The leaders of the Black Horse Department and the Red Rain Department regretted it to death. Who would have thought that a small fort guarded by a few hundred people would be such a difficult bone. For a small tribe like theirs, it was already a small half of their property.
So, after taking down the Fortress, the Dark Horse Department and the Red Rain Department no longer participated in the attack on the main fort. The booty obtained after the village can be compensated to some extent.
The fortress of Wei fell, and the main fortress was immediately besieged. It was impossible for more than a thousand soldiers to defend all the walls, so the five thousand young men mobilized by several tax officials in Shifengzhai took Tian Ming and sent people from the warehouse. The knives and guns distributed inside rushed directly to the top of the city with five centurion commanders, ten fire chiefs, and a hundred veterans. They didn't even have time for training.
"Smash down the rocks, pour down the boiling oil, push down the poles, chop down the enemies who climbed up, that's all!" the centurion said loudly to all the young and strong with the simplest words.
The blood on the top of the city, the corpses piled up below the city, and the arrows of locusts in the air made the faces of these businessmen, farmers, and servants pale, their legs trembled, and they could hardly move. The veterans were impatient , forcibly drove them to the side of the city wall, and pointed to the mountain of human heads piled up below the city: "Did you see it, did you see it? If we can't defend the city, we will all die in battle, but where will the heads of you and your family be piled up?" .”
Then turned to Weibao, pointed and shouted: "Look over there, two hundred brothers died there just now, but look under the fort, there are nearly two thousand Turkic dog thieves buried with them, is it worth it?" It's worth it, it's worth it."
Some timid young men began to vomit, almost vomiting out the gall. After vomiting, they stood up. Although their faces were still pale and their legs were still trembling, their eyes became firmer. The centurion and all the veterans are satisfied. As long as these people cut the first knife, shoot the first shot, see blood, and kill people, then they will forget all their fears. Although these are rookies, After all, this is a defensive city, and there is a strong city to rely on.
The whole city of Shifengzhai, men, women and children, went to battle to resist the Turkic people. At this time, Zhangye County, Yongzhou, and even the Sui Dynasty court also exploded. It was always judged that the Eastern Turkic Khanate would not aggressively attack the city. But now it seems wrong, the Turkic people actually gathered tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry to attack Shifengzhai. Turkic people can come in at any time to fight the grass valley.
The urgent report was sent to Wang Junlin, who had just arrived in Xifeng County. The leader of the regiment led more than a thousand soldiers to guard, and this military situation, counting the time, was already a day ago.
"Does this **** think it's a group of heroes fighting in the green forest?" Wang Junlin couldn't help but doubt whether he was right to place Niu Jinda as the guard of Shifengzhai. Maybe Niu Jinda will be a fierce general in the future, or even a member A good general, but obviously still a lot worse right now.
"Send the order and leave in half an hour." Wang Junlin sighed and had to leave early. Speeding all the way from Zhangye City, the road was day and night, originally wanted to rest in Xifeng County for half a day, learn about the situation in Xifeng County, judge the enemy's situation before making plans, but right now he can't care about that much.
As for whether he can rescue Shifengzhai after leading three thousand cavalry, or even put himself in a dangerous situation, he has a certain confidence in his heart, has a plan in his heart, and has made some preparations. Of course, whether it will work or not will not be known until after the visit.

Xiaoshizi looked at the river with ice and other things in front of him, sighed, and reported to Wu Sandao: "The master, Captain Su, Captain Li, and Captain Jiang have already started to clean up the Tuyuhun tribe outside of Tuyuhun. Already."
Wu San asked curiously: "What did you find?"
Little Shizi said: "There is a **** smell in the river, and there are corpses..."
Wu San looked at Xiaoshizi with a smile and said, "What do you think we should do at this time?"
Little Shizi bowed and said, "Intercept and kill the reporter!"
Wu San continued to ask: "Who do you think is the most suitable for this task?"
Xiao Shizi grinned grimly and said, "Master, give me five hundred men, and I guarantee that none of the messengers will go to Golmud from the direction of Captain Su and the others."
Wu San smiled and said: "Okay, you have 200 scouts under your command, and you can choose the other 300 by yourself. If things fail, don't come back to see me."
Little Shizi just got his men on horses, and was about to leave the tribe where they were hiding in disguise. More than 20 tired horses came from the northwest carrying the tired Tuyuhun people. After seeing this tribe, the tired Tuyuhun people, They all opened their thirsty mouths and hissed loudly: "Get out of here quickly, the **** **** Sui army is coming!"
Little Shizi greeted him in Tuyuhun language, and then with a smile on his face, he led the people to greet him with a wave of his hand. He grabbed the leader of the group and sat down on the foaming horse. The knight jumped off his horse naturally, grabbed the reins of Xiaoshizi's war horse and said: "Come on, the Han people are coming, they have already killed several tribes...Come on, spread the news and send it to Golmud Holy City, we want to gather an army and kill all Sui dogs..."
Little Stone carefully pulled out the short knife stuck in the Tuyuhun rider's rib bit by bit. He didn't want to get **** all over his body. There was no woman around him, and he hated washing clothes the most.
The Tuyuhun cavalryman looked at Xiaoshi dully, and then found that more than 20 companions were killed one by one by other people behind Xiaoshi. He had lost the ability to speak, and his eyes were full of doubts. He still hasn't figured out what's going on.
"I am a Sui man!" Before the dagger was completely drawn out, Little Stone whispered in the ear of the Tuyuhun cavalryman.
The Tuyuhun cavalryman fell to the ground, and the ground was stained red by the blood gushing out from his ribs.
"Let other people come out and bury these corpses, let's go on." Little Stone ordered.

When it was dark, Xiaoshi came back with five hundred people smelling of blood. They were already very tired, and they felt refreshed after sitting by the firepit and drinking a sip of hot tea.
Wu San, who was asleep with his eyes closed, asked in a low voice, "How many did you kill?"
Small stone said in a low voice: "Three hundred and seventy-eight people, most of these people came to the direction of our tribe. I didn't expect that the place we chose was the only way to go to Golmud. It is also a water supply point for the Tuyuhun people.”
