Turbulent Times Chapter 290: This is how the skeleton horse thief kills
"How about our casualties?"
"One died and five were injured. Thanks to the high-quality armor sent by Gaotai City under our fur coats, otherwise the death and injury would be more than that. You must know that although the brothers are brave, those who tried to send the news to Golmud The people of Tuyuhun are dead fighters."
Wu San sat up slowly, took out a small jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Xiao Shizi: "This is a bottle of treasure given by the general when he was still working with the general, and the general prepared it himself. , but I remember that the general was not very satisfied at the time, so he gave me and Wu Si a bottle. You arrange someone to cook a pot of mutton soup, and pour five drops of this baby into the pot. It’s such a cold weather, and you’re in a hurry Those warriors who are not afraid of death should really need a bowl of hot soup."
If Wang Junlin, the world-renowned poison general, is willing to sell the poison he prepared, I believe he can sell it at a sky-high price. So, when Xiao Shitou heard that it was the poison prepared by the general himself, a blind man whose eyes were already bright, took the jade bottle carefully with both hands, and went to cook mutton soup outside the tent.
In the next few days, there was an endless stream of people from Tuyuhun who reported the news. While here, some wanted to report to the tribe by the way, and some came to ask for some supplies. As a result, without exception, they all disappeared in this strange tribe, and even their bodies were not found.
Poison kills people faster and more easily than a knife. The bottle of poison that Wang Junlin himself was not satisfied with was actually very strong. Pebbles were reluctant to waste, so only five drops were added to the cauldron. A pot of mutton soup killed many more enemies than they killed with knives during the day.
The most numerous time was when more than 30 Tuyuhun cavalrymen were poisoned to death by a pot of mutton soup.
Tuyuhun people do not have written words, so if they want to convey a piece of news to a distant place, they can only rely on word of mouth, or even some beautiful songs.
Wu San took his 2,000 skeleton horse thieves and stayed in this tribe for three days. After they killed a Tuyuhun cavalry with more than 1,000 people, Wu San already knew that this place was not for a long time. land.
What's more, the ground here is full of dead bodies. Even the murderous skeleton horse thieves are unwilling to sleep on the dead bodies every night.
Thus, Wu San took two thousand skeleton horse thieves and began to make a transition.
At this time, the skeleton horse thieves are already very wealthy. He currently owns a herd of horses and a herd of sheep. He is definitely a wealthy family among the Tuyuhun people.
From the people of Tuyuhun who reported the news, Wu San has already learned that the army of Su Changqing, Jiang Mulang and Li Xiang has swept westward for more than two hundred miles.
What he has to do now is to quickly catch up with the 3,000 Sui army while the 10,000 Tuyuhun army left behind in Golmud does not know that the 3,000 Sui army is killing wantonly behind them, and then quickly retreat to the area with them. Gaotai City.
The general personally trained 5,000 troops in Gaotai City, so there should not be too many casualties here.
…
…
The sun is setting.
There is a thick layer of blood scabs on Su Changqing's armor, as long as he moves around, the dried blood scabs will fall to the ground.
Three days of non-stop **** battle had exhausted his strength.
Standing in the ice-cold drinking water, he kicked away a Tuyuhun corpse lying in the water, ready to drink heavily.
He just scooped up a handful of water, but was knocked away by Jiang Mulang.
Su Changqing stared at Jiang Mulang with eyes as red as charcoal fire.
Jiang Mulang smiled wryly, took out a water bottle from behind and put it in Su Changqing's hand, and said, "The general once issued a strict order that we are not allowed to drink raw water unless we are forced to."
Su Changqing was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm just thirsty, I forgot about it."
Then he said to the soldiers around him: "Pass down the order, and anyone who drinks raw water without authorization will be executed!"
After speaking, he pulled out the cork of the water bottle, gulped down the full pot of water, and licked his lips and said to himself: "When the general made this rule, I I didn’t quite understand it, and I still don’t understand it.”
Li Xiang came over and said: "The general's words are reasonable, one day we will understand."
As he spoke, he scooped up clear water from the river with his helmet and began to wash off the blood on his body.
The cold and clear water drenched from head to toe, and after passing through the armor, it turned into dark red blood.
Behind him, there were more soldiers cleaning their armors. After a short effort, the river less than a foot wide turned blood red.
Jiang Mulang was naked to the waist, grinning with teeth that were stimulated by the ice water, ran to Su Changqing's side and said: "The scouts came to report just now, we are invincible within a hundred miles behind us."
Su Changqing sneered and said: "The escaped messengers are not one or two..."
Li Xiang smiled and said: "Don't forget that Master Wu San is behind us with his two thousand skeleton horse thieves."
Su Changqing suddenly said: "You mean that the Tuyuhun people who reported the letter were all killed by the skeleton horse thief of Wu San."
…
…
The **** battle in Shifengzhai is still going on. The army of Xue Yantuo under Xue Qiluo's command has attacked the city for several times, but they can't stand still. Xue Qiluo's initial high spirits had also disappeared, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and his face became more and more gloomy.
The attack on the defense fort and the main fortress has lasted for a day and a half, and it took more than half a day for the two defense forts. Today, at the beginning of the siege, Xue Yantuo's elite troops were sent to assist Gongcheng, but they only attacked the top of the city and were beaten down.
He didn't want the Xue Yantuo cavalry, which belonged directly to their father and son, to be used as cannon fodder for the siege, so he just drove the warriors of the various tribes to step up the siege. , but it was only a few times to attack the top of the city. At this time, the soldiers and people defending the city broke out with amazing fighting power and desperate will, and defeated the warriors of various tribes who had finally stood on the top of the city.
Looking at the sun, it was almost dusk again, the opponent's general named Niu Jinda was not an idiot, he must have sensed something was wrong at this time, but I don't know if Carter can hold him back.
Watching another wave of attacks being repulsed, Ren Junshuo sat powerlessly in a pool of blood. He had already been hit by several arrows. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, but they were still stained with blood.
The surrounding area is full of dead soldiers and civilian corpses. He no longer cares about how many people died. The casualties of the old soldiers are better, but there are only three to five hundred people left. As for the young For the strong people, Hu Dafei gave a weak smile, how many thousands of young and strong are there? He dare not imagine.
