Turbulent Times Chapter 315: Wu San’s ambition
(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Fat Dudu'.)
Anyway, the Tuyuhun people retreat every time they take advantage of it, and they don't need to hold their positions or defeat the enemy. How could this kind of battle be too dangerous. If...
"Woo—" Unexpectedly, another horn sounded, shattering everyone's dreams.
A lieutenant led two hundred soldiers and ran over on horseback, shouting: "According to the order of the commander in chief, all the troops from all walks of life will meet the rebels. Today, no one can retreat!"
All the generals looked stunned, and the captain sneered and glanced at everyone, and said again: "In the name of the general manager, I will lead two hundred brothers to retreat to the soil barrier to supervise the battle. If you dare not listen to the order later, you will retreat Those who are killed without mercy!"
Yuan Feng and the others felt their hearts tremble when they heard this, and they immediately understood that they must be serious today. If anyone still dealt with the matter casually with the mentality of playing, he might not die in the hands of the Tuyuhun people, and his head would be cut off by his own people for the sacrificial flag.
While feeling apprehensive, Yang Shuanghe, the defeated general, suddenly said: "There is a saying in the art of war, surprise by surprise, attack by surprise. You didn't expect that we would suddenly change course, even more so by King Bailan. If he still held on to his previous habits If you come here, we will definitely be caught off guard. In addition, the battle has been fought for so long, how can there be any morale on the rebel side? As long as you give them a hard blow, they will immediately lose their helmets and armor. And I can easily obtain a lot of military merits. After all, killing and injuring over ten thousand enemy soldiers in the first battle is not the same as beheading two or three hundred levels in the first battle!"
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but nodded. They felt that what the defeated general said made sense, but why did he always lose battles before?
Next, General Ying Yanglang of Longxi County, Yuan Feng, who is in charge of the eastern section of the defense line, began to assign tasks to everyone, and specially arranged for reliable people to select 3,000 elite troops to lead the attack.
Sure enough, not long after, everyone discovered that the rebels who came out of the city to attack were just like what Yang Shuanghe said. They had no defense at all, and their morale had dropped to the extreme. They are ready to counterattack.
More than 4,000 Tuyuhun soldiers advanced listlessly holding shields, knives and guns. Behind the soldiers were 10,000 to 20,000 ordinary people in Xiping County who were persecuted by the Tuyuhun people. Shovel and pickaxe, shambling, numb and hopeless. After that, there are another two thousand soldiers, each of them is carrying a shining steel knife, the blade is facing the people of the Sui Dynasty in front, ready to pounce on them at any time, and will dare to take advantage of the opportunity of digging to escape The person beheaded to show the public.
How could such a formation and team be used in battle between the two armies? Even if gangsters fight in groups, I'm afraid it's much more serious than this!
Thinking of this verse, Yuan Feng became more confident, and shouted: "My lord is indeed a master of meditation, the people of Tuyuhun are now a group of local chickens and dogs, and the time for me to make great achievements has come, and the brothers will fight with me later , break into Xiping City, and capture King Bailan alive!"
"Break into Xiping City and capture King Bailan alive!"
After all the soldiers roared with killing intent, Yuan Feng took the initiative to jump out with 3,000 elite soldiers and rushed towards the approaching enemy army. Like a group of tigers, they pounced on the sheep!
Three thousand elite soldiers led the way, followed by 17,000 reinforcements from Longxi County, led by their captains, swarming down along the earth barrier.
"Break into Xiping City and capture King Bailan alive!" "Break into Xiping City and capture King Bailan alive!" The Tuyuhun army rushed forward like a tide to tear down the earth barrier, smashing the latter's team to pieces.

Wu San, the famous head of the skeleton army in the Western Regions, transformed into an aged Sogdian businessman. After sticking on a big beard, he was a noble Tafula (a wealthy person) wherever he went.
Sogdian merchants are well-known in the Western Regions for their proficiency in business. They are the most popular merchants in the Western Regions, because their appearance often represents the collection of Sogdian jewelry, Persian carpets, Roman gold and silverware, and spices from Dashi. , All kinds of good things such as silk, porcelain and paper from the Sui Dynasty were brought over. No matter what ethnicity they were in the Western Regions, even the most ferocious Tubo people would not harm the Sogdian merchants.
Of course, few people know that all the Sogdian merchants are inextricably linked to Sha Qianmo, the former Horse Thief King of the Western Regions and now the leader of Zhaowu Kingdom, the second largest power in the Western Regions.
In fact, Wu San and his party belonged to a Sogdian caravan. At the beginning of the year, Wang Junlin happened to rescue Sha Qianmo by chance. The two became brothers with different surnames and races. Some people think that if you ask for help, you will really become a good brother, good friend, good **** friend or something.
But when Wang Junlin helped Shaqianmo solve the problem of weapons and armor for the 30,000 army, and the two partnered to build a base for making weapons and armor in a very secret place in Qilian Mountains, even though the two had never seen each other again. However, the two sides are getting closer and closer. Wu San led more than a hundred people and became the top horse thief gang in the Western Regions in less than a year before the enemy, and formed the famous skeleton army. very big. Therefore, it is quite normal for Wu San to lead people to mix in a Sogdian caravan.
This Sogdian caravan is not small, and there are two hundred sturdy warriors around. Each warrior has a black hood on his head, and only two holes are dug out for his eyes. So violent and cruel.
Such people are not uncommon in the Western Regions. Both Western Regions and Tuyuhun people are used to seeing this kind of Sogdian merchants who specialize in slave trading.
For more than half a year, the Skeleton Army has been active in Qilian Mountains, and they are not very familiar with the Golmud area, the hometown of Tuyuhun in the south of Qilian Mountains, so Wu San never thought that Golmud would be so big...
Sitting on the soft sedan chair, there are densely packed human heads as far as the eye can see, which is indeed similar to the capital of Tuyuhun. Wu San made a rough estimate that the population here is no less than 70,000 to 80,000.
After trading the goods they brought in the market as usual, the Sogdian caravan passed through the crowded market and came to a campsite.
There are a lot of merchants of various ethnic groups camping here. Although this season is not the best time for merchants of various ethnic groups to do business with the Tuyuhun people, the colder the weather, the scarcer the goods and the greater the profits. There is no shortage of adventurers.
A frightening light flashed in Wu San's eyes, and he said lightly: "There is news from Xiping County that King Bai Lan and tens of thousands of Tuyuhun's main force are also trapped in Xiping City. Thinking about turning this Golmud into the lair of our skeleton army."
