I just have to pray that the fire in front of me won't burn all the arrows.
After all the arrows in the hands of the merchant army were shot, Zhao Rui ordered them to block all exits to prevent the Turkic army from escaping.
The screams from the Turkic camp lasted all night and stopped in the early morning.
At this moment, the fire has been extinguished, and the stench of burning corpses can be smelled everywhere.
Except for a handful of Turkic soldiers hiding in the center of the camp and a large number of cattle, horses and alpacas, the Turkic army could be said to have been completely wiped out.
Zhao Rui did not stay here too long. He ordered the bodies of the dead Turkic soldiers to be buried, and then returned to Gucheng with the cattle, horses and alpacas.
"Brother Wang!" Zhao Weirui approached Zhao Rui with some resentment: "Didn't you say you wanted to take me out to fight? Why did you sneak away alone in the middle of the night without taking me with you?"
Zhao Rui rubbed Zhao Weirui's little head lovingly.
"You don't have any use in this battle, but you will have to show off your skills next time. Get ready and we'll set off in the afternoon."
Li Fei beside her couldn't help but frown.
"Your Highness, we have just fought all night. Isn't it a bit too tight to send out troops again in such a short period of time? The soldiers are all very tired."
Zhao Rui looked disapproving.
"It doesn't matter, I will only bring 800 people this time!"
After a few words of explanation, Zhao Rui took Zhao Weirui and Ziyun and headed northwest.
The city located here can be said to be quite fertile. The surrounding large areas of land are rich in water and grass, and are not only suitable for grazing, but also for farming.
When Zhao Rui first arrived here, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, but he was still a little regretful that in such a beautiful place, he could not see a single cow, sheep, or a field.
Just as he was in a trance, a herdsman in rags, driving a few skinny sheep, staggered over from a short distance away.
Zhao Rui immediately wondered, how could such fat aquatic plants be fed to sheep like this?
He immediately dismounted and walked over.
"Old man, why are your sheep so thin?"
The stumbling old lady smiled helplessly.
"We poor people cannot keep their sheep too fat, otherwise they will be taken away."
Zhao Rui was slightly startled.
"Don't you have to pay for the fat sheep that are taken away? The fatter the sheep, the more money you will get..."
Such simple logic can be understood even by children in Dashang.
But the herdsmen in front of them were startled when they heard Zhao Rui's words, and the man next to them hurried forward to stop Zhao Rui's mouth.
"You must be outsiders, right? You don't know the rules here. The surrounding water, grass, and fields all belong to the principal, and the sheep we raise cannot be fatter than the principal's sheep, otherwise they will be considered to have eaten from his family.
The grass that grows fat will be forcibly taken away."
Zhao Rui suddenly opened his mouth wide. This was clearly a robbery!
"Where are you from?"
The old lady pointed to the village not far away.
"It's from there. Since you have come from afar, why not come to our village as a visitor? We have our own set of rules for distant visitors."
