Qin Xiao knew that the outcome of tonight's battle was directly related to the pattern of the grassland.
If everything goes well and Lulu Ting Ke Dun and He Gu Khan are really captured alive, then the next situation will naturally be dark for Zhen Yubu, and even the situation in Modong will undergo earth-shaking changes. However, if they fail, the consequences will be huge.
It's extremely pessimistic.
Unable to successfully capture Luantang Kedun, this true feather cavalry in the hinterland of Hegu will surely be in trouble.
Although the Hegu tribe only has 20,000 elite soldiers, there are still hundreds of thousands of them. Compared with the ordinary people in the Central Plains, the herdsmen on the grassland have been able to ride horses and shoot arrows since they were young. They were killed by the enemy in the heart. The herdsmen in the tribes at the foot of the Iron Mountain also spontaneously
After gathering together, it won't take long for this team of several thousand people to be surrounded by the Bone He people.
That's fine, the important thing is that the surprise attack plan failed, Wuqingtage had to bite the bullet and launch an attack on Luozhi Mountain, and the tragic situation of your blood flowing into the river happened again.
After the desperate fight between Xile and Xile, the only winner is the ambitious Tie Han.
He took this risky move and just hoped that God would bless him and prevent any accidents.
The real feather horse's foot power was fully utilized in this run. After only a short rest, it ran like lightning along the way and had full endurance.
War horses are very different from ordinary horses. Even on the grassland, the best horses will be selected from the horse herd for training. Only when the training reaches the standard of war horses, will they be used in war.
True feather horses are unparalleled in the world. Ordinary true feather horses can be used by other forces as the main war horses, and the mounts of the true feather cavalry are naturally the best among the elite, galloping like the wind.
Qin Xiao's Lion Cong, on the other hand, has an unattractive appearance. It looks like a rogue horse at first glance. However, when running for a long distance, not only is it not inferior to the real feather horse, but it is also full of energy. This also surprised many real feather cavalry.
"What is that?" As the team rushed, Qin Xiao suddenly raised his arms and slowed down his horse.
The real feather cavalry were well trained, and the speed in front slowed down, and those behind also slowed down quickly.
Tuya Tutun and many cavalrymen also saw at this time, a red light glowed on the horizon in front of them, and the sky seemed to be dyed red.
It was late at night, the sky and the earth were dark, and the red light appeared very suddenly, and it was also very conspicuous in the night.
Tuya Tutun looked surprised. Qin Xiao looked at the red light in the sky and suddenly realized something. He said in a deep voice: "Tutun, let everyone stop." But without any nonsense, he turned the horse's head and headed north.
After turning around, Tuya Tutun didn't know what Qin Xiao wanted to do, but he was concerned about Qin Xiao's safety and ordered a few cavalry to follow him, but the main force stopped.
The soldiers were a little confused, but many of them also saw the red light in front of them, and knew that the sudden stop must be related to the red light.
Qin Xiao galloped on his horse and soon reached the foot of Iron Mountain. He got off his horse and climbed up the mountain on foot.
The cavalry who followed were all strange, but two cavalry dismounted and followed Qin Xiao up the mountain.
Qin Xiao's movements were brisk, and naturally not comparable to those of the two cavalry. He jumped freely between troubled times like a spiritual ape. When he reached the mountainside, he found a suitable place to stand, and then he looked down in the direction of the red light.
passed.
Soon, the look on his face began to turn frightened, and then his brows furrowed, becoming extremely solemn.
The two cavalrymen finally caught up. When they saw Qin Xiao looking into the distance, they both looked over there. Although their eyesight was far inferior to Qin Xiao's, they were halfway up the mountain and could vaguely see the scene in the distance.
The color changed and he said in surprise: "Fire...fire!"
"That should be He Gu Khan's tent." Qin Xiao clenched his fists with both hands. The so-called red light was the light of fire reaching into the sky.
The team was only a dozen miles away from the fire. Qin Xiao looked down from a high position and had a panoramic view of the situation there. His eyesight was beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. He saw that the continuous tents were burning in the fire and there were many people in the camp.
I could faintly see the cavalry crisscrossing each other, a gust of wind passed by, and I could even faintly hear the faint sounds of killing and crying.
This scene made Qin Xiao dumbfounded.
There is no doubt that Hegu Khan's tent is under attack. The entire Hegu Khan's camp is shrouded in knives and fire, and it can be judged from the situation over there that Hegu Khan's tent is currently in the middle of a fierce battle.
In his expectation, He Gu Khan's tent should be in sleep at this moment, and the True Feather Cavalry would deliver a fatal blow to the heart of the unsuspecting He Gu tribe tonight.
But the scene in front of him made him feel unbelievable.
The sweat tent of He Gubu was unexpectedly attacked.
His mind was racing, and he really couldn't figure out why such a scene would happen.
Of course, those who attacked He Gu's tent could not be the Zhenyu people, let alone the Buliuda people. But in Modong, except for the other two tribes of Xile, who would dare to provoke the He Gu tribe?
Could it be that there was civil strife in He Gu?
This is certainly possible.
The control of the He Gu tribe by Luoting Kedun may have harmed the interests of some people in the tribe. These people took the opportunity to launch a rebellion while He Gu's main force was attacking Luozhi Mountain. This is of course not impossible.
But if it was a civil strife in Hegu, the purpose was simply to arrest or even execute Luotang Ketun, but why did they burn down the Hegu camp? Such a cruel method would leave no escape route. Even if the rebellion succeeded, it would stir up all the chaos.
The anger of the Hegu people will definitely not end much better.
Moreover, it can be judged from the words of Wu Qingtage and others that Luantang Kedun is by no means a stupid person. If there is really a force that opposes her in the tribe, then when the main force of the army goes out to fight, it is impossible for Kedun to
If you are unprepared, you will definitely be wary of someone in the tribe rebelling. With Ke Dun's skills, you will never let the rebels burn their tents.
Qin Xiao was extremely suspicious.
"What should we do?" A cavalryman couldn't help but asked softly when he saw Qin Xiao staring blankly at the fire in the distance.
These two cavalrymen were not stupid. Although they could not see as clearly as Qin Xiao, they could vaguely guess what was going on in Hegu Khan's tent. At least they were sure that Hegu Khan's tent was being attacked at this moment, and was still in the middle of a fierce battle.
middle.
In this case, what should this true feather cavalry, who is preparing to attack He Gu Khan's tent, do?
Qin Xiao didn't answer. He came down the mountain, got on his horse, and urged his horse back to the team. Tuya Tutun had already patted his horse to greet him. At this moment, he already knew that Qin Xiao was going up the mountain to see what was going on, so he immediately asked: "What's going on?"
"The Hegu Khan tent was attacked." Qin Xiao said simply and neatly: "The whole camp was ablaze, and the entire camp was on fire. There is still a fierce battle in the camp at this moment. It is temporarily impossible to determine where the soldiers and horses attacked the Khan tent."
Tuya Tutun looked surprised and said: "He Gu Khan's tent was attacked? How...how is this possible?"
"Tutun, their tents were indeed burned." A cavalryman who saw the situation said immediately.
Tuya Tutun frowned, hesitated, and finally asked: "Xiang Gong, should we continue to advance, or...?"
"Tutun, we are not far from Hegu Khan's tent. We can kill him with just a shake of the reins." Qin Xiao said: "But there is still a fierce battle over there. I can't figure out who is attacking the Khan's tent rashly.
It would be inappropriate to kill them. What I mean is that Tutun and his team will wait here first, and I will take a few people to go over and see what is going on. We will make a decision after we find out what the situation is."
Tuya Tutun never expected that such a change would happen. He was shocked in his heart. After hearing what Qin Xiao said, he knew that this was the best way to deal with it at the moment. He nodded and said: "I will send someone to investigate, you don't have to take the risk yourself."
"Don't worry Tutun, my mount is very fast. If there is any situation, I can withdraw quickly."
But Tuya Tutun called two cavalrymen and said to Qin Xiao: "Let the two of them accompany you. They all carry rockets. When the situation is critical and there is no time to evacuate, they will shoot rockets into the sky. I saw the signal here."
, kill immediately to support."
Qin Xiao didn't talk nonsense, patted his horse and left. Two cavalrymen urged their horses to follow.
It was only a dozen miles away. If it were normal, there would naturally be guards on duty outside the sweat tent. But at the moment, there was a melee at the camp. The guards at the surrounding sentry posts all went back to join the battle group. Qin Xiao also saw two
There was a checkpoint, but there were no guards guarding it. On a rocky slope where I rode on horseback, I looked in the distance and saw the Khan tent camp with a radius of more than ten miles. The fire was soaring into the sky. Countless tents were burned to ashes in the fire. The sound of horse hooves and the screams.
Sounds, cries, and roars all mixed together, people were running around in the camp, and corpses were strewn all over the ground. It was really a hell on earth.
Qin Xiao had known for a long time that once the grassland people started fighting, they would be extremely ferocious, like wild beasts, but it was shocking to see them now.
But the Iron Palace is also in full view.
The Iron Palace is built against the mountain wall, surrounded by palace walls made of huge stones. There are seven or eight palace-style buildings within the palace walls, forming a palace complex, but the scale is very small. Compared with the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty, it is also smaller.
It is nothing more than the size of a side palace.
The Iron Palace has only one gate, but the palace wall is covered with archers. At this moment, the Iron Palace is surrounded by enemies on three sides. However, these grassland people obviously did not prepare siege weapons, but used hooks to climb the palace wall. The Iron Palace's
The guards resisted desperately, and it was difficult for the enemy to break through for a while. But if this continues, the Iron Palace will be in danger, and it will be a matter of time before it is broken through.
The Hegu tribe was obviously caught off guard. The enemy troops were almost all cavalry, and many of the Hegu people did not have time to find their own horses. They fought with the cavalry on foot. Even though the Hegu people were extremely powerful, infantry versus cavalry was no different.
There is no doubt that he committed suicide.
"Wolf Cavalry!" A cavalryman beside Qin Xiao said in shock: "That's the Wolf Cavalry from Duer's Regiment!"
Qin Xiao's heart trembled, and he finally understood that the enemy who attacked He Gu Khan's tent at night was actually the Duer Wolf Cavalry.
The wolf cavalry from far away in Monan actually killed the heart of the Hegu people in the north.
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's body trembled. He thought of the wolf cavalry he had seen before at Hanmo Lake. The news he had received was that the purpose of the wolf cavalry recruiting troops from various ministries was to prepare to go north to attack the Shihun tribe and eliminate Duer Hu.
The last powerful enemy in Monan.
Could it be that the cavalry assembled in Hanmo Lake were not planning to go north to fight Shihun at all, but were planning to attack He Gubu?
