After three days of fierce fighting, Langshan was finally captured.
Qiongzha led the remaining less than 200 Khalkha soldiers and retreated to the mountain col on the west side. The mountain col was surrounded by steep slopes, and there was only one road leading to the Langshan Pass. Escape had become a luxury, and Qiongzha felt very sad.
Understand that there are only two ways in front of you now, either fight to death or surrender.
Perhaps dying in battle is the best way back. In a way, you should thank God for letting you lose the opportunity to escape. If you die in battle at Langshan, the mistakes you made before will disappear.
Mulantuwa was defeated in Seglas Grassland and died. This debt must be settled by Khan. Even if he could go back alive, Mulantuwa's death and Langshan's defeat would not only lead to his own death, but he would also be unable to do anything about it.
It would hurt his family. He died here in battle. No matter how angry the Great Khan was, he would not pursue his wife, children and children anymore, right?
The wind is very cool. The wind in Langshan has the wild hunting feeling of the north, but it does not have the humidity of the south. The drought of the Ming Dynasty seems to have spread to the grasslands. Monan, especially Langshan, sees only a handful of rain every year.
Qiongza sat on the cold stone surface, looking at the stars in the sky with dull eyes. There were several bonfires burning in the distance, and around each bonfire sat a dozen Khalkha soldiers with decadent faces. Some people sang.
The ancient song sings about one’s hometown, the cattle and sheep there, and the grandmother squeezing the goat’s milk in the sun.
In a desperate situation, lighting a bonfire and singing songs, isn't this looking for death? Those Han people followed the fire and killed them, and everyone had to go to see the Immortal Heaven.
However, Qiongza did not stop those people. He knew very well in his heart that what if he made a bonfire? No matter what he did, he could not avoid the end of the entire army being annihilated. Hiding in this mountain col was just a delay for a few days.
After three to five days, hunger can kill the warrior without the enemy attacking.
More and more people echoed the singing, some with tears in their eyes, and the singing was filled with desolation and despair.
What a wonderful thing it is to be alive!
.......
In the early morning at Langshan Mountain, with birds chirping and greenery, the fighting of the past few days seemed as if it had never happened.
On the boulder outside the mountain col, Tie Mo held a long tube-shaped object and searched in the mountain col. Zhou Dingshan, Aqige and others stood behind, looking curious and anxious.
After a while, Aqige was the first to be unable to bear it. He took two steps forward and snatched the thing away. "This is the telescope you mentioned before. Let me take a look too."
Following Tie Mo's example, Aqige took a look at the col with a monocular telescope. After just one glance, Aqige was stunned for a moment, exclaimed softly, moved the telescope away, opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, and then
She put the telescope in front of her eyes again. Soon, she couldn't put it down. She clenched her hands and looked around.
"Ah, what a magical thing. The grass and trees hundreds of feet away are as if they are right in front of you, and you can see them clearly. Ha, I saw a Khalkha bastard running into a tree and pretending to be a monkey. Who can prevent it?"
Aqige was very happy. With the telescope in hand, she could see the layout of the mountain at a glance. There were no secrets. She talked while looking at it, which made Zhou Dingshan and others even more itchy.
Zhou Dingshan rolled his eyes and reached out to poke Shi Hu behind him, "Brother Hu, don't you want to take a look at that interesting thing?"
Shi Hu nodded heavily and waved to Tie Mo angrily, "Xiao Tie, do you think it's someone else's turn?"
Tie Mo smiled, stretched out his hand to pull Aqige over, grabbed the telescope, and handed it into Shi Hu's hands. Naturally, Aqige rolled his eyes with some lingering thoughts, "You are such a stingy person!"
"What are you talking about, is this thing useful? You always said that Elizabeth is useless. Don't even think about looking at that woman again."
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if I was wrong, but she is a pit of fire. How much has she burned since she arrived in Zhangbei?"
"Ahem, I will find an opportunity to talk to her about this matter. Now we have to kill those guys in the mountain col first!"
Tie Mo and A Qige kept chatting, while Zhou Dingshan and others gathered together and took turns looking at the telescope. A group of grown men even let out exclamations from time to time.
Due to technical reasons, polishing a glass mirror is very troublesome. Otherwise, a telescope would have been equipped by hand.
Wang Zuogao came from the bottom of the mountain. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, he seemed to be in a hurry. When he found Tie Mo, he said anxiously: "General, we just found a guy from the Khalkha tribe at the bottom of the mountain."
"Huh? With such a rigorous search, are there any fish that slipped through the net?"
"General, you are mistaken. These are not the defeated troops on Wolf Mountain, but the ones who escaped from the Tula River!"
"What? Fleeed here from the Tula River?" Tie Mo and Aqige looked at each other and looked at Wang Zuoguan with strange expressions.
"What's going on?"
"Hey," Wang Zuogao's expression changed, and a hint of joy appeared, "General, maybe this time we can take down the few remaining soldiers in the col without a single blow. Maybe Qiongzha will surrender to us."
"I have already asked someone about the man just now. His name is Balanzan, and he is related to Jonza. According to us, he should be Jonza's cousin. Two days ago, Segras returned to Tula after defeating his army.
He told Aba Dai about Mulantua's death. As a result, Aba Dai was furious. At night, Aba Dai's cousin Ali ran to Qiongza's tribe and killed Qiongza's family.
Balanzan was among the tribe at the time and escaped by luck."
Tie Mo and Aqige were shocked again, "What's more, who is Ali? He actually killed Qiongza's family, and Aba Dai didn't care about it?"
"I really can't control this matter. Ali is Mulantuwa's younger brother, and Mulantuwa is Abadai's cousin. The three of them have had a close relationship since they were young. Now Mulantuwa comes to rescue because of Qiongza
Unfavorable, they were defeated and killed. Both of them were very angry, but Abadai couldn't do anything out of consideration for the overall situation. But Ali didn't think so much, and committed such a thing in anger. Although Ali killed
Man, what can Abadai do?"
"Isn't this... Qiongza is so unlucky?" Tie Mo pondered for a moment and shook his head in confusion. Qiongza tried his best to clear the way for Aba Dai on Wolf Mountain, but his wife, children, and children were slaughtered by his own people at the rear.
What's even worse is that Qiongza still doesn't know about the changes in his family, and still wants to be loyal to Aba Dai until death.
"Yes, Qiongza is indeed unlucky. Mulan Tua died. Actually, it has nothing to do with Qiongza. It must be blamed on Broho for his poor fighting skills. However, this is a good thing for us. My subordinates plan to let Balanzan go."
