Cleia, who had just been put on the ground, suddenly woke up, struggled to get up from the ground, and walked towards the empty horse.
Liu Xin asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"
Cleia shook her body and said, "I, chase the enemy!"
Liu Xin's face sank and she said: "What enemy are you chasing? You have caused enough chaos. Come, escort the three of them to Beitian City!"
She knew her own soldiers and horses well, and Liu Xin understood that if it were not to protect the three of them, the cavalry would have returned long ago. After the master spoke, Cleia did not dare to make any more moves and quickly lowered her head.
Xin had already rushed past them on horseback, leaving a team of 3,000 cavalry to escort them back.
On the top of the city of Beitian, the black whirlwind watched Liu Xin hurriedly come and leave in a hurry. He felt as if he was lost. Suddenly, he heard the people in the city shouting and neighing, and another group of cavalry swept over. Looking at the armor and flags, it seemed that it was exactly
The Han army that just left.
Black Whirlwind was delighted and asked at the foot of the city: "Where is Liu Xin?"
From the cavalry team under the city, a man stepped out from the crowd and said loudly: "Your Majesty is chasing the enemy. Someone in our army is seriously injured and needs urgent treatment. Please open the city gate quickly and attack the cute beasts of the ns series."
But I heard Black Tornado say loudly: "Since Liu Xin is not here, how can we prove that you are friends and not enemies?"
Black Whirlwind was born as a horse bandit. She has been living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife all year round. She has long been indifferent to life and death. She would not care about confirming the identity of the other party. But there are many abnormalities in her behavior today. Not only does she not allow these
When the Han army entered the city, even when Liu Xin led his army to kill a lot under the city, she only allowed Liu Xin to enter the city alone to confirm their identities. The reason why she made this change was because she now had
There is no room for any mistakes to occur.
In this era, the method of identifying friend and foe on the battlefield was very simple, that is, clothing and flags. Therefore, in wars, it often happened that people put on the enemy's clothing and pretended to be enemy troops to carry out sabotage and sneak attacks. If Liu Xin was there, he would
That face was proof now, but Liu Xin was not there, and Black Tornado didn't recognize their armor and flags, so everyone couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
Suddenly, Maria caught a glimpse of the human head hanging under Cleia's neck and said quickly: "Sister, why don't you try throwing that up?"
The captain who accompanied them to escort them was quite clever. Although he couldn't understand Maria's words, when he followed Maria's eyes and saw the head, his eyes lit up and he said: "This person is
The enemy is a fierce general, maybe someone in the city can recognize him."
Cleia had recovered some strength at this time, so she immediately took off the head, came to the city, and threw it upward with all her strength. The wall of Khotan was not too high, so with this throw, the head was cut off.
It made an arc and fell towards the city. It had already been picked up by the defenders on the city.
She had just experienced a fierce battle, and everyone including Cleia's men and horses were stained red with blood, and her head, which was already covered in blood, was no exception. The defenders who picked up the head were so anxious that they couldn't recognize it.
I couldn't help feeling a little panicked, but Black Whirlwind had seen the wind and waves, and said in a deep voice: "Bring water, wash it off and see who it is!"
There was already a large vat of water on the top of the city for fire extinguishing, and soldiers had already taken the head there. After a while, there was a burst of cheers from the other side of the water vat, and some soldiers hurried over, excited.
He said: "Queen, it's Arystan, it's Arystan! Arystan is dead! Arystan is dead!"
Black Whirlwind suddenly felt relieved, waved his hand and said: "Open the city gate!"
"Absolutely not!" An old man with a white beard standing behind her suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Queen, be careful if you drive away the tiger in the front, you will attract the jackal in the back."
This old man's name is Akle, and he is the Prime Minister of Kangju. Black Tornado's ability to support itself to this day largely relies on the help of this Prime Minister.
Kahelman accidentally fell from his horse and died during a hunting trip. At that time, Queen Kangju's Black Whirlwind, who was pregnant with Liujia, had not yet given birth. Kahelman's younger brother Murza clamored to inherit the throne of Kangju. It was Akle.
They tried their best to reconsider and insisted on waiting until Black Whirlwind gave birth to the child. If a girl was born, Murza would naturally inherit the throne. If a boy was born, Murza could only be the king's uncle.
Murza had a bad temper and immediately rebelled. Akler contacted some Kangju nobles again and defeated Murza twice. It was not until this time that Murza invited Kushan soldiers and horses to surround Beitian.
city.
However, Black Tornado is not stupid, there are many doubts in it.
For example, Kahelman grew up on a horse and had excellent riding skills. How could he suddenly fall off his horse and die? Was it just an accident? It is said that the only two people at the hunting scene were Murza and Akler.
Personally, both of them were vague about the situation at that time, so there must be something fishy going on here.
Also, according to what Murza said after he came back, Akle originally promised to support him in taking the throne, but ended up going back on his promise. Naturally, Akle denied it. One of the two people must be lying, Black Tornado
I would rather believe that the grumpy Murza is outspoken. Moreover, she is a foreigner and is not related to Akler. Why would Akler be so enthusiastic and willing to take risks to help her?
If Black Whirlwind was alone, she could have walked away, but now she couldn't. She had no choice but to make a fool of herself and try to figure out a good plan. On the third day after she gave birth to the child, Murza led an army to invade.
Black Tornado dragged his weak body to the city to take command, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders. It was also during these battles against Murza that Black Tornado took the lead and won the respect of the people in Kangju. Special Teacher
.
However, the entire power of Kangju has actually fallen into the hands of Akler. Black Whirlwind can only compete with external forces, otherwise it will become a puppet sooner or later. It doesn't matter if she becomes a puppet, but she doesn't want to let herself
His son also became a doll at the mercy of others. At this time, Cai He, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, came to visit. When Black Whirlwind heard that Liu Xin had proclaimed himself emperor, he asked the Han Dynasty to send troops to help him quell the rebellion, so he had Liu Xin's imperial chariot this time.
Personal expedition.
Now, the Han army has arrived at the city, and Liu Xin personally led the army there. If the Han army enters the city, they will definitely help her mother and son secure their position. However, she has to listen to Akler's objections.
At the moment of embarrassment, soldiers had already washed the head, presented it to the black whirlwind, and said loudly: "Queen, please look, it is indeed Arystan!"
Arystan was the number one general under Murza, and countless Kangju soldiers died under his giant scimitar. The first two attacks of Murza were thwarted, and the black whirlwind had a chance to kill Murza.
The reason why he was captured was because he encountered Arystan and the 10,000 cavalry he led. As a result, Murza escaped unharmed, but his own side suffered a loss of troops and a severe loss of vitality. Therefore, after learning the news that Arystan was beheaded,
, there was cheering on the city top, and even a smile appeared on the corner of Akle's mouth.
Just when the black whirlwind was in a dilemma, Cleia suddenly staggered below the city and fell off her horse. It turned out that she had been injured in many places and had lost a lot of blood. She had just thrown Arystan's head onto the city with all her strength.
Head, almost exhausted of all strength.
When Black Whirlwind saw this scene, he suddenly had an idea, pointed towards the city, and said loudly: "Look, everyone, that is the hero who killed Arystan. He is seriously injured now. If he is not allowed to enter the city for treatment quickly, I am afraid that he will be killed."
Your life is in danger!"
The defenders on the city suddenly became commotion and shouted together: "Open the city gate quickly! Open the city gate quickly!"
But it is said that Liu Xin led Sun Ce and more than ten thousand cavalry to pursue Murza until dusk, and finally surrounded Murza at the border of Kangju. They were only thirty miles away from annihilating Arystan. At this time, Murza
There were only more than 3,000 people left around Za, and they were all exhausted. Murza now knew that they were fighting with the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty invited by Black Tornado. Knowing that they were no match for him, Murza had no choice but to send someone to surrender. He also promised that as long as he was the leader, he would surrender.
After ascending to the throne of King Kangju, he would cede territory to the Han Dynasty and claim vassal status.
In the past, Liu Xin might have agreed to his request, but since Black Tornado is Queen Kangju, Liu Xin would not be able to have any more negotiations with Murza, nor would she leave Black Tornado with a strong enemy.
Before the messenger finished speaking, Liu Xin faintly uttered one word: "Kill!"
The battle ended quickly. More than 3,000 people fell in a pool of blood. Murza himself had one arm cut off and was made a prisoner.
When Liu Xin reappeared under the city of Beitian with his victorious army, it was already the second watch. A full moon hung high in the sky, but a slender figure on the top of the city was always looking at the southeast. A large group of Han troops were galloping towards them.
, the gates of the city of Bhotan are already wide open.
Black Whirlwind came out first, bowed twice to Liu Xin, and said, "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty, for relieving the crisis in Beitian City!"
Just now when Black Tornado was about to open the door to let Cleia and others into the city, Akler complained quite a bit. However, seeing that all the troops on the city were moved and afraid of offending the public, he reluctantly agreed. Now Liu Xin's army has arrived.
Akele didn't dare to stop him anymore, so he had to lead all the civil and military officials and a group of Kangju nobles to wait outside the city gate.
Although Liu Xin had something to ask Black Tornado, it was a pity that there were many people and there was no chance for a while, so she had to cup her hands and said: "It's so late, and I feel sorry for the queen to come here to greet you. Please ask the queen, I
How are the injured soldiers doing now?"
Although this battle was very fierce, not many people were injured. The Han soldiers had all undergone first-aid training, and they could deal with minor injuries by themselves. The most seriously injured was Sister Cleia.
It's strange that their desperate fighting style didn't get injured. There is another injury that Liu Xin is also very worried about, that is Liya. Although the Hu girls are not as weak as the Han people, Liya is not as weak as the Cleia sisters after all.
For formal training, a stab in the arm would probably be a serious injury.
Black Whirlwind said quietly: "Your Majesty is probably concerned about the princess. Don't worry, I've already had someone bandage her up. There should be nothing serious."
Hearing the hint of sourness in Hei Xuanfeng's words, Liu Xin's face fell.
