The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 717 Seven hundred six: Three people lead a team to massacre the Turks

Chai Shao and Tieniu woke up all the personnel who participated in this operation from their sleep.

Then everyone started eating, when people were almost full.

The shopkeeper of the inn came over and said with a playful smile: "I say three respected guests, you put all the horses in my small shop, I am very grateful to you!

However, the small shop is really too poor. You put so many horses in my small shop. It is not too shameful to say that I can supply you for a day or two in this small shop.

If you let me hold on for five or six days, I really can't hold on!

Ordinarily, there are rules for opening a store, and the bill is only paid when the customer leaves.

However, old man, I am really too poor, the money in my hand can't last until you leave.

Three distinguished guests, can you think of a way to lend us the money in advance? "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, don't you still have money in your baggage!
Why don't you just give him 500 taels of silver first!
You said he can't continue the business, what can we do if we don't pay him some money in advance! "

"Well! Well then! I'll pay him the silver, and I'll be more or less light.

Damn, carrying them all day is pretty heavy! "

Tieniu opened the bag, took out 500 taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.

Thank you so much for the shopkeeper!

The shopkeeper waved his hand with a smile, and three young men came over immediately, and the four of them took the 500 taels of silver away.

Duan Wuji thought for a while, untied his money bag, and handed it to Duan Changhong.

"Brother Changhong, this is my silver bag, and there is more than 2000 taels of silver in it, please keep it for me, and take it from the inside when it is time to spend it!

I am tired enough to carry it. "

Duan Changhong took the silver bag and said with a smile: "Brothers, you can go at ease!

Brother, I wish you a successful start and success in no time! "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Brother Changhong, just wait for our good letter!

Brother, I have been doing business for such a long time, but I have never missed it!

Brothers, let's eat quickly. If we are full, we will leave immediately.

Let me tell you that everyone has prepared enough dry food for three days and brought water bags.

Let's go in a while!

Brother Tieniu and Brother Chai, let's go eat too!

After eating, let's lead the team to set off! "

Duan Wuji said to a guard: "Go, go and wake up Yelu Hengtong too!

Let him have something to eat too, and we can leave later!

He has also slept for such a long time, and he should have recovered from his fatigue. "

The guard turned and left, Duan Wuji and the three of them also went to eat.

After the people were full, everyone got ready. Seeing that the people were all ready, Duan Wuji said loudly: "Okay, let's get on the horse and set off immediately! Brother Yelu, you lead the way, and we will try to reach the ambush site as soon as possible." go!"

Yelu Hengtong got on his horse after hearing this, and immediately led the team of more than 100 people straight to the pass of the Great Wall.

At this time, the sun was already westward, and under the leadership of Yelu Hengtong, the team rushed straight to the east.

Yelu Hengtong avoided those residents a little bit, where is the desolation and where to go!I didn't meet a single person along the way.

By the time the sun went down, the team had rushed out for more than 200 miles.

After the sun set, the speed of the team slowed down, and the whistling northwest wind picked up again. The whizzing northwest wind blew up the snow on the ground and hit people's faces, which was really painful!

Fortunately, there was Yelu Hengtong leading the team, he was relatively familiar with the surrounding environment and knew how to go this way.

By midnight, the team had traveled another 200 miles. To be honest, all the horses were exhausted.

The team continued to go north, and at the fourth watch, Yelu Hengtong brought the people into a ravine.

Yelu Hengtong got off his horse.

"Brothers, we have traveled for such a long time. Everyone must be exhausted. Let's rest for a while before we talk! Everyone must be exhausted!"

People jumped off their horses, and while putting the horses in the ravine, they ate cold dry food and waited for dawn.

After more than an hour, the sky gradually brightened.

Duan Wuji looked around, and saw that they were in a very huge ravine. This ravine was as wide as three or four miles from east to west, and the north and south could not be seen at a glance!

There are many wild grasses in the ravine, towering ancient trees on the hillside, and jagged rocks. The direction of this ravine is probably in the direction of northwest and southeast. That is, the further north you go, the wider the ravine is!

After watching for a long time, Duan Wuji asked Yelu Hengtong: "Brother Yelu, what is the name of this valley?

Will that boy named Jiebu Zaba pass through this ravine? "

Yelu Hengtong laughed and said: "This ravine is called Labagou, also called Bailigou. This ravine is wide in the north and narrow in the south. The wide part is sixty or seventy miles wide, and the narrow part is three or four miles wide. look like.

If Jiebu Dhaba and the others sell horses, this is the closest way for them to go.

If they took a detour, they would have to travel six or seven hundred miles!

This place is our Turkic people's place, and it's also the territory of that old boy. Why do you think he would look far away?

If you ask me, they will go this way! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Alright then, let's ambush him in this place for a day or two!

If they don't go this way, then they are lucky, if they do go this way, then they are unlucky! "

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said: "Brother Tieniu, you and Brother Chai will take 80 people to Beishan Pass, and find a hidden place to hide first.

At the same time, send one or two people to monitor whether there are horses entering this mountain pass at any time!

If a herd of horses enters this ravine, you will follow them far behind, and when they reach the narrowest point, let's encircle them again.

If they camp in this ravine at night, let's wait until they camp before encircling them!
At that time, they were defenseless, and there will be no harm if we act! "

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Alright then! Brother Chai, let's take eighty brothers and leave quickly.

Let's go to the ambush site and stay there, so we can all have a good night's sleep with him.

When will they come, when will we act! "

Chai Shao gathered eighty brothers together, and immediately galloped his horse to the north of the ravine.

Duan Wuji glanced at his remaining personnel and said: "Let's retreat to the south first, isn't there a dense forest on the west hillside over there! Let's find a place to hide in the depths of the dense forest too!"
Brother Yelu, you are with us!You'd better retreat dozens of miles on the way we came and hide!

It's more dangerous to be with us, if one or two people who know you run away, it will bring disaster to you and your Qingcaotan!

Destroying them all is our goal, who knows if we can achieve it!

In case they brought a large number of people, it is normal for ten or eight to run away! "

Yelu Hengtong thought for a while and said: "Well! What you said is also very reasonable, and the thing is indeed like this. I don't know exactly how many of them there are. What if there are too many of them!
It is normal to run out a few times.

Why don't I just step back a few dozen miles and wait for you guys to go!

This is indeed safer.

Brother Wuji, you have to cut off that old boy's head and let me take it back!

I want to use his head to pay homage to my second brother. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Don't worry! What's the problem with this! When the time comes, I'll take it back for you and it's over!"

Yelu Hengtong got on his horse, Niu turned his horse's head and ran away after a while!
Duan Wuji led the rest of the staff to a small pine forest on the west hillside.

After entering the woods, the people tied their horses to the small pine trees and let them gnaw the withered grass in the woods. These people found their own places, and all lay down and went to sleep. After all, they had driven nearly a night last night. , People need to replenish their physical strength!

It wasn't too long, and there was a lot of snoring in the small forest.

As the sun gradually rose, the woods became relatively warmer.

After noon, all the people woke up one after another. They moved their numb bodies, and then began to eat the cold dry food they brought. Everyone took out their water bags from their belts and drank a few sips of water casually. , I finally got through the meal.

People changed the horses to a small tree and tied them up again, so that they could continue to eat the dead grass.

People had nothing to do, they all gathered in front of Duan Wuji.

"Duantouer, you see, if we sit here and wait for the rabbit, can we meet the enemy?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly and said: "Who dares to say that! If you don't meet the enemy, you are very lucky! You won't have to take that risk again.

However, the three of us were unlucky. This time, each of the three of us will lose at least five or six thousand taels of silver! "

"Mr. Duan, you are such a rich man! How could you call such a small amount of money again!
If you lose a little, you lose a little, you take advantage of so much money, don't you get angry just looking at them! "

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this.

"I don't have money to spend when I get angry, so why should I get angry if I have too much money!

You all go on resting!
Once it gets dark, it will be too cold, and it will be very difficult to sleep at that time. "

When people heard the same reasoning, they found another place and continued to sleep.

After dark, all the people woke up from the cold again. They ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and continued to wait in this small pine forest.

When it was almost time for Ding Gengtian, Duan Wuji stood up excitedly.

"Brothers, the enemy's horses have already camped in this ravine. Let's move immediately and prepare for action."

"Duantou, why didn't we hear anything, how did you hear it!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Sleep when you are full, and eat when you wake up, can I do like you!
If I really want to be like you, even if there is a mountain of gold, sooner or later I will lose it all!

Aren't we downwind!I heard the enemy's horses as soon as they entered the mountain pass, but the enemy's horses were not advancing very fast.

Maybe it's because it's dark!
Everyone cheer me up and tell you that we don’t want anyone alive, as long as they are the Turkic people who traded in Mali this time, you will kill them all for me!
Did you hear me clearly?

Well, let's lead the horses and go down the mountain immediately! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji led his mount and walked down the mountain first, and the rest of the people untied their horses and followed!
Everyone led the horses and walked another four or five miles north, Duan Wuji said: "You left twenty people waiting here on horseback.

Once there are enemies rushing out, you all shoot them with bows and arrows.

The rest leave the horses here!We touch them all with swords.

Come with me, brothers. "

These people abandoned their horses, followed Duan Wuji very quickly and went straight to the north side of the ravine to touch them.

At this time, it was pitch black in the ravine, and I really couldn't see my fingers!

After walking another four or five miles, a fire burst out of the ravine.

Duan Wuji knew that the Turks had already lit the bonfire.

After walking half a mile forward, Duan Wuji pulled out his sword from behind. At this moment, they were only more than 100 feet away from the Turkic fire.

The people dispersed, and under the cover of the weeds, they moved forward very slowly.

When it was about twenty feet away, people could already hear the Turkic man's voice.

The black crowd of horses could also be seen clearly by the light of the fire.

The Turks lit a total of eight bonfires, and a small tent was set up beside the bonfire.

Many Turkic people gathered around the bonfire and started to eat meat, and the smell of it wafted along the wind.

Duan Wuji roughly counted, there were at least fifteen or six people beside each fire, and there were at least one hundred, twenty or thirty Turkic people beside the fire alone!

When Duan Wuji and the others felt that they were four or five zhang away from the Turkic people, suddenly there was a Turkic cry from the north of the fire.

Duan Wuji knew that it must be Tieniu and the others who had already started their attack. Just when the Turks beside the fire were stunned for a moment, Duan Wuji rushed out first.

Duan Wuji raised his sword and fell, he chopped down eight or nine Turkic people in one breath!

When the personnel brought by Duan Wuji saw that Duan Wuji made a move, they all rushed over with their swords.

These people were all desperate, and many of them had already been beheaded before those Turkic people came back to their senses.

All of a sudden, there was chaos, the sounds of cursing, moaning, and the clashing of swords all rang out together.

Although these Turkic people were relatively large in number, Sihao was not mentally prepared. By the time they realized it, eighty or ninety Turkic people had already been killed or injured.

The remaining Turkic people panicked and drew out their weapons, screaming and resisting desperately!

Then, at this time, they are already at the absolute bottom in terms of numbers!
Duan Wuji waved his sword and walked quickly among these Turkic people, he almost killed a Turkic man in one or two encounters!

The Turkic people are now in despair, and everyone is fighting a trapped beast!At this moment, Chai Shao and Tieniu led the people and rushed over on horseback.

The two of them didn't speak, and they entered the battlefield directly. When these Turkic people were making their final resistance, the people rushing over undoubtedly dealt them the deadliest blow!

The battle ended quickly and completely. During the whole battle, there was almost no time for half a meal!

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, why haven't you seen that man named Jiebu Zaba!"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Have you seen the tent?"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"We didn't see that!
However, if we rush in rashly, there will definitely be casualties!

Brethren, take out the burning sticks in the campfire, and set this tent on fire from all sides, and we'll burn him!
After hearing this, the staff took dry wood from the bonfire and threw it at the tent one after another. After a short time, the tent caught fire.

A Turkic man in his 30s rushed out of the fire. The house was covered in fire. He waved a scimitar and rushed out screaming. With the sound of arrows swishing, the Turkic man fell to the ground in great pain. up.

Duan Wuji rushed over and raised his sword, and chopped off his head.

Duan Wuji looked at it with a smile, and saw that the remaining clothes on the corpse were very gorgeous, so he concluded that he was the head of the horse trade this time!

Duan Wuji said: "Whoever is carrying this human head, whoever is carrying this human head, then there is no need to drive the horse!"

"Duantou, I'm lifting it, what the hell is the difference between lifting a pig's head!

Such a thing is not as heavy as a pig's head! "

Duan Wuji looked at the raging fire, and said to Chai Shao and Tieniu: "Brothers, see if there are any Turkic people who are still alive? If there are any, kill them all!"
The two of you lead people to search and search carefully, we must do things cleanly! "

The two immediately led people to search one by one!
Duan Wuji said to the people around: "Brothers, don't these Turkic people lie down! Some of them may not be dead yet!

After a while, you all cut off their heads, and then feel if there is anything valuable on them!

These Turkic people like to wear earrings and so on, these things will be of some use after taking them back!

If you find out some money, wouldn't you be rich!
Let me tell you, those Turkic people on the ground, you must cut off his head first and then touch his body.

If he didn't die, if he hit you suddenly, wouldn't it be too unfair for us to die?

Whoever finds out the things from them wants it!

However, everyone must pay attention to safety! "

As soon as these personnel heard this, they immediately split up and acted in twos and threes!

Who doesn't want to make a small fortune!

When Duan Wuji saw that the tent was burnt out, he put his sword into the scabbard and jumped in.

Duan Wuji wandered around inside with his boots for a while, and finally found two silver bags that were still on fire.

Duan Wuji stamped out the fire with his feet, and lifted them out from inside.

Duan Wuji knew that each bag of silver was probably worth three to four thousand taels!

Duan Wuji threw the silver bag on the ground and shook his hands.

"Damn it, it's really hot!

Um!At this moment, I can't lose the money, and it's basically enough to get it back! "
