Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1170 Xu Xiucai

Zhang Shigui, who sat on the side and was bandaged by the third child, asked Duizheng Xiao, "Can you give me two more pots of arrows, Turkic arrows are not easy to use."

Captain Xiao looked at him, "Your arm is injured, do you still have the strength to draw the bow?"

"It's okay, I won't be reconciled if I don't kill those wolf cubs and rescue my brothers and caravan."

At this time, Zhang Shigui had already learned from the guard brother that there were 27 corpses left here, and six brothers from the guard died here.

"Wang Xiaoquan, Zhang Mazi, Li Shiba, Yan Sanying, Liu Yongguang, Pei Shuangli." Zhang Shigui chanted the names of these brothers. They were all brought out by themselves. They wanted to earn some money to go back and let their parents, wives and children live. It was better, but who knew that he died in this foreign land.

"Don't worry, they won't die in vain. No one wants to kill my Daqin people and get away with it. If you offend me, Daqin will be punished no matter how far away!"

"Captain Xiao, they are all good guys, and none of them are cowards. Wang Xiaoquan used to be a bandit who was forced to go up the mountain, armed with two big kitchen knives, and once cut down a dozen of the officers and soldiers who rounded them up. Zhang Mazi was a hunter. Later, he became a soldier, the soldier of Xue Ju and his son. He was a good archer. When wild geese flew by in the sky, if you let him shoot the left wing, he would not shoot the right wing. Before the Turkic people attacked, I saw him shoot with my own eyes. Killed no less than five Turkic thieves."

"There is also Yan Sanying, this kid used to be a monk, and he has returned to vulgarity, and the official media said that he has a daughter-in-law, and his life is like glue, but he knows a lot of herbal prescriptions, so I forced him into it. The leader of the team always needs a doctor when he is away, and he can also have his old job of chanting scriptures, but he died unexpectedly."

"And Liu Yongguang..."

Brothers one by one, they are all degenerates from all corners of the world. They were exiled in Dunhuang and were dragged by him to do business to make money. Who wants to die here.

"Captain Xiao, brothers are all ready."

Captain Xiao put his helmet on, and stretched out his hand to pat Zhang Shigui, "Let's have some betel nuts, chewing something from Lingnan is quite refreshing. Now we don't need grief, we need anger, and we need to beg for the dead. They take revenge, if we can't take revenge for them, we have no right to grieve!"

Zhang Shigui took the betel nut, threw it into his mouth, and began to chew viciously, as if he was chewing the Turkic brain.

He got on his horse and led the way.

After the Turks robbed the caravan, they did not enter the crowded city of Bachang, but instead entered one of the upstream rivers in the Gobi along the Hulu River.

The local people call the river Zao River, named after the many Zazao trees along the river, and rivers with this name can be seen everywhere in the Western Regions.

There are always some small oases near the small river that goes deep into the Gobi desert. Some oases have villages, and some are very small with only a few animals.

The group of Turkic horse thieves was hiding in a small oasis in the desert near the Shazao River. It was an oasis with spring water. Although it was not big, there was spring water for herdsmen and travelers to rest and camp.

On a sand dune, Captain Xiao and Zhang Shigui were lying behind. Not far from the sand dune was the oasis, about ten miles away from the Shazao River, surrounded by many sand dunes, with sandy jujube trees and red willows, etc. Before long, it will be buried by the shifting sand dunes and cease to exist.

Now, it has become a temporary camp for the Turks.

When the group of Turkic people attacked the caravan, Zhang Shigui and the others killed more than [-] people and injured more than a dozen. When they evacuated, they brought back the corpses and the wounded. outside losses.

But the many camels tethered in the camp, and the loads of merchant goods, were a windfall.

The Turkic people have already inspected it, and there are some good things inside, all of which are in high demand in the Central Plains. As long as they can find someone to sell them, they can immediately exchange for a lot of money.

However, this group of Turkic people is obviously still very vigilant, and there are guards around the camp.

"Damn Turkic thief, actually roasting camels and eating them."

Camels are known as the ships of the desert. They have good endurance and heavy loads. Especially in places like the Western Regions where there are many deserts and Gobi water shortages, camels can go without drinking for a long time and are the favorite partners of merchants.

But now these damned Turkic thieves are actually slaughtering camels for barbecue.

"Captain Xiao, the Turkic people are very vigilant, why don't we just attack after dark?"

Retreating from the dune, returning to the front of the team, the Xiao team is immediately starting to arrange the battle.

"No need, after dark, although it is easy to approach the camp, there are many thieves, and they can't see clearly when it is dark, and they are easy to escape. This time, we are not only going to rescue the caravan, but also take these damn Turkic thieves I will capture all the ones that are left. I will take them back, cut off their limbs, and put them on the sharp stakes beside the Silk Road, and let them die to the last drop of blood."

"But they still have nearly [-] riders. I have fought against these Turkic people before. They are very fierce and not ordinary nomads."

Team Xiao said while winding the strings, "I can see that this group of Turkic people are not ordinary people, they are not just a caravan passing by to join a ticket, nor are they greedy herdsmen nearby, these people are more like The horse thief is well-established, fierce and decisive, but no matter how fierce and cruel, we are not afraid, our patrol team specializes in this kind of crime."

After re-checking the equipment, Captain Xiao issued a kill order.

"Rush into the camp in a while, if the Turkic bandits resist, they will be killed on the spot. Third, you take the Yihuo people and rescue the caravan first. Liu Bin, you take your Yihuo brothers and stay outside. Someone escapes. You are in charge of collecting the net, but if you leak one, I only ask you!"

Both fire chiefs were ordered to leave.

Dalang Xu came up.

"Please give me a pair of armor, I want to kill the enemy too."

Captain Xiao had five sets of Turkic armors there, which belonged to the five Turkic men killed by Zhang Gui. Zhang Gui wore one, and there were four left.

Although the Suozi armor of these Turkic people is far inferior to that of the Qin army, when fighting, they can kill more with armor.

"Alang of the Xu family, you just wait here, and I will help you rescue your grandpa."

"No, I'm going to rescue my grandpa together. Don't worry. When I was at home, I was also a militiaman from our village. I belonged to the Zhongyi Bow and Archery Club. My archery skills are not bad. Give me a pair of armor and a bow and a pot of arrows." , I can kill thieves!"

Captain Xiao was a little surprised, "Looking at your gentle appearance, you seem to be a scholar. I didn't expect you to be a member of the Zhongyi Bow and Archery Club."

"My grandpa sent me to study in the private school of my relatives before. He used to teach in the primary school in our village. Now the school is also on holiday. I followed my grandpa to visit the Western Regions. It turned out that this was my last trip. of."

Hearing that Alang of the Xu family is still a teacher in the school, Xiao Duzheng admired him even more. He was also a scholar before, so he still respects scholars more.

"Since you are a scholar, why don't you wait here and wait for me to rescue your grandpa. After you go home, you can still take the imperial examination in the coming year. Don't take risks easily. If your grandpa is rescued, you are gone. I didn't." I can't tell your grandpa."

"It's okay, Captain Xiao, please give me a pair of armor, a bow and a pot of arrows, I can kill thieves!" Xu Jia Alang emphasized again, he didn't tell this Captain Xiao, in fact, he took the imperial examination this year, and He also passed the county examination and county examination, and became a scholar, but he didn't pass the Taoist examination, and he failed to pass the Juren. He was frustrated for a while, so he went out with Grandpa to take this trip to the Western Regions. In fact, he wanted to relax.

"Okay, follow me later. Third, get a pair of armor for Dalang Xu, and a bow and arrow."

"Thank you Captain Xiao, thank you Zhang Huochang!"
