Karapatian turned over and dismounted, and pierced the Khan scimitar in his hand into the hard soil around him. The remaining sword energy and murderous aura in the knife exploded, and all the green grass within a few dozen feet suddenly withered. .
There were large bloodstains on the armor on his body. It was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle. Unlike Emperor Qin Song, who rarely went to the battlefield despite his superb cultivation, most of the great Khans of the Huns personally led the battlefield to fight. , the more intense and important the battle, the more so. If you keep hiding in the rear, you will be looked down upon, which will directly shake its prestige, and Karapathia is naturally no exception.
The fierce battle has lasted all day and did not stop until nightfall, but this is only a temporary pause. Everyone knows that the battle will be even more fierce after the sun rises tomorrow, and it will not be peaceful at night. , the actions of both sides such as stealing camps, raids, and battles between scouts are inevitable.
Both Qin Song and the Xiong Li were on guard against the possibility of an all-out attack by the other party under the cover of night, so they did not dare to relax at all. Even when resting, soldiers were not allowed to remove their armor, and their weapons could not be left behind. , which is a huge torture and test for the bodies and souls of soldiers on both sides.
Some trusted nobles of ten thousand households and senior generals such as captains of thousands and captains also came to Karapathian to dismount. They were also covered in blood. Many of them had severe or minor wounds, and the smell of blood was strong and pungent. , like a group of butchers who have just been washed with blood.
"Where are Zhulang Chitai and Huut? Why haven't they come back yet?"
Seeing that there were a few familiar faces missing among the people around him, Karapatian's expression suddenly darkened. Bad thoughts emerged in his mind, and then the answer from a captain of ten thousand men confirmed his ominous premonition.
"Both Zhulang Chitai Ten Thousand Houses and Huut Ten Thousand Households died in the battle, together with their tribal guards Great Khan, our losses today are too serious. Tens of thousands of the most capable warriors are just gone. Moisturizing the soil and grass of the prairie with flesh and blood.¡±
The captain's eyes were red, and his heavy breathing sounded like he was crying. The other Xiongli nobles also looked sad. The Xiongli was not Qin Song. The population was the most precious strategic resource, and it was lost in one day. The tens of thousands of elite warriors were definitely a painful loss for them.
"The war can't go on like this, Khan. If it goes on like this, the blood of us Huns will be shed here."
A Hungarian nobleman who was a little thin in comparison, but whose eyes were clearer and not as red as the others said: "We can no longer fight with the Qin Song people here. Instead, we should restore our original wolf pack tactics and The army spread out to attack in all directions, turning the entire prairie into our battlefield. Now the Qin Song people have to cross the entire prairie to get here. The supply line is long and fragile. We can"
"Shut up, you coward, Belgutai, do you want the Great Khan to abandon the sacred Geligong Mountain? What on earth do you have in mind!"
Before he finished speaking, several Hungarian nobles around him immediately started yelling and cursing. Someone even shouted loudly: "Geligong Mountain is the root of us Huns, so we have given up here. We will die without the shame to see our ancestors! I know that your Qin Dynasty is flowing in your body at Belgutai." The bastard who praises your mother's blood is a coward, you are not worthy of being a Huns warrior!"
¡°My mother is just the beauty of Qin Song that my father kidnapped. Belgutai, who would never be able to inherit his father's position if all his other brothers had not died, had always been the most taboo about others talking about his bloodline. Now his eyes, which were still somewhat clear, turned blood red, and there was a hint of blood. Calmness evaporated, White Teeth was about to start a fight with those Hungarian nobles who were mocking him.
"Stop it, don't even look at what time it is and what it looks like!"
Karapatian shouted angrily, but his eyes were full of hesitation and struggle. He was a very strategic person. He could naturally think of what Belgutai could see, but he could give up Geligong Mountain. What
"You all go back and rest. Today's battle is just the beginning. The real cruelty is yet to come."
Because Karapatian could not make up his mind to express his intention to retreat over and over again, he knew very well that as a Huns with wolf nature in their bones, once he issued such an order, even the most loyal confidants in front of him would probably Very dissatisfied, not to mention those other Huns tribes.
"Sweating profusely"
The Hungarian nobles were still unwilling to accept it, and they glared at Belgutai for a few times before leaving. But Belgutai stayed, and after everyone had dispersed, he said: "Great Khan, your wisdom is good." As flawless as the ice and snow on the holy mountain, we can naturally see that if we gather here to fight to the death with the Qin Song people, it will only lead to a dead end."What"
"Stop talking, Belgutai, I know all this very well, but if we abandon Geligong Mountain, even if we Huns can survive, we will lose our souls, and even the place where our ancestors' souls live will be lost. That way Can the Huns still be considered Huns?"
Karapatian finally shook his head. Belgutai sighed in disappointment and said with tears: "No matter what the final outcome of us Huns is, I will fight with the Great Khan until the last moment."
"Thank you for your loyalty, my friend."
Karapatian patted Belgutai on the shoulder, but felt extremely depressed and uncomfortable in his heart.
After returning to the sweat tent, Karapathian asked all the women who were preparing to sleep to leave, and he lay alone on the big bed made of the softest furs. The resolute bed seemed to never be beaten. The face that had been shaken by anything finally showed a trace of unprecedented vulnerability.
Continuing to fight to the death with the Qin Song people here, short attacks and long attacks will only lead to death. The seemingly endless troops of the Qin Song people are pouring here continuously, but the Huns are dying one by one. If they continue to fight like this , sooner or later all the Huns will be wiped out.
Karapatian knew this very well, but he knew even better what would happen to him if he ordered to give up guarding Geligong Mountain. Even if he is the Great Khan of the Huns and the blood of the Golden Lion family.
The political structure of the Xiongli people is different from that of Qin Song. Although all the great khans in the past dynasties are from the blood of the Golden Lion family, the Golden Lion family is just the most powerful among the many tribes of the Xiongli people. Once it weakens, countless people will immediately come to snatch the throne. If Karapathia chooses to give up on the issue of guarding Geligong Mountain, then the leaders of each tribe will never be willing to accept it. Maybe there will even be an appearance within the Huns. Internal strife.
"Dear Khan, I'm back."
A slightly tired voice came from outside the sweat tent. Karapathian's expression suddenly perked up and he said loudly: "Great Shaman, please come in quickly. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a thin figure flashed in. It was none other than Telangtai, the leader of Wangting Shaman. Before he could salute, Karapatian had already spoken: "How is the situation? The shamans of Bailuyuan. Can you come in time for support?"
The reason why I keep fighting here is not only for myself. There is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, and that is Bailuyuan. At this last moment of life and death for the Huns, Bailuyuan obviously has to go all out. As long as Tongtian Wu can take action, then
However, the bitter smile on Te Langtai's face made the hope in his heart disappear all of a sudden. He said eagerly: "Why, at this time, those great shamans still want to bargain with us? Without the Huns, they are just rootless duckweeds, and will be destroyed by the Qin Song people sooner or later."
"It's not that the great shamans are unwilling to take action. In fact, the entire Bailuyuan has long wanted to fight Master Qin Songxian. At worst, the Eastern Continent will be completely destroyed. Everyone will die together, but the Great Khan"
Chief Te Lang sighed and said: "Bailuyuan has been blocked by Qin Song's master. In addition to Qin Song's magicians from the immortal and demon factions, even the immortals from the heaven and the demons from the demon world have come to bear the punishment of heaven. , obviously no matter what the cost, even I wouldn¡¯t be able to come back if not for the help of Patriarch Tongtian Witch himself.¡±
"How could this happen? Could it be that even the Patriarch can't"
The last hope was shattered. Karapatian's face suddenly turned ashen. Telangtai smiled bitterly and said: "The greatest Shura of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has appeared in person. With him here, what can the Patriarch do? But the Patriarch promised me, No matter what, she will keep my Xiongli bloodline intact, please rest assured, Great Khan."
"One more thing, the Patriarch said that although Princess Sunny Zhuozhen disappeared from the Western Continent, she is currently unable to determine her location, but she is sure that the princess is safe and sound now, so please don't worry about her."
"This is good news, especially at a time like this."
Karapatian smiled bitterly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Sanni Zhuo was really safe, and that was enough. No matter where she was now, it was better than accompanying her to death here.
"Great Khan, the Patriarch wants me to tell you that no matter what decision you make, she will support you and you don't have to have any worries."
When Telangtai's words came into his ears, Karapatian's eyes lit up and he jumped up. He grabbed Telangtai's skinny shoulders and shouted loudly: "Why didn't you say this earlier! Haha! , the founder is still wise and sees everything very clearly. With her words, everything will be easier, let¡¯s see who dares to object!¡±
"Immediately go and send an order to all the tribal leaders, nobles and generals to come to my tent. I have important orders to give."?¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from outside the tent, and his expression was suddenly startled: Could it be a night attack by Qin Songren?
At that moment, he and Te Langtai rushed out of the sweat tent. At this time, an officer of the Golden Tent Wolf Army hurriedly ran over and said urgently: "Reporting to the Great Khan, Prince Hailik led a group of troops to attack the Qin Song people at night. Went to the military camp."
Helic?
Karapatian's brows suddenly furrowed. Ever since the truth about the mastermind behind Hailiknai's attack on Sanni Zhuozhen was exposed, the relationship between their father and son has taken a turn for the worse. Even though this is the tradition of fighting for the throne of Khan, Hailik actually attacked Sangni Zhuozhen. Ni Zhuozhen's act still made Karapathia extremely angry, but Helik's own power had already taken shape, and he had the full support of his mother's tribe. At this time, even the great Khan of Karapathia could not do anything. After all, Hailic didn't attack him directly, and there was no evidence.
Maybe it would be a good outcome to let Hailik die in the hands of Qin Songren
This somewhat dark thought suddenly popped out of Karapatian's mind, and he shouted angrily: "Damn it, he acted without asking for permission. Even if he is my son, I will never forgive him! He brought How many people were involved in the night attack?"
"Thanks to the Great Khan, in addition to the 3,000 fine cavalry and 10,000 bow cavalry directly under his command, there are also many young nobles who have attacked with His Highness, including Sambas Qianhu of the Tajik tribe. Hage Xiao of the Hulun tribe. Prince, Tuo Lei and Chi Yan from the Motali tribe are two thousand households"
Every time the officer announced a name, Karapatian¡¯s brows furrowed deeply, and in the end they knitted together even more tightly, his brows filled with endless rage and irritability.
Although these young people are not the direct leadership of the Huns today, they are all heirs and young princes of various tribes. They include almost two-thirds of the younger generation of aristocratic elites of the Huns. When did Helik The power has actually expanded to this extent. To win over so many young nobles?
But what angered Karapathian the most was the meaning behind Helik's action. Taking so many young nobles to attack together obviously tied everyone, including him, to his chariot. The Huns could We cannot afford the loss of so many young nobles. Karapathian's original dark idea of ????wiping out the help of Qin Songren to eliminate Haili Ke could not be realized, but it had to do its best to support him and protect him.
When did your son not only have a heart like a poisonous snake, but also a mind like a fox?
Karapatian cursed Hailik countless times in his heart, and at the same time, the order to mobilize troops for support was also conveyed immediately. It seems that tonight will be a night full of blood.
=======================
Hailik¡¯s mother is the daughter of the leader of the Red Sun Tribe, whose strength among the Huns is second only to the Golden Lion family. Although she has passed away, everyone in the Red Sun Tribe still regards Hai Like as their master and spares no effort to support him. Most of the 3,000 most elite cavalry and 10,000 horse archers under his command are from the Chiri tribe, and now they are also joined by the troops brought by the young nobles from various tribes. A raiding force of more than 30,000 was formed, and its average quality exceeded that of ordinary nomadic cavalry. Moving forward quickly and vigorously on the dark prairie.
Hailik used the tactics he learned from the people of Qin Song. All the war horses were covered with hoofs and the sound was extremely low. Although Qin Song must have been prepared to prevent night attacks, the later he was discovered, the more he would gain. points advantage.
"Prince, this time we must kill him vigorously to let those old guys know how powerful we are."
A young nobleman who was as majestic as a giant bear, but whose face was obviously a little childish, rode to Helic's side and rode side by side with him. His acne-covered face was full of excitement and desire: "We want to make this happen." Qin Songgou knows how brave the real Xiongli warriors are!"
Hailik glanced at him and said: "Just say that you are right to follow me, Hager. After this battle, the heir to the Hulun tribe will definitely be you, and your brothers will have no chance at all."
Hager nodded excitedly, his heart already filled with the desire to kill and his own ambition. The other young Hungarian nobles were no exception. The blood and impulse of youth were boiling and burning in their bodies!
Feeling the excitement of his companions around him, a faint sneer finally appeared on Hailik's face. As long as the night attack could succeed, his prestige would reach a whole new level, and he would be qualified to launch a formal challenge to the old wolf. Already
He didn't expect to defeat Qin Song's army with just one night attack. That was simply impossible. Qin Song's army stretched for hundreds of miles like a sea of ????people. Their endless numbers made every Huns tremble with fear. From the night sky, Looking down at the fires of military camps one after anotherThe light is like endless stars. Even if this night attack can be successful, it will be good if it can destroy a Qin Song military camp, and this is his purpose. Under the current situation, a one-point record can be expanded to Very, he urgently needed the momentum to compete with Karapathia, because he knew that the old wolf was going to attack him soon, and he had to strike first.
There was some mud on the dark prairie, so it was a bit laborious for the war horses to run. However, the Huns all knew that the mud was not caused by rainfall, but the blood shed from the fierce battles during the day and the flesh and blood trampled into mud that nourished the prairie. Because of this, this is a real blood-fertile grassland. The pasture here will definitely be extra rich next year.
The pungent smell of blood not only penetrated the nose, but even in the darkness, one could still see countless incomplete corpses that had been trampled on the prairie. The Huns' faces became gloomy, and they even lost interest in talking. Because most of these corpses belong to their warriors. The corpses of those Qin Song people have been recovered as much as possible, but they do not have the manpower of Qin Song people.
One day one day I will also let the corpses of Qin Song people cover the entire Qin Song Empire!
Hailik gnashed his teeth and swore, his face twisted like a ferocious wolf seeking to devour people in the dark night.
"Not far ahead is Qin Songren's outpost. I took people to touch it."
Hager excitedly licked his lips, which were a little dry due to excitement. Although he was very young, he was famous for his violent character, and his natural power and fighting ability ranked among the best among the younger generation of the Huns. .
However, before Hailik could answer, a sharp whistling sound like a buzzing sound suddenly reached their ears. This was a sound that all the Huns were very familiar with - dense arrows flying at extremely fast speeds. The sound of flying through the sky!
Hailik's expression suddenly changed, but he had no time to issue any orders. The next moment, the forward troops fell down in pieces like wheat being harvested, and both men and horses were shot into a sieve by the dense arrows.
Hundreds of meters away, a petite figure flashed out of the darkness riding a horse. This turned out to be a very beautiful and cute little girl. It was really weird to appear in such darkness.
"Great Wall Legion, attack!"
The girl¡¯s clear and beautiful big eyes flashed with excitement, and she started to drink loudly while waving a big sword that was longer than her body. (To be continued)
