Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Chapter 540 Why were we attacked by fire first?

The general stationed at Guzang Pass received a letter from the soldiers on the city wall.

The letter was written on a piece of cloth with charcoal. According to the soldiers, it was sent in by someone shooting an arrow from outside the pass.

Xiao Qi was shocked after reading the contents of the letter, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, ask the captain of the Water Dragon Team to come to the tower to see me!"

Xiao Qi walked up to the tower with a shawl on his shoulders and looked at the trees on Wushao Ridge outside the pass, feeling frightened.

Most of the leaves in the vast red maple forest have fallen off, but the dry leaves are piled up on the hillside. If someone sets fire, the entire Wushao Ridge will inevitably turn into a sea of ​​flames.

Guzang Pass is nestled among such mountains, so it is almost inevitable that it will be affected by the fire.

When the captain of the Water Dragon Team arrived, Xiao Qi asked him if there was any way to stop the fire attack.

The captain of the Water Dragon Team has been dealing with various fires all year round. After understanding what was going on, he immediately put forward various preventive measures.

Xiao Qi sent people to prepare intensively, hoping to clear an isolation zone between the woods and the Guzangguan city wall before the Xirong people attacked.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Uighur slaves slept around several bonfires as usual.

The soldiers on night patrol were also tired, and the frequency of patrols began to decrease.

Lu Yu and Phantom first pretended to be up at night, and Mao arrived at the center of the camp and silently killed the two soldiers who were on guard on the wooden tower built in the center.

The deceased was also placed as if he was dozing off against a pillar.

After seeing Lu Yu and Phantom succeed, Qing Zhuang among the slaves immediately stood up to join them and hid in the shadows to ambush the patrol.

Uncle Jacob took the women and children and began to carry the mutton oil.

This area was where slaves lived. Each patrol team only had about twenty people. Lu Yu led Qingzhuang, who had about a hundred people, and they were quickly eliminated.

The women and children looked at the sheep in the sheepfold with some reluctance and asked Uncle Jacob: "Are we really going to set fire to them?"

There are more than 20,000 sheep in their sheepfold.

Herdsmen love sheep by nature, and it is really hard to do things like setting fire to sheep.

Uncle Jacob thought of Lu Yu's plan, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Only by setting fire to the sheep can we buy time to escape. If we don't burn the sheep, we will die.

Each person takes one to eat on the road, and burns the rest. "

The mutton oil refined in the past few days has been sprinkled in the sheep pen. Some people also went to bring dry firewood.

Lu Yu commanded another group of people, sneaked into the racecourse, killed the soldiers guarding the racecourse, and drove the horses out.

Phantom took the people to the place where the feed and dried meat were piled, and also sprinkled them with suet.

At almost the same time, fires started in several places at the same time.

Lu Yu and Phantom immediately called on everyone to mount their horses and rushed out of the camp with the weapons they had just captured.

Not only the slaves in their place, Uncle Jacob also contacted the Uighur slaves in several other places.

Who would want to die when there is a chance to live?

Although the slaves in other places did not cooperate as closely as Lu Yu and others, when they saw the fire, many slaves rushed into the horse pen and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape together.

The entire rear supply camp was in chaos.

Many Uighur slaves died under the sword of the Xirong patrol.

Lu Yu and others released a total of nearly 20,000 war horses, followed by a sea of ​​fire. The horses were afraid of fire, and they all followed the lead horse ridden by Lu Yu and others and ran towards the outside of the military camp.

The impact of the horses alone was not something that the soldiers guarding the perimeter could withstand.

Lu Yu led the Uighur slaves and rushed out of the military camp, running towards Yinshan Mountain.

Ulihan, the second son of King Youxian, was the commander of the rear camp. He was awakened from his sleep, and his bodyguard ran in to report: "Second prince, it's bad, those Uighur slaves have rebelled!"

Wulihan did not feel too nervous and muttered: "Just kill him, why are you so anxious? Where is Nan Fan Qi? Isn't his person on duty tonight?"

It's no wonder that Wulihan is not nervous. Uighur slave rebellions are indeed common in the Xirong military camp.

It's just that in the past they were small-scale rebellions.

The night watch team alone can capture people and form formations on the spot.

"Second Prince, it's different. This time, they all rebelled. They also burned the sheepfold and took away the horses!"

Only then did Wulihan jump out of bed and rush out of the tent, his eyes filled with fiery red light.

"Fire attack? Big brother wanted to attack Wushaoling with fire, why were we attacked by fire first?"

Wulihan cursed and asked his bodyguard to lead the horse.

The guard said in embarrassment: "Second Prince, your silver dragon has been ridden away by those Uighur slaves."

Wulihan jumped in anger.

His silver dragon is the best horse second only to his father's dragon colt. How dare those damn Uighur slaves?

When not in battle, the horses were kept in horse pens, and the Uighur slaves were usually responsible for feeding them, including the second prince's silver dragon.

The Uighur slaves rebelled and took away the horses from several stables.

This made Ulihan want to send troops to chase, but there were no horses.

He had no choice but to report to the Chinese army and the front army and ask for assistance.

At the same time, the rear army was still in charge of a large amount of supplies for the entire army. Wulihan ordered the entire army to quickly rescue supplies and sheep.

After such a delay, by the time the Xirong people began to send out large troops to pursue Lu Yu and the Uighurs, Lu Yu had already run out for almost half an hour.

Lu Yu, who was riding a silver dragon, had already led the horses for more than sixty miles.

Looking at the crowd of horses behind him, he suddenly felt reluctant to give them to the Beihu people.

As long as they run to Yinshan and the Beihu people discover the horses, no matter whether the Beihu people are willing to take them in or not, the horses will definitely not be saved.

But if they run towards Yangguan and Yumenguan, they may encounter Xirong's army head-on.

While he was running away, he was thinking. The phantom caught up and reported: "The Xirong people have been chased out. Your Majesty, there are so many of us, and the target is a bit big. Do you want to spread out and run?"

Lu Yu turned around and roughly counted the number of people. He estimated that there were more than 2,000 Uighur slaves who had followed him.

Some Uighur slaves in other camps may have run in different directions, or may have been captured by Xirong.

The Uighurs were originally herders on the grasslands. They were naturally good at riding, and even children as young as a few years old could ride steadily on their horses.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Once they are separated, they will die and will be captured. Why not take them with us and work together as a team, maybe we can still fight."

Lu Yu wanted to lead King Youxian's pursuers into the territory of the Beihu people first. If he could attract the Beihu people to fight with King Youxian's army, it would not only relieve the pressure on his king, but he would also be able to fish in troubled waters and lead them. Following these Uighurs, they wandered through the grasslands to find a way back home.

Uncle Jacob is familiar with the grassland terrain and has been to the Northern Wilderness Prairie many times before.

With this living map, Lu Yu led his team and ran for a day and night, and saw the Beihu tribe from a distance.

Wulihan, who was in hot pursuit, led 10,000 Xirong cavalry, and was extremely anxious as he saw that he was getting closer and closer to the core area of ​​​​the Beihu people.

If we pursue him, we will inevitably have conflicts with the Beihu people. If he didn't pursue them, they would have nearly 20,000 war horses. Wulihan couldn't bear this loss and this anger no matter what.
