Li Wuling, who was at the back of the team, had unknowingly caught up. Looking at the murderous Labri on the city wall, he asked suspiciously, "Big brother Lin, has our whereabouts been seen through?"
Seen through? Lin Wanrong thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "Not to that extent. The surprise attack in disguise was an impromptu decision we made, besides ourselves, no one else knows. No matter how smart the Turks are, they can't predict the enemy's moves. Besides, if we were really seen through, with the character of the Turks, they would have acted long ago, why would they wait until we reached the city walls of Bayanhaote? "
Although what he said was right, but these were all deductions based on common sense. The situation of the battlefield was changing day and night, no one knew what would happen. Lin Wanrong himself was not sure.
As the two of them conversed, Hu Bugui had already opened his mouth, yelling at Labri with a face full of indignation. It was already dusk, Labri could not see his face at all, and coupled with the fact that Hu Bugui's Turkic language was extremely fluent, no one would have thought that this person was the fierce general of China who had killed countless Hu people.
Other than a curse, Lin Wanrong was almost blind to the Turkic language. Seeing Hu Bugui speaking so confidently and indignantly, he could not help but tug at his armor, "Big brother Hu, what are you talking about?"
Hu Bugui said in a low voice, "I told Labri that I am Sheng Dan, a fierce general under the command of the Right Prince Tusozo. I was ordered to escort the war horses to Bayanhaote, and ask him why he blocked my brave soldiers outside the city gates?"
Lin Wanrong nodded, "Big brother Hu, this Labri, could he know Sheng Dan?"
"No." Hu Bugui shook his head with a smile, "In the Turkic Khaganate, the Left Prince Badru and the Right Prince Tusozo belong to the two largest clans, the two of them do not like each other, neither willing to submit to the other, and the battle is very fierce. The generals under them also treat each other coldly, no one looking down on the other. This Labri was one of Badru's valiant generals and had a great reputation on the prairie. This matter was absolutely true. Sheng Dan, on the other hand, wasn't that great. Although he claimed to be a fierce general under Tusozzo's command, based on his behavior, he was only capable of escorting a few hundred men and horses. Yet, he was easily subdued by us. Tusozzo had at least eight thousand such brave generals under his command, if not ten thousand. To put it bluntly, Sheng Dan is just a third-rate character under Tusozzo. In a place like the grasslands where everything depends on strength, do you think Labri would be willing to be acquainted with him? "
So there was such a mystery in the middle. Hu Bugui explained and Lin Wanrong let out a long 'oh', he understood everything. He hadn't expected the supposedly united Hu to have such internal strife. Lin Wanrong shook his head silently and said with a smile, "No wonder. One is the Left Prince, the other is the Right Prince. Isn't it obvious that the two of them are opposing each other? The Turkic Khagan's head must have been flooded with water, sealing one on the left and then the other on the right. It would have been strange if these two brothers didn't fight against each other. Sigh, the Hu's trivial matters are the same as our China's. "
His last sentence made everyone burst into laughter. Only an unrestrained person like General Lin, who had a powerful background, would dare to discuss state affairs so boldly. If it were someone else, they would have been beheaded long ago.
While they were laughing, Labri began to shout loudly again. His voice buzzed across the grasslands and was extremely powerful. Hu Bugui translated, "Labri said that Bayanhaote is an important place for rations and there is no room for any mishaps. Therefore, a curfew has to be implemented at night. The city gates are all closed and no one is allowed to enter. The people from the various tribes who are sending rations and horses must wait until daybreak to verify their identities before they can enter. "
Lin Wanrong spat. Enter the city after daybreak? Then why the hell am I still pretending? I originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, but you want to clarify the situation for me. What am I going to do about it?
"Big brother Hu Bugui, tell him that I have worked day and night to rush over from the imperial court to deliver the war horses to the frontlines. I am following the orders of the Right Prince and the Khagan, this is an important matter for the Turkic Khaganate. Every moment we delay, another brave Turkic warrior will be sacrificed in the Helan Mountain Valley. Labri you old brat is deliberately making things difficult for us. Not only are you hugging a woman and sleeping, you even set up a night curfew, causing our war horses to not be able to arrive. Thousands of fearless Turkic warriors are sleeping in the grasslands. This is an unreasonable disregard for Khan Pijia and the Right Prince, this is a serious blasphemy to our great Turkic warriors. Fuck, I'll say some Turkic vulgarities — — Muni grass! "
General Lin cursed angrily. Hu Bugui's voice was like a great bell, vigorously translating, his voice traveling far. That scoundrel Gao Qiu was quite quick-witted. When he heard Brother Lin curse the Turks, he immediately became spirited and led his thousands of soldiers to slap their horses' butts and wave their sabers. Roarrrr! Roarrrr! Their sorrowful cries made them seem like lone wolves lost on the steppe.
Their roars and curses, the tens of thousands of war horses neighed in unison. The momentum was not weak, but it was in line with the wolfish nature of the Hu people.
On the city wall, Labri's face was as black as ink, viciously muttering a few words. Hu Bugui said, "He said, this is the military rule that the Left Prince made, to ensure the safety of Bayanhaote, no one can violate it."
The Left Prince? I am the King of Hell! Lin Wanrong gave Gao Qiu a look. Gao Qiu understood, and the thousands of soldiers secretly moved. The tens of thousands of war horses gradually became agitated, raising their heads and neighing as they approached the green city wall. The wind on the grasslands blew wildly, the manes of the tens of thousands of horses fluttering in the wind, like waves after waves of wheat. It was a spectacular sight.
"Tell this Labri," Lin Wanrong chuckled. "Don't think that just because you have Badru backing you, I will be afraid of you. If these war horses are frightened, you won't be able to compensate even if you have ten heads. You are obeying the military rule of the Left Prince, but I am holding the decree of the Khan. If you don't let me enter the city with the military rule of the Left Prince, that is not only looking down on Sheng Dan, looking down on the Right Prince, but also looking down on the Turkic Khan. Even if I have to go to court in front of the Khan, I will not be afraid of you. Now I will count to five, if you open the city gates, then so be it. If you don't, then I will turn around and send these ten thousand war horses back to the Imperial Court. I will let the Khan see how Lord Badru and his men treat my Turkic warriors. "
Hu Bugui anxiously and sternly transmitted these words. His voice was so loud that the soldiers on both sides could hear it clearly.
It was already late in the night, the cold wind of the grasslands blew on everyone's heart. The thousands of soldiers of China tightly clenched their fists, waiting for that suffocating moment to come.
It was quiet above and below the city walls, besides the snorts of the war horses, there was not the slightest sound of coughing. In the weak light of the fire, the two sides silently faced each other.
Labri clenched his teeth and did not reply for a long time. Hu Bugui anxiously approached Lin Wanrong and whispered, "General, what do we do? Do we really have to retreat? "
Lin Wanrong grunted, his eyes flashing. "If he really doesn't open the city gates, then if we force our way in, other than paying a huge sacrifice, there is not much meaning. Although Sheng Dan is only a third-class person, but he has brought ten thousand Turkic war horses, it is not a small number. Moreover, he has the Right Prince and Pijia Khan behind him. What kind of shit is this, no matter how tough he is, would he really dare to refuse him? Damn it, there is someone more courageous than me who has not been born yet! Brother Hu, give us the ultimatum! "
"Okay," Hu Bugui resolutely replied, yelling toward the city walls in Turkic language, "Bastard Muni grass! Son of a bitch Labri, how dare you mistreat our Turkic warriors. I will now count to five, if you still do not open the door, I will immediately send these ten thousand war horses back to the imperial court, see how the Great Khan will punish you! Now start counting, one … "Hu Bugui did what he said, roaring fiercely, his rough voice traveling far.
"Two — —"
Lin Wanrong quietly waved his hand, Gao Qiu and Li Wuling led several cavalrymen over, and with a wave of the whip, the horse had already turned around in fright and galloped toward the south, the tens of thousands of war horses following behind, slowly moving.
The third-class person 'Sheng Dan' sent by the Right Prince Tusozo really had this kind of courage, Labri on the city walls was also somewhat surprised, and the Turkic cavalry guarding Bayanhaote had already begun to discuss. This was a good thing that the Right Prince wanted to help the Left Prince, but was actually rejected by the Left Prince's subordinate general, this kind of thing could not be justified.
"Three — —"
As soon as Hu Bugui's voice faded, the thousands of China cavalrymen also turned their horses, waved their horsewhips, and urged the dark cloud-like group of horses to move forward.
The people on the city walls immediately began to move. Ten thousand war horses, such a huge number, who would dare to so easily refuse. Labri's expression also became anxious.
"Four — —" This time, even Hu Bugui also turned around, and with a 'hey', he whipped out his horsewhip, saying angrily, "Labri, we will meet again in the Great Khan's tent!"
Seeing that Labri refused to budge no matter what, Lin Wanrong also could not help but break out in a cold sweat. This person surnamed Labri really was a dead tortoise shell. Hu Bugui's questioning gaze drifted over, and Lin Wanrong clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth. Just as he was about to nod, he heard a loud shout from the top of the city walls, "Sheng Dan wait!"
This voice, like the sound of an immortal, entered everyone's ears, and Hu Bugui was instantly overjoyed.
"Don't worry." Lin Wanrong laughed softly, "Don't forget, we are proud Turkic warriors, how can we so easily change our minds?"
Hu Bugui laughed a few times. He cracked his horsewhip, pretending not to hear Labri's words, and was about to leave.
Seeing that 'Sheng Dan' was really about to leave. Labri finally became anxious, and said in a hurried voice, "Brother Sheng Dan, please wait, this matter can be discussed."
"Discussed what?" Old Hu angrily cracked his whip, yelling, "We are noble Turkic warriors, we never beg for other people's pity. Since Bayanhaote is not our home, we will return to the depths of the grasslands, I believe that the Great Khan will uphold justice for us. Brothers, let's go — — "
"Roar — —" Gao Qiu and Li Wuling screamed at the top of their lungs, and together with the soldiers became 'angry'.
The unreasonable are afraid of the reckless. Looking at the situation of the ten thousand war horses galloping, although Labri was valiant, he still had some scruples, and did not dare to go too far. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. Since Brother Sheng Dan has come from thousands of miles away, sincerely, and also has the Great Khan's decree, Labri will make an exception today. Open the city gates — — "
At Labri's command, the gates of the grassland city of Bayanhaote slowly opened, rumbling incessantly. The city gates were made of iron and stone, incomparably heavy, and when completely opened, it was at least ten feet wide. Looking at the slowly moving doors, the soldiers held their breath, clenched their fists, and quietly waited for that moment to come.
The ecstasy in his heart was hard to suppress, and Hu Bugui's voice began to tremble, "General, what do we do? Do we go in now?! "
"Go in, of course go in! After waiting for so long, isn't it for this moment? Only a fool won't go in. " Seeing the cautious look on Labri's face, Lin Wanrong giggled and said, "Big Brother Hu, get these ten thousand war horses to gallop, the faster the better. It would be best if all of them enter the city at once and step into the city directly. That old boy Labri likes war horses, I'll let him first taste the feeling of being trampled by the hooves of the horses. "
Hu Bugui was also an intelligent person, how could he not understand what he was referring to. He laughed twice, winked and said, "Just as general said, our war horses have been wronged by Labri, they are very easily frightened, I believe that Lord Labri can understand our difficulties."
He turned his horse around, and shouted in Turkic language, "Warriors, thank Lord Labri for his kindness. In order to express our gratitude, please send our best war horses into Bayanhaote. Go — — "
"Roar — —" Ten thousand war horses began to move, the sound of their hooves rumbling, shaking the vast grassland. Thousands of soldiers roared, their long whips cracking, and the endless number of horses, like dark clouds covering the sun, surged toward the open city gates.
These Turkic horses were not completely tamed, and when they became wild, their momentum was astonishing. Tens of thousands of war horses, like surging water, broke through the city gates, and the Turkic cavalry on both sides were scattered, no one dared to attack them.
"In front is Bayanhaote. Brothers, follow me! "Lin Wanrong bellowed, ruthlessly lashing the horse's butt. The four hooves of the horse under him leapt into the air, and Hu Bugui and Gao Qiu followed closely behind. Thousands of fast horses, like arrows leaving the bow, charged straight into the city with unparalleled momentum.
