The speed of both sides was as fast as lightning, but the warhorses of the Right Prince's warriors were far superior to those of the Great Hua Army. As they galloped toward the center of the grassland for thousands of feet, they gradually took the lead.
The Great Khan nodded with a smile as the two groups of people swarmed over. She took out a piece of black cloth from behind her and covered the eyes of the buckskin horse, then used a bamboo bit to cover the horse's mouth. This way, the buckskin horse could not see or eat.
Gao Qiu was puzzled and caught up to Lin Wanrong and Hu Bugui. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Lin, what is Yu Jia doing?!"
"Blindfolding the horse makes it unafraid of fire, and wearing the bit makes it unafraid of food! This girl wants us to be unable to find a way to attack, "Lin Wanrong explained with a smile. Old Gao grunted, admiring Yu Jia's thoughts.
In terms of horses and horsemanship, Tusozzo's team had the upper hand. They galloped all the way, using their horsemanship to the extreme, and arrived in front of Yu Jia dozens of feet ahead of Yue Shi. The Great Khan did not move from his horse, only nodding slightly at Tusozzo to show his approval.
The Right King was clearly prepared. When he arrived in front of Yu Jia, he waved his hand, and the dozens of riders behind him split into two groups. Four of them leaped behind the buckskin horse and waved their whips at the same time. The whips cracked but did not land on the horse. This was a common method used by the Turks to drive horses, but it did not seem to have much effect this time. The buckskin horse's body stiffened, and it slowly tilted its head to the side but refused to move a single step.
The Turks of the steppe were all experts in driving horses. They could not help but exclaim at this scene.
Tusozzo did not panic even though his first move did not work. He waved his hand again and two warriors leaped out from behind him. They carried the grass that the Turks loved to eat and brought it to the buckskin horse. But the horse already had a bit on its mouth. Yu Jia shook the reins slightly and the little horse shook its head with all its might, beating the lush green grass to the side without any reluctance.
The horse did not eat grass and refused to move. This strange scene confused even the Turks, who had dealt with horses all their lives.
Lin Wanrong didn't care about that. Seeing that Tusozzo's cavalry had split into two groups, he nodded excitedly and said, "Brother Gao, Brother Hu, let's change our strategy at the last minute. Let's ignore Tusozzo and focus on attacking his men first. The first wave, hit the horse's rear end! "
Hu Buhui understood at a glance that this was a tactic to break them down one by one. Anyway, Tusozzo could not outrun Yu Jia's pony. He would never run away. It was a good opportunity to take advantage of the time when his troops were scattered to defeat the warriors under him. Once he was alone, they would deal with him in the end.
"Hu —" General Lin let out a few strange whistles and rushed to the front alongside Gao Qiu, the curved saber in his hand flashing with a cold light.
Tusozzo's warriors were swinging their whips at the back and feeding the grass at the front. They were extremely busy. The strong Yue Shi Tribe arrived in the blink of an eye. Dozens of horses rushed toward Yu Jia's horse like a gust of wind. "Be careful!!!" Seeing the Yue Clan's piercingly cold killing intent, Tusozzo suddenly realized the danger. He shouted and urged his horse to save his tribesmen.
Victory was only a matter of moments. How could Lin Wanrong let go of such a good opportunity? He galloped and the dozens of people rushed into the enemy's formation to face the four barbarians behind Yu Jia. If he couldn't even win a group fight like this, he might as well kill himself with a piece of tofu.
"Hey!" Old Gao roared. The curved saber in his hand did not have any tricks. It went straight for the Turk's face. The warriors of Tusozzo tribe were famous for being vicious and stubborn. How could they be afraid of the small Yue Shi? He raised his hand and pressed the curved saber against Gao Qiu's broadsword.
There was a crisp clang and sparks flew. Gao Qiu had godly strength. He pressed the broadsword down and pressed it against the Turk's neck. The barbarian's face and neck were red. The veins on his forehead bulged and beads of sweat rolled down his face. His wrists trembled.
"Ah!" There was a scream of pain and blood. General Lin appeared out of nowhere and took advantage of the situation. He unceremoniously chopped down on the barbarian's head. At the same time, he whispered, "Big Brother Gao, finish this quickly. Don't delay!"
On the other side, Hu Bugui also swung his saber and threw another Turk off his horse.
The blood and screams infuriated Tusozzo. He roared and charged over, waving his curved saber.
Gao Qiu and the other two exchanged glances and locked onto a Turk who was still resisting. The three of them raised their broadswords and used all the strength in their bodies to chop down at the same time. Even Tusozzo would not be able to withstand the force of this attack. The four barbarians behind Yu Jia disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go!" Lin Wanrong bellowed and charged out. There was a gust of wind from the saber behind him. The roaring Tusozzo was a step too late. The dozen or so riders left as quickly as they came. After killing four of Tusozzo's tribesmen, they galloped back the way they came. They did not even look at Yu Jia.
"Roar —" The Turks who supported the Yue clan immediately let out a deafening cheer. Even they did not expect the Yue clan to be so vicious that they could make the Right Prince suffer in silence. Tusozzo only had six or seven people with him. Although he was extremely strong, the Yue clan had the advantage in numbers. This battle would be long!
Tusozzo was infuriated that he had been ambushed by the weak Yue clan in his carelessness. However, as long as the Great Khan had not been taken away, everything was still under control.
According to the rules, the Great Khan and her horse had to be taken away. No violent attacks were allowed. Tusozzo thought for a moment and gave a few instructions to two of his tribesmen. The two found some hay and laid it in a circle with a gap. They surrounded the horse in the middle and then set the hay on fire.
Yu Jia and her horse were surrounded in the middle. If they wanted to get out, there was only one way, and that was through the gap!
"This kid is quite smart. He knows how to use fire!" After running for a while, Gao Qiu and the others slowly stopped and looked at the ring of fire in the distance. Tusozzo also knew that the Yue clan was waiting for the second wave of attack. He had already set up a defensive formation so that they could not attack.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Is he very smart? Not necessarily! Yu Jia's horse was blindfolded. It was not afraid of fire at all. Tusozzo was forcing Crescent Moon to urge her horse forward. However, he had forgotten that Crescent Moon had set a time limit of three hourglasses. She only advanced a few steps each time by lighting a fire to urge her forward. If this continued, she might not reach the end even after three days! But Tusozzo had reminded me that if he could use fire, I could use fire too! Brother Gao, find some wooden sticks and get the brothers to tie the fire sticks together. Wrap some hay around them. We'll need it later! "
Gao Qiu hurriedly accepted the order. In a short while, everyone had tied the fire sticks together!
As he spoke, Yu Jia had already activated the little green pony beneath him. However, the horse did not seem to listen to its master. It circled around for a long time before reluctantly moving a few steps out of the ring of fire. It kept sneezing.
The Right King's people were busy lighting the ring again, but Tusozzo had already realized the problem of time. He circled around Yu Jia's horse for a long time but could not find the problem.
On the other side, Hu Buhui was also puzzled. He muttered, "That's strange. What's wrong with Yu Jia's horse? Why isn't it moving? Look at its physique and expression. Other than the fact that it doesn't want to walk, everything else is normal! "
Old Gao laughed. "It's good that it's not moving. Crescent Moon won't have to marry this Turkic gigolo. Hey, hey, look, Tusozzo is going to use force — damn it. This kid is so shameless! "
Use force?! The Right King of the Turkic Khaganate was using force against the Great Khan?! These words were simply earth-shattering. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly raised their heads to look. It turned out that Tusozzo had circled the horse several times but could not find the problem. In for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound. He grabbed the reins on the horse's nose and pulled it forward.
Yu Jia frowned slightly but did not make a sound. He must have silently agreed with Tusozzo's actions.
Damn it. Isn't this using force? A violation, a terrible violation. I strongly request that the Right King be kicked out!! Lin Wanrong angrily snorted, and the surrounding Turks also shook their heads and laughed heartily. The Right King's actions were indeed beneath his status. However, thinking that he was doing it for the beautiful Khan, it was understandable.
The green horse seemed to be extremely disgusted by the Right King's actions. It leaned back and refused to budge no matter how hard he pulled. Tusozzo's people also came to help. Three or four strong men pulled the reins on the horse's nose. Another two drew a circle behind it and set the fire. Today's sheep-catching competition had become a rare spectacle on the grasslands!
Gao Qiu could not stand it anymore. He jumped up and scolded, "So many men bullying a woman. How f * cking embarrassing!"
Lin Wanrong smiled and shook her head. "I think it's Yujia who's bullying Tu Suzo. Didn't you see? She's been pulling and pulling for so long, but her pony hasn't moved at all!"
As expected, no matter how hard Tusozzo and the rest pulled, the green horse seemed to refuse to budge. It did not move at all. Its nostrils were already slightly bloodshot.
Finally, even the Golden Saber Great Khan could not stand it anymore. He shouted angrily from his horse, "Tusozzo, are you trying to use force?!" The surrounding barbarians also cursed angrily.
"Kill!" Seeing that everyone was ready, Lin Wanrong roared at the right time. The horse's hooves thundered. The Yue tribe was making a comeback!
Tusozzo snorted and let go of the reins. He and the rest of his people waited for the Yue tribe to arrive.
The horse was extremely fast and was about to collide with the Right King in a moment. Tusozzo's eyes flashed with a cruel light. He waved his saber and shouted, "Warriors, destroy the Yue tribe. Charge!"
The two sides were separated by more than sixty meters as they charged at each other. Lin Wanrong's horse did not slow down. He looked at the ring of fire that was close at hand and suddenly growled, "Brothers, light the fire!"
The roughly tied wooden stick in his hand was quickly extended to the fire. The match lit up with a bang, and dozens of torches were lit.
Before Tusozzo realized what they were going to do, the two sides were already very close.
"Throw!" Hu Bugui roared in Turkic and dozens of torches were thrown out as though they had eyes. The two sides were very close and could not dodge at all. Sparks flew in all directions. Tusozzo's people hurriedly knocked the torches away, but the horses beneath them were shocked by the fire. They twisted their bodies, kicked, shook their heads, and neighed. The formation of the barbarians was instantly thrown into chaos. "Don't panic, charge with me!" Tusozzo, who had been through hundreds of battles, pulled on the reins and steadied his restless horse as he shouted.
How could they miss such a crucial moment! Hu Bugui let out a fierce roar. He rushed forward and ruthlessly slashed at his opponent's head. His target was none other than the Right King of the Turkic Turks, Tusozzo!
Tusozzo's name shook the grasslands and his strength was extraordinary. He did not dodge Hu Bugui's blade but raised his saber to meet it. There was a loud clang and sparks flew. Hu Bugui felt his wrist go numb and his scimitar almost flew out of his hand.
The Right King gripped his scimitar tightly and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. The small Yue tribe actually had such a brave warrior!
"Ah!" Tusozzo looked back when he heard a scream behind him. He saw that the other side had taken advantage of the chaos in the formation of his people and surrounded them with their advantage in numbers. The two leaders were extremely despicable. One of them attacked with brute force while the other attacked from the back. Half of the remaining six or seven people had fallen in the blink of an eye.
"Argh!" Tusozzo roared angrily. He raised his scimitar and angrily turned around to save his people. Hu Bugui followed him like a shadow, his scimitar aimed straight at his vitals. He stuck close to him but did not fight him head-on.
He had been tricked! The Right King finally came to his senses. The Yue tribe member had come specifically to hold him back. His strength might be slightly inferior to his, but it was easy for him to hold him back. He was buying time for his companions. By the time he finished him off, his people would have already been devoured.
In his rage, Tusozzo exploded with all his strength. With a grunt, his scimitar moved as fast as lightning. It went straight for Hu Bugui's face. Old Hu dodged, but the Turkic Right King's scimitar did not stop and continued to slash horizontally. A cold light scraped past Hu Bugui's stomach. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Seizing this opportunity, Tusozzo kicked his horse into the saddle. With an angry roar, he turned around and charged toward the group of Yue tribe members.
It was two against one. With the advantage in numbers and a natural fighter like Old Gao, he had thought that it would be easy to deal with them. But Tusozzo's warriors lived up to their reputation. Despite being at a disadvantage, they did not panic at all and each of them did not fear death. This battle had taken a lot of effort, and Hu Bugui had almost fallen into Tusozzo's hands.
"Careful!" Gao Qiu and Lin Wanrong worked together to cut down the last of Tusozzo's warriors. When they turned around, they saw the Turkic Right King's horse flying, his scimitar like lightning, heading straight for the Lin brothers' backs. They were less than ten feet away, and the faint sound of the wind could be heard.
"Damn you!" In this critical moment, with the scimitar about to reach his back, Lin Wanrong had no time to see what was happening behind him. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and the scimitar in his hand shot out, heading straight for Tusozzo's face.
The distance was so close that it was impossible to dodge. Although this scimitar could kill the Yue tribe member, it would also cost him his life. Tusozzo hesitated for a moment, and with a crisp 'clang', Lin Wanrong's flying scimitar was struck away. Gao Qiu took this opportunity to meet the scimitar and stop Tusozzo's attack.
Even though he had narrowly escaped with his life, he did not even have time to feel any lingering fear before he unleashed his true fury. Damn it, what's so great about the Turks? When have I ever been afraid of anyone?!
Seeing that the Right King had raised his scimitar to meet Gao Qiu and that Tusozzo was less than five feet away, Lin Wanrong suddenly leaped from the back of his horse and leaped behind Tusozzo, grabbing him by the neck.
"General, General Lin — —" Hu Bugui was so frightened that he could not even speak straight.
The surrounding Hu people were stunned! No one had expected that the most inconspicuous Yue tribe would have such a strong fighting spirit. Not only did they destroy Tusozzo's warriors, but they had also leaped onto the back of their horses to fight the famous Right King. This last battle was simply too unexpected! The Hu people let out earth-shattering cheers, but this time, they were uniformly cheering for the weak Yue tribe. Even Yueya 'er's eyes flashed with surprise as she nodded slightly.
The Right King of the Turkic Khaganate was shocked to find the Yue Clan so powerful. He parried Gao Qiu's attack with his scimitar, while his left elbow swiftly struck the head of the ambusher behind him!
"You dare to strike me? I'll stab you to death!! "General Lin roared in his heart. His hands moved as fast as lightning, stabbing toward Tusozzo's eyes.
"Ah — —" The Right King's cries of pain resounded throughout the grasslands. He shook his head vigorously, and the horse beneath him raised its head high and neighed, as though it could feel its master's pain. This time, all the Turks were stunned, and so was Yu Jia!
In terms of wrestling ability, Tusozzo was one of the best in the entire Turkic Khaganate, but he had to split his attention today. On one hand, he had to deal with the powerful Gao Qiu, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the ambusher behind him. Furthermore, he had encountered the despicable method of stabbing someone's eyes, which no one on the grasslands had ever used before, so it was no surprise that he was at a disadvantage.
Gao Qiu was secretly delighted. He had fought in ways that no one could have imagined. This was Brother Lin's method!
Tusozzo's eyes were injured, and he lost his vision. His head was ringing, but he was still the Right King of the Turkic Khaganate, and his valiance was not just for show. He pulled on the reins with one hand, and using his adept horse-control skills, he raised the horse's head high and spun it around, hoping to throw the Yue clan member behind him off. At the same time, he swung his elbow backward with all his might. But amidst the intense pain, the force of his elbow lessened, and it struck Lin Wanrong's nose with a gust of wind.
It was wet and salty, and it was obvious that he was bleeding from his nose. The smell of blood was even more ferocious. Taking advantage of Tu Suozzo's pain and confusion, he punched Tu Suozzo's left and right like lightning. Bang! Bang! His punches landed heavily on Tu Suozzo's temples.
The two of them were now wrestling on horseback, tangled together. Gao Qiu aimed his scimitar for a long time, but he was afraid that he would miss and cut Brother Lin.
This was no joke. If it were any other ordinary person, they would have already fainted. The Right King shook his head with all his might, but he could no longer hold the scimitar in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a clang. But he had great strength, and it was not that easy to knock him down. He turned his head, and with a roar, he rammed his head into Lin Wanrong's chest.
There was nowhere to hide. Lin Wanrong raised his fist and hit the bridge of his nose, causing blood to splatter. Tusozzo's face was covered in blood, and his expression was ferocious, but he still rammed into his chest.
Lin Wanrong grunted, and he felt as if dozens of worms were crawling up his heart. His blood was boiling. But compared to Tusozzo, this was not worth mentioning. He raised both fists. Like raindrops, they hit the Right King's temples.
From the moment he was stabbed in the eye to when the Yue clan member climbed onto the horse, Tusozzo had made a mistake and lost everything. If it was a real fight, he was not afraid of anyone. But in a fight to the death, he had brute force, and the other party was despicable. It was hard to say who would win.
Tusozzo's ability to resist could be said to be extremely strong. Although he was muddle-headed and dizzy, he didn't give up on resisting. He grabbed Lin Wanrong's waist tightly and opened his bloody mouth to bite his neck.
"F * ck you!" Lin Wanrong was in for a penny, in for a pound. He rammed his head into Tusozzo's nose, and blood splattered everywhere. Tusozzo saw stars, and his lips and nose were split open, and blood was flowing. Lin Wanrong took the opportunity to punch him in the chin, and all his teeth flew out.
The horse under Tusozzo seemed to be psychic. It sensed the danger its master was in. It suddenly raised its neck and neighed. It raised its legs and was about to throw the Yue clan member down.
Lin Wanrong was extremely clear-headed. He took the opportunity to grab the Right King's body and threw him to the ground. Just as Tusozzo was about to fall from the horse, he suddenly opened his eyes. He roared and spat out a mouthful of blood. He pinched Lin Wanrong's waist with all his might. The two of them fell together.
"Ah!" A terrible scream resounded through the air.
"Brother Lin (General)!" Gao Qiu and Hu Bugui called out at the same time and rushed forward. They saw Lin Wanrong kneeling on the ground, one of his legs heavily striking Tusozzo's crotch. Although they could not see his face, they could sense his sinister and savage smile. The Right King clutched his crotch and rolled on the ground, howling to the heavens.
Too vicious!! Old Gao was dumbfounded. Now, even if the Right King could enter the Turkic palace, he would not be going there to become a Khan, but a eunuch!
As he gazed at the writhing Turkic Right King, Lin Wanrong winked at Hu Bugui and continued to 'tangle' with him. How could Old Hu let go of such a rare opportunity? He galloped forward and slashed his saber down on Tusozzo's leg. Lin Wanrong was the closest, and he could clearly hear the sound of bone breaking.
"Stop!" Yu Jia couldn't sit still any longer. He screamed.
Hu Bugui respectfully turned around and placed a hand on his chest to greet the Great Khan. Yu Jia nodded and said seriously, "Yue clan, you are an amazing tribe!"
Deafening cheers erupted from the grasslands. Tusozzo had been defeated! The weak Yue clan had completed an impossible mission. They had defeated the insufferably arrogant Right King of the Turkic Khaganate. The grasslands worshipped heroes, and there was no doubt that the Yue clan was their hero.
Under such circumstances, Tusozzo no longer had the strength to fight. The Right King's tribesmen dejectedly carried him away. The Right King closed his eyes and endured the excruciating pain as he yelled, "Yue clan, Tusozzo will repay you for today's humiliation twice over! Just you wait! "
"Tusozzo," Yu Jia said in a deep voice, "don't be discouraged, I believe that you will rise again!"
"Yu Jia —" The Right King's eyes were moist as he blurted out the Great Khan's name, but he immediately realized that he was wrong and quickly corrected himself. "Great Khan, believe me, Tusozzo is the best of the grasslands! I won't let you down! "
Yu Jia nodded slightly and sighed. He waved his hand and ordered his tribesmen to carry him away.
The most excited person on the field was none other than the Little Khan. He stood up and said loudly, "Yue clan, you are the bravest tribe of the grasslands. I will not go back on my words, I will reward you with the best Ferghana horse! In addition, I will reward you with fertile pastures so that your tribesmen can prosper and prosper. You will make a great contribution to the Turkic Khaganate! "
"Thank you, Khan!!!" Hu Bugui 'cried tears of gratitude' as he bowed.
Gao Qiu rushed to Lin Wanrong's side and asked anxiously, "Brother Lin, how are you?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled. "I'm fine, just a few nosebleeds. I'll be fine after eating a few hundred thousand-year-old ginsengs! Most importantly, I had a good fight today! Pfft, what grassland warrior, bullsh * t! I've long hated this brat!!! "
Old Gao chuckled. "It's because he covets the crescent moon — we're all men, I can understand!"
Understand my ass! Lin Wanrong smiled and shook his head.
The Right Prince had been defeated, there was only one hourglass left, and the Great Khan and her beloved horse were still motionless. It seemed like there was no chance of snatching the Khan!
"Yue clan, although you are brave on the grasslands, you have wounded our honorable Right Prince, Tusozzo." The Great Khan's gaze turned cold as he suddenly gritted his teeth. "All of you who fought today will have one leg broken as an apology to the Right Prince! In the future, I will reward your tribe with dignity and riches, never to be bullied — "
What?! Old Gao was dumbfounded and hurriedly tightened his grip on his scimitar.
Yu Jia's gaze was cold, and Turkic cavalry had already surged forward.
Lin Wanrong suddenly understood that Yu Jia was playing with her hands. Tusozzo may be heavily injured, but his tribe's influence still existed. To appease them, someone must be sacrificed, and the victorious Yue clan was almost negligible compared to the Right Prince's tribe, so they were naturally the best scapegoats!
Although the Right Prince was defeated, the Yue clan did not win. The true victor was Yu Jia!
All the Chinese soldiers tightened their grip on their scimitars. The situation was so tense that it was difficult to breathe. Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and whispered into Hu Bugui's ear.
Old Hu strode forward on his horse and said proudly, "Reporting to the Great Khan, today's sheep-catching competition is not over yet. In the allotted time, the Yue clan will lead the Great Khan and charge past the finish line!!"
