Not long after, dust rose from the south as thousands of cavalry rushed over. Chagatai was at the forefront of the dust.
Chu Chi's gaze was sharp, and he could see the flag of the pursuers from afar. He said in shock,""Father, it's really Wang Han's army!”
At this moment, the pursuers split into several hundred-man teams, trying to outflank Chagatai. Chagatai crouched on the saddle, dodging the arrows and whipping wildly.
Seeing this, Guo Jing spurred his horse down the mountain. The little red horse under him was very excited when it saw that it was charging towards the herd of horses. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Chagatai.
Guo Jing drew his bow and shot three arrows, knocking down the three pursuers at the very front. He then rode his horse and charged into the front of the pursuers. From time to time, he would take out arrows from the quiver on his horse and shoot them. His archery skills were divine. Every arrow he shot could kill a person. Sometimes, he could even kill two pursuers with one arrow.
He dodged all the arrows shot by the pursuers. His little red horse kept running, and he steadily clamped the horse's belly. Like a perpetual motion machine that did not know fatigue, he shot arrow after arrow. In a short while, the four quivers hanging on the little red horse had been shot by Guo Jing, leaving behind the corpses of nearly a hundred people.
Originally, the pursuers were like a tide, and it would not matter even if a hundred people were killed or injured. However, Guo Jing's divine arrows had given the enemy a huge psychological impact. Until he had finished shooting all his arrows, no cavalry dared to come forward, allowing him to beat his horse and return to the earth mountain.
He actually blocked the attack of thousands of cavalrymen by himself.
Under the urging of the enemy generals, they gathered their morale and charged at the earth mountain.
However, at this moment, Tiemuzhen and the others had the advantage of being in a favorable position. They were looking down from above. In addition, Tiemuzhen, Juchi, and Chagatai's archery skills were all accurate. Although they were far from Guo Jing's shooting speed, they still intimidated the pursuers so that they did not dare to get too close.
After another stalemate, Guo Jing stood on the earth mountain and looked into the distance. He saw from all directions, groups of cavalry under Wang Han's command swarming over like dark clouds. Under the yellow flag, a person rode a tall horse. It was Wang Han's son, Sang Kun. Guo Jing turned to look at Tiemuzhen and said,""Great Khan, the enemy's main force has already arrived. Our reinforcements will probably only arrive in another two to three hours.”
"Guo Jing, it's all thanks to you for coming to inform me this time. Otherwise, I would have given my good foster father and good foster brother to death for nothing.”"Where did we get reinforcements?" Tiemuzhen asked after a pause.”
"It's Thor. Knowing that the Great Khan is in danger, he has gone against all odds to send troops to save the Great Khan.”
Tiemuzhen said three words in a row. He was very excited."Among my sons, the brave one is Jochi, the wise one is Chagatai, the kind one is Ogotai, but I lack a responsible one. Thor is actually so responsible.”
Guo Jing smiled in his heart when he heard this,[Your youngest son is indeed responsible. However, the more you trust him, the more beneficial it will be for me to become the Lord of the Prairie. Thor is obedient to his elder brother…]
At this moment, Sangkun rode out of the formation and appeared in the crowd's sight. He shouted,""Tiemuzhen, quickly surrender."
"What did I do to offend Wang Han's godfather that you want to send troops to attack me?" asked Tiemuzhen.”
" The Mongolians have been living separately for generations," Sangkun said." They share cattle, sheep, and livestock. Why do you want to live together with all the other races, against the law left by your ancestors?" My father always said that you're wrong.”
" The Mongol Empire is being bullied by the Great Jin Kingdom," said Tiemuzhen." The Great Jin Kingdom wants us to offer tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, and horses as tribute every year. Is that what we should do?" Everyone is starving to death because of the Great Jin Kingdom. As long as we Mongolians don't fight each other like this, why should we be afraid of the Great Jin Kingdom? My relationship with Wang Han's foster father has always been very good, and there is no enmity between our two families. It was all instigated by the Great Jin Kingdom.”
Hearing this, not only did Tie Muzhen's subordinates feel indignant, but even Sang Kun's soldiers were moved. They all felt that what he said was reasonable.
" The Mongolians are all capable warriors," said Tiemuzhen." Why don't we take the gold and silver treasures of the Jin Kingdom?" Why did they have to pay tribute every year? Some of us Mongolians are diligent in herding sheep and horses, while others are lazy. Why should we work hard to feed the lazy? Why not let the hardworking have more cows and sheep? Why not let Sloth starve to death?"
These words hit the bull's eye of the Mongolian soldiers present. At that time, Mongolia was a clan society, and livestock belonged to the same clan. It was inevitable that the soldiers who fought hard and the hard-working herdsmen would complain and yearn for the private ownership of wealth.
Seeing that Tiemu Zhen was encouraging his men, Sang Kun shouted,""Put down your bow, arrows, swords, and spears and surrender immediately! Otherwise, I'll point my horsewhip at you, and you can forget about living!”
Guo Jing only found it funny. As the heir of a large tribe, Sang Kun was so tactless. Although Tiemu Zhen's instigation could shake the morale of the army, it was impossible for these soldiers to immediately turn against him. Tiemu Zhen's purpose was to buy time. However, Sang Kun was a fool. He not only let Tiemu Zhen say so much nonsense to shake the morale of the army, but also bought time for the arrival of reinforcements.
Guo Jing calculated that after this delay, Thor's reinforcements would only have two hours to arrive.
However, the current situation was not optimistic. Under the simultaneous release of ten thousand arrows, no one except him could survive.
Guo Jing's eyes were solemn as he looked at Sangkun's camp, trying to think of a way to break the situation.
Suddenly, another young man rushed out from Sangkun's camp. He was wearing a silver armor and a large saber in his hand. His horse was also very handsome. He was pacing back and forth on the empty ground at the foot of the mountain, showing off his power.
"Dushi!" Guo Jing laughed coldly in his heart as he came up with a plan.
Since Guo Jing had already made up his mind, he did not hesitate to immediately ride his little red horse down the mountain and rush towards Dushi. This little red horse was originally a ferghana horse. It ran at high speed and was going downhill. It was really like a purple lightning meteor. Tie Muzhen and the others only felt their eyes blur and they lost sight of Guo Jing.
Then, he looked at Sangkun's army and saw Guo Jing rushing out. In just a few breaths, he had rushed to the front of the official. Before he could give the order, only a few arrows were shot out, but they were all knocked away by Guo Jing with the golden saber at his waist.
When Du Shi saw that it was Guo Jing (he recognized it from Guo Jing's sharp eyes), his heart trembled and his movements slowed down by half a beat. The fear in his heart was too deep, and his body could not help but tremble.
He hesitated for a moment, but Guo Jing lifted him up like he was grabbing a chick. Guo Jing's arm strength was unimaginably strong, and it was effortless.
At this moment, Sangkun reacted and gave the order to shoot. However, Guo Jing blocked the arrow with Du Shi, making them cautious. In the end, they returned to the mountain safely.
" Sangkun, why haven't you retreated?" Guo Jing shouted from above." Don't you want to kill Dushi?"”
