Then, the generals left one by one. Only the military advisor of Hexi said, Zhang Shigui stayed behind.
The two of them discussed for a long time in the commander's tent.
No one knew what they were discussing until that night, when an army carrying many items left the camp and disappeared into the darkness.
Shazhou. The ancient city of Dunhuang.
The weather was getting colder.
Captain Shi Jie was very anxious. The vanguard army had already been delayed in Dunhuang for another two days. If this continued, winter would come.
No!
I can't wait like this anymore!
"Men, inform the generals to come over!" Shi Jie shouted.
"Yes, Lord Tribunus!"
A few moments later, the Turkic commanders arrived.
"Warriors, the Turkic rations are limited. We can't drag this on any longer. They had to march into Guazhou within two days.”Captain Shi Jie said seriously.
The Turkic generals nodded.
This could not be delayed, and if this continued, even more reinforcements might arrive.
However, there seemed to be a huge army in Guazhou ahead. It was like a prehistoric ancient beast that had opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the lives of our scouts.
What should he do?
"Everyone, if you want to understand the enemy's situation, you don't have to rely on scouts.”
A voice suddenly broke the silence.
The moment he said that, everyone was overjoyed and looked over.
See:
A middle-aged man in green who looked like a scholar from the Central Plains stood up.
He was actually from the former Sui Dynasty?
"Sir, may I ask what method is it?"
Shi Jie was overjoyed and quickly ran over to ask shamelessly.
Hearing the Tribunus 'question, the mysterious scholar coldly spat out two words,""Capture him!"
What was that? Capture someone? Capture who?
Everyone was confused.
"We don't need too many Tang soldiers. Just one or two will do.”
"But sir, our scouts have all died when they entered Guazhou. How can we capture the other party's people?" Shi Jie was very puzzled.
" That's right." At this moment, the mysterious scholar smiled." Therefore, we need to send a general tomorrow to disguise as a scout and lead a team into Guazhou."”
"Sir, you mean…"
"Yes, it's exactly what you think, Captain!”
Hearing this, Shi Jie finally laughed out loud.
The haze that had shrouded his heart for several days seemed to dissipate in an instant.
"Alright, let's do that!"
Shi Jie nodded heavily, then turned around and looked at the generals in the camp seriously."Which warrior is willing to enter Guazhou tomorrow?”
As soon as he finished speaking, many generals instantly stood up.
"I'll go!"
"No, I'll go!"
"Stop arguing!" A loud shout suddenly sounded.
As the voice rang out, a burly man over two meters tall stood up.
He was the number one warrior of the Turks, Ashina Li.
Shi Jie was overjoyed to see this person standing up.
"Captain Ashina, are you really willing to disguise yourself as a scout and take the risk to enter Guazhou?”
Ashina Li nodded solemnly.
"Alright, let Ah Shina go! Remember, you must capture one alive.”
"Understood!"
……
Time flew by.
Not long after, the sky was already bright.
A Turkic scout emerged from the ancient city of Dunhuang and quickly headed east.
Guazhou. Changle County.
Zhang the Fifth and his two subordinates were quietly hiding in the grass.
The grass that was several feet deep submerged their bodies, and no one could detect them.
The two subordinates were very confident in this ambush.
After all, a few days ago, they had followed the instructions of the secret order and easily killed seven Turkic scouts, while he had suffered no losses.
The little prime minister was too powerful.
He could calculate everything without leaving the house.
"Silence!"
Zhang the Fifth shouted in a low voice, and the grass once again became deathly silent.
Half a quarter of an hour;
15 minutes;
15 minutes…
At this moment, suddenly!
The sound of horse hooves came from afar.
The sound was getting closer and closer.
Ten steps, five steps, three steps…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three sharp arrows shot out from the grass like lightning towards the Turkic scouts.
The Turkic scout was alarmed by the sound of the air being torn apart, and he hurriedly shifted his body in an attempt to draw his saber.
Unfortunately, it was too late now.
The sharp arrows arrived in a flash, one piercing the Turkic scout while the other two stabbed into the warhorse.
The warhorse crashed to the ground, sending the Turkic scout flying.
At this moment.
The underbrush was suddenly torn apart, and Zhang the Fifth and the other two drew their swords, madly dashing toward the 'unconscious' Turkic scout.
However, at this moment.
At this critical moment, the 'unconscious' Turkic scout suddenly opened his eyes and lightly waved his scimitar, instantly blocking the three swords.
In the next moment, the scimitar swept across.
Zhang the Fifth and the other two only felt a terrifying force coming at them, and they couldn't help but fly back and fall to the ground.
The three of them were shocked.
"No, he's not a scout!"
"He's a Turkic Great General!"
"It's over. We can't kill him!"
Yes, he couldn't.
With such perfect timing and a three-on-one battle, he was actually blocked by the other party.
One could imagine how powerful this person was.
Zhang the Fifth and the other two struggled to their feet, their faces filled with shock.
At this moment, the fake Turkic scout was standing there, smiling savagely at them.
There was even a sharp iron arrow stuck in his left arm.
The arrow pierced deep into the bone.
"Kacha!"
With a soft sound, the fake Turkic scout broke the arrow.
"So Guazhou doesn't have heavy troops, but assassins.”
A fluent Tang language came out of the fake scout's mouth.
Hearing this, Zhang the Fifth and the other two became even more terrified.
"You…you know the language of the Central Plains? You're a Turkic noble general?”
"That's right! I am the number one warrior of the Eastern Turks, Ashina Li. Tang men of sacrifice, surrender. I can spare your lives."
"Dream on!"
Zhang the Fifth roared angrily. He then pushed the two subordinates in front of him."Go, you guys go quickly! Send this news back."
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
"Let's go, let's go. We can't all die here. Think about your wives and children. Let's go, let's go!" Zhang the Fifth shouted again and again.
"Ha!"
"It won't be that easy to leave!" the fake Turkic scout sneered.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the person held a scimitar and walked toward the three of them ferociously.
A heavy killing intent enveloped this place, bringing endless pressure to the three of them.
"Go, go quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang the Fifth held his sword and suddenly rushed out.
The two subordinates were shocked.
"Captain! Captain!"
"Go, go quickly!"
Hearing such a decisive roar, the subordinates were filled with tears and turned around instantly."Let's go! We can't let the captain die in vain!"
The two of them frantically ran towards the east.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
The Turkic general roared and began to run toward the fleeing Tang soldiers.
Unfortunately…
Zhang the Fifth blocked him with his sword.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sharp sword and the scimitar collided. After only three times, the web between Zhang the Fifth's thumb and forefinger that held the sword had already cracked, and blood was flowing out.
"You're courting death!"
The Turkic Great General raised his scimitar and chopped down…
Boom!
The sharp sword was cut off on the spot.
An incomparably terrifying force, as if it was tangible, was transmitted from the iron sword to Zhang the Fifth's body.
With a thud, Zhang the Fifth fell heavily to the ground.
"It's not that easy to escape!"
The Turkic general bellowed at the fleeing Tang soldiers and gave chase.
However, just as he raised his foot, he stopped moving. A pair of calloused hands hugged him tightly.
The name of that hand was Zhang the Fifth.
"You…you're courting death!"
The Turkic Great General raised his scimitar once more and was about to slash down.
