Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2117 Cannibalism

Under the Wolf House Xu Mountain, beside the Yuwu River, there is a piece of fertile land.

The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the water and grass are beautiful. Since ancient times, it has been the center of the activities of the Hu tribes in Mobei. "Hanshu˙The Legend of the Huns": "In May, the Dragon City is held". From then on, "Dragon City" has become this place. The name, since the Xiongnu, all the tyrannical tribes that dominate Mobei will worship the sky and pray to the gods here, and form alliances with other tribes.

After the Xiongnu, the Shanyu Court of the Xiongnu in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Rouran Khan Court in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Turkic Yat Tent in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and even if you can travel through history, you can know the Anbei and Hanhai Duhufu, and the late Tang Dynasty. The Uighur Yazhang, the ancient Uighur city of the Five Dynasties, the Khitan's Zub Great Prince's Mansion, and the Jin Dynasty's Woruduo City of the Mongolian Kelei tribe... are all here.

Here is the core of Mobei, the totem of the Hu people.

……

It is said to be "Dragon City", but it is not actually a city.

Countless yurts spread from the foot of Langjuxu Mountain along the bullying terrain until the round "altar" surrounded by huge pebbles by the Yuwu River. Within a hundred miles, they are all "Dragon City" .

Langjuxu Mountain blocks the cold air from the north. Countless rivers flow down from the depths of the ridge and flow into the Yuwu Water. The water source is abundant and the climate is warm, making this area always densely populated and livestock thriving. This is the core of the entire Mobei , Every generation of overlords on the grassland will offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, ghosts and gods here, and bless the Hu people with a prosperous population and flocks of cattle and sheep.

Scattered snowflakes danced in the sky, and the sound of roaring horseshoes shattered the peace of Dragon City.

Ye Mang led the remnants of the army and finally took advantage of the blizzard to throw off the pursuit of the Tang army, and protected the tribe all the way to this place.Countless soldiers with low morale rode lame horses and wore shattered armor, rumbled across the already frozen Yuwushui River, and mixed into this stretch of felt tents.

The quiet Dragon City in the snow suddenly became noisy.

The Hu people who lived here walked out of the yurts in astonishment, not only were they very surprised to see the army with all their helmets and armours in disarray.

Could it be that we gathered more than [-] troops and were still defeated by the Tang army?
Someone grabbed the fleeing soldiers and asked what happened. The soldiers naturally added fuel to the story, rendering the Tang army as a big devil who can "swallow clouds and fog with thunder and lightning". When the two armies fought, Xue Yantuo's army took the lead. By chance, he had already invaded the city of Xin Zhao, and seeing the Tang army's defeat, he did not know which god sent down a thunderstorm, and killed all Xue Yantuo's soldiers in the whole city...

Now that the Tang army has broken through the tooth tent, there are only so many soldiers left in the Nuoda Khanate, and it seems that it will disappear like the Turkic Khanate back then.

These words instantly caused panic among all the barbarians in Longcheng!

The Xueyantuo Khanate established by our Tie Le tribes united as one, seems to have been proud of Mobei and dominated the grassland yesterday. How come all the power, violence and courage are gone after a night of sleep, and it will suddenly fall apart?
This is really unacceptable...

The army composed of more than [-] elite young and strong from various tribes was defeated. When the Tang army came after them, how could the soldiers here resist the wolf-like Tang army?
A lot of people were thinking secretly, and when they saw the situation was not good, they ran into Langjuxu Mountain, and they couldn't get out after being beaten...

……

Ye Mang raised his head and looked at the Langjuxu Mountain in the distance, and his heart settled down.

The ground is surrounded by water and mountains, and the terrain is favorable. Once the Tang army attacks, if you can't resist, you can retreat to Langjuxu Mountain. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. The Tang army's cavalry and firearms are all restricted. He commanded the brave Tiele soldiers and inflicted heavy losses on the Tang army.

Arriving at Longcheng, they would basically be invincible, unless the Tang army could outnumber more than [-] troops out of thin air and completely encircle Xue Yantuo's army so that they would have no chance of retreating into Langjuxu Mountain.

Ye Mang breathed a sigh of relief, turned over from the horseback and jumped off, but after running on the horseback for several days, his legs were already numb from exhaustion. into the snow on the ground.

The soldiers next to him rushed forward to help, and after a while, Ye Mang stomped on his numb feet, gradually feeling the flow of blood.

Tizhen's senior official was even more unbearable, the old man's body was almost torn apart by the toss this trip, just arrived here, he fell off the horse's back, the soldiers went up to treat him, saw that his face was like gold paper and his breathing was weak, unexpectedly Already passed out from exhaustion.

"Bring it into the yurt, so that it can be taken care of."

Ye Mang ordered his soldiers to take good care of Ti Zhen's senior official, took a sip of warm mare's milk, his frozen joints gradually moved, and asked, "Is there any news about the two princes, Su Li Shi and Ba Zhuo?"

A general stationed in Longcheng stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Returning to the Great Khan, there is no news from Prince Tulishi yet, but Prince Bazhuo has replied and is leading his troops back from Beihai. Join forces in Longcheng to discuss the plan to expel the Tang army, and it will take less than two days before we arrive."

Ye Mang nodded slowly.

Tuli is insidious and cunning, and will definitely hide aside to preserve his strength, and wait until the victory or defeat is decided here. If there is something to do, then he will come forward to clean up the mess. If there is nothing to do, he must run faster than anyone else .

The violent and brutal Bazhuo is different, this person is like a sharp big knife, no matter when and where, he just slashes and slashes, going straight without leaving any room.

Getting rid of Bazhuo is still very easy, but once Bazhuo dies, Tulishu must be alert, so he flees thousands of miles away, and maybe he will move westward with some Xue Yantuo soldiers.The already weak power will split again.

Therefore, Ye Mang felt that it was not time to get rid of Ba Zhuo, but he had to give Tu Li a chance to let go of his guard and prejudices, unite together, and then capture the two of them in one fell swoop. All the people were brought under their command.

After resting for two days, Yemang ordered all the barbarians to prepare dry food. Once the Tang army came to chase and suppress them, they would quickly retreat to Langjuxu Mountain to avoid their sharp edge.

At dusk that day, a scout came to report that Prince Bazhuo was leading an army...

Ye Mang was full of energy, and led dozens of soldiers, wearing helmets and armour, riding to meet them, and rushed to the bank of Yuwu River, only to see the army of Commander Ba Zhuo.

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the figures on the other side of the Yuwu River were full of military figures, so Yemang was naturally overjoyed!
He rode forward and said loudly, "Where is my brother?"

A rider on the other side broke away from the brigade and rushed towards this side, Ye Mang also went forward, and the two met in the middle of the frozen river.

"My brother is finally here! Brother Yu has been very fortunate to persist for a while. Fortunately, you led the army to help. Together with our brothers, we will definitely be able to expel the Tang army from Mobei and revive Xue Yantuo's prestige!"

Ye Mang was very excited.

The army led by Ba Zhuo in front of him was [-] to [-]. It seemed that they were recruited from various tribes near Beihai.

Ba Zhuo held the reins with one hand, and the horse paced and turned on the ice, but he kept his eyes on Ye Mang, and asked, "Where is Father Khan?"

Ye Mang was taken aback, Zhao Xincheng was defeated and his father Khan was defeated and captured, don't you know?

"Father Khan was exhausted and captured in the battle of Zhao Xincheng, and he was escorted to Chang'an by the Tang army! This is the shame of Xue Yantuo, and we shall pay for it with blood! But there is no need to worry about Father Khan for the time being, and he would not dare to execute Father Khan even if he came to Tang Dynasty. Thus inciting all the tribes of Tie Le to fight against each other."

Ba Zhuo didn't listen to his explanation at all, and suddenly shouted: "Where is Father Khan?"

Ye Mang is a little confused...

Can't you hear or don't understand?

Isn't my blah blah blah just talking?

This bastard is planning to find something wrong today!

If it was in the past, Ye Mang would not be used to Ba Zhuo, and he would have slapped his ears when talking to him like this, but now that the situation is urgent and critical, he must hold on to Ba Zhuo so that he can count all the troops he leads confiscated...

Ye Mang held back his anger and said: "Father Khan has now fallen into the hands of the Tang Army. We are waiting for you and my brothers to drive out the Tang Army and rescue Father Khan!"

"you're lying!"

Ba Zhuo glared at him angrily, pointed his halberd and cursed: "Father Khan, the first hero, how can he fall into the hands of the Tang army and suffer all kinds of torture? It is clear that you murdered Father Khan in the chaos of the army in order to usurp Khan's position, and then blamed him To Tang Jun! Killing your father and usurping the throne is a wolf-hearted dog. Today, I will replace the gods of heaven and earth and kill you, a beast, to avenge my father Khan!"

As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out a long dagger, clamped his legs into the horse's belly, and rushed towards Ye Mang to kill him.

Ye Mang was caught off guard, until the long dagger was in front of him, he dodged in a hurry, but it was too late, he was stabbed in the ribs fiercely, blood flowed profusely immediately, making him fly out of his wits.
