Chapter 195 Killing the Tatar King with Arrows

Haitang's scream was like an order, and a group of Tatar soldiers came out of the woods with bows and arrows, and surrounded the Chinese soldiers on the river beach.

Ling Shuang was originally closest to Haitang, but she had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as Haitang was imprisoned in the Tatar's arms.The hat the Tatar wore was particularly different from the others. The most eye-catching thing was that there was a large turquoise stone in the front of the hat.What's more, on his right hand holding the dagger, he wore a turquoise ring of the same style.

Ling Shuang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are you the King of Tatar?" When the prince led people to chase the Tatar soldiers, Shuang'er asked the prince:

"Mother, you said that the Tatars all look the same, how can you tell which one is the Tatar king?"

Haitang smiled and said: "Isn't that simple? Just look at who is the fiercest. Whoever has a hat, clothes, or gems on his body, that's the king!"

Xie Ruitang and Ling Yun have also run to Shuang'er.When Xie Ruitang saw Haitang being captured, his heart almost stopped beating.Now, it doesn't matter to him whether to kill the Tartar King or not. He just wants to negotiate terms with this man who looks like the Tartar King and let him let Haitang go first.

"I am the prince of the Celestial Dynasty. No matter who you are, as long as you let go of the people in your hands, our grudges with the Tatars will be wiped out." Xie Ruitang said in a deep voice.

"Haha! The person chasing me is actually the prince? You can let this soldier go if you want. You put down your weapon and come over and follow me back to the Tatar camp. Don't try to play tricks. My people have surrounded you. You follow me. Go, I can still save your life."

The Tatar King's mind was completely attracted to the prince. He thought that if he could kidnap the prince and take him back, he might be able to use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Celestial Empire, and he wouldn't lose too badly.

Before Xie Ruitang's words came out, Haitang was heard crying: "Ouch. Why are you so rude to the girl? Your hand hurts me so much!"

The Tatar King was stunned for a moment when he heard her voice, and his hand relaxed a little. He asked strangely: "Why are you a woman?" Pursuing deep into the enemy's country was already a taboo for military strategists, and there were still some soldiers in the team. Women, let alone the Celestial Empire, even Tatar women who are open-minded and good at riding and shooting will not follow.

The Tartar King was confused for a moment: What's going on?No wonder the prince is in a hurry to save this woman. Could it be that
This is what Haitang wants.At this moment of relaxation, a small paper bag slipped out of Haitang's sleeves. She bent her arms and raised her hands to scatter it back. She closed her eyes and squatted down. The powder in the paper bag flew into the eyes of the Tartar King. , the pain caused him to take two steps back, and Haitang also took the opportunity to get rid of his imprisonment.

"How dare you plot against me!" the Tartar King roared.When the Tatar soldiers next to him saw that the Tatar King had been attacked, they came over with their swords and wanted to kill Haitang and cover the Tatar King's departure.Haitang raised her arm to reveal the sleeve arrow tied to her arm, pointed it directly at the Tartar King, and said loudly: "Not only do I dare to plot against you, I also dare to plot against you openly!"

As soon as the words were spoken, three sleeve arrows flew out in response. Two steps away, something happened suddenly. The Tartar King had no way to hide. The sleeve arrows were powerful enough and penetrated into the Tartar King's heart!

Just as Cheng Haitang broke free from the imprisonment, Xie Ruitang's sword over there was also unsheathed. With one sword, he killed the Tatar soldier closest to Haitang and rushed towards Haitang.

Now everyone was moving, but the Tatars only wanted to escape.Their Tartar King died accidentally, why didn't he run away and stay for breakfast?
The Chinese cavalry didn't want to look for them again at dawn, so they rushed forward and killed them with their swords in hand.However, some Tatar soldiers took advantage of the darkness and fled in all directions.

He Rui came over and confirmed that it was indeed the Tatar King who was shot to death by the Crown Princess.After two days of chasing, he finally became impatient and came to die on his own.Physicians kill people, they will never take your lungs if they want your heart!
He Rui pulled off the dove egg-sized turquoise inlaid with silver from the Tartar King's hat, and pulled off the large ring on his finger. He looked at it carefully, handed it to the prince together, and said with a smile: " The treasure of the King of Tartar, this ring is the seal of the King of Tartar. The prince takes it back and can prove it." Then everyone breathed a real sigh of relief: the hat can be worn randomly, and the seal will definitely not be given to others easily. It is Tatar Wang didn't run away.Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep. Some people packed up the weapons and trophies on the corpses, and some counted the war horses left by the Tatars.

Xie Ruitang didn't care about the people around him, held Haitang's face, looked at her in shock and said: "Don't ever experience such a thrilling moment again, I will almost lose you! From now on, no matter what you do, you can't Stay one step away from me."

Xie Yuanju just came over, smiled and patted Xie Ruitang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, she is your lucky star!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Haitang, only to see that the three sleeve arrows had been washed by the crown prince in the river It was clean and neatly lying in the palm of his hand.

Xie Yuanfang and Haitang looked at each other and smiled, and he said happily: "Princess, save your money!"

Xie Ruitang was angry again: "This Feng Mingze is too stingy. Does he only have three arrows in a set of sleeve arrows?"

Haitang was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "No, no, there are several more. I didn't bring them out myself, so I only have these three. So, I have to pick them back after use."

Less than 900 Tatar soldiers were killed this time. The Tatar King was dead and the stragglers ran away, so there was no need to spend any effort chasing them.By the time they were all sorted, it was almost dawn.

Everyone is filling water bags and getting ready to leave.Suddenly, I heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the other side of the river. A group of Wala people rode horses and waded across the river with a "clatter". "Is this the Crown Prince? I am Prince Irgen!" the leading young man among the Wala people shouted loudly.

The Oara people who had been watching them on the shore just now reported that there was a fight between the Chinese and the Tatars on the opposite side, and they heard someone among the Chinese calling "Prince".Guessing whether the prince of the Celestial Dynasty was among this group of people, Prince Irgen hurried over.

Xie Ruitang was also very happy to see Irgen. He pointed to the woods behind him and said, "The King of Tartars attacked us just now and we killed him." , Sure enough, there is the Tatar king himself.

He clapped his hands happily and said: "The Tatars have been bullying us in the past two years and occupied a large area of ​​our grassland. If you kill the Tatar King, the Tatars will inevitably fight for power. A period of civil strife will naturally weaken their strength and also Not caring about invading foreign tribes, this is a great thing for us, Wala!"

Irgen smiled again and said: "This place is very close to our camp. Since you have arrived at the door of our house, there is no reason not to go in and sit down. Although Wala is not as wealthy as the Celestial Empire, it still has enough kumiss!"

Xie Ruitang thought for a while and agreed.Everyone has no dry food with them. It will take two days to go back. It would be a good idea to go over and take a rest and replenish dry food.

Everyone got on their horses, crossed the river, and followed Irgen, running towards Wala's camp.
