The Golden Family, rising from the Western Regions

Chapter 26 Six Hundred Cavalry, Night Raid

"How about it?"

When Li Dashan and the other two arrived, the old man asked in a deep voice.

"Everything is normal!" Li Dashan said, wiping the rain off his face.

Then he began to report on his investigation.

"There are about 3,000 Karluks in Sanhe Fort, and most of them live in tents outside Sanhe Fort."

“A small number of people live in houses in the village.”

There were only about a thousand Han people originally in Sanhebao, so the houses in the village could not accommodate three thousand Karluks.

Only tribal leaders and higher-ranking Karluks were qualified to live in the houses.

Most other Karluk people could only set up tents outside the village.

"The Karluks outside Sanhebao are mainly distributed in the east and north. It's best for us to fight our way through from the east."

"Then attack Sanhe Fort from the north." Li Dashan suggested.

"The Karluks previously broke through Sanhe Fort from the north."

"The walls had collapsed in many places, and the trenches had been filled in. The Qarluk people hadn't had time to repair them, which made it easier for us to attack."

Hearing this, the old man nodded slightly.

Then he exchanged a glance with Zhao Tiezhu, Qin Kaishan and Luo Ping, and all three agreed with this idea.

This determines the battle plan!
"Are there any other abnormalities?" the old man continued to ask.

Obviously, this time it's not just about asking about the deployment of troops.

"No~" Li Dashan shook his head.

"The Karluks didn't notice our night attack attempt, and there were no horse traps dug outside Sanhe Fort."

Although horse traps are a powerful weapon to defend against enemy attacks, nomadic people generally do not dig them. After all, it is easy to break their horses' legs.

Moreover, what Li Dashan meant was not only about traps such as horse pits, but also about telling the old man that no one from the south was found to have entered Sanhe Fort.

This is important!

It's related to the success or failure of this night attack!
Although the old man was unwilling to doubt the people of Sibao, he had to be on guard against these things.

It must be foolproof!
Behind the old man, Li Xiao looked at his serious expression, as if he was using practical actions to teach him how to launch a night attack and fight.

This made him feel very grateful.

"After all, I am still much luckier than Temujin!" Li Xiao said to himself.

Temujin also lost his father at a young age, but he became penniless. All his followers left him, and he lived a poor life with his mother and brother. He almost died at the hands of the enemy several times.

It wasn't until he was in his twenties that Temujin began to rise to prominence.

By the time he regained everything from his father and became the leader of the Qiyan tribe, he was almost thirty years old.

Too much time was wasted in the early stages, otherwise Temujin's achievements might have far exceeded history.

But Li Xiao was very lucky.

The old man is here!
The old man is the mainstay of Hexi Fort and Li Xiao's strongest backing.

As long as the old man is still alive, there will be no chaos in Hexi Fort.

Li Xiao also had time to grow and gradually took over the actual power of Hexi Fort.

At the moment when Li Xiao was lost in thought, the old man already knew the situation in Sanhe Fort. He turned around and said to the people behind him:
"Kill all the Karluks!"

"eye for eye!"

Hearing the old man's cold and low voice, everyone unconsciously tightened their grip on the spears and swords in their hands.

His face gradually became ferocious, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Six hundred cavalrymen quickly approached the direction of Sanhe Fort.

It was already late at night, and because of the thunderstorm, the Qarluk had already fallen asleep.

Moreover, the roar of thunder and lightning also covered up the sound of galloping war horses.

As a result, the four-fort coalition forces were already very close, but had not yet been discovered by the Qarlug people.

"Boom~"

"Bang bang bang bang bang~"

Hearing the increasingly loud roar of the war horses, many Qarlug people who were sleeping in the tents were awakened.

Some people opened their eyes drowsily, full of confusion.

"Why is the God getting more and more angry? Was my prayer just now not pious enough?"

But the experienced Karluk people soon discovered the problem.

The roaring sound did not come from the sky, but from the ground.

"No, this is not the anger of the gods, this is an enemy attack." A Karluk herdsman with scars all over his body and a hideous face suddenly shouted loudly.

More and more herdsmen reacted and shouted in fear.

"The cavalry is coming!"

"Get up quickly~"

"Get on the horse and kill the enemy, stop them~"

These Karluk herdsmen didn't even have time to put on their clothes. They just picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tent.

But then, these Qarlug people were shocked by the scene before them.

Six hundred cavalrymen formed a fan-shaped formation and galloped towards the Qarluk camp east of Sanhe Fort. The sound of their galloping horses was like thunder, shaking the earth slightly, and their speed was getting faster and faster.

Looking from the sky, you can see a spectacular scene, like a dark cloud, rolling up mud and sand, and the iron cavalry rolling forward, madly trying to devour the Qarlug camp.

The Qarluk camp, with tents piled up one after another, had no obstacles for protection and was completely exposed to the cavalry charge of the Four-Fort Allied Forces.

It's like a lone boat in a storm, swaying and about to collapse.

"Kill~"

The old man rushed to the front, holding a spear in his hand, roaring loudly.

The old man in combat mode was nothing like his usual taciturn self. Instead, he looked like a powerful killer. Cold and powerful, charging forward recklessly!

Unlike the old man who is cold and introverted, my grandfather Qin Kaishan is an extrovert.

He is always laughing and joking, as if he can get along with everyone, and on the battlefield, he is also good at boosting morale.

"Boys, the Karluk women are just ahead."

"Go ahead, I'll give you some women to use!"

"Everyone has one~"

"But if anyone acts like a wimp, I'll chop off his balls and turn him into a woman."

Qin Kaishan rode on a warhorse and led the charge. At the same time, he turned back and shouted loudly to the soldiers to boost morale.

“Ooooooooooooo~”

"Rob the girls~"

Those young men who were stepping onto the battlefield for the first time might still be a little nervous, but when they heard Qin Kaishan's words, they burst into laughter.

The fear of fighting and death dissipated a lot in an instant.

There was nothing to be afraid of the Karluk people. If you killed the Karluk men, all their cattle, sheep, war horses and women would be yours.

Moreover, the old man, Qin Kaishan, Luo Ping and even Li Xiao were all charging at the front.

This gave great encouragement to others. Following such a castle lord, what was there to be afraid of even if they died in battle?

Just focus on charging forward!
"Kill the enemy~"

Next to the old man, Li Xiao also held a spear in his hand, and the indifference on his face was gradually replaced by murderous intent.

His eyes were sharp and his whole body was sharp. The only thing he could see in his eyes were the Qarlug people who hurriedly ran out of the tent.

"Kill~"

Li Xiao roared in a low voice.

A Karluk man just emerged from his tent and shouted in terror, his voice like a broken gong: "The enemy is coming! Come out and fight!"

Just as he was about to mount his horse to fight, the expression on his face became one of extreme fear.

Looking in the direction of the roaring war horses, I saw one cavalryman after another in the dark night, like ghosts from hell, holding spears and swords in their hands.

It rushed out from the darkness, with a ferocious face, and rushed towards him, emitting a terrifying murderous aura.

At this moment, it seemed as if these cavalrymen were everywhere, their horses galloping and roaring, shaking the earth.

He had no idea how many enemies he was facing, as if he was trapped in an ambush from all sides.

"Han people, the Han people are coming~"

The Qarlug man screamed in fear and tried to jump on his horse and escape.

But the next second, I felt a sharp pain in my back and a huge force coming from it.

His whole body flew directly into the air.

A bloody spearhead pierced his back and exited his chest.

It’s Li Xiao!

Under the rapid impact of the warhorse, he instantly pierced the body of the Qarluk man with the spear in his hand.

The powerful force even threw the body of the Qarluk man into the air.

"Collapse~"

He fell heavily to the ground, blood flowing into the puddle on the ground. The Qarluk man's eyes were wide open. Although he was not dead for the time being, the pain he felt at this moment was more than death.

Li Xiao rode his horse past as if he was crushing an ant, without even looking at it, and continued to kill the next target.

Just two breaths later, his spear pierced the neck of another Qarluk man.

……

Sanhe Island is just a village surrounded by adobe bricks, which cannot accommodate all the Karluk people.

So at least more than half of the Karluk people set up tents in the open ground outside the village.

These people became the first targets of attack by the Four Forts Allied Forces.

In this darkness, six hundred cavalrymen rushed forward like a torrent of iron and blood.

Like demon knights from hell, they suddenly descended in the dark night. The sharp spears in their hands were like the god of death's scythe, reaping the lives of the Qarlug people again and again.

The Qarlugs were caught off guard and were completely defeated.

The tent was filled with the sounds of a woman's terrified screams and a child's frightened cries.

The men ran out of the tent in a panic, but found that they had no idea how many enemies there were. They couldn't even find their horses or their companions.

The entire camp was in a mess. All the Qarlug people were like headless flies, running around in all directions and could not be organized at all.

"Kill~"

"Kill all the Karluks!"

The murderous roars of the four-fort coalition forces were heard from all directions, and the galloping war horses made all the Qarlug people tremble with fear.

They believed that they were surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry.

A Qarluk man was trying to escape with his family in a panic, but he had just helped his wife onto the horse.

The enemy rushed out from the darkness and arrived in the blink of an eye, just a dozen meters away.

"Ah~"

The man held a spear in his hand and wanted to stab the enemy to death, but the next second he felt dizzy and a sword slashed across his neck.

Blood gushed out and the headless corpse fell heavily to the ground.

"Ahhhhh~"

On the warhorse, the young Karluk woman watched her husband die tragically at the hands of the enemy, her face filled with horror and pain, and she cried and screamed loudly.

Li Xiao simply glanced at the headless corpse on the ground and murmured softly, "The third one!"
