Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1075 Big Avalanche

When Baturmu led [-] fine riders into Heifeng Canyon, after turning a corner, he suddenly saw a group of chariots and horses. Looking around, there were a total of [-] carts, and the escorts were only about [-]. It looks like, and it seems that they are not as elite as the Volunteer Army, Baturmu was overjoyed, and shouted: "Boys, someone has brought us food and grass. Go and kill them all, and grab the food and grass."

With a wave of Baturmu's right hand, he rushed up with 3000 cavalry. When Awahanti saw cavalry appearing in front of him, he immediately ordered to be on guard. [-] people surrounded the grain cart, but immediately When he saw a steady stream of cavalry coming, and it turned out not to be the cavalry of the Xiangfu Kingdom, but the cavalry of the Xizhou Uighur Kingdom, his expression changed, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing what to do.It would be fine if he just sent food and grass, but he was absolutely unwilling to let him go to fight the Xizhou Uighurs for the sake of Xiangfu Kingdom.What's more, the cavalry of the Xizhou Uighur Kingdom appeared here in large numbers. Does it mean that the Volunteer Army led by Huang Donglai has suffered a disastrous defeat? These thoughts turned rapidly in his mind. Weapons, crouch down and surrender.

Baturmu also saw clearly that the people who escorted the grain and grass turned out to be the same clan of the Xiangfu Kingdom, and he was a little surprised, but when he thought about the number of troops stationed in the Hexi Corridor of the Xiangfu Kingdom, and the Volunteer Army had clearly come out, the people who escorted the grain and grass It is not a strange thing to recruit the tribes under its jurisdiction.However, these 3000 people were sensible, they surrendered directly without resistance, which saved them a lot of effort. After all, they lost more or less in the fight, and it would be bad if Huang Dongqiu led people to catch up if they lost time.What's more, with these 3000 people continuing to drive the grain truck, it also saved them some manpower.

Thinking of this, Baturmu accepted the surrender of the 3000 people, but seized all the weapons of the 3000 people.He also ordered 2 people to surround the [-] carts of grain and grass used to fill their stomachs from the left and right. After a simple spot check on a few cars, they quickly withdrew to the outside of the Heifeng Canyon, because he suddenly found that if the terrain here was disturbed by people Blocking from both ends is simply a dead end.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and thirty grain trucks with a large capacity suddenly exploded.

There was a loud bang, earth-shattering, and flames rose on the battlefield. The explosion directly killed 3000 people in Awahanti, and killed more than 3000 wolf guards closest to the vehicle, and more than 1000 people of varying degrees The most important thing was that the sound was too loud. All the horses of the Wolf Guard cavalry were frightened and ran around, and the soldiers on the horses were all buzzing in their ears, shaking to and fro, looking frightened, They were all stunned at this moment.

At the same time, at the entrance of Heifeng Valley, the three infantry brigades led by Huang Dongqiu had already joined the three cavalry brigades led by Yelu Hanye, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, they rushed into the Heifeng Valley.

Baturmu was terrified and tried his best to stabilize his horse. After finding that there were cavalry coming from the entrance of Heifeng Canyon in the direction of Shazhou, he shouted at the top of his voice to gather people and fled in the direction of Guazhou. Knowing that at this time, the cavalry under his command is already in chaos, and the combat power is less than one-tenth. Only by escaping from the immediate situation and reorganizing can the combat power be restored.However, at this moment, a cliff protruding from the mountainside covered with thick snow at the exit of Guazhou suddenly exploded. Amidst the loud noise, Baturmu saw that the cliff and the thick snow were falling together It broke directly, fell down and directly blocked the exit.

On the other side, the charging stone wolf originally had an excited killing intent on his face, but he suddenly heard strange voices from the mountains on both sides, and when he turned his head while galloping, his expression changed drastically. Shu first turned the horse's head to the side, dodged the cavalry behind, and then shouted loudly: "Stop, stop quickly."

Fortunately, I just started to charge, and because I turned a corner, the speed of the cavalry has not yet increased, and all the cavalry stopped. At this time, strange sounds began to come from the mountains on both sides, and it was continuous, and then the volunteers had entered the cavalry in the valley. With a pale face, he desperately turned his horse's head and ran out of the valley.

The altitude of Heifeng Mountain is extremely high, and the highest point has been covered with snow all year round, and it has accumulated thick snow in one winter. Two explosions in the valley finally caused the first avalanche in the history of Heifeng Mountain.

Half an hour later, the avalanche stopped, and all [-] wolf guards, including Baturmu, were buried inside, and none of them escaped.Two miles away from the exit of Heifeng Canyon in the direction of Shazhou, Huang Dongqiu, Yelu Hanye, Shi Lang and other [-] soldiers of the Volunteer Army looked palely at the direction of Heifeng Mountain.

It took Huang Dongqiu and the Volunteer Army half a month to not only take back Shazhou, but also wiped out 1 people in Dulamati, and wiped out the [-] cavalry of the famous Uighur Wolf Guards in Xizhou, while the Volunteer Army lost only a thousand people.It has to be said that such a big victory has been extremely rare since the founding of Xiangfu Kingdom.

The news spread to Gaochang City, the capital of the Uighur Kingdom in Xizhou. The Lion King was furious and panicked at the same time. He quickly sent envoys to Shazhou to express his begging for surrender.

The Black Peak Canyon was blocked, and domestic food and grass could not be transported for a while. Huang Dongqiu did not dare to continue the war against the Xizhou Uyghur Kingdom, which still had the main force, so he accepted the latter's begging to surrender, but took the opportunity to open his mouth. After bargaining, he finally got five thousand horses, five thousand cattle, five thousand sheep, and three thousand camels as compensation.

The plan of the year lies in spring. The Western Regions in March are still as cold as winter, but Xiajing, which is thousands of miles away, has already warmed up. The flow of people in the entire Xiajing city is obviously several times higher than that in winter when it is cold. Crowds on the street rubbed shoulders, and people from all over the world poured into Xiajing City and began to collect all kinds of things for spring plowing.Meanwhile, businessmen of all sizes who traveled long distances after a winter’s rest brought their own convoys and began to flock into Xiajing City from all over the country to buy some high-profit reselling products, such as matches and glass cups that only Xiajingcheng had. , mirrors, etc. Although these things are not cheap in Xiajing City, as long as you pay the commercial tax when you leave the city, and transport them to other places, especially Song, Liao, Dali and other countries, the profit will be dozens or even a hundred times. The distance is long, and it takes several months, or even more than half a year, to start a business, and it is extremely risky to travel long distances in this era. It is really common to encounter horse thieves, bandits, and robbers.But as long as it is successful, the profit earned at one time is huge, which is enough to live a good life for several years.

Compared with previous years, since the spring of this year, there have been a lot of shops opened by Tubo people in Xiajing City, most of which sell some leather goods. The Han people have superb craftsmanship.The raw leather produced is soft and comfortable, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a high-quality product. In the Northwest, where winter is cold and people like to wear leather clothes, the supply is in short supply. It turned out to be very good.

In fact, Xiajing City is a multi-ethnic gathering area, and they get along quite harmoniously.Most of the shops of the Tubo people are concentrated in Dongcheng. Dongcheng is almost all immigrants who have moved here in the past two years.

Today, the largest fur shop in Dongcheng was opened by the former Tubo aristocrat Shi Tiangela. Although this guy has already buried half of his body in the ground, but the so-called "old but not dead is a demon", this old guy can be said to be cunning and cunning. Lively.In addition, his grandson Shi Tiangemu is now the brigade commander of the third cavalry brigade under the Qinglong Legion stationed in Minzhou and Xizhou in Xiangfu Kingdom. Most people in Xiangfu Kingdom dare not make things difficult for him just because he is from Tubo. .

On the opposite side of his shop, former ruler of Hehuang Tubo Kingdom, Yingcheng Linbuchi, the number one general Zheri Shimu opened a plateau-style restaurant called Plateau Building, with a majestic three-story facade. The entire restaurant covers an area of ​​several acres, and it is one of the most high-end restaurants in Dongcheng. Because of its unique flavor, the business is very good. Most of the merchants who come and go come to Xiajing, and most of them will come to this plateau Tubo-style restaurant to have a fresh meal.

Authentic Tubo crispy cheesecake, Tubo blood sausage, green naked rice, air-dried beef and mutton, Xiangzhai, steamed stuffed bun with milk dregs, mason, cheese and other Tubo special dishes. The restaurant also performs daily performances of Tubo singing and dancing. In just half a year, this restaurant has become famous in Xiajing City, and its business is very good.

Entering the plateau building, passing through the lobby, and walking into the backyard, the eyes will be brightened. The large trees in the wide courtyard are shaded. Although there is still snow covered, these specially pruned pines and cypresses still stand proudly, which makes people's eyes bright. Plum blossoms are flourishing, and the faint fragrance lingers in the nose. On both sides of the winding path paved with colorful stones, there are tents of various styles in scales. These tents are private rooms with Tubo style. It would cost 15 taels of silver to set up such a tent, including food and drink, singing and dancing, there is no 50 taels of silver, but it is unaffordable.

Compared with Kaifeng and Luoyang in the Song Dynasty, Shangjing and Zhongjing in the Daliao Dynasty, and Jinling in the Wu Kingdom just established by Zhao Pu, Hangzhou in the Wuyue Kingdom still implements a curfew policy, but Xia Jingcheng personally decreed the curfew abolished by Ye Chen two years ago. This policy made Xiajing City a city that never sleeps. Although it was past the time of Hai, the business in Gaoyuan Building was still booming.

"Zheri Shimu, I heard that you married a Han Chinese as your son-in-law. I'm afraid it's all thanks to your son-in-law that your plateau building can have what it is today!" Inside the tent, Ying Chenglin was playing with a value. With a glass of ten taels of silver, he stared at the dancer who was dancing the Tubo dance in the middle of the tent, and said inexplicably.
