Iron Powder and Spellcaster

The west wind swept across the earth with hot poisonous smoke, and terrifying explosions were heard one after another.

The raging fire spread from the river bank inland, the flames roared and burned away the dead leaves, shrubs and cypresses, and finally gathered into a sea of ​​flames floating on the canopy of the trees.

No matter what the Teltun people had planned, they did not choose to break out immediately when they were besieged.

Winters also did not rush to launch a general attack, and the battlefield fell into an uncomfortable silence.

What broke the silence was a fire, a fire coming from the water - Samkin's fleet landed under the cover of darkness, set fire to their horses and entered the forest, igniting several coastal woodlands in one fell swoop.

During the process of clearing the country, most of the trees along the coast were burned, leaving only the woodland at the intersection of the two rivers, just to wait for the miraculous effect of the general attack.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. The scattered fire fields quickly connected into a line, and the ten-mile river bank was reflected blood red by the fire.

Taichi's camp was in chaos. The fire hadn't even reached here, but the strong wind had already sent a scorching heat wave.

The frightened and crazy birds and beasts fled in groups, even rushing into the crowd regardless.

A slave near the woodland heard the sound of hooves behind him, and before he could see what it was, he was knocked down by a full-grown stag.

The stag broke its neck and died on the spot; the unarmored slave was also penetrated by twelve forked antlers, and soon lost his breath as the blood gurgled out.

But at this juncture, no one cared about the life or death of a stag and a slave.

The Terdun people in the camp were cursing, shouting, and running around, trying to save their belongings and lives.

"Saddle up! Saddle up quickly!"

"Bring everything with you!"

"Get away!"

"Can't wait any longer! Catch the horse! Catch the horse!"

The people were panicked, and the horses were even more restless. Horses' senses are much sharper than humans, and they can smell the strange smell in the wind early.

A war horse threw off its rider without warning, kicking and kicking wildly, while the Terton people around them rolled and crawled to dodge.

"Lash it! Catch it!"

"Ah! This beast!"

"Get out of the way!" Another Terton man shouted in the chaos: "The horse is frightened!"

Another frightened war horse rushed over, and slaves who couldn't avoid it were hit hard and flew out with blood vomiting from the mouth.

The frightened horse also received a great recoil force, and it roared and raised its front hooves high.

At this moment, two nooses were put on the frightened horse to stop it.

A strong man with gray hair and a round waist rushed forward, wrapped his hands around the frightened horse's neck, and tucked it under his armpits.

The strong man used all his strength to lower the frightened horse's head while pushing the frightened horse from the side.

The joint structure causes the horse to have vertical strength but no horizontal strength, so the wrestling between man and beast lasts only a few breaths.

With a thunderous roar, the frightened horse was "thrown" down by the strong man from Terdun.

The frightened horse screamed and fell to the ground, kicking and kicking.

The strong man pressed the frightened horse's neck tightly, neither letting the horse get up nor giving it a chance to bite.

The rest of the Terton people swarmed forward and tied the four legs of the frightened horse with all their hands and feet to control the crazy beast.

When everyone saw who the strong man was who had mastered the art of riding a horse, they couldn't help but cheer loudly. It was none other than Taichi.

Taichi put his hands on the ground and struggled to support his heavy body, as if he was saying silently: "What is this? I was not much more powerful than this when I was young."

Tai Chi's bodyguard - the one who had just thrown the rope and hit the horse - ran over to help him and said in a rough voice: "That Yan's power is still the same as before."

Taichi spat viciously: "If you don't want to grow hair, we'll tell you later. Have the people sent to find other leaders come back?"

The guard shook his head.

"Father! The towers - they refuse to join together!" Taichi's son shouted and rushed over: "Let's go quickly! Father!"

Although the Terdun people's camp is located on a higher ground, it is difficult for them to directly observe the fire due to the obstruction of the forest.

But the night sky was already burning red, and the choking smoke was getting thicker and thicker. It was obvious that the fire was approaching rapidly as he spoke.

But Tai Chi's tribe was still running around collecting the scrolls, rescuing property, or gathering their war horses.

"It's too late to join together." Taichi became furious and ordered through gritted teeth: "Bring only bows, arrows, armor, food and drink! Leave everything else behind! Follow me quickly to avoid the fire."

The Terdun people camped in scattered families, and for a while the only people Taichi could control were his direct subordinates.

Taichi's son was stunned for a moment, then rushed into the camp with a roar and beat the tribesmen who were collecting the belongings: "Give them all away!"

…

On a hill behind the third line of defense, Winters and others in the command headquarters were watching the fire.

The fire was better than he expected. It seemed that Samkin's task was completed beautifully.

The sea of ​​​​fire is like a translucent red mist floating on the canopy of the trees. The flames are mixed with smoke and dust and fly into the air, like a veil blowing in the wind.

Thunderous explosions came one after another, mixed with a few screams of the dead being burned alive.

The hellish scene made the civilian clerks in the headquarters look unbearable. Some turned their heads and refused to look, while others covered their ears and did not want to listen.

Winters had experienced several fire attacks, and he knew very well that only a small number of them were burned to death. Most of the dead died from poisonous smoke - they fell down while running and could never stand up again.

His command had just undergone a round of expansion, adding a group of administrative staff who were originally affiliated with Bard.

These clerks who could read, write, and do arithmetic liberated Winters from some mechanical manual labor. At least he no longer had to write every order or memorandum by hand, he only had to dictate it.

It also allows Winters to focus on more critical things.

Bud looked at the burning forest with a worried look on his face and murmured to himself: "We have driven the Teltown people to a dead end, and they are going to fight for their lives."

Winters pursed his lips and said nothing.

According to the original battle plan, the fire would be the signal for a general attack, and we should at least wait until the third and even fourth lines of defense were completely completed before taking action.

At that time, even if the Terdun people want to defeat them to death, Tiefeng County's troops can rely on fortifications and fortresses to block the enemy layer by layer until the latter runs out of energy.

If conditions permit, we should delay as much time as possible with the Tertun people until the latter are exhausted.

But now the cage has not been tightened tightly, but the beast has been alarmed. What awaits the people of Tiefeng County is bound to be a bloody battle, and they may even fall short.

"If my guess is correct." Winters clenched his fists tightly, holding a statue of a shield-bearing goddess in his palm: "The Teltun people's counterattack will not be as strong as previously expected - I hope I was wrong."

"Don't think about wrong or right," Bud told Winters: "This is a risk that needs to be taken in order to avoid greater risks."

Winters's horse lowered its head, snorted, and kept pawing the ground with its front hooves. Maybe it’s because the horse smells the acrid smoke, or maybe it’s because it senses its owner’s agitation.

Liubard was at the command post, while Winters led Charles and Heinrich off the hill and galloped along the front.

In the original battle plan, the third line of defense was not just a "wall".

Walls and trenches are the foundation of all fortifications, on which bastions, arrow towers, and breastworks can be added. With every day of preparation, this line of defense becomes stronger, and Winters becomes more confident.

"Are you ready?" Winters asked himself, he didn't know.

But he could not show this emotion, because the soldiers, militiamen and even women who guarded the valleys, narrow roads, and passes all pinned their hopes on him.

Seeing the arrogant Hed barbarians being besieged in this small place step by step, the people of Tiefeng County gradually developed a kind of fanatical respect for Winters.

And because few people have seen Winters with their own eyes, the object of fanatical worship has shifted to his red flag.

Winters rode along the battle line, men and women cheering excitedly as they saw the red flag passing through the night, as if the sight of the flag meant victory.

There was something harmful about this sentiment - Winters realized this coolly, and he felt something uneasy about it.

But not only could he not suppress this fervor, on the contrary, he had to work hard to maintain it.

Fighting in battle requires not only armor and physical strength, but also courage and will.

If an army firmly believes that it will win, it means that they can withstand greater casualties, endure more pain, and persist for a longer period of time, which means that they can really win.

Winters has never learned how to be a general. Will the old marshal feel the same confusion as him when facing Shan Hu with thousands of troops? he does not know.

When faced with the same fanaticism, did the famous generals who shine in the history books accept it calmly, or even think that they are the chosen ones?

Or will you feel uneasy about this and always remind yourself that "all men are mortal"?

Growing up, Winters' role model was his adoptive father. He looked at the back of Antonio Sertti, groping his way to this point without guidance.

But when he was about to touch his adoptive father's back, he discovered that he knew nothing about his adoptive father's inner world.

Has Antonio never been confused? Or does he just not show it? Unbeknownst to Winters, he never talked about these things with his adoptive father.

He longed for Antonio's guidance, but the two were thousands of miles apart, so he could only imitate Antonio:

Gather your emotions, accept the cheers and salutes silently, return the greetings silently, and reveal nothing.

…

The fire remained burning until daybreak, and at dawn the Tertuns attacked.

The whole front was in emergency for a while, and the messengers asking for help came like hailstones. It seemed that every company and every line of defense was being attacked by the elites of the Terdun tribe.

This is obviously the special skill of the Hurd tribes: feint attack first or simply divide the troops to involve the defender's strength; as soon as the defender's weakness is exposed, the scattered Hurd cavalry will use their mobility to gather together again and attack with all their strength.

This time there were no more Teltons left to work, they had been driven to a dead end;

The people of Tiefeng County also knew that victory or defeat depended on this moment. Everyone in Xiaoshi Town and Niuti Valley was mobilized. Even women and children were carrying earth and rocks on the battlefield, collecting arrows and even handling weapons themselves.

The Tertun people, with soot still hanging in their beards and hair, carried out simple siege ladders, battering rams and large shields - not breaking out rashly did not mean that they were idle.

There were not many siege equipment built in a hurry, and more than half of them were destroyed by fire.

Therefore, most of the Terton people still used the old tactics: fighting on foot with soldiers carrying shields, archers dismounting to cover, while the rest dug soil and filled trenches, demolished walls, and small groups of cavalry sneaked through difficult and dangerous places to make detours.

The main road stationed by the 1st and 12th companies bore the brunt of the attack and were attacked in turn by at least four Terton centurions.

The Hurds may be savage, but they are by no means mere instinctive beasts.

The Teltown people, who had been frustrated in their previous attack on the second line of defense, built a siege ladder specifically to address the weakness of the horse-blocking wall - the low wall.

A dozen Terton soldiers formed a shield formation, working together to carry large shields that could withstand arrows, and slowly approached the trench.

Bows and arrows could not penetrate the wooden shields, and even lead bullets would get stuck in the wood. The horse-blocking wall lacked a bastion structure and it was difficult to shoot sideways. The soldiers guarding the wall had to watch the shield array approach the trench.

After advancing to within five steps of the trench, the sides of the shield formation unfolded, and two teams of Terton soldiers carried the siege ladder and rushed towards the horse wall with shouts.

The other Tertuns used their large shields as cover and fired their bows and arrows at the defenders.

The height of the horse-blocking wall is only two meters, and the siege ladder can be easily set up on the top of the wall, and even the trench can be crossed.

The soldiers defending the horse wall were armed with sharp axes and push rods, and tried their best to cut off and knock down the siege ladder.

The moment the shield array was deployed, Tamas, who was sitting in command with an injured arm and a high fever, shouted an order: "Throw!"

The grenadiers who had been waiting for a long time first lit the powder, then stuffed the other end of the powder into the grenade, and smashed it towards the Teltun people's shields.

In the past, Winters used grenades by "inserting the charge first, twisting them, and then igniting them." Elites who have received extensive training may not cause problems when using them this way.

However, when the grenades were distributed to the militiamen, the tactical move of "inserting the grenades first, twisting them and then igniting them" caused a series of accidents.

Some militiamen even threw unlit grenades out in panic. The Terdun people picked them up and threw them over the heads of the Tiefeng County people.

After a bloody lesson, the grenadier's throwing process was completely changed to "ignite first, then insert the powder and twist."

Hissing grenades flew towards the shield array.

A grenade hit the shield and rolled down into the trench;

A lucky grenade flew into the crowd through the gap in the shield;

More grenades did not fly directly to the shield, but to the unprotected flank of the shield array that had just been deployed.

The Terdun people didn't hesitate at all. They either stepped on it with their feet or chopped it with a knife, twisting and extinguishing the medicine in three strokes.

The Two-Legged Man has powerful firearms - the Telton people already have a clear understanding of this matter.

Especially the "black thunder" that was just thrown over, it exploded like thunder, "every man and horse were shattered." They had suffered countless losses when they attacked the second line of defense.

When the people of Tiefeng County paid their tuition with blood, the people of Teldun also studied at the cost of their lives. Both sides were forced by the war and grew rapidly in the art of killing each other.

Tamas could see clearly that several Telduans were even carrying water bags. When they saw the grenade coming, they immediately poured a bag of water on them, causing the grenade to misfire.

Tamas was so angry that he smashed his thigh and ordered with a roar: "Cut the medicine in half! Listen to my command and throw it again!"

At this moment, the shield array suddenly moved, and the Telton people jumped out of the shield array one after another as if they were running for their lives.

The lucky grenade that flew into the shield formation could not escape the fate of flameout. A black-faced Telton soldier with quick eyes drew out his knife and slashed at the gunpowder twister.

However, the shield array was too crowded, and the tip of the knife was accidentally scratched by someone else's belt.

The black-faced soldier Telton yanked off his knife, but the gunpowder was almost burned out in the blink of an eye, and it was too late.

The black-faced soldier Telton ducked back in horror, shouting: "[Hedian] Black Thunder! Black Thunder!"

As soon as the other Terton soldiers heard this word, they all screamed like dying beasts, shrunk their necks, dropped their shields, and fled away into the distance regardless of the situation.

The black-faced soldier Telton watched desperately as the gunpowder burned into the "Black Thunder". After a moment's delay, the Black Thunder exploded under his gaze.

A large shield was overturned by the air wave, and with the location of the grenade explosion as the center of the circle, there was a mess of blood and flesh within two meters.

The black-faced soldier Terdun had his legs broken by the blast, and several dents appeared on his breastplate. He coughed up blood and couldn't even make a sound. He just groaned intermittently.

Several more "black thunders" were thrown in, and the black-faced soldier Telton thought about the faces of his mother and son and closed his eyes.

Of course, Tamas would not miss this good opportunity. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Fire! Release the arrow! Hit me hard!"

More grenades, lead bullets, and arrows flew into the shield array through the gaps, stirring up pieces of flesh and blood.

The Teltuns' first attack was repulsed, and then their commander sent out another centurion with more large shields and siege ladders to launch a second attack.

After yet another stout repulse, the Telltowners replaced themselves with a third centurion, and then a fourth.

During the fifth attack, the Tertons put all their troops on the line.

In the previous four attacks, they had already climbed over the horse wall and turned the battle into a hand-to-hand fight.

In the end, Tamas opened the secret door, led the cavalry to rush out of the horse wall, swept from the flanks and intercepted the enemies outside the wall, and then drove back the Teltuns.

Facing the fifth attack, Tamas was ready to retreat to the next line of defense.

However the Tertuns retreated.

At the same time, three kilometers north of Tamas Fortress, there was another valley passable by the army.

Taichi's son, whose armor was covered in blood, was directing his troops to demolish the horse wall.

The Tertun people advanced three times and retreated three times. Before the fourth attack, the Platuan people who were defending here gave up their position and retreated along the valley.

Tai Chi is getting older and fatter, and is no longer able to fight.

He inspected the corpses of the Palatuan people on the position one by one, and did not find any corpse with fatal injuries on the back.

"[Hede language] What a hard bone." Taichi called his son and sighed with half admiration and half solemnity: "[Hede language] What a hard bone."

"[Herd] My nak'er has been broken into two pieces." Taichi's son spat out a mouthful of blood: "[Herd] What a bastard pig! All my children will be wiped out! I see. He had this intention from the beginning!"

"[Hedian] Shut up!" Tai Chi scolded: "[Hedian] He is your Khan, or your uncle and brother, you must take care of him."

After a bloody battle, Taichi's son became more and more angry: "[Hedian] What kind of Khan King who doesn't eat pigs and dogs! You are my grandfather's youngest son. According to the rules, you should inherit the throne!"

Taichi immediately raised his riding crop and gave his son a hard blow. But looking at his only son's face covered in gunpowder smoke and blood, he couldn't take action anymore.

"[Hede] Don't mention this matter again, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!" Tai Chi scolded him with a cold face.

First find the wooden stakes, and then use several horses to tie them down and drag them down.

When the wooden pile fell, all the baskets and soil fixed to the wooden pile also fell.

Using this method, Taichi's tribe demolished a large section of the horse-blocking wall, making the valley once again able to accommodate large troops.

At the same time, the Terdun troops who were attacking other positions also came to gather.

In this desperate breakout, Terdun's troops did not make any feint attacks, they all focused on main attacks, concentrating their forces wherever they penetrated.

And now they had nothing but their horses, their weapons, and the food and drink they had brought with them.

This is when the Hedians are at their strongest, because at this moment they are not hindered by any wealth and are focused on survival.

After all the Kota had arrived, Taichi no longer waited for the last few people and led a group of Telton troops forward.

Breaking out of this blockade, the Terdun cavalry will be able to gallop freely on the land of Zhongtiefeng County, unstoppable and irresistible.

But the further they moved forward, the more uneasy Tai Chi felt.

The valley was silent, not even the chirping of birds could be heard. The wind was full of chill, and the mountains on both sides became steeper and murderous.

Taichi hurriedly summoned the leader of the forward Qingqi, but before Nakota arrived, a cannon shot sounded from both sides of the hillside.

A red flag was raised at the top of the valley.

Then came the war cry that was so familiar and haunting to the Hed: "Uukhai!!!"

Dozens of blazing fireballs rolled down the hillside, rolling faster and faster, and finally crashed into the Teltun people's queue at a speed that was impossible to dodge.

These "fireballs" are spherical cages made of branches and filled with hay, resin and lamp oil. They cannot explode and have limited lethality. However, it can effectively cut off the Telduun forces.

The Terdun tribe marched along the valley, resembling a long snake. The fireball roared down, and the Teldu people were instantly cut into several pieces.

The leader of Telton, who was lagging behind, saw that the situation was not good and turned around without hesitation.

"[Herdese] Rotten meat! The way back has been blocked!" Tai Chi yelled angrily. He waved his whip wildly and shouted orders to the panicked tribesmen: "[Herdese] Go forward! Go forward. Charge! Kill! God is watching you and me!"

"[Hidden] Fire Ox!" A Turdun soldier suddenly shouted in horror: "[Hidden] Fire Ox!"

Tai Chi followed the sound and saw that the second batch rushing down the hillside turned out to be hundreds of mad cows on fire.

The power of the fire bull charging into the battle is no less than that of the war horse, even more ferocious than the war horse, because the mad bull will never stop in front of the spear.

The Telduans had the courage to fight the Plattus to the death, but no one dared to stand in front of the mad bull.

Herds of cattle trampled the ground, the sound of hooves rumbled, and the Teltun people fled in all directions.

Taichi wanted to fight for his life, but he couldn't even find an opponent with whom he could fight.

Winters stared sternly at the tragic situation in the valley, waiting for a fighter jet - if he went in a hurry now, he could easily be accidentally injured by the mad cow.

The military manual says to surround three sides and let go of one side to prevent the enemy from fighting to the death.

Winters chose to use this motto in reverse. In Winters' view, instead of arranging limited troops on the battle line like spreading salt, it is better to proactively give the Teltons a way to go, and then use the terrain to attack the latter head-on. .

Speaking of using fire oxen and fire horses, these were tactics he learned from the Hed people.

Besides the Huds, who else would be willing to treat precious horses and cattle as disposable items?

He didn't use this tactic before because it was too unstable.

The Tertun people once used fire horses to charge into the formation. Facing the large square formation with strict order and equipped with a large number of muskets, the fire horses were of no use.

Frightened animals cannot use common sense to judge. No one knows whether the crazy fire bull will turn around and charge back to the formation at the next moment.

But you don't have to worry about this problem when using the Fire Bull Rush in the terrain of "two mountains sandwiched by a ditch", because the Fire Bull will instinctively rush down the hillside.

And the more the target runs, the more the bull will catch up. The panicked Telton people who are running away are the number one target of the fire bull.

Seeing that the Terton people had been dispersed, Winters nodded, and Ciel took off his bugle knowingly.

The sharp charge song echoed in the valley, the red flag was lowered, and the militiamen waiting on the reverse slope shouted in unison, raised their spears and maces and rushed down the hillside.

The main forces were deployed throughout the defense line. The main force in this ambush was the "young soldiers" and "adult soldiers" in the militia - that is, the most powerful part of the militia.

These militiamen are not good at fighting tough battles and can barely fight in melee battles. They are best at chasing and killing fleeing enemies.

"[Herd language] Head towards the red flag!" Taichi pulled out his scimitar and shouted hoarsely to his guards and soldiers: "[Herd language] Fight with me!"

Until this moment, Taichi still has not given up the idea of ​​​​making a last ditch effort. The opponent's entire army is pressing forward, which means that the opponent's coach's defense is empty.

It is difficult for a war horse to exert momentum on uphill terrain, but four legs are always faster than two.

Killing generals and capturing flags, in Taichi's view, this is his only chance to turn defeat into victory.

The desperate situation of the Tertun people was also aroused. The soldiers tore off their armor and cut off their saddles to reduce the load on their horses.

The nobles, personal guards, Nake'er...all the Telduans who dared to fight gathered together, led by Tai Chi, and went upstream to make a desperate attack on the red flag.

Winters also noticed the strange movements of this small group of Teltun people.

"You go first." Winters drew his saber and turned to Bud.

Bard sighed and also drew his saber.

Taichi hugged the horse's neck tightly to reduce the horse's resistance. The horse was foaming at the air, its knees were shaking, and it tried its best to climb halfway up the mountain.

Taichi suddenly heard his son shouting from behind.

It turned out that the leader who had turned around and fled was waving the horsetail flag desperately. The meaning was very clear: the way back was not cut off.

Without Tai Chi's order, the other Terdun nobles turned their horses and ran away, and their personal guards and companions also fled with their master.

Most of the desperate blood and courage dissipated in an instant, and Tai Chi suddenly understood the viciousness of the other party:

He could clearly see that most of the enemies were "slaves" without helmets, armor, or even swords, and only carried a wooden stick;

If they were surrounded on all sides and the children of Terdun fought tooth and nail, they might actually have a chance to turn defeat into victory;

But once there was a way to escape, the children of Teltown only wanted to escape;

The valley is narrow, how many people can escape? Those who escaped had thrown away their weapons, armor, and even their saddles. How could they fight again even if they escaped?

Taichi wailed three times in pain, pulled the reins fiercely, and ran away with his son.

Winters sheathed his sword. There was no doubt that he would win this battle, but his expression became more and more solemn.

So does Bud.

The more you worry about something, the more it will happen - the "elite sweat tent" of the Terdun tribe has far fewer troops than it should...

…

That night, the Teltown people, who retreated into the blockade in embarrassment, asked for surrender for the second time.

This time he was very sincere: Tai Chi took the other two Qing Lingyu and asked for surrender in person.

They finally met the other team's coach, a cold-blooded man who was much younger than they imagined.

Even so, the three distinguished Teldun nobles still did not dare to look directly at each other - they had been beaten to the point where they had completely lost their courage.

"[Hidden language] The children are separated, and I would like to ask the general for a few days of grace." Taichi licked his lips, groveling, no longer as majestic as before: "[Hidden language] Allow me to take care of the children, and the Terdun tribe is willing to hand over the weapons. Surrender to the general."

Worried that the other party did not have slaves who could understand Hedian, Taichi and the others specially brought an interpreter.

"Do you know who I am?" Winters asked, scanning the three of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

"[Hedian] I don't dare...I don't know it." After listening to the interpreter's translation, Tai Chi replied with a stoop.

"I don't know who you are either." Winters narrowed his eyes coldly: "But I know Monkey Butt Face... huh, that's your chief, the Fire Roaster."

The translator was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. Under the urging of Taichi and others, he faithfully translated the word "monkey butt face" into Khedish.

Taichi raised his head subconsciously, but met the other person's eyes directly.

For a moment, Tai Chi seemed to be seen through from head to toe, with cold hairs all over his body and cold sweat running down his back.

The other Qing Lingyu suddenly realized, his face turned pale, he pointed at Winters in disbelief and screamed: "[Hurd language] you... you are... you are..."

The third Qing Lingyu was at a loss and didn't know what to say.

Until he heard his companion spit out the name "[Hidden] You are Prathubala Bald!!!"

His knees weakened, his vision went dark, and he fell straight back.

"Dealing for time, waiting for the fire-warmers to come and save you?" Winters kicked over the bloody wooden box next to him and asked sternly: "You think I don't know what you are thinking?"

Taichi couldn't understand what the other party said, but he could still feel the thunderous anger contained in the other party's tone, and he shuddered subconsciously.

"Isn't it surprising where the fire-warmer has gone? Come on!" Winters said with a sneer: "Meet your great chief."

Winters kicked the wooden box hard again, and a head that was no longer human-like rolled out.

Rolling out with the head, there was also a cyan horsetail flag that had been entangled with blood and brain matter - the Khan's token.

Qing Lingyu, who recognized Winters, saw the green ponytail flag, his vision went dark, and he collapsed.

Tai Chi plopped down on the ground and held his head.

The head seemed to have been torn apart by a ferocious beast, or exploded from the inside, with its nose and eyes drooping outside, as if it had experienced the most painful torture in the world.

But the green nine-horsetail flag cannot be faked.

Taichi was sad and burst into tears.

Winters looked at the heartbroken Teltown man and the fire-warmer's uncle quietly, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Stop pretending, they really believe it, I don't think you do. Translate, translate for him!" "

The translator was stunned by the series of dramatic changes, and he translated the words tremblingly.

Tai Chi wiped away her tears and stood up slowly.

"The one who roasts the fire will die, or you will die, choose one of the two." Winters held on to his cane, slowly sat down on the camp chair, leaned on the back of the chair, and said calmly: "You are a smart man, you can understand what I say. if."

After hearing what the interpreter said, Taichi thought for a moment and asked: "[Hidden language] If our troops surrender, will Batu spare my troops?"

"I won't kill you, and I won't sell you as slaves." Winters looked directly at Taichi: "If the fire-heater kills me, you can go back to being your old man. Anyway, I will deal with you first, Let’s deal with the fire-warmers again. Time is precious, so give me your answer now.”

"[Hidden] How can I trust that Batu will not break his oath?" Taichi asked seriously.

"There is no way." Winters narrowed his eyes: "But I still have a name, Hestace."

…

Taichi does things without any sloppiness, and so does Winters.

Having negotiated the terms, Winters immediately followed Taichi into the enemy camp alone and swore an alliance with the Telton people.

When Winters made an oath and held a ceremony with Taichi in the presence of more than 2,000 defeated soldiers of the Teldu tribe, the real elites of the Teltun tribe had forcibly crossed the Big Horn River from the Forge Township.

The fire-warmers built a pontoon bridge.

At this moment, Gévaudin didn't have any soldiers.
