In the Heavens

"It's on fire!"

"Come on, put out the fire!"

...

Hearing the chaotic shouts in the barracks, seeing that the fire was almost burning, Li Mu turned and left in satisfaction.

People can't always be idle, and the enemy's coach can't be found for a while, so Li Mu developed a hobby.

When you're bored, killing a few people who don't like you, occasionally setting fire to the granary, or lighting a few tents are the spices of life.

It's just that it's hard for the invading Eastern Chagatai Khanate army. Ever since they failed to send troops to block the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, they have not lived a single day of peace.

First, the patrol disappeared, followed by a cold arrow in the middle of the night. Almost every day when I wake up, my companions will die.

If it is found that the colleagues in a certain camp have not woken up, it must be that they overslept and never wake up.

In order to deal with these uninvited guests, the khanate masters accompanying the army were forced to join the guard team. The effect is really good, and the enemy's sneak attack has been seen through many times.

It's a pity that the number of masters is limited, and they can't take care of the entire army. Large tribes have martial arts masters as worshippers, but small and medium tribes will suffer.

Forced to do so, everyone can only assign more people to guard. In an attempt to scare away the attackers with a numerical advantage.

It was indeed frightening. The martial arts masters who came to sneak attack now only dared to shoot a cold arrow from a distance, or sprinkle a hidden weapon, and then turned their heads and disappeared into the night.

If you dare to go out and chase, you will find that there are many traps along the way. As long as the army has chased them out, regardless of whether they have gained anything or not, when they return to the camp, the loss of personnel is usually three digits.

Not only are there night attacks, but the daytime is also not peaceful. The biggest problem is the water source, even if it is a flowing river, there may be problems.

Even if a witch doctor has checked the water source and made sure that it is not poisonous, there may be problems if you drink it in your stomach, and you don't know when it was poisoned.

Fortunately, there are many people and livestock sharing the poison, so the lethality is not too great. The panic it brings is fatal.

Compared with these secret attacks, the real provocation is the sneak attack on the surface. For example: Dazhen Li has always appeared in an upright manner.

After harvesting a wave of human heads and lighting a fire, he floated away under the eyes of everyone.

The flowing elegance seems to be telling the world that he is: waving his sleeves will not take away a cloud.

It's not that no grassland experts stepped forward to stop him, but all those who appeared in front of Li Mu were permanently laid down.

Li Mu was not the only one who carried out similar operations, but other people were not so high-profile, and they had to conduct investigations before taking action, and only acted after they were sure.

It took a lot of effort to put out the fire, and the leading middle-aged officer said with a livid face: "Send someone to inform King Khan that I am incompetent, and let the white-clothed killer run away again!"

After seven or eight days of confrontation, they all figured out Li Mu's rules of action.

Three attacks must be launched every day, one in the morning, one in the middle of the night, one in the evening, usually killing hundreds of people, setting fire to them and then leaving. If someone obstructs, then kill a little more.

In order to keep this arrogant "killer in white clothes" behind, they set up traps more than once, but the final result was: all the people who went to set the traps died, and the "killer in white clothes" was still at large.

It seems to be an office worker who develops a routine of life, comes to check in on time every day, and is never late.

...

With a "bang", Muhammad Khan knocked down his favorite skull wine glass with a wave of his hand.

Even if it was made by defeating the Ottoman Empire and taking the head of the opponent's commander, which symbolizes his greatest achievement, it can't stop Muhammad's anger now.

"waste!"

"It's all a bunch of trash!"

...

"White Clothes Killing God" came three times a day, and Muhammad Khan would lose his temper three times a day. If it goes on like this, maybe Li Mu doesn't need to kill him, and Muhammad may be mad at him to death.

To be on the safe side, Muhammad even put away his resplendent royal tent and replaced it with the tent of an ordinary tribal leader.

Many tribes of the Khanate secretly ridiculed him that the Khan King was as cowardly as a mouse and was not worthy of being the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

The grassland is a place where the strong are believed. If this continues, Muhammad's ruling foundation will be shaken sooner or later.

It's a pity that no matter how angry you are, it won't help. You sent the masters of Wang Tingzhong to hunt down the "White Clothes Killer", but the real master didn't meet, and he was killed by an old guy who didn't know where.

If it wasn't for the fact that the black disaster in the country was too serious and he didn't rush to buy enough loot to go back and shake his position, Muhammad would have led his people away long ago.

The major tribes would rather bear the loss, but also gritted their teeth and moved forward. They were also forced out by natural disasters.

Anyway, they are going to die. It is better to spill blood on the battlefield than to starve to death on the grassland. But what everyone expected was to be shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield, not to be such a wimpy fool.

"Khan, the identity of the killing god in white clothes has been clarified. According to the captives, the person who comes to attack the camp every day is Li Bumu, the leader of the Huashan sect.

This person is proficient in martial arts, he is the only innate master in the world, and he has a very high appeal in the middle-earth martial arts.

The reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty who came to stop us are not just troops, but people from the martial arts world headed by various sects in China. "

After the old man finished speaking, the faces of everyone in the tent became more and more ugly. To be able to occupy a high position, everyone is not an uninformed master.

You can still think of ways to deal with ordinary people in the martial arts world, but it would be too embarrassing for you to meet a congenital master.

Unless super large traps are arranged in special terrain areas to lure them. Otherwise, there would be no one left.

"High Priest, we have no enmity with these martial arts people, why do they make things difficult for us?"

Muhammad asked suspiciously.

According to the thinking mode of the prairie, the invasion of Daming by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has nothing to do with the various factions of the Central Plains martial arts.

Even after their invasion severely damaged Ming Dynasty, the small days of the martial arts factions in the Central Plains will be more nourishing, and there is no need to come out and work hard.

The old man explained patiently: "Khan, this operation of the martial arts factions was organized by the Huashan faction.

Northwest Wulin has always respected Huashan Mountain. It may be our arrival that made the master feel uneasy.

In addition, Li Bumu, the head of the Huashan School, was also the Duke of Zhenbei conferred by Emperor Zhengde. Although we have not officially taken office, theoretically speaking, the land under our feet is the fief of the God of Death in White Clothes.

People in the martial arts have a good face, so...

As for other martial arts forces, according to the captives, they are worried that after we occupy the northwest, we will continue to go south to rebuild Dayuan. "

Relying on incomplete information and conjecture, half of the truth was restored. As for the killing and robbery of heaven and earth, it is nothing to the grassland people at all.

Anyway, they all started wars every now and then, whether it was an external attack or an internal struggle between the tribes.

It seems tragic, but it is actually their way of survival. Fierce infighting not only effectively limits the population, but also singles out the best talent.

Under the cruel environment, the tribal leaders who grew up are all elites. This is the reason why they were able to overcome the counterattack of productivity when confronting farming civilization.

Once the Central Plains Dynasty decayed, it was the time when the grassland people gained the upper hand. It seems that barbarism defeated civilization, but in fact it was the outstanding elite defeating the waste that only knows pleasure.

If it happens that the person in power in Middle-earth is also a ruthless character, then the situation will be reversed. For example: big man.

Even if it declines in the end, but the IQ of those in power is qualified, a group of princes can still achieve "one Han as five Hus".

There is no doubt that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has encountered a ruthless character right now. Although the command system is chaotic and everyone is fighting on their own, they can't hold back the strength of their individual soldiers!

Once the hundred-man cavalry team is separated from the main force, it is almost the fate of the entire army to be wiped out.

Only the cavalry with more than a thousand men has a little bit of self-protection power, but heavy losses are inevitable.

Only when three or five thousand cavalry act together, the raiders will be more restrained, and they will only attack in special terrain areas.

Before Muhammad Khan could speak, the messenger rushed in: "Khan, our food delivery team was robbed by the enemy a hundred miles away, and only two soldiers escaped to report!"

After being frightened and angry, Muhammad glanced at the stunned crowd, and snapped, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and lead the troops to grab the food and grass.

Timur, you personally lead the army to pursue. It is related to the life and death of more than 100,000 soldiers of the Khanate, and there must be no mistakes! "

In recent days, there has been a lot of food and grass burned in the camp. During the march, several attacks were encountered, and the army's grain and grass stocks were running low.

If the enemy cuts off the food road again, it may be too late to lead the army back now.

It's a pity that this day is destined to be an unlucky day for the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Although Timur's speed is very fast, the fire burns even faster.

Before reaching the place, he saw billowing smoke rising from afar. He hurried to the scene, only to see the remains of corpses all over the ground, and the food and grass that had been burned by the raging fire.

The only thing missing are the mules for food and grass, which are now gone. The clearly visible footprints seemed to tell the direction of the enemy's retreat.

It's a pity that Timur didn't have the intention of chasing after him: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and put out the fire!"

While speaking, Timur had dismounted and was about to step forward to fight the fire. Just after taking two steps, an iron arrow was shot out suddenly. Fortunately, Timur was strong and strong, and escaped the catastrophe in a thrilling manner.

The soldiers who followed were not so lucky, and many of them encountered plots.

Or a hidden weapon that flew out suddenly, or a step on a trap aimed at a horse's hoof, and there were bursts of wailing on the field in an instant.

Carefully cleaned up the enemy's traps, in addition to the smell of burnt grain, there is also a faint smell of meat.

The scene in front of him directly made Timur feel desperate. Before the war started, the army of the Khanate had lost troops and generals.

Although there are no specific statistics, based on the tragic situation of each tribe, it can be roughly inferred that the loss of the Khanate army in recent days may not be less than 10,000.

It was even more severe than the loss of the Northwest Seven Guards. According to this situation, it is unknown whether they will be able to launch an attack when they arrive in Lanzhou.

Carefully restraining the corpses of his companions, and carrying the charred food, Timur set foot on the way home in disgrace.
