The man who arrived was Centurion Garen, his face brimming with excitement. "Captain Commander! Here they come! A cavalry! They look to be about five hundred strong, coming towards us from the south, along that salt road!"
"What!"
Timur and Bai Shoujing exclaimed almost at the same time.
Bai Shoujing excitedly propped himself up and said in a shrill voice, "Lord Timur! It's them! It must be the Wuhuan cavalry transporting salt! They thought the storm had passed and are back again! Catch them! We must catch them! They must know the whereabouts of the other Wuhuan people and the details of the salt lake! We can't let them get away!"
There was murderous intent in Timur's eyes. This was a godsend!
Not only can he capture the tongue and force him to reveal information, he can also strike a blow to Zhao Muyun's power, and prove his ability to King Zhelan!
"good!"
Timur made a quick decision, "Zuan!"
"I'm here!"
Zuan, who had just sent Bai Shoujing back, responded immediately.
"You take one hundred men from our headquarters and stay at the Salt Lake! Search carefully and capture all the Wuhuan people you find. At the same time, reinforce the camp, make defensive preparations, and wait for reinforcements!" Timur quickly assigned tasks.
"Yes, sir!" Zuan accepted the order.
"The prey has appeared! Let those Wuhuan people taste the power of our iron hooves! Garen, prepare to ambush this cavalry immediately!"
......
When Timur and his guards arrived at the preset ambush site, a cavalry of about 500 people was slowly approaching at the end of their sight.
This horse team looked like an ordinary caravan, carrying heavy cargo (salt bags), and the team seemed a bit loose.
They were a decoy cavalry led by Kui Shu, consisting of 200 disguised Wuhuan cavalry and 300 Wuhuan people.
Timur crouched behind a rock, his sharp eyes sweeping across the entire cavalry, a cruel smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: "Humph, they're here as expected!"
"grown ups!"
"Surround them as planned! Don't let anyone escape! Catch them alive, I want to question them!" Timur gave the order coldly.
"yes!"
A bloodthirsty light flashed in Garen's eyes, and he waved his hand violently.
The sharp sound of bone whistle broke the tranquility of the grassland!
In an instant, the Tatar cavalry ambushed on the hillsides on both sides were like ghosts emerging from the ground, shouting and shaking the sky, waving their sharp scimitars, and launching a fierce charge towards Kui Shu's cavalry from three sides!
The sound of horse hooves was like rolling thunder, stirring up grass and dirt into the sky, and murderous aura instantly enveloped the grassland!
Uncle Kui’s cavalry seemed to be stunned by the sudden attack, and the team was in chaos in an instant!
The horses neighed, the people screamed, and the bags of salt they were carrying rolled down, scattering white salt grains all over the ground.
"It's the Tartars! Run!"
Uncle Kui shouted in panic, turned his horse around and ran away for his life.
The Wuhuan people around him seemed to be frightened as well. They dropped their salt bags and pack horses, and rode their own war horses, fleeing in panic with Kui Shu. Their formation was completely broken up, and they were only concerned with escaping without even putting up a decent resistance.
"Hahaha! A bunch of stray dogs! Chase them! Chase them and chop them all up!"
Seeing that the enemy was so vulnerable, Garen laughed wildly, rushed to the front on his horse, and chased the fleeing Wuhuan cavalry.
Timur also urged his warhorse and followed closely behind, like a pack of wolves smelling blood, pouncing on the "panicked" prey.
