Chapter 947: Disbelief
When the Turkic Khan received this letter, he was almost furious.
They, the Turkic soldiers, had never been insulted like this.
The problem was that no one saw this battle, and no one got any news about it. All we knew was that Hamd and his 500 cavalrymen suddenly disappeared.
Now that the other party has sent the letter in exchange for ransom, they can only start investigating.
The Turkic Khan Ashina Zanzhi looked at the report from the spy on the desk and found that they had indeed followed the other party's messenger and found the other party's position.
It turned out to be one of the dozens of villages in front of Yanmen Pass.
They were neither the officers and soldiers in Yanmen Pass, nor any force they could imagine, but just a simple village tribe of southerners.
This is simply unimaginable. Could it be that the King of the North Courtyard under the command of the great Khan actually fell into the hands of some ordinary villagers.
Moreover, the other party was so bold that they even sent a letter asking them to pay a ransom.
Khan Ashina Zanzhi was so angry that he couldn't hide his emotions, "Someone come!"
This is the most humiliating thing ever.
The Turks have not yet encountered an opponent who can truly rival them.
"Khan!"
The general under his command, Yelu Qi, appeared immediately.
"I don't believe you can send 5,000 soldiers to rescue Hamd. The villagers in these villages are going to rebel. Bring these villagers back to me. I want to see who is so bold. How dare they do such a thing and ask the Turkic Khan for a ransom?"
Hearing the Khan's calm tone, Yelu Qi knew that his Khan was angry. The calmer the Khan was, the angrier he was inside.
Regarding this incident, not only was the Khan furious, but they were also furious when they heard about it.
Hamd is a man of courage but no strategy. If he takes people out, he might be caught in a trap.
The problem is that if he is caught, it will be a disgrace to the Turkic people.
The dignified King of the North Courtyard was captured by some villagers, and he even dared to ask for ransom.
When this news got out, the Turks were almost completely humiliated.
He turned around and selected 5,000 soldiers and set off immediately, with a very certain location.
They are just a few small villages, and the combined population of those villages is no match for them.
No one took it seriously. Yelu Qi thought that the other party must have used some tricks and set a trap, but they were prepared this time and no one could fall into the trap.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others had received the news half a day ago.
After they captured the other side's King of the North Courtyard and sent the ransom letter, Jiang Xiaoxiaoju had expected this to happen.
It would be wrong for the other party not to attack you if they know your background. Only when you hurt, hit hard and scare them, will they actually pay the ransom.
When the villagers got the news, they were a little frightened at first, after all, there were 5,000 Turks.
When the Turkic troops came to raid the villages, even a few hundred soldiers were enough to make their villages miserable, let alone this time there were so many troops.
Many villagers are already in a state of panic and some even want to flee with their families.
Jiang Xiaoxiao directly gathered the village elders and village heads to hold a meeting to let them see the power of their own 10,000 soldiers.
A simple military exercise was held. Naturally, this kind of military exercise was two armies facing off against 5,000 soldiers against 5,000 soldiers. Just the neat steps and formations of the troops trained by her were shocking enough.
The appearance of this formation is shocking enough, let alone seeing their final killing weapon, the firearms team.
After that powerful bombing, the entire hill was flattened.
The horrifying situation immediately reassured all the villagers. It turned out that their Jiang family army was an extraordinary team, completely different from those ordinary armies. If this kind of thing was taken out, even if another 5,000 Turks came, they would probably not be able to withstand it.
Immediately everyone began to defend against the arrival of the Turks.
Because all the villages are surrounded by solid high concrete walls, all the villages are not scary.
The door is closed.
In front of the high wall, the strong men dug deep trenches and placed many barbs and sharp wood in these trenches.
It was to prevent the Turkic cavalry from crossing.
Normally, when the suspension bridge is lowered, everyone can pass through without hindrance, but when the suspension bridge is raised, it becomes a military obstacle.
Jiang Xiaoxiao did not go into battle personally, as it would be meaningless for her to go into battle.
She doesn't know anything.
She was not prepared to suffer any sacrifices in her troops in this battle.
This matter must have been handed over to Zhang Chengzhi, the leader of the Jiang family army who came to join her. He was the most capable general under Jiang Xuemei's father, and of course the most oppressed soldier.
It is said that the young white-robed general from the vanguard camp actually became a centurion, and a cook centurion at that.
Zhang Chengzhi, who had suffered humiliation, was naturally unwilling to be suppressed like this when he heard that Jiang's army appeared here.
He immediately realized that there must be someone he knew here.
Sure enough, he met Li Yu as soon as he came, and the two had a deep conversation.
He was willing to stay here, and of course it was because he witnessed the complete difference between this group of Jiang's army and their original Jiang's army.
I also witnessed Mr. Jiang's true methods.
So he willingly became one of the generals of Jiang's army.
Li Tieniu, Lin Dawang, Zhang Chengzhi each led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining 1,000 soldiers included a 500-man firearms battalion, which was under the personal command of Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew very well that the killing weapon must be in her hands, otherwise, anyone who took control of the firearms battalion could easily pose a threat to her.
She couldn't let this happen to her. If she died here, who would take care of her children and who would take care of her husband?
She assigned 100 people from the Firearms Battalion to Li Tieniu, who was the most loyal person around her so far.
Knowing her identity, he was tied to her without any regrets.
And no matter what decision she makes, Li Tieniu will be the one who absolutely supports her without any complaints.
In this regard, it would be difficult for her to find someone she trusted more than Li Tieniu.
Li Yu? Zhang Chengzhi?
These two people are loyal, but they are loyal to Jiang Xuemei, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, not her, Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Once her identity is revealed, it will be hard to predict whether she can maintain her loyalty.
Jiang Xiaoxiao is making plans for the future. She will not be afraid if her identity is exposed one day, so she cannot rely wholeheartedly on Li Yu and Zhang Chengzhi.
Li Tieniu brought 1,000 soldiers and horses, followed by Zhang Chengzhi's 1,000 soldiers and horses, and Lin Dawang's 1,000 soldiers and horses.
3,000 soldiers marched directly to the front of the village and set up an ambush there.
Because the village at the forefront of their attack was an open area surrounded by mountains and woodlands, if the Turks wanted to rush into the village, they had to pass through this flat terrain, which was also the best place for them to set up an ambush.
