Chapter 214: Shocking the Northern Frontier
Chapter 214: Shocking the Northern Frontier
Su Tang and others came to the outside of the city, and the people from Northern Xinjiang on the city wall soon noticed Su Tang and his group.
The main reason was that Su Tang and the others stopped not far away and continued to look at each other from afar outside the city.
"Send a small team of people out to take a look." The leader of the Northern Frontier people on the city wall gave orders to the people around him.
"Yes."
A team of seven or eight people rode fast horses and quickly rushed out of the city towards Su Tang and his companions.
More than ten meters away, the people from Northern Xinjiang also stopped.
"What are you doing coming to Northern Frontier from Dayong? Why are you stopping here instead of going into the city?" The leader was sitting on a horse, and the horse under him was stamping its feet anxiously.
The man tightened the reins in his hand, trying to make the horse quieter.
The same was true for the others around him; the horses they were riding seemed to be in poor condition today.
"Nalan Zongda has not fulfilled his promise to Dayong yet. We are here today to get an explanation." Qi Feng stepped forward and shouted to the people from Northern Frontier.
"Hahaha, the people of Dayong are so weak. How dare you come to Northern Frontier to negotiate with just a few of you? If you leave the money on you today, we may consider letting you go." The leading Northern Frontier man laughed a few times, pointed at Su Tang and his companions with a horsewhip, and said with disdain.
"I really give you face."
Su Tang looked at the people on horseback and said to Qi Feng and Qi Yan, "Leave these horses behind."
The war horses in the Northern Frontier have always been the most needed military reserve in Dayong. Previously, when Qi Lingheng came to the Northern Frontier to negotiate with Nalan Zongda, the other party also agreed to give Dayong 10,000 healthy war horses. Only then did Dayong release Nalan Jinlu.
Before, the war horses in the northern border were distributed among several tribes, and it was impossible to gather 10,000 horses at once, so Qi Lingheng was only given more than 500 horses. However, after writing a written IOU with the seal of the Nalan tribe, Qi Lingheng let Nalan Jinlu go back.
I didn't expect the other party to go back on their word and hasn't sent the remaining war horses until now.
When the people from Northern Xinjiang heard Su Tang's words, they immediately laughed out loud, "Hahaha, I didn't expect them to send a sissy man here, hahaha..."
Qi Feng and Qi Yan took out their reloaded automatic rifles from behind and pointed them at the people from Northern Xinjiang.
"Hahahaha... this is taking out a wooden stick and wanting to..."
The people from Northern Xinjiang who had met Su Tang on the road before had been killed by Su Tang and his gang, so no one knew what kind of dangerous weapon the guns in Su Tang and his gang's hands were.
To them, the guns looked like unchopped firewood sticks.
After all, the gun in Qi Feng's hand was also pitch black, almost the same color as a fire stick.
"Bang, bang." Two crisp gunshots rang out. Qi Feng and Qi Yan raised their guns to their shoulders and fired two bursts. The two people on the opposite horses fell off their horses instantly.
The war horses of the northern border people on the opposite side were frightened by the gunshots and suddenly raised their front hooves and were about to run away in all directions.
The people in the Northern Frontier haven't figured out what's going on yet. They're trying to control their horses while looking at their companions who suddenly fall to the ground?
"What's going on?! You two, get up quickly." The Northern Frontier man on horseback shouted at the two people lying on the ground.
But soon someone noticed something was wrong, "Blood!! Those two people are dead!"
Blood had already started to ooze out from the two people on the ground, and a round hole appeared on their foreheads.
"Kill them!!" Among the people from Northern Frontier, someone pulled out a long knife from his waist, waved it and ran towards Su Tang and the others.
However, the horses under them were frightened and for a while they just circled in place and did not move forward at all.
"Damn! This horse..."
“Pah, pah…”
Without giving the people in Northern Xinjiang time to react, explosive gunshots rang out again.
After a while, the few people from Northern Frontier who came out were shot and killed by Qi Feng and his men.
Afterwards, Qi Feng and Qi Yan used their Qinggong skills to quickly run towards the frightened horses. After a short while, they subdued the horses that were running around.
Su Tang stepped forward and took the horses back into the space.
All of this was done in a flash. There was no living thing around Su Tang and his companions except for a few corpses of people from southern Xinjiang on the ground.
On the city wall not far away, the general of the Northern Frontier was looking at the changes in the distance. He was so shocked that he forgot to speak. He just stared into the distance with his mouth wide open, motionless.
What did he just see? !
The few people he had just sent out were killed instantly by the enemy, and the horses they rode also disappeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye!
After a long while, the Northern Frontier general on the top of the city finally reacted, "Close the city gate quickly!!!"
After a roar, a soldier immediately went down to deliver the message. Su Tang and a few others stood where they were and watched the city gate in the distance close.
Su Tang and the others were not in a hurry to move forward. The position they were standing in was calculated and was definitely out of reach of the enemy's crossbow arrows.
Seeing the Northern Frontier people retreating, Qi Feng and his men searched the ground for corpses, but this time they did not deal with the corpses. Leaving them behind was just enough to intimidate the Northern Frontier people in the city.
"It's time to shock the northern border." Su Tang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, waved her hand, and dozens of people suddenly appeared in front of her.
These people lined up in an orderly manner. They were divided into three groups, and each group had a howitzer in front of it.
"Get ready to fire at the wall over there."
At Su Tang's command, dozens of people standing in front of her began to operate the howitzers in front of them in an orderly manner.
At this time, the Northern Frontier general on the city wall was once again shocked by the abnormality on Su Tang's side. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people suddenly appeared outside the city.
Most of the land in the northern border is barren, and there is almost no shelter outside the city, so Su Tang's side is flat and there is almost no place to hide her figure.
The sudden appearance of dozens of people was truly incredible to the people of Northern Frontier.
"Why are there so many people over there? Am I dazzled? Did you see it?" The general of Northern Frontier looked straight ahead, but spoke to the soldiers around him.
"I saw it too."
Before those people could understand what was happening, several loud noises were heard, and then several gaps appeared in the city wall where they were.
Several large holes were blown into the originally thick city wall, and the entire city became meaningless.
Through the large holes in the city wall, you can already see the buildings inside the city.
The deafening sound of artillery fire made the ears of the Northern Frontier soldiers who were still on the city walls that had not collapsed ring. They could only see the people around them opening and closing their mouths, but could no longer hear each other's voices.
"This cannon is really powerful." On Su Tang's side, Qi Yan exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the tragic state of the city wall not far away.
"Yes, it was only one shot that caused such a thick city wall to collapse." Qi Feng nodded in response.
Soon the city of Beijiang was in chaos. The soldiers guarding the city no longer had the heart to guard the city, and no one came out to fight Su Tang and his men.
One shot was enough to scare these people in Northern Xinjiang, and no one dared to challenge Su Tang anymore.
The surviving soldiers began to run towards the other side of the city.
The livestock in the city were frightened by the sound of artillery fire and were running around in all directions, unable to be controlled at all.
As the soldiers retreated to the other side, it took a while for the people of Northern Frontier in the city to react.
Someone is attacking the city!!
The people in the city, along with the soldiers, no longer cared about their belongings and ran towards the city gate towards the northern border.
For a time, trampling occurred on many streets in the city, and wailing sounds were heard one after another in the city.
Su Tang and the others could hear the panicked shouts from within the city from a distance.
"What goes around comes around. This time it's the turn of the people in Northern Frontier to feel the suffering of the people in Dayong!" Qi Lingheng felt much better after listening to the sounds in the distance.
The people of Northern Xinjiang would harass the people of Dayong every few years.
Sometimes, when the environment in Northern Xinjiang was bad, the people of Northern Xinjiang would harass the people of Dayong many times within a year.
Every time the people from the northern border invaded Dayong, they would commit robbery, killing, burning, and looting.
Not only did they rob the people of their property, they also killed all the people in the city.
There are almost no people in Dayong on this side of the border who do not hate the people of the northern border.
"What should we do now?" Qi Feng looked at Su Tang.
"Wait." Su Tang looked across, "Wait until they all run away, then we go in and search for the spoils."
The howitzer made quite a noise, and unless the people in the city were fools, they would definitely run away.
Sure enough, after it became quiet over there for a while, Su Tang and his team entered the city from the place that was bombed.
Su Tang put the howitzer back into the space and distributed semi-automatic rifles to everyone.
At the city gate, some Northern Xinjiang soldiers who were injured by the explosion had lost their ability to move and fell beside the city wall, waiting to die.
When they saw Su Tang and the others entering the city, those people only opened their eyes wide in fear and had no other reaction.
These people did not need to waste bullets. Qi Feng and his men used their knives to kill those who were still breathing.
There were no survivors wherever they passed.
Soon, Su Tang and his people scattered. In addition to checking whether there were any living people from Northern Xinjiang in the city, they also checked whether there was any food or property everywhere.
Many families did not take their belongings with them and just ran away.
There were small amounts of property in some civilians' homes, and Su Tang asked his men to take out the valuables on their own. These would be considered as rewards for their mission.
As for the large amount of items stockpiled in the city, those people will come to inform Su Tang after they find them, and then Su Tang will put them into the space.
In less than half a day, the entire city was swept clean by Su Tang and his group.
"We've finally waited for this day." A soldier said with an excited smile as he looked at the items he had collected.
"Yes, it turns out that they were the ones who plundered our people. This time we finally got our revenge."
"Shall we continue?" Qi Yan patted the cloth bag hanging around his waist and asked Su Tang with a smile.
"Of course!" Although the enemy might be well prepared for the next siege, Su Tang has modern hot weapons in his hands. Even if those people are well prepared, they will only be beaten when cold weapons meet hot weapons.
Just like that, Su Tang and his group successively broke through several cities in the northern border and finally attracted the person they wanted to see.
Nalan Zongda personally led his troops to meet Su Tang.
The people in northern Xinjiang were frightened by the weapons in Su Tang and his men's hands. They had never seen such powerful weapons.
In order to express his sincerity, Nalan Zongda asked his eldest son Nalan Ang to negotiate.
At this time, Nalan Ang brought a few people and came to the outside of the city that Su Tang had just broken through.
At this time, they were standing under the city wall, looking up at Su Tang and others on the wall.
"I am Nalan Ang, the eldest prince of the Nalan tribe. I have come here to discuss the matter of seeking peace with the envoys of Dayong."
At this time, the people in Northern Xinjiang did not know who had come to Northern Xinjiang, but they had captured several cities in Northern Xinjiang in just a few days.
Those cities were now completely empty, and the people were fleeing towards the rear of the northern border.
On the city wall, Su Tang looked at the people below, "Is it true?"
"Yeah." Qi Lingheng responded.
He had seen this Nalan Ang in his previous life.
"Then you talk to him." Su Tang didn't care about the negotiations. She was only responsible for the migration of people and weapons.
"Okay." Qi Lingheng turned and smiled gently at Su Tang.
These few days were the happiest days in his two lives.
"I won't talk to you. Let your father come in person." Qi Lingheng took a few steps forward and said to the people under the city.
"You!" Looking up at the young face on the city wall, Nalan Ang was extremely angry, but even though there was anger on his face, the words that came out of his mouth were submissive.
"I can take charge and talk to you."
"You are not worthy." Qi Lingheng looked at Nalan Ang with contempt.
Nalan Ang suppressed his anger and asked, "Who are you?"
He rarely came into contact with people from Dayong and did not know Qi Lingheng.
But the people on the city wall were too young, and they were clamoring for the leader of the Nalan tribe to come. He had to find out who the other party was.
"Qi family, Qi Lingheng."
Qijia......
Nalan Ang looked up at Qi Lingheng and memorized his appearance, then they turned their horses around and returned.
The other party must let Chief Nalan come. If he stays any longer, that person will not come to negotiate with him.
But after returning, Nalan Ang was severely scolded by his father Nalan Zongda.
"Useless thing! You can't even negotiate." Nalan Zongda looked at Nalan Ang below. In fact, this was the first time he reprimanded his eldest son so seriously.
He was merely temporarily venting the shame of Qi Lingheng's ignoring him on his eldest son.
Nalan Ang, who was standing in the room, said nothing, but he silently attributed all of this to Qi Lingheng.
"Please calm down, clan leader. You can't blame the eldest prince entirely. It's just that the man from Northern Frontier is too arrogant."
An old man in the house spoke up for Nalan Ang, "The other party is from the Qi family. I remember that Qi Zhanghui does have a son."
"He is just a king of a different surname. How can his son negotiate with me?" Nalan Zongda said with his eyes lowered, looking at the map on the table.
"But the other side now has a barrier in their hands. If we don't negotiate peace with them, they will probably capture a few more of our cities. By then, the prestige of our Nalan tribe in the northern border will be destroyed, and those who often fight with the Nalan tribe will probably take advantage of the situation to seize our territory." The old man who spoke was the great elder of the Nalan tribe, and he had always been the one giving advice to Nalan Zongta in the tribe.
