Chapter 113 Keeping the Promise

On the last day of counterattack, Tang Han completely gave him the command to Ba Hong. He just did a centralized dispatch and spent most of his time watching the battle in the North Gate Tower.

Although he was a soldier, he was actually a layman in ancient wars. Since that's the case, it would be better to leave the professionalism to professionals and not get involved in it.

The thing a bald leader and a mustache leader likes to do the most is to directly interfere in the command of the frontline troops, not to make jokes, and it also caused many soldiers and generals to lose their lives because of their stupidity and stubbornness, and eventually they also lost their own power.

Although Tang Han felt that he was a smart person, he also had self-knowledge. His strength lies in his generals, not in his generals. As long as he could lead his generals well, he would leave the other matters to the generals to handle, otherwise he would be exhausted even if he was able to do it.

And there was another person watching the battle with him on the city tower today, naturally the Beidi female Khan Adele who made a bet with him.

Tang Han brought her over as early as the Beidi people were about to start siege, so that she could witness with her own eyes how she beat her.

At the beginning, the Beidi people attacked fiercely and the sound of killing shocked the sky, Adele looked proud and proud, and said to Tang Han: "Look, our Beidi warriors are the bravest warriors in the world. You will pay the price for you to underestimate our Beidi warriors. But don't worry, after the Feilang Khan enters the city, I will keep my promise and plead for you."

Tang Han believed that the female Khan's words were sincere and was a little impressed by her broad mind. After all, she could forgive someone who killed thousands of his subordinates and planned to take them for herself. This mindset is not something that everyone has.

Tang Han glanced at the proud heart of the female Khan and smiled and said, "Adele Khan's broad mind is admirable. However, there is a saying in my hometown that the one who laughs to the end is the most beautiful. Let's not be anxious first, let the arrow fly for a while."

Adele didn't understand what he meant, looked at Tang Han inexplicably, shook his head and said, "You are a proud man, but this cannot change the fact that you are about to fail."

Tang Han smiled but did not answer, just looked at the battle outside through the lookout, and observed Adele's expression.

When the sound of the crossbow cart fired, Adele's expression became nervous. When the attack of the Beidi soldiers was stagnant, Adele's brow frowned.

When the sound of whimpering stones bounced through the air continued to sound, Aidal's face began to turn pale. He leaned forward, grabbed the blue bricks at the lookout with his hands tightly, and looked outside without blinking.

When the Beidi soldiers began to run backwards, her body staggered and her whole body began to tremble.

When she saw that her brother Feilang Khan's flag, whom she believed most, turned around and began to move quickly north, her body softened, and her strength seemed to slip away in an instant, leaning softly against the wall, her face extremely pale.

At this time, the other three sides of the battle reports were also reported continuously.

"Report to the Lord, the enemy outside the East Gate has begun to flee!"

"Report to the Lord, the enemy outside the West Gate was defeated and fled!"

"Report to the Lord, the enemy outside the South Gate is defeated and fled!"

Adele's face was already scary, and his tall body slid down the cold stone wall.

But she did not sit on the ground, but was supported by a solid and powerful arm.

Tang Han looked at her in a daze and wanted to enjoy the joy of the winner, so he said a few sarcastic words, but he swallowed them again when he spoke.

He helped Adele up and looked at her and said, "This is how the war is. Either you win or I win. You should be able to think about this."

Without saying much, he pushed open the door and walked outside.

Not long after, Adele walked out and a little bloody color regained on his face.

She walked to Tang Han and said in a weak tone: "You won, what are you going to do?"

Tang Han did not answer her directly, but walked to the city wall, looked down at the city, and said, "Come and see what that is?"

Adele walked over and looked at Tang Han's gaze. After seeing this, he was stunned.

On a large open space inside the North Gate, thousands of cavalry were neatly arranged. These cavalry were wearing unified black leather armor, long swords at their waists, and bows behind them. Each of them exuded a strong and tough smell.

Each of the war horses under their crotch is tall and strong, and any one of them is a good war horse.

And each of these cavalry has one, which is really shocking.

She could see that these war horses were not the war horses seized by Tang Han from her subordinates. Although there were countless horses on the grassland, there were not many war horses as majestic and tall as these war horses in front of them.

But what surprised her the most was the bows behind these cavalrymen. She was the daughter of the grassland, so she naturally recognized that these bows were used for cavalrymen, and were horn bows used on horseback, or riding bows.

In the minds of grassland people, only the brave and warlike grassland warriors are good at riding and shooting. Although the weak southerners are good at defending the city, they are far from being opponents of grassland warriors when it comes to riding and shooting.

But the scene in front of her made her less determined in her past understanding. She turned her head with difficulty, looked at Tang Han, and murmured: "Are they..."

She didn't say the following words, but Tang Han nodded and said, "That's right, they are my archers and cavalry units, and they are also the troops I plan to use to chase and kill your defeated soldiers."

Hearing this, the little blood that Adele had just recovered disappeared instantly, and his face turned pale again.

Anyone with a little military experience knows that the biggest damage on the battlefield is often not when the two armies confront each other, but when one side retreats and is chased by the other side.

The siege in the past few days has caused heavy losses to the Beidi people. If Tang Han let such an elite archer and cavalry unit take the opportunity to chase him, then the Flying Wolf Khan will be finished.

Tang Han looked at Adele's helpless eyes and said in a deep voice: "But, I suddenly changed my mind. Since we have made a bet, it is time to fulfill the bet. To show my sincerity, I will give up chasing you."

Adar looked at Tang Han in disbelief after hearing this, and finally confirmed that he was not talking nonsense, and said in a difficult voice: "What are your conditions?"

Tang Han said: "I will let you go as promised. Go back and tell your brother Feilang Khan that if he promises not to invade my territory within three years and uses ten thousand war horses as compensation for our losses in this war, I can sign an alliance with him, not only promise that both sides can live in peace, but also trade with you and provide you with all the supplies you need."

Ten thousand war horses sound a lot, but they are nothing to the grassland people.

So, after hearing this, Adele looked at Tang Han in disbelief and asked, "That's all?"

Tang Han smiled and said, "That's all, do you still want me to propose a marriage clause?"

Adele's face turned red with a rare blush. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he looked up at Tang Han and said firmly: "I think my brother will definitely agree to your conditions. Please wait for me, and I will definitely come back within five days."

Tang Han nodded, without saying much, and explained to Zhang Long.

Soon, Zhang Long led a war horse and another guard walked to the city gate with a package.

Tang Han and Adele walked down the wall. When Adele saw the war horse, she rushed over and hugged the horse's neck in excitement, and tears burst out.

The war horse stuck out his tongue and licked her tears.

After a while, Adele let go of the war horse, wiped away his tears, and returned to Tang Han and said seriously: "Thank you for your trust in me and return my blue bird to me. Within five days, I will come back no matter what."

Tang Han nodded, reached out and took the package from his guard's hand and handed it to her and said, "There are some food and water here, you can use it on the way."

Adele nodded, took the bag and carried it behind his back, turned on the horse, looked at Tang Han deeply, rushed out of the city gate, and headed north.

Ba Hong walked over from behind and walked to Tang Han and said, "Is it really a way to express the sincerity of the negotiations that the Lord will not ask someone to pursue the defeated soldiers?"

Tang Han looked at Adele's figure getting farther and farther away, turned around and walked back as he walked, saying, "If the flying wolf's strength is too great, this is not a good thing for us."

Ba Hong understood immediately.

The balance of strength between Yelang and Feilang on the grassland is a good thing for Tang Han at present. If the flying wolf is too weakened, then Yelang will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Once the Yelang's strength soars, his ambition will also expand, and the south will not have the idea of ​​going south.

This is obviously unwise for Tang Han, who still needs to concentrate his efforts to deal with the next Summer Empire court.
