Chapter 641 - 587: The Killer of Zhang San! Titled as Khan!
Sharlobi had originally ordered his men to retreat in large numbers.But after all, nearly two hundred thousand of his own troops came from various tribes of the Tujue.
And this time, it was entirely the tribal leaders who brought their own soldiers to join the battle.
Normally, when order was stable, they would listen to his commands.
But now, the situation was chaotic.
What everyone thought of was to save their own lives first.
Even later, Sharlobi had no choice but to have his personal guards protect him and retreat first.
The two hundred thousand-strong army collapsed in an instant.
Later, when the Sui Army charged out, it was like slaughtering pigs with all the chopping and slashing!
Sharlobi fled northward with his army.
Most of the Tujue were, after all, cavalrymen who grew up on horseback and were skilled at riding.
Thus, even though the Tujue army was constantly being pursued, many tribes actually bunched up and ran together, and with the pursuing Sui Army not being very efficient in their pursuit, this allowed everyone to quickly escape to the north.
But as they ran, the State Preceptor suddenly shouted, "Great Khan! Something isn’t right!"
At that moment, the sweat-drenched Khan Sharlobi asked, "State Preceptor, what’s the matter?"
"Great Khan, think about it. If all four enemy armies had arrived, there should have been pursuers behind us, flank attacks from both sides, and all kinds of traps and ambushes on the road ahead. But our run has been so safe, so quiet!"he Tujue became even more certain that they had been deceived.
They were on the verge of winning but ended up being fooled by Zhang San.
At this moment, the Tujue were full of rage, furiously lashing their... war horses.
They charged at the soldiers of Great Sui.
As more and more Tujue troops returned from behind, soon seventeen or eighteen thousand assembled once again.
Although initially there were two hundred thousand, some of the chieftains, concerned that sticking with the large group would make them too conspicuous, had fled in other directions during the escape.
Nevertheless, seventeen or eighteen thousand was still sufficient.
Sharlobi pointed his blade and glared furiously at Zhang San, who had somehow produced a zither atop the city walls of Ren City.
"The mighty Tujue Army, follow your Great Khan, get ready..."
Dun~~~~~~~
Above the city walls, Zhang San suddenly plucked a string on the zither that was on the table before him.
Although it was just a single pluck, the awkward technique and excessively forceful use of his fingers made the sound unpleasant to the ears of both the seventeen or eighteen thousand Tujue beneath Ren City and the crowd on the city walls.
Simultaneously, the just-closed gates of Ren City slowly began to open again.
"Sharlobi, the Khan, I have an empty city here with tens of thousands of soldiers lying in ambush. The surrounding area is full of hidden troops. Do you have the courage to take another step forward?"
Sharlobi was infuriated by Zhang San at this point.
Is he taking me for a fool?
"Charge! To arms! The man who kills Zhang San will be titled a Khan!"
