Chapter 370 Seeing that you were arrested too, I feel much better!
With a slight bend at the waist, Lü Xiao easily lifted Shekui Khan from the ground with one hand, as if he were picking up a chick.
Shekui Khan was covered in blood, and the wound on his leg was still oozing blood. He was in so much pain that his face was pale, but he couldn't even scream.
He could only turn his head blankly, looking at the battlefield around him.
The sounds of fighting still echoed in my ears.
Although Lu Xiao's hundred or so cavalrymen were few in number, they charged left and right through the crowd as if they were in an empty field.
Shekui Khan watched this scene and felt his mind go blank.
He was captured alive. Will he die?
maybe.
He had heard that Lü Xiao was ruthless towards his enemies.
Those rebel kings in Jianghuai fared even worse, including Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, and others.
Which one of them wasn't beheaded by Lü Xiao, their entire family going down the road without even a complete corpse left behind?
Thinking of this, Shekui Khan's leg trembled involuntarily, whether from pain or fear, he didn't know.
"Your Highness, shall we retreat?"
Yuwen Chenglong swiftly dispatched the last Western Turkic soldier blocking his path with a single spear thrust, wiped the blood from his face, and rode his horse to Lü Xiao's side.
He glanced at Shekui Khan, then at the Western Turks around him who were still putting up a stubborn resistance, and felt that there was no point in continuing the fight.
Anyway, they've already got Shekui Khan in their hands. The Western Turks are leaderless, and the remaining scattered soldiers can't cause any trouble at all.
Those small, foreign countries were already waiting to kick someone when they were down; there was no need for them to take any further action.
Lü Xiao nodded and casually tossed Shekui Khan to the ground.
Shekui Khan fell to the ground and groaned in pain.
Upon seeing this, several Sui soldiers rushed forward, tied him up tightly with ropes, and then lifted him up and put him on the horse's back.
Shekui Khan lay sprawled on his horse, his head drooping to one side, looking just like a bound animal.
"You guys retreat first."
With a loud shout, Lü Xiao swung out the invincible Fangtian Halberd in his hand.
The halberd blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, cleaving several Western Turks who charged at him in two.
Blood gushed out, splattering all over him, but he didn't even blink.
Upon seeing this, Xi Daoyi and the other Qiang cavalrymen quickly turned their horses around and retreated to the south.
Yuwen Chenglong and Pei Yuanqing also led their men to retreat one after another, showing no concern for Lü Xiao's situation.
Lu Xiao stood there alone, holding the invincible Fangtian Halberd, his body covered in blood, like a god of death.
The Western Turkic soldiers surrounded him, but none of them dared to step forward.
Their hands, gripping the knives and guns, trembled; their legs shook; and their eyes were filled with terror.
That's a demon god who single-handedly slaughtered 100,000 elite troops. Who would dare to go up there and die?
"Chase them! Chase them quickly! Rescue the Khan!"
Ashina Tongyehu watched helplessly as Shekui Khan was tied to a horse and taken away, cold sweat instantly pouring down his forehead.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, waving his spear, trying to get the soldiers around him to rush up and save the man.
But the Western Turkic soldiers looked at each other, their feet rooted to the spot, unable to take another step.
It's not that they don't want to save them, it's that they're really afraid.
Lu Xiao stood there, the peerless halberd still dripping blood. Who would dare to approach?
"what!"
Seeing this, Ashina Tongyagu gritted his teeth, grabbed his spear, and charged out with his guards.
He knew that if he couldn't save the Khan, the Western Turks would be finished.
Without a leader, the tribes will inevitably fall apart.
Those small foreign countries have been waiting for this day for a long time. When it comes, they will definitely pounce on us and tear us apart, leaving not even bones behind for the Western Turks.
"You're someone to be reckoned with."
Lü Xiao did not know Ashina Tongyagu, but this man had always been by Shekui Khan's side.
They followed him all the way from the ancient Loulan Road to the royal court, and from the royal court to his escape route.
Wherever Shekui Khan appeared, this person was there.
As the spear came hurtling towards him, Lü Xiao neither dodged nor evaded, but instead swiftly reached out with his left hand and grabbed the shaft.
Ashina Tongyegu felt a tremendous force coming from the spear shaft, and he almost fell off his horse.
He tried desperately to pull back the spear, but the shaft was as if it were clamped by iron clamps and wouldn't budge.
Come here!
With a slight effort, Lü Xiao pulled Ashina Tongyehu off his horse.
Immediately afterwards, Lü Xiao swung his halberd, cleaving the charging guard and his horse in two.
The guard didn't even have time to scream before he collapsed in a pool of blood.
"drive!"
Lu Xiao squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs, and the Red Hare neighed loudly, then galloped off on all fours.
He gripped the halberd of Wutian in one hand and pressed down on Ashina Tongyegu on horseback with the other, while behind him were the Western Turkic soldiers who were still in a daze.
It wasn't until Lü Xiao's figure disappeared on the distant mountain ridge that the Western Turkic soldiers came to their senses.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
Didn't we agree to move west?
How could the Khan have suddenly disappeared?
Even the Yehuzha is gone?
What will they do then?
While the Western Turks were still in a daze, Lü Xiao had already caught up with the group that had retreated earlier.
At this moment, Yuwen Chenglong was waiting by the roadside with his men.
Shekui Khan was thrown off his horse and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
His leg was mangled and bloody from the tiger's bite; every movement was excruciatingly painful, but he dared not scream and could only grit his teeth.
Yuwen Chenglong stood to the side, repeatedly kicking Shekui Khan's injured leg.
"Run, you think you're so fast? You've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
He kicked him repeatedly, not too hard, just enough to make Shekui Khan wince in pain, but not enough to actually kill him.
He originally did not intend to torture Shekui Khan.
After all, this is a gift to be brought back to His Majesty in the Eastern Capital. If it gets damaged, it will be difficult to explain.
But who knew that just now, this guy tried to run away!
With his legs bitten like that, he still wanted to run away. Wasn't he just asking for a kick?
We must make sure he never forgets this, so he won't run away again.
"Your Highness!"
Upon seeing Lü Xiao return, everyone stood up and bowed in unison.
Shekui Khan, who was being kicked, silently raised his head and looked in the direction everyone was looking.
Upon seeing this, his pupils suddenly contracted.
There was another person lying on Lu Xiao's horse.
Ashina Tongyehu.
Shekui Khan felt as if the sky had fallen.
If only he had been captured, the Western Turkic Khaganate would at least have the Tongyabhu (chieftain) to hold it together, preventing it from falling apart completely.
But now, even the Yabghu has been captured, so who is left in the Western Turkic Khaganate?
"Khan!"
Ashina Tongyahu was thrown off his horse and landed on the ground. He immediately saw Shekui Khan lying not far away.
He struggled to get up, but a Sui soldier next to him stepped on him, rendering him unable to move.
"well……"
Shekui Khan let out a long sigh, a sigh filled with helplessness and resignation.
As he sighed, a strange sense of relief suddenly welled up in his heart.
I wasn't the only one who got arrested; at least I had company on the road.
If they were to go to the Eastern Capital, the two of them could be locked up together and talk to each other, so they wouldn't be too lonely.
