Power and Empire Chapter 1176: Floating Snow
Rethard,
The crystal clear early morning white dew condenses on the grass stems and leaves, moving with the wind, like a white water strip flowing on the grass in front of the town. In the distance, there is a town formed by a row of wooden fences. There are more than a dozen reinforcements outside the town. The inside of the sentry tower is a huge Guangping. Looking from a height, the temporary wooden warehouses in the town are densely arranged, almost doubling the area of the entire town.
horseshoes stepped on the soft grass, a group of cavalry slowly appeared on the hillside one mile away from the town,
One of the young men wearing wolf-headed shoulder armor stopped his horse on the hillside. The golden sunlight shone on the young man’s face, showing a somewhat delicate face, but if you look closely, it’s I will feel this somewhat delicate face, with a palpitating "wildness"
This is completely intuition. When he stopped the horse, no one of the Kujit generals dared to scream, which is enough to show that this seemingly young patriarch has the prestige that convinces everyone. The Kujit people have always Respect the strong, their discipline is like a pack of wolves. When a wolf speaks, other people can only bow their heads and obey orders.
"My lord, according to the forward scout's investigation, there are definitely no more than 3,000 garrisons here!" A Kurgit ranger rushed on horseback from the front, the waist-length weeds almost reached the belly of the horse, behind him , An undulating plain with beautiful scenery and green all over the ground suddenly appeared in front of everyone, giving people an amazingly cheerful feeling,
"There are only 3,000 people!" The generals behind the young man floated for a while, and everyone's faces rose with excitement
"The patriarch!" A middle-aged general Kujit with a stubborn face asked with confidence, "If the enemy really only has 3,000 people, call it to his subordinates. I promise that it won’t take 2 hours. Solve the battle!"
" Don’t worry, wait a little longer than Carl and Zamsha." The young chief Kugit said grimly, "A premature attack will attract the attention of Ballas. I don’t want to face someone who has stepped on his tail. Tens of thousands of desperate Doroks like rabbits!"
"The patriarch is really joking"
The relaxed situation in front of him made an old general Kujit also sneered, "I ate the 40,000 troops of the Doroks in one bite last night. If they are all like this, even if they really face 10 Tens of thousands of Rock people, with the mobility of our cavalry, are enough to safely withdraw from the battlefield before the enemy arrives!"
"What if you add millions of catties of food? Are you sure to evacuate safely?" The young patriarch blinked,
‘this. . . . . . "The general Kujit suddenly lost his language. No matter how fast the cavalry is, and with so much food, it completely loses the mobility of the cavalry. Once it is entangled by more than 100,000 Rocks, the whole army will definitely be destroyed. Maybe
" Patriarch, do you want to bring all the food here? This is millions of catties of food." The generals took a deep breath. The Kujites have a habit of looting, but such a big deal is definitely For the first time, the generals thought the young patriarch was crazy,
"If you don’t want it, it’s okay!"
To their surprise, the young patriarch raised his whip indifferently and pointed to the front, and said in a condensed voice, "What we have in front of us is enough to support 170,000 people to eat for 2 months. Don’t forget, now There should have been a snow in the grassland!"
"It's snowing!" This seemingly unacceptable sentence made all the generals' hearts tighten slightly, their faces changed slightly, and the generals were silent. They knew why their patriarch had to wait for the cavalry on the left and right wings. I’m willing to attack when I arrive,
The lion fights the rabbit, go all out, the patriarch wants a lore,
‘If this battle is successful, you will have no worries this winter! "The young patriarch whispered a word, and the generals behind him looked at the distant town with scorching heat. The second phase of the battle was so intense, he secretly said to himself that this battle must be a perfect victory!
The white snow may be a sign of a happy harvest in other places, but for the prairie people, the white snow falling from the sky is a horn of expedition to the tribal warriors, and it is the longevity day to test the tribe. Precursor,
This is all caused by the bitter cold climate of the grassland. When the snow falls, the tribe will start ordering all the wandering tribesmen to return, and all the adult men will be gathered, no matter how young their faces are, they will become solemn at this moment. Get up, no joyous laughter can be heard in the tribe. The blazing camp bonfire is a sign of the tribe’s juvenile adult ceremony. This is a sign of changing from a child to a warrior, because all the Kujites know that in a scene like After the dreamlike and beautiful heavy snow, within half a month, the grassland is completely frozen.
In this season, the earth is frozen for thousands of miles, and the livestock within the clan will face various low temperature threats. Animal trails are difficult to find. Not only people did not eat, but also livestock did not eat. It lasted for several months. The bitter cold not only freezes the thin grass seeds on the ground, but also forces the tribes to migrate to the warmer inland in batches in order to protect themselves.
In previous years, the tribes who moved south will continue to gather on the border, and eventually become a force that will scare the inland countries, and the inland countries will also move to the south. People are regarded as terrible intruders, between the inland and the grasslands,
The choice between life and death, the helpless war, the corpses are everywhere, like a cruel winter, this is the season of the Kujites, like the cold wind of the cracked grassland, when the order of the South Expedition is issued from the royal court, All young men from all ethnic groups who celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony will join the ranks of Nanzheng.
picked up a scimitar, put on the curved bow he hunted on his back, put on the leather armor that his mother or wife had sewn for several months, and left their beloved grassland in Yiyi farewell. They were going to fight, from 13 to 63. At the age of, the men of the tribe have taken care of themselves for hundreds of years, using their hot blood and meager life to fight for the power of the tribe’s continued existence.
They fought desperately, leaping horses in southern Xinjiang, using sharp cutlasses and flying horses to make the enemy frightened, and using cruel and ruthless plunder, they swept the ground like locusts
The inland people are always used to describe these nomadic cavalry from the north with fierce beasts, but few people know that behind these cold-blooded fierce beasts who are still unafraid in the face of penetrating edge, they are actually bloody. Everyone is human. Without that mother, he would be willing to let his beloved child take up arms and join the chaotic and cruel battlefield. Without a wife, he would let his husband embark on a journey that might never return. But this is the fate of the Kujit man,
They are the backbone of the tribe. Only when they desperately head south can they let the tribe or supplies persist until the time when the earth rejuvenates.
The war is cruel and ruthless. Every year, a large number of families disappear on the grassland, and a large number of new families appear every year. The cruel laws of survival bring not only the population reduction, but also the grassland. Unique national customs,
The man died on the battlefield in one stubble, just like the withered weeds in winter, the stems of the grass withered, and the grass seeds are buried deep in the ground
The madness at the coming-of-age ceremony represents the helplessness of the entire nation,
When the heavy snow fell, the only thing that the tribe can stay is women who are responsible for nurturing and children who have not yet grown up. The Kujites never reject polygamy, women who have lost their husbands, and children of their fathers. They need to rely on the strong shoulders of a man,
Only the men who can come back alive from the South Campaign are eligible to get all of this, and the Kujit men who receive them also need to take up all the responsibilities. They will form a new family for the continuation of the tribe. And continue to live (it can be understood from the above, why Genghis Khan’s wife was snatched away, and even the child was born with someone else, Genghis Khan still did not mind even bringing the enemy’s child back to raise"
‘If what the captive said is true, the materials piled up here are enough for us to make a good deal. So, I want one to not miss! "A cruel sneer appeared at the corner of Duoweiyan's mouth. This once pampered young man of Kujit has grown into a local hero who can be called the trend-makers of the times at an impressive speed in continuous wars.
"What if His Majesty the Falcon gets to blame?" In the end, some people still raised it with some concern
"Your Majesty Falcon, I will go and explain it myself, I believe it only needs to be clean! Your Majesty won't be too pursued, after all, we Kujites are also his subjects!" The young man's eyes flickered. Looking ahead~IndoMTL.com~ With a whip in his hand, a vigorous white horse under the hip, the metal vest exudes a holy light in the sun
"With these foods, for His Majesty Falcon, it can also reduce a lot of burden! The benefits of killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?
The complexion of that general Kujit suddenly realized,
Yes, so much food is invaluable to the current grassland. Only the tribes who can find food can survive the cruel winter, such as the grass of the earth, which will sprout new shoots in the coming spring. It's endless,
"Let's do it, according to the relationship between Master Duo Weiyan and His Majesty Falcon, this battle may really be a big gain!"
The generals of Kujit had already looked at the small town greedily with a wolf-like gaze, and a Kujit cavalry came to report "Report, Lord Birka's cavalry has arrived!" After 20 minutes, Zha Muir’s cavalry has also arrived,
Duo Wei Yan raised his head to look at the sky, the darkness before dawn gradually passed, and the dawn slowly opened the prelude to the darkness of the earth, the hills and shrubs that moved with the wind were wet by the fog and the morning breeze blows However, the bushes cut rough lines on the ground as if they were being pushed by a haircut,
The early bird flocks flew out in the nearby woodland, making joyful chick, screaming,
The cold morning air is sweet, and the green grass buds in the field are bathed in the warm and not cold light of early winter as much as possible
"A good morning, it would be more beautiful if there were more blood!" Duo Weiyan said to herself, suddenly drew out her command scimitar, held it high and ordered behind her, "The army is encircled! The hunt begins!" (
