Power and Empire Chapter 1791: The Ambition of China and Biya (3)
The carriage crossed a **** in front, and a larger camp appeared in front. After a trombone resounding through the sky, a long black line appeared in front, like black armor like a black cloud, and the battle flag was in the blue Standing solemnly in the sky, a camp larger than the front appeared in front of Xu Dongli,
Just one glance, Xu Dongli felt dazzled,
The number of tents in the densely packed barracks is uncountable. Teams of cavalry lined up outside the barracks. In front of the camp stood hundreds of targets with round red hearts, and a team of black armor galloping past the targets. The cavalry was holding a compound bow flat in his hand, and white lines traversed a beautiful arc and fell towards the target. The cluster of arrows shot the target into a hornet's nest in an instant. After a team of cavalry passed, Another group of cavalry quickly picked up, like a huge circle, one group followed the other group in front, clusters of arrows like swarms of locusts bursting from the horizon, continuously connected to the target position,
Xu Dongli and Gongsunliang looked at the clusters of arrows shot from the running cavalry, and shot them at a target a hundred meters away. When they saw that their jaws were about to fall, Gongsun Liang sitting next to him was already screaming in horror. Come out, "Riding and shooting! It's the riding and shooting of the prairie people!"
"Yes, it is the scariest wheel of the steppe cavalry!"
Xu Dongli’s face was pale, his fists clenched, ten white fingers stuck into the flesh, causing a piercing pain, the pupils of his eyes had shrunk to a point, and his face was so ugly and ugly. , The sight in front of him caused the scariest memory in his mind,
It was July of last year. The setting sun was like blood in the Lili grassland. There was no cloud in all, and the green grass moved with the wind, full of tranquility and peace. Xu Dongli picked up a handful of water by a small river, countless Chinese and Bianca soldiers are setting up camps nearby. Xu Dongli, as an imperial forge, entered the grassland with the third legion of the imperial army to fight. He has been wandering in the grasslands for seven days. If no steppe man’s army is found, the army will rush back to the original starting point,
Looking at the beautiful grassland, the atmosphere of the barracks is very relaxed. Everyone thinks that some people will not come. The grassland will become very bad at night, not only will it tear like a dragon. The storm, and the hungry wolves, these wolves are very courageous. I am not afraid of people. I have a pair of green eyes that make people feel distressed. Generally, I am not a lunatic and would not choose to attack at night, because the howling of wolves is enough to make the attack fall short
At this moment, the prairie people came, like a long black line with billowing dust,
"Quick. Get ready for battle! Hurry up if you don't want to be shot into a hornet's nest!"
The infantry captains who were urging the soldiers to move the supplies just now yelled sadly like crazy, drew out their swords and rudely drove the soldiers into defense, quietly and peacefully. Dispelled by the horns of war in an instant, the soldiers hurriedly pushed the carriage, picked up weapons from the camp weapon rack, and the soldiers ran back and forth. The carriage for transporting supplies was pushed out of the periphery, and a defensive line of the frame was constructed, with baffles attached to the wheels and doors. The Chinese infantrymen intensively raised their long spears behind the truck, panting nervously, and at this moment countless infantry bowstrings were pulled apart, "creaking" like a tight thread being pulled unrestrictedly. Long, no one knows when, this infinitely tight thread will break, and everyone’s nerves are at their extremes.
Xu Dongli was gasping for breath, the sound of a broken bellows sounded unpleasant, and there was a burning tingling in his lungs, but Xu Dongli still felt fortunate and ran from the river 300 meters away in one breath. Coming back is a terrible job for a senior caster with poor physical strength, not to mention the cavalry of the steppe people, chasing after them like hungry wolves seeing their prey, one by one with the sound of wind. Arrow clusters whizzed past the face. If it were not for the excellent physical strength of the servant, the last more than 20 meters, Xu Dongli almost ran desperately on his back, and Xu Dongli was at the moment with more than a hundred unlucky ones who did not run back. Like an egg, they were killed by the prairie people’s sharp arrows one by one outside the army
"Okay, master, we have escaped back!" Jian servant pulled him behind a carriage, followed by a group of Chinese and Biyaan troops with a total of 40,000 people. The army is about to go to war, in order to avoid being shocked. , The army immediately closed the outer front, and on the opposite side were 17,000 steppe left guard cavalry. This is a typical encounter. Facing the infantry clusters that the empire is waiting for, the steppe men’s galloping queue is just like the front. In this way, the scattered queue suddenly broke up and turned into a circle after a loud sound of eagles,
In a blink of an eye, the dense clusters of arrows swooped down like a torrential storm. The imperial infantry regiment of 40,000 people was suppressed even having difficulty in moving. The clusters of arrows roared together, and the power almost changed the color of the world and Xu Dongli. Recognizing bold, but also frightened, the whole body curled up and hid behind a carriage. His ears were full of the sound of arrows hitting the baffle of the carriage, like a rainstorm hitting the dry ground, and the sound of puff puff was like a puff. In his heart, the soldiers’ screams are endless
The healthy servant who saved his life was just boldly curious to take a look. Just half of his head was exposed, a cluster of flying arrows shot through the eye sockets, and the arrows came out from the back of the servant’s head. Half of his head was shaved off, and the red and white brains were like an overturned wine glass, all at once splashed on Xu Dongli’s panic-white face, Xu Dongli watched the servant’s body fall down in disbelief. , In just a few seconds, countless clusters of arrows fell on the corpse, blood shot violently, it was impossible to see that it was still a complete person,
The soldiers fell in pieces under the dense rain of arrows. The baffle of the tank was shot by layers of arrows as if they were going to fall apart. The encounter lasted for half an hour. Maybe the people in the steppes found that they could not expand the results. Only like the wolves that have not eaten the fat lamb, they are unwilling to leave behind the defeated Zhongbian infantry. They are extremely arrogant and leave like the grassland breeze. The rumbling of horseshoes gradually rises, and the eyes are full of tears. Xu Dongli dared to raise his head,
The terrifying sight of arrow clusters on the ground in front of him gave Xu Dongli a shock from the inside out, like white snow covering the ground. That was the tail feathers at the tail of the arrow clusters. That encounter was reported as a victory. ! Although Xu Dongli didn't see where the victory was at all! Is it just because it has not been annihilated? The 40,000 troops fell halfway in the encounter. If it weren’t for the tight car array to be impeccable, the Chinese archers would fight back tenaciously, the prairie cavalry would not be so easy to withdraw, and the arrowless prairie cavalry would pull out their melee scimitars. The same is also the toughest assault cavalry. If the prairie cavalry made a group impact, no one would dare to say how many people would survive
With the loss of a mere four thousand people, they repelled tens of thousands of the grassland left guard cavalry. This is where the great victory was reported. In addition to the loss of 4,000 people, the general leading the team decisively concealed the fact that there were 13,000 wounded soldiers, because there were more soldiers, and they didn’t even see the enemy’s face. I stayed on that piece of land forever, and the infection of arrow wounds made the number of 13,000 wounded soldiers returning alive to less than 5,000. This is the round-shooting formation of the steppe people, just half of it. hour. With a 1:4 inferior force, it severely damaged the people of China and Biya, and made Xu Dongli, who was on the battlefield for the first time, to see the horror of the prairie people
It is said that there are as many as 200,000 cavalry troops in the largest court of the prairie people. No one can believe that if it were not for the accidental death of the king of the East Court, what power would have caused the three prairie princes to fall into chaos? Able to stop the northern steppemen's round-shooting cavalry!
"I really have never seen a person from China in the world!"
The guards who escorted the messenger regiment acted like silly gooses to the Chinese people. He rolled his eyes in disdain, but it was the round shot of the steppe cavalry. Is it necessary to be so surprised? The number of cavalry is only about 10,000,
The power of round shooting is nothing more than that. Most of them are spoiled. His Majesty Falcon has repeatedly asked the prairie people to improve the training of round-shooting, but the prairie people still stubbornly maintain this simple training method, round-shooting. Training in the super sniper longbow formation composed of 50,000 infantry troops in the Empire is a joke at all, 150 meters away. The tens of thousands of heavy crossbows fired by the empire were enough to turn the steppe assault cavalry into a cold corpse full of arrows.
"Come on, tell them, I'm here!" The fat man stopped the horse, waved his hand to the guard behind him, his gaze swept across the cloud army in front,
The camp of the prairie people occupies one-third of the camp, and the others are the battle flags of the Salon Army and the Central Army. The prairie flags representing all ethnic groups are fluttering in the wind outside the camp. The prairie people are natural warriors. Inside the camp, you can see the clanging of craftsmen, and countless tents are like a piece of white covering the vast plain in front of the southwestern capital. The large army camp tents surround the plain, spreading out like a circle, this time in the west. Ting Grassland dispatched 50,000 troops. As the first emperor team to receive the order to attack, the speed of arrival was also the fastest.
"Woohoo"
The hurried horns swayed in the sky. A group of patriarchs dressed in prairie costumes appeared at the entrance of the camp. Seeing the fat man in front of the black armored cavalry coming from a distance, all of them knelt down with joy. The prairie cavalry who were training in rotation also stopped, like a split wave, as the fat man moved forward, countless prairie warriors on both sides also knelt on the ground, black pressing a head, and the prairie people showed the most solemn respect for the arrival of King Khan. With enthusiasm, three shouts "Long live His Majesty Khan!" The sound of tens of thousands of people shook the heavens and the earth.
"Get up all!"
The fat man rode his horse and stopped the horse. He glanced over the grassland chiefs who were kneeling on the ground ten meters away. He raised his hand with satisfaction. After his own remediation, Xi Ting has completely surrendered to the empire. Down, even Duo Weiyan, who is at the top of the line of patriarchs, has a respectful face and dare not dared to go beyond the slightest place. The aura of this prairie hero is firmly suppressed by himself,
"Your Majesty, Telli Rashad, the patriarch of Tell City Department, seems to be absent!" The guard squadron captain who accompanied the team suddenly whispered into the fat man's ear with a solemn expression.
"Teli Rashad!" The fat man was stunned for a moment. He looked at the steppe patriarchs who stood up again. As expected, he didn't see Tre Rashad. The fat man stepped down from the battle horse with a bit of displeasure. Give the whip to Duo Weiyan at the forefront of the patriarch’s queue,
Duo Weiyan looked excited, and the hand holding the riding whip trembled with excitement, while the other patriarchs looked envious. She really deserved to be King Khan’s eldest brother. King Khan handed over his horse whip directly. For Duo Weiyan, this is called "generation whip" in the grassland. The whip has a special meaning in the grassland.
For a prairie woman, the horse whip is her most beloved thing. If she sees the lover in her heart, she will throw the horse whip to him. If the other party picks it up and sends it back, if it is interesting, the prairie woman will raise the horse whip cruelly If the prairie man is not angry, it means that he has accepted the woman's will, but for the prairie man, the whip represents power! King Khan’s whip is used to drive the tribe! The person who can take the whip can only be the person that King Khan trusts most, under one person, above 10,000!
Fatty naturally knows this, because the princess Rui Tang Tingna, the princess of the East Court, wants to get Fatty's riding whip. She was unceremoniously rejected by the fat man. That is a woman who dared to open a dye shop for three points of color. She can use a riding whip to slap her elastic **** so that she will always remember her man. Being able to pass it into her soft, slender fingers like a baby lamb, with a whip, this woman would absolutely dare to shake the sky!
Duo Weiyan is different. This prairie lord who can't wait to tie his entire clan to the imperial chariot, even if he takes the whip, he will at best show it off in front of the other patriarchs!
"Where's Teli Rashad? Why not have him" the fat man asked as he walked.
"This..." Duo Weiyan followed the fat man. The other patriarchs followed him. This is the power of the whip. He glanced at the fat man and said, "Teli Rashad is getting more and more shameless. Now he is not in the camp, but has gone to the city. , I heard that Messi Jielin not only dances well, but also looks beautiful, so this guy is clamoring with his own people to go to the show!"
"The show? Didn't the show just start tonight? What kind of show did he go to see in broad daylight! "The fat man snorted very unpleasantly." Since you said he took his own person to go, how much is it? People?"
"Seven patriarchs who belonged to him, and a guard of one hundred and twenty men!"
Duo Weiyan has a serious face, but in fact he almost burst into laughter in his heart. The Teli City Clan is rising in the north of the West Grassland. It has already posed a threat to the Duowei Ministry. Last winter, the Telli Clan even made plans to rob their own grassland during the marriage ceremony. Duoweiyan was ready to attack this bold guy, ready to use the power of the empire to quell this potential threat in one fell swoop, but no one expected it. The fat man was not very interested in punishing the Trishi tribe, but just lightly punished the tribe tribe with 3,000 livestock.
"A hundred and twenty guards! He dared to enter the city, didn't he receive my order?" The fat man walked into the camp and asked angrily.
Immediately after he arrived, he gave orders to the Xiting cavalry troops that arrived earlier. The troops are not allowed to enter the city and camp, nobles are not allowed to spend the night in the city, and they are not allowed to bring more than 100 guards into the city. No way, the destructive power of the steppe It is obvious to all, and there is always no hygiene, mixed with horses and horses, and it’s nothing to camp in the wild. Once you enter the city, it will be the side of the disaster. The place where you are stationed must be full of horse dung, smelly, and people and horses drink water upstream. Throw everything in the water, and the lower reaches suffer. Moreover, the people of the steppes are addicted to spirits and go crazy when they are drunk. There are conflicts between tribes and tribes, and it is commonplace to slash if they don't agree with each other.
"Teli City Shade is a very proud person, and he has always stood on his own in the northern part of the western grassland. This is not the first time that he has disobeyed King Khan's orders! "Duoweiyan took the opportunity to spit out bitterness in the military account. , Keep telling how arrogant Shade is in Tellus City, how he wanted to attack his camp several times, how he clamored in public to restore the glory of the royal court,
Listen and listen, Fatty’s eyebrows are raised. He knows too well what Duo Weiyan wants to express. He can’t wait to say that Teli Shad is a hidden danger of the empire. It’s best to send troops directly to wipe out the entire Teli family. , Typically want to kill someone with a knife,
At this moment, a guard ran into the camp to report "Your Majesty, Telli City Patriarch, Telli Shade, see you!" Duo Weiyan's face suddenly became a little embarrassing
"Let him come in!" The fat man pretended not to see his elder brother's face and waved his hand to the guards. A brawny man dressed in a prairie robe, like an iron tower, stepped into the military tent, saw the fat man, and quickly knelt on his knees. On the ground, he trembled and said, "Great King Khan, your humble servant Teli Shad pleases you! Please forgive the fault of Teli Shad. The subordinates didn’t know that King Khan would arrive today, but they went to the city with curiosity. Here, I heard the horn before entering the city gate!"
"Get up~IndoMTL.com~What are you going to do in the city?" The fat man nodded. This brawny man is Teli City Shade, his brain is almost knocked to the ground, and there is dust all over his body. Obviously he hurried back after hearing King Khan’s horn.
"The little one went to buy supplies! Master Duo Weiyan said that the army ran out of salt, so he sent the little one to take the horse team to buy salt in the city!" Shade of Teli City stood up respectfully, panting. Said, there is no unruly look on his face,
His appearance is a typical wide face, brain gate, two thick prairie hair buns on his head, giving people the first feeling that this is a bold and straightforward guy, in fact, on the prairie, special force Shishad’s nickname is "Angry Bear"
Not only because of his tall stature, but also because he was also a legend in the northern part of the West Prairie. He once killed 72 horse thieves alone for a woman in a rage,
The horse thieves on the grasslands are not comparable to the inland bandits, they are the elite survivors of some defeated tribes,
Bearing the hope of tribal revival, the small group before the tribal flag was raised again is the prairie horse thief. A small group with 72 prairie warriors can actually be regarded as a small tribe.
Because of being very famous, the fat man happened to hear Rui Tang Tingna mention this legend of the West Grassland. Even the cruel Rui Tang Ting Na also said that Teli Shade is a rare real hero among the Xi Ting people, and never bullies the weak. The tribe, even in the face of the Dongting tribe that was once an enemy, will be kindly received, and Rui Tangtingna's tribe has even established a trade line with the Trishi tribe.
