Chapter 281: The Fall of Kazakun (Part II)
The people of the steppe have grown up on horseback, and every child who has reached the age of five will find a horse of his own among the horses with the help of his father. The boys would ride their horses to become good warriors, the girls would ride their horses and herd the sheep, and finally if a boy he liked would race with him on his horse, he would marry him if he won.
It can be said that the horse is the companion that accompanies the people of the steppe from birth to death, and even more so for these warriors who ride on horses today.
Sangkhun knew that this was his last struggle, and if he was defeated in this battle with Terhan, his life would be at risk and his people would become slaves of other tribes. If he is defeated, even if he has Princess Yinting in his hand, the khanate position will not be something for him to get, so although he faced the 10,000 cavalry of Terhan and Plangilt this time, Sang Kun led the 3,000 cavalry that he hastily gathered, even if he could not win, he would hold on until the reinforcements he sent to ask for help arrived.
Sangkun knew the importance of this battle, and there was no reason why Terhan should not know. He knew exactly how many troops Sang Kun had, not only Sang Kun, but also Prangirt and Zamasida, who came with him, how many troops they had in their tribe, Kundu and Terhan knew very well.
The reason why he dared to come to the hinterland of the Kazakun tribe with 10,000 people this time was because he knew that after Sangkun returned, his subordinate soldiers needed to return to their own tribe and return to their homes, and now there were less than 10,000 people in Kazakun's tribe, and most of them were old and weak, women and children, and the number of people who could carry weapons to fight would definitely not exceed 50,000. Moreover, if Sangkun's subordinate soldiers and horses want to support him, it will take at least half a day to arrive in the middle, and his own 10,000 people beat him Sang Kun less than 5,000 people, can it take half a day's effort?
At a distance of ten zhang, it can be said that the war horse under the crotch has not yet run, and the two cavalry are already standing face to face. The cavalry charge was that momentum, even at such a short distance, when thousands of soldiers and horses collided together, the scene was very spectacular.
The moment the two teams of men and horses fought, the knights of the two sides who almost rushed to the front were killed instantly, not only under the opponent's weapons, but also the war horses collided together, and the people on the horses were almost one life for another, without any skills at all. Even if you dodge the first scimitar, the second scimitar will already be on you before you can react.
As soon as they fought, almost hundreds of people died, and Terhan and Sangkun also stood together, they were the leaders of their respective soldiers, but according to the custom on the grassland, it was the leaders who took the lead in the charge and encouraged the soldiers under their command, so the warriors who followed their respective leaders automatically reserved a place for the two leaders.
So much so that on the battlefield, no matter how the two sides are scuffling, in the center of the battlefield, there is always a small place, which belongs to Terhan and Sangkun. When the two of them first exchanged hands, they rode on their horses and slashed each other more than a dozen times.
Although Sang Kun fled all night, but at the last moment when his life was threatened, he still broke out with a strong combat power, and Tilhan, whose spiritual morale was much higher than him, slashed with a knife, not at all, but almost slashed the slightly slightly inferior Tilhan off his horse with a knife.
Terhan, who paid the price for his underestimation of the enemy, didn't expect that Sang Kun still had so much strength at this time, and he put away his contempt, because this was not only disrespectful to Sang Kun, but also to his own life.
Fighting on the horse is nothing more than you chopping and chopping, you dodge and I dodge, and the two of them fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and finally hit the ground from the horse.
Sang Kun used to be the first warrior of the Kazakun tribe, and his brute strength could bring down a cow with his bare hands, and now although he has not rested all night, it is more than enough to deal with people like Terhan, who have been well protected by his parents since childhood. In addition, Sang Kun is also very experienced in fighting enemies, compared to it, Terhan only has the experience of dealing with pheasants and wild boars when hunting, and all his martial arts are taught by experienced warriors in the Arosa tribe, so the two can still fight a tie now.
However, after a long time, Terhan gradually fell into a disadvantage, after all, there are many places that need to be taken care of on the battlefield, and Sang Kun has an advantage over Terhan whether he leads the troops or fights alone, so slowly Terhan is a little defeated.
Seeing that Tilhan's movements were already a little sluggish compared to the beginning, Sang Kun couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and the scimitar in his hand accelerated the frequency of attacks, so that Tilhan could only resist passively, without the power to resist.
Seeing that their leader was so powerful, the warriors of Kazakun also launched a fierce attack on the enemy as if they were not dying. Although there are few people on their side, behind them are their relatives, their parents, their wives and children, and they can only wield the scimitar in their hands even harder, harvesting the lives of the enemy. 591 net
And outside the battlefield, Prangirt saw that the cavalry of the Kazakun tribe, which was only one-third of his own number, actually fought a tie with the 5,000 men and horses led by Terhan. On the one hand, he secretly scolded Terhan for being so unsuccessful, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how to save Terhan and destroy Sangkun at the lowest cost.
The battlefield is very anxious, 10,000 people fight 3,000 people, no matter which commander leads the troops, I am afraid that they will feel that they will win. But seeing Sangkun's bravery and the desperate style of play of the Kazakun warriors, I have to say that this battle is really likely to last for a while.
Tilhan was already secretly cursing in his heart, such an anxious situation on the battlefield, why hasn't Plangirt's men arrived yet, this old boy shouldn't have left himself and ran away, right?
Plangilt didn't run, but he didn't join the fray either, because he made a bold decision to attack Sangkun's lair, the stronghold of the Kazakun tribe.
The 3,000 men and horses brought out by Sang Kun were already the last line of defense in the base camp of the Kazakun tribe, and now in the Kazakun tribe behind the battlefield, there were only five or six thousand old men, women and children, and these people were not as lethal as their sons, husbands and fathers. Use your own 5,000 people to kill these people, not to mention the slaughtering knife used to kill chickens, at least you can catch them.
So Plangilt took his own men and horses, bypassed the battlefield where there were still more than 5,000 people fighting, and rode from one side to kill the Kazakun tribe.
After sending off the remaining 3,000 warriors in the tribe, almost all of them hid in their tents, waiting for the end of the battle outside that would determine their fate.
Along the way, without encountering any obstacles, Plangilt rushed to the base camp of the Kazakun tribe. The improvised fence made of wooden branches outside the tribe did not stop the horses from leaping, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the five thousand men of Plangilt had surrounded the empty Kazakkun tribe outside.
"Go, drive out all the people in the tent, and if there is any disobedience, kill me directly." Plangirt, who rode slowly on horseback, gave orders to the captain of his guard.
As the order was given, the cries of women and children, as well as the screams of soldiers resisting and being killed, began to be heard from within the tribe. The sound did not last long, and the old man, woman and child, who were hiding in the tent, were driven out of the clearing within the tribe by Plangirt's soldiers.
The shouting in the distance continued, and it seemed that Sang Kun had not yet realized that he had eaten his big rear. Plangilt smiled, and on his horse, he saw a stunning beauty in the crowd, surrounded by two equally good-looking women.
It seems that it should be Sangkun's woman. Plangilt's eyes radiated the look of a beast in heat, and he pointed his horsewhip at Gmeya, who was hiding in the crowd, and the captain of the guard understood, he walked straight over, grabbed Gmeia's slender arm, and dragged her to Plangirt's horse.
Plangilt bent down, pressed the end of his whip against Gmeia's chin, and lifted Gmeia's beautiful face. He ignored the hateful look in Gemiya's eyes, and simply said to the captain of his guard, "Bring this woman back to me." These people of the Kazakun tribe are useless, women and children have been taken away by me, useless old men and young boys, you should know how to do it without me. ”
The captain of the guard grabbed both of Gmeia's arms and nodded at his leader. Prangirt was satisfied, and he grabbed Gmeia, whose hands were tied, and lifted her on the horse, lying face down on his horse, then turned the horse's head and walked out of the tribe, and said, "Do it." ”
Black smoke rose from the tribes in the rear, and the people of the Kazakun tribe, who were still at war, saw it and shouted, "Great chief!" and pointed to their homes in the distance.
With a sharp knife to cut Tierhan far away, Sang Kun turned his head behind him when he heard the voice, and when he saw it, his eyes were about to split. "Terhan, I'll kill you!"
