Three hundred and fifty-seven. defeat
Ai Xiaohai found a big problem that he didn't want to see the most!
That is, the power of his own dragon spirit bead suddenly disappeared in this era.
disappeared without a trace, and now in addition to having more strength, there is no trace of the power of the dragon spirit bead at all.
Ai Xiaohai only smiled bitterly.
What else can I say?
The female Ai Yuxiang was too despicable to resist the attack of her own mental vortex, so she absorbed herself into it, and then took the opportunity to deprive herself of her strength.
However, Ai Xiaohai is not particularly worried.
This has happened to him more than once,
In fact, the way to regain strength is also "simple": just leave this place.
But it's easier said than done, at least I have to help Ji Zhu win this war against Dongyi.
How to fight? How to win? Ai Xiaohai couldn't figure it out at all.
Looking at the patchwork of 10,000 "army" again, Ai Xiaohai's nose was about to be crooked.
What kind of army is this? high and low, fat and thin; The old ones have stiff waists, and the younger ones are estimated to be in their early teens at most. And there are all kinds of guys in their hands, wooden sticks, stones, I guess they see what they take.
To say that it is still the "elite" of the troops under Ji Zhu, it looks like there are estimated 3,000 people, all of whom are 15 to 30 years old. 40 years old? At that time, the 40-year-olds entered the aging class. It's just a weapon in your hand......
Most of them are made of stone!
It's just a random thin stone, and then polish a weapon.
Be content. It was quite good to have such an army at this time. Each person has a weapon, and that is the elite of the elite.
Ai Xiaohai can only comfort himself like this.
According to the usual practice, before the expedition, it is natural to have a monarch to come to a political mobilization, which is nothing more than how the Dongyi people are so wolf ambitions, and how the monarch of the country has repeatedly tolerated it, but the other party still does not forgive, so he led the army to the expedition for Tianxingdao.
Ji Zhu finally finished speaking, and Lun Tuan came up again to say a lot. He said even more outrageously, saying that last night he had a dream in which the god of heaven told him. This expedition is bound to be won. And when it matters most, God will send His warriors to help.
At this time, the system of gods has not yet been formed, and it is impossible to say whether that god is the Jade Emperor or Guanyin Bodhisattva, anyway, it is called a god in a unified manner.
Patiently waited for Lun Tuan to finish speaking, thinking that it was time to go. Who would have thought that the Great Wizard would come again. Dancing and chanting the same mantra as singing. It is to the effect that it is praying for the blessing of the soldiers.
After this toss, Ai Xiaohai almost wanted to sleep, but he thought it was over?
Morning!
Then came the leaders of the tribes. Encourage the soldiers to tell them that they have been blessed by the gods, and that they will be invincible on the battlefield from then on.
Finally, the last tribal leader spoke.
It was getting dark by this time.
Well, I was ready to go out at noon, and I mobilized until dark before the war.
The soldiers were tired, and they took out all the food and drink.
You can't let people go hungry to war, can you?
What should I do after I've eaten and drunk enough? Go to bed.
Recharge your energy to go on the expedition tomorrow.
Ai Xiaohai understood why he had to make a conscription at noon, that is, it was prepared for dinner.
Ai Xiaohai couldn't laugh or cry, even ordinary people in his time knew how precious time was in war, and every extra hour of departure could achieve a decisive result.
But people in this era lack everything, that is, they don't lack time.
By the next morning, the army had finally started. The 10,000 people did not look like an army of troops, three by two, and several in groups embarked on the road of conquest. Along the way, they all laughed and laughed, and they walked fast and slow, so it didn't look like going to war, but going to travel.
But no one has taken care of them yet.
All on foot, not only the soldiers and the leaders of the various tribes, but even Ji Zhu was also on foot.
Ai Xiaohai is also confused, there is no divine beast, at least there is a horse to travel.
Those damn TV series, no matter what era it is, almost every general has a horse. Now that I'm here, I finally understand what's going on.
This horse is used to carry people, and it will take some time for it to appear......
Primitive society, standard primitive society. Ai Xiaohai complained bitterly in his heart.
Lun Tuan is a lot older, and he is also walking, and the only privilege is to follow four slaves by his side, holding a stretcher-like thing in his hand, and when Lun Tuan is really tired of walking, he can get on the stretcher and be carried by the four slaves for a distance.
This is also the only one in the entire army who can enjoy such privileges, not even Ji Zhu.
Who made Lun Tuan a wise elder?
Ai Xiaohai looked at the Lun Tuan on the stretcher and was about to die of envy.
"Eri, come here."
Others call him Ai Li, Ai Xiaohai doesn't feel used to it, but he still came to Lun Tuan's side.
"I've seen your mother." Lun Tuan's mouth was like this: "That's such an amazing person, if it weren't for her, we would still be wandering around." I remember she said to me when she left, that if we were in danger again, there would be an amazing person who would come to our rescue. I told a story I'd never heard before, and I thought that person might be you. ”
You overestimate me too much, the only thing Ai Shao thinks about now is whether he will die of exhaustion in the middle of the road.
Lying comfortably on the stretcher, Luntuan didn't think about the feelings of Ai Xiaohai who was walking at all: "Since the Hanxun Rebellion, we have suffered great contusions, the fields are barren, and most of the people have no food. Everyone can laugh all the time...... Therefore, exterminating Dongyi is our first step...... Eri, I'm old, and I'm going to ask you about fighting Dongyi......"
You think too highly of me, Ai Xiaohai muttered in his heart. I lost the help of the Dragon Spirit Bead. I don't know how the war is carried out in this era, and how should this battle be fought with such a group of "troops"?
"The Dongyi people are fierce, and it is said that there are new weapons...... but Lun Tuan said to himself, "So this battle is really difficult to fight." Although I am the nominal commander, you are our number one warrior, so you are more qualified than me to command the army. ”
New weapons? These words made Ai Xiaohai pay attention for a while.
You must know that in such an era, the emergence of any new weapon will play a decisive role in the direction of the war.
It's just that Ai Xiaohai's history is too bad, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think about what the new weapons used by the Dongyi people would be in this era.
Along the way, there was a lot of chatter, and all about it was how Ai Xiaohai could be loyal and assist the king well. It doesn't sound like it's a discussion of state affairs. It's like explaining what happened there.
Not to mention in this era, even after one or two thousand years, an army has to go from one place to another, and the time spent on the road is also huge. And two days later. The interest of the soldiers decreased significantly. So something inevitable happened:
Deserter.
What's the solution? If there is a war at once. Maybe everyone will be ready to fight, but the long journey can be physically and mentally torturous, especially when there is no military discipline at all.
Many people have been gone for two days and then they start to think like this:
“TMD。 Why hasn't it arrived yet? I'm gone, don't go, go home. ”
"Go home, go home, I miss my wife's white body."
"a, it's our business!"
Once this kind of thinking spreads, it will have the effect of contagion, and more and more people will join the ranks of deserters.
What is even more infuriating is that the tribal leaders seem to turn a blind eye and let the soldiers flee under their noses. yes, maybe they will walk for a few more days and even run together.
Ai Xiaohai was still trying his best to prevent such a thing from happening, but he could block this side but couldn't prevent that side. It was easy to block it a few times, but as a result, those deserters rushed towards Ai Xiaohai as if Ai Xiaohai was from Dongyi.
What can Ai Xiaohai do? All Ai Xiaohai could do was turn around and run away.
But it's not a big deal if it goes on like this, in less than a day, more than a thousand people have already run away. When it really arrives at the Dongyi people, how much combat power will be left?
Ji Zhu's 3,000 soldiers did not flee, but it was far from enough to rely on these 3,000 soldiers to achieve victory.
Gotta find a way to fix it!
Ai Xiaohai had an idea, and suddenly thought of the political mobilization before the expedition.
That's right, political mobilization, why didn't you think of it?
They can mobilize politically and do absolutely much better than them on their own, because they know what these guys need!
After Ji Zhu's consent, Ai Xiaohai asked the army to stop, and then he stood on a very high rock.
He did this deliberately, so why does everyone who is politically mobilized stand taller than everyone else? Not because of the loud shouting, but because it wants to create a sense of tallness and oppression, so that the other party thinks that the person who is speaking is a head higher than himself.
"Brethren!" Ai Xiaohai's mouth came out of such a nondescript title: "Brothers, I know that you are tired and can't walk, and I am also tired and can't walk." However, I have heard that the Dongyi people have what they want! ”
This last sentence silenced the army, which was still a mess.
Ji Zhu and Lun Tuan looked at each other, what do the brothers mean? And what kind of mobilization is Eri doing?
Where will Ai Xiaohai care about their thoughts:
"What do you want! Big chunks of meat, lots and lots of women. Some people have been to the Dongyi people, and they say that the meat piled up by the Dongyi people is as high as the mountain, and the food hidden by the Dongyi people can fill the entire sea, and the women of the Dongyi people are fat and strong, can go to the ground, and can give birth to many, many children! ”
Look at the soldiers again, their eyes are straight. Meat and food are attractive to them, and women who are fat and sturdy and can go to the ground and have children are even more attractive to them!
How did the aesthetic standards of that era compare to today...... In modern times, a woman who is charming and charming, her hands do not touch the water, and her feet do not step on the ground, in this era, she is definitely ugly!
As soon as Ai Xiaohai saw that there was a door, his voice became louder:
The king said. As long as you can defeat the Dongyi people, all of them are yours! ”
"Boom", and the team broke out.
The people of this era will still be evenly distributed, but the king will take the big head, the leaders of the various tribes will take the small head, and the rest will be evenly distributed to the ordinary heat. And there are many strong people, and few old and young and thin ones.
But now Ai Xiaohai actually said that the loot is all yours.
Ai Xiaohai finally quieted everyone down: "But how to divide it?" The tribe that arrives first on the battlefield takes a large share, and the leader has a separate reward. The best performers in battle, take a large share, and the boss also has a separate reward. If the leader of any tribe arrives last. And all his men are gone. I'm sorry, you watch others eat meat, and you don't have your share when others rob women! ”
The crowd is surging, this is the real crowd surging!
This is much more affordable than what the Great Wizard of the Nation Wise Man said!
"Let's go. Let's go. Kill the Dongyi people! "One of the most responsive chiefs has turned around with his tribe and left.
He's gone. All the people also reacted, and everyone was actually competing for the first place, and everyone was brave. Desperately heading in the direction where the Dongyi people were.
Ai Xiaohai's speech is really unimaginably effective.
It didn't take long for all the armies to be pulled out cleanly.
"Eri, come here." Ji Zhu called Ai Xiaohai in front of him: "The method you used is really good, it has inspired their fighting spirit." But what about us? If we can win this battle, what will we gain? It's all for those people. ”
Ai Xiaohai smiled silently, Lun Tuan was a wise man, and said with a smile at the time: "King, we have obtained far more than those meat and women. What worries the king the most? It's Dongyi people. As long as the Dongyi people can be pacified, will we have no meat and women? The tribesmen were given meat and women, but the king was given enough precious land and peace! ”
Ji Zhu suddenly realized: "Ai Li is really a great talent, and she is not fast at all as your mother and daughter Ai." ”
Ai Xiaohai couldn't help but scold the stupid person in his heart. Although this Ji Zhu is also a wise and promising monarch, it is really too far from his father Shaokang.
And the leaders and soldiers of those armies, stimulated by huge interests, actually rushed day and night, and it was not called accumulation and suffering.
After a few days, when they arrived in Dongyi, the Dongyi tribe had already heard that the crusade team led by Ji Zhu had arrived.
In this era, there was no concept of a city at all, and everyone was in the field. There is no guerrilla warfare movement warfare, anyway, the formation is opened, and everyone fights to the death.
Along the way, Ai Xiaohai has inquired in various ways, the leader of the Dongyi people is called Uncle Shu, he is a very famous warrior, with infinite strength, and he has 5,000 warriors under him who can fight the most terrifying.
When they arrived on the battlefield, those who were outdated and sick along the way were deducted, Ji Zhu still had nearly eight thousand troops, and it seemed that the Xia Dynasty coalition army had the upper hand in numbers, but Ai Xiaohai knew that it was going to be bad as soon as he saw the Dongyi army.
The other party's 5,000 people lined up in a neat line, far more military discipline than these stragglers under his command.
What shocked Ai Xiaohai even more was not the stone weapons in the hands of the Dongyi people, but the huge weapons in the hands of hundreds of Dongyi people:
Archery!
This kind of bow and crossbow is very large, and a single bow and crossbow requires dozens of soldiers to operate, and it fires stone projectiles. Similar to the slingskin bow that is now magnified hundreds of times!
This is the new weapon of the Dongyi people!
Such a new weapon is rudimentary and ridiculous in the eyes of modern people, but it is simply devastating for the Xia Dynasty coalition army!
God, a battle broke out in a while, and the terrible Ai Xiaohai couldn't imagine after this kind of bow and crossbow was launched.
Just as Ai Xiaohai was about to report this emergency to Ji Shu and ordered to stop the attack, the Youshu tribe at the front couldn't hold it back, their minds were completely overwhelmed by meat and women, and they didn't know what the bow and crossbow were, so they rushed towards the Dongyi people desperately.
It's over, Ai Xiaohai called out in despair in his heart.
Sure enough, the Dongyi people's crossbows began to fire!
The huge stone projectile was launched, and although it was completely inaccurate, the huge roar made by the stone projectile as soon as it hit the ground was shocking.
The warriors of the Sorcerers were terrified.
What is it? How can the opponent's stone fly in the air?
God, the other party must have the help of the gods, right?
The crossbow is so large that it takes a long adjustment period to fire each shot. And after a few bows and crossbows were fired, more than a hundred Dongyi people armed with strange weapons appeared.
TMD, is that really the case? Ai Xiaohai, whose history was in a mess, finally remembered that the book said that the new weapons used by the Dongyi people were nothing other than bows and crossbows:
Bow and arrow!
Each person has a small bow and arrow, but instead of arrows or arrows, it still fires stones.
That's one slingskin bow per person - a giant improved crossbow!
More than a hundred stones flew out in unison and smashed into people, what did it feel like?
Well, a slingshot war!
Many of the people of the Shushu clan were naked, and they were hit by the stones emitted by the slingskin bows, and their flesh and blood were blurred, and they were miserable.
This frightened the people of the Shurcery, and they turned around and ran.
Uncle Uncle, the leader of the Dongyi people, laughed "haha" and waved the stone knife in his hand: "Warriors, kill!" ”
The Dongyi soldiers all over the mountains were killed.
It was a crossbow and a slingskin bow, which frightened the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty coalition army. There are sorcerers running in front, and the tribes in the back are also following suit, turning around and running.
This time, the coalition army collapsed, and no matter how Ji Zhu restrained it, it would not have any effect.
"Run, King! If you don't run, you'll have to die here! Ai Xiaohai reacted quickly in the end, grabbed Ji Zhu and ran back.
The first battle of the Xia Dynasty's seemingly mighty coalition suffered the heaviest defeat! (To be continued......)
