Chapter 254: Raiding the Camp (3)
There were hundreds of forage tents piled up by Temujin's army, and less than one-tenth of them were set on fire by Zhou Botong.
Because Zhou Botong launched in advance, Huang Yaoshi failed to find Temujin, and only took advantage of the chaos to kill Jebe and several other generals in the army, and was forced to leave Temujin's camp.
After Yan Kang killed the first hundred-person team, he took nearly 100 herdsmen who had weapons and continued to rescue other herdsmen.
Wokotai rode his horse and led the crowd and rushed over, and he shouted: "Those who leave the camp will be killed!" ”
Along the way, some herdsmen had already put on their clothes and had just run out of the camp tent when they fell under the scimitars of the beggar soldiers.
There were 3,000 troops to guard the herdsmen, but in the middle of the night, they could not gather all of them in a hurry. At this time, there were only a thousand people who rushed behind Wokotai.
The number of remaining herdsmen in the entire camp is at least 70,000 or 80,000.
There is a huge disparity in numbers, but the current combat power is reversed.
Behind Wokotai, there were thousands of people, all of whom came galloping on horses, and their armor was complete. And these tens of thousands of herdsmen are scattered sand, mostly with bare hands.
Wan Yankang saw that Wokotai and the others kept slashing and killing the herdsmen along the way, like killing chickens, he was furious in his heart, turned around and asked, "Do you have a bow and arrow?" ”
The herdsmen behind him looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"Got a spear?"
Behind him, four or five people immediately stepped forward and handed over the spears in their hands.
Most of the warriors on the steppe use scimitars as weapons, and there are very few who use spears. Therefore, among the 100 people who had just been captured, there were only four or five spears that could be gathered.
The shouting of killing is getting closer and closer, and the front army of Wokotai is only twenty zhang away from Wan Yankang. Wan Yankang swept the spear in his hand, leaned back violently, forming a reverse bow, and then suddenly threw the spear.
With the violent sound of breaking the air, the army in front of Wokotai took the lead and fell down.
Before the gun could be exhausted, it penetrated the person and inserted it into the body of the second person.
Wan Yankang saw that there was basically no error in the landing point of the first shot, so he grabbed the second spear and continued to throw it.
The second spear, he took a thousand commanders in the front formation, and sat down on the horse.
After the second shot was thrown, he didn't look at the result, took a deep breath, and grabbed the third spear!
After a few breaths, the spear in Yan Kang's hand had already been thrown. In the front line of Wokotai, the slain people turned on their horses, followed by the horses, and countless people tripped over the fallen men and horses.
Wo Kotai was the coach of this period and did not rush to the front, so he dodged Wan Yankang's shot. He sat down on the horse very handsomely, did not panic in the chaos, and in a few vertical leaps, he took his master to avoid the fallen men and horses.
Although Wan Yankang didn't know the identity of Wokotai, when he saw that this horse was so handsome, he knew that its owner must be extraordinary, and he had the intention of capturing this person in his heart.
Wokotai escaped the catastrophe of falling to the ground, and just breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a person in front of him dragging a gun and rushing towards him, only a few feet away from him.
With the power of this person's spear just now, Ogedai knew that he would never be this person's opponent, but as the commander of a battalion and the son of Temujin, he would never be able to do such a thing as fleeing without a fight.
Ogedai bit his lip and suppressed the fear in his heart, and with a slight grip on his legs, he urged the horse to continue forward, while raising the scimitar in his hand high.
Wan Yankang originally expected this person to escape, but he didn't know that he stepped forward immediately, he was happy in his heart, and put away the silver gun in his hand.
Seeing that the enemy suddenly withdrew his gun, Wokotai couldn't help but be overjoyed, and with a little strength in his hand, the scimitar drew a perfect arc and slashed towards the comer.
Then, a knife missed......
Before Wokotai could react, the back of his neck was pinched, and the whole person was torn off the saddle.
Wan Yankang turned over and sat on the Wokotai horse, carrying the Wokotai in his left hand, holding the scimitar of the Wokotai in his right hand, turning the horse's head, waving the knife and pointing at the enemy, shouting: "Kneel down and surrender, you can avoid death!" ”
A group of Wokotai's subordinates originally came with a murderous spirit, but in an instant, the boss actually fell into the hands of the enemy. Of the three commanders under the command of Ogedei, one was cut down by him, one had fallen under Wan Yankang's spear, and the other commander was the supreme commander present.
But at this moment, his body is already six gods and no master, and he doesn't know what to do.
The herdsmen behind Wan Yankang began to shout frantically: "Tengger! Tengri! ”
At this time, Wan Yankang felt that the owner seemed to have changed on his back, and he couldn't help but snort, and his hooves trembled.
Wan Yankang was a master of equestrianism when he was a teenager, and he knew that the more handsome the horse, the more loyal he was to his master. If it is an ordinary horse, he can make the horse surrender in three or two strokes, but the horse under the Wokuo pedestal is a one-in-a-million magic horse, but it is difficult to surrender in ordinary ways.
Thinking of this, Wan Yankang put the wokotai horizontally on the horse's back. The horse smelled its master's smell unchanged and settled down a little.
At this time, the commander on the opposite side came to his senses and shouted to Wan Yankang: "Quickly put down the adult, you will not die!" ”
Wan Yankang smiled coldly: "Who is this?" ”
The commander was slightly stunned, and he didn't know whether to say or not to say the identity of Wokotai.
Wan Yankang raised his scimitar: "If you don't say it, I'll cut off one of this person's ears first!" So saying, he slashed down.
The commander immediately shouted: "Stop, this is the son of Temujin Khan, Lord Ögedai!" ”
Wan Yankang was very happy in his heart.
Temujin had eight sons, and to outsiders he treated them equally. Wan Yankang knew that Wokotai's current status in Tiemu's heart was a proper first in line of succession.
Temujin sent Ogedai to guard the herdsmen, seemingly unused, but in fact a protection for him. Temu really knew that this journey would definitely not be so smooth, so he deliberately let Wokotai be in the rear.
I didn't know that Wokotai was in the back, and he was actually captured. If Ogedai loses his life, the only remaining commander will never survive. After this person explained the identity of Wokotai, he regretted it for a while, but he hoped that the other party would throw a rat trap and let Wokotai go.
Let go of Wokotai, it is impossible, with such a talisman, Wan Yankang can already let go. He shouted again: "Dismount quickly and surrender, those who surrender will not die!" ”
Surrender in this case?
For the soldiers of the begging department, it was absolutely impossible, and seeing that Yan Kang could not rest assured that Wo Kotai, the commander stiffened his head and shouted: "Follow me!" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he added: "Hugh injured Lord Wokotai!" ”
Wan Yankang raised his eyebrows, stuck the scimitar into his waist, pulled out the gun from behind, urged the horse, and trotted forward.
The commander knew that Wan Yankang was very skilled, so he deliberately kept beckoning the rear army to move forward, and he slowed down himself so as not to collide with Wan Yankang at the first time.
Seeing this, Wan Yankang didn't know what idea this person had in his heart. On the battlefield, it is always better to face an enemy general who is greedy for life and afraid of death, than the enemy who is not afraid of death.
With this greedy commander who is afraid of death, his soldiers must obey orders and dare not hurt Ogedai.
And on the battlefield, once you are tied, it is a game of defeat!
Wan Yankang waved his silver spear, and the enemy army in front of him, there was no one in charge, and they all fell off their horses.
Some cavalry in the rear took off the bow and arrow on their backs and aimed at Yan Kang, but they didn't dare to shoot arrows, for fear of hurting Wokotai.
The herdsmen behind Wan Yankang quickly followed, and when the herdsmen with weapons saw the horses that had fallen into the air, they climbed up and turned into cavalry. And the bare-handed herdsmen, when they saw the fallen enemy, were like vicious dogs pounced on food, snatched the ownerless knives and guns, and then rushed forward.
When these herdsmen were coerced by Temujin, they were destroyed once. In the battle during the day, they were treated like cattle, driven to fill the city with soil. At this moment, the hatred of these herdsmen for the enemy in front of them has already accumulated to the extreme.
On one side, the commander was captured, and the warriors had a weak fighting spirit and were restrained.
On one side, the leader is brave and fierce, and the warrior is hateful, that is, there is no weapon, and he has to pounce on it and bite a few bites.
And as time passed, the liberated herdsmen, like a snowball, gathered more and more, forming a rolling torrent behind Wan Yankang.
With the only remaining commander of a thousand soldiers, he was picked off by Wan Yan Kang with a shot, and the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Qiyan Department were like a leaky flat boat, completely swallowed by the rolling torrent!
Wan Yankang led the crowd to annihilate the more than 1,000 enemy troops, and continued to kill the remaining garrisons.
After a cup of tea, the 3,000 defenders of the Qiyan Department guarding the herdsmen have been wiped out.
Wan Yankang shouted to the herdsmen behind him: "Now that the defenders have been destroyed, you can run away at night, as far as you can!" Then he lifted up Ogedai and prepared to make a detour back to the city.
"Tengri, don't you care about us?" The first few herdsmen who were rescued by Wan Yankang have been following closely behind Wan Yankang, kneeling on the ground when they saw this, crying bitterly.
Wan Yankang jumped off the horse, helped a few people up, and comforted: "I'm not Tengger, I'm the marshal of White Horse City, I saved you, I can't bear to see Temujin drive you to die in vain!" ”
"Tengger, Tengger, you can bring us back to White Horse City!" Everyone knelt down in unison and pleaded with Yan Kang.
After Yan Kang was speechless, he took Wokotai back to the city, and he had to take a detour. How could he bring these tens of thousands of herdsmen back to White Horse City.
"Tengger, we can't enter the city, and even if we run, we will die in this vast snow." Someone saw Yan Kang's difficulties and put forward this statement.
Wan Yankang was stunned when he heard this, but what this herdsman said was something he hadn't expected before. With Temujin's control over the herdsmen, they only had two days' worth of dry food, and they still had to save food. When this drop of water turns into ice, if there is no food, it means that the herdsmen will escape and ascend to heaven, and they are afraid that they will starve to death on the prairie.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. Wan Yankang went out of the city to rescue him, but he felt that it was because of himself that many herdsmen were killed and injured. He couldn't bear it, so he ventured out of the city to rob the camp.
What is the difference between dying under the White Horse City and dying on the grassland and snow?
Faced with this inner torture, Wan Yankang groaned again and again, and finally had an idea.
"I want three thousand of the bravest warriors to march west with Ben Shuai!"
"Those who were still able to walk ran to the east and fled to Gyeongju. When I arrived in Gyeongju, I had a house to live in, clothes to wear, and wine and meat! ”
