Chapter 243: Preparation

When the sky showed a faint light, the neighing of horses gradually sounded, and gradually spread, like spring thunder, awakening both sides of the Krulun River.

Wanyan Kang rode up the high slope and began to watch the battle from afar.

The war of hundreds of thousands of people was completely different from the wars he had experienced before. When the men and horses are densely spread all over the grassland, what formations and tactics are almost useless. Personal bravery, in a war of this scale, is just a drop in the ocean.

The efforts of hundreds of thousands of horses made the spectators on the east coast feel like a major earthquake is coming.

Towards noon, thunder exploded and heavy rain began.

The shouts of hundreds of thousands of warriors completely covered the roaring thunder and roaring rain in the sky.

The west bank of the Krulun River has been completely reduced to a meat grinder, and blood mixed with rain has begun to flow from the grassland, poured into the river, and stained half of the Krulun River.

The terrain on the grassland is simple, and the hole cards of both sides are exhausted, and there is no trickery to do.

The number of the Kereh tribe is superior, but the number disadvantage of the beggar tribe is not too great. At this time, the two sides competed more about the fighting spirit and perseverance of the soldiers.

Wan Yankang couldn't take his eyes off and watched it for a long time. Judging from the situation of the battle in this half day, he knows very well that this big battle will not end in a day or two.

This half-day battle situation also made Wan Yankang quite rewarding, he asked Ye Siming to take a row of unparalleled flying horses to stay and continue to watch the battle, once the two sides split the winner, Pegasus returned.

In five or six highlands up and down the river, the few remaining tribal leaders on the steppe were watching the battle. Wan Yankang sent soldiers to send out an invitation, inviting these leaders to meet in White Horse City seven days later to discuss the plan.

All the arrangements were set, Wan Yankang turned the horse's head and ordered to return to the city.

When I came, the journey went smoothly, but I didn't expect that when I returned, there was a small accident.

Those tribal leaders, after Yan Kang sent people to deliver the message, said one after another that they would obey the order and go to White Horse City.

It's just one of them, but he has a different mind.

This person's name is Dada, and the population of the tribe is only 20,000, and in terms of strength, among the only seven or eight tribes left on the grassland, he is almost at the bottom. Dada has always been ambitious, and when he saw that Yan Kang's entourage of soldiers was only two hundred, he flew back to the tribe, lit up three thousand strong, and prepared to intercept and capture this little prince of the Jin country halfway, and present it to the new overlord of the grassland.

Three days later, at dusk, Wan Yankang ran to the vicinity of Choibal, and he was about to order to camp along the mountain river, and then go up the mountain to hunt and go down to the river to fish, and make a good meal of beating and beating teeth.

Tang Juekong suddenly pointed to Qiaobalshan and said, "Dashuai, there is an ambush ahead!" ”

A few months ago, after the Yan and Li families were looted, the White Horse City was furious, and Xu Daosheng sent thousands of troops out of the city to exterminate the horse thieves for hundreds of miles around. The famous falcon on the grassland has since disappeared, Juekong's identity has changed from dark to light, and he has officially joined the establishment of White Horse City, and he has resumed his original surname, but his name still uses the legal name of Shaolin.

After hearing Juekong's words, Yan Kang raised his eyes and saw many birds flying in the mountains flying in the air, but they refused to fall and rest. He immediately ordered the whole army to stop and start guarding.

Not far from the foot of Choibal, there is a gentle place on the Krulun River, from which the river is crossed, and further east, there is a flat river, which is only seven or eight hundred miles away from the White Horse City.

Dada calculated that Yan Kang would go here after finishing it, and at noon he led his army to hide in the mountains and set up an ambush here. At this time, seeing that Yan Kang's subordinates began to be on guard, Dada knew that the ambush had been seen through, so he simply led the crowd to jump out.

Wan Yankang recognized Dada, he saw this person from a distance, and thought in his heart, could it be that this guy was also a part-time horse thief.

After hundreds of steps, he shouted: "Dada Khan, what do you want? ”

After listening to Yan Kang's shouting, Dada shouted while riding his horse non-stop: "Little prince, it's rare for you to pass by me, Dada invites you back to the tribe as a guest!" ”

When Dada shouted, there were still three hundred steps away from Wan Yankang, but his voice couldn't reach so far. Although Wan Yankang couldn't hear the meaning of his shouting, Dada led the crowd to rush forward, which showed that his people were full of malice.

Wan Yankang first asked Huang Rong and the three girls to run away, and then spit out two words: "Kite!" ”

Dada couldn't help but laugh wildly when he saw that Yan Kang began to lead his troops to run away. In his opinion, he has 3,000 soldiers, recuperating in the mountains, and has sufficient horsepower. And the two hundred people of Wanyankang, who have been running so far day and night, are already sleepy and tired.

It doesn't take ten miles... No, it should be within five miles, and his army can catch up and annihilate this small group of cavalry.

However, the life of this little prince must be kept. Thinking of this, Dada shouted: "The man in front of him with silver armor and white horse, don't hurt his life, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Dada quickly spread the word to his soldiers left and right.

When Wan Yankang heard this, he also sneered: "Brothers, since Dada treats Ben Shuai so favorably, let's spare his life later!" ”

When the warriors heard this, they burst into laughter.

Wan Yankang fell on the tail, turning around from time to time to estimate the distance between the two armies.

Three hundred steps!

Two hundred and fifty steps!

Two hundred steps!

The two armies were within two hundred paces of each other, and Wan Yankang began to order: "Turn back!" ”

"Shoot!"

Dada saw that the enemy was two hundred paces away, and suddenly the speed of the horse slowed down, and just as he could not understand what he meant, he saw a rain of arrows flying out in front of him.

Isn't it a waste of effort to fire an arrow in 200 steps?

Dada suddenly felt that Wanyan Kang's prestige on the grassland must have been blown out of White Horse City.

Before this thought disappeared, Dada was horrified to find that this rain of arrows did not fall halfway as he expected.

The sound of arrows with a puff and a snort, and the screams continued to sound in Dada's ears, and he also subconsciously lowered his body to dodge the incoming arrows. A moment later, Dada was pleasantly surprised to find that no one was hit by an arrow near Sanzhang beside him.

Dada raised his head and was about to give the order when he saw a new round of arrows coming.

He quickly lowered himself again!

After five rounds of arrow rain, the distance between the two armies had been reduced to about 100 paces. Without a salute, Dada's warriors held their breath and prepared to shoot back with their bows.

But the deserters in front of them actually accelerated.

Five rounds of arrow rain caused no more than three or four hundred casualties, but because people kept falling from their horses, the speed of the pursuers in the rear was constantly decreasing.

As the speed of the horses increased and decreased, the warriors of White Horse City widened the distance by another fifty or sixty paces.

With Wan Yankang's order, a new round of kite shooting began again.

The standard equipment of the Peerless Flying Horse is a double quiver with forty arrows. After the crowd shot one of the quivers, they found that the pursuers in the rear had stopped and were no longer chasing.

Although Dada is safe and sound, he has infinite regret in his heart, Immortal God, why do you treat me like this!

The three thousand elites he brought with him had been nearly half lost under the attack of twenty rounds of arrow rain.

What's even more terrifying is that the other party is still unscathed!

Wan Yankang saw that Dada didn't dare to chase anymore, so he reined in his horse, turned around and laughed: "The enemy is cold!" ”

All the warriors shouted in unison: "Invincible! Invincibility! Invincibility! ”

"If they don't chase, then let's start hunting!"

The warriors of the peerless shouted one after another, and under the leadership of Wan Yankang, they rode their horses and began to trot.

When the two sides were one hundred and fifty paces apart, Wan Yankang slowed down his horse and began to draw arrows.

When using the kite tactic, the fighters only hurt the enemy with a rain of arrows, and the accuracy is not high. And when using hunting tactics, the warriors of the peerless fully showed their magic shots.

No missing arrows!

After five rounds of arrow rain, the few hundred remaining warriors of the Dada tribe had completely lost their fighting spirit, and they scattered and fled without waiting for the leader to speak.

Dada knew that the tide was turning, and he turned his horse's head and prepared to flee from here.

The Han people have a saying, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, Dada thinks so in his heart.

With a whoosh, his horsemen stood up and threw him to the ground.

Several pro-soldiers around Dada saw that the Khan had fallen from his horse, and they all dismounted to save him. But after seeing Yan Kang's hand rise and fall, these personal soldiers of the protector fell in response.

Dada fell so hard that it took him a long time to get up, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure coming to him.

"Dada Khan, don't come unharmed!" Wan Yankang looked at him with a smile.

Four days later, the leaders of the six remaining small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland, each with hundreds of relatives, came to White Horse City on time to see Wan Yankang.

Wan Yankang held a banquet in the marshal's mansion and ordered to cook sheep and slaughter cattle to entertain guests.

The leaders of the six tribes, each with two personal entourage, had dinner with Wan Yankang. The civil and military ministers in White Horse City, Wan Yankang only called Xu Daosheng to accompany him.

This dinner was according to the Mongolian custom, each with a dining table, and the food was divided into separate tables. The cooks in White Horse City are more than a step higher than the private chefs of the tribal leaders. After Huang Rong came, she gave some instructions to a few cooks to make her skills even better. At this time, as soon as the wine and meat are served, the fragrance fills the house, which is enough to make everyone outside the house salivate.

But the tribal leaders didn't have much appetite.

Because in the midst of the scene, there was an old acquaintance, Dada!

Dada was dressed in a soap-colored servant costume, extremely humble, and poured wine for Wan Yankang and the guests. If the leaders hadn't known this person for a long time, no one would have imagined that a few days ago, this nodding servant was still a tribal leader.

After three rounds of drinking, Hongda, the head of the Hongji Thorn Department, couldn't help it, and spoke out first: "Your Royal Highness, you invited me to come, I don't know what to order?" ”

The Hongji Thorn Department is now the largest tribe on the grassland except for the Kereh Department and the Qiyan Department, with more than 100,000 people and 20,000 armored warriors.

Wan Yankang saw that Hongda was the first to come out, so he put down the leg of mutton in his hand, wiped his hands with wet wipes, and said: "This time, this handsome invites you to come, just to ask you for a word!" ”

"What?"

"Help Temujin? Or help me? Wan Yankang glanced around, his eyes like electricity.

The battle between the Kereh Department and the Qiyan Department, in the eyes of the leaders, it is not known who will win and who will lose, and Wanyankang's words are clear.

Hongda was shocked when he heard this: "Your Highness, has the beggar department won?" ”

Wan Yankang shook his head and nodded again: "The victory or defeat is not divided for the time being, but according to Ben Shuai, this battle must be won by Temujin!" ”

He paused for a moment, and when he saw that everyone had different expressions, he said again: "There are no two lords in the country, and there are no two days in the sky, and after Temujin wins, there will be a battle with my White Horse City." I invite you to come here today to see what you think! ”

Hongda and the others began to drum in their hearts. These tribal leaders, there is no fool, they said in their hearts, at this time, they are in opposition to Wan Yankang, can they go back to the tribe alive?

Wan Yankang saw that everyone did not say anything, and picked up a bowl of wine: "Today, Ben Shuai invites you to come, all the leaders follow their hearts, whether they help me or not, I will not leave any difficulties in Yan Kang." After speaking, he drank the wine bowl in his hand in one gulp to show his sincerity.

The room was still silent, and Hongda suddenly got up and said, "Your Highness, may I ask Dada a word?" ”

Wan Yankang nodded, signaling him to be casual.

"It is rumored that you were broken by His Highness, is it true or false?"

After Dada's headquarters was destroyed, hundreds of soldiers scattered and fled, and Wan Yankang did not kill them all. When the news spread, Hongda and other tribal leaders were shocked, but they still didn't believe it. At this time, Dada is in front of him, and he can verify that the message has a few percent moisture.

When Dada heard this, he remembered the battle of that day, and immediately trembled, and then he fell to the ground and cried, and finally kowtowed to the six heads one by one, and said in Mongolian: "Your Highness is brave and invincible, the king of eagles, and the sun in the sky. Brothers, don't follow in my footsteps......"
