Chapter 177: Killing (2)
(Ask for a monthly pass, it's about to enter the middle of the month, I know that everyone doesn't have a lot of monthly passes, but Acao still has to ask the children's shoes with a monthly pass to vote for the monthly pass to Beixiong.) )
Led five hundred Sui troops to the vicinity of the Great Lake, and Li Po began to focus.
In fact, he knew very well that this outing, in addition to those tasks, was actually a test.
The test from Cheng Li Jing of Mayi County.
The survival of the fittest in the gate valve, especially the Kansai gate valve, at this time undoubtedly shows its unique cruelty, the more valued the young children, the more they have to go through thousands of difficulties and dangers.
Those who climb up are not easy to mess with, and those who can't climb up can survive even if they accumulate virtue on their ancestors.
The Kansai Gate Valve, with the cold law of the jungle, proudly tells everyone that they are so powerful, and their bloodline inheritance has always carried a strong factor.
Therefore, his teacher sent a secret letter to Li Bi, strictly ordering her to let Li Po lead the troops alone, and Li Bi was not allowed to equip him with any veteran who was familiar with cavalry warfare as an auxiliary.
Five hundred lives, Li Jing's loss, a student, even if it is a future son-in-law, is not a big deal to die in the north.
It's a pity that as an old man who is not a good woman, only loves military books, and is already in his forties, he will not understand how unreliable a woman who falls in love is.
People quietly sold their father, and told Li Po clearly about the cause and effect.
What is a little bit of face for her father is that she let Li Po choose by herself, what to do is more appropriate.
Li Po didn't disappoint her, and he didn't bring those old people in the army, just right. In the days leading up to the departure, the thief will have prestige in the army. The more savvy and capable guys were all gathered.
There was a lively discussion about the various details of the cavalry operations.
As a moderator. Li Po guided the discussion very well, and continued to supplement his nutrition.
After that, he felt a little redundant, after such a long time of military life, the use of cavalry is almost already clear, no matter how much, it can only be learned in the battle formation, not hearsay.
And he doesn't think so. The scattered tribes in the grassland in the clouds would pose much of a threat to the Sui cavalry he led.
Unless, he leads people further north, to compete with the Turks, or...... The Turks moved south very quickly and came across a ......
In fact, in the vast grassland, it is not easy to find people, like him, he took people to gallop for two days. only to find a tribe.
With a guide, the process is a little faster, but it's not as fast as many people think, in a day. The chances of running into two tribes are small and small.
And this big lake, there are four tribes divided into one side. They basically broke away from the nomadic life of the steppe people and settled here.
This shows how strong they are. But this is where the struggle arises.
This lake is as attractive as a magnet. Because there are not many places suitable for people to live in this way, just like the fairy mountain blessed land of the grassland people.
The luck of the Sui army is very good, and it is not a little bit stronger than their emperor.
……………………………………
On this day in mid-April, the sky is clear and the geese are calling in the sky.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was leading his troops to hurry, and in the west, which was not too far away, a group of Sui troops pretending to be Turks were hiding in a sparse woods, probing their brains to watch the battle.
On the grassland in the distance, countless tribal warriors swung their horses and swords, and fierce battles were in full swing.
This is a battlefield of tribal warfare, although there are few people, but it is not even a little duller than the war between the Sui and the Turks, and the cruelty is even excessive, because the losing side will not have a chance to start over.
The standard way of fighting of the steppe tribes, when the main forces meet in a narrow way, they are not the same as the Central Plains and the Turks, they will stop and send a team of fighters to carry out bloody wars of attrition.
Of course, this is not that they like to see blood, or to show their fearlessness and bravery.
This is because they are all dressed similarly, and if they get into a scuffle, they are very likely and will definitely not be able to distinguish between friend and foe, and then the scene of cannibalism will appear.
This is the result of poverty, they do not have the ability to be like the Turks and Sui people, have a relatively uniform dress, standard weapons and other distinctive styles to distinguish between friend and foe.
So you can only choose such a cruel way to carry out the decisive battle.
They are fighting for the ownership of the pasture and the lake, which is also equivalent to the right to live, there is no winning or losing, the winner has everything, the loser loses everything, it's as simple as that.
The two groups of people killed selflessly and devotedly.
The scimitar was constantly waving, the arrows were roaring through the air, and from time to time someone was spraying blood, falling off the horse, rolling on the grass, and the broken arm could be seen everywhere.
Their companions watched indifferently from the rear, and when there were fewer and fewer people on the battlefield, and the cheers of the victors rang out, the victorious ones could then gather their spoils, most of them swords and arrows, and then lead the horses that wandered around them back to their arrays.
And then the next wave of people rushes up, and so on and so forth.
They fought so selflessly that they were unaware of the catastrophe that was coming.
But they can't be blamed, they are determined to win this fertile grassland, they can't see farther, and they don't understand what the general trend of the world is.
So, they chose the wrong time for this bloody battle.
The four tribes, all of whom participated in the war, plus the allies who were invited, numbered about a thousand, and the strong adult warriors of their respective tribes were also here.
After watching in the woods for a while, Li Po didn't feel that he had seen a rare scene on the grassland, and he didn't feel satisfied with his luck, so he quickly lost interest.
A war of attrition without any technical content, any Sui general will drag the enemy here, and then go to sneak attack the enemy's empty rear, these guys are too sincere.
Now it seems that there is only one thing left, and that is to wait patiently.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the two opponents were exhausted, and they finally stared at the blood-red eyes, gasping and stopped, looking at the opponent, wondering if the enemy still had the strength, whether it was time to rest, wait for tomorrow to decide the winner, or use the last strength to knock the opponent to the ground.
In the woods, Li Po waved his hand and turned over on his horse.
This was the signal to attack, and then Li Po pulled out the scimitar that was not very easy, waved it above his head, and roared, "Rush over, kill them, and leave no one behind." ”
A group of Sui knights rode their horses out of the woods, and soon they skillfully lined up in several rows of arrays, slowly loosening the reins of the horses, kicking and beating the horse's belly, running faster and faster, and finally entering a state of wild running.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded densely, and finally joined together, sounding dull and intimidating.
The wind whistled in Li Po's ears, and he undoubtedly rushed to the front of the queue.
Li Po knew that this was a more death-seeking position, but there was no way, generally speaking, the cavalry battle was so fucked, of course, it was not ruled out that he was too small and did not bring many people.
However, as the arrows of the cavalry and the guide of the direction of the charge, the cavalry generals must take the lead.
Therefore, as long as it is not a fierce and unpleasant guy, the generals are reluctant to make themselves too conspicuous, such as taking a long lance, or wearing a big red cloak, and making the armor bright or something.
In that case, there is no guarantee that your own people will be able to see you, but the enemy will see it anyway.
As a result, you will meet the most dense rain of arrows, the most shameless group fights, and all the enemies will want to cut off your head at the first time when they see you, and go back to receive the reward.
Well, if you think you have enough luck and a martial artist like Lu Bu, let's just assume that we haven't said anything.
On the lively battlefield before, there was an instant calm, and then a crazy curse sounded.
The steppe people's curses were monotonous, and they begged their gods to punish these shameless enemies or something, well, they all thought it was a conspiracy of the other party.
So they turned their horses' heads around and began their escape.
But after a day of fighting, their horses were as tired as the knights on the horses, of course, as a general of the Sui army who thought he was quite good, Li Po did not forget to send someone to block the escape route.
And drove them to the lake.
The chase is fled, and so on.
In the grassland war, there are not many such ambush battles, and the unique open terrain of the grassland makes it difficult for the word total annihilation to appear perfectly.
This is barely the first time Li Po has actually commanded the cavalry to fight, and the previous one does not count.
It can only be said that it is remarkable, there are a lot of fish that have slipped through the net, and dozens of people have escaped from the sparse encirclement, and they will not run away to the grassland.
Everything looks a little messy, and the scene of beating the water dogs is a little rougher.
Li Po did not give the order to pursue, according to his previous order, the Sui cavalry that came from three sides gradually combined to form an uneven arc and swept over.
The process of cutting down the enemies one by one under the horses lasted for almost half an hour, until they came to the lake, and more than a dozen warriors of the steppe tribe who were surrounded by them finally jumped off their horses, threw down their weapons, and chose to surrender.
"Ask them who speaks Chinese."
There are only three people in the ranks, and the Chinese dialect is indeed a bit difficult to learn, and the Turkic language of the steppe is the mainstream.
Li Po hooked his hand and motioned for them to come over, the same question, "Where is the nearest tribe?" You know? ”
No one spoke, and although they became captives, the eyes of several people were still full of hatred.
Li Po didn't talk nonsense, pointed to the companions behind them, and cut down, a series of screams sounded, and the grass by the lake added some bright red. (To be continued.) )
