Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 2 The Horse and the Kirin
"Blood Phoenix Banner!"
Looking at the banner raised by his side, the three hundred border troops led by Fang Gu were all excited, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Beiyu has a total of 300,000 armored soldiers, including 100,000 iron horsemen.
There are only 10,000 people in the Blood Phoenix Banner, and it has been established until now. The number of the Blood Phoenix Banner has never increased or decreased and finally remained at 10,000, and only the soldiers in the Blood Phoenix Banner are killed or retired, and they will be re-screened and replenished from other armies, so the Beiyu sergeants are all proud to enter the Blood Phoenix Banner. The basic condition for entering the Blood Phoenix Banner is to kill 100 people on the battlefield to be eligible to participate in the screening, which means that the souls of the 10,000 Blood Phoenix Banner cavalry under the knife alone have exceeded one million.
The Beiyu Iron Cavalry has not been defeated in the battlefield for hundreds of years, and is called the Grim Reaper by the enemy, and the Blood Phoenix Banner is the sickle of the Grim Reaper.
This is also the reason why the Northern Desert Border Army is excited to see their own side raising the blood phoenix flag.
……
To say that this Beiyu Hou Mu Qingen is really a strange person.
When he was young, Emperor Long Qian wanted to marry his daughter Princess Changling to Mu Qingen, but Mu Qingen refused directly for the sake of his original wife, you must know that Mu Qingen's original wife was just a maid in the house.
It's a pity that Mu Qingen is so affectionate, but his wife can't bear it, and she left not long after giving birth to a son to Mu Qingen.
Seeing that Mrs. Mu Qingen was deceased, Emperor Long Qian had the idea of giving marriage again, but Mu Qingen refused again.
Emperor Long Qian saw that Mu Qingen refused twice, although he was dissatisfied, it was not good to mention the matter again.
But she didn't expect Mu Qingen's second refusal of the emperor's favor to make Princess Changling fall in love, and felt that only a man like Mu Qingen, who values love and righteousness, is worthy of being her husband, and said that Mu Qingen will not marry in this life.
Later, during the period of Emperor Longshuo, Emperor Longshuo mentioned the matter of marriage again. This time, Situ Changqing, the old lady who was entrusted by the first emperor, did not hesitate to go to Beiyu in person to protect the media in the year of the sixtieth birthday.
This time, Mu Qingen did not refuse, but proposed that Princess Changling could only be a flat wife, and the eldest son of Beiyu could only be Mu Qiuhuang, the son of his deceased wife.
Hearing such a request, Emperor Longshuo of course did not allow it, and was furious and wanted to send troops to Beiyu.
Seeing that the war was about to break out, Princess Changling fell down in the Golden Palace and cried blood to show her heart, and the old lady turned around, so that a big war was avoided.
Besides, after the princess of Changling married to Beiyu, she didn't mind the position of a flat wife, and she made peace with Mu Qingenqinse. Subsequently, he gave birth to a son and a daughter to Mu Qingen, the second son Mu Qiulin and the younger daughter Mu Qiuming.
Although Mu Qingen has two sons, the one who can be called the young master by the Blood Phoenix Banner can only be the eldest son Mu Qiuhuang.
If the appearance of the golden cavalry frightened the group of thieves in Mangdang Mountain, at this moment, when they knew that the army that had been chasing them behind them was actually the Blood Phoenix Banner, they were completely frightened, and stayed between the two teams of men and horses like a goose.
Mu Qiuhuang urged the horse forward, the horse was not fast or slow, and the thieves unconsciously separated to both sides, leaving a passage.
The leader of the black armor took the blood phoenix banner and followed, and the two of them did not go far forward, and stopped no more than twenty meters away from their own team.
On the opposite side, a big man in the general's uniform in the golden cavalry also came out on horseback, followed by a cavalryman waving a banner.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at the other party with a sideways face and did not speak, and the leader of the black armor said in a low voice: "The person opposite is the leader of the Qiyan tribe under the court of the Golden Horde, and he is known as the first warrior of Qiyan. The 1,000 cavalry behind him should have been dressed as golden cavalry. ”
Kuo Kedi glanced at Mu Qiuhuang, turned his gaze to the Blood Phoenix Banner and said disdainfully: "I thought it would be a Golden Phoenix Banner, but I didn't expect it to be just the Blood Phoenix Banner, I knew that it would be good to let that kid come to Tuoba, why bother me to go out in person." In the words of you Central Plains people, this should be 'killing chickens with a knife', right? Haha".
Hearing the provocative words of the enemy, not only did Mu Qiuhuang ignore it, but even the leader of the black armor disdained, if he took off the mask of the leader of the black armor, he would find that the leader of the black armor looked at each other like an idiot.
There is not much difference between the Golden Phoenix Banner and the Blood Phoenix Banner, the only difference is that there is an additional 'Mu' word in the middle of the phoenix flying on the Golden Phoenix Banner. Although it is only one more word, the meaning of the representation is very different, and only one person in the whole world is qualified to play the banner of the Golden Phoenix Banner! That is the contemporary Beiyu Hou Mu Qingen.
The place where the Golden Phoenix Flag appears must be Beiyu Hou in person.
If Mu Qingen was standing here at this moment, even an idiot would know that even if he could defeat ten guts, he would not dare to bring only a thousand people to face Mu Qingen, even if these thousand people were golden cavalry.
Kuo Kedi was a little annoyed when he saw that what he said was ignored by the other party, but when he remembered the explanation of the Golden Horde, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "You are Mu Qingen's sister-in-law Mu Qiuhuang?" My king would like to invite you to the steppe as a guest. ”
"I don't like the barren grasslands, so I won't be a guest, but if the grass grows and the warblers fly next year, I'm interested in hunting."
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Kuo Ke Er and smiled and continued: "It's a pity that Ninggadebu has no chance to be my prey, and I miss their pheasant feathers very much. I don't know if you have any good specialties from the Qiyan tribe, I'll go and get them next year. ”
Every spring, the grassland is rich in water and grass, which is the best season for nomads to graze and breed.
The Beiyu Army also sends troops into the grassland at this time every year, on the one hand, in order to train troops, and on the other hand, to eliminate the living forces of the grassland and prevent them from becoming bigger.
And the Beiyu army called these hunting.
As for the Ninggade tribe in Mu Qiuhuang's mouth, its scale is comparable to that of the Qiyan tribe, but it has brought troops into the country a few months ago. Mu Qingen was angry and beheaded 50,000 people, and after this battle, he was quite annihilated.
Mu Qiuhuang mentioned this matter again, and when he talked about the sore spot of Kuo Kedi, his facial muscles began to stiffen.
"What a sharp-toothed boy, it's just that my king can't help but let you go. Do you see these cavalrymen behind me? They are the most noble golden cavalry on my grassland, and they have not been defeated in the grassland, and they will not leave the golden horde easily. The fact that my king has sent them and me to invite you shows that my king is sincere. After speaking, he waved his hand and prepared to give the command.
"Wait, I still have something to say."
"What? Changed your mind? Kuo Kedi put down his hand raised into the air and looked at Mu Qiuhuang mockingly.
"You're right, the Golden Cavalry has indeed not been defeated in the grassland." Mu Qiuhuang paused for a moment and continued: "But that's just the grassland, in the ninth year of Longshuo, my Beiyu army went into the grassland to hunt, and encountered two thousand golden cavalry, what was the result...... As a result, the golden cavalry that you said had not been defeated was all beheaded by our Beiyu army. ”
"And".
Mu Qiuhuang retorted without waiting for the enemy to continue: "Someone actually compared your so-called golden cavalry with my Beiyu Blood Phoenix Banner. But in my opinion, it's like 'a horse and a unicorn, a cold phoenix and a crow'. By the way, you may not understand the meaning of these two sentences, I mean that the Golden Cavalry and the Blood Phoenix Banner are like unweaned children, and they are not even worthy of carrying their shoes. ”
"The young master is mighty." After listening to Mu Qiuhuang's words, if it weren't for the strict discipline, I was afraid that the black-armored knights would cheer, these words were too long for their own morale. Although they really didn't take the golden cavalry seriously, how could they say such contemptuous words to the other party. Looking at the golden cavalry opposite, their faces were blue with anger.
"May your cavalry be as sharp as your mouth."
"Attack, except for that kid, the rest will not be left." The enemy is able to launch the order.
