Tens of thousands of horses' hooves shook the earth, the ground trembled gently, and the dust and smoke were surging like waves. Zhu Jinfeng sneered, staring closely at the approaching desert horse, the 40,000 light riders beside him were like a copper wall, and they did not move in the face of the surging desert horses.

Jiang Anyi secretly admired in his heart, in the past few years, the training of the camp in the north of the town has been fruitful, in the face of the overwhelming desert cavalry army, it can not move like a mountain, judging from the number of desert cavalry, there are only more than 20,000 people, our army has more strikes and fewer battles and the battle is advantageous, and the victory of this contact is in sight.

Seeing that Mo Qi was about to arrive outside Lixu, Zhu Jinfeng ordered in a loud voice: "Prepare the bow and crossbow." ”

An order fell like a mountain, and 40,000 light horsemen picked up their bows and arrows together, pointing at the approaching desert horsemen. Jiang Anyi was no exception, bending his bow and holding the arrow, holding it flat in front of him, ready to shoot. The range of Zheng Jun's stone bow is between 100 and 150 paces, and the distance of one mile is about 300 steps, and in a few moments, the desert cavalry will enter the range of the firing.

Jiang Anyi calculated that this kind of indiscriminate rain of arrows could send out three to five rounds, and there were more than 10,000 crossbows and bows within twenty paces of the desert cavalry, and under normal circumstances, the desert cavalry engaged our army with at least more than 1,000 casualties. Although the bow horse of the desert man is skillful, the bow power of shooting from the bottom of the slope is insufficient, and our army has a shield to protect the body, so the operation caused is not large. Compared with the two, the desert people are at a disadvantage, if they can seize the opportunity, rush to kill for a while, and defeat the desert cavalry, the rest is to chase the deserters.

When the desert rider was about to enter the range of Lixu, it suddenly spread out to the left and right, like flowing water hitting the riverbank, scattering and expanding. Zhu Jinfeng frowned, Mo Qi did not rush up recklessly, and his plan to block with a bow and arrow was afraid that it would fail. After thinking about it quickly, Zhu Jinfeng ordered: "Slowly approaching, spreading left and right." ”

Jiang Anyi galloped forward with the brigade, the horses went downhill and the footsteps were brisk, and the people and horses of the brigade ran faster and faster, rushing towards the desert horse. There was a trumpet whistle from the ranks of the desert people, and the whole desert cavalry turned their horses' heads and retreated backwards like a low tide, and the two armies were separated by a distance of two hundred and sixty-seven paces.

Zhu Jinfeng was a little anxious, the horse team had already started, and it was a downhill charge, unable to stop the advance. The 40,000 light cavalry led by him has just passed a forty-mile march, but after a short rest, it is actually a tired army, if it is led by the nose of the desert people to run out of twenty miles, the people and horses are exhausted, and the desert cavalry will return to charge and kill again, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.

"Yan Jiancai, Li Guanghe, Shi Renhua, Sun Minghui, the four of you each led 3,000 men and horses, formed a phalanx, pursued for ten miles, and if you can't meet the enemy, you will stop and retreat. The rest of the army followed his commander, slowed down his pace, and as a countermeasure, he was careful to reverse at any time. Zhu Jinfeng casually ordered: "When the baggage army arrives, quickly set up a camp, first build the wall arrow tower, and set up a winch crossbow, just in case." ”

The flag waved, the army was like an arm, Yan Jiancai and the other four people led the team to rush forward like arrows, while the other light horsemen formed a huge phalanx and slowly pursued forward.

…………

At two o'clock, Suluman, the Khan of the Badai Tribe, received a report that Zheng Jun had appeared fifty miles to the south, and before he could order to focus on his troops, the scouts came one after another to report that Zheng troops appeared in the east, north, and west, and the Zheng army in each direction was more than 50,000.

Sulu was like being struck by lightning, and the situation of the servant department was reproduced in his own tribe, and the Zheng army came to take the Ba Dai department prepared

Engulfed in one fell swoop. Forced himself calmly ordered: "Blow the trumpet, summon the chiefs of the tribes and the captains of the thousand horsemen to my tent, and inform the warriors to prepare and protect their families and property." Let the troops pack up and be ready to break through with the army at any time. ”

Outside the tent, the horn sounded and a cacophony abounded. Su Lu Man took the mare's milk wine on the table and drank it all, forcing himself to calm down, Zheng was surrounded by an army twice as large as his own, and it was impossible to retreat with his whole body, and now he could only take advantage of the fact that Zheng's army was not firmly footed and led the warriors in the tribe to fight out of the encirclement, as for those old and weak women and children, I am afraid that they will not be able to take care of it.

Thinking of this, Su Lu Man was twisted in his heart, he shouldn't be lucky, and brought his troops to Laena Valley to graze, now two thousand miles away from the royal court, and there is no big tribe nearby to help, this time the Badai Department is afraid that it will be a big injury. Throwing the golden bowl in his hand to the ground, Su Lu scolded hatefully: "Liman child, if you hadn't forced each other hard, why would I have taken the risk of coming to Laena." ”

Seven years ago, the Zheng army encircled and suppressed the three tribes of Naifu, Badai and Saman on the bank of the Wuena River, and Liman led the wolf cavalry to come to the rescue, most of the Naifu tribe was annihilated by the Zheng army, and the Badai and Saman tribes withdrew to the grassland with the Liman tribe. Liman used the trick of canal and reverse road to attract and divide small tribes, on the one hand, he used the resources in his hands to lure and use, and on the other hand, he used the hands of Zheng Jun to suppress the disobedient tribes, and in six years, tens of thousands of people in the Badai and Saman tribes were successively picked up by the Liman tribe.

Last winter, it snowed heavily in the desert, and Liman forcibly requisitioned a large amount of pasture from the two tribes on the grounds that the royal court had ordered the unified distribution of pasture, so that it became difficult for the two tribes to survive the winter.

The Laena Valley is a famous good pasture on the grassland, because it is close to the Zhengren's Zhenbei City, which is gradually abandoned, but Su Luman feels that his tribe is more than 100,000, and the number of people who control the strings is nearly 50,000. Even if Zheng Jun comes with a hundred thousand light cavalry, he doesn't have to be afraid, if hundreds of thousands of troops move, he should be able to get the news and withdraw as soon as possible.

It has only been half a month since the Badai Department came to the Laena Valley, and the cattle and sheep have gained a lot of weight, and Su Lu thought that when the grassland is warm and the grass grows in spring in April, Zheng Jun should be able to march, and he took his troops to the west ten days in advance, and did not worry about pasture grass along the way, so he simply completed the unfulfilled wish seven years ago, and crossed the Heluo Mountain, too lazy to care about the battle between the Badu Department and the Zheng people. Su Lu didn't dare to be careless, and placed the scout cavalry fifty miles south of Laena, but he didn't expect that Zheng Jun would actually divide his troops in the snow and surround himself in the Laena Valley.

The leaders of the various departments and the commanders of the thousand cavalry arrived one after another, Su Lu Man did not talk nonsense, and said in a few words that the Zheng army was surrounded by about 200,000 people, and the tent suddenly complained, Su Lu Man raised his legs and kicked down the table in front of him, and scolded: "The enemy army is approaching, life and death are coming, what is the use of complaining about heaven and people here, and what complaints are there to escape from life." ”

The leader of the Tutun tribe is an old man in his sixties, and Su Luman is very polite to him on weekdays, and at this time he reprimanded the old man: "Great Khan, it's not me who complains, I wanted to follow the Liman Khan at the beginning, and the Liman Khan promised to give up the Chabu grassland to the Tutun tribe for grazing, if you didn't forcibly pull the Tutun tribe here, how could it be surrounded by the Zheng army." ”

fig

There were several small tribes beside Tunbu who were also talking to each other, with a look of resentment. Sulu glanced at the chief of the guard, Baer, who understood, stepped in front of the leader of the Tutun tribe, grabbed him by the placket of his shirt and lifted him up, and the short knife in his hand flashed and stabbed him in the chest. Ba'er let go of his hand, and the old man fell to the ground with a struggle, his hands and feet twitching, and the people around him were so frightened that they quickly dodged to the sides.

Su Lu Man sneered: "On weekdays, when he eats meat and drinks wine with Ben Khan, he talks happily, and when he encounters something, he avoids it, what does such a person want him to do, if any of you want to follow Liman Khan like him, you might as well tell me." ”

Everyone shook their heads again and again, and said in unison: "I am willing to obey the orders of the Great Khan." ”

Su Luman's eyes fell on a young man on the right, and said: "Lu Yatao, your father Khan died in the hands of Zheng Ren, haven't you always wanted to take revenge for blood, and today is the time for revenge." In addition to your 3,000 cavalry, I will give you another 10,000 light cavalry, while the Zheng army is not firmly established, you rush to the west to open a bloody road, and I will come with the rest of the troops. ”

Lu Yatao stroked his chest and said: "I am willing to drive for the Great Khan and avenge my father Khan." ”

The desert cavalry was as swift as the wind, and the thirteen,000 light cavalry were quickly prepared, and Lu Yatao led these men to the west to kill. The 3,000 blood plundering team around Lu Yatao is the remnant of the servant department, and it is also the root of the comeback of the servant department.

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Lu Yahao beside him asked. Lu Yahao is Lu Yatao's younger brother, when Zheng Jun encircled and suppressed the servants, Lu Yazhi let his two sons break through and escape with 5,000 elites.

Lu Yatao said in a sullen voice: "Take one step at a time." Sulu was not at ease, and wanted us to make a bloody way for him, so he could escape. We try not to fight hard with Zheng Jun, looking for an opportunity to escape, if we can bring these more than 10,000 people out of the encirclement, there is hope for the revival of the servants. ”

When the light cavalry walked out of about twenty miles, he saw the Zheng army blocking in front like an iron wall, and Lu Yatao was nominally the commander, but in fact he could only command the 3,000 people of the servants. Seeing Zheng Jun from afar, before Lu Yatao could speak, Le Linbu, the commander of the 10,000 cavalry on the side, shouted an order: "Separate from the left and right, don't enter the range of the Zheng army, and lead the Zheng army down to pursue." ”

The sound of the horn separated from the left and right like flowing water, and sure enough, the Zheng army was pursued downhill, and Le Lingbu ordered again: "Retreat." ”

Mo Cai retreated backwards without hurrying, Lu Yatao was at the back of the team, and after seeing Zheng Jun go downhill, the army highlighted four arrows and chased closely, and the Zheng cavalry of the brigade maintained its horsepower and hung far behind.

When the horses ran out of ten miles or so, Le Linbu ordered: "Turn back and fight back, crush the Zheng army's pursuit team, and then outflank the Zheng army's brigade from the left and right." ”

At the sound of the horn, the desert horsemen reined in their horses, and Le Limbou waved the machete in his hand and shouted: "Long arrows are fired." ”

Countless sharp arrows soared into the air, and these arrows were no longer the stone arrows and bone arrows of the past, but the three-edged iron arrows bought from the Western Regions. When Yan Yancai saw that Mo Qi stopped, he shouted an order, "The shield is ready, and the archers shoot." ”

The arrows fired by both sides only intertwined into a tight net in the air, and the horses neighed under the large net, the blood stained the earth, and the song of death began to play.
