The bottom of the ditch was covered with corpses, the grass was soaked with blood and mud, and the shoes were sticky when stepped on, nearly 20,000 people died under the rain of arrows, and more than 10,000 of the Nai's servants were captured, as well as countless cattle and sheep.

Qi Xinwen was cleaning up the battlefield where he had just fought with the Blue Wolf Cavalry, and the corpses of the robes were put together, and after the names were written, they would be burned to ashes and given to their families in clay pots. Qi Xinwen cut off the head of a blue wolf rider and placed it on top of Jingguan. Nearly 1,000 heads piled up in the Jingguan are magnificent, and at the top of the Jingguan, Qi Xinwen personally planted the banner of the Blue Wolf Army.

The auxiliary troops stepped up the arrangement on the basis of the original camp, the trenches were widened and deepened, the horse traps were all over the outside of the camp, the iron thistles were densely sprinkled, the arrow towers and watchtowers were erected, although there were no fences, but the left and right military villages were heavily defended.

Li Man took the blue wolf army back to the place where he camped last night, and the Lu Ya Branch, who had come to his senses, gathered more than 3,000 lost people and searched for him, knelt in front of Liman and cried, swore allegiance to King Liman Khan, and asked King Liman Khan to send troops to avenge the Naifu tribe.

There are less than 10,000 people left in the entire Naifu tribe, and they are not even small tribes on the grassland, and they may be swallowed up by other tribes at any time.

While talking, there was a lot of noise outside, and the Badai and Saman tribes led people to come, which was the object that Liman wanted to woo. Regardless of Lu Yazhi, Li Man personally went out of the account to greet him, Lu Ya Zhi was cheeky and followed closely behind Li Man, at this moment, only the king of Li Man Khan had a glimmer of life in the servants.

In the middle of the night, the Badai and Saman tribes launched a sneak attack on the Zheng army's camp, and hundreds of corpses were dropped by a crossbow arrow, and the desert people retreated. The next day was calm and everyone spent peacefully in waiting. On the third day, Qu Guidao rushed to the Wuena River with 90,000 soldiers from the Liman Division, and 200,000 desert horsemen gathered together with great momentum. In the evening, Zheng's Chinese army arrived, and at sunset, the smoke of the two armies was wafering over the grassland, and a great battle that would decide the fate of the grassland was about to break out.

In Li Man's sweat tent, Li Man held the golden cup proudly and said to more than ten little sweat kings on both sides: "Drink wine today, and tomorrow we will work together to drive the Zheng people out of the grassland, and by the way, take a trip to the Central Plains to grab some women and belongings and come back." ”

The atmosphere in the big tent was warm, everyone responded with a bang, Zheng Guo's women, silk, wine, and tea are the favorite of the people of the Northern Desert, if you can catch the Zheng Emperor, these things are everything. Qu Zhidao sat alone in the corner of the tent, the shadow of the candlelight obscuring his figure, and he looked coldly at the people in the tent.

At the end of the feast, Li Man sent everyone away, returned to the tent and asked Qu Rebellion: "Master, do you think these people can be used by me?" ”

Qu Guidao sneered: "The rules on the grassland speak with strength, speak with bravery, you have 100,000 soldiers and 10,000 blue wolf army, Lu Yazhi tried his best to publicize the results of your battle with Zheng Cai, some of these people do have the intention of taking refuge, but it is still a little hot to subdue the two big tribes of Badai and Saman." ”

"Tomorrow in the battle with the Zheng army, I will lead the blue wolf to charge and kill for a while, so that they can see how powerful I am."

The arrival of the brigade, Li Man selected strong men from them to make up for the wolf ride, thinking that after subduing the tribes such as Badai, his own control of the strings will reach more than 200,000, the strength of the strength of Kunbo, Li Man felt full of spirit, full of pride.

Qu reversed the road and poured a basin of cold water, "You don't steal chickens and rice, and you will be killed and defeated by the Zheng people, I am afraid that Ba Dai and the Saman tribe will still be waiting to annex you." ”

Li Man calmed down and said, "What the master said is that I got a little carried away. I asked Lu Yazhi carefully, Zheng Jun's bow and crossbow are indeed good, but there is no need to be afraid if you can rush to Zheng Jun's approach. Tomorrow, I will let a small tribe like Luoba attack first, and the two tribes of Badai and Saman will be on the left and right flanks, and the blue wolf will be hidden behind, and then kill when they get close to Zheng Jun, which should be able to teach Zheng Jun a lesson. ”

"Zheng Jun dares to go north to cut down the desert, there must be something to rely on", Qu Zhidao muttered: "I don't know what it is? Winch crossbows, repeaters, rockets, these things have already been used, what else? There was no leakage of any news. Liman, you have to be more careful, don't break the blue wolf ride, lose the foundation of your life, it's best not to use the blue wolf ride in tomorrow's battle. ”

Zheng Ying's golden luan tent is brightly lit. The Son of Heaven listened to Miao Tieshan and Qi Xinwen's report on the military situation with an excited face, and learned that he had killed a thousand wolf riders, beheaded a thousand cavalry commanders of the blue wolf army, killed more than 20,000 people in the servant department, captured more than 10,000 people, and captured countless cattle and sheep, Shi Fangzhen laughed and said: "This is a big victory, the first major achievement of the Northern Expedition, Miao Qing and Qi Qing have made great contributions, and I will be rewarded after returning to the division." ”

Miao Tieshan and Qi Xinwen got up to thank him, and Shi Fang Zhen said: "Tomorrow in a decisive battle with the desert people, I will come to the battlefield in person and cheer for the soldiers." ”

Wang Keming felt bitter in his heart, the Son of Heaven's move seemed to encourage morale, but there were no eyes on the battlefield, and if the Son of Heaven was injured, no one could bear the responsibility. But seeing that Shi Fangzhen's face was full of excitement, no one dared to stop his interest, and he was only protected by Shi Duo's masters. After coming out of the Jinluan Treasure Tent, Wang Keming, Miao Tieshan and Qi Xinwen went to the Shuai Tent to discuss for half a night, and considered all kinds of contingency measures before they dispersed.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, the sun shines brightly over the Wuena River, the sound of war drums and trumpets resounded all over the world, more than 100,000 people spread the green grassland with black, gray, brown, yellow and other mottled colors, swords and guns shine with cold light, flags flutter like a forest, and the murderous spirit scatters the clouds.

Shi Fangzhen looked at the opposite side under the escort of the generals, and the desert cavalry lined up in a line more than three miles wide, like an iron wall, and the pressure of Sen Sen was suffocating from the air. Subconsciously looked left and right, Zheng Qi beside him was wearing Mingguang armor and holding a saber, all of them were majestic and heroic, and their aura was lofty, not losing to the opposite Mo Qi, Shi Fang was really a lot more settled, and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers, Wang'er and others are brave enough to kill the enemy, and I should personally beat the drum and cheer." ”

Wang Keming took the lead in shouting: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" The shouts came from near and far, and the shouts of nearly 100,000 people were earth-shattering, and the blood boiled in Shi Fangzhen's ears, this shouting was much more beautiful than that of the civil and military ministers above the Golden Palace, this is the shout that the Son of Heaven should hear.

Shi Fangzhen raised the horsewhip in his hand high, signaled to the army, the shouting became more and more deafening, and Li Man on the opposite side said with envy and sarcasm: "Emperor Zhengren is really funny, he regards the grassland as his golden palace, let the iron horse of the desert make him sober and sober." Jitu, take the warriors of your tribe and teach Emperor Zheng a lesson. ”

Ji Tu agreed loudly, drew his scimitar and urged his horse to come to his tribe, his tribe was on the left, and with an order, the 20,000 cavalry of the Saman tribe roared towards the Zheng army.

Shi Fangzhen was so excited by the shouts of Banzai that he saw the desert cavalry on the opposite side come out, and shouted loudly: "I want to beat the drum myself to cheer for the soldiers." ”

Last night, the Son of Heaven said that he was cheering with drums, and the Son of Heaven had no jokes, whether it was true or not, Wang Keming and others were prepared. The red-edged cowhide drum was carried in front of Shi Fangzhen by four warriors, and Shi Fangzhen jumped off his horse, picked up the drumstick and beat it the drum. Shi Fangzhen knew how to beat the drum, and after a few "dong dong" sounds, the "rumbling" war drums sounded in the Zheng army's array, and the real attack order sounded.

Hearing the sound of drums, Qi Xinwen on the right flank of the Zheng army replaced the military order with a saber, the saber raised his front finger, and Zheng rode towards the desert cavalry like a flood. Before the people engaged, the rain of arrows began first, and countless arrows only intertwined under the clear sky, weaving a great net of death.

The sound of the feather arrow "swishing" through the long air is getting closer and closer, and a stray arrow flies past Shi Fangzhen's side, Shi Fangzhen was shocked, seeing that the stray arrows became dense, Shi Fangzhen stiffened his scalp. Wang Keming said respectfully: "Long live, please move to the viewing platform, all the soldiers saw Long Live watching the battle in person, and naturally fought bravely to kill the enemy." ”

A two-zhang high wooden platform was erected in the array, Shi Fangzhen ascended the high platform accompanied by Wang Keming, there were two zhang square circles on the top of the platform, and there were tall shields of the dragon guards standing around, and the guards under the wooden platform were strict. Shi Fangzhen took the stage to watch, and the situation on the battlefield was in full view, the light cavalry led by Qi Xinwen and the horse team of the indifferent people were fighting together, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while.

Li Man saw a high platform erected in the Zheng army, and Emperor Zheng, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes, stood on the high platform to watch the battle, and said with a smile: "Master, Emperor Zheng is looking for death, standing on the high platform and there is nowhere to hide, I want to lead the blue wolf to rush to the bottom of the high platform to capture Emperor Zheng Ren, and this battle will not have to be fought again." is that he can't catch the dog emperor, as long as he steps down to dodge, Zheng Junjun's heart will be the enemy, and this battle will be won. ”

Qu Zhidao's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, Li Man said well, Emperor Zheng ascended the high platform to reveal the target, how to look at it is also a mistake, the blue wolf is extremely brave, it is possible to rush to the bottom of the high platform in one go, if you can really catch Emperor Zheng, the revenge of destroying the door may be avenged today.

"You let the Badai tribe also attack, I guess the Zheng people will shoot with crossbow arrows first, and after the crossbow arrows stop, you let the 20,000 troops try to attack, and the blue wolf army hides behind, looking for an opportunity to rush to the high platform, and do not attack." Qu Zhidao admonished.

Li Man nodded and ordered Su Lu Man to lead his troops to charge. The Badai department is on the right, and he is facing the Miao Tieshan department. Seeing Mo Cai rushing forward, Miao Tieshan did not move like a mountain, and saw Mo Cai enter the range of 100 steps, and ordered: "Winch crossbow shooting." ”

The thick crossbow bolts pierced out with a sharp roar, shooting the galloping horses backwards and back, slamming heavily into the horses behind, and the ten crossbows shot ten gaps in front of the advancing horsemen. The offensive of the desert cavalry stagnated, and Su Lu shouted: "It is not easy for the Zheng people's crossbow arrows to be fired, everyone is forward, as long as they approach, they are not afraid." ”

The Desert Cavalry regrouped and rushed forward like a tide, and sure enough, the fifty-step crossbow bolts were fired again, causing very few casualties to the Desert Cavalry. Seeing that Mo Qi had entered thirty steps, Miao Tieshan shouted: "Shoot with a crossbow." ”

Five thousand crossbows were divided into five rows by Miao Tieshan, with a thousand people in each row. Thousands of people shot crossbows, each repeater had at least three crossbow arrows, and 15,000 crossbow arrows made more than 1,000 people in the Badai tribe fall.

The rest of the desert cavalry was only more than ten steps away from the Zheng army's front, and Miao Tieshan shouted: "Erect a shield, stand a spear, and meet it." ”

The Great War is coming.
