Volume 2 Tragic Song Chapter 193 Light Riding and Heavy Armor
But helplessly, Qiuzi is the only one who can see these doorways, and most of the rest of the leaders are haunted by yesterday's battle.
After all, yesterday's battle only looked at the situation on the battlefield, and they seemed to have an absolute advantage.
They thought that if they could kill the main force of the Yu coalition in one go, then their 20,000 reinforcements might retreat without a fight.
Even if they don't retreat, when they face the Zi army again, they will be much weaker in terms of momentum.
When Qiuzi heard such remarks, he didn't bother to explain,
Who doesn't daydream, but how can it be as easy as they think to deal with the rapid changes on the battlefield.
The only thing that can make Qiuz feel a little relieved is the attitude of Conan, the leader of the Savage Tribe.
Last night's military meeting, Conan made it clear that no matter who was right or wrong, their savage tribe only listened to the orders of Qiuzi alone.
Conan's attitude directly gave Qiuzi a dose of fierce medicine that Wanfu pointed out, which made the other tribal leaders who were all loyal to the patriarch stop, but Qiuzi understood very well, I am afraid that his command will not be as smooth as before in the future.
Sure enough, just as Qiuzi was observing the camp of Youyu behind the main gate, he saw a cavalry of about 5,000 people rushing out of the camp and galloping eastward.
Qiuzi was shocked, and hurriedly ordered someone to call the leaders of various tribes to inquire about the matter, and after asking, he learned that it was Mang Huchi, the younger brother of the patriarch Erqi, who led the only remaining 5,000 cavalry to find the Yu people to take revenge.
Before leaving, he also asked the people to tell Qiuz:
"Let the coward see how the warriors of Zi screwed off the head of the man with a false head."
After hearing this, Qiuzi did not get angry, but buried a deep grievance and worry in the bottom of his heart.
Two years ago, when he returned to the Zi tribe from the defeat in Guannai, didn't the patriarch exile himself to the southern snowy region because of his defeat?
Although he didn't win the battle yesterday, he was only trapped for a short time and was treated by the patriarch's younger brother without anyone else, how could Qiuzi not be chilled.
In fact, Qiuzi just couldn't think of a way to defeat the Youyu coalition, and this battle might not really be lost.
After all, the Yu people came over the Jade Qi Mountain, how much grain and grass can they carry?
And the people of Z are fighting at home, and there is plenty of food and grass, even if they hold on until the heavy snow will come in the near future, it will be enough to consume the people who are in danger.
It's just that Qiuzi understands that all the leaders under his command are loyal to the patriarch, and if he does this, he is afraid that there will be few responders, and he will inevitably fall into the truth.
Someone with a heart will definitely say to the patriarch that he is afraid of death and is passive in the war,
Qiuzi chose not to tell everyone about this strategy.
But when he watched the five thousand cavalry rushing towards the direction of Youyu's military tent, Qiuzi really felt a trace of despair,
He could only pray that this battle would be won, otherwise, if there were thousands of cavalry missing, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold it in the future.
In desperation, Qiuzi ordered 10,000 troops, and personally led them to follow in the direction where Mang Huchi went.
Before leaving, he left the remaining 10,000 people to guard the camp, and repeatedly warned the leaders who stayed behind to be careful of those behind the camp.
Among the men and horses led by Qiuzi, there were more than 8,000 soldiers of the savage tribe and less than 2,000 soldiers and horses left in his own tribe.
In yesterday's battle, the savage tribe lost less than 2,000 people, but the warriors of their own tribe killed as many as 3,000 people, accounting for nearly forty percent of the total number of people killed in yesterday's battle.
Because among the cavalry that took the lead in rushing to the Yu people yesterday, most of the warriors who took the lead were men and horses of the Qiuzi tribe.
Qiuzi led his army anxiously towards the east, and he could already see clearly that there were Yu people in the distance, and they had sent troops and horses to fight with Mang Hu Chi.
It's just that all of Qiuzi's soldiers and horses are only foot soldiers, so although you can see the battlefield in the distance, it will take a long time to get there.
The strange but unpleasant experience of 10,000 horses hurrying away, and even being able to see the battlefield in the distance while hurrying, made everyone's hearts very anxious.
They didn't understand why he would act in such a foolish way.
At the very least, the cavalry will have to wait for the foot soldiers to arrive before attacking together.
With resentful eyes, the foot soldiers gasped and ran in the direction of the battlefield.
Just running and running, I saw that everyone slowly stopped and looked ahead with incredible eyes.
A thousand paces away, the cavalry of the two sides that were still fighting just now changed the situation in less than half an hour.
Originally, the reckless cavalry wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Yu people had not yet set up a camp wall and broke into the camp in one go.
And his idea of such a surprise attack was indeed unexpected by Xiao Jinxing.
He didn't expect that under the encirclement of the front and rear, he would dare to take the initiative. For a while, Xiao Jinxing was a little confused about the thoughts of the Zi people.
So when the reckless cavalry reached a thousand steps outside the camp of Youyuren, Youyu reacted.
Xiao Jinxing, who learned that only 5,000 cavalry from the Zi people had come to attack, immediately ordered Wentai and Deru, who were regarded as surprise soldiers yesterday but did not play a role, to lead 1,000 cavalry under their command out of the camp to engage in battle.
Only then did he again order his troops to deal with the all-out attack of the Zi people.
"Why would the head of the people do such a stupid thing?"
Xiao Jinxing walked towards the outside of the camp while frowning and thinking about the intentions of the Zi people.
But when Xiao Jinxing came to the front of the formation, he was surprised to find that behind the 5,000 cavalry attacked by the Xing army, there was an army of 10,000 people hurrying over, and he patted his head and guessed the reason why the Zi people used such strange tactics.
It seems that they must have started infighting.
Otherwise, this kind of refueling tactic would not be used even by a three-year-old child who has never fought before.
But since he came to give gifts, Xiao Jinxing was also disrespectful.
Xiao Jinxing was rarely happy, he showed a long-lost smile, and watched the cavalry of Wentai and Deru kill together with the five thousands.
It was still the tactics used against Beidibor, or a set of cold shots of bows and arrows interspersed with back, but it was used to the extreme by the thousand cavalry commanded by Wentai and Deru.
The 1,000 cavalry flexibly protruded from left to right, which made the Ziren cavalry, who had never seen this method of warfare, extremely uncomfortable.
Obviously, he was superior in numbers, but he was pierced behind him by a few spurs of this thousand cavalry, and he changed from active to passive, from killing to being pursued, which made Mang Huchi extremely angry.
Each of the warriors had a feeling of inadequacy, especially when they took off their backs and shot at the thousand cavalrymen, the clanging sound of the arrows being stopped by the armor worn by the cavalry made them even more annoyed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of the five thousand horsemen dressed in sackcloth and animal skins were lying on the steppe, while the thousand armored horsemen did not seem to have a single wounded.
In fact, Youyu still injured more than a dozen people, but it was not so conspicuous against the backdrop of the corpses of the Zi people scattered everywhere in this vast territory.
The cavalry had been entangled by these thousand Yu cavalry for a long time, and seeing that the plan to raid the Yu people could no longer be implemented, and the cavalry of the Yu people had already left the camp and formed a battle formation, Mang Hu Chi immediately ordered a retreat.
At this moment, he somewhat understood how wise Qiuzi's order to retreat was when these thousand armor-piercing cavalry appeared on the battlefield yesterday.
But he was already dumb and had a hard time eating Coptis chinensis, so he had to hang his head and turn his horse's head and run towards the reinforcements who were coming towards him.
At this time, Mang Huchi was already ashamed in his heart, and when he thought about what he said when he was leaving, he didn't know how to explain it after seeing Qiuzi for a while.
It's just that his troubles were quickly dispelled by Youyuren, because just as he ordered the whole army to retreat, thousands of cavalry in front of the Youyu coalition camp had already rushed towards them at full speed.
Mang Huchi was shocked, he hurriedly shouted: "Retreat quickly", and he slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, climbed on the horse's back and ran back at full speed.
Most of these cavalry under his command were warriors who followed their own life and death, so when they saw that their leaders were withdrawing at full speed, they quickly turned their horses and followed Mang Hu Chi to retreat at full speed without waiting for the herald to give the order.
At a lightning speed, more than 4,000 cavalry quickly broke away from the battlefield, although the Yu cavalry was still chasing closely behind.
But their uniform movements and very quick reactions still surprised Xiao Jinxing and the Xiyan brothers.
"People say that the cavalry is the eagle of this grassland, and the mountains and rivers cannot stop their progress.
Today, just by looking at their skill in controlling horses, you can see that this is true. ”
Brother Xiyan opened his mouth and spoke.
And Xiao Jinxing knew that there were Su people who had suffered the losses of the Zi people, so he could let Xiyan Buge praise his enemies, which should really be due to the ability of the Zi people.
It's just that Xiao Jinxing smiled and said:
"Xiyantou people, what Xiao said last night is also true,
Today I'm going to show you the true strength of the Youyu Warriors. ”
Brother Xiyan looked up at Xiao Jinxing who was talking suspiciously, and Xiyan Wanhai beside him hurriedly interjected:
"We have seen clearly the strength of the two warriors Wentai and Deru, and it is really amazing that the warriors can fight against five thousand without falling behind."
Xiao Jinxing smiled slightly after hearing this, he turned his head to look at Xiyan Wanhai and said:
"Xiyantou people, Xiao doesn't want to hear your voice praising Wentai and Deru, you know this, they are destined to only be used as surprise soldiers.
The armor they wore was not something my little tribe could build.
As you can see, only two hundred of the cavalry he brought with him wore armor.
This is already a treasure that I racked my brains for.
What I said just now is to let the two of you know that I have a cavalry, in fact, everyone can be as brave as the warriors led by Wentai and Deru.
If you don't believe it, just read on. ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Jinxing looked at the battlefield in the distance with a smile, watching the changes that the cavalry was forced to choose.
Mang Huchi led more than 4,000 cavalry to get rid of the pursuit of the Yu people in an instant, but after the initial panic, Mang Huchi suddenly discovered another very bad situation.
