Chapter 7: Counterattack
Lan Ziyi led the Tao brothers to help the surrounding Murowei people rescue their tribe.
People lined up from the creek to the tribe, and handed buckets of water.
The water went to the rushing fire brigade, trying to extinguish the tents that could still be saved.
Some people rushed into the tent desperately to save their finances,
But more tents were lit into flaming torches,
In addition to this, the organized Murowei people rode on horses and patrolled the herds of beasts and horses.
Drive the herds that have not been plundered together, so that the herds do not scatter and suffer greater losses.
Older children take care of their younger siblings, while others help the adults with disaster relief.
Women care for the wounded, treat wounds and care for the sick.
By the time the situation was under control, the sky had already begun to turn white.
Lan Ziyi, who had been busy all night, was blackened with smoke and red eyes,
He found the wounded Kokuo, surrounded by Timoshenko and a kind of tribal leader,
The arrow struck the broad ribs,
The witch medicine of the tribe cut through small pieces of flesh to remove the barbed arrows.
Kuokuo bit the gauze, and his whole body spasmed as the witch doctor pulled out the arrow,
After cleaning the wound and applying the medicine, Kuokuo looked at the leaders around him, gasped and asked:
"How big is the loss?"
Someone said:
"The horse thief must have sneaked in beforehand, all the pens were opened, and when the fire began, the horse thief took advantage of the chaos to drive away all the animals that had escaped. The herd has also suffered heavy losses, and we don't have many horses left. β
Kuokuo sighed and asked again:
"What about our sons?"
Someone replied:
"A lot of good fighters died, and a lot of women and children were taken away. This time we lost a lot. β
Looking at the surrounding tribes that were burned to ashes, Kuokuo fell silent for a while,
I don't know who said:
"There is also a Murowe tribe close to us, we can go to them and let them help us."
Someone retorted:
"That Murowei tribe has always wanted to annex us, and now that it has been, isn't it a sheep's mouth?"
Someone else said; οΌ
"We can go to the court of the Gauge for help, the new Akkugai Khan is not on shaky foundation, and he needs to have a tribe to support him."
"But we have lost the herds and horses, how shall we get to the royal court? What should I do if I encounter other horse thieves along the way? β
"It's better than waiting here to die. If we continue to stay here, hunger will kill each and every one of us."
"Why don't we go to Taisho in the south of Middle-earth, and it is said that their emperor will settle the surrendered tribes."
"Enough!" Kuokuo roared, and because the arrow had just been pulled out, this roar made Kuokuo's face look more and more bloodless.
After a violent cough, Kuokuo said:
"Don't forget, we are Murowei people, we are the eagles of the grassland, even if we are injured, we will not wag our tail and beg for mercy like a dog! Whether it's the Oi Kugai or the Taisho Emperor, they need us because our tribe can fight well, and now we
Dying, who will take in our sick cat? β
Then Kuokuo looked at Timoshenko and asked:
"My son, what are your plans?"
Timoshenko stared at his father tightly, and squeezed the words out of his teeth word by word:
"I said we're going to get revenge now!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around them looked sideways, but Lan Ziyi smiled on the side.
Someone said:
"Timoshenko, have you been stupid in the head? You told us to take revenge, but now we have just been badly wounded, we have no horses, no hands, how can we take revenge? What to take revenge? β
"Even you think revenge is impossible, and the horse thief thinks it's impossible!" Lan Ziyi shouted.
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Lan Ziyi's side,
Lan Ziyi walked to Kuokuo's side under the gaze of everyone and said:
"Chief, no matter whether it is the royal court in the east or the Taisho in the south, no one who wants to take refuge has the ability to go there, and staying here is waiting for death. Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, why not fight for it? Went to rob the horse thief? The leader and the tribe camped here last night, and did not notice the horse thief, so it can be seen that the horse thief is not too close; Before it was dark at night, the horse thieves came to rob the camp, and it was evident that it was not far away. You Murowei people hunt in the prairie all year round, and now there is still snow on the ground, can't you find each other's whereabouts? The horse thieves robbed the camp last night, and they received a lot of resistance, and they came and went, and at this time they must have been sleepy and tired, and they thought that we would not pursue, so they must be resting at the station now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! β
Timoshenko walked up to Lan Ziyi and said to Kuokuo:
"The horse thieves know that we have suffered heavy losses, and if we don't kill this gang before we can, and wait until they recruit more horse thieves, won't we be exterminating? Just like Ziyi said just now, if we fight now, we can attack it by surprise and snatch back everything we have lost, and even more can be snatched back. If we wait like this any longer, we'll be really finished! β
Kuokuo looked at Timoshenge and Lan Ziyi standing in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Just do as you say! Take everyone you can with you and go! Immortal Heaven will bless you, my child! β
Hearing this, Timoshenge nodded, turned around and saw Lan Ziyi,
The two looked at each other and nodded, after which Timoshengo turned to gather his men.
Lan Ziyi turned his head and asked:
"Are our horses and luggage still there?"
Tao Zhulu replied:
"The people of Murowei left our horses and luggage near the big tent, and they didn't lose it."
Peach Rabbit asked:
"Young master, do you want to help them chase the horse thief? You've already given them ideas, not to mention that you're a scholar and can't ride a horse to cut people at all. β
Lan Ziyi asked Tao Zhulu to take the lead to lead the horse, and said:
"The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, everyone meets each other, but the leader is so hospitable, I can't live up to the kindness of others. What's more, we won't be able to leave at all if we don't kill this group of horse thieves outside, so now, you just have to be my bodyguard and take me to charge into battle, and stop talking about these useless things. β
Seeing Lan Ziyi's tough tone, Tao Zhutu didn't dare to say more, and went to lead the horse to pack up the equipment.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Timoshenko quickly gathered a crowd,
It is said that as many people as you can bring with you, but in fact, in addition to the people who must be kept, you can make up 300 people.
Lan Ziyi put on a vest, wrapped a layer of white robe and rode on a horse.
He had a sword hanging from his waist to defend himself.
The Tao brothers were also fully armed and followed behind Lan Ziyi on horseback.
Timoshenko led the men and horses to follow the trail of the horse thief,
Although the horse thieves deliberately destroyed their traces, this did not bother the people of Murowe,
Soon the group found the trail of the horse thief,
Temoshenko and Lan Ziyi led a few men to dismount and climb a small hill to scout the horse thief camp.
Looking at the camp subway Musinge said:
"Finally found it, let's hurry up."
Lan Ziyi looked at the camp under the mountain and asked:
"How many people are there in the camp?"
Someone replied:
"More than a thousand, close to two thousand, excluding the women and slaves who were snatched back, there are only about a thousand who can fight."
Lan Ziyi then asked Timoshenge:
"How are you going to fight?"
Timoshenko replied:
"Use the best way of playing for our Murowei people, go up and shoot around the camp, and then rush up to deal with them when they are all disabled."
Lan Ziyi shook his head when he heard this, and said:
"Although the people of Murowei are accurate in riding and shooting, the horse thieves on the opposite side are not rice buckets, and maybe they are still defeated by the remnants of the army. We only have three hundred men, and there are a thousand warriors on the opposite side, so if we shoot at each other, it is obviously a disadvantage, not to mention that once we shoot arrows, won't the opposite side judge that we have few people? Once the other party knows that we are false, these 300 people will have to be buried here. β
Temoshenko frowned when he heard this, and asked:
"Then how do you say to fight?"
Lan Ziyi looked at the horse thief camp again and said:
"The horse thieves gathered the stolen horses and beasts around the camp, and this hill was southeast of the camp, behind which our three hundred men. Since we are attacking suddenly, we must reflect the suddenness of the battle and take the opponent by surprise, so the main force should go directly around the north of the mountain and launch a surprise attack directly to the east of the camp, rushing into the enemy camp and killing the leader of the opponent before the opponent can organize it. A part of the men were sent out to ride around the camp as suspicious soldiers, so that the other side could not distinguish the direction of the main attack, and to create the illusion that they were besieged on all sides. β
Brother Timoxin thought about it, and it seemed that there was no better way, nodded and agreed with Lan Ziyi's method, and then said:
"Then I'll take the lead in the charge, and you can lead a few people to respond."
Lan Ziyi shook his head again and said:
"Charging into battle is the strength of the Middle-earth cavalry, and cavalry is the strength of the Murwei riders, in this case, it is only natural that I should lead the charge, and you lead the archers to surround the camp. My three men have been through a hundred battles, three hundred people divide me two hundred, and you take a hundred people, which is enough! β
Timoshenge stared at Lan Ziyi for a long time, and finally grabbed Lan Ziyi's shoulder and said:
"You Middle-earthites are cunning and unusual. Good! I listen to you! β
A few people quietly got off the mountain bag, and after dividing the people according to the arrangement just now, Timoshenge and Lan Ziyi said goodbye solemnly.
Lan Ziyi rode a horse and pulled out his sword, leading the two hundred chamber Wei riders to slowly walk out of the mountain,
Tao chased the rabbit and urged the horse to catch up with Lan Ziyi and asked:
"Young master, you go back a little bit, it's too dangerous, you won't do this."
ε °εδΉ says:
"Then my net worth and life depend on you!"
Then he said to Tao Zhuhu:
"Big brother! The command is up to you! β
Peach Chase Tiger replied and shouted:
"Prepare the fire arrows, rush to the opponent's tent and release at least five rounds of arrows! You guys, you'll rush over and cut off the camp and the horses, let the horses out, and don't let the horse thieves get on the horses. The rest of the people, with only one goal, rush into the center of the enemy camp and kill the leader of the other party, and when the other party has no leader, it will be the sheep we slaughter! β
The riders readily agreed, and the three hundred riders rounded the mountain bag and lined up in three rows.
With the order of Tao Zhuhu, the riders urged the horses forward, and their fighting spirits were high.
Lan Ziyi rushed to the front with a sword in his hand, and he had a taste in his heart.
He resisted his father's refusal to carry on the tradition of the Shomon, but now he personally led the charge, which was a mixture of feelings, and at the same time a hint of excitement from the bottom of his heart.
But now is not the time to think about this, facing the cold wind, Lan Ziyi only thinks about this one thing now, that is, to win this battle and live!
