Chapter 669: Crying Blood and Sand Sea
Outside Longfu Mountain, a corpse was half-hidden in the wind and sand. A tuft of grass sprouted from the bones, attracting a few hares.
Knock knock knock······
The ground suddenly moved.
The foraging hare was frightened and quickly hid in the hollow bones.
And he saw an army in gilded bronze armor galloping towards him.
This is the standard armor of the Xia Kingdom, from head to toe, divided into gilt, shawl, gilt copper armor, arm guards, belts, robes, silk belts, trousers, boots and other parts. Many imitations of the former Tang Dynasty, in terms of technology, far inferior to the Song Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom.
The so-called backwardness will be beaten!
As a small country that survives in the cracks, it is complacent and does not want to forge ahead. Then in the case of strong enemies, it is logical that the country is difficult to protect.
Dada······
A large area of sand and dust splattered up, and the bones that were about to be buried by the yellow sand were completely broken into slag under the trampling of countless horses' hooves. The hare inside did not escape its life after all, nourishing the freshly eaten weeds with minced meat and blood.
"Shhh , Jebel blew his whistle, and the whole army ordered it to be forbidden.
This is one of the small commodities that came to Mongolia from the Great Yuan. The workmanship is simple and delicate, yet portable and durable. Mongolia also gradually spread to the army and became one of the tools for heralding.
"Qianhu, the Yuan army has discovered us!" , a group of Mongol scouts from far and near, quickly came to the front of the army and stopped.
Jebel also noticed the smoke ahead!
It was a beacon for early warning.
In the era when there was no radio communication, the beacon was undoubtedly one of the best early warning tools.
"Let's do it quickly!" , Jebe stared at the military fort halfway up the mountain and said loudly.
It was a military fort built on a gentle slope, and in terms of topography, the advantages were not obvious. At this moment, the beacon tower next to the military fort was burning with smoke, and there was a large basket floating in the sky.
Jebel knew that this should be the 'hot air balloon' passed by Dayuan.
In warfare, it is mainly used to observe the enemy's position and formation.
But it's just the first time I've heard about it and seen it with my own eyes.
Inside the fort, Turgand, Dosbah and others were watching the enemy approach, listening to the scout's report.
"Their scouts are hard to deal with, and we've lost more than half of our people." , the scout's little commander has a bad face. In ancient battlefields, scouts were the eyes and noses of the army. With the help of a hot air balloon, you can clearly observe the situation of the enemy troops. But the more precise situation is still to be explored by scouts.
And unlike regular wars, scout warfare is a battlefield where you can't see the smoke of gunpowder. There has never been only life and death, and injuries are almost non-existent.
"It seems that this Xia army must be the elite of the Xia Kingdom." , Dosba said with a solemn face.
In the past, on the battlefield, the Yuan army did not engage in scout warfare with the Xia army. However, with sophisticated equipment and superior training, there are always more victories and fewer defeats. And today, when the number of people is not very different, it is a bit unexpected that their scouts have lost half of their manpower.
But everyone is also mentally prepared before this!
Now through the battle situation of the scouts, it can be regarded as confirming that the attacking Xia army is not an ordinary army.
"Isn't that pleasant? If we destroy this elite, in the next battalion, other teams will have to take a detour when they see us! Guerba Khan thought of the honor after the victory, and was overjoyed.
"Nope! Not to mention a battalion, even the entire Gansu Legion, no one will look down on us. ”,
"I don't want anything else, as long as there is no more war, let us come to this mountain to eat the soil." ,
Several other generals talked nonsense, thinking about the result of the victory.
As the main general, Turgan was not as optimistic as they were, but he was also encouraged. Asked about the defense situation again, and waited for Xia Jun to send it to the door.
In the end, the Yuan army never lost in a series of battles. Therefore, the defeat was automatically ignored by many soldiers.
Woowoo······· The horn of the charge sounded.
The Xia army was like locusts, coming all over the mountains.
Such stitches are common on the battlefield, and Turgan has nothing to fear.
But with a whistle, the cavalry came to a halt within a hundred paces of the fort.
"This Xia Jun - it doesn't seem to be the same!" , Dospar exclaimed. What kind of virtue Xia Jun is, Yuan Jun doesn't know. Therefore, it is beyond their expectations that they can still adhere to orders and prohibit them like this on the battlefield.
"Raise your arrow!" , Jebel commanded.
I saw Xia Jun raise arrows in unison!
"Raise your shield!" , Turgan also ordered. Due to the small size of the military fort, there were only about 200 people standing on the military fort, and the other 800 people were on standby behind the military fort.
Then a burst of black clouds fell from the sky, and the sky above the fort darkened in an instant.
Da Da Da ······ Without waiting for the end of the round of cavalry shooting, the Xia army also rushed towards the military fort.
Ding Ding Ding ······ Although the accuracy of the rain of arrows is very poor, there are always places that cannot be protected. Some of the soldiers were wounded by the guns, but fortunately they were not fatal. Soon, the small military fort was full of arrows, and from a distance, it looked like an earthy yellow hedgehog.
"Kill!" As soon as the Xia army rushed to the foot of the military fort, he climbed the wall and shot the arrow. It was only at this time that Turgan discovered that the archery skills of these Xia soldiers were surprisingly accurate.
But the Yuan army was condescending, and the Xia army could not take advantage of it.
Not long after the battle, the Xia army was killed by the Yuan army and turned around and ran.
"Team Zheng, let me lead the troops to chase!" , Guerba Khan took the initiative to ask for help.
"No! This Xia Jun feels very wrong! Dospar stopped.
But the other generals all asked for troops, and Turgan did not cool down the people's desire to fight, so he ordered Guerba Khan to lead 600 men to pursue and test. In case of abnormality, don't fall in love with the war and retreat quickly.
I saw the door of the military fort slowly open, and a group of Xia troops rushed out.
"Tell me to go down and be ready to strike at any time!" , Turgan was faintly worried, so he asked the remaining five hundred people to be ready.
Outside the military fort, Gu'er Bahan had already chased the Xia army. But not long after the two sides fought, Turgan faintly realized that something was wrong. Because the Xia army did not retreat, but advanced, and slowly surrounded the Yuan army.
"Quick! Come with me! Turgan immediately led the remaining 500 men to support.
At this time, Guerba Khan had already sensed that it was not good.
Because he found these Xia Jun very strange! After being caught up, not only was he not panicked, but he also had a successful smile. And all of them were not afraid of death, and there was no cowardice in the battle with the Yuan army.
Especially one of the commanders of the Xia army, he shot ruthlessly. Wielding a thick chopping sword, a single blow can cut the Yuan army soldiers in half.
"Enemy chieftain, do you dare to fight me?" , Guer Bahan is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, slashed and killed two close Xia troops, and rushed to kill Zhebei who killed in the Yuan army.
"Hahaha - dead people don't deserve to know my name." ,
As soon as the words fell, he pointed the tip of his knife at Guerba Khan. The other Xia soldiers immediately moved out of the way, and Jebe immediately rushed over.
"Kill!" , Guerba Khan clamped the horse's belly and greeted it.
Bang!
The blood-stained long knife pressed down, and Gu Erba Khan turned pale with shock. His arm was also slightly sore, and his heart was shocked.
But before he could make a move, Jebe's long knife turned into a slash again. Gu'er Ba Khan turned sideways, but Jushuo was cut off with a knife. The whole person was also cut into two pieces, and even the mount was cut out of a bloody wound.
"Vice!" ,
"Vice!" , the other Yuan army soldiers shouted sadly.
