Chapter 555: Bait (1+1)
The White Horse Tribe is a medium-sized nomadic tribe with a population of more than 1,500 on the grassland, grazing nearly 20,000 cattle, horses and sheep for a living.
On the grassland, the strength of the White Horse tribe belongs to the medium level, it has been chased by the powerful nomadic tribes, and it has also devoured many weak nomadic tribes, and it can survive on the grassland and has a population of more than 1,500, which is enough to show the strength of the White Horse tribe.
But today, the White Horse tribe has a strong opponent.
In the farthest area where the Baima tribe was grazing, the Xia cavalry troops found a group of grazing tribesmen of the Baima tribe, and the Xia cavalry of the Xia tribe rushed directly towards the place where the figure was found.
There are only five people in this group of grazing tribes of the White Horse Tribe, far from being the opponent of a cavalry in the Xia Kingdom, after determining that the target of the Xia cavalry is a group of them, they immediately gave up the grazing cattle, horses and sheep, and fled quickly on horseback.
Giving up those cumbersome cattle, horses and sheep, the five members of the White Horse Tribe quickly distanced themselves from the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom, but the five of them all had a depressed face, and they were not happy at all because they had escaped for their lives, and the cattle, horses and sheep they grazed were gone, and they would definitely be severely punished after returning to the tribe.
All the nomadic tribes on the grassland have similar regulations, whoever grazes the cattle, horses and sheep will be punished, the crime will not lead to death, but the punishment will be very severe, the cattle, horses and sheep are the food of the tribesmen, and if the food is gone, the tribesmen may starve to death.
"Damn, why is our luck so bad today that we met the enemy."
"No, let's hurry back to the tribe and let the leader lead people to snatch back the cattle, horses and sheep, so that we won't be punished much."
"Yes, there are not many enemies, and we will definitely be able to get back the cattle, horses and sheep."
Soon, the five people of the fleeing White Horse tribe made a decision, hurry back to the tribe, find the leader to bring people over to snatch the cattle, horses and sheep back, and after a brief look, the five people were divided into two groups, a group of two, hurry back to the tribe to inform the leader, and the other group of three people will monitor the Xia cavalry from a distance.
On the other side, the snake proverb personally led the first team of the cavalry town to pursue the five people of the White Horse Tribe, and had crossed the cattle, horses and sheep grazing by the five people of the White Horse Tribe, at this time the distance between the two sides was slowly widening, and the snake proverb understood that they could not catch up with the enemy, so he gave up the pursuit and turned to the group of cattle, horses and sheep with a disappointed look.
"What's the situation, how did they separate?"
The snake proverb has been paying attention to the movements of the five people in the distance, and when the snake proverb gave up the pursuit, the five men did not continue to run far, but approached him a little, and now two of the five people left, and the remaining three continued to monitor their side.
"The cattle, horses and sheep they grazed were snatched away by us, and those two people must have gone back to their tribe to call people to snatch back the cattle, horses and sheep, a good opportunity." The snake proverb quickly thought of a very likely event, this is a good opportunity, once this nomadic tribe strikes in a big way, you can eat them, and then follow the direction to find their tribe to live, perfect.
With these things in mind, the snake proverb quickly made his men flee with different colored flags and spread them in other directions, indicating to them: Wait a while, there may be more enemies coming.
The signal from the first snake proverb was quickly received by the one led by Mu Shi, who understood the meaning of the snake proverb and immediately made new arrangements, one snake proverb drove the obtained cattle, horses and sheep to slowly leave the rear, and the other three kept a distance from the snake proverb and moved in the left, right, and back directions of the snake proverb.
In this case, once an enemy arrives, the cavalry town can surround the enemy and then eat the enemy.
The plan set by the cavalry town of Mu Shi began to be carried out, and at the same time, the two White Horse tribesmen who had returned to report the news had already met with other herding tribesmen.
"Our group of grazing cattle, horses and sheep were robbed by the enemy, we must hurry back to the tribe and tell the leader about this, and wait for the leader to take us back the cattle, horses and sheep." When they met the same clan, the two told the same clan without reservation.
"We know, you go back and tell the chief about this, and then we will go together to get the cattle, horses and sheep back." The clan replied.
The people who got the news did not wait in place, they also scattered to the surrounding herding tribes to tell the matter, except for leaving two people to take care of their own group of grazing cattle, horses and sheep, the rest of the people gathered one after another, waiting for the leader to bring people to arrive, and everyone went together to take back the cattle, horses and sheep from the enemy.
The news spread all the way, and the two who reported the news finally returned to the White Horse tribe's residence.
"Chief, chief, no, our group of grazing cows, horses and sheep was robbed by the enemy."
Hearing this, the leader of the white horse came out of the round tent and asked in a loud voice, "Where is the enemy?" How many people are there? Dare to rob our tribe's cattle, horses and sheep! ”
"The enemy is over there, and there are not many enemies, less than fifty people." The two of them used the number of their own tribe to represent the number of enemies, and quickly indicated the number of enemies to the leader.
"Such a little person? Dare to rob the cattle, horses and sheep of our White Horse tribe, brothers and sisters, pick up weapons and follow me and snatch the cattle, horses and sheep back. When the leader of the white horse learned that the number of enemies was less than fifty, he immediately shouted around.
"Get back the cattle, horses and sheep!"
"Kill the enemy who robbed us of our cattle, horses and sheep!"
The adult clansmen of the White Horse tribe's residence immediately took action under the leader's order, and now the time is almost noon, many tribesmen are grazing outside, but there are many adult tribesmen left behind by the tribe, and the white horse leader quickly gathered a cavalry of nearly two hundred people, and the enemy is not too far from the White Horse tribe's residence, and each person only controls two groups of war horses.
"Let's go!"
The leader of the white horse gave an order, led by the two people who reported the news, and the two hundred horsemen of the white horse tribe left their residence and galloped towards the location of the Xia cavalry.
Along the way, from time to time, people from the clansmen who got the news joined the team, and when they joined the three clansmen who were monitoring the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom, the number of the team was already more than two hundred and forty people.
"The enemy is coming, send a message." Seeing the arrival of a large group of enemies in the distance, the snake proverb immediately gave the order to go down, and a flag was unfurled, spreading the news of the arrival of the large group of enemies to the other three departments.
After receiving the news, Mu Shi did not issue a new order, and now he could not let the other three troops surround it, which was very likely to be discovered by the enemy in advance, causing the enemy to escape.
"What are you waiting for, rush forward, kill the enemy, and take back the cattle, horses and sheep." The leader of the white horse shouted, and immediately took the lead and rushed towards the snake proverb.
"Kill the enemy!"
"Get back the cattle, horses and sheep!"
The two hundred and forty knights of the White Horse Tribe are very angry, and the enemy has less than fifty people, and his own side is several times that of the enemy.
The snake proverb was still driving hundreds of cows, horses and sheep towards the front, and it seemed that he didn't care much about the two hundred and forty horsemen of the White Horse tribe galloping over.
In the eyes of the White Horse Leader, the dozens of enemies in front of him did not care about their own side, but before they arrived, they took hundreds of cattle, horses and sheep as far away as possible, and when the White Horse tribe approached the enemy with two hundred and forty horses, the enemy would definitely abandon hundreds of cattle, horses and sheep and flee.
Shouting "kill the enemy", in fact, the White Horse leader has no idea of fighting with the enemy in his mind, the White Horse tribe has a large number of enemies, the situation is like this, yes, once a battle breaks out, the White Horse tribe has an absolute advantage in strength, but the enemy will also bring a lot of casualties to the White Horse tribe, and after the battle, the White Horse tribe can not harvest much spoils.
If they encounter a weak tribe, the White Horse tribe will have to kill the enemy even if they pay a certain number of casualties, because the White Horse tribe can obtain a large amount of loot, which can fully compensate for the loss of casualties of the clan.
Without enough benefits, the nomadic tribes of the steppe could easily not fight with each other, this is a rule, and all the white horse leader has to do now is to drive all the enemies away, and then return with cattle, horses, and sheep.
The two hundred and forty horsemen of the White Horse Tribe were getting closer and closer to the first snake proverb, and after getting the signal from the first snake proverb, Mu Shi immediately ordered the three to surround the two hundred and forty horsemen of the White Horse Tribe.
Time passed minute by minute, and the white horse leader had clearly seen the figure of the enemy in front of him, but the black armor Xia cavalry made the white horse leader very puzzled, this was very different from the nomadic tribesmen.
Doubts are doubts, the number of people in the snake proverb makes the white horse leader not have much vigilance, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
Snake proverb: "Brothers, let's retreat, don't let the enemy get too close to us, first open a little distance." ”
Hearing the captain's order, the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom gave up the cattle, horses and sheep they were driving, and instead rode their horses and galloped forward, although the distance between the two sides was still close, but the speed of approach was very slow.
"Chase away all these damned enemies." The leader of the white horse crossed the cows, horses and sheep, and led his people to continue the pursuit of the snake proverb.
Twenty zhang
Seventeen zhang
Fifteen zhang
The leader of the white horse plans to get a little closer and shoot a wave of arrows at the enemy together, it doesn't matter how much damage the enemy can't give if the enemy is too far away, the main thing is to show the strength of the white horse tribe and let the enemy roll away.
The leader of the white horse and the clansmen led by him all focused on the snake proverb, but they didn't notice that the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom on the left and right sides had surrounded them.
"Brothers, you can't be chased by the enemy all the time, turn around and give the enemy an arrow." The snake proverb laughed and took out his bow and arrows as he rode his horse, turned around, took aim, and with a "whoosh", an arrow was inserted into the chest of one of the clansmen beside the leader of the white horse in the blink of an eye.
Just after the snake proverb shot the arrow, nearly 50 people in the snake proverb took out their bows and arrows and turned around and shot at the enemy.
Shooting his own clan at a distance of more than ten zhang, the white horse leader was shocked, how could the enemy's bow and arrow be so powerful, and then the white horse leader's surprise did not last long, and the next moment, dozens of arrows came head-on, and the superb combat awareness made the white horse leader quickly dodge the arrows that shot at him.
One, two, three, three arrows in a row slashed past the White Horse Leader's side, but the White Horse Leader's good fortune ended there.
Snake Jiao pulled the bow, his eyes were fixed on the leader of the white horse, he didn't know that this person was the leader of the enemy, judging by his clothes, Snake Jiao knew that this person had a high status in the enemy tribe, and if he shot him, he would be able to make meritorious service again.
Aim, fire the arrows.
Burst!
The arrows fired by the snake pierced the neck of the white horse leader.
"I've been hit by an arrow, it hurts......" The white horse leader fell weakly from his horse to the ground.
"The leader is dead, kill the enemy and avenge the leader!"
"Kill the enemy and avenge the leader!"
"Kill, kill all enemies!"
The death of the leader did not defeat the tribesmen of the White Horse, but aroused their anger, and they took out their bows and arrows to shoot at the snake proverb, and some arrows hit the cavalry of the snake proverb, and the arrows that had little power were easily blocked by leather armor.
"Brothers, while the other three departments are not here, we will shoot a few more people, this is our best chance to make meritorious contributions." The snake proverb shouted to the cavalry around him.
There is no need for the captain to say, the cavalry know that now is the best opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and while the other three divisions are not surrounded, they will shoot a few more enemies.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Arrows flew out, and the next moment they were stuck in the White Horse tribesmen.
"Those guys actually started fighting, let's go over quickly, don't work hard to let them take a share."
Seeing that the battle had broken out, the other three departments accelerated to surround them.
For the snake proverb to start the battle in advance, Mu Shi shook his head helplessly, the previous order he gave to the snake proverb did not let the snake proverb wait for the various departments to surround and fight, the more important thing in the battlefield is to be improvised.
The most important task of the snake proverb is to drag the enemy and let the various departments surround the past, even if a battle breaks out, as long as the enemy does not escape, it is not the fault of the snake proverb, and the snake proverb will also make meritorious contributions for killing more enemies.
The battle continues.
The arrows shot by the snake proverb and the White Horse tribe have been going back and forth, the battle has been going on for several minutes, the snake proverb has almost no losses, but the White Horse tribe has suffered heavy losses, and the people of the White Horse tribe, who were consumed by the anger of the leader's death, felt that the same clan around them was decreasing, and finally thought of the crux of the problem.
"We can't chase anymore, the enemy's bows and arrows are stronger than ours, we can't beat the enemy, and if we chase any more, we will all die."
"Don't chase, don't chase, let's retreat."
"We retreated, what about the leader's hatred?"
"Give up, we can't let more people die in order to avenge the leader."
Under the leadership of a high-ranking member of the White Horse Tribe, the cavalry of the White Horse Tribe, whose number had dropped to more than 160 people, stopped pursuing the snake proverb, and in just a few minutes, there were originally more than 240 people, but now there are only more than 160 people left, and one-third of the battle losses are left.
At this moment, someone in the ranks of the White Horse tribe noticed a change in the situation around them.
"Oh no, there are enemies on the left, and there are very many of them."
"There are also enemies on the right, and there are quite a few of them."
"We are surrounded by enemies, run."
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Another wave of arrows fell, and more than a dozen members of the White Horse tribe were hit, and it turned out that a snake proverb had returned. ()
