The light cavalry on both flanks were also misarmed, with skilled veterans using bows and arrows as their main weapons, spears as auxiliary weapons, and a mace as a backup. Recruits were also equipped with bows and arrows, but most of them were just decorations, and the actual combat weapons were mainly cavalry knives. The cavalry knife, which is more than one meter long, is narrow, light and sharp, and does not suffer against the scimitars of the Jin people.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the light cavalry of the Jin Kingdom suffered serious casualties in a collision, and they were not the opponents of Tiefutu at all, but they had tribal leaders here, and their will to fight was also very tenacious.

Lu Fang had already set his sights on the leader of the East China Sea tribe in the middle of the enemy army, that was the soul of the enemy, as long as he was killed, the enemy army would immediately be in chaos.

"Kill." Lu Fang's halberd was waved and pointed directly at the enemy chieftain, and the halberd in his hand blocked and killed several enemy soldiers one after another, and the soldiers behind him also followed, fighting left and right in Lu Fang, rushing all the way over, almost no one resisted.

The chief of the East China Sea tribe was making a final thought at this time, and said to his son: "You lead people to retreat, our East China Sea tribe can't be finished here." ”

"And what do you do?"

The tribal chief said, "Hurry up, don't you know what the situation is now?" ”

This time it was a real miscalculation, as they were shot with a strong crossbow at the beginning, and the warriors grazed cattle and sheep all day long, and where there was armor, they were hit on the head by crossbow arrows. Then came a strange attack of bamboo tubes, killing and wounding hundreds. This was followed by the Iron Float, which the light cavalry feared the most. Morale has been lost, and even more so the number of people is small, and if you don't retreat at this time, you will only have the result of the total annihilation.

The old man chief waved the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Herida, from now on you are the chief of the East China Sea tribe, leave two hundred to die, and you will take all the rest." ”

Herida's eyes spurted blood, but at this time he couldn't hesitate at all, the feathered arrows on both sides flew wildly, and the warriors kept falling off their horses, and then saw that most of the arrows shot by his warriors could not break the opponent's armor.

"Dad, I'll avenge you." Herrida roared, waved his hand, and fled with five hundred warriors. There are more than 300 people who volunteered to stay and die, and these people also fought hard, and they fought very bravely, but all this was to no avail, and in the face of the huge difference in strength, it could only be the struggle of the trapped beast.

When Chao Gai saw that the enemy had fled with 500 cavalry, he immediately ordered the 500 heavy cavalry left as a reserve to rush forward. Lü Fang and Guo Sheng besieged the cavalry after the break. Chao Gai and Liu Tang rushed up and chased after the fleeing Helida.

Chao Wei also saw the way, and said to Chao Gai: "The young man who led the team who escaped should be the son of the old chief, let him escape back to inherit the chieftain's position." ”

"Well, go all out." Chao Gai led dozens of cavalry to chase the closest, although the number was small, but the power of the divine arm crossbow was great, and more than a dozen of them were wiped out in the first round, followed by the exchange of bows and arrows, and the feather arrows kept flying forward. The cavalry of the East China Sea Department also turned around to shoot arrows, but the range of their arrows was obviously weak, and the lethality was much weaker, and Chao Gai and the others did not follow too closely. Liu Tang and the others fought with the enemy for a while just now, but they lacked horsepower, but they fell behind, and slowly caught up, and the enemy army couldn't bear it.

A centurion touched the human: "Stay and stop them." ”

Immediately seventy or eighty horsemen stopped, turned their horses, and came back to fight.

Chao Gai is killing the rise, where to allow him to destroy, when an arrow is shot first, the centurion was hit by an arrow in the chest, and the old man came out of his back, and fell under the horse with a muffled snort.

These cavalry of the pro-army team are all Shandong men with big shoulders and round waists, skilled in bows and horses, the bows and arrows used are heavier than those of ordinary soldiers, and the hit rate is also high, and a few breaths of kung fu shot more than a dozen people, and the others couldn't resist the charge of Chao Gai and others, and the other enemy soldiers were handed over to Liu Tang and them, and the army charged, dozens of people wanted to block it, and they were engulfed in a blink of an eye.

Another team of 100 remained, and the group was even more crazy. A person swung a knife and went straight to Chao Gai, Chao Gai drew a halberd and stabbed this person in the chest, this guy threw away the scimitar, grabbed Chao Gai's weapon tightly, and did not let go until he died. There was another enemy soldier next to him who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack Chao Gai, and coldly slashed at Chao Gai's shoulder, who knew that before the knife passed, a big hammer hit the person's façade, and the whole head was like a smashed watermelon.

This group of 100 people was quickly engulfed again, but their fearless combat style caused a lot of casualties, especially the soldiers of Liu Tang's department, who suffered many casualties.

After chasing for a distance, Chao Gai waved his halberd and said, "Stop, go back." ”

Although the soldiers still want to chase, but on the battlefield, what is needed is absolute authority that cannot be questioned, and everyone returns together. Clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.

In this battle, 800 enemies were destroyed and 700 wounded soldiers were captured. They also suffered many casualties, 15 killed and 200 wounded. Among them, the precious Tiefu Tu also killed more than 30 people, which made Liu Tang very sorry.

Liu Tang asked: "Brother, what to do with these captives, most of them are iron sand wounds and arrow wounds, and they are not fatal." ”

Chao Gai said: "Minor injuries that can be treated will be treated, and serious injuries that cannot be cured will be treated." ”

"Yes." Liu Tang took the order and went to arrange it. There are a lot of medicinal materials brought by the military medicine guards, there are more than a dozen horses, white cotton cloth, and medicinal powder to stop bleeding, these things Jin Bing has never seen, and he feels very curious, but he is still grateful to see that he can't die.

The bald man had a lot of approval in his eyes and stared at Chao Gai.

Chao Wei asked him in Khitan dialect: "What do you see, you are still not satisfied with this treatment." ”

The man said: "I am very satisfied, whether the defeated captives are killed or made efforts, it is the arrangement of the Immortal Heaven." ”

Chao Wei said to Chao Gai, and Chao Gai asked, "What's your name?" Is it the number one master in the East China Sea tribe? ”

The bald man's answer surprised Chao Gai, this big bald head turned out to be a Mongolian, called Zamula.

Zamula said: "According to the rules of the grassland, if you capture me, you will be your slave, but I will not obey you, you can kill me." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "You are such a big person, it must be very energetic to keep it to mine, why should I kill you." You say, how can you be a slave with peace of mind. ”

Zamula shook his big fist and said, "If you defeat me, I will obey you, and we will compete with fists and feet and bows and arrows." ”

Luo Yun snickered there next to him, this guy's head is broken, Chao Gai is the famous Iron Fist, the level of a generation of grandmasters.

The soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, and it couldn't be finished in a short time, so Chao Gai said, "Okay, let's compare." ”

Try the fists and feet first, Chao Gai took off his armor, Zamula pulled his bare arms, Zamula was good at wrestling, jumping his feet, shaking his arms, Chao Gai reached forward, Zamula thought that the opportunity was coming, and was about to attack, he was grabbed by Chao Gai's right arm, turned around, and fell over the shoulder, snapped, and threw Zamula to the ground.

Zamula's body is heavy, and this fall is not light. Got up and fought again, Chao Gai went directly to grab the belt this time and lifted it up and threw it out, popped, and threw it on the grass again, Zamula fell into the green grass. The third time, Zamula said, "I'm convinced, let's go ahead with the bow and arrow." ”

The bow and arrow competition naturally does not play such a low-level fixed target, the reserved program is to shoot fruits, and there are no decent fruits for marching and fighting, the soldiers found a few wild fruits, threw them into the air, Zamula bent the bow and shot, lost five wild fruits in a row, only shot one, and was complacent. You must know that this kind of shooting is very difficult, and the average archer will not be able to shoot even one.

This time it was Chao Gai's turn, and the soldier threw wild fruits into the air, throwing five and shooting five. Zamula was stunned, and knelt down directly and said, "Jebel, Jebel, please accept me as an apprentice." ”

Chao Gai said: "You are my captive, how can you easily become my apprentice, see how you behave in the future." Now I'll give you a quest that will reward you for being intact. ”

"What a task." Zamula asked.

"You go and help manage the seven hundred wounded soldiers, go." Chao Gai said.

It turned out that Zamula was a prisoner of war of the Donghai tribe, and later joined the Donghai tribe, although he was strong and strong, but his status was not high. The composition of the 700 captives was also more complex, including Han Chinese, as well as a number of other small tribes. The tribal merger of the steppes is barbaric, and it is the practice of whose fist is loud and whomever is heard.

Zamula was convinced by Chao Gai, and took a thick hardwood stick to take care of the captive soldiers, don't look at Zamula's big head, but his eloquence is good, and while shaking the big stick, he said: "Be obedient and have meat to eat, and the captive must look like a captive." ”

"Will there really be meat to eat?" A captive asked.

"Of course, the horse meat is simmering in the pot, you see." Zamula pointed to the large iron pot not far away. The battle was fierce, and hundreds of horses died.

As he was talking, the soldiers came, and angrily called dozens of people to set up a dozen cauldrons, put large pieces of horse meat in the pot, add water, and let the captive soldiers cook themselves.

Not far away, Liu Tang pouted and said to Chao Gai: "This Zamula won't be pretended, shouldn't he escape with the captives?" ”

Chao Gai shook his head: "Probably not, the grassland has the rules of the grassland, and outsiders seem to be a tribe, but in fact, they are fused together by several small tribes through constant wars, and they fight for livestock and women on weekdays." There is no rejection of such a thing as surrender, not to mention that killing them all can only pull hatred, so we have to try to fuse them, not kill them, just like we fuse the fierce bull grassland. ”

Liu Tang nodded: "Brother is right, war alone can't solve the problem." ”

The captives ate this meal very sweetly, ate plenty of salt and various spices, and the taste was very palatable, and the corners of their mouths were oily.

After eating, they were ordered to ride bare-chested on horses and march with the procession, and they rode so that ten horses were tied together, and Zamula had already told them that they should be in a team of ten, and that only one of the others in this group would be beheaded. If the ten people don't run, the next time they eat, they will still be full, and they will have wine to drink if they behave well.
