Li Kui said: "Wan Chun, then tell me what the weakness of the black werewolf is." ”

Pang Wanchun said: "Before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, you see that we have to carry a lot of grain every time we fight, and it is very troublesome to transport baggage. Our survey data shows that the black werewolves are not good at grazing, but they like to rob the most, which means that most of the cattle and sheep eaten by the black werewolves are robbed, as long as they find the cattle and sheep they robbed from which tribe, protect that tribe, so that the black werewolves can't grab things. ”

Chao Gai shook his head: "It's difficult, Black Dragon Island is so big, protecting one place can't protect another." There is some truth to what you said, why don't we unite these tribes that have been suppressed by the Black Werewolves, recruit cavalry from these tribes, and form a stronger force to destroy the Black Werewolves. ”

Everyone said that it made sense, Yan Kuohai said: "Most of the grassland people have no culture and are not reasonable, if you want them to see our strength, these small tribes will be obedient." ”

After discussing for a while, everyone finally decided to pull the captured black werewolf's mace, mask and other things that marked the black werewolf in a cart and publicize it wherever they went.

The annihilation of 1,500 black wolf riders was big news in itself, and several small tribes were encountered along the way, which kept a high level of vigilance against Jeju Tuanlian for fear that they would rob. But everything was superfluous, Lu Fang Guosheng led hundreds of cavalry to their tribe, without saying a word, he inserted the banner of Jeju Tuanlian into their tribe, and said: "You will be the tribe under the jurisdiction of Jeju Tuanlian in the future, if you find that there is no such banner next time, you will be flattened directly." Those who have this banner in everything will be given priority in the purchase of cattle and horses, and priority will be given to conscription. ”

Of course, there are also small tribes who are not convinced, but it is useless, the grassland is a grassland where the weak eat the strong, not to mention that the military discipline of the Jeju regiment is very good, and they have never robbed them. The cattle and sheep needed along the way were all exchanged for salt bricks and iron tools.

After a day's march to the north, it was less than a hundred miles, and the small tribes found twenty or thirty of them. According to them, the Black Werewolves are operating around here, and it is likely that they are gathering a large army.

Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, the rangers spotted the traces of the werewolves, and Chao Gai immediately ordered a formation to meet the enemy.

Relying on the camp, nearly 200 cannons were placed in the direction of the camp gate, with Pang Wanchun's archers and Li Kui's heavy infantry guarding both sides. Chao Gai led the cavalry to prepare for the attack.

Iron hooves rumble, and the black werewolf is coming. The black werewolf lost more than 1,500 people, and it was also anxious, and there had never been such a big failure, which could be said to have shaken the foundation of the black werewolf.

This time, the main force of the black werewolves was assembled, almost three thousand five hundred cavalry, which can be described as strong and strong.

The black werewolf emerged from the eastern horizon and stopped on top of a grassy slope five hundred meters away. The leader wears a hat with a leopard's tail, and it is not too hot in the summer, and he has long teeth and grinning, and it seems that he should be the leader of the black werewolf. Hallehu said something beside him, and the black wolf leader nodded and gave the order to attack.

The first wave was a tentative attack, and a hundred cavalry rushed out and ran towards the camp. Naturally, the artillery could not open fire, and such a point of artillery was a waste of shells.

Pang Wanchun waved the flag and ordered the archers to prepare.

Pang Wanchun's 500 archers all used hard bows, which were farther than ordinary riding bows, and the lethality of 150 meters was still there. And these soldiers are very skilled in archery under Pang Wanchun's training, standing behind the fence and shooting arrows steadily, the feather arrows are flying outward, and the black werewolf is useless on the back of the horse, some are directly shot by the bow and arrow, fall off the horse, and some are shot at the war horse, and the war horse lies down directly. Pang Wanchun hasn't played the role of his archery skills since he came to the grassland, and he just used it today, bending the bow and arrows, not using aiming, shooting directly. Five arrows were shot in succession, and the five black werewolves fell off their horses, which felt like drinking rock sugar pears in the summer. Next to him, Li Kui only looked at it with envy, who let himself not know how to shoot arrows.

The first temptation was hastily over, and the black werewolf, a hundred cavalrymen, fell from their horses without even entering a hundred meters of the camp, and the wounded soldiers who were not dead were wailing on the ground.

The black werewolf decided to pounce on it, and sent 1,500 people to the main gate of the camp at once, why did he pounce on the main gate, because the other three sides were pulled with barbed wire and all kinds of rejection horses.

More than a thousand cavalry charged, this momentum was amazing, and the hooves of the horses with large bowls trampled the grassland, revealing the black soil.

The novice artilleryman was a little nervous, the hand holding the arquebus trembled, and he urged the field next to him: "It's just a cannon, it's a nervous ball, they will fall down a piece of a cannon, what are you afraid of." ”

Everyone laughed, and the veteran said: "Don't worry at all, do you see Li Kui with a black face over there, that guy is a murderer with a big axe, and thousands of black wolf bandits are not enough for him to cut it." ”

The tension of the artillerymen was relieved, they were all loaded with loose shells, and the fire ropes were ready and waiting for orders there. The 80-pound Tiger Squat Cannon is very powerful with improved gunpowder, and it has a range of 300 meters when it hits scattered bullets.

It was close, and when the black wolf rode into a distance of three hundred meters, the urge field waved the command flag, and the first batch of sixty tiger squat cannons were launched, boom, boom, boom. The sound of cannons was continuous, and the ground shook and the mountains shook. The scorching iron sand swooped down on the Black Wolf Rider with a hum. It's summer now, and the black wolf only has the armor of raw cowhide, and the war horse doesn't have any armor. Iron sand enters the meat, making a snorting sound, accompanied by the aroma of barbecue. At this distance, it is only a wound, but once it is injured and falls, the consequences are very serious, and it will become a stepping stone for the cavalry behind.

Nearly 300 cavalry fell off their horses, and the cavalry behind did not have time to take care of their fallen companions, so they rushed forward one by one on horseback, and as long as they rushed over, they won.

But the second batch of artillery rang out again, and hundreds of cavalry fell off their horses, followed by the third row of artillery. There were less than five hundred black wolf cavalry left in the 1,500 people, and on the grassy slope in the distance, the leader of the black wolf people said angrily: "Hallehu, didn't you say that there will be a long gap after the enemy's artillery is fired? ”

Sweat was also seen on the forehead of the Great Chief, and when the Great Leader became angry, his head was gone.

Hallehu said: "They should have fired in batches, when we attacked the Tunu River, their artillery was very long. ”

"Hmph, you don't dare to lie to me."

The leader wearing a leopard's tail patronized and spoke, and he didn't care that he was already being targeted by the artillery in the camp, mainly because Cui Ye saw that there were many people here, and guessed that there would be a local commander. This cannon is an elongated tiger squat cannon, which is used on the battleship, and Liu Tang and his team are equipped with two, which can weigh 500 catties, and it is inconvenient to carry. Known as the general of Zhenyuan, he can fight three miles.

Yuno personally operated the cannon, raised the angle, and aimed at this guy who seemed to be the leader. The arquebus ignited, and the general of Liangmen Zhenyuan roared, hitting a solid iron egg, the size of a lead ball, flying more than a thousand meters, and slamming on the ground, the force was not reduced, and two horse legs were broken one after another. Another blind cat touched a dead mouse and hit a black wolf cavalryman in the chest, and the chest in leather armor was instantly deflated.

The leader of the black werewolves was taken aback and said in surprise: "How can they have such a long range, they can hit two miles away, retreat." ”

Hallehu said: "Once you retreat, your morale will be affected. ”

The leader of the black werewolf said: "The fool will fight hard and withdraw his troops." ”

The black wolf rode fast and retreated quickly, coming and going like the wind, leaving only the corpses of thousands of people and horses in front of the camp, mainly due to the credit of the tiger squat cannon, of course, it was Pang Wanchun's archers who made meritorious contributions when they were tempted.

Dozens of black werewolves were also found to be slightly injured, these people were hit by iron sand, but they did not die due to the distance, and they were lucky with shit, and they were not trampled to death by the war horses behind.

The black werewolf is wild and difficult to train, and at the beginning of the Black Dragon Island, there was no mine, so the prisoners of war of the black werewolves were generally cut off, Li Kui They love to do this thing the most, Li Kui pinched the neck of a black werewolf, and prepared to cut it with an axe, Liu Tang said: "Li Kui, don't cut it, my brother will order them to stay alive, bandage their wounds, and provide food." ”

Li Kui was a little reluctant, but he couldn't disobey the order, and immediately arranged for these dozens of prisoners to eat and bandage their wounds.

Chao Gai ordered Lü Fang and Guo Sheng to go out with the cavalry to find out the traces of the black wolf cavalry, to see how far they had fled, but not to engage them. It didn't take long for the rangers to report that the black wolf rode all the way to the northeast, and had escaped at least sixty or seventy miles, and it seemed that they were not ready to fight again.

Then Chao Gai invited Pang Wanchun and Li Kui to the Chinese army, as well as Yan Kuohai and Tunu Xiong.

Chao Gai said: "Pang Wanchun and Li Kui, you two take two hundred soldiers and ride on the captured war horses to invite the chiefs of dozens of nearby tribes, remember, they are invited, and tell them that they will arrive at noon tomorrow, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." ”

Yan Kuohai followed Li Kui as the translator, and Tunu Xiong followed Pang Wanchun as the translator. Each of them brought a group of men and horses to inform the chiefs of the tribes to come to the meeting at noon tomorrow.

These tribes are tribes that have been robbed regularly by black werewolves for a long time, and some strong men have even joined the black wolf ride. These tribes are all nomadic tribes who live on herding, with no more than three or five hundred people and few hundred and eighty people. The strength on the grassland is respected, and no one dares not to go to the invitation letter issued by the Jeju regiment. However, they were worried that they would have a plot against them, so they each brought dozens of cavalry.

At noon on the second day, thirty-five tribal chiefs came to the military camp one after another, as well as thousands of cavalry they had brought.

There are hundreds of cauldrons next to it, and fragrant horse meat is boiling in it.

Not far outside the camp, a large pit was being dug when a tribal chief mentally beat a drum and asked, "What are you doing digging a pit?" ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "Yesterday we won the battle, annihilating more than 1,000 black wolf bandits, and hundreds of seriously injured war horses, so please come over and eat horse meat." As for the pit dug over there, it was burying the corpse of the black werewolf. ”
