Section 66 Exchange (5)
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo-woo-woo......" several horns sounded in succession.
The first long whistle is for everyone to get on guard, the second long whistle is for the preparation of the charge, and the next continuous short whistle is to urge the battle.
As soon as the horse's hooves sounded, the dust and grass clippings in the calm open field began to fly wildly.
There was silence all around, but the atmosphere on the field felt a little strange to others, and the party members shouted after the horses had started, but Alker, Hasna, Fisher, and the others did not say a word.
No one asked for these details, though.
The distance between the two warriors is only four or five hundred meters, and ordinary people only need a hundred numbers to run, let alone a two-way cavalry collision charge?
Therefore, the combat time only needs a moment, there is no time to think too much, and all the actions on horseback completely rely on the most basic combat instinct of the warrior, that is, the "dignified and upright" mentioned above, in this case, there is no shortcut, it is pure hard power.
Of course, for ordinary people, it is already a blessing not to be frightened, and this short moment is good at most to do something like a shield, but it is nothing for an experienced warrior.
The moment the horses came out of battle, everyone's weapons were already in place, and as they galloped forward, the archers of both formations began to shoot arrows as fast as they could. It's just that the difference is a bit big, the armor defense of Alker and Hasna and others is good, and they are running wildly, and the bows and arrows of the party are just ordinary iron-headed arrows, so they are basically useless.
Alke's scout warriors were all excellent in archery, and they were equipped with hard bows and armor-piercing arrows, although the time was short and there were only two opportunities to shoot arrows, but more than two dozen people on the party member Hammer Duo were planted and dismounted.
In the dense charging formation, it is difficult for the people who fall off the horse to save their lives, so there is basically no need to think about them, but the panicked horses disrupt the cavalry formation commanded by Quemu Duo, and it also affects the galloping speed of the rear team.
It's going to be fatal.
It is necessary to know that the first attribute of the cavalry charge of cold weapon warfare is speed, without the speed advantage, the comparison between cavalry and infantry is just a matter of height difference, and there may not be infantry flexible and mobile.
So, in the face of the extremely fast forward boar Hasna, the cavalry of the Almond Duo was completely sad, and the Hasna who occupied the speed advantage took the two hundred people under his command to benefit from it, avoiding the Alchem Duo who took the lead, and slanted into the team behind the Almond Duo, the long weapon in his hand swung sideways, but the short weapon of the party was useless at all, but the horse's mistaken kung fu, the sound of tearing armor and the image of blood splashing bloomed at the same time......
Alk led people to sweep around the perimeter, the arrows in their hands were even faster, when it came to the bloody ferocity of killing, Alk may not be as bloody as Hasna, but the efficiency was far better than that of the rough boar, under his leadership, the archery skills of the scout cavalry were maximized, all the arrows either ran to the throat of the enemy, or took advantage of the moment the enemy raised his hand to shoot directly under the ribs - that was the weakest point of leather armor.
Fisher led the fewest men, but did the most meticulous work, and the weapons they used were all spears and round shields, which were covered by round shields and stabbed with spears, which belonged to the style of both offense and defense. In the face of such an opponent, how can the party members who are anxious to lose the party have the advantage?
Under the unstable mentality, the party members who are even more abnormal in their performance no longer have the courage to fight.
The rest of the time is garbage time, Alker takes people to take charge of the distance, Hasna after cutting through the cavalry formation of Mahakiduo, he comes back to kill, Mahjongduo's personal bravery is useless, a few attacks are all resisted by the armor of the warriors, at most the soldiers of the cavalry school are knocked off the horse, but the lethality is not enough, and when he reins the war horse and turns back, there are not many warriors behind him.
In just a few minutes, only a few dozen of the soldiers sent by Lao Luo's side fell off their horses, but only more than 20 people on the party side led by Yu Muduo were able to stay on horseback, and there was no suspense in the battle so far.
The people around the audience began to shout, the faces of the prisoners in the training camp were a little gloomy, and there was a hint of horror when Polo City and some people from small tribes and those merchants exchanged ears, but the people in the old Robben camp were very indifferent.
"General Li, do you want to compare? The victory and defeat have been divided, and to continue is nothing but a waste of the life of the warrior. Although it is considered hostile, Lao Luo doesn't want to continue, because winning or losing is a foregone conclusion, and the goal he wants to achieve has been achieved, and there is really no point in continuing.
"Stop...... It doesn't have to be compared. Li Deming said with a frustrated face: "Please General Luo give the order to stop, admit defeat!" ”
Li Deming's only luck psychology has been completely dispelled, and the previous gambler's mentality of desperate gamblers has completely disappeared. The place where he stood was a temporary dirt slope, and he could faintly hear the chatter of the surrounding crowd of spectators, although it was too messy to be heard, but a casual speculation could tell that it was unfavorable to him.
Li Deming, who can achieve the position of the leader of the party members, is not a product given for nothing, how can he not tell the failure of his temptation this time? In this situation, although it was only a battle of hundreds of soldiers, he suddenly felt that he had lost more things invisibly, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Lao Luo glanced at Li Deming's expression, and didn't bother to ask the other party to declare the master-slave oath or something, and directly ordered people to stop this boring duel. It's just that this time is a little late, and only seventeen or eighteen of the party soldiers can still maintain a fighting posture, but they are also scarred.
"Siddeck, get General Lee back to his station!" Old Luo Lang commanded.
"Obey, Lord!"
"By the way, there are still a dozen or so people left on the field who can be arranged with General Li and ask Haydn to bring people to treat their injuries, but don't bring weapons."
"Understood, Lord!"
A farce was hastily concluded.
According to the rules, Li Deming should swear allegiance to Lao Luo, the victor, in public after the battle, but Lao Luo didn't care about the so-called oath, so this procedure was not carried out at all.
……
At dusk, after dinner, Li Xuan pulled Li Zheng to chat with Lao Luo.
"San Lang, today's events are really morale-boosting!" Li Xuan almost gave a thumbs up with both hands to praise Lao Luo.
"What's the reaction of those businessmen and the like?" Lao Luo ignored the words of praise, but asked the reaction of outsiders, if it wasn't for the consideration of deterring outsiders, he would not agree to such a boring duel.
The merchants were terrified, and many said they had never seen such fierce cavalry. The Turks and the Qarluqs were incomparable, and several merchants from Rome said that their guards were of this level. "The battlefield effect is good, and Li Xuan was full of honorable expressions when he recounted it.
"How's it going over there with the Hosa?" It's all on the head, there is no need to pour cold water, Lao Luo turned his head and asked Li Zheng, who received those tribesmen.
Li Zheng's expression was very similar to Li Xuan's, "There are no other words, they are all the same, the Hosa people want to buy some weapons that our soldiers use, I don't know what to do?" ”
"Weapons can be sold, but armor is not sold, but some of the previous loot can be disposed of, but what do the Hosa people use to trade?"
"The Hosa people have herbs that are said to be very effective, and their veterinarians are very good at treating diseases of cattle, horses and sheep."
"Good, that's all!" Lao Luo is very relieved that he is a good diplomat who can gather interests for his own side, and it is obvious that this Li Zheng has found the key point.
"San Lang, there are many hopes that the people of Polo City can take refuge in us, and some hope that we can ......stay here," Li Xuan next to him precipitated his expression and said.
"No," Lao Luo shook his head in denial, "at most ten days, we will set off." But I can tell them that in a few years, our people will be back. ”
"San Lang, you mean ......" Li Xuan's eyes widened.
"I can't say anything about this yet, Brother Xuan. Things need to be done step by step! Lao Luo waved his hand to stop Li Xuan's questioning.
"Okay......" Li Xuan was also a little helpless, it was useless for Lao Luo to ask about what he didn't want to say, he had long been used to it all the way, "However, after today's competition, why don't you ask that Li Deming to swear to obey?" ”
"Heh, what kind of person does Brother Xuan think Li Deming is?" Lao Luo asked rhetorically, but he didn't wait for the other party to answer before he gave the answer, "Li Deming is a hero, any oaths and words are useless, if he kneels on the ground and swears at that time, according to the habits of the grassland, I will also swear to protect the safety of the party members, so it is a constraint for us, but there is also a guard against the other party not knowing when to break the contract." ”
"This ......" Li Xuan didn't know how to understand Lao Luo's thoughts, and was a little speechless for a while.
"Don't think about it so much, Brother Xuan!" Lao Luo continued very casually, "The day after tomorrow, Dou Lao will lead a team to the east of Abbey Lake to collect manganese and salt, if the people of Polo City are willing to follow, they can go together, and the cavalry academy will go to the soldiers of the three capitals to follow the guards." ”
"Good!" Li Xuan also stopped thinking, he couldn't understand this kind of thing, so he didn't bother anymore, and it was more important to do the things at hand well.
……
Seeing off the two, when Lao Luo felt relaxed, he was a little tired. It is the body that is relaxed, but the tiredness comes from the indescribable depths of the soul.
The most critical matter of manpower integration is close to completion, and there are still a few days to go, and his heart seems to have flown to the yellow earth thousands of miles away, and he doesn't know how that land is different from the "past" in the past?
There are still 4,000 miles to go to the east, and the Uighurs, the Guiyi Army, the Dangxiang people, and the other big forces, as well as the different small tribes, will they really retreat and let their team of more than 100,000 people calmly "pass by"? What are the Zhao Song and Northern Liao in the East?
After all, the records obtained from books are not as real as what the eyes see, and Lao Luo is also a little involuntary hesitation in the expectation.

P.S. The second watch, it seems that it is too late, and there will be two changes tomorrow.
