Section 28 Collision (I)

In later generations, when he was in the international peacekeeping forces, Lao Luo also experienced some negotiations with local indigenous people, poaching organizations, and even local armed forces. When I arrived in this time and space, when I was bored, I thought that there would be a similar scene, but I never thought that the first "negotiation" was actually facing the grassland people of this era.

The Duke is the mount of Lao Luo this time, this short-tempered guy has plenty of explosive power, although the durability and weight-bearing capacity are inferior to the black clouds, but it is enough to carry Lao Luo's body to deal with a small range of battlefields.

Lao Luo squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the dozens of cavalry slowly approaching from the opposite side hundreds of meters away, and farther away was the three black men and horses lined up, and beside him was also the majestic guy of the eighty cavalry guards plus Stan, not far behind him was the garrison camp barricade that was waiting for the battle, and a large number of bed crossbows and slingshot stone throwers were arranged between the gaps in the barracks, and a little farther away were the men and horses of the cavalry school on both sides......

Lao Luo leisurely let the duke move forward slowly, and even had the leisure to observe the dried blood stains and burning marks on the ground mixed with grass clippings and dust, he still had the tough armor of black rhinoceros skin, the well-finished armor was inlaid with black metal fasteners, some blood marks that were difficult to clean were still left on it, it looked mighty and cold-blooded, the hair that could be tied up was scattered on the shoulders at will, and the top of the head was tied up with a cloth to prevent the long hair from affecting the vision, The image made him look like a lion leisurely patrolling his territory with his fill of food and drink......

The only thing that could betray his leisurely state was the long knife and iron-tired bow that hung diagonally from the Duke's back behind him...... Of course, these are just to pretend to deceive outsiders, in fact, as long as Lao Luo wants to attack, he can take out a large number of flying knives and crossbow arrows from the space at any time......

Don't look at Lao Luo's appearance as if there was no one next to him, in fact, he had already scanned all the places where there might be something wrong, but the black and oppressive enemies lined up in the distance really made him not interested - even if it was more than a thousand meters away, Lao Luo could see that those steppe tribes were undisciplined and chaotic, how could an army in this state make him pay attention to it?

In contrast, the soldiers behind Lao Luo were like facing the abyss, whether it was the cavalry academy or the people in the garrison battalion, or even the stout guys of the ballista battalion who were hiding among them and guarding a tree trunk, they were all holding their breath and standing solemnly......

An army may be able to win several battles with blood and courage, but a mature army must not be emotional, and an army that fights with emotions can at most fight with the wind, and once the war is unfavorable, the first to collapse is the so-called enthusiasm and blood. At least that's what Lao Luo thinks, so he doesn't pay any attention to the three people who are shouting and shouting from afar, maybe some of them can be considered good warriors when pulled out, but it is obvious that their discipline is not much better than the combination of warriors of some tribes, at most there are more people in armor, and weapons and horses are better...... Oh, and some bed crossbows and things like that.

In general, in Lao Luo's eyes, it is the same crude and inferior.

Well, there is a little more talk about irrelevant topics. The brigades of the two sides were stationed at a distance of about 3,000 meters, and Lao Luo brought fifty personal soldiers to his entourage, and the leaders of the three divisions, Mahmud and Yusuf. Qadir Khan and Li Deming also brought a total of fifty followers, according to the previous agreement in the arrow book, the two sides met for the first time after fighting once, and the reason why they did not use messengers was because this was not a confrontation between the two countries, in fact, both sides did not regard each other as a "country".

This scene is a bit like a legendary scene in a novel, Lao Luo muttered to himself. As the distance got closer, he could already clearly see the faces of a group of people coming across the street, red turbans, black turbans, and Mingguang armor (that's right, that's it, the party members have not set up any Daxia at this time, and they have not asked the Han people in the jurisdiction to shave the hair on the top of their heads), a bit of a clear meaning, the three people led by him are also very representative, he can easily match the identity of the other party, the red turban with short hair must be the emir of Ghaznavid Mahmud, The one with a black turban, a long beard and a knife shaved his face is not surprisingly the Kadir Khan stationed in Kashgar, and there is only another red-faced person wearing Mingguang armor, except for Li Deming, who will not be anyone else.

Following the duke's footsteps, Lao Luo squinted his eyes and looked at the appearance and expressions of the three people opposite. Mahmud's appearance looks very similar to the Iranians of later generations in Lao Luo's eyes, with heavy eyebrows, a wide face, a square nose, dark brown eyes, and Kadir is a typical eye socket with a hooked nose and a knife face, and a grassland tribal face, as for Li Deming, he is basically an oriental face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, at least Lao Luo can't see the difference between the so-called Dangxiang and the Han people...... As for the expressions, how did he look at them, how did he feel that the three people were not in harmony with each other, just looking at the position of the front and back of their horses, and the entourage behind them, how could those eyes not be the posture of working together to resist the enemy, but ...... Some smell of wariness of each other......

Lao Luo is not wrong at all, although these three have unified opinions, but there was a big controversy before,

Mahmoud, who has complicated experience and thinks about it the most, knows that once the morale of the soldiers is hit, it is difficult to recover in the short term, so his first thought is to think of delaying time, and to rebuild morale is also to prepare for the siege weapons on Luo Kaixian's side. At least this idea was recognized by Li Deming, but neither of them expected that Yusuf would slip away in the face of war. Qadir Khan changed his previous slackness, and kept saying what holy war he was going to launch, and he wanted to recruit the Qarluq tribesmen who were not far away to destroy this man who dared to attack him......

How can that be? At present, there are still as many as 70,000 or 80,000 remaining men and horses in the three divisions, and although he feels demoralized, Mahmoud does not want the Qarluqs to interfere too deeply - who will go to the spoils after the victory? What's more, after the Ghaznavid Turks and the Qarakhanid Qarluqs cooperated to overthrow the rule of the Samanids, they had no less entanglements, although they were mostly Green Christians, and the two sides were not of the same mind.

Although Li Deming was distressed by the loss of his men and horses, he didn't want the Qarlu people to march eastward, God knows what these fanatics who have to kneel and kowtow every day will bring, and he doesn't want to see it at all.

As a result, Mahmud, who was reluctant to get too involved in the Qarluqs, and Li Deming, who did not want outsiders to set foot in the East, joined forces to suppress Yusuf. Qadir Khan's thoughts, so there was a scene that Lao Luo saw on horseback - Mahmoud and Li Deming walked side by side, Yusuf. Kadir Khan was half a step back, but his face was gloomy.

When the two sides approached more than 100 paces, more than 20 guards on Lao Luo's side dismounted at the same time, each holding chest-high iris shields in front of Lao Luo in a half-moon arc, the lower end of the iris shield was directly inserted into the sand on the ground, and their other hand took off the fastened crossbow from their backs...... The rest of the guards, after gathering the rest of the horses, were spread out on both sides facing forward, and the same swords were unsheathed and crossbows wound...... Of course, this is not a precursor to an attack, but a typical guard formation.

Seeing the actions of this side, the three people on the opposite side also began to make defensive actions, the most conspicuous thing was a dozen or so Delaman people with round shields, the reason why they are conspicuous is because these guys like to inlay gems on their shields, and they are also members of the Ghulam Guard, their scimitars are also inlaid with gems, and the guards of Li Deming, the party member, and the guards of the black turban Kadir Khan also move, but they give Lao Luo a bad feeling......

These guys want to cause trouble? That kind of look is not what a guard should have, but like a lone wolf on the grassland...... Lao Luo stared at the other party thirty meters away, he was not worried about his own safety, but once there was a conflict during this kind of negotiation, these close people around him would be a little troublesome......

"Stan, do you see those black turbans?" Old Luo leaned sideways and gestured to Stan beside him.

"General, do you want to kill them?" Stan immediately understood what Lao Luo meant, and casually asked, and even as he spoke, his hand had already touched the hand axe hanging from the armor on his chest. The large guy in his armor is specially made, and in order to match the weapon he uses, there are many hooks on the outside of the armor, so that he can easily attach the throwing axe to it.

"No, at least not now, you pay attention, once they make a move......" Lao Luo's hand waved downward.

"Understood, Lord!"

After arranging everyone's vigilance, Lao Luo continued to set his eyes on the opposite side, there will never be such an example of the commanders of the two sides meeting on the battlefield in the future, and only this era can make him feel the difference between classical wars, the so-called local customs, after all, Lao Luo can't always go his own way like contacting the Byzantines in the Mediterranean, this land will be where he wants to take root, and it is not good to be too different.

Mahmoud and Li Deming and Yusuf. Kadir Khan's height was not short, at least they were only half a head shorter than Lao Luo on horseback, and the guards around them were obviously carefully selected, each of them was strong and powerful, and they were obviously capable men under them.

Mahmoud claimed to be well-informed, from Constantinople and Baghdad to the steppes of Central Asia, he had seen tens of thousands of miles, but he never thought that an Oriental man would make him deflated by tens of thousands of people, and the strong man in black armor on horseback in front of him made his eyes light up, and he shouted loudly: "But General Luo Kaixian in person? ”

Distinguishing the leader from a crowd is a basic skill as a leader, and Mahmoud certainly can't make mistakes, even if Stan Anderson is taller than Lao Luo, but Lao Luo's temperament is very different from others still makes him stand out.

"A certain Luo Kaixian, Mahmoud Emir?" People respect me with courtesy, I can't say anything disrespectful, otherwise I don't look down on the other party, but belittle myself, Lao Luo also replied loudly. He was not surprised that the other party could speak Chinese, according to his understanding, although the Mahmoud opposite was hostile to him, he was really a man of great talent, and it was naturally not difficult to speak a few words.

"I finally saw General Luo, I wonder why General Luo couldn't stay under my Turkic rule? Instead, you want to return to the chaotic East? Mahmoud said nothing about the past, not even the damage of the morning, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile on his face in fluent Chinese.

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person? Lao Luo is a little slanderous, although the Chinese dialect on the other side is full of tongue curling sounds, but it is very similar to the Shaanxi dialect, obviously learned seriously, as a party leader or speaking the king's words, how much can you believe? The other party is forcing himself to say a polite word, and then he can beat the snake with the stick. It's just a pity, but he is not a person who can be fooled with a few polite words, thinking of this, Lao Luo said loudly with the same expression: "I want to thank the Emir of Mahmoud for his hospitality, but Luo is a reckless person, and he is bent on returning to his hometown, and if he stays in Turkic, he doesn't need to mention it again." ”

Hospitality? Mahmoud couldn't help but crook the corners of his mouth, how can such a burly guy speak so badly, are the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command roasting whole sheep or roasting camels? He thought about it for a while and was about to continue speaking, when someone next to Leng Buding popped out a sentence: "People surnamed Wunaro, do you think that tens of thousands of people under your command can do whatever they want on the grassland?" Those who know each other will go to Ben Khan's tent to do Gulam for ten years, otherwise the holy war will be together, and you will all be turned into dry bones on the grassland! ”

But it was Yusuf who was wrapped in a black turban. Kadir Khan!
