Section 824 Sending Horses
The light-hearted conversation didn't last long, only a scream of "ah" was heard, followed by a heavy thud, and the sound echoed around the snowfield, and even the soldiers who were accustomed to seeing blood felt that the hairs on their bodies were shrinking!
It turned out that a tired soldier had stumbled and fallen off a snow cliff, and the telescopes were pointed together with the telescopes to the place where he had fallen, and then gloomily lowered the telescopes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The soldier fell into a deep crack in the snow at the bottom of the mountain and disappeared completely.
The distance is far away and it is impossible to rescue.
There is no one in life, and there is no corpse in death!
Maybe it's the fate of the soldiers, Shi Wanchao closed his eyes, gave the unfortunate comrade a moment of silence for ten seconds, and then ordered: "Keep going, it's dark before camping!" ”
Even after being tired, the army continued to advance, and the conditions along the way continued, some were frostbitten, several fingers were missing, ears fell off at the slightest tear, feet were rotten, and snow blindness was suffered. There are also those who have broken their legs,
But the army is still moving forward, the altitude sickness is gradually weakening, the spirit is full, and the lag rate is not high at all!
Guide Carridge looked surprised, he was a qualified guide, he was a caravan before, and he led the way for the tribe and the army of the Great Cannibals, but none of the teams performed so well as the Tang people!
Either they will be left behind, or they will be wounded or sick, and they will surely suffer heavy losses on long marches.
Like the current unit, it was still fully loaded after more than three days of departure, and the marching speed was very fast, showing a very professional level of mountain climbing and the ability to withstand the cold.
Their clothes are protected from rain and snow, they are well supplied, and they are very physically fit and adapted to the highland climate.
The tribal army that acted with them moved on the (Persian) plateau, and fell behind on the march, unable to keep up with the pace of the Tang people.
Another day, the terrain is low, but it is not easy to walk.
There are streams, lakes, depressions and moraines formed by the melting snow in the mountains, and it is not easy for everyone to climb the mountains and wade through the water.
There is a blocking road ahead, and a river is separated by a belt, and the river is turbulent and rumbling.
Touching the cold river water, Shi Wanchao was so cold that half of his arm was numb quickly.
Even so, the river still has to be crossed!
Seeing the mountains and opening the road and building bridges in the water is exactly the true character of the engineers, and the professional equipment they use has opened the eyes of the guides.
Before to cross the river, the near one threw the rope over, and the far one had to carry the tow rope to the past, and the Tang engineer had a "skimming crossbow", tied one end of the rope to the iron hook, launched it with a crossbow, tied it to the bushes on the other side of the river, and then pulled up the long rope, which was already high, and those engineers set up a wheel on the rope, and crossed to the river with a whoosh.
So they built a rope bridge, and their ropes, with wires in them, were exceptionally strong enough to pass heavy loads.
The troops fought for the first place, and after a day of travel, the terrain increased again, and from a bird's-eye view of the mountain, they saw a valley that was a sight to behold: a wide stream of water that meandered through the alpine meadows, flowed slowly forward, the river flowed southward, and finally into a narrow lake surrounded by mountains, the end of which was obscured by the mist of the lake, and where the scenery was pleasing to the eye.
It is the destination of this operation ... The "Garider" tribe, they are blessed with the most fertile land, have the advantage of water and grass, can raise a lot of livestock, and the most densely populated, most of the other areas are vast wilderness.
Because they were full of confidence in their own geographical advantages, and because they were lazy and unsentry of the tribesmen, they did not notice the arrival of the Tang people, did not use the terrain to make any obstacles, and let the Tang people set foot on their pastures.
"Naru!" The desolate horn blew up, the tribesmen panicked, running around like headless flies, some of them hurriedly ran back to the camp on the mountain near the lake in the distance, and others actually gathered hundreds of horsemen, and slaughtered the Tang army with great momentum!
"Humph!" Shi Wanchao put them in his eyes, he sneered and said, "I can kill them all by myself!" ”
In the midst of laughter, the Tang people gathered and took the roll call.
The troops are coming down from the mountains one after another, and the number is increasing!
The hundred-rider "Garider" tribe pounced, and was met with a dense barrage of bows and arrows!
The Tang people put the bow and arrow in the waterproof oil cylinder, and when it encounters rain and snow, it is not damp, and it is still full of strength to use.
Stand still with your bow and take your lunge and aim at the target.
"Shoot people, don't shoot horses!" The officer shouted.
The arrows whistled away, and unsurprisingly, the tribesmen fell from the arrows, and in the face of the arrows that were almost industrially produced by the Tang people, the cloth clothes on the tribesmen's people did not play a slight role in resisting, so they were shot to the ground one after another.
Accurate shooting, few arrows hit horses, all of them were people.
Even if the opponent crouched on the horse's neck and covered the front, he shot at the experienced Tang army in the side direction and shot them off their horses.
The Tang people's bow and arrow ability is really not bad, and they are good at cross-shooting, not to mention the tribesmen, even the regular army of Dashi is difficult to please under their bows and arrows.
Amid the screams, the tribesmen of Garridel fell off their horses, and their horses rushed towards the ranks of the Dons, and immediately many of them were excited to meet the windfall.
One of the Tang soldiers, seeing an ownerless horse, happily stepped forward, but unexpectedly, a person suddenly appeared in the saddle of the seemingly unmanned horse, waved his scimitar, and slashed at him!
Not good, someone sneaked up!
Originally, this guy's riding skills were not inferior, so he came to hide in a kick, used the cover of other horses, rushed close to the Tang people, and suddenly attacked!
Because the Tang soldier wanted to grab the horse, he didn't have time to parry with his weapon, so in a hurry, he raised his left hand to block the opponent's scimitar.
With a fierce knife, the other party used horsepower to split him out of the way.
Then the tribesman who sneaked up on him, failed to chase and cut the second knife, and an arrow flew in the distance, which was piercing his neck, the bow was strong, and there was no armor to block it, and the arrow stretched out from the back of the neck, and the tribesman instantly screamed for his life.
Tang Bing, who had been stabbed, was in severe pain and did not react in a daze, his comrades-in-arms hurriedly surrounded him, checked it carefully, and laughed and said, "This lucky boy! ”
It turned out that in a hurry, Tang Bing blocked the knife with a wrist guard, and did not forget to tilt the angle, but the knife split the strong wrist guard and broke his hand bones, but failed to cut him off!
What a thing!
……
The unlucky Tang soldiers were the only ones injured, and in addition, the "Garider" tribesmen failed to hurt the Tang people at all, and some guys saw that the situation was not good, so they fled immediately.
This time, the Tang people shot the horse!
With the long neighing of the horses, the Tang people took the fallen man prisoner.
More than 100 riders are pure meat buns to beat dogs and send horses.
Some Tang Jun said arrogantly: "I didn't have any strength, and you fell!" ”
Got hundreds of horses, for the tired Tang Army is not without a small supplement, someone also sent Shi Wanchao a good horse, tall and long-legged Shi Wanchao legs across, on the horse, sitting on the saddle, legs can touch the ground.
Everyone burst into laughter!
