Chapter Forty-Eight: Mighty Desert
Chen Yu, the leader of the rebel army, and Shi Du, the third son of the former Rouran Khan, met in an extremely desolate and secluded place, and the two sides held a cordial meeting on the principles of peace, friendship, equality and mutual benefit. Chen Yu first stressed that the two sides should stand on a strategic height, grasp the general direction of long-term friendship and common development, and should understand and tolerate each other when it comes to each other's core interests.
Shi Du agreed with Chen Yu's viewpoint and stressed that the leaders of the two sides should maintain close exchanges, and at the same time, they should strengthen in-depth exchanges in the fields of culture and trade, so as to gather a broad mass base for cooperation between the two sides.
Chen Yu expressed his willingness to unconditionally support Rouran's Chinese language teaching, encourage long-term exchanges between non-governmental and official cultural institutions of the two sides, and hope to strengthen cooperation in the tourism industry and promote the development of the tertiary industry.
Shi Du said that a free trade agreement should be done as soon as possible, and cooperation in the construction of special trade zones should be carried out.
Chen Yu hopes to help Rouran actively promote infrastructure construction and cooperate with Rouran in agricultural science and technology.
said a lot, translated into that Chen Yu is not only trade, but also ready to carry out cultural infiltration of Rouran, of course, not only teaching Chinese, but also farming and other lifestyles must be infiltrated, and Shi Du only cares about the support that the rebel army can provide in the military aspect, as for the trade between the two sides, the only thing Shi Du cares about is what can be exchanged for wine, because Shi Du has a desire for thyme......
Chen Yu was still a little dissatisfied with the fact that the Brahmin only sent his third son to negotiate, but when Chen Yu knew that the Brahmin headquarters was seriously threatened by Anapu, the Brahmin really couldn't leave, and the news that the eldest son and the second son of the Brahmin had hung up in the previous battle with the high chariot, Chen Yu's dissatisfaction in his heart was alleviated.
"Prince Shi Du, celebrate our successful transaction, I toast you!" Chen Yu raised his glass as he spoke.
"Haha, with your thyme wine, of course business is easy to discuss, but Brother Chen, why are you drinking wine!" Shi Du picked up the bowl of thyme and asked curiously.
"Your Excellency Prince, you use a bowl, of course, suitable for drinking liquor, and I use a luminous cup, of course, suitable for drinking wine!" In order to deepen Shi Du's cognition, Chen Yu also deliberately chanted a poem, "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately." Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? ”
After Chen Yu finished reading the poem, he thought that the other party would applaud immediately, and then praised him, but he didn't expect Shi Du to react.
"You were just reciting poetry?" Shi Du asked curiously.
"Nope! I'm singing. Chen Yu said angrily.
"Brother Chen! There's a saying I don't know if to say or not! Shi Du said with a serious face.
"The prince said that it doesn't matter, it's normal to bargain for business, and buying and selling is not benevolent, and I think the price I offer is very fair!" Chen Yu said righteously.
"I don't have any opinion on business, what I want to say is that you really don't have any talent for singing, you should try not to sing in the future!" Shi Du sincerely persuaded.
Chen Yu didn't care about the ramming goods that couldn't tell the difference between poetry and singing, and Chen Yu felt that the fish should also take the bait.
"Brother Chen, I don't have something on my mind, I heard Lou Zhao say that you just got married, it seems that you miss the wife at home, our transaction is very successful today, as for the alliance, although it is so-so, it is okay, why don't we go back to our respective homes and find our daughters-in-law?" Shi Du said with a look on his face that I am good for you.
"The Lord found the Rouran Tartar in front of him, and the number was no less than 10,000 horses!" Qian Ergou ran over to report, and suddenly he noticed that Shi Du's face was wrong, and immediately changed his words: I found that the cavalry of the Rouran rebel Anapu is probably tens of thousands.
"Brother Chen, don't panic, I still have a thousand cavalry in my hand, plus your thousand cavalry, it's not that we can't escape, if you don't want to run, it's okay, I will definitely help you avenge your revenge in the future!" Shi Du said extremely righteously, after the transaction between the two sides was completed, Shi Du had already sent someone to pull the goods back, so he was now light and light, and he was not afraid of enemy attacks.
"Fight the enemy!" Chen Yu ordered loudly, and then Chen Yu turned his head to Shi Du and said: "More than 10,000 cavalry, my guards can just form a formation, Prince Shi Du, you can watch the battle from the sidelines, you don't have to be afraid, I will definitely protect your safety." ”
"Wine can also get drunk, Brother Chen's alcohol is really ......" Shi Du sighed, and shouted at his subordinates: "There are too few cavalry of the rebel army, and their leaders have drunk too much, let's help them once, and the sons are ready to retreat...... Oh! I mean, prepare to attract enemy fire! ”
", Your Majesty the Prince, you really don't have to panic, this is a trivial matter, you wait safely, when the enemy soldiers escape, you and I can attack together!" Chen Yu ran over and grabbed Shi Du's arm and shouted, Chen Yu didn't want Shi Du to miss his performance to show off his muscles.
Shi Du also saw that Chen Yu didn't seem to have drunk too much at this time, although he didn't believe that Chen Yu could do anything, but seeing that Chen Yu was so strongly requested, he was embarrassed to run away again, he tightened the horse rope and let the troops stand by, Shi Du thought to himself that when the time came, he would not take advantage of the chaos to smear oil on the soles of his feet, anyway, with you dragging the enemy army, it would be easy for him to escape.
Shi Du found that Chen Yu's so-called guards formed a formation very quickly, and a semi-circular chariot riding array was instantly made by them.
The cavalry of the Rouran brigade roared, and when the distance was one hundred and fifty paces, the crossbowmen began to shoot, and many of Chen Yu's volunteer soldiers had kung fu foundations themselves, and their movements were quite proficient.
At sixty paces, the archers began to shoot, and the Rouran cavalry fell down in rows, and when the enemy was twenty paces, the crossbowmen abandoned their crossbows and picked up their weapons and counterattacked head-on, and Shi Du found that hundreds of soldiers stood up, still holding something new that Shi Du had never heard of.
"What a long knife! Does this weapon have a name? Shi Du asked curiously.
"Mo Dao!" Chen Yu stared at the battlefield nervously, and he didn't care about explaining Shi Du carefully.
Many people think that the Mo knife is constantly slashing, like a meat grinder, chopping the enemy into slag, in fact, the Mo knife can also be stabbed, wide and sharp and bright Mo knife, when they stand in a row, the huge deterrent force to the enemy is incomparable to the spear, and when the Mo knife plays a stab, slash, split, and cut, the enemy only needs to cry.
Mo knife wielded, ghosts cried wolves, and dead bodies were everywhere......
After all, the requirements for soldiers are also very high, and the poor health cannot be used at all, so Chen Yu has no plans to continue to produce Mo knives for the time being, and the greater significance of Chen Yu's use of Mo knives is to deter the enemy.
Chen Yu already has a weapon with strong actual lethality and easy to produce, that is, the hook sickle gun, the cost of hook sickle production is almost negligible compared with the Mo knife, and this weapon has a lot lower requirements for the physical fitness of the soldiers.
Shi Du was already stupid, the scene in front of him was beyond his cognition, in the previous battles between cavalry and infantry, cavalry had an absolute advantage, often winning more with less, outnumbered by the enemy, but today everything is reversed.
"Your Majesty the Prince, you rest first, the enemy has collapsed in chaos, I will lead the cavalry to attack first, and after defeating the enemy army in a while, I will come back to drink with you!" Chen Yu said that he turned over and got on his horse, and then took the Young Pioneers led by his five tiger generals and rushed directly towards the other party.
"Rest a fart, I can't drink any more soup!" Shi Du immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Charge me, the infantry can't compare to others, and our cavalry must not lose ......."
