Chapter 66: Nomads
"Has the news of the hot air balloon come back?" After observing the scene of the Qing tribe's attack, Luo Chuan returned to the tribe and immediately asked the flying scouts to immediately dispatch and search along the south bank. If you look at the scene www.biquge.info of the attack on the Qing tribe, the enemy should be small, but a strong sense of crisis has been haunting Luo Chuan's heart.
"Not yet, the Gobi and the grassland are not small, and the hot air balloon is estimated to be able to return until the evening." Luo Chuan listened to Yunchen's report, and his fingers kept tapping on the table.
Attacking the giants before, the land of Deserted Summer was almost clearly explored by Luo Chuan, and the people on the Gobi and the grasslands were almost all gathered in Deserted Summer City, and there were absolutely no other races outside. So where did these people come from? Isn't Deserted Summer not what it looks like, and can only be accessed from the Deserted River?
It was only at this moment that Luo Chuan realized that he actually knew too little about Deserted Summer. "In addition, when it comes to the productivity of the Eagle Clan, it doesn't seem to be quite like the local development of the Deserted Summer. If they weren't native Deserted Summers, then how did they get into Deserted Summers from the outside? The Eagle Clan definitely has something to hide from themselves. ”
Luo Chuan was full of thoughts, and the military minds sitting there were silent. They were also waiting, and no one dared to make a decision until the scout delivered the message back.
"Report!" Finally, there was a bulletin outside the door.
"Come in." Hearing the announcement, everyone struck a spirit, and their bodies were straight.
It was a scout who entered, and the safety rope on his body was still unfastened, and the young man was not restrained. "Taizu, captains, the patriarch of the Flying Team One-Yufei reports to you."
"Sit down after a hard work! Tell me about the results of your investigation today. ”
Yu Fei walked directly to the leather map in front of the table. Then he took a wooden stick next to him and focused on the grassland position in the southeast. "Today's reconnaissance found a large number of leather stacks here. There are also many animals that look like cows around the stacks. ”
"It's a tent, and the cow-like animal you mentioned, isn't it that big? Curly hair? "The scouts have not seen it, and it is inevitable that it will be misleading to depict it, this is a military council, and it is terrible when a small mistake eventually leads to a wrong judgment of the result. Luo Chuan had to interrupt the scout's description first.
Seeing Luo Chuan's depiction like this, isn't it the kind of animal you see in the sky, it's really a god. "Taizu, have you ever seen this animal?"
Luo Chuan nodded, "This is an animal called a sheep, by the way, have you seen that kind of animal that can be ridden?" ”
"Yes, that animal can run faster, faster than a giant deer. It's this animal. While listening to his description, Luo Chuan drew the image of a horse with pen and paper, and when he saw Yu Fei nodding, Luo Chuan understood that the other party was indeed a nomad.
"Okay, let's talk about their size." After a long period of training, these scouts now no longer feel that logarithm is a problem.
"There were no less than a thousand knights outside, and there were quite a few people inside the tent, who did not come out. Combined, the number of people is between 3,000 and 5,000. Hearing the size of the number of people described by the scouts, the expressions of the people in the meeting were very different.
Everyone had a relieved expression, only Luo Chuan's face was gloomy and about to drip.
Between 3,000 and 5,000, there were 4,000 people in the middle of the compromise, and with the characteristics of this famous clan, they were warriors on horseback. It is completely possible to assemble a cavalry unit of more than 1,000 people in a short time. In the Cold Weapons War, cavalry is synonymous with kings. Not to mention a thousand, without the protection of the city walls, even a hundred cavalry can easily slaughter a race of thousands of people.
"Dian, I ordered the Hurricanes to rush to the northeast immediately. Once the area here is attacked, immediately organize all ethnic groups to retreat to the north bank. I ordered you to take the Xingtian Crossbow Type 2 and build a beacon here. Anyway, give me this place to die. Seeing Luo Chuan so dignified, everyone suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as they looked like. The two people who got the order quickly ran out to make arrangements.
"Adong, I will arrange for all the fighters sent out before to be recalled. These warriors will lead some of the warriors of the rest of the clans, and you will need to do a good job of training. ”
Luo Chuan had to make preparations, and if he wanted peace, he first had to use the corresponding deterrent force. The immature Desert Summer obviously doesn't have this strength. In the eyes of these people, the tribes of Deserted Summer are stripped girls who can be ravaged at will. Moreover, even if he wanted to make peace with Luo Chuan, he would not agree, and all the 131 mouths of the Qing clan were slaughtered. There are some things that you have to pay for once you do them.
"The Qing people were slaughtered as soon as possible, and a group of foreign races with a size of several thousand people appeared in the southeast." The news spread throughout the Deserted Summer Clans in an instant. But the reaction of these tribes is that they are too slow, "Why don't you want the land that you have planted so hard?" ”
As a result, two more tribes were attacked in just two days. If the SARS soldiers arrived just in time, it is estimated that these two tribes will follow in the footsteps of the Qing tribe. Everyone was finally scared, and Dian promised everyone that after retreating to the north, they would definitely not let everyone go hungry, and it wouldn't take much time for Taizu to bring someone to fight back.
These tribes also saw the power of the warriors' huge beds of rage, which could shoot people through even if they fired an arrow on the other side of the river, and it should not take long to hit them back.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway, and it is clear that this kind of crossbow is really limited in lethality for these high-speed and mobile cavalry. If it wasn't a sneak attack before, if you really had to set up a position, your team might not be able to withstand an impact from the other party.
The actions of the various tribes caused a violent reaction from these outsiders. "The tribal migration goods are really scarce, the cattle and sheep are not fat, if we let these people run to the other side of the river, who will we rob?"
A large number of men climbed onto the horses, and this time it was not the previous skirmishes of dozens or hundreds of people, and the vast majority of the men of the tribe were involved in this operation.
The cavalry came quickly, and these small tribesmen who just had some private assets were reluctant to give up, and the distance of a short river seemed to be life and death. Fortunately, the retreat was done well in advance. By the time the cavalry arrived, they were left with empty houses.
The men did not achieve their goal and took out their anger on the premises. Suddenly, there was a fire on the shore, and the people of all ethnic groups who fled to the other side kept shouting and scolding, and now they hated these people to death.
There was no grabbing here, and these knights did not give up and continued down the river. The cavalry marched quickly and saw two forts in front of them that formed an angle. Looking from the middle of the fort, there are many houses in the back. "Rush! Woowoo"
The two forts are civil structures, and the earth on the outer walls is still wet, apparently newly built. The real gas boiler inside had already begun to spew white smoke.
The knights on the opposite side could only see a large cloud of heat coming from the top of the fortress, followed by a crisp sound of metal grinding. "Earn!" Then the huge bolts grew bigger and bigger in front of your eyes.
