Chapter 587: Cloudy

The leaders of the tribes such as Sboguli had begun to separate their ranks at this moment, and the young and middle-aged warriors were to stay behind to guard Montenegro, and the old and weak women and children, as well as supplies, cattle and sheep, etc., bypassed Montenegro and continued to march westward.

Chu Huan didn't know where he was going, he only saw the tragic scenes of separation.

The people of the Nashi tribe suddenly encountered this disaster, but they did not have a fearful heart, just like any ethnic group in history, when they encountered an unprecedented disaster, they would hold hands and fearlessly meet the coming disaster.

The men kissed goodbye to their Qin people, and asked the last words, everyone knew that the disaster encountered by the Gulaqin grassland this time was too dangerous, and the tens of thousands of iron horsemen chasing from the Qingluo Royal City were approaching quickly, they were wielding sharp sabers, and this time the Gulaqin grassland would pay huge sacrifices whether it was victory or defeat, and there would be countless Gulaqin warriors who died in this war.

No one dares to guarantee that they will survive after this battle, and their parents and wives will continue to evacuate to the west, and no one knows whether they will be able to see each other alive if they say goodbye to Montenegro.

Under the Black Mountain, people stretching for dozens of miles are making their final farewells, some are holding their wives and children, with smiles on their faces, instructing their wives to raise their children to be brave warriors like their fathers, some are newly married, holding the hands of their new wives, telling that if there is really an afterlife, they must continue to be together, and some are holding their white-haired parents, kissing their wrinkled foreheads, promising to live and continue to be filial to their parents.

Some people forced a smile, some were sad, there was not much time for them to continue together, the heralds shouted for people to continue on the road, people held back their backs, reluctant to part, before the family left, kissed the soldier's cheek, Xu Yuan God blessed, able to let their children or husbands survive in this cruel war.

Chu Huan and Mahazang walked forward, walked through the crowd, and looked at the parting people, Mahazang's expression was calm, but Chu Huan's heart felt gloomy.

The cause of this war is nothing more than the power struggle between the two princes, but the struggle between the two has spread into a bloody war of thousands of people, and it will also create countless broken families.

The three peaks of Montenegro were all hurrying to build fortifications at this time.

In fact, the construction of fortifications by the Western Liang people is really simple, in the vast land of the Western Liang Empire, there are not many cities, and the confrontation of the army has always been straightforward, and it is rare to rely on the fortifications for defensive warfare.

Moreover, the resources of the Gulaqin grassland are mainly cattle, sheep and horses, and other resources are very scarce, and there are not enough materials to build strong fortifications.

Sohab Yuanzhen obeyed the military order of Mahazang, and led the people to Montenegro in advance, and arrived in Montenegro three days earlier than the large group of men and horses.

The fortifications of Xiliang, in the eyes of the original people, are extremely simple, but the shallow methods of building fortifications of the Xiliang people are really learned from the original.

Mahazang and Chu Huan rode to the foot of the main peak, pointed to the main peak and said, "This is the ...... of the Eagle Head Peak!" Pointing to the left and right, "Over there is the left-winged peak, and over there is the right-winged peak, brother, do you think these three peaks are connected, like an eagle that has been spreading its wings?" ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Eldest Prince, why is this place not called Eagle Mountain, but Black Mountain?" ”

"Montenegro is a name that has always been handed down." Mahazang said, "Maybe the stones here are all black. Touching the mustache, he said, "Eagle Mountain? Brother, this name is not bad, and after this battle, if I can survive, from now on, this place will be renamed Eagle Mountain. ”

Chu Huan smiled, and Maha hid the horse, and went up to the Eagle Head Mountain, there is no road up the mountain, maybe the previous road has also been destroyed, there are potholes everywhere, uneven, there are people with a hammer to smash stones, looking at the steep mountain wall, Chu Huan felt that although this black mountain is not high, it is not dangerous, but it is really used to resist the cavalry, it is indeed very effective, Suo Habu Yuanzhen deliberately let people destroy the unevenness of the mountain wall, and the horses cannot rush up the mountain peak at all.

From halfway up the mountain, there are fortifications built.

The so-called fortifications are actually stone walls made of stones, perhaps because the number of stones is not enough, so the stone walls are only half a person high, and on the outer layer of the stone wall, wooden pillars with the thickness of an arm are nailed to the ground to prevent the stones from rolling down.

To the top of the mountain, there were only two such fortifications, and they had not yet been completed, and many of the warriors were shirtless, carrying stones, and others nailing wooden pillars with hammers.

In addition to the necessary weapons, bows and arrows, food and water were also indispensable, and Sohab Yuanzhen had already collected a large amount of food and water from nearby tribes according to the instructions of Mahazang and Nasboguli.

The Mahara army is coming, menacing, everyone also knows that the elite of Mahara's men are exhausted, that is bound to catch Mahazang before he is willing to rest, once the siege of Montenegro is besieged, no one knows how long this war will last, there is not enough food and water on the side of Gulaqin, even if the other side does not capture Montenegro, it will have to surrender because of the lack of food and water, and in the war in the steppe, once one side surrenders, it is likely to be a bloody massacre.

When Mahazang led Chu Huan to inspect the Eagle Head Peak, the Spoguli was dispatching his clan leaders to start arranging quickly, although Sohabu Yuan Jian arrived in advance, but there were not many people and horses, except for the fortifications of the Eagle Head Peak, most of the fortifications of the other two peaks were just beginning.

At this time, six or seven out of ten of the large and small tribes of the Gulaqin steppe had rushed to Montenegro, and the soldiers and horses gathered under Montenegro to participate in the battle had exceeded more than 15,000 people.

According to the previous strategy, the troops were arranged on the three peaks, more than 15,000 people, evenly distributed among the three peaks, each peak exceeded 5,000 people, and each peak was only allowed to erect one kind of flag, that is, the golden wolf's head banner representing Mahazang.

The royal flag of Xiliang is the golden Great Sun Flag, and the banner of the Great Prince is the golden wolf's head flag, which is the head of a golden old man.

In order to prevent Mahara from attacking one mountain peak with heavy troops, it has been determined in advance that all three peaks have erected golden wolf head banners, so that the enemy cannot determine the location of Mahazang, and also to disperse the enemy's forces.

Although most of the Gulaqin warriors were herdsmen, but the order was forbidden, the execution of the order was very strict, after the military order was issued, the teams immediately according to the order, assembled on the hill where they were located, and after arriving, the leaders immediately began to personally take the lead in building fortifications.

After arriving first, Sohab had already ordered the tribes near Montenegro to participate in the construction of fortifications, and sent men to search for supplies, in addition to weapons and food, and also to search for a large number of wood, and the woods near Montenegro had already been cut down and transported to Montenegro for the construction of parapets.

Chu Huan followed Mahazang and inspected the three mountains, and at dusk, Na Sboguli had already found Mahazang in a hurry, and said: "The eldest prince, the men and horses sent have already found out the movements of the Mahara army, and the vanguard of 10,000 people of Mahajra will arrive in Montenegro early tomorrow morning at the latest." ”

Mahazang stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, looking at the place where heaven and earth were connected, his fists clenched, his eyes showing a cold killing intent, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a cold smile.

……

……

On the vast grassland to the east of the Gulaqin grassland, 10,000 cavalry were rapidly advancing to the west, and the black oppressive men and horses looked neat and uniform, iron-clad and golden, full of murderous aura.

Along the way, all along the way were only the ruined things left by the retreat of Gulaqin, and many messy things that could not be taken away, which made this cavalry even more full of high morale.

This is the vanguard led by the king of the North Courtyard of the West Liang, Maha Vajra.

This vanguard is composed of 3,000 Babaitu cavalry and 7,000 tarik cavalry, and the armor is also divided into two types, which is the most elite army in the empire, and its equipment is also the most sophisticated in the empire.

Maha Vajra people as his name, burly, rough and dark skin, he was born in the Maha royal family, since childhood martial arts, in the West Liang country is known for martial arts, although Maha Zang was named the first warrior of the West Liang, but Maha King Kong has always felt that Maha Zang is taking advantage of the prince's identity, in his opinion, the real first warrior of the West Liang country, should be his Maha Vajra.

Maha Vajra is dressed in golden armor, shining gold, unusually conspicuous, his crotch is also an extremely divine horse, but there are two copper hammers hanging around his waist, this pair of copper hammers is called the King Kong Demon Hammer, the entire West Liang, can unfold this pair of copper hammers, that is only a handful.

Behind Maha Vajra, followed by several generals, all of whom were brave and good at fighting.

A few horses galloped forward, and a cavalryman had already reported loudly: "King, all the troops of Gulaqin have retreated to Montenegro, preparing to deploy defenses in Montenegro to resist our army!" ”

"How many men do they have?"

"Return to the king, more than 10,000 people!"

Maha Vajra touched his beard and said, "Only so many people? That's not enough for my sons to kill! He turned around and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little prince has made us the vanguard, although we are only the vanguard, but we have to take on the mission of exterminating Gulaqin." By the time the king hoped that the little prince would arrive, the slaves of Gulaqin would already kneel under our whip! ”

Most of the generals behind him laughed, and Maha Vajra glanced at one of them and asked, "Ye Lizir, look at your appearance, it seems that you are sympathizing with them?" ”

The general who called Ye Lizier immediately said: "Don't dare, this time with the king as a pioneer, it is a great honor for Ye Lizier, Ye Lizier will kill the enemy bravely!" ”

Maha Vajra squinted his eyes and smiled: "Ye Lizier, if you really make a great contribution this time, this king will ask the little prince for credit for you, and the position of deputy commander of Babaitu will not be given to you!" His expression suddenly became cold: "But if you really want to meet Mahazang, you don't have to worry about the old feelings, you are reluctant to attack him, you don't forget, he is a traitor to my Daxi Liang, as long as he takes his head, it will be an immortal achievement!" ”
