Chapter Twenty-Six: The Battle of the Headless Flies
Cheng Lei sat on the deputy seat of the big tent of the leader of the Tieji tribe, and was discussing something with Dun Leha on the main seat, Chongshan and Tiemu below, as well as Shao Qian and Lei Yang, the leaders of the Night Lion Regiment and the War Eagle Regiment. They were discussing their opinions quite enthusiastically, when a dusty man broke in.
"Report to the Chief, the army of the Fiki tribe has begun to march in the direction of our tribe!" The man turned out to be a sentry agent, and I don't know how far he had to go back to reconnoitre, but the information he came back from was simply too important.
Chongshan hurriedly arranged for this sentry to go down to rest, and told him to remember to go to the tribe's miscellaneous meeting to receive the reward. This miscellaneous council is the place to deal with all the complicated affairs of the tribe, and it also holds the financial power of the tribe. Even the chief of Dun Leha wanted to take some money from the tribal treasury and spend it with the consent of the miscellaneous council.
The members of the Miscellaneous Committee are some of the older and older tribesmen who are particularly loyal to the tribe, and they have to be very prestigious. There are more than a dozen people in the miscellaneous committee, and the person in charge of the miscellaneous committee is now Tun Leha's cousin.
At this time, Tun Leha said: "Since they are ready to attack us, you can arrange the next step!" ”
Cheng Lei sat up straight and said solemnly: "Although the next war is nominally a war between two tribes, it is actually a joint resistance between the Tieji tribe and our Lion King Army to resist the invasion of the Fiki tribe army. From the perspective of righteousness, the Fiki tribe is called greedy and not enough to swallow elephants! Let's show them if we're so easy to mess with! ”
Chongshan nodded and said, "Yes, the tone of this Fiji tribe leader's son, who is also the deputy leader, is like our Tieji tribe can't run away in the palm of their hand, it's really a joke." It is simply wishful thinking that they want to annex the tribes that have survived in the Scorching Sun Federation for many generations! ”
Cheng Lei said again: "Since my father-in-law has appointed me as the commander of this war. Then you're welcome! Heavy mountain, Tiemu, each of you leads half of the cavalry in the tribe at any time. You can't let up on your shifts, so let's go now. ”
Chongshan and Tiemu took the order and went out, Cheng Lei thought for a while and then ordered: "Shao Qian and Lei Yang, you send your engineer platoon to tidy up the trenches and bunkers, machine guns and artillery bunkers that were dug before, and try to improve them if there are imperfections." Then the strength of a battalion of the Night Lion **** entered the trenches and prepared to resist the enemy's attack, and the others were in the tribe and did not move. ”
He also instructed the commanders of the two armored battalions: "You drive the chariots directly to the sides of the tribe and hide them, and wait for the order to charge at any time!" ”
"The artillery battalion marked all the large-caliber howitzers with the coordinates and opened fire as soon as the enemy entered the firing range!" In the battle with the Serenfu Corps, Li Changcheng captured more than 20 large-caliber howitzers, and Cheng Lei had already asked someone to buy many shells back. With plenty of shells, they're ready to exert their sheer power!
In the army of the Fiki tribe, which was marching rapidly, Meppen was riding side by side with the Flying Eagle. Feiying has a flue-cured cigarette in his mouth, looking very comfortable, and sure enough, the treatment of being a tribal soldier is different, others don't have to smoke, and he must have a cigarette to smoke.
Flying Eagle smoked a cigarette and said to Mei Peng, "Lord Chief, didn't I say it a long time ago? Our tribe has sufficient troops, and it is not easy to beat them against a small iron-based tribe. Where is the need for you to fight in person, doesn't this mean that I, the Great Soldier, are simply too incompetent? ”
Mei Peng thought to herself, if you really have the ability, I still need to be so worried? But he said: "Feiying, don't get me wrong, I'm not worried about you." Rather, I want to see how capable this iron-based tribe is that it dares to resist our annexation! ”
Flying Eagle nodded: "Well, this one should indeed be taken a look at." When the time comes, our army will attack it. Look at the one called Chongshan who still has a hard mouth and is not hard-mouthed! ”
Mei Peng said with some concern: "The tribe's three thousand troops have been brought out by us, and now there are less than a thousand old and weak soldiers left in the tribe. We must win. There must be no mistakes, or the two of us will become eternal sinners of the Fiki tribe! ”
"Don't worry, Chief. I will take the warriors of our Fiki tribe all the way to the tent of the leader of the Tieji tribe, and cut off the head of their leader to serve you with wine! Flying Eagle said proudly.
This flying eagle is becoming more and more proud, and more and more unreliable. Maepen said so in her heart. With the mentality of the Flying Eagle, I am afraid that the battle that could have been won will also be messed up by him, and Mei Peng is determined to watch the Flying Eagle not let him mess around, and everything must be done according to Mei Peng's orders.
After walking for a little in the middle of the night, Mei Peng and the others had arrived at the place where the flying eagle and Chongshan had talked. It's already very close to the Tieji tribe, only about three or four kilometers away. However, the Tieji tribe did not see any movement, and in the lookout box, Mei Peng only saw a deserted scene of the Tieji tribe, and occasionally saw a little light, but it was soon gone.
Could it be that the people of the Tieji tribe knew that the Fiki army was coming, and they fled? If that were the case, they would have taken this territory without bloodshed, and they could have such a large pasture without a single soldier, and the people of the tribe would have cheered and celebrated if they knew about it. By that time, Meppen had firmly established himself as the leader in the hearts of all the tribesmen, and had absolute authority and status.
Maempen was still in his imagination, when suddenly a loud noise shattered his imagination. I saw that some cavalry not far behind him and the flying eagle were blown up, and even those war horses were not spared. Then there was the "whoosh" sound, which was the sound of the ballistic trajectory of the cannonball piercing the air, followed by the explosion of the cannonball in the cavalry thicket, exploding, and then the corpses.
The vast majority of the soldiers of the nomadic tribal armies were cavalry, and the Fiki tribe was certainly no exception. With the exception of some soldiers who were responsible for feeding the horses and carrying heavy loads, the combat soldiers were cavalry. These cavalry had a great advantage against the infantry, but they were more dead than the infantry when they encountered shells.
Because the infantry could find a place to hide from the shells, the cavalry had to flee in all directions on horseback. In the dictionary of cavalry, there is no concept of abandoning a horse and running away. They value horses more than their own lives. And because of this, under the heavy bombardment of shells. There are also a lot of people who die.
Maepen didn't expect a small iron-based tribe to have a cannon, and it was a large-caliber howitzer. But there are many things that I didn't expect. He didn't expect a group of iron devils to rush out from the opposite side! After the artillery fire stopped, more than thirty armored tanks rampaged towards the embarrassed Fiki cavalry.
As they advanced, the armored tanks were still firing and reaping the lives of the Fiki cavalry with heavy machine guns. Mei Peng's heart was about to crack, what was the situation of this iron-based tribe, and what was the situation of the sudden appearance of such a big steel guy who could move?
Maepen also sent someone to try, and these big guys didn't move at all with guns and knives. Oh my God, is this the god of the steppe who has come down to punish me? Maepen cried out in his heart, knowing that there was no chance of victory in this war, because he had seen behind the big steel guys. Countless cavalry and infantry came in a row......
At this time, the eagle came to Mei Peng's side: "Leader, come with me!" ”
Mei Peng said listlessly: "It's useless, it's already defeated, let me die here!" I'm sorry for my father and the Witch State Soldiers, if I could have listened to them, where would I have gotten to where I am now! Well? By the way, Wu Bang, we still have Wu Bang, we will not be defeated. Hurry back to the tribe! ”
The Eagle returned to the Fiki tribe with Maepen and some of the remnants of the army, as well as the routs collected along the way. They had 3,000 men when they left, and when they returned, they had only about 1,000 men, and they had lost nearly two-thirds of their army.
After returning to the leader's cart, Meppen knelt in front of Messi's couch: "Father, I'm sorry for you. I shouldn't have forced my troops out without listening to you. Now it's a defeat...... And you are so angry, father, you want to bless me, I don't want to be a sinner of the Fiki tribe......"
The Eagle stood behind Meppen and comforted, "Your Excellency, Chief. Don't beat yourself up. If you want to punish me, punish me, because I didn't find out the truth of the enemy and rashly asked for troops. Although he rescued the leader in the end, he was not worth it. It's all my fault! ”
The Flying Eagle originally wanted to remind Maepen not to forget that he saved Maepeng's life, and wanted Maepen to remember his great kindness forever. As if awakened by the words of the flying eagle, Mei Peng said, "You are right! We can't know what we're wrong and we can't sit idly by! Flying Eagle, you go and release Wu Bang immediately, bring him here, I want to see him!" ”
Didn't Maepen already kill Wu Bang? In fact, he really wanted to do it at the time, but at the same time, Mei Peng remembered that he had beaten his father, and his father was angry because of him, so he became that immortal. Facing his father's old friend and old comrade-in-arms Wu Bang, Mei Peng said that he couldn't do anything, so he had to give up.
Unexpectedly, the soft-heartedness at that time actually became a lifesaver now, if Wu Bang was killed at that time, now Mei Peng can't find someone who can rely on and make decisions.
Wu Bang was taken by the Eagle to the chief's cart, and although he was released, his hands were still tied with ropes. Mei Peng glanced at Feiying reproachfully, and then personally untied the rope in Wu Bang's hand: "Wu Bang Soldier, I was wrong in the past, and I hope you can forgive me for my mistakes, for the future of the Fiki tribe, you must help me defeat the Tieji tribe!" ”
At this time, the flying eagle shouted: "Lord Chief, I am the acting Great Soldier, he is no longer the Great Soldier!" ”
Mei Peng glanced at Feiying and said, "The leader ordered, Wu Bang will resume his position as the chief soldier, and Feiying will be the deputy soldier!" ”
The Flying Eagle was about to say something, but he was made a face by Meppen, and then he didn't dare to speak. At this time, Wu Bang said coldly: "Deputy Chief, what if I don't want to be this Great Soldier Division again? ”
"How many times have I told you, there is no deputy leader now, Lord Maepen is the leader of our Fiki tribe!" ”
Wu Bang shook his head, pointed to Messi who was lying on the couch and said: "He is the leader of our Fiki tribe, and you ......" He pointed to Maepen and said: "You are a traitor to our Fiki tribe!" How dare you betray your lordship? ”
Mei Peng's face changed a few times, and he said with a smile: "Wu Bang, I value your personality and your ability, so I didn't kill you and let you continue to serve as the Great Soldier." Do you think I dare not kill you? Then he changed his words: "We are all children of the Fiki tribe, and our family and soul are forever bound to the Fiki tribe. Wu Bang, can you bear to watch the Fiki tribe be wiped out by the Tieji tribe, and all the herdsmen of Fiki become their slaves? ”
Wu Bang didn't expect Mei Peng to say such a thing, he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you. But after the Fiki tribe gets through this difficulty, you have to allow me to leave the tribe, I don't want to stay in this place ruled by the rebels! ”
Wu Bang clearly scolded Mei Peng and Feiying, and anger rose in the hearts of both of them. But Wu Bang is still very useful, and they have nothing to do with him now. Mei Peng's heart is now more murderous, and when Wu Bang is useless, Mei Peng will definitely be the first to cut him!
But now there was still a smile on Mei Peng's face: "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, of course I support the idea of the Wubang Great Soldier." But the most important thing we face now is how to fight against the Tieji tribe, the Wubang Soldiers, what do you think? ”
Wu Bang then said: "Okay, you can tell me in detail about the attacks you have suffered and the deployment of their forces and firepower!" ”
Maepen and Eagle began to describe to Wu Bang all the attacks they had suffered, and Wu Bang's brow tightened. Seeing it in his eyes, Mei Peng's heart couldn't help but lock, and at the end of the conversation, Mei Peng asked, "Great Soldier, have you heard any clues?" Those cannons and stuff are so powerful that we can't resist ......"
Wu Bang shook his head and said, "Those cannons are nothing, when I was studying military affairs in the Western Empire, I used to participate in mercenary battles there. Their artillery at that time was not as powerful as you say, but it was about the same, how did we do it? Set up shell bunkers and wait for the shells to finish before attacking. ”
"If there is no infantry, we can change the cavalry to infantry, but it's just ......," Wu Bang paused a little after saying this.
"Just what?" Maepen and Flying Eagle asked in unison.
"It's just ......," Wu Bang continued, "if they really have the kind of steel monster you are talking about, we should not fight, we can't fight at all!" ”
Maepen said strangely, "Why? ”
Wu Bang sighed and said, "At the beginning, the leader advised you not to act rashly, because I was afraid that the Lion King Army would help the Tieji tribe. Now it seems that it is right, the relationship between the Lion King Army and the Tieji tribe is indeed very close! Do you know? Just before we came to the territory of the Scorching Sun Federation, there was a war in the vicinity, a war between the Serenfu Legion, a third-level corps of Baron'ou, and the Tieji tribe. ”
"With more than 4,000 cavalry, infantry and artillery, the Serenf Corps was an elite unit on the southern battlefield. With the help of the Lion King's army, the Tieji tribe defeated the Serenfu legion, and they were only a few hundred men left! (To be continued.) )
