【Chapter 363】The Secret of the Megumi Society!
"Huh!"
"Smack!"
Sobud cut another pile of weeds. [Full text reading]
He didn't know how many weeds he had cut with the scimitar in his hand.
Wherever he passed, all the weeds could suffer. Due to the indiscriminate wielding of his waist knife, this blade, which was originally of good quality, has collapsed several times, and it is miserable. However, Sobud didn't care. Because, he subconsciously felt that even if this knife was well preserved, it was estimated that he would not have a chance to use it. His life is estimated to be almost at the end of his life.
All the way from Wuliang Suhai, his mood became more and more impatient and helpless. When he set out from the Kellergin tribe, Sobud's heart was still full of expectations, and he felt that he still had seven points of certainty that he could reverse the fate of the Kyllegin tribe. But now, more than a month later, Sobud is in utter despair. Because, it is impossible for the horse he escorted to reach the capital, and it is impossible for it to play a role. Moreover, even he himself is very likely to die in this vast prairie.
If Xu Xingxia saw Sobud at this time, he would probably be taken aback by his appearance. Because, the Sobud he met before was all energetic and high-spirited. Even if he suffered defeat, he was a relatively energetic young man. He's not even thirty years old after all! However, now Sobud is actually old, with gray hair, and feels as if he is at least sixty years old. Poor people, they are also princes of the Hellerkin tribe! It's so embarrassing to fall to such a point!
"Die, die, all die......" Sobud turned his hatred into the most vicious curse, cursing the eagle cavalry stragglers who attacked him, one by one, to be sent to hell to suffer the most terrible and vicious ordeals. It is better that they will be suppressed forever under the eighteenth layer of hell and will never be able to turn over. It would be better if Xu Xingxia could also be suppressed. This guy should even be sent to the nineteenth layer of hell!
Every time he thought of Xu Xingxia's name, Sobud felt like he couldn't breathe, as if his whole body was spasming, and his mind was also blank. There is no way, all of this now is caused by this person named Xu Xingxia. He is the nightmare of the Helkin tribe, he is the executioner who slaughtered the Helkin tribe, and the Hellerkin tribe is the destruction of his hands. No matter what kind of vicious words are used to describe Xu Xingxia, it is not an exaggeration. A nickname like Xu Lao Mo is simply too benevolent.
It's a pity that his curse has no strength. Xu Xingxia, who was far away in Ningxia Town, naturally didn't feel it at all, even the Eagle Cavalry stragglers around Sobud couldn't sense it at all. On the contrary, it may be to confirm whether Sobud is still alive, every day in the middle of the night, especially in the second half of the night, the Eagle Cavalry stragglers will come to attack regularly. If the Tatars want to sleep and rest, they absolutely can't. Even drinking saliva is dangerous.
Ever since they met Sobud, the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry, like ghosts, have followed them and have not left for a moment. They did everything they could to harass Sobud and his men. They did everything they could to eliminate Sobud and his men. Assault, assassination, seduction, ambush, poisoning, mines, traps...... Methods like these have been used to perfection by the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry.
Encountering this terrible group of Eagle Cavalry stragglers was definitely Sobud's nightmare. Along the way, Sobud has been tortured by the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry. At first, he was a little angry, a little impulsive, trying to launch a counterattack. But now, he was no longer angry, not impulsive, and didn't want to fight back. Because, he already knows very well that no matter what he does, the final result will be in vain. A pack of rabbits under siege by a pack of wild wolves, no matter what measures are taken, it is impossible to avoid the fate of extinction.
Not only was he tortured to death, but his subordinates were also tortured to death by the carve cavalry stragglers. Some people even have a nervous breakdown, as if they are crazy. They don't have time to rest, they don't have time to eat, they don't even have time to drink water. At the most embarrassing times, they could only drink horse urine to quench their thirst. Because, all the springs around may have been poisoned by the Eagle Cavalry stragglers. They would rather drink horse urine than be poisoned alive.
There is still a long way to go from here to Datong Mansion! According to the normal speed of travel, it will also take at least half a month. And under the interference of the Eagle Cavalry stragglers, it may not be possible to reach it for half a year. No one knows if they will be able to make it through the last stretch of the road. The surviving Tatars were in fact largely desperate. For them, living for a while is a moment, and if they are killed, it will be considered a hundred.
Now Sobud, it's really too late to regret it. He knew that he should have taken the route of Guihua City and asked Lin Dan Khan for help. There is Lin Dan Khan's iron lance cavalry escort, and the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry Army, who dare not be so arrogant in anything. Anyway, in the vicinity of Naturalization City, Lin Dan Khan is also a veritable boss, isn't he? However, it is also risky to do so. Faced with goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, could Lin Dan Khan not be moved? Basically, it's impossible. If you can't get it right, these goods will finally go into Lin Dan Khan's pocket.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet. In any case, he had to do his best to deliver this batch of goods to Datong Mansion. This is the only way to save the Kellergin tribe. Sobud's only fantasy now is that the farther away from Ningxia Town, the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry may suddenly withdraw one day. As soon as these terrible ghosts are gone, his nightmares will also be gone, and spring will come for the Hellerkin tribe.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, another dull gunshot rang out.
The gunfire shattered all of Sobud's illusions. He hurriedly jumped off his horse, and with his agile movements skillfully hid under the horse's belly, staring warily around. Along the way, he had to repeat these movements dozens of times a day, and each movement had already become extremely proficient, and even practiced into a standard movement. Even if you fall asleep, you can do it reflexively.
Of course, if you find it troublesome and don't want to repeat it, it doesn't matter, you can just continue to sit on horseback and swagger around you. Every time the Eagle Cavalry stragglers attacked, there were actually only a few people, and after the battle, they immediately retreated, and absolutely did not entangle with the Tatars. However, if you think that you are safe after the gunshots have been fired, you must be very wrong. Often a sudden projectile will smash you to pieces. Perhaps, before you could react, you were killed.
In fact, it's definitely not a joke. The Tatar archers who were troublesome had all been killed. In the past, there were indeed a few Tatar warriors who were not afraid of death, and immediately after the shots were fired, they rushed to the place where the Eagle Cavalry stragglers had fired, trying to kill the enemy. As a result, the buried Eagle Cavalry stragglers suddenly opened fire and killed them all. There was such a lesson, and every time they were attacked, the Tatars no longer dared to mess around. The rest, all of them are well-behaved and dare not be presumptuous.
When Sobud set out, he brought more than 500 Tartar cavalry archers, which was the last elite army of the entire Kellergin tribe. As a result, more than a month has passed, and now, there are less than three hundred. The other more than 200 people were beaten piecemeal by the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry Army. Their bodies were scattered in all corners of the prairie and were not buried at all. Perhaps, now, they have all been devoured by the infested wolves.
On average, three shots fired by the Eagle Cavalry stragglers, and one Tatar was killed. If the Tatars were not afraid of death and went up to look for the carvin stragglers, the number of casualties would have been even greater. The well-behaved Tatars resolutely refused to show their faces. After the gunshot, there was no movement for a long time. The frightened Tatars dared to slowly poke their heads out and quietly look around. It wasn't until they were convinced that the Eagle Cavalry stragglers had left that they dared to return to their horses, carefully searching the surrounding grasslands step by step.
Finally, Sobud received news that another Tatar sentry had been killed. This Tatar sentinel was also sad, because the war horse wanted to drink water, so he went a little farther. Apparently, he had forgotten the basic principle that wherever there was a water source, there could be skirmishers lurking in the Eagle Cavalry. As a result, after I went, I didn't come back. Mini shot him in the back, straight into his body, killing him instantly.
Speaking of which, the Tatar Sentinels are definitely one of the troops with the highest casualty rate. No way, who told them to walk on the outermost part of the line and reconnoiter the movements of the Eagle Cavalry stragglers? The stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry, who will they deal with if they do not deal with them? In the past, the Tatar sentry was one of the most competitive troops, and it was definitely beneficial to rush to the front. As long as you find something good, you can take it for yourself. But now, no one wants to act as a sentry anymore. Because, this word, basically has the same meaning as death.
"Again......
Sobud stroked his head and lamented helplessly.
His hair was all gray, and he couldn't find any solution to the problem.
The only thing that can be done is to wait. Waiting for the day when a sudden Mini bullet hit his body, ending his life and ending his suffering.
…… Compared with Sobud's lament, Feng Qingwu is unusually active. He felt more and more that the final victory was getting closer and closer to him. Since accepting the task, he has calmly implemented Xu Xingxia's procrastination trick and dragged Sobud into the trap step by step. Whenever he looked at the cloth bag under the horse's neck, he knew that there were not many people around Sobud. As soon as reinforcements arrive, he will be able to do a big job.
Like most military households, Feng Qingwu is illiterate and does not know how to count. How to calculate the number of enemy casualties, and how many remain? Feng Qingwu adopted the oldest method. He put sections of straw stalks in his pocket, and put a total of five hundred, representing the five hundred Tatar cavalry of Sobud. For every Tartar cavalry killed, he took one. Slowly, he found that the number of grass stalks in the sheepskin pocket was less than half.
This means that the final time to attack has finally arrived. The Tatar cavalry, with only more than 200 men, would definitely not be able to stop the attack of the carving cavalry stragglers and reinforcements. The remaining Tatar stragglers were actually very exhausted and had little combat effectiveness. If you don't eat well, you can't sleep well, and you live in fear every day, what combat power can you have? If it weren't for the fact that the number of Eagle Cavalry stragglers around Feng Qingwu was too small, Feng Qingwu couldn't help it and led the Eagle Cavalry stragglers to attack alone.
"Feng Qingwu, my Wang Xia is here!"
On this day, the long-awaited reinforcements finally arrived.
According to Xu Xingxia's order, Wang Xia took an elite squadron of the Eagle Cavalry Army to quietly set off from Zhenyuan Pass, running wildly for seven days and seven nights along the way, and finally arrived at Feng Qingwu's side. The purpose of their arrival, of course, was to stew Sobud. These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Xu Xingxia is quite worried!
After a brief discussion, the two decided to launch a frontal attack on Sobud. The Eagle Cavalry brought by Wang Xia had about 300 musketeers, and the Eagle Cavalry gathered by Feng Qingwu had about 100 musketeers, adding up to about 400 people. In terms of the number of soldiers, the white-clothed army did not have a great advantage. However, with the powerful power of the Moon Gun, ultra-long range, and frontal attack, there is at least seventy percent certainty.
"Let's do it!" Feng Qingwu couldn't wait to say.
When everything was ready, the two of them took their respective troops and launched a strong attack.
The Tatars' greatest trouble was that they had to cover their carriages. Because the wagons were loaded with their wealth. The goal of the White Army is also these wealth. As for the Tartar cavalry, you can ignore it. As long as you grab the wealth on the carriage, you can complete the task perfectly.
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire rang out across the field.
Grains of Minnie flew out with a whistling voice, bringing the greeting of death.
The Tartar cavalry, who were within range, fell to the ground one after another. Caught off guard, twenty or thirty people were killed in an instant, and the scene was chaotic. Fortunately, their reaction was also very fast, and they all rolled off the horse's back one by one skillfully, hiding under the horse's belly, and resisted stubbornly. They even all gathered around the carriage.
In the face of the enemy's strong attack, the Tatar cavalry did not hesitate to adopt the strategy of dismounting to meet the battle. This is a tactic they subconsciously adopt when they encounter danger. As soon as the enemy comes within range of their bows and arrows, they will be met with a strong counterattack. However, the muskets of the white army are too powerful, and such a tactic is basically suicide. In front of Yue Yue, the Tatar bows and arrows had no possibility of shooting at all.
Wang Xia and the others adopted the most stupid but most effective method, which was to shoot and sweep all the way, no matter whether it was a person or a war horse that stood in front of them, they all killed them. The warriors of the dragoons, lined up in horizontal formations, took turns firing volleys. Each salvo brings a large rain of blood, screams, or hisses. In the face of the fierce musket volley, all obstacles were in vain.
The stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry adopted the method of sporadic attacks, specifically shooting the hidden Tatar cavalry from different angles. At the muzzle of their guns, the Tatar cavalry, who tried to lurk and release cold arrows, fell. The stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry Army have been entangled with the Tatar cavalry for more than a month, how can they not be clear about their surnames? Want to hide? Dream on! It's serious to get out early and send you to death!
After more than a dozen rounds of shooting, all the Tatar horses had fallen. The Tatars, without cover, were slaughtered in the face of the musket volleys of the dragoons. After a volley of shots, they screamed and fell to the ground. Some Tatars tried to launch a suicidal charge, but as a result, they were beaten like a sieve and bled profusely. After more than a dozen rounds of firing rounds, the last remaining Tatars were less than fifty people.
However, Wang Xia and the others have no plans to stop. They wanted only the goods of the Tartars, but not the captives of the Tartars. It is impossible to carry prisoners on such a long-distance journey. Then another volley of guns passed, and all the remaining Tatars were killed. Only Sobud himself hid behind the carriage and narrowly escaped with a surname.
The reason why Sobud was able to survive was definitely not because the Eagle Cavalry or the Eagle Cavalry were soft, but because his luck was too good. It is estimated that his previous luck was too bad, so God made up for him at this time. His men were all killed, but he himself was not injured at all, not even bloody.
However, in the face of the cavalry of the white-clothed army, Sobud had no way to resist. The only end of rebellion is death. He couldn't be clearer about that. He had no choice but to raise the white flag and ask for surrender. He hid under the carriage and said loudly outside: "Don't kill me, I want to see Xu Xingxia!" ”
In his hasty shouting, the soldiers of the white-clothed army had already surrounded the carriage. Dozens of bayonets worked together to get Sobud out from under the carriage. Fortunately, his cry still worked, and after he was tied up, he was sent to Wang Xia and Feng Qingwu. Sobud shouted unheeded: "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! ”
Wang Xia responded coldly: "Give us a reason not to kill you!" ”
Sobud exclaimed, "I know the secrets of the Seeken Society! Your boss will be interested! Really, I promise, he will be interested! This is the biggest secret of Ningxia Town! Very few people know about it! ”
