Chapter 140: The Rogue Has Arrived
"Okay, don't worry too much, second, we have six hundred cavalry, in an open area like the northwest, just our six hundred cavalry with a hundred battles is enough to deal with this broken army of five thousand people, not to mention that we still have more than two thousand elite infantry." The leader of the Liukou, the one-eyed dragon Zhao Meng, said confidently.
This kind of rogue gang led by the one-eyed dragon Zhao Meng can be said to belong to a large rogue gang in the entire northwest region, its number is more than three thousand, where is its lair, no one knows, often attacks the passing caravans, it is very notorious in the entire northwest, this time I also saw that there were many women in Qin Dui's army, so he started to attack Qin Dui's army of 5,000 people, you must know that under normal circumstances, Liukou is unwilling to attack the number of officers and soldiers above themselves.
After all, such a result is likely to hurt 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted losses, which is very uneconomical for such a large-scale gangster.
This one-eyed dragon Zhao Meng, formerly known as Zhao Dagou, was born in Maoshan County in the northwest, and his father was also the leader of this tribe, and the one-eyed dragon Zhao Mengzi inherited his father's business and became the leader of this tribe of Liukou.
Originally, Zhao Meng was not a one-eyed dragon, and when he started his career at the age of 12, he was beaten in one eye. When he was 16 years old, his uncle Zhao Ming denounced his father Zhao Long, and was beheaded by the government soon after. After his father's death, Zhao Ming began to fight his mother's idea again, preparing to sell the widow.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Meng's mother was hurt and burst into tears, and Zhao Meng repeatedly asked for details. On the thirteenth day of the first month, the young Zhao Meng led his accomplices. Capture Zhao Ming and his son to Huangshatuo Town and kill them.
After avenging the murder of his father, the young Zhao Meng became famous in the green forests of the northwest. Zhao Meng is better known for his approach when he received his accomplices. Anyone who wants to join the gang must go through Zhao Meng's archery test. The participant had an egg on his head. Zhao Meng stood dozens of meters away, shot eggs with a bow, stood firmly, was not timid, and was not afraid of the dead. Nine times out of ten eggs are shot, but there are a few unlucky eggs who have been tricked by fate. However, such archery methods are already rare in the green forests of the northwest.
After breaking through to the name, Zhao Meng's team slowly grew larger and began to collect money from the people nearby. After all, Zhao Meng started by robbing his family. The greedy nature is difficult to change, and 10 acres of land need to be paid two taels of silver every year, which is heavier than the national tax of the Great Qin Empire.
It is also common for caravans to pass ahead to charge transit fees. When encountering a caravan full of oil and water, Zhao Meng directly occupied it all, and if there was resistance, it would be all men who would kill it. Women plundered over.
"Zhao Meng, this person. It's just inhumane", this is the judgment of the people of Northwest China.
This evaluation is mainly due to Zhao Meng's robbing of people's daughters to the point of almost madness. He exercised the "right of the first night" in the area where he operated (the bride had to spend the night with him before they could get married), and his nine wives and concubines were taken captively.
Zhao Meng once went to Huangshatuo Town to collect land donations, and the errand boy found that the local Sun family had a woman as beautiful as a flower, and immediately offered it.
Every now and then, Zhao Meng will personally go out, although this woman has already promised to marry others, but she is still carried into Zhao Meng's cottage. Become his concubine.
Once again, Zhao Meng led dozens of horsemen to pass through Kaihe Town, Maoshan County. Hearing that there was a caravan of panicked, the people scattered and fled. A daughter of the Wang family had just returned from a visit to a neighboring village, and when she heard the news, she fled to her house, and inadvertently looked back, but was glanced at by Zhao Meng, and as a result, the daughter of the Wang family was immediately robbed and became a concubine.
Zhao Meng's original wife was killed by him, the reason is unknown, all lustful people, many people have a habit of liking the new and hating the old.
"Big brother, I'm just a little worried."
The second boss immediately saw that the boss had spoken, and said helplessly, this immediately Feng was born timid, and he didn't know how he could become the second leader of this gang.
"Okay, it's decided, order the troops to speed up, and don't let this group of officers and soldiers have too much preparation, otherwise it will be bad for us." The one-eyed dragon Zhao Meng said.
……
"Boom~~"
"Boom~~"
In the distance, the sand in the sky to the north danced wildly, and several wolf smoke rose into the sky. Countless small black dots are galloping, like endless locusts, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky. The earthquake trembled, rumbling like thunderbolts, and even the silent camp trembled.
"The rogue is here!"
Qin Du watched the shadows faintly visible in the distance approaching rapidly, the distant sky rolled up the wild sand, and countless wandering horses were like galloping arrows, shuttling through the desert like meteors, the horses' hooves kicking the earth, and the earth shook the mountains.
The horsemen on horseback were dressed in sheepskin robes and woolen felt hats, their deep-set eyes were wild blue, and their pointed noses were as unruly as the surnames of the nomads of the northwest.
The faces of the cavalrymen were filled with excitement and greed, and countless snow-bright scimitars were raised in their thick arms, glittering with a faint cold light in the light of the day.
The cavalry of the rogues is coming! The dust and sand in the sky seemed to be dark clouds falling from the sky, and their speed was several times faster than expected! The spectacle of five or six hundred horses neighing and galloping on the open meadow made people tremble.
The earth-shattering sound seemed to shake Qin Dui's heart out, looking at the dark clouds, sand, war horses and people in the distance mixed into the same color of heaven and earth, with an incomparable shock in the desolation, no matter how great a person you are, in front of this unparalleled momentum, you will become incomparably small.
Qin Duan's eyes widened, his face flushed, and the bubbling blood and qi flowed in the veins of his body, gradually heating up.
"Archer, get ready~~"
Li Daring, long knife skirts, sakura words, hiccup, to 18
The tactics of the archers of the armies of this world are basically like this, that is, the defense of the city, and the archers also fight in this way.
"The 1st Infantry Wing, the 2nd Wing, the 3rd Wing, Prepare ~~"
Immediately the infantry of the three wings stood behind the archers, and once the cavalry rushed through the nearest attack range of the archers, the infantry immediately stepped forward to fight with the opposing cavalry to ensure the safety of the archers, knowing that once the cavalry was close to the archers, the archers had no room for backhand, only the fate of being slaughtered.
This is the battlefield, the archer is a class of troops that restrain cavalry and infantry, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, distance, once it is approached by cavalry or infantry, the archer does not have any counterattack power, hand-to-hand combat, in the army, the weakest is the archer.
Qin Dui, who was at the forefront, couldn't think of anything at this time, only the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was heard in his ears, and all that flashed in front of his eyes was the bright sword of Liukou. At this moment of life and death, even the most timid cowards have an urge to burn their blood.
Battlefield that can turn cowards into heroes!
Thirty miles, twenty miles, ten miles ......, more than 500 iron horsemen, at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, quickly forward, gradually, the sound became louder and louder, the dust and sand in front of the ten miles into an impenetrable fog, faint, the mane of the war horse, the felt hat on the head of the Liukou, are clearly visible.
"Liukou is ten miles away from me~~"
The shout of the scout in front of him tightened everyone's hearts in an instant, and countless warriors stared into the distance, and the handle of the knife in their hands was about to be crushed.
"Wuli~~" Qin Duan held his breath, the heavens and the earth seemed to be frozen at this moment, he couldn't hear any sound anymore, and what he saw was the fangs of the rogue who was close at hand.
The dust swept across the face, and the sand poured into the corners of the mouth, the bitter taste. Qin Duan spat on his saliva, but was surprised to find that the cavalry in the distance seemed to be gradually slowing down, and the sound of hooves became sparse.
After a while, the endless flying dark clouds seemed to suddenly stop, and the neighing of the horses could not be heard, and a few sparse hooves of the horses came into the ears, and the rogue cavalry actually slowly stopped the pace of running, only the continuous sneezing of the war horses, composed of the sound of thunder, into the eardrums of the soldiers.
More than 500 cavalry, just go, stop when you say, even the war horse is just right, clean and neat, neat, and uniform, just five or six miles away from the camp of the Qin Dusk army, the rogue cavalry is really strong and terrifying.
Qin Dui's heart sank, and he had a clearer understanding of the combat power of these rogues.
"Why did the rogue stop suddenly?" Li Daring stood beside him, frowned and asked, "Could it be that they found something abnormal?" ”
"This is impossible, the scouts of the rogues have no ability to get close to our side at all, and they have been solved by the scouts of the various teams sent out, and it is impossible to find anything strange here." Liu Wu said.
"But why did these cavalry stop suddenly?"
Li Daring asked suspiciously, if these cavalry did not rush over quickly, the traps he dug on his side would be useless.
"Your Excellency, look?"
Liang Qiming asked, the cavalry of the Liukou suddenly stopped, this is a bit troublesome, and those preparations on his side are useless.
Qin Duan's face sank like water, and he shook his head slightly, letting the wind and sand blow on his cheeks. The sound of hooves shook the earth, but it seemed to be suddenly quiet, and the neighing of horses and the sound of hunting wind fluttering in flags seemed so insignificant to the ears of all soldiers. The deathly silence of the battlefield, and the sound of a steel needle falling to the ground can arouse the vigilance of both sides.
Qin Du jumped up to the highest mound, took a long shouting microphone made of empty bamboo, and shouted loudly into the distance: "Liukou juniors, listen up, I am the county guard of Tokugawa County of the Great Qin Empire, if you and other juniors quickly dismount and surrender, I will not let my army destroy you in an instant." ”
Qin Dui's voice was gathered with all the strength of his body, and his voice came out along the microphone, and in the wind and sand, there was an irrepressible heroic spirit.
The rogue on the other side were all silent, no one responded to his shout, and the fierce light flashed in their eyes, staring at Qin Dui's side fiercely. (To be continued......)
