Chapter 347: There is no sacredness in war

------------

Xiao Yu and his entourage stayed overnight and headed all the way to the sunset swamp.

At this time, in the vast Yunmeng grassland, a cavalry team wearing heavy armor appeared on the distant horizon.

In Yunmeng, it is rare to see this kind of heavy cavalry in heavy armor, but this time, it has appeared, if someone sees it, it will definitely feel very abrupt, but no one sees it at this time.

Because, in the sky, there are dozens of crows and elves riding horned eagle beasts listening to the news at any time.

This team is the thousand-heavy cavalry team led by Qin Che.

Ten days ago, Qin Che had already arrived at the Yunmeng Grassland, and he first asked a horned eagle beast knight to send a letter to Tuoba Hong, telling Tuoba Hong in the name of Xiao Yu that if he held on for a month, the siege would be solved.

Whether or not the rescue can be successful depends not only on Qin Che's raid ability, but also on whether Tuoba Hong himself can defend it.

If Tuoba Hong couldn't defend it, then Qin Che would have no way to help him defend the city. Now Tuoba Hong's situation is not very good, there are more and more enemies besieging him, and they are all very strong, and he also brings a lot of special troops, which makes Tuoba Hong miserable.

That's why he had to ask Xiao Yu for help.

However, what he was waiting for was not Xiao Yu and him continuing to defend the city together and reproducing the glory of the last city defense battle, but a message brought by Xiao Yu, telling him to hold on for a month.

This made Tuoba Hong frown for a while, and he could also guess that Xiao Yu must have gone to rescue him by sneaking up on the opponent's base and cutting off the opponent's food and grass.

However, can Xiao Yu really do it? Can you cut off the other party's supplies in such a timely manner?

Tuoba Hong is very anxious now, but in the end, he can only choose to stick to it. If there is no reinforcement from Xiao Yu, then he has no other reinforcements.

Although Tuoba Hong also entangled several tribes loyal to him, Tuoba Hong's strength still had an absolute advantage, so he was quickly suppressed again.

In addition, that mysterious force used a lot of dark magic to create many Nether warriors, which made Tuoba Hong's side suffer very heavy losses.

However, now with some of the mountain giants, wolf cavalry, orc infantry, horned eagle beast knights, plus some of the newly recruited soldiers left by Xiao Yu, they can still resist it for the time being.

It's just that he definitely can't resist for long.

He knows this, and so do his opponents.

Last time, Ba Tianming was humiliated by Xiao Yu so much, and then let him suffer such a big defeat, Tuoba Jue was annoyed and ashamed, dismissed Ba Tianming, and replaced him with another general named Zheqin.

This Zheqin is relatively stable, and there is no blind onslaught, but through the siege, it consumes Tuoba Hong's strength and slowly eats away.

If it continues to be encroached on like this, Tuoba Hong will definitely be caught sooner or later, and now, all the variables are on Xiao Yu's body.

However, what Tuoba Hong didn't know was that Xiao Yu didn't come to Yunmeng at all, but went to the Sunset Swamp, and it was Qin Che and a thousand heavy cavalry who came to Yunmeng.

"Is that the Zahada tribe ahead?" Qin Che asked a goblin next to him.

Before coming to Yunmeng, Qin Che also made a lot of efforts, and also conducted a thorough study of Yunmeng's climate, topography, geography, and people.

He knew that in order to win a battle in such a place, he had to know Yunmeng well, otherwise, he could lose his way and crush an army.

When the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, how many times were because those generals got lost, so they returned in vain.

If you don't know the other party at all, and you attack with the strength of your own army, then it will definitely be a failure.

Qin Che had never been to Yunmeng, and he was not familiar with Yunmeng, but he knew who was familiar with Yunmeng and knew that he should bring these people with him, and these people could give Qin Che good advice.

These people are the goblins that Xiao Yu brought back from Yunmeng.

These goblins lived in Yunmeng for a long time, and as slaves, they were often sold from place to place, often to many tribes.

They are all too familiar with everything about Yunmeng.

Even, some Yunmeng people are not as proficient as these goblins. Goblins are naturally capable of surviving and are good at traveling long distances.

In ancient times, goblin merchants, the most famous caravans on the continent, goblin merchants, reached every corner, even where demons were rampant, there were traces of goblin merchants.

Therefore, goblins have a strong experience in surveying the terrain, finding roads, finding water sources, and precautions for long-distance travel.

This time, Qin Che requisitioned many goblins who had traveled a lot in Yunmeng and were familiar with the various tribes of Yunmeng, and brought Yunmeng with them as his guides.

When Xiao Yu was fine, he once told Qin Che about the example of Huo Qubing running thousands of miles to fight, and the reason why Huo Qubing was able to win every time and find the lair of the constantly wandering Huns was because he had Huns in his team.

Huo Qubing asked the Huns, who were familiar with the Hun terrain, to be guides, so he never got lost.

Before setting off, Huo Quzhi also made all the preparations for the long trip, and brought all the necessary talents such as veterinarians who treated horses, craftsmen who could nail horseshoes, etc.

It is precisely because of these adequate preparations, sufficient understanding of the Xiongnu, and with decisive attacks and a keen sense of war, that we can find the best time for war and never lose.

The Huns naturally had many more soldiers than Huo Quai, but Huo Qubing could always put his troops in an advantageous position.

If the enemy is too strong, avoid it, and if the enemy is weak, immediately annihilate it, plunder supplies, feed the war with battle, and then continue to attack.

Now, Qin Che also agrees very much with Huo Quzhi's original tactics, this kind of guerrilla tactics is the most suitable in the Yunmeng grassland.

Coupled with the example of Rommel's lightning attack in the North African desert instilled by Xiao Yu to Qin Che, Qin Che has a stronger grasp of this tactic.

"Yes, General, I used to be a slave in the Zahada tribe, so I know very well that there are about 10,000 people there, but most of them are women and children, and many of the average adult will be conscripted into the army. Therefore, their real combat strength is only 3,000 people at most. ”

The goblin looked there, his eyes glinting with hatred.

Goblins are a race of wisdom and a race of extreme vengeance. In the past, they didn't have any chance to turn over, and when they were enslaved, they could only endure it, and some of them seemed to have become accustomed to slave life, and felt that the goblin clan should be slaves, so they were already a little numb.

However, after Xiao Yu's lion king had lived for such a long time, the servility of these goblins had long since disappeared. In the Lion King Territory, Xiao Yu strictly forbids anyone to treat the goblins with the attitude of slaves, and the goblins have the same equal status as anyone else in the Lion King Territory, they are also people, not cattle and horses, not animals.

For the first time in their lives, these goblins felt dignified.

It turns out that to be a human being is to be dignified. And for them goblins, the word dignity has been too long.

Now, back in Yunmeng again, there is a strong hatred in the hearts of the goblins. Flor specially sent some powerful goblins over this time, and brought fifty war puppets to increase Qin Che's firepower.

Anyway, there are space rings, and these war puppets are not very troublesome to bring up, but there is less space for food and other materials.

These war puppets, Flor specially used some special materials to transform, and increased the firepower to let Qin Che use them, so that he could give these Yunmeng people some color to see.

Let these Yunmeng people see what kind of race the goblin clan is.

Goblins are a great race, the most intelligent race in the world, capable of creating incredibly powerful machines.

For this reason, Flor squandered some of Xiao Yu's treasured treasured materials. However, as long as the Yunmeng people can be severely injured this time, even if they are scolded by Xiao Yu, it will be worth it.

"Raptor druid, go check on the situation inside and report it in time."

Qin Che did not attack rashly, but sent the raptor druid to transform into a storm crow to investigate first, and then organize an attack.

Xiao Yu once told Qin Che a word, a thousand times, not too much. Because if you don't care once, you can die without a place to be buried.

Soon after, the storm crow brought back the news that, as the goblin had said, there were not many adult men there, most of them women and children.

Qin Che nodded, rode a white heavenly horse specially given to him by Xiao Yu, pulled out the sword at his waist, looked ahead with resolute eyes, and said loudly: "We are warriors, so we have to fight, we are warriors, so we are fearless, we are knights, so we are invincible." Fight, charge, my knights, destroy all enemies, and stain our glory with their blood. Except for the women and children, all the others were killed, including the horses, not a single one was left, and all the grain and fodder, as long as they could not be taken away, were burned. ”

Kill......

With Qin Che's shout, all the thousand knights shouted loudly, neatly urging the war horses to kill the Yunmeng tribe.

The sound of the heavy cavalry galloping, like muffled thunder, coming from the sky, felt as if there were tens of thousands of light cavalry charging.

When those Yunmeng people saw the rolling cavalry, they were all stunned, where is this cavalry? How could there be heavy cavalry on the Yunmeng grassland, what are they doing here? Are they here to kill us?

Why?

Could it be Tuoba Hong's team? Because we took refuge in Tuoba?

But wasn't Tuoba Hong besieged? How can they still send men against us?

Before the men could fully think through their thoughts, the heavy hooves of the horses stepped on them and broke through their tents.

The giant sword, which weighed 100 catties, was immediately cut off by the sword, and the pillars of the tribe's tent were immediately broken, and those who resisted, along with their weapons and people, were split in half.

These people have no will to resist at all, and in the face of the heavy cavalry of the other party armed to the teeth, their weapons will not play any role at all.

Although there were many of them, they were attacked by a surprise attack, and it was a surprise attack by such a team, they had no ability to resist, and they could only be slaughtered.

Some smart people began to run away, but some strange big birds suddenly appeared in the sky, and on top of the big birds, there sat elves with pointed ears, and the archery skills of these elves made the Yunmeng people who thought they were unparalleled in archery feel inferior.

Every arrow can take away a life, and it can kill a Yunmeng person.

There is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, this is the true portrayal of these Yunmeng people, so these Yunmeng people can only choose to surrender.

However, the women and children who surrendered were not killed, but the adult men were slaughtered one by one, leaving no one behind.

Many years later, a large part of the reason why the Yunmeng people hated the Celestial Empire people so much was because the Celestial Empire people had slaughtered too many Yunmeng people in Yunmeng.

Qin Che didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, but he knew that killing some Yunmeng people now was paving the way for the safety of the Lion King Leader, and if he wanted to save Tuoba Hong, he had to empty all the tribes in the vicinity, so that Tuoba Jue could not recruit the army, so that he could not find supplies, only in this way could he really cut off the supply of Tuoba Jue's troops.

Otherwise, if these neutral civilian tribes were kept, then Tuoba Jue's army would still be able to scavenge for food and grass.

War is killing, don't think how sacred war is. Not a single war in this world is sacred, all are dirty.

In order to achieve victory, you must get used to killing, and you must not have the kindness of a woman, otherwise you will fail.

Although Qin Che is aged, he understands this very well.

This kind of killing can not only save Tuoba Hong, but also greatly weaken Yunmeng's strength, which is the most beneficial for the Lion King Leader.

A battle, without suspense, is all over in a matter of moments.

The flames rushed up, and a thousand heavy cavalry were gone, leaving behind a flood of fire, weeping women and children, and piles of corpses.
