Chapter 376: The Death of the Jade Pagoda Stone
It's a pity that his 'war horse' is actually a civilian ordinary horse temporarily requisitioned from several Bayi's families, and it seems that his physique and speed are on par with the war horse, but his ability to accept the rider's instructions and the tacit understanding between the rider and the rider are too far from the real war horse. Seeing the new white and dazzling thick wooden spikes in the sunlight, the horse's speed still decreased uncontrollably rapidly.
Nurlan's tactic was to abandon the horse and use the horse's impact to knock away the rejecting horse, but seeing the horse's speed dropping, he knew that he couldn't do anything, and he didn't want to lose a mount in vain, so he pulled the reins at the moment. The mount neighed before the horse was rejected, and the man stood up, and finally succeeded in 'braking'.
But a long arrow struck the horse in the belly, causing the horse to fall to the ground and crushing one of Nurlan's legs underneath.
The rejection of the horse did not seriously injure the red horse, but the defenders standing on the mound were unwilling to give this man a chance to flee back. More than 20 bows and arrows were set on fire at the same time, and Nurlan's mount was immediately shot into a hedgehog, and Nurlan himself was not lightly injured. The cavalry behind him had also reined in his mount and wanted to turn back, but when he saw that the captain was held down by a dead horse and could not get out, he shouted to save the captain quickly, turned over the saddle and fell off the horse, and took out his shield to protect his leader, but he heard a huge chord sound of 'boom', and a tailless crossbow bolt thicker than his thumb nailed the captain to the ground! Several people knew that this crossbow would not kill the captain, so they dragged Nurlan and ran back.
Running back to the main formation, he put down the captain and was about to pour some wound medicine on him, but he saw that green damage as high as a dozen points kept coming out of Nurlan's head.
"Lao Tzu is poisoned!" Nurlan cursed: "Don't drag Lao Tzu back, just pour medicine on Lao Tzu, maybe ......" There is nothing to say, before he finished a sentence, this ten-person elder will return to immortality.
Salma stared at Nurlan with round eyes, and angrily stepped forward to give a big mouth to a few soldiers who dragged back Nurlan: "This is your reward!" "He has a very good relationship with Nurlan, and when he is in battle, it is often Nurlan who makes the idea, and he sacrifices his life to charge - one is wise and one is brave, and it can be said that he is the best partner among the ten commanders under Kunur Khan, and now one is dead, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined. Stretched out his hand and pointed to the two dirt bags opposite: "Go and rush for Lao Tzu!" You will die on dirt bags! β
The soldier didn't expect to snatch back a dead man himself. One of them stumbled: "My lord, we should die!" You also have to think about it, these people can't all die here, someone must go back alive to report to the Khan! β
"Charge! It's definitely not you who will go back alive! β
The third ten-man commander finally spoke up: "Nurlan is dead, I support you to let these people become death squads." But are we analyzing the battle just now to determine the specific action? "This man's status is on par with Sa and Nu, but because Sa and Nu are good and wear a pair of pants, he has never had much say in the team. This is the best opportunity to come forward and take back the rights. He didn't just talk about it: "Let's see, in the charge just now, we killed two comrades." There were about two teams of 10 on the dirt bags opposite. It shows that their attack power is not strong! The huge crossbow bolt was, in my opinion, not a weapon capable of firing continuously. So I think that if we are not afraid of casualties, we can break through this kind of cottage defense! β
Salma glared at the other party, but saw that the other party looked at him fearlessly, and then remembered that Nurlan, who had always supported her, had died: "As long as I can avenge Nurlan, I will listen to you whatever you say!" β
"We know that there are thirty rebels. Judging by the damage of their bows and arrows, these people are not our opponents yet, they are only relying on the inherent positional defense. How many palace guards are there for the Kyrgyz? Will they be involved in the defense of the Jade Pagoda? If they turn around and help us, then we can win this battle right away. So their attitude is also important! β
That's right, but these people have already run into the city, and now they may have entered the palace, and there is no way to contact them. Salma was a little annoyed: "What you say makes sense. But how can we get in touch with the wolf cubs under the skirts of these women? β
"I can't get in touch either! However, we must at least be sure that they will not help these rebels fight us before we can proceed to the next step. β
This time Salma understood: "You mean that we must send someone to report to the Khan, and let the Yuqi Tashi people know that we have sent messengers?" We're already strained on manpower! "Knowing that someone was leaving, the palace guards did not dare to help the rebels against the Calmaks.
The third ten people said: "No matter how tight the manpower is, you must also make sure that you don't have dozens of more enemies!" I sent Shuk back to report the news. Pick one, too! β
This choice made Salma also secretly admire: Shuke is the brother-in-law of the ten-man man, and he also has military merits to be gained when he goes back to deliver the letter, although there are risks, but the risks are still much smaller than this kind of siege warfare. Thinking of the great danger of dozens of Kyrgyz palace guards in the city, Salma also called out one of his relatives: "Garcia, you and Shuk return together!" "In case he dies in battle, Garcia can at least help support his wife and children.
These two people are not new to the battlefield, and they understand the meaning of this, so they immediately bowed to the two ten people to receive the order, took the commander's token, raised a pennant and whipped away.
The captain of the ten men put on a confident face and lectured the remaining twenty Kalemak soldiers: "With these two heralds, I believe that the guards of the Kirghiz palace will not dare to make a move with us. All we need to do is rush up to the dirt bag, pull down the fence, and we can hack to death all those scumbags who only dare to hide behind and shoot arrows! β
Salma, a brave man, also began to try to boost morale at this time: "Twenty men against twenty people, who have the Kalemaks feared?" Say! β
His subordinates shouted in unison: "None of us are afraid!" β
With a strategy set, the regular army will not lack tactics. The gang was busy launching a second charge, and actually made three long ropes, tied a lump at one end and threw them into the fence, and then beat the horses back, using the impact of the horses to pull down all the fences on the mound. Only two cavalrymen were lost in the whole process.
When the people of Calmak rushed to the dirt bag for the third time, as if everyone had eaten a fly, the cheering suddenly stopped. At this time, the Kyrgyz had abandoned the city defenses, and piled up three layers of repulsive horses about fifty paces away from the mound and waited for the charge. If you get a little closer, you can hurt someone with a strong crossbow, but you can't do anything with a bow. The people of Calmak are still in a situation where they can only be beaten and cannot fight back.
Salma sneered: "Dismount and fight!" β
The speed of foot combat is slow, and the advantage is that it can greatly increase defense. Removing the door panels of the houses on both sides, the Calmak people did not care about the shivering residents hiding in the houses, and in groups of three, they held the door panels and began to move slowly towards the opposite horse. With the support of the door panel, the opponent has no weapon that can threaten him except for the powerful crossbow arrow.
Halfway through the procession, a thunderbolt of bowstrings sounded in their ears, and everyone began to pray for a moment that they were not the unlucky ones chosen by the enemy.
There is more than one unlucky ghost. This time, two people were shot through the crossbow. These two people are also able to resist, and they will not back down when their blood volume bottoms out, and they still stick to the door board with their comrades. A cold snap of wind and snow blew from the rear of the team along the street, freezing two seriously wounded to death.
There is more than one giant crossbow. The enemy is not just in front of you.
The two ten-man leaders were the first to react, and when they looked back, they saw that the two dirt bags they had just given up were already crowded with adventurers. How many people are there? Can't see clearly, at least a hundred to two hundred! His team of twenty or so people has been surrounded by rebels in this narrow street!
More than twenty Kalmak soldiers were at a loss, and the adventurer baron on the dirt bag had already waved his hand to order, and the adventurers formed several phalanxes and approached the Kalmak people in turn.
The adventurer's line is orderly in front and behind, and at the front are all warriors with high blood or shield-wielding classes. The second echelon is a handful of magicians, and the one who takes the lead is Im Hanbing, who has just launched a range magic 'Wind and Snow'. The third and second echelons were closely linked, all archers, and the number was as many as forty or fifty people. Even so, there are hundreds of people who are still in the rear hoping to gain some experience, but they are not accessible due to the width of the street.
Salma looked up and saw that the leader of the adventurers was standing on a high place looking at him, and one of the people beside him was holding up an earthy red pennant with a frost mask!
This is Garcia's messenger mark. Salma's heart sank to the valley.
Another ten-man captain stood beside him: "We lost. It turned out that the enemy led us into the streets, not because we couldn't resist it, but because we needed a narrower place where we had nowhere to escape! β
Salma looked around in a daze, and when he saw a child looking out of the window facing the street, his anger suddenly exploded: "Kill all the Kyrgyz people in the houses on the street!" β
β¦β¦
In this block, there are more than 20 residents. As the preset battlefield for adventurers, the inhabitants have long been evacuated. However, there are still some people who are reluctant to leave their homes. Before the arrows could be shot at them, the Kalemaks pushed a dozen or so residents who had never left their houses into the streets and hacked them to death, and then roared with red eyes and screamed at the adventurers who came in formation.
Behind them were thirty Kirgiz men who rushed in with the same red eyes and sacrificing their lives.
"Why take out the Courier Flag?" Baron Twilight stares at Norrouz, his angry eyes almost bursting with flames.
Nuorouzi's face was expressionless: "I just want to beat the morale of the other party!" This way your brother will be able to reduce some of the casualties. β
"You want to anger the people of Calmak and create even greater hatred to ensure that more people will follow you! You, you've let me down so much! "At this moment, the baron can't change anything.
Norouzi looked at the baron: "My friend, you shouldn't think so! I think it's a sacrifice. For the revival of the whole of Kirgiz. It's politics, for ......"
"Enough! Put away your nonsense! Whoever inspires others to make sacrifices and manages to enjoy the fruits of victory for themselves is a despicable and shameless villain! β
"I have sacrifices! My family has left me to find another way to make a living because I donated all my possessions! Like everyone else, I eat bran and live hard, just so that the Kirgiz people can accumulate a little more strength! β
The quarrel between the two was heard only by Ayilulah. Adventurers focus only on the team ahead and want to share a little experience. Most of the aborigines were able to fight on the other side of the street. Ailullah couldn't understand what was being argued, and he felt that Noruz was right, but the Baron's words warmed him more. He couldn't make a judgment, and could only hope that the two leading figures would restrain themselves and not let everyone see the fact that the Resistance was divided. He felt that the baron was struggling to suppress his anger.
The baron gritted his teeth and said, "I want you to assure you that your army will not kill women and children in this way under any circumstances!" Otherwise, these adventurers will become enemies of the Kyrgyz! I promise to do it! What about you? β
Norouzi finally lowered his eyes: "I promise!" As long as I'm alive......"
The baron's body flashed with golden light, forty levels, forty-one levels, and with the blessing of the entire team's experience, he was promoted two levels in a row, and his bearing and majesty had faintly surpassed the epic hero in front of him: "You'd better remember this one promise!" β
The Kalemak people who have leveled the Yuqi Pagoda Stone, the Kirgiz space mission is likely to enter a fairly long buffer period. At least until the infant Manas grows up there will be a further push. Su Cheng was so obsessed with the experience during the mission that he almost gave up the mission.
He recounted the incident on the Mercenary Channel: "All along, I have tried my best to communicate with NPCs with realistic standards. Treat those in the camp of order among them as friends. I really can't accept this result! β
The boss was able to do this, and it was the team's luck. It's hard for everyone to say anything.
Ajibayi said: "You may not know what the princess's profession is, right? She is a politician by profession! It must be quite intelligent! I suggested that the Boss go and meet her. β
The highest degree of intelligence, in fact, is not 'intelligent', but to humanize the intelligent object - related to intelligence, but at the same time more emotional, its behavior, decisions to a considerable extent related to the NPC's personality, experience, the lower the degree of intelligence of the NPC, the flatter its personality, intelligent players can use the NPC's personality to play with it. However, if a player wants to guess a highly intelligent NPC, they must be quite familiar with this NPC. The two characteristics of highly intelligent NPCs are ultra-high level or extremely fast development speed. The princess can obtain the title of 'politician', and she is naturally a very high-level intelligent NPC.
Boss Su agreed to Ajibayi's suggestion, so he took the royal flag handed over to him by Ajibayi and went to visit the princess. He was treated with a higher level of courtesy than Ajibayi and Baishan Buick: the princess set up a simple banquet to entertain the adventurer baron who had brought great changes to the Yuqi Pagoda Stone.
The princess smiled and motioned for the baron to sit down behind the desk: "I won't tell you anything, ordinary barons or team leaders will not be personally received by me. These were originally my husband's things. But you are different, and I appreciate you putting the safety of other Kirghiz women on the same level as mine! Even the gods may not be able to do this! β
The baron stroked his chest and bowed his head after a few cases: "They are no more noble than you, just as you are by no means inferior to them. Although you will definitely bring more help and guidance to me and other Kyrgyz people! β
"That's true! Some people are born healthy, intelligent, and well-off, while others are poor, stupid, and even physically incomplete. We know from this that Heaven is unfair. If we continue to increase this injustice with unfair eyes and actions β this is the source of all the unforgivable sins in the world! β
"I am ashamed of your wisdom. I wonder why the Kirgiz, with such a leader as you, have fallen to the point of becoming a vassal of the Kalemaks! β
The princess smiled: "I can see these things clearly, it doesn't mean that I can do this!" I need to follow my husband's arrangement. This is fate, and there is nothing more painful in the world than thisβyou can see it, but you can't control it and you can't change it. Hehe, at my age, I can only hope for the next generation! β
The baron took out the bag wrapped in the royal banner and handed it to the maid, and asked her to pass it on to the princess: "This is what you entrusted to me." None of the Kyrgyz people could help them carry this banner. Please take it back! β
Before the princess could answer, she heard the guard outside the door say: "Lord Norouzi has arrived!" β
The princess motioned to the maid to put away the royal flag: "Please let him in!" β
Before he could finish speaking, Norrouz had already strode into the hall - this act of entering directly without communication was clearly devoid of due respect and etiquette. Norouz didn't seem to see Baron Twilight sitting on the side, let alone the royal flag still held in his arms, he saluted the princess directly: "Dear princess, Norouzi salutes you!" Wishing you well-being! β
The princess was still smiling, but she glanced at Baron Twilight before saying, "You've worked hard!" Please sit across from the baron. With that, with a wave of her hand, the maid brought a small table and set it the same dish as the baron.
Only then did Norouzi turn to Twilight Orange, "Your Excellency is there too!" I wanted to meet the princess with you! β
The baron waved his hand: "Hehe, I was rude." You sit down first! β
After Nuo Rouzi sat down, he swept his eyes to the maid: "The princess is above!" Such a big event happened in Yuqi Pagoda Stone, I don't know what you plan? β
The princess stroked her slightly bulging abdomen: "There are no outsiders here, you should also see that my child is about to be born." The people of Calmak could not tolerate him. I want someone to raise him and teach him on my behalf, so that he can be a man who can make a difference! β
Only then was Nuorouzi moved: "Are you sure this is a prince?" β
"You have slain all the people of Kalemak in the Jade Pagoda. The first thing the priest did after receiving the oil was to pray for me and my child, and he prophesied that my child would be a hero who would go down in history! β
I have already completed a heroic deed of one block ten, why would the priest still make such a prophecy? Am my abilities and wisdom not enough to lead the Kyrgyz people to revival? Norouzi was unhappy, but he was equally convinced of the prophecy of the sacrifice: "I believe in the prophecy of the sacrifice. But we can't compete with the Calmaks yet. Can you tell me what your plans are? I hope your plans match ours! β
The princess has already made a decision about this: "Norouz, the force you lead is still very weak, and it is impossible to fight against the Kalemaks. Therefore I intend to ask you and the Baron to be the protectors of this child, to teach him and protect him until he is able to organize his own forces! The two of you also have enough strength and wisdom to teach a hero's descendants! β
Of course, Norouz knew the Baron's strength, and he also knew the Baron's weakness in this matter: adventurers slept for long periods of time every day. He is different, he only needs to take a nap every day to gain enough energy to deal with many things. It seems that the princess does not yet know the weaknesses of these adventurers. In this case, he will be able to easily control the young prince in the future! Thinking of this, Norouzi stood up and bowed and beat his chest: "Norouzi is willing to assist the prince with his life's energy...... I wonder what kind of name the princess will give to the prince of Kirgiz? β
The princess looked at the two of them: "Since you have decided to leave his fate to you, please come and name him!" β
Feeling that he had the upper hand in this matter, Norouz decided to give the honor to the baron: "I wonder what the baron thinks the future prince should be called?" β
The baron gave in slightly: "This child will rely on his own wisdom and the strength of his subordinates to parade around the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains, bringing a stable and prosperous life to the people along the way." I want to call him a patrolman. What do you think? β
"According to the language, the patrolman is also Manas. It's a good name! With the princess above, my plan is to lead the Kirgiz people who are willing to follow me from Yuqi Tashi to a place called Turpan through Yingisha, Jianggeles, Pishan, Hotan, Niya, Jimo, Ruoqiang, and Loulan, and through the Dongda Pass. The land was fertile and rich in grapes and wheat, which allowed the people to multiply quickly. At the same time, Turpan is backed by Bogda Mountain, and when we encounter an invincible opponent, we can enter Bogda Mountain. This holy mountain has always had the reputation of 'guardian', and miracles are frequent, and no one dares to provoke a war in the mountain for no reason! β
Well, you use Bogda as a refuge, this is the rhythm of running into Benjue's lair! Su Cheng listened to this joy in his heart! He knew the general route of Manas's refuge and wandering, and he also knew the story of Manas's establishment of his position in Turpan, but he didn't expect that Norrouz's choice of Turpan as a refuge was also related to Tar, the guardian of the Tianshan region!
But he still had a lot of tasks to do, and it was impossible for him to stay with Manas for a long time. Well, Ingisha must go, and maybe he can take his swordsmith mission one step further. As for the rest of the time, just find two more masters for Manas to teach him together! Ajibayi and Kunshan stone are all available! Having made up his mind, the baron bowed to the princess and nodded to Norouz: "I support your idea. Also, I would like to find a few more teachers for this child. His profound knowledge will enhance his future leadership skills! I can teach him marksmanship myself. What about you? β
