Chapter 319: Final Respect
With the casualties, the ten commanders felt that they could give an explanation to the hundred commanders of Jumas, that is, they ordered each army to leave sentries, and the others rested on the spot, eating and drinking a little to replenish their strength.
Kunshan Shi also saw that the other party had sent a falcon for help, and knew that the battle in front of him must be fought quickly. Seeing that the Kalmaks were beginning to rest, he also shouted and rushed down the hill with a dozen men himself—but only halfway up the mountain, fixed the horses, and eleven drew their bows and gathered fire, and shot four close Karmak cavalrymen in succession, and then immediately withdrew to the camp.
Where are the people of Calmak willing? Thirty or forty longbows fired a volley, but only a few people were wounded. If they wanted to shoot arrows at the Kirghiz people in the middle of the mountain, they could only shoot them from their backs, and the power, range, and hit of the bow and arrow were much worse than those of the condescending Kyrgyz.
Seeing the Kirghiz retreat into the camp, the Kalmaks retreated without waiting to reach the foot of the hill, and then found that the three wounded who had remained in the rear to 'watch the house' had been shot dead.
Nine people were killed in the battle, but they didn't even get a single head of the other party. The faces of the five ten-man chiefs were even more ugly.
The team leader spoke: "It looks like there are bandits in ambush under the mountain!" ”
"Bandit fart!" Mark spat out a mouthful of spit angrily, and said angrily: "These people can only be the personal followers of a certain Khan king or the elite of a certain tribe!" Brigand...... They're not that good! ”
Another said: "You can't attack the mountain until you find out the enemy hiding at the foot of the mountain!" ”
More than forty people had just put on a posture of turning around and searching the mountain, when Kunshan Shi led people to rush down again, and still took the life of a soldier even though the Kalemak people were already on guard.
"Death to the sac! This battle can't be fought! The leader of the ten people took a whip and whipped off a basil grass: "Establish a defense on the spot!" If reinforcements don't come, we won't fight! ”
The decision was the right one.
Seeing that the Kalmaks began to defend in place, the Kirghiz, who were about to rush down for the third time, stopped halfway up the mountain.
A Kalemak soldier with a bleeding face patted his chest and shouted: "Come on! Let's fight on the ground and see who has the fastest knife! ”
Of course, a dozen or so people could not charge into battle. The fence on the camp opened, and all the Kyrgyz who could take up arms walked out in silence, some on horseback, some on foot, and more than thirty people stood behind Kunshan Stone with those who came out in front. Kunshan Shi opened his voice and sang: "The clouds gather and disperse, the smoke falls, looking at the sea of eternity, who do you say is a hero, who is a hero's sons and daughters......"
A Calmak soldier exclaimed, "Isn't this the stone of the Chicken Feather Centurion?" When did he become a bard? ”
The corners of the ten-man long mouth twitched: "This guy betrayed the Khan King!" With the Warsong bonus, the overall combat effectiveness of these people is by no means below us! Therefore, everyone must hold their positions and hold out until Master Jumas arrives. Victory, it will definitely be ours! ”
With the singing of Kunshan stone, the Kirgiz people in the middle of the mountain became more and more imposing, some people hit their weapons with the beat, and some people stepped on the beat.
"You and I hold hands and look at the red dust and tears in the vast world,
Fly the whip and walk thousands of miles,
Only the loyal liver and righteous courage,
Oh righteous courage and loyal liver,
He was moved ......"
A song that does not burn blood, and the ironclad longbow proves the loyal soul. The Kyrgyz did not wait for Kunshanshi's order, and had already gathered their troubadours to step down the mountain. More than 40 people, the cavalry was in the center of the convex front, and more than 10 people scattered into two wings on foot, more and more happily, rushing straight to the enemy formation under the mountain.
The Kalmak cavalry was not weak, knowing that the opponent was carrying the tiger down the mountain, even if the cavalry could not be used as a hedge, they could only stick to the position: the first row of people gathered the long soldiers, supported the handle on the ground, and tried to give the opponent enough damage when they met the enemy, and the others opened their bows and arrows, and the strings opened the full moon, and only waited for the long knives of ten people to cut down, and they would shoot immediately.
He led a team of ten people with a long scimitar pointing obliquely at the sky, silently counting in his heart, estimating the distance of the enemy, and wanting to give the Kyrgyz the heaviest blow at the distance where the bow and arrow were the most powerful: "Five, four、......"
"Boom!"
"Who's firing the arrows?" His heart was shocked, knowing that such a huge sound of strings could not be made by any one of his own team—it was someone sniping him with a giant crossbow—and his eyes flashed, and he slashed straight behind him, but he heard a soft 'poof' sound in his ears, and the war horse under his crotch neighed wildly, almost knocking him off the horse. The forefoot of the war horse hit the ground, and he rushed to the side without hesitating the ten-man man's tight chews, knocking over several cavalrymen with bows and about to shoot before they fell to the ground. The ten-man leader smashed the left camp of thirty archers, and the right side was also attacked at the same time, but it was a magic archer skill burst shot, which turned the seven or eight archers' bombers on their backs. A penetrating shot wounded two people. Of the thirty archers, only a few persisted in a charged shot, and the rest didn't know where their arrows had hit.
The ten men stood up in ignorance, covered with dust, and did not observe the enemy's situation, but first looked at their war horses, only to see a crossbow bolt with the thickness of a thumb stuck under the tail of the war horse, leaving only three inches of arrows outside. This arrow is both ruthless and poisonous, and the life of the war horse continues to fall, if there is no sacrifice to cast a spell, the war horse will not live for ten breaths! In a trance, a scimitar slashed down, and the ten people subconsciously waved the knife to block, but forgot that their scimitar had been lost at the moment of falling off the horse, and was slashed in the arm.
The person who came was the Kunshan Stone that had broken through into the enemy formation. He slashed the enemy with a single sword, and tried to slash again, but was attacked by another ten-man commander. The ten-man chief was none other than Mark: "Curry! Watch your back! The ten-man man turned around, and Boss Su's Frost City Guardian roared again, and an arrow exploded his head. He received three heavy blows in a row, such as a fall, a broken arm, and a strong nu, and he couldn't hold on anymore and fell headlong.
Kunshan Shi broke into the enemy formation alone, and before the cavalry behind him arrived, a sudden gust of wind struck the sand and dust raised by the horse team on the faces of the Kalemak people. Kunshan Shi shouted: "Immortal Heaven is helping us!" Kill all these jackals! ”
The leader was dead, the defensive formation was broken by the Kirghiz with the momentum of the tiger descending the mountain, and the formation of the Kalemak cavalry was in disarray. Mark automatically took on the responsibility of leading the team: "Shrink the formation, each team huddles, and let out the flaws and let their cavalry rush over!" Wait for them to slow down and fight again......"
This group of Kirgiz people is not a rookie on the battlefield, knowing that once their arrows penetrate the enemy position, they will be weakened in the future, and they will lose their current favorable terrain when they turn around and fight again. After their horse team broke into the enemy's formation, they divided to both sides, almost dividing the more than forty people of Calmak into three places, and only then did they stabilize their horses and begin to fight with each other. Twenty Kalemak soldiers had fallen behind the Kirghiz cavalry, but they could not take advantage of the higher terrain to attack, because twelve herdsmen's warriors on foot had already arrived at the battlefield and joined forces with the cavalry in the middle of the battlefield to encircle them. These shepherds, who had just turned into 'bandits', although their combat effectiveness was not very strong, but after the addition of Kunshan Stone Battle Song and the use of the momentum of diving, they actually scattered the Calmak people who had just been grouped again. Blood bloomed like flowers, shouts of killing echoed through the valley, and occasionally thunderbolts rang out.
Baron Twilight, Nine Heavens of the Phoenix Dance, and Agibayi were still entrenched on the periphery of the battlefield, and the three of them gathered fire, forced, explosive, and penetrating shots, and greeted the ten elders in the middle of the Calmaks. For each person they killed, the morale of the Kalemak people dropped by three points, and compared to the Kyrgyz people with high morale, there were only fifty percent of the combat strength left at most, and they were all the last courage to save their lives.
In this battle, fifty-five Kalmaks were completely annihilated. The Kirghiz sacrificed eight cavalry and ten herdsmen who had just joined. Blood soaked the entire mountain bag.
Su Cheng, Fengwu Jiutian, Ajibayi, and Kunshan Shi were upgraded again.
Ignoring the celebration, Kunshan Shi immediately arranged for someone to inform the princess to prepare to evacuate: "The others will clean up the battlefield immediately." Nothing but horses, food, and weapons are to be touched! Separate the corpses of the Kalemaks from those of the Kyrgyz - they should be neatly arranged and leave the last dignity of the dead! I repeat: except horses, food, and weapons, nothing else of the dead must be moved! Violators will be killed! ”
The baron walked up to Kunshan Shi: "Shanshi, many soldiers who equip us can also use it." Why not? ”
Kunshan Shi hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted: "My lord is not in the army, I don't know." The remains of enemy fighters were laid out as a sign of respect among the soldiers. In this way, the opposing reinforcements will also treat the remains of our soldiers kindly. As you can see, we don't have time to place the remains of our comrades! ”
The baron was appreciative of this: "It is a very valuable tradition for soldiers to maintain this basic respect even when they are hostile to each other. However, the soldiers are fast, which will delay the time for the princess to evacuate. In this way, you take the princess first. I'll deal with the remnants of the battlefield. ”
Kunshan Shi went on to explain: "There are still such traditions. Even if we can only leave the battlefield one step earlier, the enemy must first clean up the battlefield and collect the remains of our comrades. My lord, this is the last little bit of respect a soldier has for the dead in battle! If their commander fails to do this, it will arouse the disgust of the soldiers under his command, not only will the morale of the whole army drop and the combat strength will be damaged, but the next battle, the soldiers may even disobey orders and avoid fighting. For the commander, the gains really outweigh the losses. You can rest assured! ”
Kunshan Shi was born in the army, and Boss Su couldn't believe in the tradition he said: "Then what should we do with the bones of our comrades?" ”
"If we treat their brothers' bones well, they have no reason to let our brothers run into the wilderness. What do you think, what are the big-headed soldiers most afraid of? First, there was a fire in the backyard and the family house changed; The second is to die on the battlefield but have no burial! Rest assured, the bones of the brothers will be buried in the most basic way! ”
