Chapter 523: Capturing the Enemy Chief Alive

Thomas was in the center, Higg was in the north, and Sinkma was in the south, although the number of troops on the three sides was not large, but they pressed the nomadic cavalry of Gonaya and had the upper hand, Gonaya's army gradually collapsed, and the Chinese army of the tribal leader had to give up resistance under the fierce pursuit of the Thomas Holy Knights, and scattered towards the river on the border, intending to force the river. The nomadic cavalry of the whole Gonaya collapsed completely, some of them running towards the river, some of them running along the banks, and some of them scattered and fled.

Higg, who had been paying attention to the actions of the other leader, turned over and dismounted, and took the lead to reach the bank of the river, and quickly approached the position of the Chinese army where the tribal leader who was about to cross the river in a few consecutive Ling Bo micro-steps along the riverbank, like a god descending to earth, and instantly approached the tribal leader, more than a dozen guards rode horses in front of him, arrows and short spears beckoned to Hige, and the tribal leader also held a scimitar in his hand, ready to fight, but unexpectedly, his war horse sank, and Hig had fallen firmly behind him, and the prophet's sword was on his neck.

If the opponent's formation is not chaotic, it will be difficult for Higg to break through the tight defense of the military formation in the leader and capture the head of the general among the ten thousand troops! Fishing in troubled waters and robbing while the fire is Higg's consistent style, the other party's resistance has been unsystematic, and the slightest negligence was caught by Higg, especially close to the river so that Higg can use the treading technique of Ling Bo Weibu, thinking that the enemy army will be safe when he reaches the riverbank, and finally fell into Higg's way.

The leader was restrained, except for the nomadic cavalry in the position of the Chinese army, the other parts of the nomadic cavalry did not know about it, and they were still struggling to flee.

"Stop!" Higg let out a loud shout, and the sound resounded throughout the battlefield. Standing tall on his horseback, Higg held the fat tribal leader high above his head, trying to stop the enemy's sporadic resistance or flight.

But where did anyone listen to him? This is not Alasia, there is no such thing as the Lord will stop being controlled, and his own life will always be much more important than the life of the tribal leader. Everyone was stunned, except for the more than 100 people guarding the Chinese army, the others still went their own way and resumed their movements, which greatly embarrassed Higg, who was holding high the tribal leader who was constantly struggling and screaming......

No one wants to surrender, the rule on the steppe is that surrender means becoming a slave, and becoming a slave is very likely to become military rations, so what if the leader is caught, laying down his arms will only make himself used as food by his opponent, who wants to do this?

The Harandor clan does not need captives for the time being, it will become a burden to them, no one has the energy to care about the life and death of these captives, and if they are captured, they will have to be guarded to prevent them from rebelling, Harandol does not have the energy now. Therefore, Higg's behavior was not heeded.

But it was not without effect, the capture of the leader of the whole army hastened the collapse of the whole army, and even the sporadic resistance was gone, and most of the people crossed the river one after another, because as long as they reached other spheres of influence, the Harandor would stop, and at this time, the Harandor would not venture into other people's territory and add trouble to themselves. Countless arrows were fired towards the nomadic cavalry in the river, and the nomadic cavalry who were moving slowly and unable to dodge in the river landed in the middle of the middle, and in an instant, the water of the entire river turned red......

Strength speaks, survival of the fittest, this is the law of the grassland. If you don't kill the enemy more, the enemy will kill you in turn when he gets better, so there is no mercy to talk about. Seeing the wounded wolf, the downcast wolf, I can't bear to save it, and it will be my own cattle and sheep who will suffer. Therefore, the grassland people are born with a lack of mercy, and what is more is wolf nature, for their own survival, for the reproduction of the tribe, then they can only make others unable to survive, so that other tribes can not reproduce. There is so much space, when there is no opportunity to release contradictions to the outside races, the fighting of the various tribes between the grasslands has always been the bloodiest, the most cruel, and ruthless, and even for the sake of the interests of the cattle and sheep in the territory, it can be treacherous, even between brothers, fathers and sons, no exception.

The red-eyed Harandows were no exception, they were fighting with all their might against the crumbling enemy, those in the river, running in all directions, constantly chasing and intercepting, constantly rushing back and forth, constantly pouring their arrows and short spears into the river......

From the initial 30,000 people, the fleeing Gonaya nomadic cavalry who crossed the river and scattered in all directions, no more than 10,000 people, pursued from the morning until the sunset in the afternoon, when a game of wolf chasing sheep was staged, and the army gradually gathered back and returned to this lush pasture full of corpses, and the grass here will be more lush next year......

Having captured the tribal leader, Higg had already completed his mission, throwing the captives to the nomadic cavalry behind him, and began to treat the wounded of the Harandor tribe, who he thought was bloody and cruel enough, and was a docile little sheep compared to the wolves of these steppe cavalry.

……

"Marshal!" "Mr. Higg!"

Thomas and Sinkma both returned to meet Higg, and behind them, a four-winged butterfly, a butterfly cloud, was flying, and their faces were filled with smiles of joy after victory.

In addition to the tribal leaders captured by Higg and the more than a hundred guards loyal to the tribal leaders laid down their arms and surrendered, tens of thousands of people were defeated, and Thomas and Sinkma did not take a single prisoner.

Higg nodded, did not speak, no captives are the rules of the grassland, he is unwilling to destroy, but this will cause a lot of trouble to Harando, not accepting surrender, it will only make the enemy more desperately resist, pay a greater price, and the damage is still the interests of the Harlandor tribe itself, especially now that the forces have become stronger, they should rely on some Huairou to divide and absorb some forces, rather than blindly forcibly suppressing them. Higg, who originally wanted to say something to this, didn't say it in the end, these truths, Thomas has been with him for so long, how much will he understand, the reason why he doesn't do this, naturally has his reasons, after all, the Harlandor clan is his, and the rules of the grassland are not set by him, he doesn't need to pour cold water on Thomas after the victory, only when he really suffers, will he really understand this truth, and will make changes.

"Where is Zartai now?" Although Higg did not approve of Thomas Sinckma's approach and did not point it out, he did not congratulate them either, and only asked Thomas.

"My father has been west of the base camp of the Gonaya Department for more than two days, and he has been confronting tens of thousands of enemy troops!" Thomas also said worriedly, "However, after the victory on our side, there is nothing to be afraid of, the Gonaya tribe has become lambs to the slaughter, and many small tribes will quickly turn their horses' heads against them!" ”

"The victory here didn't get there so quickly, did it?" Higg asked.

"Although the victory here is not so fast, the news that the Gonaya base camp has been defeated by us, I have let people spread it all over the grassland!" Sinkma said with a smile, "The tens of thousands of people who confronted the patriarch could only wait and see if they didn't reinforce their base camp!" They will wait for the news here, we have won, they will go back to their respective tribes, we lose, the patriarch will be in danger, so, Mr. Higg, don't worry! ”

Higg nodded, he had always admired Sinkma for doing everything he could, and said, "This is the matter of your Harando tribe, it is the matter of the grassland, it is up to you to deal with it yourself, see your patriarch, tell him to go back to the Gonaya base camp, I will wait for him there!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Higg!" Sinkma said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will divide into two ways with the young clan commander to clean up the remnants of the Gonaya tribe in each department, please stay in the Gonaya tribe for a while!" ”

"Thomas, the Holy Knights are the army of my Fifth Legion, and I brought them to the grassland to participate in the army ceremony!" Higg said, "It is inconvenient for them to show more faces on the grassland, and I am not willing to interfere in the affairs of your grassland, I plan to let them follow me back to the Gonaya base camp, and you can destroy the remnants of each tribe in two ways with these 4,000 men?" ”

"Lord Marshal and the Holy Knights' help to our Harandor clan is already higher than the sky, and I don't plan to take the Holy Knights to clear out the remnants of the various tribes!" Thomas smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marshal, this victory, coupled with the capture of the enemy chieftain, the resistance of all the departments is symbolic, and there is only one way left for them, and that is to join me Harando, now there are only four thousand, and when we go back, it will definitely be more than forty thousand, hahaha!" Let Die Caiyun follow the marshal back, the base camp also needs manpower! ”

……

Early in the morning, the troops were divided into three routes, Thomas led 2,000 men and horses all the way to the west, Sinkma led the remaining less than 2,000 people to the east, and Sig and Butterfly Caiyun took the Holy Knights, as well as hundreds of wounded soldiers, and took more than 100 prisoners, including the tribal leaders of the Gonaya tribe, all the way to the south, and the normal walk was more than five days, but it took at least nearly ten days to hold the prisoners. But Higg did not want to go this way, and when he met the nomads, he "borrowed" more than a hundred horses from the nomads, and all the captives rode forward.

The captives in the custody of the Holy Knights, if someone dares to escape, it is a dead end, no one intends to die, even if they become slaves, they know that they will die, and no one wants to die right away, people are always like this, they can live one more day, it is better to die than to live, otherwise, everyone knows that their final outcome is death, so why bother to jump for decades?

The Gonaya tribe's base camp has been changed beyond recognition, and 5,000 nomadic cavalry of the Harandor tribe are ordering more than 100,000 people who were once masters to be organized but are now slaves to rebuild the base camp.

This is a treasure of feng shui, most of the rivers on the grassland are inland rivers, converge to relatively low-lying places, form lakes, lakes are the end of many inland rivers, but also the favorite place of nomads, next to the lake must be rich in water and grass, pleasant climate.

To the east of the base camp of the Gonaya tribe is a large lake with a radius of twenty or thirty kilometers, which has become the largest and most status-symbolic wealth of the Gonaya tribe, but now it belongs to the Harando.

Lakes shrink in large areas during the winter, but such a large lake does not dry up completely, forming huge mirrored ice blocks on the surface of the lake, and in order to get water, the ice must be chiseled. It is the height of summer, it is the fullest lake and the most lush gathering of aquatic plants, and many migratory birds will also use this semi-wetland as their summer breeding place, which is very lively and beautiful.
