Chapter 121: The trumpets beat the golden drum
The armies of the Mammoth Khanate stook their horses like a dark cloud heading eastward, bringing thunder and showers of extermination to the cannibal barbarian tribes in their path.
The sound of hooves is the sound of thunder and war drums, and the sound of trumpets is the beginning of destruction, and the iron rider is like a wave. Breaking through all obstacles, it is unstoppable.
In this vast grassland, in the past long years, there has never been such a large army invasion.
It is mainly the level of productivity that determines that it is difficult to appear a strong and numerous large force.
The daily consumption of the conquest army is a huge expense.
From a purely material point of view, the conquering tribes is not actually profitable, or even loss-making.
The steppe is vast and sparsely populated, and on average one tribe can be seen and conquered in two days, which is already highly efficient.
The cannibal tribes are extremely familiar with the geography around them, and they have vigilant rangers, and they will also choose to take refuge, such as some ravines with strange terrain, and it is difficult to find this kind of ground fissure below the surface unless you get closer.
However, the Majest tribe kept falcons and hounds.
With clever technology and powerful combat power, the Mammoth tribe has the ability to fight cannibalism.
The falcon flies into the sky and hovers high in the sky, and there is prey.
The amount of prey depends on the size of the falcon's circling range.
If it was only a small tribe, the Golden Horde would ride a fierce and unruly bone-faced lizard and plant the banner of the majest in front of the people of that tribe.
Submit or die!
The Golden Horde would have shouted out the demands of the conquering armies.
If it is a large tribe, the Golden Horde will send one part as a sharp arrow, and the other tribes will send a part as an entourage, and directly stage a conquest battle.
To persuade, first subdue, the army is not interested in bargaining with any tribe.
And such a conquest campaign is a little more flavorful than an armed parade.
The side that was ruined was still very desperate, heroically resisting the brutal invaders.
But only the will is worth mentioning, and the difference in strength is too far.
Thousands of horsemen unfurled, and the green earth immediately rolled up a wave of death, which was comparable to the military formation of medieval hoplite cavalry, when the iron cavalry charged, when the saber shining, a few abilities and crossbow guns could not save the sky at all, at most it was to create a few unlucky ghosts.
Escape! Spread the news, the tide of destruction has risen, and it is necessary to unite and form an army to resist destruction!
In Crab Tianluo, Kukai erected a water curtain, and the magic weapon Jade Harrier constantly brought back audio-visual materials to present on the water curtain, watching the battle from the perspective of the gods.
She saw the main theme of the conquering side, the song of killing and grass.
The harsh side of the militarized system is also seen.
When the Golden Horde guards blow the horn, those who ignore it, whether they are packing Zhenghuan or hey, will be whipped with a leather whip that splits their heads and covers their faces.
The whip-bearer often rides the bone-faced lizard to rush forward, and when it is close to the bone-faced lizard, the bone-faced lizard jumps high, and the whip bearer stomps on the pedals, stands up straight, condescending, and swings the python whip as thick as a child's arm.
The tip of this kind of leather whip has more than a dozen forks, and there are hard bone spurs in the tip of the whip, which is very powerful when whipped.
If you use the shooting technique of 300 warriors, the slow-motion effect of the moment when the whip bearer dances the whip is definitely a B-level classic.
There is the evil fire that has been stirred up and the Guards are desperate, how can they fight?
The whip bearer is equivalent to the gendarme in the Guards, he is the best in himself, and he is controlled by Wang Xiu, and he is practicing Xu Changqing's Tiemu Guiyuan Gong, which is a variant of the cultivation method of wrestlers.
Luxes are not short of strength, not to mention that they are the winners of the gladiatorial arena and are excellent humanoid weapons.
With their desperate strength, these Flesh Warriors demonstrated the horrors of the Golden Horde to their enemies and their own.
After several expeditions and the killing of more than a dozen rebels, the people of the vassal tribes who were far less military camped than the Mammoth Department also knew what the rules were, and the expeditions became more and more efficient.
After watching a few shows, Kukai gradually felt bored, much the same, I came, I saw, I conquered. Just wait for the Khanate to fight the alliance of barbarian tribes.
Another uninteresting part is that a lot of time is spent coordinating and restraining the team.
The discipline of the Golden Horde was good, but the other tribes that accompanied him were much worse.
The basic quality of the individual is still poor, the acceptance ability is not strong, the plasticity is low, and the memory of eating is not remembered.
Know that flogging is not an end, but a means.
And once any means are used frequently, it is not expensive, in medical terms, drug resistance.
Overall Evaluation: Wild and untamable, too stubborn to be cultivated.
When I think of such an action, it will be praised again and again in a few years, and it will be crowned as the battle of unification, sweeping the eight wildernesses, and the epic title of connecting hundreds of departments, I have a feeling of how much history boasts.
"It's not grandiose, it's not just, it's not very profound. It is not the eloquence and foresight of a certain person, but the slightly more civilized savages who have overcome the more ignorant group by virtue of their numbers. ”
Xu Changqing said what she thought in her heart.
"I don't think these people know what they're doing."
Xu Changqing nodded, "Most of the participants' thinking is really simple, and it can be said to be a tendon. I checked, it's not an IQ problem, it's a thinking pattern. The difference is like the difference between a dolphin and a human. ”
Kukai knows that dolphins have an IQ similar to that of a 6 or 7-year-old child, and they are very smart, but they can't really think like a 6 or 7-year-old child, and the difference lies in this mode of thinking.
"Does this mean that IQ is not an absolute standard?"
"Yes, the pattern is very important, I compare it to the mode of operation, I was thinking, since there is such a difference, then the normal human thinking mode is compared to the decimal system, will the fairy road be hexadecimal? Of course, it is not a question of which is more sophisticated, but which is more appropriate......
Xu Changqing's academic discussion with Kuhai, the demon king rarely participates, he is more self-conscious than Xu Changqing, he can do it as if no one is around, and he likes to use the sound of the piano to express his emotions or attitudes, very expressive, often just a few notes, can make people's hearts clear.
He doesn't just play ancient songs, some modern music, and he can also play it with taste. Like 'Chibi-Dajiangdong Go'.
This song was composed by the Japanese, but the demon king lived in seclusion in the blessed land, and did not receive full patriotic influence, and has the indifference of the Taoist to the world.
More importantly, some of his views are very consistent with Xu Changqing's.
For example, if you have a grudge, you go, don't BB, don't be hypocritical.
This is also an important reason why the two have known each other for a short time and have not seen each other much, but their relationship is not bad.
At their level, there are many things that do not need to be forced to themselves, and they can talk about beggars and drink, and they can't talk about presidents and kings, after all, they have enough strength to maintain this kind of behavior.
The three initiates lived together, and as the days grew a little longer, the differences between them became apparent.
The demon king is a casual character, round on the outside and square on the inside, very assertive, but he won't put out the edges and corners at every turn.
He cultivates the path of forgetting love, and if you want to forget love, you must first understand love, which is also one of the reasons why he is friendly with Xu Changqing.
In the eyes of Xu Changqing and Kukai, the demon king's temperament is ethereal and leisurely, and it seems that he can let go of everything at any time and fly away.
Ethereal and distant, both real and illusory, in harmony with the Tao...... Yang cultivators are often this kind of temperament, and they are also recognized as the most immortal style and rhyme
Kukai is characterized by being lively and curious, but lacking in patience.
The contagious effect of her soul force field is real, making people have rich emotions, not coldness.
Like most girls, Kukai likes colorful and solid colors, and dresses casually, that's Qiao makeup, but in fact, his daily life is very particular, with a full set of life instruments, food, clothing, housing and transportation, never settled, and there is indeed the style of the eldest lady.
In the eyes of the Demon King and Kukai, Xu Changqing is a German, rigid and self-discipline is his biggest characteristic, he is the busiest of the three, and he does not have the casualness and arbitrariness of most cultivators, even if he doesn't like things, he can do it well.
Kukai smiled and said, "If I get in touch with you for a long time, I will find that you can make achievements not because of showmanship, but because of your personality." ”
Indeed, he likes and is accustomed to planning his time properly, and he is a natural planner and efficiency appliant, and rarely lets himself stop.
He was even able to instruct more than a thousand officers and soldiers in their cultivation.
Although he had never been a teacher, in just three days, he divided the officers and soldiers into the five elements of yin and yang, and taught them separately, which was very targeted.
In addition, he is very interested in scientific research, more precisely, he is very interested in the analysis of the immortal system in the direction of science.
But he didn't have the qualities of a serious scientist himself, so he went to the military's scientific research group to experience the atmosphere and observe its actions.
There are also scientific research groups in Sky City, but in comparison, human scientists from the Origin World are more formal and rigorous. After all, it is in the period of rising civilization, and the rules and laws are well implemented.
Kukai and the Demon King also discovered that Xu Changqing did not even let go of the military's medical escort team, and communicated with them when he had time, mainly to discuss professional knowledge.
The two have always believed that the reason why Xu Changqing is strong is that he studies hard and can enjoy it.
Kukai also asked him about this: "How can you not be a scholar with such a temperament?" ”
"Uh...... I'm not interested in what is taught in school. ”
This is the truth, whether he is shallow or short-sighted, he can't learn most of what is taught in school. Even if he vaguely understood at that time, mathematics, physics and chemistry were helpful for analyzing the immortal dao system.
He is a realist, and the correlation must be visible and touchable in order for him to learn.
I discussed it with the military doctor because he lacked understanding of the battlefield first aid of Western medicine and wanted to corroborate with himself.
Communicating with the soldiers, he considered that as the boss, he should also have at least tactical and strategic literacy, otherwise it would not be enough to dominate Wang Xiu and her command. He can not specialize, but he can't make low-level mistakes.
Also, these special forces are also very skilled in fighting or something, which is helpful for perfecting his knife theory......
Coupled with the daily fixed cultivation of the Yuan Shen, the training of the unity of spirit and flesh, and the repair of the magic weapon Xuan Needle, his schedule is already very full.
But he still has something to do, he has to ask about the carving of the Five Elements Rune Formation, he has to ask about the planning and preparation of the heavy industry base, and he also has to ask about the confirmation of mineral resources.
Where is this vacation, this is simply burying one's head in the end.
He didn't even watch the decisive battle between the Khanate and the coalition forces in the northwestern part of the steppe.
The coalition side gathered more than 15,000 troops, including cavalry and foot combat, and the equipment was varied, but the individuals were very strong and strong.
The Khanate was also fifteen thousand, and the rest had to take care of a huge captive population.
Fifteen thousand horsemen, forming nine cavalry teams, divided into arrays, although not very neat, but at least the arrays are distinct and orderly.
The yellow blades of grass fluttered in the wind, and the desolate sound of the horn matched the already chilly late autumn.
For the animals on the grassland, this is the last fat period, for the conquests, this is a battle to see if they can enjoy a good life in the next few years, and for one side, it involves life and death, not to mention defeat, that is, too many injuries and deaths, winter hunting will be a problem.
No matter what kind of will it represents, what kind of hardship or ideal it has, war is the best stage to test wisdom, technology, and strength, and the side of the Khanate, like the sabre held high by the Golden Horde, represents the most advanced in this region, because they are the coercion.
The product of these strict military educations, these well-nourished professional killers who study the art of combat every day, these reckless men in heavy leather armor, riding small tyrannosaurs, and armed with metal weapons, rushed into the coalition array like red-hot steel knives stabbing into butter.
They are the quenched blades, they are the bloodless swift blades, and they are the spokesmen of death.
Then there was no more, looking down from the sky, the chaotic coalition army, like a pond smashed by a boulder, exploded in its entirety, forming an uproar, and with just one charge, it turned into countless scattered individuals.
The stage of chasing the dead to the north begins. Many cannibals are dying and crying out about the injustice of the heavens, and they don't understand why their witchcraft, their arrows, have not worked.
The technology is too poor, if you look at the situation at that time with the eyes of the law, the bloody qi on the side of the khanate formed a huge totem, this is the condensed force, under the golden pill, in the face of such an army, there is a risk of life and death.
Kukai also specially recruited Xu Changqing to ask, "Is this good?" ”
Xu Changqing made up for the decisive battle and said, "This way can we help." ”
He knew that Kukai was worried about the backlash.
These barbarians continue to grow like this, and after ten or twenty years, there is a possibility of killing his initiators, after all, he raised a vicious wolf.
He also thought of this risk, this arrogant wild wolf, this time he ate the fat as he wished.
So what about next time? What about next time? Who will thwart its growing greed, ferocity, and arrogance? Is it the nest, or is it him, the master who makes the rules?
But if you want to get it, you have to take risks, and he's not the kind of person who only keeps a few courtiers to amuse or deal with low-end chores.
When the army returned, the wild and fierce domineering spirit made the demon king secretly frightened.
He, like Kukai, didn't know about the existence of Zhou Tian Xingdoutu.
But he knows Xu Changqing's character better than Kukai, and knows that Xu Changqing should have the corresponding means.
After thinking about it, he still warned Xu Changqing that his topic entry point was the people's wishes......
