Chapter 64: Mingjian
The city lord of Xiliang City chases horses and belongs to the grassland horse tribe, so there is no shortage of war horses in Xiliang City.
Because of the support of the alliance, an ironclad cavalry was formed, which was called the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, with a total of 2,000 cavalry.
Two thousand heavy armored cavalry is the capital that he feels can devour the human tribe and embark on the road of the human king, and it is also one of the sources of his ambition.
At this time, the two thousand iron horsemen had been reorganized under the West City Gate, and the long procession continued from the front of the City Gate to the main street in the city.
Zhuma is a burly man, with an outstanding appearance, and an iron armor plated with bright brown lacquer, which looks imposing.
He came out of the city lord's palace and beat the horse slowly, so that the horse walked at a steady pace, and his own body followed the rhythm of the horse, as if it were one with the horse.
It was his sixth steed, the previous five, three from training and two from the battlefield.
He chases horses and is a well-deserved general of a hundred battles, and he has fought in the White Lion City and the Wild Bull City.
Since taking power, there are countless small tribes.
Therefore, the moment he stepped out of the city lord's mansion in armor, the clansmen cheered for him, and the warriors saluted with reverence.
"Bang. ”
Every time he walked a while, he would tap the broken leaf armor on his chest with his right hand with an iron glove, and salute himself to Xiliang Tie.
"Bang. ”
All the knights who can see it will also respond neatly to their leader.
Thus he walked from the rear of the line to the front, pulled his horse and turned to look at the cavalry commander who had gathered here.
There are two commanders here, four of the five hundreds, eight of the two or five chiefs, twenty centurions, and the newly promoted Manu is also here, and he is the commander of the thousand horses who leads the team by horse.
"Bang. ”
The cavalry commander respectfully saluted the horse, which was a ritual derived from the earliest warbands of the Alliance, and it was executed sonorously and powerfully.
"Bang. ”
Returning the salute, his eyes scanned around again before he slowly spoke.
"The enemy is something we have never seen, even if it is an enemy who is not armored, it can be ten with one. ”
What he stated was the truth, and it was information that all the soldiers and commanders knew.
Although the enemy is only five thousand, how powerful they are can be seen from the performance of those hateful thieves and thieves.
"They want to attack the city, if Xiliang City falls, what will happen to the clansmen?"
Horse Chase glanced at these chiefs, his eyes were quite serious: "Slaves, they will be reduced to slaves, wives and children, old and young, all slaves, sold in batches. ”
The emotions of the Iron Cavalry Chiefs were aroused, and they all had status in the clan, with groups of wives and concubines, and countless servants.
These are all rewarded to them by horse, and they will not allow others to take them, let alone others to take them by force.
Because all these things were seized by force.
Looking at their red eyes, he nodded with satisfaction, he didn't say anything more, at this time the morale was already achieved, and if he said more, he would weaken his momentum.
He beat his chest twice with his right hand, and shouted after the horse: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, there is no retreat in battle." ”
The commanders immediately followed and thumped their chests twice, shouting: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, there is no retreat in battle." ”
The cavalry behind also began to shout, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the sound of fighting without retreat spread in the city, and many clansmen and children also shouted.
"Return to the team, this battle is hard, and you will encourage me. ”
Wave their hands from the horses and let them return to their ranks.
"Yes. ”
The officers beat their chests neatly, and then they retreated.
"Manu, come here. ”
Chasei waved his hand and said to Manu who wanted to turn around.
Manu was puzzled, but his face did not show any abnormality, and he just stepped forward in confusion.
Chasing the horse did not say anything to him in front of the team, but only beat the horse and walked into the doorway, and let the warriors in the doorway leave, and then slowly spoke.
"The enemy is strong, and this battle is hard. ”
Chasa said in a deep voice.
He had seen thieves and thieves who had been caught, and had even ended up fighting with them.
Alone, he is no match for him.
These people will use a magical power that can make their bodies bloom with a dark light.
This kind of power is different from the power of totem, it is more condensed than the power of totem, and it can make these people more powerful.
They call it vindictiveness, and the vindictive spirit of self-proclaimed thieves is not good at fighting, and the armored sergeants outside are really good at fighting.
"The subordinates swear to kill the enemy. ”
Manu bowed his hand and immediately said.
He had just seen the others driven away by horses, and he always felt that he had more to say.
"In this battle, if I die, don't fight to the death, return to the city quickly, and wait for the arrival of the alliance army to help Xiliang defend against foreign enemies. ”
The sound of chasing horses was dull, and there was an echo rumbling in this city gate hole.
But at this time, Manu couldn't take care of these echoes, he only felt that his head was hot, and his face was almost out of shape.
Manu looked at Chama, and by his eyes, he could be sure that Chama had not deceived him, but he still couldn't guess how Chama had found out.
Is it just me who has been discovered, or is it everyone?
It can't be everyone, spies are single-line contacts, and even if one is caught, there is no possibility of uprooting.
Thinking of this, Manu's heart was at ease.
"Duke, Manu will swear to protect ......"
Without waiting for Manu to reveal his center, he waved his hand and interrupted, "You don't understand. ”
Manu had a puzzled look on his face.
"You are an alliance person, it is easy to see that you are not the only alliance person in Xiliang City, you are very special, it is not difficult to recognize it. ”
Manu was silent when he said this, and he still couldn't understand how he and the others were exposed.
"Servile. ”
Zhuma didn't hide what he meant: "There is no servility in you, your self-confidence is not something that can be concealed by bowing your head and kneeling, and my eyes are not blind." ”
Manuu was silent for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of chasing the horse.
The education that the members of the alliance have received since childhood is the destiny of me, and the alliance has been popularizing the concept of equality for all.
Although there is still servility, it is still different from the servility cultivated by the complete slavery system of Xiliangcheng.
This is indeed easy to see in the eyes of those who have a heart.
"How long have you been around?"
Manu no longer grovels and is blunt.
"From the first time I saw the ambition in your eyes, I knew it. ”
Zhuma said with a smile: "The ambition of the Xiliang people is full of anger, that is the ambition that can tear themselves apart, and the ambition of your alliance people, with reason, is the ambition to control everything, which is different." ”
Manu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The alliance also advocates blood, but first of all, it is necessary to face everything rationally and rationally, get rid of animal nature, let your head control your body, and not do things with enthusiasm.
Hot-blooded, the league people prefer to use it in ideas.
For example, the witches and chieftains of the past generations were full of enthusiasm for the tribe, but not for ambition.
The League does not oppose the ambitious, but it despises the pure careerists, believing that this selfish ambition is a sabotage of the Alliance.
"Why don't you drive us away?"
Manu asked, confused.
"Why did you want to drive you away?"
Chase the horse and ask rhetorically, which made Manu speechless for a while.
"You didn't hurt Xiliang City, and even contributed your own strength to Xiliang City. ”
Chama touched the head of the horse he was sitting on, and it was a little restless as it moved, probably feeling the murderous aura outside the city gate.
The enemy has set up siege machines under the city gates, and it is not long before they will attack.
"Wells, buildings, and many infrastructure facilities are all thanks to you, and even the system of Xiliang is different from the other three cities, which is all thanks to you. ”
Zhu Ma looked at Manu with a smile and said, "When I was studying in the alliance, I longed for your system, Wu can handle government affairs with peace of mind, and the leader, as a general, can use all his talents in war." ”
The war horse was a little more honest under the pacification of the horse, but the horse's hooves were still trampling on the ground, making a rhythmic clattering sound.
"My talent is on the battlefield, and my political talent is weak, as my teacher said back then. ”
Chama said with a smile.
"Is it a refutation?"
Manu asked.
Zhu Ma nodded, he smiled very happily, and said: "The teacher is Shaowu's personal disciple, I am actually Shaowu's second disciple, but it's a pity that I was not born in the alliance, otherwise I would have to earn the position of marshal." ”
When Manu heard this, he smiled and said, "Then you can't afford Marshal Kai." ”
Chama was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
He has a very bold smile and shows his personal charm the most.
"It's really not exhausting. ”
Said Chase Horse.
Marshal Kai's longevity is well-known in the alliance, and now he is the longest-lived person in the alliance, and he doesn't see his old age, it seems that he can survive the human king of his contemporaries.
"It has been said in the alliance that the duke is the first class among the tribes of people. ”
Manu opened his mouth and praised, but it was heartfelt.
"Knowing people is also the key to administration, I know that there is a saying in the alliance, called governing the country, the first priority is to govern officials. ”
Zhu Ma was not modest, nodded and said: "So the people arranged by your alliance have been reused in Xiliang City." ”
Manu smiled and nodded, and then said solemnly: "The enemy is so strong, why do you still attack?"
"Which is the strongest team in Xiliang City?"
Chase asked the horse.
Manu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Is the duke afraid that he will not have the opportunity to use it in the end?"
Zhuma nodded and said, "Let these people go up to the city wall, it is better to let them kill first, the worst is not good, it can also surprise the enemy, and buy time to wait for the alliance army to arrive." ”
"But if the duke dies on the battlefield, the gain to Xiliang City will outweigh the loss. ”
Manu Road.
"If I die, I can still inspire the armies, and it will be useful for delaying time. ”
Horse Chase Trail.
"The Duke values the enemy so much?"
Manu asked with a frown.
After all, he felt that the enemy was only 5,000, and he would not attach importance to it to such an extent, and he would fight for the strongest, and he would inspire the armies with death.
"It's not that I pay attention to it. ”
Cha Ma sighed, and when he saw Manu looking at him puzzled, he said, "It's the alliance that attaches great importance to it." ”
Manu listened and nodded heavily.
Isn't it that the alliance attaches great importance to it, and the four cities outside the human tribe, only this Xiliang City has been constantly sent to spies, and the other three cities do not have this treatment.
Not only that, let's just say that the Xiliang Iron Horse, isn't it also built with the help of the alliance, and for the sake of it, isn't it also this time.
"In this case, I will obey the Duke's orders. ”
Manu arched his hand and said seriously.
Chama nodded, waved him back to the team, cleaned up his mood, and returned to the team.
A bloody battle is about to begin.
