Chapter Ninety-Eight: False Praise
The decoration of the carriage is too bright, whether it is the carving on the outside or the colorful veil on the drape, it is extremely exquisite.
This is very much in line with the aesthetics of the Qianguo people, and on the road of pursuing art and quality of life, the Qianguo people can be said to be unbeatable among the four major countries in the East.
The beautiful thin gold body of the contemporary emperor of Qianguo has become the object of imitation by scholars in Beijing and even the whole country;
This is not simply for the sake of slipping the whiskers or the king of Chu's good waist, because the Qianguo treats the doctor preferentially, so that the literati are not very in awe of their "official family" in many cases, and they will not go to the sake of inviting favor to get the good fortune to defile their own name, so this also means that the contemporary emperor of the Qianguo is indeed a calligrapher.
Just like most of the small red cars in later generations are driven by female drivers, it is very likely that female nobles are also sitting in this carriage.
When the brutes came rushing to see the carriage, they were all excited.
In fact, for them, the death of their comrades-in-arms has long been commonplace, and the prisoner tribe is in the desert, which is the cannon fodder under the control of the big tribe.
Therefore, they do not grieve too much about this, and they also believe that sooner or later they will die in battle, and they will be reunited with their dead companions at the end of the Ganges.
However, robbing women is undoubtedly a grand event for the barbarians of the desert!
The desert barbarians have always had the custom of robbing relatives, which is the same as other people's food is more fragrant than their own food, and other people's wives seem to be more charming.
In the eyes of the barbarians, snatching relatives is a symbol of heroism and majesty, and a guarantee of whether a tribe can prosper.
The fundamental reason is that the living environment of the desert is too harsh, and women in the desert are more like property than people.
There is still a tradition of succession between fathers and sons and brothers in the desert, and the inheritance here is not only the inheritance of the family property, but also the inheritance of one's "mother" and "sister-in-law".
It was difficult for Zheng Fan to understand the elated emotions of the barbarians under his command as if they were during the Chinese New Year, and the reason why he chose to lead the team over was nothing more than to try his luck.
To be able to ride in such a luxurious carriage in the Northland, and there are so many guards, and there are no commercial goods, this must be a noble person who does not need to think about it.
If he can take it down, he will have another hostage on hand.
"Lord, you lead a hundred people to be responsible for pressing the formation, and your subordinates will lead the team to fly kites."
Zheng Fan actually didn't want to be protected as a princess like this,
But he has no other choice, it is also very important to lead a group of people to observe the surroundings, don't be made dumplings by others when you are making others.
At the same time, Zheng Fan also knew that if he led the team to charge, it would basically be like that.
With a wave of the saber,
pose a pendulum,
Shouting "Ula",
Start charging!
Therefore, Zheng Fan could only nod and agree, in this world, there are two kinds of people who have to consciously step aside when they really do things.
One is a person who has no ability, and the other is a leader,
Director Zheng took both of them.
"Oh!!!!!!"
Liang Cheng brandished the long knife in his hand and began to shout.
The surrounding barbarian cavalry brandished their sabers together and responded loudly in response.
This made Zheng Fan feel that Liang Cheng at this time was very different from Liang Cheng who led the troops before, perhaps because the tactics were about to change.
Zheng Fan guessed correctly,
After leaving a hundred horsemen for Zheng Fan, Liang Cheng led more than two hundred horsemen to rush straight down towards the carriage.
The guards on the side of the carriage reacted immediately, this group of guards was obviously not simple, in the face of this sudden cavalry charge, they did not collapse, and quickly began to prepare for combat around the carriage, even if they opened their bows and arrows, there were still people who took off the crossbow from their backs!
This couldn't help but make Liang Cheng re-estimate the distance in his heart, and after the distance between his side and the carriage was shortened to a certain extent, Liang Cheng quickly raised his long knife and waved it around.
"Oo!!!!!oo
More than two hundred barbarian cavalry began to shout, and at the same time quickly diverted, the left turned to the left and the right to the right, and made a big U-turn in front of the carriage.
"Put!"
And at this time, it happened to be the time when the head of the carriage guard gave the order to release the arrows.
It's just that most of the arrows and crossbow arrows in this wave missed, except for a barbarian cavalry who was a little unlucky, and was shot in the leg of the war horse under the crotch and caused it to fall off the horse, basically did not cause any substantial damage to the barbarian cavalry.
After the turn, the barbarian cavalry on the left and right sides quickly stepped forward, swept to the sides where the carriage phalanx was located, and then began to draw their bows and arrows together.
"Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! Airplanes! Airplanes! Airplanes!!!!!!! ”
"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”
One of the guards was hit by an arrow and dismounted, and there was chaos in the escort for a while.
However, when the leader of the guard finally reorganized his men and began to shoot arrows to counterattack, the barbarian cavalry on both sides turned just right to widen the distance, and this was another round of arrows.
The next moment,
The barbarian cavalry swept again, drew their bows and arrows, and many of the guards were again hit by arrows and fell.
This is the most terrifying thing about the barbarian cavalry - horse shooting!
Equestrian skills are better than you, archery skills are better than yours, don't fight hard with you, just like this, the soft knife cuts the flesh, layer after layer, and directly cuts you down!
A hundred years ago, when the barbarian royal court was marching westward, the knight legions of the western countries were quite aggrieved when they faced the cavalry of the barbarian cavalry and the kite flying tactics.
Zheng Fan knew that the reason why Liang Cheng chose to do this was also to reduce the casualties on his side as much as possible.
These guards are indeed good, at least in terms of combat effectiveness and will to fight, they are much higher than those soldiers in Mianzhou City last night.
But no matter how elite you are, you can't shoot the enemy while standing still, but you can't stand being shot by the enemy all the time.
Therefore, after glancing back at the carriage, the leader of the guard left ten men to continue to guard the carriage, and he himself took the rest of the men to ride their horses and take the initiative to kill the barbarians on one side.
However, the barbarians still didn't resist him, and they didn't play any charge duels, seeing that they took the initiative to rush out, the barbarian cavalry began to take the initiative to retreat.
The leader of the guards did not dare to pursue too far, and seeing that the other party could not be recruited, he could only order to slow down his horse and prepare to continue to go back to protect the carriage, however, as soon as the guards were about to turn back, the barbarian cavalry who had run away before turned their horses' heads faster than them and hung them around, and began to shoot arrows at the same time.
For a while, more than a dozen guards were shot and dismounted.
When the leader of the guard let out a roar and was ready to chase after him again, the barbarian cavalry withdrew.
On the high ground in the distance, the barbarian cavalry around Zheng Fan could only keep raising their arms and shouting as cheerleaders because they couldn't get out of the fight, and it could be seen that they were very excited.
Because for them, this kind of housekeeping skill, this kind of drama that can torture and kill opponents with almost no casualties at home has really not been seen for a long time.
Because the opponents are different, in the desert, internally, they are fighting within the tribe, will you ride and shoot others?
Externally, they are facing the Zhenbei Army!
The equipment is better than theirs, the will to fight is better than theirs, the morale is better than theirs, the tactics are better than theirs, and the cavalry archery is not even inferior to them in the slightest,
This fucking is not a battle, it's despair!
Well, now, I finally found the joy of abusing vegetables.
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, sighing in his heart: This routine is really dirty.
The leader of the guards watched as the robes around him fell one by one, but he couldn't even touch the enemy's edge.
Angry, the leader of the guard kept glowing green.
is still a nine-grade master.
Although there was an incident of the Tusi rebellion in the southwest a few years ago, those Tusi who lived in the ravines and ravines had any cavalry tactics in any battles, and it was nothing more than guerrilla warfare.
And since he stopped fighting with the Yan people, the Qianguo side has not tasted the heavy punch of the iron cavalry for a long time.
These guards are the family members of the house, and their quality is naturally very good, but they also have no experience in facing this kind of cavalry and archery battle, so they can only be walked to death like flying kites like this.
As for the Jiupin master, it was even more miserable, after his subordinates were basically shot to death and the war horse under his crotch was also shot to death, he kept roaring like a crazy lone wolf, and was finally shot into a hedgehog by arrows.
From beginning to end, as a nine-rank martial artist, he didn't even hit the enemy with a single sword.
This scene couldn't help but make Zheng Fan think of the end of Lao Mouzi's "Hero", Jet Li was killed by ten thousand arrows.
As for the other side, the barbarian cavalry pounced, this time there were no more arrows, first, there were not a few guards left near the carriage, and secondly, they came to rob relatives, if you shot the bride to death, then you would rob a fart!
The remaining guards failed to cause any trouble to the brutes, and everyone rushed up and directly surrounded them.
Liang Cheng dismounted, turned over into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and probed in.
A girl's sobbing face appeared in front of Liang Cheng, so touching, I felt pity.
"Please, please, don't hurt me............"
The girl cried and pleaded.
Liang Cheng raised his hand,
The girl looked at Liang Cheng with wide eyes,
Seeing that his hand was drawing closer to himself,
The girl took a breath and slowly closed her eyes,
It's like resigned to fate.
"Smack!"
The girl was slapped away by Liang Cheng.
"............" girl.
Without the girl's block,
The noble lady sitting in the carriage showed her true face in front of Liang Cheng,
In ancient times, women gave birth to children early, and their daughters were so old, but this noble lady was only in her thirties.
Liang Cheng's mind immediately appeared with Siniang's demeanor,
Although the woman in front of her is definitely not as graceful as Siniang,
But his own lord seems to have always preferred ladies.
Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the noblewoman.
"Don't hurt my mother, don't hurt my mother, you can do anything to me, but please, don't hurt me............"
The girl got up and hugged Liang Cheng's hand.
And then
"Smack!"
The girl was once again flipped into the carriage, rolled her eyes, and fainted in a deep shock and bewilderment.
Liang Cheng glanced at the girl,
When I was in the Hutou City mansion before, there were so many little ladies, but my lord didn't touch a finger, which proves that my lord is not interested in the little girl and Lori.
Liang Cheng's hand pointed to the noble lady again,
The noble lady grabbed a dagger in her hand and put it beside her neck.
Sharply said:
"I'd rather die than let you tarnish my innocence!"
Liang Cheng was not shocked or flustered at all,
In fact, he is a zombie, and being cold to people is his norm, if it weren't for recovering his strength, he would not even be able to beat Zheng Fan at all.
When the noble lady shows her will to die,
Liang Cheng just pointed to the unconscious girl,
Road:
"You die, in exchange for her being spoiled by these barbarians."
When the noble lady heard this, she was so angry that her hands began to tremble,
looked at his daughter,
I couldn't help but put down the dagger in my hand,
scolded Liang Cheng:
"You are the devil, the shameless devil!"
Liang Cheng nodded,
Road:
"False praise."
