Chapter 1 The First Year of the Beginning
In July of the first year.
Sturdy leather boots stepped on the charred soil, raising a faint puff of dust.
Short Leu leather boots like this are worn only by military generals in the army. But these people in front of them were obviously not generals, they were only wearing the ordinary white cloth armor of the Great Zhou army, and they were covered with a fine coat, just like ordinary Great Zhou sergeants.
Tian Feichen stood beside an eagle's beak cliff, which was the highest place in the vicinity, standing on it and looking down, the surrounding scenery was unobstructed.
His head was shiny with the sun, and his young face looked a little immature, and the corners of his mouth had just grown stubble.
Tian Feichen's eyes were very sharp, and he saw a carriage appear at the end of the desert, and there were several guards guarding the carriage on horseback. There were fewer than ten guards, and each of them was wounded.
Behind them, a larger group of cavalry gradually surrounded them. Most of the cavalrymen went into battle shirtless, with their tattoos exposed, and they shouted with scimitars wielding their hands.
The cavalry was obviously very experienced, and they were gradually encircling the carriage in a crescent-shaped formation. From time to time, someone bent their bows and arrows and shot the guards guarding the carriage off their horses.
The two sides are chasing after me, but the carriage is still not as fast as the horse, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
The movement here has been discovered by the Great Zhou sergeant who was lying in ambush behind the eagle's beak cliff.
A young sergeant climbed up, threw Tian Feichen a kettle and asked, "What did you find?" ”
Tian Feichen took the kettle, but did not open it, but pointed to the bottom of the cliff and said: "That group of Northern Wilderness cubs are chasing a carriage, it seems that it should be an unlucky guy who doesn't know the situation here, the Northern Wilderness Army is no different from bandits now." ”
The sergeant glanced at it from afar, and at this moment the carriage was already in danger, there was no shelter on the desert, and the war horses of the sergeant of the Northern Wilderness were almost unimpeded on such flat land.
"It should be a team of hundreds, but it's not like the big tribe of the Northern Wilderness, it should be that unknown small tribe." Tian Feichen muttered.
Under the watchful eyes of the two of them, the guards were killed one after another, and in the end only one remained, covered in blood, in front of the carriage, and did not take half a step back.
"Quite loyal."
Tian Feichen suddenly saw the young sergeant beside him stand up, and said curiously: "Tang Yun, do we want to do it?" ”
The young sergeant pulled out his knife and said with a smile: "It's a pity that this lone team of 100 people won't eat it." ”
……
This is Tang Yun's sixth year in joining the Great Zhou Army.
He is no longer the child he was the same person he used to be, and he has grown a lot in the past six years, and his skin has become bronzed by the sun.
On one side of the cliff, a group of Da Zhou sergeants were resting, and the whole camp was quiet, no one whispered.
Tian Feichen chased after him and said, "The general told us that it was a feint, and the original plan was to attack the nearby Earth Eagle City, and to do it here, if we get away with half of it, I'm afraid we will be detected." ”
"The feint attack is to prepare for the army to attack Fancheng, if we want to make a fuss in Tuying City, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the generals of the Northern Wilderness, they are not all stupid." Tang Yun said lightly.
Tian Feichen's eyes widened: "You want to make a move here?" ”
Tang Yun said: "You can see clearly that those people have tattoos, the eagle's head is downward, and the earth eagle preys, which is a tattoo only owned by the earth eagle tribe." There happened to be no tongue along the way, so I just grabbed one and asked. ”
Tian Feichen gave a thumbs up: "Good guy, I didn't even notice this." No wonder the Great General chose you to be a lieutenant. ”
Tang Yun originally led a regiment of 200 people. However, before entering the desert, the troops were divided, and a brigade commander with a hundred men came from the other direction, and the two sides agreed to meet in a hidden place outside the city of Earth Eagle.
Now there are only a hundred people behind the eagle's beak cliff, that is, the strength of a brigade. Tang Yun is the captain, and Tian Feichen is the brigade commander.
The two greeted their subordinates, and everyone immediately became vigilant. There were few places to hide in this desert, but the eyes of these cavalrymen fell on the carriage, and they didn't even notice Tang Yun and them for a while.
Tang Yun and the others had already mounted their war horses, and after everyone had rushed out of the Eagle's Beak Cliff, the people of the Northern Wilderness discovered Tang Yun and them.
Both sides were cavalry, and the people of the Northern Wilderness did not expect that in this place, there would be a Great Zhou army. They first watched for a while, and when they found out that it was the Great Zhou army, they immediately roared and rushed over.
The people of the Northern Wilderness were mainly nomadic, and they were trained in horsemanship from an early age, and an experienced cavalry of the Northern Wilderness could fight against three Great Zhou armies at the same time on their horses. In the past battlefields, the Northern Wilderness Iron Cavalry has been a major killer.
These people from the Northern Wilderness subconsciously underestimated the enemy, but they didn't know that in front of them was the elite general of the Mobei Protectorate.
Most of the pro-soldiers have been trained by the general since childhood, or are loyal to the general, and are brave and good at fighting, so they will have the opportunity to enter. They are different from ordinary sergeants, and they often enjoy any rewards in the army, and even the generals will give some rewards from time to time.
The most important thing is that as a personal soldier of the general, he is already a confidant. There are also great benefits to promotion after that.
Tang Yun and Tian Feichen rushed to the front, and the two of them carried long knives and went straight to the centurion of the Northern Wilderness.
The two sides suddenly fought together, and at first the people of the Northern Wilderness were able to temporarily gain the upper hand with their bravery, but then they gradually became unable to resist.
Those who can be the general's personal soldiers have long been very familiar with the routines of these Northern Wilderness people. After the people of the Northern Wilderness gradually ran out, these pro-soldiers who had been dodging brazenly attacked and eliminated their opponents one after another.
A skirmish ended quickly, and all but one of the people in the Northern Wilderness died, and more than a dozen people died and several were wounded on Tang Yun's side.
Tang Yun and Tian Feichen gasped and kicked the centurion of the Northern Wilderness to the ground, Tian Feichen scolded: "Keep running, run again!" ”
After speaking, Tian Feichen kicked the centurion a few more times.
The centurion had a deep knife mark on each of his legs, and his tendons had been severed, and even if he were to be let go, he would not be able to go far.
At this moment, his eyes were full of despair.
His life is over, a lame man, and he only has the share of being a slave in the Northern Wilderness tribe. He has no wisdom, only force. The force that is now proud of it has also been abolished.
Tang Yun glanced at him, and then said to Tian Feichen: "You can judge this person." ”
"Don't worry, I'll make him spit out everything." Tian Feichen gestured with a knife in the air and said viciously.
Tang Yun nodded and looked to the side, the people around him were cleaning up the battlefield.
"Gather the bones and bury them according to the old rules." Tang Yun let out a long sigh.
Although the nearby sergeants felt sorry in their hearts, they still buried the dead soldiers according to the rules.
died on the battlefield, but could only be buried in this deserted place. Tang Yun didn't have the conditions to take all the corpses away now, so he had to use this method.
Then, he turned his head and came to the carriage surrounded by the Northern Wilderness Army, pulled out the knife at his waist, and lifted the curtain.
"Ahh Stay back! ”
Suddenly, a woman's scream came from within.
