Chapter Forty-Six: A Great Victory
The fight continued until dawn, and the horse thieves won a great victory.
In the battle, less than 300 Jin cavalry escaped, and none of the 100 Tiefutu who lost their horses escaped, and the elite was lost.
The casualties of the horse thieves are also surprising, especially the horse thieves who attacked the cottage and fought with the golden soldiers, nearly 2,000 people were killed in the battle alone, and almost everyone was injured.
In order to appease the horse thieves, Bai Qi presided over the spoils of war and immediately sent them down.
In addition to the two hundred finest horses assigned to him, Bai Qi took out the gold and jade jewels left by the great master of Huangsha and purchased five hundred war horses from other horse thieves.
In fact, the most valuable of the trophies were the heavy armor and horse armor worn by the officers and the Iron Floating Tu, but for the horse thieves who came and went, these heavy armors were undoubtedly a burden, and Bai Qi took them off at a very cheap price.
In order to appease the black wolf, in addition to supporting him a lot of benefits when distributing the spoils, Bai Qi also secretly gave him half of the more than ten top treasures left by the Huangsha Great Lord, and finally revealed the previous matter.
The space warriors led by Merlin retreated immediately after exterminating the Iron Floating Massacre, this group of people is not weak, and there is Lu Kaishan in charge, and the main force of the horse thieves is entangled with the golden soldiers in the town, although the black wolf and others are eyeing each other, they finally dare not make a move, so they can retreat calmly.
The next day, when the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, Bai Qi heard the system prompt that the challenge task "Eliminate the Cavalry of the Jin Kingdom" had been completed.
This battle didn't seem to be a tough one, compared to the previous challenges. The casualties of the space warriors were relatively light, but in order to cause this battle, Bai Qi could be said to have done his best. Enough work has been done.
Two thousand regular elite cavalry, against six or seven thousand horse thieves, if they fight head-on, one charge can scatter the horse thieves, and then the pursuit and beheading, can definitely win a big victory with very few casualties.
A plate of loose horse thieves, neither command nor will to fight can be compared with regular cavalry.
Because of this. Bai Qicai did everything possible to introduce the cavalry into the stockade and turn the cavalry into infantry.
But even cavalry turned into infantry. Five or six thousand horse thieves did not want to capture a stockade garrisoned by two thousand regular soldiers.
So, Bai Qi not only dug the tunnel in advance, but also destroyed the wall of the stockade in advance, and sent some elites to infiltrate the stockade first. And only then did a surprise attack be launched.
Even so. The golden soldiers still caused one-to-one casualties to the horse thief, not to mention a frontal battle, even if the favorable conditions are slightly insufficient, or the luck is a little worse, today's ending may be rewritten.
The challenge mission is over, but the system does not prompt that you can return immediately, Bai Qi is not surprised by this, although the golden soldiers are destroyed. But the Great Song envoy group is still there, and the main task of choosing the space warriors on the Great Song side has not yet been completed. And those who chose the horse thief camp can also continue to trouble the Great Song envoys.
After the spoils were divided, the high-spirited horse thieves, who had been spurred by a great victory, held a second alliance meeting on the shore of Moon Lake to discuss how to plunder the upcoming Great Song envoys.
Bai Qi didn't say a word about this, thinking about the news that Adrian brought back, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.
Before, Bai Qi didn't take the 500 forbidden troops escorting the Great Song envoys in his eyes, but this morning, when he inquired in detail about the situation in Adrian's Great Song envoys, he overheard Adrian say that the leader of the 500 forbidden troops was named Bi Zaiyu, and he was immediately scared into a cold sweat.
Since Bai Qi named his team Beiwei Jun, it naturally shows that he is a fan of Yue Fei, and he can be said to be a treasure of Yue Fei's generals.
Yue Fei has a general named Bi Jin, who is one of the few people in the Yue family army who died well, this person himself is not brilliant, but he gave birth to a good son, his son is named Bi Zaiyu, this person is the first general in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the first military merit in the Kaixi Northern Expedition.
Although the history in this space is not exactly the same as in reality, the names of some historical celebrities have not changed, if this Bi Zai Yu is really the Bi Zai Yu in real history, then the combat effectiveness of this forbidden army will have to be recalculated.
From Adrian's subsequent description, Bai Qi also basically confirmed his own conjecture.
At first, Adrian, like Bai Qi, did not notice the five hundred forbidden troops, nor did he pay attention to the good-looking young commander.
But the longer she blended into the envoys, the more she felt that this group of forbidden troops was not as unbearable as she thought.
Because of the fear of the interception of the Jin allies Xixia, the envoys did not dare to take the flat Hexi Corridor, and could only take the trail from the mountains in the south.
However, the five hundred forbidden troops have been able to hold on silently, and few people complain that compared to the lightly armed martial arts people, the forbidden soldiers not only wear armor, but also carry light supplies.
This naturally aroused Adrian's idea, and after she carefully observed, she was shocked to find that this group of elite soldiers even surpassed the golden soldiers and iron horses.
Almost everyone in this group of forbidden troops carries heavy crossbows, and there are many masters among them.
The smallest unit of the Song army is a team, four soldiers plus a captain, two soldiers for a tithe, this team of forbidden troops, the chief is a first-class martial artist, the chief has a second-level martial artist, five tithes for a team, the captain is a third-level martial artist, which shows the elite of this forbidden army.
There was also an incident on the march, several martial arts people ate up the dry food, went out to hunt and had no harvest, so they asked the Song army for food, but the Song army had a quota for food, so they naturally did not dare to distribute it to them casually.
These martial arts figures are also big heroes, and they put a few soldiers in their eyes, and they immediately clashed.
At this time, the young commander of the forbidden army was forced to make a move, and he beat the three second-rate masters to the ground in three moves and five styles, and the martial arts that came out were very amazing.
Such an elite infantry army, plus 200 Great Song martial arts people and more than 300 space warriors, if it is facing the 2,000 Jin Army Iron Cavalry, it will definitely not be able to withstand the impact, but if it can grasp the initiative and do not let the cavalry give full play to the charging advantage, it may not be impossible to defeat the 2,000 Iron Cavalry.
It is also natural to imagine carefully, if the Great Song Forbidden Army is really vulnerable, then the space warriors all choose the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, wouldn't it be easy to complete the task?
The idea that this group of horse thieves dared to fight this terrible force was simply looking for death.
In the alliance, Bai Qi was extremely low-key, even if someone asked him for his opinion, he hummed, prevaricated, and watched the black wolf win the title of alliance leader.
At the end of the alliance, all the horse thieves made an appointment, and only waited for the Great Song Dynasty envoys to appear, and then they would meet Moon Lake.
Bai Qi was the first to leave Moon Lake and return to the Black Eagle Ranch. (To be continued......)
