【011】 Crushing victory
Three days later, on the same night, five shops in the city were baptized in blood, and all the merchants behind the shops were killed, leaving a bloody letter of "blood for blood". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yelutgu stood respectfully in front of Li Ling, he knew that since he gave in under the torture of the other party and signed the magical master-servant contract, his life and death were no longer up to anyone, and he was in the hands of his master.
"How's the plan going?" Li Ling asked Yelu Tegu solemnly.
"The hosts! The minions have already contacted three tribes, all of which are the tribes where the minions were born, and they can basically be trusted, adding up to about eight hundred tribesmen, and can make up more than two hundred warriors. and my men, three hundred. They have agreed to the master's conditions and are willing to take refuge in the master. Jeruthgu replied respectfully.
Li Ling was not surprised by this. In these small tribes, if you have milk, you are a mother. Li Ling is willing to provide food to survive, and the other party is naturally willing to work hard. No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than fighting wolves and wild bears in the ice and snow with a hungry stomach?
Li Ling nodded, with the big killer of the contract, he is not afraid of the problem of loyalty, as long as he asks the leader to sign the contract after subduing the other party, and then let the people at the bottom live a better life, Li Ling will be able to make the other party die for his life.
The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. In the final analysis, it's just a matter of profit.
"Which tribe are you going to do it against, do you have a goal?"
"The minions are going to make a move against the Ragu tribe this time, this is the largest tribe in the surrounding area, with 1,300 tribes and more than 400 warriors in the clan. But as long as the Rabone tribe is defeated, the surrounding two dozen or so small tribes will surrender, and they will not have to conquer one by one. In this way, the master was able to obtain nearly 10,000 Jurchen tribesmen and more than 3,000 warriors within half a month, and the great cause could be expected. Jerutecu said respectfully.
Li Ling nodded, knowing that this time was crucial.
The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August. In the Far East's Outer Northeast, snow begins in July. It's June, and in another month, the snow will fall, so now the merchants in Yingzhou City are leaving one by one, and the various Jurchen tribes are taking advantage of the last time to collect food.
The Ragu tribe is two hundred miles away from Yingzhou City, if Li Ling can fight quickly, he will expand his strength to 10,000 troops and 3,000 soldiers within half a month.
Then, in the remaining half a month, Li Ling will be able to sweep through the Jurchen tribes near Yingzhou City, gathering at least more than 50,000 Jurchens and more than 30,000 people from other tribes.
At that time, Yingzhou City would become Li Ling's bag, and the two thousand defenders would not be worried at all.
And in the long winter, for up to eight months, the communication here will be cut off by God to ensure that the rumors will not be leaked, so that Li Ling can better accumulate strength and carry out the next plan.
Therefore, as the first battle, this battle is not allowed to be defeated.
"Three hundred against four hundred, how sure are you that you can defeat the Rabone tribe?" Li Ling asked in a deep voice.
"Slaves are 100% sure that they can win, and they can easily win! Although the entire Ragu tribe has four hundred warriors, they don't have enough weapons, and they can't even do one iron fork per person. There were less than a hundred bows and arrows, only a dozen pairs of leather armor, and no more than thirty cavalry. And we have a hundred pairs of invulnerable steel armor given by our master, at least one stainless steel weapon, at least one pair of bows and crossbows, plus 57 horses, and our strength is far superior to that of the other party. What's more, the owner also prepared ten barrels of demonic gas (super anti-wolf spray). Jeruthgu said confidently.
Especially the demonic energy he named, after trying it himself, he was full of confidence in this magical weapon.
The next day, Li Ling and Li Shishi left Yingzhou City under the protection of more than a dozen knights, and went with Yelutgu to gather more than 300 soldiers and prepare to conquer the Ragu tribe.
The Ragu tribe is located in a small valley with a river beyond the valley, which is a tributary of the Tongtong River, and the tribe lives on herding, fishing, hunting, and sands.
The mouth of the valley is wide, so the protective measure is only a row of wooden fences to protect against wild animals.
On a nearby mountain, Li Ling used a telescope to observe the Ragu tribe, and found that most of them were women and the old and weak, less than 500 people, but there were about 200 people at the river five or six miles away, so he looked at Yelutgu suspiciously.
It was not the first time that Yelutgu had used this magical equipment, and he was equally skilled in completing the investigation, explaining: "Master, all the prime people of the Ragu tribe have gone to collect food, and now is a good time to start. After we occupy the valley, we can defeat the Rabone tribe more easily. ”
Li Ling nodded and said, "Then you can start, I look forward to your performance." ”
Watching Yelut Gu leave, Master Li held Li Ling's hand, and could feel his nervousness, so he comforted: "Childe, don't worry, we will win, the gap between the weapons of the two sides is not something that can be filled by numbers." ”
Li Ling smiled bitterly: "I don't know anything about commanding wars, because I don't know, so I'm worried, and I feel that everything is out of my control." I really don't know how the protagonists in those time-traveling novels managed to win all battles, and they were all a terrible mess. I feel that I can only rely on the technological advantages of the Overworld to be a logistics director and transportation captain at most, and I still have to rely on the people here to fight. In case of a Tofei person, it is likely that the previous efforts and hard work will be in vain. ”
"Alas! The slave doesn't know anything about the military, so he can't help the son! Master Li also sighed.
As Li Ling said, what he is worried about is not a victory or defeat, but this state of resigned to fate, and the unknown is frightening.
When he made the plan, he still thought very well, and when he actually operated it, he found that he was completely blind and could not perfectly execute his plan.
Yelutgu's mood was very relaxed, he had been in the army of the Liao State for several years, and he knew the importance of equipment. Now let's not talk about others, just say that a hundred cavalry in steel armor can easily defeat ten times the enemy.
However, the lion fights the rabbit, and it still needs to go all out, Yelutgu asked the infantry to follow in two teams on the left and right, and fifty cavalrymen in iron armor directly charged, and the two-mile road passed in an instant.
When the people of the Ragu tribe found the cavalry of Yelutgu and the others, they had already charged within three hundred meters.
Before the wooden fence could be closed, Yelutgu and his men had already pulled out the compound bow that Li Ling had bought.
"Woohoo!"
Several women, who were pushing the gate of the wooden fence, were shot with arrows and fell to the ground, and the cavalry rushed in, and shouts of killing were heard in the valley.
By the time the infantry was late, the battle was already over, and the men inside did not dare to put up much resistance in the face of the steel-armored cavalry.
Leaving fifty men to guard the captives, Yelutgu led his men directly to the river, a few miles away, targeting the two hundred or so young women and tribal warriors who were fishing there.
The battle ended again at a speed unexpected by Li Ling, and when Yelutgu surrounded him with his men in full armor and negotiated with the other party for a while, the other party surrendered directly.
Only a few who refused to surrender were shot with crossbows, and the rest were honestly tied up and driven back into the valley.
It was not until the evening that the last 500 men returned with thousands of cattle and sheep or carrying all kinds of prey, and they were met not by their welcoming kindred, but by 300 soldiers who had been waiting in formation for a long time.
This time, Jerutecu failed to negotiate with the other party.
Nearly 400 men followed a big man who looked like a leader on a horse, lined up to confront Yelutgu, and then took the lead in shouting excitedly to attack.
Yelutgu swung his sword and struck his horse forward, and fifty cavalrymen opened their bows and shot arrows, meeting the contemptuous gaze of each other, and the feathered arrows slashed a distance of two hundred paces, nailing a dozen warriors of the Razorbone tribe to the ground in the disbelief of the other party.
After three waves of arrows, the distance between the two sides was reduced to within sixty paces, and the archers of the Ragu tribe shot their own feathered arrows, because their earthen bows only had this range.
Fifty steel shields with a diameter of one meter were lifted by the cavalry, and they looked like large cauldron lids.
The knights held shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and then with horsepower and condescending superiority, the heads of warriors rose into the sky. Cavalry vs. infantry, in the era of cold weapons, was mostly slaughter.
The patriarch of the Rabone tribe charged up with a saber and headed straight for his fellow leader, Yelutgu, hoping to alleviate his decline by killing the other commander. Although he didn't even know a word, he also knew the truth that the thief captured the king first.
The two long knives fought, and with the help of the power of the two horses, Yelutgu directly used the treasure knife in his hand that was rewarded by Li Ling's master to cut off the pig iron piece in the opponent's hand.
A face full of anger flew up, and blood splashed on Yelutgu's face, but he killed the next enemy without reacting.
A back and forth charge, coupled with the spear formation of the infantry, the warriors of the Raz Bone tribe who were killed surrendered directly. There were more than 100 casualties, and only two dead and seven wounded were inflicted on Yelutgu's men, and the results were extremely brilliant.
