Chapter 253: Ready to Move
The spring of the Western Continent in 2020 in the Great Chu calendar is earlier than in previous days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Perhaps because the black clouds over the Desert of Death have dispersed, the sun has warmed the maroon Gobi even more.
After the ice and snow melted, many streams and ponds were added to the Gobi out of thin air. The new green weeds grow wildly, and they are full of red and white weeds and flowers.
The meadows are dotted with hares, gophers, wild deer and birds. These small animals seem to have discovered the New World earlier than the Terrans, and entered the Gobi in large numbers.
Immediately after, jackals and jackals also began to follow the food into the Gobi.
Only a few large herbivorous predators, still reserved. After all, this new land is very barren, and it is not enough to satisfy their huge appetite.
The monsters didn't appear for the time being. On the one hand, it is also because of the lack of food, and on the other hand, the Gobi is full of murderous human races. They don't look down on small animals very much, but they are very keen on hunting monsters.
With the arrival of spring, people who have cultivated for a winter, recovered their mental and physical strength, and are also holding back the evil fire in their stomachs have begun to move again.
Skirmishes have begun between hunting squads and border patrol units. I believe that in the near future, a great war will come.
On the Nuwei Peninsula, although the ice and snow have not completely melted in the north, there are already people who can't hold back.
In a camp made of soft brownish sandstone, tens of thousands of white tents are like white lotus flowers blooming all over the Gobi. In one of the largest tents in the tent, the little Timur Khan of the Tutu tribe could no longer suppress his excitement.
The Tu people are a nomadic people in the northwestern grasslands of Chu State, living by chasing water and grass, can ride a horse at the age of three, wield a scimitar and shoot arrows at the age of five, and is known as a people on horseback.
Once upon a time, the Tutu people were also a large race with thousands of tribes and hundreds of millions of people, and they also had the moment of galloping on the mainland.
It's a pity that after the rise of the Three Kingdoms of Chu, Song and Yue in the Qingyun Continent, big cities, small towns, towns, and villages formed a close system. It is constantly squeezing the living space of the Tutu people.
In modern times, nearly half of the Tutu tribes surrendered to the Three Kingdoms, gave up their nomadic life, and became farmers.
The other half of the tribes with the glory of the Khan were exterminated by hundreds of tribes, leaving millions of old and weak soldiers, divided into more than 30 large and small tribes, hiding in the northwestern grasslands. The Timurid tribe was one of them.
The appearance of the western Gobi made Turil feel that the opportunity to revive the tribe had arrived. He persuaded his people to take the lead in migrating to the western Gobi.
When Turil led his 400,000 people to the barren western Gobi, the shaman Khuhandalla grabbed a handful of rubble of brownish sandstone with his black, thin hands like chicken feet. He shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Immortal heaven, this place will become an endless grassland, and this is the blessed land for the re-emergence of our Tu tribe. ”
However, Khuhandara's words were not immediately fulfilled, and soon more and more powerful tribes appeared behind them.
In the end, when the extremely powerful heavy iron cavalry of the Great Chu State drove into the Gobi, the Timurid tribe was like a dead leaf pushed by the big waves, and they involuntarily continued to migrate and migrate to the west.
They crossed the edge of the Crypt Jedi, entered the western part of the Gobi, and then wandered west again like ducks.
Just when they thought they would find a safe haven in the far west, they ran into the northern army of Nihon again.
Migration, war, defeat, flight, hunger, disease, parting and death. The westward journey of the entire Timurid tribe is a magnificent epic of incomparably heavy weight.
By the time the Timurid tribe finally reached the Nuwei Peninsula before winter, the whole tribe had already lost more than half.
Almost all the elderly over the age of 50, more than 70% of the women and children in the tribe, were separated or died in the flight. In addition to the horses, the livestock were basically lost.
The Tutu warriors, on the other hand, suffered relatively little damage, and their superb riding skills always ensured that they could escape from the slow infantry most of the time.
In fact, when they entered the Nuwei Peninsula, the whole clan had been without food for two days. Even many clansmen want to kill war horses to satisfy their hunger. The hundreds of people who were the leaders of these people were forcibly killed by Turiel, and the precious war horses were saved.
As it turned out, Turrier's insistence was correct. Under the cover of heavy snow, they bypassed seven or eight major forces in the western part of the Nuwei Peninsula and raided a town of about 100,000 people near Pubei Port on a snowy night.
Because of the winter break, the town from the north had completely abandoned its vigilance and was slaughtered by a horde of red-eyed Tutu warriors driven by hunger.
Except for the few women who were left behind, and the discarded corpses of the unpalatable old men, the men and children of the entire town were killed, salted and refrigerated as two-legged sheep. The precious grain and grass have become the food for the war horses.
Relying on this batch of food, which was still abundant, the Timurid tribe finally survived the harsh winter and recovered.
After a winter's rearing, the horses that had lost their fat were fat and strong, the scimitars had been sharpened, the arrow feathers had been trimmed, and the young warriors were screaming to go on the march.
Turrier, of course, will not refuse to fight. It's just that as the little khan of the Horde, he must carefully consider the direction of the attack.
The town where the Timurid tribe was located, at the northwestern tip of the Nuwei Peninsula, had five neighboring forces.
One of them was a camp of wanderers organized by a rout of about 100,000 soldiers. These remnants have long lost their sense of honor, cruel, cunning, vile and cowardly, but most of all, they are poor.
These wanderers scatter as soon as they do, and gather again and again, like flies, which have no other value than annoyance. Turrier, who had eaten two-legged sheep for the winter, no longer wanted to take care of these tough and smelly creatures.
The other two forces have three or four hundred thousand people, which are very difficult to gnaw, and Turil is not sure of victory.
The remaining two forces belong to the Thirty-Six Pirates. One of them is the Gangong tribe, with about 150,000 people, and the other is the Xilai tribe, which has only 50,000 people.
Speaking of the Xilai tribe, it can be said that it is a wonderful flower of the current western forces. Since climbing the Western Continent, he has guarded his own one-third of an acre of land, and has never taken the initiative to attack like a turtle with a shrunken head.
Even so, it was easily defeated by Nihongguo and Punan Port, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded. Unexpectedly, the Xilai clan simply played hooligans and sent their only real person to Pubei Port. It's a complete break in the rules.
Mortals are not allowed to participate in battles, but real people are not allowed to participate. This is basically continental general knowledge. The cowardly Xilai tribe actually used the excuse that they never wanted to participate in the war, and Pubeigang was the home of real people, so it was not a violation.
This excuse simply left Turil speechless. But the deterrence of real people is not covered.
With such a shameless real person in charge, not only did no one dare to attack Pubei Port, but even several surrounding forces shrank back, for fear that they would accidentally hurt the real person's property.
The power of the town that was destroyed by the Timurid tribe because it was too lax was also because it had been peaceful for too long.
But a real person is a real person, and Turil has not yet dared to provoke such a terrifying existence.
After hesitating for a long time, Turil finally set his sights on the Gangong pirates. As we all know, pirates can pounce twice in the sea, and when they go ashore, their combat power is halved and they are soft-footed crabs.
According to Tulil's estimate of 150,000 pirates, the Gangong tribe only needs 50,000 Tutu warriors to win easily.
The only thing to worry about is that the Gangong clan still has 400,000 soldiers in the old nest of the West Sea, and there will be another war in the future.
Turil decided to send 100,000 warriors to scare the Gangong tribe at one time, so that they would not dare to come and die again.
The plan was about to be decided, the silver tent guards came in to report, and the envoys of the Gangong tribe came to visit, and they also brought hundreds of carts of heavy grain and grass.
Half a day later, they sent away the envoys of the Gangong tribe, who were frightened by the two-legged mutton cured meat hanging everywhere in the camp. Turil ordered the shaman Khuhandalla and twenty captains to be summoned and announced that he had decided to attack the Silai.
The big tent immediately became a pot of porridge.
Nuhaqi Wanfu said in a loud voice: "Khan, there are real people in Pubei Port of the Xilai tribe, and they can't be beaten." ”
Captain Lichimi also chimed in: "Yes, the Khan should not let us go easily just because the Gangong clan gave us gifts. The more they do this, the more it shows that they are cowardly, and we should fight the Gong. ”
More than a dozen commanders were noisy and shouting, all in favor of fighting the Gangong tribe.
Tuliel smiled silently, and when everyone stopped talking, he said loudly this time:
"Brothers, winter has passed, the old wolf is a year old, but the eagle can fly. I got the news that the Gangong clan had replenished 100,000 elites three days ago, and the real people in Pubei Port had already left. ”
"I have also heard that the Gangong tribe has reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Yami tribe and the Xilai tribe among the 36 tribes, and if we attack the Gangong tribe, we will face not 150,000 enemies, but 600,000. ”
"Though the eagles of our steppe have never been afraid of the great flocks of sheep. But the sheep is too fat, and the eagle is going to catch the lamb. ”
"There is no real person in Pubei Port, they are the weakest lambs, don't we the eagles on the grassland go to catch it?" )
