1791 The Ambition of Central Belgium (III)

The carriage crossed a slope in front, and a larger camp appeared in front of it, and after a trombone sound that resounded through the sky, a long black line appeared in front, black armor like a black cloud, and the battle flag stood solemnly in the blue sky, and a camp that was even larger than the front appeared in front of Xu Dongli,

After just one glance, Xu Dongli felt dazzled,

The number of dense barracks tents is innumerable, a group of cavalry lined up on the periphery of the barracks, in front of the camp stood hundreds of targets painted with round red hearts, a group of black-armored cavalry galloping in front of the target held a compound bow in their hands, and a white line crossed a graceful arc towards the arrow target, "pop papa" The arrow cluster instantly shot the target position into a hornet's nest, after a team of cavalry, another team of cavalry quickly connected, like a huge circle, one team after another, the arrow cluster was like a swarm of locusts rising from the horizon, connecting and falling towards the target position,

Xu Dongli and Gongsun Liang looked at the cluster of arrows shot from the hands of the running cavalry, and shot intensively at the target a hundred meters away, and saw that their jaws were about to fall, and Gongsun Liang, who was sitting next to him, had already shouted out in horror, "Mounted archery! It's the cavalry shooting of the grassland people!"

"That's right, the most terrible wheel of the steppe cavalry!"

Xu Dongli's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and ten whitish fingers pierced into the flesh, bringing a burst of heart-piercing pain, the pupils of his eyes narrowed to a point, and his face was also how ugly and ugly it was, and the scene in front of him caused the most terrible memory in his mind,

It was July last year, the remnant sun was like blood leaving the grassland, cloudless, the green grass moved with the wind, full of tranquility and peace, Xu Dongli picked up a handful of water by a small river, countless Central Belian soldiers were setting up camp nearby, Xu Dongli entered the grassland with the third army of the empire as an imperial caster, and had been wandering the grassland people for seven days. If no more steppe troops can be found, the army will rush back to its original starting point,

Looking at the beautiful grassland, the atmosphere of the barracks seems very relaxed, everyone thinks that the grass will not come, and the grassland will become very bad at night, not only will there be a storm like a dragon tearing, but also a hungry wolf pack, these wolves are very bold. is not afraid of people, a pair of green eyes, people are frightened when they see it, they are generally not crazy, and they will not choose to sneak attack at night, because the howl of the wolves is enough to make the sneak attack fall short

At this moment, the steppe people came, like a long black line with billowing dust,

"Quick. Prepare for battle! If you don't want to be shot into a hornet's nest, hurry up!"

The infantry captains, who had just drunk and ordered the soldiers to carry supplies, shouted as if they were crazy, drew their swords and rudely drove the soldiers away, quiet and peaceful. Dispersed in an instant by the sound of the war horn, the soldiers rushed to push the wagons and picked up their weapons from the camp's weapon racks, and the soldiers ran back and forth. The wagons transporting supplies were pushed out of the perimeter, and a defensive line of carriages was constructed, and the wheel doors were attached to the baffles. The Chinese and Belgian infantry intensively stood up the spears in their hands behind the truck, panting nervously, and countless infantry bowstrings were also pulled at this moment, "creaking" like a taut thin line being stretched unlimitedly, no one knows when, this infinitely taut line will be broken, and everyone's nerves are at once to the extreme,

Xu Dongli gasped for breath, the sound like a broken bellows sounded unpleasant, and there was a hot stinging pain in his lungs, but Xu Dongli still felt lucky, and ran back from the river three hundred meters away in one breath, which was a fatal job for a senior caster who was not in good shape, not to mention the front team of cavalry of the grassland people, chasing behind like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, and the arrows with the sound of the wind whistling past his face, if it weren't for the outstanding body of the healthy servant, the last twenty meters, almost carrying the detached Xu Dongli running desperately, Xu Dongli was like more than a hundred unlucky eggs who did not run back at this moment, was killed one by one by the sharp arrows of the steppe people outside the military formation, "Okay, young master, we escaped back!" The servant pulled him behind a carriage, followed by the Biya army, there were 40,000 people, the army was about to start the war, in order to avoid being impacted, the army immediately closed the outer formation, and the opposite galloped is the 17,000-strong steppe left guard cavalry, this is a typical encounter, in the face of the infantry cluster in front of the empire, the steppe people's galloping queue is just like this, the scattered queue after a high eagle roar, suddenly scattered into a circle team,

In the blink of an eye, the dense arrow clusters swooped down like a storm, and the 40,000 imperial infantry corps was suppressed so that it was difficult to even move, and the arrow clusters roared together, and the power simply changed the color of the heavens and the earth, Xu Dongli thought he was bold, and he was also frightened and shrunk behind a carriage, and his ears were full of the sound of arrows hitting the carriage baffle, like a rainstorm hitting the dry ground, and the sound of puff and puff was like hitting his heart, and the soldiers' miserable howls were endless

The healthy servant who saved his life was just bold and curious to take a look, and as soon as he showed half of his head, he was shot through the eye socket by a cluster of arrows that flew out, and the arrow ran out from the back of the servant's head, half of his head was cut off, and the red-white brain was like an overturned wine glass, all of which splashed onto Xu Dongli's frightened and pale face at once, Xu Dongli watched in disbelief as the servant's corpse fell heavily, and in just a few seconds, countless arrows fell on the corpse, and blood shot out, and it was impossible to see that it was still a complete person,

The soldiers fell in pieces under the dense rain of arrows, the baffle of the chariot was shot by layers of arrows as if it was about to fall apart, the encounter lasted for half an hour, maybe the steppe people found that they could not expand the results of the battle, only like the wolves who did not eat the fat lamb were unwilling to drop the soulless and depressed Zhongbiya infantry who had been hit, extremely arrogant like a whistling grassland wind away, the roaring sound of horses' hooves gradually rose far away, and Xu Dongli, who was full of tears, dared to raise his head,

The terrible scene of arrows all over the ground in front of him gave Xu Dongli a shock from the inside out, just like white snow covering the earth, that was the tail feathers of the tail of the arrow cluster, and that encounter was reported as a great victory! Although Xu Dongli didn't see where the great victory was at all! Was it just because he was not annihilated? The army of 40,000 people fell half in the encounter, if it weren't for the invulnerability of the tight chariot formation, and the stubborn counterattack of the Zhongbian archers, the steppe cavalry would not have retreated so lightly, and the steppe cavalry without arrows drew a scimitar in close combat is also the most powerful assault cavalry, if the steppe cavalry just now sent out a cluster attack, no one dared to say how many people would survive

With a battle loss of only 4,000 people, he repelled tens of thousands of cavalry of the left guard of the steppe. This is where the great victory was reported, in addition to the battle damage of 4,000 people, the general who led the team decisively concealed the fact that there were 13,000 wounded soldiers, because there were more soldiers, and they did not even see the enemy's face clearly, so they stayed on that land forever, and the infection of arrow wounds, so that the 13,000 wounded soldiers returned alive There were only less than 5,000 people, this is the rotation of the steppe people, in just half an hour. With a 1:4 inferior force, it hit the Central Biya people hard, and also made Xu Dongli, who went to the battlefield for the first time, see the horror of the steppe people

It is said that in the largest royal court of the steppe people, there are as many as 200,000 cavalry troops who are good at round-shooting, and no one dares to believe that if it were not for the accidental death of the king of Dongting, the three princes of the steppe would have fallen into chaos, and what other force could stop the rotational iron cavalry of the northern steppe people!

"What a Central Biya who has never seen the world!"

The guards of the escort envoy group are like goose geese for the Central Bibians. I rolled my eyes disdainfully, but it was the rotation of the steppe cavalry, is it necessary to be so surprised? The number of cavalry is only about 10,000 people,

The power of the round shot is no more than that. The Falcon Majesty has repeatedly asked the steppe people to improve their rotation training, but the steppe people still stubbornly maintain this simple training method, rotation. Training in the Empire's Super Sniper Longbow Formation, which consists of 50,000 infantry formations, is simply a joke, 150 meters away. The firing of tens of thousands of the Empire's heavy crossbows was enough to turn the steppe assault cavalry, which had not yet drawn its bowstrings, into a cold corpse full of arrows. "Come on, go and tell them, I'm coming!" the fat man stopped his horse and waved his hand to the guards behind him, his eyes swept over the cloudy army in front of him,

The camp of the steppe people occupies one-third, the rest is the battle flag of the Salon Army and the battle flag of the Central Army, the steppe colored flags representing all ethnic groups flutter in the wind around the camp, the steppe people are natural warriors, the camp can see the clanging sound of craftsmen, countless tents are like a piece of white covering the vast plain in front of the southwest capital, and the large army camp tent is around the plain, The same number of circles spread out in all directions, this time the Xiting Grassland sent 50,000 troops, as the first imperial army to receive the order to attack, the speed of arrival was also the fastest, "woo woo"

The rapid horn waved in the sky, a group of patriarchs of various ethnic groups wearing the costumes of the steppe people appeared at the gate of the camp, and saw the fat man in front of the black-armored cavalry coming from afar, and knelt down with joy on their faces, and the steppe cavalry who were training in rotation also stopped, like the waves that were split, as the fat man moved forward, countless steppe warriors on both sides also knelt on the ground, and the black pressed a head, and the steppe people showed the most solemn enthusiasm for the arrival of the Khan King, and shouted three times "Long live the Khan King!" The sound of tens of thousands of people gathered shook the heavens and the earth, and the grace sounded: "Get up!"

The fat man rode his horse over, stopped the war horse, and swept his gaze over the grassland patriarch who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed ten meters away, and raised his hand with satisfaction, after his own rectification, Xiting has completely surrendered to the empire, even in Duo Weiyan, who is at the forefront of the patriarch's arrangement, he is also respectful, and he does not dare to cross the slightest place, the momentum of this grassland hero is suppressed by himself, "Your Majesty, the patriarch of the Teli City Department, Teli Rashad, does not seem to be there!" The captain of the guard squadron with the team suddenly whispered in the fat man's ear with a solemn face, "Trila Shad!" The fat man was unexpectedly stunned for a moment, and looked at the grassland patriarchs who stood up again, and sure enough, he didn't see Trirashad, the fat man got off the war horse with some displeasure, and handed the horse whip in his hand to Duo Weiyan at the front of the patriarch queue,

Duo Weiyan's face was excited, the hand holding the horse whip trembled excitedly, and the other patriarchs were envious, sure enough, it was the eldest brother of the Khan King, the Khan King directly handed over his horse whip to Duo Weiyan, which is called "substitute whip" in the grassland, and the horse whip has a special meaning in the grassland.

For the prairie woman, the horsewhip is their most beloved thing, if you see the lover in your heart will throw the horsewhip to him, if the other party picks it up and sends it back, if it means a lot, the steppe woman will raise the horsewhip and whip the steppe man fiercely, if the steppe man is not angry, it means that he accepts the woman's mind, but for the steppe man, the horsewhip represents power! The person who can take the whip can only be the most trusted person of the Khan King, under one person, above ten thousand!

The fat man naturally knew this very well, because Rui Tang Tingna, the princess of the East Court, wanted to get the fat man's horsewhip. was unceremoniously rejected by the fat man, that is, a troublesome woman who dared to open a dyeing workshop for three colors, she could whip her elastic ass fiercely, so that she would always remember her man, and she would never be able to hand it to her soft slender fingers like a lamb, with a whip, this woman absolutely dared to turn the sky!

Duo Weiyan is different, this steppe lord who wants to tie his entire clan to the imperial chariot, even if he takes the horsewhip, at most he will show off in front of the other patriarchs!" "What about Trirashad? Why is there no him" The fat man asked as he walked, "This ......" Duo Weiyan followed behind the fat man. The other patriarchs followed him, this is the power of the whip, he glanced at the fat man, and then said, "This guy Trirashad is getting more and more disagreeable, now he is not in the camp, but has gone to the city, I heard that Messi Jielin not only dances well, but also looks peerless and beautiful, so this guy is clamoring to go to the show with his own people!" "Performance? Isn't the show just starting tonight? What kind of show is he going to see in broad daylight!" The fat man snorted very displeased. Since you said that he went with his own people. How many people are there?" "Seven patriarchs who have joined him, and a hundred and twenty guards!"

Duo Weiyan looked stern, in fact, he was about to laugh in his heart, the Teli City clan was rising in the northern part of the Western Grassland. It has already posed a threat to the Duowei Ministry, and last winter, the Teli City clan even had plans to rob their own grassland, at the marriage ceremony. Duo Weiyan was ready to attack this daring guy, ready to use the power of the empire to wipe out this potential threat in one fell swoop, but no one expected it. The fat man was not interested in punishing the Teli City Clan, but only lightly punished the three thousand livestock of the Teli City Clan, "One hundred and twenty guards! He also dared to enter the city, did he not receive my order?" the fat man walked into the camp master tent and asked angrily

After he arrived, he immediately gave an order to the Xiting cavalry troops who arrived in the early stage, the troops were not allowed to camp in the city, the nobles were not allowed to stay overnight in the city, and they were not allowed to bring more than 100 guards into the city, there was no way, the destructive power of the grassland people was obvious to all, and it has always been unhygienic, mixed people and horses, camped in the field to nothing, once entered the city, it was a scourge, the place where it was stationed must be horse manure everywhere, the smell was unbearable, the people and horses drank water in the upstream, everything was thrown into the water, and the downstream suffered, and the grassland people were fond of spirits, and they became drunk and crazy when they got drunk, and there were conflicts between tribes and tribes, and it was common to cut the knife if they didn't agree with each other。 "Teli City Shad is a very proud person, and he has always stood on his own in the northern part of the Western Grassland, and it is not the first time that he has disobeyed the order of the Khan King!" Duo Weiyan hurriedly took the opportunity to vent his bitterness in the military tent, constantly telling how arrogant he was in Teli City, how he wanted to attack his subordinate camps several times, and how he shouted in public to restore the glory of the royal court.

Listening to it, the fat man's eyebrows rose, he knew too well what Duo Weiyan wanted to express, and he couldn't wait to directly say that Teli City Shad was a hidden danger to the empire, and it was best to directly send troops to wipe out the entire Teli City clan, and he typically wanted to borrow a knife to kill people,

At this moment, a guard ran into the camp tent and reported, "Your Majesty, the patriarch of Teli City, Teli City, Shad asks to see!" Duo Weiyan's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Let him come in!" The fat man pretended not to see his eldest brother's face, waved his hand to the guard, and a strong man wearing a grassland robe, like an iron tower, stepped into the military tent, saw the fat man, and quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Great Khan King, your humble servant Teli City Shad greets you!" Please also forgive the fault of Tri City Shad, his subordinates didn't know that the Khan King would arrive today, and he went to the city with curiosity, and before he entered the city gate, he heard the sound of a horn!""Get up, what are you doing in the city?" The fat man nodded, this strong man was Teli City Shad, his brain was about to hit the ground, and his whole body was covered with dust, obviously he heard the sound of the horn to welcome the Khan King and hurried back, "The little one is going to buy supplies! Lord Duo Weiyan said that the salt in the army is running out, so he sent the small one with a horse team to buy salt in the city!" Te Li Shi Shad stood up respectfully, gasped and said, there was no unruly look on his face,

His appearance is a typical wide face, a brain gate, and two steppe people's thick hair buns on his head, giving people the first impression that this is a bold and upright guy, in fact, on the grassland, the nickname of T.S. Shad in Teli City is "Angry Bear"

Not only because of his tall stature, but also because he was also a legendary figure in the northern part of the Western Prairie, who once killed seventy-two horse thieves single-handedly in a fit of rage for a woman.

The horse thieves on the steppe are not comparable to the bandits in the interior, they are all the elite remnants of some defeated tribes,

Carrying the hope of the revival of the tribe, the small group before the new tribal flag was erected, that is, the steppe horse thief, and the small group that could have seventy-two steppe warriors could actually be regarded as the size of a small tribe.

It is precisely because of the fame that the fat man happened to hear Rui Tangtingna mention the legend of this Western Grassland, and even the ruthless Rui Tangtingna said that Te Li City Shade is a rare real hero among the Xiting people, never bullying the weak tribes, even in the face of the Dongting tribe that was once an enemy, they will also receive them kindly, and Rui Tang Tingna's tribe even established a trade route with the Teli City clan.
