"Chapter 20: The Battle of Doerkan"

Since ancient times, nomads all over the world have the habit of rushing pasture, and in good years, pastures are divided into winter and summer, but if it is a disaster year, basically from winter onwards, at least three pastures must be rushed. In the original time and space of about 2,000 years, some Western scholars have studied this and found that the behavior of Eurasian herders to graze pastures has a great impact on the expansion of the Silk Road.

Dolkan is one of the most famous wetlands in this savannah, with abundant water and a large freshwater lake. The lake is rich in fish resources, attracting a large number of birds to come to feed. Therefore, the surrounding pastures grow vigorously, and it is a rare and excellent pasture.

The palace tent of the Great Khan of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe had begun to move from its original location twelve days ago, and along the way, private people from the surrounding small tribes and tribal nobles kept joining, making the entire grassland rush team bigger and bigger. Now it has become a large army of more than 100,000 people, carrying millions of cattle and sheep and more than 100,000 horses, slowly coming towards Duoerkan.

Wen Jiming flew over the entire huge team, holding his tall priest's scepter in his hand, admiring the spectacular scenery, as if he was watching a Hollywood costume blockbuster.

And our elf lady Lola is flying next to Wen Jiming, while watching the scenery, while constantly chewing melon seeds, the skin of melon seeds flies out of that tender red mouth from time to time, floats down, and then falls on the head of an unlucky herdsman, or a passing cow and sheep. The background below makes Wen Jiming feel a little incongruous.

Lola saw Wen Jiming looking at her, a little misunderstood, stretched out her white and tender little hand, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and handed it to Wen Jiming, Wen Jiming took a deep breath, shook his head, and then flew towards the sweaty chariot below. And after Lola saw Wen Jiming flying down, she put the melon seeds in her little hand into the small bag hanging on her chest, and flew down.

The chariot of the Great Khan of the Celestial Wolf Tribe was a huge ox cart pulled by eight large yaks, and there was a two-meter-high steppe warrior on the left and right of the driver, and the Great Khan and the old shaman were sitting in the back of the ox cart, chatting on the seats under the huge umbrella cover. Wen Jiming landed directly on the chariot and walked to sit next to the old man, and Lola followed closely and flew in.

The Great Khan didn't care at all about such a somewhat rude move, no matter what, the golden sign of the descendants of the gods is still very useful in the Saturn continent. At this moment, a grassland professional who was obviously a hunter quickly ran from the front of the brigade to the front of the Great Khan chariot to report: "Great Khan, my falcon has found that thirty miles ahead, two big tribes are fighting, and it is not clear who the two sides are. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a falcon about the size of Lola hula landed on the hunter's shoulder, tilted his head to look at Lola, and then spread one of his wings and began to comb his feathers. Then the Great Khan's command was heard.

"Order the whole army to halt its advance, and the tribes gather all their cattle, sheep, and horses, and call the leaders to come here for a meeting."

Soon two more hunters came back from the front to report, and the people on the chariot finally learned about the warring tribes ahead. At this time, all the leaders had already come to the chariot, and then the Great Khan of the Celestial Wolf Tribe, who was experienced in war, gave an order.

'All the tribes with less than 3,000 people will cooperate with the 3,000 palace tent army to stay in the camp, and the other tribes will fight with me, and they will meet the two warring tribes in front. ”

--------------------------------------------------------

Soon, dozens of giant horns sounded at the same time, and in the loud sound of horns, 48,000 cavalry of the Heavenly Wolf tribe drove into the battlefield and lined up two thousand meters from the warring tribes.

The entire Celestial Wolf tribe is lined up in three columns, the first row of battle arrays are all light cavalry equipped with bows and scimitars, the second row is all medium-sized cavalry wearing leather armor and holding spears, and the last row is divided into two teams on the left and right, on the left is the palace tent army composed of the children of the nobles of various tribes, all wearing metal armor, heavy cavalry with different decorations, equipped with riding bows and war hammers. On the right is the Great Khan's Slave Guard, dressed in uniform metal chain mail, armed with a five-meter mounted spear, just like the predecessor of the famous Mamluk cavalry of the Middle Ages on Earth.

Wen Jiming looked at it and found that all of them did not have saddles and stirrups. I don't know if it wasn't invented, or if it was not used by herdsmen. It is estimated that the front is more likely. Then the horse kung fu of these slave guards must be very remarkable, you must know that the five-meter riding spear can only be pierced with both hands and backhand without stirrups, otherwise any other posture may be knocked off the horse by the force of the rebound. This requires the rider to have a high level of horseback riding skills and the kung fu of riding a spear on a horse.

At the same time, both sides of the battle in front of them restrained their armies from stopping, restarting their positions and starting to face the new enemy at the same time. The Sky Wolf Tribe, which was not afraid of a sneak attack, launched an attack on both tribes at the same time at this time!

No way! Do you think you're too good or what's wrong? If you don't sneak attack, you can attack two enemies at the same time. How do you look at the two opposite sides combined, there are more than 60,000 cavalry. Wen Jiming felt a little incomprehensible. But he soon got the answer.

The first batch of archers of the Sirius tribe are obviously much more powerful than the long-range cavalry of the two tribes on the opposite side, almost all of them are arrows, and the three parties are constantly shooting while riding in circles, but the archers of the two tribes on the opposite side are constantly falling from their horses, while the archers of the Sirius tribe are not very few of them have fallen off their horses, and the gap is too big.

With another wave of the Great Khan's whip and the sound of the bull's horn, the melee cavalry of the Sirius tribe began to charge. First of all, more than a dozen battle regiments of medium-sized cavalry launched a charge in a dense triangular pyramidal charging formation, this formation would definitely be a loss against the dense infantry formation, but it was undoubtedly a sharp blade against the loose cavalry formation on the opposite side.

Not long after the medium cavalry rushed out, the Mamluks of the Great Khan began to move, first trotting slowly to maintain their strength, and when they were still four hundred meters away from the opponent, they began to accelerate, and began to charge in a line formation of the cavalry wall.

Then the palace tent army followed closely behind the Mamluks and began to attack. They rushed directly at the melee cavalry, who had not yet begun to engage on the opposing flanks, and began to shoot at them, while the first attacking archers left the battlefield at the same time, circling the flanks and rears of the two opposite tribes, apparently to outflank. Wen Jiming is addicted! It's too knowledgeable, no wonder the powerful nomadic cavalry in the history of the earth is very difficult to deal with, this kind of cavalry quality that spontaneously attacks without any orders is really not covered!

Under the serial offensive of the Sky Wolf Tribe, the troops on the opposite side did not have any strength to resist at all, and it didn't take long for them to collapse from the front, and then led the entire formation to collapse, and they were forced to have no choice but to raise the banner of armistice and admit defeat. Everyone is just fighting for the pasture, not a war of conquest, so after the winners and losers are divided, the losers all leave the pasture. Subsequently, the Sky Wolf Tribe successfully occupied the excellent natural pasture of Duoerkan.
