But the more this happened, the more frightened Tuyu felt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe timing of the Chu people's attack was too accurate. If you change yourself, I am afraid that you are far from having the ability to grasp the fighter so accurately.

And that's just the tribe of Aries. What if it's your own single in the main department?

In addition to his anger, Tuyu Hun held a traditional aristocratic gathering in the royal court.

As a rule, such meetings must be attended by a noble shaman. However, the Great Shaman is only a bystander, never participating in discussions, and does not get inflamed at meetings. The nobles of Rongdi are well aware that the Great Shaman has terrifying strength far beyond imagination. That kind of power can only be possessed by the legendary Kunlun god. Here, the great shaman is the spokesperson of the Kunlun god in the world. As for the power of the ruler, it is still in the hands of Da Danyu.

For many years, Rong Di has come over like this. When you are confused and empty and unable to find your way forward, the Great Shaman will make you understand what the goal is. When you need help in life, Da Shan Yu is your best obedient king.

Not every Rongdi nobleman would believe the dangers and rumors from the south. At such times, communication between the shaman and the gods is required. Dozens of slaves were slaughtered, an altar was laid out on the ground with hideous human heads, a cauldron filled with blood, and then a three-month-old calf lamb was thrown into it, mixed with the freshly dug maiden heart to boil. This is the sacred ritual that is essential for sacrificing and communicating with the Kunlun god.

As many as a hundred Jundi shamans began to dance in the open space in front of the king's tent. They wore fearsome human skin masks, and their heads and bodies were painted with inexplicable patterns of color. A dull trumpet sound blew from the horns, and the air was filled with the terrifying smell of blood and death. After more than half an hour, the great shaman finally woke up from prayer flags and contemplation, and whispered in an eerie voice: "Here they are. It was a group of demons that came suddenly. He's sweeping the prairie at some point. It was a terrible battle, a fierce battle to the death. Maybe now, or sometime in the future. ”

This is the oracle from the Kunlun God.

Rathered prophecies are always believed by someone. Moreover, the great shaman's prophecy is also well-founded by facts. After thinking about it, Tuyuhun finally decided: the move in the war phase with the countries of the Western Regions was temporarily suspended. If the crisis from the south cannot be resolved, it will have a direct impact on the overall strategic plan of Rong Di.

That was more than a month ago.

At this moment!

King Youxian rode on a tall war horse, and his mount did not belong to the Hequ horse species, but was a Wusun war horse (West Pole Horse) that was grabbed in the Western Regions. Under the support of the fiery red war horse, and with the distinctive armor dressed all over his body, the Right Sage King looks mighty.

He squinted his eyes at the meadow in the distance, and asked the scout, who knelt down on one knee in front of his horse, "Only three of the scouts sent out?"

"Yes, noble king. ”

King Youxian still didn't retract his gaze, and continued to ask, "Why, haven't you found out how many people there are in the Chu army?"

As he spoke, the eyes of the Right Sage King were gloomy, and the whip that kept flicking made a sound of "pop-pop-" breaking through the air.

One month is enough time for King Youxian to learn a lot of things that he didn't know before.

The Chu army that entered the steppe fought in a strange and special way. They are not large, at most tens of thousands of people. These Chu people supplemented their supplies in the same way as Rong Di, they were all eating the enemy.

It's a very simple four words, but it's full of terrifying horror.

All the Rongdi camps destroyed by the Chu army were in shambles. The cowhide tent was burned and everything that could be used was smashed. The ground was littered with the carcasses of herders and cattle and sheep. There were many sharpened wooden poles standing upright, and there were human heads that were either rotten or dried, but pecked by vultures...... This kind of bleak scene is no stranger to King Youxian. In the past, when he led his troops south, in the states of Chu and Qi, Rong Di actually did the same.

The days of robbery were full of fun. Those Han people did not dare to resist at all. The most impressive time for King Zuo Xian was to capture six beautiful Han women and sleep together in the tent. For women, men actually feel the same way. When the passion is released, all that remains is tiredness, and it is even possible to develop a dislike for women at such a time. At such a time, no matter how beautiful a woman is, it is absolutely impossible to arouse the slightest interest in men. The Right Virtuous King is no exception. After venting his satisfaction on the woman, the only thought in his mind was to sleep well in a leather robe. So, he opened his mouth and rewarded the six women to the guards who were on night duty outside the big tent. I don't know how these rabbit cubs got it, but when they woke up the next morning, six Han women were played to death by the guards.

Later, I found out that it was also because of the vagueness of the orders given by King Youxian himself, that these bastards actually expanded the barbaric game to the entire pro-guard camp. Nima, that's hundreds of people! The soldiers who can be the personal guards of the Right Virtuous King are all warriors with big shoulders and round waists. Pity those women who can't hold up long in the hands of these savages. By the time King Youxian remembered it, he had already died stiffly.

King Youxian didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of thing. The Han people are the cattle and sheep that Rong Di raised in the south. Just like grazing on the grasslands, they can always live well and keep accumulating food and belongings for themselves. The next time in the south, it means that Rong Di has more food supplies. Now, Dadan Yu Tuyuhun is using troops against the western countries, if it is not because he can't spare his hands for the time being, he must also lead a million troops to the south as in previous years, sweeping the entire Youzhou, and it is even possible to break through the Great Wall and directly attack the most prosperous capital of the Chu people.

The dilapidated nomadic camp in front of him made the Right Virtuous King completely put away his reverie of infinite expansion.

Whether or not you can complete the mobile transfer tactical action in the cavalry battle is quite representative and important for a cavalry team, and being able to complete the transfer tactical action in the gallop means that you can replace the tired war horse with a new war horse with full physical strength.

This kind of remark does not seem to have anything to do with the camp destroyed by the Chu army in front of them. However, King Youxian knew that things were far from being as simple as they saw with his own eyes.

For cavalry, speed is life, and a cavalry that loses speed is worse than infantry. The pursuit of mobility is a lifeline for the same cavalry army in the battle, and the fact that one side has speed and the other side does not have speed means not only being caught, but also evolving into the side that loses speed being repeatedly rushed and killed, like a cat playing with a mouse to death.

The Chu people did not have cavalry. Their comprehension and understanding of the word "cavalry" is still stuck in the concept of mounted infantry. That's right, the Chu emperor did have a large number of war horses, and he also spent a lot of money to build a lot of royal stables for raising horses. In any case, it was a tool for domesticating horses, not a tool for defeating the enemy on the battlefield.

The Chu people don't understand what the war on horseback is all about. It was 10,000 years ago, it was 1,000 years ago, it was 100 years ago. As for now...... Things seem to be different.

In fact, Rong Di really didn't adapt to the tactics of the Han army. There is nothing wrong with being a nomad, and there is no mistake with horse control skills, but even Rong Di, who has been with war horses since childhood, not everyone can ride a war horse to fight. In their concept, the war horse is used for transportation, and it still needs to land with both feet before the fight, whether it is to shoot waves of arrows to climb back on the horse and transfer, or it may be to run with the born legs after getting off the horse and fight together, it should definitely not be like the Chu army that rides on horseback whether galloping or fighting.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing is really hard to imagine. But that's what lies ahead. The entire nomadic camp was wiped out by a group of cavalry. The ground was covered with countless horseshoe prints, and King Youxian could rely on these traces to imagine in his mind how the Chu cavalry charged, how they killed, and even how they used lass to tie the horses on the periphery of the camp to open a way for the Chu knights behind.

Incredible, isn't it?

In fact, there is nothing incredible, in the old days when there were no stirrups and matching saddles, only a very few elites could do it if they wanted to ride a war horse to fight the whole way, after all, riding a war horse is a very high speed, and hand-to-hand combat will always stumble.

Imagine a person stumbling over an obstructive object without any point of force when he is moving at high speed on a straddle horse. It was definitely the man on horseback who was pushed off the horse because of the resistance. Therefore, even if the Hu people on the grassland are riding on war horses to fight the whole time, they are still relying on their superior sense of balance to be able to shoot arrows from a distance on horseback, not the kind of hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, what the Han people are afraid of is not Rong Di's cavalry shooting. After all, the range of the horned bow is like that, how can it be compared with the range of the foot bow? If there is really a confrontation between the foot bow and the horn bow, the cavalry holding the horned bow should be subjected to several waves of arrows from the foot bow before they have entered the range of the arrow.

The reason why the Han people can't do anything about the grassland Rong Di is because they have suffered losses that Rong Di has war horses and the Han people don't. Repeatedly, it was clear that Rong Di's traces were found a moment ago, and Rong Di had disappeared when he passed. That is, the so-called coming and going without a trace.

This was the case in the early days. As the Han people paid more attention to horses, the situation gradually became different.

What is the difference between the infantry and the cavalry? In the past, when the infantry was exhausted, the Rongdi cavalry kept a distance from them and did not engage them, and used a series of false temptations or deterrence to intimidate.

The good people didn't care about it, they would be cold, and a few waves of arrows would come, and the cavalry would run away early. If the infantry is always on high alert, people's nerves are tense all the time, and it is extremely easy to get tired. This is also the result that the cavalry wants.

Once the formation of the infantry army is out of order, the infantry army that has lost its formation is a group of fish that have lost their ability to protect themselves, and that is the beginning of the cavalry attack.

Usually the cavalry against the infantry is just a few routines, but those routines are impossible to bypass the infantry army. And once the infantry army is defeated, it is definitely a scene of being caught and slaughtered by the cavalry, on the contrary, even if the cavalry is defeated, it can use the speed of the war horse to quickly pull away and let the infantry army catch up.

The Han Chinese are now ahead of Rong Di in some of the tools of the cavalry. At the same time, the Han people's tactical use of cavalry was also stronger than that of Rong Di. Of course, this statement is somewhat general. To be precise, it was just this mysterious Chu army that gave King Youxian a headache. On the other hand, who let the Chu people have a duke who crossed over from more than 2,000 years later? And that duke still studied the tactics of cavalry. Although not every tactical idea is correct, it is always better than the original state of Rong Di, right?

The Chu people in their memories should know etiquette, be humble and tame. King Youxian raised his head, looked at the hideous-looking and miserable heads of herdsmen inserted on the top of the wooden pole, and subconsciously shook his head, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

No, it's not just about cutting off people's heads to demonstrate.

Around and inside the camp, the remains of herders whose bodies had been dissected were also found. The Right Virtuous King came late, and the corpses of the deceased had already been patronized by wild wolves and vultures on the grasslands. Many of the corpses had long since become unrecognizable, their intestines had been dragged far away, and soft and nutritious things like livers had long since been pecked by vultures. You can even see a baby dragging out of a pregnant woman's belly.

Rong Di is good at killing, so it is naturally easy to see the original state of death from the corpse.

A herdsman's male corpse collapsed on the edge of the camp. Behind him was a two-meter-long intestine. It has turned dark brown, dry and hard and crispy. King Youxian's personal guards have taken a closer look, and this man should have been used by someone to pull out his intestines from the **** part with extremely cruel methods, and then used knives and bows and arrows to force the man to run away by himself. In the end, after only running a dozen meters away, almost all the internal organs were pulled out alive.

There were also a dozen Rongdi women, all stripped naked and tightly tied to a stake. The bulge on the women's chest had been cut off with a knife. There were marks of wolf bites everywhere on his body. This method is very common in Rong Di, which is to tie up the punished person, and then cut a few random knives on the body, make him bleed, fill the air with the smell of blood, and then attract wild wolves.

The key is not whether these Rongdi women are eaten by wild wolves. Rather, these women have not been violated. This is important. The traces of whether they have been raped are very obvious, and those Chu people obviously did not spend their efforts on the Rong Di woman. Everything they do, it's just for revenge.

Thinking of this, King Youxian couldn't help but shudder again.

It's so cruel. Even the most ferocious Rongdi warriors would never kill people by such bloody means. However, those Chu people did not touch the Rongdi women, which means that their purpose in entering the grassland is clear and clear, that is, to fundamentally cut off the roots of the Aries tribe.

Yes, it is the Aries tribe that suffers now. But what will happen in the future? If those Chu people enter the core of the grassland and indiscriminately attack any herdsmen's camp they encounter, what will happen to them?

A shaman dressed in a bright yellow robe, with a dark red robe wrapped around his shoulders, and a strangely shaped hat on his head that resembled the helmet of an ancient Roman soldier, walked over, frowned, bowed to the right virtuous king, and said inexplicably: "Great king, I have searched all around, but I have not found the source of the trouble. ”

The pasture has completely withered.

This is the outskirts of the Cheongwol Sea, where the river meanders from the lake in the distance, nourishing all the land it passes through. This place has been visited by King Youxian before, and it is truly rich in water and grass, quiet and elegant. However, everything in front of me is completely different from the beautiful scene in my memory. The grass has withered and yellowed, and even the cracked earth can be seen. The river has long since stopped flowing, and only a few low-lying places still barely have a little damp silt. However, even this little bit of poor mud has a greasy dark green on the surface. God knows what it was, it emitted a disgusting stench, and the mud was foamy all over the surface, staining the surrounding soil a deep black.

The experienced shaman of the army immediately made a judgment: "This land has been poisoned." ”

The word "poisoning" is used here, which is obviously not appropriate. The shaman can't be blamed for this, he is not a human being from another world after all, and it is impossible to know that there is still the word "pollution" in the world. However, in the shaman's view, the concepts of pollution and poisoning are actually similar. People will die if they are poisoned, and the land will slowly wither like poison, and finally become a dead place that is completely uninhabitable.

There are many ways to poison the land. King Youxian immediately ordered a careful search in the surrounding area, making sure to find the source of the poison. Soon, the Rongdi cavalry found a large number of decomposing herdsmen's corpses in the upper river. There were hundreds of them, apparently driven here and killed on the spot, one by one. The climate is hot, the corpses have long since decomposed, and the flies and mosquitoes have turned this place into the happiest home. In desperation, the Rongdi cavalry had no choice but to light a fire and burn all the stenching corpses.

I thought that this was the end of the matter. But who would have thought that the shaman would come back after going around and saying that he had not found the source of the trouble.

This means that the pasture is completely finished, and it is impossible to return to the habitable state it once was.

King Youxian clenched his right fist, took a deep breath, and asked, "Why is this happening?

The shaman in the robe also frowned, he thought for a long time, but still shook his head dejectedly: "I still hope that the king will atone for his sins, but I really can't understand the reason." (To be continued.) )
