Chapter 142: Yi Shui Jue: Tianshan
As the saying goes, a rout is not as good as a thief, and a rogue soldier is a thief.
No matter how strong the initial combat power is and how well-trained, once defeated, there is only one result.
That is, the defeat is like a mountain.
In addition, mentality actually accounts for a large factor
ββThis is located in the border of the Zisai territory, these Turks are lightly armed and simple, deep into the enemy's territory, there is no follow-up support, they will be dumplings by the border army at any time, coupled with the impact of the cavalry of the 'night does not collect' and other factors, it is an instant collapse.
However, as the saying goes, don't chase after the poor!
Although the pursuit can kill the enemy and destroy the living force, it also carries great risks.
After all, if you block a group of people who just want to escape and "go home" to see their parents, wives and children, won't others fight with you?
I saw that in the 'night not collected', dozens of knights actually came out of the formation, from the flank ready to intercept the Turkic elite cavalry, but just after gradually approaching, those Turkic elite cavalry actually stopped their horses in an instant, rushed down, threw off the nomadic bow, took off the Beiyuan step bow on the body, opened the bow and set up the arrows, and when the distance of the knight was less than 100 steps away from the 'night not collected', he suddenly shot out, for a while, the arrows rained down, the piercing whistling sound sounded, and the one who did not collect the cavalry at night died instantly, and the square inch was in chaos.
At that moment, a low horn sounded.
Jing Chuwei turned her head to see that the one who blew the trumpet was the 'night not collected' rider just now, and under the urging of his horn, the horsemen immediately stopped the pursuit and rode back.
Seeing this, the Turkic elite cavalry also retreated like a tide, and did not choose to counterattack, this wave of confrontation, the two sides won and lost each other, each with damage, and it was a draw.
Jing Chu Wei Ce immediately took a step forward, staring at the totem Daxu that disappeared in the distance, and relaxed all his body.
After counting the casualties, the cavalry immediately arranged for several cavalry to guard the surrounding area, and then ordered everyone to dismount and cut off the heads of the Turks as evidence, and the corpses were thrown into the sea of sand and left to rot.
Here, in the heart of the desert, it was cold at night, so the corpses did not decompose quickly.
However, Jing Chuwei knew that when the sun rose tomorrow morning, these headless corpses would be shriveled and stinky by the scorching sun, and three days later, they would be corrupted beyond recognition.
In general, there are five stages of decay in the body: autolysis, decay, black rot, fermentation, and dry rot.
The rot at the beginning, all on the inside, is good on the outside.
There are many bacteria in the human body, and when the human body dies, the brain first begins to decompose, and then some organs that consume more energy. 70% of the cells are water, and once they die, the water overflows.
After a few days, the corpse will turn black and shriveled, which is commonly known as black rot.
After a few months, the corpses will dry completely, and the rate of decay will slow down rapidly, so that the corpses will turn into dried corpses, and due to the unique environment of the desert, the fat of these corpses will also form some rare corpse wax.
Eventually, with the test of time, the corpses of these Turks will eventually turn into a pile of bones..... Under the moonlight, the whole dead desert, dotted with stars, has become a terrible 'landscape'!
Desert.
It is generally associated with death.
However, even such an ugly desert can sometimes have its beautiful side.
That is, lying on the soft sand and looking at the sky, the moon will be especially bright and the stars will be especially shining.
From the lack of the moon to the full moon, it rises from the majestic vast mountain, jumps out of the plug, illuminates Qilian, feasts on the mountain, and penetrates the jade gate.
And the stars in the sky will be much larger and denser than those in the gate. They bloomed one after another blazing and dazzling fires in the deep and distant sky, drawing a beautiful arc-shaped track, just like a milky way drawn by the Queen Mother of the West, passing away leisurely towards the infinite and vast sky.
Jing Chuwei looked at the sky, thoughtful.
In the distance, those strange 'Night Harvest' colleagues were harvesting the heads of the Turks, and some even began to pull out boning knives and began to skin the corpses, not knowing what to do.
In fact, when she had just become a border killer, Jing Chuwei saw those border swordsmen cutting off their heads, the skinned corpses hanging upside down at the gates of various military towns, and the human skin signboards hanging at the entrances of hotels........ She couldn't help but vomit, but gradually, she became numb and used to it.
Jing Chuwei probed Princess Ashina's snort, but fortunately, Xiao Nizi was just knocked unconscious by the old knife.
Thinking of the old knife handle, Jing Chuwei suddenly remembered something, and she hurriedly rode her horse to the corpses of the knife men, looking for the corpse of the old knife handle.
There are not many knife guests, and most of the corpses are intact, Jing Chuwei quickly turned out the corpse of the old knife handle from the corpse pile, at this time, he was hit by more than a dozen arrows from the top and bottom of his body, like a blood gourd, and he was still holding a saber in his hand, maintaining a fighting posture.
Jing Chuwei pulled out an arrow from the handle of the old knife and took a closer look.
However, the arrow is a flat triangular shovel shape, and a special alkaline earth solution is used on the surface to carbonize and waterproof the surface.
"Is it a crescent neck cutting arrow?" Jing Chuwei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood.
It turned out that in order to blame the border army for shooting the princess, the Turks even replaced all the arrows used from golden beryllium arrows to crescent neck cutting arrows unique to the Zisai strong bow battalion, which was really well-intentioned.
You know, the workmanship of this crescent neck cutting arrow is extremely cumbersome and expensive.
At present, only a small number of sharpshooters are listed, and the arrows issued will be made with a special mark on the barracks to which they belong, and after each use, the arrows also need to be recycled and made into a book, and the management is extremely strict, and it is well documented how many arrows have been lost and damaged.
The arrows that have not been issued, commonly known as "white arrows", have no marks on them, and are basically stored in the inner city of Zisai - in the treasury of the border army
Jing Chuwei turned the arrow and carefully checked the arrow marking, but the result was obvious that this was a "white arrow" that had not been recorded.
As for how the Turks got the crescent neck cut arrow in the heavily guarded treasury, this is a matter of opinion.
"Guzelk?z" came the rider approached, pressed his right hand to his chest, bowed slowly, and uttered a string of grunting legato words that meant good wishes.
"You're a Turk?" Jing Chuwei blurted out in surprise, and her hand subconsciously pressed on the knife.
"In Lower Shalfan, as to whether it is a Turk or not, I can give the girl an answer now, yes and no." The rider shook his head slightly, took off the black masked turban covering his face, and revealed the face of an exotic handsome man with a tall nose bridge, not of the Middle-earth race, nor like the grassland race, but more like the Western Regions race of Gaochang, Loulan, Jingjue and other places.
Jing Chuwei looked the man up and down, but heard him say in fluent Chinese: "Our tribe, as early as a hundred years ago, broke away from the Turkic tribe, my hometown, in the current Kipchak steppe of the Yuejibei Khanate, on the top of the Tianshan Mountains Yehu ......"
"Farewell to the moon, Ye Hu ......" Jing Chuwei held the hilt of the knife tightly, hesitated, and finally couldn't help asking: "You guys, why are you wearing clothes that don't take in the night?" Who are you? β
Jing Chuwei is not a person who talks much, however, the curiosity suppressed in her heart still couldn't help but let her ask more.
"We? Called 'fugitives' by the Turks! The man looked at the long yellow sand at the end of the west and the majestic snow-capped mountains looming in the east, and said with a smile: "As for this 'night not closed' costume, it was given by your leader Hu Yanhui himself. β
(The Yue is a branch of the Turkic tribe, and after breaking away from the Turkic rule, it was crowned as a "fugitive" and "breakaway" and gradually formed the future Kazakh)
"General Huyan? Chieftain? Why have I never heard from the lieutenant? Jing Chuwei was taken aback, and then asked, "The Ye Huguo you just said is on the top of the Tianshan Mountain; I have heard that there are high mountains and narrow roads, perennial snow, cold and freezing, inaccessible to people, and the environment is extremely harsh, how can people survive? β
Scholefan shook his head and said with a slight smile: "Has the girl ever been to the deepest place on the top of the Tianshan Mountain?" How do you know if there will be no people there? I'll tell you now, in the highest place of the Tianshan Mountains, on the cliff, the sun rises the most dazzling light, which is where Ye Huguo is located! β
