Chapter 291: The War Begins

Bang......

Feeling the vibration under their feet and the muffled sound coming from a distance, the faces of the cavalry who were patrolling the outskirts of the Mor Khanate suddenly changed.

Especially when they saw the sand and dust covering the sky, it made the face of the leading cavalry leader change greatly.

Just looking at the formation created by the group of cavalry on the opposite side, there must be 3,000 cavalry at least.

However, he did not hear that there were cavalry in the country today who knew that they were going out.

Besides, if your army is going to pass through your own jurisdiction, someone should come and tell you in advance.

In this way, there is only one possibility left.

"Withdraw! Evacuate!! ”

Pity......

It's too late.

By the time the cavalry leader shouted this, a cavalry team had already broken into his sight.

The figure at the front of that cavalry team was none other than the light cavalry commander of Great Xia, Silan.

At this time, the speed of the light cavalry had soared to the extreme, and the steppe cavalry on the opposite side had just begun to increase their speed, no matter what, they could not outrun Silan and his light cavalry.

The two thousand light cavalry directly turned into an invincible torrent, carrying an unstoppable momentum, rushing towards the hundreds of steppe cavalry in the distance.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly narrowing, there is no suspense, at the moment when the grassland cavalry is caught up, the swept torrent directly crushes these hundreds of grassland cavalry in an instant!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the patrol was wiped out.

Looking at Si Lan, who ended in an instant in the distance, Keree, who was with two thousand archers, pouted his lips with an unhappy expression.

But there is no way, who made their archers far inferior in speed to light cavalry?

In the last two days, Schwagka has been very depressed, because the 500 patrols he had placed on the border have been destroyed.

In addition to the pain of the loss of personnel and war horses, the most important thing is the meaning expressed from this.

It seems that Bactria is going to use troops against his Molkhanate state.

At that moment, an attendant ran in from the outside with a panicked face.

I don't know why, Schwaga's heart began to panic.

"What's the matter?"

"King Qiyu, since yesterday, there have been some strange rumors in the city, and by today, those rumors have spread all over the city."

"Rumors, what rumors?"

In the face of Schwaka's inquiry, the squire hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "That rumor said that the king was cruel and killed, and it was ......"

The attendant didn't notice that Schwaka's face had turned black at this time.

"Enough!"

Seeing that the attendant wanted to continue, Schwaka immediately scolded angrily, and then directly knocked over the table that he had just changed not long ago.

"This must be the ghost of the Naxia people!"

You don't have to think about it to know that in this huge world, only Naxia people can come up with such an idea.

"Check it out! There must have been spies from the Xia Kingdom who had infiltrated the city. ”

Then, turmoil began in the royal city of the Mor Khanate, and the soldiers were sent out, but at the slightest sign of suspicion, the soldiers would send the person back for strict interrogation.

Later, these soldiers even broke into the homes of the people, and they smashed and looted them without asking any questions, and when they saw that the people had daughters in their homes, they would immediately snatch them away.

If the people resist the slightest, they will be killed on the spot.

For a while, there was turmoil in the city, and the people who were already dissatisfied with Swagka's rule were even more eager for him to die immediately!

It can be said that the army of Great Xia has not yet arrived, and the Molkhanate is in a very dangerous situation.

Needless to say, the rumors in this city must have come from the spies of Great Xia.

Their original idea was to cause Schwagka a little trouble.

But he didn't expect that in a hurry, Schwaka actually used a stupid trick.

Originally, the foundation of the Mor Khanate was not very stable, and in just a few years,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Schwaga fought for years and continued to annex other steppe tribes.

Those fallen steppe tribesmen are now the people of the Mor Khanate.

It is obviously impossible to say that there is no resentment in the hearts of these people.

Under this premise, Schwaka's ability to keep his people well fed and clothed would be fine.

Maybe after one or two generations, those new generations will forget what happened to their predecessors.

But Schwagka simply couldn't do that.

In the Mor Khanate, even the better ones were no more than two meals a day.

And most people only have one meal a day, and some don't even have this meal.

Moreover, in the Morkhanate there were still a considerable number of slaves.

The reason why the border walls of the Molkhanate were built so tall was made entirely of the blood and tears of these slaves.

In the midst of the riots in the city of King Morhan, there were several incidents of slaves killing builders and even soldiers in just one day.

Such an act could not have been carried out spontaneously by the slaves.

In this, the spy door of the embroidered guard can be said to be indispensable.

Subsequently, this kind of thing seemed to bring about a chain reaction, in addition to a large number of slaves, even some civilians, also saw it.

All of a sudden, the entire Morkhanate was plunged into turmoil.

A simple hand can have such an effect, in the final analysis, the foundation of the Molkhanate is too shallow.

In such a small country established in a few years, the people live a very hard life, and the hatred in their hearts has not disappeared, how can they have a sense of belonging to this country?

Xia Qi's hand, when used to deal with such a small country with a shallow foundation, can only be said to be effective.

Of course, it was not enough to rely on a few slaves and civilians who rebelled.

Compared to the heavily armed soldiers, it is a complete rabble.

When Schwagka brought more soldiers to suppress the rebellion, those civilians and slaves could only be killed obediently.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, Xia Qi's purpose at the beginning was to create some civil strife and let Schwakaka take care of himself.

As for the destruction of the Mor Khanate, it still has to be done by him.

During this period, it was obvious that Silan and Kereh, who were roaming the outskirts of the Mor Khanate, could not spare them.

Any army that dares to take a step out of the country will be mercilessly attacked and killed by them.

There are rebellions in various parts of the country, and there are iron horsemen of Great Xia eyeing them abroad!

Internal and external troubles swept at the same time at this moment, and this bad situation undoubtedly made Schwaga's whole person anxious and anxious to the extreme.

Silan was riding on the back of his little golden horse, and the originally shiny armor on his body was now very dim, and the bronze armor was covered with the blood of the enemy.

During this time, there have been many battles in this grassland, and the number of people who died here is not two thousand, but one thousand.

Although the corpses have been disposed of, there is still a pungent smell of blood in the place.

Slan led his light cavalry to wander back and forth on this grassland, while Keree was in charge of another area.

Their current task is to snipe the steppe cavalry who dare to leave the borders of the Molkhanate country.

In the past few days, he has solved several of them.

Schwaka also had no choice, Xia Qi's hand didn't just bring him civil strife.

Once the slaves and commoners began to rebel, it meant that the productivity of many jobs in Morhan had come to a standstill, because they had no workers.

Under such circumstances, the problem of food, which was not particularly abundant in the first place, will undoubtedly explode completely.

If you want to solve this problem, you can either put down the rebellion and let those slaves and civilians go back to work honestly, or send steppe cavalry to go out to plunder resources.

It was not easy to quell the rebellion, and although the slaves and civilians were no match for the soldiers in terms of force, they were scattered and hid in various cities, and it would undoubtedly cost a lot to find them out one by one and solve them one by one

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Time.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Mor Khanate, which he had run single-handedly, from completely collapsing due to lack of food, Schwagka could only choose to send cavalry to see if he could find other steppe tribes to plunder resources.

However, at present, his choice is also not going well.

Outside the border, the two cavalry teams of Great Xia continued to attack their troops, and over the course of a month, his losses had become more and more great.

The trouble that Xia Qi's hand brought to him was far stronger than he expected.

At this moment, Schwagka was clearly aware that he could not go on like this.

Originally, he wanted to avoid Great Xia as much as possible before stabilizing the civil strife.

But now, he saw that the other party didn't give him time at all.

There is no way to avoid it, so you can only attack!

The sand and dust are all over the sky, and the war horses are rumbling.

The movement of a large number of cavalry approaching aroused Silan's vigilance at the first time.

Glancing at the sand and dust raised in the distance, Silan did not choose to attack, but directly turned the horse's head.

"Go east and full speed ahead!"

The well-trained light cavalry units began to accelerate, and almost two months had passed since His Majesty's warrant arrived.

The battles between them and the steppe cavalry have also been through several battles, and during this period, they are not without a little damage.

Now the light cavalry has a total strength of more than 3,600 cavalry, and has lost more than 300 cavalry.

Of the more than 300 horsemen who were lost, most of them were wounded and retreated to the rear, and some were killed in battle.

The same was true of the archers' troops, which could not be avoided.

Therefore, during this time, they also began to pay attention to the problem of avoiding casualties.

And now, although he has not yet had a face-to-face with the opposite side, according to the experience of the cavalry team led by Silan for many years, the cavalry that is chasing behind them is not more than them, and the number will not be less.

The use of light cavalry was to raid from a distance, to hit the front, and that was when there was an advantage or a necessity.

Moreover, now that the light cavalry has not even raised the speed, how can they fight with the opposite side?

Avoiding the edge for the time being, adjusting the state, and waiting for the right time, these are almost all the thoughts in Silan's mind at this time.

Sensing the movements of the Great Xia light cavalry troops in the distance, Natulu, who was leading the steppe cavalry to kill them at this time, would not let them go so easily.

It can be said that Swagka's attitude of not leaving the Great Xia cavalry is firm, and in just a short period of time, nearly 5,000 steppe cavalry have been assembled.

Then it was handed over to his own general, Natulu, to lead it personally.

In fact, if he was given some more time, he would have been able to gather more cavalry.

But now, what he lacks most now is cavalry.

After taking over the reins of this cavalry, Naturu led them towards the cavalry of Slan.

As for not Kree, but Slan.

His idea was simple, although the archers under the command of Kereh did not have as many troops as him, if they wanted to destroy them, they would definitely suffer a lot of casualties, and his advantage in strength would disappear in front of Slan.

And if you first eliminate Silan and the light cavalry under his command, and then turn around and destroy Kere, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient.

Therefore, Natulu, who had a clear goal, was very resolute, that is, he clung to the light cavalry of Silan.

Five thousand steppe cavalry galloped at the same time, and the movement seemed to make the whole land shake.

In the competition of speed, the archers can't outrun the light cavalry, but it is also impossible for Silan to get rid of Natulu's pursuit in a short time.

The forces on both sides of them can be regarded as having a lot of combat experience.

As the chief general under Schwaka, Natulu naturally has some ability, and he knows very well where the speed advantage of the light cavalry lies.

Therefore, on the way to chase and kill, I saw him wave his hand, and the steppe cavalry under his command suddenly divided into three, and rushed towards the left and right sides respectively.

It seems that he intends to outflank and intercept the light cavalry units of Slan.
