Chapter 143: Accidental Killing

The next day, with the support of Jia Cong, Borchi became the head of the tribe as he wished.

In order to help him stabilize the tribe as soon as possible, let Xu Hua be his military advisor, which can be regarded as a nail in the tribe.

In the future, when the caravan comes, there is no need to stay too long.

Just put down the goods directly and pull away the materials in the tribe, and Xu Hua will organize people to trade the goods out.

On the side of the horse bandit camp, Xu Hua was also supervised.

The recruitment of cavalry also proceeded very smoothly, with more than 3,000 people signing up alone.

Jia Cong also asked people to tell the more than 1,200 captives that as long as they joined their cavalry team and killed enough three, they could enjoy the normal treatment of strange soldiers, and a military salary of two taels of silver per month.

On the steppe, prisoners of war were the slaves of the winning side, and they were generally distributed to meritorious warriors.

The plundered population is also a slave, and except for the chief, the majority is to be shared, and the remaining part is also to be distributed to the meritorious people.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

When these captives heard that there was such a good thing, they all signed up for the assessment.

In the morning competition, the difference is not very big, they are all men who grew up on horseback, and they are very proficient in riding.

In the afternoon, when the physical strength was tested, the gap was revealed, and only more than 2,100 out of more than 4,000 people were selected.

Then there was another competition, this time it was bravery.

According to the competition, the ten-division commander, the centurion, Wang Shun and Zhang Hu were selected as the commanders of the thousands, each leading a thousand people.

These two thousand one thousand people, plus Wang Shun's original subordinates, a total of more than 2,300 people, formed a cavalry team, with Wang Shun as the commander, Zhang Hu as the deputy commander, and Xu Hua as the military division.

There are 2,000 more cavalry at once, and I don't know if Wang Shun and Zhang Hu can lead it.

Wang Shun had commanded more than 300 people at most, and although Zhang Hu had learned the art of war, he had not actually operated it, so it seemed that he could only run in slowly.

Let's let them train for a while, and then let's get acquainted with their subordinates first, and slowly there will be a tacit understanding.

The new head of the tribe, Borchi, also formed the remaining young and strong into a tribal guard of more than 2,000 people.

With Xu Hua's help in giving advice and assisting in management, the entire tribe slowly got on the right track.

It's just that if this Borchi wants to have this tribe in the name of righteousness, he still needs to pass the level of their Mongolian Taiji.

It needs the recognition of Mongolian Taiji, and canonization, to be regarded as a real tribal head.

For this level, Jia Cong can't do anything, he can only look at Borchi's own ability and luck.

After some deliberation, Borchi took a few carts of gifts and his guards to meet their Taiji, hoping to be recognized.

Xu Hua stayed behind to take care of the tribe, after all, Borchi had no foundation, and it would be easy to be overthrown.

This is also the main reason why he recognizes Jia Cong as the master, looking for a powerful backstage and allies to help consolidate his position.

The caravan gained a lot this time, in addition to the materials traded, there was also Lao Balai's family property, and most of Zarim's family property.

After Borchi took over the tribe, he rightfully took over the property of Zarim, and in order to win over Jia Cong, he dedicated most of Zarim's collection to him.

Jia Cong naturally wouldn't be polite, and accepted all the orders.

Except for some fine products selected for personal use, the rest were handed over to the caravan and let them be brought back to the mainland for processing.

After Borchi left, the caravan had already packed his bags and started his way back.

In order to wait for news from Borchi, Jia Cong chose to stay, along with Wang Shun's cavalry team.

Without getting the exact result, Jia Cong was still a little worried.

After all, with Borchi here, it is very beneficial to himself, and if you really want to talk about it, this tribe is no different from your own.

Han Nianci also took her men, as well as some luxury goods left by Jia Cong, and returned to Black Mountain Village with the caravan.

Wangcai handed over the 300 war horses he brought back to Zhang Dakui, and then returned to the Linhe Villa in Shenjing with the caravan.

Zhang Dakui was very happy to get the war horse, and in addition to training, he also took time to let the recruits practice horsemanship, in order to become qualified cavalrymen as soon as possible.

Jia Cong waited in the tribe for a few days, and when he was idle, he planned to go out for a walk.

I found Zardan and learned about the surrounding terrain.

This Zardan is one of the four guards of Zarim, the four of them can be Zarim's personal guards, and they survived on the battlefield, and they are also warriors in the tribe, Jia Cong directly incorporated them into the personal guards.

It is very convenient to walk on this border with a few Mongols around.

Jia Cong took Qingwen, Li Biao and the four guards of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and a hundred personal guards, and followed Zardan to play on the grassland for three days.

I saw it, the sky was blue, the wilderness was vast, and the wind blew the grass and saw the beautiful scenery of the grassland of cattle and sheep.

On the boundless prairie, the cattle and sheep eating grass on the meadow, the herdsmen grazing on horseback, the round tents, the slowly rising cooking smoke, coupled with the blue sky, and the white clouds, form a perfect picture.

I also experienced the thrill of galloping horses on the prairie, which is really refreshing.

The farthest he ran to three hundred miles away, close to the place of the barbarians, and further east he entered the realm of the barbarians.

Zardan said: "Third master, we can only go here, it will not be safe to go any further, and there is a possibility that we will encounter the patrol of the barbarians." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Then let's go back, next time we will take the caravan over there to have a look." ”

The people turned their horses' heads and walked unhurriedly to and fro.

Jia Cong couldn't help but move when he saw the eagle hovering in the sky in front of him.

If you can domesticate one, it will be too useful when fighting in the wild, and you can reconnoiter the enemy's situation, so as not to be ambushed and not known.

If you have your own eagle, you can know the surrounding enemy situation well, and if you domesticate it, you can also pass on information.

He turned his head and asked, "Zardan, are there any eagle cultivators in your tribe or nearby tribes?" ”

Zardan shook his head and said: "Back to the third master, our tribe doesn't have it, and the nearby tribes don't have it, if the third master wants to raise it, Hai Dongqing on the barbarian side is a good choice."

However, it is not easy to get it, Hai Dongqing generally lives on cliffs, and has to hire a large number of hunters to find it. ”

This is true, Hai Dongqing is flying at high altitude, and it is really not easy to catch it.

Unless you find its nest, when it hatches a small sea green, climb the cliff to get the young, and then slowly raise it.

When I have time, I will take the special combat team to the beach to have a look, and by the way, I will go to Changbai Mountain to see and see.

"Report to the third master, there are a group of barbarians behind him, about a hundred or so, they are coming in our direction, there are still five miles away from here, the intention is unknown, please show the third master."

Jia Cong was a little puzzled when he heard this, could it be that he was coming for his own people?

Then he shook his head, he just went out for a walk at random, and it was impossible for anyone to know his whereabouts.

No matter what the other party's intentions are, it is better to prepare in advance, so as not to be overwhelmed by a charge.

When hostile sides encounter in the field, they always strike first and suffer last.

"Everyone is ready to fight, target the enemy in the rear, prepare to charge."

Everyone quickly adjusted into a charging formation, controlled the horses, and slowly trotted up.

At this time, he had already seen the opposite team, and Jia Cong shouted: "Kill!" ”

Urging the war horse under the crotch, he took the lead in rushing up, the rapid sound of the horse's hooves rumbled, and the whole horse team rushed towards the team in front like an arrow off the string.

The opposing horse team also began to speed up and quickly caught up, and the two sides quickly closed the distance.

When the two sides approached a hundred meters, they already felt the oncoming sense of oppression, and if it weren't for the courage of the artist, they would probably turn their horses and flee.

Jia Cong quickly bent his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at the person in front, and shot an arrow.

With a "whoosh", the other party fell off the horse.

The speed of the charge on both sides was too fast, and coupled with the rate of fire of the bow and arrow, it was really difficult to dodge at such a fast speed.

An arrow was fired, Jia Cong quickly pulled out the black knife, and the two sides were already within fifty meters.

After a few breaths, the two sides collided.

Jia Cong took the lead in the enemy formation, only to see a black light flash, and a human head flew into the air.

The war horse continued to rush forward, a long knife slashed head-on, Jia Cong turned sideways, the black knife was waved out, and with a "poof", the arm holding the long knife was cut off with a knife.

As soon as the other party let out a scream, he was cut off by Li Biao, who came later.

Jia Cong waved his hand to block a spear stabbed on the left, Qingwen rushed up and slashed the other party under the horse, the two of them left and right, guarding Jia Cong's side.

A little later, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, and Dong Mei were the four of them, followed closely behind the three.

The seven formed a conical arrow and plunged into the enemy's ranks, followed by the guards behind them.

After killing seven or eight people in a row, he broke through the opponent's formation.

Running fifty meters in one go, he turned his horse's head from another place and again entered the enemy's camp.

The opponent's camp was killed, and thirty or forty people had already been lost, and when they saw Jia Cong bringing people to kill again, they lost their courage and immediately became confused, and some people even turned their horses and ran.

was easily killed by Jia Cong again, killing more than a dozen people, and the rest of the people dispersed directly.

Jia Cong yelled: "Take the squad as a unit, chase and kill separately, and don't let any of them escape." ”

When everyone heard this, they instantly divided into ten squads, followed behind the captain, and chased after the fleeing barbarians.

Jia Cong was not idle, and chose the direction where there were many people to chase down, and Qingwen and others also followed.

Several of them rode the best horses in the tribe, and after chasing them for less than ten miles, they chased them and killed them.

Looking at the person who ran farthest, Jia Cong took off his longbow, bent his bow and aimed at the other party, and when he shot it, he was slightly off the beaten track and shot the person off the horse.

Turned his head to Li Biao and said, "Li Biao, I left that guy alive, you go and bring him back, and I'll ask who it is." ”

"Yes, third master, subordinates obey orders."

Li Biao agreed, stepped forward, leaned over and lifted the man onto the horse, ran a few steps forward, and brought the war horse back.

Everyone returned to the battlefield one after another, and all the escapees were killed, leaving not a single survivor.

Fortunately, he withdrew at the last moment, otherwise there would be no one alive.

"Li Biao, Liu Er, you are responsible for leading people to clean up the battlefield, count casualties, and count the number of enemies killed by each person, and reward them for their merits when you go back."

"Yes, Third Master, subordinate order."

Jia Cong looked at Qingwen beside him, and the four of them asked, "How is it, how do you feel when you face the cavalry charge for the first time?" ”

Qingwen said embarrassedly: "Third Master, in the face of the cavalry rushing over, the pressure in my heart at that time was really great, if it wasn't for the third master rushing in front, I guess I would have turned around and ran, am I very useless?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "It's normal to have this kind of thought for the first time, and at a certain moment, I also have this kind of thought, you remember, the general is the courage of the soldiers, and the generals must move forward bravely, so that the soldiers will not be afraid of life and death." ”

Qingwen smiled and said: "I don't care about these, anyway, I will follow the third master, the third master will follow me, and the third master will not rush if he doesn't rush me." ”

Chun Xia, Qiu Dong also said: "We are also the same as Qingwen, we are only responsible for protecting the safety of the third master, guarding the third master's side, and not letting the third master have any mistakes." ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he was still quite useful in his heart, and he didn't cultivate them in vain.

He smiled at a few people and said, "You guys aren't hurt, are you?" ”

Several people shook their heads, and Chunlan said: "With the skills of a few of us, it is difficult for anyone to hurt us if we charge together." ”

After only a few battles, these people began to swell, which is not a good phenomenon, otherwise they will suffer a big loss in the future.

Jia Cong said with a serious face: "Don't be too confident, the number of people in these battles is too small, if it is a big battle of tens of thousands of people, once you enter it, you will fall into a heavy encirclement."

There are enemies in all directions, and the war horse can't run at all, and it can't play a role, so it can only be killed hard, step by step, at this time, once negligent or physical strength is not enough, it will be messed up.

So when I select soldiers, the first thing is to pass the physical strength level, although your physical strength is stronger than others, but how much stronger? How much longer can you last? You can't be too careless at any time. ”

Chunlan said: "Third master, we remember, no matter what happens in the future, we will be cautious." ”

Jia Cong nodded, just a little reminder, and it couldn't hurt their confidence too much.

Soon everyone finished cleaning the battlefield, and Li Biao ran over to report with a happy face.

"Third master, this time a total of one hundred and five enemies were killed, as well as two wounded prisoners, a total of more than 100 war horses, more than 200 catties of ginseng, more than 300 Dongzhu, and more than 40 of our people were injured, all of them were slightly injured."

If it weren't for the fact that he led his men to charge in front, it would not be as simple as a slight injury, and it is estimated that there would have been casualties.

It's just that these people bring so much ginseng, what are they doing with Dongzhu?

"Have the two captives interrogated? What do these people do? ”

Li Biao said: "Third master, I have also interrogated those two captives, they are envoys sent by the barbarian old slaves, this time they are going to the Mongolian Khalkha Department, and they want to join forces with Mongolia to deal with Dachu." ”
