Chapter 146: Attack on Mengzhou (Part II)
The launching of any war is not as simple as sending troops, and the reason why there is a modern war that lasts is the economy, is because of the many involvements behind the war.
The most direct ones are the war preparedness, materials, logistical supplies, sacrifice and pensions required for war, and the indirect ones are also the impact of finance, stock market, import and export, energy, food, and so on.
However, because of the lameness of the technology tree in this world, coupled with the economic model of Great Qin's enclosure and self-imprisonment, a war is far less impactful.
As for places like Mongo, which were even in a "slave society", preparations for war were much simpler.
This is also the advantage of nomads, the reason why Genghis Khan was able to sweep across Eurasia in the previous life, there is no logistical pressure is a very important point, and it is one of the reasons to feed the war with war, and another point is that they can go to the battlefield with cattle and sheep, and the transportation pressure is very small.
In addition, wars between nomads are often relocated, and there is only one tribe left after the victory or defeat, and there is no concept of land.
If it is changed to the Central Plains Dynasty, the soldiers and horses will go first before moving the grain and grass, and launch an expedition, which will often consume most of the dynasty's taxes for a year. This is also one of the reasons why so many powerful dynasties in ancient times never achieved long-term and stable rule over places such as the Goryeo Peninsula and the Indochina Peninsula in his previous life.
When Liu Zhengjing was trying to scavenge the book reserves of his previous life to deal with the next war, the king of Kent had already seen it from afar.
Compared to the King Tent of Juan, which needs to be tasked with sealing the border, the King of Kent is much weaker.
But it's not something that five hundred cavalry can shake, in the vast majority of wars, decapitation is a means with the least investment and the greatest benefit, and the focus of Yin Hao's strategy is beheading.
Their advantage is that suddenly, the king's tent has ruled for a long time, and the martial virtues are deserted, and all they have to guard against is the occasional stunned youth among the herdsmen, and the defense is full of loopholes.
Liu Zhengjing ordered the team to stop for a while and wait until the wolf smoke rose before attacking. This is a relatively safe method, if Liu Zhengjing's beheading is successful, these five hundred people only need to help control the scene, if he fails, then the attack of these five hundred people is meaningless.
"Brother, I'm with you." Xiong Xiaoxiao took the initiative to request.
Liu Zhengjing smiled in his heart, this little guy still understands himself very well, "Okay, let's sneak in first, and then we can cover with you." ”
Chaochen's eyes were undisguised for Liu Zhengjing's contempt, how could this kind of trick be hidden from him, but he still said, "I'll go with you." ”
Liu Zhengjing smiled, rode forward, Chaochen and Xiong Xiaoxiao rode on the donkey, I don't know what means were used, the donkey's hooves were not fast, but the speed was not slow at all.
Liu Zhengjing studied all the way and found that the donkey seemed to be running normally, and the ground would "move" in the gap between the hoofs lifting and falling, Liu Zhengjing couldn't understand the trick, but guessed that this was a kind of use of real Qi, and felt that this old man was unfathomable.
When a horse and a donkey approached the tent on the edge of the tribe, a team of rangers greeted them, Liu Zhengzheng's face remained unchanged, and the outfit of this team of rangers should be a daily patrol team.
The team stopped more than ten meters away from Liu Zhengjing, and the first bearded leader looked at Liu Zhengjing and the three of them. A warrior who was one horse head behind him said to the leader: "It looks like a mainlander, how did you come here?" ”
Then he turned his head and shouted, "What man, what are you doing in Kent?" ”
Liu Zhengjing put his right hand on his left shoulder, immediately bowed slightly, and made a Mengzhou salute, "Dear warrior, I am a merchant from the mainland, and I discovered a big secret when I was trading in the Juan tribe, and I want to report it to the king of Kent. ”
Mengzhou is not absolutely isolated from the world, there will be merchants who are licensed by the Great Qin government and the Mengzhou royal account to be responsible for trade, and of course these goods will also be limited.
"Is the king of Kent what you say you will see?" The warrior who spoke looked arrogant and deliberately made things difficult, but he was actually asking for benefits.
The status of these merchants in Mongolia is not low, there are many privileges, and some princes are also very polite to them. The reason why he still dares to make things difficult is that on the one hand, he has some status among the warriors, and on the other hand, this businessman is very faceless, and it is normal to get some oil and water.
Liu Zhengjing didn't understand, and asked again, "Then can I ask to see the first warrior?" Intelligence is really important. ”
The man who spoke glanced at the bearded man at the head, "This eldest brother of mine is the second warrior of my King of Kent's tent, and any information is the same as reporting to my eldest brother." ”
It seems that the warriors are also divided into factions.
Just as Liu Zheng was pondering whether to take down this second warrior first, the bearded man suddenly raised his hand to stop his subordinates, "Chaza, don't say that, let's take them to see the chief of the guard." ”
The warriors of the Mengzhou royal tent generally also served as the chief of guard of the royal tent, that is, the commander of the warriors.
Then Liu Zhengjing heard the second warrior say something very awkward, "They have a saying in the mainland, 'Heaven is clear, the flood is surging', everything is for the king's account." ”
The subordinate nodded again and again, "The eldest brother has read the book, but it is different, what he said is too reasonable." ”
Liu Zhengzheng's face is strange, what is this, if you understand, you will pat yourself.
This bearded man is clearly from Hongmeng, and I'm afraid it's no coincidence that he came out to interrogate himself.
The bearded man led the way in front and entered the Kent tribe.
Along the way, I passed by many tents, and there were herdsmen who greeted the bearded man cordially, and it could be seen that the bearded man was very popular here.
Interesting.
Passing through the tent area on the edge of the tribe, we came to the construction area, and in the Mengzhou royal tent, only the nobles could afford to live in the building.
The warriors came to a small second-floor building, and the bearded man shouted, "Chief of the guard, there are merchants from the Juan tribe who say that there is important information to report. ”
A man swore in the building, and a few minutes later a man pushed the door open, seeing that he was disheveled and flushed, it should have been a good thing that he had been interrupted.
The man glanced at the bearded man with an angry face, and then his eyes fell on Liu Zhengjing and the others, "What are the merchants of the King of Juan's tent doing in the King of Kent tent?" ”
Liu Zhengjing turned over and dismounted, and walked over with a smile, looking flattering.
"Lord Guard, I have obtained important information from the Juan tribe, Prince Juan has not known where to buy a large number of firearms, this is a great crime, I suspect that he will be disadvantageous to the King of Kent......"
This news lifted the spirit of the chief of the guard, the royal tents have not always been peaceful, and the king of Mengzhou Khan has been provoking contradictions between the various royal tents for thousands of years in order to maintain his rule. Moreover, guns are not allowed in the Mengzhou royal tent, and this news is enough for Prince Juan to finish playing.
"Is that true?" The chief guard is a little excited?
"Come with your ears on." Liu Zhengjing stretched out his head to whisper to him.
The chief guard did not suspect him, leaned over slightly, and stretched his head over.
Liu Zhengjing naturally held his head with both hands and twisted it, and with a click, the huge body of the head of the guard fell to the ground and turned into a corpse, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The picture suddenly fell silent, it was too sudden, no one thought that they would find such a scene, it was the chief of the guard, a warrior in the martial arts realm.
There was a piercing scream from the second floor, and Liu Zhengjing looked up to see a naked woman's figure flashing in front of the bed.
Liu Zhengjing smiled slightly, "I have a good figure, but I can't be a thief." Then she smiled and turned to look at the group of rangers.
The bearded man didn't expect Liu Zhengjing to be so neat, and he pulled out the scimitar with a bang, and then there was a succession of knife drawings.
The bearded man stabbed back, and the head of the man who had been talking before fell to the ground, and the blood of the headless corpse spurted wildly, and he collapsed under the horse a few seconds later.
"Brothers, do you remember what I told you about the goddess? This is the oracle, now the glory of the goddess has shone on the tent of the king of Kent, let us pick up the scimitar in our hands, kill the prince, and save the herdsmen of the world! ”
The team of rangers behind him was just stunned for a moment, and then they all raised their arms and waved their swords, "Kill the prince and save the herdsmen!" ”
"Rush!" The bearded man rushed forward, and the people behind him followed.
Liu Zhengjing looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and felt funny, as if he didn't have to do anything himself, this Hongmeng's brother was too well prepared.
Needless to say, the one he killed should have been planted in his ranks.
Liu Zhengjing took off the clothes of the chief of the guard, lit it, and picked up horse manure on the side of the road and piled it up, and the thick black smoke stretched straight into the sky.
Watching Liu Zhengjing lead the horse and stroll in the direction of the city, the old man riding a donkey suddenly asked, "Are you from Hongmeng?" ”
Liu Zhengjing knew that he couldn't hide it from this old man, so he simply nodded.
"The chief guard just now is a martial artist, it seems to be a sneak attack, and the shot is simple, but in fact, the martial arts are superb, even if it is not a sneak attack, the captain of the guard may not be able to dodge that move." Chaochen continued to comment, "I can't think of anyone else in the young generation of Hongmeng who can do it except for the Facelings who have just risen, but you don't wear a mask. ”
"The Killer Alliance's God Killer may be able to do it, but you don't have the strong murderous aura that the God Killer rumors rumored."
"Unexpectedly, the mysterious young powerhouse Zhang Sanfeng turned out to be a member of Hongmeng, Hongmeng's generation of young people is amazing."
Xiong Xiaoxiao was a little nervous.
Liu Zhengjing glanced sideways at the old man, "The predecessor is really a person from the Nine Gates, I don't know what the senior's surname is?" ”
His face was silent, but in fact, the internal force had already flowed through his body, which was why he insisted on going all the way with this old man.
Hong Meng will inevitably appear in this operation, and the old man is at risk if he is a person from Jiumen, and he is also gambling.
The old man didn't deny or admit it, "You don't have to be nervous, there are too many crimes here in Mengzhou, I see everything you do, it's none of my business, I'm just a little master of Xiong." ”
Only then did Xiong's small body relax.
Liu Zhengjing smiled, the bet was right, a master who rides a donkey and wanders the world, there is a high probability that he is not the kind of person who has too much family responsibility, this old man gives people a neutral and peaceful temperament, he should not be a bad person, and this is still Mengzhou.
Then it went very well, and the five hundred cavalry entered the Kent tribe without hindrance.
The bearded man dragged the fat body of the prince and many tied clan relatives, gathered all the herdsmen in the royal tent, announced the various evil deeds of the prince of Kent in public, and then solemnly introduced Liu Zhengjing's identity as a divine envoy.
Yin Hao is not lying, the legend of the goddess has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Next, the bearded man raised his arms and shouted, those who are willing to pick up the sword and follow the goddess, now get on the horse and go together to overthrow the Khan King, and many people in the crowd immediately raised their arms to echo, and the atmosphere was suddenly driven.
Liu Zhengjing glanced at the first person in the crowd to respond, and eighty percent was Tuo.
Very well prepared and experienced.
The 3,000 warriors who originally belonged to the King of Kent, plus more than 1,000 herdsmen who joined temporarily, nearly 5,000 cavalry, one man and three horsemen, set off to the west in a mighty manner, and their morale was high.
On the other hand, Lin Qingyue was even more simple and rude. Prince Wendu was holding a banquet, and Song Zhi took her to directly empty the palace of Prince Wendu, and sent the prince back to the west in front of everyone.
Then Lin Qingyue revealed his identity, and he had already made sufficient preparations, but most of them were called useless Hongmeng spies, and they attacked and cut off the head of the first warrior behind their backs, and then the crowd responded.
The Wendu Tent is located in the south of Mengzhou, bordering the mainland, and its strength is even slightly stronger than the original Juan Tent, which subdued and pulled up more than 5,000 troops in an hour and drove westward.
In one day, the three kings' tents in the eastern part of Mengzhou were all returned to the goddess tribe.
To put it simply, in fact, the king's tent is too unpopular, and Hong Meng has been preparing for a long time.
Even if there is no Liu Zhengjing and Lin Qingyue, it is time for Mengzhou to be chaotic, and this is just the tip of the general trend in the world.
