Chapter 558: Kushan Coup
In the night, Sugarsha's beautiful eyes shone with a cold glow.
She naturally knew how useful the two Qin people equipment that Laga Bone had brought back was.
The Steppe Folk lack copper and iron, but can be crafted from other materials.
There are countless trees on Helan Mountain, and the herdsmen on the grassland have a large number of cattle and horses.
Wood, leather, rope......
These materials can be used to imitate the foot rings of the horses, and the tall saddles of the Qin people.
Although the things that come out will be simple and undurable compared to the standard metal equipment of the Qin people, they can still provide a bonus in combat power for the Yue's cavalry.
With a high saddle and ankle rings, the knight on the horse could let go of his hands holding the reins, shoot his bow and arrow at a gallop, and be able to wield his weapon while charging to kill and wound his enemies.
This is probably the confidence of Laga Gu to take revenge on the Qin people.
But Sugartha didn't think they could succeed.
Although she was amazed at the role of these two pieces of equipment, she knew more keenly that the reason why the Qin army's combat effectiveness surpassed that of the Yue clan was not only because of these two things, but because of all-round crushing.
"The Qin army is outnumbered by more people than our entire clan combined, and their armor is strong enough to withstand the arrows of our Yue people. Their blades are sharp enough to easily pierce the bodies of our warriors. The assembled chariot formation was the best cover for the Qin army's foot soldiers, able to protect their fragile food fleet from our attack, and the crossbow arrows flying in the sky were their powerful weapons. ”
"And they also have a cunning general, which is not comparable to our Guishan."
"The mistake of the Marquis of Xi has caused the tribe to suffer huge losses, we have more than 10,000 warriors died on the grassland, and the current Guishan can no longer afford the war."
Su Jiasha only wanted to lead her people back to Hexi, and was unwilling to fight the Qin people again.
But the return of Raja has caused problems with the evacuation plan she and Humi have drawn up.
Even the Marquis of Humi was moved by Rajab's words, and he looked at the two pieces of cavalry equipment and moved.
After seizing Henan, the Kushan tribe occupied the Helan grassland, while the Xiumi tribe grazed the Hetao grassland a little to the north, where the water and grass were also abundant, the land was fertile, and the conditions were much better than those in Hexi.
If there was a chance to defeat the Qin army, the Marquis of Xiu Mixi did not want to give up this piece of fat in his hands, and the two cavalry equipment brought by Laga bone raised his confidence.
Seeing such a situation, Sugarsha could only shake her head secretly.
The unassertive Hou Humi was really swaying at both ends.
She could only advise her brother about the strength of the Qin army's strength and equipment.
Laga Gu snorted: "Father was wrong before, we shouldn't have attacked the Qin people's chariot formation. ”
"Although the Qin people's chariot formation is strong and the crossbow arrows are powerful, as long as we ride our horses away, they will not be able to hurt us, let alone kill or injure so many people. Therefore, the infantry of the Qin people is not afraid at all, we only need to defeat their cavalry! ”
"Although our people have died a lot, the Qin army is not much better, their cavalry is less than 20,000 people, if they are released to fight with us alone, our warriors equipped with high saddles and foot rings can definitely defeat them! If their cavalry did not dare to come out, then they could only march on the steppe at the speed of a turtle like the infantry! ”
"We just need to avoid the main force of the Qin people and drag them down. The large number of Qin troops also means that they consume a lot of grain every day, and they eat grain that is not long in the grassland, and they need to be transported from the land of Senei, thousands of miles away, and it will not last long. ”
"We don't fight with them, we have been fighting them on the grassland, at most in the autumn, after the weather becomes cold, the Qin people will not be able to hold on to retreat, and at that time, it will be time for us to win!"
Su Jiasha frowned and said, "Since the Qin army's army can't last long, then we might as well retreat to Hexi first, and wait until autumn, when the Qin army retreats, and we will come back." ”
"Can't go back to Hexi! The royal court has always had a dispute with our Guishan Ministry, and once we retreat, the royal court will definitely attack us, and the Guishan Ministry can only stay here. ”
"And if we leave, the Qin army will retreat safely in the autumn, and they will come back next year, so we have to fight them here, and when they can't hold back anymore, we will launch a pursuit and defeat the Qin people, so that they will never dare to come to the grassland again!"
Thinking that his strategy could defeat the Qin army, Raja reprimanded his sister and asked her to go and win over the Marquis of Humi and make the Humi and Guishan tribes stand on the same front.
Su Jiasha retreated silently, she remembered the crazy appearance of Laga Gu and Guishan Xihou when they besieged the Qin army's chariot array before.
"The Qin army is difficult to defeat, and if the confrontation continues, the Lajia bone will destroy Guishuang!"
"He's the enemy of Guishan!"
Sugarsha made up her mind, and after leaving the account, she gathered a few of her cronies.
The status of the Yue noblewoman in the tribe is not low, and Su Jiasha has quite a lot of means and wisdom, so she naturally has some power under her command.
It's nighttime.
Rajab, who was directing his people to cut down trees and collect leather to make ankle rings and high saddles, received an invitation from Sugartha, saying that he was invited to come and discuss important matters.
"What's going on, you're busy?"
Raja was a little upset, but he still took his guards to Sugartha's vault.
In the warm dome, Sugarsha was only dressed in thin clothes, sitting quietly on a felt carpet, with an exotic beautiful face, a concave and convex posture, and the eyes of the Raja who had just entered the tent lit up.
The two guards behind him involuntarily made the sound of swallowing saliva.
"What do you want me to do? The Qin army will be here in a few days, and I have to ask the clansmen to build those two things as soon as possible. ”
Raja said.
He saw that in addition to Sugartha, there were two other women waiting in the tent, with their heads bowed, cutting the roasted leg of lamb with the dagger in their hands, exuding a faint aroma of roasted meat, and there were prepared drinks beside them.
Su Jiasha smiled faintly, looked at the two guards behind Laga Bone, and said, "Naturally, there is something very important to discuss, let them go out." ”
Raja frowned, and then he heard Sugartha say something again, and his face suddenly changed slightly, so that the guards behind him immediately came out of the account.
"Someone wants to support Darasu."
These were the words of Sugartha, and they were the reason for the change in Raja's expression.
The Marquis of Guishan not only has a son of his, especially the one who stayed in the Helan Grassland, the young son Dalasu, who is still an adult, has always been favored by the Marquis of Guishuang and is a threat to his Lajia bone.
He whispered, "Who is it?" ”
When Sugarsha saw the two guards of Raja Bone go out, she stood up, and as she walked over, she said to the two maids who were cutting the meat, "Go out too." ”
"Yes."
The two maids answered, and stood up with daggers.
Raja didn't care, just stared at Sugartha in front of her, her words were important.
Sugartha walked up to Raja and smiled at him.
"It's Qi Keda and a few thousand elders, Qi Keda has a grudge against you, and I'm afraid that you will retaliate against him after you become the Marquis, so I came to me, hoping to get my support and help Darasu take the throne together."
Rajab's face turned blue, Qi Keda was the commander of the 10,000 cavalry brought back by Sujiasha, and he was quite powerful in the Kushan Tribe, if he supported his younger brother to seize the throne, it would be troublesome.
"The Qin army is coming, they still want to have civil strife at this time, I want to kill him!"
"I'll help you."
Sugartha chuckled, reached out and unbuttoned her shirt, and in a moment, a well-proportioned woman's body was naked in front of Raja's eyes.
"This ...... What do you mean by that, we are brother and sister! ”
Raja was caught off guard, his mouth talking, and his eyes staring straight at Sugartha's chest.
Su Jiasha smiled, her smooth body was pasted, and she said softly: "It's because they are brothers and sisters that they ......"
She jerked her feet up and kicked them hard in the crotch of Raja.
The iron man on the grassland had already been disturbed by his sister's series of operations, and he didn't expect this trick to be in pain, screaming and falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the two maids, who had not yet stayed away, pounced on each other and stabbed the dagger in their hands into the neck of Laga.
Looking at the raga bone that kept spurting blood on the ground and writhing his body in pain.
Sugartha's face was expressionless.
As she put on her clothes again, she said coldly, "The person who supports my younger brother is actually me. Rajabone, you will only bring destruction to Kushan. ”
Sugartha looked out of the tent, where screams rang out at the same time, it was her men who were killing Rajab's guards.
With mental arithmetic and unintentional, it is very smooth.
Next, all she needs to do is get hold of her younger brother, put the clan in order in his name, and clean up the power of Rajab.
Then you can leave here with the people of Guishan and return to Hexi, which is far away from the Qin people.
"Enough time."
Sugartha whispered softly.
The battlefield where the three Yue tribes fought with the Qin people was two hundred miles away from Helan Mountain, and the cavalry could arrive in a day or two.
However, the Qin army was dominated by foot soldiers, and they only had more than 10,000 cavalry, and it was impossible to send only cavalry over, which would be too risky. Therefore, the time for the Qin army to arrive here is at least six or seven days.
She still has time.
By the time the Qin army arrived, the Yue people had already left, and all that was left for the Qin generals was livestock manure all over the ground.
