Chapter 518 [Do you want me to remind you?]

Three hundred human heads piled up out of the Jingguan.

And that bloody warning.

However, this was not enough to scare off the iron hooves of the steppe people.

All the way to the east, since crossing the Northwest Corridor, the completely undefended and non-resistive long drive straight into the heart of the steppe people has grown the arrogance in the hearts of the steppe people, and at this moment, the three hundred vanguard cavalry was destroyed, only igniting the monstrous anger in the heart of the golden wolf-headed general!

"It's a sneak attack!!"

The golden wolf-headed general immediately gave his own judgment: "Those hateful Rolanders, those cowardly bastards of the Tulip family, they sneaked up on our warriors!!"

It must also be admitted that in addition to the anger, the golden wolf-headed general actually had a faint sense of relief in his heart.

Yes!

Anyway, the enemy still appeared!

Although it was very refreshing to drive all the way, there was no gain from being empty-handed, and it still made all the grassland hearts heavy. They left their homes and traveled thousands of miles away, but they didn't come to play some armed march.

They are here to conquer, they are here to rob! They are invaders!

But it has been more than ten days since I came to the territory of the Tulip family, but the scimitars of the samurai have not been stained with a drop of enemy blood!

Not to mention human blood, not even the blood of livestock!

Although everyone explained it with the reason that "the Tulip family is cowardly, and the Roland people are too cowardly". But after all, not everyone is a fool.

There are still people who still feel that something is wrong...... The tulip family's cousin is too far behind the legendary fame, right?

Yes, the Tulip family did not resist, they evacuated completely.

But we didn't get any results!

No wealth, no food, no livestock, no plundering of the population and slaves.

What did we get? The land under our feet? But the land can't be taken away!

One way or another. The loss of these 300 vanguard cavalry was infuriating, but at least ...... The Tulip House finally appeared! They finally began to resist.

Three hundred cavalrymen, if they die, they will die! This time, more than 100,000 warriors came to the east!

The Golden Wolf Head General quickly calmed down, and then gave his own order: cross the river!!

......

Crossing?

This is not easy for the steppe people.

Although this is only a canal that is not wide.

But because of the introduction of water from Loulan Lake, the canal is not wide, but it is deep enough.

The deepest point was more than three meters - this was measured by the cavalry with wooden sticks tied to stones and thrown down.

For the steppe people, perhaps the last thing they are good at is building fortifications - this is not the traditional way of warfare of the steppe people.

The traditional way of warfare of the steppe people is that everyone gathers the men of their own tribe, mounts horses, and then meets on an open grassland. Engage in a tidal charge, fight!

Machete to machete, tooth to tooth!

Besiege?

Defending the city?

Fortifications?

Crossing the river, making pontoons?

This is definitely the shortcoming of the grassland people.

Even if it's such a canal that is not wide.

However, after all, the golden wolf-headed general was sitting on tens of thousands of troops, and he soon found a way.

There were many abandoned water conservancy facilities and workshops along the riverbank, and he asked the samurai to tear them down, fetch wood, throw them into the canal, and in a very short time, a pontoon bridge could be built alive.

But just when the steppe people of the West Bank were busy. On the east side of the canal, there was also some movement.

From afar came several troops of Tulip cavalry - which immediately excited the steppe people.

Many steppe warriors began to wield scimitars across the canal to the opposite bank, letting out threatening roars.

There are also steppe warriors. Pick up your riding bow and shoot at the opposite bank.

The Tulip family on the other side of the river did not have too many troops, only about a thousand people.

These are not traditional cavalry, to be exact. They were archers on horseback.

The Tulip family's army was well-armed, and everyone wore light and strong leather armor. They had bows hanging from their saddles and four quivers on their straps.

on the road. There were also dozens of wagons rolling in the dust.

These tulip armies simply ignored the provocations of the steppe people on the other side, and even ignored the sporadic bow and arrow attacks of the steppe people.

Far from the shore, they stood beyond the range of the steppe people's cavalry bows, which were small and convenient, but their greatest weakness was their lack of range.

More than 300 meters away, the arrows began to become limp.

The soldiers of the Tulip family began to operate in an orderly manner.

They dismantled the dozens of wagons on the other side.

Both sides of the canal were busy, and the steppe people were noticeably scattered and efficient: they were busy wielding scimitars to cut wood from the water conservancy facilities and workshops, trying to throw it into the canal to make pontoon bridges. But most of the people are impetuous, they have to be distracted and yelling at the ghosts on the other side, making aimless roars, and some people can't help but shoot at the other side.

It seems to be lively, but in the eyes of the tulip family army on the other side......

"Are those guys monkeys?"

A soldier of the Tulip family couldn't help but ask.

No one answered him!

"Don't talk nonsense! Do your job!"

The strict military discipline of the Tulip family made their work silent and swift.

Soon, dozens of wagons were dismantled, and little by little they became a row...... Catapults.

The carriage carried rows of black jars.

When the last catapult was assembled, the steppe pontoon looked less than a third complete.

At this time, the tulip family began to attack!

The Tulip family's army began to line up, and the soldiers in the first row erected a row of tall shields to form a shield wall, and then the soldiers hid behind the shield wall and slowly advanced towards the river bank!

This action caused a strong reaction from the steppe people, and more and more steppe warriors who were working put down their work, rushed to the shore, picked up their riding bows and shot at the opposite bank.

This move didn't have much effect.

Most of the arrows hit the shield wall, making only a clanging sound.

The shields of the tulip family form a phalanx that resembles a turtle's shell. Advance to the shore - after seeing that the effective range of the maximum threat has been reached.

The Tulip House is starting to fight back!

After a sharp whistle, the Tulip family's shield phalanx suddenly lifted the shield above, revealing the archers hiding under the shield!

These archers occupied a dense and neat position, and they had already made all the preparations, and when the shield was lifted, a dense rain of arrows roared out!

The two sides fired at each other across the canal, and in the end only proved one thing: the most basic common sense in the introductory course of the Roland Imperial Military Academy: archers can only achieve the most effective damage when they are in a dense salvo.

The cavalry bow shooting of the steppe people was scattered and unorganized. The Tulip House has completed a standard salvo! The coverage area, the density of the shooting, can almost be included in the textbook standard!

After the first salvo. The steppe people on the west bank let out one after another screams, I don't know how many steppe people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, the screams of war horses, and the terrible howls of the warriors in pain......

The most terrifying thing is that the shooting coverage of the tulip house extends far beyond the shore.

The archers' projectiles made the effective range of the bow and arrows far exceed that of the steppe people. Even the golden wolf-headed general standing at the back of the team suffered a rain of arrows!

Even if the guards around him raised their shields in time to resist, there were still many guards around the golden wolf-headed general who fell from their horses with arrows!

And most of the steppe warriors were miserable -- shields were a rarity on the grasslands! Only a leader-level figure like the Golden Wolf Head General would equip his own personal guards.

As for ordinary steppe warriors. can have a scimitar and a set of flat leather armor, which is already a first-class hero.

The Tulip family's attack was cold and cruel. The bows and arrows of the steppe people also caused sporadic casualties. But here in Tulip's house, even if someone is occasionally hit by an arrow, they will only let out a short scream, and they will soon be dragged down by their companions. Quickly towed out of the dangerous area, there are special logistics medical officers to carry out emergency rescue.

The three phalanxes of the tulip family completed three consecutive waves of salvos very openly.

After these three volleys. No steppe man would dare to stand on the shore and shoot at the Tulip family's army.

Countless corpses fell on the riverside, both human and horse.

Moreover, there is also a consequence that the ranks of the steppe people quickly loosened - in the face of the Tulip family's almost professional army-like quality, the dense bow and arrow cover shooting, the steppe people, even idiots, understand that it is simply suicidal to maintain a dense line at this time.

The steppe people began to retreat, and in a swarm of swarms retreated backwards.

And this time...... The Tulip family's catapult is starting to wield!

Dozens of catapults began to eject.

What was ejected was the black jars.

These black canisters are bandaged with oilcloth, and when they are projected, soldiers next to them methodically ignite the oilcloth and then throw it out with catapults......

The jars, as if sparks had landed, smashed on the heads of the retreating steppe team.

The jar fell to the ground, shattered, and the fire oil filled with it sprayed everywhere, turning into one flame after another in the midst of the sparks!

The catapult whistled for a full quarter of an hour, dropping almost all the canisters of fire oil brought by the Tulip Army.

As a result, the army brought by the Golden Wolf Head General has completely collapsed.

What made the golden wolf-headed general almost vomit blood was nothing more than a few rounds of salvos of bows and arrows, plus that round of attacks from catapults that split heads and covered faces.

When his team collapsed and retreated a few miles away, he reorganized, and found that the grassland boys he had brought with him had lost thousands of them.

And behind ...... Above the distant canal, a fiery dragon is burning!

The pontoon bridge that his own people had worked so hard to build was burned down!

The golden wolf-headed general immediately made a judgment: the idea of building a pontoon bridge to cross the river by himself was no longer possible.

In this way, the tulip family announced their save! Build a pontoon bridge, brave the tulip family's bow and arrow salvo and catapult covered shot, and do it again?

There will be no effect other than to die in vain.

"Damn!!" General Golden Wolf roared angrily, and then he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "Send two thousand troops! Bypass from both sides! I don't believe that this canal can lead to the sky! Bypass this river! Let's tear those tulip guys to pieces!!"

......

"Queue!!We're ready to get out of here!!Archers check their equipment, all on board!!"

The Tulip House began to evacuate.

The officer had already noticed the movement of the steppe cavalry on the opposite side of the two wings, and he had already noticed the movement of the steppe cavalry on the opposite side. This move made the officers of the Tulip family sneer in their hearts.

Is it a roundabout? It's just a joke......

This canal is more than ten miles long, and when they come around. It will take at least two hours.

The tulip family's army began to withdraw. They didn't intend to defend the canal in the first place.

Here to teach the steppe people a hard lesson, and the order given from above has already been achieved.

The archers retreated on horseback.

As for those catapults......

Once again, the sappers of the Tulip family taught the steppe people a lesson.

They didn't plan to take all the catapults with them...... These are just wood fittings made of standard formwork, and they just need to take away some of the metal gears that make up the key components, as for the wood shelves...... Throw it away, throw it away!

Tulip's family has money!

exchanged a few piles of wood for more than a thousand lives of the steppe people......

This business is worth it!

"I really hope that golden wolf-headed general won't be too cowardly! Those guys waiting in the second line of defense are already running out of patience, hahahaha......"

The leading officer of the archers laughed and led the people to evacuate in the direction of Loulan City in an orderly manner.

......

............

The Golden Horde of the Prairie King was moving very slowly.

As the king of the grassland, even when he goes on an expedition, the Golden Horde is the core of all the grassland people's guards.

So. When the Golden Horde arrived at the canal, it was already midnight.

In the middle of the night, the king of the steppe did not immediately order the crossing of the river. At the very least, there is a basic common sense that crossing the river at night is a dangerous act.

In the golden tent of the royal court, the king of the steppe was angry.

The news from the Golden Wolf-headed General made him angrily smash his own dinner and whip the riding slave next to him.

After losing thousands of men and horses, the Golden Wolf Head finally bypassed the canal from both flanks, but when they reached the opposite bank, they did not even touch a single corner of the Tulip army.

The last news from the Golden Wolf Head General was. He had already led his army east to pursue the Tulip family's army.

The King of the Steppe was not in a hurry to advance, he made a choice: it was already very close to Loulan City, and at night, most of it went into the core area of the enemy. It's not a wise move, let's wait for news from the Golden Wolf Head General. In any case, he had tens of thousands of cavalry, and pursued him. Even if you can't win, you won't have too much of a difference...... By daybreak, he could lead a large army all the way through.

But this steppe king had just drunk a bowl of goat's milk mixed with honey. When the anger in my heart has calmed down a little......

A gust of wind blew into the tent.

He turned around angrily, and was about to rebuke something when he saw his elite escort warriors prostrate at the door of the tent.

And a figure walked in slowly.

Purple robes, bright eyes, and the ...... The corners of his mouth seemed to have a faint mocking smile.

It is difficult for the King of the Prairie to describe his mood in words: when he watched his loyal warriors prostrate in front of others, he watched this man walk into his royal court, but walked leisurely as if he were walking in his own backyard.

There was a faint annoyance in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack on his face.

Because...... He didn't dare!

"I've been wondering how stupid you are. But only now do I understand that your stupidity has once again exceeded my estimates. ”

The person who came looked at the Prairie King, and threw such a sentence lightly in a disdainful tone.

The Prairie King's forehead was bruised!

He was going to bow slightly, but at this moment, the anger in his heart prompted him to straighten his back, grit his teeth, and said hatefully: "Even if you are the White King, you can't insult me like this! Insult a noble king of the grassland!"

"King?"

The man in purple smiled, he put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked in front of the king of the grassland, when the distance between the two was less than two steps, he stopped, as if looking up and down the "king" in front of him. Then he spoke the next sentence:

"Maybe you have forgotten it? Or did you start to develop arrogance when you took over the military power? It seems that I need to remind you: in front of others, you are the king. But in front of me, you're just a dog...... Always. ”

After speaking, he suddenly flew up and kicked the Prairie King's heart!

The Prairie King fell to the ground and roared, and he jumped to his feet, and reached for the scimitar at his waist, but before his scimitar could go out of his body, a finger had already hit the center of his eyebrow.

Immediately, a feeling of powerlessness filled his body, and the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground with a sheath, and the whole person seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, and it hung in the air.

The king of the steppe looked at the door of his tent with grief and indignation, but those loyal subordinate guards were prostrate on the ground, trembling, and no one dared to raise their heads.

A pair of eyes were already staring at the Prairie King, and there was a hint of an almost cruel smile in his eyes.

"Do you need another reminder from me, my dear...... Hound?" (To be continued......)
