Volume 1 Chapter 65: An Army of 50,000

Samara, a small city on the border between Murowei and Jiankun, has suddenly become very lively these days, but this kind of excitement is not the kind of prosperous liveliness, on the contrary, the residents of the city are now trembling and dare not even go out.

Tens of thousands of rude, irascible mercenaries suddenly rushed in, dealing a devastating blow to this small city of only a few thousand people, looting money and raping women almost every hour, the inhabitants were afraid to go out of their homes, but their houses often did not protect them, and the mercenaries would break into the doors without fear and take away all the belongings and food of these poor civilians.

There were brave young men who snuck out of the city to ask for help from the nearby Satu tribes, but the princes of Satu, after sending scouts to walk around Samagar, not only did not continue to send troops, but instead summoned all the light cavalry patrolling around the tribe back to the tribe, assuming a posture of self-defense.

There are 50,000 mercenaries, and although Satu is not weak among the various departments of Murwei, the total number of string controllers is only more than 20,000, and the princes feel that there is a huge disparity in strength.

However, after a few days, the mercenaries stopped bothering the people, because the residents' homes had been swept away, and the women who had a little bit of beauty had been divided among the mercenaries and brought back to the camp.

These energetic guys soon found another way to vent: infighting.

The walking posture of a mercenary can easily become a reason for a fight, and the Ding Ling people, the Jiankun people, the Nord people, and the Wusun people are all holding back their strength to decide who is the best and most capable of fighting in this small city.

When the man in black walked into the city gate, there was a scuffle of several hundred people in the city, with the tall blonde Nord on one side and Ding Ling on the other.

The Nords were at the outback, with twice as many Dinglings as they were, and a steady stream of reinforcements joining in, using their scimitars and short spears to attack their counterparts with giant axes and shields from all sides, knocking down their shields and then pulling them out and dismantling them.

The man in black jumped up from his horse, and a dark iron rod appeared in his hand at some point, whether it was a Nord or Ding Lingren, as long as he dared to stand in front of him, he was swept by a stick, but in just over a minute, a path was forcibly opened between the Nord and Ding Lingren.

More than twenty mercenaries were lying on the ground in pain and wailing, while their companions stood on either side, weapons in hand, and looked at the stranger with frightened eyes.

"Kill!" a tall and beautiful Nord woman suddenly attacked, and the Nord short sword in her hand stabbed straight into the back of the man in black.

The man in black didn't move, but when the blade of the Nord woman's short sword touched his clothes, it suddenly slid to the side, the woman was unstable on her footing, and she was about to fall, the man in black turned sideways and punched the woman's stomach, although she was wearing chain mail, the woman still screamed, threw away the short sword, and squatted on the ground holding her stomach.

The man in black said slowly: "The mercenaries here are all hired by me for money, and I don't care who wants to kill people, but if someone kills the mercenaries I hired, it will make me lose money." ”

A noble-looking Ding Lingren stepped forward and said, "You say you are our employer?"

The man in black put away the black iron rod and said, "I'm sorry, because I came two days late, you can call me Mr. Black." ”

grabbed a Ding Ling mercenary and said, "You take me to the City Lord's Mansion, and the rest of the people go and inform the leaders of Sabu and the mercenary groups to come and see me." ”

Sabu is a famous businessman in Ding Ling, and he is the middleman in Yunzhong's recruitment of mercenaries in Ding Ling this time, and he is actually Baibars' subordinate, of course, on the surface, he is the biggest competitor of the Baibars family in the porcelain trade, the kind of bitter and bitter one.

Yunzhong walked to the City Lord's Mansion, which was now occupied by dozens of Jiankun people, and as for its original owner, the Samaraku City Lord and his two sons were locked up in the sheepfold.

Seeing Yun Zhong swaggering into the City Lord's Mansion and politely asking them to go out, these Jiankun people were of course not happy, but soon each of them was beaten with a stick and ran out with a rolling belt.

Sabu and the leaders of the mercenary group came quickly, and when Sabu saw the clouds, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, which surprised the mercenary leaders, because Sabu made a great salute from the servant to his master.

This is also Baibars's arrangement, the purpose is to increase the mystery brought by the clouds, the clouds are secretly funny, Baibars is really a wonderful person, but this young Ding Ling master is indeed powerful, thoughtful, fortunately he regards himself as a friend, otherwise, if there is such an enemy, it is indeed a headache.

In the crowd, Yun Zhong was surprised to see the Nord female mercenary who was beaten into a shrimp by his own punch just now, it seems that this woman is actually the leader of the Nord people, but with her cultivation in the late stage of the Xuan Rank, it is really not enough among these mercenary leaders.

"Two early days of the Heavenly Rank, two peaks of the Earth Rank, and eleven late stages of the Earth Rank. Yun Zhong narrowed his eyes, although these mercenaries seem to be a rabble, but the overall strength is still quite good, no wonder with Baibars's wisdom and financial resources, he also has to be afraid of the existence of these people.

Sabu was very dedicated to introducing some of the main leaders to Yunzhong one by one, the two masters of the early stage of the Heavenly Rank, one was called Iltrixiu, Ding Lingren, the other was the Nord Athru, and the two pinnacles of the Rank were Kumo of Wusun and Weilu of Jiankun.

A twenty-five mercenary regiment, with a total strength of 52,000, including 40,000 cavalry, 12,000 infantry, of which 10,000 Nords, all infantry, Ding Ling and Wusun are all cavalry, 4,000 Jiankun people, half infantry and half cavalry, and about 20,000 heavy cavalry among the 35,000 Ding Ling cavalry, the overall strength is much higher than Yunzhong originally imagined.

"With such troops, you are really qualified to fight a few beautiful battles with Temujin offensively and defensively. Yunzhong's heart nodded secretly.

After paying the upfront fee of three million, Yunzhong led this large army towards the Sumi region, where Temujin and Sigu Sutai confronted each other.

During the days of cultivation in the Jishui area, the news in the clouds was a little closed, and after arriving at Samalu City, Yunzhong learned that Sigu Sutai really challenged Temujin, and Temujin fought alone in front of the two armies, and fought to the death.

However, Temujin refused, or rather, it was Pang Zhen who refused on behalf of Temujin: "At the martial arts tournament this spring, Sigu Sutai has fallen in front of the horse of Temujin Khan, and the general of the defeated army has the qualifications to come back again?"

However, this response was not enough to win people's trust, after all, the tournament was held in Lucheng, and the Sigu Sutai side hyped that Temujin would only play the kind of arranged fake tricks in his own home, but he did not have the courage to really fight against strong enemies on the battlefield, and Temujin was just a coward.

With the silence of Temujin's side, the morale of the Sigu Sutai army was unprecedentedly high, and the general Dayan took advantage of the situation to launch an offensive against the Temujin army, but he fell into the lure of the Temujin army, and after the fierce battle, Dayan lost more than 10,000 troops and withdrew in embarrassment.

In a fiasco, the morale of the Sigu Sutai army, which had just risen, suffered a heavy setback, and the two armies fell into a stalemate situation.

It was in this situation that the armies in the clouds joined the fray.

After learning about the situation of the two armies, Yunzhong turned around and launched an attack on a small tribe loyal to Temujin in the north, the Parhu tribe was only more than 2,000 households, men, women and children, and even slaves were all counted as more than 20,000 people, how could they have the strength to fight against this tiger and wolf army, as soon as they handed over, the Parhu tribe fled south under the leadership of the patriarch, trying to seek the protection of Temujin Khan.

However, the Parhu tribe marched with the old and weak and the livestock, but the speed was not fast, Yunzhong sent the general Iltrisius to lead the light cavalry of 5,000 to pursue at full speed, and soon caught up with the Parhu department, after a one-sided battle, only a few hundred elite cavalry of the Parhu tribe fled the battlefield with their patriarch to the south, and the remaining more than 20,000 people, more than half died under the butcher's knife of Ding Lingren, and the remaining more than 7,000 people were captured.

After destroying the Parhu tribe, Yunzhong continued to advance, and two days later, destroyed another tribe loyal to Temujin, the Osa.

This time, Yunzhong ordered Iltrisius and Cumo to outflank each with 3,000 light cavalry on two wings, cut off the escape route of the Osaac tribe, and then personally led a large army to attack the Osaac camp, and none of the more than 50,000 people of the Osaac tribe were spared, except for more than 10,000 people who were killed, and all the rest were taken prisoner.

The destruction of the two divisions in a row finally aroused the anger of Temujin, and ordered Captain Borshu Wanfu as the main general, and the two captains of Hulegu and Chahr as deputy generals, to lead an army of 50,000 to the north to fight against this army that appeared out of nowhere.

Upon learning of the arrival of this elite force, Yunzhong withdrew from the territory of the Osaac Department and retreated to the foothills of Mount Vol, taking a defensive position.

Vol Mountain is an extension of the Great Blue Wolf Mountain, the grass and trees on the mountain are sparse, and now it is the middle of winter, the snow is falling, and the Borshu army is also difficult to march, so the two armies face each other like this.

In the middle of the military tent of the mercenaries under the mountain, Yun Zhong squinted his eyes and saw that the mercenary leaders under him were arguing.

"Mr. Hei, give me 10,000 horses, and I'll go and fetch you the heads of the three captains!" said the brave general Iltri was in high spirits.

"Mr. Hei," it was Jiankun Wei Lu who spoke, "Mr. is clever, before the arrival of this heavy snowfall, he took us to copy the two tribes, and at present, our army has a large amount of livestock and food, and can spend the winter here in peace, and the supply of the Borshu army cannot be so sufficient, we will hold each other like this, after spending ten days and half a month with him, Borshu will retreat, and then our army will then cover up and kill, after all, it is all a success!"

There were endless quarrels in the tent, and most of the mercenary leaders tended to take the initiative to fight, but the three of Athru, Weilu, and Kumo all advocated holding on, waiting for the Borshu army to be unable to support itself.

"Being able to practice to such a high level of cultivation is really not a simple person. Yun Zhong thought to himself, and took a big sip of ale.
