Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 250 Each has its own words
In the northern frontier of Great Xia, the southern region of the ranger was originally blocked by five hundred miles of sand sea, and now the eldest prince of the ranger is leading the 50,000 elite rangers under his command, wanting to cross the five hundred miles of sand sea to the north and return.
It seems to be a united team of light riders, but in fact, they have their own thoughts.
Tokhtar had listened to the advice of his guru, and it was not advisable to let these 50,000 light horsemen suffer too much loss before inheriting the throne of the rangers.
The master seems to be thinking about Tokhtar, but in fact he cares about the hundred and ten boys and girls who have been swept back from Great Xia, Tokhtar promised to leave a pure place for the guru to help him practice alchemy, and these hundred and ten boys and girls of Daxia are the best cultivation guides, the dragon descending tripod that was almost taken away by Tianmo last time, although it is still there, but the master feels that one more day of delay will be more risky, not to mention that last time in order to retaliate for Daxia's ambush in the nameless hill, Tokhtar has ordered the killing of two thousand prisoners of war. If they kill again, it will be the turn of these boys and girls, so the master is anxious to start refining as soon as possible.
And those elite light riders, their hearts are like arrows because they care about their families who stay in the tribe. Obviously, the looted supplies have already filled all the carriages and horses, but Prince Tokhtar has not revealed his desire to return home for a long time, counting the days, those relatives in the family should be about to run out of food.
If the lambs in the camp are forced to be consumed, it will not only affect the current livelihood, but I am afraid that in the next few decades, it will be difficult for the Northern Wilderness Ranger tribe to recover.
and Tucker, Tohta's personal guard, always looked thoughtful, and every time Tokh called him, it seemed to wake him up from his distracted state.
When asked what he was thinking, he only said that he was a little worried about prevarication at home.
But fortunately, everyone's goal is now the same, that is, to return to their homeland as soon as possible with the stolen money and food.
The pursuers of Great Xia also felt this, these once unscrupulous thousands of miles of wolves, seeing that the chasing soldiers of Great Xia often won, now just relying on their mobility, symbolically facing the two formations, and continuing to retreat north, Ma Zheng knew that these symbolic resistance itself was a show of weakness, implying that the pursuers, everyone had no intention of living or dying, each taking what he needed,
"What Great Xia wants is victory, and what the rangers want is to be able to return north smoothly with their baggage. ”
General Chang Polu, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, looked at the battle reports in his hands one by one, and his gloomy face revealed great dissatisfaction.
"50,000 rangers and barbarians have destroyed the five cities of my northern Xinjiang, causing tens of thousands of my people in Daxia to be displaced and killed, and women have been humiliated in every way. Do you, warriors with swords in their arms, eat the food of the people, and wear the cloth woven by your sisters, give me twenty or thirty barbarian heads every day?"
In the military tent, several generals standing on both sides were the subordinates of Lu Jichuan who were brought out from Jinsha by Chang Po, plus the defeated soldiers who were collected all the way after losing the station, there are currently nearly 60,000 people. In terms of numbers, it is indeed surpassing the escaped rangers, but these defeated generals cannot be brave, plus they lose their armor and abandon their armor, and even the weapons in their hands are patchwork guys.
But Chang Poju's order to this group of soldiers, who were not considered mighty divisions, was, "Even if they cannot be annihilated, at least half of the men and horses must be killed or wounded before the rangers retreat, or the money and food they have looted must be left." ”
When Chang Poyu lost his temper, not only his face turned red, but even his snow-white beard trembled slightly, and under the shock of the tiger, he frightened all the Great Xia generals into silence.
It wasn't until Chang Poyu lost his temper and pressed his fists on the table in front of him, panting that Ma Zheng suddenly strode out of the team.
"The general was angry, and the last general thought that at present, not only should we expel the northern troubles, but the main enemy is the army of beasts from the northwest. If we can drive out these barbarians at the lowest cost, then we will have a better chance of winning against the Beast Legion......"
"Bastard!" Chang Poyu's newly calmed mood broke out again because of Ma Zheng's self-made cleverness, the wound he had broken last time because of the broken horsewhip had not been healed, this time it was a fierce whip, and under the loud sound, the brand-new horsewhip in his hand was broken in two again.
"Snort", Ma Zheng seemed to be submissive on the surface, but in fact, he secretly let out a sneer in his heart, "A handsome and incompetent, tired of the three armies, this stubborn old man relied on the Tiankui Marquis and occupied a high position, but he was just in vain, and he just vented his anger by breaking the horsewhip." ”
Chang Poyu angrily reprimanded everyone, but in fact, it was also a warning to Ma Zheng,
"My five armies of Great Xia, led by Chang Sheng, are the foundation of the empire, you should all be proud of being a member of Great Xia Chang Sheng, the glory of Chang Sheng, not only has the most elite soldiers, the most advanced ordnance, the most precious thing of our Chang Sheng, is the order and prohibition, is the unity of the brothers. In this battle, our task is to eliminate a large number of ranger barbarians, and repay the blood debt for those dead people! Ma Zheng, you can save your strength, and tomorrow, I will take my brothers to find those barbarians together to seek justice!"
"Blood debt and blood payment!"
"Long live Chang Sheng!"
......
The people in the tent were stirred up by the agitation of Chang Po, and they raised their arms and shouted, and this shout spread from the tent to the camp outside. Those low-level generals also led their subordinates to continue to join, and in the end, in the entire Changsheng station, the roars from these boiling bloody bodies resounded throughout the sky.
Only Ma Zheng, who was reprimanded, stood in place embarrassedly, wanting to shout slogans, but felt that he couldn't hold his face, so he had to pretend to hang his head and self-reflect.
Ma Zheng is one of the main forces of the Jinsha reinforcements this time, and he is also the right-hand man of Jinsha Captain Lu Jichuan. Chang Poyu knocked him several times, but unexpectedly, this thousand military captain never refused to have an epiphany, and was always dissatisfied, questioning Chang Polu's every decision.
After everyone dispersed, only the fast horse Yang Sheng, who was also the personal guard of General Chang Lao, remained, and he was angry at a newly drawn map after seeing that General Chang was still on the case, and couldn't help but persuade him kindly,
"General Chang, it's not too early, you have been taking your brothers from birth to death during this time, overworked, and I hope that the old general can take care of his body. ”
"Hmm. Chang Poyu's eyes did not leave the map in front of him, "Yang Sheng, do you think that I killed your Tianyao Captain Lu Kefa?"
When Yang Sheng heard this, he immediately became nervous and buried his head, "General Chang, where did you start." Lord Lu forced his brothers to escort General Chang Lao to abandon the city, naturally he wanted us to understand that Chang Sheng could not do without a general. ”
"Alas, it would be nice if everyone could think like that. Chang Poyu also showed a rare expression, let out a breath from his chest, and continued to ask, "Do you know why I forced everyone to intercept the ranger barbarians as much as possible?"
"Didn't the general tell us to let those barbarians know that the blood debt was repaid?"
"Yes, but not entirely. Chang Poyu finally took his eyes off the map, obviously because of the long bending over, his back was a little unbearable, while slowly supporting his waist, while patting his back with his palm, he told Yang Sheng his true intentions.
"These barbarians have never stopped harassing our Northern Frontier of Great Xia, which is why the frequent victory of our Northern Army of Great Xia has become the foundation of the five armies of the Empire. The barbarians relied on their horses to be fast and arrowy, of course, because the territory of Daxia was really vast, and the people were wantonly bullied by these barbarians. ”
"These barbarians are really hateful, don't worry, general, we will definitely repay the blood debt for the people!"
Chang Poyu shook his head, "Yang Sheng, you only said that I was here to get justice for the people." In fact, the people are the softest piece of fat in Kyushu, and whoever sees it will want to take a bite, how can the soldiers of our empire serve every justice for them?"
This sentence made Yang Sheng a little confused, why was this old man Chang a little weird today, could it be that he was confused by Ma Zheng's anger? However, looking at his expression, it didn't look like nonsense, Yang Sheng had to listen patiently.
"What Ma Zheng said is not unreasonable, the most dangerous enemy of our current Great Xia is indeed those demon beast legions in the northwest. ”
Yang Sheng was even more confused, since General Chang agreed with Ma Zheng's point of view, why did the two of them have many differences just now because of the use of troops.
"It is precisely in order to be able to withdraw as soon as possible to close the gap in the northwest, so we must now control the power of the rangers first. Otherwise, once we withdraw our troops, these barbarians of the Northern Wilderness Ranger will make a comeback, and under the involvement, our northern defense line will completely collapse. ”
This explanation made Yang Shengmao pause, but then he thought of an even more terrifying question, "General Chang, you said, are those demon beast legions in the land of not going to the land already in cahoots with these Northern Barbarians, so they will echo each other?"
"This, it's hard to say for the time being, but the Ranger Side Problem must be completely cleared so that we can concentrate on dealing with the Demon Beast Legion next. ”
"Well, if Lord Chang can be trusted, tomorrow I, Yang Sheng, am willing to lead the Changsheng horse team to fight fast and fight fast to get back the people's property that those barbarians have robbed. ”
"Okay, I'll lead the foot, and I'll follow. Note that the task of the horse team is only to drag the enemy and not to go too far from the foot horse. ”
Yang Sheng understood. ”
Here, Chang Poyu and Yang Sheng discussed the follow-up pursuit plan. On the other side, in Lu Jichuan's camp, Ma Zheng, who was disgruntled, was also discussing his next move with his backer.
"Brother Lu, I think that old man really wants to feed all our brothers from Jinsha to those ranger barbarians. Most of our brethren were infantrymen, and letting them chase the rangers' horses on two legs was obviously intended to send our brethren to their deaths. Anyway, I don't care, tomorrow I will tell my brothers not to be cannon fodder. Don't blame the adults when they arrive. If Old Man Chang takes advantage of the question, all the consequences will be borne by me Ma Zheng alone. ”
