1617 Legacy of the Battle (1)
"Attention, cavalry!" The black cavalry that came out in front of him made the Dongting cavalry who were bending their bows and shooting in a commotion, and the rapid rain of arrows just now even paused, not only the Slavs didn't expect it, but even the Dongting people didn't expect it,
The people on the longwall side will suddenly make a move at this moment, and the timing is so accurate,
The Slavs collapsed, and the archers in the Eastern Court who had completed several rounds of rapid shooting were already feeling heavy in their arms at this time, and the density of the arrow clusters was not as dense as before
The morale of the Slavs, completely brought out by the 2,000 patrol cavalry, marched!" Braving the oncoming cluster of arrows, countless Slavs, fearlessly charging in the direction from which the cluster of arrows came, black and overwhelming,
Someone kept falling down with an arrow, but no one hesitated anymore, holding the corpse of his companion forward, and even many Slavic slaves who were originally holding a small wooden shield threw away the wooden shield very fiercely at this time, just to be able to rush to the Eastern Court cavalry as quickly as possible, the bow of the Eastern Court cavalry was invincible, but the melee ability was not very good, countless Slavs turned around from the direction of the long wall,
This sudden change, even the fat man did not expect, when a group was forced to a dead end, the explosive power of the desperate battle, not inferior to the real elite of the army, the fat man walked down the city wall, the battle situation has been decided, it is not interesting to continue to watch, suddenly sent cavalry to rescue the Slavs who should have been the enemy, the fat man did not have a trace of favor to ask for returns,
This time, the Dongting people appeared on the northern border, and judging from the current battle, the number of Dongting cavalry is not large, not even less than five thousand, but no one dares to guarantee that there will be no army capable of slaughtering the city and destroying the country.
Save the Slavs, and you can easily know what is going on with the Dongting people. If it is just a small military test, the fat man will wait for the reinforcements from the rear to arrive, and immediately wave his army to attack beyond the long wall, after all, the long wall defense line is still too thin, the fat man is considering whether to take this opportunity to expand the northwest coast sphere of influence to the Slavs,
At this time, on the side of the Dongting people, the shooting of the Dongting shooter had begun to show panic, and the arrows were still flying. But the accuracy and strength are not as good as before, in the face of the overwhelming, like a flood poured back the Slavs, the faces of the archers of the Eastern Court also began to panic, the military orders of the people of the Eastern Court are extremely harsh, and these three thousand archers are all from the same tribe, although they found that the form was reversed, but before the order was issued, the archers still continued to shoot arrows. Still holding on to the spot, "Don't mess with yourself! Even if the other party has cavalry, sheep can't change into wolves" The voice of the scorn echoed in the archer of the East Court, in fact, when the black cavalry came out with an imposing attitude. The experienced Thousand Knife Tent already knew that it was time to retreat, and he knew very well that 3,000 East Court shooters. It is easy to suppress the tens of thousands of Slavs who have endured days of starvation and have only thin clothes, and will be completely destroyed at the slightest setback,
But definitely not in a short time. Defeat 2,000 black cavalry with high fighting spirit, since it cannot be defeated, a head-to-head confrontation is asking for a dead end, once it is dragged into the chaos of cavalry collision and melee, the cavalry under his command is not necessarily the opponent of the other party, not to mention the tens of thousands of Slavs swarming behind the opponent, it is enough to tear all the 3,000 Dongting cavalry to pieces, "Guang Jili, you immediately lead a thousand cavalry to cover the withdrawal with my left side, and block the flank of the enemy's cavalry from approaching" Mi'er Jiti quickly gave an order, calmly arranged and retreated, worthy of the Dongting Thousand Swords Tent that had experienced many battles, and the situation in front of him was out of control, which only made Gu Bo's face ripple slightly, and he raised his hand and ordered loudly to a young and heroic cavalry captain behind him
"Yes, Patriarch" The young cavalry captain nodded respectfully and left, leading a thousand cavalry towards the flank, and the other Eastern Court cavalry chose to stop drawing their bows, and they were ready to turn their horses' heads,
At this moment, a white line suddenly shot out, hitting the back of one of the Eastern Court cavalrymen,
"This is?" Just when the Eastern Court cavalry was surprised, more arrow clusters hit with the sound of tearing wind, and several Eastern Court cavalry fell off their horses, seeing that the black-armored cavalry lined up in a line was like magic, and took out a strangely shaped long-handled bow from their backs,
100 meters, shoot
Sadins, who led the patrol cavalry to charge, saw that the Dongting cavalry was about to run, and hurriedly raised his hand and shouted, the four hooves of the war horse were raised, and the dazzling cold light also hit like raindrops, and the infantry crossbows of the two thousand patrol cavalry shot out at the same time, like a light curtain attacked, "Bang Bang" The sharp and powerful crossbow arrows pierced into the body of the Dongting cavalry wearing only leather armor, and a group of people turned on their backs, and the Dongting cavalry, who had always been accustomed to bullying the enemy with a bow, finally met the opponent who was also long-range,
Caught off guard, the arrows on the horses fell, and the cavalry above was shot over a row, and more than three hundred Dongting cavalry rolled down from their horses, penetrating the tail of the arrow clusters of their armor, and the tail of the arrows of the white flowers trembled in the morning wind, like a blooming white flower, "Bastard!" A young man from the East Court who was riding on a horse took off the curved bow in his hand again, stretched out his bow and arrows, and left alone at the back of the retreating team,
"Brother Mi'er Jin, what are you doing, didn't you hear the order?Immediately lead the main force to leave!" The angry horse ran over and shouted an order to his son who stayed behind the team, "No, as the heir of the patriarch, I am looking for the main force of the palace!" Brother Mi'er Jin resolutely pulled out the compound bow in his hand, refused to compromise at all, and shot an arrow at a black-armored cavalryman in the distance. The cluster of arrows hit the thick iron on the chest of this black-armored cavalryman, and it was very regrettable to bounce off, Brother Mir Jin pulled out the curved bow in his hand again, and the sharp wolf-tooth arrow moved slowly with the movement of a black cavalryman, this arrow, he was confident that it would shoot directly through the neck of the black-armored cavalryman, and no matter how thick the armor was, it was a weakness in the neck position, "Stupid guy, do you want our father and son to die here, leave immediately, don't you understand?" Just as he was about to let go of the bowstring, as a heavy hand very unceremoniously suppressed the cluster of arrows of Brother Jin,
With an annoyed face, he slapped his self-righteous son fiercely, this Thousand Knife Tent of the Dongting Empire, a rare face looked at his son angrily, gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Take someone away immediately, otherwise." I'll kill you right now."
"Father!" Brother Jin was stunned by a slap, his eyes were bloodshot, his nose was agitated, his rapid breathing made a fluttering sound, the bow in his hand was lowered, but his face still carried the stubbornness of disobedience, "The interests of the tribe are always greater than personal interests, and the wings of the eagle should be spread out on the battlefield, isn't this what you have taught me since I was a child? I don't need you to worry about it" Mi'er Ji'er glared at him angrily, and his strange and murderous eyes even made Brother Mi'er Jin feel that he didn't know the person in front of him,
Is such a cowardly person still the father of the Thousand Knife Tent who makes the entire tribe proud? In the mind of Brother Mi'er Jin, he still remembers that when he fought against a certain tribe, his father, with one man and one bow, in order to cover the retreat of the clansmen. After six days and six nights with more than 200 fierce enemies, he was finally hit by six arrows, and even the enemies who pursued him all the way thought he was dead, but his father still survived. "Father wants to use Guangjili to come to the queen of the palace! I know that in my father's heart, I have always been inferior to him!"
A jealous figure flashed in Brother Mi'er's mind, and the corners of his mouth smiled bitterly, he knew that his talent was inconspicuous in the clan. Whether it's archery or horseback riding, it's very ordinary, and to be able to serve as a patriarch is a reluctance. If you have to say anything special, it is that he is the son of the patriarch, but the heroic land of the grassland is destined to be full of heroes, just like Guang Jili, who was entrusted with the flank responsibility by the Mier Jiti just now,
It's completely different from himself, riding a horse at the age of 4, opening a bow at the age of six, and having the reputation of a longbow and fast horse at the age of eighteen, the arrow is like a meteor catching the moon, and an arrow can hit the flagpole at the top of the tent from a hundred meters away, and it is only a matter of time before he is far from the top marksman, and his prestige in the tribe is very high, and he is the idol of countless girls in the clan, and even some of the old people in the clan think that Guangjili is a genius given to the tribe by the god of the grassland,
As a peer, Guang Jili's ability is obviously stable on his own, even the side of the extraordinary task, his father also let Guang Jili do it, one faction is a thousand cavalry, and the cavalry he commands is only 200 horses, "Guang Jili has nothing to do with this matter!"
Mier Jiti stared at his dejected son, a trace of guilt flashed in his angry eyes, from childhood to adulthood, he has let too much responsibility on his son with mediocre talent, not the material of the marksman, it is he who let him shoot 1,000 arrows a day in the cold winter, not the talent of horseback riding, Brother Mier Jin tied his legs to the horse, and once he got on the horse for seven days, until he got off the horse, he became unable to walk,
"It seems that you still don't understand!" Mir Jiti sighed solemnly, raised his head with burning eyes, looked at the black cavalry attacking in the distance, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice, "Since you consider yourself the heir of the patriarch, then I will give you a chance now,
I allow you, as the patriarch, to make a judgment that is in line with the situation, whether to lead the tribe to evacuate now, or to leave alone to break the queen, whether to let all the three thousand tribesmen die thousands of miles away, let the tribe mourn, or take them back, to return to the warm home, to the wife and children, to the old and the young."
Brother Mi'er Jin was a little confused by the sudden change, and let himself make a judgment at such a critical moment, which is definitely not in line with his father's style in the past, Brother Mi'er Jin glanced at the opposite side, the black-armored cavalry was like a dragon, gritted his teeth, and said decisively, "I will choose to evacuate, but I will be responsible for the queen of the palace, just like the decision you made at the beginning!"
Mi'er Jiti looked at Brother Mi'er Jin with a resolute face, and sneered, "After breaking it alone, just your archery skills, did you break it?, do you want to hide under my protection for the rest of your life?" "Assault!"
The black cavalry of the other side let out a roaring shout, the neat jumping of the war horse and the neat movement of drawing out the weapon, the Falcon patrol cavalry threw away the cumbersome infantry crossbow, and all drew out the weapons of the hand-to-hand combat, in the sunlight it was like suddenly revealing a glorious river, skilled horsemanship and well-trained skills, showing that these black-armored cavalry are elite cavalry that have been in battle for a long time, and this is definitely an opponent capable of fighting with the cavalry of the Eastern Court!"Even if I die, I will use the corpse to drag the enemy's horses' hooves!" Mi'er Jiti snorted very dissatisfied with the answer, and said coldly, "If you are still the heir of the patriarch, I will not hesitate to let you be the heir, but now, you are no more! So you should evacuate immediately!" "It seems that what I said is right, in my father's heart." Guang Jili is more suitable to be the patriarch than me!" At this moment, although his eyebrows were already burning, Brother Jin rarely showed a relaxed wry smile, "Thank you father, I can finally put down my duties for many years, such a burden is really tiring, just like when you tied my legs to the back of a horse, for seven days, I even forgot how to walk, and now it's the same, not anymore." I won't be an ordinary clansman anymore, let me be the queen of the palace, at least, I can still die with a trace of vanity!" "Vanity death, shouldn't it be your destination, if you are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of evacuation? Guang Jili is stronger than you, but he can't be the patriarch!" What is needed is someone who can endure humiliation and bear the responsibility for the continuation of the entire clan, not a hero who is too prominent! It is a pity that Guangjili is such a hero. If he becomes the patriarch, I will really get the head of the Mur tribe, and I won't let you be the queen because you are no longer the heir of the patriarch. You are the patriarch, and from now on, you are the patriarch of the Mi'er tribe. You're dead, what do you want the Child's Department to do?" "Why did you choose me, father!"
Brother Jin'er's unexpected eyes were not only confused, but also a strong sense of crisis, although he was the future patriarch heir, but his father's sudden move, the meaning here contained too many cold things,
The inheritance of the battle, which will only be used in the most critical times in the East Garden,
Under normal circumstances, there is only one patriarch in the battle inheritance in the past generations, the father dies and the son replaces, or the brothers inherit each other, that is to say, one of them and his father may die quickly, which is like a black-armored cavalry that suddenly kills, disrupting his formation "Can't you see it yet?"
"In this battle, Zamu Hebi obviously has a secret intention, losing these 30,000 slaves, or unable to break through this section of the city wall, even if we can return to the base camp, Zamu Hebi will also take advantage of this incident to investigate the responsibility of the Min'er Department" "The war is unfavorable, plus the slaves defected, according to the military regulations of the Eastern Court, in order to avoid the war tribe in order to reduce their own casualties and fill the city with slaves, the tribe that took the slaves to fight must compensate the same slaves according to the loss of slaves and still fail"
"If the number is not enough, you must use the clan to fill in, the population of my Mir is only 20,000, this time the Slavic slaves are 30,000, even if all of them are filled in, it is not enough, Zamu Hebi used this excuse to swallow the Jiyan Department in one fell swoop, and this time, I am the patriarch of the Mi'er tribe, this responsibility can only be borne by me, Zamu Hebi will inevitably use me to threaten you, to achieve the goal of annexing the entire Mir Ministry, if we resist, he will use the Cang army to kill us all"
"Then we can choose not to go back!" said Brother Jin with an ugly face
"Don't you go back? Do you really think that the eyes of the Zha Mu Hebi are blind? The elite of the 20,000 Cang army that crisscrosses the steppe is an ornament? There is a long wall in front and a Cang army in the back, in fact, how can we be better than these Slavic slaves? Our bows and arrows are pointed at the Slavs, and the bows and arrows of the Cang army are pointed at us! I ordered the killing of the Slavs in order to force them to rebel, so that we can have a chance to face the situation of being defeated, and the scattered cavalry is the most difficult to track" "In this way, we can immediately evacuate in the form of a rout!" Brother Erjin's face was abrupt, no wonder his father forced the Slavs to attack the city so much from the beginning, and he didn't want to be the queen of the palace, all in order to create the illusion of being defeated, "It's not us, it's you!"
The corners of the mouth full of disdain pursed the corners of the mouth, and said with a wry smile: "This defeat is the best opportunity for you to lead everyone back, with this prestige, it is enough for you to truly become the patriarch in everyone's minds, in order to attract the attention of the Cang army, I will personally go to Zamu Hebi after returning to the camp to ask for guilt,
"You will lead all the clansmen to divide into several routes, bypass the base camp and return to China directly, as long as it drags on for a day, the scouts of the Cangjun army will not be able to keep up with you" "You must remember, it doesn't matter if I can survive or not, lead the best warriors of the 3,000 Mir tribe back to this land of right and wrong, as long as you return to the empire, with the protection of Lord Zuo's goodwill, even His Royal Highness the Second Prince will not make a move for the time being!
Raising his head and looking into the distance, there was a rare trace of calm in his eyes
"I once imagined that when your sister got married, I would pass on the position of the patriarch to you, so that you and your sister could be a mile away, relying on the big tree of Lord Zuo's goodwill, step by step, let the Mi'er Department embark on the road of real strength,
But now, not a single qiē is impossible,
Chaotic war, the grassland just 15 years of peace was broken again, I don't know how many ambitious tribes will rise, will be ruined, my contempt is just an inconspicuous grass in this huge storm, without that kind of strength, can only seek self-preservation, so more need a patriarch who can know how to forbear,
I just want the tribe to grow like grass sprouts after this cold winter that swept the entire grassland!" (To be continued......)
