Chapter 69: Iron Cavalry Archers

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, has been unaccustomed to Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, for many years, and relies on his special relationship with the royal family to secretly manipulate the situation of the dynasty. The officials of the dynasty, and even the royal people, were afraid of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, and only Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, thought that Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, was a villain and dared to accuse him.

Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, died on Yong'an Island, and some people who knew about the strength and personality of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, did not believe it. Shi Dewa, who has now fled to the Nine Desolation Mountains, learned and announced the truth about the death of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, although Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, has not yet shown up to admit it, but from the series of events that occurred after the royal invitation to Shi Dewa to enter the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, until the recent attack on the Nine Desolation Mountains, everything corresponded reasonably, and everyone who heard it believed it. That's why there are many soldiers who defect to the Nine Desolate Mountains, even Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, is secretly helping the Nine Desolation Mountains, and the Taiping King Meng Tai also used the action of 10,000 troops to make an appointment, clearly for the dynasty to secretly move towards the Nine Desolation Mountains.

Mengtai, the king of Taiping, set the time of the battle two months later in order to borrow 4,000 archers and iron cavalry from the king of the steppe, Chijin Bo Khan.

The khanate established by the steppe king Chijin Bo Khan was nominally owned by the Xurui Dynasty, but in fact they earned half of the khanate's total income through the exchange of war horses and silk with the dynasty. The Khanate of the steppe king Chijin Bo Khan was a vassal to the Xurui Dynasty, but the Xurui Dynasty had to pay tribute to the Khanate of the steppe king Chijin Bo Khan every year.

The Khanate of the Steppe King Chijin Bo Khan had an archery cavalry that could defeat the dynasty, and the dynasty was afraid that the steppe king Chijin Bo Khan would capture the territory of the dynasty, and the dynasty also used the Khanate of the Steppe King Chijin Bo Khan to pacify several large-scale rebels in the country several times, so the Xurui Dynasty and the Khanate of the steppe king Chijin Bo Khan formed a relationship of mutual use of the existence of the Ming monarch and the secret minister.

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, understood that the number of crossbowmen in the Nine Desolation Ridge array was very large and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, so he thought of Xiang Chijin Bo Khan, the king of the grassland, to borrow the grassland archery iron cavalry, which had the reputation of invincible archers on the mainland, to deal with the crossbowmen of the Nine Desolation Mountains.

The Taiping King Mengtai knew that the tribes led by the steppe king Chijin Bo Khan and the forest king Niwucha were nomadic and nomadic peoples, and the other five kings of the dynasty (Feng Yi, King of Nanling, Sun Xun of Liangjiang, Meng Tai, King of Taiping, Zheng Kai, King of Qiulu, and Xu Zheng, King of Xiang'e) had a natural difference, they lived in the special environment of the prairie forest, the bow was the fundamental weapon for them to hunt and wage war to plunder resources, and if they wanted to survive, they had to practice the bow and arrow.

Before the birth of a boy from the tribe of the steppe king Chijin Bo Khan, his father prepared a bow for him, and when the child was a few years old, he began to practice drawing a bow and archery, and then practicing horse archery after stepping down to shoot an arrow, and practiced riding and archery skills all day long. By the time the child reached adulthood, he became a skilled archer.

There were many archers in the million-strong army of Feng Yi, King of Nanling, Sun Xun of Liangjiang, Mengtai, King of Taiping, Zheng Kai, King of Qiulu, and Xu Zheng, King of Xiang'e, but their riding and archery skills were far inferior to the 300,000 archers and iron cavalry of Chijin Bo Khan, King of the Grassland.

In order to ensure that he could borrow archers and iron cavalry, Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, personally led his guards across the steppe to meet the king of the steppe, Chijin Bo Khan.

Chijin Bo Khan was very familiar with the Taiping King Mengtai, and he recognized the martial character of the Taiping King Mengtai very much, so he got along well with the Taiping King Mengtai.

Chijin Bo Khan learned of the intention of the Taiping King Mengtai, and readily agreed to lend the Taiping King Mengtai 5,000 archers and iron cavalry. Then Chijin Bo Khan arranged a banquet in the palatial tent and invited Mengtai, the king of Taiping, to drink.

The banquet was set up, and the Chijin Bo Khan ordered someone to invite Amugan Gushi. After a while, a short, dark-faced old man came to the tent. Chijin Bo Khan introduced to the Taiping King Mengtai: "This Amugan Gushi is my national teacher, he is the most beloved person in our steppe, and he is a great monk of the Rodan Po Dynasty. ”

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, hurriedly stood up and saluted to Amugan and said, "Monk, I have heard the name for a long time, and I have saluted you." ”

King Mengtai of Taiping knew that many years ago, Emperor Zhou Tianming, the head of the palace, Zhang He, went to the Luo Danpo Dynasty to invite four eminent monks to preach Buddhism.

King Mengtai of Taiping had seen two eminent monks from the Rodan Po Dynasty, one was Gaya who became the leader of Buddhism in the capital, and the other was the servant of the leader of Buddhism in the south, while he had not seen the other two eminent monks, and he could not have imagined that he would see the third eminent monk of the Rodan Po Dynasty in the big tent of Chijin Bo Khan today.

The Taiping King Meng Tai had done a good job of borrowing the archers, and he was so happy that he drank bowl after bowl, and finally he got drunk.

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, had been hurrying for several days, but he was very tired and drunk, and he slept until the afternoon of the next day.

When Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, woke up from his tent, he went to the big tent to find Chijin Bo Khan and sent archers for him.

Chijin Bo Khan's subordinates told the Taiping king Meng Tai that the khan had gone hunting in the mountains and would not return until evening.

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, had no choice but to return to the tent and wait for the return of Chijin Bo Khan, who was anxious. Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, planned to lead the archers of Chijin Bo Khan back to the Taiping palace tomorrow, and then organize the archers into an army of 10,000 for training.

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, waited alone in the tent for the return of the Khan, and after a while someone brought him wine, meat, and cakes. Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, was also hungry, so he ate and drank in large gulps.

When Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, had eaten and drunk enough, he went out of the tent again and went to the big tent of Chijin Bo Khan to inquire about the news.

The subordinate of Chijin Bo Khan said: "Lord, the Khan usually went out hunting, and he has already returned at this time, but I don't know why he has not returned today. ”

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, had to go back to the tent to wait, but it was getting dark, and the Chijin Bo Khan still did not return.

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, simply stood outside the big tent of Chijin Bo Khan and waited for the khan, and the lantern was lit outside the big tent.

After a while, a large group of people approached the big tent of the Red Jin Bo Khan from a distance.

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, hurriedly ran up and saw a large group of people hugging around the wooden frame carried by four people, and there was a person lying on the wooden frame. King Meng Tai of Taiping squeezed away everyone and saw that the person lying on the wooden frame was none other than Chijin Bo Khan.

The interpreter brought by the Taiping King Meng Tairang came forward to inquire and found out that the Chijin Bo Khan had fallen from his horse when his horse was rushing down the hillside, and then rolled down the hillside and crashed into a tree.

After Chijin Bo Khan was carried into the big tent, Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, took a look through the light and saw that Chijin Bo Khan had blood on his forehead and his face was ugly.

After a while, the medical officer came to the big tent to check on the Khan's condition, only to see the medical officer shaking his head vigorously.

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, asked the interpreter to come forward to inquire, and learned that Chijin Bo Khan was seriously injured in his internal organs, and his head hit a tree, and he was seriously injured, and if he was unlucky, it would be difficult to wake up.

When Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, heard that Chijin Bo Khan was so seriously injured, his heart was cold: I am afraid that this archer will not be able to borrow.

The Taiping king Mengtai stayed in the big tent of Chijin Bo Khan for two more days, and then said goodbye to the Khan's family and left the steppe.

As soon as the Taiping King Mengtai left, he only showed his face on the day that the Taiping King Mengtai came, and walked into the big tent of the Chijin Bo Khan with a calm expression.

For the next six months, Chijin Bo Khan was in a state of semi-coma and half awakening, and Amugan was almost always by Chijin Bo Khan's side. The only two days that Amukan did not accompany the Khan was the two days when Emperor Zhou Tian came to the Khan's tent. At that time, Chijin Bo Khan showed symptoms of critical illness, and the people of the entire steppe were in a state of panic and sadness, and Emperor Zhou Tian did not say anything about wanting to borrow 20,000 archers to deal with the soldiers of the Nine Desolation Mountains.

As soon as Emperor Zhou Tian left, Amugan returned to the Great Tent of Chijin Bo Khan.

At the critical moment, the powerful Chijin Bo Khan forces did not help Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, and Zhou Tian, the emperor of the Nine Desolations, to deal with the troops of the Nine Desolations.

This turned out to be planned by Amugan, and even Emperor Zhou Tian did not see the flaw, and a borrowing of troops from Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, just paved the way for deceiving Emperor Zhou Tian.
