Chapter 4 Zuixiang (Part 4) The Xi clan scouts who were following the tracks left by Li Xu and others on the snow suddenly discovered that there was a mess of tracks under their feet. After careful analysis, they determined that at least 500 war horses had been in the snow field.
He did not dare to neglect, and immediately turned back and reported the news that the other party had prepared to his own army.
After hearing the report, the leader of the Xi clan, Aijinlifu, knew that the news of the sneak attack had been leaked and quickly adjusted his strategy. He ordered his cavalry to slow down and march slowly. While continuing to approach the Su Chuan tribe's station, he was recuperating his horse power and being ready at any time.
Fight to the death with the Zhulin coalition forces that came to meet them
There are no city walls in any nomadic tribal camp, so no tribe will stick to the camp. Currently, the Xi tribe's army numbers as many as five thousand, while the Zhulin coalition has just begun training, and there are still less than three thousand soldiers and horses. Such a huge disparity between the number of soldiers and horses, even if a sneak attack
No, Suotou Xi people have no reason to defeat. Therefore, Zhilifu is ready to completely destroy the resistance of the Zhulin tribe through a head-on battle and seize the grassland near Yueya Lake in one fell swoop. Although the climate in this area is cold, the water and grass are rich.
But it is no less than Suotou Waterside. I believe that after a few years of repairs, the tribe will slowly recover from the losses caused by the Turks' expulsion.
As for the reports of the first six scouts who escaped about the opponent's superb swordsmanship and skill in shooting, Lifu believed that these were all excuses for cowards. Anyone who lost the battle would find a nice excuse for themselves.
, it seems that the braver the enemy is, the less their own responsibility will be. So Qi Lifu only listened to half of it, and waved his hand and ordered people to drag the deserters down. At the moment, the tribe is short of food, and it is useless to raise this kind of waste, so why not
Throw it in the snow and freeze to death
The response of Zhulin's coalition forces was beyond Qi Lifu's expectations. They knew that the Xi people were coming from afar, but they did not leave the stronghold to attack. Instead, they withdrew all the young men stationed on the periphery of the camp into the stronghold, and placed them outside the stronghold wall.
Nearly a hundred pyres were lit around 150 steps away, as if welcoming the attackers with a bonfire.
With the acquiescence of Qi Lifu, more than ten cavalrymen rushed to the fire to provoke, and were immediately shot through the body by strong crossbows flying from the camp.
He also carried his body and flew more than ten steps. The injured cavalryman struggled on the crossbow pole and shouted, but he didn't have the strength to pull himself off. His companion couldn't bear it, so he used a bow and arrow from a distance to add a few arrows, and then it was completely over.
his pain
After Lifu saw the power of the opponent's crossbows, he realized that he could not afford the losses of storming the camp, so he had to take the team five miles away to set up camp in the cold area on the grounds of "attacking at night, the enemy is in darkness and we are in the light".
It was freezing, where could I drive stakes in the snowy wilderness? After struggling for more than an hour, the soldiers got into the tent that they had barely managed to deal with. Before their bodies numbed by the night wind could warm up a little, something suddenly happened in the distance.
A trumpet sounded loudly, and a long fire dragon rushed straight towards the camp tent.
The soldiers of the Xi tribe were shocked. They quickly picked up their weapons and fought against the enemy troops who were carrying torches. They rushed to a position more than 200 steps away from the camp. Suddenly they stopped again, shouted and fired arrows for a while, then turned around and withdrew. When Lifu was angry again,
He laughed again, he was so angry that Zhu Fei's coalition forces were so powerful that they actually wanted to attack his own camp. He laughed because since the opponent's combat power was low, tomorrow's battle would be easy to win.
Thinking of this, he felt very happy and ordered his soldiers to seize the time to rest. When the sun rises tomorrow, the soldiers of the Zhulin tribe will immediately enter the tent with cheers. Before the leather mats under the body can warm up, the sound of horse hooves can be heard outside, and the night falls. I don’t know how many cavalry came to rob the camp.
The soldiers of the Xi tribe climbed out of their tents, bowed their bows and waited for the incoming cavalry. They circled half a distance, fired cold arrows for a while, and then fled again. Lifu became furious and ordered his soldiers not to fall asleep, and to prepare their horses, bows and arrows. , when the enemy troops came to harass them again, they were caught off guard. The soldiers suffered in the cold wind for half an hour, but the Zhuxin coalition refused to come again.
After struggling like this for most of the night, until the pink morning glow appeared on the horizon, the Xi tribe soldiers fell into a deep sleep. In their sleep, they were thinking about the endless river and lush pastures of their hometown, when another low voice came from outside the camp. the sound of horse hooves
"Here comes the harassment again, and it will never end!" Qi Lifu thought vaguely that the war between the tribes was based on each other's strength. It was already a surprise for the soldiers to travel far away like him, but he repeatedly harassed them in the middle of the night to prevent the other party from letting go. The act of sleeping is purely an injury other than a surprise.
He turned over and didn't want to get up. Now that his muscles and bones were weak, it was really hard to get up. Moreover, the Zhuxiao coalition was just harassing and would not seriously engage in a serious battle with him. Thinking about this, Qi Lifu's mind became a little confused. , suddenly, a cold wind blew into his neck
"Who!" Zhi Lifu yelled angrily, saying that although the rules are casual, breaking into Aijin (the leader)'s tent without repaying him is also a crime punishable by a hundred lashes.
"Report a heavy blow, the people have invaded the camp!" A little arrow (ten men long) with a face full of blood cried out while holding a scimitar, his body was swaying, and he might fall down at any time.
"Nonsense!" Qi Lifu retorted loudly, and his mind suddenly cleared. The sound of horse hooves coming from his ears was low and gentle. Even if the enemy attacked, the distance should be five hundred steps away. It is impossible for a horse's hoof to hit the ground within a hundred steps. this sound
A long feather replaced the small arrow, and the cold front penetrated the cowhide tent and thrust diagonally in front of Qi Lifu.
"Enemy attack!" Qi Lifu jumped up and rushed out of the tent holding a machete.
The makeshift camp set up last night was full of shouts of killing. The warriors of the Shang clan with brown-red yellow sheepskin inlaid on the edge of their armor looked heroic in the morning light. They carried scimitars, mobilized their horses, and tripled their numbers like sheep. My own soldiers from the Xi tribe were scurrying around
"Steady, steady! Reflex and fight!" Qi Lifu chopped down several of his own soldiers who were running around in an attempt to stabilize the situation. However, this idea was obviously too wishful thinking. The bodies of the soldiers who had just been awakened from their slumber It was so weak that it couldn't even lift the scimitar, and it could barely catch the opponent's horse. It was just trying to get close to death, and it had no effect at all on delaying the opponent.
Qi Lifu saw a young general wearing an iron crown and holding a wooden spear not far ahead. The young man was accompanied by a man wielding a machete. His body was full of flaws, but he was recruiting two desperate child soldiers. Although he is young, his attack power is astonishing. When Ma Tou points, his soldiers immediately collapse like snow that has been splashed with boiling water.
The Zhufei barbarians who were guarding the young men immediately followed up, constantly increasing the chaos created by the spear-wielding youths. Some Xi tribe archers tried to sneak attack the two young men from the flanks, but the arrows they fired were blocked by Zhufei guards with their leather shields. During the journey, those warriors were so brave that they would rather risk their own injuries than let two young men have their hair wiped away by arrows.
There were only more than 1,500 Zhulin Allied Forces who came to rush into the camp, but the casualties caused were horrific. Many Xi soldiers were hacked to death in the tents while still sleeping, and more Xi soldiers were killed while running.
The machete chopped him over, and blood spurted out from the cut wound like a fountain, splattering on the white snow with hot steam.
After marching in the snow for several days, they were teased by the enemy for most of the night. They were trapped and exhausted. At the time when the body was most tired in the early morning, the Xi soldiers were as weak as lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Xu Dayan held a temporarily modified long weapon in his hand.
Spears, rushing back and forth, like entering an uninhabited land. Although the wooden poles and hard spears are not as easy to use as the horse that he has soaked for many years, in his hands they are also more lethal than the scimitars used by the Xi people.
In no time, often as soon as the two sides met, the scimitar was opened by Xu Dayan with the tip of his spear, and then the spear in Xu Dayan's hand was like a poisonous snake, piercing their throats.
Several Xi clan generals tried to break through from Li Xu's position and besieged Xu Dayan. They had many years of combat experience. They could see that Zhu Fei's attack queue used Xu Dayan and others as arrows, and Li Xu was the sharp arrow.
The only flaw in the arrow is to break the arrow, so that the Aijin on our side can have a chance to gather the remaining soldiers. Otherwise, the five thousand brothers will definitely be dead.
Before most of the people could rush to Li Xu, they were knocked down by Aslan with feather arrows. Those who fought with Li Xu on the way were either forced to panic by his one-life-for-one-life fighting style, or were knocked down by Xu Da.
With a twitching eye, Lengzi swiped a spear and smashed the horse's back. No matter what situation he faced, the warriors of the Sing tribe around Li Xu would not give their opponents a second chance. They rushed up and chopped them down with scimitars.
"Don't be obsessed with fighting, look for the Chinese army." Xu Da eyes rushed and ordered everyone.
The best result of hijacking a camp is to kill or injure the enemy's general. As long as the opponent's command center is smashed to pieces, no matter how powerful the army is, it will lose its combat effectiveness. Moreover, the Xi people from the Suotou River have no chance of being powerful. If they really
If you have the courage, you will never be driven away from your homeland by the Turks easily.
"The Xi people's generals like to wear black mink fur. The more gorgeous the fur, the higher the rank!" A'silan raised his hand and released an arrow, knocking over a Xi people general who was organizing a resistance in the distance. He turned his head and pointed at
Xu Dayan reminds
The hierarchies within the grassland peoples are not as strict as those in the Central Plains. Many nobles and ordinary herdsmen wear the same attire. This habit has also been extended to the military. Almost all Xi people are wearing black leather clothes. At first glance, they look very
People in their own tribe can't tell who has a higher level and who has a lower level.
As a result, the effectiveness of Xu Dayan's tactics was greatly reduced. He led his troops to disperse many hastily organized resistance teams of the Xi people. He did not discover the location of the Xi clan leader's camp.
"There is a large woolen bamboo pole there!" Su Chuoxier, who was in the center of the team and was responsible for overall planning, shouted loudly. This battle was already a ruin for the Su Chuan tribe. If you win, you will live, and if you lose, you will die. When you learn about the Xiren tribe,
After discovering the intention of Zhu Xi's coalition forces to deal with them, and the news that Xing's army came to question them, many elders of nearby tribes immediately regretted that they had listened to Su Chuoxil's "bewitchment" and allowed their own tribesmen to come to die.
The determined clan leader even lamented that "the plan is exposed and this battle will be lost." He tried to evacuate his clan members first, but Xu Dayan used harsh words to suppress the elders, while Aslan also used Li Xu to survive.
The fact that he killed one opponent and scared away six opponents proves that the holy wolf has begun to show its power.
"Six of us can fight twenty-one of them. Now that we have nearly three thousand people, what's the point of fearing that the enemy will come with ten thousand troops?" When Xu Dayan was anxious, he opened his mouth and said a string of Chinese words.
After his words were translated into Turkic by Eru, the meaning became, "Six warriors from the Suchu tribe showed no fear in the face of twenty-one Xi scouts. They are both descendants of the White Swan, and warriors from other tribes."
Are they all just fearless wild ducks?"
The elders of each tribe were embarrassed by "Xu Dayan's words" and had to reluctantly agree to let Su Chuixil lead the army in a battle. If they won the first battle, they would hand over all command to Chief Xier. If they failed in the first battle, all tribes would be killed.
The soldiers withdrew to their respective camps to protect their own tribesmen. At the same time, Su Chuosir went to Zhishubu to plead guilty and asked in the name of the people. The Great Khan Zhishiba sent a messenger to the Ashina family of the Turkic tribe, and they came forward to uphold justice.
"Those who don't want to separate cattle, sheep and herder slaves, even if they stay in the camp and want the enemy to witness the bravery of the descendants of the White Swan, come with me to fight!" Su Chuoxil said this under the instruction of Xu Dayan,
Then start reorganizing the team
There were more than 2,200 warriors willing to accompany him in battle. Su Chuoxil eliminated the waste and retained the best, and selected 1,500 people. According to the usual training methods, he formed 15 hundred-man teams and then followed Xu Da's training.
With a clever strategy, these 1,500 men were allowed to rest early, and the work of harassing the enemy was handed over to the more than 700 warriors who were eliminated and had weaker physical strength.
Xu Dayan told the seven centurions responsible for harassing the enemy through Eru's interpreter that not to let them go to fight was not because they looked down on their combat effectiveness, but for the final victory of this battle, someone must make sacrifices. Harassing the enemy is the most dangerous and dangerous thing.
It is a tiring task. Once the enemy troops leave camp to counterattack, they will immediately turn from harassment into a deadly battle. They will not be allowed to retreat unless the effect of tiring the enemy troops is achieved.
The warriors were so excited by what he said that they wished they could all die in front of the enemy, so the two harassing attacks reached the edge of Xi Ren's camp, giving the enemy the feeling that thousands of troops were coming to rob the camp.
Everyone's efforts were not in vain. At dawn, the Zhulin coalition saw hope of victory.
Xiren Aijin's woolen banner was not far ahead, and a man wearing a black mink coat who was roaring under the banner must be their clan leader Su Chuoxil. The shouts were relayed by the warriors.
At the head of the team, Xu Dayan immediately rode his horse and held a spear, blowing toward the woolen scroll like the wind.
"Hold it!" Qi Lifu shouted, hearing that his voice had changed the tone. At this moment, he no longer expected to turn defeat into victory. He only hoped that the soldiers could block the young man holding the spear so that he could adjust his tactics.
Countless Xi tribe soldiers rushed towards the Chinese army, one after another, using their flesh and blood to carry Xu Dayan's spear. Their loyal and brave actions achieved some results. About fifty steps away from the woolen banner, Xu Dayan
The horse in the eye was blocked by the mountain of corpses. Li Xu, Aslan and others slashed at them with their knives, leaving blood and flesh flying everywhere. However, they could not cut a passage to get closer to the opponent's coach.
When he got the opportunity, Qi Li Fu Da Aijin immediately adjusted his tactics. Taking advantage of the chaos ahead, he jumped on his BMW, picked up his sword, turned around and ran away.
Countless Xi tribe soldiers gave up their opponents and fled in embarrassment after Qi Lifu's horses.
The human wall made of flesh and blood collapsed. Li Xu rushed forward and chopped off Xi Ren's woolen banner with one knife.
"Attached!" The cheers from all around were like thunder.
The young man stood with a knife in his hand, his face covered with blood showed whether he was happy or sad.
