Chapter 481 On the land of Rong Di, the Iron Eagle Ruishi once again drew his sword!
"promise."
Nodding, Tie San cupped his hands towards Master Sima and said in a solemn tone: "The purpose of our existence is to protect General Ying, so naturally we will not forget our responsibilities."
"What's more, the Iron Eagle Warriors are the best in the world, so naturally we will not harm the glory of the Iron Eagle Warriors!"
Hearing this, Master Sima was slightly startled, and his expression became extremely complicated. He knew the Iron Eagle Warrior as well as anyone else.
The Iron Eagle Warriors are the elite of the elite who were selected and trained by the Qin general Sima Cuo based on Wu Qi's method of training Wei soldiers.
Master Sima knew that the Iron Eagle warriors not only had extraordinary swordsmanship, but were equally proficient in horse and foot combat, and were equally skilled in any weapon they got their hands on.
At that time, the most elite soldiers in infantry warfare were the soldiers of Wei State, who were called "Wei soldiers" in the world. In cavalry warfare, the "Knights with Huswords" of Zhao State and the "Martial Arts Knights" of Qi State were both considered elite.
The new army after the Qin Dynasty's reform came out in the battle to regain Hexi, and was exclaimed as a warrior by the world.
Sima Cuo used this name to create the Iron Eagle Warriors: when dismounting and fighting on foot, the criterion is to surpass the Wei soldiers, and when mounting the horse, the criterion is to surpass the Zhao Qi knights and the Xiongnu Hu cavalry.
The method of extracting the iron eagle warriors is extremely demanding: the first is the physical test.
At that time, Wu Qi trained Wei soldiers to hold a spear in hand, carry 20 long arrows and a hard bow with iron tires, and carry three days of army food at the same time, with a total weight of about 50 kilograms. They could run for a hundred miles continuously.
Only those who immediately engage in fierce battle can become soldiers.
In addition to this, Sima Cuo added a full armor, a wide dagger, a fine iron dagger and a cowhide shield, with a total weight of about eighty kilograms. Only after passing this level can he enter various martial arts.
.
In infantry combat, one must be first-rate among the infantry of Qin's new army; in cavalry combat, one must be first-rate among the cavalry of Qin's new army;
There are battle formations and battles, and there are battles with various weapons.
In this way, almost everyone who can become an Iron Eagle Warrior will become an invincible warrior!
At that time, the Qin State's new army numbered 200,000, but the Iron Eagle Warriors only had 1,600.
The so-called elite soldiers are nothing more than that.
Later, as the Qin Dynasty became more elite, the number of Iron Eagle warriors also increased, but Master Sima knew that this number would never exceed 30,000.
Because the Iron Eagle Warriors not only protect the King of Qin, they also need to serve as elite soldiers and guards among the three armies of Qin.
Because of this, when the King of Qin sent two thousand Iron Eagle warriors to Gongzi Gao, it had a huge impact on the entire Da Qin court and even the entire Da Qin hierarchy.
Because the Great Qin warriors, apart from guarding the commander when the army was on an expedition, had always only protected the King of Qin. This had become a consensus among the people of the Great Qin Dynasty.
It's like a convention or an unwritten rule.
After the thoughts in his mind fell, Master Sima patted Tie San on the shoulder and said with emotion: "I have never doubted the combat power of the Iron Eagle Warriors. Because I will not doubt the ancestors, but the identity of the general is important. Please, please!"
Having said that, Master Sima bowed deeply to Tie San and others, then stood up and left. After walking ten steps, Master Sima suddenly stopped and turned to face Tie San and others with a smile.
"Forgot to tell you? The ancestor's name is Sima Cuo!"
.........
"General Sima Cuo?"
For a moment, the entire Iron Eagle Warriors were stunned.
Naturally, they knew the importance of the word "Sima Cuo" among the Iron Eagle warriors.
Sima Cuo was the founder of Tie Ying Rui. None of them thought that Sima Shi was actually his descendant? At this moment, Tie San had an idea in his mind.
As long as there is still breath left, he will keep Ying Gao safe and sound.
Over the years, because of Ying Gao's existence, their lives have been more comfortable than those of other Iron Eagle warriors? And their parents, wives, and children all have enough property.
After all, in Great Qin, everyone knows how kind and generous Ying Gao is to his subordinates.
After walking out of the shogunate, he saw a group of stunned Iron Eagle warriors. Ying Gao was puzzled for a moment and said directly: "What are you doing standing still? Are you ready to evacuate? Attack Fanhe!"
Time waits not for us!
At this time, Ying Gao had no time to explore what happened, which made Iron Eagle Rui so distracted. He had to go to Fanhe as quickly as possible to support the Imperial Guard.
Compared to the life and death of the Imperial Guard, the Iron Eagle Warrior's loss of consciousness is just a trivial matter. This matter can be explored after supporting the Imperial Guard.
"I've seen General Ying!"
........
"drive!"
The army rushed to attack, and on the land of Rong Di, the Iron Eagle warrior drew his sword again.
Riding on horseback, facing the setting sun and sunset, this reminded Ying Gao of the first time he entered Jiuyuan. Because he was too young, he had to ride a chariot on the grassland.
After many years, he is no longer the little kid he used to be.
If the battle in Jiuyuan was just Ying Gao's debut battle, a small test, then this time it will be Ying Gao's battle of glory, because he knows in his heart that once this battle is won, it will open up a new chapter for Great Qin.
The territory expanded by nearly one-third.
Moreover, the Hexi Corridor will be opened, and the perspective of war will be extended to Central Asia and even Europe.
This is the most important thing for Da Qin.
What's more, there is a huge iron ore vein and oil vein here, as well as countless war horses, cattle and sheep. As long as we capture this place, not only will Great Qin's war horses be no longer scarce, but the same cattle and mutton will also be available.
Supplied everywhere.
This battle has great strategic significance and practical benefits.
This is the reason why Ying Gaofei decided to personally take action and gather hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the northwest first.
........
"General, the information has been clearly investigated. The tribe here is called Fanhe. There are about 20,000 to 30,000 young people in the tribe. It is a tribe of about 60,000 people!"
Ying Huang glanced at Ying He Tu and felt a little worried: "General, these Rongdi people have been on horseback since childhood. They are natural cavalry. Once the two sides fight, 30,000 young men will become 30,000 cavalry."
"We have less than five thousand. Once the two armies meet, I'm afraid it will be a disaster."
"This is Rongdi, and it is also near the Fanhe tribe. They know the terrain here very well. Our army has no advantage in anything. Moreover, the Chinese army is far away in the direction of Tulou Mountain, and there is no news from the other tribes."
"Once our traces are discovered by the people of the Fanhe tribe, it will be a huge disaster for our army. The general thought that we should retreat first, and when we find any of the other tribes, we can devour the Fanhe tribe.
!”
Hearing this, Ying Hetu's eyes were dark. He naturally knew what Ying Huang meant, but he could not retreat. The special nature of the Imperial Guard meant that he could only take risks.
