In the royal tent of the Chahar tribe, the attendant divided up a roasted whole sheep and gave a large portion to each master.
Qi Muge took out a dagger, cut a piece of mutton leg and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
"It tastes good, you all should try it!"
Everyone was so hungry that they didn't bother to talk, so they tore off large pieces and ate them in big gulps.
After everyone was seven to eight percent full, they had time to drink and chat.
"Father Khan, it's been a long time since our tribes came back. Is there any news from Yu's capital? Are they fighting fiercely with the rebels?"
The person who spoke was Narisong, Qimuge's eldest son.
Qi Muge put down the wine bowl, wiped the oil stains on his beard, shook his head and said, "Last month there was news that Yu's troops did not fight against the rebels, but were cleaning up the capital."
As he spoke, he looked at his military advisor: "Hada, what do you think? Are the actions of Dayu's soldiers and horses intended to welcome their emperor to move back to the capital?"
Hada pondered for a while and said: "It's hard to say. The capital of Dayu is the holy land of the Dayu people. I heard that Emperor Dayu has not held a coronation ceremony yet. Maybe he just wants to clean up the capital and move the capital back to hold the coronation ceremony.
.”
If Yu had really moved back, then by withdrawing from the Gyeonggi region, they would have lost everything. They had occupied the Gyeonggi region unintentionally.
The original intention was to go to the Gyeonggi area to scare Emperor Dayu, but in the end I didn't expect that the scare would take off. Emperor Dayu was so frightened that he moved the court south.
Sure enough, nothing in this world that you get without paying any price is worth anything.
If it was the city they in Beidi had fought so hard to snatch from Dayu, he believed that the Beidi generals would never give up on Dayu's capital so easily.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Their Khan wants to make a profit, but he doesn't want to think about it. The end of the war between the two tigers has been decided. It would be a bit fanciful for Beidi to try to get a share of the pie.
After hearing what he said, Qi Muge's face looked a little solemn: "I said it was a bad idea for them to withdraw back in the first place. They gave the territory they had occupied for more than a year to the enemy in vain. Next time they want to organize troops to retake Dayu's capital.
It’s not easy.”
Apart from getting some money and supplies from Dayu, I got nothing else. It was a waste of effort!
"After this autumn, we have to plan carefully how to get more winter supplies from Dayu. I'm afraid this winter will be difficult again."
The current situation has changed and it is difficult to recall the past. Hada did not want to keep mentioning the past, so he brought up the matter of spending the winter.
For Beidi, the top priority throughout the year is how to survive the winter safely and smoothly.
Every year, I calculate and calculate again and again, all in order to prepare for the winter.
No matter how much preparation we make, if there is a white disaster, how many cattle and sheep will freeze to death and starve to death?
People from the Central Plains feel that the Beidi cavalry are invincible, but people from the Central Plains can never imagine the fear that the Beidi people have for the White Disaster!
Qimuge was very moved by Hada's words. In recent years, Beidi grassland has been extremely cold every year, even getting colder year by year. This has caused Beidi grassland to suffer from white disaster every year. Many people and livestock died of freezing and starvation every year, which led to Beidi's strength.
It's been weakening.
It would be okay if everyone's strength was weakening, but what I was most afraid of was that they were weakening while Dayu's strength was increasing.
Civil strife in the country of Dayu was what Beidi most wanted to see.
Beidi also least hoped that Dayu would have strong soldiers and strong horses, and that the country would be peaceful and the people would be safe.
Therefore, they would break through the border every year and come around the territory of Dayu, one of which was to snatch supplies.
Another point is to make Dayu uneasy and consume his national power.
"Hada will think carefully during this period and come up with a feasible plan. Then we will act according to the plan."
Hada nodded, and several people analyzed Dayu's situation. Unknowingly, it was late at night, and everyone dispersed after having had enough wine and food.
——
It's quiet at night.
Except for a few people on duty in the Chahar tribe, everyone else was already asleep.
On a small hill outside the tribe.
"In a moment, everyone will attack according to the planned key points. Sha Yuliang will lead a team to raid the residential area. Cheng Gu will lead people to the livestock area to control the horses and don't let them run away." Xia Jing glanced at the follower.
Ye Fei, who was beside him, said, "Ye Fei will follow me to the royal tent area. Our goal is to kill Qimuge and his son as much as possible."
"Did everyone hear you clearly?"
"Clear!"
"Then take action!"
Xia Jing gave the order, and the soldiers clamped their horses under their belly and drove as fast as the wind toward the tribe's camp.
The sound of horse hooves at night attracted the attention of the guards, but as soon as they gave the warning, Dayu's soldiers had already rushed in front of them, and they were naturally greeted with sabers.
When the soldiers rushed into the tribe's tent area, they threw the torches in their hands into the air and landed on each tent, which was instantly ignited.
The sleeping Beidi soldiers and horses heard the warning sound and were set on fire before they could run out of the tent. When they ran out of the burning tent in panic, they were greeted by flintlock bullets from Dayu's soldiers and horses.
Because Qimuge drank a little more wine at night, he fell into a deep sleep. The initial sound of horse hooves did not wake him up. He was only woken up by the soldiers after the tent was burned and Dayu's soldiers and horses rushed into the camp.
.
When he woke up, there was chaos outside the king's tent!
Cries for help, the sound of horse hooves, and calls to kill were all mixed together.
Qi Muge shook his head to wake himself up, and pulled out the scimitar hanging on the wall, "Kill me! Kill all the enemies who sneak attack on the tribe!"
"Bah, bah, bah"
The intensive gunshots made his bodyguards tremble with fear, "Khan, be careful!"
Xia Jing's weapon tonight is a crossbow arrow brought from the apocalypse in space. This crossbow arrow has been improved countless times and is more powerful than the weapons of this era.
The reason why she did not use a flintlock gun was because it was difficult to shoot accurately with a flintlock gun. In comparison, she preferred to use her own crossbow.
"In front of the princess is the royal tent with its wooden lattice!" Ye Fei pointed the way in front.
Xia Jing followed behind, and after listening to his words, she flicked her riding whip and sped up.
The enemies that appeared next to her were naturally dealt with by the personal guards in advance.
As soon as she rushed to the king's tent, she bumped into Qi Muge who rushed out of the king's tent.
"Chahar leader Qimuge?"
Qi Muge stared angrily, looked at the soldiers and horses of Dayu who were surrounded on the left and right, and asked: "Who are you, a rat? You hide your head and show your tail and only dare to make sneak attacks at night. If you have the ability to fight me openly!"
Xia Jing was riding on horseback, looking down at him condescendingly, and smiled contemptuously: "The person who wants your life!"
"you"
Before Qi Muge could say anything, he found an arrow stuck in his forehead. Later he realized that the arrow had hit his head. But before he could think about it, he fell into darkness and shot straight towards his head.
Then fell down.
The guard behind him wanted to help him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was hit by a sharp arrow!
Only a muffled groan was heard, the guard who was shot knelt on the ground, and Qi Muge also fell to the ground at the same time.
Xia Jing took out another arrow feather from the quiver hanging on the horse's back and loaded it into the crossbow.
After loading it, she looked at Qi Muge, who was lying dead on the ground: "Only a fool would fight you openly in your territory!"
Xia Jing's mental powers were fully activated, and she found someone hiding in the tent on her left hand who was preparing to shoot an arrow. She raised her hand and pointed the crossbow arrow at him.
"Princess, Captain Ye has arrested someone and is here."
Xia Jing followed the guidance of her personal guards and looked at Ye Fei in the firelight escorting a big man from Beidi over.
"Kneel down!" Ye Fei threw the person to the ground, clasped his fist towards Xia Jing and said, "Princess, this person is Narisong, Qi Muge's son. He actually ignored his father's safety and tried to escape by himself when no one was paying attention.
, I happened to catch him, what do you want to do with him?"
Xia Jing pointed at Qi Muge, who was lying on the ground and could no longer die, "Just like his father, execute him on the spot!"
At this moment, Narisong's eyes fell on Qi Muge's body, "Father Khan! Father Khan!"
Looking at the arrow feathers nailed to his forehead, Narisong turned his head violently and shouted with hatred: "It was you who killed my father, you devils, why don't you die! Why did you come to the grassland?
Are you guys so full that you have nothing to do?"
Ye Fei moved forward, waved his hand and slapped him in the face. With a crisp sound, Risong's face turned to one side due to the inertia, "If you die, you will die first. If you have nothing to do, run away."
When our Dayu burned, killed, looted and took captives, don't you feel that your sins are grave?"
"Don't talk nonsense to them, chop them down quickly!" Xia Jing watched as the fire behind them became stronger. It should be that the Chahar tribe's grazing shed was burning.
After hearing her words, Ye Fei didn't hesitate to cut off Narisong's head with his knife.
The warriors of the Chahar tribe were wiped out by Dayu's soldiers, and the herdsmen who had no time to escape scurried around like headless flies.
Seeing such a bloody scene, they were frightened and frightened, fearing that they too would become victims of injustice.
Facing such a hellish scene, they just wanted to escape, but their horses were all controlled by Dayu's soldiers and horses. Even if they wanted to escape, they couldn't find transportation tools. Two legs could never run as fast as four legs!
Of course, it was impossible for Dayu's soldiers and horses to take care of the entire battlefield, and there were also clever Beidi people who escaped.
Dayu's soldiers and horses discovered it and fired directly. If they didn't find it, they just didn't find it. It was lucky that they escaped and ascended to heaven!
After Xia Jing killed Qi Muge, she sat on the horse and looked around the battlefield.
The fighting between the two sides gradually turned one-sided. Dayu's soldiers and horses became more and more brave as they fought, while Beidi's soldiers were besieged and had no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth.
They really wanted to smash something rare from the sky so that Dayu's soldiers and horses would have no time to care about them, or they would all smash them to death!
The shouts of death, the sound of horse hooves, the sound of gunshots, and the screams of the herdsmen gradually became smaller in volume.
Until Dongfang Tubai, the warriors of the Chahar tribe were wiped out and the herdsmen were captured.
At the same time, the people captured from Dayu were also rescued.
When they heard that they could go home, they fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Some were excited, some were lucky, and some were filled with emotion and grievance for the rest of their lives.
All the nightmares are over and they can go home with the team.
This sneak attack went surprisingly smoothly.
The battle situation was far easier than imagined. There must be a reason for this. It was so unexpected that the Beidi soldiers and horses did not expect that Dayu would dare to cross the border, go deep into the grassland, and give them a heavy blow.
The most important contribution is the new equipment equipped by all the troops. Without the weapons at hand, Dayu's 500 cavalry could not defeat 700 people.
What's more, they have sophisticated equipment and flintlock guns, so they can sweep away all enemies without getting close!
"Princess, this is Beidi people's cheese, and the dry biscuits have been re-baked. You can try it. It's inconvenient to go out. Please hold on for a while, and it will be fine when we return to the capital."
Ye Fei brought an extremely simple breakfast and placed it on the table.
Xia Jing sat down, looked at the breakfast, and asked, "Is everyone else having breakfast?"
"They come to eat in turns. By the time we finish eating, the last batch of soldiers on duty should have almost finished eating."
Ye Fei said and looked up: "Are we going back today?"
"Of course, our team is so big. We were lucky enough to eliminate the Chahar tribe last night. How can we dare to stay here after getting so many supplies and livestock? We will return to poverty!"
Xia Jing waved her hand and motioned for him to make arrangements and set off as soon as possible.
Walking back, because we were carrying supplies, although there were more horses, the journey was still affected and the speed slowed down.
It took five days to come here, and two days to get through the battle. It took even longer to go back.
It has been almost twenty days since I returned to the Gyeonggi area.
When Li Chengmu heard the news, he was still a little unbelievable, "Are you saying that my mother-in-law is back? Didn't she say she would come back in a month? Why did she come back early?"
What he was most worried about was that someone would be seriously injured and the team would have to return.
"Yes, Fifth Master, the team led by the princess is already ten miles away." Chang Lu reminded him: "Fifth Master, if you want to pick up the princess, get ready quickly."
Li Chengmu had no time to make other preparations, so he quickly walked out of the palace, took the reins from the guards, jumped on his horse, and ran towards the city gate.
A very strange scene appeared outside the city. In the front were five hundred cavalry heading out to the grassland, in the middle were prisoners of war, and at the end were groups of thousands of sheep leaning on their heads, as well as two thousand war horses.
The most eye-catching thing is the 2,000 sleek horses.
"Don't tell me, these Beidi people do things without scruples, but their herding experience is unparalleled. Look at how well these horses grow. They are fat, strong, and smooth. They are really cute!"
"Fifth Master, is it possible for us to get some of these two thousand horses?" As soon as this subordinate asked this question, he was thinking about the majesty of the cavalry.
The infantry is struggling on the road, and the cavalry is galloping on horseback, speeding like the wind, how majestic it is!
Li Chengmu glanced at his two subordinates and said seriously: "What you said is a good idea. Cavalry must first have excellent riding skills. How are your riding skills? Don't climb on the horse and then jump from the horse's back after running a few steps.
It rolled down. If so, it would be embarrassing!"
The subordinate scratched his head, this, this, this is really a bit embarrassing. How can they practice riding without horses?
Li Chengmu had no time to pay attention to him at the moment. Seeing the team getting closer, he ran down the city wall again and beat his horse out of the city.
"Fifth brother, fifth brother, wait for us!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from behind. Li Chengmu tightened the reins and looked back, "Hey, third brother and fourth brother, you are well-informed. Let's go together to welcome the mother-in-law's triumphant return!"
Li Chengyi pinched the horse's belly and sped up: "Hey, fifth brother, slow down!"
