Chapter 0883 Kou Ji's fame is gone?! Eighteen thousand!)
Tuktu Duduoyi was rare and did not make excuses about gods and ghosts. She said with a very solemn face: "If we all rush in at once, we may die a lot of people."
The seven people fell into silence again.
After a long time, Walker Terrace broke the silence, "Do we still have a choice?"
The seven people looked at me and I looked at you, their expressions were all dark.
Someone said hesitantly: "We can go back to find Wu Lie. As long as we help Wu Lie take over Shangjing City, he will always allocate part of the area north of Shangjing City to us as pasture."
Compared with the pastures south of Shangjing City that were occupied by the Song people, the pastures north of Shangjing City may be more suitable for us."
At this point, he paused and added in a low voice, "There are no enemies as powerful as the Song people north of Shangjing City."
As soon as these words came out, someone wanted to echo them, but before they could speak, they heard the older man's heavy voice.
"Going back to find Wu Lie?! That is asking for death. After Wu Lie takes over Shangjing City and the Liao territory north of Shangjing City, he will definitely annex us. There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that a son-in-law is half a son.
He is my son-in-law, but he refuses to listen to me and sends my people to die.
He even wanted my people to be merged into his Ullie Tribe.
If my tribe were merged into the Ulay Tribe, they would become members of the Ulay Tribe.
So where should I go from here?
Will he secretly kill me in order to completely control my people?"
After hearing what the elder said, Tuktududuoy and others had very ugly expressions on their faces.
Part of the reason why they broke up with the Wulie tribe was to take back the pastures that belonged to them, and part of the reason was that the Wulie tribe had joined forces with the Xiwang tribe and had the intention of annexing them.
They just didn't want to be annexed, so they chose to break with the Ullie tribe.
Seeing that no one else spoke, the older man continued: "Even if we vote for the Wulie tribe and follow Wulie to occupy Shangjing City and occupy all the land north of Shangjing City, we can be safe and sound.
Live on?
The iron hooves of the Song people will appear in front of us sooner or later.
After they captured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, they still sent troops and horses to conquer our pastures, which is proof of this."
Tuktududuoy and others sighed after hearing what the older man said.
With Da Song, a domineering neighbor who doesn't want friends, they really feel a lot of pressure.
If people want to hit you, they will hit you. If they want to steal your nest, they will fire you, without even notifying you.
You have no temper at all.
I dare not say a harsh word.
If you don't say anything and just accept it, maybe they will hit you more gently.
When you say harsh words to others, they will definitely hit you viciously.
The most annoying thing is that they don't even give you a chance to call you daddy.
From the time when the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty arrived at the border until now, they have surrendered common people and raped criminals, but they have never been surrendered.
If you don't try to surrender, how do you know whether we will surrender immediately?
"Then swarm us?"
Tuktududuoy asked tentatively.
The older man said in a deep voice: "Swarm us!"
Tuoba Ye nodded helplessly.
Others also nodded.
After nodding, Walker Tai mused: "We can't simply swarm up, let alone focus on one place to charge. The Song Army is guarding the ravine. If we only focus on the ravine and charge, we will only be killed by the Song Army.
The ravine is narrow and there is no way to show the superiority of our troops.
So I think we can divide our troops into hundreds or thousands of shares, and then attack them from different places.
The army rushed into the ravine, and other soldiers and horses ran directly along the slope to the mountain.
Even around the mountains.
The Song army has a limited number of soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to defend all places."
Tuoba Ye said: "Yes, our goal is to rush over, not to confront the Song Army head-on here. We are no match for the Song Army head-on."
Others nodded.
The older man said solemnly: "Then we will make an agreement. Once we rush over, we will lead our troops and horses to turn around at Tanshan Mountain.
Then we can discuss the next plan?"
Tuktududuoy and others nodded together.
Facing a powerful enemy, they can only stay together to stay warm.
"Then...kill?!"
"kill!"
"kill!!"
"..."
Tuoba Ye led the vanguard and drove the murderers out.
The others also followed the same example and drove the murderer out to kill him.
It's just that they were at the forefront at the beginning, but halfway through, they fell behind.
A more critical moment, when approaching the ravine, they did not rush into the ravine, but rushed up the hills on both sides.
The top of the mountain is not high.
Di Qing and Zhong Shiheng often rode up on their horses, so naturally they could do the same.
On the top of the mountain.
Zhong Shiheng, Di Qing, and Kou Ji all frowned when they saw the enemies rushing up the mountain.
Zhong Shiheng said in a deep voice: "What I am most worried about is that the enemy breaks out and breaks out. Now the enemy has indeed broken out and broken out."
Kou Ji nodded and was about to speak.
But he saw that Di Qing had already jumped on the horse, said a few words, and rode away.
"I'll mobilize the troops!"
Kou Ji sighed and said nothing.
Kou Ji really wanted to give Di Qing and the troops under Di Qing's command a long rest, but the enemy didn't want them to do so.
"kill!"
Zhong Shiheng roared angrily when the enemy approached the foot of the mountain.
In an instant, gunfire rang out.
The enemy fell like wheat.
But there are too many enemies, so many that they can't cut them all no matter how hard they cut them.
The enemy rushed over from both sides of the mountain, which was more than ten miles long, and Zhong Shiheng could only blockade them in front of him.
The enemy sent most of his troops into the ravine to charge into battle.
In order to block most of the enemy's troops, Zhong Shiheng deployed relatively more troops and horses in the ravine.
There are naturally fewer mountains on both sides.
Therefore, when the enemy rushed towards the mountains on both sides, the soldiers and horses under Zhong Shiheng's command were naturally better able to deal with it.
In the ravine.
Almost none of the charging formations formed by the murderers could reach the ravine and interrupt it.
With the firepower network formed by the muskets, plus the help of hand grenades and mines buried underground, the murderers had almost no chance to rush in front of the Song soldiers.
The thugs kept charging.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty continued to shoot and kill.
In just a short while, a wall of flesh and blood composed of human and horse corpses formed in the ravine.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought more and more fiercely.
Some soldiers broke away from their original bunkers and rushed to the wall of flesh and blood composed of human and horse corpses. Using the wall of flesh and blood as cover, they fired fiercely at the enemy.
After the early charge, the thugs gave up their swords and guns and instead used arrows to attack.
The two sides started shooting at each other on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were protected by bunkers, so almost all arrows landed on the bunkers.
The criminals had no cover and could only be shot dead.
"I surrender!"
A murderer was afraid of being killed. He yelled, threw away his weapon, knelt on the ground, held his head in his hands, and shivered on the spot.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty saw the surrender, but they could not accept the surrender because the enemy was too far away from them.
The other thugs were still charging.
The fighting in the ravine was quite fierce.
The battle on the mountain is not overly conciliatory.
But compared to the battle in the ravine, the battle on the mountain was not so smooth.
The enemy relied on their large numbers and stretched defense line.
Then a swarm of swarms rushed up the mountain desperately. The soldiers on the mountain were limited and could not withstand the long defense line.
Often, a soldier cannot cope with more than a dozen or even twenty enemies.
It is precisely because of this that although the number of enemies killed by the generals on the mountain was no less than that in the ravine, they were unable to stop the enemy.
The enemy was about to cross the defense line, and Kou Ji and Zhong Shiheng also joined the battlefield.
Zhong Shiheng has a short gun in one hand and a long knife in the other. While slashing the nearby enemies, he uses the short gun to kill the enemies far away.
While Kou Ji was fighting with his subordinates, he held a short blunderbuss in his hand and kept shooting at the enemy.
"Privilege Kou, just hide."
"Why are you hiding? Am I afraid of dying?"
"You're not afraid, Beizong is. If something happens to you, Beizong's whole family might have to go and be buried with you."
"I promise, no one will kill your whole family."
"What's the use of your promise? If something happens to you, the first one to kill the family members of low-level officials will definitely be the officials. No one in the official family can stop them."
"..."
The pro-subordinate officials pulled Kou Ji back, but Kou Ji refused to do anything.
Seeing that Kou Ji could not be pulled or persuaded, the official personally gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Come here and take Privy Councilor Kou down."
"You are big..."
Before Kou Ji even uttered the curse words, he was carried out of the battlefield by several tall and thick men.
The moment Kou Ji left the battlefield.
Di Qing had already mounted his horse and charged up the mountain again, followed by his soldiers.
With the new force led by Di Qing joining in, the situation was instantly reversed.
Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing worked together to drive the enemy down the hill.
Zhong Shiheng shouted to Di Qing: "Just now, a group of soldiers and horses passed around the outside of the mountain. You stay here and I will lead people to chase them."
"Need not……"
Di Qing shook his head and shouted.
Zhong Shiheng was stunned.
Di Qing smiled and said: "There are surprises waiting for them later."
Zhong Shiheng was stunned again. After carefully observing the reinforcements brought by Di Qing, he seemed to understand something.
Zhong Shiheng laughed and said, "Keep killing!"
The two men led their troops and continued to kill.
The two men not only drove the enemy off the hilltop, but also pursued the enemy for five miles with their troops before giving up the pursuit.
Just when the two gave up the pursuit.
Behind the mountain, an interesting scene is happening.
During the melee just now, Tuktu Dudoi, the leader of the Immortality Cult, one of the seven coalition armies, led his soldiers and horses to run out for twenty miles and bypass the mountainside.
The group of people rushed halfway through the mountainside and saw that there was no Song army behind them.
Tuktududuoy laughed heartily, "We escaped!"
The other members of the Immortality Cult shouted loudly, their faces filled with joy.
One by one, they galloped on their horses and rushed over the mountain side, preparing to rush into the hinterland behind the mountain.
However, just as they passed the edge of the mountain, they heard a loud shout.
"Where are you going?!"
Tuktududuoy and her people followed the sound, the expressions on their faces froze.
On the back of the mountain, a troop of 40,000 soldiers and horses, wearing iron armor and holding steel swords, were quietly waiting for them.
Tuktududuoyi's pupils shrank to a point in an instant.
Can't beat it!
Totally unbeatable!
This was the first and only thought that came to Tuktududuoy's mind when he saw this army.
The soldiers and horses she personally led were naturally the elite of the Changsheng Sect. They were regular soldiers and horses that she had worked hard to cultivate.
It's just that compared to the other party, the soldiers and horses under her command are really embarrassing to call them regular soldiers and horses.
She has 30,000 regular soldiers and horses under her command, and each of them is barely equipped with a Liao army standard scimitar, Liao army standard bows and arrows, and Liao army standard cloth armor.
After a little training, he was already a regular soldier who was more than twice as powerful as the thugs.
Just facing the opponent, obviously not enough.
The opponent's chainmail, helmet, shoulder armor, goggles, skirt, etc. are almost all made of fine steel.
The opponent held a long knife in his hand, and two short spears and a hand crossbow hung on both sides of the horse's back.
On the side where the hand crossbow is hung, there is also a bag hanging. The bulging contents should be the kind of firearms thrown by the Song Dynasty people.
Wherever the other party stands quietly, there is a Yafeng Formation.
The soldiers and horses behind him barely looked like a formation.
But compared with the opponent's neat military appearance, it's like heaven and earth.
"Gudu..."
Tuktududuoyi swallowed subconsciously.
The general led by the other party had already raised the spear in his hand.
"charge!"
The spear slid down and pointed directly at the enemy.
Forty thousand cavalry rushed out like a tide.
"surrender!"
"Surrender!"
"I surrender!"
"..."
When Tuktududuoy saw the opponent rushing towards him, he almost shouted without hesitation.
Seeing the opponent getting closer and closer, Tuktududuoyi was shouting almost hysterically.
"Vote!"
"Vote!!"
"Spare your life!"
"..."
Tuktududuoy was shouting crazily.
Some people may question why Tuktududoi did not escape.
In fact, Tuktududuoy also thought about escaping, but after comparing the strengths of both sides, Tuktududuoy gave up on escaping.
Because she knew she couldn't escape.
Putting aside the opponent's armaments that almost crushed them, the horses under the opponent's crotch were not bad horses either.
They were first-rate horses. Not only were they good horses, they were also tall, almost half a head taller than their war horses.
The horses under their crotches are no match for them when they run.
Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, Tuktududuoy became a little desperate.
But when they saw the other party rushing in front of them, they suddenly split into two and quickly surrounded them.
Seeing this, Tuktududuoyi was stunned.
"Now that we have surrendered, we must quickly dismount and accept the surrender! Anyone who does not dismount within three breaths will be deemed to have feigned surrender and will be killed without mercy!"
The leading general said in a cold voice after surrounding them.
Tuktududuoyi shivered all over, quickly got off the horse, and knelt down on the ground piously.
Seeing this, the other soldiers and horses of the Changsheng Sect dismounted and surrendered.
The leading general stared at Tuktudu Doi and said coldly: "Fortunately you didn't run away, otherwise I can't guarantee whether there would be any prisoners!"
Tuktududuoyi shivered when she heard this. She raised her head and said quickly: "General..."
"Shut up!"
As soon as Tuktududuoy said two words, the leading general interrupted her rudely.
The leading general said with disgust: "What I hate the most is the colorful things you paint on your faces. When we were in Jiaozhi, you were the worst with the colorful things painted on your faces."
Without waiting for Tuktududuoyi to open his mouth to defend himself.
Li Si shouted loudly, "Take them all back. If you don't obey, I'll chop them up."
Forty thousand soldiers all agreed.
The momentum frightened Tuktududuoy and trembled again.
Seeing this, Li Si patted the war horse under his crotch and said, "This is called Shuixi Horse! There are not many horses that can outrun them. You are very wise not to run."
Just when Tuktududuoy was about to speak, Li Si rode away.
Shuixi Horse is a horse breed discovered in Guizhou when Cao Li went to Leizhou.
Cao Liang discovered that this kind of horse was much better than the Liao and Tubo horses commonly used in the Song Dynasty, so he decisively abandoned the Liao and Tubo horses and chose the water-capped horses as war horses.
Not only that, Cao Lili also secretly informed Kou Ji about the matter.
He felt that if the soldiers of the Song Dynasty rode on such war horses, their combat effectiveness would soar.
However, after Kou Ji learned about this, he just replied that he knew it.
There is no intention of conscripting Shuixi horses into military horses.
Cao Lili thought that Kou Ji would not move the Western Horse, so he sent someone to give one to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji accepted the horse, but did not give Cao Li any reply.
In fact, Kou Ji knew Shui Xima and knew that Shui Xima was a good horse.
The Shuixi Horse was once called the Dragon Colt, and someone even wrote a poem about the Shuixi Horse in Guzhou to make the horse famous.
It can be seen from this that this horse is definitely a first-rate horse.
It's just that this horse is suitable for the Song Dynasty without firearms, but not suitable for the Song Dynasty with firearms.
When Cao Li discovered this horse, there were not many of it.
If the Song Dynasty court wanted to cultivate this horse, it would need to invest a lot of money.
If you want to use this horse to replace the Liao and Tubo horses in the Song Dynasty army, it will take at least decades of hard work to cultivate the number required by the Song Dynasty.
Besides, it is difficult to raise a good horse.
But all good horses and famous horses eat better than people.
The cost of raising horses is another huge expense.
The Song Dynasty was not wealthy at that time, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not agree to invest huge tax revenue in the cultivation of this horse.
Kou Ji was not willing to wait decades for this horse to be trained.
With the money and time to train this horse, Kou Ji could snatch back dozens of times the number of war horses from the Liao Kingdom, the Western Regions and other places.
If so, why cultivate them?
Moreover, after the advent of firearms, the demand for horses gradually decreased sharply.
Kou Ji felt that there was no need for the Song Dynasty to spend a huge amount of money to train a group of war horses that might not be needed in the future.
It was precisely because of this that Kou Ji ignored Cao Yili.
Cao Li did not get a reply from Kou Ji, but his determination to train this horse did not go away.
He began to train this horse when he was in Leizhou.
Since then, a huge amount of money has been invested in cultivating this horse.
After ten years and countless money spent, he finally bred this horse to a certain number and reluctantly equipped it into the army.
On the battlefield that destroyed Jiaozhi, his soldiers rode this horse and showed great splendor.
This time the Song Dynasty asked Jiaozhi to send troops, and Cao Lili sent these soldiers and horses.
The purpose is to let Kou Ji take a good look at Shuixima's power and make Kou Ji regret it.
What a pity.
Cao Cao used his proud Shui Xima to have no chance of making a fuss on the Liao battlefield.
When the firearms equipped by the Song Dynasty were enough to suppress the enemy, the cavalry charge was completely useless.
No matter how good the war horses or cavalry are, they can only serve as auxiliaries.
On the main battlefield, they will never have a role.
From the time when the Jiaozhi soldiers entered the Liao Dynasty until now, the most beautiful battle fought is probably this one.
But even this one is just a support.
When they followed Liu Heng before, they had no chance of fighting, because after Liu Heng defeated Shangjing City, he had been running around in the Liao Kingdom and did not fight head-on with the Liao soldiers and horses.
When they followed Di Qing later, they had little chance.
Because whenever there was a battlefield that required cavalry to charge, Di Qing would have already gone out with his troops to kill the opponent before they could take action.
In short, Shuixima is a good horse, but it was a bit untimely in the Song Dynasty.
When Li Si escorted the prisoners back to the camp.
On the top of the mountain.
Kou Ji was cursing, "Say! Which of you pulled my pants?!"
In front of Kou Ji, five burly men stood in a row, each with their heads lowered and saying nothing.
Kou Ji had no complaints about their arrogant removal from the battlefield.
After all, they were also thinking about his life.
However, he had to ask clearly about the matter of pulling off his pants while carrying him away from the battlefield.
In public, he was running around in obscene pants, and others thought he was a defeated general.
When Kou Ji saw the five guys and none of them admitted it, he felt angry. He pointed at one of them and said, "You think I won't know if you don't tell me. It must be you!"
Hearing this, the burly man shook his head hurriedly, "Master, it's not me, it's not me, I'm lifting your arm."
Kou Ji's eyes fell on the next sturdy man.
The burly man also shook his head hurriedly and said: "Master, what I am lifting is also my arm."
"I'm holding my waist!"
"I'm holding your hand!"
"Little man, hold your head!"
"..."
The remaining three sturdy men decisively defended themselves.
Kou Ji laughed angrily at the five guys, "No one cares about my legs. I walked back by myself?!"
Five sturdy men, you looked at me and I looked at you, without any words.
Kou Ji said coldly: "Next time, I'll chop your heads off!"
When the five burly men heard this, they looked at each other and bowed in unison: "Thank you, Master, for not killing me."
"Get out!"
Kou Ji cursed loudly.
The five sturdy men escaped from the tent as if they had been granted amnesty.
After the five of them left, Kou Ji put his hand on his forehead and said with a headache: "My reputation for life is gone..."
