Chapter 765: The Battlefield of Life and Death
The horn of the bull sounded violently, resounding through the clouds, announcing the arrival of the desert horse.
Miao Tieshan stood on the high watchtower and overlooked the desert army, his camp was set up in the open place of the grassland, the desert army was about more than ten miles away from the camp, and the open place in the middle would become the place where the two armies fought.
Tens of thousands of desert horsemen lined up in a row several miles long, slowly riding their horses to approach the camp, like a wall like a forest. Under the sun, Mo Qi's body flashed with cold light, it was iron armor, Miao Tieshan's heart sank, compared with seven years ago, Mo Qi's equipment was much better. The Military Intelligence Department spy reported that the Mo people had purchased a large number of ordnance from the Western Regions, including iron armor, sharp arrows, scimitars, spears, and even large ordnance such as siege crossbows and siege vehicles in the royal court.
The desert cavalry stopped neatly five miles away, confronting the Zheng army's camp, except for the occasional neighing or two of the horses, the tens of thousands of troops were silent, only the flags of various colors fluttered in the wind. This kind of silent repression shows the excellent riding skills of Mo Qi, which is incomparable to Zheng Jun, and the invisible force is heavily pressed on Zheng Jun in the camp, and everyone feels nervous in their breathing.
What a mighty master, Miao Tieshan's thoughts flashed, but he chuckled lightly: "The desert people smashed the pot and sold iron to piece together some rags, and they were in a hurry to show their eyes in front of us." Alas, it's no wonder that the barbarians outside the plug have seen anything good, and they have grabbed an iron pot as a family heirloom. Miao Tieshan gestured with his hand and continued to smile: "The one wrapped in animal skin is called a tight, and Ben Shuai thought he had found a good treasure." ”
The generals around him burst into laughter, and the air immediately became relaxed, and someone asked playfully: "Miao Shuai, where is the iron pot?" ”
"Ben Shuai made people mention the gang's camp, and the steamed buns your kid ate today may be steamed from this pot."
"No wonder I said that this morning's steamed buns are so fragrant, and I ate eight in one go, it was originally the king domineering spirit that escaped from the pot of the Servant Clan, no wonder I farted all morning."
"You kid earns it, I've been muttering why your kid doesn't shave his ass when he goes to the toilet, and there is a smell of shit all over his body, or you will order him to go out and kill, and return the domineering spirit of the servant department to the indifferent people."
The loud laughter began again, and the laughter flew up, wafting over Zheng Jun's camp. The relaxed attitude of the main generals infected the soldiers, and the soldiers who looked at the guards downstairs also showed smiles on their faces, and looked at the desert cavalry in the distance with a little more confidence and calmness.
"Captain Ning, do you think we can defeat these indifferent people?" The gun in Ding Lu's hand was sweaty, and the coercion brought by the desert horse made him uneasy. He is a recruit who has been in the army for four years, has trained for less than two years, and has not yet been on the battlefield, so it is impossible to say that he is not afraid.
Ning Xiaohu (Ah Hu) said with a smile: "I will definitely win." ”
Seeing Ding Lu's face pale, Ning Xiaohu remembered that when he first became a soldier, he saw Moqi at the head of the city of Huangsha Pass, and he was also like this, and it was the veteran Shi who boldly comforted himself at that time: It's okay, you won't be afraid if you fight a few more times.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid to fight a few more times", this sentence blurted out from his mouth as if it was more than ten years ago, but the person who said it was replaced by himself.
The general died in a hundred battles, and he had been in the army for fourteen years unknowingly, and Ning Xiaohu couldn't remember how many times he had fought with the desert people, from Huangsha
When he was locked up in the camp in the north of Zhenbei, he was promoted to the rank of eight-rank lieutenant, and he commanded five hundred brothers under his command. Every time there is a battle, there will be a death in the robe, Shi Daring, Hu Jianzheng, Liu Mingguang ......, one by one vivid figures flashed in front of him, Ning Xiaohu would think that they were by his side, and he would drink with him in his dreams and laugh together.
The wind was strong in the north of the desert, Ah Hu closed his eyes dryly, there were no tears in his eyes, and life and death were no longer in his heart. In the thirteenth year of Fengle, he sent Shi Daring home, met Shi Daring's parents, wife and children, recognized his daughter as his goddaughter, and sent some silver taels to his daughter every year to prepare a dowry. Last year, the goddaughter asked someone to bring winter clothes and told him that he was married to a fellow villager, so that he could have time to meet his godson-in-law.
Ning Xiaohu didn't have a family, it's enough to have a goddaughter, and if he really dies on the battlefield in the future, someone will put incense on the pillar for him, burn some paper money, and he and Shi Daring are used to eating in the same pot, so the money will be used together, and he won't care about himself.
Ning Xiaohu is a native of Huazhou, and there are fathers and younger siblings at home, and the family letter said that life is much better than before, and his younger brother has married and had children, and he has two nephews and a niece. The eldest nephew is eight years old this year, and the family provides for him to study and get ahead in the future. Before becoming a soldier, the family had a hard time, and after eating a meal and worrying about the next meal, he came to be a soldier to save food for his younger brother, and then Jiang Thorn Shi went, and the life of the people of Huazhou was better day by day.
Some time ago, I heard that Lord Jiang also came to Zhenbei Camp, I don't know if I have a chance to see him, it was Lord Jiang who avenged General Hu and saved his life, and I should thank him well. I heard that Master Jiang was demoted to the camp, and I didn't know how to comfort him, so I asked him to drink a bowl of wine when I saw him. Wang Dashuai has a saying that everyone likes: life should be happy, and there are no regrets in death, and there seems to be no regrets in his life. I haven't been home for more than ten years, I don't know what happened to my parents, brothers and sisters, if I am still alive after the battle, I will go home and see.
Looking at the desert rider in the distance, Ning Xiaohu suddenly raised the spear in his hand and roared: "Ho! Ho ......" roar became louder and wider, and finally resounded, and countless Zheng soldiers waved their blades in their hands in the face of the iron-like desert horse, swallowing Changhong angrily.
On the high platform, Miao Tieshan held his beard and laughed loudly, the battlefield spanned his life, what if he could have such a tiger and wolf army even if he died on the grassland, he shouted: "Sons, meet the enemy with the old man." ”
The three gates of the village in the north are opened, and three torrents gush out from the big village, and three squares are arranged two miles in front of the wall, and the phalanx is rapidly extended, the shield is in front, the spear is in the middle, and the longbowmen are in the array, paving a three-mile-long defense line, like a thick iron plate blocking the desert horse.
The light horsemen sorted, their hooves rattling the ground and turning into a raging torrent. The torrent condensed behind the iron plate, and the cold light was connected, and the murderous aura was like substance, and it soared into the sky, and the birds in the sky flew by in panic, leaving behind a miserable long roar.
The flaming red banner fluttered high, slowly passing through the iron array, and the sergeants cast their admiring eyes on the old handsome Miao Tieshan under the banner, this man has been stationed in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate for forty years, from the captain to the marshal, and has fought countless battles with the desert people, from the young man to the white head, and has never left.
Under the banner of the black wolf, Kun Bo stared at the big red flag, he didn't know Zheng characters, but the word "Miao" on the flag was deeply in his heart, under this banner was Zheng Ren Anbei Metropolitan Governor Miao Tieshan, he had led troops south countless times
Playing in the grass valley, you will always encounter the obstruction of this red flag, and it is difficult to return with a full load.
Cumpo is forty years old, and his broad-mouthed lion-nosed tiger eyes resemble his father, Khan Ushi, and this appearance has made some of the old courtiers quite fond of him. After years of fighting with Li Manming, Kunbo was not as irritable and irritable as he was back then, and Zuo Fuqu Xubu Naying said that he had six or seven points of resemblance to the Great Khan of Wushi, and if he could lead the grassland tribes to defeat the Zheng army, he would be able to take advantage of the situation to become the new Great Khan of the grassland.
After His Holiness issued the conscription order, the scattered steppe tribes continued to gather, and the number of light horsemen exceeded 600,000, and the number was still growing. On the first day of the fourth month, after the Dharma King sacrificed to the heavenly bones, Tizhu divided the desert cavalry into three parts by the auspicious omen shown by the bones, Kunbo and Liman each led 200,000 elites as the vanguard of the battle, and went to Zhenbei City to block the Zheng army, Tizhu led 200,000 servant troops to transport grain and grass materials, sat in the royal court, and waited for the follow-up tribes.
The next day, Kunbo led the army to drive out, all the way to Zhenbei City, and sent the news that Emperor Zheng Ren was coming to Zhenbei City, and Kunbo calculated that if he could catch Emperor Zheng Ren, he would be a well-deserved Great Khan on the grassland. It is said that Zhenbei City gathered millions of Zheng troops, Kun Bo didn't care, the Zheng people were powerful in defending the city, but if they wanted to compete with the desert people on the grassland, they would be sent to death.
Sixty miles away from the north of the town to meet the Zheng army, Kun Bo ordered to camp twenty miles away from Zheng Zhai, and he took 10,000 black wolf horsemen and 20,000 Jiewei troops to Zheng Zhai to check and demonstrate. The Jiewei army is composed of young and strong people in the tribe, and is the main force of the grassland campaign, and the wolf cavalry is the attached army, which is a brave and good warrior selected from the servant army and the Jiewei army, with a total of only 25,000 people, 5,000 golden wolves, blue wolves and black wolves, and the Batu Department has become the co-owner of the grassland tribe by virtue of these 25,000 attached troops.
Guru Leha followed Kumpo expressionlessly, after the death of Ushi, the two sons competed for the throne of Khan, Leha and Benhu supported Kumpo to succeed to the throne, he thought that Kunbo was strong and kind, like most of the steppe men, and Liman liked the Zheng people, if he became the Great Khan, the grassland would lose its roots.
This time, the Dharma King asked the master to lead the sect to travel with the army, and Leha took the initiative to ask Ying to follow Kumpo's side, accompanied by two masters, four Venerables, and as many as 1,000 ordinary sect members, these people are all good at one as ten, Leha organized them into a team, with Venerable Fu Ying as the commander of a thousand horsemen, ready to charge into battle at a critical time.
Zheng Jun's imposing appearance seemed to Kunbo to be a showman, and he turned his face to look at the strong man behind him and said: "Moji, you take your men down to rush, if you can kill the generals and capture the flag, I will allow you to bring the original Ashi Department to independence, and give you 20,000 cattle and sheep." ”
In the tenth year of Fengle, the Ashi Department and the Hun Branch attacked Huangsha Pass, but were defeated by Liao Jianhui, and the Ashi Department and the Hun Branch were merged into the Batu Department, and Ashi Moji became a thousand cavalry commanders under Kunbo. The leader of the Ashi Ministry, Ashi Zhima, was the uncle of Moji, who died of illness in the sixteenth year of Zheng Li Fengle, and before his death, he hoped that his nephew Moji would revive the Ashi Ministry. Merge is brave and good at fighting, and has a similar temperament to Kunbo, who is deeply liked by Kunbo, and this time he went south to meet the Zheng army, and Kunbo let Moji lead three thousand black wolf horses.
The sound of the horn conveyed the military order, and Mergi was wearing chain mail, and rushed out first, followed by three thousand black wolf army prancing horses waving swords and shouting, scimitars dancing like a whirlwind in these black wolf riders, with the roar of death, turning into a cone and stabbing towards Zheng Jun.
