Chapter 736: On the shores of Lake Beer
Li Yongsheng What they do is really a bit unlimited: a real person, they actually attack ordinary people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, Shan Ling'er is very supportive of this, there are no ordinary people in her eyes, only two kinds of people: enemies and not enemies.
Therefore, the six real people of Shuntianfu are the most active in carrying out this kind of task: killing unarmed civilians, although they are a little down, can make the enemy jump to their feet with anger, which is very relieving, and their own family will not save face in vain.
Soon, the Rouran Kingdom made a new response: using multiple real people to ambush the real people who attacked Middle-earth alone.
Caught off guard, one of the real people was seriously injured.
However, on the side of Middle-earth, it is not unresponsive, they can also ambush the real people who are left alone by the anti-hunting team.
In any case, Middle-earth is the attacking side, Rouran is the defensive side, and there are too many targets for Middle-earth to choose from.
And Rouran is much more passive - only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves?
However, the number of real people in Middle-earth is less than the number of real people in the anti-hunting team after all, and while they have gained a large number of heads, they can't help but suggest to Li Yongsheng: If it doesn't work, give the anti-hunting team a ruthless one.
As long as this anti-hunting team can be knocked out, it is equivalent to defeating the rapid counterattack ability of the Rouran Kingdom, and at that time, the entire southern part of Rouran will be at the mercy of the Middle-earth people.
Of course, if Rouran dispatches a large army, the Middle-earth rangers will have to turn around and flee, but against a large-scale army, it is really not too easy to fight guerrilla warfare.
In fact, the number of troops in the country of Rouran is definitely quite large, and there are 800,000 regular troops on the register, and if the whole clan is fully mobilized in wartime, it can reach 1.2 million.
The so-called million people who control the strings, that is not empty words, in fact, in essence, Rouran is a tribe where all the people are soldiers, with a small population of four million, if even the strong women and thirteen or fourteen-year-old children are counted, it is not impossible to make up two million soldiers.
These Rouran people, since childhood, have been glued to the back of horses, and with a knife, they can charge and kill, not to mention that many people can hunt in the grassland at a young age, and the bow is also very good.
Li Yongsheng believes that after the battle in Musta Grassland, the anti-hunting team has shrunk for a while, and now it is a little too much.
There must be nothing false about what is on the battlefield, and it is still necessary to fight a solid battle with the other side, so as to dispel the luck mentality of some people and gain the initiative in the battle.
So he set his sights on a meadow on the shore of Lake Ber, in the Tulek corridor.
Lake Beer is the largest lake in the central part of the country of Rouran, it is an oval-shaped lake like a goose egg, long from north to south and short from east to west, with an area of 30,000 or 40,000 li, and it is an excellent grazing place.
However, even so, the pastures around Lake Beer are not too wide, and the main pastures are located on the east and west sides, and the range of lush pastures is only about ten miles wide.
At present, there are 780,000 people in this lake, and there are more than 1 million cattle and sheep, which are mainly concentrated in four places, and there are about 20,000 people in each place.
In fact, if it weren't for the Middle-earth rangers, the herdsmen gathered here would definitely exceed 100,000.
If these seventy or eighty thousand people were gathered together, the people of Middle-earth would definitely not dare to get too close, but ...... This is impossible, millions of cattle and sheep are crammed together, it is a disaster at all.
So they had to divide into four areas so that everyone had room to graze.
But in this way, in the face of the Middle-earth Rangers, they only have to defend.
The four places are not far from each other, about seventy or eighty miles, but because they are blocked by Lake Beer, they can only be horns between the two and two, and they cannot cross the lake to support.
If you come around the lake, it will be more than a distance of one or two hundred miles.
Li Yongsheng set his sights on a place called Tianma Slope, so according to legend, there was once a Tianma with an abnormal divine horse here.
Tianmapo is the closest of the four settlements to the Tulek Corridor.
In fact, there is another reason why Li Yongsheng chose Tianmapo, that is, there is a temple of the True God Sect here.
Of course, there are people who believe in the true god religion? Of course, this is mainly because the largest incense sect in Rouran Buddhism boasts that it is kind and compassionate to others.
Since you are a good person, you must not do evil things - at least not blatantly.
As for the methods used by the Buddha in private, it is difficult to say, anyway, there are very few followers of the True God Religion in Rouran, and it also distinguishes between Protestant Religion and Old Religion.
Li Yongsheng chose this place as his focus, of course, not only because of his hatred of the True God Cult.
When a large group of rangers appeared near the left side of Tianma Slope, the herdsmen here retracted back to Tianma Slope like frightened rabbits.
Tianmapo is a small soil slope about ten zhang high, the area is a radius of Lixu, and it is only Lixu from Lake Beer.
This is a long-term grazing ground operated by the Rouran people, with a fixed camp, they have built a camp on the Tianma slope, and if outsiders want to attack, they have to attack from the bottom up, which is very difficult.
On the other side, the lake is the natural moat of the camp, and then wooden walls are built at the north and south ends, and a solid camp is formed.
This camp, Rouran people have been operating for a long time, because of the clever use of Tianmapo and Beer Lake, the area inside the camp is not small, there are seven or eight miles in a radius.
Even in winter, there are herdsmen who spend the winter here, and there are quite a few of them, at least five or six thousand.
The camp within a radius of seven or eight miles is crowded with almost 20,000 people, and there are hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, although it is a little crowded, it is not completely unbearable.
There must be a commanding height, and there must be water and water, and there is no big problem in blocking the impact of the rangers in the short term.
The Middle-earthers were menacing, but they did not rush to attack, they just surrounded the camp from a distance, and at the same time scattered a large number of scouts to cover up the news of the battlefield.
Tianmapo immediately released a warning signal, and then, before half an hour later, he found that his neighbor Hongfeng Island also warned him.
When the battlefield news is obscured, they can't even judge where the opponent's attack is focused.
So Tianmapo sent a thousand cavalry, wanting to test the other side.
Who would have thought that the scouts of Middle-earth were not in love with war, and retreated while resisting, and soon retreated more than ten miles away.
However, while they were retreating, there were also many Middle-earth scouts, cruising in the distance, and they looked ill-intentioned.
The people of Tianmapo chased ten miles, and they didn't dare to chase anymore, so they reduced their speed a little and reorganized the people.
If they chase any further, if they encounter the large army of Middle-earth rangers, they may not be able to retreat.
However, as soon as they reduced their speed, the surrounding Middle-earth scouts approached, and they knew at a glance that they had bad intentions.
Immediately afterwards, more scouts appeared, with the intention of surrounding the thousand people.
The Rouran people who attacked were shocked, stunned for a moment, and began to slowly retreat.
This retreat was even more remarkable, and countless scouts rushed from a distance, frantically urging the mounts under their crotches.
There were also two real people, flying from a distance.
Rouran people were so frightened that they couldn't care about their image at all, so they beat their horses and galloped, trying to escape back to Tianmapo.
But they were chased by the Middle-earth rangers, and they bit off a large piece fiercely, and when they went out, it was a thousand people, and when they returned, it was less than six hundred.
Thankfully, the Rouran people of Tianma Slope sent to respond, and the only real person also attacked bravely, coupled with the bed crossbow and stone thrower on Tianma Slope, it was able to block the impact of the Middle-earth rangers.
This is also due to the fact that the pursuers are rangers, and if they encounter a well-trained Middle-earth army, they are likely to risk huge losses and directly capture Tianmapo.
Although the rangers are also brave, when it comes to fighting tough battles, they still can't compare with the army.
At the cost of more than 400 lives, Tianmapo tested the resolve of the Middle-earthers, who did not want to give up control of the battlefield.
However, compared to them, Red Maple Island has paid a heavier price.
The fact that Red Maple Island can become one of the camps is also related to their unique geographical location.
It is a peninsula, not really an island, jutting five or six miles into Lake Ber, and the island is full of red maple trees, hence the name.
The defense of Hongfeng Island was even simpler than that of Tianma Slope, they could defend a wooden wall that was three miles long - the other three sides were covered with water, and the opponent had no choice but to attack this side.
This is a place where it is inland and can no longer be inland, there can be no water army.
Even if the first line of defense of Red Maple Island is lost, they can still retreat to the second line of defense.
It was a wall only a mile wide - this was the narrowest part of Red Maple Island, and it was not enough to be called a man and a man, but if you put 5,000 people, it would be difficult to defeat 100,000 people.
However, although this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it also has a bad side: if you are trapped, you may be trapped to death!
Therefore, when Red Maple Island sent people to attack, it directly sent 3,000 people to test the other party's determination to encircle him.
As a result, 3,000 men were hit head-on, and only 800 ran back.
If they have dozens of large ships that can transport more than 100 people, the two camps can completely realize the integration of attack and defense and support each other through Lake Beer.
In fact, the Rouran people are lazy by nature, and Lake Vier is more than five hundred miles away from the border of Middle-earth, and they never dreamed that they would be forced to such a degree.
Yes, they never thought about developing a water army in this big lake.
It's also interesting to say, Rouran is a nation on horseback, and nine out of nine Rouran people can't swim at all.
These are far from it, anyway, both sides have made temptations, but the results of the temptation have not been discovered, which side is the real target of Middle-earth's attack.
The Rouran people in the two camps were suspicious, but Li Yongsheng and them were constantly busy.
Of course, in addition to killing, there is never a shortage of accidents in the war, Shan Ling'er led an ordinary-looking high-level cultivator and found Li Yongsheng, "The Military Intelligence Department has something important to discuss." ”
