Chapter 540: Battle in the Northern Desert (7)
The bottom of the ditch was covered with corpses, and the grass was soaked in blood and muddy. When I stepped on it, I stuck my shoes. Nearly 20,000 people died in the rain of arrows. More than 10,000 Naipu's troops were captured, as well as countless cattle and sheep.
Qi Xinwen was cleaning the battlefield where he had just fought with the Canglang Cavalry. The corpses of the choir were placed together. After writing down the name, they would burn into ashes and put them in pots to their families. Qi Xinwen cut off the head of a Canglang Cavalry and placed it on Jingguan. The Jingguan made of nearly a thousand heads was spectacular. At the top of Jingguan, Qi Xinwen personally put the flag of the Canglang Army.
The auxiliary soldiers stepped up their arrangements based on the original camp. The trenches widened and deepened, and the traps were buried outside the camp. The caltrops were densely spread on them, and the arrow towers and the watchtowers were trees. Although there were no fences, the left and right military camps were heavily defended.
Liman took the Canglang army back to the camping place last night. The awakened Luyazhi gathered more than 3,000 lost tribes and found them. He knelt in front of Liman and cried loudly, swearing to be loyal to King Liman and ask King Liman to send troops to avenge the Naipu tribe.
There are only less than 10,000 people left in the entire Naipu tribe. It is not even a small tribe on the grassland and may be annexed by other tribes at any time. Such Naipu tribe Liman really doesn't like it. However, when he is using people, Liman pulls up the Luya branch and comforts him with kind words.
While talking, there were crowds of people outside. Badai and the Saman tribe led people to come. This was the object that Liman wanted to win over. Without caring about Luyazhi, Liman personally came out to greet him. Luyazhi was shameless and followed Liman closely. At this moment, he could only follow the chance of life in the Khan Fang Younai's servants.
In the middle of the night, the Badai tribe and the Saman tribe launched a sneak attack on the Zheng army camp, and they were caught with crossbow arrows and left hundreds of corpses. The desert retreated. The next day, the wind was calm and everyone was waiting and spent peacefully. On the third day, Qu Andao led 90,000 soldiers from the Liman tribe to the Wuerna River, and 200,000 mist cavalry gathered together, with a huge momentum. In the evening, the Zheng army's central army arrived. In the sunset, the smoke from the two armies ignited over the grassland, and a war that determined the fate of the grassland was about to break out.
In Liman's tent, Liman held up a golden cup all over the ground and said to more than a dozen knights on both sides: "Drinke wine today, and we will work together to drive the Zheng people out of the grassland tomorrow, and take a trip to the Central Plains to grab some women and property back."
The atmosphere in the tent was warm, and everyone responded with a loud response. The women of Zheng State, silk, wine and tea were the favorites of the people of Beimo. If they could catch the Emperor of Zheng, there would be all these things. Qu Andao sat alone in the corner of the tent, and the shadow of the candlelight covered his figure. He was coldly looking at the people in the tent.
After the banquet, Liman sent everyone away and returned to the tent to ask Qu Ni, "Master, do you see if these people can be used by me?"
Qu Nidao sneered: "The rules on the grassland speak with strength and courage. You have 100,000 soldiers and 10,000 Canglang Army. Luyazhi tried his best to promote the results of your battle with Zheng Qi. Some of these people do mean to surrender, but they are almost in a hurry to conquer the two major tribes of Badai and Saman."
"Tomorrow we will fight Zheng's army, and I will lead the Canglang cavalry to rush for a while and let them see how powerful I am."
The large group of people arrived, and Liman selected the strong men from them to make up for the Canglang Cavalry. Thinking that after subduing the tribes such as Badai, his string control men would reach more than 200,000, and their strength was greater than Kunbo. Liman felt energetic and prosperous.
Love is full of heart.
A basin of cold water was poured on the opposite path of the Qu, "Don't steal chickens and lose rice, and be defeated by the Zheng people. At that time, Badai and Saman tribes are still waiting to annex you."
Li Man calmed down and said, "What the master said is, I was a little proud. I asked Luyazhi carefully. Zheng's crossbows were indeed beneficial and harmful, but you don't have to worry about being able to rush to the nearest Zheng army. Tomorrow I will let a small tribe like Roba attack first. Badai and Saman are on the left and right wings, and Canglang cavalry hides behind. When the Zheng army approaches, they should be able to teach Zheng army a lesson."
"The Zheng army dares to go north to attack the desert, so there must be something to rely on," Qu Nidao pondered: "I don't know what it is? Winch crossbows, crossbows, rockets, these things have been used, what else is there? There is no news leaked. Liman, you must be more careful not to break the Canglang rider, and lose the foundation of your life. It is best not to use the Canglang rider in tomorrow's battle."
The Jinluan tent of Zheng Camp was brightly lit. The emperor listened to Miao Tieshan and Qi Xinwen's report on the military situation with an excited expression. He learned that he had killed thousands of Canglang cavalry, killed more than 20,000 people from the Canglang army, captured more than 10,000 people from the Naiju army, and seized countless cattle and sheep. Shi Fangzhen laughed and said, "This is a great victory, the most important achievement of the Northern Expedition. Miao Qing and Qi Qing are invaluable. I will reward you after returning to the army."
Miao Tieshan and Qi Xinwen stood up to thank him. Shi Fangzhen said, "Tomorrow, the decisive battle with the people of the Desert will be held. I will personally visit the battlefield and cheer for the soldiers."
Wang Keming felt bitter in his heart. The emperor's move seemed to encourage morale, but there was no eyebrow on the battlefield. If the emperor was hurt, no one could bear the blame. But seeing Shi Fang's face was full of excitement, no one dared to stop him. He only sent more experts to protect him. After coming out of the Golden Treasure Potential, Wang Keming, Miao Tieshan and Qi Xinwen went to the Shangguan to discuss for a long time. After considering various measures to respond, they dispersed.
On the fifth day of the seventh month, the sun shone brightly above the Wuera River, and the sound of war drums and trumpets resounded throughout the world. More than 100,000 people spread the green grassland with mottled colors such as black, gray, brown, and yellow. The swords and guns shone cold light, the flags danced like forests, and the murderous aura scattered the clouds.
Shi Fangzhen looked opposite under the escort of the generals. The Moqi was lined up in a team of more than three miles wide, like an iron wall, and the sturdy pressure came from the air. He looked left and right. Zheng Qi beside him was wearing bright light armor and holding a saber. He was majestic and majestic, not inferior to the Moqi opposite. Shi Fangzhen felt much more attentive and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers, I hope you will fight for the enemy bravely. I should personally beat the drums to cheer."
Wang Keming took the lead and shouted: "Long live long!"
"Long live long!" The shouts from near to far, and the shouts of nearly 100,000 people were shocking. Shi Fang's ears were really excited. This shout was much more beautiful than those of the civil and military ministers above the Golden Palace. This was the shout that the emperor should have heard.
Shi Fangzhen raised the whip in his hand high and signaled to the army. The shouting became more and more deafening. Li Man on the opposite side said with envy and sarcastic words: "The Emperor Zheng is so funny. If you regard the grassland as his golden hall, let the iron cavalry in the desert make him sober. Jitu, take the warriors of your tribe to teach the Emperor Zheng a lesson."
Jitu agreed loudly, pulled out a scimitar and urged the horse to come to his tribe. His tribe was on the left. With a command, 20,000 cavalrymen of the Saman tribe roared towards the Zheng army.
Shi Fangzhen was drummed by the shouts of long live
He was so excited that he saw the Moqiu coming out on the opposite side and shouted loudly: "I want to beat the drums myself to cheer for the soldiers."
Last night, the emperor said that the drums were cheering. The emperor had no joke. Whether it was true or false, Wang Keming and others were all prepared. The red-edged cowhide drum, half a foot radius, was carried to Shi Fangzhen by four soldiers. Shi Fangzhen jumped off the horse, picked up the drumstick and beat it hard on the drum. How could Shi Fangzhen beat the drum? After a few "dongdong" sounds, the "rumbling" war drum sounded in the Zheng army formation, and the real offensive orders sounded.
Hearing the sound of drums, Qi Xinwen from the right wing of Zheng army replaced the military order with a sabre. The sabre raised his forward finger, and the Zheng cavalry headed towards the desert cavalry like a flood. Before the fight, the arrow rain rose first, and countless arrows were intertwined in the clear sky, woven a large net of death.
The feather arrow "swooshed" through the sky and the sound of the sound of getting closer and closer. A flowing arrow flew past Shi Fangzhen. Shi Fangzhen was shocked. Seeing that the flowing arrows became dense, Shi Fangzhen gritted his teeth and held on. Wang Keming said respectfully: "Long live, please move to the observation platform. When the soldiers saw Long live to watch the battle, they would naturally fight to fight the enemy with a hundredfold spirit."
A two-meter-high wooden platform was set up in the formation. Shi Fangzhen, accompanied by Wang Keming, climbed to the platform. The top of the platform was two meters in radius. Along the masters of Long Guard were guarding with shields. The guards were strong under the wooden platform. Shi Fangzhen took the stage to watch and saw the situation on the battlefield. The light cavalry led by Qi Xinwen fought with the Moren's horse team, and there was no chance of winning or losing.
Li Man saw the high platform erected in the Zheng people's army, and Emperor Zheng, dressed in bright yellow clothes, stood on the platform to watch the battle, and said with a smile: "Master, Emperor Zheng people is looking for death. He stands on the platform and has nowhere to hide. I want to lead the Canglang cavalry to the platform to catch Emperor Zheng people. There is no need to fight this battle. Even if he can't catch the dog emperor, as long as he steps off the stage to hide, the Zheng army will be invincible and will win this battle."
Qu Nidao's eyes flashed with a faint light. Li Man said it right. Emperor Zheng climbed to the high platform to reveal his target, but it was a mistake. The Canglang cavalry was extremely brave and could rush under the high platform in one go. If he could really capture Emperor Zheng, the revenge of destroying the family might be repaid today.
"You ask the Badai tribe to launch an attack, I guess the Zheng people will shoot with crossbow arrows first. After the crossbow arrows stop, you ask the 20,000 troops to try to attack. The Canglang Army is hidden behind, looking for opportunities to rush to the high platform, and do not attack vigorously." Qu Nidao reminded.
Liman nodded and ordered Suluman to lead his troops to charge. Badai's troops were on the right, and he was facing the Miao Tieshan troops. Seeing the Moqi rushing towards him, Miao Tieshan was still as moving as a mountain. Seeing the Moqi entering the range of a hundred steps, he ordered: "Winding crossbow shooting."
The thick crossbow arrow pierced out with a sharp roar, shooting the running horse backwards, and hitting the horse behind it heavily. Ten crossbows shot the Moqi forward with ten gaps. The Moqi's offensive stopped, and Su Luman shouted: "It is not easy for Zheng people to fire the crossbow arrows. Everyone moves forward, and you don't have to worry as long as you get close."
The Moqi regrouped and rushed forward like a tide. Sure enough, the fifty-step crossbow arrow was fired again, causing very little casualties to the Moqi. Seeing the Moqi enter thirty steps, Miao Tieshan shouted: "Shooting the crossbow."
Five thousand crossbows were divided into five rows by Miao Tieshan, with a row of thousands of people attacking crossbows. Each crossbow had at least three crossbow arrows, and 15,000 crossbow arrows caused more than a thousand people in Badai's army to fall down.
The remaining Moqi was only more than ten steps away from the Zheng army's front. Miao Tieshan shouted: "Hold up a shield, set up a gun, and fight."
The war is coming.
