Chapter 816(2/3)
King Shunning, King Xianyi, and King Anle ruled Oara. Among them, King Mahamu of Shunning was the most powerful.
The Termu tribe is a tribe belonging to the faction of King Mahamu of Shunning, and its tribal leader is called Chazhan.
In late spring, in March, the grass grows and orioles fly, which is another sight on the grasslands of the Western Regions.
The original spring came very softly, with gentle spring breeze and silent spring rain. Before you know it, you will find a touch of new green on the branches. From a distance, it looks as bright and yellow as smoke. But here, spring comes as cold as winter.
It was as sudden as the wind. Yesterday, the rivers were frozen and snow covered thousands of miles. Suddenly overnight, the rivers thawed and the vegetation grew strong.
What follows is its wind. The spring breeze here is by no means gentle. It is warm, but it is difficult to make people feel relaxed and happy because the wind is too strong and the newly revived vegetation cannot cover the entire ground.
When you get up, there will be dust, which will blow people all over their body and face, which is really annoying.
The weather today is very good, a rare sunny day, but the wind is not strong. The sky is clear, like transparent crystal, and the white clouds are floating below. It seems that it is thousands of miles away from the distant sky, but it is less than a hundred miles away from the grass below.
Rice, it seems that with a bow and an arrow, it can shoot into the clouds.
The green grassland has no end in front and no end in back. There are rolling mountains more than ten miles wide to the left and right. The green mountains on the left are green, and the snow-capped mountains higher up can be seen. The mountains on the right are made of black stones, with no grass growing on them.
The geography is very strange.
The sound of hooves rumbled and the earth trembled.
Chazhan, the leader of the Termu tribe, was galloping on this narrow grassland with more than a hundred warriors on horseback.
On a horse next to Chazhan is a young man. Although his face is that of a young man, still with a childish look that has not faded, he is tall and tall, not inferior to many adults.
Chazhan was riding his horse while talking to the young man: "In more than a hundred miles, we will reach the tribe of Boluo. The tribe of Boluo is eight miles away from Bielse and Hami. It is the closest and mainly engaged in business, so
His tribe is very wealthy. His little daughter Saren is a famous little beauty, you will definitely like her."
"Uncle Chazhan, I don't care what she looks like."
The young man smiled, with a calmness that was befitting his age: "Even if she is extremely ugly, I will still marry her. After getting married, grandpa's tribe can get financial help from the Polo tribe.
Our position in the Oara tribe will be more stable, we can buy more weapons and armor, and support more powerful forces. One day..."
The young man did not continue speaking, but cast his gaze into the distance and said softly: "One day, what we have will be more than just this piece of grassland."
"A good old man, a hero, a good man, this is what makes great things happen."
Cha Zhanqiao pointed his finger and praised: "As expected of the grandson of King Shunning. Such a bold and ambitious person. It's amazing that this time he said that he would discuss the alliance. It was very important to your grandfather's great cause. Your father should have come forward in person, but it's a pity that he is here."
The war in the east has to be handled by me as my uncle. Your father is my Anda, and you are like my nephew. I will definitely handle this matter successfully."
The young man said: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led an expedition to attack the Tatars. Although the Ming army is powerful, they cannot stay on the fortress for a long time. If the Tatars are defeated, these thousands of miles of grassland will be ours. Grandpa attaches great importance to this
, so I asked my father to lead an army to secretly ambush at the Tatar border, and just wait for the Tatars to be defeated, and then snatch their grasslands. Dad is doing big things. If it weren't for this boring marriage, I would definitely go with him.
.”
Chazhan laughed loudly: "Boring? Hahaha, you little guy, your words are really interesting. You are still too young. When you get older, you will know how cute women are."
The young man smiled disapprovingly, put his hand on the awning and looked into the distance, and suddenly asked: "Uncle Chazhan, we are going hundreds of miles to Polo, why don't we bring more soldiers and horses?"
Chazhan smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is our territory in Oara, and it is also where my Telmu tribe has been stationed for many years. Who dares to stroke your uncle Chazhan's tiger beard? Especially now that Timur's army is trying to fight with
In the battle of the Ming Dynasty, Timur's army will not challenge Zanwala at this time, and the Ming Dynasty army has retreated to Jiayuguan, so there is nothing to worry about."
"So……"
The young man pointed his riding whip forward and asked in a deep voice: "Is that huge force in front of us sent by the Polo tribe to greet us?"
"Um?"
Cha Zhan raised his head when he heard the sound. At the end of the undulating grassy slope, there was no one or a horse in sight, but with just one glance, his expression still changed.
The weather today was very good, and the visibility was very high. Although there was no one or one horse in front of us, the smoke rising in the air in the distance clearly indicated that a large cavalry team was approaching quickly.
It could only be a cavalry force. This place is already a well-traveled place. There are not a large number of wild horses and buffalo herds. If it is grazing, it is impossible for them to run like this in a straight line. If it is a caravan..., they will not be able to
Maybe I can travel at this speed.
At this time, the dust in the farthest place was extremely high and spread out at the same time, like a dragon's head with its mouth wide open. The dragon's tail had just left the ground and was about to fly into the sky, but he leaned forward from his horse and continued.
The tail seemed to be just the dragon's body that had just left the ground, because underneath it, there was a line of smoke and dust that was about to rise, which was a line of dust that had just been raised by the cavalry.
There is wind today, although it is not strong, it can still blow away the dust. This long dragon-like dust is still lingering. There is only one explanation, and that is that the other party is running very fast, and the wind has not had time to blow away the long dragon formed by the dust.
, they have reached the distance, how fast is this?
Cha Zhan's expression changed and he immediately ordered his guards to be on guard.
The most sensible thing to do is, of course, to turn your horse and run away as soon as the dust rises. In that case, the other party may not be able to catch up. But who is the other party? Is it because of him? These things have not been clarified at all.
, Chazhan is also an Otok (lord), he doesn’t even know who the visitor is or what he wants to do, so he just rides away and flees. Isn’t it a big joke?
People on the grasslands respect heroes the most. If he does this, even his subordinates will look down on him. Besides, Lord Mahamu’s grandson is right next to him. If he tells this joke to his grandfather,
His face was about to be lost to the sky, so Chazhan gave the order to stay on guard, first find out the identity of the other party, and then talk about the purpose of rushing.
Behind him, there was actually an enemy force laying an ambush. If they turned back and fled, they would have to be stopped. This force left the tribe from Chazhan and had already stopped far away. But their number was relatively large.
There were only half of Chazhan's troops. If Chazhan made a decisive decision and turned back, they would have to make heavy sacrifices to delay Chazhan's escape. Chazhan's actions of being on guard at the same place greatly shocked them who were far behind.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Something's wrong, Uncle Chazhan, we should run away immediately."
The young man's eyesight was extremely sharp. When he noticed that there was also dust and gray mist on Yibi in the distance on the left and right sides, he finally realized that the opponent's target must be his team, but by this time it was already too late.
The men and horses rushing towards the front were like the spring breeze outside the Great Wall, suddenly swept in front of us. The dust was still two miles away, and a row of war horses appeared on a grassy slope in front, as if a flood had crossed the hillside.
Coming in turbulence.
Lai Qi formed a horizontal formation more than two miles wide and surrounded them with great force.
"Shooting arrows to stop the enemy"
The rumble of horse hooves and the shouts of killing were deafening. Many horses in Chazhan's team turned uneasily. Chazhan drew his sword and ordered his men to fire arrows to ward off the enemy. While observing the surrounding situation, he pointed to the west.
He shouted: "While the enemy has not yet surrounded us, let's open a gap from here and rush out."
"Swish swish"
Arrows shot like rain. When Chazhan's waiting subordinates fired arrows to stop the enemy, the cavalry team that came on horseback with an astonishing momentum also fired arrows to fight back. Regardless of identity, no one was left alive, and arrows were fired in unison.
Differential shooting.
A sharp whistle of arrows suddenly flew through the air, and the horse under the crotch of a guard at the front let out a scream. An arrow penetrated the horse's eye, and it screamed in pain, knocking the knight on the horse to the ground. Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Whoosh, sharp arrows were falling, and both sides had men, horses, and arrows. In three breaths, the cavalry was approaching. The cavalry at the front had already sheathed their bows and drawn their swords, and rushed into the Chazhan team.
The sharp arrows from both sides killed one-third of Chazhan's men. The rest were in chaos. They had just gathered to prepare for a breakout. After less than a hundred steps, the cavalry rushing from the flanks had already arrived. Another round of long-range attacks.
That kind of cruelty, that kind of aura that will kill people, as if the two sides have already had sworn enemies.
"Why? Who are you?"
Chazhan's eyes were about to burst. Before the battle began, he killed most of his men. The other party's unreasonable killings almost drove him crazy.
No one answered. The other party seemed to come just to kill people. Arrows flew across the sky. The guards at the front who were preparing to break out had just fired the arrows and shouted wildly and fell off their horses. The enemy pulled out their sharp sabers and rushed into his camp.
.
The rain was like a heavy rain. Although Chazhan's guards were considered elite, they were not as good as the opponent's combat power. The opponent's men and horses had an absolute advantage, and their fighting style was so terrifying. The unprepared Chazhan guards were instantly
They were all killed in a short time.
The two guards beside the young man who had just hung up their bows and arrows and were about to draw their swords and fight were hit by several sharp arrows in the chest, and they fell heavily off their horses. As soon as the thrilling screams reached the young man's ears, a cleaver was struck on the head.
"I am……"
With just one blow, the boy's knife was knocked away. He screamed and wanted to reveal his identity. No matter who the person came, the grandson of Mahamu, the actual "Khan" of Wala, was better alive than dead.
Is it valuable?
But before he could finish his words, someone stretched his shoulders and pulled his hips, and split him in half with a knife. Half of his body was still sitting on the horse, while the other half of his body, including his head, had fallen into the dust, and his heart, liver, and intestines were clattering from the place where he was split diagonally.
It dripped all over the ground.
The horse was frightened and ran forward wildly, dragging a long section of its intestines. Unexpectedly, as soon as it ran a few steps, another person chopped off a huge horse's head. They not only killed people, but also wanted to leave no one behind.
, what kind of hatred is this to have such ruthless methods?
"Nephew goes first, goes first."
Cha Zhan was fighting. When he saw the young man being killed, he screamed in agony. His heart felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured into it, and it was so cold that it hurt. That was Lord Mahamu's grandson, his good brother.
My beloved son who is in trouble, how should he explain to Lord Mahamu, how should he explain to his sworn brother in trouble?
Cha Zhan's liver and gallbladder were split, and his pupils were bleeding. Four or five enemy cavalry who came out of nowhere around him took the opportunity to fight with him like a revolving door. They actually stabbed him in the leg and blood flowed like a stream. Cha Zhan was furious and sad.
, tongue bursting with spring thunder, roaring loudly, and waving his saber in a frantic manner
Enemies came from all directions. Most of the troops and horses in the Chaos were first killed by the fierce arrow rain, and then were killed to pieces by the enemy cavalry that broke in. Although they killed many of the enemies under their fierce counterattack, they still killed many of them.
The enemy cavalry that rushed towards them did not care or care. It seemed that they were just killing weapons without any emotion or consciousness. They only wanted to kill the enemy without considering any sacrifices.
More than a hundred people were killed in an instant. Chazhan, who had an arrow stuck in his shoulder, was crying without tears, and the last dozen or so guards were surrounded. These guards were all skilled.
People who were agile and skilled in martial arts first relied on their riding skills and luck hidden in stirrups to escape the opponent's sudden rain of arrows, and then fought desperately to save their lives in the melee. At this moment, everyone was injured.
The total number of people guarding Chazhan was less than twenty.
To be continued...
