[Chapter 420] Black Feather Arrow, Xu Xingxia is here!
(0420)
What was the White Army buried in the straw man? Of course it was an explosive pack! The explosive pack was buried inside the straw man. The straw man started to burn from above. Before Mars could ignite the fuse, the cavalry outside naturally didn't feel anything. However, when the fire kept burning, the fuse was finally ignited. What was waiting for the cavalry was a catastrophe.
In order to implement Lin Danhan's orders, many cavalrymen kept crowding in and swinging their swords at the straw men. As a result, a large number of cavalrymen gathered around each straw man. Some of them even gathered hundreds of people. It can be said that the two elite cavalrymen of the 1,000 teams, except for the four or five hundred people who went to chase the white-clothed army, were all next to the straw man. When the explosives exploded violently, the cavalrymen around them suffered severe damage, and even if they did not die, they were seriously injured.
How powerful is the explosive pack explosion? Gao Jie buried in the grass man this time, all the explosive packs filled with fifty kilograms, which belong to the most powerful type. The distance is so close that there is no buffer space at all. After the fierce explosion, less than 10% of the surrounding cavalry could survive by chance. In other words, these two iron-spout cavalry teams, except for those who went to chase the white-clothed army, were basically wiped out. The worst thing was that the two commanders of the thousand-man were not even found, and they probably wouldn't be found in the future.
"What's going on? Why is this happening? Why is this happening?" Lin Danhan was stunned. He was so surprised that he thought the straw men had been destroyed and it was fine. Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was such a loud noise again. He had not yet discovered that his two thousand-man teams were basically gone. However, subconsciously, he felt that this was definitely not a good thing.
A moment later, Guiying had to bite the bullet and report the matter to Lin Danhan simply. He dared not report such a big thing truthfully. He felt that the cold sweat behind him had already flowed into his crotch. Since Lin Danhan ascended the throne, the Iron Spear Cavalry had not suffered such a big loss. He reimbursed two thousand-man teams at one time. I don’t know how to vent Lin Danhan’s anger? Don’t draw his sword! It’s so terrifying!
Unexpectedly, after listening to Gui Yingcha's report, Lin Danhan was not angry. On the contrary, he wanted to laugh a little. Yes, he really wanted to laugh. If there were no one else, he would definitely laugh loudly. Even he himself didn't know why he felt so absurd. However, this feeling really existed. Perhaps, it was him who once again realized Xu Xingxia's cunning and the coldness of the White Army. Such an opponent deserves his attention.
To be honest, Lin Danhan never took Xu Xingxia in front of him. Even if he suffered the loss of Xu Xingxia at Zhenyuan Pass, he only regarded Xu Xingxia as an enemy, an enemy who must be eliminated and quickly. He never put Xu Xingxia on an equal footing with himself, and he never felt that Xu Xingxia was qualified to be on an equal footing with him. Xu Xingxia was his enemy, not his opponent. There was obviously a fundamental difference between the two. The enemy could be eliminated at any time. The opponent was qualified to compete with him.
As a pure successor to the Golden Family, as the leader of the largest tribe, as the future Golden Khan of the Great Prairie, or even the Sun Khan of the future Empire, Lin Danhan must look superior to anyone and be condescending. Even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not have the qualifications to be on par with him in his subconscious mind, let alone Xu Xingxia. If it weren't for Tesna's relationship, he would not have the interest in dealing with Xu Xingxia at all. Fighting with a person like Xu Xingxia would have been reduced to his own status!
What is Xu Xingxia? He is a small thousand households of the Ming army! Or an informal agent! Who are the Ming officials who deal with Lin Danhan? The youngest is also a general, deputy general, etc., usually the governor, governor, supervisor of various military branches. If there is a major negotiation, there will even be important officials of the court appearing on the border. Compared with them, what is Xu Xingxia? He can't even count as mud in his feet.
This time, Lin Danhan led an army of 30,000 to attack Bayannur grassland with a mighty army. In fact, there are two purposes. On the one hand, it is to avenge revenge and kill Xu Xingxia's arrogance. You Xu Xingxia are not very arrogant? Didn't you defeat the Helejin tribe of the Tatars? Didn't you break through Ningxia City and try to rebel? Okay, I'm here to teach you now, let you know what war is! Let you know who is the real lord of the grassland!
On the other hand, it is to control the Bayannur Grassland. Lin Danhan was also moved by such a pasture with abundant water and grass. No one would think that his territory was too large. The more the farms the *** people controlled, the stronger their strength. At the same time, from a strategic perspective, the more people controlled the Bayannur Grassland, it could also prevent the Tatars from reaching out to Yinshan and the area south of Daqingshan. It would be very beneficial for the future strategy of the *** people.
However, no matter which purpose it was, Lin Danhan did not regard Xu Xingxia as a real opponent, an opponent who could compete with him. How could Xu Xingxia be worthy of being his opponent? He never thought that with Xu Xingxia's little military strength, he could block his tens of thousands of troops. This time, there was basically no difficulty. The only thing he had to measure was how to give Xu Xingxia the most colors. As a result, he had not yet arrived at the Bayannur grassland, and he had been taught again and again by Xu Xingxia.
Lin Danhan could not care about the sporadic losses before. The death and injury of hundreds of people was nothing. He had some soldiers and could replenish the gap at any time. Even if he lost a non-main thousand-person team, he would not feel very heartbroken. In a war, people would definitely die, and someone would definitely act as cannon fodder. However, when two pure iron spear cavalry teams also suffered a catastrophe, Lin Danhan could not help but feel heartbroken.
The reason why the iron spear cavalry is strong is not only because of their good equipment, but also because of their good basic qualities, good training, good treatment, and absolute loyalty to themselves. Every iron spear cavalry is qualified to join this team after the competition. Their innate conditions are quite good. Every ten-men, centurion, and thousand-men have good abilities. Since the establishment of the Iron Spear Cavalry, it has not experienced such heavy losses. It is impossible for anyone to bear the loss of two thousand-person teams at one time!
"Golden Sweat..." Na Risong asked softly. Lin Danhan's reaction was very wrong. The nobles around him were very worried. Their eyes were nervously falling on Lin Danhan's golden sword. If Lin Danhan drew his sword in anger and chopped Gui Yingcha, it would be troublesome. Although Gui Yingcha, a little bit annoying, would die if he died, his lips were dead! He cut Gui Yingcha this time, who would be next time?
"Continue to attack! Kill them!" Lin Danhan said coldly.
His reaction made the nobles around him even more worried. Lin Danhan's words sounded like he didn't mean to be angry. This was absolutely abnormal! He lost two iron spear cavalry teams, how could he not be angry? Those were his treasure eggs! If he was not angry, he would not be Lin Danhan! Little did he know that Lin Danhan was really not angry. Because, from now on, he officially listed Xu Xingxia as an opponent who could compete with him.
Since he is an opponent, it means that he cannot easily kill the opponent. Victory and defeat are commonplace. Xu Xingxia's two thousand-person teams are the price he paid for his previous misunderstanding. Now, he must re-examine his strategy. He needs to study the opponent more carefully, think about the opponent, and find the opponent's strengths and weaknesses more seriously, so as to formulate more appropriate strategies.
"What are you doing while standing there? Go!" Lin Danhan suddenly found that Gui Yingcha was still standing still, and he was a little angry. What did this guy do for food? Isn't his order clear enough? Or is he brave enough to disobey his orders? Is he completely scared Gui Yingcha? This poor brother-in-law thought Lin Danhan was torturing him in a different way.
"Abide by the order! Obey... the order!" Guiyingcha's whole body became cold and he hurriedly went.
The nobles around them all breathed a sigh of relief. They all saw that Lin Danhan was really not angry. This was definitely not his intentional concealment, but that he was really not angry. However, although he was not angry, everyone felt that he was even more terrifying. A big sweat who could control his emotions and no longer act impulsively was definitely even more terrifying than before! Perhaps, this is the blessing of the ***!
"Da da da da!"
Flashes of horse hooves sounded, and the *** cavalry moved out again.
Of course, Guiying did not dare to neglect the punishment from Lin Danhan's subordinates. He really hated those cunning and hateful white-clothed troops. He secretly vowed that if they were not wiped out, he would not go back to the naturalized city alive. He exerted his power to the extreme. All the troops he could mobilize were mobilized. For a moment, five or six thousand-person teams began to move. More than half of these thousand-person teams were iron-spray cavalry.
At this time, the iron-spillar cavalry that had pursued the White-Clothed Army cavalry before also came back one after another. They were all recalled by Gui Yingcha. If Gui Yingcha had not been ordered by Gui Yingcha, they would not dare to come back. Who would not be afraid of Lin Danhan's golden sword? Unfortunately, they chased each other desperately along the way, but the results of the pursuit were blank. To be more precise, they not only did not chase the White-Clothed Army, but instead lost a lot of people themselves.
Since the White Army was determined to give up these straw men, they naturally had already prepared to retreat. They had planned the route of retreat long ago. There were ambushings in every key place. If there were no pursuers to follow, they would be safe. If there were any pursuers to follow, they would be hit on them with a headache. This move was originally the Diaoqi Army and the Eagle Cavalry's best. Even if the soldiers of the Mastiff Cavalry did not understand, they would just learn from friendly forces. The Iron-splitter Cavalry chased them very quickly, but instead suffered several ambushings, intermittently, and lost hundreds of people.
"Chasing! You must catch up with those damn Huzas! Even if you chase them to the ends of the world and to the horizon, you must chase them! If you don't come back with Huza's head, don't come to see me! If you don't kill these damn Huzas, you will not be warriors in the prairie!" Guiyingcha also took his own risk and issued a death order to the *** cavalry that launched the pursuit. He also drew out his golden sword and told his subordinates clearly. If they have not completed the task, sorry, stretch their necks!
Gui Yingcha estimated that the number of white-clothed troops around him would be hundreds of people. He dispatched five or six thousand people in one breath and desperately pursued the opponent, and his troops were absolutely superior. Unless the white-clothed cavalry did not appear. Otherwise, as long as they appeared, the *** cavalry would persevere and chase him until they killed him. In this process, no matter how expensive the price was paid, he would not care. This was what Lin Danhan meant.
"Da da da da!"
"Da da da da!"
"Da da da da!"
The sound of horse hooves like thunder sounded, and a large number of cavalrymen spread their horse hooves in different directions and galloped away. From the first step of their war horses, the result between them and the White-Clothed Army was the result of immortality. Either the White-Clothed Army killed them. Or they killed the White-Clothed Army. There was absolutely no possibility of coexistence between the two. The battle that should have occurred in the Bayannur grassland was completely transferred here by Lin Danhan.
As for Bayannur Grassland, Lin Danhan felt that it was not important. Since he had regarded Xu Xingxia as his opponent, it meant that the battle between the two would be long-term, difficult and tortuous. No matter who it was, there was no possibility of a quick battle. His current task was not to seize Bayannur Grassland, but to understand the background of the White-Clothed Army. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle! He really wanted to know what skills did the White-Clothed Army trained by Xu Xingxia personally have.
"Tai Chiwu!"
Lin Danhan suddenly shouted loudly.
"Golden Khan! Tai Chiwu is willing to serve you!"
The commander named Taichiwu hurried over to wait for instructions.
"Taichiwu, I will give you three of the most elite thousand-man teams! You must kill them! No matter what method you take, you must kill those damn Huzas! If you can capture them alive in front of me, I will reward you with your own hands!" Lin Danhan pressed his palm against the handle of the golden saber, his face was cold and he said slowly.
He had seen the troops sent by Guiyingcha. However, Lin Danhan felt that this was not enough. More troops were needed. Judging from the previous battles, the number of white-clothed troops was at least a few hundred. A single musket volley could kill two or three hundred cavalrymen. Such lethality is still very terrible. It should not be underestimated.
Tai Chiwu is one of the most powerful ten thousand men under his command. His best ability is to pursue and fight tirelessly. He is like a machine that only knows how to fight. As long as the enemy has not been killed, his battle will not stop. Every time Lin Danhan goes to war, Tai Chiwu takes the lead in encountering tough battles! This guy is indeed too tough!
"Abide by the order!"
Tai Chiwu was immediately overjoyed and grinned.
The previous battle greatly limited his range of activities, leaving him with almost no chance to perform his skills. Now, with Lin Danhan's permission, his skills can finally be fully utilized. As long as he continues to chase and kill, he will definitely be able to kill the White Army. Basically, it is certain that this time, he can start a big kill again.
The three thousand-man teams Lin Danhan assigned to Taichiwu were indeed the elite among the elite, all of which were the backbone of the Iron-Spin Cavalry. Even the black-clad cavalry that Guiyingcha originally commanded were among them. It can be seen how determined Lin Danhan had made to deal with these white-clad soldiers. Indeed, when he was not angry, it was much more terrifying than when he was angry.
If so many elite troops were dispatched and unable to deal with the White Army, the generals led the team would probably not have to wait for Lin Danhan's golden sword to chop his head, and he would commit suicide and apologize. I can't afford to lose this face! If ten cavalrymen can't win against a White Army cavalry, what kind of face do you have to meet?
"kill!"
Tai Chiwu immediately ordered an attack.
"Da da da da!"
"Da da da da!"
"Da da da da!"
Another fierce sound of horse hooves came, just like rolling spring thunder.
It has to be said that this time, Lin Danhan once again caught the shortcomings of the White-Clothed Army. After the continuous battle, the White-Clothed Army was indeed very tired. Whether it was the Eagle Cavalry, the Eagle Cavalry, or the Mastiff Cavalry, the physical exhaustion had reached its limit. The worst thing was that their war horses had been completely exhausted. They could only sprint for a short distance, and if they ran a long distance, there would definitely be problems. Now, the *** cavalry was targeting this point, chasing and fighting hard, and pestering them all, regardless of the cost, even if they died, they would drag the White-Clothed Army to death.
Wang Xia realized the danger of the situation at the first time. They successfully attracted Lin Danhan's hatred, but also brought him a fatal threat. The white-clothed army of hundreds of people was as fragile as an ant in front of tens of thousands of cavalrymen. They had no possibility of continuing to fight, they could only retreat. Even if they retreat, it would be extremely difficult. He said in a deep voice: "Gao Jie, the *** people have taken the bait, let's go!"
Gao Jie nodded without saying anything. Of course, he also realized the danger of the situation. All of this was created by him. Now, his plan has been successful. At the same time, he has also put himself in danger. He is sure that as the initiator, if he is caught by the ***, he will definitely have good fruits to eat. He can think of it with his heels that Lin Danhan will vent all his anger on him.
After a while, Wang Xia and Gao Jie summoned the troops and said straight to the point: "Brothers! The *** people have been fooled, our plan has been successful! Bayannur grassland is safe! Now, the *** people are coming for us! Our mission is not a battle, but a breakthrough! Everyone runs scatteredly! Run as fast as you can! Don't fight in love! Don't run towards Bayannur grassland! If unfortunately falls into the hands of the enemy, everyone chooses for themselves!"
"If it really doesn't work, everyone will find a way to save their lives. The lord will definitely save you! You have done everything you can do! You have no regrets! Even if you surrender, no one will blame you! You must believe the lord! He will never let you fall into Lin Danhan's hands for too long! As long as you can survive the darkest time, we can continue to fight together in the future! We are always brothers!"
"I will never surrender!"
"I will never surrender!"
"I will never surrender!"
The white-clothed army below made a series of shouts to the sky.
A large part of the soldiers of the White Army were from Han slaves who were released by the Tartars. They had been treated inhuman by the Tartars and knew deeply that they would lose their freedom, dignity, and relatives. They did not want to face such a terrible fate again. Therefore, without any education, they would never surrender. Even if they died, they would not want to fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Let's go!"
Gao Jie waved his hand and led everyone to retreat to the south. Their strategy was to continue to hold the *** cavalry, let them continue to entangle with the White Army, and completely forget the direction of the Bayannur grassland. The delay time naturally the longer the better. They sped and dispersed their teams. In addition to the Bayannur grassland, there were cavalry of the White Army in every direction. Even the cavalry of the White Army went directly to Guihua City.
The Eagle Cavalry and Eagle Cavalry scattered soldiers led by Wang Xia were familiar with the surrounding terrain, so they took the lead in evacuating to the southeast. The southeast was actually the most dangerous. Because the reinforcements of the White-Clothed Army were set off from Zhenyuan Pass and came from the southwest. They retreated to the southeast and had no chance of encountering reinforcements of the White-Clothed Army. In other words, their future could only rely on themselves, and there were no friendly forces to help them.
The Mastiff Cavalry led by Gao Jie received strong care from friendly forces in this battle. Considering that they were new to the prairie and were not familiar with the grassland, they decided to let their companions retreat southwest. In this direction, it is possible to encounter reinforcements from the White-Clothed Army. As long as they encounter reinforcements from the White-Clothed Army, they will be rescued. In terms of survival chances, the chance of retreating in this direction is the greatest, and they are most likely to survive.
"Wang Xia, be careful! I will look for you!" Gao Jie was moved by a rare feeling.
He was originally a kind of unruly and cold-hearted guy. Except for a very few people, he would hardly be nice to outsiders. Otherwise, he would not be so bloodthirsty and would like to count the enemy's casualties. It can be said that Gao Jie had almost no other hobbies except killing people. However, this time, he was really moved.
Because the retreat path chosen by Wang Xia and the others is a dead end! The Diaoqi Army and the Eagle Cavalry completely used their own sacrifices to exchange for the survival of the Mastiff Cavalry! With their familiarity with the grassland, if they chose to retreat in the southwest direction, their chances of survival were definitely very high. However, they still chose the southeast direction. What kind of feeling is that Gao Jie cannot describe. However, he cried.
"What are you talking about? Go quickly! It's too late!" Wang Xia raised his whip, whipped Gao Jie hard on Gao Jie's butt, and drove Gao Jie away. Then, he took the Diaoqi Army and the soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry to retreat to the southeast. After Gao Jie was stunned, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, waved his hand hard, and also took the soldiers of the Mastiff Cavalry to evacuate to the southwest.
At this time, a large number of *** cavalry caught up. They were like wild wolves, staring at the target, and refused to relax after death. It has to be said that Lin Danhan's move was absolutely effective, and he hit the fatal point of the White-Clothed Army. Their numbers were too large, and even if the White-Clothed Army cavalry could shoot some, they could not kill all. On the contrary, as the horsepower was exhausted and the speed decreased, the White-Clothed Army soldiers were constantly shot to death by the arrows of the **** cavalry.
There were also white-clothed soldiers captured alive, all of whom were shot from the horse, overturned from the horse's back, fell into a coma, and then captured. Many of the people around Gao Jie were also captured. Some were so tired that they fell off the horse's back as they ran. Before he could see their situation, he galloped south desperately. Behind him, the black-clothed cavalry led by Tai Chiwu chased him tightly and refused to relax at all times.
Gao Jie's war horse is of relatively good quality. Even if it has consumed a lot of physical strength, it can still run a short distance. However, Tai Chiwu bit Gao Jie right and refused to let go. He knew very clearly that Gao Jie's war horse would not last long. As long as his war horse fell, his doomsday would come. Tai Chiwu believed that Gao Jie was definitely a big fish, and catching him would definitely be a great achievement.
In fact, Gao Jie's war horse was indeed out of strength. Along the way, it was already breathing white air, foaming at the mouth, and dying. Suddenly, it finally couldn't bear it and knelt down. Gao Jie on the horse was thrown out hard and no longer felt any more. He was already drowsy and had no feeling.
"Catch him alive!"
Tai Chiwu was ecstatic and shouted hurriedly.
A group of *** cavalry rushed forward immediately and tried to capture Gao Jie.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Suddenly, a harsh sound of arrowheads breaking through the air came, and the three cavalrymen on their heads suddenly knocked down from the horse's back. Each of them had a black arrowhead in their chests! The fierce arrowhead passed through their backs, and the arrowhead was still dripping blood.
The other cavalrymen, before they could react, were still rushing forward. Suddenly, there were three consecutive harsh sounds of "swoosh swishing". Three black arrowheads flew over and shot three more horses over and fell to the ground. Due to the great impact of the black arrowheads, the three horses fell to the ground, blocking their companions' route of progress, forcing them to either detour or trip over, and the scene was in chaos.
"Hui Yuyu!"
Tai Chiwu immediately took a breath of air conditioning and hurriedly stopped the war horse.
Black Feather Arrow!
Xu Xingxia is here!
Chapter completed!
