The sky in the distance was already gray and starting to shine. Piao Tian Literature Network () This time is also the time when the sentry who has been on duty all night is the most sleepy. For some reason, the sentry suddenly felt the ground begin to shake. At first he thought it was his hallucination, but when he looked down, the bonfire illuminated his feet, and he could see the residual snow and sand trembling gently under his feet.
This is definitely not my imagination! Could it be that his leader is back? At this time, the dogs in the tribe barked crazily, and the sentry's face changed drastically. He was not one of his own!
The sentry¡¯s shrill cry resounded throughout the tribe, ¡°The enemy is attacking! There is a large group of cavalry!¡±
More shrill shouts followed, and the horns on the watchtower blared for a long time. The entire tribe was alarmed. There were more than two hundred warriors in the tribe who were able to raise their swords and mount their horses. They picked up their weapons and poured out of their respective tents. .
In the faintly discernible sky, groups of cavalry figures suddenly appeared in the distance. It was only then that the rumble of horse hooves was heard. No one could see how many cavalry there were. They could only see that they completely covered the already faint light in the sky into darkness, and they surged over like a wall layer by layer!
As we get closer, the sound of horse hooves roars like thunder, but you can clearly hear the number of horses hooves hitting the ground, as clear as infantry marching to the beat of a drum! This is a well-trained cavalry unit, all the Otok herdsmen thought with pale faces.
The sun in the distance rose little by little. The knights on the opposite side stood there silently wearing ferocious masks. Their weapons and armors were shining coldly under the reflection of the morning light. There were two large poles among them. One flag was embroidered with a leopard making a leaping motion, and the other flag read 'Guards, Cavalry General, Money' in large gold letters. The two military flags were roaring with the cold wind on the grassland. Seeing those Chinese characters, the hearts of the Otok herdsmen sank little by little. No one would be lucky enough to think that those cavalry were just passing by or We are here to visit.
The morning sunshine always makes people think of hope, but today the herdsmen of the Otok tribe don¡¯t think so. They look at the golden sunshine with infinite nostalgia. Can they still see the sun tomorrow?
"The master and the warriors of the tribe are nearby. We must hold on to the camp. The master will definitely come back to save us!" Some soldiers who stayed behind loudly cheered for the Otok herdsmen.
Hearing this, the herdsmen of the Otok tribe finally saw a glimmer of hope. Yes, the master is still leading more than a thousand warriors who are good at fighting. As long as those who stay behind hold on and wait for the master to return, then the situation inside and outside will be These Han dogs need to be good-looking during a flanking attack!
Harinaohai looked outside with a sad face. The people he sent out yesterday had not come back yet. He had an uneasy premonition in his heart. The warrior leader asked Harinaohai in a low voice how to arrange the defense of the camp. He was full of emotions. Hearing nothing, the warrior had no choice but to shake his head, and overstepping his authority, ordered that all herdsmen who could draw bows and arrows, regardless of gender, young or old, would go into battle.
Naturally, the Otok tribe will not take the initiative to launch an offensive, and the cavalry on the opposite side is also silent. Judging from the posture, it seems that they will continue to stand like this. At least the herdsmen of the Otok tribe hope that they will continue to stand like this and never move.
Suddenly, dozens of carts came out of the camp on the opposite side. Each cart was loaded with things and piled high. Because it was covered with felt cloth, no one could see clearly what was inside. The herdsmen couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, thinking, could it be a Han dog trying to attack with fire? That big cart must be filled with some flammable firewood, right?
Those carts were pulled by horses and no one controlled them. I don¡¯t know why, but the horses were driven by no one, but they all walked towards the Otok tribe consciously, whizzing a ignited rocket from Otok. The rocket was shot from the watchtower of the ministry, and it was centered on the felt cloth. The rocket was quickly extinguished. The cart was not flammable firewood. These Otok herdsmen were confused. What was on the cart?
The cart was getting closer and closer, and the discerning herdsmen discovered that the horses pulling the cart were all war horses from their own tribe. No wonder those horses were heading towards the Otok tribe, but how did these horses get to the Ming army? Already? Some people have noticed something in their hearts, and their hands and legs are shaking involuntarily.
The warrior leader of the tribe who stayed behind pulled a herdsman and said, "Go and have a look!"
The frightened man rode out of the stronghold, ran to those carts, pulled a cart, and then opened the felt cloth, a strong smell of blood hit his face. When he saw those things clearly, the man fell off his horse. When the man stood up, he could no longer control his spirit. He shouted to the camp with a tearful voice, "Master, it is the heads of the master and the others!"
The carts have already entered the camp of the Otok tribe. The felt cloth of each cart has been lifted. There are large bamboo baskets on the carts, which look like they are used to transport grain and grass.Yes, but now it contains human heads, each with shrunken skin and ferocious faces. Even so, everyone can still recognize them at a glance. These people are the tribal warriors who accompanied their leader to kill the enemy yesterday.
There was deathly silence on the faces of everyone in the Otok tribe. Now they finally knew why the Ming troops outside were not in a hurry. The Otok tribe had become a dead place and there were no reinforcements. The Ming troops just planned to play tricks on them slowly. Torture them, just like they tortured the captured Han slaves over the years. At this time, the herdsmen of the Otok tribe felt deep fear in their hearts. Some people even thought that when the Ming army broke through the stronghold, if they had not yet If you are killed by the Ming army, you must commit suicide!
Qian Xing was standing under the two military flags. If someone took off his mask at this time, he would definitely find that his eyes were bloodshot. Not only that, if all the cavalry of the Guards were to take off their masks, then You will find that everyone's eyes are as red as rabbits.
Although they had an absolute advantage, Qian Xing still underestimated the bravery of the Otok warriors. Those tenacious Mongolian warriors cut down their horses, built fortresses and hid in them, resisting desperately. The battle lasted from afternoon to dark. Before Qian Xing used artillery, the Guards did not make any substantial progress. Qian Xing did not want to waste the artillery shells. He also wanted to use these artillery shells to attack the Otok tribe's camp. .
But even with the help of artillery, the Guards struggled for half a night before they completely eliminated all the enemies in the valley. Huhe Bari suggested that Qian Xing go into the valley to test their results after dawn the next day. , but was rejected by the money bank.
Because Qian Xing knew that the people of the Otok tribe were not stupid. Sooner or later, they would realize that something was fishy, ??and they would definitely send someone to contact Narisu. Although the Bald Army successfully intercepted and killed several groups of Otok tribe tourists, Cavalry, but if someone slips through the net, and if they find out that there is such a large group of Ming Army cavalry around the tribe, the Otok tribe will definitely flee as a whole. Then there will be no place for him to chase in the huge grassland. , then he would not be able to complete the task assigned to him by the commander. Although he paid the lives of thirteen outstanding cavalry for this, he still did not regret his decision.
This is why he quickly surrounded the Otok tribe at dawn, regardless of the exhaustion of the Guards all night long. The commander-in-chief's orders must be implemented without reservation, and there must not be any changes, regardless of death. how many people!
"Huhe Bari, you take your troops and disperse around the Otok tribe, and you must not allow anyone to slip through the net. Even a dog from the Otok tribe must be a dog when we leave. Damn it, the commander-in-chief¡¯s order is to permanently erase the name Otok from the grassland!¡±
"Yes, General Qian!" The moment Huhe Bari turned around, he secretly swore that he would never betray Li Dong in this life, let alone fight with Li Dong's men, never! Such a young and perverted subordinate, I really don¡¯t know where Li Dong found him.
At this time, an ox cart came out from the Otok tribe. A man in a cloak was pulling it in front. There was another person sitting in the cart. After a while, they came to the front of the Guards cavalry formation. Qian Xing looked up and down. The person in the car was covered with a thick sheepskin quilt. His face had a sickly red color, and he was breathing rapidly. He looked sickly.
The people in the car slowly opened the quilt, as if they were afraid of disturbing anything. At this time, there were more than a dozen firecrackers pointing at him at the same time. If he acted slightly abnormally, those people would open fire.
He slowly got out of the car, knelt directly beside the car, kowtowed to Qian Xing respectfully, and said in pure Chinese, "My name is Harinaohai, and I am the eldest son of Risu, who is now Otok." The leader of the department!"
Qian Xing smiled slightly, took off his helmet and handed it to the soldier next to him, then turned over and dismounted, straightened his waist, and walked to the front of Harinaohai with a victor's attitude.
¡°Isn¡¯t it a little late to kowtow now?!¡±
"I want to know why the Ming court provokes us?"
"Hahaha, you are provocative? Don't tell me that the two thousand cavalry who entered the customs are not from your Otok tribe?"
Harinaohai lowered his head, unable to see clearly the expression on his face, but his body trembled, "They"
"They went to the underworld before your father. Our Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very angry, and the consequences were serious!" Qian Xing smiled cruelly.
Harinaohai knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly. After a long time, he asked in a choked voice, "How can we calm down your emperor's anger?"
"Yi tribe!"
"Move the tribe? Thank you Emperor Ming for your kindness! I will keep my tribe going north and never look back!"
"You heard wrong, it was razed to the ground!" Qian Xing said in a deep voice.
haZhinaohai's body froze. After a long time, he lay on the ground, took a deep breath, and whispered, "We, the Otok tribe, are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and we are willing to follow the Ming Emperor until death!"
"too late!"
"Is there really no room for negotiation at all?"
"At this time, what do you think?" Qian Xing asked.
"Then you go die!" Harinaohai suddenly said sharply.
The man pulling the cart for Harinaohai suddenly threw off his cloak, revealing the big knife inside. At the same time, he stepped on the edge of the cart and jumped into the air. He raised his knife and slashed at Qian Xing. Qian Xing's soldiers reacted quickly, bang bang bang, ten Several muskets were fired directly, and the man was knocked out in mid-air. But everyone's attention was attracted to that person, and no one thought that Harinao Hai, who was kneeling on the ground, had suddenly risen up. At the same time, a dagger flashed out of his sleeves and stabbed Qian Xing fiercely.
Qian Xing subconsciously turned sideways and blocked it with his arm, causing blood to fly.
Without enough time to cover the wound that was bleeding like a fountain, Qian Xing rolled on the spot. At the same time, he pulled out a short thorn from his waist and stabbed it directly into Harinao Hai's neck.
Harinao Hai covered his neck and fell down, his body twitching, but there was a smile on his face.
"General! General! Military doctor! Call the military doctor quickly!"
Qian Xing's soldiers immediately surrounded him, shouting in a panic. Qian Xing's face was livid, he waved his hands and spit, "Bah, these stinky Tartars still want to imitate Jing Ke and stab the King of Qin! It's okay, just bandage the small wound." !" Just after saying this, he staggered and almost lost his balance.
"The artillery fired all the shells, and then the snipers cleared out the archers on the watchtower." Qian Xing felt his eyes go dark, and gritted his teeth, "No matter men, women, old or youngkill them all without leaving a trace." He called Ba Ri back, this place belongs to him command the dagger is poisonous." After saying that, he fell to the ground.
