- Happiness comes and goes quickly.
After giving me a passionate kiss without any warning, Qinxing ran away with a blushing face before I could take any further action, leaving me in the same spot full of itching but unable to find her. To a place of release.
Fortunately, this state did not last long, and another strange thing attracted my attention.
After a painless battle, the usual task was to clean the battlefield and count the loot. The prairie cavalry, who always acted swiftly, completed this arduous task in less than a quarter of an hour and reported the number of casualties.
As a distinguished guest, I was also fortunate to attend the report in King Nacuo's tent.
According to the soldiers' reports, of the enemy's 8,000 horse archers, about 50 died in this encounter, and about 500 were seriously injured and lightly wounded, and were captured after falling off their horses. Most of the remaining injured were with the breakout troops. Escaped together.
And the number of casualties among the Nacuo troops was even more bizarre. Only a dozen people died, and the total number of wounded only amounted to a mere two hundred!
Although I don¡¯t know if there is any water in their data, when I heard this report, my first reaction was that something was wrong!
Something is quite wrong!
¡° Tens of thousands of troops and eight thousand troops encountered each other, and after a gorgeous bow and arrow battle, there were only so few casualties, which is really incredible.
? Could it be that neither side intends to actually fight? Still don¡¯t feel like it¡¯s time to fight? Or maybe King Nacuo still wants to give the other party room to choose his side?
But there was obviously damage, and many people died
Resisting the urge to go to King Nacuo to ask what was going on, I had no choice but to find Qinxing and shamelessly asked what the mystery was, but she only gave me a weird smile with no explanation, and then hid.
This oppressive feeling lasted until several days later, when the army arrived at the Wangting tribe in the center of Tushur and was finally released. King Nacuo, that cunning bear man, actually performed a magnificent performance under my nose. Li's "bitter meat scheme"!
Unlike the previous open grassland, the Beimu Royal Court built at the foot of Kaga Mountain is no longer just a tent-based building.
Occupying a large ridge extending to the heights of the sacred mountain, Beimu Royal Court is the "royal city" of a country, and a large part of it is built with local stones.
Along the edge of the ridge around the royal court, there are high stone walls. Not only do they have rows of crenellations, but also tall arrow towers stand every few dozen. The interior of the royal court, which covers an area of ??no less than 10,000 acres, is It is divided into four parts by two wide cross-shaped streets. At both ends of the street are four huge gates in the east, west, north and south, and there are dense arrow towers on both sides of the gate.
This simple design that occupies the terrain is not only convenient for the cavalry of the brigade to move in and out at high speed to attack the enemy, but also suitable for archers to defend from danger. It is definitely a typical example of easy to defend but difficult to attack.
After meeting up with King Dongmu¡¯s counter-rebellion team outside the royal court, I only had time to get acquainted with King Dongmu, so I took Tie Muyun and others to the ridge on one side to study.
According to intelligence estimates gathered from various sources, in addition to his trusted troops, Prince Falcon, who occupies the Royal Court, has a total of more than 30,000 horse archers willing to follow him. They are all sticking to the Royal Court at this moment, relying on the stone walls surrounding the Royal Court. and steep slopes, using bows and arrows from a high position to resist the enemy.
He doesn¡¯t have many troops at the moment, which I had expected.
Because in addition to a large number of cavalry troops who had doubts after learning the truth, several powerful shepherd kings in the Tushur area have maintained a neutral stance after the incident in the royal court, claiming that they had not seen They will not be loyal to anyone before the Golden Staff of the Flying Eagle.
This group of people controls about 60% of the army and horses in the Tushur area, and they are all smart people - they neither participated in Prince Falcon's rebellion nor blindly stood in line until the armies of King Nacuo and King Dongmu arrived, Princess Qinxing After showing the flying eagle golden staff in their hands, they swore to express their loyalty to the Divine Shepherd King and the Shepherd God, and then joined the counter-rebellion team "without hesitation".
A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. He will stand on whichever side is more secure!
So I don¡¯t have any concerns about the strength of the troops. My only concern is that Prince Falcon, who has a geographical advantage, plans to defend the city in the royal court. What should he do?
Daduan's attack on Xiao is imminent. It is impossible for the father of the country to postpone my marriage to Biyue indefinitely, nor can he hold off on supporting Daduan with money and food, lest Daduan becomes suspicious and abandons Xiao's attack on Nanle ¡
So a quick resolution is a must!
But in peaceAfter Mu Yun observed the terrain around Beimu Royal Court together, my heart went cold - except for the "stone palace" built on a ridge at the foot of the mountain with its back to the Kaga Sacred Mountain in the west, the other three sides were It is a high and steep slope, which not only is not conducive to cavalry attacks, but also is extremely disadvantageous even with bows and arrows!
The enemy troops occupying high places stand on the surrounding walls. Not only can they shoot arrows farther from the heights, but the attacking troops charge from low places to high places and cannot increase their speed at all. As long as the defenders on the stone wall throw down a few arrows, A rolling piece of wood and stone can smash a large area at once!
If we had to fight head-on, it is estimated that all of our 100,000 troops would be filled in the valleys around the Royal Court, and it would be difficult for us to have a chance to rush into the Royal Court and start a fierce battle with the defenders inside.
No wonder Prince Falcon has only 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, yet he dares to challenge the 100,000 troops of King Nacuo and King Dongmu without hesitation. It turns out that he has long planned to adopt a protracted war strategy - of course, I firmly believe this Strategy is inseparable from the people of Guishamen! Because they are from Daduan, their goal is to make the civil strife in Beimu continue as long as possible, so inciting Prince Falcon to fight a protracted war with the two Great Shepherd Kings is definitely their first choice.
"Looks like we have to rely on outsmarting you!" I sighed secretly at the royal court surrounded by stone walls on the opposite ridge. I cursed at the same time which perverted guy ordered the cavalry from the grassland to build a 'castle' here. One side made a choice reluctantly.
No matter how strong the castle is, it can be broken from the inside
After comforting myself with an old saying, I quickly ran back to the camp.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
All kinds of plans, both trivial and not trivial, have popped into my mind.
But it is a pity that before all my ideas have formed a complete implementation plan, a sudden victory has come to me.
All of this is thanks to the archer team that fought with us outside Tushur
The first day of the army¡¯s siege was as usual filled with various negotiations and scoldings.
Prince Falcon's envoy insisted that it was the widow and children of King Shenmu who rebelled, and that both King Nacuo and King Dongmu were bewitched by Princess Qinxing; while the two great shepherd kings firmly expressed their disbelief in each other's words. ¡ª¡ªOn the first day when these two old guys met, they made an appointment to have a "Totem Trial" on the Holy Mountain after defeating the Falcon Prince to decide who would be the next Divine Shepherd King, and who would "believe it easily" Falcon Prince's explanation.
So after the negotiation broke down, there was extremely intense preparation for the siege.
The so-called siege preparations are actually about hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around the Royal Court, pretending to launch an attack at any time, and then sending a few sharpshooters with superior arm strength to point their strong bows at the Royal Court. He randomly shot a few feather arrows and rockets to cause trouble.
Then after night fell, King Nacuo and King Shenmu sent out dozens of small teams of twenty people, with thick cowhide shields on their heads, and took turns reaching under the city wall to randomly set off a few fires and shoot a few feathers. Arrows Before the defenders on the wall could throw down the rolling logs and rocks, they had already fled back screaming.
It continued day and night for two days and two nights, and it wasn¡¯t until the third day that things calmed down a little.
But just on this night when the defenders thought they could breathe a little easier, an "incident" that directly determined the outcome of the war finally happened inside the royal court again!
The more than 7,000 horse archers who had returned to the royal court after the battle with King Nacuo to help Prince Falcon hold on, unexpectedly began to defect before dawn without any warning. Not only did they open three city gates at the same time, but they also suddenly attacked the disheveled soldiers. The troops of Prince Falcon's trusted troops who are taking a rest
The palace suddenly became chaotic, with bows and arrows flying in random directions and shouts of killing shook the sky. Everyone in the palace, which was already unstable, was in danger. The soldiers could not tell who was the enemy and who was the enemy around them. friendly forces.
Most of the soldiers who woke up from their sleep picked up scimitars and short bows in fear, but they didn¡¯t know who to chop and shoot!
The men and horses running around and killing each other in the royal court seemed to be all wearing the same clothes and shouting the same slogans
???????????????? And before these soldiers with no masters could wake up, King Nacuo and King Dongmu, who had been waiting for the signal outside, had already taken advantage of the situation and rushed into the royal court with more cavalry.
Surrender, surrender, we surrender
I don¡¯t know who was the first to shout surrender. Anyway, countless people shouted in agreement in a moment. Most of the remaining soldiers who didn¡¯t understand what was going on had no choice but to follow the flow and drop their weapons. Weapon squatted down in the corner.
The only thing left was a part of Prince Falcon's trusted troops who were still resisting, but they soon fell behind an army several times their own.?Step down and "quiet".
A siege that was originally thought to last a year and a half ended in such an anticlimactic end.
¡¡
"It seems that we have underestimated King Nacuo! I finally know why that encounter was so weird" After riding a horse and following the army into the palace gate with Qinxing and others, I couldn't help but sigh. .
I originally thought that the encounter was because the opponent had no intention of fighting, and King Nacuo did not want to expend his strength. Unexpectedly, he had quietly "incited" the opponent's general to rebel, and thus played such a game. A bitter trick!
What he was sure of was Prince Falcon's gambling mentality of being eager to increase his own chips in critical moments!
Because of both emotion and reason, Prince Falcon had no choice but to let more than 7,000 cavalry troops who had "fighted" for him enter the royal court to help defend him together and share weal and woe!
"It's a pity that it was this small laxity that directly led to the complete collapse of Prince Falcon's persistence plan.
But at this moment, it¡¯s too late to regret everything.
Facing King Nacuo, who almost captured the royal court in a "bloodless" way, I have to admit - Jiang is still hotter than ever!
King Nacuo, the enlarged version of Meng Zhangfei, the bear-man generation, finally showed his true side as the Great Shepherd King, and also taught me, the Prince of Nanle, who has always boasted of his wit, a good lesson.
"Now you know why I went on the field to fight that day?" Qinxing, who was riding beside me, saw me sighing and asked me with a smile.
After the dust settled, the princess girl's mood surprisingly calmed down.
"I also know why you kissed me that day!" I shook my head and looked at her with a wry smile.
No need to ask, in fact, it was not my concern that moved her that day that made her forget to kiss me; it was that she thought I was "cute", so she kissed me so happily.
For a moment, I felt that I was the girl, and Qinxing was the man!
As for the question of who is dating whom between the two of us, it seems a bit complicated now
