Chapter 518 Do you want me to remind you?
Three hundred human heads piled up out of the Jingguan.
、ybdu、 And that bloody warning.
However, this was not enough to scare off the iron hooves of the steppe people.
All the way to the east, since crossing the Northwest Corridor, the long drive without defense and resistance at all has grown up the arrogance in the hearts of the people of the steppe people, and at this moment, the destruction of the cavalry of the three hundred vanguards only ignited the monstrous anger in the heart of the golden wolf-headed general "It's a sneak attack" The Golden Wolf-headed General immediately gave his own judgment: "Those hateful Rolanders, those cowardly bastards of the Tulip family, they sneaked up on our warriors" It must also be admitted that in addition to the anger, the golden wolf-headed general actually had a faint sense of relief in his heart. yes Anyway, the enemy still appeared Although it was very refreshing to drive all the way, there was no gain from being empty-handed, and it still made all the grassland hearts heavy.
They left their homes and traveled thousands of miles away, but they didn't come to play some armed march.
They are here to conquer, they are here to rob, they are invaders But it has been more than ten days since he came to the territory of the Tulip family, and the scimitars of the samurai have not been stained with a drop of enemy blood Not to mention human blood, not even the blood of livestock Although everyone explained it with the reason that "the Tulip family is cowardly, and the Roland people are too cowardly".
But after all, not everyone is a fool.
There are always people who still feel that the performance of the tulip family is too big a gap with the legendary fame Yes, the Tulip family did not resist, they evacuated completely.
But we didn't get any results No wealth, no food, no livestock, no plundering of the population and slaves.
What land have we gotten under our feet, but the land can't be taken away One way or another.
The loss of these three hundred vanguard cavalry was infuriating, but at least the Tulip family finally appeared, and they finally began to resist.
Three hundred cavalry, if they die, they will die, and this time there are more than 100,000 steppe warriors who came to the east The golden wolf-headed general quickly calmed down, and then gave his own order: cross the river Crossing This is not easy for the steppe people.
Although this is only a canal that is not wide.
But because of the introduction of water from Loulan Lake, the canal is not wide, but it is deep enough.
The deepest point, more than three meters, was measured by the cavalry with wooden sticks tied to stones and thrown down.
For the steppe people, the worst thing they are at is probably building all kinds of fortifications, which is not the traditional warfare method of the steppe people.
The traditional way of warfare of the steppe people is that everyone gathers the men of their own tribe, mounts horses, and then meets on an open grassland.
Engage in a tidal charge, fighting Machete to machete, tooth to tooth besiege Defend the city Manufacture fortifications Crossing the river to make pontoons This is definitely the shortcoming of the grassland people.
Even if it's such a canal that is not wide.
However, after all, the golden wolf-headed general was sitting on tens of thousands of troops, and he soon found a way.
There were many abandoned water conservancy facilities and workshops along the riverbank, and he asked the samurai to tear them down, fetch wood, throw them into the canal, and in a very short time, a pontoon bridge could be built alive.
But just when the steppe people of the West Bank were busy.
On the east side of the canal, there was also some movement.
Several teams of Tulip cavalry came running from afar, which immediately made the steppe people excited.
Many steppe warriors began to wield scimitars across the canal to the opposite bank, letting out threatening roars.
There are also steppe warriors.
Pick up your riding bow and shoot at the opposite bank.
The Tulip family on the other side of the river did not have too many troops, only about a thousand people.
These are not traditional cavalry, to be exact.
They were archers on horseback.
The Tulip family's army was well-armed, and everyone wore light and strong leather armor.
They had bows hanging from their saddles and four quivers on their straps. on the road.
There were also dozens of wagons rolling in the dust.
These tulip armies simply ignored the provocations of the steppe people on the other side, and even ignored the sporadic bow and arrow attacks of the steppe people.
Far from the shore, they stood outside the range of the steppe people's cavalry, and the cavalry carried the bow, small and convenient, but the biggest weakness was the lack of range.
More than 300 meters away, the arrows began to become limp.
The soldiers of the Tulip family began to operate in an orderly manner.
They dismantled the dozens of wagons on the other side.
Both sides of the canal were busy, and the steppe people were noticeably scattered and efficient: they were busy wielding scimitars to cut wood from the water conservancy facilities and workshops, trying to throw it into the canal to make pontoon bridges.
But most of the people are impetuous, they have to be distracted and yelling at the ghosts on the other side, making aimless roars, and some people can't help but shoot at the other side.
It seems to be lively, but in the eyes of the tulip family army on the other side "Are those guys monkeys?"
A soldier of the Tulip family couldn't help but ask.
No one answered, and what answered him was a whip from the chief "Don't talk nonsense and do your job" The strict military discipline of the Tulip family made their work silent and swift.
Soon, dozens of wagons were dismantled, and little by little they were turned into a row of catapults.

The carriage carried rows of black jars.
When the last catapult was assembled, the steppe pontoon looked less than a third complete.
At this time, the Tulip family began to attack The Tulip family's army began to line up, and the soldiers in the first row erected a row of tall shields to form a shield wall, and then the soldiers hid behind the shield wall and slowly advanced towards the river bank This action caused a strong reaction from the steppe people, and more and more steppe warriors who were working put down their work, rushed to the shore, picked up their riding bows and shot at the opposite bank.
This move didn't have much effect.
Most of the arrows hit the shield wall, making only a clanging sound.
The shields of the tulip family form a phalanx that resembles a turtle's shell.
Advancing to the shore, after reaching the effective range of the maximum threat.
The tulip family began to fight back After a sharp whistle, the tulip family's shield phalanx suddenly lifted the shield above, revealing the archers hiding under the shield These archers occupied a dense and neat position, and had already made all the preparations, and when the shield was raised, a dense rain of arrows roared out The two sides fired at each other across the canal, but in the end it proved only one thing: the most basic common sense in the introductory course of the Roland Imperial Academy: archers can only achieve the most effective damage when they are in a dense volley.
The cavalry bow shooting of the steppe people was scattered and unorganized.
The Tulip House has completed a standard salvo coverage area, and the intensity of the shooting can almost be included in the general standard of textbooks After the first salvo.
The steppe people on the west bank let out one after another screams, I don't know how many steppe people were hit by arrows and turned over and fell to the ground, the screams of war horses, and the miserable howls of pain of the warriors The most terrifying thing is that the shooting coverage of the tulip house extends far beyond the shore.
The archers' projectiles made the effective range of the bow and arrows far exceed that of the steppe people.
Even the golden wolf-headed general standing at the back of the team was baptized by a rain of arrows Even if the guards around him raised their shields in time to resist, there were still many guards around the Golden Wolf Head General who fell from their horses with arrows And most of the steppe warriors are miserable, shields are a rarity, but they are rare on the grassland, and only a leader-level figure like the golden wolf-headed general will equip his own guards.
As for ordinary steppe warriors. can have a scimitar and a set of flat leather armor, which is already a first-class hero.
The Tulip family's attack was cold and cruel.
The bows and arrows of the steppe people also caused sporadic casualties.
But here in Tulip's house, even if someone is occasionally hit by an arrow, they will only let out a short scream, and they will soon be dragged down by their companions.
Quickly towed out of the dangerous area, there are special logistics medical officers to carry out emergency rescue.
The three phalanxes of the tulip family completed three consecutive waves of salvos very openly.
After these three volleys.
No steppe man would dare to stand on the shore and shoot at the Tulip family's army.
Countless corpses fell on the riverside, both human and horse.
Moreover, there is also a consequence that the ranks of the steppe people quickly loosened up in the face of the almost professional army-like literacy of the tulip family, the dense bow and arrow cover shooting, even if the steppe people are idiots, they understand that it is simply suicidal to maintain a dense line at this time.
The steppe people began to retreat, and in a swarm of swarms retreated backwards.
And at this time, the tumultuous slinger of the tulip family began to wield its might Dozens of catapults began to eject.
What was ejected was the black jars.
These black canisters are wrapped with oilcloths, and when they are projected, soldiers next to them methodically set the oilcloths on fire and then throw them out with catapults The jars, as if sparks had landed, smashed on the heads of the retreating steppe team.
The jar fell to the ground, shattered, and the fuel filled with it sprayed everywhere, turning into one flame after another in the midst of the sparks The catapult whistled for a full quarter of an hour, dropping almost all the canisters of fire oil brought by the Tulip Army.
As a result, the army brought by the Golden Wolf Head General has completely collapsed.
What made the golden wolf-headed general almost vomit blood was nothing more than a few rounds of salvos of bows and arrows, plus that round of attacks from catapults that split heads and covered faces.
When his team collapsed and retreated a few miles away, he reorganized, and found that the grassland boys he had brought with him had lost thousands of them.
And above the distant canal behind him, a fire dragon was burning The pontoon bridge, which his own people had worked so hard to build, was burned down The golden wolf-headed general immediately made a judgment: the idea of building a pontoon bridge to cross the river by himself was no longer possible.
In this way, the Tulip family announced their existence, built a pontoon bridge, braved the Tulip family's bow and arrow salvo and catapult covered fire, and did it again There will be no effect other than to die in vain.
"Damn" the Golden Wolf-headed General roared angrily, and then he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "I don't believe if I send two thousand people to go around from both sides, can this canal lead to the sky, bypass this river, and we tear those tulip guys to pieces" "Queue up and we're ready to leave here, archers check equipment, all get on horseback" The Tulip House began to evacuate.
The officer had already noticed the movement of the steppe cavalry on the opposite side of the two wings, and he had already noticed the movement of the steppe cavalry on the opposite side.
This move made the officers of the Tulip family sneer in their hearts.
It's just a joke to outflank This canal is more than ten miles long, and when they come around.
It will take at least two hours.
The tulip family's army began to withdraw.
They didn't intend to defend the canal in the first place.
Here to teach the steppe people a hard lesson, and the order given from above has already been achieved.
The archers retreated on horseback.
As for those catapults Once again, the sappers of the Tulip family taught the steppe people a lesson.
They didn't plan to take all the catapults with them, they were just wood fittings made of standard formwork, they just needed to take away some of the key assembly parts, metal gears and stuff, and as for the wooden shelves, throw them away The Tulip family has money and stock of this equipment A few piles of wood were exchanged for more than a thousand lives of the steppe people This business is worth it "I really hope that the golden wolf-headed general won't be too cowardly, and he won't be able to catch up with him soon.
Those guys waiting in the second line of defense are already running out of patience, hahahaha" The leading officer of the archers laughed and led the people to evacuate in the direction of Loulan City in an orderly manner.

The Golden Horde of the Prairie King was moving very slowly.
As the king of the grassland, even when he goes on an expedition, the Golden Horde is the core of all the grassland people's guards.
So.
When the Golden Horde arrived at the canal, it was already midnight.
In the middle of the night, the king of the steppe did not immediately order the crossing of the river.
At the very least, there is a basic common sense that crossing the river at night is a dangerous act.
In the golden tent of the royal court, the king of the steppe was angry.
The news from the Golden Wolf-headed General made him angrily smash his own dinner and whip the riding slave next to him.
After losing thousands of men and horses, the Golden Wolf Head finally bypassed the canal from both flanks, but when they reached the opposite bank, they did not even touch a single corner of the Tulip army.
The last news from the Golden Wolf Head General was.
He had already led his army east to pursue the Tulip family's army.
The King of the Steppe was not in a hurry to advance, he made a choice: it was already very close to Loulan City, and at night, most of it went into the core area of the enemy.
It's not a wise move, let's wait for news from the Golden Wolf Head General.
In any case, he had tens of thousands of cavalry, and pursued him.
Even if you can't win, there won't be too much of a difference, and when it's dawn, you can lead a large army all the way over.
But this steppe king had just drunk a bowl of goat's milk mixed with honey.
When the anger in my heart has calmed down a little A gust of wind blew into the tent.
He turned around angrily, and was about to rebuke something when he saw his elite escort warriors prostrate at the door of the tent.
And a figure walked in slowly.
Purple robes, bright eyes, and a smile that seems to have a faint mocking taste on the corners of his mouth.
It is difficult for the King of the Prairie to describe his mood in words: when he watched his loyal warriors prostrate in front of others, he watched this man walk into his royal court, but walked leisurely as if he were walking in his own backyard.
There was a faint annoyance in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack on his face.
Because he didn't dare "I've been wondering how stupid you are.
But only now do I understand that your stupidity has once again exceeded my estimates. ” The person who came looked at the Prairie King, and threw such a sentence lightly in a disdainful tone.
The Prairie King's forehead was bruised He was originally going to bow slightly, but at this moment, the anger in his heart prompted him to straighten his back, grit his teeth, and said hatefully: "Even if you are the White King, you can't insult me like this and insult a noble king of the grassland."
"King" The man in purple smiled, he put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked in front of the king of the grassland, when the distance between the two was less than two steps, he stopped, as if looking up and down the "king" in front of him.
Then he spoke the next sentence: "Maybe you have forgotten that it is still when you have the power of the army, which makes you start to breed arrogance, and it seems that I need to remind you: in front of others, you are the king.
But in front of me, you're just a dog, and always will be. ” After speaking, he suddenly flew up and kicked the Prairie King's heart and kicked the "king" to the ground The Prairie King fell to the ground and roared, and he jumped to his feet, and reached for the scimitar at his waist, but before his scimitar could go out of his body, a finger had already hit the center of his eyebrow.
Immediately, a feeling of powerlessness filled his body, and the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground with a sheath, and the whole person seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, and it hung in the air.
The king of the steppe looked at the door of his tent with grief and indignation, but those loyal subordinate guards were prostrate on the ground, trembling, and no one dared to raise their heads.
A pair of eyes were already staring at the Prairie King, and there was a hint of an almost cruel smile in his eyes.
"Do you need me to remind you again, my dear hound" to be continued. “”:
