The sound of hooves is like thunder, echoing in the valley.
A Ming scout rode his horse and galloped over, neighing: "There is an ambush and there is an ambush" He didn't need to shout anymore, everyone saw that behind him, a team of iron horsemen and locusts were swarming, and the scout saw his team, and let out a breath, and suddenly his body went limp, and he fell on the back of his horse, and on his back, he had already shot more than ten sharp arrows.
The Ming army in front of the circle made way of a road and let the horse in, but before the scout could dismount, several soldiers had already rushed up to catch him.
"It's over" A lieutenant only saw the wound on his back clearly, and said miserably.
Sitting upright on his horse, Feng Cracker Yan had already taken off his hard bow and put on a wolf tooth arrow that could penetrate three layers of heavy armor, and his big eyes were cold: "Guogong, this is a swarm of horse thieves in the Western Regions."
The sound fell, the strings rang, and a wolf's tooth arrow had shot away, and the arrow that rushed to the front of a horse thief was carried down by the force of the arrow, and the second arrow of the Wind Cracker had already been shot, and this arrow was shot at his horse, and the arrow hit the horse, and the third arrow of the Wind Cracker flew out again.
Lianzhu arrows, the most brilliant archery skills of Jebe-level archers on the grassland, the wind crack flame can shoot four arrows in a row, and the four arrows shoot down the double horses, and the cavalry that came like a tide behind was blocked by these two people and two corpses, tripping many people in a row, stirring up a piece of snow, and the people behind had time to turn the horses to avoid it, and came around from both sides.
Xia Xun sat beside him, looked at the horse thieves rolling in, and exclaimed: "Horse thieves, there is such a mighty swarm of bees in the Western Regions, which is very famous."
At this time, the horse thieves had already faced the advance of the Ming army, and the horse thieves on the mountains on both sides were also rushing down the mountain.
Feng Cracked Yan said: "The leader of this swarm of bees is called Basa, the Ba family was originally a wealthy family in the Western Regions, one of the best families in the sandbank, and later because he offended the magnates, he has always been domineering when he ran his own business, which angered several other families in the sandbank.
The Ba family was furious, and simply led people to be horse thieves, and after more than ten years, the Ba family annexed several powerful horse thieves in the Western Regions, as if it was a force that could not be ignored by anyone. ” Feng Cracker said, glancing at the two sides of the battle in front, listening to the sonorous sound of weapons clashing, his hand was only raised, and he did not see the movement of buckling the string and the bow, and an arrow had been shot ghostly, and a horse thief who was fighting with the Ming army was shot with an arrow in his heart, and shouted that he dismounted.
Feng Cracker smiled and said: "Barcelona is a one-eyed dragon, the last general has dealt with him, and his one-eyed dragon is the last general's shot."
A few years ago, he went to Hami to perform official duties, and walked with the great Tusi Shenglong at the foot of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain.
This Bajia horse bandit, what he hated the most was the official and the rich gentry, who actually relied on a large number of people to rob the last general, but was shot in his left eye by an arrow by the last general, and also rescued a mother and daughter who were taken captive by him to prepare to be the wife of the village.
Huh" As he spoke, Feng Crack's hand did not stop, and he had already shot five arrows in a row, and the arrows killed people.
Xia Xun sighed that his archery skills were not excellent, for fear of injuring his own people by mistake, although his sword skills were good, he didn't dare to let him come forward to fight when he was killed, so he had to stand there and watch.
Knowing that the other party is a horse thief, it seems that he is robbing again.
His line, although there are heavy guards, but there is no shortage of vehicles in the middle, both the identity of the official, and the identity of the noble, the ears and eyes of the horse thief have found the news, naturally they are going to make a profit, but unfortunately, they are really unlucky this time, although the horse thieves have nearly 5,000 people, how can they be compared with the elite of the Beijing camp and the Ganliang Jingqi Only then did they notice that there was an ambush, Feng Fierce Yan and Sehazhi made a correct judgment, Feng Rift Yan laid down a wild goose feather array to meet the enemy according to the terrain of the valley mouth, and Saihazhi laid a circle formation in the second line of defense to protect himself, such a formation, coupled with such excellent soldiers and horses, even if it was tens of thousands of elite soldiers, could not be at the mercy of this small valley mouth, and he would not want to break through for a while, let alone this gang of horse thieves.
If they noticed something different at that time, they immediately retreated, it would be bad, as soon as the three armies retreated, the formation was chaotic, even if it was an elite army, if it was only a mass of scattered sand, it could not resist this group of wolf-like horse thieves from charging, once they broke into the camp and started a melee, the advantage of the army was gone.
"Guogong, the last general will go to the front, since they dare to come, if they don't kill him, they will inevitably weaken my Xiliang and weaken my Ming prestige."
Xia Xun bowed slightly: "General be careful" Wind Crack shook the reins of his horse, and then drew his sword and rushed forward.
The Ba family used to be a big man on the sandbank, and the family that wants to gain a foothold in a place like the sandbar must have private soldiers, especially listening to the introduction of the wind crack, the Ba family has even offended the powerful and rich gentry of the sandbank, and the strength of the Ba family's force can be imagined.
It must be known that most of the powerful and wealthy families collude with each other and have a close relationship, and this Ba family can actually get other families who are also wealthy families to regard them as thorns in their eyes, and their character and surname can be imagined.
And arrogance is the need for capital, at that time, the Ba family, must already have a very strong arm, after the anti-sandbar, the Ba family scattered all the wealth, recruited troops, and did no business, force is their only reliance, in this regard is naturally more spared.
Most of the horse thieves in front of them have soft armor, knives and spears, longbows on their backs, and small shields on their saddles, and they are equipped with more complete equipment than ordinary formal cavalry, no wonder they dare to rob even the army.
After watching for a while, Xia Xun raised his voice and called: "Saihazhi" was paying close attention, and Saihazhi, who was on strict guard, immediately rushed to him with his horse, and Xia Xun ordered: "Move the formation, retreat" Saihazhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Guogong, we haven't shown our defeat, Guogong can rest assured, there are lowly positions, they can't help us" Xia Xun pointed to the valley and said: "The terrain in front of you is not conducive to the horse thieves to develop their superiority in strength, but once the situation is not good, it is easy for them to escape, let them out, and annihilate them all."
When it came to the end, Xia Xun was already murderous.
Coming to the Western Regions, he wants to try his best to win the hearts of the tribes in the Western Regions to the Ming Dynasty, even if they temporarily succumb to Timur's silver power, it doesn't matter, as long as they don't think that Timur can really invade the Ming Dynasty and gain a firm foothold, then they will not work hard for Timur, these local snakes are perfunctory or attentive, and the effect can be very different.
To win over these people, of course, it is necessary to pay equal attention to grace and power.
And this favor is easy to do, this power is not easy to use casually, at this sensitive moment, improper use, but counterproductive, now there is a better deterrent than to annihilate a powerful horse thief that makes the entire Western Regions look sideways, they are actually equivalent to an army, and the power is greater than that of many tribes in the Western Regions.
Moreover, here, the orthodox forces and the good people do not have a unified belief and a unified sense of national belonging, let alone a group of horse thieves and robbers who have milk is their mother, once Timur's soldiers come to the city, it is precisely these horse thieves and bandits who are most likely to become his most powerful minions, they will not only use Timur's strength to harm the people of the Western Regions, so that the lives there, but also will take refuge in Timur, using the geography of the Western Regions that they are more familiar with than anyone else, to cause greater harm to the Ming army.
Now that there is an opportunity, of course, it is possible to annihilate it When Sehazhi began to move the rear formation, Wind Cracker Yan also received Xia Xun's instructions, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat steadily with the golden drum trumpet, in case it was self-defeating and was really disrupted by the horse thieves.
The biggest difference between a horse thief and an army is discipline and orders.
No matter how strong their individual combat strength is, they are a rabble in front of a well-trained army, and in the chaotic moments of battle between the two sides, the army can make an orderly strategic retreat according to orders, and the horse thieves are disorganized even if they attack.
None of the horse thieves saw something strange, because as soon as they fought, they found that this Ming army was much stronger than the enemies they had encountered before, and they were outnumbered, and even outnumbered.
At this time, the other party chose to retreat, and those who were a little scheming knew that there was a deception, but the red-eyed horse thieves did not have an effective command system, and their tradition was that the head of the house should charge ahead, without soldiers.
As a result, some of the veteran dignitaries could not even find their leaders in time, let alone convey some orders with banners or gongs and drums.
As soon as the Ming army began to retreat, the horse thieves who were in the fierce battle were in great spirits, and they screamed and pounced on them as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
The Ming army retreated to the land of three arrows, and the horse thieves fought and chased the three arrows, and began to try to go around the flank, forming a cutting blow to the Ming army, at this time, the Ming army, which had been retreating, suddenly launched a counterattack after hearing three short trumpets, and cut into the ranks of the horse thieves in a conical shape.
The problem is that the horse thieves have no fixed camp, and they have nothing to hold onto, their purpose is to attack, to plunder, some of the horse thieves have already attacked the two wings, trying to cut the Ming camp, this Ming army that broke through the middle quickly killed through the horse thieves' team, so that they are equivalent to killing the rear of the horse thieves.
Then, the terrible blow began to be full of corpses, five thousand brave and difficult horse thieves in the Western Regions kicked the iron plate, and were killed by the most elite team in the world, and the lucky horse thieves squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, their eyes did not dare to look at them, but they listened to the movement with their ears pricked up, and from time to time there was a scream, which made their hearts tight.
After a while, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and then a long neighing sounded, and they stopped not far from them: "Qi Guogong, the horse thief has fled less than 100 horses, and the head of the thief has been killed in battle, this person's name is Batu, the brother of the leader of a swarm of bee thieves, Basa, the head is here, please check it by the Guogong" A faint, clear voice followed: "Clean up the battlefield, take the prisoners away."
Bring this head, even if it's a gift for Shazhou."
"Guogong" The Western Regions was originally the ruling area of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and there were not a few princes and princes who were sealed here, so these horse thieves knew what the prince meant, and they heard that they robbed a Ming prince this time, and they suddenly felt that they were not wronged at all.
None of them hate it now, they hate the bastard who was Pandaoer at the beginning, what did the Ming army escort a rich gentleman to the Western Regions, several carts on the team were full of gold and silver, and beautiful women, it was really blind to his mother's eyes, if Lao Tzu could leave alive, he would definitely skin him At this time, they suddenly heard a woman's voice excitedly say: "Godfather is so fierce, Godfather is so powerful."
