He Loutai is the first brave general of He Gu. He is tall and dark-skinned. He has a hideous scar on the left side of his face, which was caused by an arrow wound. It is also a legend.
It is said that during a battle, He Loutai was shot in the face by a cold arrow. The arrow was so sharp that an ordinary person would have been shot through the face. However, at the critical moment, He Loutai raised his hand to grab it.
The arrow still hit his face, but he narrowly escaped death.
Everyone said it was God's blessing, and more people thought it was He Lotai's quick reaction.
But no matter what, He Loutai became famous for his bravery.
He had just turned fifty and was standing by the Galang River, holding the handle of his sword with one hand and holding his beard like a steel needle with the other hand, looking across.
The opposite side is empty and flat.
The Galiang River is several feet long, but it is not deep. The deepest part only reaches the waist. However, the mud below is also a natural barrier to prevent the charging of war horses.
In the cold winter, the Galiang River was already frozen with ice, but after He Loutai arrived, he immediately ordered the ice to be broken open. Tens of thousands of cavalry became temporary engineers, and the ice covered dozens of miles from north to south.
Fortunately, after the heavy snowstorm a few days ago, the weather has changed a lot in the past two days, and it is not easy to form a thick layer of ice in a short period of time.
Although the river surface began to condense into ice again, the ice was still thin and could not bear the weight of the war horses.
So far, Hegu has gathered 20,000 people on the banks of the Galiang River, but they are far inferior to Qili's army in terms of strength.
He Gu's spies kept sending back news, and every piece of news that came back made He Loutai feel a little heavier.
He Loutai was already fully aware of Tie Han's conspiracy.
Tie Han was extremely cunning. When Zhen Yu Khan died, he immediately guessed that He Gubu would send the main force to seize Luozhi Mountain. This was naturally a golden opportunity for Tie Han.
Qili Khan was ordered to take charge of the task of annexing Hegu. After careful deployment, he deliberately released the news that he was going to attack Shihun. He mobilized troops from various ministries and led 3,000 elite wolf cavalry from Durhu's headquarters led by Chatun as the vanguard. It was clear that he was going to attack Shihun.
The recruitment of soldiers and horses was actually a secret move northward. As soon as He Gu's main force was transferred to Luozhi Mountain, he immediately raided He Gu Khan's tent, captured the Iron Palace, and captured Luotian Kedun and He Gu Khan.
Qili led an army of 30,000 to provide timely support and took Tieshan into his hands in one fell swoop.
However, Chatun's raid plan ended in failure, and Commander Chatun died in the battle.
After such a result, both Tie Han and Qili were shocked and naturally became furious. Qili's 30,000 troops were directed at He Gu. Naturally, all the tribes they passed along the way were eating pots of pulp to meet the king's division.
Not only did they donate large amounts of cattle, sheep and fodder for military use, but they also mobilized young men and women to help out.
We just got the news that Qili's attack on Hegu was a success in the eyes of the Tusun tribes. In order to get a share of the pie, many tribes that had not been mobilized actually took the initiative to send troops and horses to help. Qili's subordinates even
The number of horsemen and servants exceeded 50,000, and soldiers and horses from the Tusun tribe continued to join the army.
He Lotai knew that when Qili arrived, the number of soldiers and horses under his command would be a terrifying number.
Qili's original 30,000-strong army were all soldiers and horses drawn from various tribes in Monan. The combat quality of these people was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary herdsmen, and the soldiers and horses from various tribes who assisted in the battle were of course also
They all sent out their own elite troops, so the cavalry under Qili were all capable soldiers.
On He Gu's side, apart from the 15,000 elite soldiers originally used to attack Luozhi Mountain, there were only the remnants that came from the Iron Palace. Due to the wolf cavalry's raid, the Iron Palace defenders suffered heavy losses, and even a thousand elite soldiers were shattered.
More than half of the Bone Man were killed in the battle, and the remnants of the army that came were only about a thousand people. However, nearly a thousand people were killed and wounded in the attack on Luozhi Mountain, so there were still only about 15,000 regular soldiers who could actually go into battle.
The young men who came from each tent were all herdsmen. Although they were also good at riding and shooting, they were all ordinary people who had never experienced any actual fighting. Although they could not be said to be a make-up, their combat effectiveness was very limited.
He Lotai knew that this was an extremely difficult war, and he was at an absolute disadvantage no matter what aspect or reason.
He was in a heavy heart when he suddenly heard cheers coming from a distance. He couldn't help but be startled. Soon he faintly heard someone shouting "Kedun" and "Great Khan". He immediately understood what he meant, got on his horse and headed towards the direction of the sound.
.
Before dark, Ke Dun finally arrived at the bank of Galiang River without stopping.
Ke Dun was wearing a large cloak and a powerful mask, and his white horse mount was also very conspicuous. When everyone recognized that Ke Dun and He Guhan were actually on the front line, they were all very excited. Everyone raised their arms and shouted "Ke Dun"
"Dun", "Great Khan".
He Lotai saw Ke Dun and He Guhan waving to the soldiers from a distance. The originally low-morale army was filled with excitement and excitement.
Chest: "Congratulations to Loutai for paying homage to the Great Khan!"
"He Loutai, thank you for your hard work!" Ke Dun raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk."
He Lotai stood up and immediately asked: "Khan, Ketun, this is the front line, it is extremely dangerous, you...?"
"The Great Khan insisted on going to the front line in person to share life and death with the warriors of He Gu." Ke Dun said loudly: "Tie Han was ambitious and attacked the Khan's tent, but was defeated. Now he has sent a large army to trample our homeland. Tie Han
The mountain is the land left by our ancestors. We Hegu people live endlessly on this land. In the face of powerful enemies, we will never retreat. Even if we die on the battlefield, the blood of me and the Khan will be with you.
Flow together.”
As soon as this statement came out, there was even more cheers from all around.
"I know that Tusun's army has a large number of soldiers. They are ferocious and violent. They are the most ferocious wolves on the grassland." Ke Dun raised his hands to signal everyone to calm down, and then continued in a loud voice: "You are nervous and even afraid. I am afraid of you."
I know. But Hegu warriors, behind you are your parents, wives and children. Once the Tusun people break through, our parents, wives and children will die in pain from the sabers and arrows. So let me and the Great Khan
Seeing your bravery, many years later, when future generations mention our battle to protect our homeland, they will be proud of us. Because after all, we no longer fear or flinch, but defend with our own blood.
This land." Suddenly he pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it high: "If the Tusun people want to break through our defense line, they must step over the bodies of me and the Khan, otherwise they will not be able to move forward."
Qin Xiao could hear clearly from behind Ke Dun, and after seeing Ke Dun's words of encouragement, all the He Gu soldiers seemed to be drunk, shouting crazily, and sighed in their hearts, Ke Dun's motivational ability was confirmed.
Yes, and her prestige in the hearts of the bone-healing people is indeed unmatched by anyone.
Suddenly, the sound of a horn was heard in the distance. With the sound of the horn, all the soldiers were on guard, but soon they heard that the sound of the horn was coming from the northeast, and the Chili army was approaching.
To the west, naturally it was not to remind Tusun of the arrival of the army.
"Report, there is a group of cavalry coming this way." A scout flew over and reported: "Great Khan, Ketun, they are flying the flag of the Podoluo tribe."
Ke Dun frowned, and He Loutai also said in surprise: "Why did the Podoluo tribe come? How many people are there in them?"
"At least five or six hundred riders," the scout replied.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask Ke Dun: "Does the Podoluo tribe belong to He Gu?"
"No." Ke Dun shook his head and said: "Their camp is in the northeast of Tieshan, adjacent to Hegu, and attached to Buliuda, but it does not belong to the Buliuda tribe. Their strength is average among the Xile tribes, and they have no contact with us.
not much."
Soon, I heard someone shouting: "Bao, Ke Dun, Po Duo Luo Padu Po Duo Luo suddenly asked to see you!"
"Let him come over." Ke Dun said simply.
After a while, I saw several horses galloping towards Ke Dun. They were still about ten paces away from Ke Dun. They were all reining in their horses. The leader was wearing a leather jacket. He was strong and strong. He was over thirty years old. He came quickly and stopped at Ke Dun.
He bowed in front of the horse and saluted: "Potara suddenly pays homage to Ketun!"
Riding a white horse and wearing a large cloak, Ke Dun was naturally very conspicuous in the crowd, and her colorful crown already indicated her identity.
"Padoluohu, I heard that you brought hundreds of horses, what's the matter?" Ke Dun asked.
Podoluohu said respectfully: "Kedun, we heard that the wolf cavalry raided the Khan tent and returned with a great defeat, and we were all happy. But the Tusun people will not give up. Abba is sure that Tiehan will send troops to attack.
We know that the Hegu tents are gathering, and it must be to prevent the Tusun people from invading Modong. After discussing with the clan leaders and elders, Abba ordered me to lead 544 warriors from the clan to join the battle. Abba has an order, and we
I will obey Ke Dun's instructions and swear to death in front of the Tusun people's iron hoof."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone around him applauded.
Qin Xiao also knew that there were thirty or forty Xile tribes in Modong, large and small, but only the leader of the three Xile tribes was called Khan. The other tribes were dependent on the three tribes, and the leader could only become the clan leader.
, I dare not call him Khan, but the sons of the tribal chiefs can also be called Tatu.
Potara is obviously not a big tribe. Potara suddenly calls his father Abba instead of Father Khan, but it is natural.
There was a look of relief in Luantan Keton's eyes, but he still asked: "The Podoluo tribe has always been protected by Bu Liuda. Does Bu Liuda know about your dispatch of troops this time?"
"Abba didn't have time to inform Bu Liuda first." Podoluohu said: "We came to assemble first. Abba sent people to deliver a message to Bu Liuda. In addition, Abba also sent people to inform other departments and asked them to mobilize them.
Soldiers and horses came to join the battle. Abba said that the Hegu tribe has been guarding the east, west and north of the desert. Because of you, the Tusun people have been unable to advance. Now that the Tusun cavalry are coming to kill, their target is not just Hegu, but the entire desert.
East, this is a war between the Siler people and the Tusun people. Once defeated, the Tusun people will face a catastrophe, so every Siler person should go into battle to kill the enemy. Before leaving, my father told me that as the Siler people
Warrior, dying on the battlefield is the highest honor. If I die on the battlefield, he will personally come and pick up my sword and continue to fight the Tusun people to the end."
Everyone was in awe after hearing this, and Qin Xiao also had respect in his heart. He thought to himself that if the heads of the Xile tribes could be as righteous as the Podoluo chief, then Tie Han's ambition to conquer Modong could only be achieved by Zhu.
The basket was empty.
