Ke Dun didn't know what Qilihan's plot was for the moment, and didn't say anything.
"There are many warriors from the tribes of Xile, but I also have many warriors from the tribes of Tusun." Qilihan said: "Since Ketun doesn't want to bleed too much, why don't we each send two hundred warriors out to battle, here in Galiang
How about a showdown between rivers?"
As soon as this statement came out, many people were surprised.
In fact, it is common for individuals to have personal grudges on the grassland, and to fight alone to show off their superiority. It has even become a solution to many problems on the grassland. After all, there is no need to worry about things that are easy to solve with force.
When the two armies faced each other, sometimes they would send out warriors to duel, but after all, they were in the minority.
Now the two major ethnic groups in the grassland are facing each other. On both sides of the Galiang River, hundreds of thousands of people from the two tribes have gathered. They are both very powerful. A war is about to break out, and everyone is ready for a bloody fight.
Qilihan led his troops to attack and took the initiative. No one expected that he would actually offer to send warriors to fight in a duel.
Qilihan said it lightly, but according to the tradition of the grassland, if there is a grudge between the two sides, if one party proposes a duel and the other party refuses, it will be regarded as a cowardly act and will be despised by everyone. Anyone with a bloody spirit, even if they are defeated, will
Give it a try.
When everyone around Ketun heard Qilihan's provocative words, they were furious and said one after another: "Ketun, we are willing to fight."
But Dun was very calm and signaled everyone to calm down. Then he asked across the river: "Qilihan, according to the tradition of the grassland people, since you proposed to send people to fight, the Siler people will naturally not back down. It's just that both sides are on their own."
Sending out two hundred men, how will they fight in a duel? What will happen after the winner is determined?"
"It seems that Ketun is ready to accept it." Qilihan smiled and said: "That's good." The riding whip pointed to the Galiang River: "The Galiang River is only waist deep, but now it is freezing cold and the river water is freezing to the bone.
Since they are sending warriors, they naturally have nothing to fear. The battlefield is in the Galiang River. Each side sends two hundred swordsmen, and the two armies retreat three miles each. In this way, no one will secretly cast cold arrows." After a pause,
The tone became solemn: "Four hundred people fight to the end, whoever can kill all the other two hundred people, even if only one person on one side is left alive, will be the winner."
Qin Xiao took a breath of air when he heard this, thinking that Qilihan was indeed extremely ruthless.
As a result, those who go to battle have a 90% chance of dying in the cold Galiang River.
This kind of fighting was extremely cruel, even more brutal than the bloody fight between tens of thousands of troops from the two armies.
"Okay!" Ke Dun did not hesitate and said directly: "I accept your dueling method."
Qin Xiao secretly sighed in his heart, she had seen Ke Dun's charming and charming woman in all kinds of ways, and her charming smile made all men's souls flutter. But at this moment, he finally remembered that this beautiful woman with all kinds of charms was also the person who made all the men fall in love.
Her enemies are extremely afraid of a she-wolf who possesses the decisiveness and ruthlessness of a decision-maker.
"I am not hunting for blood, just to be able to use the ore from Iron Mountain to build armor." Qilihan said: "I prefer armor, one set per day. If I win, Ketun needs to provide me with it every year.
The iron ore used to create three hundred and sixty-five sets of full-armor battle suits." He raised his hand and stroked his thick beard and said, "I'm sure Ke Dun won't be stingy, right?"
Qin Xiao frowned. He had spent a few days in the Hubu Jia Zi Library and knew that a set of battle armor was of extraordinary value.
In fact, with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, only a small number of elites can be equipped with battle armor, and it is not full armor. Usually, only breastplates and shoulder armor are equipped on the battle clothes. Those who are truly equipped with full armor are at least at the level of General Wei.
general.
There is a serious shortage of iron ore in the grassland, and the elite soldiers can only be equipped with leather jackets and only a few equipped with iron armor.
Qin Xiao also knows that opponents of the same strength can easily defeat the opponent if one wears full armor. Therefore, on the battlefield, armored soldiers are often the most powerful unit. They have powerful protective equipment and have already taken advantage of the enemy.
Advantage.
The iron ore required for a set of exquisite full armor, plus some forged waste materials, is enough to make at least twenty Hegu knives. If more than 360 sets of armor are provided to Duer's army in a year, they will need
of iron ore would be enough to create six to seven thousand fine iron swords.
Cheli Khan can also be regarded as a lion with a big mouth.
Ke Dunwei pondered for a moment and then said: "I agree."
"It's really a pleasure." Qilihan said: "There is another condition, that is, Ke Dun must come back to Monan with me. I promise Ke Dun that I will give you a beautiful wedding and make you happy."
Become my Ketun. From now on, you and I will become in-law tribes and have good relations from generation to generation."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who heard the bone congratulations became furious.
But Dun knew in his heart that since the other party proposed this condition in public, if he refused, Qilihan would lose face and would probably change his mind.
She was extremely shrewd, and of course she could guess what Chelihan was thinking right now.
The other party must be conflicted about whether to cross the river or not, and is still hesitating. Although the conditions proposed are harsh, Chelihan is actually giving him an excuse to convince himself. He knows that the outcome will be unpredictable after the war begins, and if he loses, it will be very difficult.
It may lead to unimaginable consequences, but this time tens of thousands of troops were mobilized to fight. If they retreat, not only will they be unable to explain to their wolf-like soldiers, but they will also be unable to explain to Taiyang Khan Tiehan.
These two harsh conditions were actually put forward for the sake of his soldiers.
The more harsh the conditions, the more aggressive Cheli Khan is, so that his soldiers will accept such a duel.
The iron ore for three hundred and sixty-five sets of armors is nothing, but if you can really get Lulu Taktun to agree to marry Qilihan and go to Monan, even if you retreat, you will still gain a lot. After all, everyone will
I know that He Gu has been able to survive all these years only because they have the extremely skilled Luantang Kedun. As long as they take Luantang Kedun away, even if there is no civil strife in He Gu, He Guhan is so young that it is impossible.
After leading He Gu to become stronger, in fact, without Lu Ting Ke Dun, it is equivalent to greatly weakening He Gu's strength.
Even if we don't fight today, we can take away Lulu Ting Ke Dun, thereby weakening or even insulting He Gu. If we withdraw our troops again, we can still give an explanation to Taiyang Khan.
"Does Ketun think that the warriors of Sile are no match for my warriors of Tusun, so he dare not agree?" Seeing Ketun's delay in answering, Qilihan couldn't help but said loudly: "If Ketun thinks that the warriors of Sile will be defeated, then I won't
There is no choice but to cross the river."
Ke Dun certainly knew that once a war broke out, even if the Tusun people were repelled, the Hegu tribe would suffer heavy casualties.
Although the three tribes of Xile are on the banks of the Chenbing River, the Zhenyu tribe has hundreds of thousands of people. Even if these more than 10,000 people are defeated, it will only hurt their vitality and will not lead to a total defeat. Although Bu Liuda sent an elite undead army, after all,
There are only three thousand soldiers and horses. Even if the undead army suffers heavy casualties, it is not the end of the world for Bu Liuda. On the contrary, the elites of the He Bone Department come out in full force. Once the losses are heavy, it will be a fatal blow to the He Bone Department and they want to regain their strength.
It will be even more difficult, and it will even withdraw from the hegemony pattern in Modong.
Being able to force Cheli Khan to withdraw his troops at the minimum cost was certainly something He Gu wished for.
In fact, even if Qili Khan did not consider winning or losing, and directly withdrew his troops on the condition that Ke Dun marry to Monan, Ke Dun might not consider that sacrificing himself would allow He Gu to avoid a catastrophe, which was not unacceptable.
Now, each side sent two hundred warriors to duel, and the outcome was unpredictable. If the Siler people won, they would not have to accept Qili Khan's conditions. He no longer hesitated and said loudly: "Qili Khan, if the Siler warriors win,
What will happen to you?"
"I will naturally withdraw my troops." Qilihan said happily.
Ke Dun smiled and said: "Why don't you add another condition? I see that although your armor is excellent, it still has some flaws. Take it off and bring it back to me. I will ask the craftsmen to repair the flaws for you. You should know that He Gu's
The art of forging is unparalleled in the desert."
Qin Xiao felt funny, knowing that Ke Dun was doing this to save face. After all, if Qilihan took off his armor in public, it would be considered a humiliation to him.
Qilihan hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I promise you!"
"In this case, I also agree to the conditions proposed by Qilihan."
After receiving the promise, Cheli Khan no longer hesitated, turned his horse's head, and led his men to withdraw to their own formation. Soon, a flag was raised in the Tusun army, and the Chinese army began to retreat slowly, but Dun saw that the other party retreated as promised.
, and also ordered He Gujun in the middle to retreat three miles.
"Kedun, I'm willing to lead two hundred Bonebreakers out into battle." The Bonebreakers' captain, Mang Dele, took the initiative to ask for a fight.
If fighting alone, He Gu's strongest warrior is of course the Bone Crusher.
But Dun looked solemn and did not agree immediately, thinking deeply.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Xiao asked softly from the side when he saw this.
Ke Dun looked up at the other side of the river, thought for a moment, and then said: "I'm just worried that the Wolf Slayer is among Qili's army."
"Wolf Slayer?"
"Those are Tiehan's guards." Mangdler explained to Qin Xiao: "The wolf slayers are all warriors selected from Duer's army. These people will undergo rigorous training. Every wolf slayer will undergo rigorous training."
Before joining Tie Han's guard, he would go to Langshan and kill ten wild wolves there with his bare hands. Tiehan deliberately raised countless wild wolves in Langshan, and no one was allowed to hunt them. The only mission of these wild wolves was
, is used to test the Wolf Slayer. As long as you enter Langshan alone and bring out ten wolf heads from Langshan, you will officially become a Wolf Slayer and be incorporated into Tie Han's guard."
Qin Xiao frowned, thinking that someone who could kill ten wild wolves with his bare hands was certainly not an ordinary person.
"It is said that Tie Han has three hundred wolf slayers by his side, all of them are real warriors." Mang Dele looked solemnly and glanced at the opposite side, saying, "But he is worried that Tie Han will mobilize the wolf slayers to protect Qili.
, if there really are wolf slayers around Qili, he will definitely send wolf slayers to fight."
Qin Xiao looked at Ke Dun and saw a rare solemn look on her beautiful face. He knew that Ke Dun was very concerned about this decisive battle. After all, if he lost, he would really follow Qili to Monan.
And if the opponent really sends out wolf slayers, the Bonecrushers may really be no match for them.
"Even if there are wolf slayers in the army, there won't be too many of them." Ke Dun pondered for a moment, then said: "The wolf slayers all have wolf head tattoos on their foreheads. If there are only ten or eight, they can still fight, but
If they send out dozens of Wolf Slayers, my Bonecrushers...!"
While he was talking, Qin Xiao had already seen a group of people walking out of the opponent's formation. Visually, there were about two hundred people. They should be the decisive warriors sent by the opponent. What surprised Qin Xiao was that although those people were wearing trousers, they were
They were all shirtless, and it was really surprising to go out shirtless in such a cold winter.
"Kedun, although my subordinates have no intention of winning, they will fight to the death and will never take a step back." Mandler asked for a fight again: "Two hundred Bone Crusher brothers will also fight until their last breath."
Ke Dun finally said: "There is no choice. Mang Dele, you choose two hundred people to fight with you. No matter you win or lose, you will be remembered by the Hegu people for generations to come!"
"Ke Dun, let me join in the fun." Qin Xiao suddenly said: "Just think of it as me fighting for Ke Dun!"
