Chapter 29: Tier 3 Special Archers, Tianxiong Army
Among the moving carriages, a young Tibetan man drove his horse and quickly came to a carriage. He lowered his voice and said:
"Sir Si Ben, this place is only two days away from Yun Kingdom Junior High School. I'm afraid we can't delay it any longer! So I discussed it and planned to take action tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Chi, the leader of the Tubo Sheep Tribe, immediately opened the window and faced the tribe's trusted nephew outside the carriage, frowned and said:
"Then are you ready for what I told you before?"
This young man from the same sheep tribe had something to say in his heart:
"That would be too troublesome... In fact, why should Sir Si Ben be so careful? We secretly gathered enough warriors, and with the help of the Xia people, there were only a hundred Yun soldiers. We attacked suddenly, how could there be an accident?
"
Hearing this, Nie Chi frowned, stared at the young man, and said in a stern tone with a hint of scolding:
"Don't you still learn from the lessons of the Lang clan? Or do you think that the young people from the tribe that you summoned at short notice are better than the thousand armored soldiers who have been trained carefully for many years by the leader of the Lang clan, Duoji, to run rampant in Tubo?
Even more powerful?"
The young man from the Yang tribe felt the anger hidden in Nie Chi's heart in front of him, and felt his chest stagnant. He quickly lowered his head in panic and said respectfully:
"Lord Siben, I know I was wrong!"
"According to your instructions, everything is ready. I will inform them right away. When they stop to set up camp in the evening, there will be people in the name of nearby tribes who will come to reward the envoys with food and wine under the pretense of being ordered by Zanpu.
Among them, please give me a secret medicine that will completely make the people of Yun country lose their ability to resist!"
After all, the old man is still the hot one. Because he was afraid of the fighting power of the soldiers of the Yun Kingdom, and to ensure that everything was safe, Nie Chi even thought of drugging him.
After hearing the prepared words, Nie Chi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, let's go!"
"yes!"
As the sun gradually turned westward, the mission stopped traveling and found a place to camp and set up camp.
When the bonfire was lit, except for some Tubo soldiers who were responsible for guarding the surrounding areas, the rest of the soldiers hurriedly took off their armor, put away their weapons, and scattered in all directions, talking and laughing among themselves, without any appearance of being in the army.
Nie Chi got off the carriage, looked up at the free and unorganized Tibetan soldiers, and then subconsciously looked at the center of the camp, where the Yun soldiers who were still waiting in full formation, with their armor and weapons intact, suddenly frowned and looked at the tribesmen around him.
, said in a deep and authentic tone:
"If Tubo wants to become truly strong, it must rectify its military forces and learn from Yun's advanced military system!"
A group of young members of the Sheep tribe were among the mission. They had contact with the Yun army in the past, and they only felt that their soldiers were sharp and their military laws were strict. The rest were not so deeply impressed.
But it was only then that they were awakened by Nie Chi's words, and they realized the slightest difference between the armies of the two countries, as if they were awakening from a dream.
Only then did all the young people from the same tribe understand why Nie Chi had been so cautious before!
Nie Chi looked at the hundreds of Yun Kingdom Imperial Guards in the center of the camp, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he said in a quiet tone:
"At this time, I have felt uneasy again in my heart. I don't know whether it is right or wrong to nod and agree with your decision... I just hope that everything will go as smoothly as planned before!"
All the young people who were fellow sheep pursed their lips and did not speak for a long time.
It's just that the matter has reached this point, how can it be possible to make these young people who have already got their heads retreat?
The center of the temporary camp is where the Yun Kingdom mission is located.
A soldier from the Imperial Guard quickly walked up to Wang Xuance, cupped his fists and saluted, and reported back:
"Sir, outside the camp, there is a local tribe from Tubo. On the orders of Tubo Zanpu, they sent us food and wine to comfort you!"
When Wang Xuance heard this, he frowned and asked:
"By order of Tubo Zanpu?"
"yes!"
"I see how many tribes in Tubo are dissatisfied with Zampu for abandoning Nie Qi. There are actually tribes who come to comfort the mission in the name of abandoning Nie Qi?" Wang Xuance said with a hint of doubt.
If it were a centralized country such as the Yun State or the Xia State, when a delegation arrived, the state and county officials along the way would definitely entertain them with all their strength. However, although Tubo had begun to strengthen the royal power, many tribes still managed the local area.
So along the way, this was the first time that their mission received hospitality and comfort from the Tubo tribe.
The guard at the sticky pole on the side pondered for a moment and then said:
"This place was originally the territory of the Lang clan. Later, Tubo Zampu attacked the Lang clan and found a wrong place to cut off the Lang clan's territory and gave it to a small local tribe called the 'Niang clan'. Perhaps this is because
So, so Niang is extremely loyal to Zan Pu and Nie Qi..."
When Wang Xuance heard this, he didn't take it too seriously. Thinking of how hard it was for everyone in the mission to have food and sleep in the open all the way, he thought about it for a moment, finally nodded and said:
"Okay, invite them in!"
"In addition, generals in the army should exercise restraint under their command, and meat can be enjoyed as much as they like. However, no one in the army can drink wine. Only three taels are given to each of the officials in the mission to relieve their fatigue."
The soldiers on the side felt a little happy when they heard this, and quickly clasped their fists and responded:
"yes!"
Wang Xuance felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know why and couldn't explain why. After hesitating for a while, he could only look at the guard next to him at the sticky pole and said:
"The journey to the plateau is hard, and the mission has been hard work, so I can't bear to refuse. But after thinking about it, I still feel that something is wrong. So tonight, I still have to ask the guards at the sticking pole to help me take a look!"
Hearing this, the guard at the sticking pole quickly clasped his fists and saluted, saying:
"Don't worry, sir, I understand!"
After saying that, he quickly turned around and left, arranging for someone to check it carefully.
It stands to reason that this stick-stick area is used for dirty work, and it should be extremely familiar with methods such as poisoning.
But they couldn't stand up to Tubo. Whether it was culture, martial arts or medicine, they were all very different from other countries in the Central Plains. In order to prevent detection this time, Nie Chi and the others used drugs without toxins, which were difficult to detect, and were even more difficult to detect.
.
Sticky Rod had never come into contact with this type of thing before, so it was inevitable that there would be some oversights. After using some common methods and finding nothing unusual, he directly reported back to Wang Xuance.
At this time, Wang Xuance finally felt relieved.
Many Tibetan farmers have told Wang Xuance before that the climate in Tubo has been warm in the past two years. In addition, it is already May and June, so the climate is not too cold.
The only problem is that the temperature difference between day and night is too big. For the envoys of the Yun Kingdom who are used to Zhongqing City being like spring all year round, it has become a bitterly cold place.
Starting from Luoche City and returning to Yun, the journey was extremely hard, and now a tribe suddenly sent them food and wine to express their condolences, which immediately made the atmosphere in the Yun Kingdom envoy warm.
Even the Imperial Guards of the Yun Kingdom, who had always maintained strict military discipline, relaxed slightly at this time and took out meat one after another. While eating, they looked greedily at the drinks held in the hands of the civil servants of the mission not far away.
At this moment, in the outer camp of the Tubo envoys, Nie Chi stood up straight and said in a deep voice:
"I have transferred the Tibetan soldiers who are on guard around us. The drugged wine and meat have also been sent in. The rest is up to you!"
Several young people from the same tribe around him had fanatical looks in their eyes, and they immediately responded in a deep voice:
"Please rest assured, Lord Siben, everything is absolutely safe..."
As if a flag was raised, before the man finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the camp:
"Dayun Forbidden Army, be on alert!"
"There are unknown cavalry spying on the camp. They seem to have evil intentions. The entire army is on alert!"
The voice full of inner strength spread very clearly to the ears of everyone in the camp in an instant.
More than a hundred Yun Kingdom's forbidden troops reacted almost at the same time. Without hesitation, they dropped the meat in their hands and quickly rallied to protect the entire Yun Kingdom mission.
Wang Xuance's heart wrinkled, and he stood up suddenly, put his hand on the sword on his waist, and looked outside the camp.
In the distance, several Yun Guo Nianzhan guards who were on guard in the dark opened their mouths and shouted warnings while galloping towards them.
At this time, behind the guards at the sticky pole, there was an unidentified cavalry hanging behind them and chasing after them.
There were only a hundred or so Yun Imperial Guardsmen who escorted the envoys to Tibet, which was really not a large number. Therefore, the peripheral security matters that needed the most manpower were left to the Tibetan soldiers.
But Wang Xuance, who was careful, still arranged for a few guards to guard the stick in secret. It was precisely because of this vigilance that someone could give a timely warning at this time!
Nie Chi looked at the guards at Sticky Post who were galloping in the distance, his slightly cloudy pupils shrank, and he glared fiercely at the young tribesmen behind him who had just promised that everything would be safe, and cursed in a low voice:
"idiot!"
Several young people from the same tribe lowered their heads with flushed faces.
They never dreamed that this cunning Yun countryman would secretly arrange an informant...
"Then, shall we take action?" One of them said hesitantly.
This sudden change, not to mention that the Yun Kingdom envoy did not eat much drugged wine and meat, even if they did, the drug would not take effect for a while. In this way, what they need to face at this time is that
The Yun Kingdom Forbidden Army has not lost much combat effectiveness and is extremely brave!
Nie Chi glanced at the clan members and nephews behind him, and couldn't help but sigh tiredly.
As I get older, I can’t take care of myself...
He took a deep look at the Yun Kingdom Forbidden Army, which had already begun to use the carriages carried by the envoys to build defensive positions. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Go directly and take advantage of this moment to drive away our Tibetan warriors from the periphery and let them attack the Yun Army's position!"
"yes!"
Under the dim sky, in the corner of the camp, three bonfires were lit at the same time, instantly illuminating the surrounding area.
In the distance, the cavalrymen who were chasing the guards at the sticking pole saw the three bonfires agreed upon as signals. They immediately reined in their horses and nervously stayed where they were and waited.
A moment later, the "rumbling" sound of horse hooves on the ground was like a muffled thunder, and the ground was trembling. The large group of people summoned by the sheep tribe finally galloped over.
The war horses neighed, and accompanied by a roar that made blood boil, more than a thousand cavalry roared and charged.
Wang Xuance looked at the three bonfires that suddenly lit up not far away from the camp. He immediately reacted in his heart. His eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said with hatred:
"There is a traitor among the Tubo envoys, beware of the Tubo soldiers!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the Yun Kingdom mission became even more tense.
In order to fully protect the mission, the Yun State mission was located in the center of the camp. The inner perimeter was guarded by the Yun Army's forbidden troops, while the outer perimeter was guarded by Tubo soldiers.
At this time, something happened in Tubo. This originally good camp arrangement suddenly put the Yun Kingdom mission into a dead end, making it difficult to evacuate quickly.
"Kill and take back our snow lion!"
"Come on, for the gods of the snow mountains!"
The soldiers from the same group of sheep who were charging towards the camp screamed in Tubo language, with a look of fanaticism in their eyes, and rushed towards the camp with all their strength.
The Tibetan soldiers guarding the outer perimeter were inherently lax in military discipline, and their morale was even worse than that of the Yangtong cavalry who were blessed by religious beliefs.
Facing the mighty and sudden attack of the Yangtong cavalry, most of the Tibetan soldiers had already fled behind in panic without the help of Nie Chi's close relatives.
The few Tibetan soldiers who wanted to organize their troops to resist, but faced the defeat of Paoze, their morale instantly collapsed, and they were forced to retreat.
Wang Xuance looked at the Tibetan soldiers who turned around and rushed toward the camp, with the veins on their foreheads exposed. He mustered up his inner strength and shouted without hesitation:
"Spread out on both sides. Anyone who dares to attack the camp will be shot to death!"
The sound was loud and spread across the battlefield in an instant.
At this time, the Yun Kingdom's imperial army relied on the mission's vehicles as a defense line. Their spears stood up like a forest, their cold light shone, and their murderous intent poured out without reservation.
Some Tubo soldiers who were running fast came to the Yun Kingdom camp and wanted to hide in. Instead, they were met by spear points with a cold light. In an instant, they could hear the sound of flesh and blood being pierced by sharp blades.
Rings.
The Yun soldiers who had just been eating meat together in a harmonious atmosphere now stabbed out their spears mercilessly, stabbing the Tibetan soldiers who wanted to get closer to the Yun camp, to the core.
Afterwards, there were Tibetan soldiers who couldn't stop their pace, and they slammed into the forest of guns of the Yun Kingdom Forbidden Army, and then collapsed.
Blood gurgled on the ground, and murderous intent came out wantonly, which shocked people's hearts. The entire Yun Kingdom camp was like an indestructible stone, standing straight in the center.
Even though the Tubo soldiers were intent on escaping, they were shocked by the Yun army's ruthless determination. While their hearts trembled, they subconsciously turned around and avoided the Yun State envoy's camp.
Nie Chi, who originally had the unique ruddy face of the plateau, saw that the Tibetan soldiers dispersed like water in a river and did not break through the Yun Kingdom camp as he expected. His blood suddenly surged and his face turned even red.
, unable to bear it anymore, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Surround us! This is the end of the matter. Everyone, please surround us!"
We have ten times more troops than Yun's army, and even more cavalry. We don't even need to attack by force. As long as the siege lasts until the medicine taken by Yun's army takes effect, it will be a victory!
With Nie Chi's order, a group of sheep cavalry did not choose to attack by force, but immediately dispersed. More than a thousand cavalry surrounded the entire camp in an instant, riding horses wantonly around the camp.
"shoot!"
The leading general gave an order, and all the knights with the sheep immediately took off their bows and arrows and fired towards the camp.
Wang Xuance was suddenly startled and shouted urgently:
"Put up a shield to protect the mission!"
After Wang Xuance's order, the well-drilled Imperial Guards of the Yun Kingdom immediately set up their iron shields and tried their best to protect the envoys.
When the arrow rain fell, a "dinging, clanking" sound was heard, hitting the iron shield, which seemed very powerless. Even some soldiers who had no time to hide under the shield were not affected by this rain of arrows. What harm.
Wang Xuance sensed something was wrong, pushed away the guards around him, and looked around.
They saw feathered arrows all over the ground falling on the ground. Except for a few unarmored ministers of the mission who were slightly injured, no one was injured.
He grabbed the feather arrow on the ground, took a closer look, and was immediately speechless.
Hey, I almost forgot, there are Tibetan soldiers on the opposite side!
They saw the feather arrow that Wang Xuance was holding in his hand. The arrowhead was white and roughly ground into a sharp arrow shape. It turned out that this was just a bone arrow made of animal bones.
Tubo is short of iron and iron smelting technology, and its national strength is even weaker, with few iron tools. This is evident from the fact that the thousand armored soldiers that the Lang family spent all their wealth to maintain were enough to run through the country of Tubo.
Bone arrows may still be effective among the Tubo tribes, but facing the armored Yun army, as long as they are not so unlucky, they will not be able to break through the defense...
At this time, all the Yun soldiers also reacted suddenly. Looking at the bone arrows all over the ground, they suddenly burst into mocking laughter.
That's it?
A group of soldiers and horses surrounding the Yun Kingdom mission heard the mocking sound and reacted one after another.
Opposite are the Yun Kingdom's Imperial Guards, all in armor! What's the use of archery?
"Sling! Sling!" Nie Chi shouted loudly, ignoring the pull of the tribesmen around him.
Due to limited national power, Tubo was unable to forge iron arrowheads, so a substitute, the sling, was naturally born.
Several stones are tied together. It is simple to make, low cost, and very powerful. Apart from the short range, it has no other shortcomings. It is the most suitable weapon for a weak country like Tubo.
At this time, when the camp of the Yun State Mission was besieged, it was time for the sling to come into play!
Upon hearing Nie Chi's urgent cry, a group of horsemen immediately took off their slings from their horses and swung them toward the camp.
Wang Xuance's eyes were sharp. When he saw the overwhelming rocks, his pupils shrank and he exclaimed:
"Sling!"
The next moment, stones fell one after another, hitting the ground with a "bang bang" bang on the iron shield.
The tents, vehicles, campfires... everything in the camp was smashed to pieces by stones.
From time to time, the sling was thrown in at a tricky angle, and there were always a few unlucky Imperial Guards. The envoy screamed, and his head was hit by a stone, bleeding, and he fell to the ground.
Wang Xuance hid under the iron shield, gritting his teeth, his face red, and his whole body trembling with anger.
If it weren't for the envoys of the envoy who needed protection, he would have led the imperial army to rush out. Why should he huddle here and be harassed by the Tubo tribe's cavalry?
Nie Chi looked at the Yun Kingdom's imperial army trapped in the camp and hurriedly said again:
"Don't rush in, and don't throw out the sling all at once. I have the advantage, and I won't waste them!"
Nie Chi was extremely worried about the bravery of the Yun army. Anyway, the Yun State mission was now isolated and helpless and could be slowly consumed, so why fight head-on?
Nie Chi's decision was obviously the right one.
As time gradually passed, some of the Yun Kingdom envoys who had eaten the drugged wine and meat began to have weak limbs and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The leader of the guards at Sticky Post finally came to his senses at this time and couldn't help but said in a very sad and angry tone:
"Sir, those drunken men and women were manipulated, and we didn't even notice it, causing the mission to fall into such a situation. We really deserve death!"
A shield-wielding imperial guard beside Wang Xuance rolled his eyelids, fell down in a daze, and the iron shield in his hand suddenly slipped.
At this moment, a sling was thrown over. By coincidence, it hit Wang Xuance's iron helmet with a "bang".
Wang Xuance didn't care about this, and quickly raised the fallen iron shield and erected the shield formation again.
The Imperial Guard beside him exclaimed and said:
"Sir, are you okay?"
Wang Xuance felt the blood slowly flowing from his forehead, resisted the feeling of drowsiness, and gritted his teeth and said:
"It's okay... now is not the time to judge the crime. We and others who are on our mission to protect the women of the province must not die here... No matter what, the whole army should not be annihilated here!"
Having said this, Wang Xuance's eyes flashed with determination, he gritted his teeth suddenly and said:
"Those who still have strength, follow me and break out of the siege... If anyone can return to the country, he will tell His Majesty face to face that he will personally lead the army to attack and avenge the lives of those who died!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the envoy immediately felt a sense of solemn and solemn determination arise in their hearts.
I heard everyone shouting in unison:
"Today's revenge will be washed away with the blood of Tubo!"
The roar was filled with a desperate spirit, which made Nie Chi and other fellow sheep standing aside feel a chill in their hearts!
Nie Chi could not hide the look of horror in his eyes. He was no longer as calm as before, and subconsciously shouted:
"Kill, don't let anyone go!"
After hearing the military order, the Yangtong cavalry changed their formation and were about to force their way into the camp when suddenly there was a sound of "clang" coming from a distance.
The sound of "咻咻咻" pierced the air, causing all the sheep cavalrymen to subconsciously turn their heads and look towards the place where the sound came from, and then each one of them suddenly showed expressions as if they had seen ghosts and gods.
Under the night sky, you can see the rain of arrows shooting, like dense dark clouds, and in a daze, it seems to cover up the moon with scattered moonlight in the sky.
The fierce and murderous aura rushed straight into the sky, causing the heaven and earth to move, and visions condensed.
It is a huge strange phenomenon with a strange appearance. There are leopard prints all over the deer's body. The horns on its head are ferocious, and it looks very much like a bird or beast like a peacock. The lower body is a thick snake tail.
This strange beast is no different from the mythical Feilian beast that controls the wind!
Fei Lian's vision was surrounded by cyan power, and as soon as it was condensed, a strong wind followed him. And with the help of the wind, the arrows shot out became even more powerful.
"That is, what is that..."
"The evil god! It's the evil god!"
The shrill Tubo language resounded around the camp. But as the arrows rained down, they fell one after another, and the sound suddenly weakened.
The iron feathered arrows shot down with great force, and there was a sound of flesh and blood piercing immediately. In just one round of arrows, hundreds of sheep's cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.
For the sheep cavalry who only wore leather armor, it was a fatal blow.
The bright moon hangs in the sky, scattering light, making the sight extremely clear and clear.
Then they saw the Yunlong flag waving in the distance, and the Yunjun in white armor appeared over there, shooting arrows at this place.
Although the Yang Tongbu cavalry was very close to the Yun State envoy, they seemed to have deliberately avoided it. At this time, despite the rain of arrows falling among the Yang Tongbu cavalry, none of the arrows hit the Yun State camp.
in the ground.
In the line of sight that is difficult for ordinary people to see, several lines of fonts appeared above Yun Jun's head in the distance.
[Tianxiong Army, Level 3 Special Archers]
[The training required for soldiers...]
[Prerequisite...]
[Required equipment...]
[Characteristics: Soldiers are all from the same country, share weal and woe, and are united as one. When the army loses 40%, morale doubles and attack power increases by 2 points]
Wang Xuance pushed away the iron shield, stood up again, looked at the rain of arrows in the distance, his spirit was shaken, and he said excitedly:
"Hahaha, reinforcements are coming!"
Nie Chi, the leader of the Yangtong tribe, looked at the miraculous sight of the Yun army gathering in the distance, as well as the tribe's cavalry who had lost their morale and fighting strength. He trembled all over and said feebly and regretfully:
"It's over..."
The young men of the Yang family on the side could not hide their panic at this time, and hurriedly protected Nie Chi and fled away.
But at this time, it was already a little late.
The Yun army in the distance suddenly came out with a group of cavalry.
Supported by a large number of people around them, Nie Chi and his party hurriedly fled towards the direction of Tubo. They became extremely conspicuous and naturally became the targets of the Yun Army's pursuit. Before they could escape far, they were captured by the Yun Army's cavalry.
go back.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
In fact, there are still a few hundred words left, but it seems that I can’t finish today’s plot, so I’ll just stop here…
In addition, I would like to quietly complain here, the girl I went on a blind date with before was really speechless. She told my sister that I don’t have high emotional intelligence and I don’t take the initiative.
In my entire life, only people have said that I have high emotional intelligence, and this is the first time that I have been said so.
Didn't she think that there was a possibility that she actually had a mediocre emotional intelligence and didn't realize that I didn't intend to have any contact with her at all...
