Now that they have just entered the grassland, they found more than two thousand cold thieves, which was something Lin Kui, the old soldier and others did not expect.
You must know that there are only three tribes on the north and east sides, all of which are outpost camp tribes such as Naichibe. On the north side, there is only Naichibe, which has been completely wiped out. Logically speaking, there should not be any large-scale Liang bandits.
That's right.
After Wang Tongtong ran up, he looked anxious: "One stick of incense, at most one stick of incense, and they will come. The horse is not fast. Sir, General Lin, how should we deal with it?"
Chu Qing also had no idea and looked at Lin Kui.
Lin Kui, Fu San and other veteran soldiers all looked confused, and the new soldiers around them also became nervous and quickly ran to the horses and drew out their weapons.
"Something's wrong."
Lin Hai was extremely calm: "If he came after everyone, it must be because he found the body of Nai Chibe. When he saw the body, he knew that it was the work of our wolf-catching army. But since he knew that it was the wolf-catching army, there were only more than two thousand
If you dare to chase people, something is wrong!"
Chu Qing also reacted: "You mean, if they are coming for us, there is no way that there are only two thousand people in the university?"
"Yes, young master, if you think about it, Nokabe is on the periphery. Even if the body is found, it cannot be found so quickly, let alone so accurately."
"That's true." Chu Qing looked to the west. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything.
There were more than 2,000 people, and they occupied a high place, with the wind blowing to the west. They had great advantages. Lin Kui didn't take it to heart at all, and neither did the old soldiers. Anyway, killing someone was not killing, and killing where was not killing. As long as he was sure
It's fine if there are only more than 2,000 people. I'm afraid that once the battle starts, there will be a steady stream of cold thieves coming to kill them.
"Mount."
Lin Kui gave the order and said to the old soldiers around him: "I always feel something is wrong, so hide it first."
Chu Qing also quickly got on the horse.
This time he is not going to take the third step to becoming a famous player.
When fighting against the Liang Pier Rangers, they either fought on foot or shot back and forth. You shoot me and I shoot you. Chu Qing is not good at bows and arrows at all and is of no use at all. He cannot be said to be a waste. He can only be said to be... a useless waste.
Again, there are not many tactics available on the grassland. Use the terrain to shoot a wave, then mount your horse and retreat. Either escape, or let the enemy's formation continue to disperse. Try to eliminate the cold thieves during the movement, and then take a big hit.
Circle, return to the hillside, and use the speed of the horse to charge the cavalry. If nothing unexpected happens, the Liang bandits will have suffered more than half of their losses in the battle, and finally it will be a close-quarters battle on horseback.
For this kind of thing, the veterans of the wolf-catching army are very good at it. They can use the light of torches to let the enemy thieves enter their preset positions, and kill them with just one word.
They all mounted their horses, holding long bows and quivers on their backs, and waited quietly.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, Liang Zei didn't show up, and Tan Ma came back.
"Sir, General Lin, the cool bandits have gone to the east side."
"Why did you go to the east side again?" Chu Qing's heart was like a roller coaster. It went up and down. When he went to the east side, it was obvious that he was not chasing him.
Lin Kui and a group of veterans were not surprised.
"Sure enough, they didn't come for us." Lin Kui asked thoughtfully: "Did Liang Thief light the torch? Is the baggage on the war horse big enough to hold a knife?"
"The torch is lit, the scimitar is stuck at the waist, the baggage is there, and there are two water bags."
Chu Qing was puzzled: "What's going on?"
"These cold thieves are chasing the enemy. The number of people chasing them should be small. Otherwise, they wouldn't light the torch."
"Chasing the enemy?" Chu Qing's pupils narrowed: "Is it chasing the soldiers who came out of the pass?"
"No, Ma Rujing and others went to the east and west sides. They separated after going deep into the grassland. There are so many people that chasing two thousand Liang bandits would be tantamount to death."
"Then who are they going to do?"
"This..." Lin Kui couldn't tell for a moment, so Fu San interrupted: "Follow me and have a look."
Chu Qing was also very curious. It couldn't be that Liang Zei drank too much and went out to ride horses in the middle of the night. Moreover, this location was too peripheral.
No one had any objections. Chu Qing and a group of small leaders clamped down on the horse's belly and moved forward to the east side. The large army was behind, divided into dozens of teams, and followed closely behind as if they were connected in a line.
The more than two thousand Liang bandits that Wang Tongtong mentioned were also marching at night, and they were indeed chasing others. They were chasing infantry, and their marching speed was not very fast.
The torch was lit, and the flames flickered, and Chu Qing and others soon caught up.
When the oriole who wanted to find out what was going on caught up with the mantis, the cicada was also caught up by the mantis.
Chu Qing and others did not know that they were Huangque, but they recognized Mantis's "identity" as a member of the Banner Wolf Clan under the Golden Wolf King's tent, and in the pass, they called them Banner Wolf Soldiers.
Night, strong wind, and slaughter.
When Chu Qing arrived, the flag wolf soldiers were performing an inhumane massacre.
The few carriages were all set on fire, and blood and flames, accompanied by screams, created a horrifying scene. Banners on horseback set fire to them, and slaughtered many unarmed herdsmen with scimitars.
Chu Qing and others were riding on a hillside, and they didn't expect to see such a scene when they climbed up the hillside.
It's not a battle, it's a massacre.
"The flag wolf soldiers are the flag wolf soldiers under the Golden Wolf King Khan's tent. Only the flag wolf soldiers from different tribes wear this kind of veil." Lin Hui was extremely surprised: "They are killing the grassland herdsmen!"
Fukuzo quickly explained the origin of the flag wolf soldiers, which were not tribes, but "slaves from the army".
The Banner Soldiers are not a tribe, but an army composed of slaves. The members of this army are brave and capable rangers from each tribe. There are also battles between tribes on the grassland.
Sometimes when a small tribe is annexed, the herders and young men of the tribe are willing to become slaves in exchange for their wives, children and other relatives, and become the most humble warriors on the grassland.
These slave soldiers were driven by the nobles, and most of them played a role similar to cannon fodder. Their life and death were in the hands of the nobles. They could be "traded" and sold, or they could become the nobles' scimitars and annex other tribes.
Almost every major tribe has slaves serving in the army, including those under the Golden Wolf King Khan, who are called flag wolf soldiers.
However, the flag wolf soldiers under the Golden Wolf King are not ordinary slave soldiers. More than ten years ago, the Tuoba clan, also a noble tribe, united many tribes and wanted to overthrow the Golden Wolf King Khan and replace him. In the end, they failed miserably.
Tuoba and several of the bravest rangers from the tribes all joined Nu Congjun, that is, the banner wolf soldiers under the Golden Wolf King's tent, which numbered about 50,000.
It is worth mentioning that Tuoba Ying, the little prince of the dead ghost prairie, was a member of the flag wolf soldiers back then, and he was considered to be the father of a thief.
The flag wolf soldiers have almost never competed with the Chang army, but they have been fighting all year round, fighting with their "own people" on the grassland. Any tribe who dares to question the authority of the Golden Wolf King on the grassland, any herdsman, as long as he is a Liang people, Qi Lang soldiers
The wolf soldiers will hunt them down on the grassland.
"Is it the grassland rebels?"
Lin Rui's face was full of confusion. On the battlefield, it could be said that it was a one-sided massacre. However, most of the Liang who were massacred were old, weak, women and children. There were almost no young people in sight, and the number was not large. There were more than a thousand
Human beings have no power to resist.
Fu San seemed to have thought of something and blurted out: "No, it's a rebel clan. Some tribe must have rebelled. The old, weak, women and children ran away in advance, so the flag wolf soldiers will hunt them down."
