Volume Six, Suddenly, Chapter 70: There Are Wild Horses Between Heaven and Earth
Chanyu walked out of the golden tent and looked at the scenes around him. A satisfied smile appeared on his dark and handsome face. He was satisfied with the calmness of his subordinates and even more satisfied with the present day that took many days and years to create.
In his opinion, the Zhenbei Army, which seriously lacked cavalry, could not be an opponent of the Golden Horde Cavalry. The battle between the two sides in the past few days was so stalemate. On the one hand, it was because the Zhenbei Army's combat effectiveness was indeed unexpected.
Due to their tenacity, the weapons and practitioners of the Tang Dynasty exerted power beyond imagination, and the more important reason is that the Golden Horde Cavalry did not attack with all their strength, but more of testing and consumption.
In a battle between infantry and cavalry, regardless of who has the innate advantage, only psychologically, the cavalry must have the upper hand. If the infantry wants to resist the cavalry's offensive, it must pay more in physical and mental costs.
In the past few days, the Golden Horde cavalry was consuming the physical strength and spirit of the Tang army's infantry. More importantly, it was gradually wearing away the opponent's will and courage, while at the same time boosting one's own morale and strengthening the confidence to win.
Today is the decisive day.
The Golden Horde Cavalry will attack with all their strength, leaving no retreat, and no way to survive. It is necessary to return hundreds of years of humiliation to the Tang people, and it is necessary to completely defeat the main force of the Zhenbei Army.
This is a very risky strategy, but in Chanyu's view, it is a sure-win strategy. After testing in the past few days, he was very sure that the Tang people did not hide any tricks, so he would crush them openly.
Dawn is gradually approaching, and the white fish belly on the eastern horizon is gradually occupying one-tenth of the sky. The faint morning light falls on the grassland and falls on Shanyu's face, making the lines of his cheeks appear harder and stronger.
He looked at the wilderness in the south. Looking at the faint Tang Camp in the distance, he seemed to see that later, the black cavalry of the Golden Tent surged in like a tide, and the ground of the entire grassland began to shake. Then just like the previous days
, all kinds of ordnance were fired at the Tang camp, and catapults were fired.
There was a dull sound, the spears in front of the camp fence were so sharp, the iron spikes in the trenches were so cold, the swords of the practitioners in the Central Plains flashed, and the formation spirit kept rising. The vitality of heaven and earth will change violently between heaven and earth. However,
Those... will eventually be overwhelmed by his cavalry.
General Loeb came over and looked at the wisest Chanyu in the history of the grasslands, the man whom he admired most in his life. His voice trembled slightly and he said: "After today, you will be the king of the entire human world."
Chanyu no longer smiled. He was as calm as usual. He was so calm because he was certain. He looked beyond the Tang camp in the south to a location further south, and listened to the national master saying that that is Chang'an.
The gentle but formidable emperor died six years ago, but his daughter was still alive. Shanyu silently thought that when he captured Chang'an, he would kill her and then insert his penis into her body.
inside.
Ada also appeared outside the golden tent. He had not taken a shower last night, and the blood stains on his body had already condensed, exuding a faint fishy smell, attracting mosquitoes and flies in the weeds.
The nobles looked at this former young slave, now the most powerful warrior in the Golden Horde, with eyes full of disgust and fear, and they were unwilling to stand too close to him.
Ah Da was injured on the battlefield a few days ago. In order to remember this injury, he deliberately did not wash off the blood on his body. He did not want to remember the humiliation, but wanted to remember that he should learn from the other party.
That day, he hid among the Golden Horde cavalry charging into the formation, broke through the Tang army's trench spear barrier, and then hid with the corpses of his companions, trying to assassinate Hua Ying, the vanguard general of the Zhenbei Army after the war.
Ah Da has always wanted to kill Hua Ying. At first, he just wanted to retaliate against Ning Que for the bloody prisoner-killing actions launched by Ning Que in Chang'an City. Later, it was because he had never been able to kill Hua Ying. He was very unwilling to do so.
It was like a poisonous snake that caused him pain and made him risk such a risk to carry out this assassination.
His assassination failed because from the very beginning, or to be more precise, from the moment he hid in the cavalry and rushed to the Tang camp, his whereabouts and purpose had been figured out by one person.
Clearly.
Hua Ying never appeared. What came was a hammer, and then a formation.
Ada suddenly encountered a surprise attack and was immediately injured, but after all, he was now a real master of the Golden Tent Royal Court. In the end, he successfully broke through the siege of the Tang army and escaped back to the Golden Tent, but he was in an extreme state of embarrassment.
Regardless of his injuries, he visited the Imperial Master late at night and learned the identities of those people.
The one who saw through his plan was Mr. Fan Yue, the Fourth Master of the Academy. The warrior who wielded the hammer was the Sixth Mr. of the Academy, and the woman who used the formation as if she was alive was the Seventh Mr. of the Academy.
The cultivation realm of these three academy gentlemen is at the peak of the Dongxuan Realm. From the perspective of the world's cultivation world, of course they are already very remarkable figures. But for a truly strong man like Ada, he can beat the opponent ten times with one blow.
However, in the end he was defeated so miserably, which he couldn't understand.
After thinking about it all night, Ata did not become angrier or get carried away by anger, but became a lot calmer. This was the first time he faced the academy on the battlefield, and he learned a lot. He was very fond of the academy.
He has gained a lot more respect, and his determination to destroy the academy has become much firmer.
That's why when he looked at Tangying under the morning light, his expression was so calm. Even if he was hated and feared by those nobles, he was still calm. The Golden Account will definitely win today, and there should be no need for him to take action.
They also firmly believed that the Golden Horde would win, so Chanyu and Ata were calm, while more men on the grassland seemed very fanatical. They looked at the Tang army in the south with a wolf-like cold light in their eyes.
As long as they defeat the Tang Kingdom, the Golden Tent will be the overlord of the entire human world. In the new world, they will occupy the most prosperous and prosperous towns in the Central Plains, cover themselves with the smoothest silks, possess the most beautiful women, and drink the strongest drinks.
The fine wine, the clearest stream, and the softest white flour pastry...
These are gifts from the Immortal Heaven. If you don't accept them, you will be punished by God.
…
…
Chanyu, Ata and countless Golden Horde cavalry looked at the Tang camp in the south.
In the Tang camp, General Hua Ying and his subordinates were also looking north. In the temporary general's mansion further away, Xu Chi was also looking north, looking at the group of hungry wolves in the morning light and morning wind.
People feel the danger.
The battle over the past ten days had been extremely brutal, and the Golden Horde Cavalry could not be said to have failed to exert its full strength. It was only the Zhenbei Army's defense that was extremely tenacious, so the battle was evenly matched, but today was different.
Today Jinzhang is obviously going to fight hard. The Chanyu and his subjects are ready to put the fate of the entire tribe into the battle that will begin later.
Hua Ying's face was ashen.
With the help of the telescope, he was able to see everything going on in the Golden Court. He saw the prairie barbarians feeding the horses, water and salt, and even saw the sheep bones being cooked in the pot.
As an experienced Tang general, he knew very well the fighting habits of the prairie cavalry. In more than an hour at most, those well-fed and drunk war horses would lead the group of wolf-like barbarians towards him.
This is the most formal combat rule of the prairie cavalry, which is why his face was livid and extremely angry - Shanyu and his prairie cavalry were not afraid of letting the Tang army see these scenes. It was tantamount to saying that they would start the battle today.
The time was determined and notified to Tang Jun.
What kind of confidence is this, and what kind of humiliation it is for Tang Jun!
If it were ten years ago, when Hua Ying observed the first scene, she would have already sent out cavalry to make a surprise attack. If the enemy was unprepared, she would surely have achieved sufficient results.
But it doesn't work now, because he doesn't have a sufficient number of cavalry, and it's even less possible to prepare horses in batches according to time that are ready to attack at any time like the Zhenbei Army did in its heyday...
if.
That sentence and that judgment appeared in Hua Ying's mind again.
If the Tang Dynasty could still have a real cavalry and a sufficient number of war horses, would the Chanyu still dare to advance so recklessly? No, what awaits the Golden Tent today will surely be destruction.
If, oh if, if there really can be ifs, how can there be so many ifs in the world? There have never been ifs, so the Golden Horde will not perish today. Only Shanyu and his prairie cavalry dare to be so arrogant and violent
The Zhenbei Army would face such an ending after a sudden advance. He had even seen the bleak color above the word "ending" and smelled the breath of despair above the word "ending".
Unlike General Huaying, the ordinary Zhenbei Army soldiers still look resolute and calm. They don't know the secret military information, they don't know the results of the sand table deduction, and they don't know or are too lazy to care about the odds of winning or losing this war. They
He only knows how to fight and be as fearless as he was all those years ago.
Looking at the Tang army silently preparing to fight, Situ Yilan lowered her eyes slightly to cover up the gloom, then quickly raised her head and cheered up, not wanting to affect even the smallest amount of morale.
She suddenly noticed a Tang Jun standing next to the pot nearby. At this time, all the Tang Jun had quickly finished their breakfast and began to crossbows, arrows and sharpen their knives. Only the Tang Jun was still standing next to the pot, holding a big bowl in his left hand.
, holding a wooden spoon in his right hand, eating vegetable porridge with big mouthfuls. After eating the meat inside, he gurgled happily.
"May I have your name?"
Situ Yilan walked to the stove, looked at the Tang Jun and said.
The Tang Army soldier was not very old, but from the calluses between his fingers holding the porridge bowl and the careless look on his brows, it could be seen that he was a veteran of many battles.
The Tang soldier looked at her and was stunned. He put the porridge bowl on the edge of the stove, gave a military salute, and reported: "The leader of the fourth scout team of the forward battalion, Wang Wu, has met the general."
"Wang Wu? A very clean and neat name."
Situ Yilan said: "It's just that things are not neat enough. Haven't you seen that everyone else has returned to the camp to prepare for the battle? Why haven't you returned to the team yet?"
Wang Wu showed great respect for her, but that didn't mean he was afraid. He explained in a very sincere and funny manner: "The scouts don't have to go out to fight for the time being. Besides, it will take at least more than an hour for those barbarians to attack.
Why be too anxious? There is so much meat in today's porridge, it would be a shame not to eat it all."
Situ Yilan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "He is indeed a veteran."
Wang Wu scratched his itchy neck with the end of a wooden spoon, and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Situ Yilan said: "My appetite is so good early in the morning. It seems that you are very confident in winning this battle today. If everyone can be the same, or..."
When she said the word "or", she stopped abruptly.
The tired smile on Wang Wu's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at her calmly and even said indifferently: "General, or something? Or can there be a miracle? You know, there is no miracle."
Situ Yilan stared into his eyes with cold eyes, and after a moment of silence she said, "What do you want to say."
"There is a lot of meat in the porridge today, and there are even more vegetables than meat... Although the food of our Zhenbei Army has always been excellent, this kind of treatment is still too good, which makes me very suspicious."
Wang Wu was not afraid of her gaze and said calmly: "Or, this is the last meal before death, so the general wants us to eat better?"
Situ Yilan said coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Wang Wu pointed to the soldiers of the Tang army who were silently preparing for battle in the tent not far away and said: "I know that today's battle will be lost. In fact, many people know it. They just don't say it."
Situ Yilan was silent for a long time after hearing this.
Wang Wu said: "If you think I have shaken the morale of the army, you can kill me on the spot."
Situ Yilan said: "I want to know even more why you said this to me."
Wang Wu said: "Because I want to tell General Xu, tell the court, tell the academy... I am not willing to accept it. I don't want to lose. I don't understand why the Zhenbei Army ended up like this."
Situ Yilan said in a deep voice: "It is my mission as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty to defend the border for our country. Why are you unwilling to do so?"
"The question is, why did General Xu send us people outside Guhe? Why must we fight here? I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to be sent to die."
Wang Wu suddenly became angry, threw the wooden spoon in his hand into the porridge pot, and shouted at Situ Yilan: "Xiang Wan was originally ceded by the imperial court, and this battlefield was chosen by the general's office. Why did we let us die?"
Why do you let us die if we lose? You generals, even if you let us die, can't you win!"
Situ Yilan stretched out her hand to stop the soldier next to her from drawing her sword. She was silent for a long time because she didn't know how to answer the veteran's angry question. Yes, the imperial court wanted the Tang army to keep the enemy out of the country, and the Tang army would not hesitate to throw their heads.
Even if they shed blood, they can do it, but the court must at least let them win. Otherwise, even if they die, how can they rest in peace?
"Then what do you want to do and what do you want us to do?" she asked, looking at Wang Wu very seriously.
Wang Wu didn't expect to hear such a reply. He was silent for a long time, smiled sadly, said nothing, turned around and walked back to his camp.
Situ Yilan looked at his back and did not continue to ask, because she probably guessed what the young veteran wanted, which was also what she wanted, and what the entire Zhenbei Army and even the Tang Dynasty wanted.
Wang Wu walked back to his tent and stared at the half bag of hay outside the tent for a long time.
He was a scout, one of the very few soldiers in the Zhenbei Army who had horses. However, his horse died two years ago outside Weicheng. Since then, he has never had the opportunity to own his own mount.
A scout without a mount is not as good as a dog. Wang Wu often thinks this way. In the past two years, he feels that his life is indeed not as good as that of a dog, because the dog can still bark twice. What can he do?
Wang Wu kicked away the hay and prepared to wash his face. When he looked at the pale face in the bucket, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he suddenly began to hate his current mood.
He took a deep breath, suppressed all the despair and anger in his heart, pulled out the broadsword he had brought from Weicheng from its sheath, and scolded his subordinates to prepare for the battle later.
A scout without a mount... is still the Tang army. Even if it is a desperate battle, they will fight to the end.
He looked at the Golden Tent Camp under the morning light in the north, and suddenly thought of Weicheng.
When Weicheng was massacred by the Golden Horde cavalry, only a handful of people escaped, and he was one of them.
Returning to the Zhenbei Army, after going through the identity verification, he regained his mount, and then lost it again, just like he once owned a Weicheng city, but in the end he kept nothing.
Wang Wu often misses the days when he followed General Ma to hunt in the grasslands, and even more misses the days when he followed those fierce seniors to Subi Lake to kill horse thieves and steal gold and silver. Those days are gone and will never come back.
Underneath his careless and weary expression, there is anger that has never been extinguished and hatred that bites his heart like a poisonous snake. He never thinks about joining the Zhenbei Army in defeating the barbarians on the grassland and regaining Weicheng.
But that's hard.
And looking at today's situation, it seems that that day will never come.
He wants a war horse, a divine war horse. He wants to ride a war horse and charge towards the enemy. If he has a war horse and all his comrades have war horses, then his wish will come true.
This obsession kept tormenting him. Looking at the horses in the Golden Tent, he was going crazy. As long as someone gave him a horse, he was willing to give up all his property and even his life. He was even willing to give him a horse.
Those prairie barbarians with sour odor all over their bodies just wash their feet and kill their opponents later.
If someone gives him a horse, he is willing to work as a cow or a horse for him.
Unfortunately, there is still no if.
Wang Wu lowered his head and prepared to wash his face. It would be the bloodiest and most brutal battle in the past millennium. This battle would be composed of countless battles. Countless people would die. The Zhenbei Army might be defeated, and then all the Tang troops would surely be defeated.
When he died for his country, he didn't want to have dirt on his face and green cabbage leaves in his mouth.
The next moment, he suddenly felt dazzled. Because the water in the basin started to tremble, his eyebrows changed into strange shapes in the water. They were not as gloomy as before, but rather funny.
Feeling the vibration in the distance, there were also people from the Golden Tent Palace dozens of miles away. More than 100,000 prairie knights were nervously preparing for battle and feeding their mounts water. Suddenly, they discovered that those brave but extremely tame war horses suddenly
became extremely anxious and restless, and some
The horses shook their heads desperately and refused to lower their heads to drink water and eat fodder. Some horses looked somewhere in horror and kicked their front hooves uneasily, as if this was the only way to comfort themselves that the vibrations coming from the ground were false and not real.
Some of the existences they fear most instinctively.
The entire wilderness began to shake. From Weicheng in the north to the meadows outside the Guhe River, the wheels of carts in the military camps on both sides creaked. Some soldiers who were not paying attention were even shaken to the point where they could not stand still.
Ah Da jumped onto the roof of a large car and squinted his eyes to look at the origin of the tremor. His eyesight was very good and he was probably the first person in the room to see clearly what was going on there, so he was also the first to be shocked to the point of being speechless.
He is a young man, with an incredible expression written on his young but usually proud and cold cheeks.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people saw the cause of the vibration clearly. Wuwu's eyebrows suddenly raised high, the corners of his lips raised high, his hands began to tremble, and the wet towel fell into the basin,
A splash of water.
Like him, the scouts inside and outside the camp, as well as the Zhenbei Army soldiers further away, all felt this vibration. They looked to the northwest. The military camp became silent, and people's faces were full of shock and confusion...
What's more, there is still a faint excitement and expectation.
Under the rising sun, the wilderness was extremely clear. There was no strong wind and no dust. The line of sight was extremely clear. On the northwest horizon, a large black cloud was slowly approaching.
The reason why it is slowly approaching is not because the black clouds move too slowly, but because the area covered by the black clouds is too wide, which gives people the illusion.
The black cloud quickly flew over ten miles and arrived at the edge of the field by the valley river. Everyone could see clearly that it was not a black cloud at all, but a large dense smoke and dust!
The smoke and dust are all dust brought up by the horses' hooves!
Countless wild horses are sweeping in!
The morning sun reflected the sky red, and the warm light entered the smoke, as if it had captured the morning glow from the sky to the ground. Those galloping horses seemed to be burning, and they were extremely beautiful and dazzling!
No one can count how many wild horses are hidden in that morning glow, and no one wants to figure out how many wild horses can create such an earth-shattering momentum!
People only knew that a group of unimaginable wild horses suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
These wild horses... are running towards the Tang army!
There was still silence on the grassland, so the hoofbeats of wild horses in the distance became clearer, falling in everyone's ears like thunder and hitting everyone's hearts.
All the soldiers in the Tang Army's vanguard camp stopped preparing for war. No matter how strict the military discipline was and how strong the spirit was, they could not stop looking at the morning glow and the overwhelming wild horses.
Some Tang Jun began to rub their eyes, wondering if they were dazzled. They told themselves in their hearts that it must not be dazzled, but they still found it unbelievable because the picture was indeed unbelievable.
Some Tang soldiers did not even blink, such as Wang Wu, who stared at the wild horses in the morning glow like a little girl in a Weicheng tavern, fearing that the wild horses would disappear if he blinked.
Situ Yilan pursed her lips tightly, her face turned a little pale, and her hand holding the handle of the knife trembled a little. She knew it was not an illusion, but she was not convinced that those wild horses were really coming to Tangying. If...if this happened later
What if a group of wild horses suddenly rush towards the vast grassland in the east and suddenly disappear as if they are coming suddenly? What if they are just passing by?
The mood of the people in the Tang Dynasty was as complicated as their expressions. Nervous, longing, shocked, worried and even panicked. They watched the morning glow getting closer and closer, and watched the wild horses filling the world getting closer and closer, becoming more and more nervous.
.
The morning glow finally dissipated and returned to the appearance of smoke. The grassland outside Guhe was completely obscured by wind and sand. The more than 100,000 war horses at the Golden Tent Royal Tribe neighed in panic. The sunlight was blocked and it was difficult to see clearly.
Situ Yilan closed her eyes. Then she opened them.
Then she saw a brown wild horse looking at her in front of her. The brown horse's eyes were full of curiosity like a human baby, and it was extremely innocent and calm.
The smoke and dust gradually subsided, and the Tang camp burst into cheers. The cheers of the soldiers were so high-pitched that it was difficult to describe it in words. They even seemed a little crazy, turning into some kind of vent-like shouts!
All this is true.
Those who came to Tangying in the morning glow were indeed horses. They were wild horses, countless wild horses.
Those wild horses were walking freely in the Tang Army's military camp, as if they were strolling on the grassland. Their long manes were gently dancing in the morning breeze. Their horses were unusually powerful, and their eyes were full of curiosity.
Just like the brown wild horse, it couldn't understand why the woman in front of it was crying.
The wild horses didn't understand why these humans cheered, why their voices were so hoarse, why they hugged their necks and kept rubbing, why they laughed, and why they cried.
That's because they don't understand that for the Tang people, their arrival is a real miracle.
For more than ten days, this year, these three years... From the emperor to the ministers, from ordinary people to the soldiers who fought bloody battles, the Tang State prayed all the time to have a sufficient number of war horses, but they knew that was a luxury hope, because Xiang Wan
Originally there was no such thing, because the Taoist sect would not give the Tang State a chance.
Seeing that this war that will determine the trend of the entire world is about to begin, people like General Hua Ying, Situ Yilan, and Wang Wu still can't help but murmur and think about this matter silently in their hearts. They even
He is willing to sacrifice his life and dignity to pray that Haotian, who no longer believes in faith, will give Tang a chance.
The Tang State needed horses and war horses.
Haotian seemed to have really heard the voices of all the Tang people, as if she had forgotten the Tang people's betrayal of her. She stood deep in the morning glow and said three words to the muddy pond deep in the wasteland.
"There must be a horse."
Therefore, the Tang people had horses.
…
…
Tangying instantly entered a state of crazy carnival. In stark contrast, dozens of tribes in the Golden Tent Royal Court were still silent, and the faces of all the grassland people became extremely pale.
The Imperial Court of the Golden Horde dared to invade the south with its entire clan and engage in national war with the Tang people, and all the tribes followed Shan Yu's footsteps without hesitation. This was all based on one iron-clad fact: the Tang army lacked horses.
However, just before the war, countless wild horses came running wildly from the depths of the grassland. What happened? Where did these wild horses come from? Why did the tribe live in the grassland for many years but did not know the existence of these wild horses?
, and which grassland can support so many wild horses?
Some tribal elders and a few brave travelers recalled a rumor that started decades ago. It was said that in the deep swamp in the Western Wilderness, where even wolves did not dare to enter easily, there lived a group of people who could step into the swamp.
The Pegasus that feeds water and clouds, those Pegasus are the mounts of the Immortal Heaven, but they only live in the human world...
Could it be that the black wild horses in the south are the legendary Pegasus?
If they were really Changshengtian's mounts, why would they go to Tangying?
The old man looked pale as if he was about to faint, the traveler's body kept shaking, the tribal warrior could hardly hold the handle of his scimitar, and the women began to chant sutras in a panic tone, hoping to get the protection of the Immortal Heaven.
Looking at the overwhelming herds of wild horses in the south, the prairie people suddenly felt that they had been abandoned by the Everlasting Heaven.
No one understood why such a thing happened, not even the Imperial Master in the carriage staying behind, but he knew that everything had changed and sighed deeply.
Several priests had been ordered to go to the Golden Tent, and he formed a car formation with the remaining high priests. He never appeared on the battlefield because he was afraid of Yu Lian and Tang, and he had been persuading Shan Yu not to advance so rashly.
, because he always felt that the academy and the Tang Dynasty would not be so simple. Unfortunately, he failed to convince the other party.
The outcome of today's war seems to have been determined.
But some people don't think so.
Looking at the dusty Tang camp in the south, Shan Yu still had a stern expression on his handsome face. As a generation of grassland overlord, he used his supreme courage to push the entire clan of the Golden Horde to invade the south, risking his expedition and being lured and surrounded by the Tang army.
He wanted to fight this national war head-on because he firmly believed that he could win the final victory.
He wants to avenge his brother, and most importantly, he wants to rule the entire world. He wants to make his subordinates become nobles in every country in the Central Plains, and wants his descendants to occupy the beautiful mountains and rivers of the south forever, so he must win.
.This is what the viewer promised him. It is also what he promised to the viewer.
Until now, even when he saw countless wild horses coming in the morning glow, he still had not lost confidence. To be more precise, except for his uglier face, his will had not been affected in any way.
General Loeb murmured: "The news came from the Taoist sect. It is said that... Changshengtian has disappeared, and the people in the Central Plains are looking for it. Could it be that we violated her will. That's why we sent these Pegasus to help the Tang people?"
Shan Yu's eyes flashed coldly, he stared at him and said coldly: "Stupid thing."
Loeb did not dare to argue and retreated silently. He thought he knew Shan Yu's thoughts... This upcoming field battle on the Guhe grassland would be a decisive battle. The Golden Horde could not afford to fail, nor could it afford to turn back.
The price of retreat was because the cavalry of the Golden Horde had gone too far south and the road home was too long.
Since we can't admit defeat or retreat, we can only keep fighting, so how can we shake the morale of the army at this time? Loeb understands the reason, so he keeps silent when he is called stupid.
"This has nothing to do with morale...it's impossible for the Tang people to win."
"Why?"
"What do people in the Tang Dynasty want even when they are weeping and sighing?"
"horse."
"Wrong."
Chanyu looked at the south with an extremely indifferent expression and extremely confident, "What the Tang people want is not horses, but war horses."
Yes, although Situ Yilan and Wang Wu silently think about it every day, no matter what kind of horse is good, as long as they have horses, in fact, the cavalry only needs war horses.
War horses must undergo long-term training.
But now there are just a group of wild horses on the grassland...
A wild horse has never seen blood, has never been on the battlefield, has no saddle, and no bridle. How to ride it? How to fight?
No one can train tens of thousands of wild horses into war horses capable of fighting in such a short period of time.
As soon as morning arrives, the battlefield is about to begin. Those wild horses... besides looking at them, what else can they do?
After listening to Shan Yu's words, General Loeb's face suddenly became clear. He was the general who commanded the royal cavalry. The reason why he did not think of this problem was simply that he was stunned by the scene of thousands of galloping horses.
The Royal Court of the Golden Horde began to speed up preparations for the charge. The war horses that were previously frightened by the wild horses became calmer under the comfort of their masters. They began to put on their leather armor and quivers, and just looked at the companions in the south.
At that time, the war horses in the Golden Tent still seemed a little uneasy and the queue was a little chaotic.
But just like Shan Yu's indifferent and correct judgment, the Tang camp in the south is now even more chaotic. The Tang army, which finally woke up from the ecstasy and tears, listened to the military news from the distant scouts and began to prepare for battle as quickly as possible, but failed
It was discovered that there were not enough riding equipment in the Zhenbei Army's vanguard camp... It had been three full years without mounts. Indeed, no one among the Zhenbei Army officers and soldiers had thought of this problem in advance.
The more troublesome thing is yet to come. The Tang army discovered that although the wild horses showed a relatively friendly attitude towards them, they were extremely resistant to being tied up with reins, let alone being put on riding gear... The Tang camp was full of hooves and chaos.
Wild horses were running around, with colorful mane flying everywhere, and some wild horses even knocked over the Tang army and took off...
Although I couldn't see the specific scene in the Tang camp, I could hear the noise coming from there, and I could see the smoke and dust that represented chaos. The prairie cavalry, who already knew Shan Yu's wise judgment, whistled mockingly in the direction of the Tang camp.
He made a sound, waving the scimitar in his hand, showing his contempt to his heart's content.
At this moment, an extremely unpleasant scream resounded from heaven to earth.
The sound was like two rough stones rubbing against each other, like a broken windbox, giving people a feeling of weakness, or like a patient panting, but it never stopped.
The unpleasant hissing sound pierced the heaven and earth.
The jeers of the more than 100,000 prairie cavalry from the Golden Tent were forcibly suppressed.
The angry roars and weird snorts of wild horses in the Tang camp disappeared in an instant.
Tens of thousands of wild horses seemed to have heard the most frightening sound, and no longer dared to move. They all looked at the place where the scream came from, raising their necks high, as if they were soldiers waiting to be reviewed.
The smoke and dust in the northwest of the wilderness were about to fall completely.
Something faintly came out from inside.
They were eight wild horses, rare horses in the world, dragging a dilapidated chariot.
There was a black donkey sitting in the dilapidated chariot. A lot of the fur on the donkey's body was peeled off, and it looked a little pitiful, but its expression looked very comfortable. Maybe it was born with pride. Or maybe it was because it was eating grapes and drinking wine.
The black donkey stared down at all the horses, wild horses and war horses in the wilderness, like a real king.
The wild horses in the Tang Camp lowered their heads.
The war horses in the Golden Tent are frightened.
Muyou and Sixth Brother walked out of the camp and walked towards the broken chariot.
Only then did they see the big black horse dragging the black chariot behind the broken chariot. He had a cheerful expression and a fat body. It seemed that he had been living well with his elders in the past three years.
Muyou smiled, but because the air in the grassland was too dry, the corners of her lips were cracked and bleeding.
She and Sixth Senior Brother saluted the black donkey in the carriage.
The black donkey nodded very reservedly and returned the favor.
The big black horse ran to Muyou's side, lowered his head and was about to rub into her arms. Suddenly he remembered the guy who now only had one arm and twisted away forcefully.
Muyu touched its neck.
The big black horse retreated solemnly, bowed his head, and saluted to her and the sixth senior brother.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of wheels came from behind the Tang camp.
An unknown number of large carts came out of the baggage camp and arrived at the vanguard camp. The carts were filled with all kinds of riding equipment and sabers. The one at the front was Fourth Senior Brother Fan Yue.
The disciples from the mountain behind the academy finally met each other in the wilderness.
…
…
The horse is saddled, the reins are gradually tightened, and the wild horse is calm.
The cavalrymen of the Zhenbei Army gently touched the familiar riding equipment and were filled with emotion. Their former mounts gradually grew old and passed away. Only these were the same as before. Although they were older, they were still useful.
Wang Wu held the water in his hands, walked to his horse, and fed it water. Looking at the still restless wild horse, he thought to himself, I will really be a cow and horse for you for the rest of my life...
Now, let's go kill the enemy first.
Yes, let's go kill the enemy.
The cavalry of the Golden Tent Royal Court had already taken the lead in attacking, like a tide.
The extremely restless prairie war horses, under the whipping of their owners' whips and the pain of their spurs, burst into blood and fierceness. They forgot some kind of awe in their instincts and began to charge.
However, Tang Jun seemed much more silent than before.
They did not mount their horses, they led those wild horses... no, from this moment on, they were war horses, stepping on the hard soil on the grassland, walking slowly but firmly towards the north.
They are the Tang army.
The strongest cavalry in the world is always invincible.
The war horses they led had been running rampant in the great swamps in the northern part of the Western Wilderness for decades, and they were equally invincible.
Although the cavalry of the Golden Horde Royal Court is strong, what does it mean to them?
Smoke and dust covered the sky above the grassland.
Finally it was time to mount the horse.
Situ Yilan turned over and mounted the brown wild horse, and slowly pulled out the cold knife from its sheath.
She raised her blade and pointed it at the tide of prairie cavalry on the opposite side.
Her face was expressionless and she didn't speak.
The soldiers beside her suddenly roared angrily.
All the Tang troops roared at the same time.
The depression that lasted for several years turned into fighting spirit with this roar.
Then came the silent charge.
The charge of suffocating silence.
There were many Zhenbei Army cavalry who were a little unfamiliar with charging, but when they raised their swords and gently pressed their horses' bellies to urge their mounts to sprint forward, the familiar feeling quickly returned.
That feeling is called invincibility.
Countless streaks of smoke and dust cut open the grassland, and countless streaks of iron currents rushed towards the golden tent.
Suddenly, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Direction to Qilian City.
The side of the valley river.
All the cavalrymen of the Zhenbei Army ran out from there at some unknown time.
Black iron streams silently converged towards the golden tent from three directions. If anyone could look at the grassland from the sky, they would be shocked beyond words by this magnificent scene.
The cold wind blew the hair beside Situ Yilan's face.
She thought, for victory.
Wang Wu bit his lip and his eyes were extremely determined.
He thought, for Weicheng.
Under the banner of the Golden Horde King.
Shanyu's face was extremely pale.
Loeb anxiously advised him to retreat quickly and join the national army in the rear.
Shanyu said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
It was only at this moment that he understood why the Imperial Master had always disagreed with his decision to take risks.
Academy... Ning Que... so cruel.
The Golden Account was defeated.
He knows this very well.
With a pop, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, staggered, and fell off the horse.
On the valley river meadow.
Ning Que put down the telescope, thinking about the scene he had seen before, and was speechless.
He handed the telescope to General Xu Chi beside him.
Xu Chi looked at him and asked: "You have been holding back for so many years, just for today? Don't you think it's risky?"
Ning Que thought for a moment and said, "That's the only way."
Xu Chi said: "If you could have given these horses to me earlier, you could have won."
"But you can't kill them all."
After saying this, he walked down the meadow.
Situ Yilan for victory.
Wang Wu is for Weicheng.
So does he.
So from the very beginning, all he wanted to do was... kill them all.
