"How can the Mongols have infantry that can form a formation?"
"What they do is called the Crow Soldiers Spreading Stars Formation. We've all seen it too often!"
The savior that was so close in front of them turned out to be the evil star. Everyone was frightened and disappointed. They couldn't believe it and asked questions.
"Stop talking, just concentrate and listen!"
Lu Shu gestured with his hand, and sure enough, a roaring song came from that direction.
The Mongols do not have writing, so when they communicate with each other, they often compose their words into lyrics and sing them. When they go into battle, their songs are used not only to express their identity, but also to convey orders. If they fall into the ears of the enemy, they are the most dangerous people in the world.
Terrible mountains and tsunami.
Lu Shu grew up in the grasslands and was proficient in Mongolian. Not to mention Yang Woyan and other Han slaves. If he doesn't learn Mongolian, how can he wait for the old Mongolian men to learn Chinese?
Immediately you can hear them singing:
"Charge into the battle, risk your life, seize the people and camps, and sacrifice them to the Great Khan Temujin!"
"Attack foreigners, conquer the people, capture beautiful women and war horses, and sacrifice them to the great Khan Temujin!"
"When hunting cunning beasts, chase the cunning beasts for the Great Khan to shoot! When hunting wild bears, chase the wild bears for the Great Khan to shoot!"
"When I was hunting a mountain deer, I vowed to drive it to exhaustion for the sake of the Great Khan. I vowed to drive it to death for the sake of the Great Khan!"
This desolate and majestic melody was the song that many Mongolian tribal leaders sang together when Genghis Khan was proclaimed the Great Khan. It represented the entire grassland's complete surrender to an unprecedented outstanding figure.
To this day, this melody and lyrics are still firmly remembered by people. Such singing represents their identity. There is no doubt that they are the troops directly under the Golden Family and the powerful arm of Genghis Khan in the grassland!
Everyone on the pier collapsed on the ground, no longer having the strength to stand up and reorganize their defenses.
If only the subordinates of thousands of households in the eastern part of the grassland came, everyone might be able to think about the chance of survival. But now, with so many troops surrounding Usha Castle, even the elite of the Golden Family have arrived. This is necessary.
How much do you hate the people in Usha Castle? Why is there any need to persist?
Lu Wusi looked at their devastated expressions, and a look of sympathy flashed across his face.
Lu Shu didn't care. He stared at the gradually tidy military formation and nodded: "It's quite similar to what I learned..."
Lu Wusi agreed: "You do have a skill. This is a soldier who has put in a lot of effort to train!"
The strongest point of the Mongolian army has always been cavalry and archery. But the reason why the Mongolian army has traveled far and far away from the Hu army in the past dynasties is not only based on cavalry and archery, but also their habit of quickly accepting new things. In the past twenty years, the Mongolians
Continuously draw useful experience and advanced equipment from the war, and constantly enrich ourselves.
Many senior officers in the army of the Zhou Dynasty still remember the experience of following the famous Jin Dynasty general Wan Yanxiang into the grasslands, plowing the courtyards and sweeping holes. The Mongols at that time were indeed fierce, and the weapons on hand were not even comparable to the yellow-headed Jurchens in the Northeast.
On the other hand, their use was not standardized. Sometimes when they were about to shoot at each other, they took out the three-foot-long sheep's horn bows. Sometimes when facing the iron pagoda of the Jin Kingdom, they expected to use light lanceol arrows to break through the armor.
But after just a few years, the Mongolian army completely changed. They were equipped with different types of bows and arrows for different combat needs, equipped with iron knives and iron guns that could cause huge damage at close range, and formed a human
An outstanding tactic that combines the strengths of weapons.
This change never stops.
After they acquired a large number of craftsmen in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, they immediately equipped them with military equipment for siegeing cities and fortified fortresses, and greatly improved the quality of their weapons and armor. After they conquered the Xia Kingdom and opened up the Western Region Passage, they began to introduce a large number of formidable troops into the army.
The Uer people quickly improved their legal and logistical support.
After the Mongolian army invaded the Western Regions and other places in Heding, the army continued to be filled with heavy cavalry riding camels and wearing chainmail. At the same time, Belgutai who stayed behind in the grassland, in view of the Mongolian cavalry in Heding Navy,
In many battles, he could not gain the upper hand, so he began to learn the tactics of the Central Plains. In just a few years, he trained horse infantry who could fight in formation. At this time, he was so powerful that he was difficult to fight on the battlefield.
Shaken backbone!
Such a nation that seems to be born specifically for conquest is really terrifying.
Even if Genghis Khan himself has left the grassland, his subordinates are not waiting. As the core force, the Golden Family is still improving its own strength and constantly adapting to new opponents.
Lu Shu felt a little emotional.
"Not necessarily." Lu Wusi shook his head: "Probably the only one who really thinks about maintaining the power of the Mongolian army is Belgutai."
"Then why are all the tribesmen on the grassland generally willing to cooperate with Yeliyasi, but not happy to see the Gouluo farm fall into the hands of Belgutai?"
Having said this, Lu Shu himself figured it out. He patted his forehead and said, "Yeliyasi was one of the first Mongolian nayans to follow Mu Huali and manage the Han Dynasty. He is very smart, and he is a little bit like us.
There was a tacit understanding that his mind was not on fighting. Therefore, the benefits of the market passed through his hands and were exchanged for various luxuries and necessary supplies on the grassland, which were shared by many Qianhu Nayan in his line.
But Belgutai..."
"Beelgutai did try his best to ensure the power of the Mongols. However, after the Mongolian army's coercion failed, Genghis Khan dispatched the main force to the west. Belgutai wanted to reorganize a decent army, whether it was selecting men, building equipment, or even training
To rectify the situation, blood must be drawn from each ministry, and the resources consumed are even greater. Since the grassland tribes cannot go south to plunder, it is difficult to meet his needs, and they are becoming more and more tired of his various orders."
"Beelgutai is the leader of the Golden Family who was ordered to stay behind, but his status in the Golden Family alone does not guarantee his control over the grassland tribes. In this case, he can only seize the land controlled by Yeli Yasi.
Trying to grasp the benefits from the source to maintain his power. So after he seized the market, he was quite polite to the Han merchants. I burned a warehouse under the order of the defense envoy, and actually forced him to submit...
"
Lu Shu clapped his hands and said, "Yes, because what he wants is not a robbery or a one-time deal. He wants to cooperate with us and use the benefits he earns from us to influence thousands of households in the grassland.
The Nayans. And then through the support of the Qianhu Nayans, he will build the army he hopes to be able to fight in formation with us on the battlefield."
"It's a pity..."
"It's a pity that the Qianhu Nayans on the grassland may not understand his painstaking efforts. And he himself may not have really thought about his intentions clearly, because his intentions cannot be announced to his mouth at all."
"He is the younger brother of Genghis Khan, but not the heir of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan is his elder brother and the king of the Mongols. He gave Belgutai the authority to maintain the grassland situation, but he may not be happy to see Belgutai use this authority without restrictions.
There are so many tribes of thousands of households, and they are not happy to see Belgutai's power expand, so that the majesty of Genghis Khan returns. In this way, many things will happen, and Belgutai summons thousands of households.
We have discussed it a hundred times, but we still can’t implement it.”
"So, it's not enough for Belgudai to seize the market. He needs to prove that his idea is right. At least, prove that the army built according to his idea can play a role in the war... This is it.
Already."
Lu Shu and Lu Wusi both turned their heads and looked out.
Outside Usha Castle, as all three armies showed their figures, the power of the Mongols on the grassland was once again revealed. Whether it was the Mongolian cavalry, the Western Region cavalry, or the military formation composed of Mongols, in front of them, thousands of people
Don't block it, any enemy who dares to fight will undoubtedly be crushed to death.
Compared with such a force, the few people in Wusha Castle are not even as good as ants, and they can only feel their own insignificance and patheticness. Under the power of this organized army, Wusha Castle is still the same Wusha Castle that fell back then.
Even more fragile than before, much more fragile.
When Lu Shu and Lu Wusi were talking to each other, Yang Woyan knelt on one knee in front of them, looking at Lu Shu and Lu Wusi for a while.
He had some knowledge to begin with. He had been living in the grasslands for the past few years, and he had a better understanding of the situation in the grasslands. He had some personal experience, so listening to the two people's exchanges, he actually analyzed the matter very closely.
To put it simply, it is
People on the grassland were scattered, but Belgutai wanted to buck the trend and gather strength again.
"But... why are they here? What are these Western Region cavalry and Belgutai's men doing in Usha Castle?"
Having said this, Yang Woyan gritted his teeth: "Young Master, Judge Lu, are they coming for you? The Mongolian cavalry surrounding the city have dispersed now, and I don't know when they will come back. You have to think
You should leave quickly, there is no need to stay here!"
"It's better to stay here."
Behind Yang Woyan, Aduo stepped up the wooden ladder and said blankly: "You can see clearly from here."
Yang Woyan was going crazy: "What are you looking at? What on earth are you looking at? Young Master, you just said that those who have just died will die, and those who deserve to kneel should kneel... Could it be that you are talking about us?"
Lu Shu patted Yang Woyan on the back to make him feel more relaxed. At this moment, the rain of arrows from the Mongols stopped, and everyone no longer held up their shields and could straighten up and see further.
"I am an empty-headed prince, what is it worth? Those thousands of households in the eastern part of the grassland may be coming for me, and that also has to take into account the attraction of the herds of cattle, sheep and horses in the fort. But those cavalry from the Western Regions were previously in Yuanyang
When they arrived in the Hopol area, they fought fiercely with the six thousand Mongolian families who had surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty earlier, and then chased them all the way here. As for Belgutai's headquarters, they rushed here because they wanted to test themselves against the Mongolian traitors.
The combat effectiveness of the newly trained elite soldiers will also intimidate the cavalry in the Western Region and the various units in the eastern steppe."
"So, where are those six thousand households in Mongolia? Will they come to save us?" Yang Woyan asked in a trembling voice.
"How powerful are the six thousand households in Mongolia? They...haha, they are just bait."
Lu Shu chuckled twice, then asked A Duo: "Have you found it?"
A Duo took out a shrinkable and elongated tube from his arms and handed it to Lu Shu: "Look further north... The children brought a big guy this time, but I don't know who had a bad idea and painted it blue.
Colorful paint. The color was so similar to the sky that I couldn’t tell the difference at the moment and I searched for it for a long time.”
Lu Shu closed one eye, pressed the other eye against the tube, and looked at it for a long time.
He was under tremendous pressure these days, and was extremely nervous day and night. He lost a lot of weight, and his face always looked serious. Suddenly, he smiled happily, as if he had turned into a child again, and there was nothing worth worrying about anymore.
: "Come, come, my brother-in-law is here."
"Brother-in-law? Which brother-in-law?"
Yang Woyan didn't react for a while, but then he was overjoyed: "It's the Emperor of Great Zhou who is here!"
