Chapter 1077 The saddle and stirrup made great achievements and defeated Dongyi. I am named Houyi after Dayi
"This is... there are practitioners in the great merchant army." Hou Yi gritted his teeth and said this conclusion bitterly.

At this time, the Dashang Bow Riders finally entered the shooting range, and they all raised their bows and set their arrows. They stepped on the stirrups, their buttocks were slightly raised, completely suspended in the air, and did not touch the saddle. Stable and not affected by the ups and downs of the horse's back.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The nightmare of Dongyi cavalry archers began again. They fell into the dilemma that they could only be shot by others, but they could not shoot their opponents.

Dongyi cavalry archers knew that if they fought hard with bows and arrows, they would die in vain. They pulled out their sabers and approached the enemy at a faster speed, intending to rely on riding skills for melee combat.

Unexpectedly, this fulfilled the wish of the Shang army. They were amateurs in riding and shooting. What they were better at was picking the opponent off the horse with the long spear in their hands.

As a result, the big merchant archers also put their long bows on their backs one after another, and took off the long spears that were placed on the saddle.

As soon as the cavalry from both sides approached, all the Dongyi people were surprised again. The cavalry of the Shang Dynasty were able to control the horse without their hands, and they could freely perform various offensive and defensive movements on horseback.

This kind of miraculous riding is probably not even possible for the Inu Rong who "grow up on horseback", and because their hands are free, what they hold in their hands is no longer the same bronze sword as before, but Changge.

Amidst the dust, the corpses of Dongyi cavalry archers on the ground gradually increased. Many of them failed to get close to each other, and watched helplessly as the opponent stabbed Chang Ge into their chest seven feet away.

At this time, the Dongyi people finally realized clearly that the combat effectiveness of the merchant army in front of them was no longer what it used to be, far superior to their own.

Seeing that the elite was about to be lost, and morale plummeted again, Hou Yi reluctantly ordered the withdrawal of the army. This battle caused the main force of the coalition army to lose soldiers and generals, and the elite was lost. It is really frustrating.

Huang Feihu would not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately led the whole army to pursue. The merchant army pursued for more than ten miles, and captured countless supplies and equipment. However, due to the speed of Dongyi's horses, most of the main force escaped.

It was the first time since the Great Merchants army had won such a hearty victory against Dongyi, and their morale was immediately boosted. disease.

King Zhou, who led the Chinese army and arrived after hearing the news, was immediately delighted and rewarded the meritorious soldiers. The merchant army was stationed in Kancheng, Dongyuan that night. What surprised Jiang Huanchu was that Jiang Wenhuan, his son who commanded the rear army, But nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Huanchu, who had been searching for his son everywhere but failed, had just entered King Zhou's central army tent, when he saw a scout horse enter the tent and report: "Report to Your Majesty, Marshal Jiang of the rear army has sent a good news signal."

Jiang Huanchu was quite surprised. Isn't his son in charge of escorting supplies and receiving work? Why is there a "good news" suddenly at this moment?
Hearing the spies' next report, Jiang Huanchu's face changed again and again, and his gaze towards King Zhou became more and more awed.

It turned out that King Zhou let Huang Feihu lead the front army to advance slowly with great momentum, and fought the Dongyi army in Dongyuan. Attack the temporary camps of the Dongyi ethnic groups stationed in the rear.

This is exactly the raid tactic used by Huo Qubing, the famous general of the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Jiang Wenhuan really lived up to King Zhou's expectations, destroyed Dongyi's camp in one fell swoop, and captured a large number of relatives and supplies of Dongyi's royal families. hand, Dongyi is within reach.

When Huang Feihu, Zhang Guifang and others heard that the surprise attack was successful, they all beamed with joy, admiring King Zhou's conspiracy.

That night, King Zhou had a big banquet to celebrate his victory, and at the same time expressed his heartfelt thanks to Kong Xuan and others for their help. It can be said that without Kong Xuan and others, the battle with Dongyi would not have been so smooth.

This can be called a brilliant victory, Kong Xuan Dayi and Fu Xi can be said to account for [-]% of the credit, although the others did not contribute much in this battle, but he believes that there will be time for them to play a role in the future.

There is nothing to say about the next battle. With the help of Kong Xuan and others, the Shang army is almost cheating. With Fuxi's innate gossip defense, it is like a tortoise shell covering the Shang army camp at any time, and they can only fight others by themselves. , Others can't beat themselves at all.

How can such a battle be fought?Later, Hou Yi released the three fierce beasts that he had subdued, the Snake, the Chisel Tooth, and the Gale, but Dayi killed them one by one with an arrow. Killing mortals is not enough, but killing these beasts not only does not damage the merit, but accumulates merit. .

As time went by, the merchant army had more and more crossbows, and gradually equipped a large number of crossbowmen. The Dongyi tribes who were originally proficient in archery were suddenly ravaged in what they were best at.

Hou Yi and Heng'e couldn't do it, and King Zhou said that if he didn't surrender, he would execute his captured relatives, so he had to surrender with his whole family. They knew that the Shang army was no longer what it used to be, and it was no longer what it used to be. He could only watch helplessly as he looted.

The big merchant commanded the tent, Hou Yi and Chang'e were bound with their hands, and were escorted into the tent by the big merchant sergeants.

At this moment in the big tent, King Zhou was sitting in command, Kong Xuan and others stood or sat around King Zhou, Huang Feihu, Jiang Huanchu and others separated on both sides, they did not dare to be as casual as Kong Xuan and others.

Seeing that the two were taken into the account, everyone turned their attention to the two. Heng'e, as a woman, assumed the role of King Youhu, but she was only in her early twenties.

She has beautiful facial features, a slender figure, and is well-proportioned. Although her skin is not as fair as that of the big business woman, it is as smooth as satin, and she has a rare wild beauty.

Heng'e did not avoid King Zhou's aggressive gaze, but instead observed the long-known emperor of the empire.

Although she is in the remote eastern border, she has always attached great importance to learning the advanced cultural knowledge of the great merchants, especially the Confucianism promoted by the current great king Di Xin, which made her very impressed. She had long wanted to see the demeanor of this virtuous king, but I didn't expect to meet in this situation.

Is the legendary virtuous and unparalleled king of wisdom the handsome man in front of you?I didn't expect him to be so young. It's a pity that the two sides are enemies and not friends, and both sides are surprised by each other's youth.

King Zhou was looking at the beautiful woman, but Kong Xuan and the others set their sights on Hou Yi, and then all turned to look at Dayi.

Dayi had already stood up at this time, walked up to Houyi, and asked with a half-smile, "Your name is Houyi?"

Although Hou Yi was a prisoner at this time, he was still full of arrogance. He tilted his head slightly and said, "If you don't change your name or your surname, I will be Hou Yi."

Dayi nodded, and asked again: "Why did you name yourself Houyi? I heard you didn't call yourself by that name before."

Hou Yi glanced at Dayi, and said proudly: "I, Dongyi, is a descendant of Jiuli, and I have the blood of the Wu clan. I heard that there was a great witch named Dayi in the Wu clan. With a bow and arrow in his hand, he shot nine suns down. Known as the number one archery master in the wild."

"Coincidentally, I am also the number one sharpshooter in Dongyi today. Although I don't have the ability to shoot the sun, I can shoot fierce beasts with arrows. Therefore, I think I am named Houyi after I consider myself a big Yi. Why not?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone in the tent burst into laughter, and Dayi himself couldn't stop laughing, which annoyed Hou Yi, and shouted angrily: "What do you mean? Don't you look down on my Wu tribe archers? How dare you compete with me in archery?"

King Zhou laughed a few more times, waved his hand at Hou Yi and said, "It's not that you look down on the archery skills of the witch clan, but because you keep saying that you are the queen of the big Yi, but you don't know that the big witch you admire is standing in front of you. "

"What? You...you are..." Hou Yi's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he looked at Dayi in disbelief, and even Heng'e did the same.

Dayi smiled slightly, turned his hand over, and the Pangu bow appeared in his hand, and said with a smile, "It was this bow that shot down Nine Suns in your mouth. Of course, the three beasts you summoned also died under this bow. ? Do you want to compete with me in archery?"

"Uh...this...this..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing Hou Yi's incomparably respectful expression full of bewilderment, everyone laughed again, and then King Zhou waved his hands and ordered his subordinates to untie Hou Yi and Chang'e.

Hou Yi immediately bowed down to Dayi and begged him to accept him as a disciple. Dayi did not agree, but told him about the general trend of the heavenly law, and let him understand the reason why the Wu clan was abandoned by the heavenly law.

After Hou Yi listened to Dayi's words, he completely dissipated his thoughts on leading Dongyi to become the king and hegemony. Besides, he himself is now a prisoner, so where is there any chance of being the king and hegemony?
If Dayi wasn't there today, I'm afraid it would be hard for me to survive, that's all, under the law of heaven, we are just ants after all!

After Dayi and Houyi Chang'e had discussed the general trend of the world, King Zhou asked in harmony, "King Houyi, King Chang'e, are you willing to lead the Dongyi tribe to submit to my great merchant?"

Houyi's attitude was very clear, so King Zhou's eyes were actually on Heng'e.

Hang'e let out a long sigh, and said, "God does not bless me, Dongyi, Hang'e has nothing to say."

King Zhou shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "The queen's sentence 'God does not bless Dongyi' is really bad, I ask you first, if I put down Dongyi, how does the queen think I will treat the Dongyi tribes? "

"Dongyi has been the enemy of the Great Merchant for generations. If the Great King really wins, the people of our clan will definitely become the slaves of the Great Merchant..." Heng'e thought for a while and gave a reasonable answer, although this was something she did not understand. willing to face.

King Zhou shook his head solemnly, and said: "The queen's words are very wrong. Could it be that the queen doesn't know that slavery has already been abolished by the widow? I will ask you again, why the Dongyi have repeatedly invaded our Dashang border for generations?"

Hearing this, Heng'e smiled wryly and said: "I am located in the frontier of Dongyi. Although it is close to the sea and has a vast territory, it is a barren land. It is extremely desolate. The lives of all ethnic groups are difficult, and countless people have died of starvation, illness, and death."

"The invasion of the country by troops is due to years of enmity and suspicion of ambition. The main reason is to plunder food and cloth. Our family is good at action but not good at defense. We also have self-knowledge. We have always only robbed materials and dared not occupy cities."

King Zhou nodded, his eyes flashed brightly, he leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If you are willing to teach and transform the border areas, relieve the sufferings of all ethnic groups, and make Dongyi's life prosperous, so what?"

Heng'e trembled all over, her beautiful eyes widened, and even Hou Yi looked at King Zhou in astonishment.
