Chapter 85 Going Home 1
As the sun was setting, at the southern foot of the Yin Mountain, beside an unknown water stream, countless cavalrymen in leather armor or leather clothes were filling their water bladders with clean water.Fill it with water, press the upper mouth, shake it, shake it, and then pull out the plug, the cold ice water will become white and cool milk.

What can make this miraculous effect is a kind of "artifact" that grassland soldiers must carry-milk powder!
Milk powder, He people used to use it, but now they don’t use it very much, and Iron Man and Jin Ren still use it to this day.Milk powder is easy to make, turn milk into powder, and it can be carried for a long time without deterioration. As long as there is water, pour some milk powder into the sheepskin sac, mix it with water, stir it, and you can drink it. Add dried meat and cheese, basically go Eat wherever you go.You can even run long distances while eating!
Bite down a mouthful of dry and hard jerky, and sip a mouthful of cold milk, the cold milk moistens the dry and hard jerky, the dog slave flattened his mouth, and there was an expression of enjoyment on his dirty, bumpy face, nourishing his big yellow teeth , Hehe silly music.

Gou Nu is a ten cavalry commander of the Zhelan tribe, a small character, and there are so many people under his command, he wants to be a Wu Shi commander in the Zhagu army.He was the first one to fetch water. After fetching water, he had to leave the main force and go out to serve as a sentinel.

The main force is resting, what should I do if there is no one on guard?
"Warriors, let's go!"

The dog slave greeted, and the eight cavalry moved when they heard the news, and left with the dog slave.

Among the eight people under Gou Nu, three were his slaves, and the other five were his subjects. There were nine riders in a row, and only Gou Nu was in armor.

Why is the iron man's armor rate not as good as that of the river man?There are the following aspects:

Of course, the factors of the Zaku Empire are excluded.

First: Iron Man has too many troops. The Iron Man’s Headquarters belong to the Qixue Army, Tiger Guard Heavy Infantry Army, Leopard Guard Heavy Cavalry Army, Eagle Guard Light Cavalry Army, and Wanqi under the kings. A Qixue Army is called With 20 riders, one can imagine how many Iron Man's army is!

However, the children of the grassland are all soldiers. It is normal to have a large army of iron men, but no matter how you say it, it will not be more than the Zaku Empire.

No matter how you count the army of the Zaku Empire, it exceeds 100 million.

Second: technology!The raw material of iron armor is iron, which is obtained from iron ore and smelted at high temperature.Iron man can't do it, their craftsmanship is not enough!Even the craftsmen plundered from various countries can only complete the armor of the Iron Man Headquarters, mainly leather armor.

On the other hand, the people of the river, who were taught by the empire and learned by themselves through all means, have much better armor-making skills than the iron man, and even better than the empire in some aspects, such as the "cold forging armor" made by the artisans of the grassland army.

There are good craftsmen and good materials to be milked, so the grassland army has a [-]% armor rate. Up to now, leather armor, chain mail armor, long hood armor, fish scale armor, and louver armor can all be independently produced.Even making advanced armor such as infantry armor and cavalry armor is only a little difficult, not to mention that the elite cavalry of the grassland army do not wear cavalry armor.

While eating and drinking, he looked around to see if it was safe, and after 10 miles away, there was still no trace of invincibility, the dog slave's heart gradually relaxed.

"Master, it's getting dark."

The servant reminded me that the dog slave had just noticed the setting sun that was about to set.

Before dark, the torches were lit, and each person rode one by one. In the vast and dark grassland, there was a faint light.

Just walking around, the dog slave's half-closed eyes suddenly widened!
"Extinguish the torches!"

It was too late and then too soon, just as the dog slave extinguished the torch and rode his horse to flee, he heard the sound of falling into his body and the sound of falling, the moonlight was shining, the dog slave looked back, and a black shadow came from the place where he was just now. rushed over.

"Drive! Drive!"

The dog slave guessed what it was, and hurriedly whipped his horse and fled, and an arrow flew over, piercing his leather armor, which was as tattered as it could be, piercing through his chest, and fell to the horse with his mouth whimpering.

Zhang Cai put down the recurve bow with a cold expression.

【Damn it, haven't I exercised for a long time?Archery has not improved at all! 】

"General, there are reconnaissance cavalry from Zhelan's side here, so the front must be the main force of Zhelan's army!"

Ye Lixiao didn't ask Tuoba Liwu this time, and said coldly: "Kill it!"

Zhang Cai stopped him and said, "General, should we avoid contact with the enemy's cavalry after killing them?"

"Huh?" Ye Lixiao didn't understand, but Tuoba Liwu, Molotovsky and other generals all gave Zhang Cai their approval.

Zhang Cai has improved.

"Our soldiers are already very tired!"

Ye Lixiao came to his senses and looked left and right. As Zhang Cai said, there was a tired look on the pawn's face. Even if he didn't light a torch, Ye Lixiao could see it.

Ye Li and Xiao Moran.

Since the appearance of the Zhelan cavalry that day, Ye Lixiao was very afraid. Zhang Cai asked how powerful the Zhelan cavalry was, and Ye Lixiao replied that the Zhelan cavalry was a group of lunatics with poor equipment but fearless in battle!
Ye Lixiao called Tuoba Liwu over for a discussion. After Tuoba Liwu learned about the Zhelan cavalry, the veteran's expression immediately changed, and he began to use his brain to find how to avoid it.

Zhang Cai then took the opportunity to suggest: "Since the Zhelan cavalry is dangerous, why not deal with it!"

"Huh?!" Tuoba Liwu looked at Zhang Cai in surprise.

Zhang Cai had no vision and Li Xiao gave encouraging eyes, and then said: "The Zhelan cavalry is fierce. I think they are strong troops that must win the battle and attack. The other army thinks that our army is under the command of the general and can easily win. There must be contempt." The heart is bound to underestimate the enemy! Our army can take advantage of his state of mind to do the opposite, surprise the main force of the Zhelan army, defeat it, and seize its food and grass. It not only eliminates hidden dangers, but also solves our army's urgent needs."

"You want the warriors to attack the main force of the Zhelan cavalry? I heard right!" Tuoba Liwu said in surprise.

Zhang Cai said: "The enemy will definitely think that our army is only trying to escape at this moment, so how can they fight back?"

Tuoba Liwu seems to be persuaded by Zhang Cai.
"As long as the Zhelan cavalry is defeated, the warriors will have time to rest." Ye Lixiao said.

No more nonsense, Tuoba Liwu took the lead again, and more than 3000 grassland army cavalry launched an assault on the main force of the Zhelan army.

Needless to say, the next battle will be in the direction of the flames!Tuoba Li Wuyang took the lead, wielding his long sword like a scythe of death. All the soldiers raised their swords and guns, and immediately opened their bows.Just as Zhang Cai expected, Zhelan's army was careless, and Zhelan's bald bone Tuo didn't expect Ye Lixiao to fight back while being chased, and the establishment was caught off guard.Although the Zhelan soldiers were brave and organized spontaneously to launch a countercharge against the soldiers of the grassland army without fear of death, they all turned into ghosts under the horse's hooves without exception.

Zhelan's bald bone tuo didn't want his face to be swollen, and he felt that he had 1 cavalry, and I had the advantage.

As long as the officers and soldiers are restored, everything will be fine!
So Zhelan Baldgutuo hurriedly resumed the organizational system, but how could Tuoba Liwu do what he wished?Command the troops of the headquarters to charge and kill the gathered Zhelan soldiers. Every battle must be won, killing hundreds of enemies.The Zhelan soldiers were scattered in the sand, and they were constantly damaged by the grassland army's assaults, and they trampled on each other because of their random walking in the dark, causing countless casualties.

Ye Lixiao broke through the formation, raised the Youlang Wujin Spear again, and personally led the army to charge again, preventing Zhelan's cavalry from returning to Guijian.After repeating this three times, Zhelan's soldiers, who were not afraid of death, directly lost [-]% of them, and finally they were on the verge of collapse.Zhelan's bald bone tuo saw that he directly led Na Ke'er, holding the king's flag, and charged straight at Ye Lixiao, Ye Lixiao also commanded Na Ke'er to hedge without fear, the two horses crossed, and there was a burst of chopping sound of knives and axes. Fang's cavalry all fell off their horses, and Ye Lixiao failed to kill Zhelan's bald bone lump.

Zhang Cai knew well that the soldiers were too tired to fight for a long time, so he saw the white eagle king flag of Zhelan tribe flying by in the team, and quickly took out the god star arrow and shot an arrow at the flag officer.

"King Zhelan is dead!!!"

Zhang Cai let out a shout, and Molotovsky immediately understood and asked his soldiers to shout "Zhelan bald bone Tuo confers the head", the last straw that crushed the camel fell, and Zhelan's army collapsed and scattered in all directions.

Zhelan's bald bone tuo dare not fight, so he immediately retreated to gather his troops.

Despite the victory, the Prairie Army still lost more than 400 people.Ye Lixiao had no spare time to hunt down these defeated soldiers, search for supplies temporarily, take some more horses, and disappear into the night with the army cavalry.

I don't know how far I ran, and I stopped to rest after making sure there were no pursuers.

Counting again, a hundred riders were lost in the night, and now there are only more than 3300 people left.

The loss of the grassland army is not small.
------------

On the grassland far away from Yelixiao, the lights are like stars.After the defeat, Zhelan sat on the grass with a bald face and a grim expression. The horsewhip in his hand had already been pinched with many fingernail marks, and a large amount of flammable and explosive gas was stored in his heaving chest.

When footsteps came, Zhelan bald bone raised his head angrily and shouted loudly: "Aries Micloak, are you here to see my joke?!"

Aries Micloak, the Aries King in the Iron Man Empire.

"King Zhelan's words are too unfair, I don't mean to be a joke." Aries Micloak also responded loudly, and walked in front of Zhelan's bald lump: "Today's defeat is because you are too light, bro. It’s moving. After all, Ye Lixiao is a eagle shooter. How can he solve it so easily? Judging from the current situation, Ye Lixiao has gone far south, and it is estimated that he will reach the Yellow River. But don’t worry, brother, Ye Li Xiao will meet the Wanqi of King Loufan and King Chelin at noon tomorrow at the latest, and I have released a golden eagle to send a message to the two kings, and it is impossible for the 2 knights in broad daylight to miss again."

Zhelan's bald bone Tuo said bitterly: "This little wolf cub, you really underestimated him! He must not be allowed to go back alive, he must be killed!"

"How come you set off overnight and still surround yourself with King Lou Fan and King Che Lin!" Bai Yang Mi cloak said.

"Exactly what I want!"

Zhelan bald bone tuo ignored the defeat of the soldiers and horses, so he teamed up with Aries Micloak and went south to pursue.
