Riding and Blade: Laughing Wind and Cloud Road

Chapter 10

Jiu Ling'er was kicked out by Muleke who pushed and scolded her, and wandered around the camp by herself with nothing to do, when she suddenly ran into her old uncle Adaku Lumu.

"You savage boy, you are bothering the old marshal again, are you asking for a beating?" The old man yelled and said with a smile on his face, as if he was about to kick him.

Jiu Ling'er dodged quickly, opened her hands in an exaggerated gesture, and said happily: "No, no. Old man, I thought Hu Meng was a big and burly man, but it turned out that he is just like you, old man." He is an uncle who herds sheep."

The old man stretched out his hand and slapped Jiuling'er on the forehead, and said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense. Humeng is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs in the Kusait Khanate. He is very powerful. The marshal valued him very much and often let him lead a team army."

"Oh." Jiu Ling'er suddenly realized.

"The marshal also values ​​me very much! The marshal said that I can also command an army to fight everywhere and win every day." Jiu Ling'er said obsessively looking at the sky.

Seeing his serious and self-absorbed appearance, the old man couldn't bear it anymore.

He raised his leg and kicked, and cursed: "You snow mountain barbarian, I am so mad. I have fought for more than ten or twenty years, and I dare not boast that I can lead an army to fight alone. I will kick you to death." Savage savage."

The two immediately chased after each other.Jiu Ling'er laughed out loud!Shouting while running!
Muleke suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and said with a serious face: "Go and find Hu Meng, I have something to tell him."

After a while, Humeng came out of Mulek's big tent, and immediately rode out of the camp with a team of personal guards and galloped away.

On the second night after the night raid on Nasugi's camp, Muleke took Jiu Ling'er and the others to the prisoner's camp.

Standing in the middle of the clearing, his piercing eyes scanned the crowd.

Said a few words: "Your tribe will not be wiped out, and the tribe will be protected by me, Mulek. The crimes given by Nasu have nothing to do with you. If you stay and join my iron cavalry, you can fight after the battle." Go back. If you don’t want to, leave the head and give my dead soldiers to pay with their lives.”

More than 2000 captives stared at Mulek dazedly, and then whispered in twos and threes.Mulek stared at them all the time and didn't say another word.

It was not long before they all expressed their willingness to stay.Immediately, the old man Adaku Lumu personally led them and merged into Mu Leke's cavalry army.

Another day later, Jiu Ling'er was chatting nonsense with the soldiers in the camp as usual.

But the news that the scouts sent one after another made the atmosphere in the camp instantly tense.

Khan Mengchug's army appeared openly at Wild Dog Creek, about 160 miles away from Yanguai Slope.

The army of Wu Mu Da, the leader of the southern Duanshi tribe, was very fast. He had already arrived at Baimatun, a hundred miles away from Yanguaipo, and about 150 miles away from Mengchug Khan's army.

Boluji and Boluqian from the east and west of the Bolu family have led more than 6000 troops to cross the drowning river quietly and stationed in Pingtan, more than 200 miles away from the Mongolian army.

More than 1 coalition troops of the southern Qusaite Great Burke Uleman have also rushed to the drowning river, and are facing the armies of the eastern and western tribes of the Bolu family across the river.

Clouds of war are all over!

Groups of fast horses galloped in and out of the camp, and the atmosphere before the war quickly spread.

Jiu Ling'er and Uncle Adaku Lumu quickly ran to Muleke's big tent!
Muleke immediately invited several of his powerful generals and commanders, as well as Xiao Wang Cangye and other tribal kings who came to support Muleke, to the big tent.

As before, Jiu Ling'er got Mulek's permission to sit behind him.

Sitting here, he could hear the reasonable predictions of Mulek and the generals on the development of the war situation.

Hear Mulek elaborate on his in-depth analysis and understanding of the battle situation and how to deal with it.

Hear Mueller carefully explain the role of each specific task in the overall situation and its impact on the development of the situation.

You can see how Mulek reasonably arranges different tasks according to the combat styles of different generals.

See Mueller's specifics on each assignment and the scope for flexibility.

See the key points of his reasonable collocation of military power, weapons, food and grass of each army and the tacit cooperation between the various ministries.

Last time, Jiu Ling'er completely swallowed the whole battle situation, because Mulek spoke in a very general and abstract way in many places, so she didn't understand.After careful explanations by the old man and generals such as Heishan Xiong and Tiehutou, he understood a lot.It sounds better today.

Now his thoughts are flowing with Mulek's eloquent narration, as if he saw several large armies criss-crossing among the green mountains and green waters, sometimes lurking, sometimes blocking, sometimes surrounding, and his ears are filled with the sound of fierce fighting and There was the sound of galloping war horses like thunder.

While Jiu Ling'er was still sitting on the ground with her head bowed in thought, thinking carefully about her experience, Mulek had already arranged the tasks of the generals.

"The blocking battle must be fought arduously, and the enticing battle must be disguised skillfully. Uleman and Bo Luji must be dragged into the battlefield. Once the two of them join the battle, it is time for us to encircle Umuda and surround Khan Munchug."

Muleke looked at the generals and said seriously, "Bald wolf and iron fox head who are in charge of luring the enemy, you must do everything possible to keep Mengchug in the dense forest of the snow mountain. Cang Ye, you must achieve the effect of being undefeated, so as to attract Wu Muda to attack in Baimatun without enduring huge losses."

"This battle is related to the future of my entire Kusat Khanate, the rise and fall of the Kusat people. I can't disclose many things, but please believe me, Mulek, everything I have done is worthy of Saiga Khan, my Majesty, I have no selfish intentions towards the Dekuset tribes."

"Okay, stop talking, everyone, let's go immediately."

Several generals knelt down to salute Mulek and said in unison: "Generalissimo, take care."

Mulek helped several people up one by one, "Take care too."

The old man gave Jiu Ling'er a wink, and several of them walked out of the big tent one after another.Jiu Ling'er then followed out.

"Jiu Ling'er, remember what I said?" Uncle Adaku Lumu said to him seriously.

"Stay close to the generalissimo, protect the generalissimo with my life." Jiu Ling'er straightened her chest and shouted loudly in the old man's ear.

The old man cursed loudly: "You are such a savage, what are you doing so loudly, you are deaf."

The Black Mountain Xiong who surrounded them laughed loudly.

"Really? Are you deaf? Let me try again?" Jiu Ling'er pretended to be serious, hugged the old man's head, and opened her mouth to roar loudly.

The old man was shocked, and hurriedly covered Jiu Ling'er's big mouth with his hand, "I heard it, I heard it."

Heishanxiong and the others laughed so hard that tears flowed out.Immediately, Jiu Ling'er hugged the old man's shoulders with both hands, hugged him vigorously, and whispered, "You have to take care."

The old man laughed and nodded emotionally.Jiu Ling'er hugged everyone.Black Mountain Bear, Iron Fox Head, Bald Wolf.

Cang Ye was very grateful when he heard that Jiu Ling'er risked his life to kill Na Suge.Nasugi killed his brother while suppressing their tribal rebellion.Cang Ye solemnly said to Jiu Ling'er what he wanted to say these days, "Thank you for avenging my brother."

Jiu Ling'er smiled innocently at him.

Yanguaipo took away 5000 troops because of Bald Wolf and Tiehutou, and the old man, Heishan Xiong, and Cang Ye took away [-] troops. Now there are only four or five hundred wounded soldiers left, and the whole Yanguaipo suddenly became deserted.

Jiu Ling'er roasted a piece of horse meat and chewed it slowly.These days, they eat horse meat every day, and Jiu Ling'er can't stand it.On the battlefield, when a war horse dies, naturally it cannot be wasted and buried.The Kussets have many ways to use the waste of dead war horses.Horse meat can be eaten, and horse hide can be used for clothing and leather.

Kusset is a nomadic people. Although Urhun Khan forced many tribes to settle down, only the Assassis River Basin on the east bank of Lake Tansis can barely survive. They are very poor, and their production and daily necessities are extremely scarce, so they have to live like their ancestors chasing lush aquatic plants.

It can be said that although domestic animals include cattle and sheep, they can barely support themselves, but as the saying goes: if a family has ten thousand gold, the hairy ones are not counted.Once the drought and floods and pastures disappear, the cattle, sheep and horses will all perish, and the people will have no food. Therefore, their ambition of aggression and expansion has never changed.And the tribal leaders tried their best to incite the tribal people for the sake of power.

"Marshal, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Mulek is enjoying a piece of delicious beef.

Hearing Jiu Linger ask him, he shook his head, gave a wry smile, and said slowly: "Many friends have not been in touch for several years. I don't know if I can come, but there will always be friends."

Say it!He passed the beef to Jiu Ling'er.

Suddenly, short bursts of alarm horns sounded in the camp.

Jiu Ling'er was taken aback and ran out in a hurry.Mulek also came out and looked in the direction indicated by the horn.

Looking at the endless pastures outside the camp, Jiu Ling'er smiled and said, "Marshal, it's not like the army will leave in the morning, and the enemy will come at the door in the afternoon, right?"

Mulek glanced at him casually, "Aren't you afraid?"

Jiu Ling'er shook her head, and grinned at Mulek, "The Marshal is so clever, how could he make such a big mistake. The reinforcements must have arrived."

Mulek couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said with certainty, "Don't be so naive. On the battlefield, we rely on those loyal scouts to spy on the news. Their personal bravery and wit are directly related to the authenticity and quality of the military situation. Accuracy, however, is a human error. It is not impossible for an enemy to suddenly appear near Yanguai Slope at this time."

Mulek waved to the messenger and shouted, "Order everyone to prepare dry food for two days and prepare to retreat."

"Marshal, isn't it true?" Although Jiu Ling'er saw that Mulek really gave the order, she still couldn't believe it.

A scout captain galloped over, "Marshal, a large army appeared five miles away from Yanguaipo, with about [-] cavalry."

"Why did you only find out now?" Mulek asked with some reproach.The scout bowed his head in shame and did not answer.

"Go to explore again. Be careful not to be discovered. We will retreat immediately, and your people will follow." Mulek immediately said in a more relaxed tone.

The scout was so moved that he bowed and saluted on the horse, and rode away.

"Marshal is really kind to his subordinates." Standing beside him, Jiu Ling'er said softly from the bottom of her heart.

Mulek laughed, "Your flattery is really getting better and better."

"Really!" Jiu Ling'er said, "I've been with you for so long, and I've never seen you scolding your subordinates."

"Who do you rely on to fight? Soldiers. It is because of their numerous bones that I, Mulek, have achieved my reputation today. What right do I have to blame them. Without them, I would have been nothing but bones."

Jiu Ling'er listened silently, remembering it in her heart.

"I also want to thank you." Muleke said, looking at Jiu Ling'er, "I always care about my brother who lives and dies with me. In the past, I always thought that sacrificing a small profit to keep a big profit on the battlefield is a matter of course. Now It seems to be wrong. Sometimes, it is better to give up the big profits than to take good care of the brothers who fought together. Only in this way can we keep our faith and people's hearts. You are better than me at this point." Mulek said with emotion.

Mulek made a retreat gesture to a captain who was running over to ask for instructions.

Immediately there was a long retreat horn sounded in the camp.

Jiu Ling'er suddenly saw a huge eagle hovering in the sky.It was obviously the first time that Ying Jiuling'er had seen such a big eagle.He cried out like a child, "Oh! Oh! Oh! Eagle, eagle. Look, Marshal, that eagle is so big."

Muleke couldn't restrain his inner excitement and laughed, "You snow mountain fool, I really convinced you."

He waved again to the messengers in the distance, "Tell them, don't retreat, and prepare to meet the warriors of the Red Eagle Tribe."

"Is it the old man's Eagle tribe?"

"Yes." Mulek said while walking towards the horse,
"There were three tribes in the Eagle Tribe back then. My sworn brother Asugang was the king of the three tribes. Their red eagle cavalry was the most powerful cavalry in Kusait. Back then, Khan led the red eagle cavalry and swept across the prairie."

"What a pity! What a pity!" Mulek lamented again and again.

"Back then, Gerardelke and Munchug broke openly. Gerardek led almost all the warriors of the two tribes in the west and the middle of Bolu to confront Munchug in the Bison Valley. I secretly asked for help from Asugang, and Asugang let his brother Asuban led the Red Eagle Cavalry to assist Geradelk. But because of the sudden defection of Nasuge, Geradelk was defeated." Muleke said lonely: "Geradelke was forced to commit suicide, the warrior of the Bolu family They were all slaughtered. Asuban died in battle, and the Red Eagle cavalry also suffered heavy losses."

"The Generalissimo will be able to take revenge soon." Jiu Ling'er comforted,
"Happiness, kindness and enmity are the proudest things in life, the Generalissimo should be happy." Then he looked at the giant eagle soaring in the sky, and shouted wildly again.

"This giant eagle was raised by Asugang, the king of the Eagle Tribe, for many years. An old friend came in person, and I should pick it up." Muleke greeted Jiu Ling'er.

Jiu Ling'er happily agreed, and ran to help Mu Leke prepare the horse.

"Come on, follow me to pick up my old friend. I was really shocked just now. This old guy is still playing this trick." Mu Leke flew on his horse and ran out of the camp first.

Mulek was riding a red horse, followed by several personal guards.

Jiuling'er rode the BMW rewarded by Muleke and followed closely behind Muleke's horse.After walking for about three miles, I saw an iron horse galloping towards me from a distance.

A huge red giant eagle flag was held high in front of the team.The cavalry team suddenly stopped neatly on the grassland.The instant transformation from movement to stillness left Jiu Ling'er on the horse stunned.Such excellent riding skills and tacit understanding of war horses cannot be trained in a short period of time.From this we can see the powerful combat effectiveness of this iron cavalry, no wonder the commander-in-chief was full of praise for this iron cavalry just now.

Suddenly, a tall black horse galloped out from the banner of the giant eagle.

Muleke raised his hand from a distance and shouted loudly: "Asugang..."

"Hahaha,...the old stubborn donkey of the Bolu family..." The two urged their horses again and again.When they got close, they dismounted almost at the same time and hugged each other tightly.

"In the battle of Bison Valley, Geradelk and I regretted not listening to Big Brother's advice. As a result, the entire army was annihilated and caused huge losses to the Eagle Clan. I, Muleke, am sorry for you. I am sorry for Asuban's death... "

"Old stubborn donkey, it's too outlandish to say that. You and Geradelk are good brothers of my Asu Gang, and we are all for brotherhood. Speaking of which, our Eagle Tribe owes you." Asu Gang took Mulek's hand and said emotionally.

The two walked while talking, and slowly came to the front of the three thousand cavalry.

Someone in the team shouted loudly: "Get off your horse."

With a sound of swishing, all the cavalry had already stood beside the horses, as if they had been standing there all along.

Asugang roared: "Salute to the Generalissimo!" There was another sound, but this time there were more clashing sounds of weapons, but it still couldn't reduce its invincible momentum.

All the soldiers, including Asugang, knelt on one leg to express their loyalty and respect to Mulek.

Mulek's eyes were moist.

Back then, for the sake of brotherhood, he resolutely gave up everything to help Geradelk.Although he was defeated, he won the respect of the entire Kuset for himself, and received the explicit or covert support of thousands of tribes.Therefore, the hearts of the people must not be lost, otherwise the Kusait Khanate will lose its cohesion and lose its strength to compete for the world.

"Marshal, this kid is the little savage in the snow mountain who rescued Shagul??" Asugang interrupted Muleke's meditation, and asked suddenly.

In public, Asugang did not dare to call Mu Leke "old stubborn donkey" casually, but followed everyone to call the generalissimo.

Mulek nodded with a smile, his expression of affection was beyond words, "He is very smart, studious, and honest, but he has a stubborn temperament."

"Hahahaha! Do you like him so much when you see him as if you were young? I heard from Shagul that you have a lot of love for him." Asugang looked at Jiu Ling'er " I heard that his disciple of the old iron hammer, or bought it?"

Mulek laughed, and looked back at Jiu Ling'er who had been staring stupidly at the giant eagle in the sky, "Yes, but is he like when I was young? I was much smarter then than he is now."

As he said that, he exchanged glances with Asugang and the two, and they both laughed.

"Is Shagul alright?"

"Don't worry, that kid enjoys the best treatment from the Red Eagle Tribe."

"Thank you, Big Brother."

"When did the war start?"

"It's coming soon. We can give Wu Mu Da a taste of the red eagle cavalry."

"I don't know if Nasuge escaped to Umuda. If you can't take this opportunity to kill Nasuge, I'm sorry for the dead Geradelk brothers and Asuban, as well as our countless tribal warriors."

Mulek looked at Asugang's darkened face due to the weather, and didn't make a sound.Why didn't he think so.

On the second day, Xiao Wang from various tribes, large and small, led their warriors to Yanguaipo.

Soon more than 8000 cavalry gathered on this pasture, making Yanguai Slope crowded and lively.The dense cowhide tents are arranged in an orderly manner, and from a distance, they look like gray mushrooms growing on a piece of green land.

Friends old and new gathered together, eating horse meat and drinking mare's milk, and chatting with gods from all over the world.

Xiao Wang, the leader of each tribe, gathered in Muleke's big tent, reminiscing about old feelings and discussing the situation of the war.Jiu Ling'er has been staying in the Red Eagle cavalry team.Asugang probably has a relationship with Wu and Wu, and he also likes Jiu Ling'er very much.

Seeing that he loved his giant eagle very much, he was very happy, and ordered his youngest son Tilida to take him to play with the eagle and ride the horse.

Ti Lida is in his 20s, just at the age of youth.He saw that Jiu Ling'er had been watching him play with the eagle with eyes of admiration and admiration, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

"It is a sacred object of our tribe. It can also help us check the enemy's situation when fighting."

Jiu Ling'er was amazed, and liked this giant eagle very much.

"Is there any more in your tribe?"

"This kind of fetish can be met but not sought after. One of them has already caused a sensation in Cusaite. What else? And our tribe will make a fortune. It can be exchanged for tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses gone."

Jiu Ling'er smiled sheepishly.

"Your iron cavalry is majestic, and Kusaite's number one iron cavalry really lives up to its reputation." Jiu Ling'er saw that she had no chance to get close to the giant eagle, so she had nothing to say.

When Tilida heard it, he became even more energetic, and immediately told Jiu Ling'er about the glorious history of the Red Eagle Cavalry.Jiu Ling'er listened intently, interjecting from time to time to ask questions.
