My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 562 Steps Completed
Under the sky, in the wilderness overlooked by the goshawk, groups of horse teams spread out under the vast sky.

Arrows flew like locusts in the sky.

There are nearly 70,000 people on the battlefield, including the ownerless horses running around. At a glance, almost all of them are fighting figures. The horses are galloping, arrows are flying through the air, the screams of people, the sound of galloping hooves, and the harsh sound of weapons clashing. The sounds intertwined with the tragic scenes of the battlefield.

The 20,000 Luotang cavalry were almost scattered across the field, separated by the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry, almost overwhelming each other in the fight.

The strength of the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry is uneven. Most of them were recruited after the capture of the Shizhu tribe. They only experienced the battle against the Luotang tribe. They are a bit weaker than the cavalry who fought in the hands of Tie Fo, but they commanded them. Who is it?
The other side of the world once reached Subotai on the Danube River in the west.

The brutal Mongolian tactics are completely applicable to the Xirong people who are also prairie cavalry.

It wasn't just as simple as changing a name. From the bloody massacre, these former Xirong tribe cavalry gradually became what Subotai wanted.

The other tribes that led them to attack gained combat experience and adapted to the Mongolian tactics of long-distance roundabouts and rushing operations.

Subotai wanted to normalize these tactics and engrav them on these Xirong grassland people, making them a symbol of Mongolia.

After that, the Xizhu tribe in the central grassland was defeated, and the Luotang tribe in the west was also controlled by him. Gradually, more and more prairie cavalry were around him. After several team formations, it was time to become the last force against the grassland. The 20,000 cavalry in the hands of the Iron Buddha initiated the cruel laws advocated by the grassland people.

However, by the time he figured it out, Tie Fo's army had already fallen into the quagmire of defeat.

When the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry turned into several groups and came diagonally from the northeast and southeast, and the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry in the center approached him with an aggressive attitude, he did not hesitate to give the order to fight. The cavalrymen of the Luotang tribe stepped forward with great force, and the dense iron hooves shook the ground, causing large amounts of smoke and dust to sweep into the sky.

Tie Fo was also a grassland man who had been killed. He had fought several battles with Chinese generals over the years, and his skills in commanding troops were much better than before.

However, the strength of the opponent was not just a numerical advantage. Not long after the contact, Tiefo anticipated the failure of this battle.

"Those who are unwilling to surrender, kill their bodies and cut off their heads so that their souls cannot return to heaven——"

Although the barbarian army failed in the Western Expedition this time, it was not his mistake in using his troops. It was entirely the difference in physical fitness that led to the unfavorable outcome of the battle.

Not long after the war started, King Liu Geng of Tiele Kingdom had just returned from Yelan Kingdom for only two days. He was busy announcing Su Chen's will, and he was also busy taking off the title of king and organizing the affairs of Tiele Kingdom into a book. , and handed it over to the Great Protector of the Western Region Protectorate that was later established.

However, when I heard that the other party was a Xia general who had been transferred to Xirong Grassland by the Emperor of Shangbang, I was suddenly a little stunned. I didn't understand how the Xia Emperor's general could intercept and kill Tie Buddha.

Under the arrows that crisscrossed the sky, a vast group of Mongolian cavalry spread across the field, constantly changing their formations, slowly operating with tactics of detours, running attacks, and back and forth. Under Subotai's immediate command, they avoided the real situation and took advantage of the weak, and the battlefield was completely destroyed. Expanding to dozens of miles, slowly lengthening the battle line of the Luotang cavalry, looking for weaknesses.

Hearing that Iron Buddha in the southeast was blocked by the enemy, he hurriedly mobilized his only 12,000 men and rushed to the battlefield. While rushing there, he sent scouts to find out who the enemy was.

After the reorganization, the Xirong cavalry was renamed the Mongolian cavalry by Subotai. After explaining his combat methods and requirements to the tribal leaders, he led his troops westward. Southeast of Tiele, at the junction with the grassland, The Tiefo of the Kuantanbu tribe intercepted the return reinforcements and made a threatening gesture to the opponent.

Survival of the fittest!

Gradually the balance on the battlefield tilted towards the Mongolian cavalry.

To the southeast, 40,000 Xirong cavalry, who had gradually become proficient in Mongolian warfare and adapted to high-intensity intermittent combat, forced the troops to retreat and charged into Tie Fo's main formation.

Subotai's command on the battlefield, to a large extent, allowed these Xirong people who had just become Mongolian cavalry to experience the pleasure of how to easily defeat a prairie cavalry with the same equipment.

Following Subotai's orders, they continued to divide and defeat a Zhilutan cavalry group. The latter was also beaten by various extremely fast reaction tactics, and was beaten in a hurry. These renamed Mongolian cavalry became ruthless after being successfully defeated.

Even if the compatriot in front of you is beaten and loses his armor and runs away in panic, you still have to chase him down and stab him in the back.

After the rout was formed, Subotai issued an unknown number of orders and asked a small number of cavalry to drive them away.

The cavalry of the Luotang tribe, which originally fled in all directions, quickly lost the chance to escape and were driven towards Tie Fo's main formation.

Under the sky, the broken troops attacked the formation, and the Mongols rode around and fired.

King Liu Geng, who came to the battlefield, stood on the edge of the battlefield and stared at the scene in the distance with his mouth open. The rising Mongolian cavalry was like a sea wave that washed away the rocks and swept in the 5,000-strong Kuantan cavalry formation.

Huge chaotic sounds of horse hooves and screams swept over——

The iron Buddha galloped on his horse, waving his blade, and fought among the crowd. The shouts of pursuit were getting closer and closer behind him.

When he looked back, he saw a horse galloping out of the crowd. It was the commander of the Mongolian cavalry. His honest but ferocious face was covered with blood and minced meat. He fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. As his horse galloped, he waved his hand. Scimitar, speaking Mongolian that he couldn't understand.

"Your head will be a sacrifice to the wolf and the white deer!"

Iron Buddha also gritted his teeth and shouted. He held the blade, turned his horse around, rushed towards the opponent, and struck out with a knife in the head!

Across the field of vision, war horses crisscrossed each other. Subotai stepped on his horse and leapt into the air, his cloak flying. The moment he brushed it away, there was a vague howl of wolves behind him.

Woo!
The phantom of a wolf looking up to the sky and roaring was reflected in the eyes of Iron Buddha. A shudder suddenly appeared in his body, and then, the blade in his hand flew into the air with a 'pop' sound.

Face to face, the scimitar slashed down angrily!

puff!
Human heads rose into the sky, trailing streaks of blood. The Iron Buddha, who had followed Xia's army for a long time, finally followed in the footsteps of corpses chasing father and son.

His head flipped and fell in the sky, but Subotai caught it out of thin air, held it in his hands and raised it above his head, letting out a roar towards the surroundings.

"Xirong Lunta will die from today, and Mongolia will rise!"

The chaos of the fighting gradually subsided, and countless figures who were chasing and being chased looked here. The cavalrymen of the Luotang tribe who were still resisting dropped their weapons, dismounted and knelt on the ground.

At the end of November, the last Xirong cavalry commander disappeared, the Xirong grassland completely surrendered, and the name was changed to the Mongolian grassland.

After the battle in the southeast of Tiele Country, the news was delivered to the Yelan Country at the foot of the Snowy Mountains as quickly as possible. Su Chen, who had stayed here for more than a month, threw the news away after reading the information sent. Go aside and continue to complete the regulations of the Western Region Protectorate together with Hou Junji and Ge Shuhan who came over.

Things here should be settled properly before returning.

By this time, all the three moves made by the Western Region were completed.
