Jinyi Night Walk

The hooves sounded like thunder, echoing in the valley.Chinese website

A scout from the Ming army came galloping on horseback, hissing loudly: "There is an ambush! There is an ambush!"

He didn't need to shout anymore, everyone saw that behind him, a group of cavalry cavalry swarmed like locusts. When the scout saw his team, he let out his breath, and suddenly his body softened and he fell on the horse's back. , On his back, more than ten sharp arrows have been shot.

The Ming army in a circular formation in front made way for the horse to come in. Before the scout dismounted, several soldiers rushed up to catch him.

"It's over!" Jinyi posted a sketch

A school lieutenant only saw the injury on his back, and said sadly.

Feng Liyan sat on the horse, took off his hard bow, set up a spiked arrow that could penetrate three layers of heavy armor, and shot up with a pair of big eyes: "Duke, this is the 'swarm of horse thieves' from the Western Regions." !"

The sound fell, the strings rang, a wolf-toothed arrow has been shot away, and the horse thief in the front rushed to the door and the arrow was brought down by the arrow force and fell on his back, while Feng Liyan's second arrow had been shot, this time One arrow shot at his horse, and the arrow hit the horse servant, Feng Lieyan's third arrow flew out again.

Lianzhu arrows, the most brilliant archery skills of Zhebie-level archers on the grassland, Feng Liyan can shoot four arrows in a row, and the four arrows can shoot down two people and two horses. They tripped over many people and caused a blizzard, and the people behind had time to steer their horses to avoid it, and came around from both sides.

Sitting next to him, Xia Xun looked at the horse thieves who were coming, and said in admiration: "The horse thieves are so powerful! This swarm of bees is famous in the Western Regions?"

At this time, the horse bandits had already confronted the forwards of the Ming army, and the horse bandits' ambush soldiers on the mountains on both sides were also rushing down the mountain. The scouts sent up the mountain to explore the road were fighting with them, and then went around to the outer edge of the valley.

Feng Liyan said: "The leader of this 'swarm of bees' is Basa. The Ba family was originally a wealthy family in the Western Regions, one of the largest families in the Shazhou. Later, because they offended the powerful, they have always been domineering in their management, which angered the other big families in the Shazhou. The Shazhou dignitaries and several big aristocratic families teamed up to lose everything. The Ba family was furious, and simply led people to become horse thieves. After more than ten years, the Ba family annexed several powerful horse thieves in the Western Regions. Force that people ignore."

As Feng Liyan said, he glanced at the two sides fighting in front of him. Hearing the clanging sound of weapons, he only raised his hand, but he didn't see the action of pulling the string and bow. The horse bandit head thief who was fighting with the army got an arrow in his heart and got off his horse with a loud cry.

Feng Liyan smiled, and said again: "Basa is a one-eyed man. The general has dealt with him before. His one-eyed dragon was shot by the general. A few years ago, the general went to Hami to perform official duties, and he had a relationship with the people at the foot of Nyainqentanglha Mountain. The big chieftain Sheng Long went with him. The horse bandits of the Ba family hated officials and wealthy gentry the most. They took advantage of their large numbers to rob the general, but the general shot him in the left eye with an arrow and rescued him. A pair of mother and daughter who were kidnapped by him to be the wife of the village. Hehe..."

While speaking, Feng Liyan's hands didn't stop, and he shot five arrows in a row, and the arrows killed people.

Xia Xun sighed that his archery skills were not good, and he was afraid of accidentally hurting his own people. Although his sword skills were good, he dared not let him go forward to fight, so he had to stand there and watch.

Knowing that the other party is a horse thief, it seems that it is for robbery again.Although he and his party were heavily guarded, there was no shortage of vehicles among them. They were both officials and nobles. Horse thieves' ears and eyes could detect the news, so they naturally wanted to make a fortune. Unfortunately, they This time is really unlucky, although there are nearly five thousand horse thieves, how can they compare with the Jingying elite and Ganliang elite cavalry?

Just now when they realized that there was an ambush, Feng Lieyan and Sai Hazhi made the correct judgment. According to the terrain of Taniguchi, Feng Lieyan set up a formation of wild goose feathers to meet the enemy, while Sai Hazhi set up a round formation on the second line of defense. Self-protection, with such a formation, coupled with such excellent soldiers and horses, even if there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, they will not be able to break through this small valley, let alone this group of horse thieves.Baidu Jinyi Night Walk posted the text provided by Huangmen Neipin

If they had noticed something different at the time and retreated immediately, it would have been terrible. Once the three armies retreated, the formation would be in chaos. Break into the camp and start a melee, and the advantage of the army will disappear.

"Duke, the last general will go to the front. Since they dare to come, if they don't kill him, they will inevitably weaken me Xiliang... weaken my Daming prestige!"

Xia Xun nodded slightly: "General, be careful!"

Feng Liyan shook the reins, drew his saber and rushed forward.

The Ba family used to be a big tycoon in the Shazhou, and a family that wants to establish a foothold in a place like the Shazhou must have private soldiers, especially according to Feng Liyan's introduction. The strength of force is even more conceivable.It must be known that most of the rich and powerful families are in collusion with each other and are closely related. This Ba family can actually get other families who are also wealthy and powerful families to regard them as thorns in their eyes. One can imagine their character.

But arrogance requires capital. The Ba family at that time must have had an extremely powerful armed force. After they left the sandbar, the Ba family dispersed all their wealth, recruited soldiers and bought horses, and started business without capital. Force was their only reliance. , in this regard, it is natural to spare no effort.Most of the horse thieves in front of them have soft armor, swords and spears, longbows on their backs, and small shields on their saddles. They are more complete than ordinary formal cavalry. No wonder they dare to rob even the army.

Watching for a while, Xia Xun raised his voice and called out: "Sai Hazhi!"

Sai Hazhi, who was paying close attention and on guard, immediately rode his horse and rushed to him. Xia Xun ordered: "Move the formation, retreat!"

Sai Hazhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Duke, we haven't shown our face, don't worry, dude, there is a lowly position, they can't do anything to us!"

Xia Xun pointed to the valley and said, "The terrain in front of us is certainly not conducive to horse thieves' superiority in strength, but once the situation is not good, it is easy for them to escape. Let them out and wipe them out!"

When it came to the end, Xia Xun was already murderous.

When he came to the Western Regions, he wanted to try his best to win the hearts of the tribes in the Western Regions to Da Ming. Even if they temporarily succumbed to Timur's despotic power, it didn't matter. As long as they didn't think that Timur could really invade Daming and gain a firm foothold, then they would They won't be determined to work hard for Tie Mu'er. Whether these local snakes are perfunctory or hard-working, the effect produced is quite different.

To win over these people, of course we must pay equal attention to grace and power.And this kindness is easy to handle, but this prestige is not easy to use casually. At this sensitive moment, if it is used improperly, it will be counterproductive. Is there any better deterrent than annihilating a powerful horse thief that makes the entire Western Regions look sideways?They are actually equivalent to an army, and they are more powerful than many tribes in the Western Regions.

Furthermore, here, neither the orthodox forces nor the good people have a unified belief and a unified sense of national belonging, let alone a group of horse thieves and robbers who have milk and are mothers. They may become his most powerful minions. Not only will they use Timur's forces to harm the people of the Western Regions and make life miserable there, but they will also wholeheartedly seek refuge with Timur, using the skills they are more familiar with than anyone else. The geography of the Western Regions caused greater damage to the Ming army.

Now that there is an opportunity, of course, if you can annihilate it, you will annihilate it!

When Sai Hazhi started to move the rear formation, Feng Liyan also received Xia Xun's instructions, and he immediately used the golden drum to order the soldiers to retreat steadily, in case they were self-defeating and were really disrupted by horse thieves.

The biggest difference between horse thieves and the army is discipline and orders.No matter how strong their individual combat effectiveness is, they are a mob in front of a well-trained army. In the chaotic moment of the battle between the two sides, the army can retreat in an orderly manner according to orders, while the horse bandits attack without any rules.No one among the horse thieves noticed something strange, because as soon as they fought, they found that the combat effectiveness of this Ming army was much stronger than the enemies they had encountered before. They were so numerous that they even lost the wind.

At this time, the opponent chose to retreat, and anyone with a little scheming would know that there was a fraud, but the red-eyed horse thief did not have an effective command system. Their tradition is that the head of the family should charge forward , unarmed.Therefore, some old-fashioned and prudent people can't even find their leaders in time, let alone convey some orders with banners or gongs and drums.

As soon as the Ming army started to retreat, the horse thieves who were fighting fiercely cheered up, screaming and rushing forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.The Ming army retreated to the Three Arrows, and the horse thief chased after the Three Arrows, and began to try to circle around the flanks, forming a cutting attack on the Ming army. At this time, the Ming army who had been retreating heard three short horns. After the sound, he suddenly launched a counterattack, cutting into the team of horse thieves in a cone shape.

The problem is that the horse thieves have no fixed camp, and they have nothing to defend. Their purpose is to attack and plunder. Kill the team of horse thieves quickly, so that they are equivalent to killing the rear of the horse thieves.

Then, the terrible blow began...

Corpses were strewn all over the field. Five thousand horse thieves from the Western Regions kicked the iron plate and were defeated by the most elite team in the world. The horse thieves who survived squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads, not daring to aim randomly. But they listened to the movement with their ears upright, and there was a scream from time to time, which made their hearts tighten.

After a while, there was only the sound of horseshoes, followed by a long hiss, and they stopped not far away: "Report to the Duke, the horse thief escaped less than a hundred riders, and the leader of the thief has already died in battle. This man's name is Batu, and he is the leader of the swarm of thieves, Basa. Brother, here is the head, please check it with the Duke!"

A faint clear voice came later: "Clean the battlefield and take the prisoners away. This head, take it with you, it will be a gift from us to Shazhou!"

"Duke?"

The Western Regions was originally the area ruled by the Northern Yuan Dynasty. There were not a few princes and dukes who were sealed here at the beginning, so these horse thieves knew what the duke meant. They heard that they robbed a duke of the Ming Dynasty this time. This fate is not wronged at all.

They don't hate anyone now, they just hate that bastard in Pan Daoer back then, saying that the Ming army escorted a wealthy gentry to the Western Regions, there were several carts full of gold and silver in the team, and there were beautiful women. His mother's dog eyes, if I can leave alive, I will definitely peel his skin!

At this time, they suddenly heard a woman's voice excitedly saying: "The godfather is so fierce! The godfather is so powerful!"

The few survivors who were gnashing their teeth couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "So there really are women...but... how does this voice sound like a young rooster that just learned to crow, so immature?"
