Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

These cavalrymen had their horses' hooves wrapped in felt, and they held wooden pieces in their mouths, ensuring they didn't make a sound.

Each of them had a white cloth tied on their left arm to distinguish friend from foe in the dark.

They came for revenge!

They came for wealth and glory!

Even more so, they came for the ambition to achieve great deeds!

"Let's do it!"

Temujin took the piece of wood he had been holding in his mouth all night, spurred his horse to Zhao Shuo's front, and said in a deep voice, "I won't say any unnecessary words. Ashuo, you will be the vanguard in this battle, with Surchatai and Alihai as your vice vanguards. Our rise and fall depend on this! The Ban Zhu River is our witness, we will share fortune and misfortune!"

"Understood!"

Zhao Shuo nodded to Temujin.

Originally, the number one warrior under Temujin's command was Temujin's sworn brother, Wedar. Wedar had already died in the battle in Helan Zhenshatu. Now, Zhao Shuo was the number one warrior in the army. In this decisive battle, he naturally had to be the vanguard!

After Zhao Shuo responded, he put the wooden piece back in his mouth, spurred his warhorse, and arrived at the very front of the formation.

Behind him were the world's most elite and hard-working warhorses and cavalrymen, having traveled six hundred li overnight with only a few dozen casualties. After only a two-quarter hour rest, they regained their spirits, brave and ready to fight.

The days of this cavalry sweeping across the world would begin from this chaotic, pre-dawn hour!

"..."

In the dim light of dawn, five thousand six hundred elite cavalrymen sped forward with minimal sound, like a ferocious beast in the darkness rushing towards a bloody feast.

And Zhao Shuo was this beast's fang!

Five li!

They were getting closer and closer to the mouth of the Zhezheyun Dadu Gorge! In the distance, they could already see a few scattered white felt tents.

These felt tents were exclusively for the grassland sentry horses, located on the outermost perimeter of the military camp. Inside lived the soldiers on night duty, and outside were tethered warhorses, guarding against enemy ambushes.

However, it was clear that after defeating Temujin, Wang Han's army had begun to slack off. It wasn't until the Mongol army had charged to within two hundred paces of these tents and felt the earth tremble that two sentry horses rubbed their sleepy eyes and walked out of their tents.

Swish!

Thump!

The sentry horse on the left had just poked his head out when Zhao Shuo's heavy arrow struck him squarely in the throat, and he fell backward!

Swish!

Swish!

Thump!

Surchatai and Alihai's two heavy arrows were fired almost simultaneously, one hitting the sentry horse on the right in the left arm, and the other hitting the sentry horse on the right directly in the chest. The sentry horse on the right also collapsed to the ground!

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

...

Five sentry horses realized something was wrong and rushed out of their tents.

However, it was already too late!

In the blink of an eye, the Mongol vanguard was only one hundred and twenty paces away from them!

Swish, swish, swish!

Dozens of heavy arrows were fired almost simultaneously, turning these five sentry horses into hedgehogs, their corpses falling to the ground almost at the same time.

Seeing this situation, the remaining twelve sentry horses in the tents knew that they had encountered a heavy enemy assault and dared not charge out recklessly. They lay down and rolled out of the tents, shouting loudly to warn: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

However, they only managed to issue a few short warnings.

In the blink of an eye!

Rumble ~ ~

Five thousand six hundred elite cavalrymen rumbled past, directly trampling these twelve sentry horses rolling on the ground into mincemeat!

To be fair, the performance of these Klie sentry horses was already quite good.

Originally, after Wang Han defeated Temujin, on the vast grasslands, only Wang Han's tribe in the eastern grasslands, the Naiman people in the western grasslands, and the weak Wanggu tribe in the south, as well as the barbarians in the jungle, remained.

Could the Naiman people cross thousands of miles to sneak attack Wang Han? Did the Wanggu tribe have the guts to attack the Klie tribe's royal court with its twenty thousand garrison troops? Or did those barbarians dare to come out of the jungle?

Why wouldn't the sentry horses become complacent?

At the dim and chaotic time of dawn, when humans are at their most tired, their vigilance and response still reached this level, which definitely exceeded most elite troops in the world.

But, not enough!

This was far from enough!

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ send!

Because, what they were facing was the most powerful troop in the world!

Ever since the Uyghur Empire collapsed two hundred years ago, the grasslands had entered a jungle era without any rules or order.

The upper-class Noyans (nobles), if they didn't understand deceit, treachery, conspiracy, deception, and brutal enslavement, would be annexed by other Noyans (nobles), their families destroyed and their clans exterminated.

The lower-class tribesmen, if they weren't strong, powerful, brave, and fierce, wouldn't even be able to protect their wives, children, or even themselves! Women would be arbitrarily snatched away and enjoyed by others, and men would be reduced to slaves!

After two hundred years of evolution, when the children on the grasslands were one year old and couldn't even speak, they were used to being carried on their mothers' backs, fleeing on galloping warhorses. Three-year-old children could already hold the reins in one hand and ride on small horses. By the time they were four or five years old, they could ride horses and use short bows to shoot prey. Without growing up, by the time they were only ten years old, they could already kill enemies without blinking an eye. By the time they were fifteen or sixteen years old, they could grow into qualified warriors! A family with four or five such men could plunder women to be their wives, plunder men to be their slaves, and achieve revival!

Children who couldn't adapt weren't qualified to grow into adulthood!

Men who weren't strong enough could only become the most humble slaves and weren't qualified to leave descendants!

Women who weren't strong enough also couldn't adapt to this cruel and dark world, died early, and also weren't qualified to leave descendants!

More than two hundred years!

More than a dozen generations of natural selection and survival of the fittest!

Now, any grassland woman could draw a bow and kill. Any grassland man was a brave, fierce, skilled horseman and archer, and a warrior who disregarded life!

The strength of Wang Han's Klie tribe was evident.

As for Temujin's Mongol tribe, in terms of average combat strength, it even exceeded other tribes on the grasslands.

For no other reason than that Wang Han's Klie tribe's territory was close to the Jin Dynasty and could obtain a certain amount of supplies through trade and plundering. The Naiman people were close to the Western Liao and could also obtain a certain amount of supplies by relying on trade with the Western Liao.

The Mongol tribe only had trade and plunder with other grassland tribes!

Trade? What did the poor and backward Mongol tribe have besides horses and cattle and sheep? And what other grassland tribes lacked the most was horses and cattle and sheep!

It could be said that if the Mongol tribe couldn't plunder enough wealth, they would have starved to death long ago!

If the Mongol tribe couldn't plunder women from other tribes on a large scale, their race wouldn't be able to continue!

Therefore, the Mongol tribe had the strongest average combat strength on the grasslands!

If Wang Han's Klie tribe was a first-class elite force in the world, then the Mongol tribe was a unique, super-first-class force!

The competition between experts is only for a single line!

What's more, this was a competition between super-first-class and first-class?

Now, Wang Han's army's complacency, which wouldn't be considered complacency in the armies of other countries, and their carelessness, which wouldn't be considered carelessness, had plunged them into an endless abyss in the Mongol army's sneak attack!
