Chapter 549

(we didn't hold our posture on the monthly ticket list. I seem to see the hope of changing posture with Xia Huaniang. Let's push down crazy daoju first, and then Xia Huaniang. Don't avoid eating, OK?)

At the beginning of April, the climate on the grassland was so good that people wanted to roar at the blue sky. The new green had covered the grassland. The horse galloped on the grassland, and the oncoming wind seemed to wash people's mind, especially thorough and refreshing. Standing on the high slope, you can see from a distance. The green grass and the blue sky are at the same place, relaxed and happy.

The white lion walked lazily on the grass, ignoring the fear of the horses behind him. Fang Xie found that the biggest advantage of this mount is not only that it runs faster than the best war horse, but also feels particularly comfortable because of its thick fur. Riding a lion naturally can't install a saddle. If the proud beast wants to, installing a saddle will make it look nondescript.

Six of Fang Xie's most important generals, Chen Mo Shan, Lu Feng Hou, Xia Hou Baichuan, Chen Ding Nan, Liu Xu RI, and Zhuge Wuyan, took five thousand cavalry troops and set out on six routes early in the morning. Fang Xie took ten thousand troops and horses to the north. About thirty thousand people were left in the camp. Almost all of them were newly recruited soldiers in recent months and needed training. Sun Kaidao and several generals stayed behind. Now the total strength of the black flag army is about 70000, an increase of nearly 20000 over the original.

The breeze blew from the opposite side and felt very comfortable on people's cheeks. This is a good time to send troops. On the prairie, even if there is no war, the Mongolian Yuan King's court will hold a large-scale hunting every year almost in April and may. The Mongolian Yuan Khan personally led the team and often rode hundreds of thousands of wolves to choose a place to hunt.

This is the tradition of the Mongolian Yuan people, in order to keep the wolf cavalry fighting.

The black flag army under the Fang Xie army changed from infantry to cavalry in more than half a year. In the past six months, the soldiers have trained very hard. Even though they can't ride the bow horse as skillfully as the wolf, they have at least been familiar with how to use a knife on the horse's back and how to open the bow. Fang Xie never thought that the soldiers of the black flag army would become elite light cavalry in only half a year, which is completely inconsistent with the actual extravagance.

The team marched all the way north, and the nearest target was 1200 miles away.

The northern barbarians poured out from the northernmost part of langru mountain into the grassland and attacked Mengyuan sele banner.

The scale of sele banner is much larger than that of Mandu banner. Not long after the war between Wangting and big snow mountain began, sele tiedu, the leader of sele banner, rushed to big snow mountain with 80000 cavalry, and the number of cavalry left in sele banner is no less than 30000. So when the northern barbarians invaded at first, the people of sele banner didn't feel afraid.

Thirty thousand wolves ride on the grassland. Even if they face 100000 northern barbarians, they will not be defeated. In the initial war, the Mongols always had the advantage. The wolf cavalry of sele banner even regarded the war against the northern barbarians as hunting. Those northern barbarians wearing leather robes and holding stone sticks and wooden sticks are no different from beasts in the eyes of wolf cavalry.

When more than 100000 northern barbarians arrived at sele banner, they were killed by Wolf cavalry in the first war. These northern barbarians were not used to the fighting mode of the big regiment. There was almost no tacit understanding among their tribes, so they were defeated by the border army of the great Sui Dynasty.

The northern barbarians didn't know much about Meng Yuan. In their opinion, the elite frontier army of the great Sui Dynasty was the evil star. As the saying goes, ignorant people are fearless. It is because of their ignorance that these people boldly break into the prairie. They thought it would be smooth sailing. As a result, more than 30000 people were lost in the first war, and the rear team was rushed by rout soldiers before the war began.

But later, more and more northern barbarians entered the grassland, and the wolf cavalry of sele banner felt a headache. Although these northern barbarians didn't know the art of war and tactics, their fighting consciousness was all the experience accumulated from hunting. But the biggest advantage of these people is that they are all soldiers. The northern barbarians who lived in a bad environment. When the boy was over ten years old, he picked up a stone axe and went hunting with his parents to fight with fierce beasts.

Even the northern barbarian women are brave and frightening. They rushed all over the place. Although there was no array to speak of, their savage killing intention was the biggest weapon.

Although the wolf cavalry has never suffered losses, the speed of force consumption is also worrying.

Later, after hundreds of thousands of northern barbarians poured into sele banner, the grassland was like a plague of locusts. The place where the northern barbarians passed can be described as "inch grass is not born". They don't know how to conserve the grassland at all. They will only rob it destructively. If a small tribe is broken, the shepherds will be killed, both men and women. The northern barbarians will distribute the cattle, sheep and horses equally under the leadership of the leader. This living habit is a symbol of uncivilization.

They don't think war horses can't eat.

As long as it is meat, it is a kind of food in their eyes.

The most important point is that women are much higher than men among the northern barbarians. All the hard work in the tribe is done by men, and the choice of affairs is done by the most respected women in the tribe. Unless there are very special circumstances, the leaders of all tribes in Beiman are women.

Men don't feel ashamed to be called by women.

Fang Xie's understanding of the northern barbarians mostly comes from his arrogance. Zhang Kuang was a frontier army in Northern Xinjiang. He once lived in the northern barbarian tribes for several years. After finding out the composition of the northern barbarians, he led the border army of the great Sui Dynasty to kill more than a dozen small tribes of the northern barbarians and kill at least 50000 barbarians in World War I.

Later, after meeting Wanyan Chongde, Fang Xie knew more about the northern barbarians.

The northern barbarians are indeed backward, as can be seen from their main weapon or stone tools. But it was such a group of backward people who forcibly forced the herdsmen of sele banner away from their homes. Of course, if sele tiedu didn't leave with 80000 fine horses, hundreds of thousands of northern barbarians wouldn't worry at all.

By spring, more than one million northern barbarians had settled in sele banner, and then continued to invade the South on a large scale.

Kuytemungo probably never thought that his powerful empire would one day be occupied by such a group of uncivilized barbarians. Yan Yong, the Khan close to northern Liao, would not take care of the disaster suffered by Meng Yuan. He was happy to see such a situation.

These northern barbarians would never have expected that the black flag army would take them as the first training target.

……

……

The northern barbarians who have just captured a small tribe are still extremely excited. They find that the grassland is simply heaven. Because they live in poor and remote places, they don't know much about the outside world. Because of their barbarism and backwardness, even Dongchu businessmen who claim to be able to do business in any corner of the world are unwilling to deal with them. Therefore, the most intuitive impression of the northern barbarians on the outside world is that there are a group of terrible soldiers in the Empire called the great Sui Dynasty.

The border troops of the Sui Dynasty wore thick leather armor, held sharp long horizontal knives, repeated crossbows and arrows, and dazzling arrays. Every time they fought with the Sui people, the northern barbarians didn't taste the taste of victory.

Later, a man who claimed to be the messenger of the gods came to Beiman. With his strong cultivation, the king of Beiman paid special respect to him and obeyed his words. The man showed his amazing magic in front of the northern Barbarian King, which made everyone who met fear and respect.

The northern Barbarian King called this man an envoy.

The envoy of God brought good news to the northern barbarians. He said that there is a grassland like heaven in the West. The people there are very rich. The most important thing is that the people there are very weak. He told the northern Barbarian King that it was too difficult for you to survive next to a powerful empire like the great Sui Dynasty. You must live in another place. If you can climb over the mountains, the rich grassland will be your new home.

The northern Barbarian King almost did not hesitate to order all the tribes to go to war. No, it was a move.

When they got to the grassland, they found that the envoy was right. There are cattle and sheep everywhere. They are so fat. And different from the fierce prey that the northern barbarians have to face every day, those cattle and sheep are simply docile, just like waiting for them to be slaughtered. Moreover, beef and mutton are particularly sweet and fat, which is much more delicious than the wild animals they hunt on weekdays.

This backward nation has never eaten beef and mutton!

The grassland with cattle and sheep is really heaven for them.

In order to stay in heaven, they bled and died. In fact, at the beginning, when the war was not going well, the 30000 wolf cavalry of sele banner made Beiman fear. After seeing the ferocious combat power of wolf riding, the northern Barbarian King once had the heart to retreat. They have never seen an army fighting on horses. They can't deal with it at the same speed as the wind.

But the envoy told them that there were only so many cavalry. As long as they were killed, no one could stop the northern barbarians from becoming the masters of the grassland. He said to the northern Barbarian King, you are the king who rules millions of people. Don't you want to be a grassland man who rules ten times and a hundred times more than your people?

Although the northern barbarians are backward, they have no small desire for power.

With the help of the divine envoy, after dozens of fights, the northern barbarians finally forced the herdsmen of shile banner to migrate, and those weak herdsmen tribes were simply unable to resist the invasion of millions of northern barbarians.

Another small tribe with a population of thousands was slaughtered by the northern barbarians, and liguda, the leader of the northern barbarians, shouted happily. He took 30000 northern barbarians to the South and successfully occupied at least 500 miles of grassland without any resistance along the way. Those herdsmen abandoned their cattle and sheep and fled. It was just like a dream.

"The messenger is the one sent by the gods to guide us to the light."

Liguda exclaimed, "how could we know there was such a heaven without an envoy."

The barbarians under him immediately cheered, and it seemed that their respect for the envoy was stronger than that of the northern Barbarian King. Just as the soldiers cheered, a group of people came in the distance, led by the mysterious man who was made a God by the northern barbarians. Look at his clothes, but it's a typical Central Plains Confucian shirt. It seems that he is about forty years old and his behavior is bookish.

If there are Han people here, you will see that this person must have some origins. Ordinary Han families can't cultivate such a family style.

"Knock on the envoy!"

Led by liguda, all the northern barbarians knelt down and saluted the Han man.

"Get up"

The Han man tidied up his clothes. It seemed that he didn't like the dust falling on his clothes after riding a horse. It seems that although he is no longer young, he is still a handsome man. Unlike others, he had no weapons, no bags, only a book and a pot of wine. It's hanging on the side of the saddle and within reach.

Behind him were about 300 cavalry, wearing black iron armor. When the face armor was pulled down, only their eyes were exposed. They looked particularly fierce. These people were called the servants of the God's envoy by the North barbarian. They followed the God's envoy to the North barbarian at the beginning. The cold smell from these people made the northern barbarians dare not provoke.

"You did a good job. Manwang is also very satisfied with your performance."

The emissary waved his hand and motioned them to get up. Then he said lightly, "leave half of the booty for yourself and send the other half to the Barbarian King."

"Yes!"

Liguda bowed respectfully.

"You can camp here tonight. I have to rush to helimu's team. There are some problems there, and the resistance of the herdsmen is a little strong."

The messenger looked at ricuta and said, "remember, according to what I taught you before, leave someone outside at night. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Liguda nodded vigorously, "I will do as you tell me!"

In his opinion, everything the envoy said was the will of the gods, no doubt.
