The so-called artifact is the waterproof mobile phone bag that Huang Yi always hangs around his neck.
This product is surrounded by a ring of glow sticks, making it particularly eye-catching in total darkness.
Huang Yi was going to tie the waterproof bag of his mobile phone to the back of Hedanbaat'er's helmet. No matter how dark it was, the soldiers following Hedanbaatar could not lose their direction.
After all the men in the Hedanbaat'er tribe who were able to mount their horses and fight were assembled, Huang Yi appeared holding a helmet with a waterproof mobile phone bag tied to the back.
He announced loudly that the gods would bless Hedanbaatar, and the tribe would grow like a snowball starting from tonight.
Then he asked Hedan Battle to put on his helmet, asked the soldiers with torches to extinguish the torches, and asked Huang Dazhi and Huang Daquan to put out all the bonfires.
There is no moon tonight, it is cloudy, there are only a few stars in the sky, and visibility is very low.
The confused Hedanbaater was pulled by Huang Yi and turned around, only to hear waves of exclamations coming from behind him.
The grassland tribes originally liked shiny things, and some profiteers even exchanged a glass ball for a herdsman's cow.
What else can a thing that can emit light at night be if it's not an artifact?
That Hedanbaatar obtained such an artifact is enough to show that the gods have blessed him.
So all the knights shouted: "Night attack, night attack, with the blessing of the gods, we will not lose our way."
"Destroy the Bayan'er tribe and add a woman!"
"I want to grab at least two!"
"I want leather armor! I want tea! Cotton cloth!"
"I want flour, snow-white, snow-white flour!"
"I want slaves, the more the better."
what's up? Hedanbatel, who didn't know what was going on, was not stupid, so he guessed that there was something on the helmet.
He took off his helmet and saw the circle of fluorescence. He was in disbelief at first, and then he was overjoyed.
He is a sensible person and certainly knows what to do next.
At this time, Hedanbaatar was seen brandishing his sword and shouting wildly: "Blessed by the gods, we are invincible!..." over and over again.
Then all the string controllers in the tribe shouted: "Blessed by the gods, we are invincible!..."
Shouting slogans is the easiest way to brainwash people. These knights shouted as if they were possessed by the gods of war. At this time, they were extremely eager to kill.
Hedanbaatar, who was also extremely excited by his own slogans, roared: "All warriors, follow me!"
No one hesitated and roared like wild beasts.
Spiritual power is powerful, and it is even better in ignorant and backward places.
This can be seen in the fact that some young men were deceived by a magician and thought they were invulnerable, and then charged with a sword in their arms and were shot.
Huang Yi is not a magic weapon, nor does he disdain to be one, but his waterproof mobile phone bag is unique in this era, and it is well deserved to be called an "artifact".
Not only the knights in the tribe thought it was amazing when they saw it, but even Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong wanted to worship it.
Hedanbaat'er, who felt that he was blessed by the gods, ignored him. He made a desperate move and dispatched all the men in the clan who could ride horses and pulled up all the war horses and pack horses.
His order was simple. Everyone must gather ten miles away from the Bayan'er tribe's camp to change their war horses. Then all the young men would follow him to kill the Bayan'er tribe.
Of course, Huang Yi could not let this leader be easily lost in the battle. Not only did he accompany him as a vanguard, but he also emphasized that Hedanbaatar must put on the newly acquired iron armor over his leather armor before changing horses and charging.
Hedanbaatar obeyed.
What should I do if it’s hard to tell the enemy from ourselves at night? Huang Yi asked all the attack personnel to tie a coarse cloth strip to their left arm.
Fortunately, Mongolians eat meat and drink milk regularly, and very few suffer from night blindness. Fishermen who regularly eat fish are also less likely to suffer from night blindness.
The same cannot be said for the Han people who were not close to the sea in the Ming Dynasty. Most of them had night blindness, and the generals basically did not dare to launch night attacks.
In order to strictly prevent "camp howling", the night management of the military camp is extremely strict, and any loud noise will be punished by military law.
Because most of the soldiers are night blind, maybe a soldier had a nightmare and shouted at night, and the soldiers around him who couldn't see him would shout out of fear...
Once the "camp roar" occurs, thousands or tens of thousands of troops can kill each other all night, until the sky is full.
Hedanbaatar rushed to the front in every battle and gained the trust of his tribe.
Many young men aged 13 or 14 and old men in their 50s or 60s also tied strips of cloth on their arms and asked to participate in the battle.
Their strength may not allow them to participate in mounted battles, but they can participate in intercepting cattle, sheep, and horses to prevent them from getting lost.
Hedanbaatar knew that tonight's battle was related to life and death, and the more people involved, the better. He roughly divided all the people into two echelons.
It turned out that this risky night attack was too timely.
Because just tonight, Bayan'er also launched an agitation, scheduled to launch at noon tomorrow, when he would attack the migrating Hedanbaat'er tribe.
So tonight the young men of the Bayan'er tribe eat and drink enough to sleep in order to build up enough strength to fight and plunder tomorrow!
But they never expected that the weak Hedanbaat'er tribe would dare to take the initiative to attack, and it would be an extremely difficult night attack.
When the sound of horse hooves "rumbling…" woke up the Bayaner warriors from their sweet dreams, at least half of them did not have time to put on their armor, and some even ran barefoot to grab the horses.
Hedanbaat'er was experienced and led the first echelon of young men to attack. The primary goal was to capture and control Bayan'er's horses.
Without horses, the Mongols' combat effectiveness dropped by 70%. If they didn't even have time to wear armor, they would be lambs to be slaughtered.
Huang Yi charged with Hedan Battle. He had no ability to control a horse and shoot with a crossbow at the same time. With his riding skills, he could not even wield an engineer shovel to chop with one hand while riding a horse.
It's better to hide a mistake than to be clever. Huang Yi and Hedanbaat'er only charged to the horse pen area of Bayan'er tribe, jumped off their horses and picked up the crossbow. They just happened to find a figure without a strip of cloth on their arms rushing towards them.
At this time, Huang Yi had a clear mind. He knew that a war was going on at this moment. This was the first war he had participated in. Danger could occur at any time. The safest way was to make the enemy dead.
He pulled the trigger, "Whoosh! Puff..." The sound shadow fell to the ground and twitched continuously.
Huang Yi, who was carrying out a sneak attack with a crossbow, was calm and composed. He completed the winding in a moment and warned:
"Dazhi, Dayong, you two had better hide behind me and don't rush forward rashly."
Huang Dazhi said: "Master, I will help you pick up the crossbow arrows."
"Don't go, it's probably all penetrated, and you won't be able to pull it out for a while. Just remember the position."
Huang Dayong said: "Master, the little one is wearing cotton armor. He may not die if he is shot. The little one should go ahead."
Huang Dazhi said: "The little one is also wearing cotton armor. The little one will go and pull back the crossbow arrow."
"Don't show off, obey orders and follow me."
To be honest, I only spent a few days with Huang Dazhi and others, and the relationship has not been established. The concern is just Huang Yi's conditioned reflex, maybe it is the habitual care given by the elders to the young man.
Hedanbaat'er dispatched all the men in the clan who could ride horses, excluding slaves such as Huang Dayong and Huang Dazhi.
Because the Han slaves here are not human at all, they are equal to cattle and horses.
But Huang Dayong followed Huang Yi with four unanimous demands.
War is no joke, people will die. Originally, Huang Yi didn't want to bring four teenagers with no defense.
But then I thought about it, did Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and other adopted sons have any protection when they followed Zhang Xianzhong to rob homes and houses?
Maybe there were dozens or hundreds of adopted sons who followed Zhang Xianzhong, and the only ones who survived in the end were the famous Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang.
Without the baptism of blood and fire, how could a famous general be born?
Famous generals must also meet a basic condition, that is, great fortune.
If Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong die as soon as they enter the battlefield, it is enough to show that they are not the material. They should die early and be born early to prevent Huang Yi from wasting time and feelings.
