Chapter 281 Dajiaoping (Part 2)
Ba Chiman knew in his heart that this time he was working for the demon sect and could not bring it to light. As Yi Xifeng said, this is the Western Region, not the demon country. Even though the Demon Sect has a great reputation in the world, it is still not the king of the countries in the Western Region.
In the land of the Western Region, which is also often referred to as the land of ten thousand gold, there is only one true heaven, which is the Holy War Hall.
This group of sectarian organizations composed of Semu people has its own belief system. Its absolute leader, the Holy War Pope, is also recognized as one of the eight great saints in the world. He has many believers in the entire Western Region and even the endless wilderness further west. Its influence is no less than that of Taoism and Buddhism in the Central Plains.
If Loulan City was not adjacent to the Black Castle and very close to the border of the Demon Kingdom, and the countries in the Western Region were not concentrated, and the strategic depth was extremely narrow, the Holy War Hall would have no time to take care of the situation here. If it weren't for this reason, it would never have been their turn to be the vanguard of the Eight Red Barbarians.
"Today we are waiting for a battle with the Loulan City Guards in Dajiaoping. We should show our true skills! Avenge our shame!" Bachiman sat on the horse, drew out the scimitar in his hand, and frantically fought among the troops. Wander around to boost the morale of these horse thieves.
Before the war, as a qualified leader, this is what you must do. As early as half an hour ago, he received a report from a spy that Loulan City had sent city guards to this side.
Dajiaoping is only thirty miles away from Loulan City. Even if there is wind and sand blocking it, it is only half an hour's journey. Calculating the time, the other party is still almost there, but I don’t know if City Lord Xiao is coming?
The Demon Cult expert had previously ordered that if Xiao Yuanfeng could not be attracted, the entire Bachi Barbarian Tribe might be buried with him. The bald man felt very uneasy and hesitant. He was not even sure that even if they had fulfilled their promise to lure Xiao Yuanfeng over as agreed, they had successfully eaten most of the elite city guards. Will Qianyuan, who is full of evil behavior, abide by the agreement?
It is unwise to try to be moral with the horse thieves, and it is even more unwise to try to do business with the demon sect.
Bachiman vaguely guessed the ending in his heart. He finally understood that the second master would make such a promise. He even vaguely felt that if Dalamt really led people to betray him, it would be a good thing. At least he would leave a branch for the tribe. .
Watching a group of figures slowly emerge from behind the dunes in the distance, they were wearing exquisite armor and holding standard spears in their hands. Behind them were hundreds of iron riders holding standard Mo Dao.
Those are the city guards of Loulan City! But in terms of equipment, the city guards had a considerable advantage. In terms of numbers, they were evenly matched, with four to five hundred people on each side.
Bachiman touched his bald head. He knew that he could not decide many things by himself. He was just a chess piece, even an abandoned piece. This time, he is not a chess player, so he naturally has no right to choose, but letting him give up like this and acquiesce in his fate is obviously not in line with the style of a horse thief.
This group of horse thieves from the Western Regions endured the harshest environment and rushed to lick their blood. If we talk about the number of times we have been in desperate situations, not to mention the city guards in front of us, even if we add up the entire population of Loulan City, they are not as many as the scenes these horse thieves have seen.
Although they don't have very sophisticated weapons, they most certainly lack the spirit of fighting for their lives. They are the lone wolves and weeds of the Western Region. Even in desperate situations, never give up! Or be silent and die in the cold winter! Or grow wild and wild in the spring breeze!
…
Without any pre-war communication, the Bachiman's pre-war mobilization even became somewhat redundant. This group of horse thieves may be vulgar and even mercenary, but their prediction and perception of danger are like wild beasts!
When one horse moves, a thousand horses move! Facing the Mo Dao and the spear, a sharp scimitar from the Western Regions was struck in the air. It looked like it was practiced in vain under the sun, adding to the wind and sand!
Yi Xifeng and others followed Xiao Yuanfeng and stood on a high slope behind the city guards. Dajiaoping was a plain, but there were no high sand dunes around it. This high slope was a rare strategic location.
Everyone watched as the horse thieves stirring up the sand continued to attack the city guard's formation, and rain of arrows poured in like raindrops. Although this group of well-equipped city guards were well prepared and raised their shields to defend, there were still gaps between the shield walls, and some casualties still occurred after several rounds.
There were also casualties on the horse thieves side. Although this group of horse thieves had amazing equestrian skills and they all earned their living on horseback, after all, it was a collective charge of hundreds of people. It was inevitable that they would directly run into the spear array prepared by the city guards. Immediately, many horse thieves were dressed as "string gourds."
Once casualties occur between the two warring parties, the gap in military quality between the two sides will immediately be seen. There was an obvious sluggishness in the battle formation of the city guards. Looking at the soldiers holding spears, they all looked serious and acted stiffly. On the other hand, those horse thieves who were used to seeing life and death were even more violent in their attacks!
"I've heard before that the horse thieves in the Western Regions are invincible in the wild. Today I saw that the reputation is well-deserved." Lin Fenghuo said with some emotion.
When everyone around him heard this, he nodded, even in front of Xiao Yuanfeng.
City Lord Xiao frowned and looked at the battle situation below, and sighed: "The city guards are all good citizens, so there is no need to say anything about the discipline of the battle formation. It's just that for many years, every battle has been protected by the city wall, and they rarely go out to fight. .Compared to this group of horse thieves..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but look back at Dalamt, who was standing behind Yi Xifeng, and then said: "The combat quality is far from that."
Yi Xifeng heard this and then added: "The total number of the two sides fighting this time is only a thousand people. It is normal for the horse thieves to have the advantage. But if the number of people is three times more, they will be evenly matched. If the number of people exceeds ten thousand, the city guards will The army will win!"
Hearing what he said, Xiao Yuanfeng's frown eased a little. The horse thieves are indeed extremely capable in small-scale combat, but once their number reaches 10,000, the strength of the well-disciplined city guards will inevitably increase dramatically.
The military is not afraid of low experience or low quality. As long as you have strict discipline and survive several fierce battles, you will have a strong army!
The battle between the two sides did not last long. In just half a cup of tea, the Bachi Man tribe took the initiative to break away. The advantage of cavalry is always mobility. Speed is destructive.
"City Master Xiao, the horse thieves are preparing to launch the second round. Do you want to change the formation?" Wu Li asked with some seriousness as he looked at the nearly a hundred corpses lying on Dajiao Ping.
Xiao Yuanfeng squinted his eyes. From an angle that Wu Li couldn't see, a layer of silver aura had already gathered in his eyes. Faintly, he saw traces of scarlet aura floating up from the bodies of the dead. , and then converge and merge into the land under Dajiaoping. If he hadn't already reached the realm of chivalrous mastery and already had some understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, it would be easy to overlook such subtleties.
"The Demon Cult, what a vicious handiwork!" Only then did Xiao Yuanfeng finally confirm the information provided by Yi Xifeng.
