Chapter 17 Desert Ambition Seven: Guo Tiancai's Determination
At the beginning, the sound of "crackling" muskets came from the dense forest, which made Elinqin's heart constantly suck.
Tight, but with the special shouts of killing from the Flat Map Warehouses, he slowly calmed down - the Tuvas Warehouses, the Matts Warehouses are also good at the jungle. Although they do not have a large number of firearms, bows and arrows are also powerful weapons against the enemy, after all, they are faster than firearms.
Not long after, injured cavalry retreated from the jungle in groups. After asking, most of them were "thieves".
The arms are fierce and incompetent," and so on.
E Linqin immediately thought that these were all words of slander. No matter how fierce the firearm is, it is not as fast as the bow and arrow.
Most people are timid and afraid of trouble. He secretly asked someone to remember these people and will definitely be severely punished after the war is over!
So he was leisurely blocking there with five hundred cavalry at the easternmost end of the jungle, and his mood was not affected by the wounded soldiers until Madir appeared.
Madir is a small chief of the Matt Safari tribe in the Sayan Mountains between the Kizil Valley and the Abakan Grasslands in the north. He is brave and good at fighting. He is even more brave in the mountains and forests. Elinqin married his sister as the first-ranked concubine (the legitimate concubine is naturally from the Huite tribe), and also gave him the largest grassland Tulan grassland north of the Yenisei River, which made Madir cry.
With this grassland, Madir unified the Mat people in the Sayan Mountains in a few years. Now he has about two thousand households under his command, with strong combat power and overall combat power ranks first in the Tangnu Wulianghai controlled by Elinqin.
Even Madir was defeated!
Now Elinqin's face became serious. Madir was known as the "eagle of Sayan Mountain" and was a famous hunter among the Matt people. He once subdued the wild leopards climbing the snow-capped mountains on the Sayan Mountains and crossed the cliffs like walking on flat ground. He was definitely not a timid person!
Madir's thigh was injured. When he saw Elinqin, he was still muttering to himself.
"How is it possible? How is it possible?"
The Mats are actually a mixed race between the Tuvas and the Turks, and their language is mainly Turkic. Of course, there are also a large number of Mongolian and Soren vocabulary mixed.
He had a high nose and deep eyes, a beard, a huge hooked nose, a thin figure, and a thick headscarf. If Nikan were here, he would have said shockedly: "Afghan!"
E Linqin didn't care about this much. He grabbed Madir's collar, "What's going on?"
He has been stationed in Kizil for a long time, so he naturally has some Turkic words. He just interrogated in Turkic words.
"Taiji, after entering the jungle, we were afraid of being attacked by the thieves, so according to the usual tactics of the Matts, some of them climbed up trees, and some of them appeared openly in the clearings of the woods to attract the thieves. The rest were all hiding behind the big tree."
"In the past, such tactics used to deal with the Tuva people on the mountain, and the beggars were invincible. Unexpectedly, they were defeated this time."
"The thief army is from a small team, about six or seven people. One of them carries a big shield in front, one of them holds a long sword in his side, and one behind him, followed by a gunman holding a musket, an archer, and at the end there is a big shield and a long swordman holding a long swordman."
"They had no intention of hiding their whereabouts, and they appeared openly in the clearings in the forest. They seemed to be very proficient in fighting in the forest. The archers were facing directly in front and the gunners were facing above, and the ones were guarding against us who were waiting for the trees."
"Their muskets seem to be loading very fast, and they can fire a gun soon. The people hiding in the tree were a little careless at first, and they all started to say, and finally they had to all come down from the tree, but they were still no match for them."
"Their team can fight the enemy in front, back, left and right. They still have multiple combinations of long swords, muskets, bows and arrows. The teams can still cooperate with each other. Although we are good at fighting in the forest, we still lack cooperation..."
E Linqin felt a little nervous when she heard this. As a Russian-style group, who has been on the front line of the Russians, she is naturally not unfamiliar with firearms. "A musket that can fire quickly?"
He immediately thought of the Ottoman gun that had appeared in the Khanate of Bukhara Khan at this time. Of course, this was actually the Franchise gun in the mouth of Daming, that is, the mother-child gun. After firing one sub-blaster and pressing another sub-blaster, he could continue to fire as long as he was loaded with the induced medicine, and the speed was naturally much faster than that of ordinary muskets.
Why did the Ottoman Empire have a large number of firearms at this time?
It’s not that they have the same talent as the Ming and Western barbarians, but that they include the Turks in Asia Minor and the Arabs in North Africa. They are currently the largest pirate group in the Mediterranean, often plundering the British, French, Spanish, and Portuguese who traveled to and from the European continent and the Asia Minor Peninsula, and captured a large number of white slaves, including a large number of craftsmen.
With these craftsmen, the Ottoman Empire gradually had a large number of firearms, and invented weapons like the "Rumi Gun", and passed them to Virat and Tohwait through Persia and Bukhara.
"rumble……"
E Linqin was thinking, and at this time, a large sound of horse hooves came from the east end. According to this movement, there were definitely many cavalrymen coming. Looking at the shadowy mountains on the east end, E Linqin was a little scared.
"withdraw!"
When E Linqin was halfway through, she was constantly attacked by lead bullets shot from the woods on both sides. When he rushed out of this dense forest to death, there were less than a thousand people following him!
...
Behind him, the original mountain map tile man, Khan Batur, saw that Elinqin had already rushed out of the jungle, and couldn't help but slow down his pace.
Batuer couldn't help feeling a little proud.
In the past, when I heard about "Elinqin of Kizil", whether it was the Tuwa people in the river valley or the Tuwa people in the mountain, they were all trembling. How could I think he was as embarrassed as he is today?
Batur followed by 1,500 cavalrymen, who were all the elites of the Mount Watsons on the east bank of Kusugur Lake.
In the dense forest, near the west of Harthule, a large group of people gathered together and nervously observed the movements of E Linqin and his party.
When it was completely dark, three people gathered together to talk. The man in the middle was the leader of the three thousand tiger cavalry in the Ulan-Ude area, Guo Tiancai, a native of Chongqing!
Even Guo Tiancai himself did not expect that he, a southerner, first came to Liaodong to fight against Jiannu, then fled to North Korea, and finally crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to the north of the desert that he had never dared to imagine before. He also took on the heavy responsibility of training the Khan to specialize in mountain and jungle combat.
In the past, Su Wu just shepherded sheep near the lake, but he did not do it himself, but he actually led his troops to fight.
Is it true that I am in a time? I can’t say it correctly.
After learning that the Hetuoweite tribe had once again invaded, Guo Tiancai, who was in Ulan-Ude, immediately made arrangements. He drew 5,000 tribal cavalry from the nearby tribes Shrkut, Bahur and Zalbu, and guarded various places.
He only left five hundred tiger cavalry in the port of Kurtuk on the southwest shore of Lake Baikal, and five hundred cavalry in Hathule, the southern end of Lake Kusugur. The remaining two thousand cavalry were all concentrated by him and lie in the jungle near Hathule.
Night has completely fallen.
Elinqin near Harthule suddenly felt the unforgettable chill.
In the Kizil area, the temperature in winter is lower than that in Kusugur Lake, and he should have been accustomed to it for a long time. However, with the generals of the night, the black forests on the surrounding white snow were like monsters that were fond of, which made Elinqin's heart feel chill.
Now he is in a dilemma.
Retreat. Needless to say, you will be harassed by the hateful barbarian of Soren. I am not familiar with this place, and if I am not careful, I will be in danger of being wiped out.
Keep surrounding Harthule. I don’t know how many troops the Sauron Barbarians have. If you take a step later, you may face a greater crisis.
That night, E Linqin was tossing and turning. At this time, dawn should be one hour. Finally, when he was about to go to bed due to sleepiness, the cannons on the top of Harthule's city fired.
So, the whole camp became turbulent and boiling. After the daytime jungle war, E Linqin's men were still scared, and most of them fell asleep in anxiety. When they heard the sound, everyone got up.
The artillery fired several rounds and stopped, but at this time, everyone, including Elinqin, could not sleep anymore. They simply waited for the day and prepared to withdraw from here after dawn to return to the familiar prairie.
But the bandit army did not seem to show any further action, and the cavalry of Elinqin had to hold a scimitar and snuggle in the tent to take a nap.
"boom……"
"boom……"
"boom……"
At the hour before dawn officially arrived, the cannons on the city wall blasted every half an hour. Although the shells caused little damage to the Elinqin camp, the "psychological trauma" caused was quite considerable.
As the sky was just bright, E Linqin had no intention of preparing food. She fed the war horses and prepared to retreat.
Starting south from Harthule, the road is along the wide road along the Ejin River. If the cavalry rushes quickly, they can reach Mulun in one day.
However, there is a mountain pass about sixty miles from Harthule. Both sides of the pass are densely forested mountains. At this time, it is called Manghan Mountain. E Linqin and others are working all the way. When they arrive at Manghan Mountain, the horse power has reached its limit. With the persuasion of left and right, E Linqin had to let the brigade stop and prepare to take a break here, cut open the thick ice of E Jin River and feed the horses some water.
"Bang……"
Just as most of the cavalry of Elinqin got off their horses and were chiseling ice, a dense sound of muskets suddenly came from both sides of the mountain pass!
When E Linqin and others panicked and stepped on the war horses and were about to gallop south, a large group of cavalry rushed towards the road to the south. Judging from the outfits, they were mostly real Soren barbarians.
The cavalry also ran from behind, but the costumes were probably the damn mountain map tiles.
"what to do?"
In an instant, E Linqin had an IQ online. At this time, he did not turn around and kill the Tuva people who seemed to be better at dealing with it, but ran directly to the barbarian thief who blocked the way!
The one blocking the way was the thousand tiger cavalry led by Guo Tiancai.
To this day, Hanhai Kingdom, which has three major bases, Chita, Hulun and Boli, still has no way to match all the tiger cavalry under its command with equipment like Guo Tiancai's army - all the dazzling configurations of Franchise guns, iron armor, half-body leather armor, and double cavalry swords.
Guo Tiancai looked at the messy horse team rushing towards him coldly.
“Hulala…”
With a series of copper whistles, a thousand Franchise guns pointed diagonally into the sky.
"Bang……"
With a heart-pounding sound, the tiger rider, all equipped with double-knight swords, emerged from the smoke of gunpowder.
At this time, if you are more careful, you will find that the four hooves of Guo Tiancai's thousand cavalry were equipped with nail condoms. Even if the enemy rushed to the surface of the Ejin River in a panic, they were not afraid.
The rain of bullets fell from the sky cut off the Elinqin's selection of the front, making the entire selection of the storm team appear sparse. However, the veteran of the 300 Soren, who has the strongest cavalry ability, maintained a dense formation and cut into the thin storm formation.
