Chapter 330 [Invasion of China, Part 1]
Sang Wazi jumped down from the war horse with a loud shout, and just jumped twice and climbed up a Hu Yang tree. The arrows in his hand were like rain, and each arrow shot a hundred feet away. With the sound of whining through the air, the enemy with a short green collar was nailed to the ground.
This is a rare five-stone strong bow. There are only a few people in the Qin army who can pull such strong bows, but in Sang Wazi's hands, he lifted the heavy weight easily. He pulled the thick bow string of his thumb made of silk, as simple as pulling a thread.
Every arrow he shot was the right one, and he shot it with the bandits' minds. In a blink of an eye, the bandits lost their leader. The Qin army soldiers and the Bai family spirits in the rear were excited and rushed over. After a round of charge, they dispersed the bandits. These bandits were originally cruel characters, and they wanted to rely on the large number of people to support them. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the bowstrings. Someone shouted, and finally completely collapsed. They fought their lives to escape into the sea of grass ahead.
"No need to chase after me!"
Sang Wazi jumped off the poplar tree and whistled. His war horse ran over and caught the master, rode his horse to Sun Bin, and laughed and said, "Mr. Sun, what do you think? I said, how do you need to deal with these thieves on the grasslands of the Western Regions? Sang Wazi can clean them up alone!"
"Sang Wazi is indeed a contemporary swordsman, and he has made extraordinary moves."
Under the protection of more than a dozen guards, Sun Bin was sitting in front of a forest of Hu Yang drinking tea. He was in a good mood. When he saw Sang Wazi, he smiled and nodded at him, as if he was approving.
The Western Regions were not as bad as Sun Bin imagined. The grassland in early summer was warm and the air was fresh. Looking around, the eyes were full of green and green. Occasionally, the wind was a little stronger. When the grass was low, you could see the flock of cattle and sheep hidden in the depths of the grass sea. He set out from Liyang and took thirty days to walk through the Western Regions Corridor, and officially entered this barren land in the eyes of Chinese people. In addition to encountering a pack of wolves once, it was a bit dangerous to encounter bandits this time. The last time he encountered wolves, he just spread the flag given by Bai Dong, so most of the wolves retreated. This time, he didn't wait for him to finish his tea. Sang Wazi defeated the bandits.
There are many masters like Sang Wazi in the Bai family, including the heroic flea lady, Nie Zhu, and the white-haired old man who took him as soon as he made a move and then disappeared. He was a master next to him, but he didn't know any martial arts at all, which is really puzzling.
"I dare not praise you as a sir. I have heard that Mr. Husband is a master of his boxing skills. Compared with Mr. Husband, Sang Wazi is just a rough man who only knows how to dance around his sword."
Sang Wazi said respectfully, but she was quite proud in her heart. This time he volunteered to be Sun Bin's guard, for nothing else, wasn't that boy Silde in the Western Regions? He is a military genius. He also needs someone to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He learned a unique skill with Master Li Di. What kind of future can he have in the academy all day? If this continues, even Cao'er will look down on him. If you want to establish a career, everyone will be together. If I, Sang Wazi, really can't compare to you, Silde, then you will lose with convincingly!
Bai Dong had long seen through Sang Wazi's thoughts. Since Sang Wazi was going to compete with Silde, he was happy to provide this opportunity to his good brothers. Cao'er is his only girl, so his sister-in-law naturally has to be carefully selected. At present, these kids are all excellent and are interested in Cao'er. However, whoever Cao'er finally falls depends on their respective abilities. Isn't he a hero who has a seven-color auspicious cloud, and is he worthy of marrying Cao'er from my family?
"Your swordsmanship is first-class, so you don't need to be too humble. But no matter how good a swordsman is, you will only become ten enemies, hundreds of enemies. A real man has a military formation in his heart, so he is considered a thousand enemies. I think Sang Wazi, your temperament is too straightforward and not a military talent. If you are more conspiracy, I am afraid you are not the opponent of the student I have never met?"
Sun Bin smiled and looked at Sang Wazi. How could he not understand the same nature of Sang Wazi along the way? This kid was a man who couldn't hide things in his heart. After getting to know him gradually, he begged him not to help his future disciple Silde propose to the Bai family, and said that this was unfair!
It turned out that it was all for the younger brother's sister. While Sun Bin laughed, he liked Sang Wazi's straightforward temperament very much. He immediately promised not to interfere in their major competition for love, and he could only be bystanders. But Sang Wazi's such a temperament, how could he be the opponent of his future disciple?
As early as when he left Liyang, he had read the message from Silde's Flying Eagle. The beauty named Madaiwuli was given to the most powerful King Tuyu among the Qiang people at the banquet. It is said that the Seli King was angry about this and left early before he finished drinking. The two major Qiang tribes had cracks since then, but Silde did not spend a single soldier, but just sent a female prisoner.
Sun Bin is shameless to use this conspiracy, but he can still see through Silde's thoughts at a glance. Whether this plan can be achieved depends on whether Madaiwuli, a woman known as the No. 1 beauty in Sek, will deliberately provoke conflicts between the two Qiang kings; she was just a prisoner, and Silde wanted her to use it for her own purposes and had to make countless promises to achieve it, otherwise it would be difficult for this woman to be the concubine of King Tuyu? But if she did things done, what qualifications would Silde have to fulfill his promise? With the sinister methods shown by this kid, he would probably kill people to silence him. In this way, he not only fulfilled his reputation of not loving beauty, but also covered up his face for his junior brother.
Silde is really cruel, but Sun Bin is becoming more and more interested in this future student. To be a successor to the military, ruthlessness is a prerequisite. Sun Bin is also a ruthless man? It’s just that he was tied up by Bai Dong to Lao Qin shortly after he came out of the mountain. He really has no chance to show his skills.
Sang Wazi raised her eyebrows and was about to answer, but suddenly someone shouted: "Consul Sang, the identity of the thief has been confirmed, he is a Qiang person! And judging from the patterns on their arms, it seems to be the Qiang people of the rest of the Tuwu!"
"The rest of the picture?"
Sun Bin was slightly stunned and looked up at the translator in the team. This man was the Fan Family Trading Company, an expert in the Western Regions. He was not only proficient in various Rong languages, but also good at distinguishing the tribes on the grasslands of the Western Regions.
The Fan Family Trading Company did not have the ability to manage the Western Regions to build a safe and stable Silk Road. However, for the last wishes of their ancestors, they even had to lose many lives, and never gave up their exploration of the Western Regions. Bai Dong and the Fan Family formed a strategic alliance, which really saved a lot of effort.
"It's really strange that Tuyu and Seli tribes are the two strongest tribes among the Qiang people. The other eleven Qiang people have to act according to their expressions, so these two tribes have always been very proud. How could there be a tribe member who came out to be a robber?"
The shopkeeper of the Fan family frowned and said, "There are two major enemies on the grasslands of the Western Regions. The first is the wolf pack and the second is the bandits. Whether it is the Dayuezhi, the Qiang people or the Chinese, they must be killed when they encounter bandits. If the bandits reveal their origins, even the tribes where they are located will be jointly attacked by the arms of the Western Regions! Now the tribes of the Tuyu tribe are actually coming to be bandits. If this is spread, the grasslands of the Western Regions will be shocked!"
"Haha, the grasslands in the Western Regions are probably already shocked."
Sun Bin's brain was electrocuted, and he instantly figured out the key. He nodded slightly and said, "Fan Fenzhang, how far is this place from the gathering place of the rest of the map?"
"The grassland occupied by the Tuyu tribe is rich in water and grass, and has rarely changed over the years. If I remember correctly, I should have traveled two hundred miles west from now on. If nothing unexpected happens, the tent of King Tuyu is there."
"Then go west and send scouts to explore thirty miles, reporting every ten miles! The brigade advances with geese formations."
After Sun Bin gave the order, the Qin people quickly formed a formation. With the Bai family's strength as the core, the Qin army's sharp cavalry lined up on both sides, constantly stretching and sucking, just like the two wings of the birds that were indescribable.
This kind of goose formation is one of the formations carefully studied by Sun Bin, which is the most suitable way to march. The speed of the core army remains unchanged, but the cavalry on both wings suddenly move forward and retreat to align with the central army. If you encounter narrow and dangerous terrain, even if the enemy ambushed on both sides in advance, it will be difficult to surround the Qin army in one fell swoop, and it will be even more difficult to divide and cut it off.
After walking for dozens of miles, a scout came to report, and smoke and dust were rolling in front of him, as if there were a large army of thousands of people. Sun Bin nodded and ordered another search. Ten miles later, another scout came to report. He had already seen the Qin people's orders, with the big flag of the West, which seemed to be our army pursuing the enemy. The pursued people used sheepskin as the flag, and the orders were scattered. The soldiers dressed like the Qiang people who were bandits.
"Is it Silde?"
Sang Wazi's expression changed. Yesterday, she received a letter from Silde's Flying Eagle, saying that she was coming to welcome Mr. Sun. However, this kid was mysterious and didn't say much. Unexpectedly, he was chasing the enemy and came to welcome Mr. Sun.
This kid has too many methods. He is clearly trying to leave a deep impression on Mr. Sun and show his ability to control the battlefield?
"The whole army is lined up on the hills on the left, let's see how he fights this battle."
Sun Bin smiled slightly. Silde was going to buy something in front of him, a teacher. Isn’t it a kind of “bad students” demonstration against the teacher? Since that’s the case, let yourself see what methods this kid has.
Not long after the Qin army formed the formation, they saw the smoke and dust in front of them, and a large flag with the word "Western" was waving in the distance, but in front were hundreds of Qiang knights wearing leather armor and scarves. Their formation was extremely chaotic, and the only few flags were also tilted.
