Chapter Eleven Dai Shan

The feather arrow shot fiercely beside the light cavalry wearing armed mail clothes and galloped in the wilderness. In shock, the cavalry pulled out their swords and stopped their horses and looked around, but there was no movement around them, and there was only a dead silence.

The rider kept roaming the horse with his sword, lowered his voice to comfort the frightened mount, and felt more and more uneasy. Just as he was about to give up his mission and rode his horse north to escape the deserted fields of wild grass, a sudden sound came from his right side, and he quickly tied the reins and turned the horse's head in that direction.

At this moment, while turning with the rider, he heard a sour arching sound in the grass. Accompanied by the sound of the collapsed string, the sharp blade shot out with a long-singed heavy armor-breaking arrow. The next moment he collided with the armed clothes behind the cavalry and then penetrated into it.

The rider who was caught on the horse's back looked at the arrow shaft as thick as a finger on his chest in disbelief, and kicked the horse's belly with all his strength. The pained war horse man stood up and suddenly stepped out his four hooves and ran forward.

But before he could run two steps, three Jurchen archers who were wearing thick sheepskin coats and felt hats flashed out in front of him, throwing out tripping ropes with two stones hanging in succession.

The huge French war horse was restrained from the front hooves, and the injured owner was pushed into the air. However, because the existence of the Gaoqiao saddle and stirrup could not be shaken away, they smashed to the ground together.

The struggle of the war horse caused dust. The rider was pressed down on one leg and was subjected to the secondary damage caused by the heavy horse's body being crushed. The long sword flew out as early as the time of the arrow. Even so, he tried his best to pull out the injured leg, and pulled out the short sword from the saddle to try to resist stubbornly.

The little chief outside the pass was shooting the arrow and smiled. The three troops also pulled out their weapons and surrounded them. One of them took the heavy bow of the young chief. He saw the former glance at the broken arrow, pulled out the short-handled bone bun stuffed on his waist, and swung it up and knocked down the injured cavalry in just one moment. Then he complained: "Bad our arrow, it's a bargain for you."

After saying that, the three troops had already gathered up and quickly cleaned up the valuable items on the cavalry. Soon, the long sword carefully forged by the royal arsenal, the short sword made by the village blacksmith, the mail turban that broke several rings, the mail and penetrating plate armor coat were shot by heavy arrows, and the shoulder pads of the plate armor were neatly placed in front of the little chief.

There were even worn leather gloves, smelly brown leather boots, shrunken money bags, dirty crotch tights and shade bags thrown into the pile of weeds along with the resultant corpses. When the troops came out again, they respectfully presented the long arrow to the chief with two heads hanging from their waists.

Despite penetrating the cavalry and the mail, the arrow was still unscathed. The young chief took a look at the leather money bag among the relics of the French cavalry at first sight, and raised his hand to his subordinates. He carefully took out seven of the same arrows from his waist and put them in the purse and put them in his arms. The young Jurchen leader took back his big bow and looked into the distance.

People are usually not so generous and do not take any penny of silver coins. If they use them to win people's hearts, they will inevitably have some plans in their hearts.

He was Daishan of the Nara clan of the Hada tribe of the Hada tribe in Haixi, the former Ming Right Pillar Kingdom, the Dragon and Tiger General, the grandson of Wan Khan, the governor of Hada, and the nephew of the general Kanggulu, the Baishan camp general, was forced to join the Baishan camp with a knife by his uncle's tribe. On the battlefield, he was always assigned to the most dangerous jobs with his tribes. After the battle, he always got the worst profits and gained more military achievements than most Iron Pagodas. But now only seven people died in the thirty tribes, and he had not yet obtained a decent war horse.

It took Daishan a long time to figure out why his uncle Kanggulu had to lead his troops to the court recruitment - if he died on the battlefield, wouldn’t Kanggulu, who had the identity of a general of the Ming army, be able to unify the Hada tribe when he returned?

It was such a simple thing, Dai Shan couldn't figure it out. Even if he figured it out now, he still thought it didn't matter.

On the one hand, he didn't want to and dared to challenge Kangguru, and on the other hand, it was because Daishan bet all his future on the Ming army's expedition, believing that as the war progressed, his treatment would gradually improve.

For example, this time they went to war, they no longer respected the order of Kanggulu, but the order of Yuan Zizhang, the vanguard general of the Eastern Army, and selected eight hundred bow soldiers, formed small teams, and went north to scout.

Six miles behind him was Yuan Zizhang, and Wang Youlin led a thousand and four hundred Beiyang Banners, following them towards the north.

In fact, many Jurchen warriors have similar ideas to Dai Shan. Since they set foot on the land of the New World, many of them have not planned to go back. The grievances and grievances of the past can naturally be thought out.

What’s the excitement of missing in my hometown? I miss the cold for half a year, or the excitement of waking up after a sleep and being buried in the snow?

Daishan's bow is a heavy bow that is high in people. Why would he use this kind of arrow that specializes in breaking armor between the white mountains and black waters? The original intention of this thing was not to break armor, but to guard against bears and tigers running out of the mountains.

Europa is much better. There are no large wild beasts here. Those who run around are bald monks who are not fighting. The land is suitable for planting and the climate is very pleasant. It will rain in the middle of winter.

More than 18,000 times more comfortable than outside the mouth.

When the old man outside the pass sees this, who can move his legs apart?

Dai Shan thought so. He didn't plan to follow the rewards and punishments of his uncle Kanggulu, who was unknown, and he wanted to take advantage of this trip to send troops to make more contributions to General Yuan. If he could be appreciated, even if he was not incorporated into the Beiyang Army, he would be much better than going back.

Bang!

Just as Dai Shan's subordinates came to the war horse to train themselves, and they were resigned to the fate of the horse, a gunshot came from afar, which made Dai Shan cleverly cross the bow in front of him, and quickly pointed to the helmet and armor that was placed all over the floor and said, "Put it on, call the other ones, don't worry about this lame horse, let's leave quickly if someone fails."

At the same time, almost all the infantry archers who were scouts and stragglers of the front army gradually gathered and retreated slowly, just like Dai Shan's choice.

Yuan Zizhang led his army to leave the bridgehead fortification because the strategy of the fatigued soldiers of the Kangguru clan armoured Iron Pagoda achieved great results. This effect was obtained by harassing all night. In order to deal with the continuous harassment of heavy archers, Billon tried almost all kinds of methods. Finally, as the morning approached, the French army really figured out a method - the walking knight.

This method even almost broke into the trenches of the Ming army at the bridgehead. If the bombardment of artillery had not allowed the exhausted knights who were preparing for war day and night to retreat, they would have probably entered the trenches.

Dai Shan didn't know what kind of method was, but judging from the military order that Yuan Zizhang ordered them to ambush, robbery, and retreat immediately in case of head-on conflict, he believed that in Yuan Zizhang's judgment, the enemy troops on the West Bank were likely to have known this method, and this method may also pose a huge threat to the Beiyang Banner Army, which is rampant in the world.
