Chapter 148: Fire Horse Rush
Yuan Qizhe'er, the chief of the Yuan Qizhe tribe, is fifty years old, and is the oldest among the chiefs. At this time, he was carrying a love horse with a package of nearly 300 kilograms, walking on the mountain road of Panshe Valley with a sad look, trying his best to escort the army to rush forward. As the weakest of the five tribes of the Xi tribe, Yuan Qizhe'er, the leader of Yuan Qizhe'er, is of the oldest age, but has the lowest voice. But there is no doubt that he is the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable person among the five chiefs.
King Xi Ah Huiruo has always tried every means to contact Gao Kaidao, hoping to use the way to rob Youzhou and plunder ill-gotten wealth. Yuan Qizheer has always opposed doing this, but he has the lowest voice and no one listened to him. The five tribes of the Xi clan are in the same spirit, and Yuan Qizhe tribe cannot be isolated, so they can only follow him reluctantly.
Yuan Qizheer's opposition was not because he was very kind, but just because he saw a little further than others. It was estimated that a thousand years ago, the Central Plains and the grassland began to have endless grudges and entanglements, such as the Zhou Dynasty and the Quanrong, the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Xiongnu, the Jin and the Five Barbarians...
All these are inseparable from a law, whoever is weak is bullied. The Tang Dynasty is now rising, and the Central Plains is no longer the era when everyone can bully it at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The Xi tribe is not a super-large tribe like the Turks. It has the capital to compete with the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to offend a rising Central Plains Empire for a little money and lose the big picture because of a small loss.
Facts have also proved that he was correct, and the Tang Dynasty was not something that the Xi tribe could fight against.
He learned about the urgent situation of the war from King Ah Huiru. The 20,000 elite Xi tribe who occupied the land was at a disadvantage without any suspense. Those who were forced could only force the soldiers to fight attrition and delay time with the flesh and blood of the tribe. There was no need to calculate the gains and losses. Even if they transported all the supplies back to the Xi tribe, they would have failed. No matter how much wealth they had, they could not bring the lives of more than ten thousand Xi warriors, not to mention that more than ten thousand casualties were just preliminary estimates, and the actual number was only a large or small number.
But even so, they have no choice but to go on with the wrong ones.
Yuan Qizheer walked with great worries, and suddenly he leaned back and quickly took a step back. He avoided the possibility of falling down due to unstable center of gravity. He turned around in confusion, but saw that the love horse stopped and pulled his head as if he was about to turn around.
Yuan Qizhe's heart is not good. The grassland is full of dangers, and there are countless beasts such as wolf, snake, tiger, and leopard, and humans are often unable to guard against it. However, animals have innate advantages and are far more sensitive to danger than ordinary people. Experienced grassland people will judge danger based on the reactions of horses, cattle, sheep, dogs and other animals, so they are careful and alert.
Yuan Qizhe felt that this abnormality of Love Joe was not good.
Before he could react, he felt a slight vibration under his feet, and the sound of hooves came from far to near. He had lived in the grassland for a lifetime, so how could he not hear the sound of a galloping horse stepping on the ground?
"Enemy attack!" Yuan Qizheer shouted loudly. However, he felt extremely strange in his heart. The roads of Panshe Valley are difficult to walk, and strange rocks are everywhere. Even if the nations on the grassland cannot ride horses in such places, who is the sacred place? They have such superb and terrifying riding skills.
Soon Yuanqi Zheer understood...
Looking at the horses with flames, everything was understood: the enemy was not very good at riding. It was clearly the enemy who saw through their weaknesses and carried hay on the horse's back. He lit the horse's tail and drove the horse to rush towards them. The horse was instinctively galloping to escape.
Yuan Qizheer didn't care about anything else, so he turned around and ran away. He walked in the front, the first one to react, and there was a space for him to shuttle through, and he hid from the first place in the first row to behind a hundred people.
The others had to take a step slower. After they reacted, they chose to turn around and run away almost at the same time.
When they moved, everyone in the front row immediately crowded together, pushing me and squeezing me.
The panicked fire horses didn't care about so many things, and directly hit the crowd, knocked people to the ground in a row, trampled them onto them, and made meat paste. At the same time, the hay on the fire horses was also transmitted to each other at this time, igniting the surrounding horses and the crowded people.
No one is afraid of death, and when there is no room for anything to do, the soldiers of the Xi clan turned around and fled like crazy, trampling on each other when they see the gap, trampling on each other, and crowding each other. The most terrifying thing is the frightened horse, and the beasts don’t care about it. They are so scared that they use all kinds of martial arts, which causes great harm to the Xi clan soldiers.
People were in chaos and horses were in chaos, crowded with each other, so that more than 2,000 people were stuck on both sides of the valley and could not move: the only thing waiting for them was death.
Yuan Qizhe retreated to his last head, looking at the scene in front of him, wanting to cry without tears.
They escaped because the front row of horses were crowded with people and accumulated into a living wall of meat, blocking the attack of the fire horses and blocking the source of the turmoil. This root of the problem was broken, and the people behind the wall of meat also avoided the disaster.
The incident happened so suddenly and quickly that the people in the rear did not even know what was going on, and kept shouting and moving forward.
"What a pity, it's a pity, I didn't expect this to be the result!" Meng Chao looked at the fire horse hitting the flesh wall, unable to rush over and finally burned to death on the spot, shouting, "It's a pity."
Su Dingfang touched his small beard and nodded with satisfaction, "It's enough, you don't have to look at it. There must be a mess behind this flesh wall. If they want to rest and fight, they will have to spend half a day. Without losing one soldier and one soldier, five hundred horses will be exchanged for nearly three thousand casualties, and winning most of the day, where can they find such good things?"
"Ha!" Meng Chao smiled and agreed: "That's right!"
Just as Su Dingfang expected, he learned from his mistakes and became wise. Yuan Qizheer decisively did not dare to march so intensively. He spent nearly a day re-arranging and organized eight thousand brave and warlike soldiers to break the formation.
With eight thousand warriors as the front, the remaining soldiers were divided into three columns and left room for response, just like three long snakes advancing slowly.
When he arrived at the entrance of the valley, Yuan Qizheer looked at the narrow and dangerous land, which showed the shape of a font and supported each other and relied on each other. Each of the three camps had fifty strong archers standing in charge, and there were three hundred soldiers under the camps to protect each other, and the upper and lower parts cooperated to make the key points.
Yuan Qizheer felt dizzy when he looked at it, and for a moment of loss of consciousness, and said bitterly: "Call three thousand more people here..." Although there were eight thousand, facing such strict defense, Yuan Qizheer did not even have the courage to attack.
It was not until the left and right that he had gathered 10,000 troops, which gave him a little confidence and gave an order to attack, and said nervously: "I hope the king can hold on for a longer time." He did not know that at this moment, the king he mentioned had become a prisoner.
