The elephants were running, dust was flying, wailing was everywhere, and blood was splattered. On the battlefield, every breath is like dancing on the edge of a knife, full of excitement and fear. In such a hellish scene, the young men of the Jin generation unexpectedly saw their clan leader.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The noisy sounds around them suddenly became distant, and in their eyes there was only the tribe leader's sister who looked like a fairy descending from heaven.
Song Jinxiu looked at these brothers with frosted faces, ragged clothes, and blood all over their bodies, and nodded with a smile:
No, it's a bit embarrassing, but the people are still there, one less person.
The moment Song Chunsheng saw his sister, he frowned instinctively: Why is this girl here? She dares to go in such a dangerous place, how can we still trust her?
"Brother, brothers." Song Jinxiu greeted with a smile.
"Sister of the clan leader,"
"beautiful……"
The brother and sister reunited, with thousands of words to say, but only one cry filled with thousands of emotions, and then they all plunged into the war again.
Song Jinxiu and the thirty-six guards joined in, and Wei Qingyun also noticed it.
He knew that a princess had come to the border to supervise the army, and he also knew that someone knocked on the camp with the princess's name card yesterday.
But the battle plan could not afford to fail after planning for so long, and he did not take seriously the guards of a spoiled princess who was supervising the army.
Besides, he had been disgusted with this military supervisor from the beginning.
What is a military supervisor?
He was sent by the emperor to monitor the Wei family! It would be strange if he had any feelings for her.
But now he saw a woman in tight clothes and a ponytail, and he thought: This must be the princess's bodyguard, right? It seems that he has good skills, but it's a pity that he can only protect one woman with such great skills.
While Song Jinxiu and his sister were fighting side by side, Su Mo was also confronting the army of the King of Southern Xinjiang.
Similarly, they were also shocked by the appearance of the elephant army.
But the Su family army has always been brave, and they have long fought bloody battles with the northern barbarians. Not to mention the elephant army, even if it was the heavenly soldiers and generals, they would be terrified if they faced them.
The elephant army was huge, with thick skin and tough flesh, so ordinary attacks had no effect. So they would attack one point together with seven or eight people, and they would always be able to injure the elephants.
Also, their war horses were well-trained, and although they panicked and feared once or twice, they were quickly pacified.
Soldiers sitting on elephants had to defend themselves against the tall war horses and raise their crossbows to shoot, which was very difficult for them.
Because the Su army had been raiding in grasslands, deserts, Gobi deserts and other areas all year round, they were good at using formations, raids, field battles, large-scale corps operations and face-to-face confrontations, and they emphasized rapid assaults and encirclement tactics.
Therefore, they always fight with one swift blow and are as fierce as a tiger.
The war horses neighed and came in an instant. Even the elephant army was frightened by the momentum.
For a time, the army of the King of Southern Xinjiang suffered heavy casualties and had difficulty moving forward.
"Wow! The Su family army is indeed well-deserved. Even if our Dingguo army encounters them, we will have to retreat."
"Yes, their war horses are so tall. I heard that the Su family army has 70,000 to 80,000 cavalrymen."
"Ah? Is this true or false?"
The officers and soldiers of the Dingguo Army were envious of these tiger-like cavalrymen and talked about them.
Even Wei Qixin sighed with emotion: "Su Mo is a bad kid. The old Duke Zhenguo should rest in peace for having such a son."
Wei Qinghu was in his early twenties and was the eldest son of Wei Qiliang. Looking at this Duke of Zhenguo, who was one year younger than him, he said with some jealousy, "Cavalry is so impressive, Second Uncle, it's time for our Dingguo Army to expand its cavalry force."
Wei Qixin laughed and said, "Boy, you have never been to the Gobi Desert in the north, have you? That endless Gobi Desert is nothing but gravel and stones. It is a paradise for cavalrymen there."
"We have more people in the south, which is more conducive to large-scale cavalry combat, so our Dingguo Army is mainly composed of infantry.
Don't be jealous just because the Su family army has won a few battles. Su Mo is just a brave general. He was able to win the battle because the King of Southern Xinjiang had not yet reacted and was simply given a warning.
By the time he realizes what's happening, and takes advantage of the terrain and climate to engage in jungle warfare, will the warhorse be able to get on board? Or can we go down to the river?
Therefore, we will have to rely on the infantry of the Dingguo Army when the time comes. ”
He looked at the Dingguo Army soldiers who were resting behind him. He also said:
"This is also the reason why our Dingguo Army is mainly composed of infantry. Although we rely on our two legs, we can go up and down the river. There is no place we can walk without relying on our two legs.
So what we are good at is guerrilla warfare and ambush.
This southern border is full of poisonous insects, and the saint of southern border is good at poison. Our focus of defense is the endless wilderness in the north. Qinghu, the land battle is the main battlefield of our Dingguo Army. Therefore, the most important thing is to let your soldiers learn to use their feet well. ”
"Yes, Huer understands." Wei Qing said protectively.
Then he scratched his head and laughed, "I was just jealous when I saw the Duke of Zhenguo riding a tall horse to kill the enemy. How majestic. If sister Duoer saw it, she would clamor to marry the hero again."
"Hahaha." Wei Qixin laughed heartily when talking about his precious daughter Wei Qingduo.
"It's a pity that there is no possibility of marriage between our two families, otherwise I really want Duo'er to marry the Duke of Zhenguo."
Wei Qinghu was speechless: Second uncle just said that the Duke of Zhenguo was a brave general, and now he said he was a candidate for son-in-law. Is he still interested in that boy? snort! I guess he is also jealous of the 40,000 Su family troops? ”
"Dad, big brother." A clear female voice interrupted their conversation.
They turned around and saw Wei Qingduo, who was dressed in men's clothes, and her maid Cui Liu, who was also dressed in men's clothes, carrying a large basket and walking towards them.
"Hahaha, look, this girl is the one I talk about the most. As soon as I mentioned her, she came running over."
Wei Qingduo was sixteen years old, quite tall, beautiful, with tender skin. Although her eyes were large, they were very lively, especially her typical teardrop nose, which was slightly upturned, giving her a unique sense of playfulness.
"Dad, big brother, we just cooked the rice dumplings wrapped in reed leaves and added red dates. I made them. Come and try them."
"Okay, okay, my daughter made them herself, so Daddy will have to eat a few more."
Wei Qixin laughed and picked up a rice dumpling wrapped in reed leaves. Then he thought of something. He glanced at his nephew, pointed at the Su family army camping in the distance and said:
"They have come all the way to help us, so we should also show our hospitality. This reed leaf rice dumpling is rare to us, but it may be a rare thing for the northern army. Let's go and treat the generals of the Su family army to a feast."
At this time, after a battle, the Su army chose a place with lush grass and water to set up camp.
The soldiers did not let the horses graze, but worked hard to cut the grass themselves and wash it with clean water to prevent it from being contaminated by poisonous insects and mud.
After washing the clean grass, place it in the sun to dry the surface moisture, and then sprinkle a layer of bran on it before feeding it. This can prevent the horse from getting wet and ensure the nutrition of the horse.
Under two big trees on the roadside, the weeds had been cleared, and a big stone was placed between them, with a sheepskin map on the stone.
Several generals of the Su family army gathered around a large rock, talking about the advantages and disadvantages of elephant soldiers.
