Chapter 244 Plunder and Resistance
Qin Tao was so angry that he went into the deserted city without looking back...
He didn't notice that shortly after he turned around, the sternness on the face of the Qin family army's deputy general turned into an appreciative smile.
"The young general is too reckless! He just rushed forward among thousands of enemy soldiers! If anything goes wrong, how are we going to explain to the general?" His comrades beside him seemed to be terrified!
"A 17-year-old boy, who wouldn't be frivolous? The young general is a bit reckless, but his martial arts are superb. Even if we don't follow him, we may not get hurt!"
Some people sighed that the Qin family army had successors! Military force was the most intuitive strength! Fearlessness was the most respected quality in the army!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The military drums sounded.
The deputy general immediately interrupted the idle chat, and all members of the Qin Army fell silent and got into position! Waiting for further military orders!
There were about a thousand cavalrymen coming towards them! The first ones looked like northern tribesmen!
The Qin family army is about to step forward and strangle them!
But he found that most of them were soldiers from Daxia! One of them was burly and eye-catching, and it was Lu Daqing dressed as a general, who nodded to the deputy general of the Qin family army.
Lu Daqing shouted to the northern tribesmen again: "Line up where you are!"
Another Daxia soldier repeated in Mongolian. The northern tribesmen wearing old cotton-padded clothes were all confused, but they subconsciously lined up according to the instructions...
"Are these our prisoners of war?" a captain of the Qin family army asked quietly.
The deputy general was also completely unaware, but he solemnly signaled to keep silent! A soldier's duty is to obey orders, and the Qin family army, as a well-trained elite, obeys orders even more strictly!
Now that Prince Duan is the commander-in-chief, they have already confirmed from actual combat that he is a shrewd general, so no matter how strange the orders he issues are, they will strictly execute them!
Then, there was a commotion inside the city gate, and a large group of prisoners dressed in Tatar costumes came out with a variety of melee weapons!
When more than a thousand Tatar prisoners of war filed out, even stranger military orders were issued!
"General, I have orders! The Qin army will penetrate the enemy's rear from the flank! This time, there will be Tatar prisoners following on foot to the Tatar gathering place in the northeast, but you don't need to pay any more attention to them!"
"Order!"
The Qin family army's tens of thousands of horses moved, first walking slowly to the northeast corner, and then starting to trot after crossing the corner of the city wall!
Once you are within the enemy's archery range, start charging!
"Come on!"
It is more difficult for the enemy to break through after being prepared! The blood spilled is even more tragic!
More soldiers fell off their horses than in the previous round! Some were picked up by their comrades in time, but many were too late to be rescued. However, the attacking Qin's cavalry would not stop!
As the order said, the Tatar prisoners followed the cavalry! They had no horses, so they ran much slower. Their warm clothes were not as good as leather armor and iron armor, so they had almost no resistance to arrows!
Chu Shiyu did not give any specific orders to the Tatar prisoners of war. He only asked those who could speak Mongolian to tell them that an unknown force was attacking and that the Daxia Army could give them a chance to defend their homes.
At this time, all the selected Tatars ran wildly! Fortunately, it was not much easier to aim than the cavalry, and the Daxia cavalry and them dispersed their targets, so most of the prisoners saw the outline of their home!
The grassland people are all soldiers, so they are destined to be more adaptable to changes on the battlefield! After the Daxia army fell off their horses, some horses were at a loss and stayed where they were! Tatar prisoners of war immediately took over the horses and picked up bows and arrows and other weapons!
There were also Tatar prisoners who supported their compatriots who were unfortunately shot by arrows! But unexpectedly, some seriously injured Daxia soldiers lying on the ground were also helped up and taken to the gathering place!
There was no one outside the yurts, but pairs of women and children's eyes were watching anxiously through the seams of the thick felt cloth.
When they saw the men running back, they immediately came out to greet them! Fear was replaced by worry!
There were constant chattering and grumbling! But it was only a brief conversation, and the women and children returned to the yurt, with only a few injured Tatar and Daxia warriors being helped in...
There were less than a thousand Tatar prisoners of war who were still capable of fighting, but they were all left outside the yurts, holding a variety of miscellaneous weapons!
They were like a fragile but standing wall, standing in the middle, separating the army of tens of thousands of people less than a mile away, and blocking the warm yurts behind them.
At this time, the Qin family cavalry had once again penetrated from the side and rear of the enemy!
Both sides suffered heavy casualties! But on the open plain, the cavalry that took the initiative to charge still had the upper hand! A lot of blood and corpses were left in the enemy army! Most of them were the enemy's own!
Although one cannot judge a person's courage by the order in which they go into battle, compared to the fearless vanguards who attacked the deserted city, the enemy's rear-end soldiers were obviously more confused after the charge of the Great Xia cavalry!
Then, someone who was close at the back noticed the fragile human wall in front of the Tatar gathering place nearby.
There was a brief silence, I don't know whether it was anger, fear or measurement...
Even greater chaos broke out!
In the army, a group of soldiers rebelled against the constant shouting and attacked the yurt that was within their grasp!
Arrows pouring down!
Many people in the human wall fell!
The iron hoofs are coming with great force, and the human wall seems fragile!
The Tatar prisoners did not retreat, but roared! They rushed forward! Behind them, there was a reason why they could not retreat!
Some were hit by the butcher's knife, their heads and bodies torn apart! Some were knocked to the ground, their chests pierced!
But more people burst out with astonishing power! The talents of the grassland people are unprecedentedly displayed!
They avoided being hit by the horse by a hair's breadth!
Someone swung up the crude weapon in his hand! Cut off the horse's hooves, and when the man and the horse fell, he killed the opponent and seized the weapon!
Some people grabbed the other person's reins or even the horse's mane, and used the momentum to knock both the person and the horse to the ground!
Some even flew into the air and knocked the opponent off! The horse changed hands!
Originally, only a small group of people went out to attack the Tatar gathering place, but the battle had already broken out, which immediately caused a subsequent turmoil. Many people in the army were separated, some to help their companions! Some directly bypassed the human wall and broke into the yurt!
There were continuous shrill screams! Then they carried out bags of food and grabbed scattered belongings! You could vaguely see blood on their hands, clothes, or the things they had looted!
The human wall that blocked the way had been broken up! The Tatar prisoners were trapped in a desperate struggle! But some of them kept breaking through the obstacles! They rushed back to the yurts!
He roared like a beast, killing those bloody looters! Even though he would be killed by the attack from behind the next moment!
But the looting did not stop, but became even faster! They quickly got on their horses and fled after grabbing the things! However, some people spared the women and children who could not be killed in order to avoid getting involved in the fight!
Plunder and resistance have been repeated countless times in this corner of the Gobi Desert, on the vast land.
But the difference is that Daxia’s attack has not stopped!
Another group of cavalrymen began a new round of charge! They penetrated the enemy's rear from the other side again!
Those who had grabbed the things were about to return to their positions, but some of them looked at the things in their hands, then looked at the aggressive Daxia cavalry! They simply turned around and ran towards the vast Gobi Desert behind them!
If there is one, there are two!
One after another! More and more deserters! It even began to spread! Even some people who didn't grab anything ran away directly!
