Chapter 71: Shock the Enemy with "Kill"
Chapter 71: Shock the Enemy with "Kill"
As the group walked further and further away, the Dibaonu camp suddenly became quiet.
The soldiers and waiters looked at each other, not daring to say a word.
Dibaonu's face was extremely gloomy.
After spending a lot of effort and money to bring the person back, I ended up being a wedding dress for others.
The gap made him angry.
His gaze lingered on Arsleng for a moment, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes, but it eventually disappeared.
The Tatars have left as the military training is approaching.
The people of the Naiman tribe are particularly valuable and must be firmly grasped.
But the annoyance in his heart could not be relieved, so the land security slave simply turned around and left, returning straight to the tent.
Dibaonu returned to the military tent and sat alone, feeling depressed.
Soon, an old man in his fifties walked into the military tent quickly.
Seeing Dibaonu like this, he smiled gently:
"Greetings to the Second Prince. I wonder what is on your mind right now?"
Dibaonu glanced at him lightly and waved his hand.
The waiter immediately drew down the curtain of the tent, and the tent suddenly became dark.
The earthkeeper looked gloomy and said in a cold voice:
"The Tatars have been taken away by Tianbaonu. We are wasting our efforts."
The old man smiled gently:
"May I ask, Your Highness, why are you so pessimistic? In my opinion, this is truly a God-given opportunity."
When Di Baonu said the first half of the sentence, he could no longer hold back his anger.
But in the second half of the sentence, Dibaonu frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"how you said that."
The slightly dim sunlight squeezed in, illuminating the mayflies in the military tent, and shining on the old man, highlighting his face that flickered in and out:
"May I ask, Your Highness, will the Khan agree to lend me the troops?"
Dibaonu shook his head and said, "No, I went to see the Khan before and told him about the decision to shun Borshu, and the Khan agreed."
The old man's wrinkled face blossomed like a chrysanthemum:
"That's it. The royal court needs to rest and recuperate.
There is no intention to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no question of borrowing troops unless something unexpected happens.
As a result, Tianbao Nutaiji could not see the situation clearly and could not guess what the Khan was thinking.
If he hastily agreed to Borshu, he would certainly be embarrassed in the end.
Tianbao Nutaiji will lose all face.”
The land security guard frowned slightly, still feeling annoyed, and waved his hand gently:
“What’s the point of losing face?
No matter how much shame he suffers, he is still Taiji.
Besides, the Tatar tribe is of great importance to the royal court. If I stand on the side of Tianbaonu, I will have no chance."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. A general who is just delivering a letter cannot make a decision on such an important matter.
Ultimately, it is the Khan and the Princess who determine your status.
As long as you can make the royal soldiers stronger and restore their glory,
By then, even if you are not a taiji, your soldiers will help you become one."
The old man said slowly, and the earthkeeper sighed softly:
"Now... this is the only way, but... how difficult is this?"
“Even if it’s difficult, you must keep going and let the Khan and the princess see your efforts.
Now the royal court has accepted some new tribes, as well as people from the Tatars and Naiman tribes.
Even if we have to steal, we must steal their fighting methods.
The most important task is to gather the strengths of all schools and pass them on to the soldiers under your command.
If one day, Your Highness, the troops in your hands are the best in the royal court,
By then, will it matter whether Taiji is you or not?"
This act was extremely rebellious, but Di Baonu's heart was pounding with fear and he couldn't control himself.
"Your Highness, Arsleng is on good terms with General Borshu.
The two were hunted down by the Ming army together. It is no exaggeration to say that they shared life and death.
As long as His Highness Arsleng can stand firmly on His Highness' side,
It doesn't matter where Bolshu is.
If the request for troops fails, Borshu will approach His Highness."
After hearing this, Dibaonu felt much better. He also understood these things clearly.
I just felt very angry that Tianbao Nu took me away like that.
With a soft sigh, Dibaonu regained his spirits:
"I know what to do. Send someone to tell Arsleng to perform martial arts in the training ground in the afternoon."
At this point, Dibaonu looked thoughtful, with a gleam of light in his eyes:
“What if I invite Tianbao Nu to perform martial arts with me?
Perhaps we can invite the Khan and the princess to watch it together.”
The old man frowned and thought for a moment:
"This is a good move. It will allow the Khan and the Princess to see your determination to revive the royal court.
We can also invite some officers to come and watch,
If Arsleng is brave enough and shows attractive skills,
I believe there will be many soldiers who want to surrender to the Second Prince.
There are still countless people in the royal court who want to climb to a high position by killing enemies and making meritorious contributions. "
A smile spread across Dibaonu's face. He stood up without thinking and walked out of the tent, saying:
"I will report this to the Khan right away."
In Liu Heiying's military tent, Lu Yunyi looked solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he kept walking.
The Tatars also had cavalry coming to the vicinity of Buyuer Lake, which was definitely a bolt from the blue for them.
If the situation is not handled properly, these hundreds of people might die on the spot and be unable to escape.
At this moment, Liu Heiying spoke in a deep voice with a serious face:
"Brother Yun'er, can we find an excuse to leave first?
It might be safer to withdraw to Gyeongju as soon as possible."
Lu Yunyi sighed: "Wu Fuliu may be able to leave, but we can't.
In their eyes, we came here to seek refuge with Nahachu.
Now that Nahachu has passed away, we are left as stray dogs, and can only rely on the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
If I leave now, wouldn't it be like trying to cover up one's own guilt?"
Liu Heiying figured out the key and sighed softly:
"Brother Yun'er, why did Wu Fuliu go to Tianbao Nu?
If we were together, we could discuss things when we encountered them.”
Lu Yunyi's face was solemn, and he shook his head slowly:
"We can't be together. That would be too conspicuous and easily arouse the suspicion of Tianbao Nu.
By then, I was in the open and the enemy was in the dark, so it would be very difficult to defend myself.
At least now the two princes, Naiman and Tatar, each have one, and they can maintain a balance."
As he spoke, a trace of gloom flashed across Lu Yunyi's eyes, and he sighed heavily:
"More importantly, if the Tatar cavalry really came to us, we would have a chance to argue.
If you put all your treasures on the ground slave,
Tianbaonu will definitely do his best to confirm our identity."
Lu Yunyi's voice became increasingly low, and Liu Heying also felt a heavy heart.
But Lu Yunyi immediately laughed and patted his shoulder vigorously:
"Don't worry. Even if the Tatars come, I have a way."
Only then did Liu Heiying feel relieved and a smile appeared on his face:
"Brother Yun'er, you scared me to death. I thought I was going to die."
They both laughed.
At this time, faint footsteps sounded from outside the tent, and soon Ortai poked his head in.
Seeing the two of them, he chuckled:
"Your Highness Arsileng, Your Highness Cyber Black Hawk, Your Highness the Second Highness invites you."
Soon, the two met Di Baonu and agreed to his request to perform martial arts against each other.
An hour later, the two put on their armor and mounted their horses.
Arriving at the huge parade ground on one side of the camp,
Half of them were inside the royal camp, and the other half were outside.
At this time, tables, chairs and benches have been placed here.
The huge tents were half open, neatly facing the wide training ground ahead.
At this moment, many soldiers in armor and armed with sharp weapons have arrived here, exuding a murderous aura.
However, the arrival of Lu Yunyi and his entourage suddenly made the originally tense atmosphere become subtle.
Not only did the morale of Tianbao Nu's troops decline, but even the soldiers beside Dibao Nu had a little more evasiveness in their eyes.
The two princes witnessed this scene and a hint of displeasure flashed across their eyes, but they could only accept it silently.
They had all witnessed the ferocity of the Naiman soldiers with their own eyes, and it was not easy to forget it.
Soon, the Tatar tribe's 'Altai' also came here with his tribe.
There were less than two hundred soldiers beside them, and judging from their aura alone, they were completely different from the royal court's troops.
Those sharp eyes regarded almost everyone as prey.
After everyone was in place, Usar Khan of the royal court came hand in hand with the princess.
Usar Khan was still in military uniform, looking heroic and imposing.
The Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was also dressed in military uniform. The tight armor highlighted her heroic figure, making her look extraordinary.
As soon as the two arrived, the soldiers present were in high spirits, and their eyes became sharper. Seeing this scene, Lu Yunyi secretly took note of it.
In the royal court's army, Usar Khan and the princess held important positions.
Even the prime minister and grand tutor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty could not compare to him.
Usar Khan walked to the half-open tent and waved to the many soldiers present, and then the deafening sound was heard.
"Meet the Khan!"
Three sounds rang out simultaneously, and the sound became louder and louder.
The soldiers who had been listless also perked up and looked energetic.
Wusar Khan said nothing more, looked at the second prince Dibaonu standing on the right, and said loudly:
"let's start."
The excitement on Dibaonu's face could no longer be suppressed.
This martial arts performance marks the beginning of the Royal Court integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools, and also the beginning of the Royal Court’s renewed prosperity!
He took a step forward, his voice loud and clear, echoing all around:
"Martial Arts Performance - Begin~"
The sound was long and desolate, and the horn sounded, echoing all around.
The sound of armor colliding came from all directions.
Along with it was the sound of orderly footsteps.
Lu Yunyi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of about a thousand infantrymen coming out from the main force.
They were wearing half armor, holding long swords and bows and crossbows, and some of the leading soldiers were also holding shields!
Soon they began to practice in an orderly manner.
Swinging the sword, shooting the bow and arrow, raising the shield, the series of actions are done in one go.
If someone who doesn't understand military affairs sees such a scene, he will certainly marvel at the strength of the royal court's troops.
But Lu Yunyi joined the army at the age of ten and experienced many battles.
It is easy to see that these soldiers are just for show.
What he lacks is the bravery and courage to risk everything that a real soldier in battle possesses.
This also made the army look weak and powerless.
Even though the soldiers were shouting and killing loudly, they still lacked some deterrence.
Even the many war horses standing on the side did not react at all.
He was still looking around nonchalantly, digging at the little remaining snow on the ground.
The ground slave smiled, his eyes narrowed, and stared at the martial arts performance in front of him.
He had carefully selected the soldiers for this military exercise.
Those who can come here are soldiers who have made achievements in battle.
Although it was put together temporarily, it is very impressive.
The earth guard slave turned his head to look at Lu Yunyi who was riding on the battlefield and asked:
"Arsleng, how do our royal court's troops compare to the Ming army?"
"The royal court has strong military force, several times greater than our Naiman tribe." Lu Yunyi answered loudly without thinking.
But not only did Di Baonu understand this, but even some of the generals around him understood it.
Their faces suddenly turned gloomy, and someone even snorted coldly.
"We, the warriors of the royal court, can fight bravely even against the Ming army.
Your Highness Arsleng, I see that you were defeated by the Ming army and I am afraid. "
Lu Yunyi looked over and saw the person who was speaking was a young man in his twenties.
But the armor he wore was unusual.
If I am not mistaken, his official position should be general, but he only commands a thousand soldiers.
It should be that the son inherited his father's business and has declined slightly.
In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, as long as there was enough money and food,
You can recruit soldiers at will and report the number to the Privy Council.
This also led to a period of time when the troops under the command of the Grand Tutor, the Grand Captain, and the Prime Minister overwhelmed the Khan.
Naha was appointed as the captain of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
The military force under its control was several times that of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
There are also the former Yuan officials, including the Central Political Bureau, Xuanzhengyuan, Imperial Medical Bureau, Privy Council, and the Grand Military Governor's Office, as well as important officials and officers from the ten provinces.
Nahachu surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong battle.
There were more than one hundred officials of the second rank and above in the Yuan Dynasty alone, which was more complete than the current Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court.
This also led to the fact that officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty court were unknown today.
It is just a makeshift team, with many high-ranking officials having low salaries.
The young man in front of Lu Yunyi now is such a person.
In response to this person's provocation, Lu Yunyi just glanced at him and said loudly:
"Although we were defeated, we will not be afraid of the Ming army.
I just wonder if this general would be afraid if he were to fight the Ming army head-on?"
The young man's face froze, and he immediately stiffened his neck and spoke:
"Of course I'm not afraid."
But everyone present could tell that he looked fierce but was actually weak.
Lu Yunyi just smiled lightly and ignored it.
This made the young man look angry, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the ground guard.
"Well, Ulan Bator, Arsleng has fought against the Ming army, so he knows how powerful they are.
We are just making grand statements here, not knowing how powerful the Ming army is."
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Ulan Batu, but looked at Lu Yunyi and asked:
"Arisheleng, in your opinion, if this thousand-man team were to face the Ming army, what would be the chances of victory?"
Lu Yunyi was embarrassed for a moment, and after thinking carefully in his heart, he said bluntly:
“No chance of winning.”
After these words came out, not only did Dibaonu look unhappy, but Ulanbaatu, who had spoken earlier, also started to curse:
"Arisleng, stop talking nonsense and disturbing the morale of my royal court!"
Lu Yunyi shook his head slightly and made no excuses.
The land security slave suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked for advice:
"Arsleng, where do you think the weakness of this army lies?"
Seeing that he was asking questions tirelessly, Lu Yunyi no longer concealed his feelings and simply said:
"It has form but no spirit, it is only a mere appearance.
Such troops, let alone being put on the battlefield,
Even if they were allowed to cross the grasslands and reach the border of Ming, some people would die.”
"how you said that?"
Di Baonu knew that the soldiers in the Yuan court were useless, but he didn't want them to fall into such a situation.
Lu Yunyi thought about it, then looked back at the few soldiers behind him with an apologetic look on his face:
"It is very easy to prove it, but it will make the royal court lose some face."
Hearing this, Dibaonu showed determination, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily:
"It's okay, please come here today.
I just want to dampen the morale of the royal soldiers. They are still dreaming of being invincible. I want to wake them up."
"Second Prince, please forgive my intrusion."
Lu Yunyi bowed to him with a respectful look on his face.
He turned around to look at the soldiers behind him, stretched out his hand and made a gesture.
The few soldiers behind him squeezed their horses' bellies tightly.
Holding a long knife in his hand, his eyes became sharp, and his aura suddenly changed!
The warhorse in the queue nearby, which was originally shaking its head, fixed its eyes.
He suddenly raised his head and stared ahead vigilantly, as if he had sensed danger.
Dibaonu took a deep breath and looked expectant.
But the next moment, something happened that caught him off guard.
Lu Yunyi suddenly drew out his long sword, accompanied by a thunderous shout: "Kill!"
The sound of a long sword being unsheathed resounded through the air.
The soldiers' pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needles, their facial features became ferocious, and they shouted in unison:
"kill!"
When the deafening sound of the word "kill" rang out, the entire army seemed to tremble.
The warhorse swung its hooves unconsciously, its huge eyes filled with anxiety, and a neighing sounded.
The sound was like thunder, piercing the sky, shaking the earth, and gradually gathered into a torrent.
It's like a river bursting its banks, surging and unstoppable.
The more than a thousand soldiers in front of them felt a chill in their hearts for no reason.
His whole body was tense, and fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.
In an instant, the entire battle formation became chaotic, completely different from the order just now.
Everyone could see their panic.
You can even see a few long swords falling to the ground, making crisp sounds.
Not only Dibaonu, but even Usar Khan looked unhappy at this moment.
From where he was, he could see almost all the soldiers.
The moment the shouts and cries of killing rang out, they all seemed to panic and looked around helplessly.
When the sound of armor colliding and long swords falling stopped, Lu Yunyi's voice rang out:
"In the battle array of more than a thousand people,
All that could be heard were shouts of killing, howling, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground.
When the whole world is filled with such sounds, even well-trained soldiers will panic.
If one can exert 60% of his/her 100% strength, he/she is already a rare talent.
These soldiers in front of us do not need the Ming army to come.
General Ulan Batu can lead a hundred cavalrymen to charge at will and win the battle."
The scene was silent. Lu Yunyi's voice spread far away and reached the ears of Usar Khan and the princess.
It also reached the ears of the princes and nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and also reached the ears of the soldiers.
Everyone looked at each other, frowning to the extreme.
Even though I was unwilling, I had to admit that Arisleng was right.
