Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 604 Preparing for the Battle of the Jie Clan 2
The old man Bai and the others didn't know what happened in the tent outside. Aleqiu can be regarded as a person who has experienced life and death. In front of Gongsun Xu, he knew that he had no room to bargain. Besides, until now, Gongsun Xu has not shown What malice.

Not long after, the old man Bai and others were invited in again. At this time, together with Aleqiu's trusted brothers, they were all standing on the side of the big tent, looking like the people in the big tent. Guards are about the same.

Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "I'm lucky today. My twelve zodiac guards are almost gathered together. Moreover, Aleqiu also brought us important information. The Jie people are less than a hundred miles away from us. They Coming soon, war is about to break out.

Everyone, after you go back today, settle down the old, weak, women and children in the tribe. I want to lead the army to fight the enemy outside the valley to the death. I don’t have much confidence in this battle, but I believe that evil can prevail, as long as we can persevere, Ultimate victory will surely belong to us.

However, just in case, I still have to make two preparations. I have almost built the defense in the valley. When the war breaks out, you don't have to come to the front line in person, but you must mobilize everyone to help deliver supplies.After all, this war concerns everyone's safety, and each of us must participate. "

"Follow the lord's order." Everyone clasped their hands and replied, "With the lord here, the Jie clan will surely be defeated."

"Okay, with everyone's help, why not worry about the big things not being done." Gongsun Xu said happily: "Aleqiu and others stayed to discuss things with me. I have a task for you. Lao Bai, your task is not light. Go back Then take care of the logistics."

After everyone took orders to leave, Gongsun Xu said to Aleqiu and the others: "I don't know you very well, but since you are all members of the Antelope tribe, I won't do anything to you, just, I hope you can understand the current situation.

I have no enmity with the prairie tribes. It is actually the Xiongnu Shanyu who persecuted me again and again. Although I fought with you at the beginning, it was all for the master. You are also controlled by others. I don’t need to care about you. Now we have a common Your enemies, you also just escaped from the Jie tribe, so you naturally know how powerful they are, I need you to cooperate with me.

I was entrusted by more than a dozen leaders to serve as the leader of the alliance, in order to ensure the safety within a radius of five hundred miles. From today onwards, you are my servants, and together with the few servants I accepted before, I will form my ten The second zodiac, Xiao Wei, are you willing? "

"The villain is willing." Ale Qiu and the others quickly knelt down and said, "The villain sees the master."

"Okay, I assure you that your family members and tribesmen will benefit from your choices today." Gongsun Xu said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will let someone familiarize you with military affairs. Each of you will temporarily lead a hundred soldiers." , I estimate that within five days there will be a battle with the enemy, and you will also have to go to the battlefield by then.

Follow me and be loyal to me. I will guarantee the glory, wealth and status of all of you. However, if any of you have the slightest selfishness, I will not forgive you lightly. I hope that none of you will come to test my anger. Remember , the grassland tribes may prosper because of you. "

Ale Qiu and the others knelt on the ground and didn't dare to shout. Gongsun Xu's big stick and sweet dates have subdued them now. In fact, there is no doubt about it. After all, Ale Qiu and the others are nothing in front of Gongsun Xu If it weren't for the old man Bai and the others, Gongsun Xu might have secretly executed them.

After dawn, more information about the enemy was sent over. The marching speed of the Jie tribe was not very fast. After all, they had so many captives and livestock, and the weather was bad. They could advance two or three times a day. Ten miles is not bad, it also gave Gongsunxu enough time to prepare.

Outside the valley, Gongsun Xu was instructing everyone to clean up the site. He had already set this place as the main battlefield. Regardless of whether the enemy attacked or not, Gongsun Xu would only line up here and wait for the enemy. If the enemy gave up attacking the valley, Gongsun Xu also intends to spend with them.

"In a few days, you will have to face the enemy's attack, and the tribesmen in the valley will rely on you to protect them. I don't know how many of you will survive, but I tell you, as long as you are brave enough, the enemy will surely I will be defeated." Gongsun Ce rode his horse and shouted at the 4000 people who had already lined up: "Now, listen to my orders."

These 4000 people are archers selected by Gongsun Xu from the eight thousand warriors. The Twelve Zodiac Guards picked 2000 people to defend the valley, and Gongsun Xu sent another 2000 people to Commander Gongsun Ran. Trained to deal with the main force of the enemy cavalry.

"Blow the horn and let them attack." Gongsun Xu ordered to Aaron beside him: "This is an exercise, and it is also an actual combat. Everyone must treat it with [-] points."

The sound of desolate horns sounded in the wilderness. Five hundred paces away from the valley, six thousand cavalrymen began to drive away their horses, led by Gongsun Ran. They have all been trained for a long time, and they can be regarded as an elite team at this time.

The shock brought by the galloping horses came quickly, and the four thousand archers lined up outside the mouth of the valley were still standing there, and Gongsun Xu had been watching every move of the four thousand archers.

"They are coming..." I don't know who shouted this sentence, I saw six thousand cavalry appeared in front of me, thousands of horses galloped forward, and four thousand archers were like sailing ships in the sea at this time , is in danger of being sunk at any time.

"The first team is ready." Under the signal of Gongsun Xu, Aaron waved the military flag and shouted: "Let go, the second team is ready, the third team..."

After Gongsun Ran and others had reached the shooting range today, the four thousand archers here began to shoot in turn. However, none of the arrows they shot had arrowheads and were wrapped in cloth strips. Moreover, the six thousand cavalry led by Gongsun Ran were basically in armor. , although it was just a simple battle armor made by Gongsun Xu, the key parts were still blocked by thick iron plates.

Round after round of arrows were shot, and when the distance between the two sides was less than thirty steps, someone on the side of the archer couldn't hold on anymore. More than a dozen people dropped their bows and arrows and ran back suddenly. The scene of tens of thousands of horses galloping was too frightening , these archers blocked the way of the cavalry charging, they were afraid that the cavalry would rush over, so they fled first.

However, the cavalry in front had already started to slow down, and when the distance between the two sides was more than ten steps, all the cavalry stopped, and most of the remaining archers here were still frightened. There is not much difference, the only difference is that they have not been trampled to death for the time being.

"Bring them all up." Gongsun Xuyin ordered with a sullen face: "I don't need cowards, let all the leaders come here."

Soon, the dozens of deserters were brought up. All the leaders stood aside and watched. Two leaders lowered their heads at this time. It seemed that among these deserters were warriors from their tribe.

"I know that the Jie people are terrible." Gongsun Xu roared: "I also know that you all have family members and concerns, but this is not a reason for you to run away. If you really don't want your family members to be massacred and killed by the enemy ***, then you should stand up and resist instead of running away in the face of danger.

This is just an exercise, and one exercise made you so afraid, how long can you last in actual combat, warriors, if you all want to survive by yourself and let others die, then I can be very responsible Tell you, you have lost, the enemy will soon come in, and your families will soon be slaves. "

Everyone couldn't hold their heads up when Gongsun Xu said it. Indeed, many of them did have this kind of thought, after all, no one wanted to die.

"Being my soldier, you have to obey my orders." Gongsun Xu looked at the dozens of deserters and said, "There is no joke in the army. If you become a deserter in the exercise today, you will also be defeated on the battlefield tomorrow. Whoever is their leader, stand up."

The two leaders came out blushing and knelt in front of Gongsun Xu. Now Gongsun Xu has absolute power to do anything, including beheading these dozen deserters.

"You trust me and entrust your subordinates to my command. I should be responsible for your trust." Gongsun Xu said: "However, I can't command these soldiers anymore. If I kill them now, it will be against you again." Your disrespect, bring back the warriors of your tribe.

After this battle, the materials that your two tribes should share will be reduced by three layers.What happened today, let everyone be a witness, it’s not that I’m ruthless, but that there is a rule in the army, whoever dares to be a deserter next time, I will kill him and his family together, you, can you obey? "

Everyone knelt down and didn't dare to speak. This was the first time Gongsun Xu made such a big fuss, and he also said such cruel words. Anyone who dared to be a deserter would kill his whole family. This move was indeed too cruel. However, everyone present No one refuted it, not only because they didn't dare, but more because Gongsun Xu did the right thing. If everyone was deserting like this, then there was really no need for this battle.

The army has always only respected warriors and despised cowards, especially for these grassland warriors. Therefore, they have no complaints about Gongsun Xu's treatment of these deserters today. Moreover, Gongsun Xu is doing it for everyone's benefit.

"The exercise continues, Gongsun Ran. Now, lead your cavalry and prepare to ride and shoot." Gongsun Xu ordered: "Infantry soldiers obey the command. No matter what happens to you, everyone must stick to their posts. Only obey orders , to defeat the enemy."

Without complaining or hesitation, everyone quickly entered their posts to conduct exercises. Gongsun Xu wanted everyone to understand their mission. This is a war, not a trifling matter. main idea.

Faced with this kind of attack by thousands of troops, the archers seemed scared at first, but after a few exercises, everyone began to adapt to this method of warfare.Gongsun Xu gradually became satisfied with the performance of the archers. It seemed that Gongsun Xu was already confident in the battle with the enemy.
