Chapter 1006 Attacking the Mang Tribe

As mentioned before, the Di tribe and the Barbarian tribe are close relatives, and there were times when the two tribes had a good relationship. The cultures and customs of the two tribes have many similarities.

The same goes for words.

But later the two tribes broke up, and some differences became more obvious.

The parchment written on the parchment is Di Clan script, which is somewhat similar to the barbarian script. People who know the barbarian script may recognize it when they see it. Unfortunately, there are no such talents in the Knight Cavalry Army.

Ma De: "We should wait for the people from the Military Intelligence Department to come in together. They must have someone who knows Barbarian Wen."

Pound didn't know the difference between Di script and Barbarian script. He saw that the characters on the parchment looked very similar to Barbarian script, so he recognized Di script as Barbarian script.

The other two didn't say anything even if they thought it was a little different from the barbarian script. Anyway, they didn't know each other, so it didn't matter what tribe's script it was!

The commander of the second regiment threw the parchment in his hand to the deputy general next to him, the deputy commander of the second regiment.

"According to me, no matter what is written in it, it is nothing more than an order to the two cavalry outside. Now that the two cavalry are gone, does what is written in this letter matter?"

Yes, there is no one to receive the letter. Does it matter what is written in the letter?

unimportant!

"Yes, it doesn't matter what this letter says, it's what it represents that matters."

"The leader of the Mang tribe is still writing letters to the cavalry outside, proving that he still doesn't know that the cavalry outside has been wiped out and our actions have not been exposed."

“Great things can happen!”

"Let the detective cavalry find out the location of the Mang tribe first. I was thinking that the sneak attack would be ruined. I didn't expect to give it a try."

As long as the Di tribe didn't notice the Qiaoqi army entering the wasteland, they would have a chance to sneak attack the Mang tribe.

The premise is that it cannot be discovered by people from the Mang tribe.

In order to survive, the 50,000 Mang tribe members live in an area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers. They will only be allowed to gather when the leader orders.

The living habits of the Mang Tribe have both advantages and disadvantages to the actions of the Qiaoqi Army. If the Qiaoqi Army's intelligence is accurate and they act quickly to clean up all the Mang Tribe people on the road, they will not be exposed.

Spreading out means that the resistance is not strong, so accurate intelligence is the first priority.

Only by acting quickly can the scattered Mang tribe members be cleared away.

If only a few people were slow to escape, the leader of the Mang tribe would receive the news, and the Qiaoqi army's surprise attack would turn into a hard attack.

Although he is not afraid of a head-on confrontation with the Cavalry, it is still good if the casualties are not increased.

Pang De: "How is it? Do you want to do it or not?"

The first and second regiment leaders immediately said: "Do it! You must do it!"

Regardless of whether we can successfully raid the core area of ​​the Mang tribe, it doesn't matter if we give it a try.

With the speed of the Knight Cavalry, it would be fine even if they were discovered in advance. They could just retreat.

If you are more adventurous, you may not be able to catch the Mang tribe by surprise if you charge directly towards them.

All three of them decided to raid the Mang tribe, and 4,800 cavalry troops mounted their horses and galloped toward the southwest.

In the wilderness, just like the grassland, the environment in the south is better than in the north.

Even if it's just a few more wild grasses, it's still worth choosing this as the core area for the Mang Tribe.

The exploration cavalry of the Xiaoqi Army has not yet discovered the specific location of the core of the Mang Tribe, but as long as they run southwest along the place where the Mang Tribe people were found, they will be able to find it soon.

Don't worry about getting lost.

Nearly five thousand cavalrymen were galloping across the wasteland. The movement was so loud that the tremors of the earth could be felt ten miles away.

The Di people are also a people on horseback. Although they have not fought with large-scale cavalry for a long time, the instinct buried deep in their blood still prevents them from forgetting the scene of thousands of horses galloping.

"Cavalry! A large group of cavalry!"

"Go and see where the cavalry is coming from. Let the family pack up and retreat to the tribe first!"

The young men of the Di tribe on the periphery first asked their family members in the rear to withdraw to the tribe, and then rushed towards the direction of the heroic cavalry army together.

The people in the periphery of the Mang tribe basically live in one family, or two or three families in one place. The distance between each family is more than ten miles away, and the distance between each family is forty or fifty miles.

The Mang tribesmen within a radius of more than ten miles were alerted by the galloping movement of the Knight Cavalry Army. Either alone or in groups, they greeted the Knight Cavalry Army. They did not want to stop the Knight Cavalry Army, but they came to confirm the identity of the Knight Cavalry Army.

They all knew that the tribe sent cavalry to the grassland. What if the tribe's cavalry came back?

They knew in their hearts that this possibility was unlikely. Such a movement would require at least seven or eight thousand cavalry. The tribe only sent out a total of more than three thousand cavalry, which was twice the difference!

They speculated that this group of cavalry was more likely to be barbarian cavalry, and that the barbarians' surrender of the grasslands was a conspiracy.

Their purpose is to attract tribes to send troops to the grassland, and then gather together to annihilate them.

It can also weaken the tribe's strength, making it easier for them to attack the wasteland.

They are going to expose the barbarian conspiracy!

"You go and report to the leader first. There are six to seven thousand cavalry entering the wasteland. It may be that the barbarians are attacking the wasteland!"

The Di tribe in the periphery went back to report to their leader that a large group of cavalry had entered the wasteland before they saw the heroic cavalry army.

The Knight Rider's plan failed as soon as it started.

The people of the Mang tribe were more vigilant than they expected. It was impossible to make a sneak attack and they could only rush over.

"People from the Mang tribe have discovered us. Should we fight in or retreat first?"

"withdraw?"

"If we retreat before we see the main force of the Mang tribe, then what shame do the three of us have to go back and report to the commander? Our brothers in the army can laugh at us to death."

"That's right, how can a mere Di tribe scare us?"

"Rush over and kill him completely!"

Of course Pang De and the other three would not be scared back by a few Mang tribesmen. Since a sneak attack failed, they would attack by force instead.

A dozen Mang tribesmen were killed by the Tanqi scattered around before they saw the main force of the Xiaoqi army.

Sure enough, relying on a group of stragglers didn't even qualify to see the main force of the Knights.

At this time, the Xiaoqi Army was still four to five hundred miles away from the core area of ​​the Mang Tribe. The old and weak Mang tribe members who discovered the Xiaoqi Army on the periphery tried their best to bring the news back, but how could they be faster than the imperial war horses.

Not even sleeping without rest can compare.

The Qiaoqi Army cleared them all the way, and any young man of the Di tribe they saw could not escape the pursuit of the Qiaoqi.

There is no need for the old and the weak. It would be a waste of time to hunt them down.

However, Pound still left five hundred cavalry to clear out all the Di tribesmen on this road.

Make sure there are no obstacles on their way back.

All Di people are soldiers. When the war begins, men, women and children can go to the battlefield. Children of several years old all have a dagger on their waist.

That is to say, the Di people have the ability to independently forge iron tools, otherwise these children would only have bone knives in their hands.

The barbarians can be regarded as soldiers, but most of the children of small and medium-sized tribes can only wield bone knives.

Because the barbarians had a large number of people and did not have strong forging skills, iron weapons had to be given priority to young adults.

Even if there are wealthy people, they have to be temporarily sealed. Weapons will break if they are used too much, and if they are broken, they will break.

Only a few large barbarian tribes have the ability to forge weapons. Small and medium-sized tribes can only exchange them with iron ore or old weapons!

...

After two days and two nights, the Cavalry Army finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Mang Tribe's territory. At this time, more than 10,000 cavalrymen had gathered in the Mang Tribe camp.

After the leader of the Mang tribe sent someone to deliver the message, he felt uneasy in his heart. In order to feel at ease, he called back most of the young men in the tribe. With more than 10,000 cavalry, he could feel at ease.

Even if the barbarians invade the grassland again, he will not be afraid!
