660 Beating Sap (8)

The fat man didn't seem to care about what was happening outside. He was chatting with Maumo Wenless with a serious face about the war between the East Court Cavalry and the Redians in Borrigan.

Because the heavy rain had soaked his clothes, Konwei bought some dry wood from a nearby caravan and lit a fire in the recess of the cliff where he could hide from the rain. The fat man used a wooden stick to plan the fire in front of him. , the red firelight shines on the face, looking a little unreal,

"I know that you have stayed in the East Courtyard and have also been to the northern territory of Ruidian. Based on your experience, who will win in the collision between the strong bow of the East Courtyard and the spear of Ruidian?"

The fat man tilted his head and asked this question to Momo Wenlis, who looked nervous in front of him.

Isn't it something I can consider?" Momo Wenlis was a little at a loss. This question was too sudden and too far away from his identity.

I am just a small businessman. Do I need to consider such a national event? Of course, in front of the fat man, he did not dare to say this. He hesitated for a while before saying

"It should be that Dongting Qiang Gong is slightly better."

"Oh? Why do you think so?" The fat man raised his head with some astonishment on his face. Momo Wenlis's answer surprised him. You must know that according to the report of the Supervision Department, the fat man had already determined that this Battle of Borrigan should be It will end with the victory of the Redians,

Although Dongting dispatched almost all the black-armored cavalry, judging from some recent battles, the Ruidian infantry group wearing heavy armor is indeed the nemesis of the Dongting cavalry.

These heavily armored legions, armed like tortoise shells, slowly advanced in dense square formations on the battlefield, like solid square fortresses.

In the front is the shield bearer, and in the back is the four-meter spear specially used to deal with cavalry. Because this kind of spear is too long and difficult to balance, it is erected high when moving. In the middle is the archer responsible for driving away.

When encountering the impact of the Dongting Cavalry, they will immediately move to the center and use spears and bows to counter the attack of the Dongting Cavalry. It is said that the effect is quite good. In Borrigan, which has a relatively flat terrain, this multi-functional phalanx is like a collection. In order to use the mobile fortress for distant and close combat, several large-scale attacks by the Dongting Cavalry were ineffective. Instead, they were like compressed hatred, being squeezed and difficult to unfold.

Even the black-armored archers among the Dongting cavalry, who are good at long-range attacks, can only wander around outside the array in vain, causing some insignificant damage with the bows and arrows in their hands.

It can be seen from the above that Plais, who commanded the battle, is indeed a veteran in the use of infantry tactics. He looked for the weaknesses of the Dongting people and brought into play the strengths of the Ruidian Army.

This unique turtle formation he invented has even been compared with the longbow sniper formation of the Vecians as the "Spear and Shield of Ikadiva" by many people.

One is the sharpest attack formation, while the other is the strongest defensive formation. Coupled with the strong combat power shown by Ruidian's First Knights, the Dongting people's cavalry advantage has been greatly weakened.

If there is enough time, Plais, who relies on stability to advance the front, is indeed very likely to squeeze the Dongting people out of Borrigan bit by bit.

What. "It's a kind of intuition, right?"

Momo Wenlis seemed a little at a loss under the fat man's gaze. The fat man's black pupils were like the stars in the dark night, which made people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

His voice stopped, and he said with emotion, "Ruidian's cavalry regiment is no longer what it used to be. If it were the Northern Army in its heyday, or the commander was still the experienced Duke Berlant, the East Court Cavalry I would never dare to go south.

At that time, the Northern Army was full of stars. It had not only young generals who were cutting-edge and good at fighting, but also experienced generals who were good at commanding, not to mention famous generals like Kurds with lances and Somiya the grassland foxes. But even so , the Northern Army did not dare to say that it could completely defeat the Dongting Cavalry.

However, most of the people participating in the Battle of Borrigan this time were newly recruited recruits, and most of the commanders were middle-level officers with little experience.

If the attack goes well, it's easier to say. If it fails, I'm afraid the whole army will be shaken immediately.

But the Dongting Cavalry is completely different. They are all elites trained by the Royal Court for many years. Although they have suffered some defeats, their vigor has not diminished at all.

The main force still has more than 40,000 cavalry groups.

The Dongting cavalry gave up a lot of places so happily, but doesn't this mean that the number of troops that the Dongting people can invest at one time is increasing, and the Ruidian people's defense line is being lengthened invisibly?

This is just like us businessmen, who give up a loss-making transaction and recover the funds for one more transaction and make a lot of money."

"What you say seems to make sense."

The fat man nodded when he heard it. Yes, Momo Wenlis's statement was very unique, but it was very logical. This was also where the fat man had been confused. The Dongting cavalry retreated a bit fast. At this speed, The Dongting people's offensive was completely contained, and they had no choice but to retreat to the Dongting Grassland.

But if that's the case, wouldn't it be unnecessary for Dongting to send reinforcements? Such a loss-making thing is not like the work of King Dongting Khan who has always been good at fighting the autumn wind.

You must be waiting for something, right? The fat man stood up while talking to himself, looking at the rain curtain outside with a confused look. There was nothing worry-free on either side.

One is Prais, a geek who is experienced and eclectic in tactics, and the other is Bogor Zamu, the famous general of the East Courtyard who is known for his sharp attacks and whose cavalry is like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

One was a spear, the other was a shield, and they fought fiercely against each other for a whole winter. Fatty originally thought that there would be a life-and-death show, but who knew that it would turn out to be such an uncreative offensive and defensive battle?

The stalemate and slow battle between the two sides is like two shy people who wish they could never meet each other.

The turtle tactics of the Ruidian people are quite stable. Unless something unexpected happens, the expectations of this famous Dongting general will be disappointed. The fat man sighed.

Several businessmen who were soaked by the rain seemed to have discovered this shelter. They staggered towards this direction. A guard wanted to stop them, but the fat man waved to stop them.

One of the businessmen asked hesitantly, "It's raining too hard. There are puddles all over the road, and the carriage is stuck in them. I wonder if I can hide here?"

"Of course, it is a great honor to be able to relieve the fatigue of traveling businessmen."

The fat man greeted them kindly and looked at the attire of these businessmen. Although they were wearing relatively common fabric clothes instead of the leather sweaters that the Kugits were accustomed to, the broad forehead and the slender hair on both sides undoubtedly proved that The identities of these businessmen,

"Are you all Kugits?" The fat man asked the businessmen to sit down and asked curiously,

"Yes, my name is Aserge, from the Boxi Prairie of Ye"

A middle-aged Kugit man sitting cross-legged hesitated for a moment before bending down and saluting. His behavior and language were a bit unfamiliar. It looked like he had just become a businessman. The other businessmen just sat behind him with silent expressions. , like a half arc surrounding him

It can be seen that this Kugit businessman has a unique identity and should be the leader of a certain tribe. When the leader speaks, everyone must remain silent. This is the rule of the Kugit tribe.

"Aserge of Boxi Grassland? I remember that it was the name of a leader of a large tribe with 30,000 people. Your horse farm should be closer to the east. The water and grass there are good this year, and there are no wars for the time being. Does it also require the leader to personally Are you going to do business?" the fat man said with a smile on his face.

Tevalin is the closest connection point to the northern steppes. It is not surprising to see the leader of the Kugit tribe.

"Do you know me?" Aserge's dark and rough face was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Tevarin would be recognized in Ye. His simple face looked a little embarrassed, and he shook his head helplessly.

"It's not all caused by this year's rainy season. The entire racecourse is full of water, and even the flying horse hooves can stay in the mud on the ground. If the hoarded leather goods are not transported out, they will become moldy at home. By then, it will be all over the season. Even the clan leader has to work hard to make a living after losing all his money. The women and children at home are still waiting for us to return with food."

"Oh? It's raining there too?

The fat man's eyebrows twitched upward slightly. The heavy rainstorm on the grassland was not like here. It came as soon as you said it, just like a big basin of water suddenly pouring down. In the face of such bad weather,

The grassland will be muddy, and livestock will not be able to graze. If there is a terrible hurricane, the people and livestock will be swept to places where they cannot find it.

For the grassland tribes, the losses were no less than the losses of a small war. I am afraid that many tribes will be affected by this heavy rain. Thinking of this, the fat man felt a little depressed, and he still had a kurt on his head. Where's Kit's crown?

"Yes, every year at this time, the god of rainstorms, Bekisi, will set foot on the road across the Kilianret Mountains from the Higgs Grassland in the northeast." The tribal leader named Aserge responded with a solemn expression. "At that time , the heavy rain season in the grassland will also follow, and the heavy rain will Our tents were also unable to withstand the weather, and were occasionally mixed with hail that could kill livestock. In order to prevent the hoarded furs from becoming moldy, we all set out from the pasture a month in advance because the journey was the longest. When we arrived here, It’s when the heavy rainy season comes”

"Oh, a month ago..." The fat man's heart was touched. A month ago, Dongting's reinforcements happened to go south. A month ago, the Battle of Rebogen entered a stalemate period between the two sides. A month ago, the Dongting cavalry was fighting in the Ming Dynasty. Without losing ground, he slowly gathered strength.

This is too coincidental, right? Could it be that the Dongting people have been acting for a month? In fact, what we are really waiting for is this long expected rainy season in the north. ..
