Chapter 16: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest
The vanguard of the migrate team approached the Jin army's haystack, and Xu Chengcai and others used sniper rifles equipped with silencers to take out several peripheral scouts.
Chariots rolled up large clumps of snow and mud, their thunderous roar drowning out the howling northwest wind. In the final five kilometers, all chariots launched a full-scale attack, with Ye Suge leading the cavalry horse team with drawn swords and arrows nocked.
Ye Suge knew that without Qin Sword leading the charge, his troops, no matter how skilled, would not be able to win this plundering war. After three days of relentless pursuit, with little food and even less rest, the Warhorses were severely depleted. In such conditions, even if they had fighting spirit, they were already at their last gasp.
Moreover, accompanied by the northwest wind, the sky covered by heavy clouds once again began to drift with large snowflakes. Against the wind, they may not even withstand a single charge from the Jin army...
Ye Suge even believed that if they couldn't win this battle, his soldiers would be subject to retaliation, and their winding and twisting troops behind them would become easy prey and spoils for the Jin army. The Begging for recognition or appreciation tribe would also cease to exist!
To be honest, their long journey is not just a struggle, but also a gamble, betting that the "envoy of Changshengtian" at the forefront of the team can once again bring them the blessings and protection of Changshengtian.
Inside the Command vehicle, footage captured by the unmanned aerial vehicle shows unusual movements around the golden tents in the grassland, prompting Qin Sword to order an attack.
The operator's command was given, and a small missile flew out from the ammunition rack below the unmanned aerial vehicle. On the monitor, the largest tent of the Jin army turned into scattered ashes in the midst of a violent explosion, with sparks flying. In the northwest wind, the fire was fueled by the wind, and the neighboring tents also ignited into raging flames.
Immediately after, a Mortar was fired, and the observation tower built with giant wood turned into dust in the explosion.
At this time, the organization of the Jin army was combined with society, mainly divided into "Meng'an" and "Mouke". Generally, about a hundred households formed a "Mouke", and about a thousand households formed a "Meng'an".
Ten "Mouke" formed one "Meng'an", with a force of about 2,500 people. Around this grassland, they stationed two "Meng'an" consisting of about 5,000 heavily armed and light cavalry combined.
In the first year of the Jingkang era (1126), the anti-Jin dynasty general Li Gang used thunder crash bombs to repel the attack of the Jin dynasty army in Kaifeng. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin people occupied Kaifeng, the center of gunpowder and firearms production at the time, as well as Zezhou (now Jinzhong, Shanxi), Daming, and other saltpeter-producing areas, and mass-produced and developed various firearms, inventing more powerful iron-cased fireballs, thunderous grenades, and single-use flamethrowers for individual soldiers.
The "History of Jin" describes: "Iron cans filled with medicine, ignited by fire, produce a large explosion, the sound of which is like thunder and can be heard from a hundred miles away. It burns an area of half an acre, and ignites iron and steel armor. The flamethrower developed at the end of the Jin dynasty had been greatly improved. According to records, its structure was made of sixteen layers of yellow paper, about two feet long, filled with willow charcoal, iron dross, magnetite, sulfur, arsenic, and other materials, with a rope tied to the end of the gun. Each soldier carried a small iron container of fire, which they burned in battle, and the flame extended more than ten feet in front of the gun. The medicine was exhausted, but the tube remained undamaged." This was a kind of lightweight single-soldier firearm that could be carried and used conveniently.
If the above description is not very intuitive, you can imagine it by watching the movie "Divine Machine Arrow".
Because this is the largest Pasture grass hoarding ground for the Jin people, in order to ensure its safety, in addition to two "fierce and peaceful" cavalry stationed here, the Jin people also arranged a team of "flamethrowers" with several hundred people. In addition to heavy troops, the Jin people also sent out cavalry scouts for more than thirty miles, but unfortunately these scouts failed to send back a warning. These arrogant Jin people could not imagine that any reckless Mongolia tribe would dare to launch a long-distance raid on their haystack.
unmanned aerial vehicle in the air to indicate the target for Mortar, maximizing the long-range strike capability of this era. Under surveillance, wherever there are gatherings of enemy forces, shells immediately rain down. After a round of strikes, the stationed enemy forces have become uncontrollable. The chaotic soldiers cannot find their own organization, and the leaders cannot find the soldiers under their command.
The "Flamethrower" team wants to be effective, but they cannot see where the enemy is.
Finally, with a rumbling roar, the Iron Monsters charged forward. The "Flamethrower" opened fire, but it was difficult to inflict damage on the chariots with the firearms of this era.
Every firing port of the chariots was ablaze, and there was no sound of battle cries on the entire battlefield, only continuous explosions and the rapid "rat-a-tat" of assault rifles.
Two quarters of an hour later, a fire signal flare exploded in the sky. According to the agreement, Ye Suge's cavalry spread out and pressed forward in a scattered formation!
There's no need to worry about them. At this point, the Jin dynasty army no longer has any resistance, no one can lift a sabre or pull a bowstring.
——For them, the unmanned aerial vehicle guided Mortar is equivalent to laser guidance more than 800 years later, and the roaring chariot is almost unstoppable. The drainage ditches in the camp, those things with iron chains underneath, leap over them, and the half-man-high earthen walls around the stable collapse under the impact of these monsters...
Ye Suge's cavalry pressed forward, and the surviving Jin dynasty army no longer had the spirit or courage to fight back.
Under the view of the unmanned aerial vehicle, there were fleeing warhorses everywhere, and the knights on horseback had lost their arrogance. They didn't even have sabres and bows in their hands. The war was over.
The Herder tribe that arrived first began to set up yurts, and the following tribes, seeing hope, suddenly gained endless strength, accelerating their pace. Those who couldn't walk started to settle nearby directly.
"As long as we win and see the pasture grass, it's all good."
So, with the vast grassland as the center, yurts and felt yurts were set up, cattle and sheep pens were erected, stockpiled cow dung was unloaded, and stoves were set up...
Grandpa Mao said: With grain in hand, there is no need to panic.
With so much pasture grass in front of them, the weary and flustered hearts of people begin to settle down.
As the cooking smoke rises, everything is progressing towards the expected goal.
Maasai Mara has arrived, and this old man is willing to go anywhere with Qin Sword, the "messenger of Changshengtian", even if he is old and frail. He has led the people of the tribe to settle in the southeast direction of the grassland, and wants to ask Qin Sword, the "leader", to inspect his territory and his people.
Unable to resist the old man's repeated invitations, Qin Sword took Hadan Batel and others to walk over on foot.
It looks like a great location with Qin Sword and Hadan Batel: the tall grass in the grassland is perfect for blocking the fierce northwest wind!
Under normal circumstances, this kind of location would never be available to Maasai Mara, but now they are part of Qin Sword...
I made a round of inspection, and the women and children in the tribe all bowed to Qin Sword, the "leader".
Suddenly, a fierce voice came from afar: "You lowly people, who allowed you to camp here? Give up this land, our The Empress Dowager Wode Borjigin has set her sights on it!"
