The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 221 Gambling Fight 2
Outside the city of Xining is the endless Loess Plateau, where the north wind howls, and dozens of black dragon flags flutter and flutter.

Jiang Shi has already set up a defensive position under the city, and 20 cavalry are in front of the defensive position, confronting the [-] nomadic cavalry on the opposite side.

Jiang Shi changed from his usual indifference and smiled to negotiate with these tribal leaders.

The leader of the Turpan Department and Tudar looked at each other, both of them were inexplicably shocked, and their momentum was more than a little weaker.

The main reason is that the armored cavalry on the opposite side put a lot of pressure on them. Those cavalry wore armor that exuded dazzling metal light, only showing a pair of iron-blooded eyes, and they were motionless. Moreover, their horses were one head higher than their own. With great advantages, it is obviously the elite cavalry of Ming Dynasty.

"When did Ming Dynasty have such sharp cavalry? No wonder it was able to drive away the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty."

They secretly rejoiced that they did not act rashly, but for the honor of the tribe, they would not be timid to fight.

Most of the cavalry under their command had no armor, or only leather armor, and only a few had iron armor, and these iron armors were obviously not comparable to their opponents.

After half a day of negotiation, in order to reduce casualties, the three parties decided to use three methods to determine the winner or loser: one-man battle, one-hundred-man battle, and one-thousand-man battle. Two out of three rounds is the winner. Any means can be used in the battle until the opponent surrenders or dies. .

The first battle was between Tatar Tumed and Daming.

The Tatar Tumed tribe first fought a burly man with a height of more than 1 meters. He was a recognized warrior of the Tatar Tumed tribe. His name was Babar. Twice, won the applause of the Tatar Tumed cavalry.

In order to ensure victory in the first battle, Tudal gave up the sweat horse he was riding to the warrior.

On the other hand, Daming fought an inconspicuous general. The general was about 1.7 meters tall. Although he was completely wrapped in a large heavy armor, he looked a little thin. It didn't match the tall western heavy horses. He only showed excitement. With bloodthirsty eyes, without saying a word, he was holding the heavy Fang Tian's painted halberd upside down. Fang Tian's painted halberd weighed at least eighty catties, but it seemed weightless in his hands, but the other tiger and leopard riders looked at it in fear. with him.

Jiang Shi couldn't help being a little worried, until Jiang Xin said that this person was Jiang Lang, whose combat power was no less than that of the Young Master, Jiang Shi felt at ease. Negative, he even wounded Jiang Xin and other three masters in one move, which was amazing, but he didn't expect him to join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

He couldn't help but look forward to it.

Babar and Jianglang were 500 meters apart, and with the sound of the roaring war drum, the two rode their horses together.

But within a dozen or so breaths, the two riders were about to collide.

Babar grinned grimly, swung his huge mace and threw it at Jianglang with great vigor.

Jiang Lang smiled playfully, and didn't intend to dodge. He raised Fang Tian's painted halberd made of pure steel and swept across at the mace.

When the sound!
The crisp and loud metal impact sound only penetrated into the hearts of everyone.

The war horse let out a mournful cry, and the mounts under the two of them retreated violently. Jiang Lang became cautious, and drove the war horse again, stabbing at Babar who was flashing towards him.

Babar was about to block, but Jianglang used a false move, aiming directly at the bloody horse Babar was sitting on, Babar was shocked, this is the sweaty horse, if there is any damage, he will not be able to eat it walk.

He hastily blocked, taking this opportunity, the extremely fast Fang Tian's painted halberd swept him off his horse.

When Babar got up, Jiang Lang's Fang Tian painted halberd was already on his shoulder.

Babar closed his eyes immediately, not thinking that Jiang Lang didn't kill him, and returned to the main formation directly.

Babar's expression changed a lot. He didn't expect that this skinny boy was as strong as his own, and he defeated him so quickly. The opponent's speed was obviously faster than his own. Tudar kowtowed a few times, and without taking a weapon, he fell directly beside Jianglang. According to the habits of their tribe, the loser in the betting fight will become the slave of the winner.

Tudar was stunned, and his face was ashen. Babar was already the most powerful warrior on his side, and it was beyond his expectation that he was defeated so quickly.

However, he thought that there were still two more battles, so he finally felt relieved. This time it was a battle of hundreds of people. He selected a hundred warriors from the guards and the commanders of the ten thousand men, so that they would win no matter what, otherwise they would not come back. up.

But this time Jiang Xin didn't dispatch Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but randomly selected a hundred Lancers.

Lancers not only wear helmets and bulletproof vests that protect their faces, but also have a pistol, a gun and a newly forged steel knife. The prototype of the steel knife is the Qijia knife, which is good for chopping.

So they have two cowhide bullet bags and holsters for pistols, and there are holsters for guns on their horses.

To be honest, the gun riders at this time are not very effective in combat. This is mainly due to the gun, and it is difficult to load ammunition on a bumpy horse, unless you use a rear-loading gun and a bullet that integrates the propellant with the warhead, but these have not yet been developed. Come out, in fact, they are now only sharpshooters riding horses, and for the sake of speed, they are not even equipped with tiger crouching guns.

But at this time of gambling, they have already loaded the ammunition.

Seeing that Daming didn't dispatch the terrifying tiger and leopard cavalry, Tudar's expression softened.

The two sides spread out and began to hedge.

After hundreds of meters of acceleration, the speed of the two sides had reached the maximum. When the distance was only a hundred meters away, the warriors of the Tatar Tumet tribe began to draw their bows and shoot arrows. Suddenly, more than ten arrows hit the Lancers and war horses.

But these arrows remained on the horses or soldiers, and none of them fell down. This is because the horses were also wrapped in cotton armor in key places.

In a blink of an eye, the distance was 50 meters. The Lancers decisively released the bullets of the Mielu guns, knocking down more than [-] horses at once. Or because they were divided into horizontal teams, most of them have temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

But because they were approaching in a blink of an eye, the Lancers had no time to fire the bullets of their pistols, so they had to draw out their steel knives.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

The two teams of cavalry collided with each other in a blink of an eye, and each of them had only one chance to swing their swords. If they were slower or faster, they would die.

Puchi... Dang Dang Dang...

Blood spattered five steps, and the swords slashed at each other. When the two teams of cavalry crossed, 15 Lancers fell, while only 53 Tatar Tumed troops remained, and some of them had their scimitars chopped into two pieces. Half, suffered minor injuries.

Without hesitation, they turned their horses' heads again and collided until one side was completely wiped out.

……

Tudal was shocked, he could see that it wasn't that his side was weak, but that the opponent was too strong, especially the shining saber, the battle was doomed, but he didn't call for a stop, and the warriors didn't retreat either.

He wants to use the blood of the warriors to tell everyone, including the Turpan tribe, that the Tumed tribe of Tatar is a brave and bloody tribe.

A few minutes later, all the 41 warriors of the Tumed Department of Tatar were wiped out, and [-] of the [-] Lancers were killed or injured.

Tudal suddenly aged several years, rode his horse and came to Jiang Shi alone, willing to admit defeat. As for the third round of competition, it was no longer necessary.

Jiang Shi comforted him with kind words, and then said seriously: "Khan, don't worry, my lord values ​​heroes the most, and will never treat you badly. As for other matters, we still have to wait for the lord's wishes."

Tudar nodded, and didn't say much tactfully, he knew that the general was waiting for the leader of Turpan.

Jiang Xin was also shocked. He didn't expect that his own equipment far surpassed the opponent's, and he almost suffered more than half of the casualties. Obviously, the opponent's strength is not simple. Fortunately, this time he used a gambling method. Otherwise, even if he wiped out the 20 cavalry present, his subordinates I really don't know how many of the [-] cavalry can be left.

When it was the turn of the Turpan tribe, the leader of Turpan actually asked for another contest tomorrow.

Jiang Shi sneered, and said unkindly: "Everyone is a friend who keeps promises. This general will open your eyes. Everyone, be optimistic about the forest on the right."

Tudar and the leader of Turpan didn't know what mystery Jiang Shi was playing, but they didn't dare to make a mistake at this time.

A wave of command flags was conveyed, and more than 700 cannons arranged behind the infantry positions were already ready.

dong dong dong...

The deafening gunfire sounded immediately, and all the war horses pawed their hooves restlessly. If the knight hadn't held the reins tightly, these war horses would probably run away.

dong dong dong...

Ten rounds of earth-shattering cannons rang out, and rain of iron bullets hit the forest over there. Countless big trees fell to the ground in the entire forest, green smoke and flames were everywhere, and small animals fled crazily, as if the end of the world was coming...

Jiang Shi took the two chiefs of the tribe to visit the woods with a lot of broken branches and sawdust. The leaders of Tudar and Turpan were horrified, and Turpan decided on the spot that they were willing to surrender to King Huaxing.

Only then was Jiang Shi satisfied, and said sternly: "Since we are all our own people, then the materials you need in the future will be sold to you at a fair price, but if you want to be reused by the prince and get a lot of wealth, you need further cooperation , I wonder if you two are willing to listen?"

Tudar and the others felt uneasy, knowing that the meat scene was coming.
