Chapter 98 Formation

Confronting the river valley with more than 20,000 Qiang warriors, Xiong Jing wanted a place to live in winter, while Qiang people were unwilling to be disturbed by outsiders in the rare peace of the river valley, especially not wanting to risk being retaliated by the Qin people. Unfortunately, trouble has come to the door. If our side refuses, a war will break out between the two sides. Can we win?

Regarding this issue, the Qiang chiefs who retreated to the rear of the military formation started a long debate. Some people believed that the Xia people were unbelievable and could not be taken in. They should fight with them and expel them from the valley; some people believed that even if they could win, they would have to pay a heavy price. Zhi's courtesy was already delivered at this time, and Yi Tong deliberately gave two sets of armor and clothes. The armor and clothes were the same as the style worn by the Chu Zhao knights, and the bronze soldiers of the Qiang people could not be defeated at all.

Instead of doing so, it is better to allow these people to stay temporarily and ask them to leave after the beginning of next spring. As for the iron smelting techniques, armor-making techniques, and boat-making techniques mentioned by the King of Chu, this is indeed not available to the Qiang tribes. If these techniques can be obtained and alliances with the Chu people, it will be extremely beneficial to the Qiang tribes.

At this time, a small snow began to fall in the sky, including Xiong Jing. The soldiers of the two armies stood in the snow and waited for the Qiang people to argue. Although the tribes had different opinions, the one who really decided to fight or not was the hero in the chariot. He kept holding Xiong Jing's sword, just waiting for all the chiefs to finish the discussion, and he also kept holding the person.

"What does Dahao mean?" The examiner looked at him. He could only provide advice. In the end, it was Dahao who made the decision.

"The Chu people are really close to me, Qiang people?" The question asked by Dahao was beyond imagination by the practitioner.

"According to the ancient books of the Xia people, the Chu people came from Emperor Yan, who was the great hero of the ancient Qiang people, so he did have relatives with me. However, the Zhou people also had relatives with me Qiang people, but after entering Xia, they regarded the Qiang people as enemies." The man was also a Xia people, and he fell to this point. "The sayings of his relatives confuses me, and the great heroes should not believe it."

"Then you should be driven out of the valley." Dahao's eyes became fierce again. There were only more than 2,000 people on the other side and more than 20,000 people on his own.

"I thought it would not be the case." The monk has lived in Qiang for a long time, and his memory of the countries below the world is still at Xinlingjun to save Zhao. "You can let him live in the lower reaches of the river valley and give him food and fodder to exchange for armor and horses."

The art of iron smelting, armor-making, and boat-making techniques are indeed important, but the faith and righteousness of the Xia people are all very distant things, far less than the powerful armored soldiers on the Chu people and the tall dragon and horse under their crotch. If the Chu people keep their promises, they can only obtain the art of iron smelting, armor-making techniques, and boat-making techniques; if the Chu people do not keep their promises, they will not get nothing.

"You can get armored soldiers and horses when fighting." For some reason, the great hero seemed to really want to fight.

"The Chu people are strong and powerful, and they have unknown magical weapons. They have never robbed them all the way. Has the great hero seen such a Xia person?" asked the examiner.

When Dahao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then shook his head. If the person who came was a Qin, they had already killed and robbed the dead and killed the head of the dead, but the Chu people did not. They presented gifts, hoping that they could agree to stay here for a winter and be willing to pay.

"Let them live in the lower reaches of the valley for a winter." Dahao decided so, and the chiefs were happy and worried.

"The king's soldiers should not move forward again." The archer became an envoy, and he came to inform the result. "The Qiang people gave the king food and fodder, and the king gave the Qiang people armor, soldiers and war horses..."

"Is gold and silver okay?" The Qiang people's idea of ​​fighting armor and dragon horses was something Xiong Jing could think of. "I still don't know the name of the gentleman."

"Wu's nameless. If the king is inconvenient to call him, he can call me a shop." The man's tone stopped. Even if he had followed the Qiang customs, he was still a Xia person. "Gold and silver are naturally fine, but he is very proud to get the king's armor and warriors and dragon horses."

"King, how can I give you armor and war horses, kings, and those Rongdi?" Among the Qiang people, there were chiefs with different opinions, and Xiong Jing also had generals and knights who wanted to fight with him.

"King, I think that although there are many Qiang people, they are not enough to fight." Li Qi also said. "With the combat power of our army..."

"Ten dragon horses, hundreds of armored soldiers, and hundreds of pounds of gold." Xiong Jing did not explain anything, and said so. "Next spring, the great hero can send someone to Chu to learn the art of smelting iron and making armor."

"It's too little." The negotiations turned into business, and the peddler said: "Fifty dragons and horses, five hundred sets of armor, and hundreds of gold."

"Twenty-seven dragon and horses, three hundred and fifteen sets of soldiers and armor, and hundreds of gold." Xiong Jing reported the final number, which was the horses and armor left by the soldiers who were injured and killed in battle. "I will be able to go to Zhao State next year with the unspoken people."

"State of Zhao?" The slayer was puzzled. He had been away from the Central Plains for a long time.

"Of course." Xiong Jing said. "The sea boats of Chu State connect to Yan and Zhao, and Zhao State has destroyed Yan State, and all the things needed by the foot can be transported to Yan."

"It's so." The slayer was imagining the situation in the world and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. "Good." After a while, he quickly agreed to Xiong Jing's conditions and was carried back by the Qiang people.

"Oh!" Seeing the archer return to the formation, Li Qi said unfinished words, "The Qiang people are Rongdi, Rongdi, and Rongdi will never get tired of it. If they regret it with my armored dragon horses and regret it, I still need to fight with him."

"War with me, then the Qin people knew I was here and led troops to attack?" Xiong Jing gave him a blank look.

"What the king said is very good, it is easy to fight with Rongdi people, and it is difficult not to tell them to the Qin people." Li Bo supported Xiong Jing's opinion. This place is only 500 miles away from the Qin people's Didaoyi, and less than 300 miles away from Baohan (now Baohan Town, Linxia), which the Qin people conquered for a short time. As long as the Qiang people were interested, the news that they were in the Huangshui River Valley would reach Xianyang in just one day.

While Li Bo was speaking, the Qiang people, the great heroes of the Qiang people and the chiefs of various tribes, had already stepped forward. They walked between the two armies and began to wait for Xiong Jing to come forward. This was to make an alliance according to the agreement just now, thinking that it was a pledge. Although the Qiang people's oath was different from the Chu people, it was similar.

After the blood was over, the soldiers on both sides did not retreat, but set up a meal on the spot. The Qiang people's great hero, the chieftain, Xiong Jing and others held a banquet in the shelter of the river valley. At this time, Xiong Jing learned that the Qiang people's great hero was named Shi, and he was the seventh generation grandson of Yuan Jian. The Qiang people were landlords, and the wine and food were provided by the Qiang people. The Chu Zhao soldiers who had traveled more than a thousand miles finally drank the wine.

"The king carried out the unsuccessful actions of King Wuling of Zhao in the past, and shot and killed the King of Qin again. This was a brave man." During the meal, the attendants kept inquiring about the situation of the countries in the world. After hearing this, they knew that the Qin State was becoming more and more prosperous and almost swept the world. The Chu and Zhao knights attacked Qin from outside the border and shot and killed the King of Qin. This news made the chief of the Qiang people very happy.

Only Xiong Jing knew about the fact that the King of Qin was not dead. Xiang Chao drank too much barley wine and talked nonsense, and told the news that the King of Qin had been shot to death. Xiong Jing said: "Asking an arrow does not mean death, it may be just a shooting injury. The Qiang people live here, which is too close to the Qin people, and..."

The Qiang people just performed a dance - it was not the Qiang women. The biggest difference between the Qiang people and the Di people on the grassland is that women cannot sleep casually or show up casually. The one who performed a dance just now was a group of tribal warriors wearing leather armor. Dance is actually a fighting skill. With Xiong Jing's eyes, the Qiang people's formation skills are not much better than Baiyue.

"What do you think?" Any escaped slave can become a great hero when he runs to Qiang land, and any practitioner can become a strategist who influences tribe decision-making. There is a huge civilization gap between the Qiang land and the following countries in the world. The chief may not value the suggestions of Xiong Jing and others, but the practitioners attach great importance to it.

"Maybe you can teach you a set of formations." Xiong Jing thought for a while and said this.

"Formation?" The archer thought Xiong Jing had some good plans, but he didn't expect it was a formation.

"Do you think the Qiang people are not as good as the Qin people?" Shi vaguely understood Yayan. He knew what the formation was.

"Although the Qiang people are brave, their tactics are too bad." Xiong Jing's statement is not unfounded. Mountain tribes are very brave in fighting. However, with the level of civilization of the Qiang people, their formations and tactics must be inferior. "If the great heroes don't believe it, they can give it a try."

"Hmph!" Shi shouted unhappily. The banquet, which was originally harmonious, suddenly became silent. Gui Jing and others who had been keeping alert had already held their swords. "Is the King of Chu bullying me, the Qiang people brave?"

"It's not that the Qiang people are not brave, but that the formation is too bad." Xiong Jing said. "I don't think that if the Qiang people want to control the Qin people, they must learn the formation and warfare again. If this is not the case, there is no way to control the Qin people."

"I am willing to fight you." As a great hero, Shi Wenxiong Jing's words were unhappy, and the Qiang chiefs present were also unhappy. Several chiefs who had originally opposed the intake of Chu people and thought that they would cause trouble stood up, and they called themselves Erme.

"Then thirty people will use leather armor and bronze soldiers against thirty people, how about it?" Xiong Jing said. Li Bo seemed uneasy, he was unmoved.

"Okay." The Chu people rely on weapons. If they use copper weapons like Qiang warriors, the chiefs would not feel that they would not win.

"Why is the king like this?" Both sides were summoning warriors, and Li Bo was very uneasy about Xiong Jing's actions.

Before Xiong Jing answered his question, Li Qi said, "How can you establish your authority if you don't do this?"

Of course, Xiong Jing was considering the establishment of authority, but this was not the main reason. What he really thought in his heart was that the Qiang tribe in front of him was very similar to the Chu people before. The Chu people were forced to migrate repeatedly by the Yin people, and they were forced to migrate repeatedly by the Qin people. This situation made him feel sympathetic and compassionate.

While Li Qi and Li Bo were answering, Zhuang Quji led 30 sanitation knights forward. Of course, they were not holding spears, but holding round shields. The huge iron short sword in their hands was replaced with a copper sword that was not very convenient after the Qiang warriors arrived. The ring armor on their bodies retreated, and the thirty people were arranged in three rows to confront the Qiang warriors who had no queue.

The Qiang people rushed forward bravely, but were held back by the shield. Then the bronze sword stabbed directly under the shield. In just one round, half of the thirty Qiang warriors fell, and half of the remaining half knew they were about to die. After slightly injuring two knights, all the remaining Qiang people fell.

"Fight again!" The results of the battle are so disparate, so Shi asked to fight again. Of course, it is possible to fight again, but if you fight again, except for the more injured knights, all thirty Qiang people fell down. However, this time, due to fatigue, the three-line array of sanitation was rotated. Not to mention the Qiang people, even the Zhao people were shocked. During the battle, unless the front row soldiers fell down, the ranks would always be in the back row. The front row and the back rows could be reincarnated, which means that the first row was always energetic soldiers.
