Chapter 65: Changing the Battle Plan
After detecting that there might be a tribe inhabited by Hu herdsmen in front of him, Meng Tian ordered everyone to dismount and march on foot, in case the enemy heard the sound of the horses' hooves. Everyone dismounted, and Zhao Li still led people in front to explore the way for the team behind.
After continuing to walk for a few miles, Zhao Li sent someone to report back and found traces of Hu people in front of him. Meng Tian ordered everyone to prepare for battle, and on the one hand, he asked Zhao Li to continue to go to the front to investigate and see how many Hu people were in front. After a while, Zhao Li sent someone to report that there was a small tribe in front, and looking at the flags and totem statues in the tribe, it should belong to Rong Di's branch, and the number was about two or three hundred.
Hearing that there were only more than 300 Hu people in front of him, Meng Tian immediately decided to surround this tribe. Meng Tian recalled Zhao Li, and after careful questioning, he ordered everyone to mount their horses, wanting this tribe of the Rongdi people to charge. After hearing the commander's order, everyone rode on their horses, their weapons unsheathed, and then Meng Tian rode first, and then Zhao Li and Du Hui followed, killing the Hu people in front.
In the Rongdi tribe, the domesticated hound guarding the horses and sheepfolds suddenly barked without warning, and then the Rongdi people in the tribe heard the sound of horses' hooves quickly from far and near, and then saw a group of knights rushing over on horseback. The Rong Di man standing on the outskirts of the tribe was the first to see the comer, and after seeing the enemy's dress clearly, he knew that the enemy was dead, and just wanted to turn his head and shout a warning to the tribesmen, but unfortunately before he could react, a bow and arrow shot through his heart.
Meng Tian rode the black wind at the front of the team, and after seeing the Rongdi people in front of him wanting to warn the Rongdi people in the tribe, he was ready to take out the bow and arrow behind him to shoot. As soon as Meng Tian put the bow and arrow on the winding, he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air in his ears, and an arrow passed through his ear and was inserted into the chest of the Rongdi man with unmistakable accuracy. Meng Tian didn't need to look back to know that it was Zhao Li behind him who shot this arrow, and sure enough, he was born as a killer and shot cleanly.
By the time the Rongdi people in the tribe discovered the enemy, it was too late, and Meng Tian and the people behind him had already surrounded the place on horseback. There were sturdy adult Rong Di men in the tribe who took up arms and tried to resist, but Zhao Li cut off their heads with a knife, and then several Rong Di men who tried to resist were killed. A child who looked to be only about ten years old saw his Abba being killed, and despite his mother's obstruction, he ran to Abba who was lying in a pool of blood, picked up the weapon in his father's hand and slashed at his Abba killer.
Seeing that the child wanted to kill himself, the soldier continued to raise the knife in his hand and prepared to kill the child. When Meng Tian saw it, he shouted to stop, and the soldier saw the commander give the order, so he did not kill the child directly, but blocked the knife in his hand, and then kicked the child back to his grandmother. The child's grandmother was already frightened when she saw her husband killed, and then her own child was kicked back and fainted on the ground, so frightened that she quickly held her child in her arms, and then looked at these enemies in front of her with frightened eyes.
After stopping the soldier, he didn't say much about his own soldier kicking him back, Meng Tian didn't say much, the Qin and Hu people were enemies, and besides, this kid would definitely avenge his Abba when he grew up in the future, and instead of more Qin people dying at his hands in the future, he was already very kind now that he didn't let his soldiers kill him.
After killing a few men who tried to resist, there was no one in the tribe to resist anymore. Even on the grassland, the plundering and killing of races is a common thing, the Xiongnu, Rongdi, Da Yue, and the Qiang people, several large tribes invade back and forth, today you sack my tribe, tomorrow I slaughter a tribe is a common thing.
The elderly, women, and children of this tribe were all gathered in the open space in the middle of the tribe, and Meng Tian wondered how this tribe should not be considered a small tribe, why there were only a few adult men. So Meng Tian called a soldier who was proficient in the Hu language and asked him to ask them where the men in the tribe had gone. The soldier asked the remaining old and weak women and children in Rongdi, and when he heard that someone on the other side could speak his own language, an elderly man walked up to himself
