Soft, Qionglong Ridge

In Rouran, everything related to the dome, the dome, and the dome word is the place where the high-speed car people are. Or the place where the tall riders once lived.

Qionglong Ridge used to be a place where high-speed car people exchanged goods, and a wide dome was built, so it was named so. Most of the mountains outside the fortress are endless mountain ranges, and the Qionglong Ridge is in the middle of the three water veins, backed by the Tianshan Mountains, and is a place where water and grass are extremely lush.

Of course, a place like this where water and grass flourish today is definitely not a place for high-rollers.

Here, now is the place where the Rouran people must pass when grazing, although it is not spring, but there are still many Rouran old and young here to spend the winter.

To the north, there is the royal court of Rouran.

Di Yefei and a group of high-speed car companions set off to Jinshan with Di Zhuzhen's tribe Qingzhuang, bringing a total of more than 200 people. This is a small number in the Gaoche tribe, but the Gaoche people originally had the habit of exchanging goods everywhere, so Di Yefei and a group of people rushed to the Gaoche, carrying some goods that were not too valuable but practical, and were composed of pure young and strong people to rush to Jinshan, which was very in line with the "barter" team of the Gaoche people.

Such a procession is very popular in the steppe, where people can exchange for salt, for sugar, for silk thread, for iron. But if you encounter an unreasonable worm cavalry, I am afraid that things will be robbed. Therefore, the high-chariot teams that come out to "barter" are generally under the banner of their own affiliated tribes.

The Di Zhuzhen tribe who came to defect to the Great Wei was originally subordinate to the territory of Wu Ti, the son of the Rouran Datan Khan, so they used the emblem and banner attached to Wu Ti when they traveled.

Prince Wu Ti is the most likely to win among the heirs of several Khan kings, followed by Prince Wu Ti's uncle Lu Bi, so the worm people are also polite to them when they see the emblem on Di Yefei and the others' high car.

As for whether this emblem is useful? Wu Ti himself probably doesn't remember how many high-car vassals he has. He is the prince of Rouran, born with a small country given by his mother and father, and the tribes looted in the small country are his people, and the population is counted every year, and the property is collected, and it is difficult to calculate it as clearly as the Central Plains.

Di Yefei was wrapped in a thick coat, revealing only half of his face outside. The north side is even colder than the camp in Montenegro, and I go to the toilet in the middle of the night, and I can't untie my trouser belt for half a day, which shows how cold it is. Di Yefei's coat is still provided by a number of people, it looks inconspicuous on the outside, but it is extremely warm on the inside.

They slowly set off in the direction of Jinshan along the place where the high-roller people would nomadize, but they encountered a snowstorm on the way, but fortunately this group of worms rescued them.

They were supposed to set off as soon as the snow was over, but the high-speed car painter who was sent to draw the map in the military tent wanted to stay for a few more days to draw the direction of the Tianshan Mountains and the land of water and grass, so the group pretended that someone was sick and delayed here for a few more days.

Fortunately, they took a lot of furs with them when they set out, and when they arrived here, they exchanged their furs, salt, and wriggling herdsmen for food and paid for their lodging, otherwise they would have been driven out long ago.

This qiē was originally very smooth, until one day a strange guy appeared in the worm.

Di Yefei was wrapped in a leather coat and leaned on the pillar to bask in the sun, and in an instant a shadow appeared in front of him, he raised his eyelids, and saw the unbeaten face in front of him, and really wanted to greet him.

Ahh

Why can't you avoid this kind of thing when you reach Rouran?

"As soon as I saw you, my heart began to sing." The man with a beard squatted in front of Di Yefei. Why is that? It must be because I like you so much."

"I'm a man......" Di Yefei explained for the nth time.

The shepherd claimed to be the hunter of the tribe, and was astonished when he saw him. Obviously, he rarely comes out of the tent, but he just perseveringly comes up to talk to him.

He had already told the painter that he had to leave tomorrow and stay, he was afraid that he would kill the hunter.

"I know you're a man." Sit down with that beard." I just like your face, and even if I know you're a man, I want to look at it twice."

"Whatever you want."

Di Yefei helplessly covered most of his face with his leather coat and continued to bask in the sun.

Anyway, if you look at it, you won't be missing a piece of meat.

"Why did you come out bartering? It's dangerous to travel at this time." The bearded man asked him curiously: "The grassland is full of wolves in winter nights, and there is not enough water and grass in winter, and the herdsmen have gone to the south, what are you doing in the north?"

"We didn't go north, we were rescued here in a snowstorm!" Di Yefei couldn't bear it." We'll be gone in two days! "

"Oh, where are you going?"

"Hui tribe!"

Di Yefei really thought he was verbose, so he stood up and ran to the tent.

"Beauty! Beauty, don't run! "

The bearded man chased after him for a few steps, and suddenly his face changed greatly.

"What's going on over there?"

Di Yefei's footsteps also stopped.

He had been in the camp in Montenegro for so long, and he had long been accustomed to seeing such dust.

That's the dust of the cavalry.

The worms and tall charioters stationed in the Dome Ridge moved quickly, and some of the tribe's men who were good at riding and shooting immediately went out to investigate. He climbed up a long pole in three or two steps and looked in the direction of the dust.

If it was a friend, the cavalry would not have galloped like this, this is obviously a sign of a charge!

The territory of Rouran is not very peaceful, and his own people are also calling around, to.[,! In winter, if food is scarce, either go south to plunder Wei and Liang, or loot the winter's belongings of the small countries and subordinate tribes in the country.

But now that it is early spring, and the coldest winter has long since passed, and the lambs have been born, who will attack at this time?

The worms seemed accustomed to such attacks, and after the horns of the horns of the ox were quickly put away, the cattle and sheep were herded into one place, and the young men mounted their horses and took up what they could use as weapons.

The high-chariot youths who came out with Di Yefei were all men who could fight, plus dozens of high-chariot elite cavalry brought out from the Black Mountain camp, they found Di Yefei, quickly assembled, and threw things into the charioteer's car.

"What the hell is going on? Who attacked the tribes under the Dome Ridge?"

"I don't know." Di Yefei stepped on the war horse, because they were pretending to be a "barter" team, they didn't bring any long weapons, most of them were sabers and short blades, and the most were bows and arrows.

"Shall we withdraw first?"

The tall car painter grimaced and glanced at the creep camp that had begun to move violently. We still have a lot of responsibilities on our shoulders, and there's no reason to live and die with these people."

"What if it's not an enemy?"

"If it's not the enemy, it can't be our ......" A high-ranking soldier immediately lowered his voice in a low voice: "It shouldn't be our people, right?" Where is it so fast."

They've been on the road for a month, and they've only just arrived at Qionglong Ridge. If the Montenegrin battalion marches, even if there is no obstruction, it will take more than a month to get here, after all, you can't throw away all the grain and grass, and if you follow the grain and grass, you won't be able to go anywhere.

After a while, the herdsmen who had inquired about the news rode back to the camp and shouted.

"Not the people of our Khan! It's the Wei people! Tuoba Xianbei's people are here! "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Including the real Wei people.

"How is this possible?"

"It can't be!"

"Which general is so brave?"

Worm and Xianbei have long become feuds, just as Worm thinks about going south to capture and rob Wei all day long, the ordinary herdsmen of Worm also generally have the fear that "one day Tuoba Xianbei will call".

The clothes and armor of the worm are quite different from those of the south, and the hair of the worm war horse is also thicker than that of the south, so the sharp-eyed herdsmen can tell at a glance whether the worm or the high-chariot man is coming.

Knowing that it was the Wei people who arrived, the men of the entire Qionglong Ridge began to assemble and go to the front to meet the enemy, and the old and weak women and children began to retreat to the rear with the important materials of the clan, but in a moment, they had already seen the shadow of the enemy army.

Di Yefei and the others originally wanted to wait for a while to see what the situation was, but as soon as the thousands of cavalry appeared, everyone almost vomited three liters of blood.

On the bright flag, there are obviously two words!

Di Yefei couldn't read, so he couldn't recognize what those two words were, but he knew that the banner of the army in their army was not like this!

"Let's go!" Di Yefei is the team leader, and he immediately made a decision." Let's get out of here! "

The people of the high car immediately drove up the high car, and the group headed for the west, the army was in chaos, and some things could not be taken care of, and almost everyone either retreated to the north or rushed to the west.

Before Di Yefei's horse had run a few steps, the bearded beard immediately led a group of people to catch up with the horse, blocking the retreat of their group.

"Don't go! We need your tall carts to stop the other side's charge! "

"This is our truck, why should we bring it to you!" One of the high-ranking soldiers shouted, "The enemy is coming!" Get out of the way! "

"This tribe saved you, gave you food, gave you drink, let them recuperate, and when something happened, you ran away immediately? Your tall car must be lent to us, and we will pay it back twice as much! "

"Where are we going to find your ......?"

"Take all the food and everything you can carry, and give them our tall cart."

Di Yefei interrupted him and demanded that all his own people jump out of the car.

Di Yefei didn't feel sorry for the things inside at all, the important thing now was that they all had to live.

They also want to go to the foot of Jinshan to participate in the Ole Alliance, so that all the old and young women and children of Gaoche move south, Li joined the army and said, as soon as the Xia State is defeated, they can go directly to the border of the Xia State from the foot of the Jinshan, and enter the Wei State from the Xia State, without bypassing the soft and vast grassland.

Now there is an unknown army chasing after them, and the tall car has become a burden to them. They were originally cavalrymen, and as long as they brought dry food, water, and important supplies, they could survive on the grassland by finding places with water and grass along the road.

"Beauty, I knew you were righteous!" The beard whistled and ordered the rest of the horses behind him." The others continued to look for the car and immediately lined up to block it! "

There were dozens of people behind the beard, and they immediately dispersed when they heard his order.

"Damn, it's Helian, I thought I was wrong!"

The iron cavalry in the distance appeared in front of the people, although the armor was like that, but they all looked like dust and dust, and they should have been marching in the grassland for a long time.

Cavalry without baggage and supplies were the most terrible, and they could not find any chance of surviving in the savannah except by plundering the tribes for food and supplies. This cavalry numbered about three or four thousand people, and its armor, weapons, and horses were better than the army of the Rouran people, so it was no wonder that the Rouran people who went to inquire in front of them would shout "The Wei people are coming, and Tuoba Xianbei is coming.".

[,！ ]

Di Yefei's comrades packed everything and rode their horses to flee west. Di Yefei was about to leave, when he heard the sound of his beard, and turned back suddenly.

"What do you say? Helian?"

There are some differences between the words of the Rouran people and the words of the high cars, but the pronunciation of "Helian" is still audible as soon as you hear it.

"Can you read Chinese characters?"

Di Yefei didn't understand what was written on the two seals on the flag.

The bearded man carefully looked at the dust in front of him, and all the herdsmen in the Dome Ridge had already begun to build a "Great Wall" with chariots and horses in front of him according to his requirements.

When he heard Di Yefei's question, he turned his head and laughed.

"Hahaha, are you starting to admire me? Adore me? I do know Chinese characters, and I know your Ele dialect, otherwise you stay and help me, and I will teach you ......"

"Goodbye."

Di Yefei simply pulled the reins of the horse and followed his companions away.

Di Yefei and his party were mentally prepared to encounter all kinds of dangers before setting off, but this did not include meeting the army of the Xia Kingdom in the territory of the Rouran people and being hunted down.

! Their Wei army is beating the Xia Kingdom to the ground, but the Xia people have come to Rouran?

What does that mean? Xia Guo's territory is not good, come and exchange with the Rouran people?

What can a few thousand people do?

They walked through gravel and dead grass, and the people of Rouran who passed along the way shot angry glances at them. They saved them from freezing to death in the vast grassland, and now they have encountered an unknown enemy who wants to plunder their cattle and sheep and a qiē, and this team, which is mostly young and strong, wants to abandon them.

Such a look makes some high-riders start to feel irritable.

"! If I'm really a high-rider clan, I'll ......."

"What a stupid thing to say! Look at these real high-car tribes, which one has been left behind? Here you rob me, I rob you, these high-riders have also been robbed, and there is no way to stay and help with compassion." The charioteer, who was about thirty years old, persuaded him: "We have given them furs and salt, and even the chariot has been left to them, which is enough to repay the grace of saving lives."

More than 200 people ran to the higher ground, and when they saw that there was no cavalry chasing after them, they slowed down the pace of their horses and turned around to see what was going on.

"Oh my God! Who's that beard? He really did...... "The painter in the military tent widened his eyes." Where did those cavalry come from?"

Behind the bearded beard, after the obstacles blocked by tall carts and various carts and horses, a procession of about a thousand people appeared. They all had bows and arrows in their hands, and pointed their arrows at the oncoming cavalry.

"That beard is probably a gentle nobleman who goes out on patrol in micro-clothes. He knew the Chinese characters, and he could see that the banner was written on Helian."

Di Yefei looked into the distance with a cold face, the horse's hooves kicked the gravel, the stones rolled down the slope, Di Yefei's eyes seemed to be looking at a lover's concentration.

"I don't know why there are Xia people in the territory of Rouran, although there are not many people, but it is too strange. We need someone to go back and report it."

"Xia people?"

"Helian? Could it be which clan of the Xia Kingdom?"

"Playing the flag in the place of Rouran, he is crazy?"

"He must be conceited about his abilities."

Di Yefei watched the cavalry of the Helian clan stop the horses alive after seeing the "Great Wall of Carriages and Horses", and countless people fell off their horses.

He saw the bearded herdsmen and cavalrymen who knew how to shoot arrows, arrows made of bones and all sorts of rudimentary things raining down on the cavalry at the front.

In just an instant, the surprise soldiers who came to attack the camp were missing dozens of men and horses, one of the main generals waved the flag, and the cavalry split in the direction of the two wings, bypassing the obstacles set up and rushing towards the middle.

Although this cavalry was in the dust, it still maintained a two-to-three-horse formation of one person, leaving a few hundred people behind to guard the horses, obviously a regular army, not an ordinary horse thief and the like.

"Let's go around from behind!"

Di Yefei looked at it for a while, and suddenly said to his comrades around him.

"Let's go and kill the Xia people who wrote the horses, and snatch their horses away."

"Di Yefei, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. These Xia people don't know why they appeared in the territory of Rouran, and they looked at the direction to the southwest, which was the direction of returning to the Xia Kingdom. They must have traveled a long way from the east, and if we take away their horses, they will not have to go far and will have to rest. Let's divide one person to go back and report the news, and let Montenegro send people to block it in the southwest direction, and we will definitely be able to catch this group of Xia people......"

Di Yefei's eyes flashed with a crazy light.

"This is the clan of the Xia Kingdom, maybe it is an important enemy general! Although we are in Rouran to contact the Gaoche people, it does not mean that we cannot make meritorious contributions! "

"Let's go back to Montenegro."

Several horsemen dropped a few packets of food from the back of their horses, brought enough water for twenty days, pulled out three substitute horses each, and without hesitation began to descend straight to the south.

They were all scouts, and it was only because they knew Gaoche and Rouran that they were sent in for emergencies, and they were originally tasked with coming back to report the news.

Di Yefei's group of people with high carts and baggage, stopped and stopped, and walked for a month before they came here.

But if you keep changing horses and marching south, it will only take about ten days to drive back to Montenegro.

As long as this group of Xia people returns to the Xia Kingdom, they must be. [,！ It will go south from Xihai Ancient County to the west of the fertile field, and as long as you send someone to guard the place, you can wait for the rabbit.

"Let's go!"

Di Yefei clenched the long knife in his hand and turned the horse's head.

"Now I hope that the Rouran people can drag this group of summer soldiers for a little longer."

He stood in the stirrups, his black cloak rattling in the wind.

"All the team! We are the Xia army who killed and the Wei Iron Cavalry who were feared by the Rouran people! "
