Chapter 84: The Night of Revenge!
The five Yuan Xiu followed behind the Ledan army, never getting too close, and when they saw the Di tribe, there was already a sea of fire in front of them.
Rockets burned people's tents, stray arrows plunged into the grass, and sparks were everywhere.
The sound of horses' hooves, swords, golden drums, arrows, the cries of women and children, the sound of chaotic footsteps, the long wind of the grassland does not disperse the bloody breath, thousands of miles of pastures, thousands of miles of corpses.
The Di people's army and the fourth prince's army killed all night last night, with deaths and injuries everywhere, and the secret letter from the spies said that the second prince and the third prince's army were facing each other, but when the five people arrived, the Di tribe had already been in a scuffle, and 50,000 Ledan's iron horsemen surrounded the grassland pasture, and the shouts inside were all nonsense, and Dusk Qing only vaguely understood a few words. However, judging from the fact that the Ledan army did not rush in, Hu Yanhao should have already controlled the situation inside.
"Hu Yanhao's people captured the people, most of whom were the families of the steppe warriors and cavalry." Yuan Xiu's voice reached Twilight's ears with the night wind, and Twilight turned to look at him on his horse, seeing him staring ahead, as if he hadn't spoken before.
In the distance, there were too many people in the tribe to see where Hu Yanhao was, but he could see the people in herdsmen's clothes being tied up, and the old and young women were all pressed against the scimitar behind their necks, and the blades were as red as blood.
Twilight Qing's eyes were cold, and she snorted coldly, such a method is really Hu Yanhao's style.
"Hu Yanhao forced Wang Jun and several warriors under the command of the prince to put the queen and the princes into the king's tent, the eldest prince is gone, he should have taken advantage of the chaos to hide, and he is searching the tent at this time." Yuan Xiudao.
The Ledin army surrounded the Di tribe, and it was impossible for the eldest prince to escape, so he should have taken advantage of the chaos to hide in some tent. Burning the tent is the easiest to force people out, but Hu Yanhao ordered someone to tie up the eldest prince's wife and children outside the king's tent, and the hourglass did not flip once, and killed one person. For every man he killed, he ordered his head to be cut off, put it in a scimitar, and carried it outside the tents on horseback.
The fire shone on the scimitar, blood trickled down from the warm cavity, and the fear of death still lingered in those eyes, spreading like a plague into the eyes of the living.
Twilight sat on her horse, looking at the heads of those who were holding up on scimitars, four or five people, all men, most of them were teenagers, they had been the most honorable princes and grandsons of the steppe tribes, and they had been ended their lives in this way tonight, the change of royal power was a bloody war, for her, it was only in the pages of the book, but tonight it was so vivid and rooted in the bottom of her heart.
The eldest prince never appeared, and the dead were all his sons, but he still hid in the tent of the unknown, delaying the hours and lingering.
Twilight Qing looked at the snow-white tent tops, her eyes seemed to see the green tiles washed by the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River through the smoke-filled grassland, and remembered the young time when her father walked in the courtyard with her on his back, and it was also such a starry night, and the not strong back was like a high mountain sitting under the Tianhe.
"The eldest prince has six sons on his knees, five of whom have died, and a three-year-old son." Yuan Xiu's voice brought Twilight's thoughts back to the night of the grassland killing.
Three-year-old, still a child......
The warriors under the command of Hu Yanhao walked in front of the tents on the grassland with their heads in their heads, their eyes were cold, and there were people behind them holding torches, following all the way, giggling. They did not go into their tents, but they walked outside, as if they were paraded through the streets. Every time I walked through a tent, the firelight shone through the tent, and the ground that had been worn out was bright and dark, and Twilight suddenly stared at the ground of a nearby tent!
The tent was close to the Ledan Iron Horse, the grass on the ground had been worn bald by half a circle of entering and exiting on weekdays, and a few messy footprints were lying on the ground, the footprints were shallow, and the sky was dark, and Twilight couldn't see it clearly, but it was only a moment after the fire, and she felt that there was something wrong with those footprints.
These grassland tents, the top of the tent has no beads and colors, and is located on the edge, which should be a people's tent. There was chaos in the clan, foreign tribes came to attack, the people hid in the tent and did not come out, they were tied up and taken out by Hu Yanhao's people, the cavalry who entered the tent must not be alone, and the footprints on the ground should be messy, different sizes, and there should be horseshoe prints. But the footprints on the outside of the tent were stamped with horseshoe prints, apparently stepped on later, and they all seemed to be of the same size!
The night was dark and it wasn't too close, Twilight wasn't sure, but she decided to give it a try, thinking that a three-year-old child's head would be stuck in a scimitar. She coughed lightly, and the reins of the horse hit the side, two steps closer to Yuan Xiu, and the gaze of the moon killer next to him swished, Twilight ignored him, glanced in the direction of the tent, and gave Yuan Xiu a look.
In front of her was the Ledan cavalry, and the pronunciation of the Ledan dialect she learned was not authentic, so she didn't dare to risk speaking, so she could only give Yuan Xiu a look. Yuan Xiu followed her gaze and glanced at the tent, and asked in secret, "Is there anyone in the tent?" ”
Twilight shook her head and then nodded, not sure, but she could try.
In the current situation, the Ledan soldiers were only on the periphery, Hu Yanhao was in the king's tent, and the five of them couldn't get close to him, and Yuan Xiu also wanted to break the situation, so he gave Meng San a look.
Meng San suddenly shouted at the back of the crowd, "Pray for Sangkebure!" ”
There seems to be someone in the tent!
The voice was like a thunderclap, and the Ledin soldiers in front of him turned their heads to look at Meng San, Meng San was clever, and these Ledin soldiers stared at him for a long time, so they pointed to the tent, "Husa!" ”
Over there!
When the surrounding Ledan soldiers heard this, they turned their heads and looked at the tent pointed by Meng San, Hu Yanhao's elite soldiers did not go far with their heads raised, and when they heard the commotion here, they turned their heads and looked at it, and saw the tip of Meng San's knife pointing to a people's tent.
Those elite soldiers looked cold, and quickly ran towards the tent!
Just arrived at the door of the tent, want to rush in, the tent suddenly had a snow stroke, shook people's eyes, the eyes of the elite soldiers were shaken, the eyes of the eyes were shaking, the eyes of a void of work, someone in the inside vigorously knocked out, the first elite soldier only felt a cold abdomen, and a heat, the blood line splashed the moonlight scarlet, he fell down to see a pair of bloody eyes.
The big prince of Di ran out of Huyanhao's people, and when he saw the heads of the people on the scimitars in the hands of the first few people behind him, he let out a beastly roar, and the knife in his hand slashed towards the elite soldiers in an orderly manner.
Hu Yanhao is highly skilled, and the eldest prince, who is the eldest son of King Di, should be more proficient, but he slashes indiscriminately, and he has no master discipline, just like a crazy and reckless man.
His son was killed, he hid in the tent and did not come out, after all, he suffered great mental torture, and after running out, he saw the tragic death of his five sons, and his mind was crazy.
The elite soldiers reacted, and with a flick of the scimitar in their hands, the head on the knife was thrown to the ground, and the bones rolled away, and the blood and yellow sand grass blades were stained on their faces, and it was difficult to distinguish who was who. A human head rolled over to the burning arrow, its hair burning, its skin roasted by the fire, and in a moment the sound of Zrazra was heard.
The eldest prince roared and pounced, several elite soldiers rushed in, the knife slashed at his hands and feet, and several teams of elite soldiers came in the distance, more than 100 people surrounded the eldest prince, Twilight sat on the horse and saw people splashed blood in the knife forest like flowers, a quarter of an hour, the person has become a bloody man, the tendons were cut off, kneeling on the ground and being dragged directly to the king's tent.
The Di tribe fell into the hands of Hu Yanhao, and Du Qing calculated the time to follow all the way, and always felt that Hu Yanhao had controlled the situation too quickly, and he should have ordered the army under his command to start an incident before the Ledin army came. This person was indeed bold, he dared to act without waiting for the allies to arrive, and he was indeed brutal, and he did not fight with other princes' armies, but directly tied up the people of the tribe and controlled the families of the Di army. This kind of behavior is common in history, but I have never seen a person who has tied up all the people of the tribe, and those who want to do royal things will take into account the people's hearts to some extent, and Hu Yanhao is obviously not among them.
If this man becomes king, he will do tyranny!
After the eldest prince was dragged away, a Ledin general galloped in front of him, rushed to this side and gave an order, and a young general in front responded, stroked to the person behind him, said a word, and the Ledin cavalry in front of him rode in.
Twilight understood this military order, and it meant that they were told to go to the king's tent to protect them.
The general also ordered the team where Twilight Qing and the others were for some reason, and Xu was just discovering the eldest prince, and the relationship between the people and horses here was prominent.
"The Hu people are martial, reverence for warriors, and it is a reward for brave men to serve under the king's tent and generals, and this is a reward for our talents." Yuan Xiu's voice came.
Twilight didn't expect that there was really someone in the tent, so she could only say that she was lucky tonight, and she was blinded by them.
The five of them followed the Ledan cavalry to the king's tent, and when the Ledan army besieged the Di tribe, the army was a little chaotic, and the army of 50,000 people, no one knew everyone, and no one paid much attention to the five people. In the distance, hundreds of people looked in the direction of the Diren king's tent, because there was a big scene of killing there.
Outside the king's tent, the general came to a young man, who was on a horse, wearing armor and a hat, and on his hat was a string of jewels, and his hat was dark brown, with two braids, with a high nose and deep eyes, and a dark and red complexion.
Tuha was guarded by the royal army led by the general, and the hundreds of people including Dusk Qing were only on the periphery, but they could already see the situation outside the king's tent.
Hu Yanhao was outside the tent, the last time the two met in the general's mansion, they were so close that Twilight didn't recognize him, and the last time the two were across the wide Gewa River, it was the first time that they were so close tonight.
Hu Yanhao turned his back to Du Qing, and saw that he was riding a black horse, not wearing armor, his back was straight and broad, and a person in front of the horse was kneeling on the ground, and the blood-red drag marks on the ground were the eldest prince. The eldest prince's eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was scolding, and he desperately wanted to go to the tent.
The men's laughter and the women's cries were heard in the tent, and Twilight frowned behind her, and after a while, a group of men came out with a spring on their faces, and another group went in, until the woman was silent, and was thrown out by a tall and strong soldier!
The woman's hair was messy, her face was on the ground, she couldn't see her face clearly, her body was dirty, and her fair complexion was like pearls and porcelain in the moonlight.
The eldest prince wanted to pounce on the woman like crazy, and the two elite soldiers behind him unloaded his arm with their hands, and pierced the grassland night with a miserable howl, Hu Yanhao laughed on his horse.
"Don't worry, the show for you has just begun, my big brother." Hu Yanhao sat on a horse, turned his head and looked into the distance, a girl who was not wearing an inch was tied in, the girl had a messy bun, and when she saw the eldest prince kneeling on the ground, she cried and threw herself at him.
Hu Yanhao waved the whip on the horse, and the whip sounded like thunder, tearing the sky, tearing the flesh and skin on the girl's back, and the blood beads splashed red in the moonlight.
The beastly spirit grew stronger in the night wind around the king's tent, and the Ledin soldiers surrounding looked at the girl, revealing wolf-like eyes.
"Who wants, the most honorable princess of our Di tribe is yours." Hu Yanhao pointed at the girl lying on the ground with a horsewhip.
The Ledan soldiers did not dare to move without a military order, and the elite soldiers under Hu Yanhao smiled cruelly, and dragged the girl into the king's tent. The king's tent was wide open, and the ground was covered with a snow-soaked blanket of camel hair, and the blanket was covered with splattered blood, and five headless bodies fell on the blanket, and the maiden was thrown into the pile of corpses, where she suffered humiliation before the bodies of her father and her dead brother.
The cry woke up the eldest prince who fainted in pain, his legs and hamstrings were cut off, his arms were removed, and he couldn't get up after waking up, covered in blood, lying on the ground like a wasted man, looking up at Hu Yanhao on the horse, and roaring angrily, "Hu Yanhao! Marta is a kind girl! You let her go! ”
Hu Yanhao looked at him with a cruel smile, and pointed his horsewhip into the tent, "My eldest brother, don't you think you woke up too late?" ”
In front of the father, the daughter will always be the kind goddess Sanjo, as if in front of the grandmother, a son like him, who is regarded as a wolf cub, will always be the sun in the sky.
The wolf on the grassland chased the moonlight, willing to be the sun in the sky just to shine on Grandma, that winter, there was finally no day in his life, ten years of darkness, tonight's blood, he felt that it was far from enough.
Inside the tent, the elite soldiers fell down one by one, got up one by one, and the laughter and crying were devastating.
The eldest prince's throat was sweet, and he sprayed the horse's hooves in front of him with blood, "Hu Yanhao!" Thou art tyrannical, and the people of the Di tribe are the people of the Great God of the Aquila, and will never admit to being a cruel wolf! ”
Hoarse and hateful words are like wind knives, with the most poisonous curses in their mouths.
Hu Yanhao didn't care, he looked at the moonlight, like a wolf under the moon, and pulled up the long scar under his left eye with a smile, hideous and bloodthirsty, "The people of the Heavenly Eagle God, what is the use of the wolf?" Shouldn't they all be killed? ”
The eyes of the eldest prince suddenly widened, madman! He's a madman!
Back then, it was the stupidest decision for my father to allow that lowly slave girl to give birth to him!
In the tent, the girl was dragged out when she was dying, and she was thrown beside the eldest prince.
Hu Yanhao glanced at it, with disgust in his eyes, and mocked: "It's not going to be done so soon, it's really useless, it's not even as good as a slave girl." ”
The eldest prince had hatred in his eyes, it was his wife and daughter, the most noble woman in the tribe except the queen!
"Such a useless woman is not even worthy of the cattle and sheepfold, so throw it into the pigsty." Hu Yanhao's voice was quite weak, and the elite soldiers were ordered, and they dragged people away.
The Di people believed in the god of the Aquila, regarded cattle and sheep as superior, and pigs as inferior, cattle and sheep were raised by the tribal people, and only slaves lived with pigs. The wild boars on the grassland are quite wild, and such dying people throw them into it, and most of them will be gnawed to the bones.
The Di people believe in heavenly burial, and after death, the body will be dedicated to the eagle, and the eagle will take the soul to the sky, and the corpse will be eaten by the pig is not only a great insult to the Di people, but the soul will also be left in the pig's belly, and the next life can only be a lowly slave.
The eldest prince looked in the direction where his wife and daughter had been dragged away, and cried out as he rubbed his shoulders on the ground and crawled with difficulty, his legs dragging long bloody streaks behind him.
"Don't worry, you'll be reunited with them." Hu Yanhao smiled, gave his soldiers a look, and someone stepped forward to drag the eldest prince aside.
The moon is thick, and the night of revenge has just begun.
The queen and the fourth prince, the second prince and the third prince were all kept in the royal tent, according to age, Hu Yanhao was the third prince, but the Di royal family never called him the third prince. When he was a child, his status was not recognized by King Di, and he lived a slave-like life, and when he became an adult, his identity was recognized, and the queen and other princes and even the king's ministers and warriors deliberately ignored this matter.
He returned to the king's tent and continued to live a life of ostracism.
After ten years of hard work, he earned 20,000 soldiers and horses, far less than the forces under the command of other princes, and his people were restrained under the noses of Wang Jun and other princes, and there was nothing to fear.
However, it was these fearless 20,000 soldiers and horses that helped him capture the Di tribe tonight.
"Didn't expect that, did you? My noble queen, second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother. Hu Yanhao dismounted and entered the account and looked at the four pale people in the tent, "It seems that you are quite satisfied with the after-show we just arranged." ”
The eldest prince has been deposed, his son has been killed, his wife and daughter have been humiliated, and even his bones have been cursed with the most vicious of hell, what better place on earth than tonight?
"Bring them in." Hu Yanhao beckoned outside the tent, and a team of elite soldiers came in, pushing and shoving and bringing in a few tied teenagers and boys, those teenagers and boys were all wearing bright costumes, they were the honorable kings and grandsons before tonight, and at the moment they were just prisoners waiting to be slaughtered.
They were escorted aside, and a dozen women, maidens, and girls were brought in, a dozen of them untouched, except for the crumbling orbs in their hair to show their noble status.
Queen Di Ren saw a girl who was crying like pear blossoms and rain at the head of the group, and her face turned pale, "Sancho! ”
The five hus of the grassland have their own gods to worship, but only the sacred mountain and the sacred lake of the five tribes are worshipped, and only the daughter of the queen, the most beautiful and noble princess in the tribe can be called sangzhuo. And at the moment, she is no different from the slave girl who was sold.
Hu Yanhao turned around, looked at Prince Tuha outside the tent, and said with a smile: "I heard that Prince Tuha has been in love with Sang Zhuo for a long time, and tonight, she is your slave girl." ”
Princess Sandror turned back, frightened as a deer, and Prince Tuha sat on his horse, looking at her frightened look and snow-white body, and his belly gradually became turbid.
"Prince, no!" Sultanra, the first warrior of Ledan, suddenly stopped Tuha, and tonight they had the king's military orders, and it was not advisable to indulge in them.
"Wouldn't it be nice if you were outside?" Tuha waved Sultan's hand, there were 50,000 Ledan horsemen outside, and Sultanra was still guarding outside, what could happen? After looking at it outside the tent for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore, and it was not too late to kill Hu Yanhao after the fun.
He leaped swiftly off his horse and went into the tent without waiting for Sultan to stop him.
Hu Yanhao ordered the wives and daughters of the three princes to be brought to Prince Tuha for him to choose like slave girls, and he went out of the tent. There was the laughter of Prince Tuha, the low sobs of Princess Sangzhuo, the shouts and scolding of the queen and the princes and grandchildren, Hu Yanhao looked at the grassland night and smiled.
The smile was happy, bloodthirsty, and contented, and the Sultan frowned, looking at Hu Yanhao vigilantly, and at the same time glancing at the prince of Tuha, who was in high spirits in the tent.
Hu Yanhao raised his eyes and asked, "General Sultanla doesn't come into the account to enjoy it?" Ledan helped the king to achieve great things, and it was the king's intention to offer the best slave girl in the tribe. ”
"Not necessarily." Sultanra didn't want to say much, Hu Yanhao was cruel and cunning, and he had to be a little more careful.
"Really? It's really in vain that the king of Ben is kind, and he originally wanted the general to be a merry ghost when he dies like Prince Tuha. Hu Yanhao stood under the horse, raised his eyes and looked at Sultana with a smile, his tone seemed to be chatting with a friend, but there was a cold light in his hand!
Sultan was taken aback, he was just thinking about guarding against Hu Yanhao, but he couldn't prevent him from revealing his heart the next moment, and suddenly killed him! As the first warrior of Ledan, he was not slow to react, when Hu Yanhao drew the knife, he was already showing the scimitar on the horse, he thought that Hu Yanhao was going to kill him, and the scimitar went down to meet him, and suddenly there were blood beads in front of him!
Hu Yanhao was under the horse, and he cut off the horse's leg with a knife!
The horse neighed in pain and fell to the ground, and Sultan Raleng fell headfirst to the ground!
Suddenly there was a frightening wind overhead!
Short arrows are like rain, coming from all directions, flying like madness, the wind sweeps the king's tent and flags, the arrow rain shatters the moonlight, and the blood in the tent is splashed into flowers!
The prince of Tuha was doing something, and when the horse neighed, he would raise his head, and before he could get up, an arrow would pierce his throat! Blood splashed, and Princess Sandro, who was lying on the ground, rose in terror, and the rain of arrows pierced her back, and the snow turned white and red flowers.
The queen, the three princes, and a dozen princesses were pierced into blood by the short arrows that were shot into the king's tent from all sides, and everyone stood upright, like a grass target full of arrows.
The royal blood of the Di tribe was wiped out in an instant, and the sultan who fell off the war horse outside the tent pulled his shoulder and bloomed with blood, and when he landed, he avoided the belly of the fallen war horse, listening to the muffled sound of the arrow piercing the horse's body, and listening to the sound of the arrow falling from the horse of the Ledan cavalry behind him, his eyes were as red as snow!
Arrows were shot from the tents around the king's tent, and there was an ambush in them!
No wonder!
No wonder Hu Yanhao ordered the incident without waiting for the arrival of the Ledan army, it turned out that after capturing the people, he ordered the archers to hide in the tents around them!
When they arrived, the Di tribe was in chaos, the people fled from the tents, and were captured by Hu Yanhao's people, all the tents were wide open, and the people inside had just been tied up, as if the tents were empty, who would have thought that there were people hidden inside?
Hu Yanhao not only had already arranged, but he also calculated before he started, cutting the horse's leg should be to release the arrow with the neighing of the horse, and the moment he planted it from the horse, he saw Hu Yanhao looking up, the scimitar in his hand was as cold as snow, and his neck was wiping the blade! If it weren't for his stiff tilt in the midst of lightning, he would not only be hurting his shoulder at this moment, but being wiped by Hu Yanhao's neck!
The Sultan was about to split, raised his eyes and swept forward to cut down his war horse, and pulled the eldest prince to block the arrows, Hu Yanhao, who was terrified!
Hu Yanhao put himself in danger with this plan, and he was crazy and bold, there were 50,000 Ledin troops outside the Di tribe, and he didn't want to live? ――
