Chapter 17: Breaking the Little Elm Valley
The tribe, located in the middle of the valley of the elms, is too rich. Since Beigong Bo was attacked and killed by Ma Yue, the situation on the grassland has become chaotic.
Beigong Yu's ascension to the throne did not prevent them from turning into horse bandits and the like, these tribes gathered in groups of three or five, raising troops in the birthplace of the Qiang people to attack the tribes loyal to Beigong Yu, venting their dissatisfaction with Beigong Yu.
Since the brief chaos after Duan Ying's death has subsided, the situation has become chaotic again due to Ma Yue's revenge.
On this night, the autumn wind was bleak, but it could not stop the tribes who had reveled after plundering.
They had nothing to fear, and there was a tribe stationed in the valley of the Little Elms to the north, and fifteen miles to the south was the valley of the Great Elms, where their leader and three tribes of nearly two thousand men and horses were there.
With their comrades on the left and right, they never imagined that someone would bypass the Great and Small Elm Valley to attack them.
In the singing, dancing and laughing, no one could see the arrows flying in the night sky in the distance, and no one could see Guan Yu's tiger-like pupils three miles away.
Yan Xing came with a bow and arrows on his back and three or five scouts beating horses, and said to Guan Yu with a fist: "Chief, all the scouts in the north of the tribe have been cut off. ”
Guan Yu nodded, and a deep voice came out of his mouth: "Seven hundred cavalry are under your command, go vent your anger and kill the enemy!" ”
Guan Yu waved his hand, and the order had already been informed by Zhao Ang of the whole army, and the thousand horsemen were divided into two, seven hundred people followed Yan Xing, and the remaining three hundred people followed Guan Yu around the tribe in a roundabout way.
After receiving the order, Yan Xing turned around and put his bow and arrow into the quiver on the horse's hip, and charged at the tribe three miles away with the reins in one hand and a spear in the other.
The roar of horses' hooves couldn't hide the anger in Yan Xing's eyes, his sister had told him.
Kill them all!
Kill them all!
Kill them all!
My sister is such a kind woman, she told me to kill them all, then they are guilty.
Capital crime!
The speeding cavalry rushed a mile away, and the people of the tribe felt the tremor of the earth, and the cheers came to an abrupt end.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Go get your bow and arrows!"
They were unarmed, and the empty-handed drunks were shot over by arrows before they could run back to their tents.
Although there were wooden thorns piled up in front of the camp gate, this could not stop Yan Xing.
Yan Xing galloped out of the cavalry like a sharp arrow from the string with the reins, and his horse was one of the few Xianbei good horses that the horses of the Lingzhou War were detained, and his speed far exceeded that of ordinary horses.
Approaching the camp gate, Yan Xing threw his spear at the Qiang foot guards guarding the gate, nailing it to the wall made of wood, and almost at the same time as Yan Xing's spear was thrown, his other hand had already released the reins and felt something from his waist.
This is something that people in the grasslands of Liangzhou often use.
Lasso.
After the several meters long lasso was thrown out by Yan Xing, he turned the horse's head around the camp, and the lasso was accurately put on the deer, Yan Xing grabbed the maso with both hands, and his body almost stuck to the horse, and his whole body used force to make the deer be dragged away a little.
Immediately after Yan Xing, three Qiang riders flew out and threw out the lasso in their hands, and the four horses exerted their strength, which would drag the lassoe away a passage that allowed the three horses to drive together.
In a moment, Yan Xing spread his lasso and turned his horse's head to join the cavalry and charge together.
Holding the horse's body with his legs, Yan Xing stood up on the horse's back and pulled out a spear from the wall, waving the spear in his hand and shouting, "Rush with me!" Kill them all! Kill them all! ”
Seven hundred cavalry rushed into the tribe and went on a killing spree.
Some people straddle their horses and stretch their bows and arrows, and some people wield scimitars in one hand and grab torches in the other and throw them at will.
These rebels were supposed to be slaughterers and marauders.
There is no hesitation when killing others.
However, at this time, they who were still drinking and eating meat a moment ago, they could not raise the roast leg of lamb in their hands to compete with the cavalry led by Yan Xing.
No one could stop Yan Xing, who was leading people to rush left and right in the tribe, and it was only a moment before Yan Xing dragged away the deer and rushed into the tribe, and the Qiang people who fell under Yan Xing's horse had already exceeded Double Ten.
For Yan Xing, this is a revenge!
In just a moment, the tribe of more than 500 people resisted for only a moment before being routed in a sea of fire.
"Go down and accompany my brother-in-law!"
A shot stabbed a rout in the back, and Yan Xing shouted loudly: "Broken brothers, don't leave a single one alive, kill them all!" ”
The biggest point of this operation is that no enemy can be left to ventilate and report the news, otherwise the other four divisions will have no way to survive under the front and rear attacks of the other four divisions.
Guan Yu told Yan Xing again and again, but Yan Xing did not forget despite his anger, seeing that the enemy mounted their horses one after another and hurriedly chased the rout army from behind with bows and arrows.
In front of him, six or seven Qiang people had just stepped on their horses, and one of them didn't even feel that his boots had fallen, and he was bare-chested on horseback and urged his horse to run south.
They ran in front, and Yan Xing led the two of them to chase behind, ignoring the blood on their faces.
"Whoosh!" With a bang, an arrow flew out from behind Yan Xing, and shot past Yan Xing and shot at the Qiang people who ran to the front.
Then another arrow came, and the Qiang people in front of him fell off their horses.
With another arrow, a Qiang horse was shot, and the horse ran forward a few paces in pain, and fell to the grassland with its master.
In a blur, Yan Xing saw the nine-foot-tall knight hundreds of paces away pull out the ring sword.
Yan Xing also shot an arrow, killing another Qiang man on the horse, and then turned his head to see that the knight who shot the three arrows was none other than Zhao Ang.
Le Ma, Yan Xing said to Zhao Ang: "Engage in good archery, you don't need to chase here, let's chase others." ”
The three horsemen behind him followed Yan Xing out after the order, Zhao Ang pulled the reins, glanced into the distance, and then followed Yan Xing back to the camp to continue to attack and kill the enemy.
On the periphery of the tribe, Guan Yu had already sent people to block the camp gates of the tribe, and there were still rangers walking around.
It is difficult for the Qiang people to fly with wings.
The killing lasted for half an hour, and Yan Xing and the others sat on the ground pacing, carefully searching every corner of the tribe.
Then add a knife to all the corpses.
"Chief, the search is complete, and there are no fish that have slipped through the net!"
Guan Yu rode on the horse and nodded, wiped the blood on the knife with his sleeve, and said to everyone: "Before you leave here, burn everything." ”
Hearing this, Qian Chang beside Guan Yu hurriedly said, "Chief, at least let the brothers plunder before leaving." ”
Guan Yu frowned and said, "What's the difference between us and them after robbing something?" ”
Qian Chang smiled and said: "What is the leader talking about, where is the difference, it is just that they are wrong to follow the wolf master." ”
After the thousand cavalry commander finished speaking, the expression on Guan Yu's face changed, and he was about to say something, Yan Xing urged the horse to walk between the two and smiled at the thousand cavalry commander: "Go, but I want to warn the brothers to take less things, we are still busy this night, and we will gather in a small valley five miles north of the tribe in a moment of time." ”
"Okay!" The commander of the thousand cavalry smiled at Yan Xing, patted him on the shoulder, turned around and gave the order for the cavalry to loot, Guan Yu said to Yan Xing: "Yanming, how can you ......?"
"Brother, I understand what you're trying to say." Yan Xing said, pointing to the valley in the north and said, "Let's talk as we go." ”
