Chapter 1372: Tarsus

In the wind and snow, Montessori's crossbowmen emerged from the mountains and forests, condescending no longer with a platoon shot, but began to shoot, the crossbow bolt in the effective distance of the lethality is greater than the arrow, but the kinetic energy at the end of the crossbow range is because of the tail potential energy and other reasons, so that the power of the crossbow arrow in the maximum range and the arrow can not be compared at all, so under normal circumstances, as long as the effective range escapes, generally speaking, the crossbow arrow will lose the greatest deterrent.

Although Meng Shu is brave, he is not brainless, and the retreat of Riza has consumed part of the physical strength of his subordinates, and if he continues to go down, he will inevitably get out of the cover range of the crossbow, and the risk of damage will naturally increase rapidly. The reason why Meng Shu made a gesture of directly charging and killing the Chinese army where Quinoa Xiangli was located was nothing more than forcing Quinoa Xiangli to transfer back the soldiers who flanked him, and since the goal had been achieved, Meng Shu did not love to fight, and immediately ordered a retreat.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

The crisp sound of gold sounded, and the Montessori black-armored warriors who were chasing after their opponent's wolf rush immediately gave up all their attacks, and then quickly gathered in a blink of an eye, covering each other and retreating to the top of the mountain, they came suddenly, retreated just as suddenly, and before quinoa could react, they had disappeared into the woodland on the hillside.

When the soldiers who had sorted out the quinoa had climbed the hillside again, they had not been attacked or fought, and if it had not been for the blood and snow on the hillside, and the corpses of hundreds of corpses lying everywhere, they might have thought that there were no Han people here at all.

When the quinoa climbs to the top of the mountain, they cautiously enter the woodland, but they do not see Montessori and the others, only see the other side of the woodland, except for some footprints, more slender and long imprints, meandering into the distance......

Three miles away, Meng Shu was holding the sled, sliding rapidly, on the snow, the speed of the sled far exceeded the speed of walking I don't know how many times, especially on the deep snow mountain road, the sled can pass quickly, but it is very difficult for people and horses to travel directly.

Sled, in fact, the principle is not complicated, and the production process is not strenuous, but in the Han Dynasty, when it was about to experience a Xiaoice period, whether it was the Hu people or the Han people, they never thought that they would encounter such a big snow, nor did they think that the snow line would be pressed so south, so after a long time of training, Meng Shu and others, when they first used a sled to appear on the battlefield, faced with a natural cavalry like the Qiang people, but in a special time and special terrain, they achieved the effect of mechanical suppression.

With his head bowed, he bent slightly, bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, and slid forward silently and quickly. The Montessori soldiers also followed him left and right, although they walked silently, no one spoke, but the expression on their faces was excited, the wind and snow fell on their cheeks, because of the accumulation of a large number of snowflakes and drooping branches did not bring much hindrance to these skilled gliders, if it were not for the fear that the sound would attract the attention of the Qiang people, plus it might cause the soft snow layer to collapse, maybe the Montessori armor soldiers would laugh heartily to express their sense of pleasure.

Although Meng Shu only brought 500 people, when facing the Qiang people, who were far more numerous than several times, he did not rush up and fight indiscriminately, but divided the 500 people into three parts, and the 350 people who fought head-on, with the advantage of the hillside, lured the Qiang people to attack head-on, and then borrowed 100 crossbowmen in the forest to carry out sudden suppression and counterattack, and also arranged 50 people on the side to intercept and warn, but they were not used in the previous battle.

"Speed up! Let's go around! ”

Meng Shu, who has lived in Longyou for many years, and even participated in the battle against Xiqiang under an alias, knows the terrain near Di Dao well, and after turning a valley, he pointed his hand to the side, and then led people to roar by.

Unknown things bring not only a sense of mystery, but also a sense of fear.

Of course, there may be people who are curious. It's just that when facing the bloody corpses of his own Qiang people, most of this little curiosity turned into fear......

How did the Han people go?

How can it be so fast?

Quinoa Xiangli couldn't figure it out, but the question marks in his head didn't help, so he could only order the queue to be sorted out in resentment, continue to move forward, and then arrange a large number of scouts in the rear, he felt that this strange Han black-armored soldier was likely to attack again......

Quinoa Xiangli guessed the result correctly, but not in the right direction.

The winter mountain night is silent and terrifying, and even fierce carnivorous beasts will not be willing to stare at the wind and snow in the wild unless they are extremely hungry.

But humans can.

In a way, humans don't have sharp claws, but they're more terrifying than ferocious beasts.

Just after the ugly hour, Meng Shu lifted the linoleum blanket, and the cold air quickly invaded, hitting his face, even if he was coated with a thick layer of oil, he could still feel the cold biting.

In order to be able to pursue Quinoa Xiangli, Meng Shu and the others can be said to be the first batch of warriors full of black technology.

The sled can usually be used to travel and rush, and can also be used to cushion the ground to isolate the snow and soil when resting, and can also be used as a stake and roof to shield the wind and snow.

In addition, in addition to applying a thick layer of oil to the exposed parts of their faces and hands to keep them warm, Meng Shu and the others also wore winter three-piece suits from Binh Duong, leather armor, sweaters, and down jackets. Although it cannot be said that the wind and snow are nothing, at least there is no problem in surviving in the wild for a long time. Compared with those Qiang people who have not yet realized the arrival of the Xiaoice River, the equipment of these people is like fighting a naked person with a whole body warm in the ice and snow, and at the beginning of the battle, the end is already doomed.

It can't be completely said that the Qiang people are stupid, but they have been accustomed to the mild and humid climate of the Han Dynasty, and suddenly encountered the Xiaoice River period, and the ice and snow line pressed south, if it were not for the preparation of General Zhengxi, I am afraid that no one could stand it.

Meng Shu took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, pulled out the stopper, and took two sips, the spicy high wine rushed down his throat to a line of fire, and the blood that was suddenly blown by the cold wind and reduced the flow rate seemed to return to normal. Meng Shuha let out a sigh, the aroma of wine overflowed, and he lowered his voice and ordered: "Shout, move, it's time to hunt!" ”

When Meng Shu and the others touched the flank of Quinoa Xiangli, it was the first moment of the Yin period.

This is almost the coldest time of the day, but also the darkest time, the Qiang people are huddled in a sheltered place, with the only remaining cold to resist the wind and snow, snuggling up to each other to keep warm, as the outermost personnel, often can only be beaten for an hour, must be dragged back to the middle area to recover, otherwise when the dawn rises, these in the outer layer of the wind and snow, can basically become ice sculptures.

The valley that the Qiang people temporarily repaired is very long, so the Qiang people are also scattered, and the key precautions of quinoa are placed in the rear, and the Qiang people did not expect Meng Shu and others to appear on the flank, so when these Qiang people shrank in the ground or behind the stones and waited for the dawn, Meng Shu and the people had already taken advantage of the cover of the night and gradually touched it, and the sound of creaking snow did not attract the attention of these exhausted Qiang people.

Meng Shu looked left and right, and found that his men were basically in place, so he sped up and ran forward. At this time, most of the Qiang people were still curled up, dreaming of eating and drinking, and they didn't realize the danger coming.

When the first scream broke through the silence of the night, Quinoa Xiangli, who was so tormented by illness that he could barely sleep, suddenly woke up, his eyes widened, and his ears pricked up to listen.

Although the Qiang people did not set up a camp, there were still tents in Quinoa Xiangli, and several guards also lived in tents with Quinoa Xiangli.

Quinoa Xiangli's guards had not yet fully woken up from their sleep, and although they were driven by Quinoa Xiangli to stand up, they couldn't react for a while......

"Here we are...... Here they are again......" Quinoa murmured to Li, as if smelling something ominous in the air.

There was another scream, mingled with the howling night wind.

"What's coming?" The guards were still a little confused.

"Enemy ...... Ahem......" Quinoa roared angrily, and then he didn't know whether it was the cause of his breath or the pain of his body, he coughed violently several times, and saw that the guard was still a little confused, so he couldn't help but be furious, grabbed the horsewhip on the side, and whipped it on the guard's body, "Ahem...... Enemy Attack ...... Enemy attack! The Han people are coming! Here it comes! Fast! Trumpet rally! ”

Quinoa Xiangli is sick and sore, although it is pumped on the guard, but the strength is not great, the guard has rough skin and thick flesh and a leather robe and does not feel much pain, but at first I felt that some were pumped inexplicably, I lowered my head and was just about to apologize to Quinoa Xiangli, but suddenly heard the words enemy attack, Han people, etc., and suddenly widened my eyes, and then instinctively rushed out of the tent, looked into the distance, and when I saw the shadowy figure in the dark night, I immediately took a breath of cool air, copied the horn on my side, and blew it hard......

......The muffled sound of a horn pierced the silence and circled back and forth in the valley, finally waking the exhausted Qiang people from their sleep. But after waking up, most of the Qiang people still can't see the direction, and they don't know where the Han people came from and what they have to do.

Quinoa Xiangli panted out of the tent, looking at the panicked Qiang people, although there were already Qiang people gathering here, but Quinoa Xiangli's heart still kept sinking.

In order to imitate the sneak attack of the Han people, Quinoa Xiangli even concentrated all the remaining traps and traps, so that people were buried on the back road, on the one hand, they could do some early warning and prevention, and they could also kill and injure the people who broke in, on the other hand, even if they did not wait for the Han people, maybe they could also trap some nocturnal wild animals and supplement some blood food.

But he didn't expect that Meng Shu and the others would appear in front of him......

How did the Han people appear in this direction?

Although Quinoa Xiangli couldn't figure it out, he also saw the elite and fierce of these Han people clearly, and when he saw that the Qiang people had already warned, he also let go of his hands and feet, and rushed to kill with wide openings and closings, like a tiger entering a flock.

"Horses! Steed! Our War Horse! Quinoa Xiangli suddenly screamed, and his voice was a little split, "Quick! Our horses! ”

In order to protect the few remaining war horses, the Qiang people concentrated their war horses in the middle of the valley to shelter from the wind and keep warm, so that the war horses could spend the cold night relatively safely, but the Han people who killed from the flanks seemed to be killing these war horses......

If in such a situation, the war horse is hit hard again, this is simply a catastrophe!

The more Quinoa Xiangli thought about it, the more frightened he became, ignoring his sick body, his green tendons were exposed, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, hurry! Grab your weapons and protect the horses! Our War Horse! ”

The Qiang people who were gathering around Quinoa Xiangli suddenly realized this, and they immediately didn't care what formation they were arranging, what armor they were wearing, and what weapons they caught in their hands were whatever weapons they were, and even some people couldn't find their blades for a while, and they were carried by the crowd empty-handed, and they came to meet Meng Shu and the others.

"Blade! Break the enemy! Drive the horses! ”

Meng Shu slashed and slaughtered, while looking at the Qiang people who rushed to the rescue, and secretly admired the speed of the quinoa reaction to the benefits in his heart. Mengshu's target this time is these Qiang war horses. These war horses are like the baggage of the Qiang people, and they belong to the most painful and weakest vital parts of the Qiang people!

Meng Shu has the blood of the old Qin people on his body, and on the battlefield, he naturally kills the opponent's key point directly, and does not spare his hand at all, because this is a kind of respect for the opponent of the old Qin people.

The Montessori warriors with snowboards strapped to the soles of their feet, the area of contact with the ground is larger, they will not fall into the snow as deep as the Qiang people, and their natural actions are also more flexible.

"Kill!" Meng Shu opened a spear with a hook, slashed diagonally with his right hand, slashed his opponent with a single sword, crashed into the Qiang people, slashed left and right, raised his hand and fell, and killed three people in a row in the blink of an eye. The Qiang people's front was originally loose, and suddenly there was a big gap, and the Montessori armor immediately seized this opportunity, rushed in, and quickly expanded the gap!

"Don't fall in love with war, drive the war horses quickly!" Meng Shu let out a loud shout, stopping his subordinates from continuing to expand the results of the battle, and went straight to the assembly place of the Qiang war horses!

There are so many Qiang people, even if they obediently line up for Meng Shu and others to cut down, no matter how sharp the ring head knife is, I am afraid that it will be blunt, so if you want to kill and injure the Qiang people to the greatest extent, it is not how many heads you cut directly, but to drag down the Qiang people to the greatest extent, drag the remnants of the Qiang people, and use the cruel weather to let these Qiang people die on the way home!

Before more Qiang people reacted, they rushed to the Qiang people's war horse community, lit torches, lit the blankets on the horses, and even burned the horse's tail and cut off the horse's hips......

The war horses of the Qiang people suddenly became chaotic, and those war horses that were stimulated by the flames and pain began to run regardless of it, driving more horses to run with them, and in the darkness, I don't know how many Qiang people were knocked down, and I don't know how many war horses were injured and fell to the ground!

Seeing such a scene, Quinoa Xiangli was stunned, and he could no longer bear the blood that was tumbling in his chest, and a mouthful of blood mist spewed out with a "poof", and he fell to the sky......
