Chapter 0883 - Dismount
"Help!"
In the yellow sand in the sky, the first to rush out of the horse, the first to be a woman with a child in her arms.
When she saw the scouts swimming on the edge of the quicksand, her eyes suddenly lit up, like a drowning dying person grasping the last straw.
She held the child in one hand and raised the other hand and waved it to the south, all the while shouting out something.
She was able to sit on a galloping horse with only two legs, showing great riding skills.
A few scouts mounted their bows and crossbows from a distance, watching warily.
Not far behind them, there was an army sent by the Assassin Mansion, so there was no need to be afraid.
Seeing the scout's movements clearly, the woman came to her senses and hurriedly shouted for help in pure Chinese: "Help, help......"
The scout, who thought she was a bearded girl, suddenly looked at each other with some hesitation.
Although the bow and crossbow in his hand were still not put down, someone had already put up a pergola with his hands, and it seemed that he wanted to look more closely.
When the woman saw the change in the Han army scouts, she was overjoyed and cried out for help even harder.
At this moment, there was a sound of breaking the air in her ears, and a bone arrow passed by, and at the same time, a man's roar came from behind her, signaling her to hurry away.
The first batch of Hu people who rushed out of the quicksand were only dozens of horses, but they were divided into two waves.
The twenty or so riders in front, led by a man, protected the woman and the child in her arms, and fought and retreated.
The enemy behind them was a little more numerous, and in addition to chasing from behind, they were constantly trying to outflank them from both flanks.
Although the arrows of the Han army were shining with cold light, the woman gritted her teeth and hugged her child, leaned down on the horse, and continued to rush forward.
It is better to die at the hands of the Han army than to be captured by the pursuers in the rear.
Calling for help in Chinese saved her and her child's lives.
In the end, the scout didn't shoot an arrow at her, or because she was a woman with the baby in her arms, so he didn't pose much of a threat, so he let her rush to safety.
But the people behind were not so lucky.
Some people want to do the same.
But the sudden burst of arrows let them know what a strong bow and a hard crossbow are.
The first Hu rider who rushed to the cordon was killed.
The scouts, who had seen the situation, had already dispersed with a roar, and at the same time some people were running backwards, this was to report to the army.
Hu Qi, who wanted to outflank him from the flank, saw that three or five Han army scouts on the other side actually dared to come.
They seemed to be red-eyed, and stood still, then took their bows at the scout.
The scout is the elite of the army, how can he not see the intentions of the other party?
"No mercy!"
The scout was on the back of a galloping horse, and without delay, the arrows came first!
Although he didn't hit the target, in this case, it still made Hu Qi lose color: "Condor shooter!" ”
And not a single condor shooter, it turned out to be all of them!
The deterrent effect of the Condor Shooter on the steppe people really went deep into the bone marrow.
Hu Qi didn't have time to think about it, how could the rare condor shooters on the grassland suddenly appear in front of him.
At this moment, only the whistle was heard from behind.
Hu Qi heard that this was a whistle unique to his tribe, and immediately quickly turned his horse's head and ran backwards without looking back. It was just a face-to-face confrontation, and there were a few more corpses on the ground.
The three sides of the battle became two sides, and the scouts still did not put down their weapons, they kept jogging around the remaining dozen or so, ready to speed up at any time.
It is clear that although the pursuers ran away, the Han scouts still regarded the remaining people as imaginary enemies.
"Dismount and discard!"
Someone from the Han army scout shouted.
Although the number of people was smaller than that of the other party, the Han army scouts were full of confidence.
Whether it was far away, or maybe they couldn't understand it, the knights still looked at the scout with their weapons pointed at them, and seemed a little overwhelmed.
After shouting two or three times, seeing that the other party was disobedient, the scout was ready to start making a move.
The woman who rushed out of the quicksand first saw that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly shouted at those people in Hu language, and at the same time she dismounted with the child in her arms.
Hearing the woman's shout, the dozen or so horsemen still hesitated.
In this case, if you dismount and abandon your weapon, it means that you will be slaughtered by others.
Seeing that the other party did not mean to be obedient, the scout had already begun to raise his crossbow to aim.
Seeing that the atmosphere had just calmed down slightly, and suddenly the tension became again, and the woman was in a hurry, and turned her head to the scout and shouted:
"Are you Han Jun? We are here to take refuge in Feng Langjun! ”
Han Jiayin, Feng Langjun.
The woman's words saved the horses.
At last someone from the scout rode up to her and asked condescendingly:
"Who are you?"
"We are here from Ju Yanze, and we are going to come over to join Feng Langjun."
The woman held the child in her arms and replied in a quick tone, not daring to slack off.
The scout stretched out his bow and ripped open the woman's long messy hair: "Han girl? Hu Nu? ”
"I'm Han."
The scout nodded, and then looked at Hu Qi not far away, "Then how can you be with Hu Ren?" ”
The woman lowered her head and muttered, "My eldest father was moved to the house of Juyanze Tunken by the imperial court, and later the imperial army withdrew. ”
"We have no way to return to our ancestral hometown, so we can only stay in Juyanze and become a remnant ......"
The frontier land has become a Hu land, what can the remnants of the Han family do?
Now that he can speak fluent Chinese, he already has a Han family in his heart.
"But my child is a son of the Han family, really, I gave him a Han family name......"
The woman looked up, her face full of pleading, "Please! Let's go over and let my children live. ”
"Where are you going? This is already the boundary of the Great Han Liangzhou Thorn Mansion, and everything must be arranged by the Thorn Mansion. ”
"Feng Junhou already knew that someone was going south from the weak water, so he sent us to guard here early."
The scout pointed to the horsemen, "Why haven't they dismounted yet?" ”
Hearing that the scout officially recognized that he was under Feng Langjun's command, the woman cried with joy and hurriedly shouted at those people.
Feng Langjun's reputation is very useful.
Hu Qi listened, and finally began to dismount hesitantly.
"You two, keep guarding here. For the rest, follow me and bring them back to the army. ”
These scouts have Hu and Han, but the leader is a Han person.
He gave some orders, and then led the men who were going south to the camp in the rear.
With the news brought by these people, Ju Yanze's situation soon became clear.
Last winter, the northern desert was much more serious than the white plague in Liangzhou.
As soon as spring began, many tribes in the desert began to move south to Juyanze.
Juyanze is rich in water and grass and fertile land, so Hanhu, who originally lived here, can still get by.
Now the influx of a large number of Hexi Xianbei has caused friction from the beginning.
Later, it was directly plundering between tribes.
What can't people do in order to survive?
Not to mention the Hu people who carved the plunder into their bones.
Juyanze eventually became a slaughterhouse.
slaughtering cattle and sheep, and slaughtering people alive.
This woman is married to the leader of a small tribe, and she is not qualified to survive this chaos in Juyanze.
So you can only go all the way south along the weak water.
Even so, those Hu people who followed from the desert were still unwilling to let them go.
After learning about Ju Yanze's situation, Liu Hun and the bald Khotanese looked at each other.
The real situation of the so-called Juyan Zehu people's movements, it turned out to be like this?
"They definitely still have to go south, Ju Yanze's little thing, there is no way to support them for a year."
Liu Hun said slowly, "The key now is, what do they want to do when they go south?" ”
If it's a refuge, then it's all easy to say.
If it is a dead nature, then change the set of statements.
But in any case, it is necessary for the military to step up its guards.
The Xianbei Hu people came quickly, faster than Liu Hun expected.
Two days later, a large number of Hu cavalry appeared not far in front of the camp.
The Hu people also sent envoys to the army, informing Liu Hun that they wanted to enter Liangzhou and go to attach themselves to Feng Langjun, hoping that the army would get out of the way and give him permission.
"It's been a long time since I've heard anyone dare to speak like this since I followed the prince."
Liu Hun smiled angrily, "Do they think that we are also the same as them, but the Hu people who entered Liangzhou earlier than them?" ”
This time, although there is a new battalion of the Assassin Mansion in the south, the bald cavalry is the main force, and they are also from Xianbei.
Besides, the forces of all parties in Liangzhou before were originally mixed with Han and Hu in the army.
Therefore, it is normal for the other party to misunderstand that the new camp is the attachment of the bald department.
And the tone of the other party is not as unbearable as Liu Hun said.
But things are comparatively out.
Over the years, from Nanxiang to Longyou, and then to Liangzhou, which Hu tribe dared to speak like this to Feng Junhou's subordinates?
Not to mention that Liu Hun originally regarded himself as a descendant of the Han family's Liao generals, and when he became the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, he felt that he was justified.
Since he sees the difference between Han and Hu as more important than the real Han people.
"General, what do we do then? In my opinion, they are in full swing as they are now, and I am afraid that they will not listen to advice. ”
Of course, the momentum is strong, after all, it was only a massacre in Juyanze.
"In their hands, when there are a lot of Han people who have plundered from Juyanze, let them hand them over first to show their sincerity."
Liu Hun said lightly.
"What if they don't?"
As a Xianbei person, Bald Khotan Li understands the psychology of the same western Xianbei better than Liu Hun.
remembered that when he met Feng Junhou for the first time, he sat on a horse, held a horsewhip, and pointed at Feng Junhou to speak.
"Then they didn't come to join the prince sincerely, but they just wanted to use this name to enter Liangzhou to plunder."
Liu Hun sneered.
The bald Khotan glanced at Zhang Yuan, who was sitting silently on the side.
This trip to the new camp of the Assassin Mansion was led by Zhang Yuan.
Most of them are new soldiers who have just come out of the new barracks, and the lieutenants and marquis in the army are all students who have come out of the lecture hall.
There are only a few veterans as the backbone.
Zhang Yuan felt the bald gaze and said slowly:
"Being evil in Hudi is because you don't understand the etiquette of China, which can be understood; But at this time in the Han land, you need to follow the etiquette of the Han family. The mountain chief doesn't need those Hu people who don't know the rules. ”
The bald Khotan immediately understood, only to see that his eyes showed a ruthless look:
"Leave it to me, and if they don't understand, I'll teach them."
Compared with Liu Hun, the bald Khotan Li believed in the students brought out by Feng Junhou himself.
Thighs, you must pick the thickest hug.
The Xianbei people on the opposite side quickly received the other party's request:
All the Han people who had plundered from Juyanze were released, and all the livestock and grain obtained were to be returned.
This request immediately angered the Xianbei people.
What are they going south for?
Isn't that what it's all about?
Now as soon as the other side opens his mouth, he will take away the loot he has worked so hard to grab?
Crazy, right?
Besides, who knows which slave is Han and which is Hu?
This is a deliberate embarrassment!
Anyway, in this place of Liangzhou, it's not a day or two of chaos.
The Han government can't manage it at all.
Forming Hu cavalry to deal with the Hu people is a trick of the Han people, and it is not a big deal.
As long as the enemy in front of you is defeated, I believe that the Han government will know what it means to be a warrior from the grassland......
The whining horns were heard, and occasionally there was a shrill beeping.
Xianbei people are very simple, and as soon as they can't talk, they start to prepare to do it.
It's the old job, it's always easy.
"Array!"
Zhang Yuan personally led people to set up the formation, and layers of crossbowmen were distributed on the bank of the river like fish scales.
"Don't be nervous, listen to the password, it's like training on a weekday."
Zhang Yuan corrected the team while cheering up.
Don't look at his age, but in fact, the students of the Wutang who were with him had already fought with the Long March of the mountains a few years earlier.
Since the Battle of Longyou, they have already seen blood.
In addition, the study in the lecture martial arts hall has made rapid progress.
Compared to those recruits, they are already veterans in the army.
Liu Hun led more than 300 cavalry troops to escort the new battalion.
If something happens, he's responsible for picking up the students.
Although the Xianbei people are composed of various tribes, they all roared together, and the black pressure was also quite shocking.
Many of the soldiers in the new battalion showed a slight look of panic.
"Don't panic! Follow me! ”
The backbone veterans around him know that the more this time, the more they have to cheer up.
And those students showed excitement.
This was the first time they had led a battle on their own, and it was a collaboration with their classmates.
They are the best students, and they can't lose the face of the mountain chief, the face of Nanxiang, the face of the school, and the face of the martial arts hall......
The students in charge of ranging widened their eyes, looked at Wangshan, did not dare to blink, and silently read in their mouths:
"Three hundred and fifty steps, three hundred and forty steps, three hundred and twenty steps......"
Zhang Yuan is the calmest.
He stood there straight, motionless.
"Three hundred steps!"
The student in charge of the distance measurement suddenly shouted loudly.
"Raise the flag! Drumming! ”
The drums sounded, and the lieutenants of the various corps began to order: "Lift! Ready, aim! ”
"Whoa......
"Two hundred and fifty steps!"
"Put!"
"Puffy Puff!"
The arrows flew like locusts, densely packed, and the bright sky was cloudy.
The strong bow and hard crossbow made by Hanyang Standard became the life harvester.
Long arrows pierced the horses and human bodies, and hot blood spurted into the sky......
