Chapter 5 The head is used as a wine device, and Taima is invincible
The small number of Chiloudan tribesmen mixed in the slave cavalry couldn't control so many people at all, and no matter how much they drew their swords and slashed, they couldn't stop them from fleeing in fright.
Linghu Feng adhered to the style of quick reaction, immediately took off the simple shield made for him by Cao Fei from the side of the saddle, leaned over the horse, covered himself with the shield, did not say a word of greeting, and immediately urged the mount to turn, and did not turn back directly, but ran away to the side.
At this time, most of the people who came were the pursuers of the He cadres, and they must not throw themselves into the net, but they had to go around it.
Cao Fei hit the horse and followed, and shouted at Xin Er and Fu Qiao: "Don't you want to leave yet?" Xin Er came back to his senses and hurriedly followed with Fu Qiao. As for the slaves and maids who were singled out to pretend to be Zuo and the children, whether they were dead or alive could only be resigned to fate.
The sturdy slaves were left behind by the red slaves, and all the old and sick were sent out, and thousands of people fled eastward, and some fled south, and the people shouted and screamed, and made a mess, and sometimes the two horses collided, and from time to time some were thrown to the ground by their mounts, and the slaves and maids who landed on the ground or were trampled by the horses' hooves, either broke their legs and broken arms, or their chests sank and vomited blood.
Ling Hu Feng ignored it, and only trampled the horse with his head and trampled quickly. He rode the same snow-like dragon, this Western horse was eight feet high at the shoulder, with long legs, and it was really like a dragon when galloping. Cao Fei and the others' horses were much worse and barely followed. Xin Er wanted to avoid those Hu Nu who had fallen off the horse, but he couldn't help himself, so he had to run by himself.
Galloping away from the main area of the confusion of the slaves, the surrounding area was much more empty, and several people sped up their horses.
The main force of the He cadres was attracted by the slave riders, and in order to grab more "trophies", most of them chased the slave riders, and the small rate leading the team and He Dehu's sons could not restrain them.
Linghu Feng and the others can quietly get out of the danger area, at this time, more than ten He cadres of the breed from the side rushed, they saw the hair bun of several people at a glance, found Ling Hu Feng mount Shenjun, and immediately knew that this person must be what they wanted to catch, abandoned the four or five slave horses that were chasing, shouted and besieged. Xin Er looked and saw that they had pigtails, dirty clothes and boots, riding with bows, and their appearance was extremely fierce.
Cao Fei didn't panic at all.
He wore two armors, relied on the strength of his armor, deceived the enemy without a strong bow, put away the wooden spear, and did not avoid the enemy's arrows, pulled the bow and arrows, and shot over, the arrow was like a god, and shot down three people one after another. Xin Er faced the sparse enemy arrows, tried to calm down, and also shot arrows with a bow, the first few arrows were soft, and with the conditioned reflex of regaining the muscles, the arrows fell more and more accurately, and shot two enemy horses successively. Fu Qiao didn't know how to shoot arrows, and just covered his face with his sleeves, as if he could block the enemy's arrows. Linghu Feng refused to put down his shield, and only rushed forward with his head bored.
Seeing that Cao Fei's armor could not be penetrated, the two enemy horsemen relied on their own courage and swung their swords to fight him in close combat. Cao Fei held a bow in his left hand, picked up a wooden spear in his right hand, clamped it under his armpit, and took a look at the two horses.
Between the lightning and flint, Xin Er saw clearly: it was Cao Fei who hit a person with the tip of the spear first, the wooden spear was not strong enough, and it was broken into two under the impact, Cao Fei then slid the hand holding the handle to the severed end, swept up horizontally, and swept away the long knife cut by another enemy horse that was approaching by the gap, stabbed down the side, and hit the shoulder blade of this horse, and blood spurted out of Lao Gao. Although the opponent is a tribesman who has not undergone strict training, Cao Fei's combination with these two horsemen is clean and neat, but it is also very extraordinary.
Xin Erxin said: "No wonder Linghu Feng relies on him so much. It's no wonder that he was not only not afraid just now, but also arrogant.
The rest of the He cadres and people fled in all directions. Cao Fei dropped the broken spear and said, "They must have called someone to go, let's go quickly." "Two fists are hard to beat four hands, once they fall into the encirclement, ants can also bite the elephant to death, it is Cao Fei who only said "three or twenty thieves", if there are more, even if the martial arts are as brave as him, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the fox.
After Linghu Feng's horse, everyone galloped quickly.
On the way, I met a few people from He cadres, but because Linghu Feng saw the opportunity quickly, several people slipped away early, and they made a detour, so they did not meet a large number of people from He cadres, and those they met were all killed by Cao Fei.
Coming out of the oasis, he walked slowly for most of the day, and at this time he even went around a small half circle, and it took less than an hour to run back, and he saw the green from a distance, so that Hu Feng did not rush in, after all, he didn't know how the victory or defeat of the red slave was, so he asked Cao Fei to go and see first.
Cao Fei quickly turned back and said, "Chi Lou Dan has already broken through the He cadres and is looting and looting. ”
The plan succeeded, but Ling Hu Feng was not happy, frowned and said, "Looting and looting? ”
Xin Er also felt that it was inappropriate for Chi Lou Dan to do this, and said in his heart: "At this time, it is time to go out of the continent to attack the cavalry outside the He cadres, but how can the troops plunder?" ”
Linghu Feng said: "Lead the way." ”
Cao Fei led the way, and they went to the He cadres in the continent. Xin Er followed for a while, and found that Fu Qiao was not by his side, and turned his head to see him grinning and holding his left arm, it turned out that he had been hit by an arrow at some point. Xin Er helped him cut off the arrow and bandage it slightly.
Just experienced a "battle of life and death", smelling that the red slave had achieved great success, the heavy pressure suddenly relaxed, in this case, people can't help but want to speak, and Xin Er, who has been silent for a long time, rarely joked to Fu Qiao, and said: "Master's big sleeves don't look very good, and they can't stop the arrows of Cadre He." Fu Qiao sighed bitterly and said, "The experience of these days has never been dreamed of before!" ”
Xin Er was silent, and he was not. The two caught up with Ling Hufeng and Cao Fei.
He was still far away from Cadre He, and he saw black smoke billowing out. As several people approached, laughter, cries, screams, begs for mercy, and other sounds mixed together and poured into their ears; When they entered the tent area, the condition was terrible, with dead and wounded everywhere, and blood flowed like streams.
Some of the people of Chiloudan carried knives and horses to go through the tents, and some went into the tents in groups of three or two to search and rob, and when they met resistance, they killed and injured them on the spot, and when they saw the women with a slight appearance, they dragged them along, ignoring the cries of the children, and some of them divided the spoils unevenly, and fought with each other. Some tents collapsed to the ground, the extinguished fires were blown up by the wind, and the fires that were still burning were left untouched; As far as the eye can see, there are killed and injured He cadres and men and women, and even young children under the age of a month; Women, children, and the elderly were gathered and watched.
Cao Fei grabbed a person from Chilou Dan, asked where the bald red slave was, stepped on the blood, and led Hu Feng and others to find it. After passing through most of the hellish camp, I came to a gorgeous tent, which was the big tent for the discussion of the He cadres.
The tent was opened, and dozens of corpses were poured inside and outside, most of them were wearing leather armor and should be the guards of the tent, and the rest were not young, wearing gold and silver, and they were the nobles of the He cadres. Surrounded by seven or eight armorers, the bald red slave stood with his arms crossed, smiling as he watched the two armorers cut the head of a corpse with a dagger, and blood splattered the two armorers with full sleeves and half of their clothes, and their faces were all over the place.
Cao Fei glanced at the corpse with his head cut off and said, "Yo, isn't this He Dehu?" This is dead, is it unwilling to surrender? "How to say it, it was also a big rate, and it was ruined in a blink of an eye.
Xin Er asked, "What did those two men do by cutting off his head?" Hanging your head in public? ”
"What are the people? He Dehu is the old enemy of the Bald Company, and the Ministry wants to make his head into a wine vessel. Yes, the ministry invited me to the banquet last time, you didn't go because of your injury, and you didn't see his drinking skulls. He toasted me with that thing. Cao Fei smacked his mouth, as if he was reminiscing.
I just thought about it slightly, and the scene when the bald red slave took the head of the wine to Cao Fei and served the wine, and Cao Fei drank it all, and Xin Er was about to retch. He turned his face away, no longer looking at the scene where the people of Chilou Dan cut off He Dehu's head, and said in his heart: "I have lived in Huzhong these days, and I haven't seen any barbarism from them, so I don't want to see this today, and I have to hear about it." ”
After killing the enemy, cut off his head, peel off the scalp, sawed off from below the eyebrow bone, and then use the left skull as a drinking vessel, the custom of boasting to others is not exclusive to the Hu people, it is experienced by almost all ethnic groups, including the Tang people, but with the strengthening of civilization, the Tang people have long abandoned it.
Linghu Feng asked Ballian Chinu: "Big brother, why didn't you send elite horsemen to chase me after defeating He cadres?" I see that there are no less than 3,000 people, all of them are strong, if the eldest brother does not take advantage of the victory to attack quickly, I am afraid that there will be trouble! ”
Ballian Chinu smiled and said: "I have sent two thousand horsemen, and I will crouch on the way back to them, and when the head of this He Dehu is cut off, I will make people hold it to show each other, and confuse the morale of their army, and they will be able to win easily." ”
Linghu was overjoyed, and he also asked the red slave to borrow troops, and if he asked for it, he flattered and said: "The eldest brother is resourceful, but I am too worried." ”
As expected by the bald and red slaves, after the more than 3,000 horsemen of the He cadres returned from capturing hundreds of slave horses, they never expected that the old nest was actually ended by the Chilou Dan Department, and the Ministry was also killed. Each small rate led the people of Benluo to surrender, and even more clever, he captured He Dehu's sons one step ahead of others and dedicated them to his former opponents.
In a difficult living environment, all the goals are only to survive, everything else is nonsense, some Tang people think that the Hu people are cunning and repeated, and its essence is really here, the warehouse is insufficient, how to fulfill loyalty? Moreover, Hu Mu does not have centralized politics, even if he surrenders, it is actually not much different for the small rate of each tribe, at most it is just a large rate, which is better than being defeated and captured and becoming a slave.
There are also those who are unwilling to surrender, but it will be winter soon, and the oases on the desert have owners, so where can they go without surrendering? Are you dying of hunger and thirst in the desert? Do you want to go to the mainland of Longzhou? Except for a few, the Liuyi in Longnei today are all slaves of the Tang people, either ploughing land for the Tang people or grazing for the Tang people.
As a result, the Chilou Dan tribe won a complete victory with only a few casualties.
Ballian Chinu accepted the surrendered Hegan cadres, and from then on, the two departments were merged into one, and there was no longer the name of Hegan, only Chiloudan. He Dehu's sons and immediate family members, bald and red slaves, did not leave any of them, all of them were killed, and another person was selected to take He Dehu's direct domain.
The tribesmen of the Chilou Dan Department looted for two days in a row and ransacked the He cadres. This winter, it will be very difficult for cadres to endure.
The other three smaller tribes on the shore of Inoze successively sent people to send gifts such as horses, alpacas, goods, slaves and maidservants to the Vullian Red Nu as a sign of submission.
He Tehhu's fantasy of conquering the Chilou Dan tribe and then occupying these three smaller tribes to become a hegemon was "unrewarded", and this vision was realized in the hands of the Ballian Red Nu.
Sitting on the five divisions and dominating the pig Nozawa alone, the bald red slave was full of ambition, stood on tiptoe, patted Ling Hufeng's shoulder, and said to him sincerely: "This time, you can swallow He Gan and subdue the three, it is all your good plan!" Little brother, when the winter is over, I will personally lead 10,000 riders to help you return the capital! ”
Linghu Feng nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "When I ascend the throne, eldest brother, the north of the king's capital, it's all yours!" ”
That night, after the drunken bald red slave clouds and rain, he fell asleep, snoring mixed with dreams, and murmured: "When my messenger returns, I will tie you up and give the king of the west!" After exhaling twice, he added, "The north of the royal capital is mine, but I'm afraid that I won't have my life to enjoy it." Jia Zhen's heart jumped and asked, "Ministry, what did you say?" Ballian Chinu said: "I'm a little person, I have no armor and no weapons, what can I do to fight with the king of Dingxi?" One battalion of horses is enough to slaughter my entire clan! He rolled over and snorted.
