Chapter 481: The Hu People's Tribe
In the early morning, the grassland is full of emerald green, stretching to the side of the mountain, and then it becomes deeper under the change of light and shadow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The breeze blows, the slender and long grass leaves sway, and the crystal dew slowly rolls down the leaves, like a transparent pearl, exuding colorful brilliance.
Through the crystal clear dewdrops, you can see several tents scattered not far away, and a large wooden fence surrounded by some cattle and sheep......
The curtain of the tent, which was stacked with thick cloth patches, was lifted, and out of it came a bearded woman with a kettle around her waist, her wide sheepskin robe, which was shabby but clean, and the slightly weak plush trembled gently in the air.
Humming an unknown tune, the bearded girl turned to the back of the tent, pushed open the half-man-high fence, and came to a cow.
First I cut some hay and put it in the trough to feed the cow, and then I scratched the cow's neck and patted it twice.
The cow mooed lowly, grinding hay in her mouth, and her dark eyes rolled as if she were smiling slightly.
Hu Nu squatted down, approached the cow's abdomen, first sighed in her hands, and then rubbed her hands several times, rubbing her palms a little softer, and then reached out and scooped a swollen milk, gently and gently squeezing it.
Snow-white milk splashed in the kettle, swishing, stirring up a shallow layer of foam......
A black-billed sparrow flew over in a daze, then landed in the grass, tilted its head slightly, and then jumped forward with its legs, lowered its head and pecked at something on the ground.
Suddenly, the black-billed sparrow suddenly raised its head, stiffened its neck, tilted its head sideways as if listening to something, and then kicked its legs, and in the blink of an eye, it flew into the sky.
The sparrow flew higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye it swept over the vast meadow, and then flew over a small hillside, and suddenly saw the cavalry sweeping like a dark cloud, and immediately fluttered its wings in a panic, flapped off two or three feathers, and fled to the sky......
The soft gray-white feathers fluttered down in the air, and then they were blown by the wind carried by the cavalry below, and they disappeared in an instant.
I heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, which shook the earth as if it were trembling.
The bearded woman in front of the tent was walking back with half a pot of milk, but she saw that the milk in the kettle began to ripple in circles, and a few drops of milk were even shaken and jumped out......
A shadow loomed.
A tricolor flag rose from the top of the hill, and a knight showed his body in the sunlight, his face hidden in shadow, and only the long knife on the horse's back could be seen glinting with a chilling light.
Hu Nu's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, her hands loosened, and the small copper kettle fell straight to the ground, splashing milk everywhere......
More and more cavalry showed their bodies on the hillside, and the black pressed stood in a line, and the horses of various colors snorted and spewed hot air, covering the figures of these cavalry in a distorted light mist.
In the sharp and miserable shouts of the Hu Nu, Ma Yue raised the long knife in his hand, and immediately the cavalry rode down, like a big crab, stretching out two thick long claws, and clamped it towards the Hu tribe in front of him......
The sound of horns sounded in the air, and many Hu men emerged from their tents, either armed with bows and arrows or holding long knives, but they were already a step too late.
Dozens of arrows were nailed to the open space in front of the tent as if they were drawn lines, and the black arrow shafts and white arrow feathers seemed to have drawn a forbidden area, which suddenly froze the actions of these Hu people.
Although no one said a word, and no one shouted, these arrows were full of strong deterrence and warning, and everyone knew that if there was any more hostile action, then the next batch of arrows should be pierced into people......
Ma Yue sat on the horseback, and didn't even look at the panicked small tribe Hu people, but focused on the group of cavalry under his command, watching them gallop in a staggered manner, twisting and twisting a few times like twisted flowers, cutting the entire Hu tribe into scattered pieces.
The Hu cavalry, or the cavalry of the Southern Xiongnu, may be due to its own defects, or perhaps it is an innate adaptation, and it is more skilled and tacit than the Han cavalry in Bingzhou.
Ma Yue has been observing and summarizing before, when the Hu people charge and attack, they basically don't need special orders, and they look like a mess when they first set off to gallop, but in the process of charging, they will slowly and automatically and spontaneously change the formation to the sharp arrow formation!
The most special thing is that there is no one guiding the dispatch during the whole process, just like the instinct engraved in Hu Ren's body, easily adjusting the rhythm and pace of the attack.
This kind of tacit cooperation within the small-scale team is one of the skills that Ma Yue lacked the most.
But now, it seems to be being made up little by little.
Compared to the previous times, it felt much smoother......
Ma Yue tilted his chin slightly, sitting upright on the horse's back, and the guards behind him were also holding the battle flag, as steady as Mount Tai, and did not issue any orders, that is, it was completely dependent on the automatic adjustment of the soldiers and low-ranking non-commissioned officers. This kind of spontaneous subtle cooperation can more effectively adapt to the changes on the battlefield, and the soldiers do not need to pay attention to the movements of the central battle flag all the time, but only need to cooperate with the surrounding comrades-in-arms and obey the dispatch arrangements of the low-level non-commissioned officers.
In other words, the original cavalry of the Han people was strong and powerful, but it was slightly lacking in agility, just like a mechanical puppet, every move had to be coordinated and commanded by the central commander, and it was difficult to avoid dullness and rigidity......
"Raise the flag! Honk! Ma Yue saw that the entire tribal scene had basically been controlled, so he ordered.
A double-headed golden crow battle flag was held high, and Yu Feiqian's tricolor battle flag was juxtaposed, and at the same time, the desolate and distant horn horn sounded at the same time......
After receiving the signal, the cavalry under Ma Yue began to shout in short nonsense, ordering all the people in the small tribe to kneel, and those who violated the order were beheaded!
The hooves of the war horses were flying, and the blades of grass were shuttling around the tent, and the short and stiff nonsense was repeated, uncontested and questioned, with a bloody smell of rust spots.
Within the Hu tribe, some people hugged their heads in horror and cried, some stared left and right with wide eyes, and some clung to something around them, as if they were using it to provide strength for themselves to stand.
An old hand slowly lifted the corner of the tent, revealing a little coldness......
