The wind was cold, the snow was fluttering, and the sky seemed to have been pierced by a sharp blade, pouring endless anger. The sky and the earth are vast, and it is almost impossible to distinguish day from night. The 300 warriors led by Geng Gong rode carefully selected horses, wore hard and distinctive armor, and wore invincible sabers at their waists, galloping through the snow, splashing snow chips.

Ran for three days. Suddenly, the horse ran a little strangely, and between the vertical jumps, it seemed to have a sense of falling short, Wu Meng said: "Brother, something is wrong, why does this horse seem to run a little bumpy?" ”

Geng Gong and Fan Qiang glanced at each other and said, "That's true." ”

Only Li Dang didn't notice it at all, and said with a smile: "Where is it, my brothers didn't drink and sat comfortably on the horse, how could they be tossed and turned?" ”

Wu Meng jumped off the horse, looked around the horse several times, but there was no injury, he thought about it, leaned down, layer by layer, carefully swept away the layer of snow on it, and then gently pulled out the soft snow, after digging, there were two regular footprints!

Geng Gong was overjoyed and said: "If someone passes by here, it must be the Huns." ”

Li Dang was very curious, and inexplicable, and said: "Brother, I can see it clearly, these footprints are clearly taken out by Brother Meng, why did they become the footprints of the Huns again?" Hmph, I can also take out such footprints, believe it or not? After speaking, Li Dare jumped off the horse, squatted down, and learned from Wu Meng's appearance, wanting to dig out the snow.

Wu Meng smiled and said, "Brother, there is a mystery, you don't understand." Someone passed by here before, leaving footprints, you see this footprint, thick, deep and large, clearly stepped on by the Huns' riding boots. The snow must have stopped for a few days, and the footprints became icy, and then it snowed again, and although the snow filled the footprints, it was definitely loose because it was fresh snow, which was easy to layer with the previous footprints. So, when the horse steps into the footprints, it sinks, and the force on the four feet is different, so it is bumpy. ”

Li Dang looked dazed, scratched his head, and said, "What my brother said seems to make sense, but I still can't figure it out, so I'll take two footprints and take a look." After speaking, he leaned over and used his hands together, shaved up the snow, and after a while, he dug a big hole, but where did it look like footprints? Fan Qiang laughed and said, "Li Kang, whose footprints are so big?" You better stop, you can't figure out this question, otherwise you won't be Li Dare. After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, following Wu Meng's example to look for footprints. Li Dang cracked his mouth, but he was not convinced, and wanted to dig it out again, Geng Gong hurriedly said: "Don't, Brother Dare, you should stay aside, you will dig out the old footprints by you." ”

Li Dang was so angry that he gasped. Geng Gong and the three of them looked for more than a dozen footprints, looked at each other and smiled, Geng Gong said: "That's right, these footprints point directly to the north, and the Huns really went to the north." Let's go, let's speed up and pursue the Huns! Geng Gong led the army in the direction of the footprints and galloped in the snowstorm.

Finally, after crossing the endless snowy area, a green grassland came into view. Li Dang jumped off the horse, rolled on the grass, pulled up a handful of grass, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and said happily: "Haha, that damn snowflake is finally gone, brother, you see, this green grass is really fucking fragrant." ”

Geng Gong couldn't help laughing, and said: "Brother Dare, you really should read more books, describe grass, can't vulgarly say 'really fucking fragrant', Brother Meng, you are full of poetry books, can you write a poem?" Wu Meng couldn't help but itch, thought for a while, and said: "The grass is on the green plain, and the strong man's heart is not old; Thousands of miles pounding the Yellow Dragon, blood rushing to thousands of Zhanghao! Geng Gong chanted several times, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and high-fived: "What a 'thousands of miles to pound the Yellow Dragon, blood rushes to ten thousand feet!'" 'Good poetry! Good poetry! This time, we must enter the court of the Huns, and let their sinful blood achieve the pride in our hearts! ”

Fan Qiang was puzzled, he stared at the grass tightly, and suddenly said, "Look, this grass has traces of being gnawed." Geng Gong turned his head and saw that there was a difference in the thickness and length of the grass, and said happily: "I expect that the Huns must be in front, brothers, get on the horse and look for it carefully!" ”

Geng Gong led the crowd to continue to gallop on horseback, and after an hour, Fan Qiang suddenly said: "Stop!" Geng Gong was inexplicable, but he stopped his subordinates according to his words. Li dared to say: "Fan Qiang, what kind of medicine are you selling in this stuffy gourd?" I'm about to find the Huns, why stop? Fan Qiang ignored him, raised his eyes and stared into the distance, and said: "There is a tent faintly ahead, that's right, that's the Huns!" I saw a few Huns faintly walking around! ”

Li Dang's neck stretched out, and he learned from Fan Qiang in a good way, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything except the vast green, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, and said: "Brother Qiang, nothing, are you clairvoyant" Geng Gong and Wu Meng didn't see anything, so they turned their heads and looked at Fan Qiang together.

Fan Qiang said with a smile: "My ancestor was a hunter, I like to hunt since I was a child, and my eyesight is two or three times better than that of ordinary people, so you can't see it, but I can see it." ”

Geng Gong was overjoyed: "Then why are you hesitating to do it?" Who would dare to go over and find out about the military? When Li Dang heard this, he immediately said: "I am a pioneer officer, of course I will go." Geng Gong said: "Anyone can go, but you can't go!" The last time I hit Kamihara, I was almost delayed by you. Boss Li Dang was unhappy, and said: "Brother is really careful, hundreds of years have passed, and I still remember it in my heart......" Geng Gong turned his head to Wu Meng and said: "Brother Meng, you are as careful as a hair, and you are also wise and brave, how about you go for a walk?" Wu Meng promised and slapped his horse away.

Soon, Wu Meng saw that there were indeed dozens of tents in front of him, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim his surprise: "Brother Qiang's eyesight is really extraordinary!" Seeing that each tent of the Huns had wheels, he thought: "Brother Geng said that the Huns are prepared for danger in times of peace and have a strong sense of vigilance, so each tent is equipped with wheels in order to escape quickly when encountering danger, and it seems that this is the case!" I have to be more careful not to startle the snake. With his legs on his legs, he jumped off his horse, hid his horse in a hidden place, straightened his sword at his waist, and crept toward the tent.

It's close! Wu Meng hid in the grass and saw Hun soldiers in twos and threes, wearing leather felt, stepping on animal skin shoes, holding sabers, shuttling back and forth in the camp. Wu Meng stared at it, there was fire in his eyes, his hand couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword, he remembered that night, the Huns held a torch in one hand and a saber in the other, rushed into the house, cut everyone they met, robbed when they saw things, a happy home, like a mirror, instantly shattered into thousands of pieces!

When the Huns returned to the camp, Wu Meng thought to himself, he had to arrest a Hun and ask about the situation, and he must be calm and reckless. He listened intently, and the sound of hay was being beaten in front of him. Click, click, very monotonous. Like a tiger discovering its prey, he bent his waist and quietly walked forward, closer, closer, he slowly drew his sword, and suddenly rushed forward with lightning speed!

"Master, why are you here!"

Just when Wu Meng was about to capture the man, a familiar voice came, which shocked him, and just as he was about to take a closer look, a Hun soldier on horseback galloped over while asking: "Hey, that barbarian, who are you talking to?" Wu Meng had no way out, he was in a hurry, and when he saw a pile of wool in front of him, he didn't say a word, and got into it.

"Master Jun, I didn't say anything." The man who threaked the forage said respectfully.

The Huns rode on a tall horse, and their fierce eyes swept around the man's face, and said, "I obviously heard you talking, and why did the pile of wool move?" ”

"Oh, Master Jun, a cat was here just now, and when he heard the sound of your horse, he was so frightened that he got into the wool pile."

The Hun soldier tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "You turn this pile of wool upside down and take a look." The man did not hesitate, picked up a ball of wool, and muttered, "Damn cat, well, what are you doing in the pile of wool?" With such a big pile, how can I finish moving, I am still in a hurry to beat the forage, and the forage cannot be finished, and the master has to beat me again. ”

As he was talking, there were a few "meows" from the wool pile, and the man put the wool down and said, "Master Jun, I said it's a cat." You see I still have so much forage to beat, if I delay my master's horse, the little one can't afford it? ”

Seeing this, the Huns jumped off their horses, drew their knives, and slashed a few times in the wool pile, but when they saw that there was no movement, they rode away. Seeing that there was no one around, the man whispered to the pile of wool: "Master, there is no one, come out." ”

Wu Meng came out of the pile of wool, looked at the man, was surprised and delighted, and said, "Wu Bao, why are you?" Why are you here? Wu Bao didn't answer, pulled Wu Meng to a hidden place, and said with tears: "Master, I finally saw you, I thought I couldn't go back in this life!" ”

Wu Meng stared at Wu Bao, only to see that his forehead was bald, there was a small braid on each side, he was wearing short clothes and Hu clothes, he looked like a Hun completely, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, you are a lot older." ”

Wu Bao cried: "Master, if I see you today, I will die tomorrow, and I am willing." Wu Meng suddenly grabbed his sleeve and asked in horror: "Wu Bao, tell me, where are my mother and my wife?" ”

Wu Bao didn't answer, but cried even more sadly. Wu Meng shook his body and tried his best to lower his voice and asked, "Where are they?" Where is it? You mean. ”

Wu Bao said: "Master, that night, after the Huns knocked you unconscious, they killed the master, killed many servants, robbed the old lady and the young lady, and some servants. They carried us all the way north to the territory of the Xiongnu. The Huns wanted to be rude to the young lady, the young lady resisted, and the Huns were angry and killed the old lady and the young lady, as well as many servants. When they saw that I was cowardly and obedient, they did not kill me. ”

Wu Meng bit his lip tightly, his eyes breathing fire. When he woke up that day, his house was in shambles, full of dead bodies, and he found the bodies of his father and son, but not his mother and wife. He was looking forward to having a glimmer of hope, and when he saw Wu Bao, this hope suddenly became extremely strong, but he didn't expect that it was still broken like a soap bubble!

Wu Meng was sad for a long time, and said slowly: "Wu Bao, how have you been doing in the past few years?" ”

"Master, I have thought of death countless times, but I am afraid and reluctant. So I lived reluctantly, endured the humiliation and torture of the Huns every day, and catered to the Huns every day...... I—I don't live like a human being, not even an animal......"

Wu Meng grabbed his shoulder and said, "Wu Bao, the opportunity for revenge has arrived!" The emperor sent General Dou to attack the Xiongnu in the north, and I am also a Han soldier, and now, our army is behind! We're going to kill it soon! Tell me, how many Huns are there? ”

"Really?" Wu Bao's voice trembled, he wanted to return to the Han Dynasty countless times, but everything was out of reach. "Master, this is the residence of the Xiongnu prince, there are a thousand people, you see, in the largest camp, there is a Xiongnu prince."

"What about the Huns? Where is it? ”

"I don't know."

Wu Meng pondered for a while and said: "Wu Bao, tonight, you set fire to the camp tent, we saw the fire, so we attacked and killed, if you do this, you may be discovered by the Huns, and be killed, do you dare?" ”

"Dare! Master. Wu Bao clenched his fists, waved vigorously in the air, and shed tears excitedly, after years of torture, there was finally a day of reckoning, a day of getting rid of, and a bright day. On this day, he never dared to imagine, but now, he is full of power!

The night is extremely peaceful.

The stars that are clearly extinguished hang in the sky, like sapphires adorned on a white jade plate. The Huns' tent, the torches sneered and burned, flickering bright and dark, reflecting on the Huns' sabers, bursting with a dazzling light.

Wu Bao curled up on the bed, squinting his eyes and listening. It was quiet, no different from usual. He knew that after a while, all but a few Huns standing guard around would stay in the warm tents and fall asleep.

Wu Bao suddenly became extremely excited, he suddenly pulled through the tent, reached into the candle's hyacinth, and snorted, the tent was lit, the light of the fire was weak, dim, and wrapped in a layer of fluffy blue. Wu Bao cracked his mouth and smiled, and when the fire was a little bigger, he stuffed the tent under the bed, and then ran out with a puff of smoke.

He ran to the fire, drew a torch, lit another tent, and after lighting four in a row, the fire finally grew brighter, crackling, and burning, like a fiery dragon, illuminating half of the sky.

The Huns were in disarray. Some rolled out of the tent wailing, still carrying flames, while others looked at the tent engulfed in flames, hissing and calling the names of their loved ones, and weeping bitterly. Wu Bao's heart welled up with happiness, he remembered the scene of the Huns killing the Wu family that night, and he remembered what a miserable life he had lived for more than a year.

"I'm going to burn that femme fatale!" Wu Bao muttered, he remembered the evil Hun Que clan and the prince. So, with a torch, he desperately walked towards the golden-domed tent that he usually did not dare to look up to.

When Wu Bao stuffed the torch into the tent of the Golden Dome, he heard the sound of horses' hooves and the shouts of killing outside, "The master is here." Wu Bao thought and smiled. However, a Hun rushed over, saw Wu Bao set fire, without saying a word, a knife was inserted into Wu Bao's stomach, blood gushed out, Wu Bao turned around, he saw the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty, like gods, rushed in extremely fiercely, the first one was Wu Meng!
