8. Asking for help
The sky rose in the east, the clear light poured out from the clouds, the dew on the grass reflected the crystal light, and the horses' hooves trampled past, climbed the grassy slope, and galloped towards the faint outside of the city.
"Hahaha, drive! Drive! ”
Under the vast grassland, the shadows of two white horses' hooves flew down, and the first young soldier was even more comfortable, and he couldn't help but roar, but it was not Gao Zhi, who was it?
Forcefully clamp the horse's belly and whip the horse, in the sound of the horseshoe tower, the dust is flying, but he only feels the strong wind blowing on his face, the scenery on both sides is swept back quickly, his heart is hearty, and the beauty is indescribable!
The speed of the war horse is very fast, but it does not affect him, Gao Zhi in the previous life could not ride a horse, but the white horse in this life can be from Gao Zhi, so the body instinctively adapts to that kind of floating.
Memory, sometimes if there is no long-term recall, or a thing has not happened again for a long time, it will be forgotten slowly, but the human brain, like the hard disk of a computer, is a memory bank with a long storage period.
Many times, there is such a guiding point that can be recalled.
I have to say that in many cases, a good teacher is also very important.
No, from after lunch to this moment, just an hour, after Zhao Yun's words and deeds, Gao Zhi has been able to skillfully control the galloping war horse, and is completely infatuated with this galloping feeling.
It's a thrilling feeling, like a person who has been thirsty in the desert for days and suddenly sees a lake, and his first instinct is to pounce on it and drink it - even if it means drowning.
That is, Zhao Yun is a good person and has patience, so he can stand Gao Zhi's "fanaticism", and follow and protect him along the way, so that he finally did not fall off the horse in embarrassment.
On the prairie, two white horses swept like a frightening wave, galloping alternately one after the other.
"Wait!" Zhao Yunben smiled and was about to respond to Gao Zhi's words, but an inadvertent glance made his face change suddenly, turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly with both straddles, and rushed to Gao Zhi in front of him.
Soon, Zhao Yun caught up with Gao Zhi, reached out of his ape arm, grabbed Gao Zhi's reins, and stopped his galloping horse.
"What's wrong?" Gao Zhi looked dazed, and was about to ask, but found that Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up at the north, his face full of solemnity.
Following his line of sight, he saw that the sky in the distance suddenly rose with thick smoke and dust, rolling all over the sky.
From far to near, a long black line emerged, the sound of hooves vibrating, people roaring horses, the momentum was violent, and the cavalry, the cavalry of the brigade, could also feel the majesty of the opposite side.
Like the rolling waves, with a strong killing atmosphere, the earth-shaking impact makes people can't help but be surprised.
"It's a big problem... Let's hurry back to camp! Zhao Yun grabbed Gao Zhi with one hand and stepped off the reins of the white horse, and at the same time turned the direction and withdrew in the direction of Daying.
......
See the subtleties and know the excellence, and listen to the thunder in the silent places.
Zhao Yun is right, trouble is coming, and it's big!
Although, in today's Han Dynasty, natural and man-made disasters are one after another, but on the grassland, the really terrible ones are those Hu Qi, who took advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty to pounce on and bite hard.
Jixian County, which is northeast of the military camp, suffered the most direct blow at this time--- Wuhuan interception!
The north is vast and sparsely populated, Qin Shi Huang exterminated Yan, and placed Yuyang, Shanggu, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other counties in Yandi, with jurisdiction over counties, eleven countries, and ninety counties, but the population is only about 2560,000.
Since the annexation of the Southern Xiongnu, the trade routes from the south to the north have become much more prosperous.
Similarly, it is also one of the front lines of the Han people's resistance or expedition against the northern nomads, who do not cultivate, so they harvest every autumn
and began to plunder.
At the end of November,
In the autumn harvest season, under the high sun, from the 60-year-old man to the 10-year-old boy, nearly 20,000 men and women carried bamboo baskets and sickles, and went out of Jixian County to harvest grain and grass under the supervision of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers.
This year's Youzhou rainfall is quite abundant, a light rain every seven or eight days, a heavy rain in half a month, so that the rice growth of 50 miles around Jixian County is gratifying, and the mountains are yellow and clear, as if sprinkled with gold everywhere.
If it weren't for the fact that the people fled south in fear of the war and neglected to take care of the rice, I am afraid that there would have been a bumper harvest once in ten years.
and reap the people
One by one, they were sweaty, or picked or pushed into Jixian County, which made Jixian County full of rice, and many ears of grain fell on the streets and alleys, and many people in the city took to the streets to pick up rice.
It's just that with the passage of time, the rice near Jixian County has been slowly harvested. Only bare fields remained, and when the rice was harvested, it was necessary to go farther and farther, ten, twenty, thirty miles...... It keeps extending into the distance, and it is countless times more difficult to return to Jixian County.
At noon that day, more than 10,000 people, under the supervision of hundreds of soldiers, were harvesting rice in a depression, when suddenly they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near.
When I looked up, I saw a herald, galloping close with a panicked face, and at the same time his mouth was constantly shouting.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, Xianbei detain the frontier, Wuhuan rebellion!"
Xianbei detains the frontier, Wuhuan rebels!
Hearing these two words, the people immediately became confused. The sound of calling for children and daughters resounded in the mountains, and men, women, and children threw away the sickles in their hands, the baskets on their shoulders, and the crops that had just been harvested. A swarm retreated in the direction of Jixian.
How can a two-legged man be as fast as a four-legged cavalryman?
After a stick of incense.
The sound of horses' hooves shook the ground, and the dust in the distance obscured the sky, turning the sky yellow.
The cavalry came quickly and quickly, and with their skillful horsemanship, they swept like a furious gallop, trampling all the rice under the horse's hooves wherever they went.
At this time, the people had just fled back to Jixian for four or five miles.
Soon, they were caught up by the swept Wuhuan cavalry, and they let out all kinds of smug roars or whistles, and for a while people shouted and neighed, shaking the sky.
A black horse in the crotch, a big knife hanging from the saddle, bending the bow and arrows while galloping on the horse, every time the bowstring sounds, a person will fall to the ground with an arrow, "Kill me, the woman and the young man will stay, and the old man and the young man will all be killed!" ”
With an order, more than 1,000 Wuhuan cavalry showed their scimitars, chasing the people all over the mountains, and wherever the horse's hooves went, the scimitars were chopped down, and the heads flew in the air and were caught by the Wuhuan knights and hung on the saddle.
The blood of the corpse that lost its head splattered out of the cavity, which only provoked the Wuhuan people to be more savage, and more wanton to shout and slaughter.
Hundreds of soldiers wanted to form a queue to meet the battle, but in the face of the impact of the elite cavalry, these county soldiers only held on a few breaths more than the unarmed people.
All of a sudden, the bloody wind and rain, screams and wails continued to rise.
Compared with the old man and the young man who were brutally killed, the fate of the women and young men was much better, and they were chased by the Wuhuan cavalry and driven north, "Those who don't want to die follow us to the north, otherwise the head will fall to the ground!" ”
And some of the young women who were a little more beautiful were much more unlucky, and the Wuhuan knight, who had been holding back for too long, was stimulated, and the hormones in his body were full of hormones, and the beastly desire was great, so he directly dismounted and dragged these women into the rice field.
Regardless of the howling opposition, he tore his clothes to shreds, and he was full of animal desires.
For a while, the unclothed and disheveled woman in the paddy field cried and shouted and fled, and was chased and held down by the screaming Wuhuan people behind.
The tragedy of the world was staged openly on the grassland.
