Chapter Ninety-Nine: Harassment
Cao Xing's eyes stared at the huge map in front of him, and he kept circles on it with a brush, this is a map from Bingzhou to Luoyang, calculated the distance, and Bingzhou is not very far from Luoyang, in Luoyang to the north is to reach Hanoi, Hanoi crossed the Yellow River and arrived in Bingzhou.
Calculating the time, if it is even from Luoyang at this moment, there will be more than half a month at most, and it will be able to reach Cao Xing's hands.
Cao Xuan couldn't help but rub his palm, who doesn't want to be promoted and rich, so he also looks forward to it, and even comes earlier, but Cao Xing's mind is gone, he knows that if he wants to get this holy decree, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
However, just as Cao Xuan was about to think about the next step, a sudden knock sound sounded, which seemed to be the sound of hitting the bell, and the bell rang far away and loudly.
However, in this era, Buddhism was far from being as prosperous as in later generations, at least in Bingzhou, Cao Xing had not met any Buddhists, and it was impossible for Buddhism to exist in Bianyun County.
However, when Cao Xuan heard this bell, he was nervous, without saying a word, he dropped the things in his hand, picked up his weapon, and hurriedly ran out of the county office, at this moment the city of Bianyun County became a little chaotic, but fortunately, Zhou Cang immediately came with soldiers and horses to maintain order, so that everyone should not panic, and Chen Hu Zhongqi had already arrived at the city, and then Cao Xing and Fengyun also caught up.
"What's going on!" Cao Xuan asked.
Zhong Qi stepped forward and reported to Cao Xing: "Lord, the sentry in front has come to report that a large number of troops have invaded, and it seems that this time it is still the Qiang people who are invading!" ”
"What!" Cao Xing glanced at Zhong Qi when he heard this, and Zhong Qi nodded firmly at Cao Xing, there was a slight difference between the clothing of the Qiang and Xianbei people, but they could still be recognized clearly.
Although there were also Qiang invasions of the Central Plains during the Three Kingdoms period, if Cao Xing is not mistaken, the Qiang people seem to have often plundered the Xiliang generation, and now how could they come to Bingzhou again for no reason, which is completely unreasonable.
Since the last Xianbei invasion, Cao Xuan has set up a small post station around Bianyun County, and there are more than ten assistants in each post station, and the task of the more than ten people is to explore the surrounding intelligence, and once a group is found, he will come back and report immediately, so that Cao Xuan can prepare early.
And that's exactly what is happening today. Zhong Qi was patrolling above the city tower, but the sentry in front of him came to report the attack of the Qiang people, so Zhong Qi immediately ordered someone to ring the big bell, and the big bell was also set up by Cao Xing, in order to let him know about the battle situation as soon as possible.
Looking around, you can see that in the north of Bianyun County, there is already smoke and dust, wolf smoke everywhere, obviously a large number of cavalry invasion, seeing here Cao Xing touched his nose helplessly, what is the situation, now it has only been more than half a year, first Xianbei invasion, and then the Yellow Turban attack, and now the Qiang people are running to do things again, it is really a lot of disasters, no wonder there are few people in the state.
But now that everyone else is about to hit the door, Cao Xing has no choice, so he can only fight, he looked around, three wells have been erected, he waved his hand to Zhong Qi and Chen Hu and others, signaling them to prepare for battle, and the two of them also responded to the order and went to prepare.
Cao Xing held the command flag in his hand, staring at this group of Qiang troops motionlessly, as long as they entered the range, Cao Xing would not hesitate to wave the order flag in his hand, just staring, he felt a little wrong.
This Qiang army seems to have more than 10,000 people, but the general who charged at the front, Cao Xing had a sense of déjà vu, he took a closer look, and found that the general's left eye seemed to be wearing an eye patch, and looking at the silhouette of the body, Cao Xuan felt more and more familiar, he was stunned for a few seconds, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
Isn't this person Hadoli who was repelled by Cao Xuan before? This idea popped into Cao Xing's mind.
But it's not right to think about it, isn't Hadoli a Xianbei person? How can it be wrapped up with the Qiang people now, this is completely unreasonable.
However, during this period of Cao Xing's stunned moment, the Qiang people had already rushed to the distance of three hundred steps away from Bianyun County, and at this moment, the front row of Qiang troops saw that they took off a spear on their backs, and then suddenly shouted violently and threw the spear towards the city.
Compared to ordinary spears, they are very short in length, about half of the length, but their spearhead is specially made, and it is more suitable for flying in the air, in other words, it is like a large insight, not only the distance it flies, but also the lethality is extremely powerful.
"Ahhh A scream sounded in Cao Xing's ears, and countless soldiers were hit by this spear, only to see this spear pierce the armor on their bodies and enter their flesh and skin, and the soldiers who were stabbed all fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and even a spear passed through Cao Xing's ear, listening to his sharp sound of breaking the air, Cao Xing felt that if this spear was an inch closer to him, his whole head would bloom.
But at this moment, Cao Xuan finally reacted, looked at the soldiers who fell to the ground, and then shouted: "Shoot me, shoot hard!" ”
Finally got Cao Xing's order, the soldiers who had completed the preparations, no longer hesitated, Qi Qi let go of the bow and arrows in his hand Countless arrows, densely flew towards the Qiang troops, and now Cao Xing's troops can have a full five thousand people, each of whom is equipped with excellent bows and arrows, providing them with excellent long-range shooting.
Although the Qiang people's javelin throwing skill seems to be very strong, but then again, the skill of javelin making, which seems to be unique to each of their nomads, may only carry five or six javelins, after all, the weight of javelins is extremely heavy, and it is impossible to carry them in large quantities. There is a buffer period for every shot, and the soldiers under Cao Xing keep shooting, one person shoots after one, and one person behind follows one after another, so ten thousand arrows are fired at once, never stopping.
So after only more than ten breaths of time, the victory or defeat on the battlefield was somewhat obvious, under the attack of ten thousand arrows, the Qiang troops gradually stopped the horse's behavior, and even many people turned their horses' heads and wanted to run back, after all, the dense arrows in front of them made them feel a lot of pressure, and countless Qiang people had died under this kind of random arrows.
However, Hadoli, who was always charging ahead, didn't seem to be ready to give up like this, he still charged ahead, and shouted to the Qiang people: "Charge me, don't retreat, take Bianyun County, everything in it is yours!" ”
This time Cao Xing really saw it clearly, it was Hadoli's guy, but, when Hadoli's words, just finished speaking, Cao Xing turned an arrow and shot at Hadoli's head again, fortunately, this time Hadoli reacted quickly and hit the arrow to the ground in time, but Cao Xing's second arrow and third arrow came in an instant, and Hadoli felt a little overwhelmed.
Until the afternoon, Cao Xing, Chen Hu, Zhongqi and a group of people finally returned to the county government out of breath, and after a short time, Che Wu hurriedly entered, he glanced at everyone, and then bowed his hand to Cao Xing.
"Back to the lord, I have gone to investigate Hadoli according to your request, those Xianbei tribes in the north said that since Hadoli last attacked Bianyun County and was defeated by you, it seems that he has been greatly oppressed and hit, and many nobles within them have attacked Hadoli there, saying that Hadoli is incompetent and unworthy of being the leader of their tribe, and there are even many people who have asked for it to be expelled from the tribe!"
"I heard others say that Hadoli launched a military coup in a fit of anger, killed his two younger brothers and his mother, and even wanted to seize the throne of his father, but was finally defeated by his father, after being defeated, Hadoli rushed eastward, and finally seemed to arrive at the Qiang tribe, I don't know how he negotiated with the Qiang tribe, anyway, the Qiang tribe accepted him and gave him a certain number of soldiers and horses, so there is this scene today!"
Listening to Che Wu's report, everyone present finally understood what was going on.
This is completely a revenge, anyway, Cao Xing relived a lifetime, successfully prevented Hadoli's invasion, and kept the remote county, and this also made Hadoli very distressed, and after going back, he killed his relatives with his own hands and turned his face against his father, which may really be extremely stressful for Hadoli, and he blamed all this on Cao Xing.
So when he had another long army in his hands, he came to Bianyun County again with his soldiers and horses, wanting to be ashamed.
"Hey, this Hadoli is really good for the scar and forgot the pain, the magic is one foot high and one foot high, he thinks that he has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is very powerful to draw a javelin? It's not like we've been crushed! Bong Yun said with a smile there.
And Chen Hu Zhongqi also showed a smile on his face: "That is, this time is different from the past, he Hadoli is standing still, but our Bianyun County is steadily improving under the leadership of the eldest brother, and now not only the people have enough food and clothing, but even our city defense level has been much higher than before, today's battle situation is that we have killed more than 30 brothers and injured more than 70 brothers, but we have killed more than 2,000 people of the Qiang tribe, and countless people have been injured!" ”
"Hahaha, happy, we'll kill as many as he comes this time!" Zhong Qi also said with a smile.
Although what his three subordinates said was very reasonable, Cao Xing felt that it was better to be careful, so he asked Fengyun to count the specific casualties of the patients, and then submit them to them, and issue the pensions for the casualties of those soldiers on time.
