Chapter 41: Devastating Plunder

It takes absolute patience to get on the steppe, not only because the grassland is so vast, but also because the speed of the Lehrer car can't keep up with the speed of people's hearts.

From a piece of greenery to another piece of green, as far as the eye can see, there are only two colors of blue and green in the connection between heaven and earth.

After spending a long time on the grassland, the dog no longer had the torment of the first arrival, but began to enjoy such a magnificent scene.

The ox dragged the Lele cart slowly, the war horse followed slowly behind, the only dairy sheep was held in Lan Ying's arms, Rancho sang an unknown song to coax the little dog to sleep, this kind of life dog is quite satisfied.

Of course, it would be nice if it could be as rich as home.

It is not easy to find a nomadic tribe, most of them live on water and grass, and the cattle and sheep have to leave after eating all the grass, so only shepherds like Lan Ying and Rancho can judge the approximate location of the tribe according to the grass conditions.

The Hatong tribe is not a big or small tribe, and I heard Lan Ying say that the entire tribe has only about 500 people, but the reason why this tribe dares to shepherd sheep near the border of the Han Dynasty is because of the more than 100 fierce Hun warriors in the Hatong tribe.

"The women of the Hatong tribe are very powerful, and they are also good samurai, they have also learned to ride and shoot since they were young, and if the men go to the battlefield, the women will ride on horses to hunt and shepherd sheep, so the Hatong tribe is a very wealthy tribe.

The patriarch of the Hartong tribe can also sit in the tent at the banquet of Shan Yu, and if we want to leave safely, we must not anger the people of the Hartong tribe. Both men and women. ”

Lan Ying jumped down from Lele's car, carefully observed the grass on the ground, and said solemnly to the dog.

"So, the Hartong Department is nearby?"

"Well, the grass here has only been eaten by cattle and sheep, and five days ago, Hartong should have grazed here.

You see, that hillside must be the camp where they were stationed. ”

The dog nodded, and drove the ox cart down the hill.

The contract department may be the last supply place for their family, and after leaving the Harbin Department, the family will really enter no man's land.

After turning the hillside, the dog saw a large messy camp, but there was not a single person, not a single cow or sheep, not even the shepherd dogs that were common in the shepherd's camp.

The dog stopped, and his heart twitched together at once, for he smelled the familiar smell of corpses......

The dog slowly walked up the hill with a knife, and he was horrified by the scene in front of him.

Huge vultures littered the hillside, interspersed with three or five gray wolves, two creatures devouring corpses everywhere.

A swarthy and swollen arm with half of its flesh missing from the sun was at the dog's feet......

The blood-red eyes of the blue wolf stared at the intruding dogs, and the vultures also flapped their wings and let out a sharp chirp.

The dog slowly withdrew from the beast's cafeteria, sweat dripping down.

Perhaps because there was enough food here, the wolf did not chase after him, and the dog fled as fast as he could, leading the head of the bull and quickly fleeing into the distance.

Lele drove wildly on the grassland, and Lan Ying and Rancho held the two shepherd dogs to prevent them from barking.

It was not until the ox pulling the cart was out of breath that the dog stopped urging him.

The blue sky overhead, the green grass under the feet made people's scalps tingle, and the mood turned around, making the dog family, who had just been relaxed and happy, instantly frightened.

The Hartung must have died out......

In the evening, the dog found a very hidden col, settled the whole family, and came to the col with a knife.

The two sheep were grazing grass there, and they could see that this was not a wild sheep, and even if the dog approached, the two sheep lowered their heads and gnawed on the grass, without raising their heads.

He was easily tied with a rope by the dog, and followed the footsteps of the dog back to the camp.

"Where did the sheep come from?"

Rancho asked.

"What the mountain pass saw was like a shepherd's lost sheep."

Rancho shook his head and said, "Two sheep of this size, the wooden people will not lose them." ”

Only then did the dog say to Rancho: "All the people in the Hatong Department are dead. ”

Rancho was silent, just hugged his son in his arms.

"Was it the horse thief who killed him?" Lan Ying asked in a low voice.

The dog shook his head and said, "No, the horse thief is not capable of dealing with such a large tribe, it can only be the army!" ”

"The army of the Han Chinese?"

The dog thought for a moment and said: "It should be, if other tribes slaughtered the Hartong tribe, the purpose could only be these livestock, and now, since we can all pick up sheep, the people who slaughtered the Hartong tribe can only be the army." ”

Lan Ying involuntarily leaned into the dog's arms and said worriedly, "Will they kill us too?" ”

"If I had a chance to speak, we would be fine, and if we rushed close to the army, we would be killed immediately."

"In that case, do we still have to go to the army?"

The dog shook his head and said: "It's not proper, the military law of the Han army is strict, and anyone who approaches the military village for no reason will be killed!"

"Shan Yu's army is not like this, as long as there are herdsmen willing to join, it will be mixed in, and Shan Yu will like it very much."

This is the reason why Shan Yu's army can't beat the Han army now, and over the years, the Han army is very different from the previous Han army.

In the past, most of the Han army were farmers, farming in peacetime and fighting in wartime, but now the Han army is no longer responsible for farming, but specializes in learning combat skills. ”

"I'm a little scared to go to the Great Han Kingdom, you have too many rules, if it's really what you say......

The dog smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hug Rancho and said, "There are many rules, and there are many government regulations, but as long as we return home, it will be completely different." ”

Rancho snorted out laughing, patted the dog's chest and said, "Say that your family is the same as Kunlun Divine Palace." ”

The dog smiled, "For me, that is my shrine." ”

When people are afraid, they always want to have more comfort, men and women alike, and after a passion, the three of them lie in a small tent and hug each other to sleep peacefully.

That night, the wolf howled all night near another hill.

At dawn, the sun was shining and it was an excellent day.

The dog is repairing the axle of the Lehrer car early in the morning, in fact, there is no better way, the so-called repair is just to oil the axle.

The axles made of charred wood are already terrible, there is no way for dogs, there are children, and riding in a car is the best way for women and children to travel.

After much hesitation, the dog was ready to go to the camp of the Hartong tribe again, and it would be best if he could find a better Lele.

Yesterday it could be seen that the dead bodies there were almost eaten by the wolf vultures, and the wolf howled all night, indicating that they might be leaving this place, and the howl was just the last intimidation.

The dog comforted himself like this, left a long knife for Lan Ying and Rancho and cautiously went to the death camp.

Things weren't as good or bad as he expected, and the wolf was fed and left, leaving only the pesky vultures pecking at the last scraps of flesh on the bones.

Despite the noisy cries of the vultures, the dogs roamed around the camp in search of what they could use.

When he saw an iron pot still hanging from the shelf, the dog's pupils began to shrink.

The only people in the world who look down on the iron pot as an important production tool are the Han people, and only they will not lack the iron pot, and only they will not abandon this bulky iron pot on the grassland.

He seemed to think of something, so the dog set his eyes on the white bones, and soon he saw some of the remaining hairs on the white bones, most of which were white, and most of them were man's skeletons.

Basically, you can't see the corpse of a woman, nor can you see the corpse of a child......

The Han army did not leave an inch of grass everywhere, this is the iron law of the Huns in the army, if women, young children are taken away, then, there is only one possibility, that is, someone is captive the population.

After getting this information, the dog's steps became much lighter, if the people who destroyed the Hatong tribe were the slave hunters of the Han Dynasty, then it would be much easier for them to go home by themselves, because all the slave trade in the Han Kingdom was inextricably linked with their own masters.

It's a pity that the dog walked all over the camp and didn't find a Lele car, which is actually an inevitable result, the Lele car is the most important means of transportation on the grassland, if the slave hunting group of the Han Kingdom caught the slave, it will naturally be transported away by the Lele car.

After finding a few barely usable blankets, the dog hurried into the col, leaving Lan Ying and Rancho in the wilderness, and he was really not at ease.
