Chapter 119: Zilongzi Long, Zilong, Wushuang—6

A tattered Xianbei cavalry mixed in with this group of refugees who went to the city to avoid trouble, and quietly approached the seat of Hanyang County and even Liangzhou.

Although their clothing has obvious nomadic tribal characteristics, such as the fur on their bodies and the bows and knives they carry, however, on the border of Liangzhou, after all, not only the Han people who live, but also many Qiang people are also the people under the rule of Liang Hu.

For the Xianbei people, how difficult it is to disguise themselves as the Qiang tribe guest gate, they took advantage of this security loophole and successfully approached the city gate of Ji County.

What happened next obviously won't be more than too many people expected. The Xianbei cavalry, who suddenly drew their weapons and instigated their horses, frantically slashed at the people, and the reason they did so was only to clear the obstacles to their advance.

Because they were so close to the city gate, even if there was some delay in clearing the obstacles, the soldiers guarding the main gate still failed to close the gate in time.

The Xianbei people stormed the city gate without incident, and then spread panic into the enclosed space.

They roared, snatched, and killed. It seemed that the pattern of war had entered the frequency familiar to their Xianbei people, and yet the development of events took them by surprise.

As early as when the shouts of killing came from the city gate, Zhao Yun realized that the danger was inevitable, after all, the campus of the flower planter was next to the city gate. If the Xianbei people storm the city gates, then the children of the flower planters will be the first to be the target of their attacks.

Zhao Yun brought the children back to the school in a hurry, not to make them the target of new attacks.

"Where's your armory, kids?"

The simple-natured children didn't know why their eldest brother asked the armory, according to the rules in the school, that place could not be revealed to outsiders, but this eldest brother was one of Principal Su's closest generals, how could he be considered an outsider?

So the group of children didn't say a word, and led Zhao Yun to the school armory to the door, where the equipment used by the children for training was placed.

Don't look at their age, but the weapons inside are all high-quality products produced by Weishui Company. Both in terms of sturdiness and sharpness, they surpassed the average level of Liangzhou weapons manufacturing.

Although Zhao Yun's injuries were still not healed, he just kicked it up and kicked the door of the armory in half, and then the children swarmed in at his signal and began to look for their usual equipment.

It didn't take long for a young army conceived in Suning's blueprint to appear in front of Zhao Yun.

At this time, the children's teachers also rushed over one after another, and some of them tried to stop Zhao Yun, because the children were too young, and the war should let the children go away.

However, the truth is that wars often require the participation of the entire population. Those who should go away often cannot escape the curse of war, and similar words are nothing more than a kind of flood of Western humanist feelings, although it has caused a lot of resonance in Chinese civilization, but it is a kind of idealism that ignores reality.

They fear the brutality of war and feel the memory of the women and children who have suffered in it. However, the Chinese nation has experienced the suffering they have endured in the 5,000 years of war, which is far beyond the comprehension of Westerners, and they do not want women and children to be affected by the war. But one day, when the enemy took up their swords and rushed at them, they would not shout that I am a woman and that I am a child.

Taking up arms and resisting is the final choice left to them by the 5,000-year history of this nation. The long history tells the descendants of the ancient sages that there is no better choice when facing the enemy.

So Zhao Yun kicked over several teachers who came to stop him, including Kun Tiliang, who was quite military literate in the eyes of Xu Suning.

Zhao Yun didn't care who he kicked over, he only cared about arranging defensive tasks for the children. Bows and arrows are the most powerful weapons for children who lack physical strength, and at the same time, the familiarity with the internal terrain of the flower planter is also the best support for the children to fight wits and courage with the enemy, so Zhao Yun did not allow them to rush out of the campus to fight the enemy, but held their positions and waited for rescue.

As they expected, the Xianbei people plundered and quickly stretched out to this wide courtyard. Their scarce urban experience taught them that such large courtyards often harbored great wealth, and were worthy of their painstaking plunder.

However, as soon as a group of more than 100 Xianbei cavalry stepped into this courtyard, they were fired by feathered arrows from all directions, and in an instant, they paid for more than a dozen lives.

With their rich experience in raiding, the Xianbei people immediately deduced a conclusion that was not much different from the facts. They believed that such a large courtyard must have been inhabited by a wealthy family, and such a family often had a certain number of armed families. These people may also cause some damage to the fierce Xianbei warriors, after all, they are all men who grew up on the grasslands of Liangzhou, and they are not as easy to deal with as those Han people in the Central Plains.

So they bothered their spirits and took out their bows and arrows and shot them at each other. They didn't find out where each other was hiding, but they could roughly deduce where they were hiding from the direction from which Edgeworth was flying. Their counterattack was not originally expected to destroy the enemy, but just wanted to suppress the opponent's firepower.

This tactical goal was quickly achieved. After they started shooting, their opponent's feathered arrows were quickly suppressed by them, giving them enough time to slowly and stealthily approach each other before claiming victory through melee combat.

Zhao Yun, who was hiding in the shadows, could see their combat routine at a glance, which was originally a common tactic of the Han army. With the advantage of bow and crossbow manufacturing, the enemy slowly loses the reasonable structure of the formation, and then through close combat, the opponent's loose formation is broken with a well-organized array.

However, this routine has now been learned first, after all, this is not an esoteric concept in itself.

In addition, the children's hiding level is not high, if they really shoot at the Xianbei people, they will inevitably be exposed to the enemy, in that case, the children will inevitably pay casualties, which is not what he wants to see.

As for the proximity of this group of Xianbei people, sooner or later it will threaten the safety of the children, Zhao Yun has already been prepared, although the children are more disadvantaged in melee combat, but they are familiar with the terrain here after all, you must know that this campus in Suning has a lot of design, all of which have the characteristics of the modern West, for the Xianbei people who are used to robbing buildings in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there are always some places that make them feel uncomfortable.

This three-story building made of cement and red brick is one of the things that makes them feel awkward. Most of the Han Chinese houses I have seen in the past are made of wooden buildings. In such a place, after the looting, a few torches can be thrown to extinguish the evidence of one's own evil, but this is obviously not possible in such a place. And this kind of red thing always has a sense of uneasiness with them, as if there is some red devil lurking in it.

In fact, they still have a good grasp of killing intent, even if they don't see the people hidden inside, they instinctively feel that the god of death is approaching them.

Ma Chao was hiding in that building, pumping a brick outward. It was a loose brick that they stumbled upon when they were playing hide and seek. After all, the craftsmen are not familiar with this kind of construction process, and there are actually many bricks that are loose in the walls like this, in fact, there are many pieces in the school. When these bear children are extremely bored, they will also show off who has found more loose bricks.

Nowadays, such slabs and bricks have become a good observation port. After he slowly removed one of the pieces, the situation outside was transmitted to his vision through the wall.

"There's one there, there's another next to here." Ma Chao whispered to his friends, and then gave a relatively reasonable battle plan, "You guys prepare the bow and crossbow, I'll sneak out and go around to the back of the holly tree." When I'm in place, you shoot the one who is near, and then draw the one in the distance, and when she examines the body, I jump out from behind the holly tree and end his life. ”

The friends discussed it and felt that this plan was feasible, so they began to prepare.

The bows and arrows used by the kids are not the usual adult versions, and their power is very limited, so they can only fire at nearby targets. Otherwise, there is no need to welcome the one in the distance to be able to clean it up.

It's just that after completing the first shot, there will inevitably be a risk of exposure here, so the means to solve the second person is best to change to another one, so there is an ambush designed by Ma Chao.

Such a plan, even Suning may not be able to think clearly in a short time. As for the Xianbei people opposite, it is even more lacking in the sense of prevention.

So after a miserable scream, the Xianbei man who was far away really came to see what happened as Ma Chao and others expected, when the corpse of the robe from the same tribe was in front of him, he roared in surprise, but before she could express other meanings, she heard the voice of Xi Xi Suo behind her, followed by an immature child's voice, let out an angry shout, and then there was the afterimage of the flashing of the sword, and then there was no more......

Ma Chao has at least half of the Qiang tribe's blood, and he is also very familiar with some customs on the Liangzhou grassland.

Therefore, Ma Chao, a five- or six-year-old child, once again waved the scimitar in his hand, and it was not until he cut off the heads of the two enemies that he got up and carried two heads that were seriously disproportionate to his size and returned to the Red Mansion where they were hiding.

What he didn't notice, however, was that there were two lines of blood behind him. And the direction of these two lines of blood marks exactly pointed out where they were hiding.

After returning to the Red Mansion, Ma Chao threw the two heads to the ground and said excitedly to his friends: "With these two round balls, those adults have to believe in our military exploits, think about it, brothers, what kind of reward will we get?" ”

A group of friends discussed his imagination and gossip. It's as if a happy little life is waiting in front of their eyes.

However, at this moment, several rapid roars were heard from outside the building, followed by more rapid and continuous footsteps.

Ma Chao waved his hand to stop his brothers' discussion, and then pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, and then his brow furrowed.

"It sounds like there are a lot of Xianbei people out there, and we may be in trouble."

The next facts proved that Ma Chao was indeed a natural general, and his ability to predict military dangers may be hidden in his DNA.

However, this innate ability does not always bring her good fortune to turn evil into good fortune.

At least this time the situation looks very dangerous.

The more than 20 recruits gathered outside, although they had already turned off their horses, they were all brave men in the tribe, otherwise they would not have been selected to participate in this surprise attack on Hanyang County.

Their combat effectiveness is far from being that of Kobe Bryant, a little kid such as Ma Chao, and they also have quite a lot of battlefield experience. The leading cavalryman only glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and judged from the cut in the blade that it was not an adult.

"This wound is not done in one go, it seems that there are a few bold imps in it. Brothers, don't take it lightly, if you throw your life in the hands of the little ghost, then you are really sorry for the gift of Immortal Heaven, and you will definitely lose the dead if you say it. ”

"Got it, Boss."

The twenty or so people who followed him, after agreeing in unison, let go to look for clues, and soon one of them noticed the two blood stains left by Ma Chao on the ground. But his rich battlefield experience told him not to shout when he discovered the enemy's whereabouts, otherwise there would be what the Han people called a scare snake, and once the first person escaped, he might pose a threat to himself.

So he quietly walked to the boss's side, and told him what he had found in a low whisper, and then the boss summoned all his subordinates and said in a deliberately loud voice: "It seems that these little ghosts are very cunning, and they have not left us any clues. We may continue to suffer casualties in this unfamiliar terrain, so I don't think it's good to stay here for long, and we need to find a new place as soon as possible. ”

Immediately heard this dialogue that was estimated to be told to him, he was overjoyed at that time, it seemed that his tactical level had made Xiuhai's ancestors helpless.

However, at this time, the humble boss on the opposite side suddenly pointed to the red mansion where they were hiding and said, "Why don't we go there and hide." ”
