Chapter 62: The Down-and-Out Strange Cavalry
After the Kwantung Coalition gathered to attack Dong Zhuo After Emperor Liu Xie was forced to move west to Chang'an and Dingdu, this crusade that shook the whole world finally entered Luoyang, and there was no intention of besieging Chang'an, and the alliance was quietly disintegrating.
About these external news, the traders of the grassland will naturally bring it, or this is also a kind of buying and selling. At this moment, in the noisy White Wolf Plain, a Confucian in a blue robe stood under a tree on the top of the hill, looking at the figures walking through the forest below, or breastfeeding the child, or a child holding a piece of meat and bones sitting on the ground and gnawing, without strife, just like the feeling of paradise......
"Chief, they should be on their way......"
Murmuring opening, on the grassland behind him, in the distance of sight, a figure on horseback came quickly, a yellow cloth stirred and flew in the air, and soon, rushed into the hills.
Pedal Pedal β
Footsteps climbed up quickly on the path, and a horse thief whispered: "Three leaders, I just went out to bring news that there are cavalry fighting in the northwest of us, and now it is estimated that we are not far from Daijun." β
"The Huns and the Han soldiers of Daijun?"
The man shook his head: "I heard the brothers who came back say that one is a Huns, and the other is not like it, and the armor is not the same as my Han Dynasty......"
Fingers tapped on the side of his legs, Dongfang Sheng's beautiful face frowned and thought for a while, and looked at him, "It seems that they came from farther away, how many Huns are there?" β
"Not much, there were originally five or six hundred, but then two or three hundred people left!"
"Hmm... You can go and see each other before making a decision. Dongfang Sheng raised his finger: "Gather the brothers, I'll go with everyone." β
The horse thief hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't help it, I can't help it, the battlefield has no eyes for knives and guns, if it hurts you, the big leader will come back and pick up the small skin." β
The wind swept through the corners of the robe, and the footsteps were already walking down the mountain, and the scholar said as he walked: "If you really want to fight, you just go up, and watch from behind, otherwise when the leader comes back, it will be difficult to go out again, so hurry up and let the brothers prepare." β
"Well... All right. β
Most of these horse thieves joined later, and when the earliest 800 people were almost all taken away, Dongfang Sheng probably relied on some means to get some slaves from the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and where to get some slaves, and also recruited displaced people regardless of the border, but to discuss the combat power, and the wolf rider around Gongsun Zhi was still too far away.
However, for the big leader who has never been seen, these people are afraid in their hearts, and from the mouths of some horse thieves who stayed behind, they will occasionally know about the ferocity of Gongsun Zhi, and they will kill people all over the world, of course, most of them are Xiongnu and Xianbei people.
In the morning light of the woods, the sound of birdsong was gentle and crisp, and then an incongruous voice shouted: "Get on the horse, go!" β
The horse's hooves turned up the dust of fallen leaves, and Dongfang Sheng looked abrupt in a Confucian robe mixed with a group of horse thieves, following the horse thieves of more than 100 people roared out and ran towards the northwest.
......
The early morning wind caresses the tender green grass with a slight coolness, and the blades of grass sway...... A horse's hoof stepped heavily into the dirt, followed by a roar of horses' hooves, rolling up grass and mud crumbs.
The arrow flew through the sky, puffed and nailed to the fleeing war horse in front, a figure wearing ring armor fell with the war horse down, several fierce Huns turned off the horse and rushed over frantically, tearing off the armor on the other party's body, one of the Huns savagely pulled the opponent's helmet away, revealing a golden beard, blue-eyed man's big face, when struggling, the short knife quickly cut blood on the opponent's neck.
"Ah......h
The man clutched his neck and writhed in pain, blood seeping through his fingers and gushing out, and half of his body was quickly stripped of his armor.
The galloping horses' hooves, the two hundred Huns are still pursuing, shouting and killing the sky, constantly shooting arrows at the strange cavalry of about one hundred fleeing in front, the armor on the other side is like a moving treasure trove for them, but unfortunately the war horse under the seat is not covered with armor, and the targeted archery against the war horse continues, as long as the other party falls off the horse, the bulky body will soon be torn apart by the murderous Huns.
At the forefront, a slender figure covered with a visor, pulled the reins, looked back, and saw the death of her companion, she said, "Ah! With a bang, the arrow was nailed, and the left arm was waved with a hand shield, and he missed it, pulled out a patterned knife without a scabbard buckled on the copper belt, and wanted to reflexively kill back, but was pulled by a man next to him who was extremely burly and carried a wide sword, and after shouting a few words quickly in an easy-to-understand language, he ran forward again.
It was not that they had not fought each other, but the ragged-looking cavalry did not engage them, but scattered and fled, using bows and arrows on horseback against their horses.
"Stephanie, my sister, the cavalry of the Oriental steppes...... It's too cunning..."The big man with burly hair like a lion's mane before glanced back, and his chapped lips were slightly open and spoke: "...... The lions are not able to fight the wolves, and we must find the emperor of the Eastern Empire and rescue our suffering compatriots as soon as possible. β
Under the metallic mask, the woman's voice spread with the wind: "...... The warriors of the Holy City will not give in, and when our soldiers are freed, they will teach these savage steppe people a lesson. β
Only they can hear the sound of words, behind the name of the Northern Xiongnu will be the leader is to lead hundreds of people to chase and kill a group of people who broke out of the territory with light horses, the armor weapons and even war horses on these people are completely different from the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty, he has cut a person, the protection of the armor is relatively much better, the other party had about 200 people at first, and now he has chased and killed half of them, the armor weapons, and the undead war horses have been collected back and dedicated to Da Danyu.
Now most of the people have returned, but he still chases down with some of them, probably wanting to sit in the position of the protector of the capital...... The spring wind became warm, and it hit the face, and although the figure running away from the vision was tall and burly, it was only a burly sheep.
The wolf's howl suddenly sounded in the distance.
β¦β¦
"Wolves?"
"Wolves?"
As he frowned, the burly man in front of the fleeing cavalry also voiced the same question in a different language, and in his belief that wolves were the source of calamity.
As soon as the words fell, in the direction of chasing and fleeing, the howl of the wolf was heard again, and Zhi Nahan suddenly pulled the reins, slowed down, and swept his eyes away.
ββ¦ It's a white wolfβ"
He suddenly shouted, and more than a hundred Hun cavalry around him hurriedly dispersed and ran wildly.
β¦β¦
"Geraldβ"
On the war horse with the horse's hooves frantically, the slender figure wearing a visor and helmet shouted anxiously: "...... What's going on with them? β
Before the man next to them could reply, the clatter of horses' hooves suddenly exploded on their way, rumbling across the land, and then someone blew the wolf's throat.
Wow~Wow......
It was a group of cavalry arrays that also wore leather jackets and looked tattered, and began to spread out, drawing their bows and arrows, and at this moment the female knights who called Stephanie almost despaired, they had fled here for a long time to the limit, how could they avoid it.
However, arrows flew over their heads.
