Chapter 504: Enlightenment
Countless horses' hooves swept the ground, and in the fierce roar, arrows slashed across the sky from the horse's back and shot at the pile of people rushing on the opposite side, splashing patches of blood, and the fierce roaring figures fell forward with their weapons, and some people were hit by arrows and knelt alone to let out a wailing and screaming. Two hundred and thirty miles northwest of the water, this tribe where the Ding Ling people gathered fell into a strange battle, and the Xianbei cavalry that was densely packed south did not entangle with them too much, and after shooting a rain of arrows, they galloped straight in the direction of the south.
In this group of tall and sturdy Ding Ling people, there are hundreds of Han cavalry who are still entangled with the huge torrent of the other party, and the arrows in their hands are constantly exchanged with the other party, and then they come to open the distance, and a small group of cavalry from the Xianbei 10,000 cavalry team flew up, and the team continued to move forward.
"Chi Po Su, the Xianbei people have passed."
In the intertwined corpse, an extremely tall, bare-chested figure gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow on his shoulder with flesh and blood, and when he heard someone call his name, he let out a deep breath, pinched the blood-stained feather arrow and threw it to the ground: "Inform the clansmen, it is not a good thing for the Xianbei people to suddenly go south without the order of the wolf king, we can't be derelict in our duties, we all chase after it——"
Two years ago, they were captured by the Xianbei people, most of the tribesmen died under the butcher's knife of the other party, and the rest came all the way south, and there were a number of deaths on the way, and now it is the wolf king in the south who is gracious, so that more than 4,000 people can settle down on the grassland, although they understand that the other party is just using their own side to strangle the Xianbei people, but after all, they have saved their lives, and the group can continue to reproduce, which is more important than anything else.
Not long after noon today, I received news from the grazing tribesmen: the Xianbei 10,000-strong cavalry suddenly moved south and pushed it over here!
Chi Po Su immediately summoned a thousand warriors to take the lead, wanting to block the other party's path in the middle, but before they could face each other, the Xianbei people from afar directly turned an arc to bypass them, after all, they were not good at riding horses, and they didn't even have much experience in horse herding, so they could only watch the other party shoot a wave of arrows and walk away.
He got up from the ground, and the Han cavalry who was entangled and fighting with the Xianbei squad in the distance also returned, and only seventy-six of the hundred people remained, and one of the cavalry captains led people to dismount and let his subordinates bandage the arrow wounds of Chipo Su, "What did I say before? In the first place, we should have killed all these Xianbei people in one go, and the pasture was managed by us Han people, but now these people still want to take a bite, and really think that their necks are harder than knives-"
The lieutenant chattered for a long time, and looked at the Ding Lingtou who was two shoulders taller than him, "Chi Po Su, you Ding Lingren don't want to learn from them in the future." After speaking, he raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, turned around and mounted his horse, and continued the pursuit with the remnants of the cavalry, while the nine hundred Ding Ling people over there followed on foot in the rear at the signal of Chi Po Su.
On the day of August 20th, the Southern Xiongnu Commander Ahunya was originally stationed in the grassland of Yanmen County, and by virtue of the last sneak attack on the enemy, he had Gongsun Zhi's defeat Kebi to add a contribution, so he was transferred to the grassland outside Macheng to garrison and escort the Han caravan, he led the troops for many years, and the people have reached the age of forty, and the possibility of wanting to go up is already very low, and in recent years, the Han people have become the key to moderation, Ah Hun Ya simply handed over the affairs, and only when the war will lead the troops to go out.
On this day, when the news came from the southeast Shanggu County, he was fighting with people in the wine shop in the city, and there were guards downstairs who came up to the second floor with the person who reported the news, and it was a Hun warrior in the army.
The Hun soldier rushed over and whispered a few words in Ah Hun Ya's ear, and the latter slammed on the desk, "That's okay!" ”
He said this in Chinese. When the voice came out, the person had already strode down the stairs, and the surrounding drinkers saw the Hun leaving in a hurry, but they didn't care, walked out of the wine shop for two steps, then turned back, took out money from his arms and slapped it on the table, "It's not enough, remember!" Then he rode out of the city.
When they returned to the tribe in a hurry, thousands of Hun cavalry had been assembled in an open place, and the Han people supervised the cavalry in the team to speak, these were originally people who were rushing around fighting on the grassland, and when they heard that they were going to fight the Xianbei people, they all showed fierce faces, after all, the grassland that originally belonged to them was occupied by such a group of people, and no one was happy.
Ah Hun Ya drew his knife on the horse's back: "Go!" Kill the Xianbei people—"
Then, the formation was reversed, and the horses rushed out one by one like long dragons, the horses' hooves gradually accelerated, and the dust between the grass rolled up, winding a huge arc on the boundless green grassland, killing the water in the northwest.
Thirty miles north of the Xianbei Royal Court, it is close to the edge of the royal court, the intertwined rivers are successively rich grasslands, a top leather felt tent, the time has reached the afternoon, the sun is skewed hanging in the sky, a herd of cattle and sheep is grazing warmly, the herdsman on horseback is lying on the back of the horse leisurely shaking the whip, suddenly heard the sound, he sat up and looked to the north.
The figures of the two horses came from far and near, and while the sheep retreated and dispersed in panic, the two men in fluffy fur armor and animal skin round hats said a few words to the herdsman not far away, as if to confirm the identity of the other party, the herdsman nodded in a daze, and the other party then rode away from this side.
In other directions, there were also many Xianbei cavalry who came first, or two or several people in a group from the left and right successively in the direction of the royal court, these people came not to fight and seek information, but to issue orders from Suonu Shan Yu to the tribes they encountered along the way.
"The Han people let us Xianbei people only know Chinese characters, only learn Chinese, believe in white wolves, and live forever The people of the world, my sons and daughters on the grassland should wake up, especially those literati and scholars among you, don't believe their words, lock slave Shan Yu has come from the grassland of Liaoxi, go back together, the royal court that has been insulted by the Han people will be abandoned from today, and follow us back to the grassland to set up another honor belonging to Xianbei......."
The sound of the Xianbei cavalry's shouts spread down, and from time to time someone came out to listen in the tents of the surrounding tribes, and a scholar from the Han Dynasty came over, and was hurriedly pressed back by the other party, not daring to let the wandering cavalry see. There were also tribes who dragged the Han people out and threw them into the field, where they were nailed to the ground with spears and spears by the cavalry who came.
The remnant sun was like blood, and more Xianbei knights came from the north.
On the distance to the north of the royal court, on the road and field where the wheels were crushed, there were screams from people from time to time, in front of the horse team that was pushed over, the lock slave looked in a certain direction, the Han people with robes were galloping, and several cavalrymen behind them pulled their bows and shot each other to the ground, and someone ran towards this side, and a Xianbei cavalry who was caught up swung a spear through his chest, and when the blood poured out, the figure of the man swayed, and his eyes looked fiercely at the lock slave led by the opposite side, and the corners of his blood-stained mouth opened to the extreme, and he roared: " Xianbei people! Kill my Han people, pay it back tenfold, but remember-"
The body fell, and the voice was still echoing.
Suo Nu glanced at the corpse silently, and turned his head, "The two clans can stand side by side, Gongsun Zhi has the heart of death, the grassland people should raise their swords to resist, don't be frightened by the words of these Han people." Immediately, with a wave of his hand, the team continued to move forward, and this line passed all the way, far and near, and the previous picture appeared from time to time, those Han Dynasty literati were crazy and scolded angrily, blood spread among the weeds, and soon, covered by countless hoof prints, they went straight according to the Xianbei noble tribe that guarded the royal court.
Far or near, thousands or even more herdsmen were shocked by the words from the shouts and walked out of their tents, and the herdsmen with horses galloped towards the royal court, and the lords of the Xianbei nobles also came to meet the slaves in front of the king's tent.
Over the years, since the massacre, the royal court has mostly been in a period of relative peace and free of strife, and has relied on Han trade, and the original remaining 47,000 herders have risen to 80,000 in these years. When the news came that the slaves had moved north, the lords of the various tribes found something awkward—they were somewhat reluctant to move away, or ratherd, they were accustomed to the present days, and this was probably the case with the herdsmen below.
The wild wolf mud leaned down beside him, "Shan Yu, they don't seem to want to go." ”
"Hmm."
Suo Nu pinched his knees and nodded, staring at the people opposite, his cheeks were clenched and bulging for a moment, and he raised his hand and was about to speak, when a tribal lord on the right side spoke first: "It's a little difficult for us to make enemies of the white wolf at this time...... Yesterday, news came that the great battle of the Han people in the southeast had ended, and more than 200,000 people had lost, but there were only 10,000 horsemen in their hands....."
There was an eerie atmosphere in the big tent.
When the mobilization and relocation were still being discussed, the sunset that was about to set showed the first rays of light, and Ah Hun Ya was already halfway with the three thousand Hun cavalry under his command, he looked at the sky from time to time and shouted: "When the wolf king's army arrives, these Xianbei people will all die here!" ”
Behind them, a group of Huns laughed playfully, although they rarely went to the battlefield, but the glory of the past made them feel more or less stronger than Xianbei, who came from Donghu, and even the earth dog who did not have the subordinate qualifications of the Huns at the beginning, and one point, there was a white wolf king behind them......
Many people also showed a firm gaze of 'more or less so'.
In the two miles to their right, the iron hooves gradually roared, shaking the earth, a galloping figure, a man and two horses spread over the hills, forests, into the vast grassland, the front is headed by a beast face swallowing head chain armor, bow and arrow with him, holding a figure of a halberd, in the red glow sprinkled by the clouds in the west, the tall, galloping fiery red war horse roared and neighed, the horseback of a hundred flowers robe stroked, the cloak was spread, the mighty body seemed to contain a terrifying might, can bulldoze everything.
"When you see the slave, ignore the other Xianbei cavalry, and kill him directly-"
In the setting sun, the sound of the exit spread like the roar of a lion and tiger, and soon the sky darkened.
