"What are the Qiang people doing at the cold wind outlet? We don't have much contact with the Qiang people, so why stop us? The right bone is waiting for the explanation of King Hutu to be even more confused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey!" King Hutu sighed: "It's a long time to say this, let me tell you, this king has made a business with others, as long as we win this battle, we can have most of the 10,000 head of livestock, and this kind of transaction is not agreed by this king." ”

"Tens of thousands of livestock? We're going to rob the Qiang? The right bone Du Hou frowned: "I'm afraid there are some problems, since we have this meaning, those horse thieves galloping in the Western Regions are probably also moved, it is not a good thing to force things from their mouths, in case ......!" ”

King Hutu waved his hand: "This king knows, but it is impossible for this king to let tens of thousands of livestock go, and horse thieves are not worried." ”

The right bone is waiting for the hurried and said: "The king may have forgotten that there are still ruthless characters among the horse thieves in the Western Regions, such as that Hacking Hu'er, and those horse thieves who recently came from Jiayu Pass, these are not easy to provoke, if they meet, I am afraid that a conflict will break out!" ”

King Hutu frowned: "I can't take care of it, I have to take this risk for tens of thousands of livestock!" ”

Erma led the Qiang people out of Yumen, and he was not at ease with Su Ren's promise, so he deliberately left the general soldiers and horses behind. In front of Jiancheng, the Qiang people were afraid, but in the open field, no one was afraid of the Qiang people, even the Huns, they dared to rush up. I think that back then, their ancestors relied on their courage and the spirit of not being afraid of death to lay down the south of Ganliang Road, so that they had the opportunity to prosper and grow.

Blind Medicine rode over on horseback, and Erma's nerves immediately tensed: "What's the matter?" Did Su Ren break his promise and send troops to chase after him? ”

Blind Medicine hurriedly shook his head: "No! Su Ren did not send troops to chase after us, we have now left the Yumen for thirty miles, can we return the military horses behind the palace, there must be more danger in front of us! The Jade Sect sent people to look at it. ”

Erma shook his head: "By all means, this Su Ren is good at playing with intrigues, be careful!" The old man didn't find anything wrong with the previous things, and it was not too late to transfer the rear army back after the cold wind! ”

The cold wind outlet is an extremely strange place, it is surrounded by large areas of Gobi desert and desert in front and behind, only here is a high mountain beam jumping abruptly. Some people say that this place was originally the course of the Hami River, and it took hundreds of years of impact to form this tall mountain range composed of sandstone. Later, the Hami River was diverted to the current course, leaving the original embankment of the Hami River here.

After personally inspecting the terrain of the cold wind outlet, Su Ren did not agree with this statement. As a mountaineer, this wind-blown sandstone terrain is not caused by the river at all. The river will not turn a good mountain into a towering pillar, and even if it did, it would not be such sandstone, at least it would be made of hard diamond.

The cold wind inlet is located in the center of the sandstone mountain, and a mile-long opening divides the sandstone mountain into two halves. When the cold wind blowing from Bailong Beach passes here, most of it diverts around the huge sandstone pillars, and only the cold wind outlet is unobstructed, and the cold wind that cannot pass in time is gathered together and blown out in one go. That's why there is a cold wind outlet.

The cold wind vent is a great place to hide soldiers, and the huge sandstone pillars are the best place to hide. Moreover, the sandstone pillars stretch for dozens of miles, and no one can find them as long as they get into them. Even the locals won't get in easily, and if they don't, they'll get lost, and then get trapped in it, blown into dry corpses by the wind.

Erma raised his arm and motioned for the army to stop. He is also a veteran soldier who has been in a hundred battles, so he can naturally see the topographical characteristics of the cold wind outlet. With a wave of his hand, someone immediately quickly drilled into the sandstone pillar group, searching back and forth. A few even climb high sandstone pillars to look around. He didn't find anything wrong, which reassured Erma a little. But when he saw the dry bones on the side of the road, the ominous feeling came back to him.

Blind Medicine also looked around: "This place is really a strange place, the guide said that there will be no horse thieves here, the sandstone mountain is very strange, the people who go in have never come out, people who have walked this road for many years are like this, although the horse thieves are powerful, but they will not ambush in such a place!" ”

Erma frowned: "I'm still not at ease, order everyone to pass quickly, disperse the army, protect women, children and livestock along the way, a hundred steps before and after, and support immediately if there is a problem!" The blind medicine agreed, and hurriedly went down to give the order.

No matter how the mighty team is tightened, it shows that it is sparse. Huge women, children, and cattle were dragged out for half a mile. If such a long team wants to escort all of them, it is impossible to do without fifty or sixty thousand military horses. There were only 20,000 soldiers left in Erma's hands, and some of them were made up of women who had been transferred temporarily. The Qiang people, like the Huns, grew up on horseback, and the best cavalry was when they climbed on horseback, regardless of men, women, and children.

There were so many animals that hundreds of herdsmen had to work hard to bring them together. Seeing that there were only more than 10,000 livestock left, everyone's hanging hearts were relieved. The scattered soldiers began to retract, and the shepherds used their last strength to keep up with the most disobedient herd of cattle as best they could. They don't want to be thrown behind, in this unfamiliar place, once they leave the army, there is only one result, and that is death.

Erma stood on the dirt hill beside him, overlooking his team, it was still so majestic, he had already chosen a place to set up camp, that is, Hami. It was a good place, with abundant water and grass, fertile farmland, and it was located in the foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The most important point is that Hami has just experienced a battle, and although it is victorious, the combat force of Hami's army can also be seen clearly.

The last sheep entered the cold wind outlet, took two steps, lowered its head and began to nibble on the dead grass under the snow. This guy is the most disobedient one, and Erma knows him because he is the favorite pet of Erma's grandson. The little lamb walked gracefully, suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked around vigilantly, his ears constantly moving, as if trying to hear some hidden movement.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and Erma's heart was shocked. The scouts sent out beat their horses like flying, galloping wildly and thickly: "Hun cavalry!" Hun cavalry! ”

The spur was still too late, and it was only after the Qiang people had passed the cold wind that they could not arrive. When he accepted this order, he didn't know what the king had asked him to do at the cold wind mouth, and when he learned from the scout that a large group of Qiang people carrying a large number of livestock were passing through the cold wind mouth, the spike finally understood the king's intentions. Tens of thousands of livestock are a huge wealth for any tribe, and in the Huns, you don't look at how much gold, silver and jewelry, but how many cattle and sheep you have, and how many horses you have.

With a thrust order, everyone quickly moved towards the cold air vent. However, he was still a step too late, looking at the Qiang people who had already passed through the cold wind outlet, he stabbed and rushed straight to the Qiang army formation. The Assassin is the most courageous general under King Hugh Tu, although his own soldiers and horses are not as many as the Qiang, but the Assassin is not afraid, and has already shocked the Qiang people in terms of momentum.

The Qiang still could not withstand the attack of the Huns. Erma again ordered reinforcements, and as long as the herd did not suffer losses, it would not be a problem to have as many soldiers as he wanted when he returned to Qiang. The battle between the cavalry was very interesting, they were born to attack, they never knew what defense was, after a few meetings and meetings, the blood had stained the ground red, and the attack of the spurs still did not stop.

"Report ......, the front team found horse thieves, the number is about five thousand, and they have already engaged in battle!" A herald ran up the dirt hill and reported the news to Erma.

Erma hurriedly turned his head to look to the west, and sure enough, not far away, he was shouting and killing arrays, and he was also attacking his own team. The pain of fighting on both sides is there, and there is no way to concentrate superior forces to kill one side first. Although Erma does not believe that these two sides have not been discussed, how to deal with the current crisis needs to be carefully considered.

The blind medicine has returned from the front battle, and there is blood all over his body, I don't know if it is my own or someone else's: "Chief, those horse thieves are Hackhuer, they are desperately trying to attack in, the target is clearly our livestock, and many of them have been killed by them with minus." ”

Erma said angrily: "Damn horse thief, I am inseparable from you! ”

"Chief, what are we going to do now?"

"What else can I do! The right to resist, whether you can live in the Western Regions depends on this battle, tell the soldiers, and reward you after winning! ”

The Qiang soldiers burst out with a little bravery and momentum, and for a while, neither the Assassin nor Liu Hong could succeed. The most troublesome thing for them is that they can't withdraw if they want to withdraw at this time, and the people on both sides have already killed red eyes.

Thorn and Ying Guangji stood on top of the sandstone not far away, watching the battle below. Thorn said: "Isn't it time to attack, these Qiang people are really powerful, and they have withstood the onslaught of the Huns and Hu'er!" ”

Ying Guangji shook his head: "Don't worry, see it, the reinforcements of the Huns are coming!" ”

Thorn hurriedly turned his head, and sure enough, he saw smoke and dust billowing from the north, and a large group of cavalry was quickly coming back to this side: "The reinforcements of the Huns are coming very quickly, and the Qiang people are in danger now!" ”

Ying Guangji smiled: "The Qiang people are not as vulnerable as you think, in my opinion, they haven't reached the last moment, have you seen the guy standing on the dirt mountain?" Where are we still standing, we will only lose money if we rush down now, we need to wait for the Qiang and Huns to fight almost by surprise, maybe there will be a rich return! ”

Thorn laughed and pointed at Ying Guangji: "You are more and more like Su boy now!" How did I make such two friends, I'm afraid I will be unlucky in the future! ”

The addition of Xiongnu reinforcements made the Qiang people's position, which was not easy to stabilize, collapse again. And Erma still stood on the dirt mountain inquiringly, he had already seen who was the most dangerous opponent, not the powerful Hu'er of the Western Regions, but the powerful Xiongnu. grabbed the blind medicine, and Erma said: "Immediately lead someone to repel the horror Hu'er!" ”

Erma looked east and west: "Chief, the Huns are about to break our defense, and we should increase our troops at this time!" ”
