187.Chapter 187
A horse thief leader, leading his sons, struggled to hack two Xianbei people to death.
Wiping a handful of blood splashed on his face, he shouted loudly at the twenty-five or six-year-old man not far away: "Jiang Xiaode, didn't you say that the defense of Danhan Mountain is lax and easy to break?" ”
"Now that we've died so many sons, we can't attack it at all!"
Although there are more than 4,000 horse thieves, the Xianbei people are indeed brave and good at fighting. Even those old people and teenage children can get on the horse and fight.
If it was an ordinary tribe annexation, they would not be so desperate. But their opponent is a horse thief, and the Xianbei people know that if these horse thieves break through Danhan Mountain, then all the Xianbei people will not be able to live.
Jiang Xiaode brandished the big knife in his hand and killed five people in a row, he was covered in blood and looked a little hideous.
Filial piety is his word, his real name is Jiangwu, and he is a descendant of Jiangchong in the Western Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell ill in his later years, and Jiang Chong instructed Hu Wutan He to deceive Emperor Wu and said: "There is a lot of Gu Qi in the palace, if you don't get rid of it, the disease will not be bad (the illness will not be cured)." ”
Emperor Wu believed it to be true, so he sent Jiang Chong to strictly inspect it. For a time, Jiang Chong leaned towards the opposition.
Jiang Chong had a feud with the prince Liu, so he framed the prince, Jiang Chong dug Gu in the palace and dug out the puppet made of paulownia wood. Liu was frightened and sent troops to kill Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong's henchmen fled to Ganquan Palace to report to the emperor that the crown prince had rebelled.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent people to quell the rebellion, the crown prince committed suicide by hanging the beam, and the empress Wei Zifu also committed suicide. It is known as the 'Scourge of Witches'.
Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that the crown prince Liu was not remorseful, and he was full of remorse, so he destroyed the three clans of Jiangchong and built a 'thinking palace' in Huxian County.
Although the Jiang family was razed by the three clans, Jiang Yun's youngest son fled to the north. The Jiang family has been living between the white waters of Black Mountain and hunting for more than 200 years.
The Jiang family was thin for generations, and it was not until the time of Jiang Wu's father that the situation improved. Not only did he have Jiang Wu, but his wife also gave birth to another son and a daughter.
Due to the increase in the population of the family, and the fact that more than two hundred years have passed since the 'Witch Gu Scourge', everyone thinks that the Jiang family is extinct.
So Jiang Wu's father wanted to take the family down the mountain to make a living. After all, although there is no need to pay taxes in the mountains, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and it is easy to die if you live in the mountains.
So, Jiang Wu's father took the family down the mountain to settle down.
Jiang Wu was brave at a young age, fighting a lone wolf in the mountains at the age of fifteen, and even hunted a tiger cub at the age of twenty.
Chinese people have been relatively xenophobic since ancient times, and the Jiangwu family often suffered ostracism at the beginning of their descent from the mountain. But the people in the north were fierce, and Jiang Wu relied on his own force, and it didn't take long for him to mingle with the nearby teenagers.
Since then, the Jiang family's situation has been much better.
However, the Jiang family had a bad fate, not long after their family settled down, the village was looted by the Xianbei people, and the whole family died.
Jiang Wudang was playing outside with a group of fox friends and dogs, and when he came back, he saw that the entire village had been slaughtered, and he was stunned.
Jiang Wu, who was nineteen years old at the time, suffered this great change and buried his family, but he actually found his father at home and never showed him something.
It records in detail the genealogy of the Jiang family and the glory of Jiang Chong in the Western Han Dynasty. Seeing this, Jiang Wu silently put away the things, and then disappeared.
It wasn't until three years later that a horse thief leader Jiang Wu suddenly appeared outside the Saiwai, and he also gave himself a table called filial piety.
With his bravery and courage, Jiang Wu led his subordinates to constantly attack the Xianbei people, as well as those Han merchants who went out of the fortress to trade with the Xianbei people.
Today, seven years have passed since his family's tragic death. And Jiang Wu, among the horse thieves outside the Saiwai, has a great reputation.
Most of the horse thieves outside the Saiwai were Han people from the north who had killed their families by the Xianbei people, and some were Han slaves who were looted by the Xianbei people.
Almost all of them, horse thieves, were alone, full of hatred, and attacked the Xianbei people outside the Saiwai.
This is also why, as long as they break through the tribe of the Xianbei people, they will slaughter everyone inside.
They believe that hatred can only be washed away with blood.
Although the horse thieves outside the fortress do not have a very large group, almost all of them are connected to each other.
They have the same purpose, if they find the right opportunity, they will encounter a weak Xianbei tribe. They would band together and break down the tribe, steal the contents and raise their butcher's knives.
Therefore, it is not only the horse thieves outside the Saiwai who hate the Xianbei people, but even the Xianbei people are also very hateful to the horse thieves.
When the two meet, there will be no superfluous words, let alone compromise, and some will just kill.
Jiang Wu led his horse thieves to charge forward, but he shouted loudly: "We are horse thieves outside the fortress, and none of us are afraid of death." As long as you can take the nest of the Xianbei dog, even if you die in battle, what's the matter? ”
The leader of the horse thieves, who was the first to speak, laughed and shouted, "Well said! ”
"If I can take the nest of the Xianbei dog this time, I will take my brothers to join the Yellow Turban Army."
"I just heard about the Yellow Turban Army robbing Xianbei and 50,000 people in Xianbei with 500 people, and also beheading Xianbei Khan. When I think of this, I feel my blood boiling! ”
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Wu also laughed and said, "We just happened to take the big gift of Danhan Mountain as a gift for the audience. ”
The other horse thief leader was about to say something, when suddenly a Xianbei man who was pretending to be dead on the ground jumped up with all his strength and slashed the horse thief leader to death.
"Ho-ho!"
The leader of the horse thieves clutched his neck, but could no longer speak.
"Old Black!"
When Jiang Wu saw this situation, he hissed and shouted loudly.
The men of the horse thief leader were all furious when they saw the tragic death of their leader. They pounced on them and slashed the Xianbei man to death.
The battlefield, that's it. If you kill, you will be killed.
Since ancient times, even the most brave and warlike generals have mostly died on the battlefield.
"Kill!"
There was no room for sadness on the battlefield, Jiang Wu watched the leader of the horse thieves being killed by the Xianbei people, he roared angrily, and continued to lead the horse thieves to fight with the Xianbei people.
Although the horse thieves are more strong than the Xianbei people, the number of Xianbei is far more than the horse thieves. Even those Xianbei women who are five big and three thick can step on war horses and fight horse thieves.
If it was a war between tribes, they would never take part in it. But being attacked by horse thieves, they had no choice but to fight to the death.
It can be said that almost all the people who were able to take up arms in Danhan Mountain were at war with horse thieves.
Although their combat effectiveness is uneven, they can even be called a rabble. But the sheer size of the population has allowed them to slowly gain the upper hand.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the brothers around him fall one by one, Jiang Wu's heart was dripping blood.
He lost his family and went to work as horse thieves outside the Saiwai, and these horse thieves who had the same experience as him became his brothers, his relatives.
They share the same ideals, the same hatred. Get along every day, and the feelings between each other are already very deep.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Jiang Wu waved the weapon in his hand and roared angrily.
"Killing one is enough, killing two earns one!"
The horse thieves also roared angrily, and each of their men killed almost more than two Xianbei people.
Without the elite warriors of the tribe, the Xianbei people, the horse thieves were far superior to them in combat. But when the Xianbei people met the horse thief, there was no way out.
Therefore, they can only exchange their lives for their lives and fight with the horse thieves.
Tang Chen, with some scouts, saw Jiang Wu's figure from a distance and couldn't help but be surprised.
Looking at the stalemate of the battle, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led everyone back to the place where the Yellow Turban Army rested.
The Yellow Turbans rested, ate some dry food, and drank a little water. Although their physical strength has not fully recovered, they also feel a lot more relaxed.
The horses were pulled by knights and ate grass on the vast grassland.
"Stomp, stomp!"
Tang Chen came to Chen Xu with those scouts, and said a little breathlessly: "Lord, it was not the rest of the Xianbei tribes that attacked Danhan Mountain, but the horse thieves outside the Saiwai. ”
"Horse thief?"
Hearing that the horse thief actually dared to attack Danhan Mountain, all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were extremely surprised.
Tian Feng asked aloud: "How many horse thieves are there?" What is the situation between the two sides? ”
Tang Chen hurriedly replied, "There are about four thousand horse thieves, and the two sides are now fighting inseparably. However, the Xianbei people were attacked by horse thieves, and the battle must have been chaotic at first, and they and horse thieves were often never dead. ”
"So when they come to their senses, the situation of the horse thieves should not be optimistic."
"Hahahaha!" Tian Feng laughed loudly when he heard this, and said to Chen Xu, "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord!" ”
"At the beginning, I was worried that we would lose a lot of horses and horses when we attacked Danhan Mountain. But now that there are horse thieves in the vanguard, we just have to reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”
"After the battle between the two is over, we will lead the army to raid Danhan Mountain, and we will definitely be able to capture the Xianbei Royal Court without wasting our efforts."
When Chen Xu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
But he didn't want to, Zhao Huang on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The lord can't!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all focused on Zhao Huang, with a puzzled look on their faces.
Tian Feng said that there is no disadvantage to the Yellow Turban Army. They didn't know why Zhao Huang spoke out against it.
Tang Chen, who was on the side, stepped forward and said, "Please also ask the lord to send troops now to help those horse thieves!" ”
……
Danhan Mountain, as more and more Xianbei people join the battlefield, the offensive of the horse thieves is getting weaker and weaker.
Seeing one brother after another fall to the ground, Jiang Wu's eyes were about to split. According to the current situation, it is almost impossible for them to break through Danhan Mountain.
"Damn, I didn't expect Xianbei people to be so tenacious!"
He couldn't bear to let his brothers die here, and was about to withdraw his troops, but suddenly heard a sound of war drums, from far and near.
Jiang Wu was horrified in his heart, thinking that the reinforcements of the Xianbei people had arrived. He looked up, only to find a large banner with the character 'Chen' written in Chinese.
