Chapter 161: The Martial Arts of the Huns
Even with the call of Subu, the morale of the Huns was improved, but the raid was still very successful, except for Subu and a small number of Huns who broke through and left, the remaining more than 3,000 Huns remained.
More than 3,000 horses were seized, as well as a lot of cattle and sheep, and a lot of booty. More than 300 Han men and more than 700 women were rescued, many of whom were rescued one after another during the follow-up pursuit.
As for those who were captured earlier, they were no longer within the scope of Li Ming's rescue, and if they continued to drag on, they were afraid that they would have to spend the winter here in Puzi County. In this year without cotton, on the march in winter, it is easy to have non-combat attrition.
The man was fine, and many of them even planned to join the army, but they knew that Li Ming was only afraid that he would not fight the Huns, so he took his leave and left. According to them, they planned to go over and join the army, as long as they could kill the Huns, they were not afraid of death.
There are also some people who have returned to their hometowns, they do not have the courage to fight with the Huns, and only hope to survive in secret.
Women are much worse, and if they have family members or boyfriends, they just pick them up. The Eastern Han Dynasty did not attach so much importance to chastity, and it was not their fault, so it was still easy to accept.
As for more, he was disheartened, and Li Ming even suspected that as long as he let them go, he would kill himself in a short time.
"Zhicai, what do you say these female dependents should do? I have to say that those Huns are really good at picking, the younger one is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the older one is only less than thirty years old. "Li Ming can't help but have a headache, those Huns are really evil.
"Alas, these female dependents are all suffering people of the Han Dynasty, and now they have no home to return to...... If the lord can't bear it, why don't you talk to the soldiers, if anyone has a good eye, marry back, even if it is a concubine. Xi Zhicai sighed, and then proposed.
This proposal was very good, Li Ming immediately agreed, and then invited the soldiers to announce the matter, and the single dogs among the soldiers immediately roared and rushed to the side of the female dependents.
"Stop!" Seeing this, Li Ming immediately roared, "I haven't seen a woman or what?" These female dependents are all victims, and at this moment, they are finally able to get out of the sea of suffering, and what should I do if I become afraid of men after being scared by you? If you want to find a woman, you can't force it, you can't fight for it, it's all based on your personal charm, who dares to make them cry, be careful of my military law! ”
"Yes!" The soldiers smiled embarrassedly, and then walked over in an orderly manner.
The pairing went very smoothly, and in less than an hour, there were already more than 600 female dependents left, and they all had families. As for whether to be a wife or a concubine, this Li Ming can't care about it. Just told those soldiers who had found a concubine that if the eldest woman dared to abuse the concubine when he went back, he would also deal with them martial.
Isn't it a blatant crime to even control your own women and provoke those suffering women?
"How many don't you pick?" After dealing with these things, Li Ming noticed that Zhang Mo and the others didn't seem to do anything.
"I have a wife!" Dian Jie smiled bitterly, the key is that his daughter-in-law is very competitive and has already given birth to two big fat boys.
"If you don't have a career, how can you start a family?" Xu Huang said slowly, quite arrogant.
"Nothing to look at!" Xiao Yao replied in a chic manner.
"Ditto!" Zhang Mo's answer was more concise and clear.
It is not denied that the Huns captured and plundered all folk women, even if they were young, their skin was not much better. As for the boutiques, that is, the ladies of those big families, they have already been sent back to the grassland first. It's just, is it really good for you to dislike it like this?
Five days later, Li Ming crossed the junction of Pingyang County and Hedong County and successfully entered Hedong County. During this period, the other three bandits did not dare to continue to come out to make trouble, but they were inevitably a little bored when they were simply in a hurry.
"The virtuous nephew has made a great contribution this time! Actually bring Uncle Shi? "Entering Anyi County, Dong Zhuo still came forward to greet him in person, and Li Ming sent someone to send the loot back, so he naturally wanted to pass through Hedong County, so Dong Zhuo naturally understood the situation of the thief.
"The thief is so unbearable, how dare he bother Uncle Shi to come forward?" Li Ming smiled bitterly.
"Don't talk to me about these polite things, Lao Tzu doesn't like it, you kid has to come over for a drink tonight, if you don't go out sideways, you just don't give Uncle Shi face!" Dong Zhuo didn't say a word, and pulled Li Ming into the county.
Li Ming had no choice but to go to Dong Zhuo's house for another small gathering, and during the banquet, Dong Zhuo mentioned his daughter again, and Li Ming finally pretended to be drunk and fooled him over.
"This kid!" How could Dong Zhuo not know that he was pretending to be drunk and changed to someone else, such as Li Ru who roared angrily, afraid that he would not comply? It's just that this kid is Zhu Jun's disciple, and if he marries a daughter, he wants to be a concubine for others, and he can't provoke the prestige of the Yingchuan Xun clan, so it's not good to force anything.
The next day, they talked about the martial arts of the Xiongnu. Whether it was the magic of witchcraft or the invulnerability of Xu Bu, it made Li Ming curious.
"Most of the martial arts of the Huns come from the Han Dynasty, but they also have some private goods, many of which are derived from the martial arts of the Han Dynasty, and some of them are unique." Dong Zhuo obviously knows more about the Huns.
"That is to say, this weapon, there is a unique mineral in the grassland, called bone gold, which is as white as jade but harder than iron. This thing can't be smelted directly, it can only be directly polished into a weapon, and because it's very rare, ordinary people can't afford to use it! Dong Zhuo made a gesture.
Li Ming immediately remembered that earlier, the weapons used by the Huns on the Qiluo Pavilion, two waist knives, were not long, but they were as white as jade, and a bit like bones; Later, Subu's fist gloves and broadsword should have been made of this ore.
"Where did the bone gold come from?" Li Ming asked curiously.
"No one knows, only that someone has picked it up before, and it seems to be scattered on the prairie. No one knows where the bone gold came from, only that it is not easy to polish, but the weapon after polishing is harder than steel. And because they are too small and too few, most of them are just short weapons such as fist gloves or waist knives. Dong Zhuo said.
Subu's big knife is not small, and it can be seen that the bone gold may not be small, but it has not been found.
"Let's not talk about the magic of witchcraft, just tell through the gods and ghosts! The key is steel boxing, which is a unique martial art of the Huns, and it is also a martial art that only nobles can learn!
This thing is very particular about qualifications, and many Huns can't succeed in cultivating! I've only heard legends that people who have successfully cultivated are invulnerable and more powerful than oxen.
The cultivator himself is a murder weapon that can walk, and as a price, it seems that those who have cultivated the steel fist technique will not be able to practice Qi! Dong Zhuo briefly introduced the two abilities unique to the Huns.
Li Ming suddenly thought about it when he heard this, although Xu Bu was invulnerable, he didn't really use any martial arts. One move and one style are completely based on the physical quality of the attack. I see, it's steel boxing!
It's a pity that Dong Zhuo only knows that thing, and he hasn't even seen it, so he can't learn more about steel boxing.
