Chapter Twenty-Four: Angry Shan Yu
It has been late April in the fifth year of Jian'an, and for the herdsmen living in the Hetao area, it has not been a good year since last year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There was a war all the time, at first the Han people came in, fought the Xiongnu, and then the Han people left, and the various ethnic groups within the Hetao began to fight each other, at first everyone fought with the Huns together, and halfway through the fight, they fought with each other again.
The herdsmen living in this land have suffered a lot, but they dare not graze in large pastures, for fear of crossing the line or suddenly killing a group of people who don't know which side will reward them with a knife, but what are they doing if they don't graze? Farming? Who would?
The old herdsmen have not taken care of a lot, these days it is rare to be calm, driving the cattle and sheep to find a grassland with abundant water and grass, watching the cattle and sheep that have been a little emaciated frantically chewing the tender grass, leisurely relieved, and then go on like this, we must consider whether to migrate to the outside of the plug, although the ground is thin, but at least it will not be as worried as here.
It's been a long time since this place has been so messy.
Holding a little lamb, the old herdsman looked at the sky and muttered to himself, people stay in one place for a long time, they will always have feelings for this land, these herdsmen who have survived in the Hetao area for a long time, naturally they will not know that they will have a kind of nostalgia similar to their homeland.
Everyone, let's end this war quickly!
In the grassland, the definition of the people is very vague, many times they are grazing in their spare time, when there is a war, these herdsmen with weapons directly become warriors, the people on horseback, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are born warriors, because they are born from birth, in order to protect their property, they will fight against all kinds of fierce beasts on the grassland.
The already very old hound crawled beside the owner, listening to the owner's chatter, the drooping eyelids would occasionally sweep out, but most of the time, it was lying on the ground, it was too old, just like its owner, maybe tomorrow, it would never get up again, except for the old master, no one in the whole family liked it, suddenly, the old hound's ears were ridged, and the limbs that were originally crawling on the ground suddenly stood up, looking into the distance vigilantly, and a whimper came out of his throat.
The earth began to tremble slightly, the cattle and sheep also began to become restless, stopped grazing, the old herdsman drove the cattle and sheep to leave, he knew too well what this meant, this is the movement of the march of the large army, on the distant horizon, you can already see a black line in the place where the heaven and earth meet, constantly wriggling, thickening, a killing momentum rushed to the face.
"Hurry ~ Hurry up!" The old herdsman rode his old horse, when he was young, he was also a warrior in the clan, and he also used to shoot a bow and arrow, he was no stranger to such a scene, he did not expect that he ran out to graze today, and he happened to meet a large group of people and horses rushing to the road, lamenting his luck in his heart, and at the same time anxiously waving the horse whip to drive the cattle and sheep.
"Wang~"
The old hound anxiously ran to and fro beside the old master's horse, and from time to time barked twice in the direction that made it feel very dangerous, and it was getting closer and closer, so close that it could see each other clearly.
The old herdsman glanced at the direction of the coming army, a little desperate, there were too many people, driving cattle and sheep, there was no way to avoid these people, he had been on the battlefield, he knew very well that so many people rushed over, no one would pity him this old bone in the middle of the road, and even someone would shoot arrows at him, he did not doubt this at all, natural selection, in this land, and even farther grassland, the old man will always be a burden, whether the Huns or the Xianbei people, will not like the old man this group, he is afraid of a long time ago, When these old people were in their prime, they also made contributions, but the Huns never talked about merit.
"Boom~"
The old man wanted to give up the cattle and sheep at this time, but it was too late, as if an endless iron horse swept in, and the old herdsman was even more insignificant than a drop in the ocean in the face of this kind of battle.
"Poof~"
A cluster of arrows pierced the old man's chest, and red blood splattered out, and the old man's body trembled, with a little nostalgia in his eyes, and then he froze forever at this moment, and his body fell from the horse weakly.
"Wang~"
The old hound anxiously looked at the old master who slipped down, went up and dragged it, but unfortunately, it was too old to drag it at all, and turned his head to look at the horses that had been approaching, and the old hound pounced on it with a fierce look, wanting to avenge the old master.
"Poof~"
No one paid attention to it, in the wailing of the old hound, the high-speed galloping war horse directly knocked it away, and then countless iron hooves stepped over it, turning into a sigh of red, staining the land red and the panicked fleeing cattle and sheep, gradually annihilated by the crowd, from beginning to end, the army did not pause for a moment.
On the vast land, 30,000 Hun iron horsemen gathered into a huge cavalry array, densely swept through like locusts, billowing smoke and dust swept up from behind, gradually raised, from a distance, as if a sandstorm swept in.
Before the Hun array, Liu Bao was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and his eyes looked at the camp that gradually became clear in front of him.
These damn Han Chinese!
There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, these Han people were obviously ready to snatch the best position first, no matter where he set up camp, in terms of angle, he would be in a disadvantageous situation.
Cursing the other party's commander fiercely in his heart, Liu Bao raised his right arm high at the same time, this distance is no longer suitable for continuing to run, the Han people's horse pit, for these Huns who are good at horse warfare, is a disaster, it greatly limits the role of horse warfare in this land, and the production is simple, anyone as long as the limbs are sound, can be made.
The desolate sound of the horn sounded in the wild with Liu Bao's movements, and the cavalry gradually slowed down and stopped advancing five miles away from the old camp of Xianlingqiang.
"Camp!" Glancing at the Lu Bu camp, the big banner of Lu Zi fluttering in the wind, Liu Bao's eyes shrank, and he gritted his teeth a little, since the other party had snatched the best position, he could only find a farther distance to go down to the village.
Liu Bao is naturally not stupid enough to go up and provoke directly like Hamur, Lu Bu is here, so he can't be interested in fighting at all, the first warrior of the Huns was defeated in the hands of one of his subordinates, and the deity has arrived, and there is no reason to send someone to be slapped in the face.
In order to prevent Lu Bu from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, Liu Bao ordered ten thousand-strong teams to patrol around, once the other party took advantage of his own camp to sneak attack, he immediately attacked, trapping the horse pit became his own restriction at the same time, it also restricted the opponent's cavalry.
Lu Bu's camp, on a newly built Diao Dou, Lu Bu put up a pergola, carefully watched the Huns start to set up a village in an orderly manner, tens of thousands of people patrolled around, and directly extinguished the idea of sneak attack.
"Look at this scale, there are 30,000 troops." Lu Bu put down his hand, shook his head, and said, "Send more scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Huns. ā
"Whoa!" Zhou Cang, who was standing beside him, agreed, and waved a flag downward, and more than a dozen scout Pegasus galloped out of the gate and began to cruise in all directions.
"Yo~" On Lu Bu's shoulder, there was already a one-and-a-half-foot eagle who called and pecked Lu Bu's shoulder with his mouth.
"Let's go play." Lu Bu shook his arm, the eaglet screamed happily, spread its wings, and went straight into the sky like a sharp arrow, hovering over the camp for a few times, and then gliding towards the distant Hun camp.
"What a beautiful eagle!" Liu Bao was urging the soldiers to build a camp, his eyes suddenly swept to the old camp gliding in the sky, he couldn't help but admire, and when he was admiring, he saw the eagle swooping down, and a Hun soldier who was propping up a tent felt different, and subconsciously turned his head, but saw a white shadow flashing in front of him, followed by a pain in his left eye, and then the pain in his heart spread from the eye frame to the whole body in an instant.
In the heart-rending screams, Liu Bao looked at the soldiers who were rolling on the ground and lost one eye, and scolded angrily: "What a brute! ā
As he spoke, he took off his bow and arrow, and aimed at the eaglet is an arrow, the arrow is like a meteor, and the timing is just right, it is the moment when the eaglet hovers in the air.
"Yo~"
It seems that the general who sensed the crisis, the eaglet's wings flapped three times in succession, the body rose sharply, the arrow cluster brushed its claws, crossed a parabola in the air, and saw that it was about to fall, but saw the eaglet rush forward, grabbed the arrow shaft with its claws, swirled in the air, and swooped down towards Liu Bao, the arrow shaft let go at the moment when the speed rushed to the fastest, and smashed towards Liu Bao.
"Hmph~"
Liu Bao waved his bow away from the arrows flying horizontally, and looked at the flat-haired beast coldly, but saw that the other party was also looking at him, as if he wanted to remember him.
"Hah!" Liu Bao suddenly had a very ridiculous feeling in his heart, as if an assassin was glaring at him, and pointed at Xiaoying and said, "Whoever can shoot this beast down, I will promote him to be a thousand-commander!" ā
Commander Qian, who is already considered a high-level in the Huns, a group of soldiers heard this, put down their work, looked up at the eaglet, and one by one took their bows and arrows and shot towards the eaglet.
"Yoyo~"
The little eagle called twice, revealing a little smugness, its wings shook, its body slid forward, and disappeared in an instant, but Liu Bao's face darkened at the moment.
I saw that the clusters of arrows that rose in the air fell down with all their strength after losing their targets, and many of them fell directly into the crowd, and then all of a sudden the barracks was filled with screams one after another.
Fortunately, it was just a whim just now, and only the hundreds of people around me were heard, and only a dozen or so people were injured or directly unlucky and shot to death, which was not a loss, but he was actually tricked by a brute, which made Liu Bao strangely angry. (To be continued.) )
