Chapter 38: Hate
After listening to what these people said, Wolf Skin broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that he could not decide this matter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Returned to Yangguan, settled these people, threw the captured slaves there, rested for the night, requisitioned a few horses and hurried back to Xia City with a few people who were still physically fed.
In the council hall, the chief and most of the officials of Xia Cheng gathered there, listening to the stories of the steppe told by the returnees.
"On the fifteenth of September, we burned another settlement after the group. The people in front of them probably knew that we didn't want to kill them, so they didn't run too fast. ”
"We rested in that settlement that night, because there were a few slaves in the team who could understand them, and we didn't kill them all, so we left a few people to ask."
"The settlements we burned belong to the big tribe with the salt pond in the north, and they usually graze their own herds, but if the leader calls for it, anyone who can ride a horse and fight must go. Most of the small settlements were not very populous, and could only rely on the largest tribe in the north, paying a few tributes every year for sheep and horse skins. There are also some tribes with large populations that don't listen to the largest tribe, and they are okay for the time being, as is the case with the tribe we hunt down. ”
"After asking about these things, Hakuba asked me to kill these people. As soon as I got out of the tent, the man in front of me suddenly felt a small knife in his arms, how could he beat me, I snatched it up, and thought about killing him directly. But as soon as I saw the knife, I asked my brother to break his arm, but he didn't kill him. ”
"It was an iron knife, I showed it to the white horse, and the white horse was also startled, if this group of people had iron knives, it would be troublesome. Then I took the man back, and at first he refused to speak, but then some of the shepherd slaves learned their way, and cut a few wounds on his body, sprinkled salt on it, and stabbed a sword in the shoulder blade, and picked the wound with his finger. ”
The man shouted a few times and begged us to kill him, so I asked him where the knife came from. This time he was honest and said everything. ”
"As we guessed, the Meteorite tribe came here a few months ago and gave the leader of the northern tribe a few iron swords, and the leader gave some sheep and horses to the Meteorite tribe at that time. This iron knife was given by the chief of the man when his father went to the north to attend the tribal convention, and it seemed to be the best on horseback and not the most powerful in wrestling. ”
"I was quite skeptical at the time, such a big tribe could easily kill and rob the few remaining people of the Meteorite Clan, how could they still give them sheep and horses? I asked the man, and the man said that the leaders of the tribes in the north thought that iron weapons were good, but iron weapons were only rams, and how to smelt these weapons was the ewes that could give birth to cubs, so at that tribal meeting, the people of the Meteorite tribe officially became part of their tribe and gave them a piece of pasture. ”
"The white horse asked some more questions, but I didn't understand too much, and I killed them when I was done. At noon the next day, dozens of people caught up with us. At that time, there were more than 100 of us, and killing them was like mowing grass, but those people were not afraid of death at all, and after the killing, the shepherd told me that these people had survived the settlements we had slaughtered before, and that they were here to take revenge, and that the settlement in the north had already known about us and was coming to kill us. ”
"At that time, I said that I would go back, and the grass was basically dry anyway, and it could be burned. Hakuba didn't know what he had heard from that man last night, and he said that he was going to do something that shocked the city, and he was going to take people to attack the village where the leader of the settlement was located in the north. Because at this time, the various settlements were scattered and grazed, and the place where they swore to fight was not in the village, but a sacred mountain that they believed in. ”
"I didn't think it was going to work, because the white horse said that if you wanted to get a tiger skin, you had to risk being eaten by a tiger; Rabbits can't eat people, but rabbit skins are all over the city, and no one will be surprised by a rabbit skin. ”
"Ji Xia, before you left, you told us to let us listen to Baima, so since he wants to do this, we will listen, plus many people want to make a meritorious service after returning to the city, but killing a woman and burning the house is not a meritorious feat, so everyone agreed."
"He gave me seventy men and told me to continue down the river to harass the settlement, and he set out for the night with all the rest. I led people to continue to attack, and those villages were on guard, and I knew that if I didn't mess up a little, it might not be easy for the White Horse side to succeed. Although I was against it before, but Ji Xia, you said that since it is decided, you will do it, and punish the opposition and other things until the end of the war, I thought about it, so I led people to storm a settlement and deliberately let a few people go. ”
"It was the end of September after the burning of that village, and I remember very clearly, there was no moon at night at all, and it was dark and dark. The grass was dry, and that night it was windy, so he set fire to the grass outside the village, and burned it all night, until the light of the fire could be seen in the distance all night, and when he left the next day, the sky was full of ashes. ”
"I don't know what happened to Hakuba, but I thought it was time to go back, so I took the people back. At noon on the third day, we were overtaken, about three or four hundred people. ”
"Although there are many people, I am not afraid at all. Our bows are longer than theirs, and our arrows are sufficient, and they can't beat them as long as we defend them. At that time, I told everyone to stop and camp along a small river. I've fought three battles with Ji Xia, and I know very well in my heart that moving at this time will reveal flaws, as long as I defend here, maybe the white horse side will succeed, and they will retreat. ”
"The moon hung early that night in the west, bent like a sickle, red, and shining on the opposite side. We lit several fires along the outside, and they rushed in a hurry, and we shot many people to death, but the next day there were many more. ”
"After two days, they shouldn't be from the same village, and they tried to fight a few times, but no one wanted to die, and we drove them back, but we couldn't leave. Just like a hedgehog, when the group gets up, the wolf cub can't speak, but when he walks, he has to show his feet. ”
"But on the third day, another group of people came from the opposite side, I saw the falling star, and I would never admit that I was mistaken, and during the battle of the valley, I followed Songchong, and that man hacked several of us to death, and I was almost hacked to death, so I remember it very clearly."
When he came, he did not immediately rush with people, but led people upstream to dig up the river. There was only a small river in the camp, and the water was cut off, so if you wanted to drink, you had to move the camp. But everyone knows that if you move, you will be seized. ”
"The method of falling stars is very powerful, and he knows that many people will die if he directly hits our military formation, so he forced us to move. I don't know what happened to Hakuba, if he does, these people will retreat, but if he can't, we will die of thirst. ”
"It didn't rain for two days, the moon got rounder and brighter, and every night there were people who disturbed me, and for two days, I knew that I couldn't wait any longer, and the horse urine was gone. I discussed with everyone that the length of the grass was pumped, thirty people would run, forty people would support the back, and if they all ran, none of them would run, and they would definitely be overtaken. ”
"No one wants to die, but isn't that what wars are all about? Whoever has his turn to die, he will die, and if it is his turn not to die, the tribe will be finished, and the city will be finished. The last one I smoked, I smoked a short grass, and I was able to live. ”
"Seventy people, sixty-eight grass, two fourteen kids didn't let them smoke. I had to smoke, slapped me twice, covered my face and cried there, in fact, I didn't hurt, I was crying about those who were grabbing the long grass. ”
"It was strange that night, maybe those people were tired and didn't bother us. My brother drew a long grass, and said nothing, but untied the pendant around his neck and let me take it back to the city, where he wanted to hang on the windmill and watch the city every day. The people followed his example, and took off the pendant, and if they didn't, they cut off some of their hair and asked me to bring it back. ”
"At that time, I thought that if the white horse succeeded, I would admire him, but I hated him, and in the future I would go to the steppe to find the river, and dig up their bones and bury them in the city. If I don't succeed, I'll stab the white horse to death, even if the city kills people to death. ”
"Seventy of us sat on the ground, sang in the middle of the night, our throats were dry for a few days, and after singing our throats were so painful and salty, my brother said that he couldn't sing, and the blood had to flow on other people's bodies, and he ate it himself. He punched me before leaving, because I had a fight with him once when I was a kid, and he remembers. ”
"We put out the fire, and all forty of them rushed out, and the other side didn't know it, thinking we were going to run. Thirty of us rushed to the other side when they were in confusion, and one of the two fourteen children died, and one was shot in the eye. After running for two days, when I finally saw the woods, there were only thirteen people left. I lay on my stomach by the creek and spit water out as soon as I stood up straight and drank. ”
"There are thirteen out of seventy, and I want to cry, but the dry tears just don't flow. I said that I had to live, that those forty people could not die in vain, that I had to bring these thirteen people back, that I could not cry, because I couldn't see the way with my eyes when I cried. ”
"At that time, the child with an arrow in the eye was no longer good, so I lied to him and said that Ji Xia would treat the disease, this injury is fine, I am not afraid of the eyes, and some women want it. You have to go back to the city, before you go out, you said that Yu Qian'er still owes you a can of wine and invite me to drink it, if you don't go back, I will ask Yu Qian'er's sister, how can I give it to me...... We carried him and walked through the woods, and we didn't know where he was, but we kept facing south. As a result, I met a few people, and it was the angry head that we killed five of the six people and caught one. As a result, when asked, he said that their tribe exchanged slaves with Yangguan, and when I thought about it, I had already killed five of them, so as not to cause trouble, and after asking the way, I would kill him too, and then I knew the way back. ”
When he had finished telling the story of thirty days, he took out forty-one pendants and hair from his bosom, placed them solemnly on the stone in the council hall, and then took out his bronze sword.
"I'll wait for the white horse to come back. It is done, I hate him but I don't kill him. If he is defeated, I will stab him to death, Si Kou Ji Song is not there, and he is not needed, I will give an explanation of the rules of the city myself. (To be continued.) )
