Chapter 46: The Death of a Hero
"The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info savannah, frankincense..."Burhan, who was moved, suddenly realized that this was an advertising slogan, so he stopped. But Naoyan Zhu Dan listened with relish, and when she saw Burhan stopping, she asked, "What's wrong?" That's a good point, the prairie is so beautiful? "Yes! Burhan and Naoyan Zhu Dan looked at the grassland in the distance, the endless grassland, and the flock of sheep like clouds, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
One of Yiruohu's dowries is this carriage, although it is "simple" compared to the four-wheeled carriage of the Chiti Department, but fortunately it is suitable for the girl's family. Burhan acted as a coachman for Naoyan Zhu Dan and talked to her, otherwise she would have thought of her tribe and family and suddenly cried, what would she do?
After three days of travel, in order to be able to return to the Hechi Ti Department as soon as possible, Naoyan Zhu Dan was also forced to give up the carriage and ride a war horse instead, and the Mongolian girl could not only sit in the carriage. It is also Naoyan Zhu Dan who is squeamish and has to ride the same horse with Burhan, and it is no wonder that the two are still in the honeymoon period just after the wedding.
Suddenly, there were a few wolf howls in the distance, which frightened Naoyan Zhu Dan and drilled into Burhan's arms. Perhaps to others, these were just a few ordinary wolf howls, but in the face of the experienced Alert, this sound was anything but normal. Burhan had already sensed that something was wrong, which reminded him of Haslon's words a few days ago. It seems that it is not easy to go back! At the same time, he secretly blamed Haslon's actions for this.
He put Naoyan Zhu Dan down, "You change a horse first, I'll take a look at the front." At the same time, he recruited a guard to lead a horse over, and Naoyan Zhu Dan grabbed Burhan's hand for a long time. Burhan couldn't, so he could only comfort her, "I'll go for a while, it'll be fine, you have to pay attention to protect yourself, you know?" He casually stuffed his beloved wolf-headed knife into Zhu Dan's arms, and then urged the horse to run forward.
When Burhan arrived, he found that things were more serious than he had imagined. A ranger was lying in front covered in blood, and Alett and Urizhao were also present, as well as the nobles who had come this time, and the forward troops had begun to shrink their defenses. Burhan dismounted and asked his father, "Abba, how is the situation?" ”
Seeing Burhan coming, Alert's heart became even heavier. He didn't want to alarm Burhan, but it didn't seem to work. He thought of Zaduro, who was still recuperating, and Yang Caini at home, and he had an intuition to tell him that this time it was dangerous. He really didn't want Burhan to get hurt, and even though he had proven himself to be a good fighter, as a father he still didn't want his son to go to war, because anything could happen on the battlefield.
"Coming? The situation is not encouraging. He sat down quietly, as if he didn't care about the coming big war, but in fact he was beating a drum inside, maybe this time it would be over. Unlike the usual enemies, this time they did not show their faces, but only shot the rangers and did not press on us. The soldiers on both sides quietly gathered their men and horses, trying to make everyone form a circle. The perennial military training has produced a large number of warriors in the Hechi Ti Division, who know that as long as the war is not coming, they need to retain and replenish their strength, so many people have taken a break while carrying out their duties, some have eaten some snacks, and some have wiped their scimitars, all of which show that people have expected a great war to come.
Burhan sat down and worked with Alert to study how to deal with it, after all, the enemy had not yet appeared, and he did not know the number of people and equipment, which required several sets of plans to be prepared in case of emergency.
Burhan studied the surrounding terrain and had to say that this was really a good place for an ambush, surrounded by small hills, although not big, but well obscured the view. From the perspective of the big picture, it is very conducive to attacking, the terrain is very suitable for cavalry charges, and no matter where you stand, it will not form a commanding height.
Just when Burhan was studying the strategy, Naoyan Zhu Dan's slave girl came to him and said that the young lady called him. Burhan had no choice but to confess his sins to the crowd and leave.
"Tell me, Burhan, is there going to be a war?" Looking at Naoyan, who was a little frightened, Zhu Dan Burhan stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, just like he did to Ku Yan back then. Originally, the political marriage of the two would not have produced such love as Suan! At this time, he felt that the little woman in his arms needed a man's great love to care, and she was too vulnerable. Patting his beloved wife's hand, Bulhan said, "It's okay, it's just a few horse thieves, and it will soon be calm." It's probably going to be the night here, so you have to watch yourself. At the same time, he draped the big hat over his beloved wife's body and tied a knot with her.
Naoyan Zhu Dan, who was still trembling, did not calm down because of Burhan's comfort, but seemed much stronger than just now. She clenched the knife with both hands and said, "My little man, it is the happiness of my life to be able to marry you." I've got enough, you can kill as many enemies as you like, and if the enemy comes up, I won't let them get a complete me. "Looking at this little woman, Burhan didn't know what to say, but he was strengthened by the encouraging look in her eyes, and he wanted to live, not only for himself, but also for the women who cared for him, for Mongolia.
Woo~... Woo~... Two melodious trumpets interrupted Burhan's musings, and he reluctantly threw away his wife's hand and came to the "headquarters", where people were already showing their heads in the distance, and they were slowly pressing towards the circle of the Hechi Ti tribe in a neat formation, and the huge pressure was approaching from all sides, and the original intention of occupying a high ground was no longer realistic.
"Abba, let's break through! Hurry up and break out while they haven't closed the siege yet. "Burkand has realized that once the enemy is encircled, they will never have a chance. But Alett didn't want that, saying, "I need to see who it is and if it's possible not to fight this pointless fight." After saying that, he got on his horse and hurried to the front, and Wu Rizhao went with Alert, accompanied only by about 50 personal soldiers.
Burhan sighed in his heart: Abba still hasn't seen it! This is clearly to rob relatives, and it is likely to be Haslon's gang. From these neat queues, it is not difficult to see that they are by no means horse thieves, but more like the personal soldiers of the nobles.
Alert went to "go to the meeting", and Burhan could not help but prepare in advance, he called the captain of his own army, Grimjo, and said to him: "You immediately order 200 men to go to the reinforcement leader, and as soon as the other party attacks, go to reinforce immediately." Grimjo immediately went to carry out Burhan's orders. At the same time, Burhan also arranged Naoyan, Zhu Dan and their escape routes.
At the front, Alert and Wu Rizhao went to the enemy's main formation, and Wu Rizhao shouted "Hey! Friends ask your leader to come out and speak. "Negotiation is the most common thing on the grasslands, and almost anything but deep hatred can be resolved through negotiation, as long as you can pay a sufficient price.
The other party did not agree, and came up with an arrow that hit one of the guards next to Arlet, and it was clear that they did not need to negotiate, and the soldier fell off his horse, blood dripping from his mouth. The arrow was coming towards Allet, and when he saw that it did not hit Allet, Todo was a little disappointed, and then he waved his hand, only to see countless knights swooping down from the hillside, covering Allet's side.
"Leader Alert, the prince of Burhan is right, we should break through as soon as possible, they seem to want our lives." Wu Rizhao urged the horse to gallop while suggesting to Alert. At this time, fortunately, Burhan had already arranged, Grimjo attacked the enemy striker from the flank, and strangled with them, so as not to give the other party a chance to shoot on horse, otherwise it would not be easy for Alert and them to get rid of it.
Standing on a high place, Burhan saw everything that was happening clearly. He immediately brought 50 men to meet Alet.
"Abba, I'm bringing someone to help Grimjo. You and Uncle Wu Rizhao go first, and I have arranged for the breakthrough from the west to divide into two groups. "I really hope that my father will listen to him this time, as for himself! He was confident that he would take care of himself.
However, no matter what Burhan said, Alert was stubborn, and he wanted Burhan to break through first, otherwise he would not leave. While the two fathers and sons were arguing, an arrow of sin crept in. Hearing the sound like a pebble hitting a canvas, Alert leaned forward, his eyes wide and he slowly fell back on his horse. Burhan looked at his father like this, and he was stunned. A sharp arrow hit Alett in the back of the heart. Wu Rizhao was much more mature than Burhan, and he had seen a lot of things on the battlefield, and although he was also very shocked, he didn't have time to do too many boring actions at this time. He first straightened Alert's body, then removed the extra arrows with the knife he carried, and then said to Burhan, "You lead people to break through quickly, bring more horses, and go directly back to Blackwater City." Seeing that Burhan was a little indifferent, he said angrily, "Your Abba is already like this, do you want me to die in the same way in the middle of the argument?" ”
Wu Rizhao's words deeply stimulated Burhan, this is all to blame for his own badness, why let Abba's back be exposed to the enemy? Burhan finally made the right choice, and he took only 50 men to escort Alett and his wife from the battlefield.
Shooting Allett was an unexpected bonus, and Todo was happy about it! Suddenly found that the little beast seemed to be fleeing, and he immediately organized men and horses to surround Burhan and the others. How could the soldiers of the Hechiti tribe let them get their wish? Burhan is the future of their tribe, and they all have to defend it to the death. First, more than 100 people broke through the encirclement, and then the gap was widened, opening the door for Burhan and the others, so that they could rush out as quickly as possible.
Burhan was the last to leave the gap, and suddenly he heard the sound of sharp arrows whistling, and when he turned sideways, he saw that it was a three-edged arrow peculiar to the Hechi Ti Division, and he reached out and grabbed it and landed in his hand. Burhan looked back and saw that Wu Rizhao was collecting his bow, and he said loudly to Burhan, "Burhan! Go back and tell him that Abba can't bless her anymore, and you will take care of her for the rest of her life! If you dare to live up to the sudden, I will not let you go even in the Immortal Heaven. ”
Burhan didn't promise him anything, just a look of affirmation. It was such a look that made him extremely excited, and he immediately rejoined the battle group. Although the number of Hechiti troops is small, they are all brave, far from being comparable to these herdsmen who make temporary cameos, and gradually the enemy soldiers who are pursuing Burhan and others are getting fewer and fewer.
After a few changes to horses, there was hope. It is about to enter the sphere of influence of the Hechiti tribe, and the rangers of the Hechiti tribe are usually spread out for hundreds of miles, as long as they reach the pasture of the Hechiti tribe, it means safety.
In order to confuse the enemy, Burhan divided his 50 men into two groups, one group continued to rush to Ejina with him, while the other group went to Zi Nao to report and tell General Kali to take precautions.
After two days of galloping, in the evening Burhan finally saw the appearance of Blackwater. Some of the rangers had already returned to report the news, so the gates were opened, and restrictions were put in place on both sides of the streets. Burhan rode his horse at no reduced speed and headed straight for the tallest building in the city. Old Doctor Song was already waiting at the door. As soon as he got off the horse, Burhan picked up Alet's nearly 200-pound body and trotted all the way and put it on the bed.
Grandma and two younger brothers also guarded the bedside as soon as possible, and after a while, Old Doctor Song came out. Many nobles scrambled to inquire about Alert's injury, and Mr. Song wiped his hands with a towel and shook his head helplessly. "It's late! After the arrow, the posture was not right, the breathing was not smooth, and the two days of running around and galloping shocked the internal organs, although the old man tried his best, he was unable to return to the sky, and he could only use the Nine Needles to make the leader conscious for half an hour, if there was anything important, it would be early..."The old doctor said so, and Bulhan, who heard all this, suddenly collapsed to the ground, all of which was blamed on him, and he slapped himself desperately. The guilt in my heart needs to be released.
"Burhan, your Abba wants to see you." The little lady Lin went out and called Burhan into the house, and the nobles gave the last half hour to Alet's family very wisely, they were just silently guarding, and the old people in the tribe began to pray to the immortal heaven, hoping that a miracle would come.
Burhan looked at Alet lying on the bed, his face glowing with glory, probably because of the effect of returning to the light! Burhan could not contain his feelings, and suddenly threw himself into Alert's arms and wept bitterly.
Seeing my brother crying, so did my two younger brothers. Grandma's crying red and swollen eyes were filled with tears again, and Alette took them into his arms and said, "Burhan, you have become married, and you are a big man." Abba has been summoned to meet your Ebug. Don't cry good boy, don't cry. There is a saying among the Han people that men don't flick when they have tears, put away your tears. Alert comforted his wife and children, he didn't want his relatives to grieve by dying.
Alett was still weak, but he forced his body to sit up, stroking the children, he needed to explain what had happened to him. "Burhan, Monlik, Zaduro, come here!" From his father's tone, several people understood that he was holding on. The children were very well-behaved and leaned their little heads on their father's arms.
"I know I don't have much time left, you have to listen to my brother, you know?" Both Monlik and Zaduro nodded, tears streaming down their faces. "Burhan, from now on you will be the eldest man in the family, and I hope that you can be a good family and a good family of the tribe. Be strong, don't learn Abba, be strong all your life, but in the end you are indecisive, okay, you guys go out, let me talk to your grandma! ”
Burhan also knows that Abba and Aunt's feelings are very deep, and Grandma's body is weak and she can't withstand such a blow, so her father wants to comfort her, right? Burhan led his brothers out of the house and outside. Immediately there were nobles who came up, and Burhan didn't think about anything now, just sat quietly alone.
I don't know how long it took, but Burhan suddenly heard the four lung-splitting howls of his mother in the house, and he didn't care too much, so he ran in one breath, but he found his father Allet, who quietly closed his eyes, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth! Just such a god-like man followed the immortal heaven, a pillar in Burhan's heart collapsed, he couldn't stand it, his body was shaking, fortunately there was Uliji to support him, and then the three brothers hugged each other and cried. Yang Caini cried for a while, took out the arrow behind Alet, handed it to Burhan, and said, "Burhan, you remember, you have to find him for me at any time, kill him to honor your father." Everyone in the audience felt a chill in their hearts, emanating from this Han woman, and Bourhan knelt down and respectfully took the vicious arrow that buried his father, and swore to the great immortal heaven that he would make the enemy pay for his blood debt!
