Chapter 57: Straight to the point
The scout rode forward until Lin Bin was five steps in front of him, and immediately scout the reins, and the war horse under the seat neighed, and the front hooves raised into the air, a majestic and heroic posture: "My lord!" ”
Lin Bin nodded and motioned for him to continue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The scout jumped off the war horse, took two steps forward, and stood up and clenched his fists: "The Qiang tribe was found five miles ahead, and besides this, there is no trace within a radius of twenty miles!" ”
The closer he got to the loop, the more cautious Lin Bin became, and each time the army sent out all the scouts in the team for vigilance and exploration. The so-called scout cavalry is a group of rangers who do not wear armor, they are simply equipped with ox tendon bows and a horizontal knife for melee combat, and their robes have been replaced with the unique fur of the steppe people, unlike the others who wear the red robes that the Han people like very well.
"How many people are there in the Qiang tribe?"
"Back to my lord! It is a small tribe of about 5,000 people, less than 2,000 people who control the strings, and most of them are women and young children! ”
"Cows, sheep, horses?"
"This ......," the detective's expression tightened, "according to the number of people, there are no less than 50,000 cattle and sheep, and tens of thousands of horses!" ”
The conversation between the two made the expressions of the knights around them become serious, and they usually asked in such detail that they wanted to do a big job, so that many knights were already checking their uniforms and weapons, and they were eager to try, and they couldn't wait to be ordered to fight immediately.
Lin Bin saw the actions of the soldiers, and laughed: "The team turns, go to ......" He pointed to a flat ground in front of the right, "camp there." Except for the foot soldiers, the knights come with me! ”
The soldiers responded to the "promise" with a bang, while the foot soldiers without horses looked decadent, and they protected the frame and advanced towards the place designated by Lin Bin.
Lin Bin was about to shout "Forward!" At the same time, Han Shuo rode a horse to catch up and blocked Lin Bin's inevitable road.
"What is this going to do, Officer Lin?" Han Shuo looked a little angry, "I don't know that this place needs to be guarded by a person with armor!" ”
Lin Bin looked at Han Shuo, seeing the anger and pleading on his face, unspeakably weird, knowing that he was worried about the princess's safety and unwilling to let him take all the cavalry, but his attitude was extremely bad. Lin Bin shouted coldly: "Get out of the way!" ”
Han said that he drove the war horse, so that the whole horse body stood sideways, and he was about to speak, but he saw Lin Bin shouting, "Drive!" ", ran straight into him, and before he could react, he was suffocated, but the whole person was knocked down by Lin Bin with a scabbard.
"Do your duty!" Lin Bin only left this sentence and led the cavalry to gallop away.
……
The war horse galloped, the sound of surging hooves, resounded in the grassland sky, the Han knight on horseback half-attached body almost close to the horse's neck, stepping on the leash legs with the rhythm of the gallop rubbing the horse's belly, their eyes in unison to look at the thick body in front of the leader with a mighty appearance, it was he who pulled himself out of the hell on earth, gave himself hope to live, and he fought hard again and again, leading everyone forward with ups and downs. Now, the grassland has been tread in the four hooves of the war horse under the seat, just like the truth recognized by everyone, if you don't fight to find a road to wealth, what face do you have to wait for the sinful body to go home!?
Lin Bin was satisfied with the murderous aura on the knights, the reason why he didn't say why he led the army out was to let the soldiers understand what a sense of crisis was, a group of soldiers without a sense of crisis, no matter how good they were, would eventually become the skeletons of the battlefield ruins, but this time he didn't want to lead the army to fight with the Qiang people, what he had to do was much more complicated than a pure fight.
After galloping, it was not until it met Koga's fifty cavalry that it stopped on a slope. Lin Bin asked the situation in detail again, and then decided to tentatively contact the Qiang tribe in front, if you want to survive in the isolated Heshuo, you must not lack friends, and what Lin Bin can do now is to try his best to find potential friends, even if the odds are meager It is much better than not fighting.
"You said the leader of the Qiang tribe wants to buy weapons and armor?"
"Exactly!"
"Oh......" Lin Bin dragged a long end of the note, "then do they want money or jewelry?" ”
In addition to the copper, iron, and cloth that have been used so far, Lin Bin has not cared much about gold and jewelry, and the property in the border is of no practical use, and it is very easy to provoke greedy people. Lin Bin would ask the Qiang people if they needed money and jewelry, obviously wanting to exchange these two things for living supplies.
"The humble thought that the Qiang people in front often had the habit of trading with the Han merchants, and in their humble opinion, the Qiang people may not want gold, but they need gorgeous jewelry."
Lin Bin thought about it for a while, here it is better to personally lead people to contact and see, and then it is not wasted, and he asked which direction the Qingqiang tribe is, and shouted again, "Drive!" "Lead the Mercedes.
Soon, the heavily armed 250 horsemen saw a camp in front of them, and they stopped three thousand meters outside the camp according to the rules of the steppe, indicating that they had no malice, and quietly waited for the Qiang people to respond.
Suddenly a trumpet sounded in the camp of the Qiang people, but no screams were heard, only the men put down their work and climbed on their horses, making an assembly; The women beckoned their children to come in, and the sight quickly changed to a posture of preparing for battle, but no one screamed or panicked.
Lin Bin's eyes narrowed when he saw it, and he knew in his heart that the leader of the Qiang people was well-led, but he saw that more than a thousand horsemen rushed out of the Qiang camp, and they were menacing. Lin Bin ordered the iron cavalry under his command to be divided into three columns, into a charging posture, prepared, he was vigilant in his heart, if the Qiang cavalry approached a thousand steps and still did not reduce the speed of the horse, he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.
The scene of more than 1,000 cavalry galloping looks very spectacular, and with the shouts and cheers of the Qiang people, it gives the illusion that this place is about to become a frontier.
"My lord, the Qiang people only came out of courtesy, as you might expect. The rangers distributed by the Qiang people have already returned to the camp, and it is not like a general fight. ”
As soon as Jia He's words were finished, the originally imposing Qiang people in front of him really slowed down their horses at a distance of 1,000 steps, and when they reached 800 paces, they were already slowly stepping on their hooves to move forward, until they were 500 steps away from the Qiang people's more than 1,000 horsemen and stood still.
Lin Bin's palm gripping the handle of the knife finally loosened, and he turned around and shouted: "Jiahe led ten horsemen to come with me, and the monarchs were on guard in place!" ”
It is still the rule of the grassland, when passing by the tribal camp, you can't get close to the warning range of the camp, that is, within three thousand meters, otherwise it will be regarded as about to violate, and if the master leads the army to greet him, the person who comes also needs to send a noble person to the front of the two armies, which is a minimum etiquette, which is common to the whole grassland. Since Lin Bin wants to gain a foothold in Heshuo, of course, he must be familiar with these seemingly complicated, but extremely simple etiquette.
The person who led the Qiang people forward this time was still Xigong Shiyu, and the others had already arrived before they arrived: "Han people, welcome you to turn back!" ”
Lin Bin motioned for Jiahe to step forward and answer, and he stayed in the rear to observe the group of Qiang cavalry five hundred paces away, and found that as Jiahe described, these Qiang people did not have too obvious hostility towards the Han people, but their eyes were fixed on the fish scale armor and weapons on their bodies, as if they were eager to have a set.
was observing carefully, but saw Jiahe riding his horse and running back, "My lord, the leader of the Qiang tribe, please come forward and talk about it!" ”
Lin Bin rode forward and hugged his fist to Shiyu of Xigong: "Passing by here, there are many disturbances, please Haihan!" ”
"Haha!" Xigong Shiyu's hearty laughter sounded very heroic, but it didn't give Lin Bin face at all, "The Han people are much more cunning than your subordinates, and the hungry (we) Dangqiang tribe likes real people, but they don't like cunning Han people." What are you doing with the cavalry? ”
Lin Bin also laughed heartily and said bluntly, "From the Han Kingdom being hunted down here, passing through here, there is not enough food and war horses, I want you to trade." ”
Xigong Shiyu's expression was stunned, and his laughter became even louder, "Okay!" Good! This is the real man. Then he looked at the horizontal knife on Lin Bin's waist and stopped talking.
Lin Bin saw that the Qiang man's eyes did not leave the horizontal knife on his waist for a moment, and his heart was clear, and he silently untied the horizontal knife, and without saying a word, he threw it at him from a distance.
Xigong Shiyu caught the horizontal knife steadily, couldn't wait to pull out the blade, flicked the tip of the knife with his fingers, made a pleasant sound, and bypassed the hair, and gently blew on the blade, and the hair was broken at the touch of the blade. He looked up at Lin Bin in a daze and said, "Good knife!" Then he raised his horizontal sword and shouted: "Welcome brothers from the Han Kingdom!" ”
"Yo hoo...... Yo hoo...... Yo hoo ......"
The Qiang knight also shouted loudly when he heard the roar of the leader full of joy......
