"I am Du Xun of the third team of the White Tiger School's right Qu Dingtun, and I am ordered to greet the envoy of Wusun...... Huhu, there is the Wusun envoy over there, and there are hundreds of Kangju chasing soldiers behind us......"

Before Du Xun finished speaking, the baggage team was suddenly in chaos. Not only because of the terrible message he brought, but more importantly, the sound of the rumbling hooves was clearly audible......

"Who is the commander of the baggage team?" Du Xun's roar was almost drowned in the chaotic noise.

A knight of the Han army rushed to ride: "It's me, the seventh team of the Zuoqu Yitun School of the Duhufu Yangwei School is Gao Zhen." ”

"Gao team rate, command your people, encircle the chariot formation, and I will lead a group of men and horses to sweep the formation for you."

"Okay." Gao Zhen is also a veteran soldier, so he was simply decisive, got a bag of horse material from behind the saddle, and threw it to Du Xun. The sergeants behind him also took off their horse feed bags.

Du Xun and his subordinates raised their hands to take the horse feed bag, urging the tired and wet war horse to gallop towards a high slope a hundred paces to the north.

At this time, the baggage caravan was in disarray, and many herdsmen fled with cattle and sheep to seize the road, and for a while they could not close the grain carts into a car formation.

Du Xun had already ridden up the hillside, and when he saw this situation, he immediately hit his horse and galloped, shouting as he galloped: "Don't panic, everyone, the camp is less than fifty miles away, as long as we hold on to one ...... No, in half an hour, reinforcements will arrive. If you break away from the party and flee alone, the Kangju people will soon catch up with you, kill you, and take away your cattle, horses, and goods......"

Du Xun's words finally made everyone gradually quiet down and be able to listen to the command.

The first rider, the second, and the third appear on the mountain beam...... When more and more Kangju cavalry appeared, what they saw was such a scene: on the vast grassland, grain carts of different sizes surrounded an irregular arc, and the two wings of this arc were still slowly getting longer, bent and rounder......

Outside the grain cart, there was a row of simple horses, and inside the grain cart, it was crowded with one or two hundred people and the same number of horses and camels. More cattle, alpacas and horses had to be abandoned in the surrounding hillside wilderness because the cart array could not accommodate them.

The Kangju cavalry gathered more and more, except for a team of about fifty horsemen who rushed to chase Wusun to attack Hu Jun, most of the men and horses stopped, staring at the baggage below.

With a long horn sounding, the Kangju cavalry on the top of the mountain suddenly split a gap, and a group of knights gathered around a banner embroidered with strange patterns imprinted in everyone's eyes.

"Oh my God! It's the 'Broken Wrist' Inu Poison, and now we're dead! ”

"No, it won't die, it's just that it will break ...... hand"

"Bastard! If you dare to joke at this time, Qi Lianshen will definitely punish you! ”

As soon as this strangely patterned flag came out, it immediately caused the slightly calmer baggage team to panic again.

On the hillside, Du Xun and his sergeant Yishi were loosening the saddle of their horses, and then took out black beans mixed with wheat bran from the horse feed bag, fed the war horses, and stored horsepower.

Looking at the strange flag on the mountain beam that seemed to be black paw prints, Du Xun asked Xi Nu in confusion: "What kind of flag is that?" Why did the shepherds who carried the baggage panic when they saw this? ”

Xi Nu stared straight at the banner, and his facial muscles twitched slightly: "'Broken wrist' Yinu is poisonous." ”

"Broken wrist?" Du Xun and the sergeants widened their eyes together, "The black pattern on the flag is the wrist?" ”

"Yes. To be exact, it's a bear's paw. Inu poison once killed a black bear by himself, so he used this pattern to proclaim his prowess. ”

Du Xun pulled his beard and heaved: "Lao Tzu has only killed wild boars, but bears have not been killed, and I don't know which one is more powerful...... What position does he hold in Kangju? ”

"He's the captain of Kangjuzuo, and he's an executioner." Xi Nu's knuckles on the knuckles of the bow knuckle turned white from overexertion, and his lips trembled slightly, "His greatest hobby is to cut off the palms of prisoners of war and slaves, and watch them die or cripple in pain......

Du Xun looked at him sympathetically: "There must be a lot of Wusun people who have been cut off by him." ”

"Yes, my nephew is one of them."

Du Xun and the sergeants were speechless.

At this time, on the top of the mountain beam, under the bear's paw flag, a general riding a black war horse, wearing a brown cloak, covered with leather armor, with a short mustache on his chin, and gloomy eyes, was staring coldly at the baggage team. The man had an unforgettable face, not because he was too handsome or ugly, but because he had three distinct scars on the left side of his face that stretched from the corners of his eyes to the base of his ears.

"I think most of you recognize me, I'm Inu Poison." The man's voice was shrill and as unpleasant as the breaking of a high note, "The one who breaks the wrist, the inu poison." ”

The crowd roared and became even more chaotic.

"You have two choices: either cut off your wrists yourself, or I'll cut them for you." Inu Poison pulled out his scimitar, and the faint sun reflected the blade, faintly seeing blood.

Hearing this threatening shout, Du Xun was not surprised but rejoiced: "This guy thinks he will eat us, but he made a mistake, this is forcing everyone to do it with him." ”

Sure enough, hearing such cruel words, the panicked crowd gradually quieted down, and a high-pitched roar resounded through the car formation: "You all heard it, the result of not resisting is death, at least crippled." Fight back, there is a way to live. Hold on for half an hour, and the Kangju people will run away like dogs! ”

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Few of the grassland herdsmen are good at stubble, and when they were forced by the Kangju people, they all became angry and drew their swords and bows.

Du Xun grinned: "This old man has two hits." Okay, let's go. ”

The car formation was finally completed, and Du Xun also had to enter the formation before the Kangju people acted, and joined forces with Gao Zhen. In terms of tactics, there is a cavalry on the outside of the chariot formation, which can act as horns for each other, contain the enemy, and make it impossible for the besieging enemy to let go of his hands and feet to attack. However, there must be a premise for this, that is, the number of this cavalry must be of a certain size, at least not so small that the enemy can swallow it in one bite.

Du Xun has too few people, and it is difficult to contain the Kangju people, on the contrary, it is easy to be divided by the Kangju people, divided and annihilated. So, they had to join forces.

Almost at the same time, the Kangju people also moved. They divided half of the men and gathered together the cattle, sheep and horses scattered in the field. Then they divided into hundreds of horsemen, drove hundreds of livestock, as well as grain carts that the Han army had not had time to collect, and headed north.

The Kangju people had about four or five hundred horsemen, and when they divided their troops to hunt cattle and sheep, the number of men and horses surrounding the chariot array was actually about the same as the number of the Han army's baggage team that was surrounded, but Du Xun and Gao Zhen did not dare to take advantage of the situation to attack. The reason is very simple, the other party is a warrior with full armor, and most of them are ordinary herdsmen, and many people still use bone arrows and ruler knives, whether it is weapons or combat awareness, they are far inferior. Holding on to the reinforcements is still barely combatable, and I am afraid that as soon as I rush out of the car formation, before I can fight the enemy, my own horses will all disperse.

The Kangju people also wanted them to do this, and deliberately divided their troops to lure them. However, Du Xun and Gao Zhen are both veterans, and they have a lot of dealings with the Hu people, so naturally they will not be easily recruited.

The cattle and sheep that dotted the mountains had been emptied, and all that was left of the field was a "besieged city" the size of a football field and a panicked crowd in it.

Only then did the broken voice sound again: "We just came from Chigu City, and we robbed a lot of cattle and sheep, as well as slaves, and the Wusun people paid the price for their disobedience to Da Shan Yu's orders. Now it's your turn, just now I received your 'contribution' of cattle and sheep, and I am a slave. Give me a hundred slaves and a hundred wagons of grain, and I will depart. Otherwise, I will snatch all the grain and kill you before your so-called reinforcements arrive! ”

Du Xun's rough voice sounded in the car array: "Inu poison, there is a kind of you come here, we will duel according to the rules of the grassland." Wrestling, archery, and cavalry battles, the choice is yours. If you win, it's all for you; I won, you fuck off. How is it? To dare or not to dare? ”

Inu grinned his teeth, revealing his dark red flesh, and pointed his scimitar forward: "Kill!" ”
