Chapter 102: Xiliang Iron Horse
"No way!"
As soon as Zhao Xue closed her eyes, all she saw in front of her was the scene she had seen during the day.
The Hun cavalry, who were vying all the way with them, found a spacious area on the way and camped under Anza. Originally, they passed in front of the Hun cavalry, probably if there was no next thing, Zhao Xue wouldn't have been so sleepy. However, it was with her own eyes that she saw that the woman dressed in the Han family, dressed in a black curved robe, with a waist and a long piano in her arms, was chased by the group of Hun soldiers in a panic.
Speaking of which, Zhao Xue saw it very clearly when she encountered the Hun cavalry for the first time, and there was no Han family in the Hun team, let alone a girl. However, the panicked woman who suddenly ran out of the Hun tent at that time was probably captured by this group of Huns from the halfway road. She saw this woman suddenly run out of the Hun tent, and ran out of the way for a while, and she really hoped that she could run them away in one go. However, after all, she was a weak woman, and she was tired, where could she run past the group of Hun soldiers, and she was soon chased by them. However, it was such a girl with a thin waist like a willow, after being chased by them, she did not accept her fate, but actually resisted hard, struggling desperately to the death, and made the last stubborn resistance with the Huns.
At that time, not only Zhao Xue saw the scene, but also the three or four hundred people in the team and hundreds of pairs of eyes in the entire season. In this group of people, there are those who are merciful, there are those who are sad and angry, and there are those who make jokes. However, at this time, dozens of cavalry rushed out of the Huns' tents, they drew their scimitars, brandished their spears, and scolded them angrily, and the language was not clean, but they were told to hurry up and get out of here, threatening them not to meddle in their affairs. At this moment, the recalcitrant woman finally fell, was pulled up, and dragged back, and the Hun soldiers who went with her all cheered for victory.
When Li Su saw this scene, the three or four hundred sons behind him were all furious, and they stared at this group of Huns with tears in their eyes. They clenched their weapons tightly in their palms, pouring their anger into them to vent their anger. Probably, as long as Li Su speaks, they may shout, fight with all their might, and snatch back the unfortunate Han woman.
"Go quickly!"
However, at this moment, Li Su shouted 'go quickly', and suddenly stunned the sons and daughters behind him. Li Su didn't want to fight with the Huns because of a woman, he saw that the Huns scolded loudly, and the strength of wielding the blade skyrocketed, and he was afraid that he would do it if he didn't say a word, so he simply pulled the horse and took the lead. And the soldiers behind him, they were used to listening to the general's orders, and at this time, they could not disobey the orders because of a woman, so they could only sigh in discouragement, blush, hang their heads, and obediently follow the team.
Li Su's departure made those Hun cavalry even more arrogant. They rode their horses, brandished their blades, and pushed behind Li Su and the others for a while before they stopped and went back.
Zhao Xue, she endured the fury in her heart, chased after Li Su, and wanted to persuade Li Su with reason. It's just that when Li Su heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "You probably forgot the purpose of our trip, right?" First, we relieved the soldiers and horses of the Niu Fu and other departments in Shaanxi County; Second, meeting Chen Nuo and rewarding him on behalf of the imperial court. These two things have not been completed now, and I will offend this group of Hun cavalry halfway, do you want me to go home now? Besides, if something happens to me, who will protect Chen Nuo's elderly parents at that time? ”
Li Su's words were not unreasonable, Zhao Xue lowered her eyebrows, thought about it, and immediately said, "But ......"
Before she could come out, she was immediately interrupted by Li Su and said to her: "Besides, isn't that just a little woman, let them take it, why should we be angry with the Huns for a little woman, is it worth it?" ”
"Little woman?"
Zhao Xue raised her eyebrows and glared at him angrily. In fact, when he said this, he completely forgot that Zhao Xue was also a little woman. After Li Su finished speaking, he suddenly saw Zhao Xue's opposing murderous eyes, and immediately regretted it, he took advantage of Zhao Xue's fire before he got angry, and hurriedly slipped away.
Zhao Xue finally failed to persuade Li Su to lead his troops to rescue the woman, and they finally arrived near a town before dark, rested the people and horses, set up tents, ate something and rested. However, Zhao Xuewan has been in the futon for several hours, and she doesn't know the depth of the night, and when she thinks of the scene she saw during the day, her heart trembles, and she can't fall asleep over and over. In other words, although she did not know the woman in her life, she was very sympathetic to what happened to the woman in her conscience. is also a woman, once it falls into the hands of a strange man, and it is still in the hands of the Huns who are like wolves and tigers, its tragic fate can be imagined.
If she didn't see it, it was just her, she saw all this with her own eyes, how could she ignore it? Come to think of it, if she doesn't help tonight, and sees that woman is about to be ravaged by the Huns, I'm afraid that her heart will not be at peace in this life, right? She shouted 'no' in her heart, and a small hand desperately grabbed the bedding into her palm, and a strong impulse dominated her. She wanted to get up, lifted the quilt, and let it go. However, her head was not completely carried away by that 'righteous anger' at this time. At this time, she suddenly remembered Li Su's words. Yes, it doesn't matter if they are impulsive, but if they delay the task because of this, and even affect the elderly parents of the eldest brother Chen Nuo, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?
Her heart was cold, and she lay down in pain, and righteousness and reality were fiercely fighting in her mind. She wanted to close her eyes, and then just go back to sleep, probably, tomorrow when she opened her eyes, as the team continued to move east, she couldn't see it, and it was over, right? She tried to keep her eyes closed and not to think about anything else. However, the more this happened, the more she couldn't sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she still saw a daytime scene that could not be erased.
The poor Han girl, holding a long piano in her hand, resisted the group of Huns alone with her weak body......
Zhao Xue, her mind quickly turned, thinking of the scene of infiltrating Yuan Shao's camp to assassinate Yuan Shao before, she opened her eyes. Although the more than 100 Hun soldiers are powerful, they are also human beings, and they have to sleep if they can take the opportunity to blend into their big tent and rescue the woman unconsciously......
Thinking of this, Zhao Xue suddenly straightened up and lifted the quilt. She thought in her heart that even if she missed and she died, she would definitely not affect her eldest brother's parents. Since Li Su promised to take them to see the eldest brother, what else is there to worry about? Probably, the eldest brother shouldn't object to her move, right? After all, everything she did was righteousness, and the eldest brother, isn't he the most appreciative of righteousness in his life?
Thinking of this, she smiled resolutely. Since ancient times, men have been angry, and we women are also women who don't let their eyebrows go!
She didn't hesitate any longer, secretly put on it, took out the sword in her hand, put it on, and walked out of the tent. She took two steps, then suddenly turned around again and looked at the old couple in the night. This old couple is Chen Nuo's parents, sleeping in the same tent with her, and they have completely fallen asleep at this moment. She hesitantly glanced at them, thinking of Chen Nuo, her heart was sweet, and she suddenly turned around and came out. Outside the tent, there were many tents, and soldiers patrolled back and forth at night. She didn't want to alarm the others, so she quietly touched outside under the cover of night.
The place where they rest is a tent, and the outside of the tent is blocked by baggage carts and other objects in the outermost part of the tent, which is regarded as a wooden fence to play a protective role. She walked all the way, silently. It's just that there are night patrolmen and they are guarding the 'gate of the Yuan', and it is not easy for her to go out of the 'gate of the Yuan', so naturally the horses cannot be taken away, so they can only turn out from other places. She thought a little in her heart, they were about six or seven miles away from the Huns' station, and they should be able to walk there in half an hour, and it didn't matter if there were horses or not.
Only she just came out, and she immediately froze. There was a dense forest in front of it, and in the dense forest, it was silent. However, with her acumen, she immediately sensed something from the silent jungle. She could feel that there were probably no less than twenty or thirty people in ambush in the dense forest ahead, and there were horses. Although they were well hidden, the horses must have had a holster on their mouths, and their hooves were probably wrapped in cloth, even if they were twigs in their mouths. However, when she got closer, with Zhao Xue's acuity, she could even feel the slightest breath in the silence and the sound of the horse's tail sweeping the air.
She was shocked, could it be that the group of Huns touched it? There are twenty or thirty people here, so are there people in other places who are also hidden? If so, are they waiting for the dead of night to rush out and prepare to kick the camp? Thinking of this, Zhao Xue was shocked, and at the same time, she was glad that their conspiracy was inadvertently broken by her. Her footsteps immediately stopped, and she thought about turning around immediately to inform Li Su and his party in the 'village'.
However, the sound of her light footsteps suddenly stopped, and after the sudden silence, the dense forest also reacted. At this time, I saw a flash in the dense forest, and a burly man flashed. The burly man's bright armor, shiny knife, the back of the knife flashed, and the knife light was printed on Zhao Xue's face. Zhao Xue secretly exclaimed in her heart, it seemed that it was too late to escape. So, let's fight!
Zhao Xue raised her eyebrows, ready to reach out and draw her sword. However, the sword-wielding man had already stepped forward and asked, "Zhao Xue?" ”
"Huh?"
The sound is so familiar, is it...... Instinctively, she answered. got a response, and the man in front of him snorted lightly: "Sure enough, I didn't mistake you, you really came out, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time!" This old man made Zhao Xue's heart feel relieved: "It's General Pang!" ”
The big man on the other side hummed, which was considered to be an acknowledgement. And Zhao Xue immediately stepped forward and carefully glanced at the person in front of him. Although the light was not sufficient because of the dark sky, it was enough to see the other party's face clearly at close range, and it was Pound. When Zhao Xue saw this time, she frowned slightly, and said, "I heard that General Pang is unwilling to rest in the same place as Li Su, so he deliberately lives in the town. I just didn't expect you to appear here at this time, General Pang. But what did General Pang say just now, what have you been waiting for me for a long time, what's going on? ”
Pang De said loudly: "What happened during the day today, I think you are deeply resentful of it, girl, right?" Even if I didn't ask, I probably knew that you wouldn't give up easily, girl, and would sneak out in the middle of the night to do such a dangerous act. And I, since I promised my young lady to escort the girl, how can I let you put yourself in danger? ”
Zhao Xue's heart tightened: "In this way, General Pang, are you trying to stop me from acting?" ”
Pang De lifted his beard and laughed: "I think that when the old man accompanied my lord to the north of the desert and killed Qianghu, I was invincible with tens of thousands of iron horses in Xiliang, when was I afraid of others?" Hmph, the little Hun dog generation dares to look like a dog under the nose of the old man today, and bully my Han family's children, even if you don't say it, the old man also wants to give them a little color to see, and let them know that I am a great Xiliang iron rider! Of course, although the people who came with the old man today were only thirty horsemen, how could some Hun old men take it seriously......
Zhao Xue heard him say this, and she also understood what he meant. Originally, she was afraid that she would not take care of her when she went alone, but if she could get the help of Pound's thirty horsemen, the chances of victory would be even greater. At this time, she only wanted to rescue the Han girl, where did she have the strength to listen to him continue to speak generously, she hurriedly hugged her fists and said to him: "Since we have the same hatred for the Huns, then it is easy to say, let's go together to destroy the majesty of the Huns and rescue the poor sister." ”
As soon as Zhao Xue finished speaking, he immediately rushed forward, just thinking of something, he was stunned, and turned around and asked, "By the way, how many horses do you have?" ”
Although there were only thirty horsemen with Pound, after all, the distance was far away, and it was impossible to bring more horses with him. Pound De heard what Zhao Xue said, and then nodded and said: "Originally, I prepared one horse for one person, but I thought that it might be inconvenient for the girl to come out with a horse, so I naturally prepared an extra horse for the girl." Pang De said, and with a high-five, the people behind the forest flashed out, and one of them led a horse and handed it to Zhao Xue. Zhao Xue took the horse away, and then turned over and got on the horse.
"Drive!"
Once you ride a horse, the distance of seven or eight miles is not a distance, it is there in a blink of an eye. Of course, in order to have the effect of a surprise attack, they naturally couldn't expose the sound prematurely, fall off the horse far away, and then put the horse cover on the horse's mouth, and the horse's hooves were also wrapped in cloth, that is, those soldiers put branches in their mouths again, and carefully led the horses to secretly touch the Hun camp. Zhao Xue was in front at this time, glanced at Pound, and had to admire Pound's alertness. Come to think of it, he first asked everyone to rank and horses, probably because he was afraid that because he was too close to their tent, he would alarm Li Su's people, right? And now, these things are ready-made and easy to use.
Before the people arrived, they were surprised by the sound of the piano.
Its sound is lingering and ringing. First there was a burst of high-pitched, then flat sand and geese, whirling and dancing, and suddenly sluggish. Even if people who don't understand vocal music hear it, it is probably not difficult to hear the meaning of grievance from it. It seems that its meaning of grievance is like a human voice, in the dim night, telling people the sorrow in the bottom of their hearts, like the pathos of death, which makes people break their hearts. Except for Zhao Xue, these people are a group of old men, they are usually used to killing, so they naturally don't understand the 'crying' in the voice, and they can't hear the heart-wrenching feeling, but with the night breeze, it can also make people feel a sense of sadness. And Zhao Xue, although she doesn't like red clothes and arms in her bones, but she has also been influenced by music and can still understand some rhythms.
Bang Bang ......
Suddenly there was the sound of swords and gunfire in the Huns' tent, and some people shouted loudly, looking very impatient and angry. Zhao Xue hurriedly cleaned up her mood, looked up, and saw that the fire was shining in a tent in the middle of the distance, and it was revealed that there were three or five thick strong men in the tent, who were revolving around a woman sitting on the ground holding the piano on her knees. Although it was impossible to discern what they were saying from their language for a moment, it was not difficult to tell from the figures illuminated by the lights in the tent that the anger of these people was brought out by their gestures. Probably, they were also so angry with the woman who played the piano that they danced.
Think about it, this is the middle of the night, they are sleeping and falling asleep, and they are suddenly awakened by such a sudden excitement and then mournful sound of the piano, can they be in a good mood? I'm afraid that they are so crazy at this time that they even have the heart to kill, right? Although their group of people was angry, however, in addition to scolding them with knives and guns to scare, they actually didn't fold, only to see a bunch of people around the Han girl kept turning.
The daughter of the Han family is constantly playing the piano, standing still, and she has a feeling of being depressed.
"What a spirit!"
Zheng Zheng Zheng ...... The sound is harsh, but it is high mountains and flowing water, deep in the dense forest, and there are other villages.
When Pound heard this, he shook his head, it seems that there is no need for them to continue to hide and hide, and if they don't rush to kill, they are afraid that all the Huns will be angered by this sound of the piano and wake up. That's it, since these people are attracted by this piano sound, this is a rare opportunity to make a move. He pressed the big knife and explained to Zhao Xue, then turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Get on the horse, attack!" ”
At his command, thirty horsemen, like the wind, spit out the wooden pieces in their mouths, went to the horse trap, and put the horse on the horse, and the whole action was done in one go, without any mud and water. However, in an instant, the thirty horsemen were ready to go, and at the moment when Pound raised his knife, they rushed out with a bang.
"Boom!"
Zhao Xue was hit by the sword in his waist, pulled it out, raised it, shouted through his throat, and rolled away.
Zheng Zheng Zheng
Xiliang Iron Ride, dispatched!
