Chapter 344: Put away all the softness of heart

"General"

Qing Kite looked at Li Xian and shouted, she and Huang Luan have been used to this title since this time. From the lieutenant to the general, how much has changed in psychology during this period, or there has not changed at all, maybe only the two of them know, but the two of them have experienced too many things, so naturally they will not easily say what they think in their hearts.

Li Xian leaned on the big black horse and seemed a little bored, and when he heard the green kite call him back, he asked what was the matter. Since taking a shortcut into Yanshan, it is impossible for Li Xian to think about it in the carriage, fortunately, the secret spies sent out before have found a way early, otherwise the cavalry of the brigade can only take a detour through the mountain pass to get out of the pass.

"What's the matter?"

Li Xian asked.

After a few years, Li Xian will inevitably feel a little emotional when he returns to the grassland again. After walking for two days, the team turned out of the mountain, and the terrain was already much flatter at this time, and it didn't take long to get out of the mountain.

"Why are we walking so slowly?"

The green kite thought about it, and still asked very seriously. This question has existed in her heart for a long time, and she can't help it until she reaches the grassland. Hearing her ask, Huang Luan also came over, waiting for Li Xian's answer with his ears sideways.

Li Xian looked at the solemn and serious expression of the green kite, and couldn't help laughing.

"Look at you like this, it seems that you have been curious for more than a day or two? Then why did you get out of Yanshan and ask me quickly? If you hold it for so long, won't you feel uncomfortable? ”

"I'm just a retinue"

The green kite muttered.

Li Xian frowned slightly and said, "Wen Yao's habits? Nature should tell you, and you should not know and not ask? ”

Qing Kite and Huang Luan nodded slowly, and said to Li Xian that the text was nonsense and a little uncomfortable.

Li Xian snorted, looked at the two of them and said very seriously: "You don't have to abide by this kind of rotten rules in the future, if you are curious, just ask me directly, why do you need to hold back so uncomfortable in your heart?" If you ask, I'll tell you. If I can't tell you, I'll assume you didn't ask. ”

Qing Kite and Huang Luan were stunned, and their faces became a little embarrassed.

Li Xian laughed and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, the reason why I walk slowly is because I have injuries on my body and I am naturally going to kill people when I enter the grassland, and the injuries on my body will not be too refreshing to kill people." Since thousands of roads have come, if I can't kill it happily, wouldn't I regret it? ”

Although the tone is light, the murderous atmosphere is awe-inspiring.

Qing Kite and Huang Luan were slightly shocked in their hearts, and they both heard a strong smell of blood from Li Xian's indifferent words. They couldn't imagine that this gentle-looking and indifferent teenager had a little anger and a little violence hidden under his expression. Every time the grassland goes south, which time is not a bloody storm? Since Li Xian led the army thousands of miles away, he would definitely not go back easily. The sins created by the grassland people themselves will still have to be repaid after all.

After saying this, Li Xian fell silent, although his expression didn't seem to change, but both Qing Kite and Huang Luan could feel that that a wisp of murderous aura was quietly released when they were about to leave Yan Mountain.

The team walked for another hour, and the pioneer Pei Xingyan had already led five hundred elite horsemen out of the mountain. After a short time, the scout reported the news, Li Xian nodded, and then urged the people to speed up. When they arrived at the place out of the mountain, there were hundreds of black-clothed men standing there on horseback waiting on the side of the road, all of whom were the five secret spies of the Flying Tiger sent by Li Xian to explore the road before. In the middle of those big men, there was a crowd, smiling and waiting for Li Xian's arrival.

Look at the face of the country and the people, who else can it be besides Ye Huaichong.

"It's a few days slower than expected."

Ye Huai urged her to step forward and walk side by side with Li Xian, she glanced back at Huang Luan with an iron gun on her back and a green kite with a broken iron umbrella on her back, and smiled: "It turned out to be a beauty on the side, no wonder." ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "It smells so sour." ”

Ye Huaisleeve smiled lightly, raised his hand and combed the hair that was blown by the mountain wind and said: "Fifty miles ahead, there is a tribe of Xi people, I asked the secret spy to sneak over to see, the scale of the tribe is not small, it is estimated that there are about five thousand people, of which there are no more than eight hundred warriors who can fight. ”

Li Xian stretched his waist comfortably, and then said three words in a very indifferent tone.

"Slaughtered"

The war between Suotou Xi and the Khitans lasted a year and a half, and in the end the Xi people had some advantages. The Khitan Eight Divisions are not united, and the He Da He Department who was attacked by the Xi people is isolated, and it is not easy to bear this war, and later the instigator of this war, Ashina went to Hu because of the order of Shibi Khan, and personally came here to adjust, and the war between the two sides finally came to an end, but in this battle, Xi and Khitan He Da He Department have suffered a lot of losses, and Ashina's plan to go to Hu has also succeeded.

This tribe moved back after the war, and the warriors of the tribe all went to Yanmen Pass with Eliver of Great Egypt. It is said that the emperor of the Central Plains has been trapped, and it will not be long before he can be captured alive. When the news reached the tribe, it immediately caused a round of jubilation.

The grassland people go south every year to fight the grass valley, but they are only a small fight, and they dare not be too arrogant, after all, there is a fierce tiger entrenched in Youzhou, and no one dares to provoke it easily.

But this time was different, the Turkic Great Khan personally led his army south, not only invaded the territory of the Great Sui in one fell swoop, but also trapped the emperor of the Central Plains in a lonely city. This is a shame that the Great Sui has never had so far, in other words, it is also a rare time for the grassland people to raise their eyebrows since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty.

At dusk, the men who went out to shepherd the sheep in the tribe gradually returned, and the large herds of sheep returned to their enclosures in an orderly manner. The woman had already prepared dinner and waited for her husband to return, and the children danced around their father.

The wife welcomed her husband home like a warrior welcoming him back, and the tent was already prepared with hot tea and fragrant finger meat.

On a high slope, an old herdsman looked at the sky to the south in a daze. I don't know if I'm worried about the son of the expedition, or if I'm waiting for my flock to return.

A grassland woman whispered to him and invited the old herdsman back to eat.

The old man stood up with a smile and muttered that he didn't know where he was now, and whether he would be able to bring back hordes of slaves and untold wealth when he returned. He smiled and said to his daughter-in-law that he had also gone on an expedition to the south and had seen the prosperity of the Central Plains. To the south of the Great Wall, there are endless crops, dizzying cities, countless treasures, and mountains of grain.

The prairie woman smiled and said that her husband would surely return with glory.

The old man smiled, but there was some worry between his eyebrows.

The empire called the Great Sui, although I heard that there have been rebellions everywhere in the past few years, this old man who has experienced the southern expedition knows that it is a fierce tiger. If one is not careful, the hunter who fights the tiger will be swallowed by the tiger in one bite. When he was still young, he once followed the Turkic Great Khan on an expedition, and the 400,000 army was killed by the 2,000 elite cavalry of the Great Sui and lost the courage to continue to go south, and retreated back in disgrace.

At this time, the prairie woman was suddenly stunned, then raised her hand to the south and asked, "What is that?" ”

The old herdsman followed the woman's direction and looked back, and saw an earthy yellow wave rushing towards him. He had never seen the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, or the sea, so he didn't know how spectacular the waves would be. But he knew that it was not a wave, it was the dust and smoke that the cavalry stepped on.

"Enemy attack!"

The old herdsman shouted frantically, and then ran as hard as he could from the high slope to the tribe. As he ran, he shouted hoarsely.

"Enemy attack!"

It was only when he staggered into the tribe that a black wall appeared on the high slope on which he had been sitting quietly and looking south.

It was neatly dressed black knights, and countless fiery red battle flags.

Li Xian likes red because he thinks it is a passionate and unyielding will. It was a will like fire, that was the will that could burn the heavens and destroy the earth.

The Xi warriors who stayed behind in the tribe had not had time to get on their horses, and the black-armored cavalry from the Central Plains had already poured into the tribe like a tide. At the head of the pack was a thor-like warrior with a double hammer, and no one could resist a round in front of his warhorse. The pair of golden bronze hammers smashed the heads of one steppe man after another with the sound of wind and thunder.

A Xiren warrior brandished a scimitar and rushed up, but his knife was raised, Pei Xingyan's copper hammer had already smashed his chest, and with a bang, the huge force directly smashed the Xiren warrior out of the horse. Before he landed, the man was dead. The copper hammer directly smashed his heart into a big pit, almost all the ribs on half of his body were broken, and the broken bones pierced the internal organs, and the person was already out of breath before he landed.

Pei Xingyan took the lead in killing this Xiren tribe, smashing the head of a warrior with a hammer, splashing bright red blood and white brains, and then smashing half of the shoulder of a woman who ran over with a hammer.

Four or five Yanyunzhai cavalry threw out a flying hook to hook a tent, urging the war horse to run to one side, and the tent was dragged to the side with a bang, and there were elderly women and children in the tent hugging each other, with the order of a team of Yanyunzhai cavalry, more than a dozen feather arrows were shot over, and four or five people in the tent were shot to death.

"Burn!"

Pei Xingyan shouted.

The soldiers began to set fire everywhere.

A group of women pulled their children, not forgetting to catch up with the sheep and run like crazy to the side. They looked back in horror as they ran, and in their panicked and frightened sight, more than a hundred black-armored cavalry swept over from behind like a gale, and slashed all the steppe people to the ground with sharp horizontal knives behind their backs.

More than 100 Xi warriors who were temporarily organized, riding horses and bravely launching a counter-charge towards the elite cavalry of Yanyun Village, trying to buy time for the rest of the tribe to escape, the leader of the warrior was the son of the tribe Ai Jin, a boy who was only seventeen years old, he howled like a wolf, brandished a scimitar and was the first to rush towards those elite Han cavalry.

"Kill!"

He roared with the loudest voice, plucking up courage for himself.

Burst!

A long lance stabbed straight over, and Cheng Zhijie picked the young man up from the horse with a struggle of his arms. The long lance pointed obliquely at the immortal sky, and then slammed the boy hanging on the lance to the ground. The young man who was not yet dead struggled to stand up, and Cheng Zhijie stepped forward.

The front hooves of the war horse stomped on the young warrior's chest, and with a pop, the young warrior spurted out a large mouthful of thick blood, and there were small pieces of minced meat in the blood, and I don't know if it was the lung lobe or the stomach. As the horse's hooves trampled on him, a large mass of bloody intestines squeezed out of his wound from the lance, like a child playing with mud, clutching a ball in the palm of his hand and squeezing it hard, and the mud came out of his fingers.

Jia'er looked at the tragic battlefield and looked at the raging fire that had already burned.

She turned her head to look at Li Xian, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't speak after all. Li Xian felt her gaze and asked calmly, "Do you feel a little cruel?" ”

Jia'er nodded, and shook her head again.

Li Xian said calmly and seriously: "It's just a report and a report, where is there anything cruel that is not cruel." I brought 5,000 people to the grassland, and Ashina Jishi took 600,000 people in the Central Plains, and I didn't kill enough, but it doesn't matter, in the Central Plains, Ashina Jishi has a maximum number of villages, towns, and county seats. If I choose a windy day and set a fire on the grassland, I can't say that hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death next year. ”

He pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said solemnly: "This is war, put away all the softness." ”
