Chapter 301: A Guts

Under the sunset, Zhao Yun sat on the hillside, more than a dozen guards sat on the side, some even lay with their heads in their hands, their eyes looking at the sky, and some were leaning sideways, pillowing the saddle, sleeping soundly, looking really casual and comfortable from a distance, but if the Xianbei people walked in, they would find that except for Zhao Yun, there was no one who was not pale.

If it weren't for Zhao Yun's order, they would rather jump up and rush towards the enemy on their war horses than lie here and pretend to be leisurely. If this Xianbei people rush over, there will be no chance to fight back.

In order to comfort them, Zhao Yun told them stories.

Do you know what this place is? Wolf Juxu Mountain is the place where Huo Quai, the most famous young general of our Han people, came to be sick. However, you must know that in addition to Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing, there are also famous generals like Li Guang. Once, he met the Huns, and that's what he did, calm and calm, the Huns couldn't figure it out, and they didn't dare to come, and finally he returned safely.

Although these Zhao family tribes may not know the big war of the year, they have heard of the names of these people, and seeing that Zhao Yun is so sure, they are a little more relieved: "My lord, do you say that the Xianbei people will be as stupid as the Huns?" ”

"It's not stupid, it's cautious." Zhao Yun smiled and said, "If it were you, would you believe that there are only two hundred of us?" ”

The part blinked and thought for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, and the flesh on his cheeks trembled.

"So don't be afraid, but be afraid of them." Zhao Yun smiled calmly: "Right now, it's just some pathfinders, even if they dare to rush over, we can easily clean them up, that year Lu Fengxian and Xu Gongming defeated more than 3,000 Xianbei people in Shaling." ”

"That is, our family can't be worse than Lu Fengxian." As soon as he heard Lu Bu, the Zhao family's courage grew. Lu Bu and Zhao Yun are both handsome and handsome under Liu Xiu, but Lu Buye is a little more and Zhao Yun is more elegant, and Zhao Yun is the earliest to enter the scene, and he has always been an adult's other Sima before, it stands to reason that Zhao Yun should be the main general in this attack, but who would have thought that Han Sui would take the lead, and even Lu Bu rushed to be the vanguard, which made the Zhao family very unhappy.

Zhao Yun didn't say anything, he looked at the Xianbei people who were settling in the distance, and he was anxious. According to the calculation of time, Han Sui and they should be attacking the wolf tribe now, and they don't know if it will go smoothly or not, anyway, if Murong Feng rushes over at this time, it will be very unfavorable to the situation on the other side, and if it can be delayed for a while, it will be able to give Han Sui and them a little chance, if it can be delayed until tomorrow morning, it will be the best. There is one night, no matter whether they win or lose, Han Sui and they should be ready.

However, on the other side is Murong Feng, a rare wise man on the grassland, whether he can deceive him or not, he has no bottom in his heart.

Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly tightened, he greeted, stood up, turned over on his horse, pulled up the iron halberd from the ground, and suddenly hit the horse and galloped down the hillside. At the foot of the hill, a dozen or so Xianbei people were hesitantly walking towards this side, as if they wanted to test the truth and reality, and when they saw him galloping down the mountain, those people glanced at each other, and also rushed over.

Zhao Yun's white horse is very powerful, and by the slope, when he rushed to the Xianbei people, he had run fast, and the Xianbei people rushed over with a loud shout, kicking the war horse with both feet, hoping to run faster, although they were crowded, but the speed was not dominant, and they would suffer a loss when they collided.

Zhao Yunqing snorted, raised his hands, shook his wrist hard, and the halberd head suddenly trembled, making a buzzing sound, as if it suddenly came to life.

"Whew! Laugh at! With two soft sounds, the iron halberd trembled, like a spirit snake flying close to the turf, and in the wrong time, it cut the throats of the two Xianbei warriors who rushed ahead, and then flew towards the third person. The man was so shocked that he didn't think much about it, he waved the war knife in his hand and slashed down.

With a sound of "dang", the war knife slashed at the halberd head, and a strong force came, the war knife flew out of his hand, but the halberd head changed direction, and it was only three inches away from his neck, and he could almost feel the cold murderous aura on the halberd blade, which made him shiver all over.

"Pounce!" Two more sounds, accompanied by the screams of their companions.

The sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded into the distance, and the sound of falling horses came one after another, and a scream of either sorrow or despair sounded, and the Xianbei knight looked back and was shocked.

Except for him, there were no more companions sitting on horseback, most of them were clutching their throats and rolling on the ground in pain, and the remaining three or four people were scrambling around, as if they were avoiding the invisible ghosts.

"Hey!" In the distance, the Han general circled his horse and walked back and shouted at him. This time he did not charge, and with a halberd in one hand, his hooves sounded peculiarly, as if he had come to hunt.

And he is the prey.

Two horses roared from behind him, and a sword with the sound of the wind cut off his head. The blood-sprayed head rolled down the hillside to the Han general's horse, his eyes wide open to represent the shock he had before he died.

The Zhao family who arrived killed the Xianbei people who had been frightened one by one, and then hung their heads on the saddle, Zhao Yun dipped the blood and wrote a few words on it, and then slapped the war horses and let them go back by themselves along the way they came, and then returned to the hillside, sat down again, and enjoyed the dry food received from the Xianbei people. After the battle just now, the Zhao family was very excited, talking and laughing while eating.

"Xianbei people are really stingy, they are fighting, just eat this thing?"

"That's it, these people are really suffering, it's better to go to Tuntian in Bingzhou, even if you are a slave, you can eat this better."

"! Slave? I think the adults will arrange them to dig coal in the coal mines, but now that there are more people in the state, the price of coal has risen rapidly, and those who have contracted coal mines are dying of laughter. ”

"Digging coal is also better than this, digging coal for a few years, if you can come out alive, you will have the opportunity to become a naturalized person in the future and be half a Han person."

"Hahaha...... That's right. ”

Murong Gui looked at the dead heads, looked at the Chinese characters written in blood on the saddle, and frowned into Sichuan characters. He didn't know Chinese characters, but from this seemingly dignified font, he saw a majesty that people dared not despise. He examined the wounds of the men, and most of them had been killed by a single blow that had been cut by the same weapon. He knew that although these scouts were not superior in force, they were all fierce and warlike warriors, what kind of people could easily kill them in their encirclement?

Murong Gui found a piece of cloth, copied those blood characters, and asked people to send them to Murong Feng quickly.

Murong Feng came quickly, he carefully examined the wounds of the deceased, his face was calm, he raised his head and looked at the horizon in the distance where only the shadow of the mountain remained, and was silent for a long time.

"Dashuai, what did those Han people say?"

Murong Feng glanced at the cloth in his hand and paused, "The Great Han Duliao General Changshi Zhao Yun has hunted so far, please advise!" ”

"Hunting?" Murong Gui shouted, "This is our Xianbei people's territory, what kind of hunting is he coming?" ”

"Shut up!" Murong Feng glanced at him, and his unangry and self-righteous momentum immediately shut him up. "Do you really believe he's here to hunt? If it's really hunting, how many people can he bring, at most one or two thousand, it's amazing, and when he sees us, he doesn't run fast and dares to come to find death? ”

"But...... There are only 10,000 Han people in Bingzhou. ”

"They won't levy the Huns?" Murong Feng asked rhetorically, Murong Gui didn't squeak, he knew that Murong Feng was right, the Huns were now the dogs of the Han people, and more than half of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty were Huns. If the Han people requisitioned the Huns, it would be normal for them to have one or two thousand more troops.

Murong Feng's sword eyebrows were tightly locked, what he was most worried about was not the Huns, but the wind crack, Yan Liyou said to him, first break the wind crack, and then break the Qianluo Luo, in the future, the western Xianbei is the wild wolf tribe is the dominant family, but he just received the news of Yan Liyou, but the Han people appeared here, this thing is indeed a little surprising.

Feng Xue, the daughter of Feng Crack, married Liu Xiu, is Liu Xiu also here? Could it be that Gandra felt the danger and joined forces with the Han people? If this is the case, his forces will not be superior. It's dark again, and if you fall into an ambush, it's a lot of luck.

"Set up camp at once, be on guard, and don't let people take advantage of the loopholes." Murong Feng issued a series of orders: "Send scouts to investigate around to see if there are any ambushes around." Send a team of 100 men over to confront them, and if they run away, pursue them immediately, if they don't...... Then wait for news from the scouts. ”

Murong Gui received the orders and ordered them one by one. The army began to encamp, and bonfires were lit, illuminating a radius of miles.

Murong Gui didn't dare to be careless, and personally rushed to the bottom of the mountain with a team of 100 people, wanting to test it, but found that a bonfire was also lit on the hillside, in the firelight, a big flag was gently swaying in the breeze, and more than a dozen Han people were eating around the bonfire, far away, I couldn't hear what they were saying, but judging from their movements, they were very leisurely, and there was no sense of nervousness at all. The war horse was tied to the side, eating fodder contentedly, raising its neck and shaking its hooves from time to time.

Murong Gui didn't know the depth, so he had to send someone around to check it while waiting patiently.

When night fell, a big flag, a bonfire, and the Xianbei camp in the distance was far away. Under the side of the hill that the Xianbei people can't see, the Zhao family is trying their best to hunt down the Xianbei scouts, they are like wolves chasing their prey, their tactics are flexible, the killing method is fierce, with bows and crossbows at a distance, and knives and halberds at a close distance, killing those Xianbei people who have made a lot of effort to turn around.

In the vast dark night, murderous opportunities lurk.

Zhao Yun sat under the flag, beside the bonfire, listening to the screams, a light smile on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that those sheep livers and beef livers are not wasted." ”

…… On the shore of the Bow Lu Water, a fierce battle is in full swing, and a hundred heavy armor soldiers led by Guan Yu are slashing and killing, unstoppable, no matter whether the opponent is an archer or a shield player, anyway, it will be a sword to slash the past. The sharp sword of chopping horses can even cut horses, not to mention cutting people, most of the Xianbei people are leather armor, there is basically no room for bargaining when encountering this kind of sharp weapon, disemboweling is light, and it is reasonable to be in a different place.

The heavy armor soldiers were scattered, lined up in two horizontal rows, and the big swords danced vigorously, killing forward with indomitable progress, even if there were a few lucky ones, they couldn't stop the tiger warriors behind, and they were killed one by one. With the heavy armor in front, even Xu Xu, who is brave and good at fighting, has no room to play, so he can only follow Liu Xiu's side honestly, guarding against stray arrows and the like, which seems a little lonely.

The 1,000 foot soldiers responsible for blocking the attack were like a dirt slope in front of the flood, with heavy casualties in one round, looking at the stumps and broken arms all over the ground, looking at the steaming stomachs and livers, the Xianbei people were so frightened that they no longer had any fighting spirit to resist.

Guan Yu's momentum was like a rainbow, and the frustration of being defeated by Lu Bu had now been washed away by the enemy's blood, and he slashed the last enemy in front of him into two with a sword, and pointed with his hand: "Keep attacking!" ”

"Whoa!" A hundred heavy armor soldiers threw off the flesh and blood on their bodies, and suddenly agreed. Although it is only a hundred people, it has the momentum of ten thousand.

The Xianbei people, who saw this amazing scene in the distance, saw them rush over with their steps, and did not dare to slack off, the archer raised the bow in his hand, and the spearman tightened the spear in his hand, but his hands trembled, his eyes were dull, and he had not yet engaged in battle, and his brain was already blank, and he just relied on instinct and obeyed the order to fight.

A rain of arrows flew out and pounced on the heavy armor soldier, who ignored it, dragged his sword with one hand, and strode forward.

"Dangdangdang......"

"Dangdangdang......"

A series of crisp sounds, a series of sparks, like god-killing heavy armor warriors were not affected in any way, they just dragged their swords and rushed forward with an unstoppable murderous aura.

Guan Yu was the first to rush to the front of the formation, sneered, the big sword swept, and a new round of killing began.

The spear, which was cut in two.

Wooden bows, scattered like rotten wood.

Leather armor, like a layer of paper, is vulnerable.

The Xianbei people were dumbfounded, looking at the silent slashing heavy armor soldiers, just like looking at the killing gods who rushed out of the night, they were not not brave, not that they did not work hard, but in front of the heavy armor soldiers, their bravery and efforts did not have any effect.

They stabbed the heavily armored soldiers, but the spears could not pierce the iron armor, and the opponent just waved his hand, and the big sword cut the spear in two.

They shot at the heavy armor soldiers, but whether they were stone arrows or iron arrows, they could not hurt the other party at all, except for the crisp sound of knocking on the heavy armor and the brilliant firelight.

They struck the heavily armored men, but the swords slid over the iron armor, and the most important effect was to make a screeching sound.

However, a single blow from the other side, no matter from which angle, is enough to make them lose their combat effectiveness, and may even kill them. In front of these heavily armored Han troops, they were just a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and there was no room for resistance.

In the face of an invincible enemy, few people can persist in a desperate attack, and this is no longer something they can accept.

One centurium fell, another hundred...... Whether it was the Xianbei people who were engaged in the battle or those who were watching the battle, they were all frightened by the scene in front of them, and all their courage was squeezed into a cold sweat by the murderous aura of the other party, which came out of their bodies.

All they can do is give a call for help before they are killed, or...... Run away.

The sound of the horn of the Xianbei people crying for help and the sound of the war drums of the Han army's wild march were mixed together, and the sound of the horn became more and more panicked, while the sound of war drums became more and more majestic. At the same time, the knights of the Han army who were rushing to kill in the camp were also greatly boosted, and they became more and more courageous, people like tigers, horses like dragons, wantonly killing, trampling at will, and impacting the crumbling formation of the Xianbei people over and over again.

Listening to the anxious cry for help in the back camp, and learning the news that the Hongyue tribe and the Han people were colluding and attacking his back camp, Yan Liyou could no longer support it, and he took advantage of the night to take the guard battalion out of the siege and fled eastward. He knew that Murong Feng was not far away, and as long as he kept going east, he would have a way to live. Thinking that no matter how fierce the Han people were, they didn't dare to hunt him down in the dark.

As soon as he ran, his morale suddenly collapsed, and most of the soldiers who had been killed by the Han army in horror except for some who broke through and fled in all directions, most of them laid down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender. Liu Xiu, Han Sui and the others met, and then they knew that Murong Feng was really a hundred miles away, and now only Zhao Yun was sentry behind with two hundred personal guard battalions.

Liu Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately cleaned up the battlefield, Jia Xu was arrogant and brave, "I'll go see the wind crack." Liu Xiu agreed, in the face of Murong Feng's superior forces, if Feng Crack was still unwilling to cooperate with him, then he could only care about his life or death.

Jia Xu swaggered into the camp of the wind crack, and at a glance, he realized that the original Qiandi Ao of the Hongyue tribe was also there.

"Yan Liyou ran away and went east, it should be to join Murong Feng." Jia Xu said straight to the point: "We have received news that Murong Feng's army is a hundred miles away, and it will be here soon." Lord Liu has just defeated the wolf tribe and collected a large amount of loot, I don't know if the two marshals are interested, if not, we will burn it, and we can't take it away anyway. ”

Wind Crack sat silent for a long time, and finally raised his head, "I want to see him." ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Welcome, presumably the adults will be very happy." ”

Feng Crack's face was expressionless, but there was a look of pain in his eyes that could not be concealed. He had already received news from the fallen Qiandi Ao that his former good friend Murong Feng had arrived with an army of 20,000 to flank him with Yan Liyou and completely wipe him out of this grassland. Things have reached a time when he can't help but make a decision, if he doesn't join forces with Liu Xiu, he will only be defeated by Murong Feng. He could die, but the Minotaur couldn't just die.

Feng Crack didn't hesitate anymore, he sent a messenger to see Murong Feng, I have joined forces with Liu Xiu, if you dare to come, I will fight with you. The Hongyue tribe also joined us, and from that moment on, the western Xianbei broke away from the royal court of Danhan Mountain and no longer obeyed the orders of Tanshi Huai.

Liu Xiu saw the wind crack by the Gonglu water, he hadn't seen him for a few years, the wind crack was much older, his hair was basically white, he looked like an old man in his old age, and he couldn't see the demeanor outside Ningxian County at all. Liu Xiu was a little sad, how high-spirited the wind crack was back then, how did it become like this now, if the wind and snow saw it, I don't know what it would look like to be sad.

"Your Excellency." Liu Xiu bowed down and invited Feng Crack to sit down beside the bonfire that had just been erected. Although it was cold today, but fortunately there was no wind, the blazing bonfire was burning vigorously, and a few tigers simply handled the fish they had just caught, and threw them into the boiling pot, where the fresh mutton was stirring, and the rich aroma came to the nose, making people salivate.

"In our Chinese characters, there are fish and sheep that are fresh, such a delicious soup, with fine wine, can be drunk with the wind crack adults in the Weizhen grassland, which is a great pleasure." Liu Xiu picked up the wine jug and handed it to Feng Crack with his own hands. Feng Crack hesitated for a moment, then took it and took a shallow sip, a flush on his pale face.

"The general of the defeated army does not dare to speak bravely." Feng Crack said slowly: "It's only been a few years since my adult's debut, and I have won consecutive battles, and my reputation has already spread all over the grassland, how dare I Feng Crack call myself Weizhen Grassland." He raised his head and squinted his eyes, "My lord, who are you going to hit next?" ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed and he smiled: "Go back." ”

"Go back?"

"Yes, my task is to be in charge of the western Xianbei, now the wild sand tribe is gone, the wolf tribe is also disabled, there is only one Hongyue tribe left, or our ally, I have completed the task, naturally I have to go back to the state."

Feng Crack nodded slowly, and turned the wine jug in his hand: "Aren't you interested in visiting Beihai?" ”

"Yes." Liu Xiu said with a smile, the wind cracked his hand and stagnated, and the cracking wind behind him also stared at him, Liu Xiu disagreed, and then said: "Fengxue misses you very much, and I also miss Beihai, but this battle is hard, I didn't let her follow." When the war is over, I will accompany her back to Beihai Province. We Han people have this habit, which is called returning to the province, and we will stay in Beihai for a period of time. ”

Feng Crack smiled silently, and touched Liu Xiu with the wine jug in his hand: "I'll wait for you." ”

Crack Wind grinned, "Then you have to report before you come, and I will send someone to hunt a white bear to make a mattress for you." ”

"Thank you very much." Liu Xiu said with a smile. The two gossiped for a while and discussed the next thing. Liu Xiu knew that the current strength of the Niutou tribe was too poor, so he gave him most of the captives and supplies of the wild wolf tribe, and suggested that he move out of Beihai at the right time and move to the vicinity of Junji Mountain, which is closer to the border of the Han Dynasty, and if there is anything, it is easier to deal with it, and the environment is much better.

Feng Crack was noncommittal, and he didn't even show any excitement about Liu Xiu's generous gift, his expression was very dull, his eyes didn't move for a long time, he just lowered his head, drank sullenly, and soon got drunk and snored loudly. Crack Wind was very embarrassed, and greeted Liu Xiu again and again, but Liu Xiu could understand Wind Split's mood at this time, and didn't say anything, just sighed.

He was a little uneasy, and when Liu Xiu gave the loot to Feng Crack, he was a little greedy and didn't dare to speak. Feng Crack said that the Hongyue tribe has also allied with the Han people, and they can no longer be as left and right as before, what kind of reaction will Danhan Mountain have, will his sister Adela be unlucky, he is very worried now, and more importantly, what if Tan Shihuai leads an army to conquer? Not to mention that Liu Xiu is going back to the state, even if Liu Xiu stays and gathers the strength of the three of them, they only have more than 30,000 troops, but the strength that Tanshi Huai can gather is at least more than 50,000, and may even reach 100,000.

"What are you worried about?" Liu Xiu suddenly asked.

Placing the Gandhi, Ao wanted to speak and stopped.

"Sandalwood locust?" Liu Xiu asked again.

Luo Zhi Gandis nodded his head, the worry in his eyes was self-evident.

"He can't come for a while." Liu Xiu said softly: "The May Ancestral Hall is coming soon, and his most important task now is to recapture Danhan Mountain, otherwise he will have to move the royal court to Mobei." Do you think he would do that? ”

He thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I don't give you the spoils, I just don't want you to lose your tongue." Liu Xiu continued, "You are different from Feng Split, your sister-in-law is the wife of He Lian, and it may be the future Yan clan, the Red Yue tribe can secretly associate with us, but it is impossible to really form an alliance, I know this very well. ”

Gandhi Ao was relieved, "Thank you for your understanding." ”

"However, you help me tell He Lian that if he doesn't make any more moves, I'm afraid that the next Xianbei King will have nothing to do with him. If that's the case, I'm welcome to ......" Liu Xiu pointed to the settlement of Qiandi Ao: "Come with your Hongyue tribe, we will be a real friend and deal with Murong Feng together." ”

He frowned and didn't say anything.

"I'm leaving, this year's Hu Market will still be open, as long as you dare to come." Liu Xiu stood up and patted his buttocks: "I have no other requirements, only one point, you don't stab the back of the Niutou tribe, otherwise, I will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth, just like when our Han army chased and killed Zhizhi Danyu." Remember, don't mess with us Han people, try to be our friends, at least don't be our enemies, otherwise when your father and son's heads hang on the head of Luoyang City like the law deduction, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Falling Gandhi Ao's face changed, he froze for a moment, and nodded silently.

…… The next day, Murong Feng had just learned from the news collected by the scouts that he had been fooled, and was about to move on, Yan Liyou arrived with more than 2,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and cried and complained, asking Murong Feng to immediately send troops to attack the Hongyue tribe and the Han army, Murong Feng was taken aback, where did he dare to promise him, and when he was appeasing Yan Liyou, the messenger of the wind crack arrived.

After listening to the message of the wind crack, Murong Feng's face sank so much that he was about to drip, Yan Liyou also closed his mouth with interest, the Hongyue tribe and the Niutou tribe formed an alliance with the Han people together, and with Murong Feng's strength, they couldn't shake them at all, and it would be a death to rush over.

"Only the Great King can help you now." Murong Feng patted Yan Liyou's shoulder and said helplessly.

Yan Liyou knew that Murong Feng was going to give Hebian a problem, so he hurriedly responded. They discussed a few words vaguely, and the main reason for the defeat of the wild wolf tribe became the attack of the Red Yue tribe, and it was precisely because they attacked from behind that the wild wolf tribe would be caught off guard and defeated by them.

Murong Feng retreated fifty miles, and before leaving, he sent someone to send a message to Liu Xiu: "Your Zhao Yun is full of guts!" ”

After receiving Murong Feng's news, Liu Xiu laughed and said to the messenger, thank you for the compliment, but Zilong is not the only one who is brave, Lu Fengxian has already let you taste the sweetness before. This time it is unfortunate that I failed to compete with the marshal on the field, I hope that there will be such an opportunity in the near future, and then let you see, how heroic our Han family is, some are heroes, and it is a very fatal mistake to be the enemy with us.

Liu Xiu's words made everyone laugh, and the Xianbei messenger saluted tremblingly, beat his horse and left, not even daring to turn his head back.

Liu Xiu said easily, but in fact, he didn't dare to slack off, he said to the generals, we are as fast as the wind when we come, and we must be as fast as electricity when we go, and we will leave immediately when the Xianbei people do not understand the real situation, whether it is Murong Feng or Tanshi Huai, they will not give up, and the war will resume here immediately. However, it doesn't matter how they want to fight Xianbei, as long as they can't beat us.

We have thirty-six plans, go for the top!

(To be continued)
