The caravan turned to the south, when there was a sudden commotion in the caravan, and a dozen bound slaves escaped by cutting the ropes, shouting as they ran.
Zhidamu was furious, and led forty Qiang warriors to chase after him, cutting off all their heads one by one, and the remaining slaves trembled like frightened rabbits.
It took a lot of time to move the sheep and camels, and it was very time-consuming, and the Huns guarding the valley were brought over.
The Hun cavalry is coming!
Rushing over was more than a hundred Hun cavalry, they were the standing army in charge of Yin Wu's garrison under the account of King Youxian, although the number was small, but the combat effectiveness was much higher than that of the nomadic tribes near Yin Wu, and it was completely enough to deal with small tribes with only a few hundred to thousands of people.
Most of the people in the caravan faced the murderous Hun cavalry, and when they saw the silver wolf banner of the Right Xian King, the young knight's face couldn't help but change slightly.
The horse thieves used to face the Hun tribal cavalry, and there was little pressure to bully the small tribes in the desert, and the regular Hun cavalry under the account of the left and right Xian Wang had never encountered it, even if the Hun cavalry that Feng Shou had fought against was not the elite under the king's tent.
The Han knights were very worried, and the Qiang warriors were expressionless, they had not been in contact with the murderous Xiongnu elites, let alone the slightest sense of fear. The people of the Xiaoyue clan were not only not afraid, but they gritted their teeth one by one, eager to draw their knives and cut the Huns under the banner of the silver wolf in two, and the banner destroyed their homes with their own hands. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and are wandering around like lost dogs, and how can we remain indifferent when national hatred and family hatred are close at hand.
"Everyone be ready for battle!"
Zhang Qianxun pulled out a yak horn from his leather pocket, and the unique whimpering sound on the plateau was like a battle order, and more than 200 people in the caravan drew their bows and arrows at the same time.
Father Gan held his battle exploits and shouted: "Zhao Shun, start counting the numbers!" β
"The sun is in the south, with the sun as the punctual point, one hundred and thirty-six horsemen at four o'clock. Six hundred paces away from us, everyone was ready for battle, and quickly put on their bowstrings and counted the arrows in the quiver. Don't drop the chain at a critical moment. Zhao Shun's witty words made the warriors feel terrified, many black words in the caravan were learned by Zhang Qian from Cao Shi, and a few black words mixed with ordinary exchanges were also a means of identifying identities and protecting secrets, and dropping the chain was a black word that mocked a person's incompetence. No one wants to drop the chain in battle.
"Four hundred and fifty steps! You can try pulling the bowstring to find out how it feels. By the way, find the angle you are best at. β
Zhao Shun glanced at it with a grin: "There are still three hundred steps away!" Hey? The opponent seems to be about to shoot a school. β
More than 100 arrows fell scattered, and a few poor yellow sheep were killed by arrows, and all the staff still have zero casualties.
"Two hundred steps! Deal with it and shoot again. β
Zhao Shun smiled and watched the rain of arrows fall from the sky, this round of arrow rain is obviously more lethal, a few unlucky ghosts are unfortunately hit by arrows, they have simply practiced the skills of dodging arrows, and a few arrows are not the vital parts.
"I didn't hit the point, I didn't bleed much. I'm not going to die! β
"Shot in the shoulder, didn't hurt the bone. I'm not going to die! β
"If you shoot your right forearm, you can't draw the bow, and I won't die!"
All the wounded who were hit by the arrow shouted, and the morale of the caravan was greatly boosted.
The wounded man turned over and dismounted, and unhurriedly pulled out the arrow in the face of the rain of arrows pouring from the sky, at this time cutting off the shaft of the arrow is as dangerous as pulling the arrow.
The caravan is full of men who are accustomed to fighting, in Longxi County, they specially asked for advice to learn battlefield first-aid nursing skills, the wounded turned out the wound medicine from the leather pocket and applied it to the wound, and then wrapped it with gauze to prevent excessive blood loss and death, and the fierce Qiang people directly took out the fire fold and pressed it on the wound.
Suddenly, the green smoke rose and smelled of burning.
"Ahh
The fierce Qiang roared in unison, anger and hatred were the antidote to morale, and the knights in the array held their heads up in the face of the rain of arrows.
The most important thing on the battlefield is not the spirit of blood and bravery, but the calmness and calmness of looking down on life and death.
The weakness of the Huns was beyond their expectations, and the rain of arrows struck far less than expected.
Maybe it's because this Hun hundred-man team has been neglecting the battle formation for a long time, or maybe it's because they can't effectively swing in their hastily response to the battle, and it feels like the bowstring is not good and the morale is insufficient.
Several rounds of arrow rain shooting did not work, and the Hun cavalry felt abnormal.
The degree of the charge has decreased, and in the past, when one or two waves of arrows rained down, the formation of the nomads on the opposite side was chaotic, and a wave of charging and killing was dispersed in the distance, followed by a one-sided massacre.
The leader of the hundred cavalry was stunned, and under the fierce cover of his own arrows, he didn't know whether he was in danger or stupid by their cavalry, in short, the caravan was not dispersed.
The Huns' attack fell into a brief hesitation, and the intensity of the assault slowed down.
Zhao Shun laughed and said: "The Huns have changed formations, it seems that this group of wolf cubs wants to solve us once and for all." β
Everyone laughed, and the stagnation in their hearts dissipated, even if it was the terrifying Huns who were killed? Just kill it anyway!
"Brave Eagle Eye King, can you see the expression of the hundred horsemen?" Zhidamu shouted at the other end of the line.
The caravan now has one hundred and sixty people, doubling the size makes the caravan exposed to a big increase, in order to ensure safety, the importance of scouts has increased significantly, Zhao Shun is the best scout in the caravel, he himself is the most cunning wolf on the grassland, more difficult and cunning than the Huns, has escaped the pursuit of the Huns and the Han army many times, has excellent reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities.
Excellent archery skills are not his strongest point, Zhao Shun was born with a pair of eagle eyes and wolf ears, and the reason why he repeatedly escaped from the pursuit was because of his sensitive sense of smell like that of a beast.
Zhao Shun looked around: "That hundred cavalry commander is hesitating, he seems to want to let the assault formation spread out and turn into a circle of riding and shooting suppression." What a naΓ―ve person, there is still a glimmer of possibility when he rushes over now, and he is looking for death purely than archery. β
"One hundred and twenty steps. It's time for us to do something. β
"Shoot the arrows!" The arrow in Gan's father's hand came out of the string in response, and the next moment the bowstring rebounded, he grabbed an arrow and pulled the bowstring, and the wooden ring-like wrench moved slightly, and the arrow flew out instantly.
Ten arrows within ten breaths, each arrow pulls the bow like a full moon, and the moment of power is at the peak of the strongest, you must know that it is a heavy war bow with five stones and a foot of 9o pounds. The kinetic energy carried by each arrow can pierce the hardest iron armor, and facing the Hun cavalry wearing only leather armor is simply a massacre.
An arrow slammed into the Hun soldier's body. The arrow pierced his ribcage through the chest, and flew out of his back into the target behind him, and the second man also fell without saying a word, and in the blink of an eye, he completed the arrow through the two people in a row.
"It's boring. We are too strong and our opponents are too weak. It's so unchallenging. "Feng Shou bored bent the bow and released the arrows, only a moment has been shot three people in a row, people with good archery skills take advantage of the big advantage, one hundred and fifty steps can be sniped, and the poor archery skills are eighty steps away from the dare not release arrows indiscriminately, wave shooting is a bad behavior strictly forbidden by the caravan, save weapons and arrows and try to collect and store more spare arrows, to ensure their absolute safety in the grassland desert is the first priority.
Lu Heng's archery skills are not very good. Eighty steps is the limit of his accuracy, and he prefers to use a halberd to decide the winner. It's a pity that the barbarians on the steppe prefer bows and arrows to determine the victory, and charge and slash will only be used when they are forced to do so, so he has always been very depressed in the caravan.
Seeing the little kid Feng Shou kill three people in a row, and keep saying those unbounded sour words, Lu Heng was furious: "You rabbit cub chirps crooked fart!" The barbarians in the Western Regions are full of grabs, you have the ability to go to Wusun Country to be a hero, don't scare and call here to affect our mood. β
"Yo! It turns out that Lu Tou hasn't opened yet! Do you want to give you a head? Just shout brother. Feng Shou turned around and ran.
Lu Heng touched the bow and really wanted to give it to him, but he knew that it was impossible, Feng Shou's archery skills were several times better than him, and he would not only fail to shoot people but also violate taboos, so he knew that this bear child's mouth was not pumping, and there was nothing he could do if Lu Heng couldn't catch him.
The Hun cavalry continued to fall down to a degree visible to the naked eye, and before he rushed to within a hundred steps, the Hun cavalry commander was stunned and there were only more than 30 cavalry left around him, he suddenly regretted today's duty task, if he hesitated and did not choose to pursue out of the valley, if he calmed down and sent someone to question, he might not end up in the current situation.
In the moment he was stunned, a storm of arrows engulfed his companions, within eighty steps everyone was a first-level marksman, the Hun cavalry just pulled the bow before they had time to shoot the arrow, they were busy prostrate to dodge, as long as they dared to show their heads and pose for shooting, they would die before the arrow went out.
Poof!
The hundred horsemen were hit by an arrow in his left knee, and the severe pain made him lose his balance in an instant, and the legs that clamped the horse's belly could not stabilize his balance, but fortunately he subconsciously grabbed the horse's mane and barely fell off the horse.
He turned around and saw that his companion had fallen off his horse in a hurry, obviously a brave soldier under the tent of the Right Virtuous King, but when they faced this murderous caravan, they were like a group of waste, watching their partner being killed, and the formation of the opponent never moved, and even their expressions did not change.
When the last companion was killed, the Hundred Riders raised his head and shouted, "I surrender......
Poof!
The arrows in the eyebrows, five arrows shot from different directions, hit the poor hundred horsemen on the forehead, and in an instant he was separated in a very terrifying death.
"Don't be stunned, take all the horses, strip the corpses of their clothes and throw them into the snow, put away all the weapons and arrows, and the rest of the people will follow me to dispose of the yellow sheep and camels, gather here at night, and then go into the valley." Father Gan drove the war horse and shouted: "After the stable winter in the valley, let's set off again and continue westward!" β
Zhao Shun smiled and reported the battle exploits and battle damages: "One hundred and thirty-six pieces of war horses were captured, one hundred and thirty-six war horses were captured, this time everyone is good, no fools shoot war horses worthy of praise, five people were slightly injured in Shangdu, the rest were uninjured, all the staff did not fight and attrition, everyone made persistent efforts, they all had to live!" β
"You must live!" The caravan shouted in unison. (To be continued!)
