Chapter 382: Private Fight
The Kuriqin tribe took advantage of the fact that the Kolin tribe was fighting with the Turkic army, and robbed hundreds of miles of pasture that originally belonged to the Klinluo tribe, and if this happened in a peaceful year, the consequences would be unimaginable, and even the Turkic royal court would not give up. Although the grassland tribes often compete with each other for resources, those excellent pastures have long been clearly divided, and no one else can interfere.
The Kuriqin tribe is not a big tribe, and even if the Klinluo tribe loses power in this grassland in the north-central region, it will not be the turn of the Kuriqin tribe to occupy it.
Infighting between tribes is forbidden on the steppe, but private fighting is not prohibited. The Collinlow tribe decided to use force to reclaim the pasture that was rightfully theirs.
In this narrow encounter, the Kelinluo tribe had already prepared, and they had already explored the direction of the migration of the Kuriqin tribe, and then waited here to "negotiate" with the Kuriqin people. It is said that it is a negotiation, but in fact, it is to send a small group of people to fight privately, if it wins, then the Kuliqin tribe will not have the face to continue to stay in this grassland.
"The Turkic tribes take honor very seriously." This is Timur's statement, but according to Liu Yu, with the cunning character of Khuriqin Khan, even if he loses, he will definitely not give up the pasture.
The rule of private fighting between Turkic tribes is one out of twenty households.
The concept of household is different in the grassland and the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, households are divided according to the family, usually a family takes seven dings as the average value, and the standard of drawing Ding is also carried out according to a certain proportion, because the wars of the Shun Dynasty have been frequent in the past two years, and the principle of drawing one from three dings in Guanzhong is basically two into three. In other words, if the family has only one ding, then he does not have to serve labor. But if it's two, it's going to be "three". Smoke a dice. Three Ding is also one draw, four Ding is drawn one and five Ding is drawn two, and so on.
But in the grassland, the standard of a household is one adult man, and the concept of one out of twenty households means that one adult man will come out of twenty. The principle of fighting a private fight is basically two out of three, or even nine out of ten. Mainly because of the harsh climate of the grassland, there are too few people.
This time, the result of the twenty households of the Collinluo tribe was that more than seventy people came. That is to say, there are now more than 1,400 adult men left in the entire Colin Luo tribe, and the Kuliqin people are very cunning, in fact, they have less than 2,000 men, but there are more than 140 people, so as to overpower the Colin Luo people in terms of numbers. In this way, they can have the absolute upper hand in private fights.
The Kolinluo people were provocative outside on horseback, while the Kuriqin tribe was debating specific candidates. In fact, the brave and warlike people in the tribe know very well in their hearts that even if they draw one out of twenty, it is hard to say how many they can survive in a private fight regardless of life and death. If something is good, I am afraid of death and hurt, and I am distressed. Those who went on a business trip were afraid of losing and had to give up the pasture, which made it difficult for the high-level of the Kuriqin tribe.
After the last, Khuliqin Khan personally made a decision to set one hundred and forty people. I went out to fight to the death with the more than seventy people in Colin Luo. These people are listed, Liu Yu looks familiar with them, they are all men who have performed prominently in wrestling in the past few days, and the man who provoked Liu Yu that day is also there. It can be seen that the people of Kuliqin are not careless, even if they have many people, they do not dare to fight with shrimp soldiers and crabs.
"Kuriqin Khan, don't you need my help?" Liu Yu didn't plan to go at all, but out of concern for the life and death of the people of Huliqin, Liu Yu asked.
The treacherous and cunning Hu Liqin Khan glanced at Liu Yu and said, "You are a guest, so you don't have to." ”
After saying that, he began to beckon people to get on their horses and discuss the situation and countermeasures. They discussed fiercely, but Timur on the side was a little sullen.
"What's wrong? Afraid that they will lose? Liu Yu asked.
"Two against one, can you lose?" Timur said, "None of them are well-intentioned, do you know what they are talking about?" After killing more than seventy people, they planned to go to the camp of the Collinlo tribe to loot livestock and women. ”
Liu Yu sighed slightly, the reproduction of the population on the grassland is extremely difficult, and it is understandable that the people of Huliqin want to grab such important resources as livestock and women. Taking a step back, Khurqin Khan did not go with the Turkic coalition army but chose to flee to seek the interests of his own tribe, which was also for the development of the tribe. Liu Yue understands this, and Timur also understands it, but she just doesn't feel angry as a woman.
At night, the steppe was lit up by torches, and a group of riders came out of the camp and formed their own phalanx between the camps on both sides. There were one hundred and forty people on one side and more than seventy people on the other, all of whom were the best martial artists in the two tribes. In this encounter, any weapon can be used, a bow and shield for long-range attacks are a must, and a saber for close quarters is also a must.
Men and women of the tribe, young and old, who did not play, also watched from the sidelines to watch this contest concerning the future fate of the two tribes.
Liu Yu looked at it and felt bored, what he was worried about now was that he would flee with Timur after the Huliqin tribe lost, and he was also looking for an opportunity. After all, being taken hostage was something he was very unhappy about.
"Look at what." Liu Yu pushed Timur and said, "Hurry up and go back and clean up, we can escape at any time." ”
Timur looked at Liu Yu suspiciously and asked, "Why do you want to escape?" ”
"You're not afraid they'll use you as a threat?"
Timur smiled and said: "Although our Dardo tribe is not the largest tribe on the grassland, if this kind of competition, there can be more than 3,000 warriors in twenty out of one, do you think the Huliqin people dare to offend us?" ”
Liu Yue was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many people in the Dardo tribe. No wonder Timur thinks highly of himself and doesn't take Kuriqin Khan in his eyes.
"Sometimes it's not about their strength, it's about their conspiracy."
Liu Yu said something that Timur didn't understand, and continued to watch the competition on the field. By this time, the cavalry of both sides had already begun to charge, and after a round of cavalry fire, they turned to hand-to-hand combat. It's really a fight to the death, and flesh and blood are flying.
If it is said that according to the number of people, the Kuriqin people will definitely have the upper hand, but the Collinluo tribe was robbed of their homeland, and it was extremely brave to fight, everyone seemed to have beaten chicken blood, and in a short period of time, the decline was reversed, and at this time, the Kuriqin people, who were still full of confidence, had a little horror on their faces.
If they were the ones who failed, it was the cattle and women of Kuriqin who would be plundered.
"Hurry." Liu Yue saw that the situation was not good, and immediately urged Timur, "Find the horse, don't bring the things, it's too late if you don't leave." ”
Timur was also a little flustered, and said, "I'm afraid that we won't be able to escape as fast as they can chase." ”
At this time, Liu Yu really hated that he had two legs, and then looked outside the field, the one hundred and forty warriors of Kuliqin had already lost three-quarters, and the cavalry of the Kelinluo tribe was riding their horses to kill the camp of the Kuliqin tribe.
There was no way to retreat, Liu Yu carried a short gun, grabbed a horse next to him, and jumped up. Timur hesitated slightly, and saw that Liu Yu had already stretched out his hand, held Liu Yu's hand very familiarly, and jumped on the horse at the same time. (To be continued......)
