Chapter 3: Heart Like Iron (12)
Running in this snowy night, Ding Yi still controlled his breathing very well, maintaining a high-speed and gentle fast performance. High speed, refers to his speed; Gentle, is the consumption of the body. And when he was completely in the darkness, Ding Yi pulled out two skis from the sheepskin behind his back, and as for the ski poles, he had a knife, a sharp knife, and he could trim two branches with his hands.
He carried two knives on his back, one was the Hundred Refining Autumn Water Goose Feather Knife, which was carried vertically on his back, and the handle of the knife was at the top of the back; There is also a Damascus scimitar, carried horizontally on the waist, this knife in the season of leaving Yunyuan, his disciple sent it back, just because the capital is unpredictable, and his own husband likes to break the meeting with strength, after all, he can't do without a knife in his hand.
The long knife of the hundred refining autumn water goose feathers, staggered on the scimitar at the back waist, is like an upside-down cross.
Ding Yi took out the knife, Qiushui Yanling knife in hand, this is a good knife, a hand-forged knife, the craftsman solemnly swallowed the word Bailian, because the status of the craftsman is getting lower and lower, the craftsman of this era is no longer able to leave his name like the cadre Mo Ye, so he only left the craftsmanship of this knife that is afraid of exhausting his efforts: Bailian.
It is said that according to modern standards, the unearthed Goujian sword is only at the level of T7 carbon tool steel, which is usually used to make files and drivers. But files and screwdrivers are not famous swords, they may be far better than ancient swords, but they are always just tools.
Ding Yi held the long knife and slashed out without hesitation. With just two swords, the two skis were cut into pieces, and no one could piece them together and restore them. He's not crazy. The reason why he ruined his hope of escape was not because he was so successful that he could escape without relying on skis and legs.
Rather, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of horses' hooves stepping into the snow, many horses, at least one or two hundred.
Even if there are skis. He was not sure at all, and in the encirclement and interception of the two hundred horsemen, he fled in an S-shaped trajectory. Skiing is required for a start-up speed. At first, it can't be very fast, but the horses behind have already picked up speed. He didn't intend to leave this secret to the Mongols, so that's why he went out with the knife.
Then Ding Yi escaped into the shadows. Motionless. He watched in the darkness as the cavalry with torches galloped towards him, the centurion raised his voice, and the cavalry of fifty men divided into four teams, staggered and searched around. Of course, two hundred horsemen were not enough to completely guard the exit of this carved ditch. But another hundred horsemen rushed out, and when they came to the mouth of the ditch, they were divided into ten bands. They each ran to the surrounding tribes, and Ding Yi wanted to be silent. It was obviously impossible to escape by hiding in the tents of those tribes at night.
After a while, a large number of torches will be lit around those tribes, illuminating the edges, guarding against Ding Yi and leaving themselves behind.
In the darkness, Ding Yi shrank in the gap between the rocks, and the two sheepskins behind him that were originally used to wrap crossbows and sniper rifles were covered in front of him at this time, even if he rode past with torches, it was difficult to perceive the difference between this snow-white and snowy land in this dark night, especially the light snow was still floating lightly, and after a while, it was mixed.
It's just that Ding Yi can't hide like this after all, even if the sky won't dawn, the cold in the snow also makes him unable to maintain his disguise for a long time, this is just a gap, he can't even curl up like Zhang Mao and shrink under that big umbrella to reduce the loss of body temperature.
"Ara's son is dead?" was also in the big tent first, and when he heard the report of Boyan Timur, he couldn't help but sit up straight all of a sudden, sparing him as the de facto ruler of the steppe, and letting him be the only one who could not sweat for a while, and did not want to become his puppet, he could only collapse in a battle and flee south in a panic, but at this moment he was really shocked.
Only because he is a peerless hero, so he knows the severity, 100,000 iron horsemen eat horses and chew, and it is cold and freezing, it seems that the loss is quite large, he doesn't care, because the losses of the standing military horses of Warat here are very light, they are all supplied with grain and grass, and the losses are all military horses that respond to the call; Some tribes are dissatisfied and unwilling to send young men to answer the call, and he doesn't care, just because there is a reason to sweep it away in one fell swoop; Tokhtar Buhua fled south, seeking refuge in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty may provide him with weapons and equipment, etc., to be honest, he didn't really care at first, he could control the puppet Khan for more than ten years, easily defeat Tokhtar Buhua, and when Tokhtarbuhua returned to the grassland, his remaining forces would have been swept away already.
He sent troops to deter the Ming Kingdom and boast of military strength!
The Xuanda defense line and the Anxi Governor's Mansion, under the cheering up of Ming generals such as Shi Heng, Sun Bo, and Ding Ruyu, had many fragmentary small victories, and among the Ming army, the fear of the Tartars had gradually weakened; In particular, the name of Abang Rakshasa made the Ming army's army seem to have found the main backbone.
This is not a good sign, so he also has to send troops first, he doesn't care too much about getting off or not, and he doesn't care too much about the original Wuliang Ha Sanwei territory, he wants to beat the Ming army down, teach the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, looking at the Wara army, he thought of the battle of Tumubao, and then remembered the battle of Anxi this time, so that the army of the Ming army, within ten years, even if he knew that the Mongols were fighting in the grass valley, they didn't dare to come to the rescue with a large army!
But when he listened to the news of Boyan Timur's return, he thought for almost a moment, and first asked the king of Saikan and Boyan Timur: "When we withdraw from the army at this time, does it seem that we are strong outside and strong in the middle?" He thought for a while, shook his head and said, "After Xue Qing, send someone to Tie Luo Cha to talk to privately, teach her to give some benefits, we have a step to go down, and then let's go back, this weather is too cold." ”
The weather was naturally cold, but it was definitely not a reason for him to want to retire.
The reason why he put forward the option of retiring from the army for the first time was because of the death of the son of the Arazhiin.
"Nayan, I have sent three hundred cavalry troops to block the mouth of the ditch, and the guards of the deceased will not be able to escape and go back to report the news." The king of the race was a little surprised by Ye Xian's words, and hurriedly said, "Is it too early to mention the withdrawal of the army at this time?" If it is better to attack for two more days after the snow is clear, teach people to know my interests and disadvantages, and then teach people to find the knot Luo Cha and say privately......"
Boyan Timur shook his head when he heard this, and said, "How long can you hide it?" I didn't go back tonight, the old wolf of Ara, he would always be searched, and even the people who came were detained? The military horses we arranged, on this snowy day, can't move much, and they can't wait until the snow clears to change positions with other tribes and surround the old wolf according to what Nayan said. ”
He pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word, he had to make a choice.
The son of the Elder Governor, not only this one, but even the two who led the troops, he wanted to kill them, so as to weaken the strength of the Elder Commandery, especially on that day, when the son of the Nara Governor came to ask if he could let Aro be the Grand Master, he was even more determined to the idea of the first one. It's just that it doesn't move at this time, let alone this location.
The fortress was most afraid of erupting from within, and although he hadn't heard it before, he knew very well how much trouble it would be if Ara's got into trouble with him. And when Boyan Timur said to him, "Why don't you tell the old wolf the truth, saying that it was the work of the Akhamasa that he did, and if he can't swallow this breath, he will go and settle accounts with the Akhama Rakshasa himself!" ”
Being honest with each other is not necessarily a solution. At least let's talk about it, and crack Ding Yi's method of discord.
He also listened to it first but laughed, and before he could speak, the king of the journal sneered on the side: "Special Zhiyuan, you have read a lot of books from the Ming people, are you stupid to read your own home?" Go and tell the old wolf of Arana, and he will believe it? If that's the case, you go and kill his other two sons as well, and put them all on the head of the Rakshasa! ”
"Judging from the place where the sentry said that he found the Akin Rakshasa is two hundred steps away, even if it is the sharpshooter of Kormi, it is impossible to guarantee that at such a long distance, it will kill with one blow!" How far the arrow can shoot and how far it will effectively aim and kill the distance are two different things, "Another blow to the skull, this kind of ability, except for Apong Rakshasa, who can do it?" In fact, it was only about one hundred and thirty meters, but Ding Yi successfully attracted attention, human eyes, always pay attention to moving objects, so they thought that Ding Yi was two hundred steps away, that is, four hundred meters away, to kill the son of Arazhiin.
The king of the journal disagreed: "I'm afraid that the old wolf will say that he was smashed on the side with an iron bone." And then under the pretext of saying the impossible thing of 200 steps. Does the Special Knowledge Institute want to teach the old wolf cub's guards to testify? If they are smart, they will naturally push it to Na Yan and have a glimmer of life, even if they are willing to tell the truth, they must be willing to believe the old wolf! ”
"Don't fight." He also slapped the case hard, beckoned to Boyan Timur and the king of Saikan to come over, but lowered his voice and said, "If the Rakshasa kills the old wolf and the other two sons who went out with the army, you say, what will the old wolf do?" Of course, if the old wolf was killed by Rakshasa, it would be the best, but the old wolf was afraid of death, and there were many people around him, so I was afraid that it would not be easy to get it......"
"It's the military horse that withdrew from the ditch, and Ah Pong Rakshasa refuses to show up, how can I negotiate this deal with him?" The King of Saikan was a little puzzled, "How could Ah Pong Rakshasa take the risk of killing the other two sons of the old wolf?" But in an instant, he reacted, slapped his thigh and said, "Na Yan, let's do this, if the old wolf dies three sons in one night, he will definitely be mad and come to beg Na Yan to help him avenge him!" ”
I also laughed when I heard it first, Ah Ra came to find and help him avenge him first, it was just a matter of the scene, in fact, if three sons died in one night, Ah Ra's strength and prestige were greatly reduced, he was a thousand kinds of bitterness, and he could only swallow it in his stomach! He already had fewer soldiers and horses than Yexian, and the tribes that listened to his orders were far fewer than the tribes that listened to his orders, so if he killed three sons in one night, why would he make trouble? (To be continued......)
PS: Although my tooth still hurts, I didn't ask for leave in advance, so I still insist on the second watch, which is my duty.
