Chapter 510: Hope
At last the laughing crowd saw hope, and Halbara and Chaganbala were like two wild horses that had finally taken off their brands and saddles, and they did not know where they got their strength, and they were able to run with joy on the ground.
Uncle Arhan, who had always been calm, also hugged the tribesmen, laughed heartily, and patted the tribesmen's shoulders and backs with his remaining left arm.
Hearing Qin Yining say this, Uncle Al Khan stopped and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense." I'll get everyone's attention. Arrange a scout to explore the path. It's also thanks to you for being calm, we're all so happy. I don't have the heart to pay attention to any of this. ”
Qin Yining smiled: "This is human nature, and I am as happy as everyone else." However, the more times like this, the more we must not relax and let all the efforts of this period of time be in vain. ”
"That's what you said." Uncle Arhan and the clansmen observed Qin Yining's actions along the way, and they had long been convinced by her, and they were convinced of Qin Yining's proposal every time.
Arkhan turned his head and said to the tribesmen: "The chase we encountered along the way was not fierce, it can be seen that Utkin Khan did not arrange many people in the desert, his kind of sanctimonious person will definitely avenge the female devil of Anari with great fanfare, since the chasing soldiers in the desert are limited, he must have arranged people outside the desert." ”
The clansmen all nodded when they heard this, and some of the clansmen also panicked, "What if he really arranges people?" ”
"It's not difficult, let's choose two warriors with fast tutorials as scouts, go ahead to explore the way first, and our team will move forward slowly, first out of this desert to find water, and when we hear the news, we will decide what to do next."
"Okay, just listen to Uncle!"
The clansmen should be together.
Al Khan explained to Qin Yining again, Qin Yining nodded with a smile and said: "You have fought a war and have experience, I don't know these things, it's all up to the uncle's arrangement." ”
Uncle Arhan was overjoyed to hear this, and instead chose two scouts to go to the charcoal furnace.
And their ranks were quickly put in order, and instead of stretching the ranks, a thousand people gathered together in a diamond-shaped phalanx to deal with all kinds of sudden dangers.
The team moved forward cautiously and slowly.
Because of Al Khan's words, the whole team of people became cautious, and everyone looked at the six directions and listened to all directions, as if a wild beast could suddenly burst out of some corner and bite them.
After half an hour of marching, it became a little dark.
After this period of time, the nervous people also relaxed a little, and even Qin Yining was a little skeptical that he was too worried.
Just as she was thinking about whether to let everyone stop and rest for a while, someone on the left wing of the group suddenly let out a loud cry, and the sound of lack of water was hoarse as if scraping a blunt knife on a rough stone slab.
"There are pursuers! It's a chaser! ”
Not far away, a group of cavalry of about 100 men was galloping on horseback. They all brandished large knives in their hands, laughing and shouting loudly to shock the group of "refugees" who had just walked to the edge of the desert.
Someone panicked.
Arkhan then shouted in a Tatar voice: "Keep calm, cut off the horse's legs!" Give them some color and let them know that there are no bad seeds in our Mino! ”
Along the way, they have thought of many ways to deal with emergencies, and there are some remnants among these people, and they will also take time to teach the people around them how to fight the enemy.
Although they saw so many people rushing towards them brandishing machetes, after being reminded by Uncle Arhan, everyone who had gone through the cruel baptism of the desert forced themselves to stabilize their minds, and did not show panic, but changed their formation to meet the enemy.
Qin Yining stood next to Lu Heng's lying horse, also holding a machete in his hand, pursing his lips, staring sharply at the enemy's movements, as if he could rush forward anytime and anywhere, so that Uncle Arhan couldn't help but nod.
Originally, the group of cavalry that had stayed in this central place numbered about one hundred and fifty men.
Utkinhan arranged the place, and did not arrange too many people. Because according to the calculations of the Khan and the strategists, this is the farthest direction from the Great Zhou border after leaving the desert, unless this group of people is dizzy in the desert, it is impossible to go around here.
Because it was so remote, it was the least likely that people would come, and they didn't have as many people as they did in other strongholds.
It's just unexpected, this group of people who are not afraid of death actually ran to this most unlikely location.
The pursuers looked at Minobu as if they were looking at white silver, lively livestock, and countless beauties.
Because the khan said that as long as anyone can capture the two murderers of Anari Khan in the Great Zhou, he will definitely be promoted to a knighthood, enjoy glory and wealth, and be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and a hundred beauties.
These people were like chicken blood, and the people of the Mino tribe in front of them were really embarrassed, so they didn't pay attention to it at all.
So under the light of the enemy, these people still suffered losses in the end.
The sounds of fighting and roaring came from the grassland, and the wind blew, sending a strong smell of blood.
In the midst of the melee, Minobu won a crushing victory.
Although more than 100 enemies were annihilated, and a lot of horses, weapons, dry food and water were captured, nearly 200 people remained here forever.
Uncle Arhan choked up: "If it weren't for the fatigue in the desert, thirst and hunger, and the lack of weapons and equipment, we would not have sacrificed so many people here. ”
Everyone was sad. Qin Yining looked at the clansmen who were cleaning the battlefield, and couldn't help but hang his head and wipe away his tears.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they have more horses and blades, more water and dry food, and they have managed to leave the desert.
They pulled themselves together and recounted the numbers outside the desert.
Qin Yining took a sip of water and moistened his dry throat before saying to Arhan: "Uncle Arhan." I think there must be a camp of the same group around here. Everyone should take a short rest and recuperate, and when they have recovered their strength, they will find a way to raid the camp. Presumably, there will be people left behind, but we are unprepared to attack them, and everyone is relieved, and the odds are very high. As long as we win, we will have plenty of food, grass and supplies. ”
Arhan nodded again and again, and said, "We thought of one place, and I thought the same thing, we went all the way out of the desert in order to make a living for our people." Don't we want the supplies? The brothers said yes or no! ”
"That's right! If you rob the dog Khan, you don't have to feel your conscience uneasy at all! ”
"Grab him, grab him!"
The warriors who had just lost their people were inspired to hate them, thinking of the tragic deaths in their families, and they were willing to do anything that could cause trouble to the royal family.
"Good! Then let's sum it up, how to him! ”
Uncle Alhan was very appealing, and quickly blended into the crowd, calling the captain of each squad to come and study it.
In the end, it was agreed that the weaker and the healthy and strong women who had come with them would stay, and that Al Khan and Chaganbara would carry out a planned attack on the garrison with three hundred men.
When the two scouts returned and informed them of the direction of their camp, Arkhan and Chaganbara set out with three hundred men.
Harbara took the rest of the clansmen and stayed in place with Qin Yining and Lu Heng.
Qin Yining was a little worried.
But in such a thing as fighting, she is a layman after all, and she still has to trust the experience of Uncle Arhan.
Qin Yining and the two young daughters-in-law put Lu Heng off the horse. Melt the snow water in a clay pot, boil it and let it cool, and feed it to him.
Lu Heng is often in a coma these days, and his body is very weak, at this time, Qin Yining fed him water, and he couldn't feed it for a long time, and the water would overflow from the corners of his closed lips.
Qin Yining wiped the water from his chin with a handkerchief again, frowning worriedly.
If Lu Heng's situation is not good, I am afraid it will be really dangerous. They had to settle down quickly and find a way to get him medicine.
Qin Yining found a clean handkerchief and dipped it in water to help Lu Heng wipe his face, he was not in good health these days, his cheeks were already sunken thin, and the stubble on his chin was also very prickly, Qin Yining carefully wiped his face, and washed the handkerchief to wipe his hands clean.
Xu is wipe this time was too cold to the touch, and Lu Heng finally took out a little bit of consciousness from his sleep.
"Are you awake?" Qin Yining said happily: "How are you?" Drink some water, we're out of the desert! ”
Qin Yining's voice was full of joy, Lu Heng couldn't help laughing when he looked at her, his voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper, "I know, I feel that my face is clean." "If you don't get out of the desert, where will the extra water come from to scrub people?
Qin Yining laughed and brought him warm water: "Now we are not short of water, you drink more water, this water is cool boiling water, clean, you have to drink more water to get better." ”
Qin Yining helped Lu Heng up, fed him water, and soaked the captured rice crackers in hot water to soften them and fed them to him.
Lu Heng was in good spirits, and while eating, he asked about the current situation in the clan.
Qin Yining told Lu Heng about Uncle Al Khan and Chaganbala taking people to attack the enemy camp, and Lu Heng nodded with a smile: "I am relieved of your affairs." ”
"That's why you're sleeping?" Qin Yining joked with a smile.
When Lu Heng heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
After drinking plenty of water and eating hot food, Lu Heng felt that he was much better. Although he was groggy, he didn't fall asleep immediately, but wrapped in a thick cotton coat on the side, listening to Qin Yining talk about the past few days, until he couldn't hold it anymore before he fell asleep again.
When the east was white, Uncle Arhan brought good things.
They succeeded in attacking the camp and seized a lot of food and horses.
Everyone heard the news and cheered and headed towards the camp.
Qin Yining looked at the cheering Mino tribesmen, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and said, "Today, everyone will have a good life and rest, and tomorrow we will discuss and set off." ”
