Chapter 51: The Dragon Enters the Sea (6000 Collectors)
"Kill them all!" On the east bank of the Yellow River, the second and third sheepskin raft trials were still unsuccessful, and the patience of the Bank of China was also exhausted, and with an indifferent wave of his hand, Su Bumo led the Hun soldiers to kill the Qiang and their families who were responsible for building the sheepskin raft.
These people escaped with their lives because of Li You's soft-heartedness, but unfortunately they were killed by the Bank of China only a few days later! It's just that the reputation of the Han people for being equally brave and good at fighting has spread among these Qiang people.
"Give you a day, and I'll cut all the wood! If we have not crossed the river by this time tomorrow, follow them. The Bank of China said that it had given up on imitating Li You's method of crossing the river on a sheepskin raft, and returned to the old way of building a raft, at least the difficulty of making a raft was easier than that of a sheepskin raft, and the only problem was that it took more time to cut down large logs, but he had no other choice now.
The Qiang people of several surrounding tribes were driven by these Hun soldiers and desperately cut down wood! In order to send these demons across the river as soon as possible, and exchange a way of life from the hands of the Huns!
I hope it's still too late, the snowy mountains are not so easy to climb! The Bank of China said that he looked at the mountains in the distance and secretly guessed where the Han Mission was now.
He didn't expect those Han people to cross the Wusheling Ridge so quickly, and he thought that his army could intercept them in the Great Snow Mountain!
After a day and a night of hard work, these Qiang people finally repaired a few large rafts, and the Bank of China said that they came to the west bank of the Yellow River with the Hun cavalry.
"Heavenly King, they went in that direction!" The soldiers in the ranks, who were adept at tracking, quickly identified the direction in which the Han embassy was advancing based on the tracks of the horses' hooves.
"Catch up!" The Bank of China said that he felt more and more that the leader of that mission would be the great enemy of the Huns, and he had made up his mind to kill them in the snowy mountains no matter what the price was, otherwise when he returned to Chang'an after completing his mission, the Huns would probably be in great trouble!
The sound of galloping horses' hooves once again shattered the tranquility on the banks of the Yellow River, and more than 700 elites of the Xiongnu royal court rushed towards the direction of the Great Snow Mountain like the wind!
A few days later, they arrived at the camp where the Han Dynasty mission was stationed on the last night before going up the mountain, and the Bank of China said that he took the wooden stick from the hands of the guards and turned it over in the ash heap. ”
"Burn everything that doesn't work! Get ready to hit the mountain! The Bank of China said that it issued the same order as Li You, and groups of Hun soldiers turned over and dismounted and walked towards the mountain! Wrap yourself tightly in sheepskins taken from those Qiang tribes to ward off the biting cold winds!
At the same time, pray to the Kunlun God and pray that the Kunlun God can bless them to climb the mountain safely! However, it seems that the god Kunlun did not hear their prayers, or felt that their prayers were not pious enough, and just after some way up, the sky began to snow heavily; The howling cold wind swept the goose feathers and snow down on them! These Huns were struggling.
"Ahh There was a scream from the front of the team, and two Hun soldiers and a horse fell from the cliff and fell under the cliff, and it was a long time before the sound of falling to the ground was heard.
Leaning against the cliff and sticking out his head to look down from the side of the road, he saw that the two unlucky soldiers and horses had fallen into a blur of flesh and blood, and could not be distinguished! The Huns marched more and more slowly.
"Heavenly King, the wind and snow are too big, let's rest!" Dying on the battlefield in battle, Submu would not frown a little, but dying in vain like this on the march was a little unacceptable to him!
"Camp and rest!" Bank of China said with gloomy eyes! I thought about it with hatred in my heart, and I don't know how many Han people died when they climbed the mountain before! I hope the snowy mountains have swallowed them all.
"Envoy! Ten miles away, we'll go down! Father Tang Yi panted and said to Li You, although it is easier to go down the mountain than to come up the mountain, it is more dangerous! Along the way, nearly ten soldiers have already slipped off the cliff! That's a lot more than the loss when you go up the mountain! And they're running out of food.
"Where is the nearest tribe? The sons and daughters have worked hard for so long, and it's time to have a good meal! Li You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that this extremely difficult road was about to end, but another question came to him.
Although there are still 10,000 stone grains in the Tiger Talisman, with such a large amount of exercise, food alone cannot make up for the loss of physical strength! You have to have meat to eat.
Hearing this, Tangyi's father climbed a big rock next to him, looked in the direction of the mountain for a moment, pointed to the distance and said, "Envoy, there is smoke rising in front of you, judging from the number of smoke pillars, there will not be too many people in that tribe!" It's just right to replenish our food, wine, meat, and horses! ”
"Okay, you and General Pan Feng will lead people to investigate first, and I'll be there later!" Afraid that Tangyi's father would have some accidents, Li You sent Pan Feng, who had the highest force value in the mission, to protect him.
Tang Yi's father and Pan Feng led a few skilled soldiers to ride the few horses in the mission towards the direction of the rising smoke, while Li You and Chen Qingzhi slowly followed behind with the remaining soldiers.
Two hours later, everyone finally walked to the bottom of the mountain, and a vast grassland appeared in front of them, which made these soldiers who had walked for several days on the narrow mountain road suddenly brightened! From now on, I can finally move forward step by step without being careful!
"Lord, please look!" Chen Qingzhi's face was overjoyed, and he pointed to the grassland in front of him and said, "This is a vast road, and it is definitely not that there was only one small road feasible before!" When we enter this grassland, it is equivalent to a dragon entering the sea, and we can go everywhere! Even if the Huns could catch up here, they wouldn't know where we had gone! The road ahead is worry-free! ”
"That's what Ziyun said!" Li You nodded in agreement, although the front is the territory of King Hutu and King Kunxie, but in this era, their control over the territory is extremely weak, and it is impossible to control such a large territory with tens of thousands of people, as long as they can avoid the location of those big tribes! On the contrary, all kinds of bad weather are more threatening to them! Therefore, it was necessary to get enough horses and supplies for the tribe in front.
"Camp and rest, get ready to eat! Wait for Tangyi's father and General Pan to come back and then discuss countermeasures! Li You ordered, and everyone found a place to shelter from the wind and began to make a fire to cook.
Half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Tang Yi's father and Pan Feng came back with the people who went to investigate the situation, "Envoy, the tribe ahead has been investigated!" ”
