Chapter 407: Xianbei Horse Thief
The desert is like snow, the silver moon is like a hook, this dead and desolate wilderness, except for a touch of coldness, there is nothing else! It's as if you've returned to the era of chaos and famine. (Starter)
At some point, the calm of the field was broken by the sound of hurried hooves, which was extremely harsh, and if anyone was here, they would not only be surprised, but might be frightened.
In the indifferent moonlight, there were five horses, all of them tall and strong, but on the back of the horse, there was only one person, this person was dressed in black, he looked extremely capable, and his whole body was nothing but a small package behind him, but as long as he had a little common sense, he could see that this person was by no means an ordinary person.
In fact, in such a late night, the person who appeared in this desolate place was Zhou Yue, who set off from Panjin Heicheng at dusk yesterday, and it was a total of thirty hours until this moment, but at least he ran out of a distance of 1,200 miles, which is not an exaggeration to describe as traveling thousands of miles a day, and this is thanks to the extraordinary strength of the horses in the Heicheng era, these five horses were prepared for him by Liu Yue himself, and he galloped all the way to this point, without stopping, before he showed his fatigue, and changed to an ordinary horse, he would have been tired to death dozens of them.
Of course, in order to reduce the weight of the war horse, Zhou Yue deliberately included all the equipment and armor on his body into the purple quality ring, after all, just that set of yellow sand battle armor plus the tiger fanged spear weighed six hundred catties, and such a long-distance attack was simply unbearable.
"This should be the territory of the Xilin Gol League, right?"
Zhou Yue stopped and thought to himself, he came all the way, passed through the Black City of Tieling, made a detour to Tongliao, and basically ran along the highway, so he would not lose his way, and this was his target this time.
However, the entire Xilin Gol League, after the disaster, rarely had any accurate information came out, and even Li Rui could not find out anything from the two major military regions, that is to say, even the two military regions were not very clear, and the reason for this was simple, not how mysterious it was, but that this place was too vast and sparsely populated, even before the disaster, there were only four or five people per square kilometer.
It is conceivable that when the disaster broke out, such a small population, naturally, overnight, dead and wounded, you know, here in ancient times was not lonely at all, from the Qin and Han dynasties of the Xiongnu, to the Wei and Jin dynasties of Xianbei Rouran, and then to the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Turks, as well as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and the two Song Dynasty Khitan Dangxiang clan, as well as the famous Mongolian iron horse, a lively scene!
If you add the hordes of mutant black wolves, as well as all kinds of other powerful desolate beasts, it would be a miracle that someone could survive in this environment!
For example, Zhou Yue, he traveled all the way, covering 1,200 miles, except for the black city that he deliberately avoided, he didn't see a single figure at all, but the wolves encountered dozens of groups! It's hard to imagine that if you don't have some strength, it will be difficult to survive at all.
Jumping off the horse and letting the five war horses forage, while Zhou Yue himself was looking at the northwest direction, he knew that in that unknown direction, the deeper he went, the greater the chance of encountering the enemy, but this was exactly what he longed for, this was an unprecedented adventure for him, you know, from the day of the disaster, except for a few hours that day he was fighting alone, the rest of the time, he relied on the team to fight, the worst time, there were Liang Xiaoxue and Zhao Xiaoer with him, but now, He's really going to go it alone.
After resting in place for an hour, Zhou Yue continued to set off, but this time, he paid special attention to the surrounding environment, and after killing two wolves along the way, when dawn, a simple ruined county town appeared in front of him, according to the map, this should be where the West Wuzhumuqin Banner is located, this place is not qualified to become a black city, but in this county, there must be someone, because it is far away, you can see the smoke when the bonfire is lit.
As Zhou Yue expected, he was less than ten miles away from this ruined county town, and he only heard the sound of hooves in front of him, screaming and screaming, at least more than hundreds of horses rushed out like a whirlwind, the speed was extremely fast, and the riding skills were extremely exquisite, and I don't know if this was the local residents, or those ancient grassland forces.
Zhou Yue's face was calm, he reined in his war horse, and waited for a long time, just a moment later, in the midst of a shout, the hundreds of knights had already rushed to the front, all holding scimitars, wearing leather armor, shouting strange words mixed with indistinct words, neither Mongols nor Khitans, but the war horses under their crotches were all excellent.
The five war horses that Liu Yue selected for Zhou Yue are already the best choices, all of them are more than two meters and fifty, but the war horses that these guys ride, if they take out one at random, they are not inferior at all, and these knights are also big shoulders and round waists, and they are all more than two meters tall, but their faces are somewhat different from the Han people, as for their attributes, they are only Xianbei horse thieves, and the other attributes are average, and the overall strength is not much different from the red battalion vest soldiers in the Eight Banners Army!
Of course, now that the disaster has been nearly five months old, these people have already raised their level to the peak of small soldiers, level 30, so it is quite good.
It is also strange that there are very few archers among this group of horse thieves, which is very inconsistent with the way these nomads fight.
However, Zhou Yue didn't think much about it, although he wanted to ask the specific location of the Mongolian iron cavalry from these mouths, he also knew that the best way to ask was to kill!
At this time, as those Xianbei horse thieves screamed and rushed to within fifty meters, Zhou Yue jumped up directly from the back of the war horse, not even wearing armor, but took out the cold moon long knife from the storage ring, and in an instant, the moon-like knife light rose in the air, and the remnants of the human figure were screaming, only the knife light was seen, and no one was seen, and in more than ten seconds, the forty or fifty Xianbei horse thieves who rushed forward were already in a different place, and they couldn't die anymore! To deal with this kind of small miscellaneous soldiers, Zhou Yue still has his hands on it.
When the remaining Xianbei horse thieves fled in panic, Zhou Yue did not chase and kill, turned around and jumped, and jumped back on the war horse, as if nothing had happened.
But immediately after, I heard the sound of the horn in the ruined county, and countless horse thieves swept out like a tide, and the number was only no less than four or five thousand.
And it was only at this time that Zhou Yue smiled slightly, unhurriedly changed into a yellow sand suit, took off the tiger fanged spear, urged the war horse, from slow to urgent, and stepped forward without fear, he really didn't guess wrong, this is not a horse thief at all, but a defeated Black City force!
At this time, the first rays of golden sunlight in the east were already shining down, reflecting on the battle armor of Zhou Yue's whole body, it was actually brilliant and dazzling, although there was only one person, but the kind of diffuse momentum was actually terrifying and uneasy for those Xianbei horse thieves, and they couldn't step forward for a while.
However, soon, dozens of horsemen rushed out of the opposing army, and the leader was actually a two-star general, who shouted: "Who are you?" Before my Emperor Dayan, dare to be so presumptuous? ”
Zhou Yue was stunned when he heard this, but what surprised him even more was that he saw an acquaintance, an acquaintance who had disappeared for two or three months, the original head of the Chishan Independent Regiment, Tang Kun's old boss, Chu Haoran!
At the beginning, Zhou Yue cooperated with them a lot, and fought for Chishan City together, but Tang Kun and Chu Haoran did not fight for Zhou Yue, in the future, the development was weak, Tang Kun went all the way to the east, first to the Khitan royal family, and then to the Jingbei Military Region, and Chu Haoran took hundreds of thousands of refugees all the way to the north, and there was no trace, I didn't expect that he actually came here, and took refuge in the Great Yan Emperor, who was a horse thief, and he knew that it was very miserable at a glance, and he didn't know what happened to the hundreds of thousands of refugees who followed him all the way north?
Since he had met an acquaintance, Zhou Yue temporarily put away his thoughts of killing, slowly raised the mask of the Huangsha unicorn battle helmet, stared at Chu Haoran and said, "Commander Chu, don't come unharmed?" ”
Chu Haoran was shocked, but a woman beside him who was wrapped in a cyan battle armor all over her body, with a slender figure, and who had also become a one-star general, exclaimed in surprise! But then he sneered happily: It's you! Zhou Yue? Do you also have today? Why, looking at you being single, could it be that Chishan City has been lost? ”
The owner of this voice is Chu Haoran's daughter, Chu Yu, the former school flower of Chishan University, and the goddess that Zhao Dashan once had a crush.
"Yes, it's me, I can't imagine that the head of Chu, who once controlled hundreds of thousands of refugees in the entire Chishan City, turned out to be a despicable horse thief, let me ask you, what about the hundreds of thousands of refugees you were holding back at the beginning? I'm afraid that there aren't many people alive now, right? You have harmed the lives of so many innocent people for your own selfishness, may I ask, you father and daughter, don't you feel any guilt in your hearts? ”
Zhou Yue sneered, if it weren't for Chu Haoran breaking with Tang Kun in order to control greater power that day, then in Chishan, the military forces would definitely crush him Zhou Yue, although the final result does not know how it will develop, but it is better than letting those hundreds of thousands of refugees die tragically, after all, most of the more than 20,000 refugees gathered under Tang Kun's command have survived now.
"Brother Chu, who is he?"
At this time, the two-star general suddenly asked, from his attributes, Zhou Yue could see that this guy's name was Murong Lin, which involuntarily reminded him of the Murong Fu who 'used his way to return the other', although it was impossible to save it.
To that Murong Lin, Chu Haoran was very respectful, and hugged his fists and saluted back: "Hui Yu Second Prince, this person's name is Zhou Yue, I am the same clan, but his heart is cunning, selfish, and cruel and easy to kill, Chu fell for the thief's trick that day, so that he was defeated all the way, today he dared to offend Emperor Dayan Tianwei, it is really an unforgivable crime, second son, we can capture it and dedicate it to Emperor Dayan!" ”
"Great, that makes sense! However, the name Zhou Yue sounds so familiar! That Murong Lin groaned slightly, after all, Zhou Yue's current world prestige title is famous in all directions, basically, Chu Haoran They don't know Zhou Yue's current situation, but these black city forces know it.
However, that Murong Lin just groaned slightly, and his eyes immediately fell greedily on Zhou Yue's luxurious equipment, you must know that Zhou Yue's luxurious equipment is not covered, Murong Lin is also a person who knows the goods, even if he is a member of the Great Yan Imperial Family, such superb equipment has only seen a few pieces on his father, the Great Yan Emperor Murong Chui, so at this moment, the greed suddenly rises, especially Zhou Yue is just alone, if he doesn't do it at this time, when will he stay?
And if he kills this famous Zhou Yue, Murong Lin himself will also increase his prestige in the world, this kind of ****, not too much!
"Come on! Divide this thief to pieces! No mercy! ”
