The wolf is not chased by the deer
"Young master, run!"
With a terrible sound, an old general roared to a young knight with the last trace of strength, and after the sound of running words fell, the old general was stabbed into the chest by a horse lance, and the blood mist sprayed, and he fell off his horse slightly.
"Division...... Master!"
A young knight in a broken armor choked up and sobbed, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he found that there was nothing behind him.
The whispers still echoed in the sound of horses' hooves.
I only heard
"Division...... Master.......
Master.......
Parent ......."
The sound travels farther and farther and more blurred, and reality and illusion are intertwined.
It turned out that the old general's voice had been five or six days ago. And this is nothing more than a dream, a dream of déjà vu......
In front of him he was lying on the back of a horse that was still walking at a distance, and behind him were six or seven knights, each covered in blood and scars, and at a glance it was full of embarrassment and hardship.
The young knight felt the slightest bit wrong and touched his face.
The eyes of the dream were already wet, and a long green strip came out of his cheeks.
Again, the afterglow of the nightmare is not over.
This knight's surname is Ao, a single name is Han, is the eldest son of the Han generation in the "Yan Han Lingfeng" of the Ao family in the eight great families of the empire, Ao Yan Dong is his uncle, Ao Shi is his father, one is the prince of the dynasty, and the other is the commander of the three armies in the army, and his background is not high. However, at this time, it was a failure.
Ao Han has been entangled with the most prominent family in the empire, the Zhuola family, that is, the royal family of the dynasty, and met Her Royal Highness Princess Sosia when he was a teenager, and Her Royal Highness Princess Soxia is the daughter of the fourth emperor, who is regarded as the "Pearl of the Sunset", but I don't want it to be because of this affair that he or even their family was killed.
Originally, an affair was not enough to kill people, but the fourth emperor made a decree before his death, and there were few words on the will: "Marry Ao Han, the son of General Wu'an, and Her Royal Highness Princess Sosia of the empire in front of the Beast God Temple, and the ceremony will be held three years later, everything will be simple, and there will be a name for everything", which means that you are engaged first and then married.
Let's not talk about how surprised the Ao family was when they heard the news, but the Chloe family heard it like the sky was falling, everyone knows that the Ao family originated from the ministers of the ancient country in the East, and the Chloe family originated from the prince of the imprint empire in Dongzhou, and the Ao family has doubts about the origin of the Chloe family since a long time, and has questioned the remarks of the Chloe family several times.
Chloe has a desire to befriend the royal family, and Twilight's son has been coveting Princess Sothia's beauty since the beginning of his love, and he has long wanted to take down the princess, and he has been giving several courtesies for several days without stopping. Now by this will put in front of the door, all hearts are like ashes, the Ao family married the royal family, it can be said that it is a symbol of the combination of military and government, since then the generation of military generals and generations of royal Zhuo La clan have become in-laws, even if the Ao family does not produce a regent, at least the restriction that the Ao family has never interfered in politics for generations, and it is the turn of the Ao Han generation to at least be a fiefdom of the imperial prince, their Chloe family has influenced the politics of the empire for many years, and because of the "non-interference in politics" of the Ao family The restrictions have always been to stabilize their family, but now that the situation has changed overnight, why should they fight with the Ao family.
Therefore, on the one hand, the patriarch of the Chloe family doubted the will, on the other hand, he co-opted the courtiers and forces that could not deal with the Ao family in the past, and tried to control Her Royal Highness the princess. Their lies made all those who believed and those who did not choose to believe when they took a stand, the majesty of the first emperor was gone, the arrogant winter and the proud world, a prince and a general, were sent to the dungeon by the group of meat-eating politicians when they maintained the emperor's legacy.
But Ao Han, who was far away in the west, didn't know about these things, he just felt that his father couldn't commit many crimes, so he wanted to go back to Beijing to avenge his father. But even if Ao Han knew, what would he do? From childhood to adulthood, he grew up in military management, and his father and family members taught him to be honest and selfless, even to the point of being ruthless.
He had never been exposed to a struggle for power, and neither had their entire family. I don't know that I need to rely on the power of the relationship to consolidate my position, and I don't know how to bribe others to make the other party accept, he will only use what he thinks is a very direct way to try to rescue his father from prison first. Then sneak to the capital to find out the truth, and finally the truth is revealed and the culprit is revealed. As a last resort, he will never use the army to force the palace.
But what they didn't expect was that the Chloe family was much more ruthless than them, and they came into contact with one decree after another. The former decree was to remove the military power of the Proud General, and the latter decree was to imprison the Proud Prisoner General, and before the decree was issued, he sent troops to surround the Proud King's Mansion in the imperial capital, and put the Proud Princes under house arrest. After the greatest threat of the Proud Prince, the Chloe family became more and more rampant, and directly sent their own descendants, in the name of the Holy Decree, to the Avell Defense Line outside the Great Wall in the western border of the empire, to take over the military power of his proud general. And escorted Ao Han back.
And in the past few days, he has followed the knights brought by Meng Yi to fight his way out of the siege from the outskirts of Eivel, and along the way, the soldiers of the Chloe family have been chasing and intercepting the shop, and the young marshal and the rest of the soldiers are already covered with scars, and blood stains the armor red. The days of the outlaw journey made the young marshal physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't even know that he had fallen asleep unconsciously.
It was the soldiers who escorted him to escape with the young marshal who broke out of the encirclement, and he used to obey the orders of the old general Meng Yi, but now he ...... They probably don't know whose orders to listen to.
"The young marshal is awake?"
A particularly tall and burly knight beside him noticed the young marshal's unusual movements, and asked without thinking.
Although I know that this sentence is nonsense, but in this time of crisis, this is the only sentence that is not bad news.
The young marshal snorted, indicating that he had woken up. But the environment in front of him has changed greatly, the boundless yellow sand has been replaced by a green mountain col, the blazing heat in the sky is gone, and for a time the clouds are thick, and several cold winds are blowing, and it is about to rain.
In this case, it is not very good to be covered in the rain with knife wounds, and once the wound is infected, it will be particularly troublesome to deal with.
"Where is this?"
The young marshal asked the general next to him, in the breeze, the young marshal carefully saw that his spread forehead was tied with a strip of cloth with vertical eyes, the young marshal was shocked, he turned out to be the "three-eyed khan" of the Liang Khanate, the black bone guard of the ebony Su, the famous Mobei wolf rider.
The reinforcements invited by Meng Yi turned out to be the world-famous Mobei Grassland Mobei Wolf Rider!
But seeing his thick mustache and the eyes that seemed to have barbs, although this person usually has a fierce face that everyone avoids, but at this very time it is a lot safer, although the general's beard is white, but the domineering between his eyebrows is naturally revealed, and he thinks that he is also a figure in the army.
The general ignored the blood and knife wounds on his hands, raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead: "Let me introduce the young marshal." This place is the suburb of Giant Bear Village, and it is not far from the front of Giant Bear Village, where most of the people who live here are descendants of the Giant Bear Country that was destroyed in the past, so it is called Little Bear Village. The villagers of Giant Bear Village worship a giant bear, so if you see a bear, don't look at them and don't make any disrespectful gestures to them! The Crowe Dog Thief's bucket has been dumped by some of our horses in the desert on the outskirts, and we can take a break here and buy some arrowheads from the blacksmith here, just ...... Hey"
The young marshal was surprised to find that this cool man was so proficient in his native language, and unconsciously the young marshal felt that this person seemed to have heard of it somewhere.
Although his accent still seemed to have a little bit of the feeling that Muskerhan's throat and tongue were fighting, but as far as he had just spoken, he was not only bold and generous, but also subdued, and he had a feeling of doubting whether he was a transgressor.
But the general's tone was wrong, although the young marshal did not understand the language habits of the Muskkhan and their language, but in the process of listening, a person with a relaxed tone spoke completely different from a person who seemed to be worried.
At that moment, curiosity grew in his heart, so he imitated his father's tone and asked:
"Why is the general sighing?"
"This ....."
The general stopped talking
"The general, but it doesn't hurt to say it"
The general was again hesitant
"But this ...... No, this can't be said, it will disturb the morale of the army!" he said and looked at a few brothers around him, and several knights were also silent, and the atmosphere was a lot lower for a while.
Ao Han looked at everyone's expressions, although he didn't understand why everyone was so depressed, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart
So he urged even more:
"General, don't hesitate, please come quickly!"
The general held his face, his eyes seemed to be a little decisive, and he bowed his head and said:
"Alas, young marshal, we ..... of food, fresh water, and ...... There wasn't even much left of the entanglement, and we should have concentrated our supplies if we had known that Chloe's gang of dog thieves had set up an ambush on the road, but it was precisely during the division of troops just now that we ...... We have lost the food and water that we have prepared for several days, and now the prices of the whole Rossi are skyrocketing, and I am afraid that we will not be able to buy much food with this little money. ”
The blood stains on the old general's face that had dried up were like some kind of bad sticky substance sticking to his face, and he didn't care about it, but when he talked about military supplies, his whole face began to turn red, and he held back for a long time before he said it.
"You mean we're running out of food?"
Ao Han was surprised, his voice couldn't help but be a little cold, the running for days has made the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted, it is the time to replenish their strength, recover their state, regroup and continue to fight is the common expectation in the hearts of every soldier. And at this very dangerous moment, Ao Han was originally unwilling to have any forks.
The soldiers who fought bloodily had no food, how could the battle be fought?
The general did not dare to answer, only dared to speak.
"The old man is guilty, he shouldn't claim it without permission, causing the young marshal to starve with us as well......"
Ao Han opened his eyes, looked at him and sighed, and said angrily and coldly, not knowing whether to be sad, angry or sad in his heart.
"You are not guilty. ”
The old general has always been straightforward, even if he doesn't eat a meal, or he doesn't eat a few meals in a row, he won't feel any grievances, but the young marshal is in the stage of growing his body, and not eating a meal has a very big impact on his body, not to mention that there is a group of partners around him who have just killed the enemy desperately for the young marshal. Even in this crisis situation of chaos and being chased and killed everywhere, even if people can forget to eat, their stomachs will not.
When the old general heard the three words "you are not guilty" in his heart, his heart was even more choked, and his tone became sad, thinking that the young marshal was magnanimous and didn't care about himself, how could he really think that he was innocent, and his heart couldn't help but be grateful, self-blame, and guilt surging up together.
"No, young marshal, the old man is guilty, the old man is guilty, the old man is sorry for General Meng Yi, and even more sorry for General Aoshi. It's all because I didn't finish checking the escort route, and I didn't expect to kill a pack of wild dogs halfway, which caused General Meng Yi to be trapped, and the supplies were lost again, and now the soldiers are starving and beware of Chloe's gang of dog thieves. Ahh
At this time, the general jumped off his horse and pulled the horse with Ao Han in tears.
Listening to him, he suddenly saw him raise his right palm and slap down on his right cheek, with a loud bang, Ao Han and the others felt a pain just by listening to it.
Ao Han saw that he was crying very sadly and heavily, and a trace of sympathy could not help but rise in his heart, and he hurriedly drove over.
"General, why are you doing this? I don't blame you, how can you ..... yourself?"
"I feel guilty, if I had checked a little more closely, maybe there wouldn't have been so many changes. Speaking of which, it's mostly up to me...... I was the best scout rider in ..... Marshal, but I didn't expect that because of my negligence, I would fail to live up to Dashuai's trust and not be able to complete the task he gave me. Ahh
When he said, "I am the best scout rider of Dashuai", he was like abandoning his husband after years of wandering and seeing his husband's wife when he changed his mind, and his heart was moved, joyful and self-reproachful.
Actually, things can't be completely blamed on him, where can the scouts on the real battlefield be like in the brain-dead TV series, as soon as they come in from outside the tent, they shout that a large number of enemy movements have been found in such and such directions, and in the field at night, as long as the ambush people are silent and hide in the woods, who knows?
Just like during the Anti-Japanese Period, when the Japanese army passed through the cornfield at night, some Japanese soldiers were relieved of the cornfield, and they never found the Eighth Route Army hidden in the cornfield. You must know that the distance between them at that time was not even a meter.
However, this sentence "Dashuai's best scout ride" reminded Ao Han, and his chest couldn't help but rise and fall, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy in his heart:
"You are General Montaigne, the younger brother of General Montaigne? You are Montaigne, you are the eagle-eyed wolf!
It turned out that General Meng Yi also had a younger brother in his family, and his younger brother was born with amazing eyesight, after General Meng Yi was blinded by a stray arrow in the battlefield, that is, after the name "one-eyed wolf" sounded, his younger brother acted as his brother's eyes, on the battlefield one is a veteran who begs for a living on horseback all the year round, and one is a "hawkeye" who is good at shooting and hunting Hunter, was favored by the marshal and proud at the same time, one was promoted to the left general, and the other was promoted to the commander of the reconnaissance cavalry battalion, who had both the elder brother's many years of experience and the younger brother's eagle eye, and could always anticipate the enemy's opportunity to be the first, and he was invincible in a battle for a while.
"I'm Hawkeye, I'm Hawkeye, young marshal! I'm guilty, I don't have the face to see my brother, I don't have the face to see the handsome!"
Ao Han saw that he continued to cry bitterly, and he didn't mean it in his heart. After thinking about it in a blink of an eye, although he did have the crime of negligence, he should have been punished, but now he is at a critical moment, and he himself was rescued from the sea of blood by them.
"Pedal, pedal, pedal......."
Ao Han was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted:
"It's not good, it's Chloe's villains, old general, old general!"
I saw a cavalry riding brown and red horses in the jungle behind me, their armor and spears were extremely bright, the horses were strong and powerful, and they narrowed the distance of more than 50 steps in the blink of an eye, even so, these horses were only a little better than the horses on the market in the Empire, and compared to the Eagle Lien War Horse of the Black Bone Guard, it was too poor even to breed.
And among the knights brought by General Meng Yi, none of them rode the Gripen war horse, because the Gripen war horse was only used for the cruel war in the west, and it can be said that the gold is so expensive that even he himself could not get one from the military for personal use.
If they were to ride the Gripen warhorse, these heels behind him would not be able to keep up with him even if they were fast horses and whips.
The old general was still crying to himself, ignoring the cavalry behind him, but Ao Han was anxious, thinking to himself that this great enemy is now, why are you still here, don't hurry up and prepare for battle, and when the cavalry approaches him, it will be too late
"Old general, get on your horse and run away! If you don't escape, it's too late."
Ao Han deliberately provoked him, but he never thought that the old general would not move at all, and muttered: "We ......"
While talking and holding Ao Han's horse, Ao Han was horrified in his heart, thinking: Are you trying to murder me?
So he quickly pulled the reins of the horse, and made a gesture to break free from the big hand.
"Traitor Ao Han, the emperor ordered you to enter Sunset City with the escort team, you dare to resist the order!
Chloe's soldiers quickly surrounded Ao Han and his group, and one of the captains at the head said in a sinister voice.
Ao Han glanced at General Montaigne, only to see that the latter was silent and did not raise his head, thinking that you are weak-hearted, I still think you are reliable before.
"Who are you? You are the same party who rescued Ao Han! Come, take them down for me!"
Twenty knights carrying their spears and riding their horses towards Montaigne's knights, at this time there were only seven horsemen on Aohan's side, and all of them were wounded, while Chloe's cavalry numbered twenty-three, more than three times the number, and the captain at the head was even more fat and strong, and powerful.
At this moment, the old General Montaigne shouted: "Do it!"
The knights around him reacted instantly, only to see three of them shoot arrows, and two of them pulled out their scabbards and rushed towards the captain, although there were only two horses, but the indomitable posture and the fearless courage were also not to be underestimated.
Ao Han was shocked for a while, the number of people was so disparity, and he was surrounded by them, thinking that this was not looking for death.
But there was inevitably luck in his heart, and he muttered that General Montaigne had no intention of harming me, and he was not afraid of danger, and maybe he would have some strange tricks.
"Hehe, dare to do it, kill me without mercy!"
When the lieutenant saw this, he sneered, and as he spoke, he took his sword from his waist and wanted to charge at the two horsemen.
Ao Han couldn't help but be nervous in his heart, thinking that this lieutenant could command twenty or thirty people, and dared to fight alone, he must have learned martial arts, and if he can be in the army, his martial arts must not be low, and the two knights are afraid that they will not be able to take him for a while, and when the surrounding officers and soldiers notice it, they will definitely have no chance of winning.
"Young marshal, do you know what is the motto of Mobei Blue Wolf Rider?"
"Huh?
Ao Han was anxious when he suddenly heard Montaigne asking him under his horse, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. But seeing that the two knights in front of him suddenly split into two ends, they actually ran towards him, as if they knew that they were invincible, and retreated.
"Whoosh"
There was a sharp sound, like a long dragon breaking through the air, an arrow off the string, shooting out from under Ao Han's body, and the next moment I saw an arrow in the center of the captain's forehead, and his strong body fell back and fell off the horse.
The people on both sides were shocked, staring blankly at the direction where the lieutenant had fallen, and for a while they were silent.
When I was looking at General Montaigne, I saw that he was stretching his arms and drawing a bow, his expression was subtle, and there was an indescribable heroic posture in his anticipation.
He slurred word by word, as if with incomparable majesty.
"The wolf is not chased by the deer"
Ao Han looked at it carefully, and he couldn't imagine that this general, who was still crying and shouting guilt under his horse just now, was so powerful, and it happened in that moment.
After the old general shot the captain, the morale of the rest of the Chloe cavalry was greatly reduced, and they were all at a loss, and General Montaigne shot four people with a bow in a row at this time, all of them were shot in the forehead, killing them with one blow. The other party finally knew Montaigne's strength, and wanted to take advantage of the large number of people to take down Montaigne's tricky figure first, Montaigne had already flown to grab a horse, threw the people on horseback out of the old distance, and distanced themselves from them, and the rest of the Mobei riders also had their own gains, three archery knights each shot two, two knights with knives, one after a detour also killed one and then grabbed a spear, in the chaos of the 23 Chloe soldiers were thrown around by 6 Mobei horses, Mobei Riders were not injured at all, and after a while, the number of both sides was balanced, both sides were 7。 And the remaining 7 Chloe soldiers were already trembling, and they couldn't even hold their spears steadily, so they hurriedly dropped their weapons, obviously frightened.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I surrender, we surrender! If the hero wants us to be a cow and a horse, he can be a cow and a horse, don't kill me! I still have an eighty-year-old mother at home, and I have children waiting to be fed, and I don't want to die!"
Seeing that the situation had been controlled, it didn't take more than ten minutes before and after, but this short moment was stretched indefinitely in Ao Han's eyes. He saw Mobei jumping up and down in a sea of people three times his size, rushing left and right, it was really like a wolf entering a herd of deer, extremely fierce, even if the enemy held a good shield and war spear in his hand, and wore a beautiful armor, he could not escape the fate of being slaughtered.
"Young marshal, young marshal!"
"Huh, old ....... General Meng called me?" Ao Han quickly recovered from his sluggishness, and he almost took Montaigne in front of him for his master, General Meng Yi, although both were surnamed Meng and were brothers in the same family.
"Young marshal, what do you think these people should do?"
Ao Han thought for a while, and muttered, Do you want me to personally dispose of these soldiers, so that I can personally experience the feeling of killing people with my own hands? Although the army has always advocated this way of opening bags for new soldiers, but then I thought that I am really stupid, this is not in the army, and this is not the first time I have killed people, no! Where are those thieves worthy of being called human beings; on the contrary, General Montaigne participated in the whole battle and killed the enemy, and the person who should really decide how to deal with them should be General Montaigne. Ask Montaigne right now:
"What does the general think?" Sure enough, the general looked at the remnants of Chloe's defeated generals, and did not speak, but just made a gesture at the neck, and Ao Han immediately understood.
"Just do it the way the general does"
After saying that, he turned his head, only to hear a wail behind him, and when he turned back, the ground was already full of corpses, and the remaining seven people were all executed and died.
"Why did you kill them?" asked Ao Han after the other general got on his horse.
The general glanced at him, then looked at the pile of Jingguan that was piled up high, and said with a smile: "They, they are all lackeys raised by the Chloe family, they only know how to oppress the weak and only know how to find women and be chic, I think it's like no training, it's a drag to keep this kind of garbage, maybe when you bite back, it's better to kill them all."
Ao Han only felt that something was wrong, under the influence of his father's military law, he gradually became unsympathetic to others, and everything was based on military law.
"But in this case, it doesn't conform to the rules of the army, which is to control them with fear and advantage, and when the enemy attacks, they can be the vanguard for us, wouldn't it be better"
"This ...... It's a good idea, but I always feel wrong, and I'm surrounded by a group of people who may turn against me at any time, like cow lice stuck to a cow."
"That's because you don't understand military law, you don't understand the social relations between people, Uncle Hawkeye!"
Ao Han chuckled, but unconsciously called General Montaigne Uncle Hawkeye.
When Montaigne heard this, his heart was shocked, and his tone was ....... It's completely no different from Dashuai.
Seeing that his subordinates had looted all the supplies, the general bowed down and dismounted and came to the front of Jingguan, as did the other Mobei riders, Ao Han was puzzled in his heart, and muttered: Everyone has been killed and robbed, why don't you stay still, do you still want to worship them on the spot. So the curious Imperial Horse went over to take a look, only to see that General Montaigne was solemn, solemnly took the carved wooden plaque in the hand of a knight, took out the fist blade in his arms under the gaze of all the knights, and carved a few words on the wooden plaque, and then saw them invariably raise the fist blade in front of his chest, and heard them whisper in unison: "Heavenly Punishment!"
