Two hundred and two, the man with a broken spine
Suddenly he looked at the embarrassed Yao man on the sheepskin carpet in front of him with great interest, and his clothes, which could not be seen in his original appearance, were tossed and ragged by the escorts on the way to be brought, and his beard and hair, which had not been taken care of for a long time, were tangled into clumps, like those slaves and poor herdsmen on the grassland who were hungry and poor.
This is the tent where Dunmao lives, there is no splendid decoration and serving the slave girls on the side, but this tent is one foot five feet high, and the area is more than ten times that of ordinary tents, but the material is mediocre, it is oiled and waterproof cowhide, the only eye-catching thing is that the cowhide used in this big tent is the same color of white.
Without thousands of cowhides, it is categorically impossible to make such a large tent, and the power of the lord of the Taiqige Department is also self-evident.
is still a martial artist, and he can see the clues from the posture of this Yao man, and the appearance of the flesh and muscles that has been tempered for thousands of years is suddenly familiar.
The lord of the Taiqige tribe couldn't help but be very dissatisfied with the recklessness of his companion, obviously he was not a weak martial artist, so he was brought to a place less than three feet away from him, so he was not afraid that this was an assassin.
Shao Qing laughed to himself, it turned out to be nothing more than a dog with a broken back.
"Listen to my men, you have a great gift for me. Da Yao's official speech was not very familiar, so when he spoke, he often had to stop and think for a while.
Yu Gao, who was throwing himself on the sheepskin carpet, raised his head in fear, and the lord of the barbarians on the high seat supported his head with a leopard skin gauntlet, which was not the appearance of the ogre demon that Yao people said when they bluffed children, if the most powerful lord of the Taiqige tribe had abandoned the armor and fur on his body, his appearance would be the same as that of any old herdsman on the grassland.
It was such a person who led the coalition army of the steppe tribes to destroy the Jinju border pass and enter the country.
"The grass people are high, and they have seen the lord. Yu Gaogao, who didn't know the etiquette of the grassland people, knelt down again according to the etiquette of the official, "The grass people asked for something before giving gifts, and asked the lord to agree." ”
This is a completely stupid thing, in the face of the lord of the Taiqige Clan, even if he doesn't have a seizure, the samurai around him will draw his sword and slash him alive.
As Toruba was about to draw his sword and stride forward to chop this disrespectful Yao man alive, there was a burst of laughter from the high seat: "Let him say, Toruba should not be in a hurry to stain the sheepskin blanket in my tent. ”
The last person who dared to ask him in person was Bal Luo Batu, who was tired of making him for a woman, and finally promised that there would be more nobleman's daughter in the tent of this confidant.
"I also ask the lord to order that the lives of the old fathers, wives and children of the grass people be saved when the city is broken. Yu Gaogao once again lay down very low, "If the grass people dare to say such things, the gifts they bring will not disappoint the army." ”
"If it's a golden silk kitsch plaything, you should think about how to protect your head. Suddenly, he squinted his eyes and looked at the prostrate Yao man in front of him, "You don't look like you have these things." ”
"What does the lord think, how about taking the land of Jinju as a courtesy?"
Nest and Ladd's pupils are constricted.
....
The guards of the Kucha family stopped their horses less than twenty miles from the city, and although the two men in front of them were only three hundred paces away, and if they had strong bows and arrows when they got closer, they could have shot them, but the leader restrained their horses, and the people around them also stopped.
"I can't catch up with those two Yaoren. The leader turned his horse's head, "Go back and bring that Yao man back, maybe it will make us feel better." ”
At first, he thought that he would be able to catch up with the two fleeing men after only a distance of one or twenty miles, but since it was the white horse, the two of them rode together, and they categorically could not catch up.
"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, the barbarians stopped their horses and stopped chasing!" Liu Ziyi, who was sitting behind Wei Changpan on horseback, glanced back and was overjoyed, and the more than 20 horsemen turned their heads with their horses.
Liu Ziyi's horse could no longer withstand such a fierce pursuit, and he stumbled and threw Liu Ziyi off the horse, and the two had to ride Wei Changpan's white horse together.
The two of them ran out for several miles with a horse, and they could already see the city gate tower at the head of the city with their eyes far away, they dismounted in a depression, and then more than ten miles of road was the city of Yuancheng, although the barbarians said that they had not yet attacked the city in a big way, but the small group of rangers came and went, and the two of them had no spare strength to fight with them, so it was better to see how the situation was from a distance.
"Brother Wei, the grace of saving your life is unforgettable. Liu Ziyi solemnly bowed to Wei Changpan, and then touched his neck with his hand, "The surnamed Liu categorically didn't expect that Brother Wei would be willing to turn the horse's head and come back to save me when he saw my horse lose its front hooves, if it weren't for this, Ziyi is afraid that his head will be hanging on the edge of the barbarian saddle now." ”
"Brother Ziyi, thank me, it's better to thank this horse. Wei Changpan stroked the back of the white horse beside him, and carried the two of them for such a long distance, but the horse seemed to have strength left, "Without this horse's divine horse, we can't get out." ”
"Obviously I'm still a lazy guy who doesn't want to go all the way, how can I suddenly have the talent to travel thousands of miles a day?"
Liu Ziyi wanted to step forward and touch the mane of the Luma horse, but he was almost kicked by the raised hind hooves, "Good guy, it's still fierce." ”
He jumped back to avoid the hoof, and he was not annoyed, and laughed, "You saved the life of the master, and the master can't be as knowledgeable as you." ”
The white horse snorted, shook the ponytail, and let out a loud fart, spraying Liu Ziyi's face, slightly leaning towards the horse's neck, looking at him covering his mouth and nose and retreating again and again, baring his teeth.
Liu Ziyi, who found something from his arms, stuffed the things in his hand to Wei Changpan, "It's a shame that I didn't forget to carry a few pieces of kudzu when I left, and I couldn't make a fire, so I would just bite two bites." ”
They have been living for most of the day The water and rice have not been eaten, and the raw kudzu root has not been peeled with a knife and stuffed into the mouth to gnaw until the small half, and the stinging and pricking are a little pricked in the tongue, but the taste is sweet, and they don't care whether they are raw or cooked, and they swallow it in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Wei, do you think this horse eats kudzu?"
Before Wei Changpan could stop it, Liu Ziyi took out another piece of kudzu and stuffed it into the horse's mouth, the horse eats grass and oats, how can the kudzu be eaten? Unexpectedly, the Lu horse sniffed the kudzu and chewed the kudzu into his stomach, humming with satisfaction.
"It's gone, it's gone. Liu Ziyi spread his hands and pulled his clothes to show that he had nothing to eat, and Lu, who had a slight impression of him, rolled a rather human white eye, lowered his head and arched on the ground, looking for some hay to fill his belly, but obviously found nothing, and hissed softly in frustration.
The camp where the state army was stationed outside the wall on the north side of the city has been abandoned, and the men and horses of the Jinju state army in the city have been doing some work to scold the barbarian rangers who have come to lure the barbarians. Obviously, the steppe people are far less profitable than the Yao people in terms of moving, and after a few scolding battles, there are only feather arrows shot at the head of the city.
The sergeants on duty on the north city wall are honestly shrunk under the battlements, chattering twenty or thirty paces away, and the patrolling colonels also turn a blind eye, the barbarians have seen the accuracy of bows and arrows these days, and now the barbarians have no action to attack the city, there is no need for these sergeants to poke their heads out to find shots, just to see if anyone is still secretly napping while on duty.
"There's cavalry coming! there's cavalry!" I don't know who shouted first, and almost the whole side of the northern wall of the city was alarmed, and the barbarians had tried several times to deceive the gate when it was opened and closed while the light cavalry maneuver had been used to open the gate, but since then the gate can no longer be opened.
And Wei Wei, the captain of the city gate of Yuancheng, took dozens of soldiers of the city gate captain to the city gate tower and looked into the distance, and saw the two of them riding together in the distance, and he wondered a little in his heart, when was this barbarian so cold, just two people, how could many horses not be used?
"Lord Captain, this barbarian swaggered over, obviously looking down on our bow and arrow, yesterday there was a veteran of the southern city wall who had been using a bed crossbow for thirty years and was just transferred. The sergeant beside him had an idea in Wei Wei's ear, "No matter how much armor her mother wears, the bed crossbow will be broken into eight pieces." ”
This kind of crossbow driven by machine and animal power is an excellent weapon whether it is attacking or defending the city, it can shoot arrows to a place five hundred steps away, the shield armor can not be blocked, and the whole city is only twelve beds, this northern city wall is a lot, accounting for six of the beds, but the crossbow arrows are limited, each is only a hundred, it seems to be a lot, and the war is used up together is a few days.
"A few taels of silver and an arrow, used to shoot two barbarians?" Wei Wei gave a chestnut to the sergeant beside him, "Come and wait here for a few archery skills who can shoot a hard bow, wait here first, see what these two barbarians are going to do, and if there is something wrong, shoot them with arrows." ”
"This barbarian doesn't know if his head is filled with horse manure, and he dares to come to the state city to show off his power after breaking two small cities..."
The sergeant muttered to gather the soldiers in the city who were good at archery, if it weren't for Wei Wei saying that it would take some time, how could they still have the survival of these two barbarians.
"Stop!"
Wei Wei roared loudly on the city gate tower, and more than ten Zhang Gong sergeants flashed out in the gap between the battlements beside him, just waiting for Captain Wei to give the order to release arrows.
Seeing the mounts of the two, even Wei Wei couldn't help but admire, in the end, only the grasslands in the north will breed such a divine horse, at first glance it looks skinny and has nothing to look at, and then look at the horse's eyes are full of aura, and the grassland horses with wide chests and long legs are everywhere, but there is such an aura, which is really rare in the world.
"General, we are the Jinzhou martial artists sent by General Song to the north!"
When they shouted this, the two of them vomited turbidity in their hearts, and they were very happy.
