Chapter 221: Self-Defeat
"Xinu, what new punishment do you Han people have?"
There was a riot in the begging mountain mines, and Ao Deng, the king of the right valley of the Huns, in order to kill a hundred and make an example, arrested Kunlun Nu and others, and planned to be executed in public.
Of course, the Xiongnu also had cruel punishments, but Ao Deng was tired of seeing it, so he asked a Han slave.
"The little one is lonely and unheard, and he knows neither punishment nor punishment." Xi Nu replied lightly when he heard this.
Xinu's surname is Ye Guanting, a native of Anding County, more than 20 years old, is a scholar, because he was captured by the Hu people by the stream, and sold to the Xiongnu royal court, so he is called "Xinu".
Useless is a scholar, in this troubled world, what is the use of reading? What is the use of a scholar? Ye Tingguan was full of wealth, but he could only return to his hometown to cultivate, and the Hu people went south to plunder the Central Plains, and were taken captive to the northern grasslands.
Because Ye Guanting was literate and hyphenated, he was quite appreciated by Ao Deng, the king of the Xiongnu Right Valley, so he kept him by his side as a military Chinese book, but Ye Guanting's identity was still a slave.
"Xinnu, if you refuse to say more, you will be guilty of the same sin with him." Hearing this, Ao Deng pointed to the Kunlun slave who was tied to the execution table, and said coldly.
"Right Valley Liwang..." Ye Guanting hesitated for a long time, and in desperation, he spoke: "The great opening of the ancients, for hanging, beheading, slashing, stinging, car cracking, abandonment of the city, etc., is extremely cruel, every piece is a tragedy in the world, the Ming Duke should be cautious and fair, and be merciful to the innocent..."
"Needless to say, it's long-winded." Ao Deng didn't wait for Ye Guanting to finish speaking, then waved his hand and interrupted, "Punishment? I've heard, well, it's a punishment, someone comes, it's executed."
Ye Guanting advised, Ao Deng was very impatient, but he did not blame him.
There are too many rude people around Ao Deng, and such a literate person makes Ao Deng feel extremely rare, and at the same time, he is also a little proud in front of the Hun nobles.
The so-called punishment is a very cruel punishment that cuts people to death by a thousand cuts.
Ye Guanting had no choice but to shrink next to a haystack again, sat on the ground, raised his head and sighed, not daring to look at the Kunlun slave tied to the execution table.
"Lord Liwang of the Right Valley, what is the punishment?" Ao Deng knew about the punishment, but the warriors under his command didn't know, so a Hun warrior leader stepped forward and asked.
"Haven't you broken the sheep or cattle during the sacrifice?" Odon asked rhetorically, glaring at the leader.
A group of Hun warriors suddenly realized, and hurriedly went down to prepare for the execution, and Ao Deng also ordered people to prepare sacrifices.
It would be a pity for such a strong slave to be put to death, so Ao Deng planned to make an example of both the sacrifice and the sacrifice.
The use of human sacrifice to the gods is a human sacrifice.
According to the customs of the Xiongnu, all prisoners were usually taken by women as female slaves, and children were adopted or killed, while some men were sacrificed to the gods and ancestors, and some were reduced to slaves.
After a while, as soon as the items were ready, several Hun warriors walked onto the execution platform with knives, preparing to execute the Kunlun slaves.
The black and strong Kunlun slave was chained to the bloodstained execution table by the iron rope, looking at the west with angry eyes, but not saying a word.
Kunlun Nu was originally a person from the green mountains in the west, and also had a warm family, the parents were kind, and the children were filial, but one day the incident happened, Qiang Hu broke into the house, killed his elderly parents, the Kunlun Nu brothers and sisters were taken captive, at this time the sister has no news, and the hope of surviving in the world is extremely slim, Kunlun Nu was resold several times and sold to the northern grassland.
Kunlunnu's life experience was extremely miserable, but at this time he was brutally executed by the fierce Huns in public.
"Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the camp, like thunder, and like the sky and the earth cracking, which immediately stunned everyone in the camp, and they didn't know what had happened.
"What's going on?" Ao Deng, the king of the right valley who was preparing to sacrifice, was also taken aback when he saw this, threw away the sacrificial things, and asked loudly after holding a scimitar in his hand.
At this time, everyone was already faintly aware of the sound of the galloping horses, and they had even heard the sound of some horses' hooves hitting the ground.
Could it be the cavalry of a rival tribe attacking? Ao Deng and the others thought together
Arrive.
"Lord Liwang of the Right Valley..." At this moment, one of Ao Deng's subordinates rushed to the front of the tent and reported to Ao Dengyu: "Yes... Enemy attack battalion, there is an enemy ... Raid the camp."
"Who? How many soldiers are there?"
On the grassland, it is common for each other to fight each other, so Ao Deng didn't seem to be too flustered, turned over his horse, and asked loudly with a scimitar.
"I don't know... Where are the soldiers and horses?" Ao Deng's men stammered in reply, "The dust is overwhelming, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are, but according to small estimates, they are only a few hundred at most."
No matter how bluff you are, you can't escape the eyes of the Huns who have lived on the grassland for a long time, especially in the grassland of Yima Pingchuan.
"Hundreds? Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Ao Deng laughed angrily, and after laughing a few times, he raised his scimitar and roared loudly, "The little wolf wants to come and steal our lambs, and the warriors are on their horses to meet the enemy!"
At this time, in addition to more than 1,000 cavalry, there were thousands of slaves in Aoden's battalion, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were distributed everywhere.
Ao Deng is also a brave general of the Huns, otherwise Duo Yongjian would not have left him to guard the royal court, and at the same time, Ao Deng is still quite confident in his own force.
When more than 1,000 Hun cavalry heard this, they turned over their horses in a mess and rushed out of the camp with Ao Deng in their arms.
Who is coming? Ye Guanting, who was huddled next to the horse feed, also looked up curiously at the outside of the tent, and then lowered his head again, looking listless.
Who is here, and what does it have to do with Ye Guanting? Mutual vendetta and prostitution between tribes, Ye Guanting has long been accustomed to seeing it, even if Ye Guanting is taken away by someone who comes, he will not be very surprised, and he will not be able to get rid of his slavery.
The worst outcome is nothing more than death, which is better than life as it is now.
Kunlun Nu is not much different from Ye Guanting, who is here, can he change his tragic fate? The answer is no, at least that's what Kunlun Nu thinks.

"Hehu! Hehu! Hohoo!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Horse thieves are in the realm, kill me!"
When Ao Deng, the king of the right valley of the Huns, led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to rush out of the camp, the opposing cavalry was already rushing to the front.
Sure enough, it was a bluff, Ao Deng saw that the cavalry rushing over caused a lot of momentum, but in fact there were not many people, but more than 100 horsemen, isn't it beyond his strength? So Ao Deng was very relieved, raised his sword and shouted: "Xie Li and Su Ertu each lead two hundred men and horses, outflank them left and right, and no one is allowed to leave!"
Little horse thief, even this little bit of centaurs, dare to rush to the camp? Ao Deng mistook Zhou Fugui and other Yan soldiers for horse thieves.
Kill half, capture half, so that Ao Deng will have more slaves.
After receiving the order, the two Xiongnu generals of Xiali and Suertu each ordered 200 men and horses, rushed out from the middle road, and went away on the left and right wings, intending to outflank and annihilate this "horse thief".
Outflanking on both flanks and breaking through in the middle is a means or tactic used by cavalry.
"Whew! Whoa!"
The two Hun generals had just rushed out of their own formation, and before they were separated, the two arrows came with a palpitating sound of breaking through the air.
Before the two sides entered the range of bows and arrows, the other party actually fired their bows and arrows? In this way, the Hun soldiers couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, they were only a little surprised, the reason is that such a long-distance bow and arrow is not very useful, and the probability of hitting is extremely low, at most it is just a scare, and the deterrent effect is greater than the actual effect, just like the momentum caused by these "horse thieves" galloping horses, it is a bluff.
But the result was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Huns, these two feather arrows shot far away, not only extremely fast, but also flew in front of them in a moment, like a lightning speed, and the accuracy was also excellent.
"Poof! Poof!" Two sounds, a feather arrow accurately hit the slanted, an arrow hit his heart, straight to the feather, the huge impact directly shot the slanted li off the horse, "Teng" sound, slanted
He fell off his horse, fell into dust, and was trampled into a pulp by his hooves, but for Shari, the impact was actually not great, because he had died before he fell off the horse.
The other feather arrow was even more magical, it actually turned in the air, and with a "poof" sound, it was inserted into the back of Sutu's head. Suddenly, he was hit by an arrow in the back of his head and rolled off his horse, but one foot was still in the stirrup, so he hung upside down on the horse, and was dragged forward by the galloping war horse.
Da Yan raised Youji, how could Xiao Li Guang's name be given for nothing? Zhou Fugui rode on the galloping war horse and took the lead in shooting two arrows, killing the two brave generals of the Liwang of the Huns' right valley, which immediately caused the Hun army to be in chaos. Some Hun soldiers strangled their horses and staggered forward, but some Hun soldiers were still urging their horses to charge, so people touched people, horses hit horses, people shouted horses neighing, crowded into a ball, it was chaotic.
"Stupid pig, it's just two arrows, you can't shoot them all, quick, hurry up and fight the dog and horse thieves in close quarters, so that you won't be afraid of their bows and arrows."
Seeing this, Ao Deng, the king of the right valley, was angry and anxious, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and if he didn't line up to meet the enemy, the "horse thieves" were about to rush over, so he brandished his scimitar and shouted.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, kill!"
The war horse is like flying, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, Zhou Fugui held the sky-shaking dragon lance, patted the horse like flying, and went straight to the right valley Liwang Ao Deng.
Dressed in brocade and jade robes, he is hugging back and forth, what is he not the leader? Zhou Fugui had already discovered Ao Deng, the king of the right valley, so he planned to take him down first, so as to defeat the more than 1,000 Hun soldiers in front of him.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The great monk Xue Wentai of Guanzhong was holding a big ring knife, Xu Mancang was holding the ring head knife with both hands on the right, and Suo Da was holding a battle axe and Zhou Fugui was in the center, which was also unstoppable, rushing towards a group of Hun soldiers.
A white tiger battle flag, waving in the wind, looks extremely eye-catching.
