In the valley, the fighting continues.

In the cold weather, the long-term field activities make the limbs of the horses become numb, and the movements are also a little comical and exaggerated, and the fighting force is light or heavy, so that the bloody and tragic fight actually seems a little unreal.

Roar......

A Hu pawn roared loudly, and the war knife in his hand cut a long hole in the back of the opponent's horse, and all kinds of viscera and blood stains were sprayed out at once.

The horse stumbled and fell to the ground with a wail, and saw that it was no longer alive. The knight on horseback had one leg pressed to the ground by the wounded horse, and struggled to pull it out, but in vain.

"It's a pity ......"

Hu Shu sighed secretly in his heart, he originally wanted to pierce the opponent's ribs with this knife, but because the strength fell on the horse, he had to waste his strength to make up for it.

Seeing that the opponent was still slapping the horse corpse on the ground and struggling in vain, the bearded pawn smiled evilly, raised his knife and rode his horse forward, thinking in his heart that as long as he killed the opponent in front of him again, he would become the person who killed the most enemies and beheaded the enemy in the team.

Qu Shuai had promised before that after breaking through Guangwu City, he would reward the warriors who had accumulated the most merits, and let the tribal warriors enter the city in order of merit, and the first to enter with the greatest merit would naturally be able to plunder and pick the most and best loot!

Grab a few jars of ointment and moisturize your chapped hands and faces. He also had to catch a few horned rams and slaughter Aya, who died of starvation on the way. Replace it with a long knife, and it's best to grab a big lance! Leather armor is going to come on, of course, preferably iron armor......

And women, that's the most important thing!

This thought came to his mind, and Hu Shu couldn't help but lick the corners of his chapped lips, and the whole person became more energetic.

Although he is full of beard, but he is still just an untrained teenager, he has decided on a family affair in the clan, and he will marry at the beginning of the year, but he has migrated, and he died on the way, and he doesn't know whether the fiancée is alive or dead, in short, this young man still owes a lot of taste in his life.

Winter!

A loud noise seemed to explode in his ears, but it seemed to be an auditory hallucination, and Hu Zu only felt that his skull trembled sharply, and the sand and gravel on the ground were getting closer and closer to him. It wasn't that the sand and gravel were flying, but that the back of the pawn's head was hit hard by the enemy, and his body fell uncontrollably forward and fell off his horse.

"Die!"

The pawn slammed heavily on the ground, his head and face pierced by the sharp and rough gravel, and his bloody face jumped up, roaring like a ghost with the words of the Han people he didn't know much, and trying to stare left and right to look for the enemy who had smashed him down.

However, before the enemy's figure could be seen, he was hit the back again, and the hu's body leaned forward and was about to fall, but his half-leaning body hung in the air.

His confused thoughts were confusing to figure out the situation, but when he lowered his head, he saw a sharp blade protruding from his chest, and the blood around his body seemed to be frozen at this moment, and the Hu pawn subconsciously closed his eyes, as if as long as he couldn't see it, it wasn't true.

However, when he just closed his eyes, his body suddenly trembled again, and the chest lance that penetrated his chest and was stuck by the sternum suddenly shortened by half a section, and then Hu Zu only felt a hot feeling like charcoal fire in his chest, raised his bloody hands and grabbed the lance, and his mouth whimpered and roared: "No, don't ...... it"

But the spear was finally withdrawn, and the body of the Hu pawn was thrown to the ground like a lump of rotten flesh, and the blood gushed out of his chest like a spring, but it quickly solidified under the cold wind, and the eyes of the Hu pawn quickly lost his mind, but there was a bit of a strange smile on his face, and the hallucination of the dying moment sent him to Guangwu City at the moment of breaking, and his consciousness stayed forever in the cheerful activity of plundering.

"Most of the governors, most of the thieves on the left were killed, but there were still a few horsemen who fled too fast and couldn't intercept them."

The bloody commander rode back to the valley to report, and Li Tai nodded when he heard this, and he didn't care about the few Hu soldiers who escaped.

Those soldiers did not get a glimpse of the full appearance of his army, and they were frightened and fled back, and all that could be transmitted back was panic, but there would be no valuable information.

"Collect the corpses of the men and horses, and send the dead and wounded horses back to the camp for food, and keep the rest. As for the corpses of these Hu pawns, and build a Beijing view on the top of the plateau. ”

Li Tai ordered the soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield, and after a little muttering, he ordered: "Return to the camp and transfer 500 light cavalry, distribute them near the pass on the left, and make false stoves to make fires to confuse the enemy, and if you encounter the enemy, you will be policed, and gather people to kill them!" ”

The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and since they plan to confuse and intimidate the enemy, of course they must make a complete set.

After receiving the order, the soldiers went their separate ways and soon cleaned up the battlefield. This wave of contact killed more than 200 Hu pawns in total, all of whom were elite soldiers who could serve as scouts.

If it is in the open wilderness, or the geographical environment that the thief army is familiar with, it is difficult to achieve such a result. After all, these scouts can escape if they can't be beaten, and they won't stupidly throw themselves into the net and let others slaughter them.

However, Li Tai is still a little unhappy, the Jingguan made of more than 200 corpses is really inconspicuous, and it looks like an ordinary small dirt bag from a distance on the plateau, which makes people look unreal, and naturally lacks the effect of deterring and attracting hatred.

"I still have to keep killing!"

Although Li Tai was not cruel by nature, he would never have the slightest mercy on these thieves who entered the country and harassed him, turned over and boarded the mount brought by his own soldiers, first went back to the camp to have a meal and rest, and then made a move to continue to trap and kill the thief army.

Li Tai still complained that the Jingguan built by more than 200 heads was not eye-catching, but the thieves in the camp were shocked by the huge losses of more than 200 scouts who had almost completely wiped out, and the scouts who had escaped by luck had just arrived outside the camp when they were summoned into the big tent by the generals who were anxiously waiting for information.

"The enemy army is too strong, and it is all over the mountains...... There are not many soldiers, but they are ...... murderous."

Several scouts who escaped death were already in shock, and then faced with the pressure of many tribes in the big tent, they couldn't help but feel more frightened, and subconsciously exaggerated the strength of the enemy army, trying to reduce their own guilt, but all kinds of false words were self-contradictory and inconsistent, making the listeners even more confused.

"Come on, drag these cowardly fools out and cut them down for me!"

Many of the chiefs in this big tent came from different shortcomings, and their personalities were also different, and when they heard the scout's chaotic performance, even the fierce Hu chieftain shouted impatiently.

But the clan leaders to whom these scouts belonged were reluctant to have their men killed again, so the big tent suddenly became noisy, and the scene became even more chaotic.

"Shut up!"

Just when the quarrel between the Hu chiefs became more and more intense, a burly Hu chief above the big tent shouted angrily, seeing that everyone was still angry, the Hu chief snorted coldly: "I am ordered by King Zuo Xian to lead the southern expedition army, if anyone resists my order and roars in the filial piety tent, I will kill him first!" ”

As he spoke, he directly took out his saber and slashed it on the eucalyptus, and everyone looked at him as if he was fake, so they all restrained and endured it, and did not dare to quarrel arbitrarily.

After shocking everyone in the tent, this Hu Chief turned to the left and said in a deep voice: "Cao Wanqi, you said before that the three cities of Guangwu in Dongxia Prefecture are still considerable, as long as Guangwu City is broken, the vast state can be galloped, and now the Guangwu defenders are besieged in the city, why are most of the men and horses outside the city?" ”

There are many descendants of the Xiongnu tribe in the Jihu tribe, so these Hu chieftains also use the name of the Xiongnu to show their prestige. Cao Wanqi, who was named, hurriedly stood up and said: "Liu Duhou, please be calm and don't be impatient, the Western Army is stationed in Beizhou to operate, and there are indeed only officers and soldiers in Guangwu Town in Dongxia Prefecture. As for the appearance of the smoke outside the city, the truth remains to be investigated......"

"How else to look closer? Few of the more than 200 scouts survived, so you can see that the enemy army is strong! Obviously, it was the intelligence of your Shuofang Department that was wrong, and led my tens of thousands of troops to this realm in a dilemma......"

Hearing what this Chief Hu surnamed Cao said, another Chief Hu couldn't help but say angrily.

That Liu Duhou waited for his companion to finish scolding, and then looked at Cao Wanqi and said: "The enemy situation outside the city must be thoroughly investigated, but this Guangwu City must not be besieged for a long time. The small city in the east is in charge of your army, I will give you another three days, if you can't capture it after three days, then this Guangwu city doesn't need to be attacked again, I will lead my troops back north! ”

When Cao Wanqi heard this, his expression was a little anxious, and he couldn't help but speak: "The army has already arrived here, how can you retreat lightly!" Since you and the other tribes have crossed the river, all the consumption will be borne by our department, and we must not return in vain! What's more, if you don't capture Guangwu City and loot Dongxia Prefecture, Liu Duhou thinks that your troops can still maintain until they return to Hedong? ”

These words were quite threatening, and after hearing this, all the Hu chiefs in the tent who had descended from Shishi since the Marquis of Liu Duhou heard it, and one of the Hu chiefs couldn't help but say angrily: "With the supply of cattle and sheep from all the departments of Shuofang, don't say that you can return to Lishi, and go further!" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to turn bad again, Liu Duhou spoke again: "The Shuofang tribes are willing to accept us and other departments to transit and recuperate, which can be regarded as righteousness. Therefore, we also sweep away the hostile forces in the territory for you, this is a covenant that benefits the two sides, not to mention that in the coming year, King Zuo Xian will let you participate in the trade routes of Monan.

We and other tribes are indeed poor at the moment, but they will never let others be deceived and bullied, and you don't think that our warriors can be used willfully, if you want to be strong, you still need to work hard yourself! ”

"Liu Duhou, please rest assured, I will immediately arrange for men and horses to continue to attack the small city. But the men and horses outside the city ......"

Cao Wanqi didn't want to make the relationship between them too stiff, so he slowed down his tone and said.

After hearing this, Liu Duhou muttered slightly: "I don't know the strength or weakness of this way, but since I have come to a close place, I must have a battle." But Guangwu City has not yet been conquered, and it is difficult for our army to be diverted for other purposes. The other party didn't dare to go straight into the battle, thinking that it was not strong, and the scout would be guarded first, and I would introduce an armament to conquer Guangwu City first! ”
