391. As a guest
Halfway up the Great Lake Mountain, nearly a thousand Taya warriors surrounded a steel circle.
It looks like an island in the middle of the ocean, or a sea ship, because it is constantly moving towards the mountain, not slow.
The Taya warriors stared at the circle as if they were staring at a wild beast, and the handle of the sword in their hands had long been soaked with sweat.
The circle was moving, and they could only move silently, completely unable to think of how to stop it.
The arrows and javelins could not break through the heavy armor shield at all, and the white-knuckle hand-to-hand combat could only end up in vain, but was easily knocked down.
What's more, those lightning-like weapons were too terrifying.
And the other party also shouted that as long as it was not attacked, it would not fight back.
Sending people to die in vain is just stupidity, not bravery, so the Taya warriors have nothing to do for the time being.
In the center of the circle, Zhao Mengqi seemed to be strolling leisurely, looking at the more and more Taya warriors gathered around, there was no wave in his heart, and he still had the leisure to enjoy the scenery in the distance.
Coming to Dahu Mountain is probably a temporary idea.
On the night after Luo Qian returned to Pabla, Zhao Mengqi also took more than 100 personal guards, a Dongwei battalion, and a Ma Si battalion, a total of more than 800 people, and quietly landed at the mouth of the Dajiaxi River.
Immediately, under the leadership of the Pablas, they visited the Bazehai tribe with 'sincerity'.
Originally, I was going to 'convince' the Bazehai tribe to add some help, and then I heard about the Great Lakes tribe in the Taya tribe.
The Great Lakes Department is the closest to Ba Zehai, and for decades it has often fought grass valleys on Ba Zehai, forcing the Ba Zehai tribe to only dare to operate in the west of the Taichung Basin, so they have a deep understanding of this great enemy.
may have been the factor of avenging himself by the hands of the Song people, so he told Zhao Mengqi that the Taya tribe was gathering forces in the Great Lakes region.
This immediately attracted Zhao Mengqi's attention, and after in-depth questioning, he learned a lot about the Great Lakes Priest's head.
Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but guess that this chief priest was likely to go to the Great Song Dynasty to 'study'.
Regardless of whether this speculation is reliable or not, he can't let the big force of the Taya tribe sabotage his plan anyway, so Zhao Mengqi decided to strike first and take action against the Taya tribe.
The plan of action is not complicated, salute first and then soldier.
It would be best if you could see the high priest and 'convince' him, but if not, take this opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on the Taya and take down their leadership.
As long as he is not hiding in the jungle, then even with only these forty or fifty armor soldiers around him, Zhao Mengqi is confident that he can kill seven in and seven out of tens of thousands of natives.
Of course, he was not so rash, and the other eight hundred people were on standby not far away.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhao Mengqi still hopes that the Taya people can choose to submit to it.
First, objectively speaking, it is impossible to completely eradicate these natives by force, and secondly, the Taya people are good at fighting in the mountains and jungles, and if they set up an army, it will be very conducive to Zhao Mengqi's next strategic plan.
While Zhao Mengqi was thinking wildly, Haru rushed down from the mountain, and when he heard his shout, the Taya warriors gave way to a passage.
Passing through the crowd to get close to the front and back, Haru shot without saying a word, and in his opinion, even if the iron arrow he used could shoot even a rough and thick-skinned boar, he didn't believe that anyone could stop his divine shot.
Standing at the head of the circle was Wu Qiong, seeing the arrows flying, the corners of his mouth under the mask were torn out with ridicule, and he didn't even bother to raise the shield, allowing the sharp edge to hit the heart guard.
Unsurprisingly, there was a crisp crash, and the arrow left an undetectable white dot on the heart guard, which then slid and bounced off.
Wu Qiong grabbed the arrow shaft in the air, and sent the arrow to look at it.
The very simple iron cone, most of which is black, only the tip is white, and it should have been carefully polished, but it is a little deformed at this time.
It seems that the iron quality is a little poor, and perhaps it will be disliked by the farmers of the Great Song Dynasty when it is made into a farm tool, but the feathers at the tail of the arrow shaft are very beautiful.
Pouting, Wu Qiong casually threw the arrow on the ground, and then pulled out the Qianniu knife at his waist.
Because Haru saw that it was just a joke for him to shoot with all his strength in front of the other party, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and rushed towards Wu Qiong with his hunting knife.
Wu Qiong saw the heavy scimitar coming, but he didn't dodge or dodge, but just put the slender Qianniu knife in front of him.
This attitude made Haru even more angry, and poured all the strength of his body into the blade of the sword, vowing to cut the person in front of him in two.
The two knives collided and made a loud roar, and then Haru felt a light in his hand, and half of the blade flew up from in front of him.
It was indeed cut in two, but it was Haru's sword, a treasure sword that he regarded as a treasure.
He didn't know how many enemies he had decapitated with this sword, but now he was so snapped.
Stunned, he moved his gaze from the broken knife in his hand to the other party's shiny and slender blade, and Haru found that there was only an extremely small gap on it.
Wu Qiong didn't bother to care about how unbelievable Haru's eyes were, but he just remembered His Highness's instructions, so he put the knife into the sheath, clenched his fist and smiled, "Wu that reckless man, and eat my punch." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Qiong pounced out, and his iron-gloved fist slammed into Haru's abdomen.
Haru felt as if he had been slammed into by a large boar, and the sharp pain like fire spread from his abdomen to his whole body, and his body was pushed into the air by a huge force, flying upside down for four or five steps before falling to the ground, and drawing a shallow groove.
The Taya warriors who saw this scene were dumbfounded, what kind of power is this!?
You have to know that Haru weighs about the same as an adult black bear, and he was actually punched away?
And Wu Qiong just shrugged her shoulders, as if she was just stretching.
In fact, if he hadn't deliberately left his hand and only used his strength, then I'm afraid Haru wouldn't have flown out, but a hole in his belly.
Haru thought he was invincible in the world, and there was no one braver in the world, but this punch suddenly shattered his world.
Humiliated to his senses, he struggled to his feet, then roared and rushed at Wu Qiong again like an enraged boar.
"Not afraid of death?"
Wu Qiong frowned slightly, raised her foot and kicked at the chest of Haru, who was approaching.
This time, Haru flew farther and smashed a shallow pit into the ground, sending dust everywhere.
After a violent cough, Haru actually got up again, shook his gray head, opened his scarlet eyes, and continued to rush towards Wu Qiong regardless of it.
"Tsk, are you still coming?"
Wu Qiong didn't know whether to scold or laugh at the moment, so she bent her legs, bowed down and popped up to meet Haru.
The shoulder hit Haru's abdomen, lifted him up, and after a spin, he hugged Haru's legs.
Haru's bulky body flew through the air, flying five or six feet before falling to the ground, rolling continuously for a while before stopping.
At this moment, I don't know how many Taya warriors are desperately rubbing their eyes, and they all seem to think that they are dazzled.
I only felt that my skeleton was about to fall apart, and it took a long time for Haru, who had a blue nose and swollen face, to get up again.
Enduring the pain all over his body, Haru did not intend to give up, gritted his teeth and took steps, staggering, stumbling, and rushing towards Wu Qiong without stopping.
Wu Qiong's eyes showed surprise, and she felt a little admired inexplicably, "Since you want to be a hero, then I will fulfill you." ”
So he pulled out the Thousand Ox Knife again and decided to send this resolute warrior on his way by beheading.
said that it was rushing, but in fact, Haru was moving his pace with difficulty, staring at Wu Qiong with his eyes, seeing the flickering cold light in his hand, not only was he not afraid, but he had a kind of longing and relief.
Perhaps, it is a kind of nature for heroes to cherish each other, even if the two sides do not understand the language, Wu Qiong completely understands what Haru wants at the moment.
In order to show respect, Wu Qiong grabbed the blade of the knife with the tiger's mouth and wiped it down, wiping off the dust that did not exist on it.
Slowly waiting for Haru to take three steps in front of him, Wu Qiong clenched the handle of the knife with both solemn hands, took the initiative to take a step forward, aimed his eyes at the back of Haru's neck, and raised the long knife high.
"Keep people under the knife!"
"Wu Qiong, stop!"
An old shout and a clear scolding rang out at the same time.
The bright light of the sword drew a half-moon in the air, and then it stopped abruptly, and the blade stopped at Haru's throat, and a line of blood burst out, and beads of blood slid along the edge of the blade to the jaw.
Forcibly stopping the knife made Wu Qiong's qi and blood reversed, and she held her breath for a while before relieving herself, and then took the knife back, gently shook off the blood on it, and put it into the scabbard.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness won't let you die, I must comply."
Haru was still sluggish, like a piece of wood, and his eyes didn't even move.
In fact, Zhao Mengqi didn't deliberately want to stop when Wu Qiong swung the knife, he didn't plan to stop it at all.
It was not out of sympathy like Wu Qiong, but from Haru, he saw the recklessness of the natives, so he felt that it was necessary to give a proper shock.
But when he saw a group of old men emerge from the crowd and his faces were full of anxiety, he changed his mind.
And another one who shouted to stop in Chinese was naturally the head of the Muhua Sacrifice, and after he saw Wu Qiong collect the knife, he was even more sure that the Song people came here with good intentions.
Then he walked to the front of the circle as fast as he could, then threw away the crutches, and trembled and bowed with Song etiquette.
"His Royal Highness King Yan is coming, and the small people in the mountains and fields have lost their welcome, please surrender their crimes."
The salute is very stiff, and the Chinese language seems a little weird, but the attitude is very sincere, and the title is also very clever.
The circle burst open, Zhao Mengqi stepped forward quickly, and helped Mu Hua up, "Don't be polite, my husband doesn't have to be polite, today I am an uninvited guest, but it has caused you to disturb, so it should be me to compensate you for ......it."
At this time, Zhao Mengqi was still wearing heavy armor, but he had already taken off his hood and face armor, and his face was full of spring breeze, as if he was really just a guest.
Mu Hua raised his head and looked at King Yan's face, both surprised by his youth, but also sighed at his demeanor, and then became more and more humble.
"Your Royal Highness's noble feet are on the cheap land, the old man and all the clansmen are deeply honored, if you don't feel like the cold place, please go into the village to rest for a while......"
"If you want to do what you want, you will have Lao Lao to guide the way."
Zhao Mengqi smiled, held Muhua's arm, and walked towards the mountain.
When passing by Haru's side, Zhao Mengqi stopped, reached out and patted Haru's shoulder.
"There are mountains outside the mountains, there are heavens outside the sky, a temporary failure does not mean anything, this world is very big, if there is a chance, I hope you can go more and see more, maybe one day you can be a hundred times stronger than now."
Halu's eyes rolled, but he was very confused, because he couldn't understand Zhao Mengqi's words at all.
Then Mu Hua translated it and made some explanations.
After listening to this, Haru was thoughtful.
