Kill –

The first rays of the morning sun had just fallen, and the Hute tribe was busy preparing breakfast. Breakfast is an important part of the day for the Hute tribesmen, and after they have eaten and drunk enough, the busy day begins.

Let the horses go!

This is the most important thing that the Hute tribesmen do every day. The Hute Department is actually a subordinate tribe of the Qingshui tribe, Ma Shuo's original destination, and to put it bluntly, it is a vassal tribe that raises horses for the Qingshui tribe.

After all, the Qingshui tribe couldn't raise so many horses on their own, so they naturally wanted to recover some vassal tribes to help them work.

Taking advantage of the fact that the people of the Hute tribe had not had time to eat breakfast and were hungry, they had already finished eating, and Ma Shuo and the others, who had enough energy, seized the opportunity to enter the station of the Hute tribe from two directions.

The sudden intrusion of the enemy, the waving sword, the flying head, the fallen people, everything happened so suddenly. For a moment, the Hutt people were a little dumbfounded, many of them stood there stupidly not knowing what to do, and some people ran in a panic.

However, many of the Hutt subordinates reacted quickly, immediately picked up their weapons, turned over and rode towards Ma Shuo's men. The Hutt subordinates are good at raising horses, and naturally they are also good at riding, and these guys are not bad at riding.

As a result, Ma Shuo's men and horses also began to be damaged, and some of the unlucky ones who were shot by the bows and arrows in the hands of Hutt's men fell directly.

"Kill—"

In this way, the blood of the Thousand Men and the militia was also stimulated. Although most of them did not have horses and did not have an advantage in fighting on horseback, the quality of their weapons was much higher than that of Hutt's men, and it was relatively easy to achieve victory when fighting at close range, as long as they avoided the opponent's charge.

Therefore, after the blood of the Thousand Men and the militia was aroused, the Hutt tribes who had just eased the situation were suppressed again, and one after another the Hute tribes fell.

At this time, the barbarians in the Thousand Men and the militia behaved very well, they did not show the slightest hesitation because the Hutt troops were also barbarians, on the contrary, their attacks seemed to be more violent, and they did not mean to spare their hands at all.

In fact, if you know a little bit about the habits of barbarians, you can understand the reason for this situation. In fact, the conflict between different tribes in the barbarian region is actually very large, and there is no shortage of hatred between each other. Many times, even if there is no direct hatred, an instinctive primitive nature, once people from different tribes encounter each other, they will fight, and the purpose is naturally to conquer each other.

Conquest is a factor buried deep in the blood of barbarians.

The performance of the team's barbarians made Ma Shuo very satisfied, and naturally, Ma Shuo's movements in his hands did not decrease in the slightest. The spear in Ma Shuo's hand, each shot took the life of a barbarian, and the speed was very fast.

As a child of the border army, Ma Shuo did not have much sympathy for these barbarians. The grievances between the barbarians and the Great Qin State have long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the border army. Historically, every once in a while, barbarians would invade Great Qin, causing thousands of deaths and injuries to Great Qin and the loss of a large number of resources.

Therefore, for the barbarian's horses, Ma Shuo didn't plan to buy them at all, not to mention that he didn't have so much money, and even if he did, the other party wouldn't sell them to him.

Horses, whether they were barbarians or Great Qin, were strictly forbidden to be bought and sold. Of course, smuggling is a different story.

Because a lot of adult men of the Hute tribe were taken away, under the fierce attack of the thousand people and the militia group, the tribes of the Hute tribe finally could not resist and dispersed one after another.

"Gather the horses and evacuate as soon as possible!"

Ma Shuo did not let people chase and kill the scattered Hute troops, but took advantage of the opportunity of the other party's rout to gather the opponent's many horses together as soon as possible and evacuated as quickly as possible.

There are still many scattered tribes of the Hute tribe, and it is obviously impossible to kill them all. Therefore, it is necessary to leave safely with the horses that have been stolen before the big tribes in the vicinity react.

Fortunately, many of the militia and the Thousand Men could ride horses, and those who could not ride horses also quickly mastered the basic riding essentials under the guidance of those who could ride horses.

With the horses on their feet, the speed of the crowd was much faster, and they quickly evacuated the Hute tribe along the route they had come, and went straight to the secret base. This time, in addition to those who ran away in a panic, Ma Shuo and the others grabbed a total of about three thousand horses, of which the adult ones were fifteen or six hundred.

As for the number of Hute tribesmen killed, it is a bit difficult to count, and it must be in the early 1,000s according to rough estimates. This number is already the vast majority of the adult barbarians left behind by the Hut tribe, and the vast majority of those who are scattered are women, old and young. Of course, the Hute tribe was not wiped out, because they still had more than a thousand adults who had been evacuated from the town, and if those guys were lucky enough to come back safely, the Hute tribe would still be able to recover quickly.

Of course, all this is hypothetical, and it has nothing to do with Ma Shuo.

After Ma Shuo took the people and horses away from the Hute tribe, he hurried all the way, and after walking for a hundred miles, he found a suitable place to stop and rest. Taking advantage of the rest time, Ma Shuo asked a few five hundred elders to count their respective people. After some inventory, Ma Shuo found that this trip to the Hute tribe had gained a lot, but the loss was not small.

The militia and the thousand-man squad lost nearly 200 men in total, most of them newly recruited barbarians, and a few of them were mountain bandits, but the retired wounded soldiers who served as basic officers did not suffer any losses, but some were wounded.

Ma Shuo is still very satisfied with this result. Such a loss is still within Ma Shuo's range, and after such a baptism of blood, the temperament of the remaining people has undergone earth-shaking changes.

This change is not only reflected in the change of each individual, but also the overall cohesion of the two teams is constantly improving in the battle, and an overall consciousness begins to take shape in the team.

Because of the horses, everyone returned to the secret base the next day.

Near the secret base, there happens to be a very flat area, which is very suitable for cavalry training. So, Ma Shuo took the people to the temporary station, and began to build the people's dwellings, while letting the people slowly establish a relationship with their mounts.

Of course, Ma Shuo himself is busy with another very important matter.
