Good morning! Three Kingdoms Workers Section 432
Under the bow and crossbow fire, some of the Xianbei cavalry who had never been able to snatch the armor were shot into a sieve in an instant, and some of the armor-piercing luck escaped the first round of arrow rain, and when they wanted to counterattack, the cavalry of the Han army had already rushed to the front.
As a result, the confrontation quickly turned into a rout familiar to the Hu people.
They are very good at escaping, although some people's war horses are not as good as the state army, but the leader of them still has a very good horse, especially he has more than ten clan brothers around him to fight a bloody way for him.
He's almost escaped! Those Han troops couldn't catch up with his horses, and by the time he bent his bow and arrows, he had already run a hundred paces!
When the scholar finally gathered his strength, quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked out, the carriage parked on the high ground happened to see the scene below.
First, there was a bearded man with loose hair and no beard on his chin, but several scars on horseback across the field below, followed only by three or four horsemen, two of whom had arrows on their backs and blood on their faces.
When they ran over, more than a dozen Han cavalry immediately chased after them, some with lances and some with bows, and also ran through the field.
Then two more men followed the dozen or so horsemen, but when they arrived here, they suddenly reined in their horses and stopped.
The two of them looked like military generals, one was taller and the other was thinner.
The little man reined in his horse, reached out and took a bow and an arrow from behind his back, and aimed it at the alien leader in front of him.
The people who were quietly watching on the hillside felt another wave of disdain in their hearts.
The alien leader is already running so far that he can't see his back! What is the use of such an arrow! Although he has never practiced Rong, he has also practiced the six arts of the gentleman, and he roughly knows that the Hu man has run almost 300 steps!
Even if he had a pair of clairvoyance, there was no such bow in the world-
The little man suddenly let go, and the arrow feathers were like meteors, bringing up a cold light, and headed in the direction of Hu Ren!
Suddenly the neighing of war horses sounded in the distance, and then the sound of Jin Ge intersecting!
"Down! Checkmate! Checkmate! β
"The head of the thief has been captured!"
"That arrow hit!"
He was stunned and leaned on the carriage and looked down, but in a moment, the dozen or so cavalrymen had already driven their horses back with a few bloody Hu people!
Which general is this?! This! This must be the world-famous Wen Chou General! I heard that he is a famous general in Hebei, and he has never lost hundreds of battles, so he must have come to save the people of Dongjun from fire and water!
The flag-bearers finally caught up, and the flags could not have been clearer.
He should be a little ashamed.
But when the young man had calmed down, he immediately noticed that a greater shame had overwhelmed him.
The soldiers gathered more and more around their general, cheering and hugging, reaching for the corpse of the leader, who had been shot off his horse and screaming for his life, ready to cut off his head for the general.
But some people noticed the carriage on the hillside, so they rode forward to ask what was going on.
In particular, the pale-faced, scholarly young man who saw them and immediately retracted into the carriage, looked all the more suspicious.
"Who are you?" The two flag soldiers stepped forward and asked loudly, "Why are you here?" β
The coachman immediately babbled about the name and prestige of his family, his official position and status, but this remark did not dispel the doubts of the two cavalrymen.
"Why doesn't your family Langjun come out to see him?"
There was no sound in the car.
One of the cavalrymen lifted the curtain, frowned and looked the people inside up and down a few times, sniffled again, and suddenly realized.
"Don't take it personally, Xiao Langjun," said the Bingzhou cavalryman with a grin, "It's just peeing your pants, it's not a big deal." β
When he finished saying this in a relaxed tone, he suddenly saw something unusual in the corner of his vision.
It was far away from him, and he would only see it because this cavalry was standing on high ground.
Through the jungle and the countryside, the hills and the villages, in the far northwest, smoke rose again.
Chapter 389
More and more Xianbei people poured into Dongjun.
The Xianbei tribe that took the lead from Hanoi to the south and broke into Dong County has thousands of people, and it is already the largest clan in Xianbei, and the men in the clan are brave and good at fighting, so they have the courage to take the lead.
Although they were destroyed by Lu Hangyu within a few days of their wreaking havoc in Dongjun, the Han Chinese and their belongings that they escorted back had already been seen or heard by other tribesmen.
They robbed hundreds of families of men and women as slaves, and robbed some grain and grass property, among which there were not many valuable things, but they still changed their appearance by word of mouth.
Those Xianbei people in tattered clothes excitedly said to their leaders, Dongjun is a big county in the hinterland of the Central Plains! What a place of anointing! This is the place of anointing! The people there were dressed in fine silk, and drove fat cattle and sheep, and the granaries of their homes were so full that they were going to run down! I heard that the tribe robbed tens of thousands of men and women, and there were countless amounts of gold and silver! Everyone can get a large reward, not to mention, there are also Han army heads that can be brought back to receive the reward!
Hurry up! Faster! If he was one step slower, Lu Lian's head would be cut off by them first!
After she broke the Xianbei tribe, for several days she kept bumping into the Xianbei people with this golden dream, they would tentatively ride and shoot a round first, see the situation and then rush over, and when they saw that the situation was not right and wanted to escape, their horses often couldn't outrun the Bingzhou cavalry.
Then maybe the news of the Han army's victory spread, and the Xianbei people suddenly hid again, and it was difficult to catch them again.
Although there are more and more of them, it is getting harder and harder to meet them.
Unlike any army that Lu Hangyu had ever fought against, these Xianbei tribes were not as few as she imagined, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.
In fact, according to her later estimates, there were not hundreds of Xianbei tribes who entered the Central Plains, but dozens, and there were only a few hundred of them, and even a small tribe of dozens β‘β‘of people, who were usually bullied and scolded by the big tribes, and lived as slaves and servants.
Riding scrawny horses, carrying sticks, and opening greedy eyes like vultures, they carefully rummaged through the destroyed villages from head to toe, and if they could find two or three civilians who had escaped from the last round of plunder, they would be led along as if they had found a set of ropes in a precious land and used them as the precious trophies of their own tribe.
There are more and more Xianbei people who are so unscrupulous, and naturally they don't care which of the Dongjun scholars are pro-Yuan Gong and which are not.
As far as their chaotic and foolish minds are concerned, they can't understand or distinguish noisy things like "gate valve" and "county wang".
They couldn't even understand Yuan Gong's orders!
Let them in, where to go, who to fight, they don't understand, they don't think, they just want to go all the way south, loot all the way, and vent all the anger they once suffered on the Han people!
When they quietly traveled all the way north from the sour jujube and spread like a plague in Dongjun, Lu Hangyu thought it would be a new troubleβa very troublesome thing indeed.
They seem to be a bunch of thieves, but they are very different from ordinary thieves. Ordinary thieves are formed by peasants who can't survive, and their combat effectiveness is usually limited, and it is not so easy to run.
And the Xianbei people don't know what hell mode they are rolled up in, and the combat effectiveness is uneven, but the desire to survive is still extremely strong! They can endure hardships and run away, and it will be very troublesome to catch them!
After all, under the siege of Yuan Shao, only half of Zang Hong's territory is left in Dongjun, and the other half is Yuan Shao's people!
But she didn't expect that those scholars who originally wanted to go north, or had already begun to run north, gradually retreated.
Among them, there were even some Dongjun officials who were originally attached to Yuan Shao, and they also ran with the scholars.
β¦β¦ It wasn't actually fishing enforcement.
Her horses were trimmed east of Liyang, and she rode out with a few of her cronies to scout the terrain, and when she looked down on a hilly plateau, she saw a procession passing by.
It looks like a family, but it is more like a private army, the healthy servants on both sides are armed with weapons, more than a dozen wagons are heavy, and they are rutted on the dirt road, there is a group of young and middle-aged people in front of the road, and there is a white-haired old man sitting on the back car, with a high crown and a broad belt, very majestic, not only has Chen Qi's momentum, but also has a very special shape of the staff in his hand.
The wrong bird of gold and silver held its head high at the head of the staff, and the old man sat in the same way as he sat in the cart.
"What's the spirit!" Someone was muttering behind her back.
"Don't you see it? That's a dove cane! β
"Dove staff?" She thought for a while, and suddenly understood, "The one sent by the imperial court?" β
The emperors of the feudal dynasties generally cared very much about the well-being of the people under their ruleβof course, they probably didn't, but no one said that, and most of them even had to save face.
Among them, "there are more old people" is very face-saving to the Son of Heaven, and a cane with doves inlaid on the top of the head will be specially issued to commend the elderly over seventy years old - if he does not commend his talent and conduct, he will be commended for living a long time and giving the Son of Heaven a long face, anyway, the Han Dynasty people did not have the concept of an aging society.
With this dove cane, the old man has some privileges, such as doing something that the state monopolizes the business, such as getting grain and rice from the state, for example, ordinary people fighting are only punished according to the fight, if the old man with the cane is beaten, no matter how severe the other party is sentenced to behead and abandon the market.
Considering that several emperors after the Eastern Han Dynasty were not very concerned, natural disasters were still frequent, and the low-level civilians did not dare to complain if they could make a discount - most of the people who could get this thing were not poor old people, which was even more unaffordable.
In short, this is a dove staff that Old Man Chen has to hold on for a few more years to get, and with this thing, there is a moral high ground. This old man has both a dove cane and a taxi dressed as a chariot, and there are so many descendants and servants around him, so he has basically taken all kinds of buffs.
In the Han Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety, even any prince did not dare to be disrespectful to this old man.
β¦β¦ Her words were too full.
Not long after the team walked by, a puff of black smoke rose from the horizon in the distance.
On this day, there were rare clouds, clear skies, and there was no wind, so the smoke rushed straight into the blue sky.
"Is that wolf smoke?"
"There's an enemy attack! Checkmate! β
"It must be the team just now! Before I walked ten miles, I met Hu'er! β
Several pairs of eyes looked at her together, and she was stunned for a moment.
The Xianbei people are haunted, but Zhang Liao's Bingzhou cavalry can't conquer in the sky.
"General, are we going to the rescue?" Someone shouted, "Our cavalry is down the mountain!" β
"That's the general's personal guard, how can it be called! Besides, there are less than 100 people, if that Xianbei army is menacing, what can it do! β
She's already stunned.
"I don't know what family those men came from, but their neat servants and their ability to light wolf smoke should hold them up for a while," she said. β
This time the scholars were indeed not as cowardly as the last time.
They were born in Hanoi and avoided disaster in Liyang, and originally did not want to be attached to Yuan Shao - to be precise, no one in this family wanted to be attached to, they regarded themselves as Hanchen, but they felt that the Son of Heaven was weak, and Liu Bei might not be able to survive this war, so they always wanted to wait and see, not only to win a good name, but also not to oppose the princes along the way.
β¦β¦ I didn't expect to wait and see, so I waited and saw the Xianbei people, so I could only hurry north.
The vicinity of Liyang was originally quite safe, and it would be a few dozen miles to enter the territory of Jizhou, but this group of people did not act rashly, but ordered the five hundred Jian servants to wear swords, and the young sons of the clan also dressed up in military uniforms.
There is even a little Langjun among them who has taken precautions and even prepared dry and wet firewood for wolf smoke in advance!
Sure enough, they met the Xianbei people!
"Get out of the car! Inside! β
"Dodge the arrows! Dodge arrows! β
"Is there a long pole?"
A rain of arrows struck, and the young man of about twenty years old lay under the car and shouted, "Resist the enemy with the long pole!" β
"How can we be against them!" Someone cried out.
The old man stood up from the carriage violently, "I'm a big manββ! β
An arrow flew over!
The young man: "Whew! "The old man got out of the car with a bang!
