Section 79: Destroying the camp and seizing the village
The barbarian army was originally composed of small tribes, and it can be said that the leaders of each small tribe have their own careful thoughts.
When Li Qing led the heavy cavalry of the Sui army to crush the cavalry on the right flank of the barbarian army, the barbarian army that was not in the position of the commander of the Chinese army had already failed! However, the barbarian army that had lost its command collapsed faster than Li Hu expected.
The collapse of the barbarian army also gave fear to the soldiers in front who were still fighting fiercely with the Sui saber and shield soldiers - now they were facing a two-sided attack, and they were also their own defenseless backs!
Almost at the same time that the barbarian army began to collapse, the front line of the barbarian army, which could still hold on, also began to collapse, and a large number of barbarian veterans who were still fighting with the Sui saber soldiers repelled the Sui army by two steps, and then directly turned around and ran, so fast that the Sui army on the opposite side was stunned;
For this situation, the Sui army is also very experienced, and someone immediately stepped forward and tied the barbarian soldiers who knelt and surrendered to the ground with a hemp rope, and then picked up the weapons and began to pursue.
It's not that the Sui army has the intention to tie up the soldiers, but even if the population of the Central Plains does not suffer much loss, most of the soldiers in Longxi Mansion are mainly for the purpose of being soldiers and eating food, and they really don't have that mind to manage the land, and although these barbarians don't know how to cultivate, but when it comes to their own territory, they are still very honest, and even a child can manage it very well.
In fact, it's no wonder that the barbarians are easy to control, mainly after surrendering, even if they are slaves to these Guanxi and Guanzhong soldiers, it is better than returning to the tribe to continue to be a herdsman, at least they can be fed and clothed, and even have the opportunity to marry a little lady (of course, a woman from the same barbarians) after a long time, and after a few generations, as long as they have been loyal, they can also become the family members and generals of the master's family, at that time, the status is no longer a slave!
This situation has existed since the Han Empire was in the outside of the Saiwai, and the Li family of Li Hu, the current Duke of Tang Guogong, has many family members, soldiers, and generals who are barbarians outside the Saiwai for several generations!
The collapse speed of the barbarian army was also extremely fast, and the rewinding soldiers even broke the reinforcements who came from the rear to support, but there were also great generals among the barbarians, who were struggling to go against the flow of people and rushed towards Li Qing, who was facing the arrows of the Sui army.
Li Qing was dancing his lance in the barbarian army, and when he opened the bow left and right, he suddenly saw a small group of barbarian cavalry rushing towards him diagonally, led by a middle-aged man with a beard on his face who also wore armor and held a horse lance, and the most unique thing was that there was a fine iron scarf on the neck of this big man that was extremely rare in the Sui army.
This kind of fine iron neck guard designed to protect the throat has appeared as early as the Eastern Han Empire, but it is mainly more popular in Longxi and the Western Regions further west, but since the Eastern Han Empire moved south, this kind of neck guard has disappeared.
However, even antiques are useless, the strong man holds a horse lance, and with the help of horsepower, it is a straight stab to Li Qing's neck - Li Qing's neck does not have an iron fence to protect the neck, if he is stabbed, then there is only one situation.
This big man is also a master among the barbarians, and his spear is fast and fast, and the cold light flashes, like lightning. Li Qing's movements were not slow, the long lance in his hand shook, and he just used the lance behind the lance to knock on the opponent's lance, and did not use great force, but only opened the opponent's horse lance for three points, but these three points, in Li Qing's opinion, were enough, and they just passed by Li Qing's neck.
At the same time that Li Qing knocked the other party's horse lance away, the palm of his hand pressed down and handed it forward, as fast as lightning, the barbarian man on the opposite side had no time to react, and the bright lance had already come to his eyes, "snort", like a hot knife cutting butter, the big man's fine iron neck guard and the throat behind the neck guard were stabbed through by Li Qing's long lance, and with the help of the power of the two horses' staggered kicks, the big man was put on the lance pole and picked up in the air.
Li Qing didn't care about picking a barbarian general, but the reaction of the barbarian army greatly exceeded Li Qing's expectations.
"King Youxian is dead!"
"King Youxian was killed by General Sui!"
"Run!"
The barbarian army, which had already begun to collapse, but there were still a few small phalanxes that remained intact this time, completely lost any resistance, and turned around and fled, but most of the barbarians who did not have war horses by their side fell directly to their knees and gave up their weapons.
However, not all the barbarians are fleeing or surrendering, the more than ten cavalrymen who originally followed the big han to Li Qing saw that the big man was picked to death by Li Qing, not only did not escape, but rushed over with blood-red eyes and a scimitar horse lance. Seeing that these people were not afraid of death, Li Qing pursed his mouth behind the mask, very disdainful.
Li Qing, who has lived in Longxi for a long time, has two generations of grandfathers, and even counts up until the pre-Qin and Han empires, and his ancestors have been fighting against the barbarians outside the Saiwai, and they are familiar with the habits of the barbarians, these people must have been stabbed to death by Li Qing Some of the guards of the Right Xian King, in the barbarians, if the master is killed before the guards die, then these guards are also a dead end, it is okay to die on the spot, if they can escape with their lives, then their families will be affected.
Since he begged for death, Li Qing didn't have to show mercy, with Li Qing's confidence in his martial arts, even if these people wanted to die with him, they couldn't do it!
Just when Li Qing was about to lead the cavalry to charge at the back of the barbarian army again, a sudden change occurred: the corpses of more than a dozen barbarian guards who had just been stabbed under the horses by Li Qing suddenly surged with blood light, flashing towards Li Qing, directly pasting a thick layer of blood light on the black and purple armor.
It doesn't matter if it's a simple blood light, the key is that once the blood light that looks very viscous and the black-purple armor comes into contact, it emits a "hiss" and "snort" sound, as if strong acid meets metal, and at the same time exudes a rust-like smell.
Uncle Li is very experienced, and when he saw this situation, he also gasped, "This is a curse! The curse of the barbarians! Damn the shaman!" Then he drove the war horse and quickly came to Li Qing's side, "Miss, what do you think, is there anything wrong?" Hurry back to the camp and let the military mage disperse the curse!"
"I'm fine, Uncle Li. The curse of the barbarians is right, and I can't help my aunt and grandmother! Don't forget who my master is! With this armor made by my master's father, I am not afraid of any curse!" Li Qing's crisp voice sounded, which made Uncle Li let go of his worries slightly.
Also, the curse of the barbarians is very vicious, especially this kind of blood curse, once it is touched, it can immediately corrode the iron armor, and the gap will enter, if the general of the Sui army in the past encountered this kind of blood curse, even if he was immediately dispelled by the mage, it would hurt his vitality more or less, but now Li Qing's speech is still so normal, even the war horse under his crotch has not been affected, it can be seen that what Miss said is not wrong at all.
Li Qing is also very disgusted with the blood curse of the barbarians, this is a very scoundrel method, but the barbarians relied on this blood curse to once make the Central Plains Dynasty restrain their hands. Of course, this kind of blood curse is not something that all barbarian generals are eligible to enjoy, only those barbarian leaders with a high enough status have shamans to bless them, the purpose is to have a chance to escape if they encounter the danger of killing - this is actually a means of ending up together, and only on the basis of the death of the guards around these high-ranking nobles, these nobles will be activated when they are killed.
Therefore, after the large-scale expedition of the Eastern Han Empire to Mobei, there were few cases of barbarian nobles being directly killed by the Han army, but there were a large number of prisoners, which was the effect of this blood curse. But today, the barbarian Right Xian King is brave and skillful, and he wants the sneak attack to go smoothly, but he didn't expect that he didn't even have a face, and he was beaten by Li Qing to save his life, and he originally thought that he would beg for mercy if he couldn't fight, but he didn't even have a chance to speak, but he inspired a blood curse that had not appeared for hundreds of years.
However, to the disappointment of the barbarians, the blood curse, which was originally vulnerable to even the best iron armor in the Central Plains, had no effect at all when it met Li Qing, and even had a more and more dim posture, as if it was absorbed by the armor on Li Qing's body - it was the dragon scale armor refined by Lin Xiao himself, taken from the thousand-year-old poisonous dragon, not only not afraid of severe poison, but also very tenacious, not to mention that the divine weapons in the world are helpless, even if it is an ordinary flying sword, it is difficult to leave two scratches.
Moreover, the poisonous dragon scale armor also has a characteristic, that is, it is also not afraid of evil arts, this kind of blood curse belongs to one of the evil arts in Lin Xiao's opinion, although its source is the ancient witch gate. The effect of this kind of unafraid of evil magic also comes from the characteristics of the scale armor itself, as a part of the body of the poisonous dragon, there are countless small blood lines distributed in these scale armor, the source of the blood curse is blood, and when it encounters the dragon scales full of blood, it will naturally be absorbed, dispersed and even digested and absorbed by the active scale armor, which is the key to the blood curse not playing its due role. As for the part of the mantra, it was originally carried out by relying on blood, but without blood, it would lose its support, and dissipation would be the inevitable result.
Looking at the eldest lady who was still alive and well, Uncle Li could only follow Li Qing closely, and the cavalry of the brigade began to attack the rear of the barbarian army. However, at this time, because of the death of King Youxian, it is better to say that it is an impact on the rear of the barbarian army, and it is better to drive it in the direction of the barbarian army's camp. As for the leaders of the small tribes who had already fled from the left flank of the barbarian army, they were not worth chasing after the Sui army, because there were still 100,000 troops left behind in the barbarian army's camp!
