Chapter 5: The Pursuit
Qin Mu's feet were as fast as a galloping horse, rolling up a puff of smoke and dust, and in front of him was a group of cavalry running for their lives, their cheeks were fiery red, their skin was fair, they had squinted eyes, flat noses, and beards. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is already the fifth wave of Turkic cavalry that Qin Mu has encountered who broke into the Great Wall of Sui, breaking villages and captivating Han people, coming and going freely, where does the government dare to manage.
The Turkic way of dealing with the Central Plains regime is nothing more than one principle -- weaker than me, and beat you like a grandson;
At the time of the Tuobo Khan, the northern part of the Central Plains was the time when the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi were at war, and the Turks were strong at this time, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, so the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi countries fought for the same Turkic friendship, and the Northern Zhou gave them 100,000 pieces of silk silk every year. The Turks who lived in Chang'an were treated with great courtesy, wearing silk fabrics with colorful embroidery and eating meat, and the Turks who received such preferential treatment often numbered as many as a thousand. The Northern Qi were afraid of harassment by the Turks, and they also bribed them with all the money in the treasury.
At that time, the Khan said to the ministers on the left and right: "But let me be filial to my two sons in the south, why worry about no evil." ”
In this way, the Turks also invaded the Central Plains every year, burning, killing and looting.
When the Sui Dynasty was founded, Emperor Wen Yang Jian conquered the Turks in the north, the Turks were troubled internally and externally, and were divided into two parts, the east and the west, and the world was the enemy.
However, when Yang Guang ascended the throne, the national strength of the Sui Dynasty reached its peak, he was ambitious, the southern and northern wars, but planted a big heel in Goryeo, but at this time the eastern/Turkic leader Shibi Khan was a person who was unwilling to be subordinate, in the eleventh year of the great cause in Yanmen Pass with hundreds of thousands of people who controlled the strings to surround the Sui Yang Emperor of the northern tour, if it were not for his wife Princess Yicheng cherishing the homeland and struggling to break the siege, probably the life of the Sui Yang Emperor would have ended.
At this time, it was the time of civil strife in the Central Plains, the Turkic forces were strong, with millions of troops, and the Khitan, Murwei, Tuyuhun, Gaochang and other countries all submitted to the Turks, and the Central Plains separatist forces Xue Ju, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou and others also submitted to Shibi Khan.
The Turks want to enter the pass, how dare the northern warlords, who are courtiers.
Qin Mu came from the south, the speed was not fast, it was autumn when he came to the north, this was the season of the southern invasion of the Turks, the people in the north were just slaves like livestock in the eyes of the Turkic nobles, if there were some skills to read and practice martial arts, it was okay, and those who did not have the ability were often bundled with ropes, one by one, when the spoils of war rushed to that side.
If the Han people did not obey at all, they killed them with sabers or spears, and if they were in the mood, they also took pleasure in the scene of the captured captives with a lasso and a lasso and a horse forward, and watched the Han people run behind the horses and fall to the ground, dragged to death.
Along the way, Qin Mu saw the bloody corpse that died on the stone road, the woman who died naked with her eyes wide open, and the madman who escaped with her life but was delirious, all of which made him deeply conscious:
What kind of hell is the so-called troubled times?
I saw that his two long legs seemed to be tireless, and within dozens of breaths, he caught up with the last one in the group of knights, the knight was also in danger, on the horse, but he turned around, bent the bow and shot at Qin Mu's chest, at this time Qin Mu was only about half a meter away from him, this arrow was as fast as a meteor, it was really good riding, good archery, and even more vicious.
When the dozen or so horsemen in front saw this person shoot this arrow, they all pulled the reins of their horses, not fleeing, but their eyebrows fluttered, and they laughed cruelly, this person who was behind was the leader of this group of people, and he turned around with one hand and practiced the arrow, seeing Qin Mu rushing over like this, where would he bypass him.
Qin Mu looked at the arrow in his chest, his body was short, and the side of his head was biting on the shaft of the arrow, the arrow was originally made of iron, and it was fast and poisonous when it was sent out with the sound of the wind, but Qin Mu bit it, but it was lying obediently between Qin Mu's teeth, unable to move at all, Qin Mu picked up the arrow with his right hand, and waved it forward, and the arrow shot into the air towards the Turkic soldier who thought that he had not had time to restrain his smile at the front of the team, a black light flashed, and the Turkic soldier was already dead and dismounted.
The last leader was even more shocked and angry, he practiced this arrow technique, killing the enemy is not counted, at such a close distance, no one can escape his sudden arrow, where do you know that the person in front of him not only escaped, but also killed one of his own with his backhand.
The Turkic people are the most fierce, he saw that Qin Mu had already stepped forward, and he did not retreat at all, but picked up the spear in his hand, stabbed it on the horse, and shouted something in his mouth, only to see that there were more than a dozen people behind him, one after another, with bows and arrows, urging the horses under him, and the two of them began to circle around.
Qin Mu knew that at this time, he must not be entangled with the person in front of him, let alone fall into the encirclement of this Turkic people, only to see him reach out and pull the horse's tail, kick the horse's buttocks with his foot, the war horse was in pain, and immediately galloped wildly, and the leader was even more caught off guard, his body was crooked, and the spear in his hand almost fell off, but Qin Mu took this opportunity to jump on the horse, and when he kicked sideways, the leader was kicked under the horse by him, but he still had one foot in the stirrup, he couldn't get out, he could only be dragged to the ground by the war horse, and he screamed in pain.
Qin Mu got on the horse, but also unscrupulous, I saw him pick up the quiver on the horse, his hand moved repeatedly, the arrows in the barrel shot towards the surrounding more than ten horses, those people had already seen his miraculous secret weapon technique, where did they dare to take it, they all shrank their heads and leaned over, where did they know that the arrow was not aimed at them, only to hear the horses under him screaming, and even worse, he also threw off the knight on the body, Qin Mu seized the opportunity, flew forward, and killed the team in the chaos one by one.
He looked at the mess on the ground, drew the swords of one of the Turkic soldiers, cut off the heads of them, put them in a sack, flew on his horse, and hurried further north.
When I arrived at the place of Yanmen Pass, there was no army stationed at this pass at this time, and even the warlords near there were not willing to spend their strength to deploy defenses here, only to see that on a hill in Yanmen Pass, there was a small wooden house, and there was a huge stone nearby.
Qin Mufei took the boulder on his body, and tied the severed head to one of the corners of the boulder, there were already nearly thirty air-dried heads on the stone, and the shape did not look like the people of the Central Plains, but these were the three teams of Turkic soldiers that Qin Mu had met earlier.
I saw Qin Mu hesitate slightly, stretched out his right hand, and used all his strength to point towards the boulder, only to see that his skin was not as blue and black as before, but his fingers were as crystal as jade, glowing with a layer of white light.
He brushed a few times, and a few lines of large characters appeared on the boulder:
Anyone who dares to invade my territory and insult the people, I will strike at them.
If you dare to have princes in the north and claim to be vassals, I will attack them.
Those who dare to use their own hearts for the hearts of heaven and deceive the world, I should attack them.
After writing, the blood flowing from the skull on the boulder slowly leaked down, dyeing these lines of big characters red, adding a bit of ferocity.
