Chapter 197: It's all credit under the knife!
Although the Yuwen clan is a Xianbei person, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been established for decades, and almost all the royal family has been sinicized, so when they were driven out of Jimen Pass thirty years ago, they all called themselves the Great Zhou, clamoring to restore the old capital.
Even today, thirty years later, these remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty still speak Chinese.
It's just that they have no choice but to regain their ancestors' old business and start a life of captivity.
There is no way, there were about 300,000 people who escaped from the customs in the Northern Zhou Dynasty that year, and now 30 years have passed, and the population has not risen but fallen, and there are less than 300,000 left, not because of "not working hard", but because there is not enough food to eat.
Therefore, they can only take risks again and again, entering the customs and plundering.
The most troublesome thing in the Central Plains Dynasty has always been these boring foreigners, firstly, they are very disgusting, and secondly, they are unable to communicate with each other, and they have no way to communicate if they want to.
But this remnant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is different, they speak Chinese and communicate very well.
Therefore, there is a conspiracy within them.
At midnight that day, about 600 light horsemen quietly touched Xiao Chen Jifengsui from the north.
These people, almost all of them on horseback, with a scimitar at their waists, a short bow on their backs, and leather armor kneaded from animal fur, were as swift as the wind, and they rushed towards Xiao Chen Jifengsui with a roar.
In this era, there were no thermal weapons, so the role of the beacon was only to ignite the beacon fire warning, and then return fire with a bow and crossbow, but these light horsemen were very fast, and often quickly bypassed the beacon to get what they wanted.
Xiao Chen Jifeng was silent.
The leader of this raid is named Yuwen Muqing, in his thirties, with a beard, thirty years ago, he could still be called the Northern Zhou clan, but now he can only become a bandit leader, he lives a thousand steps away from Xiao Chen Ji, frowning and looking at the Fengbao not far away.
"It's strange, it stands to reason that at this time, they should have discovered us anyway, why haven't they reacted yet?"
"Wouldn't it be better if no one found out?"
A big man said in a rough voice in Yuwen Muqing: "The wheat over there in Xiao Chen Ji has just been cut, and now there is harvest grain everywhere, as long as we can kill Xiao Chen Ji this time, we can at least get enough grain for the tribe to eat for two or three months." ”
After the defeat of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it has now become a scattered sand, divided into small tribes, and they are one of the small tribes, and the whole clan is probably less than 10,000 people.
The commander in his thirties took a deep breath and said coldly: "That's the truth, no matter how many there are, if we take this beacon, all the grain in Xiao Chenji's will be ours, and it will be enough for us to eat until autumn!" ”
"Let's rush over!"
It is impossible to bypass this beacon, because if you don't meet the enemy, you can reach Xiaochenji, but afterwards you will be surrounded by the border army of this beacon, and after the beacon is lit, they will be surrounded, and none of them will be able to leave!
You can only kill first!
When they rushed to the bottom of the beacon, the beacon fire was suddenly ignited!
The beacon fire of the beacon is the fire at night, and the wolf smoke during the day, and the fire on the beacon tower is everywhere at this time, almost illuminating the vicinity into daylight.
Feathered arrows burst through the air.
Yuwen Muqing roared loudly!
"They have already discovered us, sons, kill them, and the whole family will be able to eat their stomachs!"
For them, there is nothing to be afraid of on the battlefield, because if they do not win, they will starve to death, and starvation is the most terrible thing compared to death in battle.
Xiao Chen's four hundred people began to arrange tripping ropes while staying in the room, but their archery skills were not as good as those of these foreigners who were home to archers and horses, and after a while, there were many casualties.
At the same time, Li Xin and the others, who were stationed near Xiao Chenji, also saw the beacon fire, and Li Xin immediately got up and ordered his sentry officers to beat the drum.
Yu Linwei's discipline was still very good, although it was late at night, but after a while, four hundred neatly dressed Yu Linlang had already gathered.
Li Xin pointed to the fire that came out of the beacon not far away, and shouted: "Brothers, the beacon fire is rising, when the beacon has encountered the enemy, as the army of the Son of Heaven, I should garrison the territory for the Son of Heaven, everyone tidy up the swords, bows and crossbows, and prepare to march!" ”
Although this passage is old-fashioned, it must be said, and it must be made for these Yu Lin Lang to think that they have "encountered" an enemy attack.
The Yulin Army under Li Xin's hands were all martyrs, and there were few cowards, and they were all excited and eager to try when they heard the words.
Li Xin said loudly: "Everyone obeys the command of Captain Wang, and you can't act without authorization, and those who violate it will be beheaded immediately!" ”
"My Yulin Wei has seventeen forbidden and fifty-four slashes, and those who retreat from the battle are slashed, don't forget!"
Wang Zhong immediately began to organize the formation, and the four hundred people were divided into four squads by him, and marched towards Xiao Chen Jifengsui.
Xiao Chenji was actually some distance away from Fengsui, and by the time Li Xin arrived at Fengsui, the Fengsui soldiers had already been entangled with the enemy in the remnants of Zhou.
There were corpses all over the ground, some of them still lit by firelight, and the smell of burnt was very unpleasant.
The old lieutenant Wang Zhong shouted, and the two rows of Yu Linwei in the back immediately began to release arrows.
Although Yu Linwei has not been on the battlefield, but as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, their daily training is very large, and even better than these border troops, archery is the least ability, every Yu Linlang can be a crossbowman when he is placed in the border army.
A rain of arrows whistled down.
After two volleys, many of the enemy in the remnants had already suffered many casualties, and many of them had the idea of retreating and began to prepare to flee on horseback.
Everyone has a horse for these people, and as long as they run a certain distance, Li Xin and the others will not be able to catch up no matter what.
Li Xin and Mu Ying, both sitting on horses, participated in this fight, and chased after these remnant enemies.
In the chaos, Li Xin drew his knife and slashed at the back of an enemy, and the man suddenly turned back, his eyes widened angrily, and he was about to swing the scimitar at Li Xin!
Li Xin's hand was forced, and this person was killed instantly!
Yuwen Muqing, who was participating in the melee, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately shouted loudly: "They have reinforcements, we are fooled, and we are ready to retreat!" ”
Li Xin slashed a person to death with a knife again, and after a few months of fist stakes, his strength and reaction speed were even better than ordinary people, and he killed two people in a row, but he was not injured.
After shooting a few enemies who had gone far with his longbow, Wang Zhong, the old lieutenant, jumped to Li Xin's side in a few strokes and shouted, "Boy, borrow your dark cloud horse!" ”
With that, he jumped onto Li Xin's dark cloud horse, and together with Mu Ying, chased after the small group of enemies who had escaped.
Li Xin took a deep breath and shouted at Yu Linlang behind him: "Brothers, this is both a frontier and a vanity fair, and what you have under the knife is a visible credit!" ”
"Kill people and set fires, get promoted and get rich!"
"Do it!"
Four hundred black-clothed feather forest langs, like black tigers descending from the mountain, rushed to kill these Northern Zhou enemies who had not escaped yet!
