Chapter 797: Wreckage under the Rainstorm
The sky was overcast, gray-black clouds were piling up in the sky, and all the light around it was gradually dimming, as if it was going to rain, and it looked like heavy rain.
Behind the grassy slope came the figures of knights, dressed in leather robes, and there seemed to be a layer of leather armor under the leather robes......
"Half on the perimeter, half rushing in."
The knight at the head said calmly: "Take advantage of the heavy rain to end the battle!" ”
After the knight finished speaking, he directly slapped his horse and rushed to the place where the smoke rose, and the cavalry behind him also silently patted the horse and followed, and the horse's hooves stepped on the green grass, crushing the grass into the dirt, and lifting up a little mud spot and grass dust.
Tents made of black and gray wool felt carpets are scattered across the grass.
In fact, the tents on the grassland also have some similarities with the wooden houses in the Han area, the four corners of the tent are nailed with wooden stakes to provide enough traction for the hemp rope, and they are erected on the thick wooden pillars in the center of the tent, plus the wooden stakes around the tent wall, the support strength is basically enough, plus the thick felt blanket and hay are filled in the gaps, and then tied tightly with ropes, which is not only warm but also not too afraid of the invasion of wind and snow.
This tribe is not too big, only one or two hundred people.
The weather was not good, so the herdsmen drove the cattle and sheep into the fence early, and then took advantage of the heavy rain to raise the fire, on the one hand, to ward off the cold, and on the other hand, to cook.
A few idle Xianbei people put their hands in their sleeves and chatted against the wooden fence, not knowing what they were talking about, and from time to time they let out a laugh or two.
Hu Nu was in and out of the tent with wooden basins and ingredients, obviously cooking the family's dinner, and from time to time she shouted at a few children on the side, as if to tell them to prepare for dinner, and as if to remind them that it was going to rain, and those children ignored Hu Nu at all, still rolling on the grass next to the tent, playing a game of wrestling.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky in the distance, and after a few moments, a dull thunder rolled through the distant clouds, and the rumbling sound came from far to near.
A few Xianbei people standing next to the fence looked up and listened to the thunder, thinking that maybe the rain would come soon, so they ended the small talk and walked back slowly with their sleeves on......
Suddenly, the smile of one of the Xianbei people suddenly froze, and he directly fell to the ground, putting his ear on the grass, and after a while, this Xianbei person's face was instantly gloomy like a dark cloud in the sky, and he shouted loudly by pulling his neck!
In fact, at this time, there was no need for him to shout, and the other personnel in the tribe also noticed that the sound of horses' hooves was approaching like rolling thunder, and after a moment of silence for the whole tribe, it was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed hard, and the "buzz" instantly became noisy and chaotic.
The Xianbei people in the tribe, whether old or young, all rushed to their tents to get their weapons with shouts, while the Hu Nu cried and shouted the names of her children, desperately looking for her own small figure in the chaotic crowd......
A Xianbei man rushed out of the tent with a bow and arrow, and immediately opened his bow and shot an arrow, which drew a long arc and rushed straight at the cavalry leading the way forward.
The cavalry led by the cavalry was as heavy as water, shook off a spear flower with his hand, and easily knocked the attacking arrow away, and then swept by the side of this Xianbei man like the wind, and a huge blood flower bloomed from the throat of the Xianbei person.
More cavalry poured into the camp, accompanied by the thunder in the sky, slashing and crushing all the way.
A Xianbei man sprang out from the side, and before he could raise his knife to cut, he was hit by an oncoming horse, and was knocked back into the tent with a bone cracking sound, but the horse also stumbled, and suddenly the horse lost its front hooves, and with the neighing of the war horse, the rider on the horse's back was thrown to the ground.
The fallen cavalry held on, trying to stand up, but two or three Xianbei people had already surrounded them, and they slashed with their swords!
The cavalry who landed on the ground hurriedly raised their swords to parry, but they could not block the right side when they blocked the left side, and although they tried to avoid the fatal slash as much as possible, there were also several wounds on the arms and thighs......
A spear sprang out from one side, and the swirling red tassels bloomed like bright red flowers, instantly piercing a Xianbei man besieging the landed cavalry, and then pumping another one, instantly relieving the pressure on the landing knight.
The cavalry who landed on the ground roared angrily, held their swords in both hands, and slashed at the only remaining Xianbei man beside him. The Xianbei people also struggled to raise their knives to parry, but the war knives in their hands were cut into two with a "bell" in the splashing of sparks.
In the sound of "poof", the landed cavalry slashed at the neck of the Xianbei man with a non-stop knife, deeply cutting a huge wound, and the blood instantly sprayed all over his face......
Although the Xianbei people within the tribe fought bravely, they were suddenly attacked, and there was no time to organize a decent counterattack, and after the cavalry set fire to many tents on the ground, the whole tribe was completely plunged into uncontrollable chaos.
Felt blankets and hay are good for keeping warm and windproof, but they are also extremely susceptible to ignition. For a moment, the entire tribe was full of smoke and fire, and the panicked Xianbei people rushed around, and then most of them were crushed under the hooves of the horses as they sprinted back and forth.
Some of the Xianbei fled to the periphery, but they didn't make a few steps, and were either shot down by the cavalry cruising around the perimeter, or they were directly slashed and killed.
The flames burned violently, and as tents collapsed, and in the light of the fire, the figures of the Xianbei men fell one by one, then the women, then the children, and then the slashing voices of the entire tribe slowly became faint, and finally fell silent.
"Uledstra Thonya?"
A slightly stiff nonsense sounded.
"Teemo."
Another flash of lightning struck, accompanied by thunder, and raindrops the size of beans began to crackle and fall.
The cavalrymen who attacked the tribe whistled, and then the horse-bearers led the horses, and the sheep grabbers grabbed the sheep and left with the booty.
The sound of horses' hooves faded away, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the fire in the tribe was slowly extinguished by the heavy rain.
Under a collapsed tent, half-burned felt moved a few times, and then two or three little heads came out from underneath, and the little faces were full of horror.
"Aba! Eji! Abel! Woohoo......"
"Ahma! Woohoo......"
The torrential rain poured down, and everything around was blank, and even the wreckage in the tribe was gradually covered by the rain and fog.
Looking at the dead and silent ruins of the tribe, several Xianbei children hugged each other, crying and trembling in the bone-chilling heavy rain......
