Chapter 168: Enemy Attack

With Yun Xiao's order, Xiao Xiong rushed in with a team of black-armored cavalry like wolves. But after a while, the bear walked out dejectedly.

"Master Hou, Zhuangzi is empty. Not to mention people, not even a chicken or a dog remained. Many people's pots have been taken away, and it looks like they are moving from home. ”

Yun Xiao looked at the wheat fields that had turned slightly yellow, and said with a smile: "No, the people take food as the sky." The fruits of this year's labor are in front of them, and they are reluctant. Besides, where there are people, there is a road. Ordered the scouts to search along the main road, and I estimate that there must be a great city within fifty miles. If we don't, we're going to be living in this big city this winter. Let's go to Zhuangzi and wait, I want to see who these people are. ”

A large group of people entered this Zhuangzi, and the Zhuangzi was very large. The largest house in the center of Zhuangzi is actually an adobe house, and Yun Xiao estimates that this is the house of the owner or someone else. After carefully inspecting the room, Yun Xiao found that whether it was the shape of the pot stove or the direction of the mat. They are all somewhat similar to Jiangnan, and I have been to many farmhouses when I was suppressing bandits in Jiangnan. Yun Xiao still has a good understanding of the shape of the farmhouse in the south of the Yangtze River.

A person or a group of people emigrates to another place. Especially in this kind of place in the era of flood and famine, the living habits will not change. In the later generations of Northeast China, although he has been living in Northeast China for many years. But ethnic Koreans living in northeastern China still sleep on the kang.

The native Han people in the Northeast stubbornly insist on hot kangtou. Although Yun Xiao can't say which is better or worse, this is a national habit. Judging from the furnishings of this house and even the shape of the home layout. This is almost a Jiangnan farmhouse.

Could it be that in the Western Han Dynasty, there was actually a group of Han people from the south of the Yangtze River who crossed the ocean and came to Korea with a pioneering spirit. No wonder these guys say that the Mid-Autumn Festival was invented by Koreans, and it seems to make some sense in this regard. However, it is a bit far-fetched to say that Confucius was Korean. After all, Lu Guo, no matter how you calculate, it doesn't seem to be in Jiangnan. Could it be that there are still immigrants from Shandong? Doesn't that mean that it was the Chinese who invented the Koreans? The more this account is calculated, the more confused it becomes.

The guards searched the room inside and out, and even wanted to dig out the mouse hole. Seeing that it was already past noon, the guards began to cook on the stoves of the farmers.

Most people in these days have the habit of eating two meals a day. Keyunjia always insists on three meals a day. It's not just the Yun family. This is also the habit of the whole Lintong. If you are on Chang'an Avenue, you are hungry at noon. If you have to go to the restaurant to rub a meal, it must be Lintong people.

These guards recruited by the Yun family are all muscular men who are hungry and full at home. When I arrived at Yun's house, three meals a day were guaranteed. The body is even more of a top stick. Li Guang looked at the Yun family's guards and said. It is impossible to pick out such a cavalry from the battalion of hundreds of thousands of people in the Northern Army.

Marching to fight. Food can only be simple. Somen noodles are the best ration for the march, and the dried noodles are served in a soup pot. A tenth of a cup of tea can be used to cook a large bowl of fragrant noodles, and if you put a large piece of beef jerky in it. Paired with a pack of kelp, the thirteen incense extracted from it. That taste is that Liu Che also wants to take a bowl to taste. The imperial chef of Weiyang Palace has never cooked such a taste.

The Zhuangzi was filled with the smell of boiled noodles, and the big mouth of the marching pot was opened. A puff of steam rose into the sky, except for the guy on duty. The rest of the people all took rice bowls, and one person scooped up a large pot of noodles. Suck and eat non-stop, so many people eat noodles together. That voice can really be called majestic.

At this moment, the sound of "pop", "pop" and "pop" three consecutive monkeys came into people's ears, and the east of Zhuangzi suddenly became chaotic. Yun Xiao put down the rice bowl. Carrying a telescope, I climbed up the ladder to the roof.

On the main road, three cavalrymen were galloping towards Zhuangzili. Behind them, five or six hundred cavalry were in pursuit. The three cavalrymen in front were none other than the Yun family's scouts, and the guys chasing behind them were wearing shiny armor. Wielding a sword in his hand, although it looks terrifying. But their horses were not complimentary.

These horses were not much bigger than donkeys, and the feet of a man riding on them were more than a foot above the ground. The speed of running is even more anxious, compared to the Dawan horse of the Yun family scout. It really seems to be Chery QQ vs. Ferrari, Yun Xiao thought that if it wasn't for the scouts, he was in a hurry to come back and report the news. Exhausted, these hundreds of people can't catch up with them.

The scouts ran into Zhuangzi, and the cavalry was still two miles away. Stationed to the east of Zhuangzi was Dai Yu, and Yun Xiao was not at all worried about the combat power of Jing Chu's first swordsman. Ordered the noodles to be served, and watched the battle while eating the noodles. The cook gave Hou Ye a bowl of soup very stiffly, and put a big spoonful of beef in it.

The cavalry followed the scouts and rushed into the Zhuangzi, probably yesterday's victory. Or the huge advantage in numbers that makes them dare to be so bold. But when they galloped about 300 paces away from Zhuangzi, they rained crossbow arrows.

Those who ran at the front were shot and fell off their horses, and the armor on their bodies had no protection at all. Like chopsticks bucket preserved eggs, many people were shot in half.

The cavalry were horrified that such a dense rain of arrows was shot from behind the walls, roofs and even ditches in the Zhuangzi. For a while, they couldn't figure out how many people there were in Zhuangzi.

Just as they were about to turn their horses and prepare to retreat, another wave of arrows flew over. These arrows were so sharp and accurate that the cavalry had no time to block them, and suddenly a large number of them fell.

These cavalry ran back as if they were desperate, but the soul-chasing crossbow arrows still chased the cavalry to reap their lives. Yun Xiao watched while eating, and beckoned down. An iron guard carried a copper kettle and handed it over, and it was the most refreshing to have a sip of wine at this time.

Dai Yu will also play tricks, and he is no longer the first swordsman of Jing Chu who only knows how to fight and rush. Put the mule riders into the shot, even if they escaped 200 paces, they were still within the range of the iron-tired crossbow. It didn't look like there was a need to send out cavalry, and at least half of the guys had to be thrown at this distance of two or three hundred paces.

Sure enough, when these guys left the range of the iron-tire crossbow. There were already many corpses lying on the ground.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in Zhuangzi, and Dai Yu rushed out with a large group of cavalry. Yun Xiao knew that none of these guys might come back. Their horses ran too slowly, and they were not comparable to the Yun family's Dawan horses at all. With such a competitive running style, it is estimated that it will not take long to be shot clean by Dai Yu.

"Let's see if there's one alive." Yun Xiao spoke to the guards under the room.

It's obviously too late to sue Dai Yu now, and it's only right to see if one of those corpses can be pulled out of a big one. Yun Xiao wanted to ask them what kind of people these guys were. Where they came from, where the city is. The king or the chieftain or the head of the group is who.

Anyway, Yun Xiao has a belly of question marks that he wants to ask, but he doesn't know if the killers' subordinates will have a living mouth. I guess it's difficult, these guys shoot chest ring targets when they train. so that their crossbow arrows and arrows beckoned to men's chests. According to the strength of the iron-tired crossbow, it should be difficult to not die at such a distance.

Sure enough, the guards wasted a lot of strength and finally found a seriously injured one. It took a long time to lift it in front of Yun Xiao, but he didn't wait for Yun Xiao to ask. The guy roared and gasped for a few breaths, and his legs kicked and he was out of breath.

"Master Hou......" The guards were annoyed by this guy's fragile vitality.

"Forget it, don't talk about it. Go and call those two scouts to me, and I'm going to have a question. Yun Xiao waved his hand, and this guy was hit by three arrows in the chest, and he was pulled by his arms and legs in front of him. Being able to pour a few breaths desperately is already Xiaoqiang's possession, and it seems that he can't be harsh on him anymore.

The three scouts were brought over, and when they saw Yun Xiao, they hurriedly bowed.

"Where did you three meet them? Did you find anything? ”

"Back to the Hou Ye's words, the villain found them about ten miles east of Zhuangzi. These people were coming along the road in the direction of Zhuangzi, and when the villain saw that there were many of them, he shot two of them. Then he took his brothers back to Zhuangzi to report the news. ”

"You mean, when you met them. Are they heading towards Zhuangzi? ”

"Yes, Lord Hou? When the villain met them, they were indeed heading towards Zhuangzi. ”

"It's not good, hurry up and chase Dai Yu. Let him come back! Yun Xiao yelled at one of the guards.

A cavalry of hundreds of men rushed towards this Zhuangzi, and it is needless to say that this is the precursor of the march. Since there is a leader, there will inevitably be a large team of men and horses behind.

Dai Yu only brought out more than 300 people, if he faced a large force of enemy troops...... Let's hope yesterday's story won't be repeated.

"No" Seeing that Yun Xiao was in a hurry, the iron guard hurriedly flew on his horse and chased in the direction where Dai Yu disappeared.

Yun Xiao wondered, the person who ambushed the bear yesterday was very patient. It must have been observing the bear all day, so he set up an ambush in the favorable terrain and took the bear in one fell swoop. But this guy who came today seems to be very impatient, and he is a bit of a position to fight with his real guns. Are they two generals, or is it Yan zhòng's split personality? Yun Xiao was puzzled.

Thankfully, Dai Yu came back uncovered. What made Yun Xiao even more excited was that this guy also brought back a live mouth. Despite being pierced by an arrow in the shoulder, it doesn't look like it's going to hang up right away.

"Master Hou, get a live one. This guy's accent is actually a bit like Jiangdu's accent, as long as he speaks slowly, he can still understand a rough idea. ”

Behind Dai Yu were two guards escorting a short, stout man with dark eyes that looked like mice. (To be continued......)
