Chapter Seventy-Three: Attack and Kill
Tuduo and Le Ran led their tribesmen to Yunxiao's camp with cattle and sheep, and they also brought 3,000 Le Sister Qiang's women. Look at their strong figures, you can see that these women are not easy to match.
Seeing that each of them was holding an iron blade in his hand, Yun Xiao smiled. After being armed by Yun Xiao, these Le Sister Qiang women now have strong combat effectiveness.
"Honorable Marquis, as you commanded, we will offer cattle and sheep to serve you. I would like to be your whip to herd your horses, and I am willing to be your sword to help you defeat your enemies. We have brought with us the strongest of the three thousand people, and I ask your esteemed Marquis to allow us to fight for you. ”
Tuduo was far less arrogant than he was when they first met, and now the boss of Sister Le Qiang was as well-behaved as a mouse who saw a cat. Now he is prostrate at Yun Xiao's feet, kissing Yun Xiao's boots with his mouth.
Yun Xiao had no intention of letting the Qiang people help him fight, because the combat effectiveness of these Qiang people was too poor. Except for Wuduo, there are no long-range weapons, and facing the Huns who are skilled in bows and horses is simply sent to death.
But soon Yun Xiao had a new idea, and after thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of Yun Xiao's mouth.
The sky in May is very good, and the meadows are full of wild grass. Three or four hundred Huns drove their flocks of sheep and grazing unscrupulously on the territory of the Donghu people. The flock was very large, and the sheep brought back from the Xiongnu had already been either eaten or taken away by Da Danyu. Their current cattle and sheep were all snatched from the Donghu herdsmen.
This is their ration, and this time they came out without much to eat. Basically, it's about grabbing where to eat.
Gu Lihan is the leader of the hundred horses, and the gentle grass and blue sky remind him of his hometown in the grassland. But now it is difficult for the grasslands to have such fat and strong animals. A rare white plague killed the creatures of the grassland. The cattle and sheep, who barely survived on hay, were also horribly thin.
There were less than 200 sheep left in his sheepfold, all of them skinny and skinny. The water and grass in Donghu are so good, and the sheep are all fat. Gulhan really wants to stay here forever and not have to go back to his hometown in the grassland. As long as the family is brought in, where is it not the shepherd's house?
The Hun men were a little hot, and they took off their leather robes and showed their dark skin bare-chested. Many of them still have scarring and arrow wounds on their bodies, which are the traces of these years of warfare. The Han people are getting worse and worse to rob, and the Great Wall of the Han people is getting longer and longer.
Their bows are as soft as soft eggs, but crossbow arrows are not easy to deal with. Many of their injuries were caused by crossbow arrows. The good thing is that they are all physically strong. There was no shot to the point. This is how he survived to this day, otherwise he might have reported to the Kunlun God like those partners who were shot.
Several Hun men began to look for something to burn and prepare to make a fire, and not far away there was a river with clear water. They were going to slaughter some sheep. There's nothing better to eat a hand-grilled lamb meal in such weather.
It's nice to have a forest. There are no woods on the prairie to burn dry cow dung. Those branches are easy to burn. It's easy to get again. The firewood that one person picked up for half a day could not move.
"Lord Gullihan, how many sheep are we going to slaughter this time?"
A Hun man with a knife asked Gu Lihan.
"It's good to kill one out of ten, one of these fat sheep is enough for ten people. Don't spoil it. The family is still hungry. Presumably, Da Shan Yu will also quickly capture Zhangye, and when Da Shan Yu returns to the north, we will also go back to the grassland to reunite with our families. Although there were no women and money on this trip, at least the family would not starve with these cattle and sheep. ”
Gu Lihan is in a good mood, and Da Dan Yu has been attacking Zhangye for almost a month. Presumably, there should be good news coming over, he has seen the siege tower. It is definitely a siege weapon, and with the help of this thing, it should not be difficult to defeat those Donghu people.
Looking at the fat cattle and sheep, Gu Lihan thought about returning to his hometown on the grassland as much as possible.
Gulhan stretched and prepared to take a nap in the grass. Wait for these guys to cook the hand-grilled lamb and have a full meal.
Suddenly, Gulhan sat up like a rabbit. Then put his ear to the ground, and more than one person did so beside him. They are all veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and this voice is all too familiar, it is the cavalry of the cavalry brigade charging in their direction.
Gulhan jumped up from the ground at once, moving as fast as a cat with its tail stepped on.
"Get on the horse, get on the horse. There is an enemy attack. ”
Gulihan frantically ran towards the war horse tied to the small tree, he was too careless how could the warrior be so far away from the war horse.
In the woods, the wind rushed out of a crowd of women, their hair scattered, their hands waving sticks. Some of them were armed with iron tools, but not many.
"Qiang!" Gu Lihan's eyes widened, how dare these Qiang people attack the men and horses of the Great Huns. If they can't go crazy, the Great Huns will use the most cruel means of revenge against them.
The reality didn't have time to think about it, and Gulhan hadn't run to the side of the horse yet. A Qiang man sped over, and a large wooden stick the thickness of his calf slammed into Gulhan's head with the wind.
Gulhan instinctively raised his arm to block, but with the help of horsepower, how could his arm resist. The stick smashed his arm, and the rest of his strength smashed his head like a watermelon. The shattered organization scattered in all directions, and Gulhan's body fell straight down. The liquid coming out of my head was still steaming.
Almost instantly, thousands of Qiang people rushed out of the woods. Only thirty or forty Huns grazing on horses were spared, and the rest of the Huns who rested in the meadows and lived by the river all ended up with Gulihan.
The thirty or forty Huns immediately turned their horses and ran, although the Huns were good at fighting. But one against ten, that's just to say, there aren't many people in this world who can fight ten with one. Manniu and Gong Along are definitely perverted beings.
Tudo did not chase after her, but ordered the sheep to be brought back from all the scattered flocks. Yun Xiao said that except for leaving it for the Han people to slaughter and eat meat, the rest belonged to them. There were six or seven thousand sheep in such a large flock. Even if she gave half to the Han people, Sister Qiang also made a windfall.
"Don't mind those people, keep these cattle and sheep in a circle. Let's go! ”
The women of Le Sister Qiang cleaned the battlefield very thoroughly, and the Huns' war horses and their blades and bows and arrows. Even the iron pot that boiled the mutton was not spared, but it took half an hour. All that was left of the pasture was a pile of fresh corpses and the dry firewood that had been collected to cook the mutton.
The vultures, which had been hovering in the sky for a long time, were the first to arrive at the scene of the incident, and then the steppe wolf, whose nose was more agile than that of a dog. These steppe cleaners are ready to fulfill their obligations.
"It was you, the Qiang, who attacked you and killed Gulhan."
The Qianqi Erluo, who was rewarded, simply didn't believe his ears, how could those Qiang people like savages dare to bully the head of the Great Huns. Did they think they were attacking the Donghu people? No, the Donghu people are dressed completely differently from the Huns. The Donghu people wore sheepskin robes, while the Huns wore thick cowhide robes, and the two were completely different.
"That's right, Lord Qianqi, three or four thousand rushed out of the woods in an instant, oh not five or six thousand Qiang people. They were all women, and their subordinates saw one of the tall Qiang men smash the head of Lord Gulhan. We hurried to report that the cattle and sheep were also snatched away by them. ”
"What?" Leerluo was even more anxious, there was nothing to eat for the thousand people under the command of these cattle and sheep themselves. Belch...... Now there are only five or six hundred people left.
Leerluo hurriedly rushed to the Phantom Moon King's tent with the guy who had run back to report the news.
"You said the Qiang attacked your grazing team, killing not only your men but also your cattle and sheep?"
"Yes, my lord, today my subordinates ordered half of the people to go out to graze according to the custom. As a result, dozens of people ran back in the afternoon, saying that they had been attacked by the Qiang people. Lord, you have to call the shots for your brothers. My people can't die in vain. ”
Leerlo was thrilled that Gulliham was his distant cousin. He has always been known for his resourcefulness and is his absolute right-hand man. Now this right-hand man is estimated to have been eaten by wild wolves.
"Hmph, those Qiang people actually dared to attack the soldiers and horses of the Great Huns. Don't worry, I'll get you justice. Help you recapture the cattle and sheep and kill all the Qiang people. (To be continued......)
