Chapter 173: The Role of Cold Arrows
The Qiang rarely fought in the spring. Just after a winter, all the livestock need to take care of themselves while the grass grows. Again, now is the time when the herdsmen are not able to take over, and no one has any extra military rations to fight. However, the Yellow Sheep tribe broke this pattern.
With the addition of Han merchants, the Huangyang tribe had a very comfortable life this spring, and even ten dolls were born in the tribe, and all of them were boys. After that bonfire, many women have a kind. This made Hivu Buki happy for several days. Population prosperity is the most desired thing for the Qiang tribe, and the Qiang people want to live in the Han people, but unfortunately the bitter cold of the grassland cannot be achieved.
With a large amount of grain, Rivu Buji personally led a large army to attack the yak tribe. originally planned to leave the third son Ke Muzhi to guard the camp, but after thinking about it, he still left the second son, Wala. This gave the elders of the clan a signal, and in an instant, there was a lot of noise outside Vala's tent.
"Big brother, my father asked me to tell you, and I will let you be a pioneer tomorrow!"
Ke Muzhi took Jalan Zhenbo to the battalion commander in Laikesen. Leksen's tent was very far from Vala's, and standing outside the tent, he could see the bustle near Vala's tent opposite. And all the men of the tribe went, taking with them their best steeds and their prettiest maidens. In the past, those people were regulars in the tent of Laikesen.
Ke Muzhi turned his head and glanced at it, and then said, "Big brother, let's go into the tent and talk, shall we?" It's windy here. ”
"Humph!" Leksen snorted coldly, glared at Ke Muzhi viciously, and turned into the tent.
The charcoal fire in the tent was burning hot, and it was warm. There are three or five empty wine jars on several cases. The smell of alcohol fills the air. At a glance, it was clear that after Lai Kesen was kicked out of the tent yesterday, he had been drinking in his tent.
Grabbing the wine stall and shaking it twice, he poured all the remaining wine into his mouth, and Laxon looked disdainful: "My father remembered me when I was fighting? Why didn't he let the second child go, and I stayed to watch over the camp. ”
"This is my father's decision, and naturally he has a reason."
"What's the truth? Is it because I'm not as brave as the second one in battle? Or am I not his biological son? ”
"Big brother!" Ke Muzhi didn't know how to comfort his eldest brother. A long time ago, Lai Kesen was a warrior of the Yellow Sheep tribe, and at that time, everyone thought that when he was old in the future, his successor would definitely be Lai Kesen. However, recently, the wind direction has changed, and many elders in the clan have turned their heads in favor of Vala, which makes Lexen, who has always been concerned, how can he stand it.
"Our three brothers can only work together to make our Huangyang tribe strong, the eldest brother is a tribal warrior, should be more able to understand the difficulties of our life, in the grassland will always be whose fist is big, who speaks will have weight, this time as long as the eldest brother bravely kills the enemy and comes back with victory, everything will change back to the original state!"
"Hahaha!" Lekson laughed: "My silly brother! Haven't you seen that the second child is more appreciated by my father than you and me? When I go back and tell my father, I will always put our Yellow Sheep tribe first, and I will definitely destroy the yak tribe and cut off Namco's head! ”
After speaking, Lai Kesen went to look for wine again, but unfortunately the remaining stalls were empty: "Come on, bring another jar of wine!" ”
Ke Muzhi didn't stop, shook his head and walked out of the tent in Laikesen. The Vala camp on the opposite side was even more lively, almost the entire tribe was there, Vala was full of red faces, and kept laughing with the people around her, causing the surrounding people to laugh loudly, and the sound spread far away, lingering in the sky above the Yellow Sheep tribe.
Jalan Zhenbo lowered his head and said nothing, walking behind Ke Muzhi. No one paid attention to the two of them, and no one beckoned them to come over and have fun together, as if the two of them didn't exist.
"You said that the second brother got carried away like this, is it really good?" Ke Muzhi suddenly stopped and asked Zhenbodao.
Jalan shook his head. Ke Muzhi was puzzled: "Then why is this second brother?" Couldn't he see in his cleverness that this would upset his father? ”
Jalan Zhenbo still shook his head, saying that he didn't know.
Finally, the day has come for the army to march. This time, Ri Wubuji was really angry, and almost half of the men in the Yellow Sheep tribe were transferred. The Qiang people, who are also herdsmen and soldiers, are warriors when they get on their horses, and herdsmen when they get off their horses. There are more than 3,000 men in the Yellow Sheep tribe, and 1,500 people have come to Riwubu. Such a large army is the sharpest army for any Qiang tribe.
As a pioneer, Lekesen set off early with people. Outside the camp now, there is only a brigade led by Riwubuji and Ke Muzhi, father and son. Thousands of horses bustle and sweep the dust of the early morning noise of the steppe. The high priest danced in the square, a ritual of communion with the god Shiraishi, and only with the approval of the god was that the war would be won. Riwu Buji led the people of the clan to kneel around in a regular manner, forming a huge circle.
"Ahh Dear White Rock God, your servant beseeches you to lower your guidance and lead our brave warriors to victory! ……”
Suddenly, the high priest fell to the ground as if he had suffered a stroke, and after a long time he sat up slowly, gasping for air. With the support of the two priests, the high priest came to Riwu Buji, one hand just above Ri Wu Buji's head, and said with a full heart: "The instructions of the White Stone God are very clear, our Yellow Sheep tribe is the ultimate victor!" ”
"Good ......!" The crowd cheered instantly, and the tension and depression just now were exhaled from between the chests and abdomen, and everyone's faces were replaced with smiles.
"Father, the child will definitely guard our camp and wait for his triumphant return!" Vala held a glass of mare's milk wine, a white drink mixed with the horse's pungent taste.
Riwubuki nodded, took the wine glass and drank it all, turned over on his horse, and waved his hand. The scene of thousands of horses galloping appeared on the grassland.
The old fox saw it clearly, got up and ran down the dirt bag. Under the soil bag, Su Kai lay on the ground, and the two horses beside him were grazing leisurely.
The old fox slapped Su Kai on the back: "There is absolutely no problem this time, the Yellow Sheep tribe is pouring out, and the old man of Riwu Buji personally leads the team, and Namu is going to drink a pot." ”
Su Kai watched the eagle soaring in the sky, holding a piece of grass in the corner of his mouth, comfortable and leisurely. The old fox's words were not spoken to him.
"Huh! You say, if this fights, will our mission be accomplished? After completing the task, can we go back to Wonsan? Following Su Kai's example, the old fox lay beside Su Kai and sighed softly: "Don't say it, this half a month is the happiest time I've ever had, if I really leave, I will miss the grassland." ”
"Rob whoever you want, this is what robbers should do, although we have tens of thousands of people in Yuanshan, sneaking around all day, it is really uncomfortable, if my old man dies in the future, he can become an eagle in the sky, and he must fly to the grassland."
Su Kai didn't speak, just lay quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. The old fox talked for a long time, felt bored, stood up, patted his buttocks, and kicked Su Kai: "It's really boring to talk to your stuffy gourd, let's go, we still have something to do!" ”
Nam Tso didn't return to his tribe, he robbed the Han caravan, and deceived Lai Kesen, guessing that Rivu Buji would never give up. As a shrewd man, he would not lead the waters of evil to his own tribe.
Lao Wang and his people are doing business in the camp of the horse tribe. In Lao Wang's eyes, every horse in exchange for that is a hundredfold profit, as for who is the most business-friendly and where to do business, there is no difference. He had no intention of going to Eagle Lake, and as a shrewd businessman, he would not go to the market where others already had the lion's share.
Namu came over with a smile: "Mr. Wang, what I said is right, right?" Trading here is definitely better than Eagle Lake, and that old boy not only restricts us from trading, but also collects your taxes, so that your profits will be much less. ”
Lao Wang smiled and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The leader is right, I will come here next time!" ”
"That's good! Mr. Wang, you can rest assured that as long as I am here, you will definitely get the maximum profit! ”
The two were chatting just right, and suddenly someone said a few words in Namco's ear, and Namco said goodbye with a smile. The shrewd old king still saw some ways from Namco's stunned gaze. Waiting for Nam to go away, he grabbed the guy next to him and ordered: "Go to the owner of the horse village immediately and let him get ready, we may have to leave at any time!" ”
The guy didn't hesitate, and hurriedly turned around to find Ma Sanpao.
By the time the vanguard led by Lexon arrived at the Horse Tribe, the Horse Tribe was ready, and the alliance of the three tribes far outnumbered the Yellow Sheep Tribe. Nam Tso was fearless, rode a big horse, and said to Lai Kesen with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is here again, but he has already convinced your stubborn father?" In that case, I'll send the Han caravan to Eagle Lake right away!" ”
"Phew! You shameful liar! Lai Kesen saw the itchy roots of Namu's hateful teeth: "The hijacked caravan is still rhetorical, today I am here to let you remember what the consequences will be if you dare to be an enemy of our Yellow Sheep tribe." ”
The leader of the horse tribe smiled: "Boy, you don't look at the formation, don't be ashamed, don't say it's you, even if the sun is not good, we are not afraid!" ”
"Woo......" The dull horn suddenly sounded. Three long and two short This is the signal for the withdrawal of troops, and a large group of cavalry on the high slope in the distance lined up and stood in a long line. The huge sheep's head is the mark of the Yellow Sheep tribe.
Despite his reluctance, he turned his horse around and prepared to withdraw his troops. The ridicule behind him made Laxon angry and bloody, and he wanted to kill it now. However, this is the battlefield, and in front of his father, he does not have the guts to come nonsense.
"Boy, where to go!" A shout was followed by a long arrow that suddenly flew out from behind Namtso. No one noticed the sudden change. The long arrow hit Lekson in the back, and the huge inertia shot Kesen on the horse's back.
"Kill ......!" An earth-shattering shout rang out, and the cavalry of the Alliance Horde screamed and rushed towards the vanguard of Lexen.
