Chapter Seventy-One: My Name
When the army walks, there are people and horses neighing everywhere, and the soldiers and horses in Yanbei are even more so. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sound of horses' hooves on the ground frightened Su Li, who was waiting for the Han army outside the tribe, and the impatient tribal leaders.
Although they had already thought in their hearts about what it would be like for 20,000 Han troops to assemble in the tribe, they had no estimate of what Yan Beibei carried...... Tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, pigs and horses were driven forward by the Han knights, and the elite cavalry who went forward held spears and halberds, whether it was a sharp ring knife or a strong bow and crossbow, as well as a high-headed horse from Xianbei outside the Saiwai, they all made them feel dizzy.
What made Su Li's eyes shine the most was the iron armor worn by the Han army, the iron weapons, and the layers of formations between the Han army's marches!
What made the man called Chen Tang in the Han Dynasty say the bold words of 'one Han enemy and five hu'? It's a weapon, it's armor, and it's also the army organization of the Han army, which far exceeds that of the Hu people!
The physical fitness of people is not much different, and even the bravest samurai can be killed by a sergeant wearing iron armor and holding a sharp blade...... Just like the Hu people are most afraid of the Han army, that is, when their army is out of formation.
Su Li knew this very well, if it was the Han lieutenant and two personal entourage yesterday, he would have been able to fight them to a draw if he randomly picked out three personal guards and rode on horseback, but if he picked out one of the Han army in front of him, he would definitely not be able to defeat six hundred people from the tribe.
What's more, at this time, in front of him was the Han army that could not be seen at a glance, and the array of large armies was strict, and the voices of people and horses were terrifying.
"That young man, is he a general of the Han Dynasty?"
Su Li looked at the figure of the front of the military formation surrounded by many riders with helmets and armor, and sniffed at the leaders of the tribes on the left and right in disbelief, the young man looked very powerful, a rebellious color, the most striking thing was a pair of eagle eyes on his cold face, and at this time this gaze was scanning on himself, Su Li did not hesitate to look at the past with the same gaze.
He was secretly surprised in his heart, in Xianbei, although it was not the same to be a tribal leader to a young man like him, but in the end, his father was an old leader, and there was nothing wrong with him being the new leader, as long as many tribal leaders recognized it. But as far as he knew, this was not the case in Handi...... At least in his lifetime, he had never heard of such a young general in the Han Dynasty!
Looking at this powerful Han army, Su Li slowly frowned, although there were countless Han troops within his sight, but he obviously felt that this was only nearly 10,000 troops, didn't the messenger yesterday say that they had 20,000 people? Was it to scare him or was there something else going on?
No matter what Su Li was thinking here, Yan Bei just looked at him and shifted his attention to dividing the territory.
"Sun Qing, your troops and horses are stationed on the periphery, and your captain's department and Sun Qing are horns of each other...... You ordered Mr. Fu to come and set up seven camps, leaving room for me in between. Yan Bei stepped on the horse and galloped left and right, assigning the place where his subordinates were going to camp, and kept shouting to make him look more like the owner of the land than Su Li, "Let the three men and horses with livestock speed up!" ”
The reason why Su Li thought that Yanbei had another plan was because Yanbei left three soldiers and horses of the lieutenant department to drive the livestock of the brigade, and galloped in the front line with the herald riders, but in a moment, the Xianbei people heard the sound of the ground shaking and the mountains swaying, mixed with the neighing of cows and sheep and horses.
The Hu people, who grew up in the grasslands, knew this sound very well, but even the oldest herdsman could not imagine the huge herd of cattle and sheep that the Han generals galloping away from the distance were.
Hearing the voice, Yan Bei smiled, because he saw the movements of the Xianbei people running to tell each other, and he didn't need to look at him to guess how much shock he had brought to these stuffed Hu people.
The proud Han Dynasty general turned over and dismounted with a beautiful and decisive attitude, threw out the reins of his horse casually, and in the blink of an eye, a sturdy red-armored guard took it safely in his hand, and then strode forward with the sound of armor colliding.
"Your Excellency must be called the young heroes of the grassland by my subordinates, a certain Yanbei, the cold winter will disturb your department a lot." Yan Bei's gestures are with a Han heroic temperament, since the dismount without the slightest slack, the first moment in front of Su Li stands, the next moment he straightens his spine with his left hand and his right hand is chest and arches, making a standard bow salute, only then he smiled at Su Li and said: "Look at Your Excellency Haihan!" ”
The heroism of the two armies as if they were meeting each other without any precautions amazed Su Li and his subordinates.
However, in fact, Yanbei is not as simple as Xianbei people imagined, not to mention that it is not enough to wear two layers of rhino leather armor on his body in order to meet Su Li, and he even feels safe with a layer of iron leaf armor, only revealing the iron scarf in the middle of his eyebrows and lips to protect his entire head. The highest part of the armor armor completely overlaps the neck with the hood, and the entire upper body is protected by iron leaf armor, and the whole person looks very burly. And the silver-cyan ribbon on his waist hangs a small gold seal, which is the seal of the rebel Zhennan general made by Zhang Chun for Yanbei.
Not to mention his own protection, the crossbow ten steps away can not be injured, and there are also Gao Ran and Wang Dang, who are also wearing big armor and wearing a hood, Gao Ran is standing on the right side of Yanbei with a Zhangwu iron spear, and Wang Dang is standing proudly with an iron shield in his left hand with a waist crotch ring knife, and the Xianbei man who stares at him with angry eyes is hairy.
Tie Armor and Gao Lan Wang gave Yanbei the confidence to look at a group of Xianbei people, and the four captains behind him were all arranged in battle formations, the two wings of the light cavalry infantry of the Chinese army, and the forward was played by a strong crossbow, ensuring that once the two sides clashed, in the shortest possible time, the frustration of the Chinese army would order the forward to kill a bloody road, and the three of Yanbei returned to the formation, and Wang Yi and Sun Qing led the cavalry from the Xianbei tribe to advance and strangle...... As for if you are frustrated, you are unwilling to send troops to rescue? Will Li Damu, who is carrying a sword and a horse beside him, make people cut off his financial route?
Based on all of the above, Yanbei dared to step out of the army, facing Su Li with a heroic attitude, and regarded his more than 1,000 galloping horses as nothing.
Although he took 10,000 steps back, Yanbei didn't have to act like this, with 20,000 soldiers and horses behind him, as long as he was not stupid, he would not kill him and let the entire tribe be buried with him. But what Yan Bei wants is not to let the many brothers who follow him die for him to avenge his death.
Not to mention more, Yan has never thought of being the king and hegemon, but more or less after his death, what real men who write straight books will compile his life into history and crown it with titles such as family and Benji, right?
When Yan Bei stood in front of Su Li, Yan Bei, who was covered in iron armor, brought him a sense of oppression, and he was immediately even more frightened...... Su Li himself was already very tall in Xianbei, eight feet, but now standing in front of Yan Bei, it was difficult to look down, and even looked up slightly.
Thinking of this, Su Li realized that he had unconsciously bent his spine when facing Yan Bei, and quickly took a deep breath and stood upright, then he stroked his chest with his right hand and said, "I am Su Li, and I have seen General Yan." The generals are very powerful, and they are sent to Suli, and they already look up to Suli, Your Excellency...... Please join the tribe and drink a pot of thin wine to wash away the dust. ”
Already standing at the door of other people's tribes, where is there a reason not to enter, Yan Bei glanced back, and the captains of the various departments had already begun to prepare to camp in the pre-designated place, and slowly nodded and smiled at Su Li: "Please!" ”
Yanbei has entered many tribes of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people on the grassland, but none of them have been as proud and upright as they are now, as if they were patrolling their own territory. Before he entered the Suli tribe, he thought that the Suli tribe was already a relatively large second-rate tribe on the grassland, maybe it could be different from those small tribes, but it actually disappointed Yanbei...... This tribe, though very large, is as obscurantist as other small tribes.
There is only basic barter, felt tents are tied in groups of three or five with blood relations, and the open space between the tents is connected to become a road, and there are one or two felt tents that look more luxurious than others in every dozen or dozens of laughing groups, and the tribes are full of hunting dogs, and dogs can be heard barking everywhere they go, and occasionally there is a loud eagle chirping in the sky, which sounds ethereal and lonely.
There is too much difference between this place and the Han family city, and it took a long time for this tribe to be completely displayed in front of Yanbei in the eyes of Yanbei. In his opinion, the only desirable thing among the Xianbei tribe is their military achievements. The Xianbei horse archers who had shaved off their hair roamed around the tribe, and at intervals of no more than a hundred paces, they would encounter a patrol of the Xianbei people or a bearded archers with strange hairstyles on the sentry posts.
When they walked to the tall felt tent belonging to Su Li, and looked at the long banner erected outside the tent, even Yan Bei couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Excellency's felt tent is really magnificent!" ”
The wind swept up the tail of the leopard, and the long banner was waved in the wind, and the Xianbei text that Yanbei could not understand was written on it with animal blood, which made Yanbei feel a strong exotic style. Men have always loved things like flags and flags, because these objects unfurled in the wind are a symbol of men's blood and the light of the blade.
Seeing Yan Bei's gaze fixed on the leopard tail flag, Su Li licked his lips and said to Yan Bei with pride and admiration: "General Yan, this long flag is like a banner in your army, and Su Li's ancestors don't know how much blood they shed to keep this leopard tail flag.
Yan Bei smiled, nodded and said, "Yan is very clear...... In order to write my surname on the flag, Yan doesn't know how many people he has killed. ”
As the son of a slave who was inferior to the common people, he should not have ambition, because the whole world would not think that he was not worthy of it, even though his so-called ambition was only to live on an equal footing with the nobility. But who knows where man's ambition arises? Maybe it's just the smell of a horse's meat.
