Chapter 263 sharp
"Eat!" Du Yu waved his hand.
The cavalry cheered and feasted on the barbecue.
However, many officers are worried. Two and a half months have passed since the March period...
There is not much food left.
The end of the grassland has been seen. The vast basin surrounded by mountains is as desolate and desolate as the ancient wilderness, with only rocks, Gobi and desert.
The howling wind is like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which never stops.
However, the relationship between the soldiers and this gentle commander became more and more harmonious.
How could the soldiers not like taking them galloping and hunting on the grassland every day, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food?
And he gradually adapted to life on the grassland.
The weather is high and the air is crisp, so we can ride freely in the strong wind.
Each one of them became more and more skilled in riding. They could eat and drink on the horse, defecate on the horse, and even fall asleep on the horse.
The skill of archery has advanced by leaps and bounds, everything flying in the sky and running on the ground have fallen down.
They eat well, drink well, and play well, and the soldiers are stronger than before.
Even the war horses were fed to make them stronger.
Zhou Zhi was very anxious. He was recommended by Lu Zhi and knew Lu Gong's intentions. He wanted to make great achievements and gain a place in Xiping.

However, Du Yu was not in a hurry. When he encountered a large group of tribes, he fled in panic. The small groups of tribes were also polite and offered their excellent horses and weapons in exchange for their cattle, sheep and bad wine.
I was plotted against, but I never cared about it.
Then we eat and drink freely on the grassland.
If Lu Zhi hadn't repeatedly emphasized that everyone should obey Du Yu, Zhou Zhi would have drawn his sword long ago.
Several times Zhou Zhi wanted to turn around and go back to the Western Capital to report this obscure long history, but in the end he endured it.
"Why is Captain Zhou so formal?" Du Yu brought a roasted leg of lamb.
Golden, oily and fragrant, it gives off an attractive luster under the spring sun.
Zhou Zhi's face kept beating with anger, and his throat kept swallowing saliva. However, he was arrogant and refused to accept Du Yu's kindness. He turned his head to the other side and no longer looked at Du Yu's face.
Unexpectedly, Du Yu didn't realize what was going on. He turned to the other side, handed the leg of lamb to Zhou Zhi again, and asked knowingly: "Why is this necessary, Lieutenant Zhou? Is there something wrong with you?"
Zhou Zhi felt that he had been provoked, and the blood in his chest rushed to his forehead. He really couldn't understand why Yang Zheng and Lu Zhi favored this person.
"You!" Zhou Zhi's hand holding the handle of the knife was trembling.
And this knife was given to him by Yang Zheng himself.
"You..." Zhou Zhi breathed heavily in his throat, and his chest was heaving violently.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand and pinched the leg of the lamb, like a ferocious hungry wolf, biting the mutton fiercely.
There was something in Du Yu's words: "Yes, he is worthy of being recommended by Duke Lu."
At this time, a scout came running and said, "Report to Du Changshi that the combined army of 37,000 Qiang and Hu tribes including the Three Wolf Qiang, Ruoqiang, Baihu, and Yuezhihu are surrounding us from the southeast, northwest, and northwest!" "
The scouts in the Guards Battalion are of extremely high quality and do not panic even with thousands of troops.
With a soft "click" sound, the leg of lamb in Zhou Zhi's hand fell to the ground.
Du Yu also looked bitter, "Say it again!"
"The three Wolf Qiang, Ruoqiang, Baihu, Yuezhihu and other eleven Qianghu tribes have a combined army of 37,000 horses, and they have surrounded us from the southeast, northwest, and all directions!"
"Say it louder!"
"The enemy's 37,000 horsemen have surrounded us from the southeast, northwest, and northwest!" the scout roared.
It was like a thunder crashing in the camp.
They were all laughing and joking just now, but now they are all stunned.
Three thousand cavalry versus thirty-five thousand cavalry...
Everyone can calculate this account.
Zhou Zhi angrily pulled out the ring-shou knife given by Yang Zheng and stared at Du Yu with red eyes, his anger already going to his head.
However, Du Yu was riding on the horse with a calm look on his face.
Not only is he calm, but his eyes are sharper than the refined ring-shou knife in his hand.
That's a sharp edge that can pierce people's souls!
In the past three months of getting along, Zhou Zhi had never seen Du Yu like this before, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
The scholar in front of him did not have extraordinary martial arts skills, nor did he have the murderous aura that Yang Zheng possessed, but he could still subdue himself.
In an instant, Zhou Zhi sobered up a lot.
He suddenly thought of another possibility.
Everything was done deliberately by the scholar in front of me.
They hide when they see large tribesmen in order to paralyze the Qiang Hu.
The purpose of trading with small tribes is to show one's wealth and stupidity and attract greedy Qiang and Hu tribes to come and besiege them.
How can we tolerate a fat sheep grazing unscrupulously on a grassland surrounded by wolves?
The Xihai grassland is very large, connecting the plateau and the Western Regions.
If these tribes were determined to avoid them, they would not be able to catch up with them even in three years, let alone defeat them in three months!
Du Yu stopped looking at him, and glanced at the silent cavalry with sharp eyes, "In the past, I heard that you are the most brave men under General Yang. I never thought of being as timid as a mouse! Count me as Du Yu, I know people well, and you can't. Waiting to make friends! Now that we are surrounded on all sides, it is difficult for you to escape, so you might as well draw your sword and take matters into your own hands, so as not to lose General Yang’s face after being captured."
Du Yu became more and more mean as he spoke.
Every word is like a knife piercing into the hearts of the cavalry.
Anger was instantly ignited.
Especially the Qiang and Hu soldiers, who had a violent temperament, each one let out a low growl like a cow, their breathing gradually became heavier, and their eyes gradually turned blood red.
The war horse's breathing gradually became heavier, and it snorted loudly.
"We still have the strength to fight, why should we run away? Why should we kill ourselves?" a Qiang village chief roared.
It aroused a resonance.
A Han army garrison leader shouted: "Today's matter will involve death or life!"
More than three thousand knives stabbed into the blue sky, "There is death but no life!"
"Even if you die in battle and fight to pieces, you cannot lose your reputation as a general!" Zhou Zhi understood immediately.
Du Yu handed over his hands to the soldiers around him and said, "The thieves rely on their large numbers and treat you like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. How can a good man be treated with such contempt? If we can't kill all the Qiang and Hu, we can't wash away the hatred!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers got on their horses one after another.
Anger rises in the flames into fighting intent, murderous intent, and evil spirit!
The brutal wind from the northwest has long been integrated into their bones.
Tens of thousands of horse hooves trampled on the grassland, gradually blending into a unified sound.
The force is like lightning and the sound is like thunder!
Zhou Zhi led five hundred armored knights in front. His whole body was as sharp as the ring-headed sword in his hand, and he roared and charged towards the tide of enemy knights to the north.
Du Yuyin was riding behind, like a long black whip, waving on the green grassland.
Under the snow-capped mountains, green grass grows as long as the sky.
The blue and black heavy cavalry plunged into the enemy cavalry one after another.
Although the Qiang and Hu soldiers were numerous and well-prepared, the war was still one-sided.
One party is for wealth, but if there are many people, it may not mean they are of the same mind.
On the other hand, the other side is born to die, coming with rage, like a raging fire, and will not give up until the murderous intent in his chest is burned out.
The sound of bones breaking during impact, the tearing sound of swords breaking through flesh, the high-pitched neighing of war horses, and screams composed of various languages...
Mixed together, they were blown far and wide by the never-ending wind.
Du Yu was riding on his horse, following behind the cavalry, looking at everything that happened on the battlefield with a look of unbearability.
All this is his masterpiece.
This was the rage he ignited.
The brutality of the battlefield is shocking.
Zhou Zhi is like a tireless hungry wolf, killing from north to west, from west to south, from south to east, and from east to north...
After changing horses four times, there were hundreds of exhausted horses.
Countless enemies fell under his sword.
The grassland turned blood red.
Human corpses and horse corpses were piled on top of each other, covering the originally green grass.
