Everyone has a different perception of risk. They can be risk lovers or risk averse. But what is very interesting is that when a person has nothing and when he has a certain amount of wealth and authority,
, attitudes toward the same risk may be completely opposite.
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot, but it actually refers to the attitude towards risk.
Barefoot men can accept higher and even more terrible risks, because they have nothing to lose except their own lives.
For Falcon, there are too many things that he doesn't want to lose, and is even afraid of losing.
These things that we don't want and are unwilling to lose are like a cage of thorns, trapping Falcon Tisibonye in the middle. No matter whether it is to the left or right, it will hurt if it touches it.
Normally, when Falcon discovered that he could not successfully defeat Zhang Liao's troops, he would have thought about how to retreat. But the problem was that Falcon was unwilling to do so.
Just like people often say that monkeys are smarter and more agile than monkeys, but monkeys are still often caught by hunters because they are reluctant to put down the chestnuts in their hands. Similarly, humans are often unable to give up greed, and then even in high-level politics
Although his methods are excellent, he still holds the gold and silver treasures in his hands and refuses to let go, and eventually ends up in jail.
Onlookers, or even the person himself, often think about why he was so stupid at the time. However, this understanding cannot prevent him from falling into the trap of greed again and again, and then paying a heavy price.
After Zhang Chen set out from Xidu, he followed the guide and traveled through the mountains day and night.
Compared with the southern Sichuan area, the woodlands of the Loess Plateau in the northwest are mostly ferns, and there are not as many poisonous insects as in the temperate tropics. In addition, with the arrival of winter, even some venomous snakes and beasts have entered a state of hibernation, so
Although the journey is difficult, it is not impossible.
The further west you go, the lower the sky seems to be.
A few days before it snowed, the cumulus clouds in the sky seemed to be pressing down on the top of the head, and you could pull off a piece by stretching out your hand. And the closer to the snow, the darker and darker it became, and then everyone would feel chest tightness, and even
There will be a dull pain.
There were already three men, who were just walking and panting. Suddenly they couldn't even speak. They were like a broken bellows, wheezing and pulling, and finally their whole bodies turned purple and died.
Zhang Chen could only silently take off their nameplates and carry them in his arms. He couldn't even bury them. It wasn't that he didn't want to let them bury them in peace, but in the plateau area, digging holes was very difficult.
It's a physical job, and you might have to dig a hole and just lie down...
After the wind gradually picked up, snowflakes began to fall sporadically. On the contrary, I felt much more comfortable, and my chest no longer felt tight. After a good night's rest, I switched to sleds on the snow, and the speed was not as fast.
Instead of decreasing, it increases, and it becomes more flexible and convenient when traveling.
Although sledding is not easy to learn, once you master it, it will become an instinct of the body, just like riding a bicycle, and you will become more and more proficient.
The path from Xidu to Riyue Mountain was only discovered by the Qiang people in the mountains. Perhaps a glacier tens of millions of years ago carved ravines on the Loess Plateau. Because it is inaccessible, when Zhang Chen and others
As I walked forward, I didn't even meet anyone else.
Originally, the biggest problem when traveling on the Loess Plateau was the water source. This was also the biggest reason why Falcon Tisi Bo Ye did not specially investigate and prepare for the detour by Zhang Chen and others. In Falcon Ti Xi Bo Ye's memory, there was no such thing as this road.
Since it was a water source, it was naturally impossible for soldiers to bypass it. However, Falcon Tisiboye ignored one thing, that is, it was snowing.
The heavy snow in the sky is the source of water.
At dawn, there was heavy snow on the canopy of the lush mountain forest, giving it a particularly eerie and dark feeling. The jackdaws on the treetops were awakened by the sound of footsteps, flapped their wings and opened their mouths to scream, and an arrow pierced through it silently.
its throat.
The jackdaw rolled and fell down. A soldier stepped forward and the dignitaries were ready to pick it up as a supplement to today's dry food, but Zhang Chen blocked it...
Because not far ahead is the camp of Falcon Tisi Bo Ye, a rear camp without much defense.
The problem now is to send a signal to Zhang Liao.
The heavy snow has stopped. The camp in front of the Falcon Tisi Bo Ye, facing the direction of Zhang Liao in the east, is naturally the strongest line of defense and the toughest Tubo people. And here on the river bank are some women, children and children who are responsible for logistics.
Busy cooking food, washing utensils, or taking care of livestock.
It's really careless, not even a beacon tower or a sentry tower...
Zhang Chen underestimated it, then squinted and continued to check.
The heavy snowfall helped Zhang Chen and others replenish their drinking water, but it also helped the Falcon Tixi Bo Ye, making the power of the fire attack much lower and even unusable.
If you can't attack with fire, what can you do?
Zhang Chen squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time. Unfortunately, he couldn't come up with any brilliant ideas in the end. He still had a sullen face when he stepped back.
Come, come all!
Zhang Chen greeted, and then slowly looked around, everyone, some of you are veterans following General Zhang, and some are members of the Zhang family. This time, we have indeed reached the enemy's rear, but as you have also seen, the snow is very heavy.
There is snow on top of the Tibetan baggage, so the original fire attack plan... is not easy to use now... It's not that it can't be used, it's just that the effect may not be as good as before...
However, there is bad news and there is good news... Zhang Chen glanced over the faces of each person and said in a deep voice, these Tubo people haven't noticed our arrival yet! This is our opportunity! General Zhang also
Waiting for us to send him a signal! Think about it, now we only have two ways. One way is to fail the plan, give up the attack, and just go back without doing anything. The other way...
It’s a battle! Come with me and charge down, defeat them, disturb their livestock! Drive their tribesmen away! Just like the barbarians drove us back then! Send a signal to General Zhang, and be here with General Zhang to completely drive this group of people away.
Defeat them! Then you can drink their wine, eat their grain, and eat their beef and mutton!
The more Zhang Chen said, the more excited he became. He originally thought that this could stimulate the fighting spirit and desire to survive of these soldiers, but he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, everything was quiet. After a while, someone said: Captain, you are
Just tell me what to do next!
Zhang Chen (;′Д｀) said a little discouraged: Take out how much dry food there is and divide it all. Have a good rest after eating! When noon, follow me and attack together!
This cunning ancestor is really hard to fool!
At noon, the sun shone on the snow and was extremely dazzling. Zhang Chen, covered with black gauze, looked at the back camp of Falcon Tisi Boye. Although there were occasionally a few soldiers wandering around patrolling, most people were not used to such dazzling eyes.
The environment is huddled in tents in the camp, with few people active outside...
Although it is said that sleds cannot be used during combat, there are also simple versions of snow boots, which are to tie wooden strips to the soles of the feet to increase the contact area and avoid making holes when walking on the snow. Although it is not enough
There is no trace of walking in the snow, but it is already of great help and provides the possibility of trotting.
Zhang Chen squinted his eyes, looked again and again, then silently raised the sword in his hand and shook it twice as a signal, and then led the people to start to feel inside the camp. The last two or three soldiers took out
The treasured fire sickle and fire oil began to light up the bonfire pile arranged in the shape of a "pin"...
The half-dry wood was ignited, and plumes of black smoke gradually rose.
I have been following the Hussars General for a long time, and I have not used many tricks for a long time. For example, when I am raiding, I start charging to kill from a long distance, or I have to stand in front of the formation to take a breath and say my name to find the opponent.
The generals have been spurned by the hussar generals repeatedly in the martial arts hall...
Therefore, everyone quietly followed Zhang Chen forward, even at a slow pace, just like a group of people going back to the camp. Until a soldier in the camp of Falcon Tisi Bo Ye noticed that something was wrong, stood up and pointed at Zhang Chen.
When Chenhe asked, Zhang Chencai shouted loudly, raised his knife and charged forward!
Kill!
Almost as soon as Zhang Chen strode forward to charge, the soldiers following Zhang Chen also shouted loudly, and then rushed towards the nearest target!
In the back camp of Falcon Tisi Bo Ye, there are only about twenty Tibetan soldiers guarding the camp. There has been no special situation for such a long time. Therefore, except when on patrol, most of them
They spent most of their time together in one place, chatting and sleeping. Suddenly, they heard murderous shouts and shouts. They were stunned on the spot and didn't even react for a while.
When Zhang Chen led his men over the not-so-high fence and rushed into the camp, the guards finally reacted and raised their spears to block the attack, but they were chopped down by Zhang Chen and his men in three blows.
On the ground.
Push it to the tent! Burn it if you can! Zhang Chen shouted. Although there is a lot of snow, it is not very convenient whether it is moving or killing, but this condition is the same for both sides, and those Tubo people in the camp
Women, children and children were screaming and running around in panic, completely unable to cause any hindrance to Zhang Chen and others. The Tibetan soldiers who hurried out of the tent to resist in twos and threes were unable to open their eyes and were out of formation because they were running in a scattered manner.
, they all fell to the ground with blood splattered on them.
Zhang Chen held up his sword and relied on his snow boots to run across the snow, shouting: Kill! Those who stand in my way will die! Drive them forward!
The warm, viscous red liquid splashed everywhere, making it particularly eye-catching on the pale snow.
The chaos gradually expanded, and three lines of black smoke rose into the sky above the mountains, seeming to connect the heaven and the earth!
