Chapter 163 Up, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, BABA
The next day, when Ma Su emerged from the tent rubbing his waist and holding the word "王" on his forehead, the eight brothers waiting outside paid him "respect and admiration".
The reason for admiration is that Ma Su's BABA-like BABA-like operations last night refreshed their understanding.
The reason for respect is the word "王" on Ma Su's forehead.
The eight brothers did not know Chinese characters and did not know what the character "王" meant, but this did not prevent them from showing respect to Ma Di. They had seen such a character on the forehead of a tiger.
Ma Di grinned and came to the eight brothers: "How far is it from the central tribe of Shenlangqiang?"
"It's not far. It takes two days to walk." The boss thought for a while and added: "It takes one day to ride a horse."
"It takes five days to walk with a heavy load like the hero did yesterday."
Which pot is not opened and lifted?
Ma Di glared at the eldest son angrily, then turned to the second eldest son: "I'm going to the central tribe. What should I pay attention to?"
"Bring water and dry food."
"Bring weapons."
"You still have to bring money."
The second child enumerated ten to one.
Ma Su nodded and looked at Lao San: "Are there any dangers on the road?"
The third child frowned and thought for a while: "There are many Wei soldiers on the road, is it dangerous?"
Of course it counts!
Ma Su was shocked: "How many Wei soldiers are there? Who is leading the troops?"
The fourth child took over the conversation: "There are more than two thousand Wei soldiers distributed on the road from east to west. They have many checkpoints and mobile sentries on the road. They seem to be checking someone. The leader of the troops is the new Qiang Protector Colonel.
Guo Huai."
Guo Huai?
Why is Guo Huai here?
He actually predicted my next move.
The difficulty is greater than expected.
Ma Su pinched his chin and began to think.
Since there are hurdles ahead, the plan needs to be changed.
Otherwise, if you rush in like this, you will either be captured alive or hacked to death with knives.
Ma Di looked at Lao Qi: "Is your ** okay?"
Lao Qiyi puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Very good." Ma Su looked at the eldest to the seventh one one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Old Eighth Guardsman, the seven of you will follow me to the central tribe. After the completion of the matter, I will allow you to join the Shaodang Qiang, and all the benefits will be with the Shaodang.
The Qiang people are the same as humans.”
Adding rich and effervescent Shaodang Qiang?
The eight brothers looked at each other and immediately became energetic. The eldest brother rubbed his hands and asked with a stern look on his face: "Hero, is this really okay?"
"Can!"
"Okay, then our brothers will take over this job!"
The boss reached for the entrance and immediately whistled loudly.
In a short while, eight strong horses of different colors came from the wilderness.
The leader is a snow-white, high-headed, round-hoofed horse. Its running posture is particularly handsome, and its big eyes reveal the unruly and unruly nature of a king.
At first glance, he is not a regular horse.
Boss Yao pointed to the tall white horse and introduced: "This horse is called Xueli Feidian. It has a very strong temper and is very accommodating. Non-heroes cannot tame it."
"Hero, do you want to try?"
Just try it.
Is there anything I can't ride?
Ma Su turned over and rode up.
The white horse was hit hard, suddenly startled, and immediately jumped up violently. Sometimes it stood upright, sometimes its hind hooves slammed down, sometimes its limbs fell to the ground, and sometimes it suddenly stopped while galloping. In a moment, the horse was thrown away and fell in all directions.
on the ground.
The big white horse shook its hair proudly, snorted, stopped where it was, and looked over with arrogant eyes.
Damn, I never thought there was something I couldn’t ride.
Ma Su stood up holding his buttocks.
Decided to change horses.
A good man does not suffer humiliation before his eyes.
A man, who is not riding a horse? Regardless of the white horse or the black horse, the feeling of riding on it with your eyes closed is just a glance.
Axiu walked out of the tent after washing herself. When she looked up, she fell in love with the white horse. Before she could reach him, she lifted up her skirt and flew up, landing lightly on the white horse's back.
Seeing this, the eight brothers all stretched out their hands and exclaimed: "Madam, be careful!"
However, the expected white horse rampage did not appear.
The white horse stood docilely, letting Axiu stroke the hair on its neck, with a tame look in its eyes.
Ma Su gave it a try, and found that the remaining seven horses were very wild and not easy to mess with. As soon as he sat on one, they would jump around like crazy, kicking and biting.
Then he sighed, got on the little donkey brought by Lao Ba, and followed the eight horses to move forward.
At this time, the sun was rising, and the plateau was covered with red clouds.
Eight horses and one donkey form a long snake formation, walking on the shadows.
Before they had gone ten miles, the nine people were stopped by a dozen Wei soldiers on horseback.
"What to do, hero?"
The boss asked Ma Su in a low voice.
"beat!"
Ma Su squeezed out one word from between his teeth.
The seven brothers showed their weapons and, under the leadership of A Xiu, charged fiercely.
After a while, a dozen Wei soldiers were all lying on the ground, making no sound.
Ma Su jumped off the donkey and changed into a docile big horse. He chose a remote path to avoid the checkpoints on the main road and continued westward.
Even so, they were intercepted by more than a dozen waves of sentry cavalry along the way, including Qiang Wei cavalry, Di people Wei cavalry, and some Han Wei cavalry.
There are as few as a dozen people in each wave and as many as twenty or thirty people.
Fortunately, they are all ordinary soldiers with average skills, and Ma Di's team is full of warriors. Needless to say, the seven brothers are all strong men who can fight one against five, not to mention a master like A Xiu, who can kill them with just one charge.
The Wei soldiers were completely annihilated.
In the afternoon, everyone walked to a small tribe.
As soon as they entered the tribe, they saw more than a hundred Wei soldiers drinking and having fun, each holding a Qiang woman in his arms. About a hundred tribal men were driven and gathered in an open space, sitting on the ground in humiliation, watching
His wife and daughter were humiliated and helpless.
You don't need to think about it to know that the actions of these Wei soldiers were tacitly approved by the Qiang king.
In other words, there was nothing Fa Tong could do about it and he could only turn a blind eye.
Which Qiang king dares to be rude to the Wei cavalry?
Before Ma Di could say anything, the seven brothers rushed over desperately, waving their weapons and killing the Wei soldiers.
Axiu hesitated for a moment, and reined in the horses together with Ma Su, not moving.
Because I can no longer get my hands on it.
Under the leadership of the seven brothers, the anger in the hearts of hundreds of Qiang people was ignited, and their courage was inspired. They picked up their weapons one after another and chased and chopped down the Wei soldiers fiercely.
More than a hundred Wei soldiers were seriously injured in an instant. They died and some fled. A small number of them saw that the situation was not good and dispersed like birds and beasts.
The seven brothers led their crazy men and chased him out.
Depending on the situation, the small group of Wei soldiers who escaped have little chance of surviving.
Axiu comforted the women in the tribe, and then chased westward with Ma Su, and soon caught up with the seven brothers and more than a hundred Qiang people who were returning happily.
Sure enough, all the Wei soldiers who had done evil in the tribe were killed, and no one was left alive.
Ma Di looked around at the people and proposed to take them out together, break through the blockade of Wei soldiers, and go to the central tribe to meet Fa Tong.
Hearing this, more than a hundred Qiang people lowered their heads and remained silent.
It is their duty to protect their tribe.
But they hesitated to help Ma Su and Wei Guo as enemies.
A slightly older man whispered: "Benefactor, it's not that we won't help you, we all have families, wives and children. If we die in the battle, they will be helpless..."
Everyone has their own ambitions, and efforts are not always rewarded. Ma Su nodded and waved his hand magnanimously, asking them to leave on their own.
The Qiang people hesitated for a moment, and then left together, led by the old man who looked ashamed.
Ma Su and others continued to move forward.
But after walking a few miles, they were intercepted again by the Wei and Qiang coalition forces. This time they were larger in number. The Wei soldiers were in front, numbering about one or two hundred people, while the Qiang soldiers were behind, numbering about three or four hundred people.
"General, what should we do?"
Axiu looked worried and asked Ma Di in a low voice.
Ma Su was silent for a moment: "Don't act rashly, Ada, go and negotiate."
The boss nodded, rode forward, came to a large-headed Wei soldier who seemed to be the leader, and bowed his hands: "Master, we are all good Qiang people, can you be accommodating?"
The big-headed commander looked at the boss up and down, then glanced at everyone, his eyes locked on Axiu, and his face suddenly sank: "Good citizen? I don't look like it. You, that's right, you, come closer."
His finger pointed at A Xiu.
Axiu had no choice but to ride forward.
The leader unfolded a painting, held it up in front of Axiu, and compared it with Axiu's appearance.
Ma Su looked over and almost laughed out loud.
I saw an extremely ugly man on the painting, and the word "Ma Su" was marked next to the painting.
Obviously, this is the reason why Wei Bing set up a blockade in the Qiang area, to prevent him from contacting the rebels and instigating rebellion against the Langqiang.
Guo Huai and Xu Miao must have thoroughly studied his previous methods of conquering the Eastern Qiang, first eliminating the Qiang and then burning the Qiang.
Otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to make such a targeted arrangement.
Axiu also covered her mouth and smiled.
The big-headed Wei Bing put down the portrait angrily, looked at Axiu carefully again, and said to her with a dark face: "Follow me to the tent nearby and check it carefully again. Master Guo Huai said that Ma Su is cunning and insidious.
You are good at disguising. Therefore, I will have to check whether you are disguised as a woman."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
All the Wei soldiers laughed wildly, while all the Qiang soldiers were silent.
The nine people on Ma Su's side immediately stared angrily.
I thought it was just a formality, and everyone kept their tails clean along the way, without revealing their identities. In addition, except Ma Su, Axiu and the other seven brothers were all Qiang people, so I thought they would be able to get through easily.
But he didn't expect that the big-headed Wei Bing, seeing Axiu's beauty, had a dirty idea and wanted to pull Axiu into the tent to inspect it carefully!
Before Axiu could say anything, Ma Su raised his sword and charged out from the diagonal stab. He leaped high and struck a powerful and heavy "Force to Split Huashan", splitting the big-headed commander in two from head to toe.
Blood flew everywhere, and the scene was extremely bloody.
"Kill them!" Ma Di said through gritted teeth.
The seven brothers threw away their arms and rushed over.
Axiu covered her face, narrowed her bright eyes into crescent moons, and giggled while sitting on the white horse.
Hundreds of Qiang soldiers did not take action and chose to stand by and watch.
They don't know Chinese characters and don't know what the word "王" on Ma Su's forehead means, but obviously, men with the word "王" on their foreheads are usually not simple.
Either they saw it with their own eyes or heard from hearsay, they all knew that tigers also had such a "character" symbol on their foreheads.
Moreover, the order they received was only to cooperate with the Wei army and set up the Kana people, not to fight side by side.
Therefore, they would not attack Ma Su unless Qiang King Fatong personally ordered it.
But even so, Ma Di was still surrounded by more than a hundred Wei soldiers and chopped violently.
Fortunately, Ma Su had plate armor to protect his body, so he was not injured. However, he was repeatedly poked and slashed by weapons, causing him to scream in pain.
A Xiu came to his senses, quickly dismounted and joined the battle group.
On the other side, seven brothers were back to back, surrounded by seventy or eighty Wei soldiers, and they were fighting.
The seven brothers relied on their strength, understanding, and skillful cooperation to not fall behind.
The scene was a mess.
The battle was extremely fierce.
The situation was tense when a group of Qiang people suddenly appeared in the east with farm tools and weapons.
They roared and rushed towards the center of the battlefield.
The leader was the old man who had just left. He opened his throat and shouted loudly: "Benefactor, we are here to help you!"
