The snow slowly began to turn pink. In the endless pink sky and earth for tens of thousands of miles, four people and sixteen horses moved with difficulty against the north wind. The bloody horse hoof prints left a deep mark on the snow.
The ditch is like someone pulling out a knife and cutting a wound on the earth's body, deep and painful to the bone marrow.
"Aslan, Aslan, when my wife is pregnant," Duer opened his eyes drowsily, and uttered a few words with difficulty with his pale lips, "please help me pick up some star iron and give it to me."
, give it to my wife!”
"You go pick it up yourself!" Aslan turned sideways, collected a ball of frost from the horse palm, and wiped it hard on Duer's mouth. "You go pick it up yourself. If you want a son, you should work harder!"
"I, I really want to! But the Immortal Heaven has already called me!" Duer shook his head with a wry smile, as if he had anticipated that he would not have the chance to approach the felt bag alive. Before setting off in the morning, he had vowed to his wife that he would
Give her the most beautiful yellow sheepskin. But from now on, I can only appear in her dreams.
"Nonsense, the Holy Wolf and the elders will definitely cure you." Aslan yelled to refute Duer's frustrating words, "The Holy Wolf has begun to show his power. Just now, he was the one who gave the power to Fu Li, allowing Fu Li to
Li killed the enemy with one bite!"
"Really?" Duer's eyes, which had gradually dimmed, slowly brightened again. He was so busy protecting himself after being injured that he didn't see the terrifying scene when Li Xu climbed up from the enemy's corpse.
"Yes, it must be!" Xu Dayan turned around and shouted loudly. "If you don't believe me, ask Fu Li, how could he bite the enemy's blood vessels with his teeth if the holy wolf hadn't appeared!"
"We must not let Duer give up hope of living. Two of his companions have already died. We cannot let him die again." Li Xu wailed in his heart. If Duer can survive, he must admit that he is Gan Luo at this moment.
, and he accepted this statement unceremoniously.
"Sir Silver Wolf, tell me that the four of us can sit in your felt bag and drink wine again! Father Gabler thought you were a prodigal, so he threw big chunks of mutton into the pot while scolding you in a low voice!" Li Xumin
He stepped forward, smiling with tears streaming down his face.
"Really? My father is just that kind of person." Duer laughed softly, and his pale face was instantly illuminated pink by the clouds on the horizon.
"Lord Silver Wolf, let us all live! Live!" Li Xu shouted, riding his horse at a gallop. Closer, closer, he had already heard the unique rhythm of Su Chuobu's horn, and a large group of people appeared on the snowy fields in the north.
Accompanied by the sound of the trumpet, they quickly approached them.
Tao Kuo took off her silk and hugged Gan Luo, galloping at the front of the team. Her eyes were red and swollen, and the leather robe on her body was dirty and torn. The smile that suddenly bloomed on her face was the biggest smile Li Xu had ever seen since he met her.
A warm one.
"Attached!" Between the pink heaven and earth, Tao Kuo took off his silk and hugged the silver Ganluo, and flew towards him.
The Xi tribe scouts, who were following the tracks left by Li Xu and others on the snow, suddenly discovered that the tracks under their feet were in chaos. After careful analysis, they determined that at least 500 war horses had appeared on the snow field. They did not dare to neglect and immediately
He turned around and retreated, reporting the news that the other party had already prepared to his own army.
After hearing the report, the leader of the Xi tribe, Aijinlifu, knew that the news of the sneak attack had been leaked. He quickly adjusted his strategy. While continuing to slowly approach the Su Chuan tribe's station, he built up his power and was ready to fight with the Zhuxin coalition forces who came to attack.
Fight to the death.
There are no city walls in any nomadic tribe’s tribal camp, so no tribe will defend the camp. Currently, the Xi tribe’s army numbers as many as five thousand, while the Zhuxi Allied Army has just begun training and has less than three thousand soldiers and horses. Such a huge disparity in numbers.
Even if the sneak attack fails, there is no reason for the Suotou Xi people to be defeated. Therefore, Zhilifu is ready to completely destroy the resistance of the Zhulin tribe through a frontal decisive battle and capture the grassland near Crescent Lake in one fell swoop. Although the climate in this area is cold
, the abundance of water and grass is no less than that of the Suotou River. I believe that after a few years of renovation, the tribe will slowly recover from the losses caused by the Turks' expulsion.
As for the words reported by the first six scouts who escaped about the opponent's superb swordsmanship and skill in shooting, Lifu believed that they were all excuses for cowards. Anyone who loses a battle will find a pleasant excuse for himself.
The excuse seemed to make the enemy more brave, the less their own responsibility. So Qi Lifu only listened to half of it, and waved his hand and ordered people to drag the deserters away. At the moment, the tribe is short of food, can this kind of waste be raised?
It's better to just throw it in the snow and freeze to death.
The response of Zhulin's coalition forces was beyond Qi Lifu's expectations. They knew that the Xi people were coming from afar, but they did not go out to attack. Instead, they withdrew all the young men stationed outside the camp into the camp and placed some strongholds on the walls of the camp.
Nearly a hundred pyres were lit about a hundred and fifty steps away, as if they were welcoming the sneak attackers with a bonfire.
With the acquiescence of Qi Lifu, more than ten cavalrymen rushed to the fire to provoke, and were immediately shot through the body by the strong crossbows flying out of the camp. The thick and long crossbows were still powerful, and hit the back of the cavalrymen.
, carrying his body and flying for more than ten steps before landing. The injured cavalry struggled on the crossbow pole, shouting, but did not have the strength to pull himself off. His companion couldn't bear it, and used bows and arrows to make up for it from a distance.
The arrow finally ended his suffering.
After Lifu saw the power of the opponent's crossbows, he realized that he could not afford the losses of storming the camp, so he had to take the team five miles away to camp for repairs on the grounds of "attacking at night, the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear". It was cold.
It was freezing. Where could they drive stakes in the snowy wilderness? After struggling for more than an hour, the soldiers got into the tent that they had barely managed to deal with. Before their bodies, which were numb from the cold night wind, could warm up a little, something appeared in the distance.
Suddenly the trumpet sounded loudly, and a long fire dragon rushed straight towards the camp tent.
The soldiers of the Xi tribe were shocked and quickly raised their weapons to fight. The enemy troops carrying torches rushed to a position more than 200 steps away from the camp, and suddenly stopped again. They shouted and fired arrows for a while, then turned around and withdrew. Qi Li
Fu was angry and laughing at the same time. He was so angry that Zhu Xi's coalition forces were so powerful that they actually wanted to attack his own camp. He was also laughing because since the opponent's combat effectiveness was low, tomorrow's battle would be easy to win.
Thinking of this, he felt very happy. He ordered his soldiers to seize the time to rest. When the sun rises tomorrow, they will immediately wipe out all the tribes. The soldiers cheered and entered the tent. The leather mats under their bodies were not yet warm. The sound of horse hooves outside was loud.
Do, in the night, I don’t know how many cavalry came to rob the camp.
The soldiers of the Xi tribe crawled out of their tents and bowed their bows to treat each other. The incoming cavalry made a half-circle in the distance, shot cold arrows for a while, and fled again. When Lifu became furious, he ordered his soldiers not to sleep and to prepare their horses.
, bows and arrows, to catch them off guard when the enemy came to harass them again. The soldiers suffered in the cold wind for half an hour, but the allied forces of Zhu Xi refused to come again.
After struggling like this for half the night, until the pink morning glow appeared on the horizon, the soldiers of the Xi tribe fell into a deep sleep. When they were thinking about the endless river in their hometown and the lush pastures beside the river in their sleep, another sound came from outside the camp.
There was the low sound of horse hooves.
"The harassment is coming again, and it will never end!" Qi Lifu thought in a daze. The war between tribes depends on each other's strength. It is a strange thing for soldiers to travel long distances like him. And repeated harassment in the middle of the night, no matter what
The act of letting the other person sleep is purely a loss beyond mere surprise.
'Now that my muscles and bones are weak, it is really hard to get up. Besides, the Zhulin coalition forces are just harassing me and will not seriously fight with me.' Thinking, thinking, Qi Lifu's mind became a little confused, and suddenly, a sudden
A cold wind blew into his neck.
"Who!" Qi Lifu yelled angrily. Although Xiren behaved casually, breaking into Aijin's (leader)'s tent without repaying him was still punishable by a hundred lashes.
"It's a big reward, the people have invaded the camp!" A little arrow (ten men long) with a face full of blood cried out while holding a scimitar. His body was swaying and he might fall down at any time.
"Nonsense!" Qi Lifu retorted loudly, and his mind instantly cleared. The sound of horse hooves coming from his ears was low and gentle. Even if the enemy attacked, the distance should be five hundred steps away. It is impossible for a horse's hooves to hit the ground within a hundred steps.
It's this sound.
A long feather replaced the small arrow, penetrated the cowhide tent, and inserted it diagonally in front of Qi Lifu.
"Enemy attack!" Qi Lifu jumped up and rushed out of the tent holding a machete.
The makeshift camp set up last night was full of shouts of killing. The warriors of the Xi tribe, whose armor was edged with brown-red yellow sheepskin, looked heroic in the morning light. They carried scimitars and drove their horses with felt hoofs to herd the sheep.
They also drove three times as many Xi soldiers as they did and sent them running in all directions.
"Steady, steady! Reflex and fight!" Qi Lifu chopped down several of his own soldiers who were running around in an attempt to stabilize the situation. But this idea was obviously too wishful thinking. The soldiers who had just woken up from their slumber
His body was so weak that he couldn't even lift his scimitar, and he barely managed to catch the opponent's horse. He only managed to get close to him and die, without any effect on delaying the opponent.
Qi Lifu saw a young hero wearing an iron crown and holding a wooden spear not far ahead. The young man was accompanied by a man wielding a machete. His body was full of flaws, but he was recruiting desperate child soldiers.
Although the two men were young, their attack power was astonishing. When the horse pointed at them, the soldiers of their tribe immediately collapsed like snow splashed with boiling water.
The Zhulian barbarians who were guarding the young men immediately followed up, constantly increasing the chaos caused by the spear-wielding young men. Some Xi tribe archers tried to attack the two young men from the flanks, but their arrows were blocked by the Zhulian guards with their leather shields.
Standing in the way, those warriors were so brave that they would rather risk their own injuries than let the two young men have their hair wiped away by arrows.
There were only more than 1,500 Zhulin coalition forces who came to rush into the camp, but the casualties caused were horrific. Many Xi soldiers were hacked to death in the tents while they were still sleeping. More Xi soldiers were running
He was cut down by a machete, and blood spurted out from the cut wound like a fountain, splattering on the white snow with hot steam. (To be continued)
