When wars are written in novels and novels, there is always an army of hundreds of thousands or even a million. In fact, when I went to watch the war, a thousand troops were already overwhelming a large area.
Hou Liang listened to the sound of the ground shaking, and the dust raised almost made a cloud. He couldn't help but swallowed.
"Ming, Miss Ming..."
Mingwei calmly took a sip of water and said, "Didn't you, sir, have seen what it means to be a river of blood in Tianshen Mountain? Are you still scared?"
Hou Liang said, although the attack from Tianshen Mountain was fierce, they were not here for him! Fortunately, they found him in time, and the two of them hid in a hidden place and watched others fight.
This time, the target of the Thousand Iron Cavalry was himself. How could this feeling be the same? Before the soldiers and horses arrived, I could already feel the force rushing in, as if it would step over me and crush every bone into powder.
"Mr. Hou, fly the kite well." Duofu reminded him.
Hou Liang could only wipe his face and continue to fly the kite sadly, secretly praying that the expected rescue troops would arrive in time.
The cavalryman was getting closer and closer, and he could already see Su Tu's face, and even the lingering smell of sheep on the Hu people.
If you are captured, will you go to herd sheep yourself?
Hou Liang dispersed his thoughts for a while, and when he came back to his senses, Qianqi, a barbarian, had already stopped in front of them.
He turned his head, met Su Tu's gloomy gaze, smiled reflexively, and raised the thread in his hand: "Seventh prince, let's fly a kite together?"
Su Tu sat on the horse, looking down from a high position. For a moment, Hou Liang thought he was going to pull out his sword and chop off his head.
But he didn't after all.
Nasu shouted: "Miss Ming, will you and Duofu go back with us? As long as you are willing, I can plead with Brother Qi to save your lives."
Hou Liang pulled the kite string and thought numbly, well, it is indeed them who want it, not including himself!
If this is the case, can he escape?
After being excited for a moment, Hou Liang felt that he had thought too much. Based on the habits of Hu people, if they felt that he was not important, they would kill him directly instead of letting him go...
"Prince Nasu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are handsome again!" Mingwei did not answer his question, but greeted him with a smile.
"Really?" Nasu laughed twice and touched his face, "I think so too!"
Su Tu was too lazy to pay attention to this silly brother and urged him forward.
He walked until he was in front of Mingwei, then lowered his head and looked down at her.
"You are injured, and your maid is also injured. What else can you do now? Is it a trap?"
Mingwei shook his head honestly: "There are too many of you, and we can't dig a trap deep enough."
Su Tu nodded: "Well, you can choose for yourself, commit suicide or let me shoot you to death with an arrow?"
Ming smiled and said: "Although we can't dig out the trap, it doesn't mean there are no other ways, right?"
Su Tu narrowed his eyes.
But I heard her continue: "It's late autumn now, there are dead branches everywhere, and the weather is sunny, and the wind is blowing just right. What if I set a fire..."
Su Tu tightened his hands and his horse was pinched by the reins, so he took a step back.
Mingwei laughed out loud, then held her chest and coughed twice.
"Don't worry, this was my original plan. I observed the direction of the wind and it was blowing towards you, so I thought it was quite feasible, but then I changed my mind."
"Why?"
"Because the price is too high." Mingwei turned his head and looked to the south. He could not see the end of the vast mountains and forests. "Once the fire is set off, I don't know how long it will last. Those beasts preparing to spend the winter and the mountain people living in the mountains are still alive."
There are nomadic herders nearby, and I don’t know how many people will die.”
Su Tu said coldly: "Tian Shen Mountain, a few words of yours caused tens of thousands of us to die tragically. Now you are saying this, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Mingwei answered seriously: "It's not funny. Sometimes, I won't blink even if I take millions of lives, but other times, even one life is worth cherishing."
Su Tu was startled for a moment, and these words had another meaning in his ears.
As a king, if you use all the people in the world as a chess piece, tens of millions of lives are indeed nothing. But when you govern the world, every single one of your subjects is precious.
But he is about to be the lord of the grassland, and there may be more people in the future. It is right for him to think from this perspective. Why should this woman? She is neither a king nor even remotely related to the royal family.
Why does she have such a perspective?
If Mingwei knew what was going on in his mind, he would definitely laugh out loud.
What she means is not that the world is a chess game, but that she will not care about the Hu soldiers, because they are the swords in the hands of the Hu master. But if they are civilians, she will try her best to protect them, because the war is not their responsibility.
"Prince!" the guard captain reminded in a low voice, "Qi's army is almost here."
Even if he didn't say it, Su Tu felt it.
The ground is shaking more and more obviously, indicating that the other party is close in front of you.
Su Tu recovered his thoughts, lowered his eyes again and asked, "Is this your back-up plan?"
"This is an accident." Mingwei said, "However, this accident came just in time, which shows that I am very lucky."
Su Tu sneered, took off his bow, drew out his arrows, and pointed them at her: "But before they arrive, I can shoot you into hedgehogs!"
Mingwei sighed: "I advise you not to."
"Why?"
"because……"
Before she could finish her sentence, the barbarians began to harass her. Someone shouted: "Iron Guard! Look, that's the Iron Guard!"
When the two armies are fighting, it is impossible to recognize each other's faces. The flag is the way they recognize each other.
The Iron Guards are not only a legend in the hearts of the Daqi sergeants, but are also well-known among the Hu people.
This was the great Qi army that once broke through the royal court with 500 troops.
Duofu then shouted: "Miss, it's the young master! The young master is here to pick us up!"
Mingwei turned around and saw flags flying not far away. What was strange was that there was no flag on one of the flagpoles, but an... umbrella?
Mingwei laughed immediately.
What a weird way of greeting him, he can't think of it! He was afraid that she wouldn't know who the visitor was, so why did he hang a shark leather umbrella on the flag?
"Because you can't afford to pay the price for killing me now." She originally wanted to use the skill of a magic stick to deceive others, but because of the appearance of this umbrella, her tone suddenly became more assertive.
She is not afraid anymore, she also has someone to support her now!
Su Tu sneered, wanting to give her a taste of what it would be like to fail, but suddenly she heard the sound of drums sounding like thunder, rhythmically.
At the same time, the orders of Daqi generals could be heard from afar: "Iron clothes, listen to the order - form a formation!"
"Ho! Ho! Ho!" After three neat shouts, the Qi army in front of them suddenly dispersed, interspersed and formed, and approached them in a very beautiful formation.
As a warrior's intuition, Su Tu immediately put aside Mingwei and regarded the people in front of him as the biggest threat.
With a wave of his hand, the sword was unsheathed and the arrow was loaded into the bow. (To be continued)
