The setting sun was shining slantingly, and the sky was gloomy. Zhong Mushan and Mo Xiaohu were leaning on the carriage, feeling weak and unable to cheer up.
Along the way, Zhong Mushan was not without eyesight. He already knew what the caravan was pulling. If Qi Ruhai just sent some cloth, porcelain, pots and pans to the Rong people, Zhong Mushan wouldn't care. But on the carriage
They are equipped with sharp weapons.
Give weapons to the Rong people on the grassland, and you never know when these weapons will be chopped on the heads of the people of the empire.
What is this called?
Zhong Mushan was cursing in his heart and was already a little unhappy. They came out of the academy and learned loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, wisdom and trust, but now they are engaged in traitorous activities.
If he is banging the table with Qi Ruhai and getting angry, the other party is kind to him after all. But if he doesn't do something, this stain will remain on his body and cannot be washed away.
That's why Zhong Mushan felt unhappy. No matter which way he chose, the two paths were wrong.
At this time, a man from the Rong tribe came over and said in a rough voice: "Hey, you two come here."
Zhong Mushan and Mo Xiaohu were confused and didn't know what they were looking for. However, they stood up and followed the Rong man into the tent.
The two met the leader of the Fire Tribe, a one-eyed young man sitting behind the handsome case. He didn't look very old. Zhong Mushan didn't expect that the leader of the Rong Tribe was such a young man.
Qi Ruhai stood up with a smile and said: "Brothers, I have something good to discuss with you. This is a blessing from the sky."
Zhong Mushan looked at him strangely. When he heard what Qi Ruhai said, his face darkened on the spot. Although he didn't speak, Qi Ruhai actually understood what he wanted to say.
Even for ordinary Imperial people, it is not easy for them to do things with the Rong people. What's more, people like Zhong Mushan who grew up reading sages and sages still think about being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so how can they assist the Rong people.
Qi Ruhai sighed: "Brother, I know you look down on me, but the world is in chaos. If you think about it, if you can serve a bowl of rice well, who wouldn't want to live a good life. You are all capable people, are you just thinking about burying all your life's work?
study."
Zhong Mushan cupped his hands and said: "Brother Qi, Zhong will remember your kindness in taking us in. But if you want us to do things for the Rong clan, you must not do it."
Qi Ruhai persuaded him earnestly, but Nohara Huo coughed lightly and interrupted what he wanted to say.
The three people's eyes all fell on Nohara Huo, and they heard him say: "Think about it carefully. If you are willing to work for me, you may not be able to leave your name in troubled times in the future. If you don't want to..."
"What don't you want?" Mo Xiaohu couldn't help but ask.
Nohara Huo looked at him strangely: "Of course I will kill him, otherwise what will happen?"
Zhong Mushan and Mo Xiaohu were both shocked, sensing the hidden murderous intent inside the tent.
At this time, a Rong man strode into the tent and said: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Northern Barbarians are coming to kill us."
Ye Yuanhuo has been concentrating his efforts to expand his power and wants to attack the Northern Barbarians. It is not that Jin Wenwen of the Northern Barbarians did not get the news. He wants to destroy the Northern Barbarians, and the Northern Barbarians also want to destroy them.
This fire tribe suddenly appeared.
"If you come here, come here, why are you panicking?" Nohara Huo shouted: "Line up and fight with me."
He stood up, pulled out the scimitar on his body, and strode out of the handsome tent. The young man who seemed extremely quiet just now stood up like a fierce tiger.
Qi Ruhai was frightened, how could he be so unlucky to encounter such a thing? Killing and killing indiscriminately, what would happen if his life was lost in the battle.
He came close to Zhong Mushan and said: "You two brothers, you must save my brother and don't let him be killed by the Rong clan."
Zhong Mushan saw that he was focused on his business, and he tightened his grip on his sword and said, "Don't worry, you stay behind us, we will protect you."
The three of them walked out of the big tent, only to see smoke and dust turbulent from the north, and a group of people came towards them. Zhong Mushan also studied the art of war and battle formations in the academy, but it turned out to be shallow on paper. Such a large-scale battle was not the first time.
An encounter.
Nohara Huo mounted the horse, swung the scimitar in his hand, and gathered his men together. The battle between the Rong tribe was still very simple. It was nothing more than shooting with bows and arrows from a distance, and getting close enough to see the blood. But it can only be seen in the simplicity.
It is not simple. It is definitely not a simple matter to gather the soldiers together and organize a counterattack force in a short period of time.
At this point, Nohara Hui did a good job. The soldiers were quickly prepared. They were like tigers, horses and dragons, and their morale was high. The courage of the generals and the status of a general in the hearts of the soldiers can also be seen from the morale of the soldiers.
The two groups of men and horses charged at each other, each with the energy to devour a wolf and a tiger, and they collided violently as they approached. For a moment, the men were on their backs, shouting for kill, and the screams were loud.
Zhong Mushan and Mo Xiaohu covered Qi Ruhai behind them together. Qi Ruhai was so frightened that he trembled and hid behind the two of them, not even daring to raise his head. Zhong Mushan and the other two were not much better than him. After all, like this
It was the first time the two of them witnessed the battle.
The wars I read about in books, how many soldiers were killed in a certain battle, are nothing more than a series of numbers. But on the real battlefield, everyone's screams are so loud, and the blood flowing from everyone's body is so loud.
It's so clear.
This is what real war is like.
Zhong Mushan let out a long sigh in his heart. Only by seeing it with his own eyes can he realize how shallow his previous understanding was.
And he also truly saw the strength of the Rong clan, especially Nohara Huo. In the chaos of the battle, he was riding a red horse, making him a particularly conspicuous presence.
Like a red flame, it flowed in the killing field, with soldiers crowding behind it and breaking into the center of the enemy's battle formation.
Wherever he goes, no one can stop him, and everything is destroyed. I really want a ball of anger that will burn away all the dirt in the world.
"Xiaohu..." When Zhong Mushan spoke, he realized that his voice was trembling.
"Senior brother..." Mo Xiaohu didn't feel very good now either.
"It turns out that there really are famous generals in the world who are worth one to ten thousand." Zhong Mushan let out a long sigh.
This was a rushing battle. The army commanded by Jin Daowao wanted to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and engulf them in one fell swoop. However, he did not expect that the opponent's organizational ability was so strong and they could organize a resistance force in a short period of time.
Therefore, the enemy was unprepared for this attack and became the enemy's waiting for work.
Now, the Northern Barbarians were completely at a disadvantage, and the battle formation was scattered. Jin Daodao understood that it would be difficult for his side to win this battle today.
Then, he saw the one-eyed Nohara Huo among the chaos.
