It is said that at that time, in front of the Ming army formation, Shi Nigan was pulled by his own soldiers and turned around and ran away.
Knowing that the situation was over, Shi Nigan did not think anything else, and fled directly to the river. At that time, a large number of Tatars had not crowded over, and there was still room to stick a foot by the river. Shi Nigan saw his father's guards there.
The river bank was on guard and no one was allowed to approach. Shi Nigan knew that his father had some new tricks to escape. After all, he was a big Taiji, and there was nothing he could do to rush past others.
When he passed through the human wall of guards, he saw Arutai and a group of Tatar nobles, each holding a sheepskin bag and blowing hard with his cheeks stretched out.
When Shi Niqian saw it, he was immediately excited. He didn't expect that the old fox was still hiding this hand. He hurriedly came over and called out sweetly: "Dad."
Arutai stared at him and blew in hard. When he heard this disgusting sound, he almost lost his breath. He rolled his eyes in anger and hurriedly puffed up his cheeks like a toad to replenish the air in the sheepskin bag.
After blowing enough air into the sheepskin bag in his hand, and then tying the air vent with a rope, Arutai turned pale and panted: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and tie the raft!"
"Hey!" Shi Nigan quickly took the sheepskin bag and tied it to a wooden raft the size of a bed board.
"Tie it tight! This is a life-saving guy!" Arutai was breathing heavily while chattering beside him. If he hadn't been out of breath after blowing a skin bag, he wouldn't have used other people's hands to do it.
Assemble your own boat of life.
The sheepskin raft is the main river crossing tool for the Han people in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. The most important thing is the sheepskin bladder made of the whole sheepskin. This requires very high butchering and peeling skills. The whole skin is slowly opened from the neck of the sheep.
It was completely peeled off without scratching the fur, and then after some processing, air was blown in, and the head, tail and limbs of the leather tire were tied tightly, and it became a bulging cylinder.
A few such cylinders are tied to a raft made of several pieces of wood, and a sheepskin raft is made. This thing is small and light, has a shallow draft, and is very suitable for inland navigation, and all its parts are
It can be disassembled, is very light, and is very easy to carry. It can be said to be a must-have artifact for traveling at home and escaping across rivers.
For such a long time, I have only seen Shi Nirgan once. Unexpectedly, the old fox actually brought a pair...
Soon, the other eight sheepskin bags were blown up, and a group of Tatar nobles worked together to assemble the raft and push it into the river.
The old lady, who was usually decrepit and walked slowly and leisurely, now had a strong and vigorous figure. With a whoosh, she was the first to jump onto the raft.
Shi Nigan and all the Tatar nobles also scrambled to climb up, because at this moment, the Tatar defeated army had swarmed to the river. When they saw the sheepskin raft, they rushed over like crazy as if they had seen a savior.
Arutai's guards hurriedly tried their best to stop those people, until someone yelled: "You idiots, you can't even get on the raft if you stop us!"
Only then did the guards of Arutai suddenly realize, yes, the raft was just that big. It carried the Arutai father and son, and six Tatar nobles, so where could there be room for us? He quickly looked back and saw the people on the raft.
The Tatar nobles had already used their spears to drive the raft away from the river bank. Arutai loudly comforted them: "Don't panic, I will come back after sending the raft off..."
I don’t know how many people believe this, but no one on the raft believes it...
In a blink of an eye, the sheepskin raft reached the middle of the river. The nobleman who was driving the boat was about to paddle to the other side of the river, but Arutai grabbed the spear that was used as a pole. The nobleman was puzzled and asked Arutai in a trembling voice:
"Master, what, do you want to go back?" He thought Arutai suddenly had a kind heart.
"Go back to the other side." Arutai scolded, "I won't let you paddle to the other side."
"Ah?!" Everyone on the raft was surprised: "Why don't you cross the river? You can join the rear army after crossing the river!"
"How do you know that the Ming army did not ambush on the south bank of the river?" Arutai said flatly: "We have rafts. It is safest to be on the river. Let's go downstream to join them."
"Well, the three armies have no commander, how can they face the enemy?" Shi Nigan's head was stuffed with too many Han military books, and he immediately objected.
"If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here." Arutai glanced at Shi Nigan coldly and said, "The current situation is hopeless even if Genghis Khan is resurrected. The most important thing is to ensure your own safety."
The Tatar nobles on the side nodded secretly and thought to themselves, they have learned another lesson from the old master.
Shi Nigan was indignant. In his opinion, if Arutai hadn't desperately urged him to travel through the night, how could the army be so vulnerable? The old fox actually showed no regrets, and instead abandoned the army and fled, and even promoted him plausibly.
That escape theory is so shameless!
Although Shenigan swallowed the words that came to his lips for the sake of Arutai not abandoning him, the disapproval flashed across his face still made Arutai feel very unhappy.
Said: "You ungrateful bitch, if it weren't for me, would you have escaped?"
Before Arutai finished speaking, he heard a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and several sharp arrows were shot from the river bank. Apparently the Ming army had discovered them. The Tatar nobles on the raft immediately became confused, but there was too much space on the raft.
It’s small and crowded with people. Where is there room for them to hide?
However, that is only for ordinary people. The Tatar Grand Master Arutai is naturally far superior to ordinary people in this regard. When the sound of breaking through the sky sounded, he was obviously standing on the outermost side. When the bow and arrow came, he had already hidden among the crowd.
After the death of the Tatar nobleman, no one knows how he did it.
Arutai has a human shield, and the dozens of arrows fired at him will naturally not hurt him at all. You say that the son of a dragon and a dragon and a phoenix and a mouse can dig holes, and Shi Nigan's movements are not slow, with a handful of arrows.
He grabbed a Tatar nobleman and blocked him in front of him, but he was not shot.
The rest of the people were not so lucky. Four of the six Tatar nobles were hit by arrows, two screamed and fell into the river, and two covered the parts where they were hit by arrows and fell on the raft. Those who were not hit by the arrows all grew loose.
I took a breath. After a while, the raft drifted more than ten feet, and was beyond the shooting range of the Ming army. I thought that fortunately, the lucky stars were shining, and now I escaped and ascended to heaven...
Before everyone was happy, they heard a popping sound, and a Tatar noble asked strangely: "Who is farting?"
Arutai was the first to react. He looked around and cursed: "Fuck you, the raft is leaking air!"
Shi Nigan and others quickly followed Arutai's gaze, and were horrified to see that four or five sheepskin bags had been shot through by the wave of arrows just now, and were slowly deflating.
"Hurry up and block it?!" Arutai shouted hurriedly, while trying to plug the leak himself. Suni Gan and others also rushed to help, but the sheepskin bag had already been shot through and there was no way to save it...
Seeing the raft gradually sinking as the buoyancy became smaller, it reached the ankles in the blink of an eye. Everyone looked at Alutai in horror. Now that it had left the shallow water area, it would be death if it sank!
Arutai lived up to expectations, and he immediately had an idea and said: "We must reduce the weight..." After saying this, his eyes began to search around the raft and fell on the two injured people.
Everyone understood. Seeing the malicious looks from the others, the two wounded men immediately became horrified and begged in horror: "Grand Master, don't do it. We have been loyal for decades..."
"Now is the time for you to be loyal to me." After Arutai said, he gave a look to the three people of Shi Nigan who were standing behind the two injured people. The three people understood and immediately pushed the two injured people into the water.
The two injured men fell into the water screaming, and sank to the bottom after a few splashes...
There is one less person on the raft, and the sinking trend of the raft has indeed stopped. Arutai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There are four sheepskin bags left, which can barely carry the four of us."
Shi Nigan and others also breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the old master give another order: "Check it quickly and see how the other skins are doing. There should be no more leaks."
Shinigan and the two Tatar nobles immediately leaned down and squatted on the edge of the raft to check the remaining airbags. If one of the airbags broke, they would have to get off. How could they dare to be careless?
It doesn't matter if you don't check it, but when you check it, you will be shocked. The three of them discovered in horror that two of the remaining four airbags also began to leak...
However, the three of them remained calm, let alone made any noise, and prepared to stand up first. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two Tatar nobles raised their hips, they were kicked down one by one by Alutai behind them.
Two Tatar nobles fell into the water. One was swept away by the current, and the other was very agile. He unexpectedly grabbed the edge of the raft and cursed in the water: "Old man! You are so unconscionable that you will not die well..."
Before he finished speaking, Arutai cut off his hands with a knife. The man screamed and escaped from the raft, and was swept away by the current in the blink of an eye.
Arutai kicked the two bloody hands that were still on the raft into the water, turned around and saw Shi Nigan holding a weapon, looking at him with a wary face.
On the raft, only the father and son, who had evil intentions, were left. Under the raft, only two intact sheepskin bags were left, and they began to tilt slowly... Sunirgan was on top, Alutai was on the bottom, and the river had already submerged Tatar Tai.
Teacher's ankle.
"Have you discovered that those two skin bags are also leaking?" She Nigan shouted loudly.
"That's right, I didn't say it on purpose." Arutai said lightly: "If I had let them know earlier, the people who are still standing on the raft at this moment may not be my father and son." As he said this, Arutai's feet also disappeared
Idlely and without leaving a trace, I got a lot closer to the location of Lost Nirgan.
"Stop!" But he didn't hide it from Nigan. He pointed the knife at Alutai and said nervously: "Don't come close!"
"Don't worry, the tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds..." Arutai looked at Sunirgan with a sad face and said: "After all, I am buried up to my neck in loess. If only one person can live on this raft, do you think I will choose
alone?"
Shi Nigan was stunned by Arutai's words, and then saw him take out a gold seal from his arms, handed it to him and said: "Put this Grand Master's gold seal away. If I can't go back,
You will inherit our great legacy as a Tatar people."
