The vast land was covered with a thick layer of snow. The north wind howled by, blowing a piece of dead grass that was still exposed outside the snow into the snow. The weather was very good, and the sun was very dazzling, reflecting on the snow.
After that, it makes people unable to open their eyes. Shepherds all know that when walking in such weather, you need to blacken your eyes with carbon ash, otherwise your eyes will become red and tearful in a short time, and you may even become blind.
Two eagles drew circles in the sky, patrolling back and forth on the ground. As soon as a rabbit emerged from under the snowdrift, it was discovered by the eagle. Its wings trembled and it poked straight down from the sky. Its claws were like iron hooks.
With just one use, the rabbit's cervical vertebra was broken, and with a sudden wave of its huge wings, it soared into the air again. They were not willing to let themselves stand in the snow that buried their heads.
A black spot suddenly appeared on the horizon, and soon drew an irregular line on the snow. The war horse's hooves made a crunching sound in the snow, trampling a smooth mirror-like snow.
A small pit. The knight on horseback used various strange things to wrap himself as tightly as possible to prevent the north wind from getting into his clothes.
There were no horses in the village, so he left the only old horse in the family to his mother and younger siblings. They would not be able to go pasture in the coming year without horses. Without horses, it meant that they could not walk to farther and better pastures. In that case, the family
The flock of sheep will be hungry for another winter. The clothes of Tuantou still belong to his father. His father is the most powerful hero in the tribe. Every time he goes out, he can bring back a lot of trophies. Tuntou still remembers the Han slave in the family, it seems
Called Xiaohua.
Their miserable days probably started three years ago. At that time, Tuantou remembered clearly that when his father came back from the war for the first time, he did not bring a large amount of trophies and was seriously injured. If it weren't for my grandmother's constant prayers,
Priest, maybe my father died that year. He lay on the couch for three full months before his father's injuries healed.
However, their family's situation did not get better because of their father's improvement. On the contrary, life became more tense. When his father was recruited again, there was no news from him. The leader handed a bag of grain to his mother.
The tears could no longer be stopped. That was my father. My father exchanged his life for a bag of grain.
Tuen Tou has some experience walking on snowy roads. He can step on the place where the war horses have walked, saving him the trouble of walking through the snow. Walking has another advantage, that is, it keeps people warm. The torn sheepskin coat on Tuen Tou cannot keep out the cold. If he hadn't walked
He probably froze to death on this journey. The leader took his two sons with him. The second son, Cha Keqi, was about the same age as Tuen Tou, but Cha Keqi, who was used to being pampered, hated walking on snowy roads.
Chuck Flag is not made to be a warrior. He has grown too fat. He fell down countless times along the way. The warm sheepskin jacket all over his body was covered with snow. He kept walking as he walked.
Putting something in his mouth: "Tuantou, do you want to eat?"
The Tuen head shook his head, and Chakqi felt helpless and continued to shout: "If you help me carry these armors and weapons, I will give you all the food!"
The leader raised his hand and placed a handful on Cha Ke Qi's head, snatched the food from his hand, and glared at Cha Ke Qi fiercely. When the leader walked away, Cha Ke Qi grabbed his brother again.
The rations and the armor and weapons on his back were stuffed into the Tuen Tou's arms. The Tuen Tou could feel that Cha Keqi's armor was very heavy. Only this kind of armor could save a life at a critical moment.
There is no armor in the village. The only helmet my father wore when he was flying eagles was made of wild boar skin. It was made by my grandma. The stitching and style are good. My father has worn it for so many years and it still hasn’t worn out. This shows that
This leather helmet is so sturdy.
Seeing Tuantou caressing the armor, Chuck laughed and said: "I don't like this. It's too heavy. It turns into a bear when you put it on. My father said, Quark said that you need to be flexible on the battlefield and not be restrained by heavy armor.
Otherwise, even if I escape, I will be slower than others, and I don’t know why my father insisted on letting me wear such heavy armor.”
Quark's name is well-known. He is a famous hero nearby. I heard that he was praised by Shanyu back then. However, no one has seen Quark again in more than a year. I don't know if he is the same as Tuntou's father, or whether he is the same as Tuntou's father.
Went somewhere else.
The Tuen leader consciously carried Chuck Qi's armor on his back and put the small bag of grain into his arms. Chuck Qi patted the Tuen leader on the shoulder: "That's right, follow me from now on, I will have something to eat."
You are absolutely indispensable. After we kill the Han people, as long as we can come back safely, you will be my best friend, Cha Keqi. I guarantee that you can enter my tent at any time."
The Tuen head didn't answer, just immersed himself in walking. Cha Keqi walked slowly, even slower because he was eating. He took two steps to catch up with the Tuen head, looked around and lowered his voice: "Hey! You know we are going to
Going somewhere?"
Tuntou shook his head, and Cha Keqi smiled from the depths of his eyes. He reached out to the host, Tuntou's shoulder, and almost put his entire body weight on Tuntou. Tuntou staggered. Chuck Qi's voice this time
Smaller: "I heard that we are going to Mayi. The Han people rebuilt Mayi and built Mayi into a market. As long as we capture Mayi, we will bring back a lot of things this time, and maybe we can get one or two.
When the Han woman comes back, I will give you one."
The Tuen head frowned. He remembered that he went to Mayi when his father was seriously injured, and the people that time were much braver than the ones they came this time. The most important thing is that the entire tribe walked 130 meters last time.
Seventeen, this time there were only twelve. It is estimated that the other tribes were similar, so it was not a good idea to go to Mayi this time.
"are you sure?"
Cha Keqi nodded: "That day, the envoy sent by the king revealed his lips when he was drinking at my house. I happened to hear him. My father told me not to talk nonsense everywhere. Since you are my friend, I told you that you
But don’t tell anyone!”
"The king wants to send troops to Mayi, or does the Chanyu send troops to Mayi? How many Han people are there in Mayi? Are we going to take the lead?" The head of the village asked many questions in one breath.
Cha Keqi covered Tuen Tou's mouth and looked around: "Keep your voice down! I don't know the questions you asked, but Rahim, that slippery businessman, said he came back from Mayi
, the Han people have been prepared, I heard that the Han people in Mayi have been evacuated, and Yanmen Pass has been sealed, and nothing will be sold to us Huns, including salt."
"Oh, by the way! Rahim also said that a very powerful Han general was stationed at Yanmen. The last time your father went there, the same Han general was stationed at Yanmen. I heard that this Han general was only two years old.
He's more than ten years old, only a little older than you and me. Why can't you say that the old Chanyu can't defeat this young Han after fighting for so many years?"
When Rahim heard about his father, his mood suddenly became very bad. He didn't want to fight, he didn't want to see his younger siblings and his mother starve to death, and he didn't want to fight for any Shanyu, he just wanted to live his own life.
It's a pity that all things are beyond his control. The king gave an order that all men over the age of sixteen in the entire grassland must take up weapons and go to war. Otherwise, there is only one way, and that is death!
Cha Keqi was also in a bad mood and sighed: "Hey! The Han people have a saying that different people have different fates, but this time it will be better. I heard that Shanyu sent his capable general Asch's army,
We, including our king, have to listen to the Ashan tribe. The Ashish tribe is extremely brave and famous throughout the grassland. Maybe they can capture Mayi this time. Even better, if they capture Yanmen Pass, our Huns will have a good life.
here we go again."
The Tuen head glanced at Cha Ke Qi. Cha Ke Qi chuckled and said, "What I said is just a possibility. No one knows until the fight starts."
The two of them walked and talked, and it was no longer so boring. It wasn't until dark that the leader of the team ordered a break. There was no tent, and no dry wood for a fire. Everyone ate a few mouthfuls of dry food in the snow and hugged each other.
The rags and tatters on the tight clothes were huddled in a pile, and they lay down in the snow and fell asleep. After a long journey, I was so sleepy that even though my teeth were chattering due to the cold, I could still fall asleep.
The bright moon in the sky illuminated the ground as bright as day, and no stars could be seen. Tuntou and Chakeqi huddled among the crowds, and they were much warmer. After passing Tatohe yesterday, Tuntou no longer knew where they were.
He couldn't even tell the difference between north, south, east and west. He had never been to this place before, not to mention it was snowing so heavily and the surroundings were completely white. It was normal to not be able to tell the direction. If it was true as Chuck Qi said, now they
You should go south.
There were no sentry soldiers left. In such a situation, in such snow, in the hinterland of the Huns, there would be no enemies to sneak attack. Even if there were, there would only be wolves, but there are so many of them, and they carry weapons, they are considered wolves.
He was not afraid even when he came. Chuck Qi was snoring like thunder, and Tuntou couldn't sleep. He missed his father very much, and even more missed his grandmother and younger brothers and sisters who stayed at home. Tuntou was not sure whether he would be able to come back from this trip.
If you die too, what will happen to the whole family?
When it was almost dawn, Tuen Tou finally fell asleep. Just as he fell asleep, he was whipped. It was Dang Hu who woke him up. There were several people in Tuen Tou who remained motionless no matter how heavy Dang Hu's hand was.
. He knew that those few people were dead, and they were already dead before they saw the enemy. More than a dozen people crowded over and looked at Danghu with pleading eyes, hoping that Danghu would let him deal with these dead bodies, not for anything else, but for the dead bodies.
Those clothes on my body.
Those who were selected were elated, while those who were not selected were sad. The leader was lucky enough to be the lucky one. When he came back, he had a thick hat in his hand, and he threw it to the Tuen head: "Don't say I didn't take care of you.
We all come from the same tribe, so we have to look after each other and try to make sure that everyone can go back safely, do you understand?" The village leader took the hat and several people who came out with his tribe nodded repeatedly. (To be continued)
