Dun Mao looked with interest at the embarrassed man lying prostrate on the sheepskin carpet in front of him. His clothes, whose original appearance could not be seen, had been torn to pieces by the escorts on the way, and his beard and hair had not been taken care of for a long time.
They were tangled together, much like the slaves and poor herdsmen on the grassland who had no food and clothing.
This is the tent that Dunmao lives in. It does not have splendid decorations or female slaves serving beside it. However, this tent is one foot and five feet high and covers an area of more than ten times that of ordinary tents. However, the materials are mediocre and are coated with oil and waterproof.
The only eye-catching thing is that the cowhide used in this tent is all white.
Without thousands of cowhide, it would be impossible to build such a large tent, and the power of the leader of the Taiqige tribe cannot be overstated.
He was still a martial artist, so he suddenly saw clues from the posture of this Yao man, and the look of his flesh, muscles, and bones that had been tempered for thousands of years suddenly seemed familiar.
The leader of the Taiqi Ge tribe couldn't help but be very dissatisfied with the recklessness of his companion. He was obviously a strong warrior, but he was brought to a place less than three feet away from him, so he was not afraid that he was an assassin.
After a while, he suddenly laughed to himself, it turned out that he was just a dog with his back broken.
"I heard from my men that you have a great gift for me." Yao was not very familiar with Mandarin, so he spoke word by word and often had to stop and think for a moment.
Yu Gaogao, who was prostrated on the sheepskin carpet, raised his head fearfully. The barbarian lord on the high seat supported his tilted head with a leopard skin gauntlet. He did not look like the ogre that Yao used to scare children. This stageman
If the most powerful lord of the Qingge tribe had given up the armor and fur on his body, his appearance would be the same as that of any old herdsman on the grassland.
It was such a man who led the allied forces of the grassland tribes to destroy the Jinzhou border and enter the country with great force.
"Yu Gao Gao, a grassland citizen, has met the Lord." Yu Gao Gao, who did not know the etiquette of grassland people, knelt down and worshiped again according to the etiquette of meeting an official. "The grassland people have something to ask for before sending gifts, and please grant it to the Lord."
This is a completely stupid thing to say. If you put a condition in front of the leader of the Taiqige tribe, even if you don't get angry, the samurai around you will draw your sword and chop him alive.
Just when Trouba was about to draw his sword and stride forward to chop this disrespectful Yao man alive, a burst of laughter came from the high seat: "Tell him, Trouba, don't be in a hurry to dirty the sheepskin blanket in my tent."
.”
The last person who dared to propose to him face to face was Tuluo Batu. At that time, he went to great lengths for a woman and finally agreed to have more daughters of nobles in his favorite general's tent.
"Please also ask the Lord to give an order to save the lives of the grassroots fathers, wives and children when the city is breached." Yu Gaogao once again lay down very low, "The grassroots dare to say such words, and the gifts they bring will not disappoint the army."
"If it's a fancy toy of gold, jade, silk, or silk, you should think about how to save your head." Dunmao narrowed his eyes and looked at the prostrate Yao Ren in front of him, "You don't look like you have anything on your body.
There are these things.”
"What do you think, my lord, as a courtesy to the land of Jinzhou?"
Dunmao·Chao and Ladd's pupils shrank.
....
The guards of the Hucha family stopped their horses when they were less than twenty miles away from Bingyuan City. Although the two people in front were only three hundred strides away, if they got closer, they could shoot with strong bows and sharp arrows, but the leader
After reining in the horse, the people around him also stopped.
"We can't catch up with those two Yao men." The leader turned his horse and said, "Go back and take that Yao man back. Maybe it will make things easier for us."
At first he thought that he would be able to catch up with the two people who were fleeing within ten or twenty miles, but since it was the white horse, even if they rode together, they definitely couldn't catch up.
"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, the barbarians have stopped chasing!" Liu Ziyi, who was sitting behind Wei Changpan on horseback, looked back and was overjoyed. The twenty or so barbarians on horseback reined in their horses and turned away.
Liu Ziyi's horse could no longer withstand such a fierce chase. He stumbled and threw Liu Ziyi off the horse. They had no choice but to ride Wei Changpan's white horse together. They had already prepared for a bloody battle after being overtaken, but they never thought that it would happen.
But he was never caught up by the barbarians behind him.
The two men and one horse ran out for several miles. Looking far into the distance, they could see the gate tower on the top of the city of Bingyuan City. They dismounted in a depression. A dozen miles away was the city of Bingyuan City. The barbarians
Although they had not yet launched a large-scale attack on the city, small groups of horsemen were coming and going without restraint. The two of them had no energy to fight with them, so it was better to take a look at the situation from a distance first.
"Brother Wei, the grace of saving my life will never be forgotten." Liu Ziyi solemnly bowed to Wei Changpan, and then touched his neck with his hand, "Liu never thought that Brother Wei would turn his horse's head back when he saw my horse stumbled.
"Help, if it hadn't been like this, Ziyi's head would probably be hanging on the edge of that barbarian's saddle right now."
"Brother Ziyi, why don't you thank me for thanking this horse." Wei Changpan stroked the back of the white horse beside him and carried the two of them for such a long distance. However, the horse seemed to still have some energy left. "Without the spirit of this horse,
Jun, we can't escape."
"You're obviously a lazy guy who doesn't want to walk. How come you suddenly have the talent to travel thousands of miles in a day?"
Liu Ziyi wanted to step forward and touch the Luma's mane, but he was almost kicked by the raised hind hoof, "Good guy, he's still fierce."
He jumped back just to avoid the hoof. He didn't worry and smiled, "You saved my life. I don't have to be the same as you."
The white horse snorted, flicked its tail, let out a loud fart, and sprayed Liu Ziyi's face. He tilted his horse's neck slightly to look at him, covering his mouth and nose and backing away, baring his teeth in a wolfish manner.
Liu Ziyi took out something from his arms and gave it to Wei Changpan, "Fortunately, I was smart enough to take a few pieces of kudzu root when I left. I couldn't make a fire, so I just took a few bites."
They had had no water or rice for most of the day, so they put the raw kudzu root into their mouths without peeling the skin with a knife and nibbled on half of it. The thorns pierced their tongues, but it tasted sweet, and they didn't care whether it was raw or cooked.
Or not, it will be swallowed whole in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Wei, do you think this horse can eat kudzu?"
Before Wei Changpan could stop him, Liu Ziyi took out another piece of kudzu root and stuffed it into the horse's mouth. Horses eat grass and oats, so how can they eat kudzu root? Unexpectedly, the horse smelled the kudzu root and chewed the kudzu root.
I swallowed it and hummed with satisfaction.
"It's gone, it's gone." Liu Ziyi spread his hands and pulled on his clothes to show that he no longer had anything to eat. Lu, who had a slight affection for him, rolled his eyes with a humane look and lowered his head on the ground, searching for some food.
He tried to fill his belly with hay, but apparently found nothing, so he hissed in frustration.
The camp where the Jinzhou State Army was originally stationed outside the northern city wall of Binyuan City has been abandoned. The troops of the Jinzhou State Army in Binyuan City have been doing nothing more than scolding the barbarian rangers who came to lure the battle. Apparently the prairie people
In terms of speaking, they were far less skillful than Yao. After a few scolding battles, all they could do was shoot arrows at the top of the city.
The sergeants on duty on the north city wall were all huddled under the battlements, chatting away from them twenty or thirty steps away. Most of the patrolling junior high schools turned a blind eye. They had seen the accuracy of the barbarians' bows and arrows in the past few days, and the barbarians were not attacking the city at the moment.
There is no need for these sergeants to stick their heads out to shoot. It is just to see if anyone is secretly taking a nap while on duty.
"The cavalry is coming! The cavalry is coming!" I don't know who shouted first. Almost all the sergeants on the northern wall of the round city were alerted. Earlier, the barbarians had used light cavalry several times to take advantage of the gate of the round city.
Although all attempts to deceive the city gate into opening and closing have failed, the city gate can no longer be opened lightly since then.
Wei Wei, the captain of the city gate of Yuancheng, led dozens of soldiers of the city gate captain to the city gate tower and looked into the distance. When he saw two people riding together in the distance, he felt a little puzzled. When did this barbarian become so shabby?
It’s just a human being, how come you can’t afford multiple horses?
"Master Colonel, this barbarian came over so arrogantly. He obviously looks down on our bows and arrows. Yesterday, a veteran who had been using crossbows for thirty years on the south wall was transferred here." The sergeant next to him whispered in Wei Wei's ear.
The idea was, "It doesn't matter how much armor you have on your body, if the crossbow hits the bed, the man and the horse will be broken into eight pieces."
This kind of crossbow, which can be driven by machinery and animal power, is an excellent weapon for attacking or defending a city. It can shoot arrows to a place five hundred paces away, and cannot be blocked by shields and armors. Looking at the entire circular city
There are only twelve beds. The northern city wall is quite large, taking up six of the beds. However, the number of crossbows is limited. Each one only has a hundred arrows, which seems like a lot. It will only take a few days to use them up in the war.
"How many arrows worth one tael are needed to shoot two barbarians?" Wei Wei gave the sergeant beside him a chestnut, "Here are some people who are good at shooting and can shoot hard bows. Wait here first and watch these two barbarians come."
What we have to do is shoot anyone who does something wrong with an arrow."
"This barbarian doesn't know if his head is stuffed with horse dung. He destroyed two small towns and yet he dares to show off his power here in Zhoucheng..."
The sergeant muttered and went to summon the soldiers with good shooting skills in the city. If Wei Wei hadn't said that it would take some time, they would have shot wildly and there would have been no way for these two barbarians to survive.
"He who comes is stopped!"
Wei Wei roared loudly from the city gate tower, and more than ten Zhang Gong sergeants also appeared in the gap between the battlements beside him, waiting for Captain Wei's order to release arrows.
Seeing the two horses, even Wei Wei couldn't help but admire. After all, only the northern grasslands could breed such splendid horses. At first glance, they looked skinny and unattractive, but when they looked at them again, their eyes were full of aura.
There are prairie horses with wide chests and long legs everywhere, but those with such aura are really rare in the world.
"General, we are the Jinzhou warriors sent by General Song to the north by Song Zhiwen!" The two people in the city shouted in unison, "We have done what General Song asked us to do!"
When they shouted these words, both of them were filled with anger and joy.
