In fact, for things like this, Xiao Han didn't need to give special orders at all. The scouts scattered outside had already discovered the enemy first and quickly passed the news over: Behind their team, they followed quietly, and they were still eighty-nine. A man dressed as a Turk.
"There are only eight or nine people? It seems that they are here to find out the truth first! Lord Marquis, wait a moment while I kill a few of them!"
After listening to the scout's report, Liu Er threw the half-eaten leg of lamb into the fire with a grin, got up and prepared to call Xiong Kaishan to hunt the Turks who followed! There is no need for a large army to surround and kill just a few minions.
"Let Jia San do this kind of thing. The injury you suffered this morning has not healed yet." Xiao Han frowned and stopped Liu Er. This guy fell off his horse this morning and was hit by several arrows one after another. The bandage is still on him. There are blood marks on it. If someone shoots a few more arrows, it will really become a porcupine that sheds its hair.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou!" Liu Er didn't care about Xiao Han's worries! He waved his hands proudly and said: "Our armor is strong and there are several layers of silk cloth inside. The arrows of these little wolves can only damage the flesh at most, so it won't be a problem!"
After saying this, Liu Er picked up his bow and arrow, climbed onto his horse with Niu Kaishan, who had been prepared long ago, and rushed north together.
"I'll go take a look too!" Ren Qing thought for a moment and decided to follow.
Xiao Han did not stop him this time because he knew that with the skills of these people, it would not be a problem to deal with several Turkic scouts.
"Buzzing..."
"ah……"
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the sound of bowstrings to vibrate in the silent night, as well as the Turks' screams and sounds of fleeing.
It's a pity that these Turks hid the horses they brought far away in order to get close to this place quietly! At this time, facing several people on horseback, it would be more difficult for them to escape than to reach the sky!
A crossbow arrow flew past like lightning, and its huge momentum allowed it to pierce the body of a Turkic man and then shoot straight into the calf of the man in front.
The Turkic scout, who was running wildly, felt a heartbreaking pain in his calf. He couldn't help but scream, staggered forward and fell to the ground!
Then, before he could get up again to check his injuries, a war horse rushed in front of him!
On the back of a tall horse, a black-faced man was holding a horse-drawn horse, like a murderous god! The sharp blade of the horse blade was pressed against his neck, as if it could cut off his head with just one move!
This siege that took place in the dark started quickly and ended just as quickly.
Of the nine Turkic scouts, only two survived, and the rest were all killed by the arrows of Xiong Kaishan and Liu Er!
Inside, there were two smart people lying motionless in the hay, trying to avoid being killed.
But they didn't expect that the two survivors had already told them their total number of people, so after several searches, the two "smart people" became the two who died the most.
Several people dragged the prisoners back and ran back. Liu Er said something to the idiot, and then saw this guy riding out happily. After a while, he brought back nine fine horses. It was these few Riding by a Turkic scout.
Although the capture they came out this time was good, in today's world, high-quality war horses are in hot demand wherever they go, so they must not be wasted!
Returning to the camp, Liu Er began to further interrogate the two captured scouts.
The interrogation process went smoothly, because when they were tied to the horse and dragged all the way back, they knew that these people did not take their lives seriously!
Then, I saw Xiong Kaishan holding a dagger, cutting off the ear of one of them, roasting it casually on the fire, and then throwing it into his mouth and swallowing it mixed with blood!
The two living scouts collapsed immediately! They vomited out everything they knew, almost admitting that they wet the bed when they were eight years old.
"Hey, it seems that the road in the next two days is really not going to be smooth."
After the interrogation, Xiao Han couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Xiong Kaishan carrying the two Turkic scouts toward the darkness like he was killing a chicken.
The Turks' reaction was faster than he expected. In just two days, several surrounding tribes got the news and targeted them!
I just don’t know when they will launch an attack on people like me.
"How about we stop sleeping and drive all night?!" Liu Er gritted his molars and came up with an idea.
Xiao Han glanced at him and asked, "What should I do with these livestock? Throw them away?"
"That's not possible!" Liu Er stared with big eyes and shook his head like a rattle: "Didn't we already agree that these livestock include the soldiers who went on the expedition! Whoever wants to lose them, believe it or not, those soldiers will immediately Fight him desperately?"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes when he heard this: "That's it. With all these burdens, it's incredible to be able to run seventy or eighty miles a day! But those Turks riding fast horses can attack in one or two hours. Hundreds of miles!
Even if we travel all night, we will not be able to reach Shuofang in a day and a night. When the time comes, they will come to kill us when we are exhausted. Do you think we can still win? "
"Then... what should we do?" Liu Er was choked and started to scratch his hair again.
According to the news from the Turkic scouts, there are at least several thousand enemies coming this time!
If this were the past, it would have been easier, just pack lightly and simply run away if you can't fight! But now there are so many cattle and sheep, how can they run away?
"Hey..." Looking up at the cows and sheep lying quietly on the ground in the distance, Liu Er felt that this might be the first time in his life that he had to worry about too many trophies.
"Why……"
Xiao Han also let out a long sigh, held his forehead and said: "There is no way! We can only block it with soldiers, and cover it with water and soil! Let's rest now, and when the enemy arrives, we will fight! They can't talk to us anyway.
If we really can’t defeat it, then we won’t need these things and we’ll go back to Shuofang to repair them! As long as the person is there, we can grab it later! "
"That's what I say, but there are so many cattle and sheep..."
Liu Er also knew that Xiao Han was right, but when he thought that all the fat on his lips might fly away!
Immediately I felt like my heart was pounding!
They are all children who are used to being poor. Once they get such a large amount of wealth, asking them to spit it out will definitely be more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Okay, let's do it like this! Remember, if the sheep is lost, the people will be there! If the people are lost, the sheep will be there, and the people and the sheep will be there!"
Xiao Han looked at the moon in the sky and slowly said these words of the great man. Then he patted the mournful Liu Er on the shoulder, stood up and ordered his guards to bury the corpses around him.
Although I learned from the scouts that the Turks will not attack tonight, on the battlefield, no matter how careful you are, you can never be too careful!
It's just some **, at most it would take some trouble to dig it out the next day, it's better than being eaten in a pot while sleeping!
