"Fire!! It's on fire!!"
.......
"There is an enemy attack!!"
........
"Don't mess around, don't mess around, get your weapons and protect yourself!"
........
"Ooooooo, grandma, daddy, I'm afraid..."
When the flames bloomed in Atai, the entire tribe instantly became noisy.
There were figures, and under the light of the fire, men and women were making a mess, and children were crying.
"Armored Cavalry!"
"Charge!"
Outside the tribe, Zhang Qi looked at the Atai tribe that was gradually burning with fire, and gave a cold order!
Three uniformed cavalrymen reined in their horses.
The horse's hooves are as fast as thunder on the ground!
Boom boom.
Boom!
The manic sound of horse hooves was like a drum beating in people's hearts, shaking the spirits of Zhang Qi and the people around him.
Three armored cavalrymen rushed into the Atai tribe. The distance of more than 100 meters caused the speed of the riding and slashing horses under their crotches to soar to the extreme.
Under firelight.
The armored cavalrymen were like gods descending to earth. A dozen of Atai's men were knocked into the air, and then fell to the ground hard.
The heavy cavalry charge is a joy to watch.
It's just that this kind of pleasing to the eye is only for your own people.
The heavy cavalry entered the battle, and the Atai tribe became more chaotic. Those emotionless killing machines picked up prairie people one after another with spears in their hands, whether they were children, women or old people.
Zhang Qi drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Atai: "Enter the battle! Those who surrender will avoid death!"
"rush!"
Da da da.
The fangs hidden in the darkness opened their bloody mouths, and hundreds of knights entered the battle, bringing with them the low groan of death.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
....
"Those who kneel will avoid death!"
Under Zhang Qi's instructions, every warrior who rushed into Atai's tribe shouted loudly. The panicked tribal organization could not afford any effective resistance, and the sparse arrow rain had no lethality at all.
Most of the elites in the tribe were recruited to Shan Yuting. Today, only a small number of elites are still in the tribe. The others are just old people, children and women.
As the flowers of killing bloomed more and more vividly, more and more people in the tribe fell to their knees.
Even the usually aloof tribal dignitaries knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhang Qi and the others arrived so suddenly. No one expected that someone would come out to attack the tribe in winter. This has not happened on the grassland for a long time. Especially after the military official Shanyu succeeded to the throne, the number of court officials from the Han Dynasty increased year by year. After many years, although everyone's life is still difficult, they can still survive.
Bang, another corpse was carried away by Ma Gui. The blood had dyed his furniture bright red, and under the light of the fire, it looked like an evil ghost from hell.
Some people took advantage of the chaos and wanted to escape from the tribe. The Kusait heavy mounted archers and the champion archers were not vegetarians either. Their bows and arrows were more accurate than the others.
No one can leave the tribe.
Gradually, the commotion in the tribe subsided. Except for Zhang Qi and the others, whose horses were standing, everyone else on the ground was kneeling or dead.
"The servant army searches for those who are hiding, and the female soldiers are on guard."
Seeing that Ataibu was under control, Zhang Qi loudly stopped the killing of others. He came to ask for people, not corpses.
Thirty or so cavalry servants began to search various yurts on horseback. The female soldiers bent their bows and aimed arrows at those kneeling on the ground.
"Who is the nobleman of Ataibe? Stand up!"
Zhang Qi reined in his horse and circled it twice.
No one in the tribe dared to speak except for whimpering.
"I'm asking once, who is the nobleman of Atai tribe!"
Zhang Qi's voice was high-pitched and his tone was cold.
"I...I am..."
At this time, an old and powerful voice sounded from the crowd kneeling on the ground.
Then an old man with white beard and hair stood up from the ground wearing a simple thin coat.
"Ulu Atai has seen this noble man, I don't know..."
The old man stood up and asked Zhang Qi carefully.
Zhang Qi looked at him and said solemnly: "Which ones are your family members and which ones are your subordinates? Let them all stand up."
"Yes...noble sir."
Wulu Atai couldn't guess Zhang Qi's thoughts. The situation was stronger than the people, so he could only follow Zhang Qi's wishes.
"All the sons of Atai, please get up."
Ulu Atai shouted a few words to the crowd, and then dozens of people stood up one after another.
There are men and women, old and young.
Zhang Qi nodded, rode up to a ragged woman, raised her chin with a long knife in his hand and asked: "Have these people who stood up ever bullied you in the past?"
The woman was confused and speechless for a moment.
Frightened, Zhang Qi let go of the long knife pressed against her chin and turned to ask another woman.
"Were you able to eat enough in the past?"
Zhang Qi asked condescendingly.
The woman whose chin was lifted was timid and did not dare to look at Zhang Qi. She shook her head slightly and said, "Eat... you are not full."
"Well, if you dare to tell the truth, yes, you will be rewarded."
Zhang Qi released the long knife pressed against her chin with satisfaction and shouted behind him: "Come on a female soldier and give her food!"
Zhang Qi then asked several more people in succession. Every time he got an answer, good or bad, he had someone give food to the person being questioned.
Ataibu's eyes were filled with astonishment.
But Zhang Qi continued to play out the same drama as if he didn't see it.
Until he asked the unknown number of people, Zhang Qi still raised his chin with a long knife: "Have you eaten enough?"
The latter shook his head.
"Haha, okay, reward."
Zhang Qi retracted his sword, looked at all the people kneeling on the ground and asked, "What about you? Are you full?"
Most of the people who knelt down were shaking their heads. It was a fact that they didn't have enough to eat. The food in the tribe was given first to the powerful people in Atai, followed by the young and strong, and the war horses, and finally it was the turn of the herdsmen at the bottom.
"Hahaha, since you can't even get enough to eat in this tribe, what are you doing? Come to my tent and you'll have enough food!"
Zhang Qi laughed.
With a wave of his hands, dozens of arrows were shot at the Ataibe nobles who stood up.
There were screams for a while, and then the female soldiers stepped forward to hit him one by one.
Ataibe, who had just relaxed a little, became nervous again, and everyone's eyes were full of fear.
Zhang Qi clapped his hands and rode forward with ease.
"Go, collect all the bread and distribute it."
"promise."
Without any hesitation, the eagle unified all the noodles carried by everyone, and then distributed them to the Atai herders who were still kneeling on the ground.
The hard noodle cake was divided into several pieces and each person shared some. The herdsmen of Ataibe were stunned again. They really couldn't understand what Zhang Qi was doing, but holding the food in their hands, everyone felt They all seemed to have settled down a lot.
"This food is for you. From today on, there is no Atai tribe. All of you are my subjects, Zhang Qi!"
"I told you, everything under my account will have enough food and food tubes. If not, I will take you to grab it!"
"Now, those who are willing to follow me, please stand up. Those who are unwilling, continue to kneel. When we leave, you can stand up."
In the night, Zhang Qi's words were sonorous and powerful. As his words fell, after a brief silence, one of the herdsmen who were once members of the Atai tribe stood up.
