It was really hard for a woman who usually lived in a deep house to be worried about the war situation on the front line.
Xiao Luolan glanced at the leaden gray clouds again. The clouds in the sky were low and seemed to be falling down.
Zheng Yuxin caught a hare and came back.
The soldiers in the military camp all knew the retainers around the mistress, so they were very polite to them. The Xuanjia Battalion left behind was in charge of General Shi, who was responsible for protecting the mistress and the baggage that could not be taken away.
Their marching speed was not fast, and they spent more time hiding their whereabouts.
"Hey, monk, do it quickly." Zheng Yuxin threw the rabbit to He Jin.
He Jin wore a Taoist robe, said Amitabha, and then started killing animals neatly.
The big black man in the team always squatted in the corner. Xiao Luolan looked around and saw that the hunchbacked old man who always held up a large banner with the word "You" had already followed him to the front line.
Xiao Luolan entered the house to write in her diary, Tuoba Amu and Tuoba Agu left, and Xue Ying didn't come back for a long time.
Wait until nightfall.
Xiao Luolan felt something in her heart. She lifted the bed curtains and saw the dim candlelight in the tent. When she opened the curtain wearing a crane cloak, she raised her head and saw heavy snowflakes falling from the sky.
"It's snowing."
Xiao Luolan murmured.
At the same moment, Zhou Xu stretched out his hand to catch the heavy snow falling from the sky. The thin snow covered his bow and sword. Behind him were thousands of elite Youzhou cavalry running silently.
The cool wind could not cool down Zhou Xu's blood, but made him more awake.
He remembered a saying, winter snow should be dense and there is the sound of breaking jade.
Heavy snowflakes fell from the sky, and in the darkness, Zhou Xu did not hear the sound of breaking jade.
He could only hear the bloody pleasure screaming in his chest.
Ever since he got to know the tribes in the alliance, Zhou Xu had no intention of letting them go. It was rare for so many khans to get together, so I felt sorry for them not to reunite.
Retreating early on the snowy night, Zhou Xu showed a slightly ferocious smile.
Aren't they afraid of encountering ghosts?
Chapter 90 Fight!
"Snowing!"
"Very big snow!"
Gu Lun Wu Gu Khan, who left the city at night, let out a fierce breath. He looked at each other and Pugu Khan beside him, and then continued running with his tribe.
The Khan of the Hun tribe glanced behind him and saw that he could no longer see the way back to Yicheng. There was only vast darkness around him, the snorting of the horses under him, and white mist blowing out in the night.
"or…."
When Ba Yegu Khan heard the words of the Hun tribe Khan, he said impatiently: "What else? Why don't you go back? We have been gone for so long. How many times have you said this? You still want to go back? What are you going back for?" , keep it for the old king and the others to eat it up."
Absi Khan smoothed things over: "Don't get excited, Asa is doing it for everyone's good."
Sijie Khan said: "When our group was about to get ready for the evening, we got the old king and others drunk, offered them beauties and drank wine, and even sent away Suzilakun, all in the name of training. We sneaked out. When the old king wakes up early tomorrow morning, he will find that all of us are gone. Hey, do you think he will send troops to chase us?"
"But he can't catch him even if he wants to. After tonight, I will never return to this place." Sijie Khan shook off the snow on his body. He was wearing a fine wolf fur and looked at the endless horizon ahead. In the darkness, riding on a tall horse, I felt a little happy because I left Huiyi, and rarely said a few more words.
"Now that I think about it, none of the benefits that Old King Hui Yi gave us were realized. Instead, we lost a lot of people here."
"They said they killed Zhou Xu and captured Youzhou, but was Zhou Manzi killed so easily? The more I think about it now, the more I feel that the old king and Zhou Manzi must have made a deal in private."
"Suri Lakun of the Turks is still dreaming of taking over the Central Plains. It is estimated that he will be made a member of Jingguan in a few days. Just wait, Zhou Manzi is even more ruthless and ruthless towards the Turks. "
The Khan of the Hun tribe continued: "Although everyone's guesses are reasonable, I think the old king may not be who we thought? Maybe we should stay a few more days to see how the situation develops."
Gu Lunwu Gu Khan said: "Since you want to stay, then you can go back and make a deal beforehand. It's not that we Anda people haven't reminded you that the old king's third son is now at Xuanjia Camp in Youzhou. "
"When we were drinking in the evening, I even listened and asked why the third prince was not seen at the banquet."
"You were there and saw the old king's performance."
The Khan of the Hun tribe thought of the old king holding his new beauty at the banquet. He was so drunk that he didn't seem to think of the third prince at all. Even the eldest prince pretended to be unclear, saying that the third brother was withdrawn and not very good. After attending the banquet, they probably went back to the palace to rest. The most disgusting thing was that in the afternoon, they followed the clues and found that not only the third prince was not there, but the third prince and concubine had packed up their belongings with their children and left last month! Back to the Qimi tribe!
As soon as the Khan of the Hun tribe thought of this, the balance in his heart tilted again. He really couldn't figure out why the third prince could live well in the hands of Zhou Manzi. He returned to the third prince in a dignified manner. Was he crazy? Only then would he run to the enemy. Only if there was a possibility that he was a friendly army would Zhou Manzi accept him.
And why did the third prince and concubine leave early last month? The third prince must have informed them in advance and handed them over as a surrender. Needless to say, the third prince and concubine’s Qimi tribe must have been saved. Everyone thought about the fact that Qimi Khan originally wanted to form an alliance but regretted it. At that time How loud they laughed was how painful their faces were now.
The Khan of the Hun tribe pinched a snowball and stuffed it into his mouth to eat. The long ride on horseback made their whole bodies steaming. They were pressed for time and could only quench their thirst with snow water.
His lips were full of cracks blown by the cold wind. The Hun tribe Khan licked the taste of blood in his mouth, and finally said: "I won't go back."
To be honest, he still didn't trust Hui Yicheng, who had always been friends with Youzhou in the past.
I believe other Khans are the same.
"But where did the three-bow bed/crossbow on the city wall come from?" The Khan of the Hun tribe thought about it again: "Could it be that Zhou Manzi gave it to him? Just to dispel our suspicions?"
"We haven't really touched it, we only looked at it a few times. How do you know that the three-bow bed/crossbow is good? What if it is broken inside?" Pugu Khan said coolly.
Everyone present remembered that they had been in Huiyi for so long and had never even touched the three-bow bed/crossbow, and they felt even more suspicious about the old king.
"It's better to leave quickly," said Khan Absi. He was panicked by these people's speculations. He just felt that the people of the Central Plains were really cunning, more cunning than the sand foxes on the grassland.
"Everyone, don't get confused. We have 20,000 cavalry here. The Turkic pagoda cavalry were eaten entirely because they were too few." Gu Lunwugu Khan collected his thoughts and said, "Tumi I said there were three thousand pagoda riders, but you see there are only one thousand left under the city wall, and the remaining two thousand have not come yet, which means the situation is more serious than bad."
"Yes, we have 20,000 here! Ten times more than the Futu Cavalry! They are all cavalry. If you want to catch us, one hundred thousand cavalry will be the base. No matter how powerful Zhou Manzi is, one hundred thousand cavalry will only show up." On the grassland, even the blind can see." Ba Yegu Khan said: "We are walking just right now, it is snowing and dark, and when the snow is heavy, the horses' hooves will be covered, and it will be difficult to find traces."
The Khans felt a little relieved. When they first left and returned to Yicheng, they were worried that they would be discovered by the old king. It was already late at night with the moon in the sky.
Just wait until dawn.
Hunbu Khan thought, looking at the undulating dark plain ahead, with the moon and snow reflecting the light.
He turned his head and wanted to say a few words to Pugu Khan next to him.
In fact, they usually don't talk so much, and they don't know whether the quarrels along the way are to cover up their panic or to increase their confidence.
You know, they are facing Zhou Xu.
Back then, just relying on his name could make the Turks withdraw and return to Yicheng.
Khanbu Khan found that the snow seemed to be falling even harder. He faced the wind and snow and tried to wipe away the snow that fell on his eyebrows. As soon as he put his hand on it, he seemed to hear the sound of arrows piercing through the heavy snow. In the cold wind, he couldn't hear the slight sound clearly, but it shocked him to the point where he was dripping with cold sweat.
He quickly put his hand down, and then hot blood sprayed all over his face.
Hunbu Khan turned his head stiffly, and Pugu Khan beside him was hit between the eyebrows by an arrow. The white feathers of the arrow were still buzzing, and when they shook, they were like white snow falling down, mixed with the wind and snow in the sky. Together, it is almost impossible to tell whether it is white snow or arrow feathers.
And Pugu Khan's whole head exploded into a ball of blood, which covered Khan's face with blood. Then his huge body fell off the horse, with an angry look on his face, as if he had seen something unbelievable. .
Everyone froze in place.
Under the sound of horse hooves, heavy snow filled the sky.
A little bit of light stretched like starlight, and at a glance, there seemed to be tens of thousands of people hunting with flags flying.
Zhou Xu was riding a war horse on a high plain, looking down at the Huiyi Alliance below. He put down the long bow in his hand and smiled at the people below.
For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the howling of the cold wind all over the mountains and plains, like the shrill howl of a ghost. Several Khans stared at the sudden appearance of Zhou Xu and the heavy armored cavalry ambushing around as if they had seen a ghost. They felt like they could hardly breathe. It's about to solidify.
Where did they come from? Gu Lunwugu Khan turned his neck with difficulty to look at the heavy armored cavalry. Each of them was a bit taller than their strongest clansman, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Even the war horses under their crotches were using The armor was wrapped up, and they were fully armed, as if they were surrounded by high black walls. In their hands were giant two-edged swords about two meters long, with the sharp and terrifying long end now pointed at them. them.
It's a heavy armored cavalry!
It's actually a heavy armored cavalry!
Gu Lun Wu Gu Khan made a strange hissing sound from his throat, and a stream of cold air hit his forehead. He even blinked, thinking he was hallucinating, but no, it was actually real. ! How much was hidden in the shadowy darkness? Gu Lun Wu Gu Khan only knew that judging from the number of torches, it was about ten thousand horses.
His mind was dizzy, and he tightened the reins in his hands. Hearing an overwhelming voice shook his mind, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"The general is invincible! All battles are invincible!"
"The general is invincible! All battles are invincible!"
The voice came like a tidal wave, and the sound shook the fields like thunder. The iron cavalry rode on the snow, and the sky was full of jade.
Zhou Xu took a desert knife, weighed it, nodded with satisfaction, took a deep breath, galloped on his horse, and roared.
"Everyone, come with me to fight!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!" The cavalry behind them roared like thunder, following behind the general, not giving the people on the opposite side any time to react.
The heavily armored cavalry advanced like a wall.
Zhou Xu took the lead in the charge, and the desert sword in his hand exerted terrible lethality. The men and horses were shattered with one touch, and a hole was torn out among the 20,000 cavalry. No one dared to get close.
The sound of killing on the battlefield was loud!
The 20,000 cavalry were defeated like a mountain. Sijie Khan was riding on the horse with blood on his face. Like other Khans, he wanted to lead the team to break out of the encirclement, but he was already red-eyed.
As the second team, Li Xun saw that the Ghost Tu heavy armored cavalry had completed their mission, breaking up the opponent's military morale and formation, and immediately led the Youzhou Xuanjia Battalion to resist the enemy's deadly counterattack.
After breaking through again and again, they were blocked by them again and again. Tuoba Amu held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other and faced these people head-on. There was a roar in his ears. There were broken limbs in front of him, and the blood was soaked in the heavy snow. This unknown plain turned into purgatory, and the battlefield was extremely cruel.
After three battles and three defeats, the bow/crossbowmen at the top took turns firing volleys.
When there was no more enemies around, Tuoba Amu stood up and found that his hands were shaking.
It wasn't that he was afraid, but he had cut too many people and his hands were a little numb.
Tuoba Agu looked around and saw the captured khans and hundreds of surviving people. They were surrounded by bows and crossbowmen. They could be shot into a hornet's nest just waiting for an order, let alone the heavy armored cavalry. They hadn't even taken off their armor yet, and all of them were gone in a head-on charge.
The old leader Chachawu came, followed by the Tiele people who were cleaning the battlefield. All the Tiele people did not dare to look at the Jiedushi Lord in front, with a look of fear on their faces. There were 800 people on the trip, and now they are the only ones left. Three hundred people, many of whom were injured.
Zhou Xuan was also injured, and the military doctor was bandaging it. Zhou Lingzhi sat next to his father and gasped. Not only him, but the surviving cavalry were also panting violently. Holding the desert knife, everyone's body was steaming. The snow was still falling, but it couldn't cool their hearts.
Even some young cavalrymen were still in a daze. Did they really kill so many people? !
With evil eyes in his eyes, Jin Ben patrolled the battlefield, and when he encountered someone who was still alive, he would give him a finishing blow.
Zhou Xu's body was covered in blood, and even his cuffs were filled with blood. He looked like a bloody man. He took some snow and wiped it casually for himself.
Li Xun and others were checking the number of casualties on their side, and carried out their dead comrades so that they would not be among the corpses.
Tuoba Amu slowly sat on the ground, took out a copper tube from his arms, and held it tightly. There were sunflowers in it that he had not sent out yet.
He closed his eyes. It was snowing here. I wonder if it was snowing in Langge. He missed her very much.
After Zhou Xu tidied himself up, he walked to the captured Khans.
