"I'm not doing anything, I'm just here to take a look." The horse walked lazily, and Zhou Tu put his hands on his hips and squinted at the other person: "This is not your pasture. Why, you still can't see it? Or should I say Is there anything you don’t dare to show others?
Or is your housekeeper embarrassed and shy by us? "The horse seemed to understand the master's words, raising its head and showing two rows of big teeth.
The people behind him burst into laughter. The rider on the opposite side turned his red face to purple and turned his horse's head angrily: "If you have the guts, stay here and don't run away!"
After saying that, he whipped his mount and ran back. He went to a man opposite and said a few words, and the people on the opposite side became commotion. Immediately, a man rushed out shouting and holding a long knife and went straight to Zhou Tu.
Zhou Tu raised his head as if looking at the birds in the sky and paid no attention to him. When the man reached forty steps, he suddenly had an arrow in his hand.
No one could see clearly, as if he had not even aimed, the arrow had penetrated the opponent's throat, and the body fell off the horse with a loud sound and fell into the grass.
Riding and shooting should have been Egu's skill, but unexpectedly, he was bitten by the enemy. There was cheering here, and two horses rushed out from the other side, one on the left and one on the right. Zhou Tu already had two more arrows in his hand, and he raised his bow towards the one on the right with a sneer.
The man was startled and hurried to the horse's belly. Unexpectedly, Zhou Tu twisted his body and shot at the man on the left. The man was unprepared and was hit in the eye socket by an arrow.
The one on the right just returned to the saddle and saw that Fei Jian was already in front of him. He yelled and pulled hard on the horse's reins. Then he curled up in pain and slowly fell down like a sack.
This time, not only were the officers and soldiers blowing whistles, cheering, and applauding, but there was also a buzz from Kergo's side.
Prairie people admire capable men. Just now, Zhou Tu could draw his bow to full length and twist his waist immediately. The combination of his horse control skills and the strength of his waist, abdomen and arms would be obvious to an expert at a glance.
Seeing that Kerr's morale was greatly affected, their leaders were obviously uneasy. After discussing with each other for a few words, the warriors beside the commander hung up their weapons, opened their arms and let the horses come forward.
On the grassland, this is a gesture of proactive greeting to strangers. In wartime, it means that there is no intention to attack and you want to talk to the other party. Luo Guangen was about to explain to Li Dan when he turned around and told Lu Jiu:
"Unfold the flags and let the other party know my name." Then he shouted to Zhou Tu and asked him to return to the team. He patted Zao Liu'er and took the initiative to greet him.
The warrior raised his head and saw the flag flags stopping his horse. He looked back, and when Li Dan was two horses away from him, he tilted his head and frowned and asked in slightly less fluent Chinese: "Secretary and Foreign Minister, Mr. Governor, are you a civil servant?"
"Exactly." Li Dan smiled.
The knight looked up and down, and gradually became a little contemptuous: "Does your emperor have no capable people under his command? Are you going to send a baby to oversee the army?"
"I'm sorry, older people are busy with big things. It's enough for me to deal with such trivial matters like yours!" Li Dan intercepted the opponent's counterattack: "But you haven't reported your family status yet. Is it really what my subordinates said? , are you shy?"
"Hmph, I won't be fooled by your provocation." The man sneered: "I am Dalu Huachi of Tokyo Road, the general manager of the people, and the commander-in-chief of Lord Di Limeishi, Yeli Apang. I didn't say it just because Disdainful, after all, your official position is too low!"
"Haha, the judge on Tokyo Road can actually be in charge of a general soldier? Isn't Yeliapang's official position a secret attack?"
"This is none of your business!" Yeli A Pang's face suddenly became confused: "You came to peek into my camp, aren't you afraid of death?"
"Ha, it seems that I am right? It doesn't matter, general, what's not to admit? But there is something wrong with your Chinese. This is our territory, I can look at it however I like, the word "peeping" is used inappropriate!"
Li Dan smiled contemptuously: "Of course, you are a Yin official, so it's no wonder you don't understand this. Go back and study hard, and don't make mistakes again next time we meet. I am the Tanhualang who took the exam last year. If you make a mistake, I will laugh. !」
Yeli A Pang's face turned blue and red when he said it. He gritted his teeth and snorted, and said viciously: "For the sake of you being a civil servant, I will let you go back, otherwise I will take it and peel it off." Wearing beautiful armor and being dragged to death by a horse!"
"You are a Semu person, right?" Li Dan suddenly
Said: "Did our ancestors surrender or were they captured? You are not an Egu and you have nothing to do to work for them. Why are you so hostile to the Han family?"
Let me give you a suggestion. Anyone who becomes a slave is a slave. Why don't you surrender and follow me back to Shangjing? Wouldn't it be much better than suffering on the grassland? "
"It seems that we can't reach an agreement. It's better for you to stay away from the battlefield, little one. Don't let the blood stain your beautiful armor."
"I don't mind if it's your blood!"
Yeli A Pang glared at him fiercely: "Are you really not going to get out of here?"
"I haven't seen enough yet." Li Dan shook his head.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" After Yeliapang said, he took off a pair of long-handled hammers from the saddle bridge.
"I'm carrying a weapon too!" Li Dan also took off his horse.
The two looked at each other for a moment, nodded, and then walked in opposite directions. As the distance grew larger and larger, Zao Liuer began to get excited and started walking from a jog to a small step. Li Dan estimated the distance in his mind and suddenly turned his horse's head when he was almost there.
Zao Liuer shook his head, his mane exploded, his eyes widened, and he jumped forward. When it landed, Gao Can whispered: "Win!"
He saw that Yeliapang had also turned his horse's head. When he looked back, he was surprised. He didn't expect that the opponent turned around and exerted force so quickly. He quickly urged his mount to move forward to meet the enemy, and the two horses quickly moved closer.
At that time, there were very rules for generals to challenge to single combat. Both sides could not have subordinates lend a helping hand. Hidden weapons could not be used if there was an agreement in advance. When challenging, they must exchange names to show respect for each other. The winner had priority to take away the loser's horse. , weapons, armor, etc., it's not as simple as just reaching out and hitting.
In addition to the challenge of the strength and martial arts of both parties, the speed, impact and flexibility of the horses, as well as the control and familiarity of the horses are all key. This is why generals and warriors pursue high-quality war horses that are considerate, fast, and powerful.
Li Dan turned his horse's head back before the opponent took a breath, which shows that he has good control and familiarity with the horse, and also shows that Zao Liu'er is a good horse.
Nayali A Pang deceived Li Dan because he was young and a civil servant, and he was also greedy for his horses and armor. Therefore, after a final verbal exchange, he decided to accept Li Dan's duel.
Seeing him turning around quickly, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that this kid had good riding skills.
As soon as he had this thought, the two horses were already very close to each other. Only then did he realize that Li Dan did not go to his right as usual, but to the left.
not good! Yeli A Pang screamed in his heart and quickly shifted his focus from the right side to the left side. At this moment, he saw a flash of cold light, and Ma Shan was already heading towards the door.
Weapons like horseshoes are longer and heavier than spears and spears. This is why many generals after the Tang Dynasty felt that the front end of this thing shook when charging and was difficult to control, so few people gradually used it.
Li Dan is very powerful, but he prefers this thing. He stood with his horse at a height advantage and moved forward. When he saw Yeli A Pang coming back to meet the enemy, he flicked the hammer head and hit the lower part of the hammer head with a "dang" sound. Sparks could be seen bursting out in broad daylight.
Yeli A Pang felt the tiger's mouth was sore and numb, and screamed unconsciously. At this time, the weapon arrived and hit his helmet hard. Yeli A Pang let go of his hammers and leaned back. His mount ran a few steps to slow down, and the body slowly slid to one side.
Mao Zaidi stepped forward and pulled him off the horse, pulled out a short ax from behind and chopped off the head, tied his hair braid to the side of the saddle, and pulled his horse back. He did it smoothly. At this time, Li Dan had just come back.
"Ah——, brother!" Someone in the opposite team suddenly shouted in Egu language, and a horse rushed out and went straight to Li Dan. The knight on the horse shouted: "I am Lemi, give me back my brother!"
Others didn't know what he was yelling about, but Li Dan understood it. He turned his face and looked at the pair of scimitars in the opponent's hands and sneered. He thrust the sword into the ground, drew out his sword and stepped forward.
The two of us blocked the ground for two or three rounds, then suddenly became quiet. Zhelemei stared at Li Dan fiercely with his head half lowered. He held the knife in both hands, the blade trembling slightly.
The blood that was constantly flowing from his two wrists flowed along the tip of the knife to the ground. Zermi's face quickly turned pale, and both of his wrists were broken.
Li Dan, who returned to him, looked at him with some pity: "Throw away the knife and go back, let
They bandage your wounds so you can't be a warrior, but you can still be a man. "
He spoke in the ancient language. Zermi looked at him in surprise, and the fire in his eyes dimmed. He shook his head and said in a weak voice: "My brother is dead, how can I have the dignity to live alone in the world, and how can I be a man?"
Li Dan was silent for a moment and nodded: "Warrior, are you willing to face your own fate in the world of immortality?"
"Please be more prompt."
These were Zhelemiel's last words, and his head dropped. The body fell on the horse's back, and the blood from its neck sprayed on the horse's mane and became wet everywhere on its neck.
The horse was frightened by the warmth and fishy smell. Mao Zaidi pulled the reins of the horse and looked at Li Dan. The latter shook his head, turned his face and said loudly in Egu language:
"A warrior is worthy of respect. Take him back and bury him properly. May the Immortal God bless him to live in a new world without wars and vendettas in the next life!"
When Ker's soldiers were collecting the bodies of the two brothers, the steward, Di Limeishi, finally had to step forward and asked, "So you know our language?"
His cloudy eyes were lifeless, and Li Dan concluded that he must also have the blood of a person with lustful eyes. "What on earth are you going to do?" The steward was very angry when he didn't talk to him. He had never been treated with such neglect.
"Can't you see that? It's a good thing that you are in the position of the general manager." Li Dan sneered: "It turns out that your subordinates are just such a bunch of people. They really can't stand up to a fight with me."
The manager's face became solemn: "Boy, do you want to fight me?"
"I originally thought so, but now I don't think it is necessary." Li Dan chuckled: "How can you fight me in a decisive battle like this? You still need opponents in chess, but this kind of army is no match at all."
"Don't be too crazy!"
"If you weren't crazy, you would have a fight with me, right?" Li Dan gestured with his chin: "Otherwise, either you take people out of Haizi, or you guard Haizi and others will leave. There is always no shortage of wolves on the grassland. !」
Di Limei turned around and looked behind him: "You don't need to worry about my people. Tell me where I can find you?"
"Not far away, I'm at the Liao River." Li Dan looked very serious: "We will meet in five days for a competition. If you don't come... just think that you are willing to humiliate yourself."
"Do you think you can do whatever you want to Kelge and everyone has to listen to you?"
"Haha, you don't have to listen," Li Dan mouthed toward the camp: "The news has spread, they will force you to listen.
If I were you, I would stop talking nonsense now, get on my horse and go to the other side to discuss with the Khan and ask for his permission. After all, you are still under his control in name, right? "
"You know us very well!" Di Limeishi said through gritted teeth, then slowly turned the horse's head and said as he walked: "I understand, you are here to provoke us today!"
"You're right, I'm just here to provoke!" Li Dan repeated, and then shouted: "Remember my words, you don't want to continue to be the alpha wolf, there are many people on the grassland who are willing!"
"No need for you to remind me! Nonsense boy!"
Li Dan was silently happy, and turned back to tell everyone: "Let's go, change horses immediately after crossing the ridge!"
"What, are you worried that they will chase you?" Yang Lianjie asked.
"Definitely!" Luo Guangen lowered his voice and said, "Don't panic, don't look back, just walk away as if nothing happened, and do what you say." After saying that, he asked one of his scouts from the Egu Book: "Sing up that love song of yours!"
"Sir, are you singing a love song at this time?"
"Stop talking nonsense, start singing and talk about it later!"
Then a long song began to echo in the air.
After crossing the ridge, everyone immediately changed horses. Luo Guangen was surprised to find that Li Dan and his men all changed horses immediately, jumping directly from the original horse to the backup horse without dismounting.
"Master Luo, don't be surprised. Master Yang taught this to the military academy, and we learned it in the military academy. You can't become an officer if you learn it!" Shi Dajun took the initiative to clear up his doubts.
"They're coming!" The scout who was watching from behind shouted after him.
Soon, this group of people was running in front, with nearly 500 riders behind them.
Soldiers are chasing. After crossing the Toudao River, they also pursued the Erdao River and the Sandao River.
The Egu people hurriedly chased out a single horse, but Li Dan and the others replaced the spare horse that had been resting. At this time, the advantage of the two horses was revealed.
Li Dan and others led the five hundred people to Bijia Mountain, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly, while those behind them were furious and pursued them.
Luo Guangen was a little confused at first, but then he suddenly realized: It turned out that the chief governor was planning to give him a mouth and then make him walk in the mud, which is as disgusting as possible. This... is too poisonous!
Just as I was thinking about it, I entered the mountain. After three turns and two turns, Li Dan and others disappeared. The pursuers behind me were beating the drums in their hearts and did not dare to pursue them. They quickly changed the rear team to the front team and planned to withdraw. Who knew the sound of a bull horn?
Black-armored cavalry appeared in the valley ahead, and then the rear team reported that they were also blocked by black-armored cavalry. The generals led by Kerr suddenly felt that something was not good and immediately broke through the encirclement.
He pulled out his scimitar and charged back at the guys wearing black plate armor. Before he could reach them, the opponent suddenly pulled out his own blunderbuss and started hitting them with "ping ping ping pong".
The Kerrs screamed as they were shot, and occasionally grenades were thrown into their midst, causing them to fall over. Duan Yan, who was on the other side, heard the movement and brought his men to press over, compressing Ker's pursuers into a valley three hundred steps long.
Both sides fired six rounds of musketry, and everything became quiet. Someone jumped off the horse and walked into the scene carrying a short blunderbuss and a sword to see if anyone was dead. The valley was filled with blood and corpse air, which made Luo Guangen choke at the sight.
After killing five hundred people in half an hour, he now felt that the young supervisor was probably not talking nonsense when he said he wanted to anger the Kelge people and then annihilate them.
