After listening to Lao Ma's order, everyone in the mainland, including Lin Yan, obeyed. They are the Tang Army, and their duty is to protect the safety of the border area.
However, now this bloody scene has obviously greatly stimulated their nerves, making these soldiers feel very ashamed!
It’s not because of anything else, they didn’t protect these people well! These extremely hateful Nanbarbarians!
If they meet, they will definitely chop off the heads of these people to comfort the spirits of these dead people in heaven.
But then again, Li Zheng has already led a large force to pursue it. Do we still need to pursue it?
Moreover, the energy and blood surged for a moment, and after calming down a little, everyone also understood: the barbarians are fierce, and chasing a large army with just ten of them is like hanging an old man - his life is too long!
This is completely the way to die! If it is to be on the safe side, then one should wait for the captain to return with his large force, or go directly to the captain to gather strength to deal with the barbarians.
However, the cavalry is tasked with combat missions after all, and it is impossible for a large force to turn around and save a woman.
Moreover, by the time Team Zheng and the others come back, the woman may have already encountered an accident, and it will be too late!
Therefore, Lao Ma's decisive decision makes sense, and he himself will bear great risks because of it.
Even if the woman is successfully rescued in the end, the punishment she deserves is unavoidable! Lao Ma looked at everyone and said: "We need to leave one person here to wait for the captain. Yan Ling, you are new here, just stay here!" Lin Yan shook his head when he heard this and said: "What? Commander, although my subordinates are new recruits, they also want to pursue the barbarians. Please give me your approval!" Hearing this, Lao Ma glanced at Lin Yan in surprise. He didn't know how many recruits he had seen before. When he first faced the barbarians, he always There will be more or less fear, and even he was no exception back then. This is human nature!
But Lin Yan was different. Based on Lao Ma's many years of experience, he could feel that Lin Yan was very calm at this time, and it was definitely not an impulsive decision.
This made Lao Ma's evaluation of Lin Yan rise a bit, and he said in his heart: "This young man is not simple!" Since Lin Yan insisted, he did not continue to order Lin Yan to stay, but turned to look at the other person. A soldier said: "Erhu, then you stay here, put the bodies of the people away, and wait for Lord Duizheng!"
"Yes!" Erhu responded with clasped fists. Then he patted Lin Yan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so formal. Just like them, call me 'Lao Ma'!" Lin Yan nodded after hearing this.
The old man got on his horse and led the rest of the soldiers away quickly. After all, time waits for no one! However, the direction Lao Ma went was different from the direction Duan Zheng and his troops went, which also aroused doubts among the soldiers.
Lao Ma said: "Although the barbarians are cruel, they are not stupid. It is unlikely that a large army would do such a thing during a robbery. Therefore, I judge that there are other people who attacked the village, and there should be a small group of barbarians. This is the right team!" As soon as he said this, the soldiers understood Lao Ma's intention, which was to find the small barbarian force and rescue the kidnapped woman as much as possible.
In fact, Lao Ma’s analysis is very reasonable! If he stopped to insult a woman during the invasion and plunder, the entire team would be in chaos. The Tang army was not a freeloader. As long as the commander's brain was not kicked by a donkey, he would never make such a stupid mistake!
Normally, the barbarians would only rob property, kill people and set fires during the initial plunder. They would only rob women when they returned.
If you do this kind of thing during an attack, it will just add some extra burdens. People will be unstable and the team will be in chaos. Why fight?
Of course, then again, nothing can be absolute. It is impossible for a commander to manage every soldier in every team, especially when they are assigned to perform tasks, the binding force will be greatly weakened!
Under such circumstances, it is very possible for some unruly soldiers to do something outrageous.
In particular, the barbarian army is good at plundering, and this kind of thing has almost become a daily routine for them. Taking a few women abducting during the attack is not a big deal, as long as they are not discovered by the superiors!
Relying on his many years of experience in dealing with barbarians, Lao Ma actually discovered a small team of barbarians, about twenty people, gathered in a small mountain col after analyzing the clues left on the road.
In addition to these people, there were three or four young women, hugging each other and shivering. Far away, the old horse ordered the soldiers to stop, and at the same time he dismounted and walked, controlling the horses to prevent their neighing from revealing the position of everyone on his side.
Fortunately, these were war horses, so they were more obedient to their master's orders and did not make any noise, which allowed Lao Ma and others to continue approaching the barbarians.
One person was left to guard the horse and serve as a support, while the others, led by the old horse, quietly approached the small mountain col.
I just heard the voice coming from inside, saying: "Boss, these little girls are really good-looking. They can just soothe the restless hearts of our brothers, huh? Hahaha..." Someone echoed: "Say That's right! It just needs to be adjusted. These Tang Dynasty women have a unique flavor. I will have to enjoy it later!" Someone else said: "Yes, explain the profound things in simple terms and exchange knowledge. We are also doing this for cultural exchanges between the two countries. Make a contribution!"
"..." The barbarians laughed and laughed, and their words were full of obscene and obscene words. From what they meant, they had done this kind of thing countless times, and it seemed to have become a habit. !
"Beasts!" Some Tang soldiers cursed angrily in a low voice. Lao Ma turned around and glared at him, while making a silencing gesture.
There were only ten people on our side plus the soldier responsible for responding, but the number of the other side was more than twice as many as our own. This meant that Tang Bing had to deal with two or even three barbarians at the same time.
You must know that these barbarians are not just made up of clay. They are brave in battle and bloodthirsty and cruel. These are not just exaggerated.
If you want to use an animal to describe the barbarians, then the wolf may be the most appropriate! Because beasts like wolves are not only cruel, but also cunning. When dealing with them, you must be extremely vigilant at all times. The slightest mistake may put yourself in danger. The same is true for dealing with barbarians!
"I'll lead two people later to attract their attention. Lao Mo will lead a sneak attack from behind to contain them. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Da Hei and the other two will go rescue them. Do you understand me?" Lao Ma said.
"Understood!" Everyone responded in a low voice. Perhaps out of care for the new recruits, Lin Yan was arranged to rescue people with Dahei. The risk coefficient was relatively small, while Lao Ma and the others undoubtedly took the greatest risk!
While the Tang soldiers were discussing the battle plan, the voices from the barbarian side continued: "Boss, you said we were doing this kind of thing here, and if the leader knew about it, you wouldn't be able to skin us!" He raised his eyebrows and said: "The leader and the others have left here long ago. Let's go and meet them as soon as we are done. Who will know? Is it possible that you still want to inform?"
"You don't dare!" the soldier said.
"That's it! Hurry up!" the leader said impatiently.
"Boss, but I still feel a little uneasy!" The soldier hesitated for a moment and continued.
"I usually tell you kid to stop reading random books. After you recognized a few words, your brain went crazy! Get out of here. If you don't want to play, don't delay my play! You coward!" The leader cursed a few times. Then he walked towards the Tang Dynasty women.
The other barbarians all came forward with lewd smiles, with lewd expressions on their faces, stretched out their hands to grab the women, and began to tear off their clothes.
"Ah, don't come here! Help!" the women screamed in horror. The leading barbarian smiled obscenely and said: "Scream, shout! No one will come even if you shout to your throat! Rather, the more you shout, the more excited I am, hahaha..." At this moment, the barbarian was still As for humility, some bastards said to the leading barbarian: "Boss, you come first!" The leading barbarian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, I'll switch to you later!" The bastard said with a flattered look on his face. : "Thank you, boss!" Seeing that the women were about to be brutally murdered, Lao Ma ordered: "We can't wait any longer, take action!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Ma bent his bow and shot an arrow. He loosened his fingers and the arrow hit the target.
It flew out with a "whoosh" sound, then pierced the chest of a barbarian, splattering out a handful of gorgeous blood flowers.
The barbarian was preparing to enjoy a good meal later, but he didn't know that something unexpected happened, so he immediately received the lunch box.
The rest of the barbarians were not slow to react, and some shouted directly: "Enemy attack!" They quickly dispersed to avoid the incoming arrows. The leading barbarian frowned, and he was very depressed at the moment.
I had taken off my belt just now, but I was so frightened that I almost withered! At the same time, he was also surprised and doubtful, thinking: "Could it be that a large force of the Tang Army is coming?" But soon, he judged from the number of arrows that there were definitely not many people coming, probably only a few or so.
"Damn it, these people are tired of living! Come on, hack them to death!" the leading barbarian ordered.
The other barbarians rushed forward with swords and shouts, while the three of them fought and retreated. Suddenly, one of the barbarians who was charging forward froze. When he lowered his head, he saw that he had been stabbed in the chest, and it was Lao Mo who made the move.
When it comes to sneak attacks, he is very good at it. The other two men who followed him also stabbed the two barbarians seriously. This wave of sneak attacks had the desired effect.
The barbarians who reacted were extremely angry, and some of them rushed towards Lao Mo and others. While Lao Ma and Lao Mo were restraining the barbarians, Dahei, Lin Yan and another soldier took advantage of the chaos and touched the women.
Once the battle started, no one cared about the lives of those women. Before the women screamed, Dahei revealed his identity and led them to quickly retreat towards the horses.
Let the women get on the horse, then slap the horse's butt, and the two horses galloped out. The movement here naturally aroused the barbarian's idea, and he was even more furious at the moment!
Just these few Tang soldiers dared to provoke them. They really didn't want to live anymore! The leading barbarian waved his sword and shouted: "Kill them!" The barbarians swarmed in, and Dahei and others got on their horses to respond.
At that moment, two soldiers on Lao Ma's side died, and one on Lao Mo's side was killed. The fighting on the battlefield was so cruel!
Counting Dahei and the others, there were only seven people left in the Tang army, but there were still many barbarians.
"Hurry up and get on the horse!" Dahei and the others drove their horses over, and finally rescued Lao Ma and others at the critical moment, leading them to turn around and run wildly.
"Chase! We must not let them go!" The leading barbarian roared hysterically, and then led the barbarians in pursuit.
It has to be said that the barbarians are really good at riding horses. As the distance between them was shortened, the old horse frowned and said: "We can't go on like this! Our horses are carrying so many people that they can't outrun them at all." . Moreover, those women cannot run fast at all. Once they catch up, all their previous efforts will be completely wasted!"
"So, we have to hold them off for a while! Brothers, are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid of ghosts. The worst that can happen is that the person will die and the bird will turn upside down! Death in battle is not a bad place to end up!" the soldiers laughed loudly.
"Okay, then let's have a good fight with these southern barbarians today!" As they spoke, they turned their horses' heads...
