After Chu Qing was stunned for less than a second, he suddenly realized that he was not surprised at all.
Because if there are no accidents, there will always be accidents.
Without Chu Qing opening his mouth or Lin Kui giving an order, everyone drew their weapons.
This kind of weather is not suitable for fighting.
Wet roads are not suitable for riding either.
The field of vision is also limited, and it is the same for everyone,
Everyone quickly untied the ropes around their waists. In the dark night and heavy rain, when encountering the enemy, they could only fight at close range. If they ran away, everyone would be separated. Bows and arrows were of little use, so they could only kill and fight at close range.
The old soldiers and the new soldiers quickly formed a battle formation, dispersed the battle formation, and slowly pushed forward.
Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and earth, bright as day, like a charging horn.
Seeing that the old soldiers were already taking steps, Chu Qing, who was at the front, shouted loudly.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't take action yet!"
Shouting loudly, the veterans also saw clearly.
They were not rangers, the horses were pitiful, but just herdsmen, about four thousand herdsmen, most of whom were old, weak, women and children.
But this does not make the old soldiers let down their guard. On the grassland, even the most ordinary herdsmen can ride horses, use machetes, and shoot bows. In the countless wars between the two countries, the battle between herdsmen and rangers has continued. The roles would change back and forth. During wartime, these harmless herdsmen who looked like the refugees in Guanzhong would also follow their leaders to break through the gates, burn, kill and plunder.
Mu Hua was also yelling and ran in front of everyone, waving her arms and looking extremely anxious.
The old soldiers looked at Lin Hai, who then looked at Chu Qing.
Before Chu Qing could speak, Mu Hua suddenly ran towards the group of herdsmen, shouting as she ran.
Lin Kui said loudly: "Be alert!"
In this kind of weather and environment, Lin Hai's voice couldn't spread too far, so the soldiers turned around and shouted "Beware" one by one.
As if God wanted to rush both sides into a bloody fight, thunder followed one after another, and lightning flashed one after another, lighting up the sky and the earth, illuminating the nervous faces of both sides. The thunder was like a drum, urging both sides to fight to the death as soon as possible.
Mu Hua yelled, no one told him to do this, and no one knew why she did it.
Everyone's heart was in their throats, and the soldiers' breathing became heavier and heavier.
The old soldiers who were cursing the damn weather suddenly felt that this was very romantic.
Strong winds, heavy rain, lightning and thunder, killing the enemy, or being killed by the enemy, falling in a pool of blood, dying outside the pass. They like this way of death, tragic and romantic.
Mu Hua ran back again, as if being chased by a dog, and stumbled to Chu Qing, gesticulating and barking.
"Lanqi, Arak, and Chiyun are the herdsmen of the three tribes: Lanqi, Arak, and Chiyun. They have no ill intentions. They are poor herdsmen, poor herdsmen."
Chu Qing grabbed Mu Hua's front and yelled: "I don't know what the hell you are up to, and I don't know what the herdsmen are up to, asking them to put down their weapons, including cattle knives, skinning knives, and machetes. Any weapons, all bows and arrows, must be placed on the ground. After placing them on the ground, step back fifty steps. This is the case for everyone. If not, I will order a charge, and all men, women, and children will be slaughtered!"
"They have no malice or hostility. They were driven out of the pasture. The Shijia Banner pasture you are going to was robbed and occupied by flag wolf soldiers. They were driven out. The young and strong were captured. There was no Fierce warriors, they are just a group of old men and children.”
"Cut the damn nonsense, do what I say, tell them, put down your weapons, step back fifty steps, and those children, bring those children over and let them become our hostages, hurry up, go now, take them Otherwise, I will give the order to kill them all!"
Mu Hua bared her teeth and claws and tried to push Chu Qing away: "You are a devil, a ruthless devil!"
"I am your uncle." Chu Qing pushed Mu Hua to the ground and shouted again: "If I can't see the children or see them put down their weapons, I will order them to be killed and give you a quarter of an hour. !”
Mu Hua got up in embarrassment: "They won't agree."
"Then let them die!"
"You are the devil!"
Muhua shouted again in the rain, took a deep look at Chu Qing, and ran back.
If hatred and gaze could be exchanged for knives, Chu Qing would already be riddled with holes.
At this moment, Chu Qing was too lazy to ask for the reason, the whole story, or anything.
He doesn't care about flag soldiers, who robs whose pasture, or who is driven out by whom. He only cares about control and taking the initiative.
He heard too much about things on the grassland.
I don't know how many border troops came to the grassland, and they were kind-hearted and showed kindness when they saw the old and weak. However, what the herdsmen responded to them was cold scimitars and ferocious faces.
There were enemies on all sides on the grassland, and Chu Qing didn't trust anyone, not even the elderly or children.
He does not agree with this sentence if he is not a member of my race, but on the grassland and on the battlefield, this sentence must be a golden rule.
The current situation does not give the wolf-catching army an advantage. At least it is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, a huge disadvantage.
The guards and the detective horses have taken out the divine arm crossbows from the bottom of the box. Although there are not many in number, and the lethality has not been tested, they are at least stronger than bows and arrows. In this case, unless the distance is very close, the bows and arrows will not be able to perform well. have no effect.
Mu Hua in the rain was running and shouting, Chu Qing tightly grasped the handle of the long knife.
He didn't even have a plan, it was just an instinctive reaction. He just wanted to take the initiative. Even if the idea was very whimsical, he put down his weapons and sent the children as hostages. Not only him, but everyone around him felt that the herdsmen were not willing to do anything. may meet this requirement.
In fact, the herdsmen did not cooperate. They would not hand over their lives and women to Chang Jun.
When Mu Hua came back, she kept sneering and shaking her head.
Chu Qing was not surprised at all and raised his hand high.
Even he himself didn't notice that since various accidents occurred, Lin Hai rarely gave orders. Chu Qing was the one giving orders.
"Get ready to kill!"
Chu Qing yelled, and the people around him turned around and yelled.
"Get ready to kill!"
"Get ready to kill!"
Chu Qing shouted again: "God's Arm Crossbow!"
Fifty divine arm crossbows were erected on the ground, with crossbow arrows attached.
"shield!"
The old soldier put the few Chang shields on his shoulders, formed a human wall, and stood in front of Chu Qing.
"March."
Chu Qing's raised fist fell.
At the first sound of march, the hundred-faced shield began to move forward. Thirty steps forward, the divine arm crossbow was placed on the shoulders of the shield-holding soldiers. On both sides were soldiers holding long knives. As if he was full, he was playing tricks with two knives, with a scary smile on his face.
Dozens of battle formations began to spread out to the two wings, and lightning illuminated the scarlet eyes of the wolf-catching warriors.
Muhua Yinya was nervous, with a look of hesitation on her face.
Seeing the two sides getting closer, Mu Hua once again stopped in front of Chu Qing and the giant shield.
"Stop it, I'll convince them!"
Chu Qing pushed away the shield in front of him and slapped Mu Hua on the face, his gaze like a knife.
"I'm warning you for the last time. If you play tricks again, you will die immediately, and your son, the son sent to Wangyuan City, will also die!"
Muhua, who covered her face, kept shaking her head: "I'm not playing tricks, I just don't believe you. I don't believe you will let them go. They also don't believe you. You will cut off their heads and send them back to you." The country takes credit.”
"They don't dare to fight, right? They think we will leave." Chu Qing's tense expression finally showed a smile, and he shouted again: "Within a quarter of an hour, put down your weapon, step back fifty steps, and we will Send all the children here, if you don’t do what you are told, we will kill them all, Muhua, this is your last chance and their last chance.”
Twilight Flower ran away again, yelling.
Chu Qing let out a breath of turbid air silently.
As expected, these herdsmen did not want to fight. After being driven out of their homes, they fled aimlessly without any fighting spirit.
"Disperse, the guards holding divine arm crossbows and Tanma disperse."
The rain gradually decreased, and the moon seemed to be about to emerge.
Chu Qing looked up at the rain curtain, turned around and ordered: "When Mu Hua came back, soldiers holding divine arm crossbows shot their horses to death. Two hundred old soldiers quickly mounted their horses and spread out, forming a fan shape to surround them."
Tong Gui asked aloud: "What if they agree to your conditions?"
"I said shoot their horses."
"only."
