More than twenty people, all riding horses.
There were not many people, and they were riding horses and wearing armor. It was impossible for them to be aliens. Even if they were aliens, it was impossible for the wolf and eagle outposts scattered outside the mountains and forests not to warn them in advance.
The hanging basket was lowered, and only one of the twenty-three people was able to pull it up.
Han You was far away. As he walked over quickly, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are these people?"
Zhou Tong walked in the front and turned around and said: "He speaks Chinese, looks like a Han, wears the armor of our Zhou army, and uses the long sword of our Han army. It can be seen from this..."
After thinking for a while, His Highness Can Gui concluded firmly: "They are Han people."
Han You: "Are you sure that His Majesty is your biological father?"
Zhou Tong was suddenly startled: "What do you mean?"
Han You: "..."
He just lamented that His Highness Can Gui's mother-in-law drank Sanlu when she was preparing for pregnancy. How could such a thief as Lao Ba give birth to such a fool?
As we walked all the way, we saw that the person who was pulled up had an ordinary appearance, with a very dark face, and the armor on his body was shabby and shabby, as if it had just been found at the scrap collection station. The armor was Han army armor, and the boots were missing. ,barefoot.
It is worth mentioning that the armor on his body is the same style as the light cavalry armor of Xiaoqi Camp and Gongma Camp, and there are many subtle differences.
Most of the armor worn by infantrymen is plate armor. This guy is obviously wearing cavalry armor. It is light and does not protect the whole body. It only protects the legs and waist. It is lined with white cloth and soap. This kind of armor is not half-body armor. It is usually for cavalry soldiers. It is worn by cavalry who are riding in the middle of nowhere or by vanguard light cavalry who are eager to step onto the battlefield to reduce weight.
"Young Master." Wang Hai was the first to react: "It should be King Qin's elite cavalry!"
As soon as the word "King of Qin" came out, Han You's expression changed drastically, and he walked over with three steps at a time.
Although the guy pulled up by the hanging basket was a Han Chinese, he came from outside the customs after all. There were many troops around him as if they were facing a powerful enemy. The captain of the corner tower was chattering to the other party.
Seeing Han You coming, people got out of the way.
The captain who asked the question couldn't help but said: "Major General, this person claims to be under the command of the rebel Zhou Xiao and wants to see Commander Ren."
There are quite a few people in Nanguan who know that Zhou Xiao is not a real traitor. After all, so many people saw Zhou Xiao and his men setting fire to the enemy's food and grass. The problem is that there has never been an official announcement, so everyone can only continue to say it openly. Zhou Xiao is a rebel.
"Well, let's go find Commander Ren." Han You nodded and asked the captain to leave first, while Wang Hai and Lu Baichuan waved to the surrounding troops to disperse and return to their posts.
Everything related to Zhou Xiao is a secret matter.
"Who are you?"
Xi Zhi, the guard commander of Prince Qin's palace with a tired face and red eyes, kept looking at Han You.
When Han You arrived, everyone was extremely respectful, whether he was a school captain or an ordinary soldier. Han You's entourage waved his hand and everyone dispersed, which showed that his status was extraordinary.
When Han You saw that the people around him had almost dispersed, he asked in a low voice: "Where is His Highness King Qin?"
Xi Zhi's expression changed slightly: "You call my Highness Your Highness, could it be that..."
"Yes, I know the inside story."
"Who are you?"
"Han You."
"Who is Han You?"
Han You pointed to his waist badge: "Yidaowei."
Xi Zhi blurted out: "The remnants of the previous dynasty?!"
Feng Bai bumped Zhou Tong with his shoulder and whispered: "He called Shao Yin a remnant of the previous dynasty. Go and beat him."
His Highness Can Gui sneered again and again. He was Biao, not stupid, and he would not fall for this evil deed.
Now Zhou Tong has also noticed that the T0 bodyguard team around Han You is becoming saturated. The trio of Wang Hai, Lu Baichuan, and Jiang Zhui are enough. At most, one more can be added to make up the four guardians. Zhou Tong and Zhou Can can Gui's only good competitor is Feng Bai, a bitch who tries to make him look stupid every day.
"The emperor's own army."
Han You didn't get angry, he was used to it: "Tell me what happened and who you are."
"I want to see Commander Ren Canglin of Nanguan."
"I am the emperor's personal soldier, representing the imperial court and the palace."
Xi Zhi repeated stubbornly: "I want to see Ren Shuai."
Zhou Tong glanced at Feng Bai and felt that he could give him a good kick now.
"Okay." Han You didn't ask any further questions. He stood beside him with his arms folded and looked at Xi Zhi up and down.
Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that cavalrymen are brave warriors who are the bravest among the three armies.
In fact, this is not the case. Instead of being tall and tall, most of the cavalrymen are short and thin. They are either thin or strong.
There are those who have an eight-foot waist and eight-foot height and charge into battle on horseback without any chance of defeating the enemy. There are, not none. Most of them are military generals. They don’t wear heavy armor and ride thousands of miles on horseback. He can bear it, and the horse can bear it. No.
Especially for light cavalry, vanguard scouts and exploration horses, most of them choose people of short stature. To put it more simply, they choose people who are not that heavy.
The heavier the body, the taller the body. The taller the body, the bigger the armor. There are also many Tanma who like to ride ponies, which are more hidden and can come and go like the wind.
Just imagine, if Guo Xiaosi held up a carrot knife and rode a pony, swishing and swishing into battle, he would be like an elf on a horse. Who could catch him?
Let's just say that the commander of the Xiaoqi camp is handsome in clothes. Even though he looks like a square object now, even after he became an official, he grew taller. He was still skinny before.
Zhou Xiao, the eldest prince of the King of Qin, is unique in his ability to train troops. Most of his elite cavalry are short men. The same is true for Xi Zhi, who is only over 1.5 meters tall. Everyone has to crane their necks to look at him.
Zhou Tong kept looking back, but Ren Canglin didn't come for a long time, and he lost his patience.
"Quickly tell me, where is my eldest brother now?"
"Are you...the prince?"
"I am the Can King of Guizhou... No, I am the King of Zhou Tong!"
"So you are the King of Chu." Xi Zhi looked at Zhou Tong with a confused look on his face: "Why is His Royal Highness the King of Chu in Nanguan?"
"Stop talking nonsense, where is brother now?"
"this…"
Xi Zhi looked hesitant, gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee: "My Highness is in danger now, and I hope His Highness the King of Chu will send troops to help."
"What?" Han You cried out, "What's going on? Your Highness is injured?"
Xi Zhi said nothing and just looked at Zhou Tong.
It can be seen that this guy only trusts Zhou Tong, or his prince Zhou Xiao should trust Zhou Tong.
Hearing that his eldest brother was about to die, Zhou Tong was at a loss for words: "Just say what you say, say it quickly!"
"After His Highness came out of seclusion and burned the food and fodder of the rebel Kang Tianfeng and the foreign army, he went deep into the mountains and forests to the south, and successively raided nine tribes including Yun, Qiu, and Xiu..."
Everyone around took a breath, and Han You interrupted with admiration on his face: "I remember that you only had more than two thousand people and raided nine tribes?"
"Yes, His Highness is a master of military skills. He wants to imitate Han Bairen, the most powerful general in Nanguan in the past, who rushed to attack the Thousand Miles to suppress the Ban tribe. Now...now there are only...only twenty-six troops left. Unexpectedly, he was accidentally hit by the Leopard Division and blocked his way. Brother We are short of men and horses, so we have no choice but to retreat north, but..."
"Just wait a moment." Han You's eyes widened: "How many barbarian tribes did my father raid back then?"
"Who is your father?"
"Han Bairen is my father."
This time it was Xi Zhi's turn to take a breath of cold air. He looked up at Han You and was stunned for a long time: "It doesn't look like him, his biological son?"
"Believe it or not, I will step on you to death."
