19, Hu Qi
“Ahhh—”
Seeing that the maids around him were still screaming, a gentleman in the middle of the crowd could not help but frown and secretly annoyed. He then called these unbearable slaves, for fear that the hearts of the people he had finally gathered together would disperse. He raised his eyes and glanced at the rider in front of him. The slave had already been shaken. He did not hesitate anymore, and reached out to grab the maid who was still screaming beside him, slapped the maid twice, and directly stunned the maid.
"If you dare to speak out again, you will be the first to throw you out!"
This gentleman with a beautiful face and a plain jacket and white dress glared at the swollen maid with a fierce look. The crowd was immediately scared by his majesty, and no one dared to speak out again.
The stable situation looked at the cavalry outside who was roaring and occasionally approaching the cavalry who shot an arrow. A hint of sorrow flashed across his face because he knew that the war was not over and the road was not stable, so he returned home early this time and brought so many servants and cavalry. However, he still did not expect that he did not encounter bandits on the road, but he met a Han army wandering soldiers.
At first he found that the Han cavalry was following him and he was snooping, and when he came to the cavalry, he knew that the other party was not in good condition. He hurriedly urged the servants to speed up the train and headed forward to the nearest pavilion and village gathering. Unexpectedly, a group of Hu cavalry appeared in front of him. He was afraid that he was in a hurry to order to take a shortcut to the nearby crowded place.
Unexpectedly, this hit the plan of these Hu cavalry. If they were still afraid of robbing on the official road, they would not dare to act hastily. Now, seeing the carriage and horses breaking away from the official road, they immediately moved together like a pack of wolves smelling blood, and finally surrounded the carriage and horses in this wasteland.
Now that he was surrounded by Hu cavalry, he really said that Tiantian was not responding, and that the earth was not effective. He let the gentleman send people to intimidate and tempt these Han army Hu cavalry, but these Han army Hu cavalry did not agree and still stepped up their provocation and forced the crowd. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, this handsome gentleman obviously could not allow the situation to worsen so much. He raised his spirit and said loudly to the people around him:
"Don't panic, 23, son. I have marked the distress signal on the road just now. My family's car frame is right behind. As long as I hold on for a while, I will be rescued. Anyone who is in the array will be given ten acres of land and two golds will be given, and those who are in charge will be exempted from slavery!"
As soon as these crisp but majestic words came out, the people around them were suddenly in an uproar. They were exempted from slavery and became the people of Guizhou again. They could also give land and receive rewards, and live a life of food and clothing without worries. Is this what I often say is that there will be great blessings after a great disaster!
Although the young and strong man in the array had only a few shields, he suddenly felt that the arrows he was facing were not scary. As long as he persisted for a while, he would immediately be able to leave his slave and return home in glory. Only the guards flashed a hint of fear in the eyes of the slave beside the gentleman. Since he discovered that Hu Qi was following him, he had been guarding the gentleman. He had never seen any marks made by this gentleman, let alone any frames behind him. If the situation had not endangered the extreme, how could the gentleman who was quiet and polite in his daily life get angry in front of everyone and even loudly offer rewards to everyone.
The situation was as expected by the big slave. Everything this gentleman said just now was made up to boost morale, so where are there any reinforcements?
The situation in the field further deteriorated. Seeing that the prey that was still screaming just now suddenly calmed down after a leader spoke. There was no sign of running away. The Hu Qi, who was originally planning to wait for the crowd to collapse and then chase and kill the robbery, approached to shoot arrows again.
This time, the crowd was not as lucky as last time. The Hu cavalry of the Han army shot directly or shot, and the arrows falling from all over could not be blocked by several shields. Two or three people in the crowd were immediately shot. Although they were not killed directly, they couldn't help but moan and scream after being injured and bleeding.
So the crowd that had just stabilized became panicked again. This time, even if the gentleman who had just stabilized the situation spoke again, he could not stop the chaos. Some people kept hitting arrows, but his bows could not shoot the Hu Qi running back and forth. The scattered array was like a fragile thin paper, and it was about to be broken with a slight poke.
Not far away.
"Military waiter, all the troops are ready, please give an order!"
When performing military affairs, Yan Xing always asked his previous troops and cavalry to be called on military positions. It was Ma Lin who made the voice. Although he could lower his voice, Yan Xing could still hear the excitement he could not suppress in his words. After holding him in so many days, it seemed that this time he really wanted to fight again as Ma Lin wished, and this time the target was the Hu cavalry unit of the Han army!
After observing for a while, Yan Xing and others found that these skilled cavalrymen were actually Hu cavalry troops from the Han army. They vaguely heard the loud promises from the surrounded people. Based on the judgment, it seemed that this group of wealthy families had a great chance of traveling and actually encountered the Hu cavalry of the Han army who had robbed the road in the Sanfu.
It is not uncommon for the Han army to have Hu cavalry organization. As early as the beginning of the founding of the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu recruited a group of Loufan archers who were good at fighting. During the reign of Emperor Wu, he even had the position of Hu cavalry among the eight lieutenants of the Northern Army, and specially commanded the recruited Hu cavalry to guard Kyoto and conquer all directions. Although in this dynasty, the eight lieutenants of the Northern Army were all five lieutenants, and the Hu cavalry was also incorporated into the Changshui Camp, but the tradition of recruiting cavalry that was good at fighting was always passed down in the Han army.
Like the generals guarding the border, they like to recruit these Hu'ers who are superb riding and shooting with perfect hair, and use gold, silk, food and clothing to build their hearts, give them strong armor and sharp soldiers and sharp minions, so that they can become their own private soldiers, follow their righteousness and serve their own lives to die.
These Hu Er, who grew up in a bitter and cold place, were indeed arduous and arduous after giving them gold, silk, food, clothing, and strong armor and sharp soldiers. They were like tigers, and they were often able to break the front and break the formation after they were put into the battlefield. For example, Dong Zhuo, the general guarding the Three Auxiliary, is said to have an extremely brave Huangzhong Yisong under his tent. Whenever the two armies fought for a long time, Dong Zhuo would send this elite army to defeat the enemy, and then chase the dead and chase the north, kill the general and snatch the flag.
However, it is not without drawbacks to drive these Han army Hu cavalry to fight. If they cannot give enough rewards for gold, silk, food and clothing, then these Hu cavalry will often reveal their true colors and retaliate against their masters. Moreover, these Hu cavalry are brave and often domineering. In the army, some will even plunder the four fields and kill pedestrians and business travelers.
The plundering Hu cavalry in front of him may be Yi Cong, who is guarding the commander of a general of Sanfu, and this is also the reason why Yan Xing chose to take action. Although these wealthy families who were plundered by Hu cavalry on their trip were indeed unfortunate enough to be emotionally worthy of sympathy. But just like Yan Xing warned his subordinates, "be kind and righteous do not control wealth." The one who supported Yan Xing's order to take risks in the enemy's territory to fight the brave Hu cavalry of the Han army was the military intelligence mastered by these Hu cavalry.
After determining that these cavalry were from the Sanfu Guards, Yan Xing made up his mind to leave one or two people behind. After all, instead of taking the risk to spy on the enemy camp, it would be better to catch the survivors of the Han army here so as to inquire about the internal situation of the Huaili camp garrison from their mouths.
In the blink of an eye, the young and strong men who had been struggling to support the array had collapsed. Some of them ran away with their heads in their arms, while others were scared out of fear and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with the maid who could not run. Only three or four young and strong gentlemen who were still desperately protecting them were on the horse, desperately trying to escape from the siege.
Just by approaching the arrow, the whistling of Mercedes scared many young and strong Han army Hu cavalry laughed and made a series of dirty words. They divided several riders and followed the escaped gentleman, jokingly forcing them to run forward like a cat-playing mouse, and waited until they exhausted their energy before they could solve them together.
The proud Hu cavalry of the Han army had been blinded by victory. They scattered their horses in a wilderness, easily hitting the escaped servants, and then raised their hooves high, trampling the poor ghost under the horse until they died.
Seeing this, Yan Xing, who had been lurking for a long time, knew that the opportunity to take action was coming. He turned over and jumped onto the horse, and immediately issued an order as he looked at the situation on the field:
"Everyone gets on the horse, remember! Two people will shoot one horse together, one person shoots the horse, and one person shoots the man. Ma Lin, you take five people to surround the right wing, and the others will follow me!"
With Yan Xing's order, except for a hunting outdoor who had been left by his side, fourteen subordinates of his companion boarded the horses one after another. Everyone rushed out like a tiger from the forest, and divided into two teams to encircle the outside of the Hu Qi like an open pliers.
"Enemy attack!"
It has to be said that these Hu cavalry are indeed elites who have experienced many battles. When Yan Xing and others urged the horse to approach from the periphery, the sharp-eyed Hu cavalry had already caught a glimpse of these sudden enemies and had no time to react. However, the instincts learned on the battlefield still drove them to alert their companions at the first time.
Unfortunately, the fighter plane that Yan Xing caught was just right, and the Hu cavalry who were scattered and scattered could not gather in a hurry, and Yan Xing and his two teams had already shot arrows at them.
"Swish--"
The sound of breaking through the air continued, and the effect of the two of them shooting together was instantly revealed. The Hu Qi was shot down seven people in an instant. One of them avoided the arrow, and the other blocked the arrow with the thick armor. However, their seats were shot and they were also overturned to the ground, and they lost their combat power after falling heavily.
Yan Xing and others, who had received miraculous effects in one round of shooting, threw down their bows and arrows, held ring swords, and accelerated the horses to rush towards the remaining Hu cavalry. Only Gan Ling held the bows and arrows in his hand, rode his horses to run outside, and used his continuous bead arrows, one arrow after another, and one arrow from a distance, and one shot from a person near. At the sound of the bowstring, Hu cavalry all fell off the horse.
Yan Xing rushed to the front of his team. He increased the speed of his mount to the fastest. The ring knife in his hand was holding it horizontally, and he got closer and closer to the Hu Qi who turned around to fight. He roared, and the ring knife in his hand swung a dazzling arc.
"clang!"
