Chapter 5 The head of the human body is the invincible name of Taima
The small number of Chiloudan tribesmen mixed in with the slave cavalry could not control so many people. No matter how much they drew their swords and slashed at them, they could not stop them from fleeing in fear.
Adhering to his quick-response style, Linghu Feng immediately took off the simple shield Cao Fei had made for him from the side of the saddle, leaned down on the horse, covered himself with the shield, and without saying a word of greeting, he immediately urged his mount to turn around, avoiding the direct route. Instead of turning back, he ran wildly to the side.
At this time, most of the pursuers of Gan Gan are on the way here, so you must not fall into a trap, you have to make a detour.
Cao Fei galloped after him and rushed towards Xin You. Fu Qiao shouted: "Aren't you leaving yet?" Slave, whether you live or die, you can only leave it to fate.
The able-bodied slaves were all kept by the red slaves, while all the old, weak, sick and disabled were sent out. Some of the thousands of slaves fled eastward and some fled south. People shouted and horses barked, making a mess, and sometimes two horses collided. From time to time, some slaves were thrown to the ground by their mounts, and some slaves fell to the ground or were trampled by horse hooves. They either had their legs broken or their arms were broken, or their chests were sunken and they vomited blood.
Linghu Feng ignored him and just kept his head down and whipped the horse to trample him quickly. He was riding the same snow-like dragon. This Western-style horse was eight feet tall at the shoulders and had long legs. It was really like a dragon when it galloped. Cao Fei and others The man's horse was much worse, so he reluctantly followed. Xin You wanted to avoid those Hu Nu who fell off the horse, but he couldn't help himself, so he had to let the horse run on its own.
After galloping away from the main area where the slave riders were chaotic, the surrounding area was much clearer, and a few people accelerated their horses.
The main force of Cadre He was attracted by the slave cavalry. In order to grab more "trophies", most of them chased the slave cavalry. Xiao Sui and He Dehu's sons who led the team were unable to restrain them.
Linghu Feng and others were about to escape the danger zone quietly. At this time, more than ten people from the He cadres rushed towards from the side. They saw a few people's buns at a glance and found Linghu Feng's mount Shenjun. They immediately Knowing that this person must be the one they wanted to catch, they abandoned the four or five slave riders who were chasing them, shouted and surrounded them. Xin You looked around and saw them with pigtails, dirty clothes and long boots, scolding the riders. The bow has an extremely fierce appearance.
Cao Fei didn't panic at all.
Wearing two pieces of armor, relying on the strength of the armor, he deceived the enemy who did not have a strong bow. He put away his wooden spear and did not avoid the enemy's arrow. Faced with the sparse enemy arrows, Xin You tried his best to stay calm and opened his bow to shoot arrows. At first, the arrows were soft. As he regained the conditioned reflex of his muscles, the arrows fell more accurately, and he hit two enemy riders one after another. Fu Qiao didn't know how to shoot arrows, so he just covered his face with his sleeves, as if he could block the enemy's arrows. Linghu Feng refused to put down his shield and just charged forward.
Seeing that they could not shoot through Cao Fei's armor, two enemy cavalry relied on their bravery and came to fight him in close combat with their swords. Cao Fei held a bow in his left hand, picked up a wooden spear in his right hand, tucked it under his arm, and fought with the two cavalry. They met each other, and the horses passed by each other. In just one moment, they knocked down the two horses.
Among the lightning and flint, Xin You could see clearly: it was Cao Fei who hit one person first with the tip of his spear. The wooden spear was not strong enough and broke into two pieces under the impact. Cao Fei then slid the hand on the handle to the broken head and swept it horizontally upwards. , swung away the long knife slashed by another enemy rider who was approaching, and stabbed the rider from the side, hitting the shoulder blade of the rider, and blood spurted out of Lao Gao. Although the opponent was a tribesman who had not undergone strict training, Cao Fei and This battle between the two riders was clean and neat, but it was also extraordinary.
Xin You thought to himself: "No wonder Linghu Feng relied on him so much." No wonder he was not only unafraid just now, but also full of pride.
The remaining He cadres and farmers fled in all directions. Cao Fei dropped the broken spear and said, "They must have sent people, let's leave quickly." It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Once surrounded, even ants can kill a large number of people. Xiang, so Cao Fei only said "three or twenty thieves". If there were more, even if he was as brave as him, he would not be able to keep Linghu Feng safe.
After Linghu Feng's horse, everyone galloped quickly.
On the way, they met several more people from Gan Gan. However, because Linghu Feng saw the opportunity quickly, a few people escaped early and took a detour, so they did not encounter a large number of Gan Gan's people. Those who met were all killed by Cao Cao. Fei Sha San.
After coming out of the oasis, I walked slowly for a long time. Now I went around a small circle. It only took less than an hour to run back. I saw green in the distance. Linghu Feng didn't rush in. After all, he didn't know Chinu. How about the victory or defeat? Ask Cao Fei to go check it out first.
Cao Fei quickly turned back and said: "Chilou Dan has defeated He Gangan and is looting and looting."
The plan was successful, but Linghu Feng was not happy. He frowned and said, "Loot and plunder?"
Xin You also felt that what Chi Lou Dan did was inappropriate, and thought to himself: "At this time, we should rush out of the island to attack the cavalry and animal husbandry outside He Gan Officer, but why do we set up an army to plunder them?"
Linghu Feng said: "Lead the way from the front."
Cao Fei led them in front, and they headed to Cadre He in Zhouli. Xin You followed for a while, but found that Fu Qiao was no longer around. She turned around and saw him holding his left arm with a grin on his face. It turned out that he had been hit by an arrow at some point. Xin You helped him cut off the arrow and bandaged it briefly.
Having just experienced a "life and death battle" and hearing that Chi Nu had accomplished great things, the heavy pressure suddenly relaxed. In this situation, people can't help but want to talk. Xin You, who has been taciturn for a long time, rarely made fun of Fu Qiao. Said: "Master's sleeves don't look very good. They can't stop the arrows of Officer He." Fu Qiao sighed in pain and said: "What I have experienced these days is beyond my dreams!"
Xin You was silent, so was he. The two of them caught up with Linghu Feng and Cao Fei.
When I was still far away from congratulating the cadre, I saw black smoke billowing. As several people approached, laughter, crying, screams, begging for mercy and other sounds were mixed together and poured into my ears; when they entered the tent area, the situation It was horrific, with deaths and injuries everywhere, and streams of blood.
Some of Chiloudan's tribesmen carried knives and rode their horses around the tent, while others entered the tent one by one in groups to search and plunder. Those who encountered resistance were killed and wounded on the spot. When they saw a slightly pretty woman, they dragged them away. They dragged along, paying no attention to the cries of the children. Some of them divided the spoils unevenly and fought among themselves. Some tents collapsed to the ground. Smoke from the extinguished fires was blown up by the wind, and no one put out the still-burning fires. It was shocking. Everywhere he looked, there were killed and wounded He cadres, men and women, and even children under the age of one month; women, children and the elderly were gathered together and put under supervision.
Cao Fei grabbed a person from Chi Lou Dan and asked where Tu Lian Chi Nu was. Stepping on the bloody water, he led Linghu Feng and others to look for him. After passing through most of the hellish camp, he arrived in front of a gorgeous tent. This is the large account where congratulatory cadres discuss matters.
The tent was opened, and dozens of corpses were strewn about inside and outside. Most of them were wearing leather armor, and they should be the guards of the big tent. The remaining ones were all old, wearing gold and silver, and they were supposed to be nobles from Hegan officials. Bald Lian Surrounded by seven or eight soldiers, Chinu stood with his arms folded. He was smiling as he watched two soldiers using daggers to cut off the head of a corpse. Blood splattered on the sleeves and half of the clothes of the two soldiers, and on their faces. .
Cao Fei glanced at the corpse with its head cut off and said, "Hey, isn't this He Dehu? He's dead now. Is he unwilling to surrender?" After all, it was once a great success, but it was destroyed in the blink of an eye. People die.
Xin You asked: "What did those two people do by cutting off his head? Are they hanging his head in public?"
"What are you showing to the public? He Dehu is the old enemy of the commander of the Tu Company, and the commander wants to make his head into a drinking vessel. Yes, the commander invited us to a banquet last time, but you didn't go because you were injured, so you didn't see him. Those drinking utensils were jet black and decorated with gold, and they were very luxurious. He even toasted me with those utensils." Cao Fei smacked his lips, as if he was thinking about it.
In his mind, he just briefly thought about the scene where Tulian Chinu brought the wine to Cao Fei with his head holding the wine, and Cao Fei drank it all in one gulp. Xin You was about to retch. He turned his face away and stopped looking at Chi Lou. The people of Dan tribe cut off the heads of He Dehu, thinking: "I have lived in the Huzhong these days, and I haven't seen any barbarism from them. I didn't expect to see this and hear about it today."
After killing an enemy, the custom of cutting off his head, peeling off his scalp, and sawing it off below the brow bone, and then using the remaining top of his head as a drinking vessel to show off to others is not exclusive to the Hu people, but is almost universal. All ethnic groups have experienced it, including the Tang people. However, with the strengthening of civilization, the Tang people have long abandoned it.
Linghu Feng asked Tulian Chinu: "Brother, why didn't you send fine cavalry to attack those who were chasing me after defeating He Gangan? I saw that there were no less than three thousand of them, and they were all strong. Brother, why don't you take advantage of the victory and attack them quickly?" , Iām afraid there will be future troubles!ā
Tulian Chinu laughed and said: "I have sent two thousand fine cavalry to lie down on the road they must pass when they come back. When I cut off the head of He Dehu, I will have people hold it to show it to disrupt their military morale. We will definitely win easily.ā
Linghu was overjoyed and wanted to ask Chinu to borrow troops. He flattered him and said, "Brother is very resourceful, but I worry too much."
As expected by Tulian Chinu, He Gangan's more than 3,000 cavalrymen, after capturing hundreds of slaves and returning, never expected that their lair would be captured by the Chiloudan tribe, and the leader of the tribe would also be killed. Already lacking the restraints of strict military discipline, this group of snakes was now leaderless. They soon lost their fighting spirit and stopped fighting the ambush troops of the Chiloudan tribe. Various petty commanders led their tribesmen to surrender one after another, and even more so Cleverly, he captured He Dehu's disciples first and presented them to his former rival.
In a difficult living environment, all goals are only survival, and everything else is nonsense. Some people in the Tang Dynasty thought that the Hu people were cunning and repetitive. This is the essence of the situation. How can they fulfill their loyalty if there are not enough warehouses? Moreover, Hu Mu did not In centralized politics, even if you surrender, it will not make any difference to the small leaders of various tribes. At most, it will just change to a large leader, which is better than being defeated and captured and becoming a slave.
There are also people who originally do not want to surrender, but winter is coming soon, and all the oases in the desert are owned. If you don't surrender, where can you go? Are you going to die of cold, hunger, and thirst in the desert? Are you going to the interior of Longzhou? Now you are in Longnei. Except for a few, the Six Barbarians were slaves of the Tang people. They were either cultivating land or grazing cattle for the Tang people. They were accustomed to freedom and were not willing to make such dependence.
Therefore, the Chilodan tribe achieved a complete victory with only a few casualties.
Tulian Chinu accepted the surrendered officers and people of He Gan. From then on, the two tribes merged into one, and He Gan no longer had the name, only Chi Loudan. He Dehu's disciples and immediate relatives, Tulian Chinu, Not even a single Chinu was left alive, all were killed, and another person was selected to take charge of He Dehu's direct cultivation.
The people of the Chiloudan tribe looted for two consecutive days and looted everything from Cadre He. This winter will be very difficult for Cadre He.
The other three smaller tribes on the Zhuye River successively sent people to give horses, alpacas, wealth, slaves and other gifts to Tulian Chinu to express their surrender.
He Dehu imagined that after conquering the Chilou Dan tribe, he would then capture these three smaller tribes and become the overlord of one party. His "ambitious ambitions were not fulfilled", but this vision was realized in the hands of Tulian Chinu.
accomplish.
Tulian Chinu, who had five tribes and dominated Zhuye Ze, was very ambitious. He stood on tiptoes, patted Linghu Feng on the shoulder, and said to him sincerely: "This time I can swallow He Gan and conquer three tribes, all because of you."
Your plan is effective! My little brother, once the winter is over, I will personally lead ten thousand cavalry to help you return the capital!"
Linghu Feng nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "When I ascend the throne, brother, everything north of the royal capital will be yours!"
That night, the drunken Tulian Chinu fell asleep, snoring mixed with talking in his sleep, and murmured: "When my messenger comes back, I will tie you up and give you to the King of the West!"
After calling twice, he added, "Everything north of the royal capital belongs to me. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it with my life." Jia Zhen's heart pounded and she asked, "Bu Da, what did you say?" Tulian Chinu said: "
Chapter completed!
