Han Dao world

Chapter 490 Wolf Riding Assault
Hagesan was distressed.

A heavy snowfall froze many livestock to death, ruining half a year of hard work.The remaining cattle and sheep cannot support him until next spring, and he must find a way to solve this problem.

At this time of year, he didn't need to worry too much.Once something like a snow disaster occurs, the commanders and junior commanders will organize looting.The men rode on horses, put on bows, drove cattle and sheep, and entered the Han territory southward.By plundering the Han territory, it is not difficult for them to grab food to tide over the difficulties, and they can also capture people as slaves.

Thinking of this, Hagersan glanced at the woman who was busy in front of the dilapidated tent, and sighed.

This woman was taken captive from Han, worked for three years, and gave birth to two children for him.Now that he has been hit by a disaster, in order to reduce consumption, he should kill her and rob a few young ones next year.But the reality is cruel. The commander-in-chief Fu Luohan was killed during the plunder last year. Tens of thousands of Xianbei knights were killed, and the rest became slaves of the Han people. Today's grassland has no leader, and it is impossible to organize large-scale operations.

Thinking of the battle last year, Hagersang, who survived by chance, shivered involuntarily.

There seemed to be a scene of Han army knights galloping horses before his eyes, and the chill was penetrating through his body.

In a trance, a feathered arrow rushed towards his face with a sharp whistle, piercing his throat instantly.

Hagesang suddenly realized that the Han army knights he saw did not come from painful memories, but cruel reality.I just don't understand how the knights of the Han army would appear here. This place is far away from Hansai, and even riding a horse would take several days.

Hagsang fell, blood gushing from his neck, melting the snow and freezing into ice again.

A fast horse passed him, then another.

Lu Bu dismounted, pulled out the arrow from Hagesang's neck, looked at it, shook off the flesh and blood on the arrow, and put it on the string again.

This Xianbei man was not armored, and the arrows had limited damage and could be used again.

"Spread out the search and kill all the adult men." Lu Bu said: "The scouts will continue to move forward to inquire about the news."

"Wait, keep two alive." Huang Yi rushed to the horse and said loudly: "This is just the edge. If we can determine the location of the main camp, we can save a lot of time."

"Listen to Chang Shi." Lu Bu added another order.

"Here." The knights suddenly agreed, dispersed their formation, and searched within a radius of several miles.The scouts rushed to further distances, inquired about news, and carried out vigilance.

Huang Yi rode his horse to the front of the tent. The woman was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground with muddy tears streaming from her eyes.

Huang Yi took a look, frowned slightly, and asked in Liangzhou dialect that he was not very fluent in, "Are you Han?"

The woman nodded repeatedly, and stammered while gesticulating: "I am...from Zhangye, and I was robbed...by Xianbei people."

Huang Yi got off his horse and took a look at the woman's hand.The woman's hands were rough, cracked, chilblained, and highly swollen. "Which county is Zhangye from, and in what year was it robbed?"

"Zhaowu County was robbed in February of the previous spring." The woman spoke Chinese fluently. "General... General, are you from Liangzhou?"

"Do you still remember who the prefect of Zhangye is?"

"I vaguely remember that the surname seems to be Li, and the name is Li... Li Ping, yes, it's Li Ping."

Huang Yi nodded.He checked the relevant records and knew that there was indeed a Xianbei invasion in the spring of the previous year, until Zhangye Junzhi, Li Ping, who acted as the prefect, was killed. "Can you ride a horse?"

"It will be a little bit."

"Find two horses yourself, bring enough food, and follow us. If you can keep up, we will take you back to Liangzhou. If you can't keep up, you can find a way by yourself and go south until you reach the frontier , someone will take you in.”

When the woman heard that she could go back to Liangzhou, she was overjoyed, she quickly lay down on the ground, kowtowed twice, got up and left in a hurry.

A knight brought captives, Huang Yi interrogated them a few words, and learned that more tribes were in the Junyi Valley to the west, so he ordered people to cut off the thumbs of the two captives, and left them to fend for themselves.All the food was taken away, all the livestock were killed, and the best meat was cut into pieces, put on the horse's back, and kept for roasting when camping at night.

They can even eat raw meat when necessary.

In just half an hour, Lu Bu and others left here, leaving a mess behind.

Two women on horseback followed closely behind.None of them took their children with them, and one even killed the child with her own hands.These Xianbei beards are not her children, but her shame.

Huang Yi walked side by side with Lu Bu, quickly reported the results of the interrogation, and pointed. "In the northwest direction, if you ride a horse for a day, it should be less than a hundred miles. There is a small tribe with about three hundred tribes. They are the defeated soldiers who entered the fortress with Fu Luohan last year."

Lu Bu nodded.More than [-] cavalry means [-] to [-] cavalry.If he fights in formation, he can win, but the casualties will be not small.If you want to reduce casualties, you must pay attention to concealment and surprise attacks.

"From now on, everyone must not disarm, and be ready to fight at any time." Lu Bu turned his head and said: "You have a good nose, pay attention to the smell in the wind."

"Here."

"What are those two women doing?" Lu Bu frowned when he saw the woman behind the line.

"They are all robbed Han people. If they can follow, they will follow. If they can't follow, they will go south by themselves. If they can save one, it is one." Huang Yi said: "If they can keep up, they can help cook at night to save the soldiers' energy. "

"Save the strength of the soldiers?" Lu Bu sneered. "These bastards can bear it when they see a woman? I'm afraid they won't be able to ride a horse or draw a bow tomorrow."

"It's a good thing to relax occasionally, just be careful. But I told them that Xianbei women are allowed to deal with them, and Han women are not allowed to use force, otherwise military law will be used. Marquis Wen, you can reiterate it when the time comes."

Lu Bu grinned happily. "Chang Shi, you don't look like a scholar at all."

"I'm not a scholar now, I'm a long history of Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu tapped Huang Yi's chest in satisfaction. "It would be great if all scholars could be like you. But then again, when I met you in Nanyang, you were not like this, haha."

Huang Yi was about to speak when a whistle came from ahead.Lu Bu immediately closed his mouth, stepped on the stirrups and stood up, raised the black veil to protect him, and looked into the distance.

Amidst the endless white snow, a team meanders forward. There are several large flags in front of the team. The logos on the flags cannot be seen clearly, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a cavalry team. The number is quite large, at least more than [-] people.

"Ready to fight!" Lu Bu waved his hand. "Horizontal attack, attack from head to tail."

"Here." The knights responded loudly and quickly changed their formation.

The two women who followed the team saw it and exchanged a look, both surprised and happy.Although the Han cavalry in front of them looked rough and looked like horse thieves, they moved quickly and were well equipped. They looked elite.

Follow them and you will be able to go home.

"General, we..."

"You find a place to hide." Lu Bu said: "You will come out after the battle is over." As he spoke, he accelerated his horse.

Without saying a word, the two women got off their horses and got into the snowdrift.
