At dusk, the sky was gloomy, and the cold wind was blowing. In the bitter cold wind, a group of soldiers and horses were trampling on the snow on the ground, rushing towards a small village in front of them.

Shu Chitai pushed up the thick leather cap, so that he could see more clearly.

He looked fiercely, and looked back. Thousands of horses behind him were like wolves and tigers. During the gallop, the earth trembled, and a sneer appeared on the lips of Shuchitai. handle.

He knew that soon, his knife would be covered with blood, and countless heads would be separated because of it.

In the Battle of Qiufengyuan, the Qin army suffered a crushing defeat. Shuchitai was able to escape under the pursuit of the northwest cavalry with great pains. After counting the soldiers and horses, he lost more than half of the two thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and only a thousand soldiers remained. Yu people.

For Shuchitai, who was not a big clan at all, the loss of nearly a thousand cavalry in the First World War was almost fatal to his tribe. The entire tribe had only a few thousand warriors who were good at fighting, and thousands of people were killed and injured at once. Moreover, even the war horses were hard to find, the loss was self-evident.

People are the treasure of the tribe, but those war horses are also an important wealth of the tribe. The brave warrior died, and the vigorous horse was scattered.

After the war, Shu Chitai returned to Wuping Mansion and stationed outside the city. Thinking of An Lei's withdrawal halfway, causing such a heavy loss to the tribe, Shu Chitai wished to return to the grassland immediately, and use all his tribe members to kill An Lei's tribe , to fight to the death, so as to vent the anger in my heart.

But before returning to the grassland, he must obtain the consent of the patriarch of the clan, and he must also obtain the due rewards and pensions from the Qin Emperor.

Although Qiufengyuan was defeated, it was not because the barbarian cavalry were ineffective in fighting, but because Feng Polu led the troops, and the Anlei tribe fled. For Shuchitai, he had done his best and did not feel that he should bear any responsibility for the defeat. , On the contrary, it is a loss of people and horses, Qin should give generous pensions and rewards.

It's just that the rewards and pensions were not allocated, but the patriarch of the clan was killed and hung on a bamboo pole outside the city. One can imagine the resentment in Shuchitai's heart, he didn't care who killed the patriarch, As long as he knew that the team leader died at the hands of the Qin people, he immediately organized the barbarian army and launched a surprise attack on the Hexi army stationed outside the city.

In fact, Shuchitai was similar to what Dingwu thought at the beginning. Although he caught the Hexi Army by surprise when they were not ready, Shuchitai didn't think that he could defeat the Hexi Army in one battle. A fight of comparable strength, but the result was beyond his expectations. The Hexi Army was defeated in the first battle, with 7000 troops, almost the entire army was wiped out.

Afterwards, Shuchi Terrace also thought about taking advantage of the situation to take down Wuping Mansion, but in the end, it was powerless. When the barbarian reinforcements came in large numbers, Tushi Khan commanded the whole army, and tens of thousands of soldiers attacked Wuping Mansion, but they still got nothing. However, hundreds of people were killed or injured under Tai, and he knew that if the fight continued, the cavalry of the tribe would probably be reimbursed in the Central Plains. Fortunately, he got a good post to go out to plunder by drawing lots, so Shuchitai led his cavalry to cross the land of Hexi loot.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were divided into several groups. Shuchitai knew that all the villages and towns near Wuping Fucheng had been looted, and the people had fled in large numbers. There was nothing to be looted, so he directly led his cavalry and marched westward, looting on the way After visiting a few small villages, the gains were meager, and finally found a relatively large village here, so he rushed here with thousands of riders.

The barbarian cavalry rushed up a hillside following the Shuchi Terrace, and looked down from a high position not far away, and saw that there was indeed a town not far from the hillside.

The city walls of this town are piled up with rammed earth, but the height of two people forms a square town. The roads in the town are criss-crossed and there are many houses, but the streets are very narrow. Shrouded in a piece of snow, it seems to be covered with a white veil.

"That's it." Shuchitai looked at the town at the bottom of the mountain, and suddenly became excited. Look at this town, there are at least seven or eight hundred households, and you can see that there are many deep houses and large courtyards. There is a lot of money and food. Villages, there are only dozens of families in a village, even if they are all robbed, it is still not enough for more than a thousand people to fill their teeth. At this time, they finally saw this piece of fat, and the barbarian cavalry all showed ferocious faces. Se, clenched the saber in his hand, waited for Shuchitai's order, and rushed over immediately.

Shu Chitai drew out his saber, and was about to give an order, when he suddenly thought of something, frowned, looked around, and asked, "Did you find anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." A person beside him said, "Let's kill them."

Shu Chitai shook his head: "Look, why is there no sound in such a big place? And... there seems to be no one on the street...!"

After hearing the words, the people nearby realized that the town was really like this, everything was quiet and lifeless, not to mention people, not even a dog was seen.

"Could it be that they all ran away?" One person was discouraged: "We finally found this place, how did they know that they ran so fast?"

For the barbarians, it is not uncommon for the villages to be empty, without humans or animals. People in countless villages have fled because of the barbarians' rampage. Many villages have been deserted. They have also seen many times Such a village didn't care much, but after finally encountering such a piece of fat, the people in the town seemed to have fled, which greatly disappointed the barbarian soldiers.

"Hey, there's cooking smoke!" A cavalryman raised his finger, "There are people in the town."

He was right, only saw smoke coming from the roofs of several houses in the town, and there seemed to be people walking around in a few streets.

Shuchitai heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "In this cold weather, they are all hiding in the house, not daring to come out, hahaha, the Qin people are fragile, and when the weather is cold, they can't bear it." He ordered: "You lead 200 people around the town from the left side to block the city gate over there, and you, also lead 200 people around to the right side, and I will personally rush in from the main gate."

"What about the back door?" Someone asked immediately.

Shuchitai laughed and said, "Leave a door for them. If they go out from there, let's let them run for a while, and then chase after the prey from behind. Wouldn't that be fun?"

The people around burst into laughter, Shuchitai waved his hand, and the barbarian cavalry rushed down the mountain like three sharp arrows, splitting into three directions, at an extremely fast speed.

Shuchitai took the lead and led the remaining hundreds of horses towards the main gate. In just a moment, they were already outside the city gate, but the city gate in front of them was really cold and dilapidated, and there was a big hole in the lower corner. The cavalry rushed forward and easily opened the dilapidated city gate. In such a town, there were few soldiers guarding it. The barbarians were so happy that they rushed in and rushed into the street in an instant.

Shu Chitai commanded with a knife: "You guard the main gate, don't let anyone come out, children, listen carefully, kill all the men, I will kill the too old and too young, don't kill the beautiful women , stay here and take it back, as long as it is edible, take it away with me, and the money you robbed is all yours, and when you leave, burn this place up with a fire." He shouted and counted The hundred cavalry didn't hesitate any longer, scattered in all directions, and rushed to all parts of the town.

They are very familiar with looting, burning and killing, and they are extremely skilled. Hundreds of cavalry, in groups of six or seven, are scattered all over the city. It was whizzing by.

Shuchitai led dozens of cavalrymen and flew all the way to the center of the town. He thought that after the cavalry rushed into the town, the whole town would soon be boiling with crying and screaming, but the fact was beyond his expectation , the town only has the sound of horseshoes and smashing, but there is no sound of screams and wailing. He was wondering, but he heard a muffled groan coming from beside him, and then he heard a sound of exclamation. He turned his head and looked, But he saw a barbarian cavalry not far behind him had fallen off his horse, and the cavalry around him seemed very panicked.

Shu Chitai frowned, but he had already seen that the soldier's neck was pierced by an arrow, and he was actually shot through the neck.

Seeing this, Shuchitai tightened his hand holding the knife, held the reins of the horse in the other hand, and turned around in a circle, only to see that there were houses all around, and it was pitch black in the house, but he couldn't see it for a while. It is not known where this arrow came from.

Then he thought to himself, this is just an ordinary town, where did the enemy come from? Could it be that one of his own people shot arrows indiscriminately and accidentally injured his companions, he was annoyed and shouted loudly: "Who shot the arrow?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "poof", and another cavalryman next to him was shot by an arrow. When he was surprised, he heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh". Not good, already noticed that the arrows were shot from the nearby houses, and felt annoyed in his heart, wondering if the people in this town had already prepared and set up an ambush to fight the barbarian cavalry?

At this moment, they heard screams coming from everywhere, and Shuchitai yelled angrily: "Kill them all, leave no one behind, kill them all first, and then take the things."

While he was shouting, cold arrows were still shot from both sides. Although the barbarian cavalry were flustered, but fortunately they all had combat experience, they shouted and rushed towards the houses on both sides.

Shuchi Terrace had also rushed towards a house, and an arrow was shot from there, Shuchi Terrace flashed nimbly, and rushed to the door, with a neigh, the horse's hooves trampled on the door, and there was a "boom", and the house The door was kicked open immediately, Shuchitai didn't hesitate at all, rushed into the room, saw a shadow in the corner of his eyes, without saying a word, swung his knife and slashed across.

The shadow was also nimble, and dodged it, and then a spear was pierced towards Shuchitai. Shuchitai sneered, and instead of dodging, he grabbed it with one hand, and even stabbed the spear Grab it, and in the dimness, I saw a black figure holding a spear wearing armor and a helmet, obviously not an ordinary person.

Shuchitai's heart was chilled, and he wondered if there were soldiers ambushing in this town, but the Qin army was besieged in Wuping Fucheng, where did the Qin soldiers come from in this small town?

Even though he thought so, his hands were not slow, he swung his knife and cut the spear in two, then he turned his sword and slashed at the soldier, the soldier's spear was cut in two, but he was very agile Throwing the remaining half of the gun shaft to the front door of the Shuchitai, Shuchitai could only swing the knife to open the gun shaft, and then tried to draw the knife, but the soldier rolled on the spot and quickly dodged into a small room next to him .

The voices outside came one after another, and the shouts of killing had come in, and there were voices from all directions. Shuchitai knew that there must be an ambush in this town, and he couldn't figure out who these soldiers were for a while, but he wanted to catch one first. I figured it out, saw the soldier dodging into the nearby hut, without hesitation, urged the horse to rush into the hut, the room was very narrow and dark, but the inside was empty, there was no trace of the soldier, so I glanced at it , only to find that the window was open, and the soldier apparently ran out from the window.

Angry and annoyed, he turned his horse's head and went out. When he got to the street, he saw that there were already a dozen dead bodies lying on the street, almost all of them had been killed by arrows, and many barbarian soldiers had rushed into the surrounding houses. Among them, the sound of fighting came from inside the house.

"Grandma, you've been ambushed." A cavalryman happened to pass by Shuchitai, and said angrily, "These damned Qin people dare to ambush us here, and we will kill them all. We ...!" His words came to an abrupt end, but Shuchitai saw a sharp arrow go into the back of his neck and obliquely into his throat, and the cavalryman swayed on the horse's back. , and then fell headfirst from the horse.

Shuchitai is also a warrior who can ride on the grassland and is good at shooting. From the direction where the sharp arrow shoots, he has already judged where the arrow came from. When he looked up, he saw a figure on the roof of a house opposite. Disappeared like a ghost, seeing this situation, he was terrified, looked around, but found that there were many black shadows emerging from the roofs, they were all bows and arrows, shooting at anyone they saw.

"The roof, on the roof." Shuchitai yelled, already took the bow and arrow in his hand, bent the bow and set the arrow, aimed at a person on the roof, and shot at him immediately, his arrow was not weak, it hit the shadow in the middle, The black figure struggled twice on the roof, and finally rolled down from the top, Shuchitai slapped the horse over, and saw the man fell to the ground, motionless, but the armor on his body was clear.

Although it was already dark, Shuchitai recognized the man's armor just by glancing at the man, his face changed suddenly, his eyes were frightened, and he said loudly: "Go quickly, Get out of the town, get out of the town quickly...!" Turning the horse's head, he rushed towards the city gate.
