Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 86
The more southeast you walk, the more lush and green the Greater Khingan Mountains will become.

It has been three months since Zhang Qiqi came to this world until now.

Spring is about to begin in a blink of an eye, but because it is located in the north, spring here comes later than other regions with suitable temperatures.

There was no accident on the way to Donghu, but the time was a little long.

It took them almost 400 days to walk a distance of more than 20 miles.

On average, they only walked twenty or thirty miles a day.

This was mainly because the livestock had slowed down greatly. Otherwise, Zhang Qi and the others would only need six to seven days to march at full speed by relying on the outposts to explore the route.

Walking out of the Greater Khingan Mountains, Zhang Qi saw the vast plains of Yimapingchuan. The snow on the plains had smiled slightly, and black soil was exposed under the thin snow layer.

"It can be regarded as coming out!"

On the cross-country horse, Zhang Qi opened his arms and couldn't help cheering. Beside him, 25 armored and elite cavalry, followed by Hu Shui's cavalry and archer troops.

Driving in the woods is too uncomfortable, and the oppressive and flat space makes people uncomfortable. Although it is cold winter, Daxinganling is full of beautiful snow scenes, but it will inevitably make people bored after watching for a long time.

"Liu Chai!"

After cheering, Zhang Qi shouted loudly.

A fast horse from Hu Shui's department rushed out to Zhang Qi.

Turned over and got off the horse and landed on one knee: "Humble!"

"Go, arrange some people to let the herdsmen drive out the cattle and sheep. In addition, you personally lead people to find Donghu Royal Court."

Liu Chai arched his hands in front of his chest: "No!"

"One Wu went to meet the herdsmen, and the second Wu followed me!"

Liu Chai rode his horse around the Hushui Department and shouted, the one-five-two-five in his mouth was naturally the Ten-Rider Whistleblower who came with him.

A series of promises sounded in the army, and after a while, the eleven riders dispersed.

Zhang Qi glanced back: "Others get off their horses and take care of themselves!"

20 days, [-] miles, this speed is very slow, so Zhang Qi and his party are actually not too tired, but in order to avoid accidents, Zhang Qi still keeps everyone in the best condition at all times.

The sentries had already dispersed to explore the way, so Zhang Qi and the others got off their horses and found a place to repair.

Marching together with tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, there will naturally be no shortage of food. Even because there are too many cattle and sheep, they can drink milk every day until they vomit.

The herdsmen also truly experienced what luxury is. Drinking a pot of cow and goat milk is not a problem.

Of course, this is just a joke. The extra fresh milk, Zhang Qi took it into the world of riding and hacking. Whether it is for sale or made into cheese, it is a good choice.

After resting for about an hour or two, the herdsmen in the Greater Khingan Mountains hadn't come out yet. A few cavalry sentries came running from a distance, but behind them, there were hundreds of cavalry chasing them.

"Get on the horse! Prepare for battle!"

As an authentic prairie man, Hu Shui was the first to notice the situation. He threw the water bag in his hand, buckled his helmet instantly and let out a loud roar. Everyone got on the horses beside them and stood by with their bows.

Zhang Qi also got on his cross-country horse, surrounded by NPC soldiers, Hu Er and more than a dozen female soldiers.

The Baiqi who were chasing Youshao stopped more than a hundred meters away from Zhang Qi and the others, and several of them returned to the army formation.

"Your Majesty, we have found the location, but it's too close, and the Marquis is trapped."

There were only three people who came back from the sentry, including Liu Chai, there were three people who did not return.

Zhang Qi hummed, and looked at the figure opposite with sharp eyes.

"Go, tell them we're here to give gifts!"

Said to Youshao beside him, Youshao was obviously stunned for a moment, and then bowed his hands and agreed.

He had just been chased back, and now he was sent out like a duck. The sentry was in a complicated mood, but there was no hatred in his heart. The soldiers had firm belief in Zhang Qi, and they were not afraid of going to the pasture of the gods after death. is longing for.

He pulled out the scimitar from his waist, raised it over his head, shook it, and then dropped it. The whistle made the horse move forward cautiously while maintaining a pacing posture.

"Dear Donghu warriors, my master asked me to pass on a message that I came to your territory this time to present a gift to the great Donghu king!"

Youshao's words made the people on Donghu's side whisper to each other. A man with a bird feather decoration on his felt hat raised his hand, and the crowd fell silent.

He didn't go forward, but shouted in the formation.

"Since they are here to offer gifts, why are there weapons around them! Also, what's the purpose of those people from before sneaking around our department?!"

Whistleblower is at a loss for words, he is just a spy, and he can't organize too many languages.

Arching his hands, Youshao said 'wait a moment', and rode back to Zhang Qi's side.

After quickly reporting the content of the conversation to Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi hummed and waved him to go down: "Well, I see, go down first, and I will reward you later."

"Hu Shui, you guys stay where you are and support at any time, Hu Er, come forward with me."

Zhang Qi clamped the horse's belly, and the off-road horse paced forward spiritually. Hu Er, who was already in armor, followed behind Zhang Qi without saying a word.

The two riders stepped forward and stopped about ten meters away.

Zhang Qi shouted loudly: "If you dare to ask, it's the direct line of Xianbei! The warriors from the grassland have come to seek refuge!"

Speaking of the Hun language, Zhang Qi is no stranger, and the memory in his mind has already made him master the language.

The reason why it is said that it is the language of the Xiongnu is naturally because the Huns are in charge of the grassland at this moment. If it were changed to a hundred years ago, the language that Zhang Qi speaks now would be called Huyu.

Looking at the armor on Zhang Qi and Hu Er, greed appeared in the eyes of the man wearing the bird feather felt hat, but this greed was fleeting.

The Donghu people are not like the Xiongnu. They have good smelting technology, pottery making technology, and even textile technology. These are almost absorbed by the friction with various Chinese ministries for hundreds of years.

Although lonely now, a starved camel is bigger than a horse, so for these Donghu people whose ancestors were rich, armor is not as important as Zhang Qi and others.

Today, there are only two Donghu people left, which cannot stand the toss, and although both belong to the Huns under the rule of the Xiongnu and are collectively called the Donghu tribe, they are actually counted as two factions.

The one located at the northern foot of Daxingan Mountains is called Xianbei, and the one located at the southern foot is called Wuhuan.

The bird feather felt hat looked at Zhang Qi for a long time, and then said: "Take refuge? The Xiongnu Shanyu is shining like the scorching sun on the grassland now, how can you talk about taking refuge!"

"Clarify the purpose of coming, otherwise, I will let you taste the bravery of Xianbei warriors!"

The toba felt hat illuminated the scimitar in his hand. Compared with the Xiongnu's riding and shooting, the Donghu people were better at sudden riding and hand-to-hand combat.

Zhang Qi held down Hu Er, who was about to move, and laughed loudly: "Shan Yu Weishi is indeed fierce, but I looted all the tribes of King Zuo Xian, and the huge grassland can't accommodate me, so I have to rely on the real people of the grassland." overlord!"

Just at this time, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep came out of the forest mighty and mighty, and the sound of mooing was endless.

Zhang Qi turned around and pointed: "This! This is my gift to King Donghu, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep from King Zuoxian's tribe!"
