Lord Yuan

Chapter 138 Rescue the Han People
As the Xianbei people became more and more fanatical, the faces of the Han people who were tied up became more and more ugly. They understood that if they fell into the hands of this group of Xianbei people in this frontier place far away from the Han territory, they would never be able to return to their hometown for eternity. Working for them all your life is considered a good destination, and it is common for them to complain and bury them where they are.

"God will kill me!"

The Han people rebuked angrily, and many of them were crying and shouting loudly.

This increasingly miserable sound actually caused the Xianbei people to laugh wildly with pride. These Han people, who could already be regarded as trophies, were much more important to them than those belongings.

Yuan Shao and others heard the Han people crying not far away, and their hearts twitched, and a strange emotion condensed from the bottom of their hearts. These were the people of the Han Dynasty. They were working normally at home, but they never thought that they would face the situation. The indestructible frontier soldiers, these aliens who descended from the sky were like demons, baring their teeth and claws.

"It's easier to attack the camp. You just need to bring some torches, drive the horses to gallop, and ignite the tents and silk materials along the way. With the nature of this group of Xianbei people, they will definitely cause them to chaos." Xu Dajing said. road.

This was also planned from the beginning.

It's just that these Han people who were robbed at an unknown time disrupted their position.

"We can only wait for now. When these people get tired of pretending to be crazy, go and take a rest while they are still dreaming, with the main goal of rescuing them. If something happens on the way, you must put your own safety first. No matter what, I can't risk my own life to save them." Yuan Shao looked at the group of foreigners who were dancing with pride and thought secretly in his heart.

Xu Da was afraid that some of his subordinates were soft-hearted, so he added: "I can kill a few more while I'm alive. If I die to save them, it's not worth it. Do you hear me?"

Tian Zhao and others responded in a low voice: "No!"

The Han people were miserable, and the foreigners were singing and dancing, while Yuan Shao and others kept their spirits high. Several people alternated between them, carefully observing the changes on the opposite side, and immediately took action at the slightest sign of trouble.

Gradually, as night falls, the north wind outside sweeps across, blowing on the body more and more bitingly. Yuan Shao strokes the underwear that Li Wan'er knitted for himself and smiles knowingly. He thinks that he will soon start to build a career and kill these people. The majesty of the foreigners made his blood boil. This was an instinctual throbbing in his body.

Yan Liang hid aside and was eager to try. He wanted to take out his big knife right now and stab the shirtless man across from him who was dancing the most happily. It seemed that this man was not pleasing to the eye. Such a cold day did not give the cold winter any dignity.

Although Xu Da and others were recuperating, in fact everyone was tense and took a little time to observe the movements in the tribe.

In this late night when the north wind was howling, Yuan Shao and the others did not know how much time had passed. They only knew that the voices in the tribe on the opposite side gradually became lower and softer with the carnival. The Xianbei people guarding the periphery also chose to do so at this moment. In order to allocate half of the people to rest, the purpose of their guarding was just to be able to detect the movements of the wild beasts outside the wall in time, lest they be thrown directly on their faces.

As for Yuan Shao and others, no matter who the Xianbei people were, they would never have thought that there were more than a dozen cavalry squatting outside the huge stone not far from the tribe. This was absolutely impossible in their view.

This kind of thing can only be done to those stupid Han people. There is no such thing as prey attacking hunters in turn.

It was another cold winter night, and Ke Qianduo, who was reveling in the party, was tired of dancing. He shook his body and put on the coat specially knitted for him by the tribe. The warmth instantly adhered to his skin. He glanced at the dark night outside the tribe. Nothing.

"Go and rest. In such a cold weather, those wild beasts also need to sleep." He called the patrolling tribesmen in the tribe and whispered a few words into their ears. Then he spoke out to disperse the many tribesmen gathered in front of the bonfire. Go back to your tent and have a good rest.

After receiving the instructions from the clan leader, the Xianbei people showed a trace of fanatical joy on their faces. No matter men, women, old or young, they all stood up and returned to their tents to rest with joy.

"Those damn aliens have all gone to rest." Tian Zhao looked far away and immediately told Yuan Shaoxuda the news.

Yuan Shao's spirit was shocked, and he finally waited.

"Get ready for action!" Xu Da woke up his subordinates who were in a state of sleep.

Yuan Shao turned aside to observe the group of Han people and kept the terrain in mind.

"Sir, have you seen the two Xianbei people on the sentry tower high up there?"

Xu Da looked up and saw the two fully armed sentries taking a nap. They stood up from time to time to deal with the work and then sat down to rest. He understood what Yuan Shao meant and nodded immediately: "Leave those two to me. Well, I have many ways to deal with these people."

After saying that, he took out a short sword from his body, called a cavalryman, and moved closer to the edge of the boulder.

Yuan Shao and others' hearts were in their throats. Whether the leader could succeed or not determined the only prerequisite for rescuing the Han people. Only by solving the sentry first could they advance inward little by little.

Xu Da knew this very well. His steps were light and almost made no sound. The sentry tower was three or four meters high. It was made directly from the standing tree trunks by the Xianbei people, and then a ladder was built from below to facilitate climbing. .

Taking advantage of the situation, he reached the bottom of the sentry tower. Facing the wooden ladder, Xu Da secretly thought, "Trouble." Wanting to step on it without making any noise is purely whimsical. Just when Xu Da hesitated, his companions who followed him also groped. Come here.

The two looked at each other, and the companion made a gesture, pointed to the ground in the distance, and picked up a stone from the ground to signal.

Not long after, Xu Da was ready, with both hands on the ladder, the short dagger in his mouth, a cold glow emanating from it.

Nodding, his companion used all his strength to throw the stone directly onto the tree trunk to the west, making a crisp sound immediately.

In the silence of the night, the slightest movement will be infinitely magnified. The two sentinels above the head immediately returned to their senses, hurriedly stood up and walked back and forth on the tower, observing the movement over there. Xu Da was so close that he didn't notice it at all.

Yuan Shao looked at the sentinel above Xu Da's head not far away, and at the same time felt nervous for Xu Da's safety. The three of them only needed to raise or lower their heads, and they would almost come face to face with each other.

Xu Da listened to the sentry above communicating and didn't know what they were talking about. Taking this opportunity, his hidden companion threw another stone in the opposite direction. There was another crisp sound immediately. The two sentries turned around with solemn expressions. Go and observe what's going on over there.

Holding his breath, Xu Da flew up and immediately climbed up to the top of the sentry tower with his feet together. The dagger in his mouth fell off and fell into his hand. Before the two sentries could make any sound, the dagger slit his throat and cut it. At the same time, blood flew out like a faucet.

The sentry who had not yet waited for a reaction was wearing armor and a hat to keep out the cold. Only his neck was unprotected. When Xu Da's dagger passed by, the sentry felt an itching in his throat. He was about to wave the weapon in his hand. At the same time, when he exclaimed loudly, he saw a stream of blood spurting out from the gap in his clothes.

"Woo!" He could only make an extremely weak sound through his tongue, which was pitiful compared to the movement caused by any stone.

Xu Da looked happy, and in order to prevent the two of them from making any noise, he stabbed their Mingmen back and forth with the dagger.

He didn't know what pity was. Looking at the pitiful Han man, the movements of his hands involuntarily deepened.Until there was no movement between the two of them, Xu Da quietly bit his dagger and waved to Yuan Shao and others in the distance with his hand.

Seeing that the biggest obstacle to this operation was solved, the stone in Yuan Shao's heart also fell to the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief and had no time to think too much. He immediately led the remaining few people to explore inside the wall at the edge of the tribe.

Perhaps it was because it was late at night and the weather was freezing. There were originally four sentry towers in this tribe, but Ke Qian had to withdraw three more. The reason was that in such a cold weather, it was better to let them The clansmen are resting. With the bravery of the clansmen, they can just look around in groups of two, and sound the alarm in time at the slightest movement.

Yuan Shao looked at the sentry tower right next to the heads of the Han people. His heart immediately tightened and he motioned with one hand to wait.

He waited quietly for a long time, but saw no movement on the sentry tower.

Xu Da had already come down from the sentry tower, while his companions were hunched over to observe changes in the surrounding environment in a timely manner.

"I'll go take a look." Xu Da took the lead, bypassing the Han people's sight and groping forward from the other side.

When Xu Da climbed up the sentry tower again, he saw no one, so he immediately stood on it and waved.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, took a breath of fresh air, adjusted his extremely tense mind, and said no more.

He was the first to crawl forward and get closer to the group of Han people.

The sound of friction on the ground made a Han man who was dazed by the cold suddenly open his eyes. When he saw Yuan Shao close at hand, he almost let out a loud noise in fear. Yuan Shao had quick eyes and quick hands and immediately rushed forward. Covering his mouth, under his extremely frightened and restless eyes, Yuan Shao hissed and explained softly in his ear: "I am from the Yousima Camp of the Northern Army. I am here to rescue you. Don't make any noise!"

Fearing that the other party was afraid of making a sound, Yuan Shao reminded him again: "Don't make a sound!"

Perhaps because Yuan Shao spoke Chinese and his face was obviously Han Chinese, his clenched white lips gradually regained some color at this time, and his eyes moved back and forth nervously.

Seeing that he was very cooperative, Yuan Shao pulled out the dagger from his waist and cut off the rope on his body.

The rest of the companions showed their skills and untied the ropes from dozens of people in succession.

Suddenly, someone seemed to be overly nervous, and a cry suddenly aroused, causing an immediate reverberation in the silent night.

Yuan Shao secretly said something bad, and when he saw the crowds of people moving around in the tent, he suddenly had a plan on his mind.

Immediately, he pretended to tie the partitioning rope to his body, and moved it to the ground. At the same time, he kept whispering urgently: "Quick! Quick!"

The companions who came with him reacted quickly. They immediately picked up the rope and tied it on themselves. They didn't care whether it was tied tightly or not, and they just fell headfirst to the ground.

The Xianbei man who was awakened by the sound in the tent walked out with sleepy eyes and cursed. His eyes scanned the area in front of him without much energy. When he saw a little Han girl crying, his face darkened immediately and he pointed. He cursed at the pale little girl and made a beheading motion with his hands. Seeing that the little girl was shivering and not daring to make any more noise, he turned his gaze away with satisfaction.

As for the dozen or so people among the bunch of Han people who were tied up, he didn't realize that he didn't have the time to count them one by one.

Looking at the sentry tower over there, he was about to curse. The companion who had thrown the stone before had an idea and immediately stood up and looked this way.

The strong man was stunned for a moment, squinting his eyes for a long time, then suddenly smiled and nodded, said a few words that seemed to be compliments, and went back to the tent to rest again.

Yuan Shao never raised his head, nor could he notice the face of this strong man. In such a tense situation, with the bloodthirsty Xianbei people on his face, he couldn't care about anything else. Fortunately, this man looked stupidly Looking at the sentry tower, he didn't find anything unusual and went back. Yuan Shao immediately gave a thumbs up to his companions on the sentry tower.

He naturally understood why. In this dark night, the sentry tower was a full 500 meters away from the tent. Even if a person with excellent eyesight looked intently, he would probably only be able to see the silhouette of a human being. As for the face, What it looks like is another matter.

Yuan Shao held back his breath and hissed: "Don't move yet, wait for these people to sleep for a while."

The companions who were about to continue rescuing the Han people immediately stopped what they were doing.

Another half-quarter of an hour passed, and Yuan Shao thought he must have fallen asleep, but fearing something unexpected would happen, he deliberately got close to the tent, and his expression immediately softened when he heard the snoring coming from inside.

When they untied all the Han ropes, under the guidance of Xu Da, they all bowed their bodies and lowered themselves as low as possible to prevent themselves from appearing in the shadow of the tent. At the same time, in order to avoid sudden movements in the crowd, Yuan Shao He deliberately came to a few children and hugged them under his elbows. The remaining companions also took out these children one by one.

"Chief, you and Tian Zhao will take these people some distance away first. It is estimated that there is a distance of four or five miles, then let Tian Zhao continue to lead them to the city. Our plan will continue to be implemented." Yuan Shao called over. Xu Da, please explain.

Xu Da looked solemn, glanced at the silent Xianbei tribe, and immediately shook his head and said: "This move has rescued so many Han people, which is already a great achievement. It is better to take this opportunity to rush back without taking this risk. "

Seeing the relieved expressions of these Han people who were relieved, he knew in his heart that the current crisis was far from over.

This place is still more than a hundred miles away from the border fortress. Even if they are riding horses, it will take about an hour, not to mention that their legs and feet are not flexible and they are shivering from the cold. How can they move quickly? .

Yuan Shao naturally took Xu Da's worries into consideration. He sighed and said, "That's why I have to continue to take action. The more I make them chaotic and overwhelmed, the more I can buy them enough time."

There are still an hour or two before dawn. If the group of Xianbei people get up early and find that these Han people are missing, they will definitely mobilize all their strength to go out to search. The Han people are no better than the Xianbei people. They all know how to drive horses. They can see everything here. How could it outrun a four-legged horse on the flat ground?

Xu Da felt annoyed and said, "I was negligent. What Chang Shi said was that I almost missed Chang Shi's plan. I really deserve to die."

Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "Go back quickly. After all, our number is too small. Even if it causes turmoil, it can only last for a short while."

Xu Da nodded quickly and did not dare to neglect: "Then I will set off quickly. Chang Shi must pay attention to safety. If anything happens, flee immediately. Don't fight to the death."

"That's natural, go ahead."
