Cao Thief

Chapter 460 Hexi Second Bomb ([-])
Night is coming.

Fog shrouded the Hexi Pasture, making everything blurry.

Liu Qing was riding on a rough horse, holding an iron spine spear, constantly urging the team to speed up.Behind him, a group of soldiers escorted hundreds of Hunu, marching slowly in the night.Seeing the sky getting darker and the vision getting blurred, Liu Qing couldn't help feeling a little anxious.As soon as he urged his mount, he rushed forward and shouted: "Send the order, and you must arrive at the Hongshui camp before Mao hour. If you delay the hour, everyone will be punished by military law."

"Hurry up, go faster!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were also anxious, and kept urging Hu Nu to speed up.

These Hunu were originally the Qianghu tribe near Lianbao.Since Cao Peng ordered the implementation of the household registration system in Lianbao, Jia Kui and Yin Feng began to attack those nomadic tribes.The tribes who obeyed the order and registered in the past honestly, everything was the same; but there were always some tribes who were unwilling to be annexed like this, and had fierce conflicts with the Han army.

According to the thinking of these tribes, as long as they become tough, the Han army would not dare to provoke them.

Unexpectedly, Jia Kui got Cao Peng's order, changed his previous gentle attitude, and showed unprecedented domineering.

By the time the foundation of Lianbao was completed, the Han army had fought more than [-] times with the nomadic tribes.

There were casualties on both sides, but in general, those small nomadic tribes were no match for the Han army, and the casualties were extremely heavy.For this reason, the Qianghu tribe wanted to bow their heads, but the Han army was unwilling to accept it.The six tribes who resisted the most viciously were wiped out, and a dozen small tribes have since disappeared on the pastures around Lianbao...

Jia Kui captured more than a thousand Hunu, many of whom were young and strong.

At the time when Hongshui County started construction, Cao Peng needed more young and strong slaves, so Jia Kui was ordered to send these slaves to Hongshui.

Liu Qing is a Dubo in the Lianbao Han Army, and has a team of soldiers under his command.

It is not difficult to be ordered to escort Hu Nu this time.After all, the distance from Lianbao to Hongshui County is not too far.Unexpectedly, the fog for several days in a row delayed a lot of time.Liu Qing didn't want to embarrass these Hu slaves, but considering that if the time was delayed, the whole team would be punished, Liu Qing had no choice but to order to speed up the march.

On the vast pasture, a group of slaves headed towards Hongshui County.

In the distance, behind a mound, a group of herdsmen are about to move...

"Master Shi, I'm afraid it's not good to do this."

"What's wrong?"

"Those are the Han army. General Dou and that General Cao have just made an alliance. If we do this, won't we break the alliance?"

"What does the covenant between Dou Lan and the barbarian of the Han family have anything to do with me?"

A stocky man with a rebellious look on his face.

"Dou Lan has a covenant with the Han barbarians, but I don't... Those Han barbarians built a city on my ground, and I didn't ask who it was. I just want to teach these Han barbarians a lesson today. Hongze Muyuan, not Dou Lan alone can have the final say. I have lived in Hongze for generations, three generations more than Dou Lan. Now, Dou Lan wants to trouble me, and I will not be polite to him. Hehe , see what they can do to me..."

"..."

Behind the mound, there was a moment of silence.

After a while, someone came to report: "The Han army is coming!"

"Children, get ready to strike!"

That stocky Lord Shi drew out his long knife.

Behind him, hundreds of shepherds screamed at the same time, roaring like wolves, and rushed out from behind the mound.

"Enemy attack!"

Liu Qing was urging the horse forward, when she suddenly heard waves of promotion coming from the front.

Immediately afterwards, the wolf howl unique to Hu Qi came into his ears, which shocked Liu Qing, and quickly ordered the infantry to prepare for battle.

But the problem is that he only has fifty subordinates, and they are mainly infantry.

In addition, there were only 500 Hunu under escort.Hearing the familiar cry, Hunu immediately became agitated.They were not willing to be coolies, and now that someone intercepted them, it happened to be their opportunity to rebel.

As soon as a Han soldier raised his spear, two Hunu rushed over and threw the Han soldier to the ground.

The Han army shouted in horror: "Liu Dalang, save me."

Liu Qing was furious, and charged forward with his horse, the iron spine spear in his hand whizzed out, killing the two Hu Nus on the spot.However, the Hunu riot had already begun, and the sound of hooves on horsemen in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the howling of wolves was getting louder and louder.

Liu Qing gritted her teeth, opened her eyes angrily, and waved the iron spear in her hand.

One was caught off guard, and a Hu Nu rushed over from the side, throwing Liu Qing off his horse.The huge impact made Liu Qing fall to the ground, feeling dizzy for a while.The iron spear flew to nowhere, and he was firmly held down by the Hu Nu.Vaguely, he saw a ferocious face and a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

Liu Qing yelled, trying to overthrow that Hu Nu.

Unexpectedly, Hu Nu opened his mouth and bit Liu Qing's neck fiercely...

At this moment, a cold light flashed by, and a Han soldier swung a knife and killed Hu Nu.

He stepped forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to pull Liu Qing up, but he heard a sound of strings, a little starlight beating, and with a bang, the sharp arrow hit the back of the Han army.Han Jun let out a muffled grunt, and fell to the ground with a thud, just pressing down on Liu Qing's body.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of hooves continued, sharp arrows pierced through the air, and let out a shrill hiss.

A scream echoed over Muyuan, hundreds of Hu cavalry attacked, and the Han army was slaughtered in an instant.

Liu Qing turned pale with fright, lying on the muddy grass, not daring to move.

Fortunately, the wormwood was very tall, and there was a corpse of a Han soldier on him, so no one found him.

The Hu cavalry dismounted and quickly swept the battlefield.

Liu Qing vaguely heard someone shouting loudly, followed closely by those Hu slaves, raising their arms and shouting in response.These people did not speak the Han dialect, but seemed to be the language of the Hu ethnic group.Liu Qing didn't quite understand it, but she could guess the meaning...

It is nothing more than to ask those Hu slaves to follow him!

"Kuitou, this place is not far from Hongshui County, so don't stay for long."

"Well, let everyone get on the horse, and the two who don't have a horse will share the ride. Let's leave here first and then make other plans."

There was the sound of messy footsteps, followed by the sound of hooves.

Liu Qing only felt dizzy for a while, lying in the mud, she passed out.

The wind in late autumn is very cold.

I don't know how long he was in a coma, but Liu Qing woke up in a daze, and Ji Lingling gave a chill.The corpse of the Han army on top of him was already frozen, which made him terrified.Quickly pushing the corpse away, Liu Qing rolled over and sat up, her body still trembling.The wind was blowing, making him tremble continuously...there were corpses all around him, except for dozens of Hunu, they were the dead corpses of the Han army.Liu Qing picked up a knife from the ground and finally calmed down a bit.However, that fear has not weakened. In the bleak night of the Muyuan, his thin body could not stop shivering...

Hooves!
There was a sound of horseshoes from a distance!

Liu Qing suddenly turned pale with fright, and quickly lay down in the wormwood, looking out from the gaps in the weeds.

Could it be that those barbarians are back again?

The fog was thick and the vision was a bit blurred.Liu Qing could vaguely see that more than a dozen riders came to this battlefield from far and near.

I can't see the attire clearly, but looking at the appearance, it doesn't seem to be the Han army.

The first person jumped off the horse, and he could vaguely see the black cloak on his body.

"It's our people!"

Listen to the voice, that person is not too old.

But the standard Heluo Mandarin made Liu Qing feel extremely cordial.

He almost cried out, quickly stood up from the wormwood, and shouted: "But the Red Water Han Army?"

Today, in the land of Hexi, there are three Han armies.Liu Qing belonged to the Lianbao Han army, and there was also a Han army in the northwest Muyuan.The rest is the Red Water Han Army.The three Han armies originally belonged to one army, but were later separated and dispersed.With the completion of Lianbao and the start of construction in Hongshui County, the establishment of the Han army also increased, and the number of people increased...

Limburg, for example, had only 1000 people last month.

Today, Lianbao has more than 500 garrison troops. In addition to some young and strong Han slaves, some Hu cavalry have also been added.

Liu Qing didn't know the situation in Hongshui County.

But looking at the uniforms of this cavalry army and their accents, it is impossible for them to be local Hu cavalry in Hexi.And in this vicinity, there is only one Han army, that is, the Hongshui Han army.Maybe it was General Cao's new recruits.

Hulala, more than a dozen Han soldiers surrounded and dragged Liu Qing out of the wormwood.

A young officer stepped forward and shouted sharply: "Who are you, tell me your name?"

"The last general is Liu Qing, Du Bo of the Lianbao Camp."

Although the young man was young, his style was not ordinary.

Liu Qing didn't dare to be negligent, and replied with sincerity and fear.

Although he didn't know who the other party was, he could tell a clue from the boy's attire.Not everyone can wear that black cloak.In Liu Qing's impression, only the sharp soldiers of the Han army can have this kind of equipment.In addition, the young man has a good temperament and speaks Mandarin with a strong Heluo accent, so he must have a lot of background.

"Lianbao Camp?"

The young officer was startled.

A black-clad knight at the side said: "Third son, Lianbao is the original Lian County, and now it has been changed to Lianbao by the general. It is also the only town in Hexi that has a prototype."

"You, why are you here?"

The boy asked sharply.

Three sons?
But Liu Qing heard it so sincerely, she couldn't help being startled.

Where are these three young masters?However, it seems that the background is not small, maybe it is a child of a big family.

This kind of rich family's children are not something Liu Qing can provoke.

He hastily saluted respectfully, and then recounted what happened just now, without daring to omit any omissions.Hearing that, the third young master couldn't help being furious and roaring again and again.

"Hugou is so crazy!"

"Third Young Master, this matter is of great importance and must be reported to the general immediately."

"Exactly, it's just like this... You, go with the old cow, and explain the reason after seeing the teacher, and don't hide anything."

"But, the villain's mount..."

"Can you ride a horse?"

"Ah, the villain originally had a nasty horse."

The third young master waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Liu Qing's words, "Old Niu, take him back first, and I'll take someone to inspect it."

"Ziwen, don't be impulsive."

"I know, don't worry."

Liu Qing saw that a burly young man standing next to the third son came forward and grabbed his arm.

"Then I'll go back first, you come back quickly."

As Lao Niu said, he almost dragged Liu Qing away.

Liu Qing staggered behind the old cow, and got on the mount together with the old cow.

He couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the young master..."

"A certain cow gang."

"Then that young man just now..."

"Hey, where are the many problems? When you arrive at the camp, you will naturally know. Sit down and let's go!"
