Horse on the World

Chapter 172
The blue sky, white clouds, breeze, and green grass constitute a beautiful picture of the prairie, which rises and falls from time to time, like rolling pastures, white, yellow, black, flowers, clusters, groups, or wanton play , chasing and playing, or leisurely raising their heads, looking at the blue sky, slowly chewing the grass, or facing each other, sticking out their tongues to comb the hair of their companions intimately, and even wilder ones, glaring, howling and intimidating, moment to moment Fighting together, with all four hooves flying, large pieces of grass blades were raised.The underage little ones snuggled up to their mothers in fear, watching the fierce fighting, their eyes gradually showed a hint of excitement, their little hooves scratched the ground, and whimpered softly. , their mother always gave them a well-timed headbutt to keep them quiet.

The shepherds leisurely rode on horseback and slammed their whips, or lay down on the soft lawn and squinted their eyes to enjoy the sunshine. They are lucky to live in a large grassland tribe like Qingbu, and they don’t need to communicate with those small tribes. They are ordinary guys who worry about their livelihood every day. As long as they hand over enough fur or cheese to the noble chiefs every day, they can enjoy various treatment from the tribe.

Lu Fu, the centurion of Qingbu, enjoys his current life very much. He has a big tent and a wife who is very capable of giving birth to children. Now, although he is only 25 years old, he is already the father of three children. He can ride a pony and draw a soft bow. Looking at his frame, he will be a strong knight again in less than ten years.

Loew was lying on the grass, squinting at the mother-in-law with her youngest son on her back, who was milking the goat with her buttocks sticking out. The swaying fatness made him feel a little distracted. When he begged her, his father said ass It is true that older women can give birth.Thinking of his father, Lu Fu couldn't help but feel a little sad. Dad was a strong warrior, but unfortunately he died in Dingzhou. Those Dingzhou people are really hateful. One day, under the leadership of the leader, we will enter Dingzhou again. Go to Zhouzhou to avenge my father and snatch back more things belonging to the Han people.

It's a pity that I can't go this year. The Bai people suffered a big defeat in Dingzhou, and tens of thousands of people died. Last time, the Qingbu was also attacked by Dingzhou people in Luofengpo. Many people were killed and injured, and they were forced to retreat hundreds of times. inside.But Loew firmly believed that it was only because the Dingzhou people used tricks to win. In real field battles, the prairie warriors who grew up on horseback and the eagles who could shoot bows and arrows from childhood must be many times stronger than those Dingzhou farmers. As long as you put out your posture, you will definitely be able to kill them.

There will be no more battles this year, so there will be no extra income, so I will be at home raising horses and herding sheep. When next year, I will go to Dingzhou to fight again. Next year, I will definitely grab some jewelry for my mother-in-law. The pair of gold rings on his wife's ears were exchanged between him and those merchants from Dachu. It's not that the headman is strictly forbidden to embarrass these businessmen. I really want to kill the treacherous businessman at first glance, and then rob him of all his things.

But Loew knew that the headman's ban was justified. I heard that after Li Qing in Dingzhou came to power, he began to strictly prohibit merchants from doing business with grasslands. Since the beginning of this year, the price of salt alone has doubled several times. A trachoma was opened in the pot, and I wanted to buy another one from those merchants, but I asked all the merchants who came to Qingbu, and no one sold this kind of thing. It is said that Li Qing forbids merchants to bring a nail into the Grassland, those who violate the order will be killed.This annoyed Loew very much.Whenever his wife was cooking, he heard the sound of water leaking from the fire, and Loew vowed to go to Dingzhou next year.

Loew, who was thinking about his thoughts, was dazed by the sun, and slowly fell asleep. He dreamed that the leader led them, thousands of horses galloped, and even the ground trembled. The warriors rushed into Dingzhou shouting. I snatched a big iron pot, and that shining, golden jewelry.

The ground was indeed trembling. Lu Fu suddenly woke up from his sleep, and when he confirmed that he was not dreaming, he saw his mother-in-law staring at him blankly. He jumped up suddenly. The ground was really trembling, after a long battle He immediately judged that this was because a large number of cavalry were approaching, and the leader led them away, but it wasn't that direction, which direction was it?
He yelled suddenly, "Dingzhou people are coming, the enemy is attacking!" He rushed into the tent, put on the leather armor hastily, picked up the sword, led his horse, and shouted to his wife: "Leng What are you doing, why don’t you get on your horse and run towards the camp?” Loew picked up his eldest son and put it behind him, and then grabbed the dazed second son and put it in front of him. At this time, he saw his mother-in-law also He stepped on a horse, "Run, run to the camp, and you will be safe if you run into the camp." He shouted.While shouting, he could already see in the distance, black cavalry in black helmets pouring towards this side like a flood.

Lu Fu's mother-in-law rode her horse and ran, but the direction she was running was the direction where the Dingzhou army was attacking. Lu Fu couldn't help being stunned, and shouted: "Come back, are you crazy? Come back!"

The mother-in-law ran faster when she heard his words. Lu Fu was startled, and suddenly realized that his mother-in-law was from Dingzhou, and his father snatched it back from Dingzhou.

He beat his horse and chased after him, "Come back quickly, you can't go, they will kill you, they don't know you are from Dingzhou!" Loew shouted loudly, but the mother-in-law didn't listen to his call at all, and whipped the horse repeatedly , but run faster.

Love shed tears, "You stupid woman, you are going to die, why did you take my son!" The two children on the back also shouted, "Grandma, grandma!"

He turned his horse's head around and ran towards the camp. On the horse, he turned his head and saw the galloping lineup of the Dingzhou Army, and saw his wife was instantly knocked into the air by the powerful cavalry of the opponent, with His little son flew high into the sky, "You stupid bitch!" Love cried.

Lu Dalin's [-] cavalry were divided into three groups, and the two wings were like two huge arrows galloping forward in an arc, while the Chinese army was slightly behind. In front of them, countless herdsmen who were grazing outside were galloping away on horseback. Their target It was the Qingbu Camp not far away. In the camp, the warning horn sounded mournfully, and the camp was in a hurry. A large number of cavalry rushed out of the camp and began to line up. Lu Dalin saw the opponent's disheveled appearance, A satisfied smile appeared on his face, this time the surprise attack was perfect, the main tent soldiers of the Qingbu were taken away by Haningqi, how could the rest of them be the opponents of the long-prepared Dingzhou iron cavalry.

The back door of the Qingbu camp was wide open, and countless old and weak rode away on horseback. Lu Dalin sneered slightly. It seemed that the Qingbu general who stayed behind was not stupid. The tribal herdsmen have fled, no matter what, I want to fight your soldiers, what is the use of killing these people, keeping you can make Haningqi worry about feeding them.

After all, Lu Fu did not escape back to the camp. At a distance of more than a thousand steps from the camp, he was overtaken by Dingzhou soldiers. Although he also shot an arrow on the horse, the arrow hit the opponent accurately and stuck in the opponent's armor. , but obviously not enough to make the other party fatal, and the number of the other party is really too much.

There was a pain in his chest, and the children in front of him and behind him screamed in agony. When Loew looked down, a spear tip appeared on the chest of the child in front of him. The Dingzhou cavalryman behind him stabbed the spear in his hand, Immediately let go, passed by Loew, and even turned his head to look at him. Loew saw the other's cold eyes. He sighed and fell off the horse. The father and son were connected in a row, lying on the ground. He fell down on the soft grass, and countless cavalrymen swarmed up behind them, drowning them. After the cavalry passed, there was only a bloodstain left on the grass.

Lu Dalin's central army stopped two thousand steps away from the Qingbu camp, and the left and right wings were like two spears, piercing sharply into the Qingbu cavalry array that was rushing up, screaming and screaming. .

There are tens of thousands of people in the Qing Department, and no less than 5 people can mount their horses to fight, but only [-] to [-] are really capable of fighting. The leader Han Ningqi has taken away [-] people. Thousands, Han Ningshou, Han Ningqi's brother, stayed behind. When he saw the lineup of the Dingzhou Army, he immediately judged that the camp could not be defended. ruined here.

He immediately ordered that the thousands of elites left behind immediately protect the children over ten years old, and the women immediately retreated from the rear camp, while he led [-] old and weak to fight in line, trying to block the people of Dingzhou and defend the tribe. Gain time to escape.As long as there are children, and strong women in the tribe capable of giving birth, the Qingbu will not perish.

The [-] were old and weak, many of them had no armor, so they wore single clothes, put on their spears and swords, mounted their horses, rushed out of the camp without hesitation, and faced the well-armed Dingzhou soldiers like moths flying to the flame.

It was a one-sided battle, the unprepared Qingbu cavalry were cut off in droves, their spears could not even pierce the opponent's armor, and the only thing many of them could do was In the melee, he rushed to the opponent's horse, twisted the opponent and fell off the horse together, and was trampled into a meat paste by thousands of horseshoes.

Lu Dalin looked at the battlefield coldly. He has long been used to bloodshed after many battles. Whether it is the enemy or his own people who fall, his iron-like nerves cannot be shaken. He inspected the battlefield and calculated. The best time to charge, finally, he raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "Dingzhou Army, charge!" His central army roared down.

The fast horse galloped, and the knight on the horse swung the hammer attached to the iron chain, and hit the fence of the Qingbu camp fiercely with the horsepower. After several waves of blows, the camp fence fell down, and the Dingzhou cavalry cheered It rushed in from the gap.

On the battlefield, under the protection of his personal guards, Han Ningshou, who was soaked in blood, rushed desperately to stop the Dingzhou cavalry who came attacking wave after wave. When he heard the loud noise, he heard the Dingzhou soldiers Seeing the raging flames in the camp, he cried out in pain: "Break out, the whole army break out."
