The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

The spacing between the trees here is not dense, but there are low branches from time to time. The mounts of the ancestors are all tall horses in the north, and the body of a single horse is eight feet high, and then the height of a person is closed, it is not easy to walk through the forest. Fortunately, everyone is skilled in equestrianism, and if they slow down a little, they can still shuttle freely.

The three-mile road passed in a flash, and the forest became more and more sparse.

The plains outside the woodland are unobstructed, and you can see a team not far ahead. There were seven or eight wagons in the procession, but more than half of them were gone, and only the two carriages on the southern periphery were still equipped with horses, and the horses were grazing leisurely. There were many luggage, bags and even damaged carriages scattered around the convoy, three or four bodies were lying in the mess, and several survivors were hiding behind a wagon and crying.

Zu Zhao secretly shouted that it was not good: Hu Ren has already succeeded?

Rushing out of the woodland, he subconsciously whipped his horsewhip to speed up, and stepped on a gust of wind to the front of the convoy.

The survivors were startled at first when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and they all shrank down and cried even harder, until one of them, sensing that the sound was not in the right direction, dared to look up, and then shouted like a savior.

Zu Zhao grabbed the reins on the side of the carriage where the survivors were hiding, glanced at these people, and found that they were all dressed in white, and it seemed that they were either businessmen or inferior attendants, so he immediately asked directly without talking nonsense: "Where did the thieves go?" The

surviving few people were stunned for a moment, they saw that Zu Zhao and the others were not uniforms, and they didn't even have decent weapons, so they didn't think about saving themselves at this time, but wanted to track down the Hu people and horse thieves, which was really a bit of a big deal. However, Zu Zhao's shouting was full of anger, but at a young age, he exuded an undoubted majesty, quite the demeanor of a young hero, which made people dare not slack off in the slightest.

"To the west... went, my young lady was taken by them... Abducted..."One trembled and stretched out his hand to point in a direction.

"How many thieves are there? How long has it been gone? Zu Zhao continued to ask.

"A lot... A lot..."

"How many are there!" Zu Zhao asked sharply.

"The crowd of sixty or seventy . . . Just left. Another person hastened to add.

"Then go east in a carriage, and about twenty miles will be Luronse. Zu Ji, we continue to chase. Zu Zhao didn't give a quick command, and after finishing speaking, he beat his horse and galloped in the direction that the man pointed out.

Zu Ji was full of excitement, even though he knew that the thief was three times his own, but there was no fear on his face. He replied loudly, then tapped the horse's butt with the longbow in his hand, and chased after Zu Zhao. But seeing that Zu Zhao and Zu Ji were brave first, the other entourages did not dare to retreat, and shouted at their mounts and rushed up.

Chasing all the way, Zu Zhao's mind was thinking about many thoughts at the same time. Of course he is not a fool, and he is by no means blindly entrusting him with a brain fever, and his side of more than 20 people to deal with Huma, several times the number of people, even if it is a regular army, it will feel tricky, not to mention just a group of domestic servants and followers? The reason why he must chase down is because in the past few years he has always shown a position of hating foreign invasions, and now that he has encountered Huma's robbery, he must stand up and fight against injustice; The second aspect is that it has been dormant for many years, and it is time to show its skills to earn a brave name; In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the nomads in the north did not have a complete military system, and they were nothing more than grazing and ganging up to do a vote, and dealing with the rabble was not a large number of people, but a morale and psychological contest.

With his timeless saddle and pedals, coupled with his hard-trained riding and archery skills, it would be enough to break the confidence of these "herdsmen" after taking down seven or eight people with the tactics of slow dragging. But any horse thief who wants to make money does not have the courage to make determination, and this is where his own certainty lies.

The road to the west was slightly undulating, and after a quarter of an hour's pursuit, after crossing a mound, I immediately saw a large group of men and horses five miles to the northwest hurrying at a slow pace. The Hu people are dressed in coarse cotton pleats, cotton felt hats, or fur with animal skins, and they are all dark in color from a distance. And those Han hostages who were wrapped in Hu people were mostly light and bright clothes, which were very conspicuous in the crowd.

Due to the constant crying and writhing of the hostages, the procession dragged on for a long time and loosely.

It was extremely advantageous for Zu Zhao, he judged the direction of the wind, turned around and shouted to the people behind him, "Follow the west wind to their left flank." The

retinue turned their heads to each other, and continued to advance rapidly in a north-west direction.

A few people at the end of the Hu team heard the sound of horses' hooves in the rear, and soon found the figure of Zu Zhao and the others, and immediately brandished all kinds of long-handled weapons in their hands and shouted at the large army in front. After a while, the Hu people's ranks gradually changed, about twenty people continued to move forward with the hostages, while the rest of the men and horses turned around and turned to meet Zu Zhao's side while shouting and charging, obviously they did not pay attention to the pursuit team of more than twenty people.

The number of Hu people who came to meet them was quite large, roughly counting nearly half a hundred. These herdsmen are also very experienced in archery, and they know that they want to seize the upper hand, so they happen to go toe-to-toe with Zu Zhao and others.

Sure enough, there were two hits!

Zu Zhao secretly snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to be careless in his mind, at this moment, he naturally couldn't easily change his direction, even if he couldn't grab the upper hand, he wouldn't let Hu Ren pick it up. If the Hu people want to surround them, they will inevitably slow down in speed, and then they will be able to act according to the tactics predicted in the morning. The worst outcome would be two parallel lines of men and horses, striking each other with bows and arrows.

"Stay in formation, keep your speed, and don't let go of your arrows than be slower than the thief." Seeing that the Hu people were getting closer and closer, Zu Zhao turned sideways and gave an order to everyone behind him.

"Eldest son, how can I do it if I don't release the arrow?" Zu Ji, who was not far behind, couldn't help but ask back suspiciously.

"Act at the opportune moment, don't let the thieves surround us." Zu Zhao explained.

Zu Ji would be confused for a while, thinking that he would be in a short fight, but now it has become a matter of seeing who runs fast, which is really aggrieved.

Before that, the Hu team forced to a position where the side and rear were more than 100 paces apart, and then they did not try to get closer, otherwise it would only make the distance between the two sides get farther and farther. They relied on the strength of the crowd, constantly let out rough laughter, and from time to time a few feathered arrows flew in, but they were in a downwind position and too far away, and there was no possibility of hitting at all.

Zu Zhao glanced back and roughly calculated the distance between the two sides, everything was already expected by him.

He quickly drew his longbow and a feathered arrow from behind him, shifted his weight to the horse's shoes, and as he turned around, he spread his bowstring and aimed at the nearest Hu man with a green jade jewel on his hat. This Hu man rushed to the front of the team from beginning to end, as if it was the leader of this team of horse thieves, and of course the thieves had to capture the king first.

It is not an easy task to penetrate Yang in 100 steps, let alone on the back of a bumpy horse, but at the moment it is in the upper hand, and it has the advantage of horse pedaling, and there is still three points of confidence to create some deterrence.

Hold your breath, hold your bow steadily, and carefully grasp the rules of the mount's bumps.

In an instant, he let go of his bowstring, and the feathered arrows flew out with a scream.

The Hu people who led the way noticed Zu Zhao's bow early on, and hurriedly lowered his head and dodged sideways after hearing the sound of arrows. However, the whistling feather arrow grazed the head of his mount and then his shoulder, avoiding the vital point, causing the passing feather arrow to finally hit the other Hu man who followed him.

"Ahh The man who was hit by the arrow screamed in pain, and held on to the horse's back for a while, and then staggered and fell, swallowed up by the rolling dust under the horse's hooves.

Although it was hit by mistake, this arrow still surprised everyone.

The Hu people in the lead were angry and jealous, and after screaming nonsense, they also opened their bows and shot two arrows at Zu Zhao. The rest of the Hu people followed suit, and shot out more than ten arrows scattered, but unfortunately it was not a tailwind, and there was no horse pedal, so they had to slow down the horse speed when they opened the bow and aimed, and the arrows they shot out did not catch up with Zu Zhao, even a few followers at the end of Zu Zhao's team could not touch the slightest.

The more than ten arrows shot by the Hu people all missed, which not only broke his face, but also set off Zu Zhao's majesty even more.

The stark contrast immediately caused the retinue behind Zu Zhao to cheer loudly, and Zu Ji even waved his longbow and shouted, while turning around and grimacing at those Hu people.

When Zu Zhao heard the cheers of the crowd, he was immediately inspired, what could be more demoralizing than bantering the enemy? As soon as he thought of this, he turned back and said to his entourage heroically: "It's a joke that such an immortal person dares to be an enemy of my big man. Look at me shooting him and dismounting. All

the entourages shouted: "The eldest prince Shenwu." As

soon as the words fell, Zu Zhao bent his bow and arrows, and once again aimed at the leader Hu man wearing jewelry.

Seeing this, the leader Hu Ren quickly slowed down his horse and hid in the crowd.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zu Zhao's mouth, the arrow earlier had already worked. He didn't intend to deliberately stare at the leading horseman, but still chose the nearest horse thief as the target, and he just wanted to let these horses know what it means to shoot a head bird. When the string reached the full moon, he deliberately shouted "in" while releasing the arrow, deliberately trying to form a threatening momentum.

The crowd had already been weak when the leader retreated, and at this time they heard Zu Zhao's shouting, and before they saw the feather arrows flying, the few people in front of the team immediately dodged in a hurry. The first one, because the dodge was too great, and there was no saddle and pedal to stabilize the position, he fell from the horse's back at once, and still dragged the reins in his hand, but was still dragged by the mount for a while, and finally buried in the dust in the heart-rending screams.

As for whether the arrow shot by Zu Zhao hit or not, no one knew it, but the entourage didn't care so much, and shouted loudly: "Hit again, sure enough, hit again." "

A hundred steps through Yang, nothing more than this."

"The eldest prince's magic arrow."

"Hu Yi Xiao'er, do you dare to chase again?"
