Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2389 This is it? this one!

  Life, death, sickness, and disability are natural laws.

  For thousands of years, human beings have thought that they could break these laws, or fantasized that they could break them, but when it came to the end, they found that all their efforts were just a joke in front of the cruel nature.

  Changan Sansuke, it was drizzling.

   But in the northern desert, snowflakes are still falling.

  Changshan Daying sent a scout team to conduct inspections as usual.

  These scouts carry sleds, war horses, war dogs, and have certain supplies, and will spread to the northern region for about ten days of detection.

The long-haired war dog was an idea proposed by Sima Yi in the early days. It is said that it originated from Sima Yi's archery and hip pulling. Compared with other officials, he couldn't shoot the prey, so he simply raised dogs to help catch chickens and rabbits. Kind of, to pretend to be your own hunting income. Regarding this point, Sima Yi resolutely denied it, saying that it was a rumor and slander, and reserved the right to further pursue the rumor maker...

   But anyway, this unattractive thick-haired medium-sized dog does make the work of scouts more efficient to a certain extent, reduces risks, and can even assist in replenishing some prey when they go out to perform detection.

   Therefore, Changshan Daying has almost no discomfort with raising this kind of dog, and this kind of medium-sized dog has become the standard equipment of the internal scout camp. Generally speaking, there are probably two or three dogs in a group. These dogs are very simple, what people eat, dogs eat what, the skin is easy to raise.

   Early morning.

  The snow finally stopped.

  The sound of barking dogs is always harsh in the quiet morning.

   When the scout team got out of the temporary shed with the sled as the skeleton, he realized why the war dogs were roaring. The team leader raised his head and looked in the direction of the war dog's alarm. A man in a tattered leather robe appeared in the scout team leader's field of vision.

  The barbarian stood quietly on the edge of the forest, looking at the place from a distance.

  …(д)…

  You have something to eat, but I have nothing to eat.

  You have something on, but I don't.

  Truth and rules are powerful only in an orderly society. When chaos and barbarism prevail, conflicts inevitably come.

  Zhao Yun frowned slightly.

   There seems to be something wrong with this group of inexplicable opponents.

  Is it because of Jiankun Kingdom?

  『…』Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, then waved his arms, “Raise the flag! 』

  Flags have become the soul of the army since the dawn of time.

As the flags of the generals of the Chinese army behind Zhao Yun raised their flags and waved slightly in the air, the flags of the surrounding junior generals also raised their flags, and then tilted slightly towards the flags of the generals of the Chinese army Zhao Yun, as if they were facing Zhao Yun. Same place as compliments.

  The blue side is the front army, the red side is the middle army, and the white side is the flank.

As the subordinate generals raised their flags in response, and then the flags of the next level were raised, and then the flag leaders of each team stood upright, took off the back flags behind them and waved them, and all the flags were fluttering on the entire front. .

   This is order.

  This is also a demonstration!

   Commander of the former army, Gan Feng led the soldiers to stand at the forefront of the array. He saw the men and horses on the opposite side rushing towards them like black and gray waves, and the sound of thousands of horses' hooves trampling the ground was indeed imposing and soul-stirring.

  But Gan Feng was laughing.

   Laugh excitedly.

Previously, Zhang He led the team to Jiankun, which made Gan Feng quite depressed. He felt that he hadn't been able to go out to have fun, um, fighting, and he was very depressed. Enough to make Gan Feng excited...

"come! ”Gan Feng laughed, “Come if you have the guts!” 』

   Hugo, who was opposite Ganfeng, was quite hesitant.

Ugo's tribe was hit by a white disaster, and according to the elders of the tribe, there will be black disasters after the white disaster, which is almost a devastating blow to a tribe, and going south has become a last resort, and in the process of going south , Ugo met the same fellow sufferers again.

The surrounding tribes were also affected by the disaster. The two tribe leaders got together and weighed it. They felt that if there was a war, even the winning side might not have much good fruit to eat, so they simply merged in one place and continued to search. prey.

   One after another, more people gathered, and then Ugo and the others ran into the Dingling tribe.

  This winter, Dingling people are not having a good time.

  There are only two paths before Wugo and others, should they go to **** the poor and crazy Dingling people, or go south to **** the rumored rich Han people?

  Ding Lingren suffered a great loss at the hands of Cao Jun and lived a very hard life. Then they decided to go to Liaodong, Youzhou, which is the area of ​​Gongsun, to carry out a wave of looting, and asked Wu Ge and others if they wanted to go with them...

Ugo asked the friends who came with him, and most of them were unwilling to follow Ding Lingren, but the power of Cao Jun in Youzhou area described by Ding Lingren made Ugo feel worried, so Ugo finally chose the big man's The central direction, because Ugo’s parents said that the Han people here are timid and incompetent, and they will only run away when they meet them...

  But now something seems wrong.

   Coming this way, the surroundings are dilapidated, and there is nothing good at all.

  The more you walk, the hungrier you will be.

  The further south you go, the greater this expectation will be.

  At least the snow here is light, and there are traces of small animals in the thawed land and woods...

  Everyone felt that hope was in front of them, but the Han Chinese army that suddenly appeared stopped in front of them.

  『Who can speak Chinese? 』

  Ugo asked loudly, turning his head to look left and right.

   No one responded.

  When the book is used, there is less hatred. The trouble of being uneducated is far from being unable to communicate, and more importantly, they don't even know the gap between themselves and the other party. Only Ugo faintly felt that something was wrong, and when the flags on the opposite side echoed each other, he noticed that the other side's queue was like an iron wall. It was definitely not the kind of cowardly person described by his parents, who would only run away when he went into battle. of the Han people.

  Ugo turned his head and asked the patriarch of another tribe beside him, "What do you think of the Han army formation opposite?" 』

  The other tribal chief pondered for a long time, "I always have to try..."

  Yeah, gonna give it a try.

  Crazy poor, crazy hungry, starved to death or killed in battle, you have to choose one.

  Hugo nodded and said, "If we can't defeat these Han people, we won't be able to get through it." But they have iron armor...Our bows and arrows may not be able to penetrate...』

  Ugo thought for a while and said: "My father once said that if you want to beat a wolf, you don't have to rush into the wolf's den and lure the wolf out... Maybe it's better..."

  The other tribal leader nodded, "You have a wise father...that's right...we can't fight head-on, these Han people are full of iron, and they must be tired faster than us when running..."

  「I remember…」 Ugo gestured slightly to the back,「There’s an idiot…」

  『Okay, let the ones behind retreat first... Let’s go forward and lure them to chase...』

  …(;￢￢￢)…

Ugo skillfully took out a bone light arrow, clamped the arrow tail to the tiger's mouth, clasped the bowstring with the thumb of his right hand, pressed the index finger and **** on the thumb, raised his left hand, and the arrow pointed obliquely In the air, his right hand began to slowly draw the bowstring, and the other clansmen around him also opened their bows in the same posture.

   Bow and arrow are their lifelong friends.

These nomads have been active on horseback since they were young. The first toy must be a small bow and arrow. Making bows and arrows is almost a must-have skill for each of them. Even under the condition of no standardization, they use personal Advanced skills make up for the differences in weapons and equipment. As long as they hold the bow and arrow in their hands, they can automatically adjust how far the arrows of different weights need to shoot, and how much energy they need to use.

   Light arrows are not suitable for throwing, because when they fall, these light arrows are not as lethal as heavy arrows, but the problem is that Ugo and the others don't have many heavy arrows. And Ugo felt that, looking at the armor of these Han people, even if they used heavy arrows, they might not be able to cause much damage to the Han people...

   But it is the north wind at the moment.

  The Han people travel from south to north, which is against the wind.

   This can be regarded as a little advantage of the nomads.

  Northern wind will mess up the shooting direction of the light arrow, making the light arrow lose its aim, but it can also increase the range of the light arrow. Anyway, it is just a projectile. Cover shooting does not need the so-called precision at all.

  Under an order, the nomads turned around and shot, accompanied by the sound of countless bow strings vibrating like plucking cotton, like a huge swarm of bees flying by, densely packed arrows rose into the sky at the same time.

Ugo turned around halfway, took a little aim, released his thumb suddenly, and the bowstring was drawn along the smooth surface of the finger. The energy accumulated on the bow arm was instantly released on the arrow tail, and the light arrow flew out rapidly amidst the hum of the bowstring. , the birch shaft was slightly distorted in the air due to the huge force, twisting like a snake. After it flew through the first section, the birch shaft slowly stopped twisting, and the arrow body became stable under the balance of the tail feathers , it and thousands of other light arrows pierced the air and merged into a sound like the wind blowing through the woods.

When these light arrows flew over the highest point and began to dive towards the Han line, following an order, the Han cavalry pulled out their round shields, not to cover their faces, but to cover the big heads of their horses. superior.

Han Chinese cavalry helmets have brims, and some have visors. You only need to lower your head slightly, even if you are shot by a light arrow, it will not cause any serious damage. However, most war horses do not have any protective equipment on the head. There is a horse mask, but it only protects a small area, and it cannot fully protect the horse's head, especially the eyes, nose and ears of the horse, which are relatively weak. In case of injury, although it may not be fatal, it is easy It caused the horses to be restless and frantic, and then jumped and ran around, causing the queue to be chaotic.

  The arrow falls.

   Clinking, the arrows jumped wildly among the Han army formation.

   The scene looks very lively, but in fact there is not much curative effect...

  The counterattack of the Han army is coming!

In front of Ugo, an unlucky guy from the same tribe was hit by the arrows of the Han army. The tattered leather robe could not block the arrows of the Han people at all. He screamed and fell from the horseback to the ground clutching his stomach. Added some blood red to it.

  Although the two armies were only throwing each other, but after encountering the Han army's counterattack for the first time, Ugo's hands couldn't help shaking a little, and his lower body even faintly felt a little peeing...

Not everyone can go berserk like a prehistoric behemoth immediately when they go to the battlefield. Most people are still ordinary. Even as the leader of the tribe, Ugo doesn't kill people every day, or he is used to the existence of death. , Even if he had psychological expectations in advance, he never thought that his proud bow and arrow skills would be ineffective, nor did he expect that the defense of the Han army would be so strong.

  A strong fear of the unknown hit his heart.

  Han army is headwind!

  Even shooting against the wind caused the nomadic side to lose nearly 30 people in this round...

  Although thirty people may not be a lot in terms of the overall number, it did cause a lot of shock to the entire Ugo side, because compared to the loss of nomads, the Han people were almost unscathed.

  The second round of light arrows was shot, and the battle damage of both sides was still the same. Even the arrows of the nomadic side lost their aim even more, and many of them even fell on the open ground...

Many nomadic people speeded up their horses, trying to escape the range of the Han army behind them as much as possible, and naturally they would not be shot by the Han people, but similarly, these people could not shoot the Han people, even though their light arrows were It may not be lethal if it is shot, but at least it is an obstacle, or a small threat.

  Gan Feng urged the horse.

  『A bunch of huh! Run, run, run with a hammer! 』

  Gan Feng cursed, full of displeasure.

Originally, Gan Feng thought that there would be a hearty fight, but when he urged his horse forward, the nomadic barbarians on the opposite side quickly turned into fleeing, and the changes in the middle were so smooth that Gan Feng was a little caught mad.

   Such a big battle at the beginning!

this one?

this one!

  『Ha! Melon skin! 』

  The guard beside Gan Feng urged his horse forward, and when he got to Gan Feng's side, he shouted loudly, "General! Ten miles! It's almost ten miles away! 』

  Gan Feng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced behind him. He didn't seem to see any special signal from Zhao Yun, so he also shouted: "Twenty miles of routine!" Signal to the General! 』

  The general Gan Fengkou is talking about is of course Pingbei General Zhao Yun.

   Zhao Yun was also a little surprised when he found that the Hu people ran away instead of fighting directly. Because from Wuhuan to Xianbei, as well as Ding Lingren, they will at least charge head-on, and only want to escape and retreat if they can't, like these barbarians in front of them, they fled to respect before they formally fought, indeed Not often.

  But this does not mean that Zhao Yun has no experience in dealing with such things. Gan Feng bit the barbarian's **** and pursued, while Zhao Yun followed slowly. On the one hand, he didn't have to gallop to consume the horse's stamina, and on the other hand, it was convenient to dispatch scouts in all directions.

   It is obvious that the opponent is preparing to ambush, but Zhao Yun still does not know how many people the opponent has come and how many soldiers are in ambush...

  Northern Region Protectorate, of course, the most important thing is to be able to control the Northern Region Desert.

  The jurisdiction of the Protectorate of the Northern Territory is not half of the desert, nor is it so-called relatively safe. It belongs to the area around Changshan Daying, but the entire Northern Territory!

   Otherwise, it is not Zhao Yun's wish to just call a name, which is not worthy of the name. So the sudden appearance of the barbarians made Zhao Yun a little curious. After all, these people don't seem to be Xianbei, and they don't belong to Dingling people. Could it be the remnants of Jiankun? Or some other tribe?

When he first arrived at Changshan, Zhao Yun's knowledge of the northern desert was limited to the names of tribes such as Xianbei Wuhuan Dingling, and he only knew what the structure of these guys was. The captain, the left and right big households, etc. thought that this was the basic overview, but as time went by, the more Zhao Yun knew about the Northern Desert, the more he realized that he didn't know.

  The northern desert is really too big.

  From the Xiongnu to Xianbei, in fact, it is not a fixed affiliation like the inheritance of the Han family. In many cases, even the Xiongnu and Xianbei themselves may not know how many tribes and populations there are in the desert.

  It’s like if Zhao Yun hadn’t contacted the people of Rouran, he wouldn’t have known that there was Jiankun Kingdom in the north of Rouran, let alone sent Zhang He to fight in Jiankun.

   So what kind of situation does this suddenly appearing Huren tribe belong to?

   Is it the desert reinforcements that Ding Lingren invited after he was unwilling?

   A brand new tribe you haven't encountered before?

   Is it a trap set by pretending to lack weapons?

As the Han's first line of defense in the Northern Territory, Zhao Yun can't just be satisfied with defense, or a simple victory. He feels that he has this responsibility to know more about the situation of this piece of land, of course It also includes these newly emerging Hu tribes.

  The Huns don't like to shave their hair. Most of them comb their hair back like the Han people, and a few shaved their heads.

  Most Xianbei people from Donghu like to shave their heads, and the shaving styles are different. Some shave the top of the head, some shave the sides and leave the middle, and some shave two grooves and divide the hair into three parts...

  Dingling people like to wear hats like Qiang people. Qiang people’s felt hats are shorter and flat, while Dingling people’s hats are taller and more pointed.

  Wuhuan people basically have everything, shaved heads, hats, but generally don’t braid their hair, and like to use animal horns, teeth, precious metals, gemstones and so on as head decorations...

  These newly-appeared Hu people do not seem to belong to the Xiongnu, nor do they belong to the Hu people tribe of Xianbei. Anyway, Zhao Yun failed to judge which part of the Hu people they should belong to. Anyway, these barbarians made Zhao Yun somewhat curious.

   Soon after, the "ambush" that Zhao Yun guessed finally appeared...

Zhao Yun did not immediately go to rescue the ambushed Ganfeng troops, but sent scouts again to investigate the surroundings, but when these scouts came back with some confusion, they reported that they did not find any other hidden troops When it happened, Zhao Yun felt a little unbelievable.

   Is this an ambush?

   Is that all?

this one?

this one!

   Who is this looking down upon?
