Three Kingdoms

Didao.

Didao is like a barometer of the strength of Chinese farming and nomadic peoples. When the farming people are strong, Didao is the seat of Xiliang, and its tentacles will extend to the Western Regions. But once the nomads gain the upper hand, Didao often They will become the first cities to be invaded and attacked.

Quinoa has really accelerated his progress as much as possible, but the heavy snow has increased the difficulty of traveling, making it impossible for Quinoa to rely on the power of the horse machine as quickly as before. The soft snow layer deep into the calves not only made it difficult It was difficult for the people and horses to travel, and because there was not enough food and grass supplies, every step of the journey was extremely difficult.

Quinoa went to Li and also considered that Jiang Ji might send troops to attack, but after the team behind them lay in wait for two days without seeing any movement, they gave up all detection of the back route. Because of such a journey, Quinoa Xiang Li believed that even if Jiang Ji wanted to catch up, it would be almost impossible.

And the further time goes by, the less likely it is for the Han people to catch up. This is common sense in fighting the Han people over the years.

So now, the most important thing in Quinoa's heart is not to focus on preventing the Han people from pursuing them, but how to boost the morale of the Qiang people, and then how to bring more people back to their homes!

Quinoa Goli has begun to continuously promote that the main responsibility for this failure is because of Ma Chao. There was no plan, no calculation, no full effort, and he was the first to retreat, etc., all the blame was placed on Ma Chao. Anyway, Ma Chao was dead and there was no way he would come out to confront and argue with Quinoa. .

Kill to Jincheng!

Looting the Ma Chao family's wealth to quell the anger and dissatisfaction of the Qiang people has become an inevitable choice for Quinoa to make money.

Although this will lead to the decline of Quinoa's reputation among the Han people in Xiliang, Quinoa's reputation can't be taken care of now. Let's get over the current suffering first, and we can ease it when there is a chance later.

The quinoa profits have even been distributed. I and the owner of my tribe will take 50% of it, and then let the remaining 50% be distributed by the Qiang tribes who are following them, so that my tribe can remain strong. At the same time, the following Qiang tribes will not be left with nothing...

The journey was cold, and the quinoa was lying at the foot of Ji County. Although he held back a mouthful of blood and did not spit it out, maintaining the remaining dignity, it was actually not as good as spitting it out. Feeling extremely resentful, coupled with worries about the future, this journey has always been about making money from quinoa, and I couldn't help but fall ill.

In order not to affect the morale of the army, and to prevent other Qiang tribe leaders from coveting them, Quinoa Goli still insists on marching in the queue every day. Even in order to make the tribe more confident, Quinoa Gouli marches every day. You have to rub some blood on your face to keep your face from looking too pale.

Of course, Quinoa is not stupid enough to cut his own blood to apply it.

The fatigue on the road aggravated Quinoa's condition, but with Didao in front of him and Quinoa's worries about to be solved, he finally had a good night's sleep.

Unfortunately, this good mood was ruined before the next morning. Quinoa Xiangli was awakened by the news from the scouts. He got the news that Han people were catching up behind him!

Quinoa was very puzzled and asked the scout carefully: "Where did this enemy come from? Are they from Ji County?"

"No, I didn't see Jiang's battle flag, only a black one with red stripes! Not even a last name!" the scout replied helplessly.

Quinoa frowned and said, "How many people are there?"

"What we see so far is that there are only three to four hundred people..."

"Huh..." Qinmai Qili breathed a sigh of relief, "Let Rizha lead a thousand-man team to meet them! Strangling these Han people!"

With a three-to-one combat power comparison, even if they cannot completely annihilate the pursuing Han army, they can at least hit them hard from a distance and drive them away...

Quinoa Xiangli thought so, but what happened next was beyond his expectation.

When he managed to climb up a hillside and saw the battle breaking out behind him, he couldn't help but be surprised! With a thousand men, Rizha did have an advantage in numbers, but in front of the incoming Han people, he was like a thousand headless sheep with only two horns, which they used to attack him. Human beings are weak and vulnerable when facing the Han people...

Although the number of Han people was small, they were extremely brave. They shouted and killed the Qiang people, and the shouts of killing were deafening. A battle flag with a black background and red stripes was floating on the hillside in the distance. There was no last name, but Quinoa Qianli knew that it must be the location of the Han general who was chasing him.

Because of the snow and the soft ground, the war horses couldn't run at all, and they couldn't even walk as fast as people. After all, the ankles of war horses are fragile. If they accidentally step on a hollow in the soft snow, they will almost suffer broken bones and tendons. Therefore, the Qiang people simply walk. There are not many Han people anyway.

But with only these three to four hundred people, these Han people were able to kill them wantonly under his eyes. This was simply something that the quinoa profit-making uncle could tolerate, but his aunt could not tolerate! Quinoa went to Li and decided to gather troops again and take this opportunity to kill these Han people here. This would relieve them of worries and improve the morale of some Qiang people.

Amidst the long horn sound, the somewhat panicked Qiang people gradually began to take action. Following the command of Qinmai Qianli, the other two thousand-man troops, like arms spread out to the left and right, began to circle the mountains and forests from the valley. They went to kill the Han generals and prepare to outflank and intercept them. The Rizha troops who were facing them head on seemed to have received a shot of blood, and they were more or less inspired to fight.

Rizha was both nervous and excited. He has been with Qinmai Qianli for many years, and has always been stuck in the position of leader of a thousand people. He thinks that he is good at martial arts, and he has many years of meritorious service, but he has never been able to get a position to enter the top ranks of the Qiang people. The opportunity has become a regret that he has never forgotten in his heart, and now, it seems that the opportunity suddenly appears in front of him. As long as he annihilates this troublesome Han army in front of him, maybe he can rely on this meritorious service to go one step further!

Think about it, even other Qiang-headed people did not gain anything under Ji County, but Tariza was able to defeat the Han troops. What is this if not an iron-clad achievement?

Rizha was thinking, waving his sword and shouting, tightly pressing the Han troops with his hands, and pushing up the Han people's flag on the hillside.

Now, coupled with the fact that Quinoa has sent people out to surround them, as long as the Han people are entangled here, it will definitely be a big victory!

Rizha shouted loudly: "The king has sent people to surround them, kill them! Encircle them and kill them!"

"Oh oh oh..." The Qiang people cheered up and crowded together, pushing each other to climb up.

"Boom! Boom boom boom..."

Rizha was directing the Qiang people to continue upward when he suddenly heard sounds that he was extremely familiar with and also extremely frightened about. These sounds were fast and dense, almost connected together, as if there were hundreds of crossbowmen firing at once.

"Crossbow!" Rizha suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He looked up, and at some point, under the black and red-striped battle flag, a row of crossbowmen stood out, holding crossbows and shooting downwards. , the crossbow arrows roared, as dense as locusts.

"What the hell! How can you still shoot your bow in this kind of weather!" Rizha shouted almost in despair. He didn't believe what he was seeing, but the bright red blood spurting out of the Qiang people who were shot reminded him, All of this is real, a reality scarier than a nightmare.

Most of the bowstrings of the Qiang people are made of animal rubber bands. In the snowy environment, no matter how carefully they are maintained, they will inevitably become loose due to moisture, making it impossible to fire the bow. Therefore, Rizha did not make any protective arrows and crossbows at all. The arrows were ready, but the Han people on the hillside seemed not to care about the weather restrictions at all. The powerful crossbow arrows were like sledgehammers, smashing down quickly and smashing the Qiang people together like mutton skewers. , one by one, shot on the spot one after another!

The Qiang people were shouting, screaming, crying, and were in chaos.

Corpses fell down one after another and rolled down the hillside, quickly destroying any trace of morale that the Qiang people had finally gathered. The Qiang people began to hold their heads, turn around and run away trembling, even if they were kicked. He stepped on the air and rolled down the hillside, unwilling to stay under the threat of the crossbow for a moment longer.

Rizha was not a smart-minded person to begin with. When he saw the sudden change in front of him, his mind went blank and buzzed. He was like a driver driving on the road for the first time. His whole body was sweating and he could move his eyes everywhere. There is no problem with my voice, but my hands and feet are stiff and inflexible...

Rizha misjudged the situation, and Quinoa Qianli also misjudged the ferocity of the black-armored Han people who were chasing them. I originally thought that there were only three or four hundred people in Quinoa, so even if they were piled up by hand, these black-armored Han people could be killed. At most, some of their subordinates would die, and the pressure of food and grass on the road was so great, even if they were killed, It doesn’t matter if you get a few, as long as the morale can be improved...

However, Quinoa Chuli had no idea that when this group of black-armored Han people saw the troops he sent to outflank him, not only did they not panic and try to break out, but they launched a more fierce counterattack against the Rizha troops!

The Rizha troops were immediately caught off guard!

"Damn it! Damn it!" Sweat broke out on Quinoa's anxious back. The cold wind blew, making him feel cold. "Hurry up and reorganize your formation. Go up, go up!"

Under the cover of the crossbow arrow, Meng Shu, as the tip of the arrow, went straight towards Rizha. With a roar, the sword in his hand struck straight towards Rizha like lightning.

At this time, Rizha no longer cared about commanding the troops. He first thought about his own life and quickly raised his sword to meet him, trying to remove Meng Shu's sword.

"Dang!"

With a roar, Meng Shu moved from top to bottom, and the momentum of sprinting increased. Although Rizha consciously tried to release the force, but he could not completely release it, a strong force came, and he couldn't help but grunted and staggered. After taking two steps back, the sword in his hand almost flew out of his hand!

Meng Shu succeeded with one blow, but he was even more unforgiving and struck three times in a row. Rizha did not dare to neglect and ignored the soreness of the tiger's mouth in his hand. He raised the knife with both hands and fought hard to meet him.

There were three almost connected sounds of weapons clashing. Sparks flew everywhere. The mouth of Rizha Tiger was cracked and blood spurted out. Even if he was holding the knife in both hands, he could not hold it. Seeing Meng Shu, he was... Rizha was shocked when the knife struck in the air. He couldn't help but let out a sharp roar. He mustered up his remaining strength and stopped trying to parry. He raised the knife and swept it across Meng Shu's waist and abdomen. It was actually a vicious move that would hurt both sides.

Meng Shu sneered, moved his left hand behind his back, turned his wrist, and actually put on a hook. He immediately held the sword that Rizha had chopped off, and then slashed Rizha's shoulder blade with the knife, cutting him down. land!

The hook set is a composite weapon that combines a small shield and a long hook. It is smaller and lighter than ordinary war shields. The shield is used for pushing and blocking, and the hook is used for binding. This kind of weapon has three functions: defense, hooking, and pushing. It is generally used in conjunction with the ring-shou sword, and is especially effective against weapons with twigs such as Changge.

Because most of the pre-Qin infantry used long spears, Meng Shu was naturally very proficient in weapons such as hooks, and he directly disrupted Rizha's offensive and treated him as a serious injury.

Several Qiang people who were following Rizha were shocked and rushed up one after another, trying to snatch Rizha back.

However, the rest of the Mengshi black-armored warriors did not agree and rushed forward. In addition, Meng Shu used the hook in his left hand and the sword in his right hand to smash and chop. At the same time, he also used the hook to cut and kill five people in a row. They were as powerful as tigers and were unstoppable. They killed the Qiang people to the point where they were in dire straits. They were in such a state of embarrassment that they retreated steadily.

Meng Shu cut off the dying Rizha's head with a knife, tied it up with a long hook, and raised it high in the air. "The enemy general has been beheaded! Kill these Qiang dogs!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Montessori black-armored warriors shouted together, their momentum like a rainbow.

The Qiang people's expressions suddenly changed with horror. They were shocked by the momentum of the Mengshi black-armored warriors. A thousand men besieged three to four hundred men, but not only could they not be captured, but they were also counterattacked by the opponent, and even the general was damaged. This may sound ridiculous, but when the cruel result happened, anyone at the scene The Qiang people no longer find it ridiculous, they just feel timid.

Seeing the Meng's black-armored warriors advancing step by step, Rizha's blood-stained head shaking in Meng Shu's hands, these Qiang people no longer had any intention of fighting with the Meng's warriors, and turned around and ran away...

Not only were the Qiang people under Rizha frightened, but even Quinoa Qianli was so frightened that he quickly blew his trumpet to ask the thousands-man team that was outflanked by the left and right wings to quickly change their route and join the Chinese army here. Otherwise, they would have to wait for the left and right flanks. The two wings rushed deep and shallow in the snow, and the black-armored warriors like Mengshi also followed the defeated soldiers of Rizha to fight in front of them!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The horn sounded urgently again, and the Qiang people on both sides, who were marching hard in the snow, looked at each other blankly, and some of the grumpy ones couldn't help but curse. Not everyone could clearly see what was happening on the front line of the Qiang people who were outflanked by the mountains and woodlands. Not long after they ran out, they suddenly received an order to change direction. Naturally, they were very surprised. .

Meng Shu pointed Rizha's head at Quinoa, laughed loudly and shouted: "Qiang dog! Do you dare to fight?"

More Montessori warriors also shouted: "Qiang dog! Do you dare to come and fight!"

The rumbling echo floated among the valleys, as if the whole world was following Mengshi and others to laugh at the Qiang people and ridicule the quinoa for profit.

Quinoa's face was livid, and he raised his hand and ordered: "Quick! Keep blowing the trumpet! Let the two wings come back and surround them! Kill these guys!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Turn around! Damn it! Turn around and go back!" Although the two-wing Qiang people in the valley did not fully understand what happened, they could not fake the order. No matter how much confusion they had in their hearts, they still had to follow the order. After doing something, they turned back one after another, stomping hard one step at a time, and rushed back...
