Three Kingdoms

The grassland in the early morning is full of emerald green, stretching all the way to the mountainside, and then becomes darker under the change of light and shadow.

The breeze blew, and the long and thin grass leaves swayed, and the crystal dew slowly rolled down the leaves, like a transparent pearl, exuding colorful brilliance.

Through the crystal clear dew, you can see a few scattered tents not far away, and a large circle of wooden fences surrounding some cattle and sheep...

The curtain of the tent patched with thick cloth was lifted, and a bearded girl carrying a cauldron at her waist walked out. Although the large sheepskin robe was old, it was still clean, and it looked slightly flimsy. Trembling slightly in the air.

Hu Nu hummed an unknown tune in her mouth, moved to the back of the tent, pushed open the half-person-high fence, and came to a cow.

First, he cut some hay and put it in the cow trough to feed the cow. Then he scratched the cow's neck and patted it twice.

The cow gave a low moo, grinding hay in her mouth, and turned her dark eyes around, as if she was smiling slightly.

Hu Nu squatted down and got close to the cow's belly. First she breathed in her hands, then rubbed her hands together several times to soften the palms. Then she reached out and took out a swollen piece of milk. Squeeze gently.

The snow-white milk splashed into the cauldron, making a sizzling sound and stirring up a shallow layer of foam...

A black-billed sparrow flew over, then landed on the grass, tilted its head slightly, then jumped forward with its legs, lowered its head and pecked something on the ground.

Suddenly, the black-billed sparrow suddenly raised its head, stiffened its neck, and tilted its head as if listening to something. Then it kicked off its legs and flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The sparrow flew higher and higher, passing through the vast grassland in a blink of an eye, and then flew over a small hillside. Suddenly, it saw the cavalry sweeping in like dark clouds covering the ground. It immediately shook its wings in panic, flapped two or three feathers, and fled. Go high into the sky...

Gentle and soft gray-white feathers floated down in the air, and then were blown by the wind carried by the cavalry below, and disappeared in an instant without knowing where they were.

The thunderous sound of horse hooves was heard, shaking the ground as if it was trembling.

The Hu girl in front of the tent was walking back with a half-filled cauldron of milk, but she saw that the milk in the cauldron began to ripple in circles, and a few drops of milk even jumped out due to the shock...

A shadow came over him.

A tricolor flag slowly rose from the top of the hillside. A knight revealed his figure with the sun on his back. His face was completely hidden in the shadows. Only the long sword on the horse's back could be seen flashing with a frightening light. light.

Hu Nu's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, her hands loosened, and the small copper cauldron fell straight to the ground, milk splashing everywhere...

More and more cavalry were revealed on the hillside, standing in a dense line of darkness. Horses of various colors snorted and puffed out hot air, covering the figures of these cavalry with a twisted layer of mist.

Amidst the sharp and pitiful screams of the Hu girl, Ma Yue raised the long knife in his hand, and the cavalry immediately rode down. Like a big crab, it stretched out two thick long claws and aimed at the Hu man in front of him. Tribe clip away...

The sound of horns sounded in the sky, and many barbarians came out of the tents, either holding bows and arrows, or grabbing a long knife, but they were already a step too late.

Dozens of arrows were like drawing lines, nailed to the open space in front of the tent. The black arrow shafts and white arrow feathers seemed to mark a restricted area, freezing the movements of these barbarians. Living.

Although no one said a word and no one shouted loudly, these arrows were full of strong intimidation and warning. Everyone knew that if there were any more hostile actions, the next batch of arrows would be It should be pierced into the human body...

Ma Yue sat on the horseback without even glancing at the panicked tribesmen. Instead, he focused his attention on the group of cavalry under him, watching them galloping around. It was twisted several times like a twist, cutting the entire Hu tribe into scattered small pieces.

The Hu cavalry, or the cavalry of the Southern Huns, may be due to their own shortcomings or innate adaptations. Compared with the Bingzhou Han cavalry, they are more skilled and have a better understanding.

Ma Yue had been observing and summarizing before. When the barbarians charged and attacked, they basically did not need special orders. They looked like a mess when they first started running, but during the charge, they gradually became more and more chaotic. Automatically and spontaneously change into the sharp formation!

The most special thing is that no one can be seen guiding the scheduling during the whole process. It is like the instinct carved in the body of the barbarian, easily adjusting the rhythm and pace of the attack.

This kind of tacit cooperation within a small-scale team was a skill that Ma Yue originally lacked the most.

But now, it seems to be making up for it bit by bit.

Compared to previous times, it feels much smoother...

Ma Yue raised his chin slightly and sat upright on the horse's back. The guards behind him also held the battle flag, as steady as a mountain. They did not issue any orders, but relied entirely on the automatic adjustment of the soldiers and low-ranking non-commissioned officers. This kind of spontaneous and subtle cooperation can more effectively adapt to changes in the battlefield. Soldiers do not need to pay attention to the movements of the central battle flag all the time. They only need to cooperate with their surrounding comrades and follow the orders of low-ranking non-commissioned officers. Just make arrangements.

In other words, the original cavalry of the Han people was strong and powerful, but slightly lacking in agility. It was like a mechanical puppet. Every move had to be coordinated and directed by the central commander. Slowness and stiffness were difficult to avoid. Now we are learning Hu The human cavalry mode is like adding some lubricant to the joints of the human puppet, the cavalry...

"Raise the flag! Sound the horn!" Ma Yue ordered after seeing that the entire tribal scene was basically under control.

A double-headed Golden Crow battle flag was raised high, and Yu Feiqian's three-color battle flags were juxtaposed. At the same time, the desolate and distant horn horn also sounded at the same time...

After receiving the signal, Ma Yue's cavalry began to shout in brief nonsense, ordering all the people in the small tribe to kneel down, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed!

The hooves of the war horses were flying, and the little grass blades were shuttled around the tent. Short and blunt nonsense was repeated, which could not be resisted or questioned, with a rusty and bloody atmosphere.

Within the Hu tribe, some people were holding their heads and howling in fear, some were looking left and right with their eyes wide open, and some were holding on to something around them tightly, as if using it to provide them with the strength to stand. .

An old hand slowly opened a corner of the tent, revealing a little cold light...

The composition of the Hu people in Bingzhou is very complex, with Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuheng living together, and most of the remaining Han people here are also Hu people...

In addition, the author Jun Kusi searched the Internet for more than two hours, but he couldn't find anything about the meaning of ancient flags...

Just found some…

The dog flag represents the crossbowmen...

The flag with colorful feathers on the end of the pole represents the halberdier...

The feather flag represents the shield soldier...

The dragon flag represents chariots and soldiers (already abandoned in the Han Dynasty)...

The bird flag represents the cavalry...

The goshawk flag represents the death squads (death squads)...

The tiger flag represents the main force...

The double rabbit flag represents the reserve team...
