Chapter 107 Butcher(1/3)
Chapter 107 The Butcher
The next day, after the three drums, the generals gathered in the conference hall. Ma Yue was about to dispatch all the generals and was about to go to war when he suddenly saw Guo Tu leading Hou San hurried inside.
"Lord, emergency military information."
"speak!"
Hou San shrank and flashed to Guo Tu's side and said, "General, two days ago, the Xianbei people attacked the old Wuhuan camp in Shanggu, and abducted the women, children and animals of the Wuhuan people."
"Um!?"
Ma Yue's eyes were like a knife and a wolf staring at Hou San. Hou San shivered and quickly avoided his gaze. He did not dare to look directly at Ma Yue's horrifying gaze. A cold smile appeared on the corner of Ma Yue's mouth. Although Hou San's eyes were shocked, they were not as chaotic as they were lying. As long as they were not a spy from Xianbei, this guy was indeed an excellent candidate for intelligence work.
Jia Xu stroked the willow beard and said to Ma Yue: "Lord, this is an opportunity! Why not just use this group of Xianbei people to attack."
Guo Tu said again: "Lord, I just received a reply from the horse exploration. The siege of Ji County has been resolved without fighting."
"oh?"
Ma Yue's expression moved, but Xian Yufu looked surprised and asked, "Sir, what you said is true?"
"Of course it's true." Guo Tu frowned and said coldly, "Besides, the Wuhuan rebels outside the city were divided into two groups. Na Lou Lai led 7,000 of the cavalry to advance north. According to the officials, Na Lou Lai probably wanted to intercept the women, children and animals before the Xianbei people crossed the Great Wall."
Ma Yue's eyes turned cold, he rose up, and walked to the north wall. A huge piece of brocade was hanging on it. On the brocade, there was Zou Yuniang and Liu Yan spent several nights embroidering the enlarged version of the Youzhou military topography map.
Guo Tu walked to Ma Yue, pointed to a place on the map and said, "Lord, this is Juyong. The old camp of the Wuhuan tribe in Shanggu County is located on the grassland more than a hundred miles north of Juyong."
Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "Where did the Xianbei people cross the Great Wall and enter the Pass?"
Hou San whispered: "Return to General~General, is it ~ Entering the Great Wall from Gubeikou to the Earth."
Guo Tu pointed to a place in the central and northern part of Yuyang County and said to Ma Yue: "Lord, Gubeikou is here."
A hint of coldness flashed through Jia Xu's eyes, and he asked again: "Hou San, do you know where the Xianbei people plan to come out of seclusion?"
Hou San said: "No~not sure, no~but~as per convention. The Xianbei people entered the pass from Gubeikou and would not leave here. They should rob the pass along the way, from Shanggu or Youbeiping."
Jia Xu said: "Lord, Gongsun Zan's 20,000 official troops were confronting Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's 20,000 rebels in Feiru, western Liaoning, and only a few hundred miles away from Youbeiping. The officials thought that the Xianbei people could not choose to leave the pass from Youbeiping."
"Lord, the lower official also thinks that Wenhe's analysis is reasonable. Xianbei people are likely to go to Shanggu County, from here~~" Guo Tu patted a place on the topographic map and said in a deep voice, "Alashankou is out of the pass."
"Um!?"
An inexplicable chill suddenly appeared in Ma Yue's eyes. Alashankou is only a hundred miles away from Ning County! It is the only channel between Shanggu County and the outside world.
"How many people do the Xianbei people have?"
Hou Sandao: "More than five to five thousand cavalry."
"More than 5,000 cavalry?" Jia Xu said. "Lord, there is no huge difference in military strength. Moreover, the Xianbei people do not know the existence of our army, so they can attack him and catch him off guard. Our army is 90% sure to win this battle."
Ma Yue nodded indifferently and asked the Hou three times: "How long will the Xianbei people arrive at Alashan Pass?"
Hou Sandao: "Although the Xianbei people were all cavalrymen, they could drive away women, children, cattle and sheep, and they also had to plunder people and livestock along the way. It would probably take about five days to go from Wuhuan Laoying to Alashan Pass."
"Five days!?" Ma Yue looked at the map and pondered for a moment, then turned around suddenly and said sternly. "Come here, Lao Hei~~"
...
Danhan Mountain and Baishan meet north-south 100 miles northeast of Ning County, forming a mountain pass, which is the Alashan Pass. The ancient Great Wall of Yanzhao is built on both sides of the mountain pass, but it is mostly destroyed. There were fortresses built at the mountain pass, but it has long been submerged in the destruction of wind and sand. Now there is only a desert beach left~~
The Alashan Pass is east-west. It is more than a hundred feet wide. There are small hills in it, and the mountains on both sides are gentle. Crossing the Alashan Pass is an endless grassland outside the frontier, while the mountain pass is undulating and low hilly terrain. The inside and outside terrain are conducive to cavalry galloping, so this place has been a battlefield since ancient times.
Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty and the prefect of Youbeiping, once led 10,000 elite cavalry from here to attack the Huns. Unfortunately, he encountered the main force of the Huns and his entire army was destroyed, and even he almost became a prisoner.
The wind blew, and the yellow sand was rolling.
The scorching sun that had been raging for a whole day finally fell from the ridge on the west side. When the sunset gradually retreated, the sky finally became dark and the night could come unstoppable.
The sky is like a hut, the stars are dim, and the fields are vast.
In the Alashan Pass, among the undulating hills, a bustling sound suddenly sounded. A bright torch rose leisurely from behind the ridge, instantly cutting through the vastness between the sky and the wilderness. Then, more and more mutton fat torches emerged from behind the ridge.
Under the red light of fire, a complex and huge team was spreading all over the mountains.
The carriages were scattered, the horses roared, and hundreds of Xianbei warriors wore scimitars on their waists and long bows on their shoulders. They roared forward from the huge team of land. They stopped in front of the Alasan Pass. The Xianbei warriors led by the head were majestic and thoughtful. They turned around and glanced at the slow-moving team, with a trace of dissatisfaction flashing through their eyes.
This man with a deep thought face was a famous warrior in the tribe of Qujin and Tulu's most confidant general. He had no surname and was named Lang Yu. Before the Xianbei king was good at Shihuai, the Xianbei people didn't know what the surname was. After Shihuai was good at unifying the Xianbei, the Xianbei people had the saying of surnames, but only a very small number of nobles were worthy of having surnames.
"These Wuhuan lowly people are walking very slowly. It seems that they can't pass the gap tonight~" Wolf Howl breathed a sigh of relief and frowned, "Send the order and set up camp in the gap and leave the customs early tomorrow morning."
"General~General.Wolf~~"
As the wolf howl finished speaking, a Xianbei cavalry suddenly felt hissing, and a hint of fear appeared in his voice.
The wolf howls and eyes are unhappy. The children on the grassland have been used to seeing tigers and leopards since childhood. How can they still be afraid of jackals? Although the Xianbei people regard wolves as their totems and believe in wolves as the spirit of all things, this does not mean that they will not hunt wild wolves. On the contrary, the warriors in the clan are proud to hunt wolves and obtain wolves' fangs.
The Xianbei people, like the Huns, were all nations that advocated force. The harsh living environment created their barbaric customs. The concept of killing and the prey on the weak have been integrated into their bones. Even for the gods they believed in, their way of expressing awe was very different from that of the people in the Central Plains.
"Wolf~What a big wolf~~"
The wolf howl was about to scold her, and several Xianbei cavalry exclaimed. And a gurgling sound turned deep in their throats, as if there was cold fear spreading endlessly between the world~~
"Um!?"
The wolf howl slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Xianbei cavalry staring. After seeing it, he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. He could no longer look away~~
There was a clear moon rising from behind the ridge, as bright as a silver plate.
The faint light shines down, reflecting the coldness of the deserted wilderness. On the ridge, a majestic lone wolf sat proudly. The bright moon sets behind it and turns into a dazzling background~~Although it is hundreds of steps away, the wolf howling seems to be able to clearly feel the indifference emitted by the lone wolf, Xiao Su~~
The wolf howling could even clearly feel that the thick wolf hair on the lonely wolf was shaking gently in the cold evening breeze~~
"Aowu~~"
Under the gaze of the wolf howl and hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, the lonely wolf looked forward leisurely and roared to the sky. In an instant, the loud howl of the wolf resounded through the sky~~
"Aowu~~"
"Aowu~~"
Amid the loud and suffocating howling, the lonely wolf stood up proudly, shook the cold wolf hair on its body against the bright moonlight, and slowly disappeared behind the ridge. In the world, its howling was still stirring, as if countless wild wolves were responding, howling long~~
"I want to kill it!" A trace of cold murderous intent flashed through the wolf howling's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "That's a wolf king! The king of the grassland!"
If the wolf king can be hunted and removed, the wolf howl can use the wolf teeth as a betrothal gift to marry the daughter of the Kuitou King. The wolf howl will also transform into a Xianbei nobleman.
"Look, it's fire, it's on fire~~"
“What a big fire~”
“The whole mountain bun is burning~”
The attendant's howling woke the wolf howl from the illusion. Looking up, the wolf howl's eyes contracted instantly. I saw that the hill that the wolf king had just occupied was burning, and in an instant it turned into a burning mountain of flames. The rolling flames soared into the sky, and the red flames illuminated the whole world as bright as day!
"Look, something is coming out from the ground in front of the fire~~"
"Hiss~~What's that?"
"God, it seems to be a wolf, God, it's the wolf king just now~"
"Oh my God, why did it come out from the ground? Ah~~ I was still riding a horse, holding weapons~~"
"It's coming out, it's coming out, it's really riding a horse~~"
The attendants howled and trembled, and their voices were filled with inexplicable fear.
The wolf howl's eyes shrank in an instant, and he also saw the terrifying scene.
With the burning flames as the background, a huge head suddenly appeared on the flat and dark horizon, a wolf's head! Against the backdrop of the burning flames, the wolf's head gradually rose and finally rose completely above the horizon~~The whole body was covered with iron-thorned horses, dark knights, ferocious heavenly wolf helmets, and bloody fangs~~
"Hiss~~"
The hissing sound rang behind the wolf howl. These Xianbei warriors who regarded death as nothing felt inexplicable fear at this moment!
When the fire swallowed the earth, riding a horse covered with iron thorns and wrapped in the wolf king's helmet, "butcher (I didn't find the Xianbei demon god's residence, I hope there is a warm book friend to provide it)" will tear the ground and come from the burning purgatory to the earth. The grassland will become the Shura Blood Prison, and countless people will die in pain. On the grassland, the spells passed by shamans and witches inevitably flew across the minds of the Xianbei warriors.
It's so similar, everything is so similar! The burning Flame Mountain. Knights rise from the horizon, the hideous wolf king helmet, and the horse covered with iron thorns. Butcher, is it really the butcher who tore the ground and came to the earth from the burning purgatory? Is the catastrophe on the grassland really coming?
These foolish Xianbei people naturally did not know that the shaman witches were just pretending to be a ghost. Ma Yue used the shaman witches' praises to carefully design such a terrifying appearance ceremony. When everything fits perfectly with the appearance of the "butcher" in the hearts of Xianbei people, the fear and awe of Xianbei people also came naturally~~
"Xilulu~~"
The "butcher" horse covered with iron thorns suddenly stood up, and its strong forelimbs kicked in the air, landed heavily, galloped towards the Xianbei people~~
“It’s coming~”
"That ghost thing is here~"
"Run quickly~ otherwise we will die~~"
The Xianbei people retreated one after another.
"Don't be afraid~~Don't be afraid~~" Wolf Howl pulled out the scimitar, and the cold moonlight shone on the sharp blade and emitted a cold reflection. Wolf Howl lifted the scimitar over the top. She swung it forward and shouted shrillly, "What's the matter! The children on the grassland are descendants of the Tianlang God Land. The Tianlang will protect us and kill the butcher from hell. The warriors of the Gojin Tribe, muster up your courage and follow me~~Kill~~"
"Gray Law~~"
The wolf howl harbored the horse's belly, and the war horse neighed. She greeted the "butcher" galloping towards the galloping ", and behind the wolf howl, hundreds of Xianbei warriors finally gathered up their courage and pulled out their scimitars and rode their horses to chase them~~
The bright moon is in the sky, the flames are beating, hundreds of Xianbei warriors swept into the wind like the wind and the broken clouds, sweeping towards the Alashan Pass, running less than a hundred steps. When they were about to collide with the "butcher" who was rushing towards them, a sudden change occurred~~
"Xilulu~~"
The mount with iron spikes on the butcher's crotch sounded again, and the man stood up, kicked his legs several times in a row, stopping the forward rushing momentum.
