In the second year of Taiwu, August 16th, Longshan.
This is already the third day that the Flying Tiger Army has been besieged in Longshan.
At this time, Li Kan and a group of officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army stood on the Longshan Mountain, looking at everything in front of them with dry throats.
At the foot of Longshan Mountain, on the tidal flat on the north bank of the Daling River, people and horses were seen surging, and densely packed Wuhuan Tu cavalry were advancing westward along the Daling River.
They were like a swift current, impacting the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army on Longshan Mountain.
Because the Wuhuan people, like the Han people, are red, so for a while, the entire foot of Longshan was filled with an endless tide of blood, as if the entire world was wrapped in blood.
Li Kan was also Lu Zhi's general, and he also had excellent military qualities.
He looked at the Wuhuan Tuqi who were racing westward at the foot of the slope. He simply estimated that there were five or six thousand riders. Moreover, there were still an unknown number of people in the direction of Liucheng in the east, as far as the eye could see.
Li Kan couldn't help but glance at Xu Huang, who was still calm and composed, and asked:
"Captain Xu, why are the enemy troops coming out in such numbers?"
Xu Huang glanced at the officials around him and saw that they also looked panicked, so he laughed:
"What are you doing? You just came to scare us during a horse race."
After saying that, Xu Huang also pointed at a Wuhuan knight in the distance:
"These Wuhuan people have been with us Han people for a long time, and they have begun to use deception. I have seen that Wuhuan person three times in this moment. These Wuhuan people are like this, and they still want to scare me? "
Although I don’t know how Xu Huang could clearly see a Wuhuan knight from such a distance and still see it every time. But at this moment, his words really strengthened everyone’s military morale.
Not everyone's beliefs are indestructible. Although the Flying Tiger officers and soldiers present are loyal and brave enough, they will still be shaken in their hearts.
At this time, it is necessary for the commander-in-chief Xu Huang to convince them and make them persist.
But Xu Huang could inspire others, but in his heart he knew very well what these Wuhuan people were going to do.
Obviously, when the frontal attack was unfavorable, these Wuhuan people tried to attack from the east and west. Moreover, the opposite side did not hide this intention at all, just exposing it to the Taishan Army.
But even if Xu Huang knew it, what could he do?
Since yesterday, there is only the last bit of water left in the army, which is reserved for the wounded. The frontline officers have not received a drop of water from yesterday to today.
And now there are only 500 soldiers in the entire army. It is barely enough to defend Longshan, so why divide the troops to defend Dongxishan?
But the harder the hardship, the more perseverant Xu Huang became.
He noticed a group of Wuhuan cavalry at the bottom of the slope surrounded by a trident flag.
This battle flag is very distinctive. The overall shape is a trident, with tassels made of horsehair floating on each branch of the trident.
Then a flag made of white brocade was tied to the long handle, with a picture of a galloping horse painted on the satin.
Seeing Xu Huang staring at the flag, Li Kan explained:
"I have been a slave for half a year, and I know a little bit about the situation of the Wuhuan tribe. This totem flag is the totem of the Wuhuan people's Muma tribe. This tribe is also the majority of the Wuhuan people, and it is the Taton tribe. In the belly.”
As he spoke, he also pointed out other flags to Xu Huang, including "wolf head flag", "deer head flag", etc.
Suddenly, Li Kan pointed solemnly at a large black paper and said:
"Xu Xiaowei, it seems that you have really cornered the Wuhuan people and sacrificed all the black banners."
Seeing that no one understood what he meant, Li Kan explained:
"This black flag is the death battle flag of the Wuhuan people. Once this flag is raised, the blood will not flow dry and they will fight to the death without retreating."
These words were coaxing, but Xu Huang laughed and ignored them. He turned to Li Kan and said:
"You were once the general of Lu Zhenbei. I think you are very good at shooting. Can you help me capture the Wuhuan general under the galloping horse?"
Li Kan raised his eyes and glanced at the big banner, and saw that there was indeed a rather young Wuhuan chieftain under the banner, who was also looking at himself and others on the slope.
Beside the chief, there were three strong Wuhuan warriors, all wearing rare iron armor. They were pointing the way up the slope to the chief, as if they were introducing tactics for a while.
After appraising the distance, Li Kan said discouragedly:
"It's two hundred steps away from here. Even when I was in good health, I couldn't shoot this far, let alone now."
As he spoke, he pointed at his skinny body, looking helpless.
Xu Huang also smiled. He pointed at himself and said:
"If Li Jun can be trusted, I can shoot that Wuhuan general!"
Li Kan was stunned for a moment, feeling that General Taishan in front of him was joking.
Then, without waiting for Li Kan to speak, Xu Huang raised his bow and arrow, pulled the string, and shot at the Wuhuan chieftain under the galloping horse.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow broke through the air, and then unsurprisingly struck the soil fifty or sixty steps away from Chief Wuhuan. The tail of the arrow was still trembling.
Li Kan was dumbfounded.
No, Lieutenant Xu, you are so bragging about me at this level, don’t you know that you are making a fool of yourself?
Sure enough, the few warriors under the banner were startled when they heard the sound of arrows piercing the air, and they opened their bodies to protect the chieftain under the banner.
But when they saw the arrow inserted fifty or sixty steps away from them, they all burst into laughter.
Even the chieftain reacted from the shock, and then laughed wildly.
Perhaps in order to humiliate the Han people on the opposite side, or to show off his reputation for bravery, the chief even took more than ten steps forward.
Then he turned around and enthusiastically mocked the enemy's weakness and embarrassment in Wuhuan dialect to the people behind him.
But Xu Huang on the Longshan Mountain didn't care, even if he saw the chief and deliberately stepped forward leisurely.
He just pulled up his bow and arrow again, and then shot another arrow under the indifferent gaze of the Wuhuan people.
"thump."
This was the sound of Chief Wuhuan of the Galloping Horse Tribe falling to the ground after being hit by an arrow.
The Wuhuan warriors all around opened their mouths in shock, not knowing why their chieftain fell like this.
All the officials on Longshan Mountain, including Xu Shang who had followed Xu Huang for the longest time, opened their mouths wide, and then the slope erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Xu Huang's divine call for an arrow boosts morale too much!
Putting his bow and arrow on the ground, Xu Huang turned to the stunned Li Kan and asked:
"Do you think I was lucky with this arrow? Or am I smart?"
Li Kan couldn't answer.
Xu Huang didn't need an answer, he just ordered to his excited subordinates:
"The enemy will attack after a while. Let the brothers maintain their strength. Each team will fight for two seconds before retreating and replacing the next team. Do you understand?"
All the officials shouted:
"clear!"
Sure enough, a moment later, the galloping troops originally heading west stopped and began to assemble on the tidal flat south of Longshan.
Under the same banner with the galloping horse and the trident, the owner was replaced by a young man with red eyes.
He was cursing something angrily at the Wuhuan warriors in front of him.
Soon, the three majestic warriors who were wearing iron armor and standing under the big banner were now stripped of their armor, wearing animal skins, and rushed towards the dragon mountain with a group of dead soldiers.
In this way, the final fierce battle in Longshan began.
…
There is never any equality in this world. Some people miss the night to rush to the examination room, and some people resign and return to their hometown.
While Xu Huang and a group of flying tiger troops were fighting for their lives in Longshan, our Jin Machao was leisurely eating roast chicken.
The chicken is a rare chicken in the ridge, and the branches are pine branches on the ridge.
Completely ignoring the fact that burning a fire would attract the Wuhuan people, our Ma Chao ate meat generously.
After finishing the last chicken leg, Ma Chao thought about it and decided to eat the chicken butt.
When the juicy fat exploded in his mouth, Ma Chao hummed happily.
While Ma Chaoda was enjoying his meal, an untimely moving sound at his feet broke the comfort of the moment.
A Wuhuan man who had been beaten until his face was completely unrecognizable was having his hands, feet and mouth bound, and was struggling like a pig.
The sound just now was made by him.
Ma Chao wiped off the oil on his fingers, stood up slowly, and then naturally stepped on the Wuhuan man's crotch.
As Ma Chao continued to exert force, his center of gravity continued to shift toward his feet. The Wuhuan man trembled visibly, and then his face became pale and distorted.
Ma Chao ignored his feet, bit his nails with his teeth, and said to himself:
"You guys, you should learn more. I feel a little regretful now. If only I knew a little Wuhuan, I wouldn't need to trouble you to come over and ask something. Although my father is a fool, he has
It is true that there are many languages and many roads. So you may not look at me like a martial artist, but I can speak Qiang and Yuezhi dialects. But in the end, my father was not reliable and took our brothers to the north.
Jianghun, didn’t that teach us the art of slaying dragons?”
After saying that, Ma Chao let go of his feet and said bitterly:
"Damn it, in Northern Xinjiang, even if we can speak Qiang, it's useless!"
After saying that, Ma Chao "accidentally" stepped on the same spot.
With a muffled groan, the Wuhuan man at his feet rolled his eyes and fainted.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Wuhuan opened his eyes again, he found that the Han man’s nightmare was still there, and even his posture had not changed.
Just when he saw the Han man raising his feet again, the man finally collapsed.
He whimpered, tears couldn't stop rolling in his eyes.
Ma Chao looked distressed and asked:
"Oh, you mean to cooperate, but you have to loosen your mouth first, right?"
Then Ma Chao really bent down and released the Wuhuan man's mouth, and then when the Wuhuan man was about to speak, he said:
"If you think about it, this place is good everywhere. From the perspective of us Han people, it's a good auspicious point, but it's a little off. You won't meet anyone for a long time."
Then this Wuhuan man started chattering in Wuhuan dialect, looking very cooperative.
Ma Chao sighed, pinched Wu Huanren's neck, then gently patted the man's cheek and whispered:
"Why do you think there are so many Wuhuan people and I chose you? Because birds of a feather flock together. I took a quick look and found that you are just like me. You are the kind of person who loves to learn, right?"
"No need to shake your head, you didn't understand, why are you shaking your head! Who asked you, a bitch, to speak fluent Chinese in front of those Han slaves? You bitch is really good, and the Luoyang Zhengyin is even better than Naigong. Damn you
, what a talent!”
"So for the sake of both being talented people, be good and let me ask you questions so that I can be more gentle."
