Everyone looked in the direction where Ma Chao's gun was pointing, and saw Moya holding a bow and arrow, hiding behind a tent, trying to aim at the three Xianbei guards.
Moya heard the words just now clearly. He had seen the powerful force of the Han cavalry, so he was naturally convinced of the fate of the three Xianbei guards in the duel, so he did not use cold arrows, but he did not expect Ma Chao.
He actually pointed to his own campus to cultivate immortality.
Moya looked slightly startled, then slowly walked out from behind the tent and asked: "General, do you want me to duel with those Xianbei people?"
Ma Chao nodded and said: "That's right! Haven't you always wanted to avenge your tribe? Haven't you always wanted to rebuild your tribe? Now the opportunity is before you, it depends on whether you can seize it. As long as you
After defeating those three Xianbei people, all the cattle, sheep, property, women and children in this camp belong to you, and you will be their new leader!"
Moya hesitated. As the son of a tribal leader, he had been learning archery, horseback riding, and archery since he was a child. He was naturally good at martial arts. The clues could be seen from the way he killed the enemy with one arrow just now. However, after being a soldier for such a long time, he hesitated.
As a prisoner, he didn't even have a chance to touch weapons, and his martial arts skills were already a lot rusty. He took aim at the arrow just now and took a long time to shoot it because he didn't have confidence in himself.
However, the conditions proposed by Ma Chao were too generous. There were many women in this camp who were former Xianbei Khans. Just thinking about it made Moya's blood boil. Now, as long as he kills the three Xianbei people in front of him, these women will all be
His. And there are countless properties in the camp. With the support of these properties, he can realize his ambition of restoring his tribe and carrying it forward.
The danger was obvious, but the temptation was too great. Desire finally defeated reason. Moya gritted his teeth, walked a few steps forward, and picked up a saber on the ground. It was a weapon left behind by a Han cavalryman after he died in battle.
.Moya saw clearly from behind just now that the sabers equipped by the Han cavalry were much more powerful than the scimitars they were used to. If he was lucky enough, he could even cut off the opponent's scimitar and face the enemy with bare hands.
, it will turn into a one-sided massacre.
Being able to endure the humiliation and bear the burden of being a prisoner shows that Moya is a very scheming person. He picked up a saber and an ownerless horse, but he did not immediately challenge the three Xianbei guards.
He raised his hands and asked Ma Chao, "Excuse me, general, are the three of them coming together or one by one?"
Moya is very cunning. On the surface, he was asking about Ma Chao, but he said it in Xianbei dialect. People on the grassland revere warriors. If three fight one, it may not mean anything when the two armies confront each other, but
In a duel, even if you win, it is not a glorious thing.
Sure enough, before Ma Chao understood what he meant, the three Xianbei guards over there had already shouted in unison: "Of course, one by one!"
Moya's plan succeeded, and he couldn't help but feel proud secretly. He pointed his saber at the Xianbei guard on the far left and said, "You come first!"
The three Xianbei guards are all tall and tall, but the right arm of the guard on the far left was obviously injured in the battle just now. The blood stained the whole arm red, and the scimitar has been handed over to his left hand. For most people,
Generally speaking, the left hand is not very flexible when wielding a knife. Moya's plan is to get the upper hand.
The injured Xianbei guard did not hesitate at all. He reined in his horse and rushed over. Moya also shouted angrily and waved to meet him. The moment the two horses met, Moya suddenly lowered his head and raised his saber above his head.
He was holding the scimitar of the Xianbei guard. With a "choking" sound, the scimitar broke into two pieces. Moya stabbed the Xianbei guard in the chest without hesitation.
It can be seen from this move that Moya is very thoughtful. The reason why he chose the target as the opponent's chest instead of the head is because he lowered his head just now and it would take more time to reach the opponent's head.
A lot of strength. He changed from chopping to stabbing because he considered that although this sword cut off the opponent's scimitar, it also consumed most of the power. If he still used chopping, it would not be enough to cause fatal damage to the opponent. No.
After the guidance of a famous master, Moya was able to make such a wise decision in an instant. If he could meet a good master, his martial arts would definitely improve by leaps and bounds, but he no longer had such an opportunity.
Moya had calculated everything, but he failed to calculate that his opponent was determined to die. Facing his stabbing knife, the Xianbei guard did not dodge at all, but continued to meet him. With a "pop" sound,
The saber pierced the chest of the Xianbei guard, and almost at the same time, Moya also felt a chill on his neck. Before dying, the guard tried his best to cut off Moya's head with half of the scimitar in his hand.
Moya's dream completely disappeared with this knife. In fact, Moya's fate has been doomed from the beginning. He is an ambitious guy. Even if Ma Chao is willing to let him go, Liu Xin cannot let him go.
Ma Chao is a man who respects heroes, and such a heroic opponent deserves the respect of anyone. But Liu Xin gave a death order for this battle and all adult Xianbei men must be killed. He had no reason to let go of the man in front of him.
Two Xianbei guards. Ma Chao waved his hand and said softly to the two soldiers beside him: "Come on."
These two Han cavalrymen were Ma Chao's personal soldiers, and their martial arts were taught by Ma Chao, so they were naturally unusual. After receiving Ma Chao's order, the two cavalrymen clamped their legs on the horse's belly, and the two horses were like arrows leaving the string.
He rushed out, and his riding skills alone were unparalleled by Moya's. The two Xianbei guards were also unambiguous, shouting strangely and coming towards them. The four horsemen just met each other, and the winner was already decided.
The bodies of the two Xianbei guards swayed on their horses, and they fell to the ground together. The sabers of the Han cavalry had cut their throats just now, but the two Han cavalry also respected their bravery and did not use them.
He tried his best and left a whole corpse for them.
The battle was over. According to the rules on the grassland, the remaining women and children in the camp would not resist. Although there were only eighty-seven people left in the Han cavalry, they still successfully killed all the women and children in the camp.
Gathered together.
There were more people in the camp than Ma Chao expected. In addition to Jian Man and the woman he inherited from his father, the wives and children of the guards and the wives and children of many nobles in the tribe also stayed in the camp. These people are not needed
Herdsmen who go to the grassland to herd sheep have all the items they need provided by other herdsmen in the tribe. So these people basically stay in the camp, and there are as many as 5,000 people.
The bravery of the Han cavalry was clearly visible to everyone. The two hundred guards in the camp were already the top warriors among their tribes. However, in the face of one hundred Han cavalry, the entire army was wiped out, and the Han army was completely wiped out.
The casualties were only a negligible number of thirteen people. Facing such a powerful opponent, these Xianbei people, who were mainly women, children and the elderly, naturally had no chance of winning. But there were more than 5,000 of them. If they escaped separately, no matter what,
Nor would they be completely wiped out by the Han army.
But they did not do this, and 1,500 of them were slaves. Many families in this camp were nobles, and each family owned a considerable number of slaves. According to the rules on the grassland, even among tribes
When a war breaks out, regardless of victory or defeat, the identities of these slaves will not change. The only thing that may change is changing their masters, so they will not run away and there is no need to run away.
Most of the remaining noble families are old, weak, women and children. After leaving the camp, they will directly face the harsh environment, especially those cunning wolves on the grassland. Therefore, unless they have to, they would rather die in battle than escape.
.
The more important reason is that Jianman is in the camp. He is the son of Helian Khan and must maintain a certain dignity and cannot wander on the grassland like a bereaved dog. Jianman cannot leave, and the others have no choice but to stay.
Accompanying him, they became prisoners together.
When Ma Chao faced so many prisoners, the first thing he did was to execute adult men according to the rules of the grassland. Adult men were not classified according to age, but according to height. Anyone taller than a wheel would be considered
He is a grown man. Some boys are only ** years old and suffer disaster because they grow taller.
The Xianbei men and the half-grown children who were selected through this criterion were escorted outside the camp and stood in a row. The Han cavalry galloped past them, waving their sabers and heads rolling in.
The dust and blood dyed the grass all red. The smell of blood attracted many vultures, which flew from all directions and hovered in the sky, waiting to enjoy this feast.
Among those who were killed were not only the men of the Jianman tribe, but also the vast majority of slaves. Ma Chao did not let these slaves become masters like he did at noon, not because there were no Han people among these slaves, but because of this
There are too many slaves in the camp. Once they become masters, this new tribe will soon become a decisive force on the grassland, which is contrary to their original intentions.
After this round of bloody massacre, only 2,000 of the 5,000 captives remained, all of whom were young women and children.
Ma Chao rode his horse slowly past them and said in a deep voice: "Who is Jian Man?"
Many of these Xianbei nobles could understand Chinese, but no one answered Ma Chao because they did not want to betray the hope of the tribe. However, many people still looked at a little boy subconsciously, but they could not escape Ma Chao's eyes.
Ma Chao lightly clamped his legs, and the very humane Tuxue Wulongzhai slowly walked towards the boy. Suddenly, a Xianbei girl rushed out from the crowd and stopped in front of Ma Chao. ^-^书(
