Chapter 8 Rouran Cavalry
"The village chief, there is a team of cavalry outside the village, which should be the Rouran cavalry."
"You must not let them enter the village. These Tartars are the most hateful!"
"If the Rouran cavalry enters the village, the village we have finally built will be destroyed by them, and we will all become slaves."
The villagers of Xia Village gathered at the entrance of the village to confront the Rouran cavalry that appeared outside the village with various weapons such as hoes, sickles, shoulder poles, and hunting bows.
When Zhang Hua and Mulan arrived, the villagers of Xia Village were filled with righteous indignation and had to defend Xia Village no matter what.
In the middle of the valley is an alluvial plain formed by rivers, and all the Rouran people are cavalrymen. It is a luxury for the villagers of Xia Village to escape.
Therefore, five hundred villagers could only defend Xia Village.
Although it only took three or four days, the villagers have regarded Xia Village as a peach blossom land in troubled times and cannot be destroyed by Rouran people.
The seven Song Dynasty divine arm crossbowmen had their arrows turned on the strings and pointed at the Rouran people outside the village.
Three spearmen, three swords and shields, blocked the entrance of the village with dozens of strong men holding spears.
Liao Hua rode a war horse of the Eight Banners, holding a spear, and glared at the Rouran.
During the Three Kingdoms era, the people were brave and brave. No matter Wuhuan, Xianbei, Shanyue, Southern Barbarians, and Western Qiang, they were all pressed on the ground by the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.
Liao Hua is really not afraid of the Rouran Cavalry.
"It's them..."
Mulan used a white ribbon to put the ink-like black hair behind her back and handed a straight knife.
Unlike ordinary women who wear textiles, Mulan is heroic and has the passion to fight on the battlefield.
Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Tao, made thirteen northern expeditions to Rouran in 25 years.
Mulan experienced not necessarily less than Liao Hua, and they were all cavalry wars.
Liao Hua belongs to the infantry general, while Mulan is the cavalry general.
"This is your war horse and longbow."
Zhang Hua took the war horses and clear bows of the Eight Banners Cavalry and handed them over to Mulan.
The Eight Banners Cavalry and Liao Hua's Han army fought hard, leaving behind many unowned war horses and the Qing bows unique to the Eight Banners Cavalry.
Mulan is a cavalryman, good at riding and shooting and riding, and only works in her spare time.
Mulan took the longbow and turned over the horse, and she still had the power to fight.
The 130 Rouran cavalry outside the village were lined up in three rows, full of murderous intent.
They were from Rouran people from the Northern Wei Dynasty. They had been fighting with the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty for decades, allowing Rouran people to experience many battles.
A Rouran leader came out of the Rouran cavalry, with a terrifying scar on his face, which stretched from the corner of his eyes to his chin, which was extremely terrifying.
The leader of Rouran showed his yellow teeth: "I am Tu Zhijin, a leader of the Rouran Khanate. A woman fled into your village and handed her over to spare you all the time!"
As soon as Tu Zhijin finished speaking, the villagers in Xia Village were in an uproar.
As long as Mulan is handed over, Xia Village can survive?
"Don't be deceived by him. They don't have much food. Whether or not they hand over the Mulan girl, they will not let us go."
Zhang Hua's words calmed down the villagers again.
In the eyes of the Rouran Cavalry, Xia Village is like a clean fat sheep. How could the Rouran Cavalry let Xia Village go?
Not to mention Tu Zhijin, even if Zhang Hua has such a Rouran cavalry, he will capture Xia Village.
Tu Zhijin asked Xia Village to hand over Mulan, but he was worried that Mulan would need to consume more troops in Xia Village.
The number of Rouran people is not large and it is randomly scattered on this continent. Tu Zhijin will not easily replenish his troops before joining with other Rouran people.
It’s different for Zhang Hua to be a Han Chinese. For two thousand years, the number of Han Chinese has been quite large and Zhang Hua can even use it.
"If I don't hand over this person, my cavalry will razend this village to the ground!"
Tu Zhijin pulled out his saber and shouted back and forth at the entrance of the village, putting pressure on the villagers of Xia Village.
"Miss Mulan, why does this Rouran man Tu Zhijin hate you?"
Zhang Hua found that Tu Zhijin seemed to hate Mulan extremely.
Mulan said calmly: "The scar on his face was cut out by my knife."
“…”
Zhang Hua finally understood why Tu Zhijin, a Rouran man, pursued him closely.
Mulan killed forty cavalry under Tu Zhijin and cut Tu Zhijin with one knife. She was considered to be a death-longer than Tu Zhijin.
Zhang Hua glanced at the Rouran cavalry outside the village. The Rouran's thousand-man commander Tu Zhijin was obviously considered a military general, and the Rouran cavalry under him belonged to the military.
Tu Zhijin saw that Xia Village was unwilling to hand over Mulan, so he couldn't help but be angry. He pointed at the entrance of Xia Village: "Raise this village to the ground for me!"
The Rouran cavalry finally received the order to attack. The front row of cavalry waved their sabers excitedly, while the back row of cavalry took down their bows and arrows, using the cavalry that Rouran cavalry was best at, and they wanted to break through Xia Village in one fell swoop.
The villagers in Xia Village are nervous.
Xia Village is their only foothold in troubled times. If Xia Village is captured by Rouran Cavalry, then they will become slaves of Rouran Cavalry and even be regarded as two-legged sheep.
These villagers came from the late Northern Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, and were not unfamiliar with what they would do with barbarian cavalry.
Especially the thirteen soldiers from the Song Dynasty were sweating profusely.
They failed to fight with the Jin soldiers in their original world, but came to this world and encountered the Rouran cavalry of similar nature to the Jin soldiers.
They want to prove to the Song Dynasty that there are still iron-blooded men in the Song Dynasty!
Wang Er, the captain of the Song army, whispered: "Don't take even one step!"
The other twelve Song soldiers agreed in unison: "Yes!"
Liao Hua's expression did not change at all.
After several days of recovery, Liao Hua's injuries have been healed. Moreover, when he was recuperating in Xia Village, Liao Hua accidentally discovered that Liao Hua could detect the true qi flowing in the meridians in his body. When he swung the knife, an inch of energy was faintly formed.
Don’t underestimate the mere inch of strength, one inch long and one inch strong.
Therefore, Liao Hua had the confidence to defend Xia Village.
Before finding Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others, Liao Hua and Zhang Hua made an agreement to stay in Xia Village for three years.
As for what happened three years later, it was another matter.
Mulan's injuries did not fully recover, but she bent her bow and arrow, but she did it in one go.
"His village has taken me in, I can't bring disaster to this village..."
Mulan talked to herself.
In contrast, Hua Mulan, who did not have the same sense of belonging to Shu Han as Liao Hua and was saved by Zhang Hua, was the person who Xia Village was the most loyal to Zhang Hua.
"I didn't expect to encounter a strong enemy so soon. I haven't sowed the seeds yet."
Zhang Hua complained secretly.
The villagers of Xia Village are pursuing hundreds of acres of fertile land and are about to start sowing and digging ditches. The village is facing the threat of Rouran cavalry, and other riots or bandits may also arrive at any time.
At this time, I could only use the Rouran cavalry to show off my power. I would not be able to farm well without repelling the surrounding bandits and bandits.
