Chapter 199 Haidongqing
Spring is warm and flowers bloom, ice and snow melt, snow water flows eastward, and the two sides are mottled and green. They are weeds that have survived the cold winter, spitting out tender leaves under the call of the spring breeze.
The cattle and sheep who had survived the winter were hungry and were eating these tender grass with relish. In the camping site not far away, smoke rose from the tent. It seemed that the herdsmen were making fires and cooking.
In the camp, beside a bonfire, a young herder was wiping the iron pot with a cloth. He stopped and looked at the iron pot carefully.
Iron pot is a treasure. I use an iron pot to cook food, save firewood, and the things cooked are delicious and cooked thoroughly. They are used to cook meat, so you don’t have diarrhea after eating the cooked meat.
Although life can still be lived without an iron pot, those who have used an iron pot and seen an iron pot will be very moved by such cooking utensils, and young herders are no exception.
But an iron pot is very valuable and cannot be afforded by people like him. Only by doing well can you get such a treasure like Mofohe rewarded.
Mofuhe is the title of the leader of the Khitan tribe. For tribe members, Mofuhe is their master. Life and death are all within the words of Mofuhe. Therefore, as long as you listen to Mofuhe's orders, Mofuhe will do whatever you want. If you do it well, you will get rewards.
The young herder rubbed the small iron pot as if he was rubbing a woman's skin, and he couldn't let go of it. Although he was a little hungry, he would not set up the iron pot to cook wild vegetables now.
He stood up, carefully put the iron pot next to the saddle of his mount, then took out a small cloth bag with embroidered patterns from his arms, then took out some dried meat from the bag, and put it directly into his mouth to chew it.
Sitting beside the campfire, he chewed jerky while looking at the small cloth bag.
The small cloth bag was embroidered with strange patterns. He couldn't understand it and didn't know what the purpose was. Originally, there was a wooden sign in the cloth bag, and the wooden sign was also engraved with strange patterns. He heard from people from the clan that this wooden sign was a "talisman".
The so-called amulet is when the Han people in the south seek out spells from Wu Zhu when they are traveling. They are usually engraved on wooden signs or written on paper. When worn with them, the gods will bless the wearer with peace.
He didn't believe this statement, otherwise when he smashed the Han man with a stone that day, why didn't the gods appear and save the other party's life?
Thinking of the bloody head, the red and white thing that was sputtered by his stones, and the disgusting smell of blood, the young herder became excited.
That was his first time killing people. He was frightened by the bloody scene and had nightmares for several days. But it was precisely because of his outstanding performance in that battle that Mofuhe received a pot of iron.
This iron pot was the victory of the ambush battle. Although it was the smallest pot, it was priceless for him. You should know that if you wanted to get an iron pot from the Han caravan, you would have to take out ten sheep.
In the Han area to the south, caravans went north from time to time to do business in the nomadic areas of the Khitan. Among these caravans, most of them were Han people, and they brought a lot of goods, which made people confused.
In addition to iron pots, there are also various daily iron products and other gadgets. For the Khitans who are lacking in material, everyone wants these goods, but many people cannot afford them.
Therefore, it is more convenient to grab.
Thinking of this, he remembered the Han people who were smashed to death by himself. The other party was dressed well and looked like a businessman with no martial arts skills. So when he was chased by him, he would only wave his sword in horror.
While waving his sword randomly, he actually fell down by himself. Seeing this, he rushed forward, kicked the knife in his hand away, then grabbed the stone and smashed it hard on his head a few times. It was done.
It was his first time to kill someone, and it was also his first time to see what a person's brain looks like.
Now, we are going to be able to see human brain again.
As the shouts started, he raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by his companion. He saw a large number of cavalry appearing on the tops of the hills downstream of the river, galloping towards the camp.
The other party blew the horn, and the sound was like a tide. He even blew a black flag. Because the distance was still far, he couldn't see the pattern on the flag clearly. However, the people in the camp immediately moved when they saw this, and rode on their horses without hesitation and ran in another direction.
They no longer care about the cattle and sheep that were still eating grass by the river. As for the tents and the people in the tents...
Each tent is empty and there is no one.
The young herders rode on horseback, carrying their baby iron pots and horse preparations. As their companions left the empty camp, they used as bait, and only a few hundred people, but they created a campground where tens of thousands of people lived, successfully attracting prey.
The trap is ready, and the prey will only be dead when it hits in, so it is no big deal for them to leave some cattle and sheep.
The river section where the campsite is located is a small river valley surrounded by a large number of small hills. Although the hills on both sides are not cliffs, there are many woods, which is an excellent place for Tibetan soldiers.
In the woods, a large number of Khitans watched their companions passing by the river as bait, and then watched a large number of Zhou cavalry follow, like a long snake, revealing their side in front of them.
The Zhou army was attacking a large number of cavalry, but the Khitan tribes that had already joined forces had more cavalry ambushed here. Now the opponent's troops are not superior, and they are also ambushed and have no chance of winning.
The Khitan tribe who had snatched the Zhou Dynasty's caravan had known that the Zhou Dynasty would retaliate sooner or later, so they joined forces to set up a trap to annihilate the Zhou army. After this battle, they followed the clans far away from the north, making the Zhou army unable to catch up.
The Mofuhes had already thought about it and hid in the north for a few years. Then, depending on the situation, they sent someone to Zhou Guoyingzhou to the south to apologize to the high-ranking officials of Zhou Guo and admit their mistakes, and gave a few unlucky people to the other party to silence them.
In this way, Zhou Guo would probably turn a blind eye and make sure they will come back.
As for now, of course, we must annihilate the well-equipped Zhou cavalry and harvest spoils. After all, the iron armor and weapons on the other side are very useful for strengthening the tribe's strength.
The prey had fallen into a trap. The warriors stepped onto their mounts, picked up their weapons, and accompanied by the sound of horns, rushed out of the woods and launched a charge towards the unexpected Zhou cavalry.
The Khitan cavalry sieges attacked the prey from different directions. The divisions also let falcons fly, hovering over the river valley, staring at these prey from a high place, ready to follow the escapees at any time and guide the hunters to escape.
It was noon, and the sky was clear, and thunder suddenly exploded in the sound of fighting, which shocked the falcons in the sky. When they came to their senses and tried to return to the hunting ground, several huge figures appeared in the sky.
Raptors who shouldn't have appeared in the grassland looked down at the falcons below in the posture of predators. The Haidongqing, whose wingspan was more than 10 meters, whistling towards the falcons who were obviously much smaller.
A bloody battle broke out in mid-air, and a large number of maritime cavalry appeared on the ground. Under the guidance of the divine bird sea Dongqing, as the support of the Zhou army, he launched a blow to the Khitan cavalry that set up an ambush outside the river valley.
On the outer edge of the battlefield, a large number of soldiers gathered around a hill. On the hill, Yang Ji, the general manager of Yingzhou, put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and said to one of the several people around him: "Lord Lu."
The middle-aged man in armor replied after hearing this: "The grass is here."
"The blood debt is paid for blood, and the time for revenge is here." Yang Ji handed Qianli Jing to his subordinates and said expressionlessly: "I, Xu Er and other merchant groups, burn, kill, loot, and do whatever they want."
