If the Xianbei don't gather, don't expect to engage in regular battles with them. And even if the Xianbei gather, they prefer to take advantage of their mobility on this vast grassland and rarely engage in battles.

In addition to the Yangzhou Army under Liu Cang's command, which invaded the grassland in a large-scale manner in the form of military formations, the Hussars battalions attacked the grassland nomads in a certain area by running attacks, making detours and meeting each other from time to time.

Well, attacking the nomads on the grassland is not an attack on the army, because the army here is confusing to the nomads. If you want to be more serious, just wait for the loss of troops and generals.

There is no way that the defenders can defeat the Xianbei Hu Qiang. Nomad has long given himself a strange label. Here it is properly said, "If you have to slaughter them, you can't make enemies of them."

"Boom~!" The sword split open a wave of blood, leaving broken limbs and horse corpses flying with mud.

Wei Yan, who transformed into a giant spirit, stabbed into the enemy group with a giant sword in his hand, swept out after him, and splashed a wide range of mournful blood mist.

The leather armor protects the vital points, and the iron mask covers the face. In fact, Wei Yan doesn't like stacking armor, nor does he like wearing an iron mask. However, his face is too big after transforming into a giant spirit. In addition to the weapons in his hands, he is more careful to get them for himself first.

The iron helmet and the iron face.

The Mo Dao, which is nearly ten meters long, has an iron chain connected to the wrist at the handle. The evolution of the dragon scales needs to be close to the body to be realized, just like the leather armor on Wei Yan's body. If it is cut and torn off, it will dissipate after leaving the body, and

It is the kind that dissipates permanently. If you want to arm it again, you need to re-convert the material.

The chain on the Mo Dao is to prevent the Mo Dao from directly collapsing during some off-hand moves.

"Kill~!" Sweeping away a group of desperate enemy troops, Wei Yan swung his sword directly at the Xianbei tent. A large number of Tianshu cavalry rushed out with the sword, and then the Yangzhou army who shouted for death surged up. Among the thousands of troops, they were like giants.

Wei Yan raised his sword and stared at Xianbei's movements.

There are those who fight, and there are those who flee. In the face of powerful enemies, Xianbei's concept is to save his own life and obey the orders of the nobles, always above protecting his tribe.

When a clan member dies, help them avenge them. As long as the young and strong are still there and the old and weak are dead, women can rob and take away more, and that’s all it takes is a period of cultivation. This is a common sense among them.

In a Xianbei Tuoba tribe camp, the main housing is tents, but the large tent in the center of the camp that can accommodate thousands of people is really big. There are so many Xianbei people here that during the fierce battle, several groups of Liu Cang's troops gradually gathered together.

Two to three hundred miles is an attack node. They scatter troops, attack and kill, gather troops, and then move on. Liu Cang's army maintains this rhythm and invades thousands of miles east of the grassland.

In addition to tents, the houses in the Xianbei settlement also have earth and stone buildings, but I don't know if it is for the sake of open space for cattle and horses to walk. It seems that they like to dig holes here. The appearance of the houses is simple and short, usually in the form of semi-burrows.

This Xianbei camp occupies an area as large as a small city, but the external protective wall is only an earth wall of about five meters. The Tianshu army is fierce and the giant spirit is very intimidating. When the city gate is opened and the cavalry rushes into the city, the Yangzhou army even

There was no shortage of people who invaded through the city wall.

There were chaotic battles in the city, and soldiers rushed to kill the camps. The Xianbei people would also hide in cave buildings to fight back against the intruders. In order to avoid more casualties in the narrow place, they would kick open the door of the house, let the wolf enter the house to bite, and then let the wolf enter the house to bite.

The soldiers killed.

The Tianshu soldiers here were not the elite of the wolf army, they could only be regarded as tough soldiers at best. Wei Yan was fighting everywhere, and the Yangzhou army was also led by Zhou Tai. Even so, the fighting in the city was a stalemate for a long time.

Even Wei Yan was secretly frightened by Xianbei's crazy fighting spirit. As the leader, Wei Yan was also secretly curious about what led to their brave fighting belief.

Until all resistance was suppressed, the brutal war came to an end.

The soldiers treated the wounded, registered the dead, escorted the remaining Xianbei soldiers, and searched the city. The Han army discovered something strange in the city.

In a corner of the city that was sheltered from the wind, Wei Yan and Zhou Tai were summoned by the generals in the army, and the Tianshu camp searched and captured the prisoners. The place was surrounded by the Yangzhou army, but there was something that the generals could not handle.

"Deng Dang, did you capture the nobles?" Seeing Wei Yan, Zhou Tai rushed over, and a Yangzhou soldier came forward hurriedly. Zhou Tai looked at the surrounding environment and frowned at Deng Dang and asked.

Zhou Tai was covered in blood, and the place looked like a large stable. Except for the beheaded corpses lying around the outside, the inside was unusually clean.

There was a slight smell, no mud, no horse manure, and hay was even laid in many places. When Zhou Tai asked, the general named Deng Dang had a strange expression.

"Come here, general." As if he didn't know how to explain it, Deng Dang guided Zhou Tai forward. A camp gate was in the way, and Wei Yan, who still maintained his giant spirit attitude, raised his hand to knock down the eaves of the gate.

There were open houses with roofs on both sides of the road. The two rows of open houses extended to an empty racecourse. Occasionally, two corpses were thrown beside the road. Until they entered the racecourse, Zhou Tai and Wei Yan looked at them in amazement. There were not many of them.

crowd.

】

A group of women? About thirty people were half-clothed, and almost all of them were pregnant.

These women have Han Chinese appearance, some have Xianbei characteristics, and some have blond hair and blue eyes. Most of them have dull faces and dull eyes. Even seeing Pan Feng's huge body does not seem to arouse any emotion in them.

.

"This is.

"Zhou Tai looked at Deng Dang.

"General, they seem to be Xianbei's slaves. There should have been hundreds of people here, but Xianbei wanted to rob them. Except for them, everyone else was killed and made into military rations." Deng Dang said.

"What?" Zhou Tai asked in shock.

"It is said that Xianbei called them two-legged sheep and kept them for food. Xianbei would kill some before plundering, and they...

"Deng Dang suppressed his emotions and looked at the women again.

"It's probably because they are pregnant, and Xianbei is planning to wait until they give birth," Deng Danghanhu explained.

".

"Zhou Tai was silent, his astonished expression gradually turned ferocious. He looked at the group of pregnant women and then at Deng Dang, still with disbelief in his eyes.

"Two-legged sheep, my lord has said that if food is not in short supply, the male children will be kept and rejoined by the tribe, while the female children will be raised and eaten later." Wei Yan said in a deep voice, his mood seemed to be better than Zhou Tai's.

"Don't let the Yangzhou army talk privately about the cruelty of Tianshu Camp. Why do you think they were so cruel when they killed the nomads?" Wei Yan said to Zhou Tai.

"Beasts! Even animals don't behave like this!" Zhou Tai squeezed out a voice from between his teeth.

Cannibalism is nothing. Have you never heard of it? Even Zhou Tai knew that Hu Qiang can eat people, but cannibalism and raising people to eat are not the same concept.

Xianbei was divided, and there were endless internal fights, but the population has been growing at a healthy pace. Their policy of plundering slaves, retaining the males, and selecting them for food probably also contributed a lot.

This was beyond the scope of barbarism. The relatively clean environment nearby made the Yangzhou soldiers extremely uncomfortable. Some of them had questioned Liu Cang's senseless massacre and plunder of the nomads earlier. At this time, they had gritted their teeth and thought that they had given up on early

doubts.

With his stomach pounding, Zhou Tai took two steps aimlessly in the direction of those women, then stamped his feet, not knowing what to do with these women for a moment.

The surroundings were silent for a short time. At this time, a woman's eyes seemed to be clearer. She looked at Zhou Tai with a look that seemed innocent and suspicious, and walked slowly to Zhou Tai.

"Han Army?" The woman had a slovenly figure, her age was hard to tell, and she had several broken teeth in her mouth, and her speech was a bit offbeat.

"Yeah." Zhou Tai nodded solemnly.

"Pah~" The woman raised her hand expressionlessly and slapped Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was stunned. Someone from the surrounding soldiers came forward with a knife, but Zhou Tai raised his hand to stop him.

"Pa~" Another slap.

"Pah~pah~" The woman slapped Zhou Tai again and again, and her expressionless cheek gradually turned ferocious.

The crisp slaps echoed in the racecourse. Zhou Tai did not dodge or dodge. As the woman slapped her, the eyes of other women in the racecourse seemed to be a little clearer.

The woman seemed to be in a frenzy, so Zhou Tai allowed the woman to beat her. Wei Yan frowned secretly, tightened the sword in his hand, and hesitated when he wanted to step forward and kill the woman, but the woman stopped beating Zhou Tai.

"Han Army?" The woman's voice was hoarse as she repeated her previous inquiry.

"Yes." Zhou Tai lowered his head, and big tears welled up from the corners of the woman's eyes.

"you.
