The soldier with the horn on his back swung a knife and chopped off the head of a young Xianbei. Then take off the horn. Blow hard twice. Tell the cavalry squad nearby. Everything goes well for them here. The boy is quite strong. But he did not resist. Because he was worried about angering the Han army, he would bring death to his younger siblings. This is also the rule on the grassland.
There is no need for Ma Chao to spend too much energy here. Just behead all the men who are above the wheel. The slaves can turn over and become masters. Although Luo Xiang is a Han Chinese. But he was taken into captivity in this grassland since he was seven years old. His abilities have also become fully adapted to life on the prairie. Not much time. He can do this leader well. Of course. Luo Xiang knew it in his heart. He can get it all. They are inseparable from the support of Dahan. Or. It is inseparable from a powerful motherland supporting him behind his back. otherwise. He is lonely and a Han Chinese. Why do you stand on the grassland
Moya has picked a good horse from the camp. Turned over and jumped on horseback. Pointed to the east. Said: "General. Jian Man's camp is there."
The cavalry of the Han army mounted one after another. Suddenly I saw Luo Xiang running over with someone. Shouted: "General. Eat something before leaving."
When Ma Chao turned his head to look. It was Luo Xiang who led the slaves and the women and children who had just become masters. Carrying a lot of roast lamb. Ran over. The mother and daughter were among them. These roast lamb was originally their lunch. Now Luo Xiang used it as a favor. Ma Chao is not polite with them either. Grab a roast leg of lamb. Nibbled on one side. Riding a horse and walking. The soldiers also imitated him. Grab the lamb and eat it while running. Although they also brought water and dry food. But now there is lamb to eat. Of course, you can save a little bit of your own dry food.
Moya was quite familiar with this grassland. Changing the direction of progress from time to time. His riding skills are also quite superb. Although it is not equipped with stirrups. But it did not lag behind the Han soldiers. Ma Chao saw this. Can not help but be vigilant.
During the year when he was ordered to be discharged from the army. Ma Chao read many military books. And Liu Xin gave him pointers many times. Therefore, he fully understood Liu Xin's purpose of attacking the various ministries in Xianbei. It must be thorough, thorough, and more thorough. Let Xianbei people never stand up forever. but. This grassland is too big. The Xianbei people died out. Will there be other nations rising here? This is his question. It was also the "topic" Liu Xin gave him. But this Moya was acting too aggressively. Also has a certain strength. Very suspicious.
Along the way. This cavalry team also encountered many scattered Xianbei tents. Ma Chao did not discriminate between slaves and ordinary herders as he did just now. It does not even distinguish between men, women and children. All killed. Because he is in a hurry. You must find Jianman's camp in front of the other teams. As for the cattle and sheep that these people graze. Either it's cheaper for others. Or it will become an ownerless wild sheep on the grassland. But Ma Chao has been too lazy to take care of it.
Two hours later. The sun has not set yet. Ma Chao had already seen through the telescope that a large tent appeared in front of him. There are four to five hundred tops. The largest tent in the middle is more than six times bigger than the ordinary tent. Those who can live in such a tent are definitely very distinguished people in the Xianbei tribe. Even ordinary tribal leaders cannot use tents of this size.
And in the nomadic season. The scale of this camp is quite impressive. At least three thousand people lived in it. What particularly caught Ma Chao's attention was. Around the camp, there were also knights holding bows and arrows and machetes on their waists patrolling back and forth in twos and threes. Further explain that the characters in the camp are definitely not simple.
Ma Chao raised his hand to stop the team behind him. Shen Sheng asked: "We are going to attack this camp. The enemy will be ten times, a hundred times more than us. Are you afraid of it."
"Not afraid." The soldiers did not hesitate. Answer loudly. The voice resounded through Yun Xiao. It spreads far away in the wilderness. The guards in the camp also seemed to hear the movement. One after another looked towards this side. Ma Chao did not deliberately conceal his deeds. They are cavalry. The speed of the horse's impact is also part of their combat effectiveness. So many horses galloped together. It is impossible to prevent the enemy from discovering it. And the soldiers shouted in unison. On the contrary, it can confuse the enemy's vision. They couldn't tell how many Han troops had killed them.
Moya first saw the scale of the camp. There is still some anxiety in my heart. I was sweating a lot. Now infected by Han soldiers. He couldn't restrain his excitement either. He stood up and said loudly, "I'm not afraid. Please give me a bow and arrow."
Ma Chao ignored him. The spear pointed forward. Shouted loudly: "Kill."
A hundred brave knights. Two hundred vigorous steeds. All rushed out toward the front. Although Moya was bare-handed. But he was just a little stunned. Then he followed without thinking.
The guards of the camp were already looking here. So they quickly discovered the movement of the Han army. Noisily rushed forward. End up on one side. Throwing arrows at the Han army. Try to stop the advance of the Han army. Riding and shooting is not just the patent of the grassland people. The Han cavalry is also good at this. And the bows they used shot farther than the Xianbei people. The two sides separated by more than three hundred steps. The bows and arrows of the Xianbei people can only serve as a deterrent and warning. But the feather arrows of the Han army have fallen into their team. Because the distance is too far. The cavalry's accuracy of bow and arrow was greatly reduced. However, there are still many Xianbei who are caught off guard and fall off the horse.
The speed of the Han army is very fast. In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the edge of the camp. Ma Chao took the lead. A hundred elite cavalry immediately turned into a neat cone-shaped formation behind him. This is the most common charge formation. It is also the most effective. It's like a sharp knife. Easily tore open the line of defense of Xianbei people.
Close combat. Bows and arrows can't do much. Now is the time to compete for strength. The Han army's saber is extremely sharp. Cleave with Xianbei's scimitar. The Xianbei's scimitar instantly broke into two pieces. And Ma Chao's iron gun is even more fascinating. Pick left and right stab. Those who have fallen off the horse. After a round of charge. The cavalry of the Han army had already smashed from the camp to the other end. There are dead bodies and horses wandering lonely after losing their masters. The Han cavalry suffered only seven casualties. Ma Chao shook his spear. A beautiful turning motion. Leading the remaining ninety-three cavalry soldiers returned like a long dragon.
Moya was left behind by Ma Chao. I don't know when I touched the edge of the camp. Quietly picked up a pair of bows and arrows left by the Xianbei knight. Hiding behind the tent nervously looking for the target. Taking advantage of the time when the Xianbei people were unprepared. Secretly shot an arrow or two.
This is indeed Jianman's camp. Although Helian died. He was too young to inherit the Khan position. He inherited more than one hundred wives from Helian. So many people live together. The camp is naturally not small. And Kuitou is to show respect for Helian. Jianman's tribe was also granted permission to leave two hundred young men as guards. Although these two hundred young men are all warriors of the Jianman tribe. But in the face of the powerful combat power of the Han cavalry. Especially in front of the fierce Ma Chao. Simply vulnerable.
When Ma Chao turned over and killed him again. The resistance of Xianbei's guards has been much weaker. Ma Chao still takes the lead. The spear was handed out. A Xianbei cavalry who was about to stab off his horse. Suddenly the cavalry fell down by himself. A feather arrow stuck in the back of the neck. Ma Chao looked up. But Moya's figure flashed. Has hidden behind a tent.
The man on the grassland has a rough temper. In addition to riding and shooting. In close combat, I prefer to kill with real swords and guns face-to-face. It is very rare to cast Cold Arrows like Moya. Ma Chao is from Xiliang. The habits are somewhat similar to those of the prairie guys. Moya couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted.
After the end of the second round of the charge of the Han cavalry. There were only three Xianbei guards still riding horses in the camp. The scimitars of the three Xianbei guards were still bleeding. Obviously, Han cavalry had been wounded by their swords. And Ma Chao’s Han cavalry was indeed only 87 men. Among the six people who have recently lost. At least three people were killed in their hands.
The Han cavalry standing behind Ma Chao brandished sabers. Eager to try. As long as they charge again. These Xianbei men couldn't stand up anymore.
Ma Chao waved his hand. Instructed the interpreter behind him: "Tell them. I will give them a fair chance to fight."
The so-called interpretation. In fact, he was also a soldier of the Sixth Army. More than a year on the grassland. Many soldiers learned the languages of the Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan. This is also one of their daily training courses. In this one-hundred-man cavalry team led by Ma Chao. There are 23 people who can speak Xianbei.
A cavalry rode forward. Translate Ma Chao's words to the three Xianbei guards. The three guards were yelling unexpectedly.
Ma Chao can understand Qiang and Huns. But he could only understand a few sentences in Xianbei language. But look at the expressions of these three guards. They are obviously very dissatisfied with their proposal. Can not help but frown and asked: "What are they talking about."
The cavalry replied: "Go back to the general. Their general is invincible. Fight with the general. They will definitely lose. It's not fair."
Just now Ma Chao flew up and down with a gun. Nearly half of the two hundred Xianbei guards died under his gun. The three Xianbei guards had long regarded him as a god. Where would you dare to fight him
Ma Chao laughed and said, "Who said I was going to fight them."
The three Xianbei guards heard that Ma Chao would let others fight them. The expression on his face became solemn. All salutes to Ma Chao: "Thank you for your success, the general. Whether you win or lose in this duel, you will never be an enemy of the general again. Please appoint your opponent."
The Han cavalry behind Ma Chao looked very excited. One after another asked for orders: "General. Let me go."
Ma Chao turned his head and looked around. Pointed the iron gun. He shouted in a deep voice: "Go on."
