Everyone looked in the direction of Ma Chao's guns. I saw Moya holding a bow and arrow. Hiding sneakily behind a tent. Attempt to target the three Xianbei guards.
That remark just now. Moya heard clearly. He has seen the mighty force of the Han cavalry. Naturally, he was convinced of the fate of the three Xianbei guards in the duel. That's why Cold Arrow was not cast. But he didn't expect Ma Chao to point to himself.
Moya's expression was slightly startled. Slowly walked out from behind the tent. Asked: "General. You asked me to fight those Xianbei people."
Ma Chao nodded. Said: "Yes. Didn't you always want to avenge your tribe. Didn't you always want to rebuild your tribe. Now the opportunity lies in front of you. It depends on whether you can grasp it. As long as you defeat the three People of Xianbei. All the cattle, sheep, property, women and children in this camp belong to you. You are their new leader."
Moya hesitated. As the son of the leader of the tribe. He has learned to ride a bow and horse since he was a child. Martial arts are naturally good. Since he killed the enemy with a single arrow. You can see the clues. but. Be a prisoner for so long. He didn't even have a chance to touch the weapon. Martial arts have become a lot rusty. He aimed for a long time before shooting the arrow just now. It's because I don't have confidence in myself.
but. Ma Chao's conditions are too generous. In this camp, there are many women who were sweating before Xianbei. Just thinking about it makes Moya's blood boil. right now. Just kill the three Xianbei in front of you. These women are all his. And there are countless belongings in the camp. With the support of these assets. He can realize the restoration of his tribe. Then carry forward the tribe's ambition.
The danger is obvious. But the temptation is too great. Desire finally defeated reason. Moya gritted his teeth. Walked a few steps forward again. Pick up a saber on the ground. It was a weapon left after the death of a Han cavalry. Moya saw clearly from behind just now. The sabers equipped by the cavalry of the Han army were much more powerful than the scimitars they used to use. If luck is good enough. He can even cut off his opponent's scimitar. Face the enemy with bare hands. That will become a one-sided slaughter.
Can bear the humiliation and feel at ease to be a prisoner. It shows that Moya is a very scheming person. He picked up a saber. Pick another horse without an owner. But he did not immediately challenge the three Xianbei guards. Instead, he handed over and asked Ma Chao. Said: "Excuse me, the general. Are the three of them going together. Or one by one."
Moya is very cunning. He asked Ma Chao on the surface. But it was said in Xianbei's words. The people on the prairie admire the warriors. If three hit one. It may not be a big deal when the two armies are facing each other. But in a duel. Even if you win. It's not a glorious thing either.
really. Ma Chao hasn't figured out what he meant. The three Xianbei guards over there have already yelled: "Of course they will come one by one."
Moya's strategy succeeded. Can't help but be smug. The saber in his hand pointed towards the Xianbei guard on the far left. Said: "You come first."
The three Xianbei guards are all tall and mammoth. But the right arm of the guard on the far left was obviously injured in the battle just now. The blood stained the entire arm. The scimitar has been handed over to his left hand. For most people. The left-handed knife is not too flexible. Moya's plan is to win others first.
The injured Xianbei guard did not hesitate. A rein. The horse rushed over. Moya also yelled angrily. Waving to greet him. The moment the two horses intersect. Moya suddenly bowed his head. The saber was raised above his head. It was standing on the scimitar of the Xianbei guard. "Choke". The scimitar broke in two. Moya stabbed the Xianbei guard's chest with a knife without hesitation.
It can be seen from this trick. Moya is a thoughtful person. He chose the target as the opponent's chest instead of the head. It's because he lowered his head just now. It takes more effort to reach the opponent's head. And he cut into a thorn instead. It is also considering that this knife cut off the opponent's scimitar. But it also consumes most of the power. If you still use chop. It is not enough to cause fatal damage to the opponent. Without the guidance of a famous teacher. Moya was able to make such a wise decision in an instant. If he can meet a good master. His martial arts can definitely advance by leaps and bounds. It's just that he has no such opportunity.
Moya has counts. But he didn't count that his opponent had a mortal heart. Faced with a knife stabbed by him. The Xianbei guard did not evade at all. Instead, he continued to greet him. There was a "poof". The saber pierced the Xianbei guard's chest. Almost at the same time. Moya also felt a chill in his neck. The guard tried his best before he died. Cut off Moya's head with a scimitar in his hand. Moya's dream disappeared completely with this knife. in fact. Moya's fate has been doomed from the beginning. An ambitious guy. Even if Ma Chao is willing to let him go. Liu Xin couldn't let him go either.
Ma Chao is a man who respects heroes. And such a brave opponent deserves everyone's respect. But Liu Xin gave a deadly order for this battle. All adult Xianbei men must be killed. He had no reason to let go of the two Xianbei guards in front of him. Ma Chao waved his hand. To the two soldiers around. He whispered: "Go on."
The two Han cavalrymen are Ma Chao's personal soldiers. Wu Yi has been instructed by Ma Chao. Naturally unusual. The two cavalry were ordered by Ma Chao. Put a horse belly on your legs. The two horses sprang out like off-string arrows. Just this hand riding. It is not comparable to Moya. The two Xianbei guards were also unambiguous. Weird shouted and greeted him. Four riding is just a face-to-face. The winner is already divided.
The bodies of the two Xianbei guards shook immediately. All fell to the ground. The sabers of the Han cavalry have cut their throats just now. But the two Han cavalry also respected their bravery. Did not make full use of it. A whole body was left for them.
The battle is over. Follow the rules on the grassland. The remaining women and children in the camp will not resist. Although the Han cavalry only had 87 men left. But still very smoothly gathered the women and children in the camp together.
There were more people in the camp than Ma Chao expected. Except for Jian Man and the woman he inherited from his father. The wives and children of those guards and the wives and children of many nobles in the tribe also stayed in this camp. These people do not need to go to the pastures to herd sheep. The items they need are provided by other herdsmen in the tribe. So these people basically stay in the camp. There are as many as five thousand people.
The bravery of the Han cavalry. Everyone can see clearly. Two hundred guards in the camp. Is already the top warrior in their tribe. As a result, he faced a hundred Han cavalry. completely annihilated. However, the casualties of the Han army were only 13 people who were negligible. Facing such a powerful opponent. Naturally, these Xianbei, who are mainly women, children and the elderly, have no chance of winning. But they have more than five thousand people. If you run away separately. No matter what. It will not be completely wiped out by the Han army.
But they did not do so. Fifteen hundred of them were slaves. Many families in this camp are nobles. Every family owned a considerable number of slaves. Follow the rules on the grassland. Even if there is a war between the tribes. Whether it is victory or defeat. The status of these slaves will not change. The only thing that can change is to change the owner. So they will not run away. There is no need to escape.
Most of the rest of those noble families are old and weak women and children. Leaving the camp. They will directly face the harsh environment. Especially the cunning wolves on the prairie. and so. Unless as a last resort. Otherwise they would rather die in battle. Will not choose to escape.
There is a more important reason. Jian Man is in the camp. He is the son of Helian Khan. A certain dignity must be maintained. Don't wander on the grassland like a bereaved dog. Jian Man can't go. Others had to stay with him. So they became prisoners together.
Ma Chao faced so many captives. The first thing he did was to execute adult men in accordance with the rules of the grassland. Whether it is an adult man or not is not divided according to age. But according to height. Anything higher than the wheel. Even an adult man. Some boys are only ** years old. Because it grows tall. Then suffered.
The Xianbei men and the half-old children selected by this standard were taken outside the camp. stand in a line. The cavalry of the Han army urged their horses to gallop past them. The saber in his hand swung across. Heads of people rolled into the dust. The blood dyed the pasture all red. The smell of blood attracted many vultures. Flying from all directions. Can't hover in the sky. Waiting to enjoy this big meal.
Among those killed. There are not only males from the Jianman tribe. It also includes the vast majority of slaves. Ma Chao did not let these slaves turn over to become masters like at noon. It's not because there are no Han people in these slaves. But because there are too many slaves in this camp. Once let them be masters. This new tribe will soon become a pivotal force on the grassland. Against their original intention.
After this round of bloody massacre. There are only two thousand people left behind from five thousand prisoners. It's all young women and children.
Ma Chao rode his horse slowly past them. Shen said: "Who is Jianman."
Many of these Xianbei nobles can understand Chinese. But no one answered Ma Chao. Because they don't want to betray the hope of the tribe. just. Many people still look at a little boy subconsciously. None of these can escape Ma Chao's eyes.
Ma Chao gently clamped his legs. The human-like Taxue Oolongcha slowly walked towards the boy. suddenly. A Xianbei girl rushed out from the crowd. Stopped in front of Ma Chao.
