A big battle began. Chen Xing got on his horse, and the cavalrymen of all races rushed out behind him. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of knights had left the camp, armed with long knives, crashed into the group of living corpses, and slashed away!
"Beheading!" Xiang Shu shouted.
Chen Xing came on his horse and wanted to help Xiang Shu with the heart lamp, but found that he was no longer needed. This was the first time he saw Chile Chuan cavalry fighting. All ethnic groups were well-trained. They advanced and retreated. They were reminded by Xiangshu on their hands and legs. They all wore wrist guards and leg guards. The light flickered and flew up and down. When he saw the enemy, he was cut off with a knife, and the group of living corpses was completely washed away.
Chen Xing found that in this icy world, the speed of the living corpse was indeed a lot slower, maybe it was frozen into ice, and it was far less agile than in Chang'an City. The Hu cavalry of Chi Lechuan was even more ferocious than the iron cavalry of the Qin army in Guanzhong. In less than a quarter of an hour, the battlefield had been slaughtered with corpses all over the place, all lying on the ground with their heads and bodies separated.
Xiang Shu first led the Tiele people to kill two back and forth. Seeing that the battle situation was not critical, he stepped back a little and oversaw the battle on the periphery.
"They ran!" someone shouted.
I saw the group of living corpses scattered and fled to the north, but the leader never appeared. At this moment, Chen Xing rushed to the front of the battle and looked at the dead people on the battlefield doubtfully.
Xiang Shu ordered to withdraw his troops and stop chasing them, and the outcome would be decided. Chi Lechuan Hu Qi achieved an overall victory with crushing numbers and combat power. At this time, Che Luofeng brought out the Rouran army and came to the battlefield.
"It's too late, the fight is over." Xiang Shu took off his helmet and threw it on the ground.
Che Luofeng rode on his horse, looking down at the corpses, Xiang Shu added, "Let your subordinates gather the corpses together and set them on fire. Don't touch it!"
Chen Xing waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and began to examine one of the corpses. Xiang Shu took off the glove made of steel wire and threw it to Chen Xing. The glove weighed several pounds. Chen Xing put it on with one hand, turned over the headless corpse, took off the corpse's breastplate, and looked at the sun.
Unlike most of the people in Chang'an, who were mixed with Hu and Han people, these corpses outside the Great Wall were all Hu people, and almost all of them were soldiers. Is it the meaning of local materials
"Have you seen this kind of armor?" Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu frowned and said nothing. King Ackler came with the warriors and said something to Xiang, and everyone took the armor and started talking.
"The Xiongnu armor," Xiang said, "the awakened living corpses are all Xiongnu warriors who died a hundred to twenty years ago."
Chen Xing put down the breastplate and became even more puzzled, saying, "Where were these people buried after they died?"
"It's in Kaloksha," Xiang Shu replied, "there used to be the Huns' cemetery."
Chen Xing got in touch with what the princess said that Prince Ackler "resurrected from the dead" back then, and soon left the family and went to the farther north. When he came back a few years later, he brought with him tens of thousands of dead warriors from the Huns... The answer is almost ready to come out.
Something must have happened in Karosha Mountain.
Everyone dismounted, turned around the camp, and on the side of Chilechuan, the heads of the decapitated living corpses were placed separately from the corpses, forming a hill. A pile of firewood was set up at the bottom, and the top was covered with lumps of ghee. Xiang Shu took the torch and lit the pile of firewood. The fire suddenly rose into the sky and devoured the pile of corpses.
Among the miscellaneous Hus under the Chuan Chuan, the Xiongnu were the most numerous, followed by Tiele, and again Rouran and Shiwei. The Xiongnu came from all over the river, knelt down outside the burning corpse, and sang a sad song.
"Yodo never showed up," said Nang, "it must still be around."
Chen Xing: "What are they doing here?"
A Xiongnu warrior told Xiang a long series of words. Chen Xing frowned and was puzzled. Xiang Shu explained: "The Huns believe that the dead are turned into ghosts and resurrected because they still have unfulfilled wishes."
Chen Xing thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "I suspect that's not the case."
"It's just a legend." Xiang Shu naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't say much, and looked away slightly unnaturally. Chen Xing suddenly had a terrifying thought—this group of living corpses might be aimed at him.
They quelled a riot in Chang'an, but the mastermind behind them did not show up for a long time. If they were not far away, they would have to get rid of him, Chen Xing, so as not to obstruct their plan? Thinking of this, Chen Xing vaguely felt that there was a pair of eyes watching him secretly.
"I have to go," Chen Xing said, "I'm afraid they are coming for me."
Xiang Shu naturally knew what Chen Xing was thinking, and immediately rejected: "Impossible! Keyella went to the grassland three years ago. How to explain the previous incident?"
Che Luofeng listened and suddenly said, "Do you know where the mountain ghosts come from?"
Xiang Shu said to Che Luofeng, "Tomorrow, I will leave for the north. An answer, I will leave the Chile River to you."
Chen Xing was relieved.
Xiang Shu said to Chen Xing again: "The luggage has been packed on the day of the late autumn festival, and you can leave at any time."
Che Luofeng has not talked to Chen Xing since the last time he quarreled with Xiang Shu, and now he tells Xiang Xiang in soft language, "Where are you going?"
"Ka Luosha," Xiang Shu replied, "the place where the ancient dragon fell."
"You can't go!" said Che Luofeng, "I heard from Akler that mountain ghosts will come!"
Xiang Shu: "I have to find out what's going on behind the scenes. Chen Xing followed me to Chilechuan because of this. You don't know that chaos also happened in Chang'an. A tragedy..."
"What I said," Che Luofeng finally understood, and glanced at Chen Xing, "So it was you who brought it!"
"It has nothing to do with him!"
Without waiting for Chen Xing's answer, Xiang Shu said, "Che Luofeng! Forget it..." Said quite depressed, he reached out to take a ride to Luo Feng, but was blocked by Che Luofeng. The other party obviously still resented Xiang Shu for beating him.
In front of the king's tent, Chen Xing saw that the situation was a bit wrong, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to pack my things."
"What happened to you?!" Xiang Shu frowned.
"I'm going to ask you this!" Che Luofeng said, "You are the big chanyu of Chilechuan! The foreign enemy has not been eliminated, and the monster Yuduo doesn't know where to hide. You are leaving now? You want to go to the north with this Han Chinese. ?"
"Here is you!" Xiang Shu's voice became stern, and he said seriously, "I hand over the Chilechuan to you, you are the only person I can trust!"
Chen Xing entered the tent and heard this, inexplicably moved by Xiang Shu, and felt a little sad. Perhaps what he had imagined was such a life-and-death friendship.
Che Luofeng said, "I'm not a big danyu! I don't care about things here!"
Xiang Shu sighed wearily and looked at the car Luo Feng.
"Are you a child?" Xiang Shu frowned and looked at Che Luofeng patiently.
"You've changed," Che Luofeng said, "An Da, you've changed, you went to the Central Plains, disappeared for a year, and came back with this unidentified Chinese dog, and now he is fascinated by him, even Isn’t Da Chanyu also inappropriate?!”
Item Description: "You..."
"Who the hell are you saying is a Chinese dog!" Chen Xing finally couldn't bear it anymore, he threw the medicine box, took the longbow from the king's tent, bent the bow and mounted an arrow, and got out of the tent, pulled the longbow and pointed at Che Luofeng , roared, "Han dog? Han dog saved your life! That's how you treat your savior?! Rouran man! You rubbish! You are not as good as a dog!"
Chen Xing finally had enough and couldn't bear it anymore. He had been in Chilechuan these days, and he had been patient. As a guest, he didn't want to have a dispute with Che Luofeng, and he pretended not to see his jealous eyes on weekdays. . But this time he finally broke out and didn't want to endure the car Luofeng any longer.
The arrow pointed at Che Luofeng, there was silence outside the king's tent, the snow began to fall again, the snowflakes flying in the sky and the earth flew around, and the snowflakes fell on the arrow cluster. Xiang Shu stretched out his hand and held Chen Xing's bow and arrow. Star trembling with anger, put away the bow and arrow.
Instead, Che Luofeng laughed and said, "Come on? Let's go out of Sichuan and decide the outcome by riding and shooting? One person and three arrows, fighting for life and death, do you dare, little Han?"
In terms of riding and shooting, how could Chen Xing be the opponent of Che Luofeng? A face to face will be shot to death. Xiang Shu said angrily: "Che Luofeng! If you keep making trouble like this, don't blame me for being angry!"
"Wait!" said a woman's voice, "I'll fight you to the death for him!" It was the Akle princess.
Chen Xing: "…"
King Ackler and the princess came to the tent of King Xiangshu and saw Che Luofeng and Chen Xing are facing each other. The princess said, "The miraculous doctor saved my life and my son's life, and made Yuduo, who died in your hands, to have a younger brother, Ackler. The blood of the blood has been inherited. I will take over your appointment for the magic doctor, Che Luofeng, do you dare?"
Chen Xing hurriedly said: "Wait, I haven't accepted his appointment yet."
Not to mention that the princess should be confinement at home now, and it is impossible for him to agree to Che Luofeng's appointment because of Xiang Shu. However, he is not afraid of his own death. His archery always refers to where to shoot... If he accidentally shoots Che Luofeng off his horse, he has to heal his wounds. Isn't he causing trouble for himself
Sure enough, Xiang Shu sneered: "An A, don't underestimate this Han man. I saw him pierce Yang with a strong crossbow and shoot dead a Han general in full armor."
Che Luofeng said angrily: "Come on! Can you pick it up?"
Xiang Shu waved his hand casually and said coldly: "He doesn't answer, you really want to compare, why don't you compare with him to save people's lives?"
Che Luofeng sneered: "Comparing with a doctor to save people? Can I compare?"
Xiang Shu: "So what? You let the doctor mount a horse and compete with you as a warrior? Are you shameless?"
The corner of Xiang Shu's mouth had a mocking smile, dissolving the tense atmosphere, Chen Xing resentfully retracted his bow, turned and returned to the king's tent, Xiang Shu signaled everyone to come with him, Che Luofeng frowned and said, "What are you doing? "
The captains of the cavalry of all ethnic groups also came. Xiang Shu took away Che Luofeng and went to discuss matters with King Akler and the princess. Before leaving, he glanced at Chen Xing and said, "I will be back in the evening."
Chen Xing wanted to get out, all of you, so he sat aggrievedly in the tent, spread his hands and feet, and lay on the ground, feeling quite uncomfortable. When it was dark, Xiang Shu had not yet returned. Someone came over to deliver food and said, "Danyu is discussing matters, please wait a moment."
"Understood." Chen Xing said angrily, knowing that Chi Lechuan has now dispatched ranger scouts to search for Yuduo's whereabouts and discuss how to deal with the matter, and maybe they are arguing again. Xiang Shu probably had to find Yuduo, and after burning it, he could accompany him north to investigate.
But after a long delay, the weather is getting colder and colder, and I don't know what will happen. When he heard the words in the afternoon, Chen Xing felt quite uncomfortable. During these days, he felt that Xiang Shu would not be a Dharma protector, and in fact he couldn't be. He is a big danyu, and the 300,000 soldiers and people in the Chuanchuan Province respect him. How can he let go of this responsibility
After thinking about it, Chen Xing decided to go first. Anyway, with the protection of Suixing, the 200,000 Qin troops outside the city of Xiangyang, said that they have broken through, bring a map, and bring enough food, at most it will be colder.
So Chen Xing simply packed some medicine, took a longbow, and slung it behind his back. I didn't bring any money, after all, I couldn't use it in a place where no one was there. The horses that Wang bought outside his account were already loaded with dry food and ghee, as well as flint and cotton wool... When he turned around, he saw King Akler leading the horse. , standing in the dark.
"Ah!" Chen Xing was so frightened, he said, "Why are you standing here scaring people?"
King Akler said a few words in Hun language, and then drew a picture to Chen Xing. Chen Xing was full of doubts, and King Akler got on his horse and motioned to come with him.
Chen Xing: "???"
North of the Chile River, outside the Akle camp.
The princess prepared three empty horses, handed one of the reins to Chen Xing's hand, and said, "Your little foal can't stand the cold, it will fall into the snow in three days, ride this one, and put everything away. On the empty horse."
Chen Xing said, "What's wrong? I'm not going out to find Yudo."
The princess said, "I know, you're going to the north, don't you? Let the old man show you the way, and there will be someone to take care of you on the way. You are wearing this dress. In addition, this horse was sent to me by Xiang Yuyan a long time ago. Twenty-two years old, it's an old horse, but it still runs very well, the old horse knows the way, and you don't have to be afraid of getting lost when you come back."
"This is also for you... come." He handed Chen Xing a dagger.
Chen Xing: "…"
Chen Xing looked at the princess and looked at King Ackler. The descendants of the ancient Xiongnu had already prepared all the supplies for them. The men, women and children of the clan went out one after another, kneeling towards Chen Xing and King Ackler.
The princess said, "Go, you will come back safely."
"Driving!" King Akler, dressed in a big cloak, took the lead to leave Chilechuan.
Chen Xing's eyes were wet, he flicked the reins, and followed him out. He turned around and said loudly, "Thank you!" I saw the princess standing in the snow, leading the crowd to bid them farewell. Chilechuan with snow and wind.
It is a four-hundred-mile journey to the Great Lake of Balikun. To the north, you must first cross the Salawusu River, then turn eastward, pass the ancient city pool on the map, and then turn to the north twice, and then run for another six hundred miles. If you don't go in the wrong direction, you can reach Karakasha.
After a blizzard, the snow on the road made it difficult to travel, slowing down the speed of the horses, but fortunately, there was no more blizzard that covered the sky and the sun. After crossing the Salawusu River, the weather turned fine, the sun was shining brightly in winter, and there were wild foxes preying on birds on the white snow.
King Akler was obviously very familiar with the wilderness. This family was famous for their horse-training and raising. They also remembered the terrain very clearly. They knew where to go and where to go. Chen Xing didn't understand the language well with him. At first, he was afraid that the old man was already in his 50s and would not be able to hold on. I didn't expect that the other party's physical strength was much better than his own, and he often hunted game for him on the road.
A few days later, the first stop came. In front of it was a desolate city that was nearly half buried by the wind and snow. There were still a few lights in the city.
"There is actually someone living here!" Chen Xing was shocked. Since he came to Saibei, this is the second distribution center he has seen after Chilechuan. He asked King Akle, "What is this place?"
"Hala and Lin." King Akler understood and explained.
Chen Xing followed King Akler into Decheng. Looking around, he saw that the city occupies a large area, but there are only a few hundreds of households in the city. When he saw a monument in the center of the city, it was written in Han script and Xiongnu script. The name of the common book city: Dragon City.
It was more than 400 years ago, where Wei Qing broke through the Xiongnu. It used to be the place where the Xiongnu sacrificed dragons and assembled their tribes. After Weiqing broke the Dragon City, the place changed from a very prosperous to a very bad place. The Huns moved to Chilechuan one after another, and only the merchants and old people outside the Great Wall stayed in the city temporarily for the winter.
