Chapter 273 Burning Wheat Field

In August, the wilderness outside the city of Zhengzhou is covered with brilliant yellow.

After Li Yan managed Henan for two years, the people started farming again, and the local area gradually regained some vitality.

Since the competition between Ming and Shun for Guanzhong ended, Henan has a relatively stable environment, the people can be fixed in one place, and there is land to cultivate, so a large area of ​​crops is sown.

Originally, the crops in the fields were about to ripen, and the hardships of the people in Zhongzhou were coming to an end. As a result, when the Qing army came, most of the people fled.

One day, on a small road to the southwest of Zhengzhou City, a Tartar leader led more than a dozen vests and infantry, escorted a group of people, and drove several carts, heading for Zhengzhou.

On both sides of the path, there are patches of crops, the autumn wind blows, rolling up layers of wheat waves, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grain and wheat grass, which makes people feel refreshed.

This should have been a beautiful picture, but the people driven by the Tartars could not appreciate the joy of the upcoming harvest.They are crying because they cannot control their own destiny.

A few Tartars rode on horses, but looked around with more interest, pointing at the surrounding crops, discussing how to live a few days, and when the crops were ripe, they would bring some slaves to harvest them.

At this time, the team was advancing, and the leader of the Tartars walking in the middle of the team suddenly reined in their horses and looked up at the sky.

More than a dozen Tartars also reined in their horses one after another, and they were a little surprised when they saw the black grass dust like catkins floating in the sky.

The leader stretched out his hand to catch the black ashes, crushed it with his fingers, and his face was shocked.

Several times at the same time, the Tartars looked back one after another, only to see the gray sky in the south, with black ashes flying all over the sky, the scene was extremely spectacular.

On the horizon, there is another scene, with fires flickering everywhere, and the earth is red.

For a time, the sky was dark, the ground was red, and there were columns of smoke in the middle, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking, and the end was coming.

At this moment, the leader of the Tartars burst into anger, swearing out a burst of barbarian language, he unhooked his horse, led two horsemen, and ran southward, while the rest of the Tartars yelled at the people, Make them squat down, then press the knife in their hands, and look around vigilantly.

The three Tartar cavalry galloped rapidly, and within a short time, they ran for about ten miles, and saw the blazing wheat fields in the distance.

Between the field ridges, there were still many figures running around with torches, setting fire to the fields everywhere.

The Tartars instantly understood that it was the southern barbarians deliberately setting the fire, and the leader was also arrogant and rampant. There were only six of them, so they drew their sabers from their waists and charged forward with bows and arrows, intending to destroy this group of desperate barbarians.

When the soldiers who set the fire saw a few Tartars approaching, there was a commotion and they ran away.

At this time, several cavalrymen in black armor saw the Tartars in the distance, and the leader, a big red-faced man, immediately raised a Guan knife, and said to the left and right: "Don't move, learn a little!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Dawei clamped his horse's belly and rushed out alone, leaving behind several cavalrymen who looked at each other in blank dismay.

The Tartar cavalry noticed this cavalry, and the leader squinted his eyes, clenched his saber tightly, and a vest behind him bent his bow and set an arrow while galloping, and shot out with a "swoosh", and went straight to the red-faced man.

Hu Dawei galloped on his horse, seeing the three Tartars in front of him, he couldn't help sneering on his face.

He has been fighting for many years, and his martial arts are so strong that a few Tartars don't pay attention to him at all.Today, he will try his skills for a while and let Gao Yihuan see his skills.

Thinking of this, he shouted loudly and galloped on his horse. Just at this moment, a tartar in front let go of his bowstring and shot an arrow at him.

Hu Dawei sneered, it's a trivial matter, he had already lifted the knife in his hand so that he could easily push the arrow away.

He has been in battle for many years, and he still has this confidence. At the moment when the arrow came, he swung the knife suddenly with a sneer, and when he closed the knife, a gust of wind slashed towards the arrow, intending to cut the shaft of the arrow in two. part.

"Huh!" Hu Dawei's face suddenly changed, "Damn it, it's too late to block."

Perhaps it was because he had been imprisoned for a year and a half, had never used a weapon, was unfamiliar with his skills, and had become puffy. Hu Dawei made a mistake in his judgment, and he slashed through the air with his knife, and an arrow hit him in the left shoulder.

This made his face turn even redder, and at this time the leader of the Tartars had already raised his saber to slash at him, Hu Dawei became angry instantly, and hurriedly swung the saber away with the leader's saber, and then turned off the saber to fish it back, but it was only behind the Tartars. Lightly slashed his back.

Hu Dawei was very annoyed when he failed to kill the enemy under the horse with one attack, but he got an arrow instead.

After the first fight, Hu Dawei found some sense. At this moment, a Tatar on the left stabbed with a spear, and a Tatar on the right slashed straight with a knife. Hu Dawei immediately judged that the impact of the gun was great and the threat was great, so he immediately With a wide eye, he cut off the Tartar who was holding the gun first from his horse, but the Tartar slashed his right shoulder, cutting a hole in his armor.

After this fight, he killed one person, but he was also injured.

His brothers all watched, Hu Dawei is also a person who wants face, he was furious immediately, pulled his horse and killed him again, the two tartars were a little surprised, they didn't expect that one man was hacked to death by a barbarian, and they were also furious immediately Pull the horse's rein, turn the horse's head to fight.

Two Tartars, one on the left and the other on the right, swept towards his waist with two swords shining with cold light. When Hu Dawei met, his body suddenly turned to the side of the horse, and the knife in his hand swept across the horse's legs. The soldier was thrown flying by the horse and hit the ground heavily.

The leader slashed at him, but Hu Dawei dodged it sideways, and the leader slashed empty, but at the moment when the horses crossed, Hu Dawei sat back on the saddle and took out a knife from the back, which happened to hit the leader. Push your back.

The horse carried the leader and galloped for more than ten steps, and the leader's body slowly fell to the ground.

At this time, several black armored cavalrymen came up to meet him, Hu Dawei hurriedly folded the arrow shaft on his shoulder, and waved coldly: "Cut off the head of the Tartar!"

In the city of Zhengzhou, Abatai and Boluo were discussing food and grass matters in the room.

Due to the failure of the last trip to Shandong, not to mention the lack of supplies, and the loss of more than 8000 horses, Abatai and Boluo can only play support this time to help Duoduo with logistical matters.

"Ama, Prince Yu asked us to raise [-] shi of grain, and we have raised less than half of it so far." Boluohui reported: "The villages near Zhengzhou have almost run out of people, what should we do next?"

Abatai smiled, "You don't have to worry about this. There are large fields of crops outside Zhengzhou City that are about to mature. If you ask some people to harvest them, not only can you get enough for the [-] shi that Prince Yu asked for, but we can also have some leftovers."

Bo Luo heard the words and realized that he was only thinking about robbing, but he forgot that there were still crops confiscated in the field.

"Then I will arrange manpower to collect it in a few days!"

At this moment, a leader of the Tartars suddenly entered the hall and reported anxiously, "Lord Baylor, the barbarians burned the wheat fields outside the city."
