The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 318

It was late at night, and there was a long team moving forward in a quiet valley. In the middle of the team were grain and grass loaded by rickshaws, and a team of barbarian cavalry guarded each side.

The hair of these Hu cavalrymen is braided, and their appearance and style should belong to the Qiang people.

The Qiang people had a population of more than 100 million in the five counties of Shaanxi in the Western Han Dynasty. After these years of reproduction, their number has continued to increase.

Han Sui controlled the most powerful Yeli tribe in Liangzhou, so the task of transporting food and grass this time naturally fell on the Yeli tribe. The cavalry escorting the grain and grass was selected by the chief of the Yeli tribe. Composed of the elite.

"Khan, shall we rest for a while before leaving?" A tall Qiang warrior approached a gray-haired middle-aged man and asked, his face showing endless exhaustion.

The continuous rush for the past few days is nothing to a nation on horseback, but once the grain and grass are escorted, there will be problems. They have to take care of the speed of the manpower wheelbarrow, and also take into account the damage of the vehicles that may appear at any time in the team. After several times of tossing about such emergencies, these Qiang warriors who were originally brave and good at fighting were all listless.

"Great God Baishi is with us, let the big guys persevere, and we can have a good rest when we arrive at the place after dawn." As the patriarch, the middle-aged man thinks more. miserable.

Boom!Boom!
As soon as the middle-aged patriarch finished speaking, there was a rush of hoofbeats.

In the Liangzhou area, because Hu people and Han people live together, there are many bandits and horse thieves in the local area, among which the most powerful is the horse thieves, the "refugees". This group of horse thieves has been in Liangzhou for three years.

During the past three years, horse bandits and refugees not only plundered passing caravans, but also beat up Han Sui and Ma Teng’s Qiu Feng from time to time, because they were all horse bandits, relying on the speed and mobility of their horses, and Han Sui didn’t want to waste time encircling them. So this horse thief has survived very well.

It was Han Sui's connivance that made the leader of the 'refugees' mistakenly believe that the imperial army was vulnerable. After learning of Han Sui's route of transporting grain and grass, he rushed over without stopping.

"Yeli Khan, there are enemies coming!" A Han general pulled out from the team and said to the middle-aged man. This is the person Han Sui sent to supervise the Yeli tribe.

"Don't worry, general, I will make these horse thieves regret it!" Yeli Khan said with a smile.

After Yeli Khan finished speaking, the expression on his face immediately became serious, and he began to command the warriors under his command loudly in the Qiang language.

After a while, the group of Qiang warriors who were still a bit sluggish began to move, and the two groups of cavalry twisted forward like two peerless vicious pythons. Those who are timid can be frightened to the point of weakness.

But the 'refugees' are not real refugees, they are a group of organized and very brutal horse thieves, they will not be frightened by the momentum of the Qiang warriors.

The warriors of the Qiang nationality dispersed before they met the 'refugees', which caused the leader of the 'refugees' to show a disdainful smile. He will become a rich man in Liangzhou.

Of course, there will always be a big difference between ideal and reality.

The Qiang warriors spread out not because of their lack of strength, but because they did not accidentally injure their comrades.

The two groups of cavalry collided together, and there was a loud shout of killing immediately.

Although the refugees claim to have experienced many battles, they are not as good as the Qiang people who have lived on horseback since they were young.

Many horse thieves among the refugees swung their ring-headed knives at the Qiang warriors, only to find that there was no one on their horses. When they found the figure again, they had a glaring waist knife stuck in their chest.

Qiang warriors can clamp the horse's belly with their legs and then rotate around the horse's belly, or they can turn sideways and directly pull down a horse thief, wrap a rope around the horse thief's neck and strangle him to death.

In less than half an hour, those horse thieves 'refugees' who were still full of confidence were horrified to find that most of their companions were already lying on the ground.

"Kill them all, build a Jingguan!" Yeli Khan shouted loudly.

Because Yeli Khan speaks Chinese, those horse thieves will run away as soon as they turn their horses.

It's a pity that those Qiang warriors reacted much faster than they did, and directly tightened their mouths to surround all the remaining 'refugees'.

"Brothers, fight with this group of beards. Killing one is enough money, and killing a pair is enough!" The leader of the refugees screamed as he reached out to wipe the blood on his face, looking like a madman.

Puchi!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the leader of the refugees finished shouting, a horse thief behind him cut off his head with a knife, then got off his horse and prostrated himself on the ground, begging for mercy loudly: "My lords, please let me live!"

None of the Qiang warriors around responded to him, they just looked at him indifferently, Yeli Khan had already ordered, and they would naturally follow, so no matter what, the horse bandits and refugees were doomed to perish.

An hour later, a Jingguan built with human heads next to the site where the battle originally took place has been completed.

Yeli Khan ordered the team to move on without joy or sorrow, but there were already some laughter in the team. It was a good thing they found on the horse thief when they were watching the base. Everyone was talking in a low voice When I got something good, the original depressed mood was swept away.

These horse thieves really rained in time, which made the children feel much better.Seeing that everyone's mood had improved, Yeli Khan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his good mood didn't last long, because a very hidden trap appeared in front of him not long after walking. It was actually a deep ditch across the valley. Once the wooden stake falls, it is almost certain to die.

Naturally, this kind of trap would not fall into the hands of the Qiang people who were familiar with trapping and hunting methods. Ye Li Khan immediately ordered the large army to rest in place, and then assigned half of them to cut down trees and build wooden bridges so that the team could move forward.

Although it took a few hours before, if there is no such deep ditch trap before, Yeli Khan is thinking that he can transport the grain and grass to Han Sui's barracks in advance, but if the wooden bridge is not laid in time now, I'm afraid there won't be enough time.

Seeing the half of the people abandoning their horses and running wildly towards the woods on both sides, Ye Li Khan grabbed his head inexplicably, and he faintly sensed something was wrong.

But looking around, the slightly sparse woods seem to be unable to hide people.

Am I worrying too much?Yeli Khan shook his head somewhat self-deprecatingly.
