The lake is like a mirror, the cattle and sheep are like clouds, the green grass is undulating, and the blue waves are rippling.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of horsemen appeared behind a mound, about 20 people, all wearing armor and holding crossbows, the first one, about 30 years old, white robe and silver armor, it was the Han Hu Wuhuan Zhonglang who led Tian Chou to patrol here.
Tian Chou straddled the white horse, raised his eyes to look at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and was in an extremely happy mood, pointing to the small hill in the distance and laughing loudly: "Let's compete with each other to see who can reach the hill first."
Before the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves on the opposite side was loud, and dozens of horses rolled in front of him, rushing with a murderous aura full of sky.
All of them were quick with scimitars, wearing leather robes, carrying hard bows and sharp arrows at their waists, and they were extremely fierce.
The faces of the hundred people beside him changed and said, "It's not a horse thief, it's a Xianbei person." ” Tian Chou's eyes froze with a cold light, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Prepare a crossbow" Hearing only the sound of Ka and Ka, the soldiers beside him had already raised their crossbows flatly, and a cold arrow was aimed at the front.
As he spoke, the Xianbei cavalry had already roared, and sixty or seventy horsemen were menacing in front of more than twenty Han troops, and the huge difference in numbers seemed to be able to engulf the Han army on the opposite side at any time.
A sturdy Xianbei cavalryman in the lead shouted: "Put down the crossbow arrows and dismount quickly." ” There were sixty or seventy of them, all of them elite soldiers who had grown up on horseback, and there were only about twenty people on Tian Chou's side.
But the Xianbei people obviously don't want to fight hard, but want the opponent to take the initiative to disarm and let them slaughter.
Although they saw the repeating crossbow in the hands of the Han army, no one thought that this crossbow would bring such a lethal power, and they did not think that the Han army would dare to attack in front of an opponent three times their size, unless the Han army did not want to die.
Tian Chou looked at them coldly, these Xianbei cavalry were all covered in blood, and blood was dripping from their long scimitars, as if they had just returned from the battlefield.
A Han army guard suddenly exclaimed: "There is a fire over there." ” The crowd looked up into the distance.
I saw that the village in the distance was full of fire, and there was a faint cry of misery.
The fierce centurion of the Xianbei cavalry finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "I count three times, and those who are still sitting on the horse will be killed on the spot." ” Tian Chou's eyes burst out, and he shouted murderously: "Kill, don't let one go." ” Woohoo As soon as Tian Chou's words fell, the crossbow arrows shot out like a series of cannons, and shot fiercely at the Xianbei cavalry around them.
Within twenty paces, the power of the repeater is absolutely terrifying.
The Xianbei cavalry never dreamed that these Han soldiers would dare to release arrows, only to hear a burst of screams, and the Xianbei people fell one by one in the rain of arrows, like straw.
The Xianbei centurion woke up from a dream and shouted, "Kill" The next moment, however, a bolt struck him in the abdomen like lightning, causing him to scream in pain, followed by another bolt that struck him in the center of his eyebrow.
Twenty-four repeating crossbows, two hundred and forty crossbow arrows, the Xianbei people who were caught off guard fell one after another in the rain of arrows, and when they rushed closer, there were only three or four people left, where did they dare to move, so frightened that they turned around and ran.
It's a pity that no matter how fast the horse is, how can it be faster than a crossbow arrow Tian Chou raised the repeater crossbow in his hand and pressed the crossbow machine fiercely, only to hear the sound of strings, and the three deserters fell off their horses in response.
Tian Chou put away his repeater, drew his sword and pointed at the burning village in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Kill" The guards behind loaded the crossbow arrows, and the group held their weapons high, urging the good horses under their crotches quickly, like thunder, and the momentum was like a rainbow, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping out.
When Tian Chou and the others ran to the village where the embers were still burning, they were stunned by the tragic scene in front of them.
More than 100 houses in the entire village were burned to the ground, and there were ruins everywhere, and green smoke curled everywhere.
There were corpses and blood stains everywhere, and it was shocking.
There are young and strong, there are old people, there are women, there are children.
A four- or five-year-old body, with a head that has disappeared.
A pregnant woman was disemboweled, revealing the fetus inside her belly.
A young man was unloaded, holding a kitchen knife tightly in his severed hand.
It was miserable, and everyone slowly closed their eyes.
Tian Chou pounced, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down in front of the corpses everywhere, tears clouding his eyes.
"Whoa," he roared angrily, his fists clenched so that his bones rang, his eyes wide open, and he spewed flames of extreme anger.
He roared for a while, then finally calmed down a little, lowered his head, and kowtowed respectfully to the corpses all over the ground three times.
The guards behind him also knelt down and kowtowed three times after him.
This day is the day of death of more than 200 Han people, and it is also the day that triggered the endless war between the Han and Xianbei.
In late July 200 AD, Gongsun Bai dispatched all the elite cavalry to the north to attack Xianbei, leaving Zhang He to lead 40,000 Taiping troops to guard the north bank of the Yellow River in the south of Jizhou, Tian Yu to lead 20,000 Jizhou County soldiers to guard Bohai County, and Tian Kai to lead 10,000 former Youzhou troops to guard the south of Bingzhou.
The Mobei grassland in the north of Youzhou is about to set off a bloody storm.
The night is like water, and the sky is full of stars, shining on the tranquil grassland, and there is silence all around.
Inside the tent, Altay and Agula sat opposite each other, holding a flask in one hand and a knife in the other, cutting meat from a charred lamb to eat.
Neither of them spoke, only heard the creaking of firewood, the oil dripping onto the fire, and a flame from time to time, and their hands were greasy, but they didn't care, just wiped them on their bodies, and then went to get the flask.
Altay was the commander who slaughtered and plundered Han villages, and was also the culprit of the Han people's tragedy, while Agora was another commander who was invited by Altay to be a guest.
Agoura looked at the fire, his eyes calm with a hint of worry, and he slowly sipped his wine, thoughtful.
Altay hesitated, raised the flask, and gestured to Agoura: "The Han people's wine is indeed good. ” Agula smiled silently, raised the wine jug and shook it: "Although the wine is good, but brother, you led your troops across the Great Wall without authorization this time and attacked the Han people, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome."
Altay stretched out his fat tongue, licked the wine stains on the side of his mouth, and said with a casual smile: "Brother, you are too worried, the Han land is now in chaos, and the princes of Gongsun Baishang Central Plains are entangled, how can they fight for the life and death of a small village, not to mention, now that Budugen and Fu Luohan are defeated by Da Shan Yu's soldiers, they are about to surrender, so Da Dan Yu will unify the Mobei grassland, and the day of raising troops to the south is not far away, and I am afraid of the Han people."
"Raise troops to the south" Agoura raised his eyebrows and asked in astonishment.
Altay showed a hideous look on his face: "The revenge of the previous Da Dan Yu for being killed, and the shame of the destruction of the royal court of Danhan Mountain, how can you not repay Da Dan Yu and wait for this day for a long time."
Agula was shocked at first, and then showed a look of admiration on his face, and said to himself: "Da Danyu is able to dominate the grassland at a young age, and he has the style of the ancestor Tanshi Huai, and he is indeed a rare male lord of my Xianbei tribe." ” Altay said with a smile: "The land of Youzhou, many years of recuperation, and the production of salt and iron, now it is already very rich, what is it to grab a little, in the future, the entire Youzhou, as well as the Hetao grassland, will be our Xianbei people, is my brother interested in going south with me again, do you have a big vote" Agoura groaned for a while, and finally said decisively: "Okay, it's up to the brother's plan" The two clapped their hands, looked at each other and laughed.

At this moment, a faint sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the ears of the two.
At first, the two of them didn't pay attention, but then the sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder, and they rushed like thousands of horses.
"Could it be the soldiers and horses of Budugen or Furohan?"
The two of them were startled, jumped out of the big tent in unison, looked in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came, and were taken aback.
Two fiery dragons are rapidly approaching.
It was only then that Altay heard a rapid and shrill alarm.
"Woohoo" It was like a stone thrown into a calm pool, and the water rippled but did not attract attention.
Most of the Xianbei people were so tired that they slept like dead pigs, unaware that danger had arrived.
Altay was dumbfounded, he never thought that an enemy would appear at this time.
You must know that Budugen and Fu Luohan's soldiers and horses are trapped in the area of Dragon City in the northwest, and it is basically unlikely that they will appear in the southern part of the grassland.
Altay listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting louder and louder, looked at the fire dragon that was getting closer and closer, and felt the stronger and stronger vibration under his feet, and he was a little stupid for a while.
At this time, the vigilance of the Xianbei people, which had been soaked in blood, finally woke up, and the vibration caused by the trampling of countless horses' hooves on the ground woke them up, although they were not yet fully awake, but they instinctively ran out of the big tent, and jumped on their war horses one after another, ready to fight.
It's just that although instinct is reminding them of what they should do, the command can't do what they can, and the leaders of the towns just clenched their swords, but they don't know how to straighten out the formation.
Altay looked at the chaotic tribes, like a lightning strike, all the wine he drank turned into cold sweat, and came out of his body, instantly soaking the silk clothes that were snatched from the Han people.
The "adults" guards hugged him, and couldn't help but say, helping him put on the armor and help him onto the war horse.
Altay was fiddling with the guards, thinking nervously, and from time to time conveying orders, trying to prepare for the battle as soon as possible.
However, he drank too much, his brain was a little swollen, and his thinking was far from keeping up with the changes in the situation, and before he could get ready, the advance of the Han army had already approached the big camp.
Under the night, a phantom like clouds and snow galloped in, like a white wave, rolling towards the Xianbei people's town.
White Horse Yicong, the most elite division of the Han Dynasty Zhao Yun was ordered by Gongsun Bai to travel 200 miles on light horses in one day, only to take revenge and avenge more than 200 Han souls "Release the arrow" Zhao Yun stepped on the stirrup and stood up, raised his gun and roared, the soldiers behind him let go of the bowstring in their hands, shot out the rockets in their hands, and in an instant, a thousand stars flew flat, jumped over a distance of one hundred and ten steps, turned around and went down, and threw themselves into the fall of the Xianbei people.
Batches of rockets landed on the tents, quickly igniting the tents, illuminating the Xianbei people's accommodation as if it were daylight.
Some of the panicked Xianbei people went to put out the fire, some went to grab property, and less than half of them turned to fight.
But they want to queue up without a queue, they want a formation without a formation, how can they be the opponent of the White Horse Yicong, as soon as they come into contact, they will be killed by the White Horse Yicong.
