After a long, long time, I don't know how many years have passed, so long that Lingqiang has left Hehuang and plunged into the vast plateau, with only a few horses and tamed yaks left around him, and sheep that could not adapt to this cold climate and were slaughtered one after another.The area where they live is no longer the fertile Huangshui River Valley, and it is far away from the familiar sea of fresh water and the Lazhi Mountain, and as far as the eye can see, it is a strange desolation.In the distance, there are big snow-capped mountains that towering into the sky, like an upside-down silver bowl, Xian Lingqiang is just a passerby, and herds of Tibetan antelopes, wild yaks and wolves are the masters of this plateau.Whenever the children and grandchildren can't stand the cold wind and the hardships of migrating year after year, and ask why Xian Ling left his fertile hometown and came to this bitter cold land, he will sing an epic poem for them.About grief and suffering.About desolation and hardship.About life and trauma.About Migration and Hope.It tells the bravery of our ancestors.It tells the strength of the ancestors."
They have migrated from the Huangshui Shoal in the wilderness.""
They migrated from the reckless steppes.""
They are splattered with the sword and blood of the cunning demon soldiers!"
Sitting around a bonfire with dried cow dung burning to the sound of the Qiang flute, it was as if to tell the young people in song that the demon soldiers came from the East, calling themselves "Han", and their only purpose was to conquer the whole world as far as their eyes could see, and turn all the Qiang people into slaves."
The demon soldiers live in stone and earthen fortresses, and there are seven or eight people stacked on top of each other.""
The bow and arrow of the demon soldier is different, and the range is two or three times longer than that of the Qiang bow.""
The arrow is as thick as a baby's arm, and it can pierce a person on the spot and kill the next person behind him.""
The demon soldiers have iron scales on their bodies, and the Qiang people's swords can't be broken even if they are cut open.""
The demon soldiers are not riding horses, but tigers, and the Qiang people's war horses are so frightened that their souls are scattered."
So they were defeated, they fled, fled far away, migrated to the southwest, to join the relatives and tribes "Faqiang", who also migrated far away, and also to find the legendary paradise under the rock in the warm and fertile river valley on the other side of the Great Snow Mountain.Along the way, as a master of the tribal memory, Shi Bi has to compile a song about his past experiences, so as to tell his children and grandchildren that he will learn the lessons of the two wars and never go back to the northeast again, and the farther away from the Han people and the demon soldiers, the better!"
What is a tiger?"
The young men of the tribe had never seen a tiger, and after leaving the river, they could not find this animal on the plateau, only wolves and snow leopards on the rocky cliffs.Whenever this happens, the old man will recall the battle outside the West Ting Plug, the scene when he was young and the "demon soldiers", and the Captain of the Qiang Protector who couldn't be killed."
It's a fierce beast with black and yellow patterns on its body" On the day of the Battle of the West Thunder Barrier, attacking the south wall was the task of Jufei, and when he saw the Qiang Guardian Captain Da Min and Xiao Yue on the Red Stone Cliff starting to slowly approach this side, he was not worried but happy.The Han army in the city fortress was more difficult to deal with than the opponents encountered by the Qiang people in several sieges of Jincheng County, and it was difficult to even touch the city, Yang Yu had changed his strategy and decided to annihilate the Han army and Xiaoyue's cavalry that were roaming outside.And it is not that the more than 4,000 Qiang people who have turned their backs to the red stone cliff are the bait.This is not the damn glacier, but the river valley and mountains that the Qiang people are familiar with, and the terrain is not flat, which can give full play to the strengths of the Qiang horse."
Get on the horse!"
Like the Dian Kingdom established by the Qiang people in the south, the Qiang people's war horses also had unilateral riding ropes, which looked like unilateral stirrups, which made them get on their horses a lot faster.The four thousand Qiang cavalry turned their horses' heads, aimed at the menacing Qiang Lieutenant, and met them without hesitation.According to the habits of the Qiang people, they will not dismount and shoot with the Huns in general, or more hard-core cavalry shooting, but hold a spear with a cedar pole, and directly charge to kill, which is called "fruit in the touch", the ice battle, they were washed away before they had time to play, and today is a good opportunity for shame.But the two sides are still far apart, as if they sense that something is wrong with each other, this strange feeling comes from the war horse of the Han cavalry, and it is actually also wearing armor: a whole curtain is formed with the horse's face, the eyes are open, and Ren Huqiang's mount is decorated with tassels between the ears, and the red tassels shake with the running, which is particularly energetic.Compared with the original vest wrapped in a whole cowhide during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the horse armor of the Han Dynasty has advanced a lot, the chicken neck, the chest, the body armor, and the rectangular armor piece is connected after the ride, and the lacquer is painted with black and yellow patterns.Of course I don't know, it's not a tiger, it's just a war horse with armor and a pattern.But his horses didn't know.The Qiang people are brave and not afraid of death, even if the opponent is well-armoured, they are not afraid, but the war horse ridden by the Qiang dragged its feet, and was frightened by the black and yellow patterns, and the footsteps in the front row began to be messy and hesitated.The Qiang people shouted with their spears, and the knights on the opposite side raised their ring-headed knives high, and when the two sides staggered to fight, the Qiang people fell off their horses one after another, and the moment of panic before touching the sudden burst made many Qiang riders lose their lives in vain.The cavalry on both sides collided like two behemoths, and the "Jincheng Tiger Cavalry" formed a diamond-shaped formation, and the forwards led by Han Dangdang were rampage, and the sharp ring knives were constantly raised and fell, and the spears and halberds came and went.In this hand-to-hand combat, the armor of the Han soldiers and horses was of great use, while the Qiang people, the simple armor and horses without armor were cut open by weapons.But he couldn't help but have a large number of Qiang riders, and they kept coming from the left and right, trying to surround them before the tiger riders broke through the array and escaped.The Xiaoyue clan did not pull his crotch this time, and according to his own combat habits, he spread out on the left and right sides, and in turn surrounded the Qiang people.Their archery skills were better than those of the Qiang, and they suddenly shot a rain of arrows forward, and immediately retreated when the Qiang people rode forward, and so on, constantly killing and injuring the Qiang people who were crowded to surround the banner of the Qiang captain.The Jincheng Tiger Rider pecked into the flesh and blood of the Qiang people like a sharp crane beak, and the Xiaoyue clan was like the wings of a crane, fluttering back and forth, with the cooperation of the two sides, forcing the Qiang Rider who had suffered heavy losses to retreat, Han Dangdang and the others were still addicted to killing, and wanted to continue the pursuit, but were stopped by the sharp Ming Jin.Ming Jin was Ren Hong, and his first sword, which was said to be the best in Jincheng County, was lost.That's right, it's lost, when Fang just rushed to kill, Ren Hong's knife finally saw blood, but it's a pity that the other party rushed too hard when chopping, a knife cut into the brain, the knife stuck on the enemy's head, and was led away by the panicked mount, Ren Hong didn't have time to pull it out, more embarrassing than the white blade, it was an empty blade.He could only change the spear, become a spearman again, and retract his horse to look left and right from behind: "How many people have been broken?"
”Zhang Yaoli reported the approximate number: "Dozens." ”And in the short battle, the other side paid the price of at least hundreds of casualties, and now limping horses and wailing Qiang people are everywhere.Zhao Han'er's warning sounded: "Junhou, the Qiang people have come around from the north wall!"
”"It's a trap."
Ren Hong saw that the Qiang cavalry who was originally in the western wall as a reserve team copied from the north and south, and the number of people was no longer known whether there were thousands or tens of thousands, anyway, the fields around Xitingsai were trampled on, and this month's spring plowing was all in vain.Although the Qiang people lacked order and the outflanking was chaotic, the number was frightening enough.Ren Hong, who did not want to have heavy casualties, immediately beckoned everyone to withdraw to the east, and let the branch surnamed Xiaoyue Clan be behind.Xiaoyue's clan is better at riding and shooting than the Qiang people, and Zhao Han'er and the Wusun cavalry brought by Ubu are also mixed in, in the chase, Zhao Han'er deliberately slowed down the horse's speed, repeatedly reflexively opened the bow, and shot down more than ten Qiang people.It's just that the disadvantages of the horse's armor are revealed at this time: the body is heavy, the speed is slow, and the Qiang rider is getting closer and closer, and the Xiaoyue clan behind the palace has already run ahead, but the bulky tiger rider is a few hundred steps away from being caught up.Just when Yu Fei, who was chasing with the horse's belly tightly in his arms, was staring at the captain of the Qiang Guard getting closer and closer, and felt that revenge was expected to show joy, with a trumpet, the tiger rider suddenly split into two under the leadership of Ren Hong and ran towards the terraces on both sides.The Qiang people also stopped the pursuit, appeared in the distant river valley, is a rapid march to arrive in the Han army cavalry, the number of two or three thousand people, spears such as a forest, the brave young Xin Qingji jumped in front, previously by the imperial court fiercely applied, Xin Wuxian who was determined to prove himself personally drove the chariot, across the Qiang cavalry!
It was the soldiers of Jincheng County who came to help.Both sides stopped, the Qiang people occupied the western end of the valley in a chaotic manner, and the Han army, which had just arrived after a rapid march of dozens of miles, joined Ren Hong at the eastern end of the valley.No one made a move, because it was not the best time, and no one retreated, because they all knew that this was a crucial decisive battle.The Han and Qiang armies faintly confronted each other in this way.Breaking this balance is the rumbling hooves from the north bank of the Huangshui, a new force, impressively appeared on the other side of the river, they have three or four thousand people, their horses are shorter than the Hequ horses, but the hair is longer, the riding style is braided hair, it is the Xiaoyue clan, but it is not the three branches of the Han Dynasty who have returned to the Great Han, more bows and swords, looking at the two armies opposite.Xin Wuxian in the east had a solemn face, but Yu Fei in the west was overjoyed."
It's the reinforcements that Daigo Ada brought!
The wolf's surname is Satsuki!
