Chapter 35: The Difficulty of Breaking the Qiang(1/2)
Dong Qi and others caught up with the large group of people. After counting the number of people, they found that in the battle just now, three people died in battle and no one was injured.
Six horses were lost, but they could still be supplemented.
Such a record seemed to be extremely perfect in Dong Zhao and others, but in Dong Qi's eyes, it was still a bit of failure. Faced with such a group of mobs, one side was prepared and the other side rushed to fight, but it still lost manpower. In Dong Qi's plan, there will be many such battles in the future. How many people can safely reach the Hehuang area from now on, until they escape from danger? Dong Qi was a little hesitant.
After breathing a long sigh, Dong Qi followed the team forward.
The gloom on his face made Dong Zhao and others who were originally happy dare not joke anymore, and followed Dong Qi slowly.
According to Dong Qi's plan, their next goal is Jishishan.
But after halfway through, he suddenly stopped the horse, looked at the night sky thoughtfully, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Young Master, why are you laughing at?"
Lu Yi urged her to come forward and ask. Among these many people, she was the only one who could talk to Dong Qi, while the others were a little brave.
Dong Qi replied absent-mindedly: "Lu Yi, what would you think if Han Sui saw so many corpses?"
"You're so angry."
"No, it's not just anger. Dong Zhao, I seemed to hear the Qiang people shouting, "Is their little king dead?"
"Ah, after you said this, I remembered it, it seems that I really shouted."
"Who is Xiao Wang?"
Dong Zhao was not familiar with Shaodangqiang, so he turned his eyes to the two hundred generals who defeated Qiang. The two hundred generals were stunned at first, then woke up, with a look of surprise on their faces, "Young Master, could you kill their little king?"
Because Beigong Bo gave them to Dong Qi, he did not give them a formal identity.
After discussion, the people of Po Qiang decided to recognize Dong Qi as their lord. After all, their family was gone, and treating Dong Qi as their lord was the only choice. Otherwise, they would have to be a horse thief and live a difficult life without any reservation.
However, Dong Qi had not agreed yet, and all the people who defeated Qiang called him the young master.
Dong Qi shook his head, "I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, someone did shout like this when I killed that person."
"Young master, that little king is a name for Shaodang. Shaodang people call their king Lao Wang and their future heir is Xiao Wang. Since they shouted that, it must be Shaodang Xiao Wang. Young master, you kill Shaodang's heir."
"ah?"
Dong Qi was also very surprised. When this luck came, it was really impossible to stop the city wall.
But just after the thought came, another thought arose. He looked at Lu Yi and smiled, "Han Sui was afraid that he was not just angry, but he was afraid he would jump over the wall... Slowly, I killed Shaodang Xiaowang, so how could he let go of the fire? Since Han Sui was a contact person, he might lead his troops to chase us to prove his position... Will Lu Yi?
Lu Yi followed Dong Qi and listened to military books for several years, and was also a little scheming in her heart.
After hearing Dong Qi's words, she thought for a while and nodded, "If it's really a hot-tempered little king, it's very likely that Han Sui."
Dong Qi raised his hand and shouted sternly: "The whole army stayed at the horse!"
"Master, you are..."
"If Han Sui chased me, he would definitely be able to calculate where I was going. When the fire and people join forces with them, we will have wolves in front of us and tigers in the back, so we will be unable to escape his plan. No, we can't just walk to Jishishan like this."
"If you don't go to Jishishan, where will we go?"
Dong Qi closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "Go to the West Sea, let's go to the West Sea!"
"Go to the West Sea?"
"I can't help but go to the West Sea, and I have to go around the circle. The bigger our circle, the less Han Sui will be able to figure out our whereabouts... Dong Zhao sent me an order, and everyone turned immediately, and we walked northwest and set off immediately."
Although Dong Zhao did not understand Dong Qi's intention, he did not hesitate since the order was issued.
"Here!"
After answering the order immediately, Dong Zhao immediately sent an order.
Lu Yi asked strangely: "Young Master, are we just going around in circles?"
"It's not just about going around the circle, we want to rob and kill... Only by completely irritating Han Sui can I take advantage of the situation."
After saying that, he glanced at the energetic people.
Although the blizzard blocked their way, it also gave them plenty of rest time. Therefore, although they ran all night, no one showed any fatigue. Dong Qi thought to himself: This is great, but I don’t know if you can hold on.
*******
Everyone galloped overnight, and after dawn, they found a camp of Po Qiang on the way to the West Sea.
Dong Zhao photographed the horses and soon obtained detailed information about the camp. This was a nomadic group with about 300 people, including men and women, more than 300 horses and nearly 800 cows, which sounded very wealthy.
Dong Qi looked at the hundred generals of Po Qiang, "Do you know this camp?"
"I know, they should be Beigong Yu's people. One of Beigong Yu's concubines seems to be the daughter of the leader of the camp."
"Since that's the case, then don't be polite!"
Dong Qi looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. The Qiang people usually had two meals, one at noon and one at night. Calculate the time, it was the time for dinner. He no longer hesitated and said to Dong Zhao and two hundred generals who defeated Qiang: "Tell me the order and rush into the camp. Anyone who resisted will kill him. I think everyone's stomachs are hungry too!"
Dong Zhao and the other two took the order immediately and left.
They rushed towards the camp far away with thirty horses, and Dong Qi, Lu Yi, and Dong Tie behind them, and walked slowly with seven people.
In the distance, there was a sound of fighting.
The sitting elephant dragon and the lion-maned beast following each other seemed a little restless. Obviously, they felt the breath of the battlefield.
"Dong Tie, Lu Yi, you will take the seven of them and look forward to our horses. I guess these horses are probably not enough!"
I didn't understand what Dong Qi meant, so Dong Qi had already activated the dragon and rushed out like a wind.
There were fire in the camp, and there were bursts of screams. The sound of weapons colliding with people and horses neighing, making it particularly lively. Dong Qi found that when he heard this sound, his blood was boiling.
He had already fallen in love with this feeling and could kill without any scruples, which was a pleasure.
The broad-blade sword was held in his hand, and he roared to the sky and rushed into the camp with a long roar. Two broken Qiang people rushed up and slashed the sword. Dong Qi laughed loudly, and the broad-blade sword plucked the grass and searched for the snake. After two clangs, he swept the opponent's weapons.
The elephant dragon seemed to have a clear understanding and suddenly accelerated.
Dong Qi followed the trend and slashed two swords, whirling the sound of the wind, and chopped the two Qiang people under the horse.
As they rushed in, the broad-blade sword was like the sickle of the god of death. Wherever they passed, people were overturned and their flesh flew everywhere. As Dong Qi had guessed, these people who broke the Qiang were cooking were not prepared at all. In fact, who would be prepared for their own territory?
"Those who surrender do not kill, and those who surrender do not kill!"
As the call from Dong Zhao and others rang out, the resistance in the camp became increasingly weak.
Finally, an old voice shouted: "I will surrender, don't kill you anymore, don't kill you anymore... Everyone is a De Qiang man, why do you kill each other?"
Dong Qi cut off the head of the Qiang man in front of the horse with a knife, allowing blood to splatter on his body.
His armor was stained with blood and dark red. He raised the broad-blade knife and shouted: "Dong's brother, stop!"
The other party had already put down his weapons, and corpses were tilted everywhere in the camp.
Dong Qi ordered people to gather the prisoners together, with nearly 200 people, including dozens of children who looked less than ten years old.
"Who are you? Don't you know that this is the territory of King Po Qiang? And why do you take people to massacre your own tribe?"
"Wuma, who do you recognize me?"
The hundred generals of the Qiang Poxun were urging them to step forward and glared at the elderly who spoke.
"You are...abandoned people, aren't you... already killed by the king? How could you be here?"
"Take the blessing of your son-in-law, your son-in-law, and a family is still alive. Today, I want to kill a warning to all and tell those who betray the king and the princess that the traitors will not die well, and you are role models."
The hundred generals named Qi Ren shouted sternly, and the entire camp was silent for a moment.
Dong Qi ordered another hundred men to gather the war horses and at the same time broke into the cowhide tent to search for easy-to-carry food and clothing.
"Your name is Qi Ren, isn't you?"
"Young master, that's right."
"You said it right. The traitor must die well. You said it very well. Go and gather the war horses with your partner, we will be useful."
The abandoned man looked at Dong Qi, and from his half-closed eyes, he could see Dong Qi's intention.
He wanted to speak, but he swallowed it back when he was at his mouth. He just intervened and bowed, and then hurriedly left with the people.
"I don't know who you are, this hero. But we have surrendered, so please let go of these women and children."
Wuma begged Dong Qi with a grief, but Dong Qi looked at the prisoners with a very strange smile on his face.
"hero!"
"Old man, don't worry, I don't kill people who have no ability to resist, but I will kill you."
"As long as you can let them go, Uma will be a cow and a horse in his life..."
Before he finished speaking, the Broadblade Blade passed by his eyes with a cold light. The head of the horse was cut off, but his body was standing straight, and a burst of passion splattered out. Dong Qi raised the Broadblade Blade, as if he was squeezed out a word from his lungs: "Kill!"
When Dong Zhao heard this, he immediately shouted and rushed over with the people.
Originally, when he heard the prisoners who Dong Qi say he would not kill, he knew that such a situation would occur. Before the young and strong standing in the first row could react, he was cut into a pool of blood by Dong Zhao and others who rushed forward. Dong Qi urged the horse to come to Wu Ma's head, leaned over and lifted his head with a broad-blade knife, "Old man, remember one thing, you must kill the grass and get rid of the root... Hehe, don't glar at me, I didn't break my promise. I only killed you, I didn't kill the others... You die."
With a swing of the knife, the head of the horse flew out and fell on the door frame of the camp.
"Dong Zhao, no one left... no one of those little guys can be let go, otherwise it will cause great trouble in the future."
"Here!"
