Chapter 414: The Bank of the Ussuri River

In the early morning, even when the sky was still dark, a large number of horses and ox carts set out from the Barrow tribe and headed straight for the Ussuri River in the northwest.

You should know that although the distance between the two is only about fifty miles, the difficulty of the journey is beyond our imagination.

Because it is the time to melt snow, there is not even a complete road here, it is muddy and there are still pits everywhere. If you accidentally fall into it, the horse will fall into it. After walking ten miles, you have already broken more than twenty horses.

Although most horses only break their legs, in such an environment, breaking their legs means there is no way to walk anymore, and it is impossible for someone to take care of them. Therefore, the warriors of the Barrow tribe can only kill the horses, and put large pieces of horse meat on the carriage to prepare for lunch and supper.

Fortunately, there are many horses in the Barrow tribe. If it were replaced by Essay Island, I am afraid that Yamazaki Kenyun would have to fight for me.

It was not until this time that I understood why Jia Ba and the others suggested that we use ox carts. Although the ox was walking very slowly, its pace was steady and its feet were solid. It would not break its legs immediately after falling into a mud pit. After helping to pull it out, it could continue to move forward.

However, the speed was very slow, which made Xiao Yiner, who was anxious, had already sucked the horse's butt several times, and was full of hatred.

Seeing her anxious, I thought for a while, and said to Elder Cheli, preparing two horses for more than 500 of us. Under the leadership of the experienced Jurchen warriors, I took the shortcut and walked first.

Anyway, we give fine salt, spices, "golden tea" and fine wine as compensation. Elder Cheli hopes that we will lose more - anyway, the Barrow tribe has many horses. After the Bao brothers compensated, the horse would not take it away. The broken horses can still transport some things at close range. After a few years of age, they can still be slaughtered and eaten, and it will not be wasted at all.

In summer, the Ussuri River still has many fish resources, and there are also many people from the Barrow tribe. At that time, I went to fish for vague fish resources, so I would not go wrong when I set out on the road.

As for the guy Cha Zhalie, he was drowsy when he escaped. Of course, he didn't know the way, so he could only follow us.

After we separated the ox caravan, our speed increased a lot. It took two hours to reach the distance of forty miles. Even if we lost hundreds of war horses, it was very worth it.

"arrive!"

Several warriors of the Barrow tribe pointed to a small river that had melted ice in the distance, "This is the Ussuri River. Next month, it will completely thaw, and then thousands of fish will wander in the river. It is very spectacular."

"A few more miles ahead, our camp!" After walking here, Cha Zhalie also saw some familiar things he was familiar with, and pointed to the west excitedly, "Hurry, that's it!"

Xiao Yiner was also excited when she heard this, and followed Cha Zhalie and ran away quickly, scaring the Jurchen warriors next to her to follow him quickly. There must be no accident in this aunt. Otherwise, our fine salt, fine wine, and good tea will be gone!

I didn't dare to be careless, and followed Xiao Yin'er in a flash. So thousands of horses raised dust and soil again and galloped into the distance.

When we walked to the near Ussuri River, the road was easier to walk. The two or three miles were fleeting. After crossing a small slope, we finally saw the dense tent next to a small wood.

The tent was ragged and crowded, and about one or two thousand people came out to walk around. Everyone was busy with something, some were cutting trees, some were making fires, and some were cleaning up the snow.

"Ah... someone is here!"

"It's a Jurchen barbarian!"

"Quick! Escape into the woods, hurry!"

When they saw us coming, their first reaction was not to be happy, but to be scared and ran into the tent, grabbed their wives and children and ran away.

There were also three or five hundred strong men gathered together, holding weapons such as swords, guns, sticks, etc., and bravely and tragically blocking the road to the tent.

"kill!"

They shouted loudly, but it didn't seem like they were killing the enemy bravely, but they seemed to be encouraging themselves.

"Don't get me wrong, it's me! Cha Zhalie!" Cha Zhalie was the first to ride a horse and ran over, "Han Mu! Xiao Gu! Ming Qishu... Look, who is here?"

The second person who ran away was Xiao Yiner, but this time the Jurchen warriors learned their lessons. A dozen people stood in front of her, and more than a dozen people surrounded her. Anyway, she didn't want to be exposed.

Even so, due to the terrain, some people have seen clearly the whiteness among the knights.

"It's really Cha Zhaliu!"

"Who is the woman behind? Why are she so familiar?"

“Ah…yes…”

"Empress?"

"Empress!"

"It's the Empress here! The Empress is here to save us!!"

“Woo woo…”

As Xiao Yiner whipped the horses of the Jurchen knights in front of him with a horse whip, she appeared at the front of the team again. Everyone finally saw it clearly. They were all like Cha Zhalie, and they knelt down and cried loudly. They were not as tragic as fighting to the death just now. Instead, they looked like the expression of the wronged child when he saw his mother.

Listening to them all shouting, the Khitans who were fleeing into the woods also looked back and saw Cha Zhalie and Xiao Yiner who were getting closer and closer, even stopped in front of the sniper camp.

"It's...Empress Xiao!"

"The Empress is here~~"

Almost repeating the actions of the people just now, a group of men, women, young and old, except for the children, all ran over and rushed towards Xiao Yiner.

I frowned and signaled that the Rakshasa guard flags all stood over and blocked Xiao Yiner's side.

Although Cha Zhalie guaranteed that these people would not hurt Xiao Yin'er, my wife is mine, and I don't want to hand over her safety to others.

Everyone rushed towards Xiao Yiner, and Xiao Yiner also wanted to walk between them, but the Rakshasa guard flag was eyeing him and knocking away all those who wanted to get close to Xiao Yiner. For a moment, a vacuum appeared between them.

The crowded voices also tend to decline because they saw such a scary Rakshasa ghost.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The cold and beautiful young woman was very impatient and shouted loudly.

"Mrs. Young Madam, you must pay attention to safety." The leader of the Rakshasa team leader said, "Who knows who this group of people is..."

"Rareless!" Xiao Yin'er was angry, "They are all my subordinates, my relatives and friends, how could they harm me? Even if they kill me, I will not be resentful. Get out of here! Otherwise I will be polite!"
