Chapter 3 The first edge
Hou Dayong defeated Qu YouNugu in the horn sacral and gained the respect of his tribe. Shudiji was even more powerful than Qu YouNugu, and Hou Dayong was not sure to defeat him. Similarly, Shudiji saw Hou Dayong's exquisite tricks and felt it was difficult to deal with it. The two were like black bears and tigers on Baitou Mountain, both of whom were concerned about each other, but they did not dare to fight easily. When a young man with good things encouraged Hou Dayong and Shudiji to compete, they were rationally pushed away by both sides, but who was the strongest seed was still in the hearts of these two competitive men. The two had never fought. When the two were fighting for life and death face to face, it was already ten years later.
The pistol is Hou Dayong's secret weapon. Hou Dayong puts the pistol firmly around his waist and never leaves his body. However, there are only twenty bullets in total, and two bullets have been used. Now, one shot is less than one shot. This is like time. One day is less than one shot. There is no way to add it. After the bullet is used up, the pistol is a pile of scrap iron. Hou Dayong decided that only at the most critical moment can the gun be fired, and each shot must play a decisive role. Hou Dayong also realized that if he wants to survive in ancient society, a pistol cannot solve all problems, and he must learn the survival skills of ancient society.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the people of Sumo and Mohe have had frequent interactions with the Han people in the Central Plains. Many of them have a little understanding of Zhongyuan, and a few of them are proficient in Zhongyuan. The middle-aged man I met last time, he traveled around the Central Plains all year round and was the famous Zhongyuan Tong in the tribe. Every time he hunted, Hou Dayong tried his best to be with him, learn ancient Zhongyuan, and understand the economic, social, scientific and political situations of the Central Plains at that time.
Time flies like water, and the autumn is getting stronger and stronger. In a blink of an eye, it has been several months since Hou Dayong came to ancient times. Hou Dayong took the initiative to integrate into the Sumo Man, and his survival skills were greatly improved, especially in hunting activities. Hou Dayong showed his extremely high organizational talent, and even suddenly cried out.
In the busy life, Hou Dayong tried hard to adjust his mentality and used to adapt to life to soothe the deeper and deeper longing in his heart. During the tense life, Hou Dayong appeared in front of everyone as a strong and wise man. When he returned to the simple tent and took out his mobile phone, his wife and daughter's voice, appearance and smile would always appear in front of him vividly. Hou Dayong was afraid of facing the elves in his mobile phone alone, but the first thing he did when he went home every day was to turn on the mobile phone. The battery of a military mobile phone was very durable. A battery could be used for about a year, but the battery was finally consumed. At that time, the only bridge connecting another world would be lost. Hou Dayong didn't know whether he could face the blow of completely losing his wife and daughter.
Winter is coming soon. According to tradition, the tribe members are preparing to go to the mountainous areas to hunt, striving to hunt more prey for winter. This hunting is the most important hunt before winter. Basically, the whole tribe mobilized, all male members participate in the hunt, and women follow them to peel and smoke the prey they have captured. The hunting process is tense and orderly, and everyone, especially the elderly and children, are full of expectations. Every time a large number of prey is transported back, it will cause long-term joy.
Hou Dayong participated in this hunt for winter treasure for the first time. He was very lucky. On the first day, he and a few hunters hunted black bears. Then he harvested continuously every day. On the fifteenth day, an accident occurred.
After entering a large forest with several other hunters, the war horse seemed extremely uneasy and refused to enter the forest. Shu Diji realized that there was a beast. He was very skilled and brave. He got off the horse and took three hunters into the forest. The woods were in a valley, and the trees were tall, mostly old trees that could be surrounded by two or three people. The mountain wind blew, and the thick shade of the trees were moving, which was the favorite place for Siberian tigers to live. Shu Diji carefully observed the ground and found some feces. Judging from the color and shape of the feces, this was left by Siberian tigers. The hunters followed the feces and gradually approached the Siberian tiger's residence. Finally, an adult tiger was found in the depths of the dense forest. The adult tiger also noticed the danger and looked at the hunter vigilantly.
The direction was in, but he did not walk away. Chu Diji and waited slowly to approach it, and stopped within the range of arrows. The four of them set their bows and arrows together, aimed at the Siberian tiger's vital points. After the Siberian tiger was caught, it made a low roar and rushed towards Chu Diji. Chu Diji and the four of them were experienced hunters. They were all experienced hunters. They were extremely fierce without waiting for the tiger to approach, and rushed to the hunter. After hitting more than a dozen forks, the Siberian tiger fell to the ground unwillingly.
Sudhiji looked carefully and recognized the Siberian tiger as a female tiger. He did not avoid people. It was very likely to be protecting the small tiger. According to common sense, after the Siberian tiger gave birth to a small tiger, the male tiger in the Northeast will leave and will not be nearby. However, looking at the dead Siberian tiger, a feeling of ominousness suddenly surged in his heart. At this moment, a deafening tiger roar came from behind. A big tiger with white eyes jumped out of the forest. A hunter caught off guard and his head was bitten by a tiger. The huge sharp tiger teeth easily bit the hunter's skull. Sudhiji picked up the tiger fork and stabbed it desperately. The giant tiger turned its head and grabbed the giant palm.
Come, as if it was thunderous, suddenly Ji had already suffered a heavy blow on his left shoulder. Blood gushed out. Ji was extremely brave. While being injured, he stabbed the giant tiger's neck with a tiger fork. The giant tiger jumped up and threw it to the ground. Ji Shi supported the giant tiger's jaw with his hand. The giant tiger opened its bloody mouth, and Senshen steel teeth almost touched Ji's face. The other two hunters took the opportunity to stab the giant tiger with a hunting fork. Soon after, suddenly Ji was unable to resist the pressure of the giant tiger. The giant tiger bit his head and suddenly turned his head. The giant tiger bit his right shoulder. He suddenly felt a huge pain, but he still hugged the tiger's head tightly with both hands.
When Shi Di Ji woke up suddenly, he was already lying in the camp. In order to suddenly Ji Di Ji, Hou Dayong used his dagger to cut branches and used the most advanced modern metallurgical technology to cut trees like mud. In the eyes of the tribe, several young hunters took turns to take the dagger and showed envious eyes. When they saw Hou Dayong igniting with a lighter, they couldn't even close their mouths, and they all regarded Hou Dayong as a god and a lighter as a magic weapon.
In ancient times, Hou Dayong always cherished items brought from another world. One reason is that these items are the only ones in this world. More importantly, they represent the love and love of another world. All items are longing for another world.
After being injured suddenly, Hou Dayong, who was already very prestigious, naturally became the leader of this small tribe. The tribe had not completed the hunting and did not hide enough in winter, which meant that the winter days would be very sad, so Hou Dayong took him to continue hunting.
No one knew that bigger and deeper ominousness was shrouded on the tribe. Away less than a stick of incense were found, the Liao cavalry was found. Several prestigious old men gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and decided to hide in the forest and try not to conflict with the enemy.
Hou Dayong said nothing and thought nervously. He also agreed to enter the forest. The best tactic of using the weak against the strong is to fight if you can win, and run if you can't win. Only by saving yourself can you eliminate the enemy better. "How many enemies have come, what is the purpose? Should you pass by by chance or come to deal with us?" Hou Dayong put forward his own opinion during the discussion, "We must know the purpose of the enemy to come up with a way to deal with them, so we cannot just hide in the forest to make things happen, and we must send people to figure out the situation of the enemy. Now everyone goes to the forest, I, Qu Youngu, and I also find someone who understands Khitan to go to the enemy camp with us to understand the situation of the enemy."
Finally, after discussion, everyone agreed with Hou Dayong's suggestion.
When the tribe retreated to the forest, Hou Dayong took two warriors to the Liao camp to conduct reconnaissance. Before going, Hou Dayong first put forward disciplinary requirements in accordance with the PLA's reconnaissance practice. Two aspects are: one is to obey the command of all actions. No matter what the situation is encountered, they must obey Hou Dayong's orders and are not allowed to act without authorization; the other is that no one can let the enemy be captured. If they are discovered by the enemy, they cannot fight in love. If they cannot escape after being surrounded, they would rather die than fall into the enemy's hands. Anyway, they would fall into the enemy's hands in the end.
He could not escape death and would suffer all the humiliation. Secondly, he checked the equipment. Each person was equipped with a short knife, a long knife, a long bow, twenty arrows, a horse, his clothes, especially his hands and feet, and his face was covered with black ash. Thirdly, he used "black bear" and "big tiger" as the joint command. After the preparation, Hou Dayong looked at the two strong and sensitive hunters armed by himself, and thought to himself: "If I were asked to train them for two months, I would never lose to those young men in the reconnaissance brigade."
Suddenly, he watched Hou Dayong do the preparation work quietly. He had been a general in the Bohai Sea and was not an amateur in leading troops to fight. Hou Dayong did his preparation work very meticulously. Although he didn't understand some parts very well, he thought it made sense after careful consideration.
The reconnaissance work was very smooth. The Liao army had at least 500 people. The camp was flew with flags, excellent weapons, and sufficient food. Through various phenomena, Hou Dayong came to a conclusion that this was a prepared cavalry, and it was not by chance. Back at the temporary camp in the forest, Hou Dayong told everyone about the observed situation and the conclusion he made. The tribesmen were very pessimistic, and the human depressed mood was also passed on to the animals. The energetic dogs in the past also held their heads, and even the most beautiful male dog followed the owner listlessly.
The entire population of the small tribe is only one hundred, but the Liao soldiers have 500. The difference is too big, so it is best to avoid it.
Go east, go east, the road to escape is about to begin again.
What everyone unexpectedly expected was that the Liao cavalry did not even give them the opportunity to escape. When the clan members walked to a mountain pass in the dark, a rain of arrows made the clan members retreat to the temporary camp in the forest to defend, and more than a dozen lives withered at the mountain pass.
"Encircled by the Liao army", this fact made the already panic-ridden Sumomohe people calm down, and were surrounded. They had to fight to the death, and there was still a way out.
Hou Dayong immediately asked someone to check the people and weapons that could be fought. At this time, there were 79 men and women in the entire clan who could fight, including 45 men, and the others were old, weak, sick and disabled, and children. The close-range weapons were mainly hunting forks and long swords, and the long-range weapons were mainly long bows. The total number of arrows was 1,568, and the total number of people was 32, and there were nearly 500 enemies, which meant that every three arrows would have to hit one enemy, otherwise there would be insufficient arrows.
The camp was built on a high ground in the forest, which was about three to four meters higher than the ground on average. There was a deep ditch on the east, about six to seven meters. There were dense forests on the north and west, and only the south was relatively open and suitable for cavalry combat. Hou Dayong couldn't help but secretly praised his military literacy. Although it was a temporary camp, it was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
All the enemy troops attacked were cavalry, and Hou Dayong estimated that they would choose to launch an attack from the south. The Sumo-Mihe people were originally nomads, but although they were greatly influenced by the Han people, they were not good at civil engineering. Hou Dayong asked most of the soldiers to rest after eating, arranged ten women to cut down many thick branches in the forest and make deer antlers to delay the attack of the cavalry, and arranged ten young hunters, thirteen women and all working old people to dig horse pits in the south. Qu YouNuogu selected four hunters with outstanding archery skills to sneak into the dense forest to the west. The mission was to sneak attack the enemy's leaders while the enemy attacked in the south, and play a role similar to the blocker in modern warfare. In addition, in addition to the north, the gentle slope should be dug as steep as possible to delay the enemy's attack, and the digging of the ditches should be used as a cover for archers.
Hou Dayong tried his best to build a blocking position with the existing conditions, but in such a hurry, it is still unknown how much role the position built can play. When all the fortifications are about to be completed, it will be dawn.
As Hou Dayong expected, the Liao cavalry appeared in the south, and the black-armored cavalry were lined up outside the arrow route, so they were not in a hurry to attack. This time, the Liao cavalry was fully prepared. When the spies found the camp of the Tudiji clan, the Liao royal family Yelu Shulu sent 500 of his own tribe troops to kill the Tudiji clan. Yelu Shulu's tribe army was damaged by many of Tudiji's hands. This time, he suddenly surrounded the Tudiji clan with absolute force, intending to capture them all.
One hundred enemy cavalry first launched their first charge. The rider rushed into the arrow process. Hou Dayong divided the soldiers into two groups. With a command, the first group shot thirty-seven feather arrows. The sound of "huh, huh" breaking through the air flew towards the charging enemy. The enemy kept falling off the horse. Then the second group shot thirty-seven feather arrows, and then the first group stepped forward to shoot again. The enemy's first round of charge was quickly crossed. Three waves of arrow rain caused the Liao riders to lose more than 40 cavalry, but they did not even rush to the enemy battalion.
The Liao generals also experienced a long battle formation. Seeing that the enemy was guarded tightly, they had no effect. They could only use their military advantages to step on the enemy under the horse with the force of Mount Tai. The Liao general issued an order to charge, and more than 400 riders stabbed straight towards them like a sharp sword. The feather arrows in the air were intertwined back and forth, and people on both sides were shot. Hou Dayong and others were greatly reduced under the cover of simple cover. When the Liao cavalry rushed to the deer antler area, they were blocked. Taking this opportunity, they suffered another rain of arrows, and a layer of Liao riders fell down under the deer antlers.
The Liao general was red in his eyes and dealt with a small tribe, but suffered heavy casualties. He issued a series of orders to urge the cavalry to charge. The Liao cavalry had a large number of people, and finally rushed over the deer antlers. The rider who was rushing quickly was approaching the hillside.
The rider who rushed to the front suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell into the dug trap. The rider behind could not stop it, and many others rushed into the trap, screaming in front of the formation. At this chaotic time, Hou Dayong commanded Sumo and Martyr archers to kill a large number of Liao soldiers in front of the formation like shooting a fixed target. Four or five Liao army riders rushed up the hillside frantically, and were soon cut into pieces by the fierce tribe members. The Liao army was defeated again.
The Liao army was mainly cavalry, and on the grassland, there were few cavalry battles in the situation, so the troops were sent out without any preparations for positional battles. The Liao army suffered great losses in two charges, and more than half of the casualties were lost. The enemy had fortifications to cover them, and the casualties were relatively light. After the Liao army withdrew from the archway, they were exhausted and lost their tax energy.
The Liao general was about to organize his third charge. Suddenly, two cavalry protruded from the dense forest on the west side and rushed towards the team with lightning speed. Two arrows rushed straight to the Liao general. The Liao general avoided one arrow, and the other arrow shot straight into his throat. The Liao general raised his hands upwards. The rotating sky was his last impression of the world. After the two cavalry and one arrow succeeded, they immediately fled northward. More than ten Liao troops rode their horses to catch up. At this time, three cavalry rushed out of the dense forest, each firing an arrow. The three enemies fell down, and the three cavalry quickly fled again, and the Liao army had nowhere to be pursued.
After this trouble, the general was destroyed again, and the Liao army's momentum was greatly reduced. Seeing that the time had come, Hou Dayong ordered the Sumo-Mi-man who could no longer hold back, holding a long sword in his hand and starting to charge. At this time, the trap had been filled with the corpse of the Liao army. Hou Dayong led this team of new forces to bite the enemy from high to downwards and lose his fighting spirit.
