Chapter 4 cherish each other
According to Hou Dayong's pre-war arrangement, the riders rushed down from the camp. After entering the range of arrows, each rider would shoot an arrow and shoot to attack the enemy's team. According to the horse's speed, after shooting an arrow, the horse team would rush into the enemy's position and fight against the enemy's close forces. If the second arrow is shot at this time, it would be easy to be injured by the enemy. Therefore, Hou Dayong ordered each person to shoot only one arrow, and charge after shooting. The entire team attacked with the same tactical action, which could amplify the combat effect.
Just as Hou Dayong arranged before the battle, after more than thirty arrows were shot, Hou Dayong roared and issued an order to raise a knife. Hou Dayong held a long sword and charged forward. Although he had been practicing the technique of using swords immediately for a while, he had never had any actual combat. After all, he did not know how effective the actual combat was. When the team rushed into the enemy's army, the Liao army riders were constantly chopped off the horses. When Hou Dayong broke into the enemy's formation, his first opponent was a very young Liao army. Hou Dayong avoided the blade of the Liao army and held the long sword high and slashed the Liao army at a forty-five degrees angle. This angle is the least easy to defend and avoid. When fighting with the Japanese army at Xifengkou, the Chinese sword team specially trained this sword technique and killed a large number of Japanese troops. Hou Dayong used this simple and rapid knife to accurately cut the neck of the young Liao army, and blood gushed out.
After a brief panic, the Liao army stabilized its formation and, with a large number of people, attempted to surround the Sumo-Muhe people in the battle formation. The Sumo-Muhe people did not give the Liao army a chance, and the team always gathered together. After the strike was successful, the entire horse team passed through the middle of the Liao army.
The two sides confronted for a brief time, and no one fell to the horse, but several were injured. The Sumo Mai people were extremely brave, and the injured soldiers wiped blood on their faces. When the team rushed out of the enemy's formation, the Sumo Mai people ran forward according to the order, and set a distance from the Liao cavalry that followed, Hou Dayong shouted fiercely: "Shot the arrow". All the Sumo Mai people turned around and shot arrows. The enemy chasing in front were successively caught and fell down. Seeing the enemy's bows and arrows, the Liao army was forced to slow down their pursuit. After the Sumo Mai people shook the enemy, they turned their horses and reorganized the team, and rushed into the Liao army with their swords.
The Liao army suffered continuous casualties and the morale of the army became even more shaken. When the Sumo-Mu people rushed over with their swords again, the Liao army finally lost their fighting spirit and fled everywhere.
When the battle ended, Hou Dayong found that his legs were covered in blood and he was chopped at some point. When the battle was in full swing, he did not feel the pain, and it was unbearable that he would feel the pain after relaxing.
The Sumo-Muhe people were victorious in this battle, which was actually the biggest victory in fighting against the Liao people in recent years. Not only did the few win more, but the casualties were also disproportionate. The Sumo-Muhe people were injured by 28 people, only two of them were killed, while the Liao army was killed by nearly 200 people. The Liao army camp abandoned a large amount of extremely precious food and clothing, which was enough for the tribe's tribe to spend the winter.
Hou Dayong looked at the battlefield with broken arms and broken bodies everywhere. The cruel scenes made people unable to express the joy of victory. Hou Dayong heard a scream, and a Sumo-Mi-Shi soldier raised his sword to cut off the head of a wounded soldier in the Liao Kingdom.
Hou Dayong is a modern soldier. He has been educated for many years. He cannot tolerate the open killing of prisoners, so he plucked out his long sword and rode his horse back and forth on the battlefield. "Everyone is well listened to, don't kill people, and I will deal with the prisoners." The Sumo-Mihe people were a little reluctant, but Hou Dayong had become a god of war in their eyes, so he stopped.
Hou Dayong knew that the grassland people were cruel to the enemy. This was the war rules of this era and he could not destroy them. However, he could not ignore the fact that killing soldiers happened in front of him. When the prisoners gathered together, Hou Dayong thought of a plan and suddenly said to the injured: "Killing these Liao soldiers is a simple task, but it does not benefit us at all. We can let two people go back and let the Liao people pay the ransom."
This custom was also found in the grassland, so everyone agreed.
Hou Dayong asked two more injured soldiers to be selected from dozens of wounded soldiers and sent them back, and asked the Liao people to pay two sheep as ransoms for each captured person. Otherwise, they would definitely be killed. When the Liao soldiers heard that they would pay the ransom, they knew that they would not be killed, they knelt down in front of Hou Dayong with gratitude.
In order to prevent the Liao army from revenge, most of the Sumo-Muhe people went north along Baitou Mountain to enter the mountainous area. Hou Dayong, Qu Youngu and another hero who participated in the reconnaissance stayed and waited for the Liao people to send ransom. The Liao people who came to fight this time were tribal troops, and the tribal troops were private armed forces of the tribal people. The Liao people were extremely cruel to the Sumo-Muhe people. They thought that the Liao soldiers who fell into the hands of the Sumo-Muhe people would not survive, but were surprised to receive the ransom request, so they immediately asked people to prepare the ransom to send to the Sumo-Muhe people. According to his request, only five people were allowed to escort the sheep.
When the Liao people brought the flock to the designated location, a Liao people said in Sumo and Moe, "Our master brought gifts to the heroes of Tudiji."
Hou Dayong took the gift, but it was a long sword, which looked very similar to an Arab scimitar, but it was improved, making it more suitable for the Liao people's habit of using swords.
The Liao people respectfully said to Hou Dayong: "The heroes of Tudiji defeated the more with fewer ones. Although you are the enemies of the Liao Kingdom, our tribe respects the hero the most. The master gave Tudiji a treasure sword, which was a craftsman who asked the skilled craftsman to attack. It was extremely sharp. In addition, the master also decided not to attack your troops this winter."
Hou Dayong asked quietly: "Who is your master?"
The Liao people bowed and said, "The master is the general Yelu Shulu."
"It turned out to be the later Emperor Muzong of Liao." Hou Dayong was quite familiar with the history of the northern nations. He knew this person. During his reign, Yelu Shulu ignored state affairs, drank softly every night and slept during the day, and was called the King of Sleeping. During his reign, he was in turmoil and was defeated by the Zhou army many times. "You go back and tell the general Yelu Shulu not to fight, otherwise you will be told that you will never come back." Hou Dayong said to the visitor.
Afterwards, both sides successfully completed the transaction. The Liao people and Sumo Muhe people were all happy.
Although this battle ended with a great victory for Sumo Mohe people, the Liao people were extremely powerful and could not be resisted by their tribe. The sudden injury was getting better and where to go became a major issue before the tribe. Hou Dayong knew that in Chinese history, the descendants of Sumo Mohe would write a lot of strokes. From a historical perspective, going north to the Great Xing'an Mountains was the best destination for this tribe. Hou Dayong's suggestion to enter Xing'an Mountains north was unanimously recognized.
When the entire tribe was about to move north, Hou Dayong fell into a fierce contradiction. As a modern person, Hou Dayong did not have the distinction between Han people, Jurchens, Khitans and other ethnic groups. He knew that as time passed, all ethnic groups would form a nation, that is, the Chinese nation, Hu and Han would eventually merge with each other. But the real problem was that the Jurchens would not unify the tribes by Wanyan Aguda until 1115, and then began to become stronger. This was more than a hundred years away. By the time Wanyan Aguda unified the tribes, he had already become a pile of loess. Since he came to ancient times, he would have been unwilling to live without going to the Central Plains, and after all, he was unwilling to accept it. Now it was a chaotic time. After arriving in the Central Plains, his military qualities might be more useful.
When Hou Dayong proposed to go south, the tribesmen and others tried their best to keep him. Since Hou Dayong came to the tribe, he has been loved by everyone in the tribe. After fighting with the Liao people, the tribe members regarded him as a hero of the tribe. However, Hou Dayong was not a member of his own tribe after all, so it was natural to leave.
That night, all the members of the tribe gathered together to celebrate and see off their heroes. At this time, Sumomi is able to make rice wine, and the degree is not high, but after Hou Dayong drank more than ten bowls, he was drunk and didn't know how to return to the tent. Hou Dayong returned to another world in his sleep, and his wife was still so beautiful. Hou Dayong hugged his wife's smooth and delicate body, and was as warm as he could. Under his careful caress, his wife's moans were fascinating. Hou Dayong reached the peak of happiness in excitement.
When Hou Dayong woke up, his headache was split, but he was shocked. He was naked, and a young girl who was also naked was hugging him tightly. The girl stared at Hou Dayong with clear eyes. It was the girl who gave mutton. Hou Dayong came to the Tudiji tribe. The most important thing every day was to be familiar with the world, practice various survival skills, and undertake heavy labor such as hunting. He had no energy or mood to consider men and women. In addition, Hou Dayong had a deep relationship with his wife and daughter in another world, so he pretended not to know about Azhige's show of kindness. The girl in the Sumo-Muhe tribe was different from the girl in the Central Plains after the Song Dynasty. She showed her love boldly and did not have so many men and women. On the contrary, increasing the population was a happy event for the tribe. The girl knew that Hou Dayong was about to leave, and when she saw Hou Dayong was drunk, she helped Hou Dayong and came to the tent to wait for him to sleep.
When Ajige woke up, he was very happy. He kissed Hou Dayong on the forehead, and then stood up without a trace of his hair to get the prepared horse milk for Hou Dayong. Long-term hunting work has made Ajige's body well-proportioned and healthy, exuding youthful vitality. Hou Dayong is in his prime and is not an old-fashioned person. Seeing Ajige's daring to love and do, he couldn't help but feel inexplicably good, and the heat flows all over his body.
When Hou Dayong was drinking horse milk, Ajige sat down next to Hou Dayong and leaned his head on Hou Dayong's shoulder. The unique fragrance of the girl, the slight stimulation of the sharp hair, deeply aroused Hou Dayong's long closed look. Hou Dayong carried Ajige over and placed it on his thighs, making Ajige lean. Ajige looked a little shy, his face was slightly red, his long eyelashes flashed, and his nose was straight. Hou Dayong thought to himself: "Ajige is still very beautiful, and has a unique flavor compared to modern people."
Hou Dayong kissed Ajige deeply and stroked Ajige's extremely elastic and smooth skin. Ajige hugged Hou Dayong with all his might and responded enthusiastically, and the tent was boundless for a moment.
…………
Hou Dayong formulated a safer and convenient route, heading south along the Liaohe River, crossing Shanhaiguan, and then down the Bohai Bay, entering the Zhou territory near Cangzhou. Hou Dayong combined history and the current situation in the Central Plains, and knew that Guo Wei had proclaimed himself emperor to establish the Great Zhou, but there was also the Northern Han regime in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and the Liao Kingdom occupied the north, and the Western Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty in the south. Guo Wei's life was not easy and he was facing a dangerous situation of being surrounded by enemies.
Hou Dayong decided to go to Chai Rong, and he knew that Chai Rong was the future Zhou Shizong and a strong man in the Central Plains.
Chai Rong was one of the most accomplished monarchs in our history. Ouyang Xiu once commented on Zhou Shizong: "In the past five or six years, Shizong took Qinlong, pacified Huaiyou, and regained the three passes. The mighty voice shocked the barbarians and Xia. The scholars of Confucianism in the field: examine the system, cultivate rituals, establish the correct music, and discuss the punishment. The methods of making can be applied to later generations." Unfortunately, Chai Rong "died before he fulfilled his ambitions, and often made heroes cry." Hou Dayong admired Chai Rong very much, hoping to gain a place in Chai Rong's army with his understanding of war and history. Hou Dayong did not know that his decision had a profound impact on history. In the later historical masterpiece "New History of Han", he had a very wonderful discussion on this.
"To the north, to the Greater Xing'an Mountains, you can make your home there, and the mountains, forests and black soil will bless all the people of the tribe."
"The Liao people will be prosperous and decline, but now the troops are in full swing, so you must not fight head-on. Keep the green mountains there, and you are not afraid of burning firewood."
"One wooden stick is easy to break, and ten wooden sticks can stop the evil wolf."
When they broke up, Hou Dayong wanted to tell Tu Diji about all the historical dramas performed on the hot land of the Northeast, but no one would believe these facts. Hou Dayong left advice to Tu Diji, which was to fulfill the wishes of a friend. One day ten years later, when Tu Diji accepted Hou Dayong's appointment, he suddenly recalled many advices left to him by Hou Dayong many years ago, and truly realized the true connotation of these advices.
Chu Diji insisted on not accepting the long sword sent by the Liao people, because the Liao people gave the sword to the hero who defeated them, and this hero was Hou Dayong rather than Shu Diji. After several refusals, Hou Dayong accepted the long sword until Shu Diji turned red. At the same time, Chu Diji also gave the most beloved war horse to Hou Dayong. The name of the war horse means "wind", which means running as fast as the wind. In many battles with the Liao soldiers, "wind" threw the enemy rider far away. "Feng" has thick black hair all over his body, about 1.6 meters high, a large head and wide forehead, deep chest, solid and powerful limbs, developed joints and tendons, not afraid of cold, and has strong vitality. He can survive under difficult and harsh conditions. He is a very excellent war horse. The most commendable thing is that "Feng" is not shocked or deceitful on the battlefield and is extremely brave.
When Hou Dayong was reluctant to leave the people of the tribe, he traveled south. When he passed through a forest, Hou Dayong had already walked out of everyone's sight.
Azig was waiting by the road on his horse for a long time.
"Ajig, I'm leaving."
"I know, you are the eagle on the grassland, and the sky is your home."
Hou Dayong took out a credit card and gave it to Ajige, saying, "This is my beloved thing, with my name on it."
Ajige took the credit card. This thing I had never seen was extremely exquisite. There were some incomprehensible words on it. The patterns changed with different light and angles. Ajige thought that this must be a treasure passed down by Hou Dayong, and it also vaguely carried Hou Dayong's breath. Ajige sighed in his heart and handed Hou Dayong a small bag of items, "This is the wild ginseng I picked, and it can be exchanged for grain in the Central Plains."
The two war horses sprayed hot air intimately, sniffed and rubbed each other.
When Hou Dayong's lonely figure disappeared from afar, a tear fell on the credit card and fell into many pieces, just like Ajige's heart.
Chapter completed!
