Chapter 26 The Strong
While Ni Yi killed the rebels, the other Xianbei spies were surrounded. They were said to be spies, but in fact they were just ordinary shepherds with relatively flexible skills in nearby tribes. In Ni Yi's eyes were several young men dressed in thatch and dressed in rags, including a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Ni Yi carried the big axe that was still dripping blood and urged the horse to come to them. His fierce look was so horrible that they retreated together. Then the Jin soldiers behind him rushed forward without hesitation and forced them all back to their original place.
Ni Yi waved his hand, and a Wuhuan cavalry who was in the army flashed behind him.
The experience of struggling and survival for thousands of miles has taught Ni Yi a lot. Since he joined the war in Dai County, he has spent a lot of effort to learn Hu language, and he has been able to talk briefly with the Wuhuan people in the past few days. Unfortunately, the origin of Xianbei language is complicated. Although it comes from the Donghu language system with Wuhuan language, it is very different in detail. Moreover, they have no written words for their own tribe to understand. Therefore, Ni Yi's learning progress is extremely slow, and the Hu tribe's subordinates still need to come forward at this time.
"We are not enemies, but friends of Yilu Da Shanyu, come to help him eliminate the rebellion. Take us to the tribe, and we want to recruit your troops. But if we refuse our request..." The Wuhuan cavalry coughed lightly and pointed to the tragic corpse that was still twitching not far away: "Just like him."
Several Xianbei people obviously understood. They ignored the Wuhuan people, but looked up at the fierce Jin people who easily killed their companions. Ni Yi looked down at them from a high point, his eyes full of jubilant murderous intent.
They read that right.
Ni Yi placed the long-handled axe horizontally in front of the saddle and looked at the people calmly. He tried his best to imitate Lu Yao's cold manners, but he felt an uncontrollable sense of excitement in his heart. For so many years, he was like a humble wild dog, and suffered insults from others. Although he tried his best to hone his martial arts and courage, he never received attention. He ate grass bran and wooden sticks every day, and was driven to use his life to fight for those noble princes and officials. He either killed people or was killed by others, and lived a confused life. But now, as the leader of the cavalry team under General Yingyang, he is different from the pitiful beggar soldiers.
Ni Yi narrowed his eyes and savored the feeling of waving the axe to cut off the **. The feeling of life and death to one's own hands is wonderful, wonderful, and the joy of killing is even more unforgettable!
Half an hour later, Ni Yi and his subordinates appeared in a small tribe twenty miles east. This tribe was led by an old tribe leader. The leader once participated in the Shiyi held in Juyong County, Shanggu County. He could speak the words of the Jin people. In this small tribe, he was already a person with profound knowledge.
At this moment, this man was serving diligently and serving meals for Ni Yi and others. His sons and nephews, several Xianbei young men were busy running, and soon lit a bonfire.
This highland is surrounded by a half-moon river, protected by the valleys on both sides. The water and grass are fertile around the highland, and cattle and sheep are spread out in a starry manner. Such a treasure land should be the fixed residence of this tribe every summer. In addition to felt tents, the Xianbei tribes also built poor wooden houses to live in. Whether it is felt tents or wooden houses, they are piled with unscathed fur and various dried beast meat, which smells stench and smells so bad that the middle-aged people vomit.
Naturally, Ni Yi and others would not enter the house. They stopped on the river beach that was a single arrow from the Hu people's camp, set up a bonfire to cook meat, dry food, and fish caught in the river pond. In the various strange-shaped pottery provided by the Xianbei people, the rolling pieces of meat quickly drifted out a strong aroma.
The nomadic tribes are not as wealthy as those in the Central Plains imagined. Their livelihood depends on the weather, and a snow disaster or plague is enough to destroy a prosperous tribe. Even if they work all year round, there are very few surplus supplies. In addition to the several chiefs who have mastered the trading channels with the Central Plains, the poverty of the tribe is very terrifying. In order to provide this meal of meat to Ni Yi and others, half of the new lambs this year were used up in this small tribe. So much so that the children in the tribe were tempted by the fragrance, overcame the fear of strange troops, and stayed timidly near the river beach to watch.
Ni Yi divided all the soldiers into two teams, taking turns to eat and eat. When all the soldiers were full and drunk, he attracted the tribe leader and ordered without hesitation: "Thank you for your generosity, we are all full. Now, all the adult men in your tribe bring weapons, dry food and horses, and go to the next tribe with us!"
"All adult men?" The head man repeated Ni Yi's words in a low voice, bent down deeply at the short Ni Yi, and raised his hands as dry as an old tree to show respect: "Please forgive my ignorance and ignorance. What does the powerful imperial army need all the adult men of our tribe to do?"
Ni Yi sneered and stuffed the dagger used to pick meat into his boots: "What do you want? Of course it's a war. The Tuoba Xianbei Great Chanyu Yilu, who was born in the Dahanshan Sacrifice Ceremony, is being shamelessly betrayed. As the allies of the Great Chanyu, we must use all our strength to fight against the betrayers."
After saying that, Ni Yi ignored the Xianbei people. He turned around and ordered his subordinates to rectify their luggage, check their weapons, armor and horses, and prepare to continue moving forward. There were a total of 1,000 troops directly under Lu Yao, led by five team leaders. These thousand were all brave and combat experience commanded by soldiers, equipped with excellent weapons, and received strict training. Just the two hundred people present at this moment were already a powerful force.
In comparison, this tribe is only a sub-department of the eastern Tuoba Xianbei, and there are less than 100 adult men from all over the tribe. Not to mention that they have no power to fight back under the threat of the 200 elite soldiers led by Ni Yi. Judging from the intensity of the internal infringement of the Tuoba Xianbei in recent years, if it were not for the fact that many chiefs and generals in the eastern part had died on Danhan Mountain, this tribe would have been annexed by a powerful neighbor for at least one or two years. However, this does not mean that they would believe what the Jin people said, they were here to help the Yilu Da Shanyu to eliminate the rebellion; it does not mean that they would be willing to fight side by side with the Jin people for this absurd reason.
The head man hesitated for a while, and said something that Ni Yi gradually lowered his face: "Dear General, we are just a small tribe and never dares to offend any party. If you need cows, sheep, food, we are willing to give all of it to satisfy you. But... but..." The head man spoke in a difficult voice. He rubbed his hands, and there was a big drop of sweat flowing down his forehead.
"But what?"
"But we don't want to stand with the Jin people, and we don't want to kill each other with the same clan!" The leader plucked up the courage.
"Oh..." Ni Yi responded with a long voice.
This old man is very experienced, no wonder he can continue to attack with such a tiny tribe. When he refused to respond to the recruitment, the middle-aged men in the tribe had gathered together at some point. Ni Yi had already discovered the crude weapons hidden beside them.
But Ni Yi had already made preparations for both.
He suddenly looked up and his eyes suddenly appeared: "Since you don't want to, go to die."
Before he finished speaking, a huge and wide axe blade swept across. The head of the tribe's head was scattered and halberds were flying up and rolling.
This cruel act had no sign at all, and immediately shocked the gathered Xianbei people. The soldiers of the Jin army shouted in unison and drew their swords and boarded the horse!
Another half an hour passed.
Ni Yi tied the reins and carried the horses. Behind him, nearly 200 Jin soldiers and dozens of Xianbei shepherds stopped together along the path.
Ni Yi asked in a deep voice: "Are you going to the next tribe bypassing this forest?"
A young Xianbei who had prepared food for Ni Yi and others not long ago bent down with an extremely flattering smile and replied in poor Chinese language: "Yes, the camp of the General. The Hegu tribe is right behind the forest. As long as you walk five hundred steps forward, you can see their post."
"Okay!" Ni Yi nodded with satisfaction: "If you send someone to speak with you, you will say that the alliance army of the Great Shanyu of Yilu came, and ask them if they would like to fight with us. If they don't want to, you will take people forward and kill them all!"
Ni Yi's subordinates totaled 200, and everyone's life was very important in his heart. That's because he knew very well that the troops responsible for sweeping the grasslands on the dam would not be the only one of his teams. If you want to make achievements among many colleagues who are determined to make achievements, you must achieve the greatest results with the minimum consumption.
"Yes! Yes! Please rest assured General! I'll ask them in person!" After hearing Lu Yao's instructions, the young Xianbei nodded repeatedly without hesitation, like a loyal shepherd dog. He turned around and summoned several big men to discuss for a while, then waved his hand to signal. Dozens of Xianbei people immediately held wooden sticks, bone knives and other weapons tightly, and tiptoed into the forests on both sides. He himself rode his horse forward and shouted loudly.
