Chapter 0883 dismount(1/2)

 "Help!"

In the yellow sand that filled the sky, several riders rushed out first, and the one at the front was actually a woman holding a child in her arms.

When she saw the scout swimming by the quicksand, her eyes suddenly lit up, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.

She held the child in one hand and raised her other hand to wave to the south, while shouting something loudly.

She could actually sit on a galloping horse with only two legs, showing her extremely superb riding skills.

A few scouts set up their bows and crossbows from a distance, watching this side warily.

Not far behind them is the army sent by the governor's office, so there is no need to be afraid.

After seeing the scout's movements clearly, the woman woke up and shouted for help in pure Chinese: "Help, help..."

The scouts who thought she was Hu Nu suddenly looked at each other hesitantly.

Although the crossbow in his hand was still not put down, someone was already setting up a pergola, as if he wanted to take a closer look.

When the woman saw the changes in the Han army scouts, she was overjoyed and shouted for help even more vigorously.

At this time, there was a sound piercing the air, a bone arrow passed by, and at the same time, a man roared from behind, signaling her to leave quickly.

The first batch of barbarians who broke out of the quicksand were only a few dozen riders, but they were divided into two waves.

The more than twenty riders in front, led by a man, protected the woman and the child in her arms, fighting and retreating.

The number of enemies behind them was greater than theirs. In addition to chasing from behind, they were also constantly trying to outflank them from both sides.

Although the arrows of the Han army were shining coldly, the woman still gritted her teeth and hugged her child tightly, leaned on the horse, and continued to rush forward.

It is better to die at the hands of the Han army than to be captured by the pursuers from behind.

Calling for help in Chinese saved her and her child's lives.

In the end, the scout did not shoot an arrow at her, or perhaps he saw that she was a woman and still holding a child, so she did not pose much of a threat, so he allowed her to rush to a safe location.

But the people behind were not so lucky.

Some people want to learn from others.

But the sudden burst of arrows let them know what a strong bow and a hard crossbow meant.

The first Hu cavalryman to rush through the cordon was killed.

The scouts who had clearly seen the situation had already dispersed with a roar, and at the same time there were still people running back, who were going to report the news to the army.

Hu Qi, who wanted to outflank him from the flank, saw three or five Han scouts from the other side actually dare to come over.

They seemed to be jealous of the killing. They immediately reined in their horses and stood still, then raised their bows to shoot at the scout.

Scouts are the elite of the army, how could they not be able to discern the other party's intentions?

"Kill without mercy!"

The scout was on the horseback galloping, and there was no time to waste. The arrows came first!

Although he did not hit the target, in this case, Hu Qi was still eclipsed: "Condor Shooter!"

And he’s not just a Condor Shooter, he’s all of them!

The intimidating effect of the vulture shooters on the grassland people is really deep in the bones.

Hu Qi had no time to think about how a few of the rare eagle shooters on the grassland suddenly appeared in front of him.

At this moment, a whistle was heard from behind.

Hu Qi recognized that this was the unique whistle of his tribe, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran back without looking back. It was just a face-to-face confrontation, and there were several more corpses on the ground.

The three warring parties turned into two parties, and the scouts still did not put down their weapons. They kept jogging around the remaining ten people, ready to speed up at any time.

It was obvious that although the pursuers had fled, the Han scouts still regarded the remaining soldiers as imaginary enemies.

"Dismount and abandon your weapons!"

Someone among the Han army scouts shouted loudly.

Although there are fewer people than the opponent, the Han army scouts are full of confidence.

Maybe it was because they were far away, or maybe they couldn't understand, but the knights still looked at the scouts who were pointing their weapons at them, seemingly at a loss.

After shouting two or three times, seeing that the other party was disobedient, the scout was about to take action.

The woman who was the first to rush out of the quicksand saw the emergency and shouted loudly to those people in nonsense. At the same time, she dismounted first with her child in her arms.

After hearing the woman's shouting, the dozen or so horsemen were still hesitant.

In this case, if you just dismount and abandon your weapons, it means that you will be slaughtered by others.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of obeying, the scout had already started to raise his crossbow and take aim.

Seeing that the atmosphere that had just calmed down suddenly suddenly became tense again, the woman was so anxious that she turned to the scout and shouted:

"Are you Han soldiers? We are here to take refuge with Feng Langjun!"

Han Jiayin, Feng Langjun.

The woman's words saved these rogues.

Someone from the scout finally rode up to her and asked condescendingly:

"Who are you?"

"We came from Juyanze, and we are going to join Feng Langjun."

The woman held the child in her arms and answered quickly, not daring to show any signs of neglect.

The scout stretched out his bow and parted the woman's messy long hair: "Han girl? Hu girl?"

"I am Han Chinese."

The scout nodded and looked at Hu Qi not far away, "Then why are you with the Hu people?"

The woman lowered her head and murmured: "My eldest father was moved to Juyanze for farming by the imperial court. Later, the imperial army withdrew."

"We have no way to return to our ancestral home, so we can only stay in Juyanze and become survivors..."

The frontier land has become a barren land. What can the Han survivors do?

Now that I can speak fluent Chinese, I already have a heart for the Han family.

"But my child is the son of the Han family. Really, I gave him a Han family name..."

The woman raised her head, her face full of begging, "Please! Let us go and let my child live."

"Where to go? This is already the territory of the Governor's Mansion in Liangzhou, Han Dynasty. Everything must be subject to the arrangements of the Governor's Mansion."

"Feng Junhou has known for a long time that someone is going south from Ruoshui, so he sent us to guard here early."

The scout pointed at the rogue cavalry from afar, "Why don't they dismount?"

When she heard that the scout officially admitted that he was under Feng Langjun's command, the woman cried with joy and quickly shouted to those people.

Feng Langjun's reputation is very useful.

After hearing this, Hu Qi finally began to dismount hesitantly.

"You two, continue to guard here. The rest, follow me and take them back to the army."

Some of these scouts were Hu and Han, but the leader was a Han.

He gave some instructions, and then led these people who were going south to the camp in the rear.

With the news brought by these people, Ju Yanze's situation soon became clear.

Last winter, the northern desert was much more serious than the white disaster in Liangzhou.

As soon as spring began, many tribes from the desert began to move south to Juyanze.

Juyanze has abundant water and grass and fertile land, so the Han Hu who originally lived here can still live a comfortable life.

Nowadays, the influx of large numbers of Xianbei people from Hexi Province has caused friction from the beginning.

Later, it was directly plunder between tribes.

What can't people do in order to survive?

Not to mention the barbarians who have plunder engraved in their bones.

Juyanze eventually became a slaughterhouse.

Slaughter cattle and sheep, and also slaughter living people.

This woman was married to the leader of a small tribe and had no chance of surviving the chaos in Juyanze.

So we can only go south along the weak water.

Even so, the Hu people who followed from the desert were still unwilling to let them go.

After learning about Ju Yanze's situation, Liu Hun and Tufa Tian looked at each other.

What is the true situation of the so-called abnormal movements of the Hu people in Juyanze?

"They will definitely have to go south. The little things we have in Yanze cannot support them for a year."
