I’m The King Chapter 224: :Killing in the snow

;The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and when it falls on the horse, if you don't wipe it off for a while, it will accumulate a thin layer. The snowflakes rose and hit his face, which made He Lanyan barely open his eyes a little. Now, his whole body, only his eyes are still exposed, and the horse and himself have turned white. And he Behind him, hundreds of white men followed him, trekking hard in the snow.

The army is still gathering, and it is far from the right time to attack. We have to wait until spring tomorrow, but Li Zhengguiyao wants to send himself out to scout the road at this time. Isn't this a deliberate embarrassment? He is probably hoping He ran into Zhao Guo's standing army that hadn't withdrawn yet, and was killed by his opponent? In this way, he can justifiably swallow the other half of his army in the camp.

He Lanxiong knew that it was dangerous to come out now, but if he didn't come out, he would be charged with disobeying the military order again, and his head would be cut off. So he chose a remote route to advance. On this route, Without the enemy's checkpoints, naturally there will be no Zhao soldiers stationed.

Looking up at the irritating weather, the wind and snow are so heavy, and the snow is so thick. If you encounter Zhao's army under such weather, your own cavalry will not have the slightest advantage. Can't get up.

He has already advanced for two days on this route. He Lanxiong planned to return home after today. This trip for three days can be regarded as the completion of the task. I am always embarrassed to send myself out to suffer again.

"Young Master, there are a few guys in the army who are quite complaining." He Lanrui approached He Lanxiong, and said in a low voice: "They said, if you hadn't offended the guys from the Li Jue clan, you wouldn't have suffered like this Bitter, many soldiers are a little moved after hearing their words!"

He Lanxiong remained calm, "Pay more attention to these guys, hehe, I don't want to think about who took them and their families in when they were so hungry. What is used is real gold.”

"Understood, young master!" He Lanrui nodded, and was about to ride his horse to leave, when suddenly there was a sound of dogs barking in the wind and snow, and after a while, more dogs barked.

"There is a situation!" He Lanrui exclaimed.

He Lanxiong straightened up suddenly, and with a choke, he pulled out the scimitar from his waist, "Ready to fight!" He shouted sharply.

As his scimitar was unsheathed, the soldiers of the Helan tribe, who had just wrapped themselves in the cloak as best they could, were all in high spirits, and the scimitars were unsheathed one after another. In this weather, bows and arrows are not effective. The knife is better.

"He Lanrui, take a small team to investigate!" He Lanxiong ordered, looked back at the army that had dispersed into an attacking formation behind him, and nodded with satisfaction. Drawing on the structure of Gao Yuan's army, now his own These subordinates have a lot of rules when fighting. Unlike in the past, when they shouted to charge, they rushed forward in a swarm. The current attack, the Helan Department has been able to skillfully launch once, twice or even more in the battle. Multiple waves of continuous attacks.

Actually, everyone used to do the same thing in wars. Under the command of the captain and the others, the attacks one after another are like tides rising and falling, but the power is much greater than before. Once the attack is launched, the enemy will not have the slightest breath.

He Lanrui led a small team into the snowstorm, while He Lanxiong led a large group of people, advancing cautiously. The snow was so heavy that their vision was blocked, and they didn't know what was in the distance. It was so tight that it dared not be negligent. Zhao Jun and the Huns had confronted each other in Daijun for many years, but the Huns did not take much advantage, especially when the two pairs were facing each other.

"Young master, there is a small village ahead, with less than thirty households!" In the snowstorm, He Lanrui's voice came, "Do you want to attack?"

"Attack and occupy this village!" He Lanxiong gave the order without hesitation. At the same time, he was greatly relieved. The village was too remote and thought that there would be no Huns arriving, so they didn't leave. It was a good thing for me. The army had been out for almost three days, and I was hungry and tired. It was just a good time to resupply here, take a good rest, and stay for a long time. After regaining your energy, you can return to the camp and avoid the **** snowstorm by the way.

Hearing He Lanxiong's order, the cavalry shouted and galloped forward.

A moment later, the sound of a dog barking came to an end, followed by the howl of a dying person.

He Lanxiong rode his horse and walked slowly. A small village with less than thirty households did not need to do anything by himself. He put his sword in its sheath and walked slowly forward.

At the entrance of the village, several vicious dogs fell to death on a road about ten meters long. Outside the door, blood was streaming down his throat, but his lower body was still inside the door. Obviously, he heard the movement, and when he opened the door to get a better look, a horse flew towards him, and immediately the knight swung a knife and cut his throat. The half-open door was sprayed with blood.

The screams rang out incessantly in the village. After about half an hour, everything fell into silence, the screams stopped, and the sound of chickens and dogs was unbearable.

He Lanxiong got off his horse, walked to the door of the first room, and glanced at the dead old man. It was an old man about fifty years old, his eyes were wide open, full of horror and disbelief. Sideways to avoid the dead, walked into the courtyard, the courtyard was even worse, there were five or six corpses lying in a mess, male and female, old and young, all of them were killed with a knife, the whole family seemed to be dead.

Soldiers came in behind him, dragging the corpse to the corner and vacating the entire courtyard, He Lanxiong ignored the soldiers' actions and walked into the main room of the house.

It can be seen that this village is relatively rich, perhaps because it is too remote. Although it is located on the border, it has never been patronized by the Huns. After years of accumulation, every family is very prosperous.

I dragged a chair and sat at the entrance of the hall. In one corner of the hall, there was a square fire ring surrounded by bricks. The firewood inside was crackling and crackling. , across a large beam, with a lot of bacon hanging from it, on the longest hook, the water in the kettle was boiling, and steam was constantly radiating outside. Compared with the outside, the inside of the house The warmth made He Lanxiong feel very comfortable. A soldier took off the kettle from the hook on the fire ring, poured a cup of steaming hot water and handed it to He Lanxiong. He took a small sip, and a gust of hot air immediately went all the way. Down, the whole body seems to be warmed up.

There were cavalrymen rushing here one after another, bags of grain were piled up on both sides of the road outside, and the soldiers who entered the yard all carried a cloth bag, big or small, and went to In front of He Lanxiong, the cloth pocket tipped over, and tinkling copper coins and shiny gold and silver jewelry poured out from it.

More and more people came back, and these things on the ground slowly piled up higher and higher, and after the soldiers finished all this, they walked to both sides silently, standing still.

"Make a book!" He Lanxiong waved his hand, and two soldiers beside him walked out, one began to count the things on the ground, and the other took out a pen and ink from the bag on his back, and began to register.

All the captured items will be returned to the public, and they will be rewarded according to their merits after the war. Another point I learned there is to give the soldiers a slap, regardless of whether there is a war or not, it will be issued on time. This is extremely rare among the various tribes of the Huns. The entire Hun tribe is only available to the regular army under the king of the Huns. Fixed salary, under normal circumstances, the warriors of the Xiongnu tribe usually make a living by themselves, and when they fight, they rely on looting. Some of the looted things are handed over to the clan leader, and the rest are owned by themselves. The reason why I like to fight is that although I am working with my head up, as long as I come home alive, the harvest is generally quite rich.

He Lanrui hurried in from the outside, with an ugly expression on his face, walked up to He Lanxiong, and whispered something in a low voice. He Lanxiong's expression changed, "Where are they?"

Just as He Lanrui was about to speak, five more soldiers walked in from outside the house. They were already the last batch. The courtyard was crowded with all the soldiers except the sentinel. Nearly 400 people looked at Look at the last five people who came in.

"What did you just do?" He Lanxiong looked at them with a smile. These people were exactly the ones that He Lanrui had told him about before venting their dissatisfaction in the team.

Looking at He Lanxiong's smiling face, the five soldiers couldn't help shivering and opened their mouths, but Qi Qi Ai Ai couldn't speak.

"Tie it up!" The smile on He Lanxiong's face disappeared abruptly.

As soon as the words fell, He Lanrui rushed up with a dozen people, and the two served one, fell to the ground, and tied them up three or five times.

"Young Master, please spare me!" The five of them turned pale with shock.

"Excuse me?" He Lanxiong sneered, "What did you just do? We killed all the men here because we were worried that they would pick up knives to plot against us. We robbed all the food here because we needed supplies. We robbed valuable things here because we need a lot of money to make the tribe develop better and our brothers and sisters live better, but when did we allow ""women? You still don't know about our military discipline. Remember everything?" "Women, what should I do?"

The faces of the five of them were ashen.

"Cut it off!" He Lanxiong gave them an order without looking at them.

Not waiting for the five people to react, He Lanxiong's personal soldiers behind him swung the scimitar, and with a click, they cut off the heads of the five people cleanly, blood sprayed all over the ground, and the heads of the five people fell to the ground Come on, I still can't believe it, He Lanxiong just killed them like this.

The clothes of the five corpses on the ground were scattered, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry and copper coins fell out of them. He Lanxiong smiled, "I dare to hide the loot, but unfortunately I can't kill it a second time."
