Chapter 89: Dignity
The night was dark and the sky was full of stars.

The endless mountains rose blackly on the horizon.

"Chief Commander," a Xirong scout galloped up to Commander Dan Muji and reined in his mount. "The Langya Pass is just ahead, but there are people guarding it! It's..."

Dan Muji frowned and said: "You said there are guards?"

"Under the Thousand Commander's Spike Pass, there are probably dozens of people holding a shield made of a pick and pitchfork. The leader is a woman..." The scouts all knew Dan Muji's habit, and they were afraid that the Commander would interrupt him again, so they spoke quickly. Even the ventilation is saved.

"Stop!" Dan Muji raised his hand, "Holding a hoe and pitchfork...is that a villager from Xiaogang Village?"

He was a little surprised.They Xirong went to Xiaogang Village to plunder when they had nothing to do. It has been many years and they have never encountered resistance.Could it be that they dared to fight head-on after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts?

Next to him, Xiu Muye stood up on the saddle, looked at the scattered fires under the Wolf Fang Pass, sat down again and said, "Chief Commander, the villagers in Xiaogang Village probably don't have such courage. man……"

The shadow that man left on him was too great, and he always felt that everything could be related to that man.

"There's no need to guess here and there," Dan Muji waved to the surrounding Xirong cavalry, "It's just a few dozen people in formation, using their proverb...what is it called tree cutting?"

"It's 'The Mayfly Shakes the Tree', Commander." Xiu Muye hurriedly reminded.

He went to Dayan territory to plunder when he had nothing to do, and knew a thing or two about Dayan's culture.

"Yes, the gecko cut down the tree!" Dan Muji drew out his saber and held it in the air, "Even if its claws are bald, it can't cut down our... big tree in Xirong!"

After speaking, he wanted to wave his sword.

"Chief Commander, Lord Commander, don't worry!" Xiu Muye stretched out his hands and hugged Dan Muji's arm, "I think this is a trick of the enemy, and I have a countermeasure."

Dan Muji flicked his arm impatiently, and shook Xiu Muye away: "Speak quickly if you have something to say. After dealing with the enemy for a long time, you will become like a mother-in-law like them."

Xiu Muye blushed, knowing that Dan Muji was mocking him, so he could only bite the bullet and say:
"Commander, these villagers are probably bait, we don't want to fall into their trap. Let the warriors shoot two rounds of arrows within the range of the bow and arrow, and shoot all these villagers to death, hehe..."

"You coward!"

Dan Muji took the back of the knife and slapped Xiu Muye's shoulder, cursing:

"We hid in the distance and shot arrows. Let others say that my Danmuji scares dozens of villagers to death. Where is my dignity as a pioneer? Warriors' bows and arrows are used to deal with Dayan's army."

As the vanguard of the ten thousand people team, if even dozens of villagers have to be so cautious and cautious, what kind of vanguard is he?What's more, the scouts have confirmed that no troops have been dispatched to the Dayan border, so there is nothing to worry about.

"But Commander, there must be fraud here!" Xiu Muye held his shoulder and wanted to be stubborn.

"Fuck off!
Dan Muji ignored Xiu Muye, rode his horse forward, and shouted: "Even if there are ambushes, they are still ordinary villagers. Under our Xirong's iron hooves, they will be turned into flesh."

At this time, a thousand Xirong cavalry had been lined up, and the horses were lined up, divided into two rows, front and back.This is the two-line offensive tactic most commonly used by Western cavalry.

"Master Centurion, the formation has been completed, please give your order." A centurion shouted from afar.

Dan Muji waved his saber at Langya Pass, "Squad of Thousands, kill all the enemies at Langya Pass, move forward!"

A thousand Xirong soldiers drew out their swords in unison, and under the light of the fire, with a cold light shining, they rode their horses and began to advance.

Dozens of villagers under the pass watched the two bright lines of fire slowly approaching under the dark sky. All the men's legs were shaking, except Yang Cong who was at the front.

"Yang... onions, what if they shoot arrows?" A male villager held a pitchfork in both hands, and said to Yang Cong who was standing in the forefront with a trembling voice.

"Yeah, if they shoot arrows, we won't have time to run," said another male villager, who peed his pants in fright. His crotch was wet and cold, and he kept his hoe from standing up. "I'm still young, and I don't want to die." what."

Yang Cong turned his head and smiled: "Don't worry, everyone, Mr. Pei said that the other party definitely doesn't know how to shoot arrows."

"Surely you can't shoot arrows?" A male villager called out, "Master Pei is not a worm in the belly of Xirong people, how could he know?"

Yang Cong shook his head, and looked forward firmly: "I believe Mr. Pei, everyone stands firm."

She has an inexplicable admiration and trust for Xiao Zhuo.Xiao Zhuo told her that Xirong Pioneer would not use bows and arrows to deal with ordinary villagers like them, so she would trust Xiao Zhuo unconditionally.

The line of fire in the distance was getting closer, and the night wind brought the dull sound of horseshoes.

"Onion, let's run," a male villager turned his head and wanted to run, "It will be too late."

"Nothing." Yang Cong held the handle of the saber with both hands, and plunged the point of the saber into the ground. "As long as I don't move, you are not allowed to move!"

"But the Xirong cavalry rushed over!"

The villagers of Xiaogang Village, who had never seen cavalry of the size of a thousand men, were all trembling with fright.

"I'm not afraid of a woman, how scared are you big men?" Yang Cong shouted without looking back, "Are you worthy of being called men?"

This sentence worked.The men who were about to escape stopped in place.

Yang Cong was still standing at the front. If he ran first, his dignity as a man would be wiped away.

A faint cry came from a distance, the neat line of fire gradually became chaotic, the sound of horseshoes turned into dense drumbeats, and the iron light reflected by the sword in the firelight was clearly visible.

The Xirong cavalry began to charge.

The ground under his feet began to tremble slightly, and Yang Cong's heart beat faster, and he held the saber tightly with both hands.

It is neither too early nor too late to act.Enemy cavalry lose their target too early and may regroup and adjust their strategy.If it was too late, he would be chopped into flesh by the Xirong cavalry rushing forward before he could run.

The Xirong cavalry was getting closer and closer to the position Song Zhen told her.

The speed of cavalry is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.Like a hurricane blowing across the grassland, the swift and ruthless iron hooves stepped across the line that Song Zhen had drawn.

"run!"

Yang Cong shouted, and ran to the ladder standing behind him first.

The villagers in Xiaogang Village had been waiting for Yang Cong's order. They threw hoes, forks, torches and other things in their hands on the ground.They turned around and climbed up the ladder.

"Hahaha, a bunch of mobs!" Dan Muji, who rushed to the front, looked up at the panicked appearance of the villagers fleeing, and laughed.

This look of panic and scrambling to escape is absolutely impossible to pretend.They were obviously frightened by the Xirong cavalry.

That's right.

If these villagers are not afraid, he will feel that there is something tricky.Looking at it now, it is a group of ordinary people who are trying to guard Xiaogang Village, wanting geckos to cut down trees.That guy Xiu Muye is suspicious and annoying.

Before the Xirong cavalry, dozens of villagers climbed up the hillsides on both sides of the pass, dispersed in a herd, and fled into the darkness.There were only farm tools thrown on the ground, and several burning torches, illuminating the broken rocks and broken logs blocking the pass.

The Xirong cavalry circled around the pass and stopped their horses one after another.

"Commander, those villagers have fled up the mountain." A centurion shouted, "Shall we go after them?"

"Remove these things that are in the way," Dan Muji pointed at the sundries blocking the pass with his saber, "don't worry about those who escaped, immediately pass through the pass and go straight to Xiaogang Village."
