Great Han Empire

Chapter 3 Rising Sun
Suddenly there was a shrill sound of bull horns on the grassland.Li Hong has a special feeling for the low sound of the horn.He listened to it every day as long as he could remember. He felt that the sound of the trumpet was desolate and powerful, and it could relax people's impetuous and tense mood.He likes to listen to it, and also likes to play it himself, but now the sound of the trumpet is extremely uncomfortable to his ears.They were discovered by pursuers.

Holding the spear in his hand, Murong Feng shouted loudly: "Kill it!"

More than 30 cavalry immediately let out a loud roar before the battle, each holding their weapons, with Murong Feng as the center arrow, lined up, and greeted the pursuers who appeared faintly in the field of vision.

The two sides got closer and closer, and when the distance was about 150 steps, (a step in the Han Dynasty was equivalent to about 1.4 meters today.) Li Hong heard a loud horn sound from the middle position.The iron wolf on his left yelled, "Up arrow!"

Li Hong was very nervous and flustered. After all, in his short memory of a few months, this was the first time he fought an enemy face-to-face, and it was a life-and-death fight.

The effect of Iron Wolf's usual training was revealed at this time.After a moment of nervousness, Li Hong stabilized his hand holding the bow.His legs are firmly clamped on the horse's belly, (in the Han Dynasty, there were no stirrups yet), his body is slightly sideways, the arrow is strung, his right hand draws the bow, aims at his target, and is ready to shoot at any time.

The speed of the horse was getting faster and faster, and the whistling wind was everywhere.The dense horseshoes quickly rose and fell on the grass, making a deafening roar.

The loud horn sounded again, and the distance between the two sides was about a hundred steps.The iron wolf let out a loud roar, which made Li Hong's whole body tremble, and a tingling coolness swept over his whole body in an instant.

"put……!"

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......"

Murong Feng's men are all warriors who have experienced battles, their martial arts are better than ordinary soldiers, and their arrows can be shot farther than ordinary soldiers, so Murong Feng ordered his men to shoot first to seize the opportunity.Immediately, horns sounded one after another on the grassland, and the two sides shot arrows back and forth for three rounds, causing damage to each other.Soon the distance between the two sides was only forty or fifty steps away.

With the sound of its own horn, Iron Wolf let out another loud roar: "Kill it..."

In Li Hong's ears, besides the huge and dull sound of the galloping horses colliding heavily, there are the screams of the soldiers on both sides, the tearing sound of spears piercing into the flesh, and the broken bones of the sword. Voice.In an instant, Li Hong rushed out of the contact point, and besides the sound of the wind was the sound of horseshoes in his ears.

Li Hong killed the second person he had been since he could remember.It was a middle-aged strong man, and Li Hongfu dodged the spear stabbed by that man on the horse's belly, and then Li Hong's saber quickly slashed across the man's chest and abdomen.Out of the corner of Li Hong's eye, he saw the man fall off the horse.The blood on the saber was gently caressed by the cool wind on the grassland, and soon solidified, turning into a shocking purple-brown color.

Li Hong reined in the reins with all his strength to stop the galloping horse.

On the battlefield, whoever can launch a second attack in the shortest time will have an absolute advantage.With the help of a galloping horse, the weapon swung away depends on the inertia of speed, and its strength is infinitely greater.On the battlefield, if the horse does not run in time, even a general may be hacked to death by an unknown soldier galloping on the horse.

Li Hong's riding skills were trained very well by Iron Wolf.The war horse ran sideways with the help of inertia, turned around, and immediately galloped again.

The sound of fighting resounded through the green grassland.

The opponent was a team of scouting cavalry under Mu Ye, there were about 20 people, and after two rounds, they were slaughtered by Murong Feng's gang of fierce soldiers.On Murong Feng's side, four or five people were injured by arrows, and Li Hong killed two people.

Those cavalrymen who followed Murong Feng originally looked down upon this long-haired Han kid.In their eyes, the Han people are weak and can be bullied. If it wasn't for Iron Wolf's face, and this kid saved Murong Feng with all his efforts, they would have spoken ill to him long ago, but it's different now.This tall and strong boy is very good at archery, sword, and riding.The Xianbei people, like all the Hu people, respect those who are brave and brave, and they can already accept Li Hong.Li Hong suddenly found that the eyes of these people looking at him were much softer and kinder.

Li Hong dismounted to help collect weapons, and several people were looking for the money of the dead soldiers.

Murong Feng sat on the horse, looking at the dark sky in the distance, silently thinking about his own thoughts.

At dusk, Ke Ju, a commander of the Tiger Tribe, led more than 200 people and chased him from a distance.Murong Feng and his subordinates were outnumbered, they didn't dare to stop fighting, so they urged their horses to gallop away.

A forest appeared in the distance.With a wave of Murong Feng's hand, everyone understood, turned their horses around and galloped away into the woods.After entering the woods, everyone dismounted and looked for a hidden place to stop the enemy.Murong Feng ordered a wounded cavalryman to go out from the side woods and go to Bailuyuan, thirty miles away, to find the cavalry who had ambushed there in advance to come to rescue.

Ke Ju led the troops to chase outside the woods, without any hesitation, he immediately ordered everyone to get off their horses and go into the woods to kill the enemy. More than 200 people against more than 30 people, no matter how powerful the enemy is, I am afraid that they will die in the end.

After walking into the woods, the familiar feeling in Li Hong's heart suddenly gushed out.This familiar feeling made him very confident, and he even felt that he could dominate all the life in this forest.He didn't think much, and quickly integrated his body into the dense grass.

The soldiers of the Tiger Tribe were very careful, holding small shields, and advancing layer by layer.

Li Hong hid behind the tree and raised his hand without hesitation.A soldier fell in response to the string, and a cluster of sharp arrows pierced deeply into the opponent's throat, and then countless long arrows roared towards Li Hong's hiding place.Immediately afterwards, Murong Feng's subordinates who were hiding everywhere shot a deadly arrow at the enemy.

Li Hong found that his reaction suddenly became sharper and his skills became more vigorous.He quickly shifted his position after the long arrow left the string, and then shot another arrow.An enemy soldier was hit by an arrow in the forehead and fell on his back before he could even scream.Li Hong jumped up and down, ran back and forth, shot and killed five enemy soldiers with arrows, and then was very unfortunate to be intercepted by Ke Ju.

Ke Ju walked on the side of the team, keeping a close eye on the long-haired Han Chinese slave.Xianbei people, no matter men, women, old or young, don't wear hats, are bald, only keep their hair on the top of their heads, and shave off the rest of their hair.The lock of hair on the top of the head is very long and falls to the back of the head. The ancients called it "kun head".Probably the Hu people did it deliberately for the sake of convenience, and it naturally became the custom of their own tribe after a long time.Now that Ke Ju is keeping a close eye on Li Hong's long hair, Li Hong is very recognizable.

With a roar, Li Hong aimed at Ke Ju and stabbed him in the head.A simple and clean knife, a powerful and heavy knife.

Ke Ju swung his broadsword horizontally and tried his best to seal the frame. Sparks flew wildly for a while, and the sound of gold and iron was deafening.Ke Ju's hands were so painful and numb from the shock, he suddenly felt the strength of the man in front of him.Li Hong took a slanted front with his saber, and slashed at Ke Ju's left hand along the long handle of the saber.Ke Ju screamed loudly, panicked.In order to keep his left finger, he had to let go, but immediately his chest and abdomen were all exposed in front of Li Hong's knife.

At this moment, someone behind Li Hong raised a knife and attacked him suddenly.Li Hong had no choice but to give up and continue to attack Ke Ju, and the counterattack was just a knife.The raider probably didn't expect Li Hong to have such gravity, and the knife in his hand was knocked crooked immediately.Li Hong turned around and slapped the sneak attacker on the neck. The man screamed, his neck snapped and he fell to the ground.

Li Hong didn't even look at it, and took advantage of the opportunity to kick Ke Ju's waist, who was once again wielding his sword.Ke Ju shivered in pain, and the big knife slashed to the ground crookedly.Li Hong immediately flew up and kicked Ke Ju's neck with his right foot extremely quickly.Ke Ju flew into the air, hit a big tree fiercely, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.Ke Ju's eyes widened, he looked at Li Hong in disbelief, and died instantly.

Several tiger tribe soldiers found that Ke Ju had been knocked down, and ran over to rescue him screaming.Li Hong casually flew out the long knife in his hand, killing one in the air.The man had a knife stabbed in his chest, blood spattered everywhere, and ran a few steps tenaciously, his momentum was truly astonishing.Then Li Hong naturally took out an arrow from behind, pulled the bow and shot it very quickly, and shot the enemy who was only one step away from him through the throat.At the same time, Li Hong picked up a sword that had fallen to the ground with his left foot, and slashed fiercely at the charging enemy.At this time, more soldiers found Ke Ju lying on the ground, they roared angrily and rushed up frantically, intending to rescue their leader.

The more Li Hong fought, the more flexible he became. Without thinking in his head, his hands and feet would instinctively react extremely fiercely, and even a single elbow movement could end a life.Li Hong fought extremely smoothly, he didn't use weapons, he only used his hands and feet, and every available part of his body could be used as a weapon.He felt that although these big men in front of him had weapons in their hands and had strength, they all seemed so stupid that they were no match for him at all.In a very short period of time, Li Hong hacked two to death with a knife, kicked three to death when the enemy was not paying attention, and smashed a face.

At this moment, he heard a familiar voice screaming not far away: "Someone is coming, someone is coming..." It was the cry of Iron Wolf.

There were really too many enemies, Murong Feng and his men were at an absolute disadvantage for the rest of the time except for taking advantage of a little advantage when the sneak attack first started.It is impossible for ordinary soldiers to resist six or seven enemy soldiers by one person, except for super masters of martial arts.More than a dozen of Murong Feng's men were killed by the other party in a short period of time.

Murong Feng himself was also entangled by more than a dozen enemy soldiers.Although his martial arts are strong, he can't fight against many people, and he must always be on guard against the opponent's sniping arrows, so he was stabbed very quickly.Iron Wolf has been by his side, helping Murong Feng with his sharp shot from time to time.Seeing that the commander was injured, he couldn't help being anxious, and he yelled at the top of his voice, regardless of whether he was exposed or not.

Li Hong was guerrillaring the enemy not far away, he thought that the iron wolf was in danger, and hurried to the place where the iron wolf was shouting.Li Hong saw Murong Feng being slashed by someone from a distance, and immediately rushed up like crazy, swung his saber and chopped it up.He was red-eyed a long time ago, his whole body was dizzy, and he used the knife like chopping wood, without any method, but his killing like chopping wood really made people shudder.

Murong Feng's subordinates quickly gathered from all over the place, they protected their commander and broke out of the encirclement without any danger.

Encountering this group of not-so-violent desperadoes, the enemy was frightened.Now their leader, Ke Ju, is dead, the pursuers have lost command, the dragons have no leader, and they have no grounds to advance or retreat.Since there is no leader to supervise the battle, no one wants to go up to die in vain.The pursuers immediately slowed down their pursuit, while the fleeing people ran faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther.

"You idiot, can you use your brains when you kill people. You must protect yourself first, and then kill people." Iron Wolf scolded Li Hong fiercely, who followed behind him every step of the way.Li Hong was covered in blood, even his long hair was bloody.He smiled innocently at Iron Wolf, but was very moved in his heart.He knew that Iron Wolf said this because he cared about him.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh. You idiot."
