Late Han Zhao Tang

Chapter 28 Is my spear good or not?

Inside the spacious tent.

Ebe rested his head on his hands, staring at the ceiling of the tent with bright eyes, and could not fall asleep.

He was not a member of the Chigan tribe. His original tribe was defeated by the enemy due to a dispute over grassland, and he was forced to start exile with his brothers and sisters. Later, he met the Chigan tribe. The leader Chigan Puda saw that he was an excellent archer, so he stayed in the tribe as a warrior in exchange for the temporary residence of his brothers and sisters.

At that time, Chigan Puda was accidentally killed in battle. In order to inherit the position of leader, the eldest son Chigan Hu and the younger son Chigan Zheyi had a fierce quarrel. The conflict between the two sides was almost impossible to resolve unless the two separated or one of them killed the other.

At the same time, Ebe felt uneasy about the ambush and killing of the caravan that day. He felt that the caravan would not let it go and would definitely find an opportunity to retaliate in the future.

The situation of internal and external troubles gave Ebe, as an outsider, a headache. He didn't know whether he should take his brothers and sisters to find another tribe to live in to avoid the coming disaster.

Turning his head to look at his brother and sister-in-law sleeping quietly, Ebe sighed slightly. No matter what, he would try his best to protect his brother and sister-in-law's safety.

Thinking of this, sleepiness gradually came over Ebe. He was so sleepy that he covered himself with a dirty black sheepskin and soon began to snore.

After an unknown amount of time, Ebe turned over comfortably. She didn't know what she was dreaming about, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

In a trance in his sleep, Ebe dreamed that he had his own ranch and was galloping on the fertile pasture.

I just felt the sound of horse hooves was so real and getting closer and closer!

Suddenly, Ebe finally distinguished between reality and dreams. He stood up and listened to the noisy sounds coming from outside the tent, which made Ebe feel uneasy.

In order to find out what was going on, Ebe walked out of the tent in a daze, but saw that a cavalry group broke into the tribe like a whirlwind, waving swords and spears to kill the Chiganhu people in the tribe. Fires suddenly lit up and shouts of killing shook the sky.

The leading armored knight charged forward with a bow in hand. He saw a Hu man, raised his head and drew his bow. The sound of arrows breaking through the air was loud, and the Hu man fell down, holding his chest.

"Enemy attack!"

Ebe's mind suddenly became clear, and he shouted symbolically. In order to protect his younger brother and sister, he immediately went back to the tent to get weapons.

Inside the tent, the younger brother and sister were awakened by Ebe's movements. The older boy rubbed his dry eyes and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

Ebe picked up his longbow, grabbed his spear, and said, "The enemy is raiding our tribe, follow me!"

When Ebe and his sister-in-law walked out of the yurt, they met an armored knight head-on. Upon closer inspection, he found that he was the handsome young man he had fought before.

Before Ebe could raise his spear to defend himself, the young knight's followers raised their spears and stabbed him.

"stop!"

Zhang Yu pulled the reins, recognized the Ebe he had fought with before, and shouted.

Hao Zhao's spear stopped half a foot in front of Ebe's face, and the sharp tip of the spear almost pierced him!

Zhang Yu asked in Xianbei language: "Where is the tribal leader?"

Ebe was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the tents in the distance and said, "Since Puda's death, there has been no leader in the tribe. His two sons are vying to be the leader, and both of them have white scarves hanging in front of their tents."

"stay!"

"I'll spare your life!"

"Bo Song, take the men to guard the surrendered prisoners!"

After saying that, Zhang Yu took Hao Zhao, Zhang Maoshan and several followers and headed in the direction indicated by Ebe.

Li Song thought of the spear and arrows he had carried for Zhang Yu and wanted to shout, but seeing that Zhang Yu had already gone far away, he had to give up for the time being.

The situation on the battlefield today has changed greatly. As three cavalry teams charged into the tribe, there was an unusual commotion inside and outside the tribe. More and more Hu people woke up, and hundreds of cavalrymen clashed left and right, throwing the tribe into chaos.

Du Sheng led more than 20 riders and charged in from the east, burning hay and felt tents along the way. When he met lone Hu people, he killed them immediately and tried his best to create chaos.

Zhang Yang led forty cavalrymen and rushed in from the north. He used cattle and sheep to create chaos and killed the Hu people in the tribe.

Zhang Yu attacked from the west and had a very smooth journey. In order to prevent the tribesmen from gathering to resist, he dispersed his cavalry as much as possible and at the same time released the slaves that were previously controlled by Chi cadres to help his side.

Although the outer camps lost their resistance due to the surprise attack, the Hu people closer to the central area had already taken action after being disturbed by the noise.

"kill!"

Zhang Yu raised his hand and shot an arrow, killing the bow-wielding Hu man who had just walked out of the tent. He shouted to the back: "The enemy is numerous and we are few. Don't hesitate to fight, and kill them quickly in the center of the army!"

"Brother, drive the Hu people away and disrupt their lives!"

Hao Zhao swung his spear to pick up the flying spear, turned his hand and thrust forward, the spear tip stabbed the leather-armored Hu man to death. He pulled the spear back with his backhand, pulled the spear tip out of his chest, and continued to run forward.

Zhang Yu saw the change and shouted, "Don't kill those without weapons, don't kill women and children, drive them to the middle, I will be in front with the bow, and you and I will follow closely with spears."

"promise!"

Zhang Yu, wearing a black iron armor, rode his horse into the crowd and shot at every Hu soldier he met. In this fierce war, Zhang Yu was like a tank, charging forward. Unless a desperate criminal dared to stab him with a spear, it would be difficult to hurt Zhang Yu with just a bone arrow. However, even if the enemy approached, Zhang Yu had Hao Zhao by his side to protect him.

"help me!"

While riding a horse to drive away the chaotic crowd, they saw a Hu man with disheveled hair, imprisoned in a wooden cage, shouting for help in awkward Chinese to Zhang Yu and others.

Zhang Yu had no intention of responding, but he heard the man shout, "Give me a knife, I can help you kill someone."

"Li Guang, throw him a knife!"

"promise!"

Li Guang drew out the saber from his waist and threw it through the gap in the wooden cage. The Hu man picked up the ring-handled saber on the ground and chopped the wooden pillar frantically, cutting it in two strokes, and then passed through the gap, following closely behind the Han cavalry as he had said before, helping Zhang Yu kill the enemy.

The casual action of rescuing Hu did not distract Zhang Yu. Seeing Hao Zhao had arrived in front of the big tent with a white scarf hanging on it at some point, Zhang Yu rode forward quickly to support Hao Zhao who was in trouble.

"careful!"

Zhang Yu came galloping and killed a Chiganhu man who tried to launch a sneak attack on Hao Zhao with one arrow.

"Brother!"

Hao Zhao pointed at the empty tent with the white scarf hanging on it and shouted, "This Chiganhu has escaped!"

Observing the surroundings, Zhang Yu did not hesitate and said sternly: "Then kill Chigan Zheyi!"

"There!" Zhang Yu saw a tent with a white scarf hanging about a hundred steps away from here. The tent was brightly lit, and a large number of Hu people gathered in front of the tent, mostly infantry and few cavalry.

Hao Zhao glanced at the followers behind him and said anxiously, "The situation is too chaotic. Only Li Guang is following behind, and Mao Shan is nowhere to be found. Should we slow down and wait for more people to arrive?"

Zhang Yu glanced at Hao Zhao, and felt the gap between Hao Zhao and Zhang Liao. If Zhang Liao was his partner now, Zhang Liao would have seized the opportunity of the chaos and attacked with a sudden attack to kill Chi Gan Zheyi.

"No!"

Seeing that the number of Hu people in front of the tent was increasing, but the order was becoming more and more chaotic, and he had not seen Zhang Yang for a long time, Zhang Yu said decisively: "Although the Hu people are numerous, their hearts are not united. If we take action later and wait for their hearts to gather, the situation will not be in our favor. Now with the strength of a few cavalrymen, we are enough to break the formation and kill the enemy chief."

"go!"

After saying this, the three riders rode away on their horses. The Hu man was inconspicuous and just followed Zhang Yu silently.

As the four men approached the big tent, the Chigan Hu people began to shout fiercely, and several other fierce Hu people rode their horses forward.

Zhang Yu raised his head and drew his bow with his right hand, shooting down the Hu cavalry head-on. Then he cut his left hand and drew his bow again, shooting down the Hu cavalry who were about to attack him.

Hao Zhao stabbed one of the riders and followed closely behind Zhang Yu, but Li Guang was entangled and had difficulty in getting out, gradually falling behind the two riders.

"Kill these three Han people and avenge the old man!"

Chigan Zheyi relied on the large number of people around him and shouted loudly under the guidance of his trusted men: "Whoever kills the Han man who shot the arrow will be rewarded with three horses, ten cows, and fifty sheep."

The living environment of the Hu people was harsh and supplies were extremely scarce, so under the huge reward of Chiganzheyi, the ferocity of the Hu people instantly increased.

The surge of more than 30 Hu people and the dense felt tents around not only reduced the cavalry's maneuvering space, but also greatly increased the pressure faced by Zhang Yu. But even so, Zhang Yu and Hao Zhao teamed up to kill several Hu people. When the Hu people faced Zhang Yu's arrows, except for those holding shields who advanced, the rest were a little afraid.

Seeing an enemy approaching with a shield raised, Zhang Yu subconsciously touched his quiver, but found that not only were the quivers on both sides empty, but his lance was also missing. At this time, Zhang Yu remembered that Li Song, who helped him carry arrows and spears, was left behind by him to guard the Hu people.

"grass!"

Cursing silently, Zhang Yu dropped his bow and drew his sword, blocking the spear that was stabbing at him by the Hu people.

"No more arrows, move forward and surround and kill them quickly!"

The Hu people discovered that Zhang Yu's quiver was empty and shouted with joy.

Seeing that Zhang Yu's men were alone and weak, many Hu people rushed forward with spears, intending to join forces to surround and kill Zhang Yu.

Hao Zhao's eyes were red with anger. If he let Zhang Yu die here, he would be a sinner.

"Brother, don't fight any longer, retreat quickly!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu's ferocity had been aroused. He could not hear Hao Zhao's words at all. He stretched out his hand to grab the spear that was stabbing at him, cut off the spear shaft with one knife, and then sent the spear tip to the Hu cavalry, piercing it into the abdomen.

At this time, a Hu man saw Zhang Yu and his horse stopped, and wanted to attack him from behind with a spear.

Under the dim firelight, the disheveled Hu man rushed out from the darkness, holding a small wooden shield, knocked over the Hu man who was attacking him, and stabbed him in the chest with a knife, killing him.

Zhang Yu was naturally aware of the commotion behind him and shouted, "Good skills!"

The dishevelled-haired Hu threw his spear and shouted, "Sir, use the spear!"

"it is good!"

With the help of his peripheral vision, Zhang Yu could clearly see the appearance of this Hu man. He was taller and more sturdy than ordinary Hu men. He was able to follow him until now, so it was obvious that he had good martial arts skills.

"My lord, I will fight in front and provide protection for you!"

At this time, Li Guang, who had been entangled by the Hu cavalry before, had killed the enemy and joined the battle, relieving a lot of pressure for Zhang Yu.

"What should we do, young master?"

Li Guang came to his side and shouted.

Zhang Yu observed the surrounding situation and saw that he was only thirty steps away from Chigan Zheyi. He laughed and said, "Now that things have come to this, we can only move forward and not retreat!"

After saying that, Zhang Yu seized the opportunity and suddenly galloped out on his horse, as fast as a flash of lightning. In the blink of an eye, in the shocked gaze of everyone, he crashed into the loose group of Hu people, aiming directly at Chi Gan Zhe Yi.

Zhang Yu wielded the spear like a living snake, and the spear head drew an arc in the air, and a Hu man fell to the ground with blood splattered and died.

Then, with a flash of cold light, Zhang Yu knocked down another person with ease.

In an instant, Zhang Yu was only ten steps away from Chi Gan Zhe Yi, and both sides seemed to be able to see each other's faces clearly.

Seeing the armored knight coming straight at him, Chigan Zheyi shouted in fear, "Stop him!"

But who dares to stop a war horse charging at high speed?
The two Hu people in front of Chi Gan Zhe Yi were so frightened that they both made way for him and allowed Zhang Yu to charge forward.

Chi Gan Zheyi's face turned pale and he wanted to run away, but for some reason he couldn't move.

The next moment, Chi Gan Zhe Yi only felt a figure flashing before his eyes, and a sharp pain in his chest. The spear pierced through him from front to back, and bright red blood dripped down the spear shaft.

Before his death, Chigan Zheyi actually regretted not following his brother's example and leaving the south earlier.

"Is my spear good or not?"

Zhang Yu's face was firm and his voice was solemn, which frightened the surrounding Hu soldiers so much that they were at a loss for what to do!
At this time, a trusted and fierce Hu man reacted, rushed forward from behind, and stabbed Zhang Yu in the back with a spear.

"Be careful!" Hao Zhao shouted in panic.

Zhang Yu swung his upper body, grabbed the spear with his left arm, and then twisted his waist and exerted force suddenly, and the fierce Hu man could not pull out the spear.

The strength in his arms was lost, and Han Hu's body became unstable. Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yu drew his spear and stabbed back!
The next moment, the spear had pierced into Hanhu's chest!
"Is my spear sharp?" Zhang Yu shouted loudly facing everyone.

Zhang Yu had a loud voice, and when he scolded everyone, his tone was full of heroism. Combined with the sudden beheading, the sound shook the whole camp for a while!
The whole audience fell silent!

Hao Zhao looked dazed. Wasn't his brother good at archery? How could he be so fierce with a spear?

The disheveled Hu man's face was full of disbelief, it all happened too quickly, just a few breaths of time, Zhang Yu rode out on his horse, the feathers on his helmet weaving through the crowd, and he broke into the battle formation and killed Chi Gan and Zhe Yi.

This is really horrifying!
