Chapter 223 Let Me Come!
At this time, the Xiongnu army had retreated, and the battlefield fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that Li Rui's hair shivered. He did not dare to stay in this ghost place with nothing but corpses and blood, let alone hide here, even if
If he stayed there even for a second longer, he would go crazy!
We must leave this terrible place as soon as possible.
He quickly observed the surrounding terrain and found that there was a mountainous area not far away. The terrain here was flat, and the cavalry came and went like the wind. No one knew when he would run into those evil spirits, so he hid in the mountainous area.
It's safer. But he is unarmed now, and the mountainous areas of this era are completely different from modern times. There are so many tigers, leopards, and wolves. Unless he has Wu Song's skills, he will run into the mountains unarmed and become a snack for the beasts in minutes!
I need to find some weapons.
He supported his body with weak legs and began to search on the bloody battlefield.
This battle was really brutal. Both the offensive and defensive sides dropped thousands of corpses. The Huns did not clean up the battlefield. A large number of weapons and their owners were left here. It was relatively easy to find some weapons. Li Ruiqiang
Holding back his nausea, he rummaged through the piles of bloody corpses. He looked down upon the curled swords. It was not that these swords couldn't be used, but they had to be polished when they were taken back. It was too time-consuming and he didn't like them.
, he is looking for one that can be used directly without polishing or repairing!
This is a bit difficult.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he ran towards a dead horse.
This dead horse was very tall and extraordinary at first glance, but its head was hit with a blunt instrument, its skull was shattered, and its brains were burst. It was dead. There was also a corpse underneath it. This corpse was brightly armored.
It's quite conspicuous, and there might be something good there!
Li Rui tried his best to drag the unfortunate guy out from under the dead horse, and after a quick look, he saw that he was an officer in his thirties, wearing heavy iron armor, with a thick and short beard, his face was purple, and he was staring with anger.
, bleeding from all seven orifices, it looked really scary. If Li Rui was right, he should have been knocked over by a dead horse and crushed to death. It was such a tortured death!
Facing his wide eyes, Li Rui felt a little nervous. He clasped his hands and whispered: "General, I don't mean to offend you. I just want to find some equipment on you for self-defense. Please don't blame me. Don't blame me!"
He muttered in his mouth, and his hands were not idle. He closed the other person's eyes first, then forcefully opened the other person's stiff fingers, and took the long knife from his hand.
This is a typical ring-shou knife. The blade and handle are integrated and one meter long. The handle is wrapped with layers of fine hemp rope. It feels quite rough when held in the hand. Even if the hand is full of soap bubbles, it is not easy to let go. This is
The blade of the knife is narrow and long, with a thick back and a thin blade. Although there are stains of blood, it is not difficult to see the beautiful cloud patterns on the blade. This is a good knife made of hundreds of steel refinements. In this era, this knife is worth its weight in gold.
Thousands of gold!
Li Rui casually pulled a broken flag, wiped the blood on the sword, found the scabbard and sheathed it. Then, he unhooked a strong bow from the officer. This was a recurve bow, and the entire bow
It's 1.4 meters long. I tried to pull it. It's so hard that no one with more than 120 pounds of strength can't pull it. He is an archery athlete himself, and bows and arrows are perfect for him.
Weapons, yes, even the arrows in the officer's quiver that he didn't have time to shoot were accepted.
With the knife and the bow and arrow, he still felt that it was not safe enough, so he found a dagger and a spear. He asked himself that he was not an expert in martial arts. If he really encountered a wild beast or a barbarian, he would have to rely on one.
If you fight the opponent with a knife, then he is afraid that he will only die. It is safer to use a spear. Every inch is stronger!
Not only that, he also found two bags of dry food from the Hu people who died in the battle. He was so hungry now that he had to eat something immediately when he found a safe place, otherwise he might go dark and fall to the ground in a minute.
, and will never wake up again.
When everything was ready, he took a long breath, took his trophies, carefully avoided the corpses, dragged his tired body quickly away from the battlefield, and walked towards the mountains.
Even after walking far away, he could still smell the choking smell of blood. With so many people dead, I'm afraid the flowers and plants in this area would smell of blood, right? But he knew that this was just the prelude to something more tragic.
The war and more bloody killings are still to come. Now Liu Yuan's health is getting worse day by day. He is destined not to see the Xiongnu army capture Luoyang. When he dies of illness and Liu Cong succeeds to the throne, a disaster like earth shattering will sweep across.
At that time, the entire land of China will be shrouded in blood, until the Sui Dynasty will dominate the world more than two hundred and seventy years later!
And he, this traveler who accidentally broke into this time and space, was helpless in the face of this terrible disaster. He didn't even know if he could save his own life!
After walking for several miles, he finally couldn't smell the disgusting smell of blood, and there were no more corpses around him. Only then did Li Rui feel a little better. He opened the dry food bag, reached in and grabbed it.
There were a few hard pieces of dried meat that smelled very rancid, so they should be mutton jerky. He stuffed a piece into his mouth. Although the dried meat was very picky and didn't seem to have much salt, he was so hungry that he grumbled.
His stomach couldn't handle that much, so he kept urging him to open his back molars and chew wildly!
While he was devouring the food, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, causing him to almost have a cardiac arrest. Before his brain realized the danger, his body had already made an instinctive reaction and swooped behind a bush, hiding tightly!
Hundreds of meters away, more than ten horses were galloping towards this side. Li Rui's eyesight was very good and he could see clearly from a distance. The leader, wearing a Jin army uniform, was kicking the horse's belly and running at full speed. The ten men behind him were
Yu Qi was either wearing iron armor or leather armor and was chasing after him. Getting closer, he could clearly see that there were many arrowheads hanging on the armor of the Jin warrior, and his whole body was shot like a sea urchin.
, but those barbarians used horse bows with weak bow power, and the quality of his armor was really good. Even though he was shot into a hedgehog, none of the arrows could break through the armor, so...
Nothing happened.
Not only was everything fine, but he was able to turn around and bend his bow while escaping, and shoot at the pursuing barbarians. The two sides went back and forth like this, chasing and shooting at each other from a distance of thirty to forty meters, with horses' hooves like the wind and arrows like rain.
It was really tense and exciting.
"ah----"
A scream suddenly rang out. A foreigner wearing iron armor was hit by an arrow in the face. He threw away the bow in his hand and fell from his horse. He fell heavily to the ground, face first. Li Rui couldn't help but express his gratitude to the man who was being chased.
The warrior of the Western Jin Dynasty, who had to roll and crawl, was greatly admired. Mounted archery was very difficult. He had also practiced it, but his results were not very good. On the ground, he could easily hit a head-sized person a hundred meters away with one arrow.
A balloon, but on horseback, let alone seventy meters away, it may not be able to hit within thirty meters. This Jin warrior can accurately shoot an arrow on a galloping horse, hitting the target
The eyes of the barbarian soldiers, their archery skills are really awesome.
The Western Jin Dynasty warrior was obviously proud of his arrow. He avoided a few more arrows and turned around and shouted: "Hulu, who are constantly killing, have you seen the fate of your companions? Grandpa, there are still eleven arrows here."
, just enough for each of you, if you continue to chase me, I will send you all to see the King of Hell!"
It was okay that he didn't speak, but his words angered the Hu people. A Hu man wearing iron armor whistled, and eleven Hu people aimed at the Jin warrior's horse and fired arrows. In the blink of an eye,
, the war horse under this Jin warrior was hit by several arrows, hissing in pain, and fell down suddenly. The Jin warrior reacted quickly, and jumped out the moment the horse fell to the ground, and rolled several times after landing.
Finally he was not suppressed by the war horse. He stood up quickly and glared at the barbarians who were surrounding him from all sides. He threw away his bow and arrow and drew out his sword, cursing: "Damn you bastards, you guys
They are just a bunch of shady rats who only deserve to stay in the dark and dirty ditches and use some shady tricks to plot against others!"
The Hu officer who commanded the Hu men to shoot down the Jin samurai war horses gave a grim smile and said in stiff Luo dialect: "When you Jin people are fighting with us, don't you like to shoot down our war horses first? We are just like that.
It’s just a lesson, why can’t you stand it?”
The Jin army warriors were immediately speechless.
Isn't that right? When the Central Plains dynasty fought with the Hu cavalry, they always liked to shoot down the opponent's horse with a crossbow first, because the horse is half the life of the cavalry, and the cavalry who lost the horse was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.
Deal with them how you want to deal with them. Now the Hu people are just imitating others. Why is he so angry?
Then there was nothing more to say. He took a deep breath, held the knife in both hands, leaned against the dead horse, and prepared to make a last stand.
The Hu officer looked at him and said: "You are young and it is not easy to develop your riding and shooting skills. I admire you very much. As long as you are willing to submit, I will spare your life!"
The Jin army warrior spat on the ground and said: "Imagine your mother's Spring and Autumn Dream! My grandfather was born as a Han and will die as a Han ghost. Even if he dies, he will not bow to you idiots!"
He speaks a bastard, which makes these bastards very angry. When the bastards these days hear others calling themselves a bastard, the feeling is similar to the Chinese people in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China who were pointed at their noses and called the sick man of East Asia.
If it was the Han Dynasty or the Wei Dynasty, they would have tolerated scolding them like this. After all, the Han army and the Wei army were really strong. They couldn't defeat them at all. Let alone calling them idiots, they had to agree obediently even if they were called grandson. But now
It's the Western Jin Dynasty. Ever since Liu Yuan, the king of Han Dynasty, raised his army, they have basically won more and lost less against the Jin army. The Central Plains, which had spent five hundred years unable to cross even half a step, was opened in front of them, allowing them to plunder.
Countless Jin people trembled and knelt down in front of their horses' hooves, howling and begging... After all, how could anyone dare to scold them?
