Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 481 Hu people's tribe

  The grassland in the early morning is full of emerald green, stretching all the way to the side of the mountain, and then it becomes darker under the change of light and shadow.

  The breeze blows, the long and thin grass leaves sway, and the crystal dew slowly rolls down along the leaves, like a transparent pearl, exuding colorful brilliance.

  Through the crystal clear dew, you can see a few tents scattered not far away, and a large circle of wooden fences surrounding some cattle and sheep...

The curtain of the tent, which was patched and patched with thick cloth, was lifted, and a bearded woman with a cauldron tucked around her waist stepped out of it. Although the large sheepskin robe was old, it was still clean, and it looked a little flimsy. Trembling slightly in the air.

  Hu Nu hummed an unknown tune, turned to the back of the tent, pushed aside the half-person-high fence, and came to a cow.

   First, he went to cut some hay and put it in the cow trough to feed the cow. Then he scratched the cow's neck and patted it twice.

  The cow mooed lowly, grinding the hay in her mouth, and turned her dark eyes, as if she was smiling slightly.

Hu Nu squatted down and got close to the cow's belly. She breathed a sigh of relief in her hand, and then rubbed her hands together several times to relax her palms. Then she reached out and picked up a bulging cow's milk. Squeeze gently.

  Snow-white milk splashed into the cauldron, making a sizzling sound, stirring up a shallow layer of foam...

  A black-billed sparrow flew over in a daze, then landed in the grass, tilted its head slightly, then jumped forward with its legs, lowered its head and pecked at something on the ground.

  Suddenly, the black-billed sparrow suddenly raised its head, stiffened its neck, tilted its head as if listening to something, then kicked its legs, and flew into the sky in a blink of an eye.

The sparrow flew higher and higher, flew across the vast grassland in a blink of an eye, and then flew over a small hillside. Suddenly seeing the cavalrymen sweeping towards them like dark clouds covering the ground, they frantically shook their wings vigorously, flapped two or three feathers, and fled. go high...

  Gently and soft gray-white feathers fluttered down in the air, and then they disappeared to nowhere when they were blown by the wind carried by the cavalry below.

  I only heard the thunderous sound of horseshoes, shaking the ground as if it was trembling.

  The Hu girl in front of the tent was walking back with a half-full pot of milk, but saw the milk in the pot began to ripple in circles, and a few drops of milk even jumped out of the shock...

  A shadow looms.

A tricolor flag slowly rises from the top of the hill, a knight reveals his body against the sun, his face is completely hidden in the shadows, only the long knife on the horse's back is flickering with a frightening look. shine.

  Hu Nu widened her eyes, opened her mouth wide, loosened her hands, and the small copper kettle fell straight to the ground, splashing milk everywhere...

  More and more cavalrymen showed their figures on the hillside, standing in a line in black, the horses of various colors snorted and sprayed hot air, covering the figures of these cavalrymen with a layer of distorted light mist.

Amidst Hu Nu's sharp and miserable cry, Ma Yue raised the long knife in his hand, and immediately the cavalry rode down, like a big crab, stretching out two thick long pincers, towards the Hu man in front of him. Horde clips away...

  The sound of ox horns resounded in the sky, and many barbarians came out of the tents, either holding bows and arrows or holding a long knife, but it was already a step too late.

Dozens of arrows were nailed to the open space in front of the tent like a line. The black arrow shafts and white arrow feathers seemed to draw a restricted area, freezing the actions of these barbarians immediately. Living.

Although no one said a word, and no one shouted loudly, these arrows were full of strong deterrence and warning. Everyone knew that if there was any hostile move, then the next batch of arrows would come It should be stuck on people...

Ma Yue sat on the back of the horse, didn't even look at the panicked small tribal barbarians, but focused on the group of cavalry under him, watching them galloping staggered, Wrapped a few times like a twisted twist, the entire Huren tribe was cut into scattered small pieces.

  The Hu cavalry, or the cavalry of the Southern Huns, may be due to their own defects, or may be an innate adaptation. Compared with the Han cavalry in Bingzhou, they are more skilled and have a better understanding.

Ma Yue has been observing and summing up before. When the barbarians charge and attack, they basically don’t need special orders. It looks like a mess when they start to run, but they will slowly and quickly during the charge. The automatic and spontaneous changes are for the front and arrow formation!

  The most special thing is that there is no one to guide and dispatch during the whole process, just like the instinct engraved in the body of a barbarian, easily adjusting the rhythm and pace of the attack,

  This kind of tacit cooperation in a small-scale team is a skill that Ma Yue lacked the most.

   But now, it seems to be made up for a little bit.

  Compared to previous times, it feels much smoother...

   Ma Yue raised his chin slightly and sat on the horseback. The guards behind him were also holding the battle flag, as stable as Mount Tai. They did not issue any orders, but relied entirely on the automatic adjustment of the soldiers and low-ranking non-commissioned officers. This kind of spontaneous and subtle cooperation can adapt to the changes of the battlefield more effectively. Soldiers don't need to pay attention to the movement of the central battle flag all the time. They only need to cooperate with the surrounding comrades and obey the orders of the low-level non-commissioned officers. Just arrange it.

In other words, the original cavalry of the Han people were strong and powerful, but slightly deficient in agility, like a mechanical puppet, whose every move had to be coordinated and commanded by the central commander. The human cavalry mode is like adding some lubricant to the joints of the cavalry puppet...

   "Raise the flag! Sound the horn!" Ma Yue saw that the whole tribal scene was basically under control, so he ordered.

  A double-headed Golden Crow battle flag was raised high, and Yu Feiqian's three-color battle flag was juxtaposed. At the same time, the desolate and distant ox horn sounded at the same time...

   After Ma Yue's cavalry received the signal, they began to shout in short nonsense, ordering all the people in the small tribe to kneel down, and those who disobeyed the order would be beheaded!

  The horseshoes of the war horse flew, and the blades of grass with starting points shuttled around the tent.

In the barbarian tribe, some held their heads in horror and howled, some stared wide-eyed and looked around, while others held on to something around them tightly, as if using it to provide them with the strength to stand .

  An old hand slowly opened a corner of the tent, revealing a little coldness...

   The composition of the Hu people in Bingzhou is very complicated. The Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuheng live together, and most of the remaining Han people here are also Hu Hua...

   In addition, the author Junku sat and searched the Internet for more than two hours, but he couldn't find the representative meaning of the ancient flag...

   Just finding some…

   Dog flags represent crossbowmen...

   The flag with colorful feathers on the end of the pole represents the halberd soldiers...

   Feather flags represent shield soldiers...

   The dragon flag represents chariot soldiers (has been abandoned in the Han Dynasty)...

   The bird flag represents the cavalry...

   Goshawk flag represents the dead (death squad)...

   The tiger flag represents the main force...

   The double rabbit flag represents the reserve team...

   PS: More will be added tomorrow...
