"General Han really has extraordinary insights!" Jia Xu showed his figure on the mountain, standing under a three-color flag, laughing loudly, and then waved his hand, "Come, give the gift!"

As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, many soldiers threw some rolling wooden stones from the hillside down from the top of the mountain. Some even lit some big grass balls more than half a person tall, and then pushed them down violently!

The rolling stone wood jumped on the black mountain in Tietang Gorge and roared down!

Han Sui and others who were winding in Tietang Gorge had no time to react. Suddenly, many soldiers were hit by rolling stones and wood, and their bones were broken and their tendons were blurred.

The jumping grass ball turned into a huge fireball in the air, jumping down with blazing flames. Several of them might have collided between the mountains, or the flames burned the hemp ropes used to bind them, and the burning branches scattered in the air, covering Han Sui's soldiers like rain of fire!

"Retreat quickly!"

Han Sui turned around and ran away as soon as possible, and even pushed a soldier who was blocking his path away with his hands! The soldier was unstable and immediately fell from the path of the sheep intestine and fell into the mountain stream. He saw that he could not survive.

Han Sui was running faster, while Ma Chao was faster. As soon as Jia Xu laughed and before he finished speaking, Ma Chao looked up and immediately turned around and ran without saying a word...

Whoever continues to rush forward will be a fool.

Since Jia Xu appeared here, Han Sui and Ma Chao were very clear about the terrain of Tietang Gorge. There was a drop in the mountain ahead, and you had to climb over the rock strata before you could continue to move forward. The soldiers who were expeditioning in the west must be on the rock strata and there was still a glimmer of hope for turning around and running. Continue to move forward is the word "death"!

But Jia Xu obviously knew this, and the point was to use grass balls to ignite the congestion of Han Sui and Ma Chao's escape route. However, because the Tietang Gorge Road is not an ordinary dry and waterless mountain road, but mountain streams flowing through the valley, it is not easy to block the road with fire.

However, the burning grass balls that retreated one after another still achieved certain results. Although most grass balls would jump into the mountain stream, the scattered flames still ignited some shrubs and grass on the sheep's intestine path. In front of the flames, even though they knew that rushing over might have a way out, most people subconsciously stopped and were unwilling to endure the pain of burning flames.

For a moment, the path that was already a little congested suddenly stopped and the soldiers squeezed into one place.

"Roar! Rush over!" Ma Chao shouted with a loud voice, urging the soldiers to run and not to get stuck in the road. Out of the corner of his eyes, a burning grass ball hit the mountain and smashed into the air!

At the critical moment of life and death, Ma Chao's many years of skills finally exploded. He thrust his spear and stabbed him and even picked the fireball away, avoiding his death immediately on the spot. However, the robes were ignited by the falling tiny flames.

Ma Chao, who had just crawled out of the gates of hell, pulled off his ignited outer robe, no longer cared about anything else, roared and said, "The person blocking the road died", then swung his spear and hit all the soldiers who were blocking the escape route down the mountain stream.

With the screams of soldiers falling, Han Sui, who was timid at the flames in front of him, finally shouted, and then waved his swords and guns regardless of the situation, trying to cut off the flames with such a move and rush forward!

"Shoot the arrow!"

Jia Xu made a loud order.

Like Han Sui and Ma Chao, Jia Xu naturally knew the terrain of Longxi well.

In Jia Xu's view, since the Meng family agreed to send troops, and Gan Feng led the cavalry and attacked by three parties, Han Sui and others would definitely be defeated. The only escape route for Han Sui and others was the Tietang Gorge Road, which was inconvenient for cavalry to walk.

It is very simple to reason that although the wooden doorway can connect with cavalry, Gan Feng led most of the cavalry in the Western Expedition and also went down from here. Han Sui and others were defeated, how could they compete with the cavalry in the Western Expedition?

Therefore, Jia Xu brought two hundred soldiers here, and really waited for Han Sui and Ma Chao's retreating troops.

Although most of the soldiers in the Western Expedition were riding bows, which were not as strong as the infantry long bows, they were still high and their range and lethality did not decrease much. In addition, due to the blockage of flames in the rear, Han Sui's soldiers were simply the best target. Suddenly, many people were shot, screaming and dying on the spot, or fell into the stream.

It has to be said that young people's physical strength and reaction ability are at their peak. Ma Chao drove the spear wheel, jumping forward and backward, and sometimes he would even use the spear to borrow you, stepping on the tilted mountain and tumbling forward, causing many arrows to shoot out. Even the rolling stones and slumbers that were smashed were dodged one by one. When he saw that he was about to escape, he suddenly heard a scream falling behind, "Meng Qi! Nephew! Save me, save me!"

After all, Han Sui is old and has been in the Western Liang for so many years. He is not as strong as the young people in terms of physical strength or endurance. In addition, he is also a soldier who is conquering the West, and even though his personal guards sacrifice their lives to protect him, he still struggles.

As the personal guards fell one by one, the protection net that covered Han Sui finally revealed a flaw!

An arrow penetrated the gap in the human wall and pierced Han Sui's thigh. Although the arrow shaft was stuck by the muscles, not much blood was gushing. An arrow shaft was stuck on the thigh. Every step he took was so painful that his whole body seemed to be about to spasm!

Seeing that there were not many guards left and he was injured by arrows, Han Sui naturally asked Ma Chao for help loudly...

Hearing Han Sui's call for help, Ma Chao subconsciously paused for a moment and turned around and looked back.

"Nephew! Nephew! Save me!"

Han Sui shouted while jumping forward with the help of his personal guards.

A rolling stone roared down, jumping and hitting the head of a fugitive soldier between Ma Chao and Han Sui!

The soldier's head was like a watermelon falling on the concrete ground, and it quickly flattened and exploded, and his brain and blood mixed together and splashed out!

The rolling stone that took away life fell into the mountain stream with satisfaction, while the headless corpse shook unwillingly twice before turning to the bottom.

Ma Chao couldn't help but pause.

"Nephew! Save, save me!"

Han Sui stretched out his hand and shouted.

Ma Chao turned his head and started to take a small pace at first, but he quickly accelerated his speed. He never looked at Han Sui again, and even used a long spear to dial the soldiers blocking the road and ran away all the way...

Han Sui looked at Ma Chao and disappeared on the mountain road in a blink of an eye. A sadness surged in his heart. Looking at the fewer and fewer guards around him, he sighed and said with difficulty: "...Surrender, surrender... shouted to the mountain, we... surrender..."

………………………………

After cleaning the battlefield, Fei Qian and his party turned north and pointed directly to the old village of Han Sui in Qishan. Originally, Han Sui was in the Qishan Mountains, on the north bank of the Western Han River, and some left-behind personnel were arranged. However, when he learned that Han Sui was defeated, Fei Qian came with his troops and did not dare to garrison and resist, so he fled one after another.

Fei Qian led his troops here and occupied Han Sui's original camp. After dispatching defense, he came to an end. The baggage falling behind would naturally be sent slowly, but the soldiers walking in front would also have to eat. At this moment, there was naturally nothing else, only a few sheep that the Qiang people had not had time to take away, and a large number of war horses that died on the battlefield...

A piece of raw horse meat without salt was used to roast, and the remaining bones were put directly in a clay pot or a cauldron to cook. For a time, many bonfires were formed on the north bank of the Western Han River, and the soldiers became busy.

To be honest, even if later generations carefully screened out varieties, if there is no seasoning for pig, beef and mutton, if there is no seasoning, it will be boiled with red meat in white water, and even some salt is pitifully small. When the blood foam sandwiched in the flesh fibers is simmered together with boiling water and floating on the surface, the strong smell of blood dissipates with the steam. Such a brutal and rough way of eating is enough to discourage most people.

Fortunately, at Feiqian, at least the soldiers can be asked to remove the blood foam when cooking, and then add some cinnamon twigs and pepper. Cinnamon twigs are common, but pepper was collected in Zhang Lu's government office after Feiqian captured Hanzhong. "It has the fragrance and the light of the country. It has the fragrance and the sweetness of the country, and Hu Kao's peace". It is of great value and can even be compared with gold.

Of course, adding some cinnamon twigs and peppercorns is naturally exclusive to Fei Qian and generals of the army. As for the rest of the soldiers, it is good to eat meat and hot soup. Nowadays, it is impossible to say that everyone is equal. Specialization is necessary. Fei Qian and Datou soldiers eat the same meal, and there is no problem with one or two meals. If they eat this every day, let alone the other generals, the soldiers will probably start to panic...

Does the generals in the Western Expedition have no family background? They eat the same food as us every day? Besides, if Fei Qian eats the same food as the big head soldiers every day, then where can the generals and counselors go?

However, during the march, due to the limited environment, there are no special places. Therefore, adding some seasonings when stewing has become a way for generals in the Han Dynasty to show their identity and status. Not only in the Han Dynasty, but also in the Qin Dynasty, soldiers with titles could share more sauces to serve...

In this way, in the current military, there is a balanced point like seasoning, which can not only reflect the class gap, but also not cause ordinary soldiers to think that Fei Qian and others are too extravagant. As for those soldiers who are used to poor, let alone horse meat, even rat meat is enjoyable.

Meng Shi brought 300 people, thirty or forty people were lost in the formation, and twenty people were left behind to clean up the aftermath. Therefore, there are only more than two hundred people now. Following Meng Shu, a bonfire was raised by the waters of the Western Han Dynasty, and a stolen meat was stewed with soup.

Although Meng Shu and Fei Qian met, it was not convenient to say anything on the battlefield, and Meng Shu represented not only his individual, but also he would not be able to explain it clearly for a while. Therefore, whether it was Meng Shu or Fei Qian, they were waiting for a while to find time to meet again and discuss in detail, so Meng Shu didn't speak much.

In addition to the Montessus, the leader of the Wu clan, Liu, also brought some Di people to Qishan with Fei Qian. Although this wall was about thanking Fei Qian for giving him a horse, he came to help, in fact, in Fei Qian's eyes, it seemed more like picking up cheap people. Anyway, although the Di people did not go into battle together, it was not polite to pick up the weapons and armor dropped by Han Sui's soldiers, and each of them was holding a large bundle...

Even the Shu himself changed into a piece of armor that he didn't know was peeled off from the body, with some damage and blood. However, the Shu seemed to be careless and even a little happy. Sometimes he couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

Meng Shu wore a two-stage armor and took off his arms. He did not wear a helmet or a leather hat. He exposed the bun tied up with a hairpin, put his sleeves on his shoulders, pressed the sword with his left hand, and chewed with a blood-colored thigh bone in his right hand.

Everyone sat around, hungry and had no interest in saying anything for a while. They all lowered their heads and pulled their flesh.

Horse meat has very hard fibers, which are harder than beef, and has less fat, so it is even tougher after baking. If you don’t have a good tooth, it will not taste so easy.

Compared to the roasted horse meat that is hard, broth with some seasonings is more popular. Neiwu Junchang has already drunk two bowls in a row and is still signaling to add soup...

Fei Qian sat on the stool and twisted his butt, which was a little uncomfortable. Because he was still wearing military uniforms and had a war skirt under his butt, he felt very uncomfortable with iron sheets, so he naturally didn't feel comfortable sitting, but at least it was much better than kneeling down.

I also had some drinks, but the amount was not large, so I only had one jar, and each person had two or three bowls, which was all the same.

After drinking a round of wine, I filled in some meat to the bottom, so I had the intention to put it outside the food. After all, the chief of the Wu clan was still a Di person, and his personality became more straightforward. He looked at Fei Qian and asked, "This... I dare to ask the general, will he march to Liangzhou?"

After the words came, everyone silently put down the food in their hands and gathered their eyes to Fei Qian.

This question is really rough.

But no wonder, after all, they are Di people.

"This time, it was not someone who entered Liangzhou, but someone who forced someone to force him." Fei Qian smiled indifferently and said, "... People must insult themselves, and then others insult them. This battle is not what someone wants."

The chief of the Neiwu clan nodded, perhaps because he didn't understand, or because he felt that Fei Qian's attitude was not clear, so he said again: "So, will the general be in war with the Xiliang tribes next?"

Fei Qian said, "If you are arrogant and unruly and harming local people, you will be responsible for the emperor's kindness, and you will be responsible for conquering the rebellion and fighting against the thieves and pacifying the local people. However, the tribes of Xiliang and guarding the territory and the border are still unchanged. Naturally, you cannot slaughter your colleagues based on your own selfish desires... The chief of the five inner clans wants to sue the tribes of Xiliang?"

Fei Qian said with a smile, picking up some words standing on a high place to say that it is just a bit of a mess anyway, no matter who it is, no matter who it is, you can't find any problem.

Although Li Ru did not show her face, her slow stroke of her beard obviously also showed some praise for Fei Qian's words.

Seeing that the Neiwu clan could not find anything, perhaps realizing the problem, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, stroked his chest and said, "No, no, I'm just curious... I'm rude, rude..."

Fei Qian smiled and didn't continue to say anything. The Xiliang tribes naturally had to do it, but the right way to defeat them was to break them one by one. That stupid guy will clearly show that the carriage and horses will publicly say that they would wipe out the Xiliang tribes, and then stimulate the Xiliang tribes to rise up and fight?

Of course, you have to put yourself high and then slowly find some flaws in it. How can soldiers withstand much consumption if they only know how to fight and kill blindly?

"Everyone! There are so many shortcomings in the military! When you are the supreme emperor, I will treat you well and reward you according to your merits! I will never stop drunk at that time!" Fei Qian raised his wine bowl and gave a bow, toasting everyone present.

Everyone also raised their bowls to respond.

The atmosphere was warm for a while.
