Xia He left and came back, emitting a terrifying evil aura from his whole body.
In just a few short breaths, Feng Qiang died tragically in the freezing cold snow, and his blood dyed the pure white snow red.
The horses nearby were frightened and started neighing and twisting their bodies wildly.
The other person who was riding with Feng Qiang was so frightened by the sudden scene that he fell off the horse and landed heavily on the ground.
"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life!"
Xia He glanced at him coldly:
"Follow my previous instructions, inform the others immediately about this matter, without any delay! Otherwise, your fate will be exactly the same as his!"
"I obey your command!"
After hearing these words, the man was so frightened that he had no idea of resisting or escaping.
He didn't even dare to look at Feng Qiang's horrible body again. He stood up hurriedly and tried his best to calm the frightened horse.
Like a frightened rabbit, he ran away desperately.
On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly and there is no room for mercy.
The most drastic and violent measures must be taken to quickly control the situation.
As for Feng Qiang, Xia He had wanted to kill him for a long time, but he was worried about not being able to find an excuse, and then this guy offered himself to him. What a good guy!
With Baimei watching from the air, how could these people escape? I'm afraid it's unlikely.
…
…
A huge hole suddenly appeared on the river surface that was originally frozen as hard as steel.
Next to the hole, a simple tent stood quietly.
Outside the tent, a blazing bonfire was flickering with flames. Several people were sitting around the fire, skillfully cooking the fragrant beef and mutton.
On the other side, there were some people busy shuttling among the horses, carefully cleaning their bodies and delivering fresh grass to each horse's mouth.
At the same time, on a high slope not far away, Xia He led his assembled men and quietly lay down.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, closely watching every move of the group of people in front of him.
"A barbarian scout?"
The appearance of the barbarians is very different from that of the people of the Qin Dynasty, so they are easy to recognize.
Scouts are called "White Crows" and usually consist of 8 to 20 people.
Judging from the actions of this group of people, they don't seem to plan to stay here for a long time.
Seeing how relaxed they were, they probably didn't expect that the Qin Dynasty would send people out of the Great Wall for inspection this year?
After all, once these barbarians ride on their war horses, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
Especially in this vast and flat grassland area, if the Qin soldiers encountered them, they would often be at a clear disadvantage.
It was for this reason that a huge amount of manpower and resources were spent on building the magnificent Great Wall to resist the invasion of northern barbarians.
"Eight people, but sixteen horses?"
The grassland area has always been rich in fine horses. The barbarians own so many horses, not only to show their strong strength, but also to allow each horse to get enough rest, thereby reducing the burden on the horses and extending their service life.
Xia He was very jealous.
Not all horses can be used as war horses. They must be strong and brave.
The horses of the barbarians are different from those of the Qin Dynasty. They include Ili horses, Hequ horses, and Sanhe horses.
Among them, the Ili horse is tall and well-proportioned, a typical light riding horse, and most of the barbarian scouts are equipped with such horses.
"Brother He, if we can grab it, won't we have the horse?"
In addition to Feng Qiang, there were two other people who couldn't stand the weather and the intensity of patrolling and took sick notice. Including Xia He, there were seven people left.
Sixteen horses...enough for everyone to have one with some left over.
But no matter how jealous they are, how can they grab it?
"You must be joking... these barbarian scouts are not to be trifled with."
Barbarian scouts are not as weak as imagined and are not only capable of reconnaissance. On the contrary, they have comprehensive combat capabilities and are generally very proficient in horse riding and archery.
Xia He took another glance and soon saw that the barbarians were not wearing any armor, only animal skins around their waists.
There are clear levels of White Crows, including 'leather', 'cloth' and 'skin'. The highest level White Crows can be covered with light leather armor, while the next level is cloth armor. If you have just joined the camp, you will be wearing this kind of animal skin.
"It's not the most powerful white crow, there are some to grab."
If this is the case, then the highest strength of this group of people is probably only at the blood refining level.
Normally, a charge from a squad of ten elite cavalrymen would be enough to destroy them.
However, Xia He only had seven people on his side at the moment, and the horses they were riding were old horses. It was difficult for them to even travel, let alone charge.
It was obviously not feasible to launch a direct charge, but that didn't mean there was no way to deal with it.
Moreover, if we rashly shoot out warning arrows at this moment, these guys acting as scouts will surely turn around and flee without hesitation, which would be a waste of time and effort.
"I can't let my good horse run away."
At this time, Xia He already had a plan in mind. He glanced at everyone and asked:
"Everyone, is there anyone willing to go and act as bait?"
Erpang was the first to volunteer but Xia He held him back because this team had just been formed and if these people were not up to the task, he would not keep them around.
Even a mob needs training.
Some hesitated, some were afraid.
