Chapter 218 Raw Meat
Although Liang Xiao could not understand the Hunnu words, he could roughly guess what King Hunxie meant. He cursed contemptuously: "Idiot"
It has reached this point, can we still negotiate? If you can let me go, I can't let you go. After so much effort, I'm tempted to lure you to the mountain. I'm not talking about the mountains with you.
“What’s the situation?”
Guo Wenbin showed his head from the edge of the cliff and said loudly: "It's a stream with a lot of water. I don't know how deep it is, I'm afraid I can't get through it."
"That's all, fight with them." Liang Xiao gritted his teeth, paused, and said, "Can you get some water? You're so thirsty."
"No problem, I'll find a way."
Liang Xiao turned around and waved his hand at Tu Niuer. "Kill the horse."
"Really kill?" Tu Niuer hesitated. The moon is a rare good horse in the Western Regions. There are so many war horses, only it can hold on until the end. Even if it is seriously lost, as long as it is well maintained, it can still recover. It would be a pity to kill it.
"We need a bunker, and even more so." Although Liang Xiao couldn't bear it, he had to make a decision and seemed confident. "I'll be in Dayuan soon. What's so good about it, but I still care about these things? You're so petty."
Everyone laughed. Although they were surrounded by the Huns in a desperate situation, this was exactly what Liang Xiao hoped in advance, so they were not nervous at all, but were a little excited. A few people ran thousands of miles on the grassland and threw thousands of elite Huns behind their butts. They already had the capital to brag. If they could still cut off the head of King Hun Xie, even if they died here in battle, they would be able to make enough money in their lives.
Of course, it’s better to go out alive. We’ll arrive in Dayuan soon. There are countless beauties, wine and BMW waiting for them. These are their favorites. They have arrived at the door, so how can we not take a look?
For this goal, what is a good horse?
Tu Niuer said nothing. He went forward to hug Yueliang's neck and stabbed it in with a knife. The sword that snatched the Gulu Fox was indeed extremely sharp, and it cut off Yueliang's neck in a row. Yueliang's limbs trembled twice, then slowly fell down, and two crystal tears flowed out of its beautiful big eyes.
Liang Xiao asked Tu Niuer to remove four horse legs and cut off a large piece of meat. He cut it into small pieces with a short knife, and each person divided it into one piece.
"Eat raw?" Li Shuyun frowned.
"Why don't you wait for me to chew it and spit it out for you?" Xie Guanglong laughed and threw the bloody raw horse meat into his mouth, and praised: "It's indeed a good horse in the Western Regions. The meat is much better."
"It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise wine and horse meat would be very good." Guo Wu said, stuffing the horse meat into his mouth and swallowing it in a few bites. He was still unsatisfied. "Niu'er, let's have another piece."
Tu Niuer cut another piece for him. Seeing him and Xie Guanglong eating with relish, he looked at the piece in his hand and frowned.
"Eat quickly." Xie Guanglong shouted: "If you don't eat, give it to me. Don't waste it. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength. If you don't have the strength. How can you kill people? If you don't kill people, how can you reach Dayuan alive? If you don't arrive..."
"Okay, shut up." Tu Niuer gritted his teeth, stuffed the raw horse meat into his mouth, chewed it twice. He stretched his neck and swallowed it.
Seeing his uncomfortable look, Xie Guanglong laughed proudly, and then made fun of Pang Shuo. I have to say that among this group of people, the one with the most experience in survival on the grassland is him and Guo Wu, and Liang Xiao and others have never had similar experiences. Liang Xiao had eaten sashimi, but this was the first time he had raw horse meat.
Liang Xiao cut off a small piece of horse meat with blood and stuffed it into his mouth. The horse meat was soft and had a strong smell of blood. After a bite, the blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. Liang Xiao almost vomited it out, but he still held it back. As Xie Guanglong said, if he didn't eat it, he would have no strength and they would die here.
In order to survive, he must eat even human meat, not to mention fresh horse meat.
He could not show his fear in front of these people, otherwise he would not only not be able to command them smoothly, but he might even be in danger of his life.
"The first bite is difficult, the second bite is easy, and the more you eat it, the more you eat it, the more you taste it." Xie Guanglong squeezed into the front, cut one of it himself, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a few seconds, and swallowed it, which looked like a big meal. "Actually, it's nothing, I've eaten all human flesh..."
"Vomit" Pang Shuo couldn't help it, ran to the side and vomited.
Xie Guanglong laughed. Li Shuyun and others have always looked down on him and Guo Wu. Even Pang Shuo, who was most acquainted with him, sometimes unconsciously reveals the superiority of mainlanders. Now seeing these mainlanders being scared by raw horse meat and not talking in, Xie Guanglong is very happy and speaks loudly, showing his passion.
Liang Xiao, like Pang Shuo, also had a strong vomiting. However, he was mentally prepared. It can be said that he had such mentally prepared since the day he embarked on the westbound journey. The reason why he tried hard to bring the moon to the mountain was to serve as food rations at critical moments.
He pressed his surging stomach, swallowed the horse meat, and then gasped.
"Sir, how about it?" Xie Guanglong said with a wink and said, "Does it taste good?"
"It's really good." Liang Xiao said viciously: "I'll do another one."
Xie Guanglong was stunned and smiled embarrassedly: "Sir, take it seriously?"
Liang Xiao ignored him, snatched a short knife from Tu Niuer's hand, cut it off, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and chewed it fiercely. When everyone saw it, they were shocked. Li Shuyun looked at the horse meat in his hand, gritted his teeth, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it hard.
"Haha, as you said, the first bite is harder, the second bite is much easier." Liang Xiao swallowed the horse meat, laughed loudly, cut off a piece again, and threw it into his mouth.
Under his guidance, everyone ate a few pieces of raw horse meat.
The Huns in the distance looked at each other and looked at each other. The barbarity of these Han people was beyond their imagination. Even the people on the grassland may not have such experience in eating raw meat. If they are less than that, who can eat raw meat?
While surprised, King Hunxie felt that he was invincible. If it weren't for the dead end, would a Central Plains man like Liang Xiao eat raw horse meat?
He exhorted him a few more words and said a few more words, but when he saw Liang Xiao ignored him, he immediately ordered the attack.
The Huns surrounded each other from different directions, looked for positions, fired with all their might, covering their attacks. For a moment, the arrow fell like rain, cutting through the night wind, and passing through Liang Xiao and others' ears.
Liang Xiao asked everyone to rely on the dead horse as a support to form a semicircular formation, and Pang Shuo and Xie Guanglong held a shield in his hand and guarded one side. Li Shuyun and Guo Wu stood behind them and shot with all their might. He continued to shoot under the protection of Tu Niuer.
The Huns' arrows kept flying, some flew over their heads, some shot on their shields, and some shot on horses. Tu Niuer kept pulling arrows from the horses and handed them to Liang Xiao, who put them on the string and shot them out.
For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.
Although Liang Xiao and others had no way to retreat, they could only defend to the death. It was not easy for the Huns to attack. Although they were large in numbers, they could not spread out due to the limitations of the terrain. There were only a few people who could face Liang Xiaoxiao and others. Even if they avoided the arrows of Liang Xiaoxiao and others and rushed to the front of the formation, it would be difficult for them to withstand the attacks of Pang Shuo and Xie Guanglong. They were killed one after another in front of the formation.
For half an hour, the Huns threw down thirty or forty corpses, but still failed to move forward.
King Hunxie hesitated. After most of the day of fighting, although he forced Liang Xiao to the dead end, he suffered heavy casualties. Now there are less than twenty people who can really fight, and if he wants to break through Liang Xiao's position, it seems that there is no hope at all.
Otherwise... let's wait. Many fallen subordinates are coming, and it's not too late to attack when they come. Anyway, Liang Xiao and the others have no way to escape. The only thing they can eat is this horse. After eating this horse, what else can he eat?
King Hunxie ordered to take back thirty steps. Everyone found a place to hide it so as not to be attacked by the cold arrows of Liang Xiao and others.
Seeing the Huns retreat, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Big Hu, thank you, how are you resting?"
"I've had a good rest early. I feel itchy when you take action." Xie Guanglong smacked his lips exaggeratedly. "Raw meat is full of energy, and his mouth is full of fragrance."
Pang Shuo couldn't help but retching again.
Liang Xiao smiled. Although Xie Guanglong is rude, a rough man has the benefits of a rough man and is very nervous. No matter what the situation is, he can face it with an indifferent attitude, which can play a role in ease the atmosphere.
After fighting with the Huns for more than half an hour, the main reason was that the three of them blocked the attack. Pang Shuo, Xie Guanglong and Tu Niuer basically did not put in any effort, just to let them have a good rest and prepare for the next counterattack.
He has been paying attention to the number of the Huns. According to his estimate, there are only thirty people around Hunxie King now, and some of them have been injured. More importantly, their morale has been severely frustrated and is almost at the verge of collapse.
The time for a counterattack is ripe.
"Niu'er, help me unarm." Liang Xiao put down his bow and took off his helmet. Two maggots crawled out of his hair and climbed down his forehead, but he had no strength to brush it down. His arms were shaking, his fingers were bleeding, and he almost lost consciousness. At this time, every little strength was precious, and he couldn't bear to waste it on these two maggots.
Tu Niuer walked over and helped Liang Xiao take off his armor. In front of everyone, Liang Xiao adjusted his breathing, waved his arms, and began to relax.
The sunset gradually set, dyeing half of the sky blood-red. Against the backdrop of this blood-red sky, Liang Xiao slowly stretched out his body. Although even if he moved his fingers, he would be so painful, he still practiced the bow-pulling movement with no harshness. Every time he freezes, it was like an iron statue.
Cold sweat soaked his hair, soaked his robe, melted the blood on his face, and meandered.
King Hun Xie looked at the black figure from afar and looked at his bow-raising posture. Although he knew that he had no bow in his hand, he still shivered involuntarily. He knew that Liang Xiao had shot the arrow for a long time and must have been extremely tired. He really wanted to take the opportunity to attack him, but he had no confidence at all.
He had an ominous feeling.
He wanted to leave. However, when his eyes turned aside and saw his son poking his head on the Han Festival, he couldn't help but blame himself. Although the head had rotten, he felt that his son's eyes were staring at him, with his eyes running, and asked him to take him home.
"Good boy, wait a little longer." King Hunxie gritted his teeth and became nervous.
A whole hour later, when the sunset completely fell on the horizon and the sky and the earth was pitch black, Liang Xiao was finally ready, and the familiar heat flowed all over his body. He put on his iron armor again, put on his helmet, picked up the bow, and said softly:
"Brothers, go kill someone."
