Chapter 169 Chapter 22

Chapter 169 No.20 Act Two

Tuya would never have imagined in her dreams that the solid walls of Garhai City had been breached by the enemy in less than three hours.She didn't know what method the other party used to destroy the city wall made of boulders in an instant, and she couldn't even tell whether it was a weapon or some kind of sorcery that broke the city.But right now, with no danger to defend, she could only order the herdsmen to quickly retreat to the inner city.

The bare-chested Woma warriors rushed up to the gap in the city wall first.The war horses are no longer of much use here, they all jumped off their horses and poured into the city brandishing their sabers.

"There are still women and children who haven't had time to retreat to the inner city!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.Tuya followed the voice, and saw that under the broken high wall in the city, more than a hundred women were holding their children, crying in the open space between the enemy army and the entrance of the inner city at a loss. Running, running away.In the face of the warriors of the Woma tribe who entered the city aggressively and the defenders of the Muyun tribe who were retreating in defeat, many women could only crouch on the spot with their flesh and blood in their arms.Even the children who lost their mothers were frightened and cried, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Follow me quickly to save people!"

Tuya knew that these women and children must have difficulty giving up the belongings they brought into the city, so they were left behind when they followed Wuren out of the city through the secret road.She suddenly regretted that she was too optimistic about the battle situation, and she failed to order the people to avoid Lancang Mountain earlier.

But it's too late to say anything now.The girl reached out and took off the dark brown hornbow from her back, and pulled the bowstring that had just been waxed with her hand—hunting was once her favorite thing to do with her father.Although Tuya has never touched the bow her father made for her since Tieqin passed away, but what is hidden deep in her memory is the superb archery skills that can rival any outstanding warrior on the grassland. Never forget.

After raising her arms and shouting, the girl bent her bow and set her arrows, and took the lead in rushing down the city.Seeing this, the men of the Muyun tribe who were already in chaos around her cheered up again, turned their swords, guns and bows one after another, and launched a counterattack against the enemy with their lives.The two crowds collided fiercely in front of the gap, swords and soldiers intersected, and blood spattered.

Fortunately, although the gap is wide, it can only accommodate seven or eight people fighting side by side.The defenders were so envious, many men were still waving their weapons vigorously even though they were stabbed several times, and refused to retreat half a step.The encounter between the two sides quickly turned into a war of attrition.The samurai in the front row had just been cut down, and the people in the back immediately went up again.The corpses and severed limbs gradually piled up a hill of human flesh in front of the gap, and the hard frozen soil was also soaked in blood. A little bit of stepping on it would cause a stream of red slurry, making it difficult to stand.

Tuya led more than a hundred archers, shooting arrows one after another to attack the chests of the enemies in the city.However, the warriors of the Woma tribe, who were as fierce as wild beasts, still came in an endless stream.With the passage of time, the enemy army finally captured the commanding heights of the corpse mountain, and completely broke the fragile balance between the two forces.After killing the herdsmen who were desperately resisting at the gap, thousands of enemy troops quickly captured an open space under the city wall, and it was difficult to drive them out.

A warrior from the Woma tribe with ferocious battle patterns painted on his face with red and white paint brandished a saber in his hand, and charged directly in front of Tuya, forcing the girl to move her weakened hand towards Tuya again. He probed behind him, but found nothing.Only then did she realize that there was no arrow left in the quiver on her back!

Tuya only felt that her mind was blank, but she was suddenly caught by a corpse at her feet, and she fell back and sat down.But at the moment when the sword in the opposite warrior's hand was slashing in the air, a defender of the Muyun Division suddenly came out from the oblique stab, swung his sword and chopped off the opponent's head, and was immediately rushed forward by another The warriors from the Woma tribe fell to the ground.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.The girl could even clearly see the blood dripping from the wound, and she could also clearly see the bloodshot and pain in the dead man's eyes before he died.She just felt that every breath she took became extremely difficult, as if everything around her was being swallowed and drenched by death and blood, and she could no longer escape.

The morale of the defenders of the Muyun Department gradually declined, and finally a major rout occurred, and it was impossible to organize an effective defense.Tuya, who was almost collapsed, sat paralyzed in a pool of blood, knowing that she might really be doomed.She turned her head with difficulty, and saw from a distance that more than a hundred women and children had successfully escaped into the inner city, but there was a smile on her face.

The girl's hand on the ground was already soaked in blood, and her fingertips vaguely touched something hard.She realized that it might be a sharp blade that had lost its owner, and she immediately took it back in her hand.Immediately afterwards, she stood up straight with all her might, raised her saber to the level of her eyebrows, and went against the retreating direction of the defenders, and rushed towards the hundreds of enemies who had killed into the city alone!

However, it is impossible for a thin and frail girl to be a match for a strong and healthy warrior of Shodi.After only one confrontation, the knife in Tuya's hand was knocked out.But she didn't even have the strength to pick up the weapon again, so she had to cross her arms in front of her body, trying to support her already crumbling body, trying not to let herself lose the last ounce of dignity of the Bakwuqin family.

The knife in the hands of the Wuma tribe warriors on the opposite side did not continue to cut off the girl's arms, let alone cut into her body, cutting flesh and tendons.I only heard that in the Muhe formation outside the city, for some reason, the horn to order the withdrawal of troops was blown three times in a row.The voice sounded very urgent, as if some terrible accident had happened, and all the troops on the front line had to be dispatched to help.

The thousands of Woma warriors who had just entered the city of Garhai all withdrew in a blink of an eye. Even if some of them hesitated for a moment, they were quickly dragged away by fellow robes passing by on the left and right.

Tuya, who was lucky enough to escape with her life, couldn't believe what she saw, and she froze for a while before she came back to her senses.She looked at the herdsmen beside her who had also recovered a life from before the gate of hell, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and climbed up to the mountain of corpses in front of her that was already as high as a person——

The enemy army outside the city, like the sea at low tide, quickly receded towards the camp, and everyone's faces showed extreme puzzlement and fear.However, on the other side of this almost invisible crowd, the warriors of the Chuoluo tribe who were in charge of the rear of the palace threw away their helmets and armor, broke into an army, and retreated towards the city wall of Garhai instead.

This weird scene made the Woma tribe warriors who had just withdrawn from the city even more nervous.They turned the weapons in their hands in the direction one after another, and formed a temporary line of defense on the spot.Tuya stood on the top of the mountain of corpses and looked up into the distance, vaguely seeing a huge army of tens of thousands of horses under the distant horizon.Right now, that army is advancing step by step, quickly encroaching on the large formation of the coalition forces under Mu He's command.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and Tuya clearly saw that what was erected in the opponent's formation was actually a standard flag raised to the court.And what was painted on the flag was a pair of symmetrical horse heads that I was very familiar with!
Tears welled up from the girl's eyes in an instant, and she finally understood where the old general Yuan Ti, who arranged for Yan to leave the camp in a hurry, had gone - it turned out that the reinforcements did not come from her imagination, let alone to comfort the tribe It's empty talk, but it's real, Saxueqi from his mother's hometown Yubei!

Yubei guards the northern border of the Dasheng Dynasty all the year round. Due to the Shuodi Rebellion more than a hundred years ago, Yubei Gong Zuoqiu Qixian, who returned home after a disastrous defeat, made up his mind to abandon the infantry phalanx that has been in use for thousands of years, and began to learn from the Di people. The art of horse warfare.

Just learning the lesson of Tie Chongshan's defeat in the front of the Queyue formation, Zuoqiu Qixian completely abandoned heavy armor and heavy cavalry, and instead pursued long-range riding and spear stabbing on light armor and fast horses.With his full support, Saxue cavalry quickly formed an army in just 30 years, and gradually expanded into a huge cavalry army of [-] people.

Yubei spared no expense, and specially selected the strongest pure white Shuobei horses to feed and grow up, and then dried white rhinoceros hides to make armor pieces, which were hung on the horse's body and the rider's vital points.This set of leather armor is both light and tough, and it is difficult for ordinary arrows to penetrate.Galloping at full speed driven by the strong Shuobei horse, it is more than twice as fast as the ordinary cavalry!
Due to its astonishing speed, Zuoqiu Qixian specially named this cavalryman Saxue, which he built with all his heart and soul, like a wind and snow blowing through the world.Now, a hundred years later, although Sa Xueqi's name is not as resounding as that of Tie Chongshan back then, it has already become a terrifying force that cannot be underestimated on the Shuobei grassland!
Right now, Sa Xue is riding on the grassland, and every horse seems to be almost the same height.The snow-white leather armor on the horses and knights, on the cloudy Gobi, looks extraordinarily eye-catching like bright pearls.The spotless white color even more reveals the close family relationship between the king of Yubei and the emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty.

And Mu He, who had withdrawn from the camp in a panic, could already see Yubei's handsome flag from a distance.He stared angrily, and the beard on his face stood up:

"The archers stepped forward and fired a volley, so that these Yubei bastards who specialize in sneak attacks will never return!"

However, only a few people in the army behind him carried out the order.Although Muhe's coalition army has a large number of people, facing Sa Xueqi's neat military appearance, their momentum has already weakened by half.In the panic, many Wuma tribe warriors also collided with the fleeing Chuoluo tribe soldiers, and then joined the fleeing army, with no fighting spirit.

Muhe in the formation ordered people to continue blowing the trumpet to order Qihe to return immediately, and roared angrily: "Don't retreat! Those who retreat before the battle will be killed without mercy!"

But the defeat had already been revealed, and even many high-ranking generals among the army originally used to besiege the city were ready to move.Even if deserters were to be killed, who should do it?Even if someone executes it, how can it be possible to kill the tens of thousands of people who fled the battle?

However, the Yubei army behind them did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them.I saw a passage suddenly opened in front of the formation, and an old man with white beard and hair came forward on a horse under the commander's flag, and loudly persuaded him to surrender, it was Yuan Ti himself.

Seeing this, Muhe was furious, pointed at the other person's nose and cursed loudly:
"Old man Yuanti, why do you meddle in the affairs of the prairie every time you are from the north? During the years you have been in Yanluoyuan, my Muyun department has never treated you badly. Today, you have attracted elites from the south to enter the country. Fighting, this move is no different from that of a villain!"

"It is the Bakwuqin family who are in favor of me. It is the former Tieqinhan and Mrs. Kezun, not you Muhe. Half of the blood of Yubei people is flowing on Princess Tuya. If it is difficult for her today, it is the same I am the enemy against the north! Our military strength is several times that of yours right now, if you lay down your weapons, you can still let the past go and let you not die. But if you refuse to repent, there will only be a dead end!"

As the old general spoke, he waved his hand, and immediately heard Sa Xueqi shouting in unison behind him, all raising their spears high, ready to charge again.

Seeing this situation, many warriors in Shuo Di's formation who had finally regrouped completely dropped their sabers and longbows and scattered away.Mu He's complexion changed, but it was too late to stop him:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Now these Yubei army horses in front are obviously less than half of our troops! The opponent is just one head and two hands. As long as we press with all our strength, there is absolutely no possibility of defeat!"

Yuan Ti didn't want to give him any chance to maneuver, and continued to persuade him to surrender loudly:

"This time, the two tribes of Chuoro and Wuma are dispatched in full force, with a total of 16 people. At present, the more than [-] people of the Chuoluo tribe have been completely defeated by our side, and their leader Mengdun has also surrendered. Ruowo The horse department still refuses to surrender, and Sa Xueqi will not mind stopping by to visit Shi Jinghai's pasture for a few days. If anyone among you is confident that he can outrun Yubei's war horse, you can give it a try!"

Although the old general has white beard and hair, he speaks with full of spirit.His voice quickly spread in the wilderness, drifted to the sky above Garhai City, and also drifted into the ears of all the warriors of Shodi who were still standing under the banner of Leopard Head and Canglang.Under his instruction, someone in Saxue Cavalry even brought the rebellious Meng Dun to the front of the battle!

No one thought that in just a few days, Yuan Ti had a clear grasp of all the movements of Muhe's coalition forces.His threats also completely crushed the last trace of morale of the prairie people.The Wuma tribe warriors who had assembled following the sound of the horn immediately fell into even greater chaos.

Haohao Tangtang's tens of thousands of troops quickly broke away from the main force, and no longer obeyed Muhe's orders.In other words, the Woma warriors, who were the main force, decided not to hit stones with pebbles, but to wager their parents and relatives, and declare war on the Imperial Army.Even their leader Qi Hezhen no longer stood in front of the battle, but personally led the warriors under his command into several columns and retreated to the outside of the battlefield.

In just one stick of incense, the tens of thousands of coalition forces have already lost nearly [-]% of their personnel.On the current battlefield, there are only more than ten thousand loyalists standing under the banner of Canglang, still holding the weapons in their hands tightly, planning to advance and retreat with the leader.

Muhe never expected that the battle he had carefully planned for many years would end in such an ironic way.He let out a snarl, but he became more and more angry. Regardless of the injury on his shoulder, he pulled out the saber hanging on his waist with a "swish":

"Blood feud is irreconcilable! Either you die today, or I die!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw his legs clamped, and he beat his horse and charged straight towards Saxue's cavalry.The remaining thousands of loyal guards holding the Canglang flag high behind him also followed closely behind the old man and killed them.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.For the first time in the past few days, sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the clouds, shining on the Gobi at the foot of Lancang Mountain, and also illuminating the snow-white armor on Sa Xueqi.In the sunlight pouring down like golden dust, Sa Xueqi, who seemed like a soldier descending from heaven, also followed behind Yuan Ti and launched the final charge.

It was as if a holy spring poured onto the battlefield, and the superior force several times that of the opponent immediately surrounded Mu Hyuk and all the warriors under his command.When swords and soldiers meet, shout and kill!

 The starting point is not the starting point, and the whole book is free.
