Chapter 114 Battle in the Wilderness

"Beidi soldiers are coming, everyone quickly hide in the underground tunnel."

Tao'an Village entrance.

The villagers responsible for keeping track immediately went door to door to inform the Beidi cavalry when they saw them.

Other villagers heard the news and spread out to inform more people.

They are quite skilled with this procedure.

Not only because they had been trained, but they had already beaten Beidi scouts twice who tried to rob the village.

In a short time, villagers entered the village's underground network through tunnels dug at their homes.

Women, children and the elderly are concentrated in the most spacious temporary residence in the underground tunnel.

All men over the age of fourteen were staring at the authentic observation port.

Not long after, they saw a group of Beidi cavalry entering the village.

"There are eighty-six people in total." Some villagers counted the number of people and came to tell the chief.

"Huh, that's just a few people, don't be afraid, just give me a beating!" the security guard ordered.

After saying yes, more than 300 rural soldiers went to their own combat positions.

"Why is there no one?"

At the well in the village, Kutu looked confused.

"Impossible, someone ran over just now." The guard general said.

While the two were talking, a guard soldier became thirsty and threw a bucket from the well down to get water.

While carrying water, he suddenly saw half of a man leaning out from the well wall.

The man pointed at him with a crossbow in his hand.

"Whoosh!" Before he could react, an arrow hit his arm.

"Someone, someone!" the Guardsman shouted.

Kutu broke into a cold sweat and looked down the well, but there was nothing.

But the soldier's wounded arm was real.

"No, there is someone in the village, search it for me!" Kutu was furious.

After receiving his order, the Guard soldiers immediately dispersed and searched.

Three Beidi soldiers broke into a courtyard.

One person searched the firewood shed, another person searched the main hall, and another person searched the side room.

The Beidi soldiers who arrived at the woodshed looked around and went out when they saw nothing.

At this time, suddenly the thatch pile in the house "sizzled" for a while.

He turned around and saw two villagers standing up from the haystack. One of them stabbed him with an iron fork in his hand.

Hit him right in the eye.

"Ah!" the Beidi soldier screamed, and then he felt a heavy object hit his head, and he fainted immediately.

The two villagers looked at each other, immediately lifted the pot on the stove, went down the passage under the pot, and put the pot back in its place.

Two other Beidi soldiers arrived and saw their companion lying in a pool of blood, but there was nothing in the woodshed.

The two of them suddenly felt scared.

At the same time, Beidi soldiers in other parts of the village were not having a good time either.

When they pushed open the door, they might have had their faces splashed with feces from the feces basin placed on the door.

Or he was stabbed by a rural soldier who came out of nowhere.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Beidi soldiers ran back in confusion as if they had seen a ghost.

Of the eighty-six, only forty-two remained.

"Your Majesty, leave quickly, something is wrong here, we are suffering heavy casualties." The guard general said, his calf was injured.

As he passed a millstone, a spear suddenly protruded from the millstone and stabbed him.

When Kutu heard this and saw the miserable state of the soldiers, his face turned pale.

"kill!"

At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from everywhere in the village.

Hundreds of villagers rushed out from everywhere, more than ten of them wearing armor, but most of them were carrying various weapons, including sticks and forks.

"Let's go!" Kutu was shocked and immediately mounted his horse.

Other guardsmen also mounted their horses and fled out of the village.

I'm afraid they can't stop these hundreds of villagers with just a few people.

"Who is this King Yan?" As he got further away from the village, Kutu looked to the south, his heart full of pain.

Although King Yan is his mortal enemy, he has to admire this King Yan's ability.

These people of Yan County completely became King Yan's spies and soldiers. King Yan's army was as fragile as tigers and wolves.

The appearance of the people in the village made him seem to be trapped in the vast ocean of the entire Yan County war, with no end in sight.

Looking up at the sky, Kutu sighed. He was afraid that letting Tam and Chalhal come to Yanjun would be another mistake.

"Tam."

"Charha."

In the north of Wu'an County, on the road leading to Qingfengkou, two cavalrymen met.

They were the armies led by Tam and Charha.

"Is there any news about the king?" Tam asked urgently.

After receiving the news of Yancheng's defeat, he abandoned the looted supplies, killed all the slaves who were originally going to be taken to the grassland, and came lightly.

"No, the last news is in Wu'an County. If the king escapes from Yan County, he will definitely bring us a message. Now you and I haven't gotten it, so the king is probably still in Yan County, maybe in Wu'an County." He Looking south.

Tam nodded, "We must not let the king fall into the hands of King Yan. This will be a shame for our Black Iron King's tent. Let's go to Wu'an County."

Charha nodded and asked the soldiers to blow the horn. One person should go south first.

The Beidi cavalry moved again, their horses' hooves kicking up dust on the ground.

It was like a moving dust storm rushing towards Wu'an County.

Wu'an County.

Lu Chang stood on the city wall and looked out. Every time he came back from the inspection, he was extremely nervous.

"Have you not found any trace of Kutu yet?" Lu Chang asked.

The scouting cavalry shook his head.

Lu Chang patted his head. The news of Yancheng's great victory in the battle had already reached here along with the cavalry from Yancheng.

This made the soldiers guarding Wu'an County happy and jealous.

Naturally, he was happy that His Highness King Yan defeated the Beidi people.

What I am jealous of is that I did not personally participate in this war.

But he got the exact news, and Kutu led the remaining soldiers here.

This is equivalent to a military award delivered to his door. It would be a pity if he couldn't get it.

It's just that the cavalry moved too fast, and just as they caught up, they ran away again.

However, he believed that as long as the roundup continued, Kutu would not be able to escape.

Although horses can run fast, they have poor endurance.

Often you need to rest for a while after running for a while, otherwise you will be exhausted.

Moreover, there is no natural pasture in Yan County.

It was impossible for Kutu to carry any luggage with him when he fled.

It won't be long before they are outnumbered.

Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier came from the north gate.

"Sir, it's bad, there are a large number of cavalry coming from the north."

When Lu Chang heard this, he immediately looked to the north of the city. Sure enough, there were many cavalry galloping over.

That's Beidi Cavalry.

Moreover, these cavalrymen were numerous and must have come to rescue Kutu.

"Oops, we can't hold the intersection anymore." Lu Chang was a little worried. ‘

Off the road, an army can easily get lost.

Therefore, we often have to follow the road during war.

Now that the Beidi Army has arrived, a battalion of soldiers at the intersection cannot stop them.

However, these cavalry seemed to be just passing by and had no intention of besieging Wu'an County.

After crossing the city, they divided into several cavalry and went along different roads.

Lu Chang took a look and was even more sure that they were rescuing Kutu.

"Leave two thousand people in the city, and the rest will follow me out of the city." Lu Chang hesitated and made his decision.

Yan County belongs to the people of Yan County. How can we let Beidi come and leave whenever he wants?

What's more, this proves that Kutu is still in Wu'an County, so he cannot escape easily.

Previously, four thousand people had guarded the road and chased Kutu.

There are now four thousand people left in the city. Except for more than twenty cavalry responsible for reconnaissance, the rest are all infantry.

After gathering the soldiers, he immediately led his troops out of the city and chased in the direction of the Beidi cavalry.

He did not expect to defeat these cavalry, even if he could hold them back for a while.

As soon as the Wu'an County army left the city, they were immediately discovered by the Beidi cavalry.

When Zha Erha got the news, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He said to Tam: "These soldiers of King Yan are really arrogant. You lead the troops and continue to find the king. I will kill them without leaving a trace."

"Zhalha, the most important thing now is the king. Don't be reckless. The king was defeated in Yan City. These soldiers of the King of Yan must have some skills."

Charha ignored Tam's persuasion. For him, these Yan King soldiers who came out of the city were provoking him.

He must give these soldiers some color.

It only took him half an hour to defeat these soldiers.

Thinking of this, he ordered his men to turn back.

When Tam saw Charha leaving, he shook his riding whip angrily and continued heading south.

Outside the gate of Wu'an County.

As soon as the Beidi cavalry turned around, Lu Chang immediately ordered the soldiers to form a formation.

The two thousand soldiers immediately transformed into four square formations.

In each square formation, spear soldiers are surrounded by spear soldiers on the outside. There are three layers in the front, middle and back.

Behind the spearmen were three rows of crossbowmen, who cocked their arrows and aimed them at the galloping cavalry.

The sword and shield bearers are behind the crossbowmen. Once they encounter an enemy, they will rush to the front to clear out the remaining enemies.

There are four square formations, with five or six meters between each square formation.

Once the enemy is surrounded, they can attack from all four directions.

This phalanx was devised by King Yan and General Chang after they were equipped with pulley crossbows.

It is said to be specially used to deal with cavalry in the wilderness.

"Whizzing……"

The Chalha cavalry rushed over, and rounds of arrows flew towards the royal soldiers.

The soldiers of the royal palace remained motionless, and the arrows struck their armors with a clanging sound.

These soldiers all wore plate armor and were tightly protected.

"Whoosh..." After a round of bows and arrows, there was another round of bows and arrows. At this time, the cavalry were getting closer and closer.

But the royal soldiers in the formation still did not fire their arrows.

They wanted to put the Beidi soldiers at a very close distance and then fight them.

These can cause them the greatest casualties.

Charha commanded the battle from behind.

After two rounds of bows and arrows went down, the formation of King Yan's soldiers was not disordered at all, and there were no heavy casualties among the soldiers as he had foreseen.

He felt a little uneasy.

But at this time, the cavalry had already rushed to the front of King Yan's army.

Some soldiers even passed through the gaps in the military formation and went around to the back.

"Fire the arrow!" At this moment, Lu Chang, who was in the center of the military formation, shouted loudly.

"Whoosh whoosh..." A burst of sound pierced the air.

A large number of crossbow arrows were fired from all sides of the phalanx, flying towards the approaching Beidi cavalry.

Some of these Beidi cavalry were only more than ten meters away from the military formation.

In front of the huge power of the crossbow, the Beidi cavalry in front was directly pierced by the crossbow.

"Ah...neigh..." A burst of human screams and the tragic neighing of horses came at the same time.

Charha saw hundreds of cavalrymen falling from their horses.

Some cavalrymen were shot at their horses while galloping, and fell to the ground with both men and horses.

Charhar was furious.

The loss of cavalry almost made him lose his mind.

"Can't my four thousand cavalry kill just two thousand of yours?" Charha was furious.

Turning to face the general beside him, he said: "Mengmayan, knock the military formation away for me."

A war horse is not a creature without fear. When it sees a sharp spear, the war horse will not stupidly bump into it. The instinct of the creature will make it stop forcibly or avoid it.

Therefore, in order to forcefully attack the military formation, the Beidi people sometimes blindfolded their horses.

"Come!" at his command.

Two rows of cavalry consisting of 500 men galloped towards the military formation.

In the center of the military formation, Lu Chang looked solemn when he saw this scene.

The Beidi cavalry formed a line in the wilderness.

The lines keep getting closer.

In their eyes, the Beidi Cavalry became increasingly clear.

Beidi war horses are generally six feet high, and with the Beidi cavalry sitting on them, they are eight feet tall.

A war horse weighs more than a thousand kilograms, and the cavalry is even heavier.

Such a heavy impact could directly kill a soldier.

"Resist the spear!" Lu Chang shouted. Now only the spear can resist the impact of the cavalry.

After his order fell, the spearman pressed his spear to the ground, tilted the tip of the spear toward the cavalry, stepped on the base of the spear with his feet, and exerted all his strength.

"Boom! Bah!"

At a distance of a hundred meters, the Beidi cavalry suddenly accelerated, and the horses hit the spears like afterimages.

The huge impact shattered the jaws of the royal soldiers.

The Beidi cavalry's horse was instantly pierced by a spear.

Some spearmen's spears slipped due to the impact, and they fell backwards after being hit by the horses.

With the force of the impact, Beidi soldiers fell into the military formation.

Climbing up from the ground, they picked up their machetes and started fighting with the palace soldiers.

The crossbowman dropped his crossbow, drew his sword and joined the battle.

"Damn it, I'm not afraid of you in hand-to-hand combat." Lu Chang raised his sword and charged at the Beidi soldiers.

He was tall and covered in plate armor, like a steel god of war.

The long sword was swung down, and a Beidi soldier raised his sword to resist.

When a strong force came, his scimitar was knocked to the ground.

Before he could pick up the machete, he felt the world hanging upside down.

The heads have fallen to the ground.

"kill!"

More Beidi cavalry rushed over, and soldiers from both sides mixed together.

The collision between cavalry and infantry turned into close hand-to-hand combat.

In the distance, Charha's expression relaxed at first, but then turned ugly.

Although the formation of King Yan's soldiers was in chaos due to the collision.

However, his soldiers did not take advantage in the hand-to-hand combat. Instead, they continued to fall under the swords of King Yan's soldiers.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered Tam's words.

He was hesitating whether to continue sending soldiers into hand-to-hand combat.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Tam walking away and turning back.

Tam came to his side with an anxious look on his face, "Don't worry about these King Yan soldiers. The imperial cavalry from Yan Pass has arrived."
