168. The army presses the border

Ye Zhu is ambitious and wants to enter the Central Plains, but he is not a fool, he has already suffered a loss in the first battle, and he has to be cautious.

So soon, he sent a second team.

This team has a large number of people, and the one who leads the troops is none other than Yao Maru, Ye Zhu's henchman. Yao Maru is very tall and strong, like a man and a bear, but he is not the kind of person who has no force and a simple mind.

On the contrary, Yao Maru is very scheming, otherwise, he would not have become a confidant general trusted by Ya Chou.

He brought a group of elite cavalry with him this time, but more of them were a group of cannon fodder to be sent to death. The purpose is to use them to test the depth of the enemy.

It's a pity that although they know some information about Da Liang, they don't know anything about things that are strictly kept secret, such as "clairvoyance", so before they get closer, someone has already discovered their intentions.

Landmines are not made casually, and since they know that they are here to find out the truth, how can they waste mines on a group of cannon fodder?

What's more, Li Yingxiong and the others had already guessed that Yezhu Khan would definitely send someone to find out the truth, and this time they didn't plan to use mines at all, and the villagers outside the city also temporarily moved into the city with food and property as early as after the autumn harvest.

Yao Maru led the army, and he didn't find anything abnormal all the way, but his heart became more and more uneasy. He did not dare to rush directly to the solid city walls, but went to the village outside the city first.

This time, Yao Maru was almost half angry!

He also wanted to catch some Central Plains people to find out the news, but those cunning Central Plains people had already fled, and they didn't even leave them a grain or a copper plate!

In this way, if he wants to find out the truth of Daning, he can only fight with the Central Plains.

However, the Central Plains people were hiding in the city at this time, and the city wall was built very strong, and he came in a hurry this time, it was impossible to break through the city wall, and once he got close, it would be dangerous!

You know, there are archers on the walls!

Yao Maru hesitated for a moment, feeling that he couldn't just go back like that. Although he is Jesus' henchman, he is not the only henchman of Jechai, and there are countless people who want to replace him, and there are even many people who deliberately oppose Jesus!

He was ordered to come out to investigate the truth this time, and if he didn't find anything and went back, those people would definitely not let him go!

So he gritted his teeth, looked at the cannon fodder he had brought, and decided to drive them over and test the water with them first.

These cannon fodder were either old, weak, sick and disabled, or they were captured from those small tribes, and they had no hope of surviving this winter. In Yao Maru's opinion, if they could test the depth of Daning, they would be considered to be dead.

As for what the cannon fodder who was pushed out to die thought in their hearts, Yao Maru didn't care.

However, the soldiers on the walls were already ready.

As soon as these people entered the range of bows and arrows, the arrows rained down on the city wall, and the screams were endless.

Feng Xuan was standing at the head of the wall, he looked at the miserable scene below with an expressionless face and thought, knowing that these people were cannon fodder at all, and might even be innocent. However, he showed no mercy at all.

The battlefield is the Shura field, since their positions are different, if they want to survive, they must kill each other, and they can't tolerate the slightest soft-heartedness and sympathy.

Because it was just a temptation, these people didn't even bring a decent siege machine, so they could only struggle uselessly.

As cannon fodder, they had only two options, either to be shot dead by a bow and arrow, or to run back and be killed by Yao Maru's soldiers.

At the same time, Yao Maru suddenly gave the order to let the archers shoot at the city walls. Not only that, but he even picked up a big bow, mounted a long arrow, aimed it at Feng Xuan and shot it.

Although it was far away, he still saw Feng Xuan at a glance who was obviously dressed differently from other soldiers, and guessed that Feng Xuan's identity was not ordinary.

It is impossible for him to test the reality of Daning this time, but if he can shoot an amazing character, not only will he have no fault, but he can also make great achievements!

In this way, even if he went back, those people would not dare to beak him.

It's a pity that Feng Xuan has already seen him first.

Seeing Yao Maru shooting arrows with a bow, Feng Xuan also immediately picked up a big bow and shot three arrows in succession. The three arrows broke through the air one after another, the first one accurately hit the arrow shot by Yaomaru, and the second and third flew directly towards Yaomaru.

Yao Maru was shocked and split the second arrow with one sword, only to find that the third arrow was already close at hand, and there was no way to stop it. He instinctively pulled the person next to him to block the third arrow for himself, but at this moment, Feng Xuan had already ordered someone to set up a bed crossbow.

Just as Yaomaru was panicked and pulled the people around him to block the arrows for himself, as the axe fell, the terrifying arrows as thick as spears suddenly broke through the air.

□□The fuse had already been lit as the huge arrow roared into the enemy line, and the bomb exploded with a bang, instantly turning people on their backs.

Although the accuracy of this giant arrow was not good, Yaomaru's men and horses gathered together, and the giant arrow rushed into the formation, which had already killed many people in an instant, and when the bomb exploded, all the horses, whether injured or uninjured, panicked.

At this moment, Feng Xuan aimed at Yao Maru again and shot an arrow. This time, Yao Maru wants to appease the horses under him, and he can't dodge it anymore. It's a pity that he grew up on horseback since he was a child, and his riding skills are really good, and his perception of danger is quite keen.

Seeing that he couldn't completely dodge, he simply avoided the vital point, and directly raised his thick arm to catch one of the arrows.

Although he was not lightly injured this time, he did not lose his life.

It's just that after seeing the terrible nature of the other party, whether it is Yao Maru or the others, they have a deep fear in their hearts, and they quickly turn around and flee without Yao Maru's order.

Yao Maru gritted his teeth, knowing that he would not take advantage of continuing to stay, and immediately turned his horse's head and prepared to flee.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt dizzy, and immediately fell off the horse.

Between the flames of the calcium carbide that fell, Yao Maru suddenly realized that the arrow was poisonous!

Unfortunately, he understood it too late.

Soon, the gates were wide open, and a group of cavalry rushed straight in the direction of the Tartars' rout, followed by a squad of infantry, tasked with mending the swords to those who were not yet dead.

The second attempt of the Tartars ended in failure again, but everyone knew that since the Tartars had been preparing for the invasion of the Central Plains for a long time, they would never give up lightly.

Now it is only a small temptation, and when the Tartar army overwhelms the city, the war will surely become extremely fierce.

It is precisely because of this that no one will be soft on the enemy. After all, if the other party doesn't die, it is likely that they will die next time.

There were too many Tartar cavalry, and they couldn't leave them all behind, but although these people fled back, Yachai's henchman Yao Maru could never go back.

It was only as the cavalry fled back that the news that Daning had explosives reached the ears of Ye Chai and the others.

However, the Tartar cavalry didn't know that it was explosives, and only described it exaggeratedly, which made Ye Chai and the others particularly jealous.

As a result, those who were dissatisfied with Jejo relented and tried to take away Jejo's rights.

Jereus was furious, and he knew in his heart that he had to fight a good fight, or his authority would be challenged even more!

So soon, Feng Xuan and the others got the news that the Tartars were about to be overwhelmed.

This time, Ye Cha obviously moved his real character, not only sent a large number of elite cavalry, but also took out catapults and battering rams, ready to deal a hard blow to Daning's defenders.

The Tartars have been raiding the border for many years, not only to rob grain, gold and silver, but also to rob the craftsmen and women of the Central Plains. These catapults and battering rams were made by the craftsmen who had plundered them.

Ye Chai was full of confidence, and felt that even if he couldn't beat this time, he could teach the other party a hard lesson.

It's a pity that Feng Xuan had already calculated that he would do this, and he had already planted mines on the road he had to pass, and the bed crossbows on the city wall were erected one after another.

In order to let the other party be fooled, Feng Xuan deliberately sent a team of cavalry out to be bait.

Before Jechai's army could approach, the cavalry had already rushed over on a safe route, vigorously provoking Jechai's army. Although Ye Chai did not come in person, his henchmen knew very well that he ordered the army to suppress the border this time in order to regain his past prestige.

Seeing that the cavalry in the Central Plains, who were far inferior to them, dared to provoke, how could these people endure it?

Immediately, the cavalry at the front could not bear to rush over.

As soon as they took the bait, the Daning cavalry naturally turned around and ran, they deliberately led the Tartar cavalry to rush to the minefield, stepping on the safe route to Guò, the Tartar cavalry was huge, and without knowing the truth, they rushed directly into the minefield.

So in an instant, the sound of explosions was incessant, and the flames soared into the sky.

The movement here quickly alarmed the Tartar army in the distance, and they were shocked when they saw the cavalry in front of them being torn apart, and instinctively reined in their horses, not daring to continue to approach.

Although they had heard that the people of the Central Plains had a terrible firearm, when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still horrified in their hearts.

The scene of the explosion was really terrible, they were not afraid of fighting with the Central Plains people, but they were afraid of the despicable methods of the Central Plains people.

It's a pity that the coach in the rear doesn't want to leave so gloomy.

He roared, "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, how many such weapons can the Central Plains people have? Rush straight over! Kill them! ”

As soon as these words came out, many people regained their spirits, raised the scimitar in their hands and shouted frantically: "Rush! Kill those damn Central Plains people! ”
