No one went to report the situation to the wing, first, the situation was unknown, and second, the distance was long, and when they arrived at the wing headquarters, the food was cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the cover of night, the dense cavalry blatantly carried torches and moved quickly.

"We are not a sneak attack, we are an attack, so we don't have to be afraid of being discovered, and show me the majesty of our pastoral flag!"

That's what their banner lord said.

The young leader of the Banner Merchant Group who had traded with Zhao Hu last time was riding a horse and following behind a fierce middle-aged man at this moment, his face was full of excitement, and when he was looking in the direction of Kulong Town, his heart suddenly moved, and he quickly whipped and approached the middle-aged man.

"Father, let me take a team of men and horses to take down Kulong Town, right?"

Before the middle-aged man could speak, a young man next to him had already spoken.

"Big brother, are you too excited? There's nothing in Kulong Town, and you're going to take it? I don't know what you think! ”

And several knights beside this young man immediately laughed with mockery on their faces.

Mocked by his brother like this, the young merchant leader had a flash of anger in his eyes, and he kept his calm tone and reported to his father.

"The second lieutenant knight that the elder said is in Kulong Town."

When the middle-aged flag lord who had been expressionless all this time heard this, a contemplative look immediately appeared on his face.

The young man who mocked his brother just now was puzzled for a moment, and then there was an angry look in his eyes, and when he was about to say something, the middle-aged shepherd banner master who had been thinking about it for a while had already nodded.

"Murtie, you take two thousand men to destroy the second lieutenant knight, and if you don't catch up with the rear troops before dawn, go back to the grassland."

The leader of the young merchant group, known as Multie, was overjoyed when he heard this, while his younger brother had a frosty face.

2,000 cavalry to attack Tuzhen, which only has more than 600 people, is simply nine out of ten, so the order to "complete the task before dawn, or return to the grassland" is simply redundant.

Although the other party is only about 600 people, it is a very important feat to eliminate a formed regular army brigade of the Augustus Empire.

With the order of the banner master, Mu Ertie pointed the names of the two commanders, and then waved his hand proudly, under the command of the commander, centurion, and ten, the two thousand cavalry reined in the reins, turned the horse's head, each brought a spare horse, quickly broke away from the large army, and rushed towards Kulong Town.

The Fifth Brigade, which has been engaged in confrontation drills for several months, is only one step away from the elite brigade, that is, it has not gone through actual combat.

However, although the actual combat ability is not yet clear, as scouts, the ability of the cavalry unit is still very powerful, and they have discovered the movements of Multie's 2,000 cavalry from afar.

After a brief observation of the direction of the large force of the Shepherd Banner Cavalry, the leader of the scout cavalry squad waved his hand, and the scout cavalry immediately rushed back to Kulong Town.

At the entrance of the brigade department, Locke and Luo Fei were clutching with machetes, their faces full of hideousness.

Dio and Sun Jie grabbed a sword, their faces uneasy.

Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen's expressions remained unchanged, staring at the soldiers who had assembled towards the square of the brigade headquarters.

The soldiers, who were heading to the brigade square to assemble, heard the words "Scout Emergency!" Get out of the way quickly! Immediately get out of the way so that the scout cavalry can pass quickly.

The leader of the scout cavalry squad rushed to Zhao Hu's side, and reported before he could stop.

"Sir, most of the enemy troops are advancing in the direction of the provincial capital, and three or four thousand cavalry are attacking this town."

The squad leader had no way to confirm the details of the enemy's situation, and now it was dark outside, and if it weren't for the other party's rampant torch advance, I'm afraid that even this approximate number would not be known.

Three or four thousand!

Hearing this number, except for Locke and Luo Fei, everyone else around Zhao Hu changed their faces, especially the squad leaders who were waiting for orders next to them.

There are more than six times as many enemy soldiers as yours, and all of them are cavalry!

I only have one cavalry squadron, plus some miscellaneous cavalry who can ride horses in other squadrons and brigade headquarters, and the entire brigade is at most two hundred cavalry, how can this be fought?

You know, the cavalry is the king of the land!

Escape?

Please, run away in front of the cavalry?

It's better to stay where you are and have a good time!

You must know that the pursuit of nomadic cavalry generally follows you so that you are tired to the point that you can't do it, and then they come forward and torture you to death.

Everyone who didn't know what to do set their eyes on Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu was not panicked, and when he knew the number of enemy troops attacking, he vetoed the possibility of escaping as soon as possible, so he gave the order directly.

"The infantry hid behind the house, the archers went up to the roof, hiding themselves, the cavalry lay in ambush outside the town, and the logistician followed behind the cavalry."

Hearing this order, everyone was slightly stunned and obeyed the order.

Although the team leaders usually acquiesced to Zhao Hu's leadership under Zhao Hu's various means, they were a little awkward in their hearts, after all, Zhao Hu was a logistics officer, but now the situation was different.

According to the imperial military law, in wartime, Zhao Hu, the person with the highest rank in the brigade, has automatically become the commander of the brigade. If these subordinates disobey the order, they can definitely be executed on the spot, which is a power that Zhao Hu will never have in normal times.

So although the team leaders had different ideas in their hearts, they still chose to obey the order.

The soldiers who received the order were immediately automatically grouped into groups.

This kind of hide-and-seek kung fu has not been practiced much in the past few months, not only hiding well, but also hiding quickly, so it didn't take long for the originally noisy town to be silent, only the torches lit during the dinner not long ago were blown by the wind.

Sun Jie, who was hiding behind the house with Zhao Hu, asked in a low voice.

"Sir, why don't we hide in the house?"

Zhao Hu didn't speak, just knocked on the thick mud wall.

Before Sun Jie could figure out what was going on, Zhou Wen had already knocked Sun Jie on the head.

"Stupid, this town is full of mud houses, hiding in the houses, as long as the enemy blocks the door, we can't escape

"Sir, sir, we, can we, can we, win?"

Dio, a middle-aged man, was so nervous that he stammered when he spoke.

Zhao Hu looked at Dio, then at the Locke brothers who let go of their weapons from time to time and were gearing up, and then at the soldiers around him, and couldn't help but smile confidently.

"Don't be nervous, the enemy is all cavalry, as soon as they rush in, the cavalry loses its effect, and under our ambush, the victory is definitely ours."

Hearing Zhao Hu's affirmation, the people around him were slightly calm, but a soldier muttered, "But there are three or four thousand of them," which made everyone's hearts lift again.

Zhao Hu smiled again.

"Three or four thousand people is not many, isn't it something that we can solve with ten slashes each?"

"The sir's right! Ten cuts per person can get rid of them, which is so easy compared to the thousands of cuts we usually have every day! ”

The two Locke brothers responded loudly.

Recalling months of hard training, the soldiers regained their self-confidence, and the thought that "these thousands of people are nothing remarkable" welled up in their hearts.

Just as the soldiers were calming down and even joking with each other, there was a whistling sound in the distance.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they tightened their weapons.

The fight is coming.

Murtie, with two thousand cavalry, rushed into the town with a roar, and did not send an avant-garde.

In his opinion, the other party only has about 600 people, most of whom are infantry, and they are not the opponents of his 2,000 cavalry at all, so just rush in and fight.

But when he saw the town, he spat and cursed.

"! Let them run! ”

Anyone who sees a messy dining table, an open door, a mess of objects on the floor, and a silent environment will think that people have already run away.

"Give me the order to go down and chase me! I don't believe the infantry can run far! ”

The cavalry that had rushed into the town first arrived at the square, and when they saw the mess, they subconsciously stopped their horses, and they could not stop, and the tables and stools on the ground would trip them at any time.

They couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, they didn't even get the head of an enemy this time, wouldn't it be in vain?

Just as they were about to instigate the order from above to continue the pursuit, Murtie's order was given, and they immediately prepared to pursue with joy, but because they had stopped for a while just now, the cavalry behind them were blocked, and the shouting and scolding immediately sounded from behind.

This is also something that can't be helped, who called the cavalry fast?

Moreover, these guys from herdsmen, when they saw the town, they all flocked in to see what good things they could loot, plus these cavalry were all configured with two horses, this series of habits made them 2,000 people and 4,000 horses crowded on the road that traversed the entire town in Kulong Town.

Seeing that the team stopped, Mu Ertie was a little puzzled, but when he saw a cavalry dismount and enter the mud and stone house to rummage for something, he couldn't help but curse.

"Stupid! It's just a broken town, what good things can it be? Why don't you catch up and kill all the Imperial troops, then turn around and chase the home team! Everything of value is in the provincial capital, stupid! ”

Multie's words made some of the cavalrymen who had also wanted to dismount and look for something continue to stay on their horses, while the cavalrymen who had dismounted but found nothing ran back as fast as they could.

At this time, the cavalrymen who were eager to immediately kill Zhao Hu's gang and catch up with the home team to make a fortune in the provincial capital began to be impatient with the friction of their comrades in front, and the scolding became louder.

Just when there was a lot of noise, a terrible scream suddenly sounded, which shocked Mu Ertie and the others.

The screams that followed, and an arrow that knocked down Multier's mount, made him understand what was going on.

In order not to be pressed by his mount, he rolled over to the ground in embarrassment, and then reflexively relied on his mount to block the sharp arrows fired in all directions, and finally shouted angrily.
