Chapter 175: A Tough Resistance
Everyone looked in the direction of the man of the Night Tribe, and saw several birds suddenly flying in the bushes in the swamp ahead.
Yang Yun and the others immediately came to their senses, and these birds were obviously frightened by something, so they hurriedly flew out of their settlement.
This sudden occurrence immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone immediately came to the edge of the green space and raised their eyes to look in this direction.
Yang Yun rode a war horse and looked condescendingly into the distance. With the help of the homemade monocular in his hand, he was the fastest to discover what was ahead.
In Yang Yun's sight, a group of figures soon appeared, supporting each other, struggling to move forward in the waist-high mud.
"They're out, it's still two or three miles away from here, everyone hurry up and get ready to meet them." Seeing this situation, Yang Yun was in a good mood, and he hurriedly issued an order to his subordinates.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound behind them, and Yang Yun immediately picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
At this glance, Yang Yun's face immediately changed color, and a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in his line of sight and rushed towards the direction where they were at the fastest speed.
The cavalry that appeared at this time obviously could not be their allies, so there was only one possibility, the enemy's reinforcements arrived.
"Why did these guys arrive at this time?" Yang Yun said to himself.
At this time, it was impossible for Yang Yun and the others to retreat, because if they withdrew. Tuoba Du and the others, who are about to come out of the swamp, will face the danger of total annihilation.
In addition, most of Yang Yun's subordinates were Dafu people, and it was almost impossible to escape from the eyes of the Liuyi cavalry who grew up on horseback.
Since there is no way to escape, then fight them to the death. Yang Yun quickly made up his mind, he turned over and dismounted, told everyone what he saw, and told everyone to prepare.
Yang Yun did not bring many soldiers on this trip, only less than three hundred, and the cooperation between the Liuyi soldiers and the Dafu soldiers was not tacit enough, and they heard Yang Yun tell them about the situation. Everyone immediately took action and prepared for the coming battle.
The speed of this group of cavalry was very fast, and they soon appeared in the sight of everyone, and from the visual situation, this group of cavalry was six or seven hundred people.
Looking at this situation, everyone's scalps were a little numb.
The grassland terrain is very flat, which is very suitable for the charge of cavalry, while Yang Yun and others can only stay in place and cannot retreat. On the contrary, they are at a disadvantage in terms of position.
Not to mention, the enemy still has a numerical advantage, almost 3: 1, such a ratio. Therefore, this battle is extremely difficult, and if you are not careful, a single charge from the enemy may crush them.
"Everyone act quickly, according to our previous deployment, we must not let the enemy rush in front of us." It was Qi Wei who gave the order, and his combat experience was the richest among all the people present, so Yang Yun put him in charge of this battle.
Fortunately, most of the few soldiers led by Yang Yun are brave warriors who have been on the battlefield and fought bravely. Faced with an enemy several times their size, they did not have any fear, but were full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.
The speed of the enemy is very fast, only five or six hundred meters away from everyone, and at this speed, it will not be long before the enemy will rush in front of everyone.
Fortunately, everyone has been prepared for this situation. On their periphery, a ring of wood and branches had already been piled up, so that it could be done
Effect of slowing down the impact of enemy cavalry.
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and they could even see the hideous expressions on their faces.
In a few breaths of time, the enemy would rush in front of everyone, and it was only then that the enemy cavalry suddenly discovered the branches and poles hidden by the grass.
Seeing this scene, these cavalry were taken aback, and they made different choices, and some cavalry hurriedly tightened the reins to make the horses stop quickly.
Some of the cavalry saw that the branches and trunks of the trees were piled up in front of them at a low height, and they simply jumped over their horses, and some soldiers could not react, and the horses crashed into these branches, causing some people to turn on their backs.
Although these branches and trunks did not inflict much casualties on the enemy, they greatly reduced the speed of the cavalry attack.
All of them were people who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and they knew the horror of the cavalry that rushed up, and now their speed had decreased, and their threat was much lower.
But there were still some cavalry who were not disturbed, and they continued to gallop on their horses, and as they were about to reach the people, ropes suddenly pulled up in the meadow.
"Oh no, tripside!" Some cavalry in front of them suddenly shouted, but because the distance was too close and the speed of the horses was so fast, they had no time to control the horses to stop.
There was only a long neigh, and many horses fell to the ground, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
At this time, the cavalry coming from behind immediately reacted and immediately controlled the war horse under the crotch to stop.
In this way, the entire cavalry team stopped, which made Yang Yun and the others who were close at hand breathe a long sigh of relief.
The defensive means that everyone hastily prepared only caused the other party to lose more than twenty knights. Although the results of the battle were not significant, they successfully stopped the opponent's cavalry, and the goal was achieved.
The commander of the enemy, who also seemed to be a very experienced man, saw that this situation had arisen. Hurriedly stopped the team and ordered his subordinates to control the formation.
Immediately after that, people were arranged, some of whom were responsible for removing the obstacles, and some were responsible for treating the wounded. Soon after, the scene where the man flipped on his back was gone.
When the other party was busy, Yang Yun and the others did not take the opportunity to attack, they took advantage of this time. Evacuate everyone to a small hill.
At the same time, Qi Wei asked the horse to be searched from the enemy's tent at the front, and asked a pair of soldiers armed with spears to wait behind the horse.
The enemy commander quickly gathered his troops, and the entire cavalry team marched in orderly steps, step by step towards the hill.
Looking at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, the people on the hill were very nervous, and it was difficult to deal with the enemy who was several times their own. But in the current situation, we can only hold on to the death and cannot retreat, so everyone can only grit their teeth and do their best to block the enemy.
The commander of the opposing side also had a fire in his heart, and before he could fight the enemy, he lost many of his brothers.
Therefore, without any hesitation, the commander reorganized the team and rushed towards the small mountain cannon where Yang Yun and the others were.
Qi Wei rode a horse and stood on the top of the mountain, calmly looking at the rushing cavalry of the other party, seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, he gently waved his hand and roared: "Release the arrow!" ”
As soon as Qi Wei's words fell, countless arrows flew towards these cavalrymen. Soon, some of the cavalry who rushed to the front either fell to the ground with arrows or were brought to the ground by the horses wounded in the crotch.
Due to the close distance, these cavalry had little time to dodge, so the casualties caused this time were large.
However, before everyone had time to release the second wave of arrows, the opposing cavalry had already rushed to the front, and at this time, the bow and arrow had lost its usefulness.
The opposing commander saw that his soldiers had rushed to the enemy, and there was a smug look in his eyes. As soon as he gave the order, the knights in front of him began to use their long knives and spears in their hands, ready to remove the horses that were blocking them.
Of course, Qi Wei would not watch the other party and clear the rejection of the horses that were blocking in front of their horses, he immediately ordered the pikemen in front of him to attack the opponent's horse legs or the knights on the horses.
The people on the hill pack had a geographical advantage, and there were pikemen and horse rejection to cooperate, which brought great trouble to the enemy cavalry who wanted to rush up the hill pack.
And the commander of the cavalry, at this time, had also discovered the figure in the swamp. He knows. If the enemy on the three hills can't be defeated this time, Tuoba Du and the others will successfully escape from the swamp.
If this is the case, he cannot afford the consequences, so the commander decides that he must destroy all these enemies on the mountain at all costs.
At the command of this commander, the cavalry showed their fierce side, putting life and death on the line, risking being stabbed by the opposing pikemen, desperately trying to clear the rejection horses in front of them.
After paying the price of dozens more lives, these cavalrymen completely cleared the repulsion in front of them. In this way, there is no obstacle before the two sides.
The cavalry commander gave the order, and the cavalry quickly retreated to the rear, waiting for the people on the mountain to breathe a sigh of relief. The cavalry shouted again and rushed up the hill.
"The cavalry rushed down in front, and the infantry followed." Qi Wei, who was standing on the mountain bag, knew that if he stood in place and waited for the opposing cavalry to rush over, the powerful impact of the cavalry would bring great damage to his side.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Qi Wei took the initiative.
After only a few breaths, the two sides quickly collided with each other and began a fierce fight.
Yang Yun, of the nearly three hundred soldiers brought out this time, only half of them were cavalry. In this case, the infantry fought with cavalry at a great loss, so as soon as the two sides got into contact, Yang Yun's side suffered huge casualties.
The cavalry was a little better, and the other side charged this time. Nearly three cities of cavalry were lost, and those who had no horses were miserable, and in this charge almost half of the soldiers fell on the grass.
"Retreat!" Seeing that the other side suffered heavy casualties, the commander had a smile on his face, he shouted, and his cavalry hurriedly retreated to the rear.
"We can't let them rush up, we'll follow!" Qi Wei knew that if he let the enemy retreat enough distance and make a few more such charges, his side might be completely annihilated.
Therefore, he asked his cavalry to follow closely behind the opponent, not giving the opponent a chance to charge.
Qi Wei's strategy obviously had an effect, and the opposing commander saw that his cavalry could not get rid of it, so he had to let his cavalry turn around and engage in hand-to-hand combat with Qi Wei and others.
At this time, less than half of the Liuyi and Dafu soldiers led by Yang Yun remained, and the other party had the advantage. If this situation continues, the nearly 300 people brought by Yang Yun will be wiped out.
However, none of the remaining 100 or so people flinched, and the collapse of the Paozawa brothers beside them completely stimulated the blood in their hearts.
