In a mountain col five miles away from Yuechi County, Gong Hong, one of the barbarian "Seven Surnamed Yi Kings", is sitting on a Hu Cabinet; Standing next to him was Li Bi, the "King of Liangping" in military uniform.

Gong Hong looked at the misty distance and said, "Brother Liangping, do you think that Yuechi defenders will be fooled?"

Li Bi smiled leisurely: "Lord Sanjiang, rest assured, the virtue of these officers and soldiers, this king knows very well; There are so many heads sent, but they can risk great military exploits, how can the generals who defend the city not pounce and bite them! ”

Gong Hong nodded: "This time I will fight several counties, and all of them will be decided by one battle; It's all a clever plan made by Brother Liang Ping! It's just a pity that these counties have been eaten up by the officers and soldiers in front of them and the defenders who escaped.

If we can't quickly replenish a large amount of grain and military funds, what capital will you and I use to advance Qianwei County and Shu County? ”

Li Bi turned his head to look at Gong Hong and said with a smile: "This way, the old, weak, sick and disabled under the prince have almost been eliminated, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses are all strong;

and took this Yuechi county, added some grain, and then waved the southwest, and took Han'an and Nan'an counties;

In these two counties, there are pottery kiln iron mines in Han'an and iron ore salt mines in Nan'an, both of which are rich lands that Qianwei County can get.

Hahaha, if you get these two counties, our army will definitely rise in momentum and be strong! At that time, we will recruit troops and buy horses, and with a great victory, we will conquer the entire Qianwei County in one fell swoop; At that time, Shu County was already in our pockets. ”

At this time, Tan Ma Lai reported: The defenders of Yuechi have gone out of the city to chase and kill our people!

"Good!" Gong Hong slapped her thigh excitedly: "Something like a dog, I finally opened my mouth; Blow the trumpet, order the little ones, and kill them! ”

In an instant, a low horn sounded in the mountain col, and thousands of Banyu barbarian troops who had been in ambush for many days roared a strange cry in their mouths, and raised their knives to kill them...

I just don't know, at such a distance, these people are roaring, jumping up and down, and when they rush to the city wall of Yuechi County, do they still have the strength to fight?

~~~~~

Master Shi, who had been chasing and killing the barbarians for more than three miles, and the tall cart was full of bloody heads, heard the sound of military trumpets and the roars of most of the barbarians from afar, and his face turned pale with shock!

When the sun rises, the heat will transpire the water vapor on the ground, and the fog vapor at this time will be thicker; 100 zhang away, it is no longer clear to see; The shouts of killing seemed to come from all directions.

Shi Shilang, who was riding a horse on the side, was also trembling with fright: "Big, big brother, I, we are ambushed?" Hurry up, run away! ”

After speaking, Shi Shilang jumped off the horse, escorted a few personal soldiers, and helped Lord Shi's high car turn.

The road was rough, and the mist soaked the brown clay earth into a slippery state, making it extremely difficult to turn the wheel.

Standing on the high car, holding the handle with one hand and spreading forward with the other, Master Shi shouted at the soldiers in front of him;

His heart was panicked, and his mouth was still shouting: "I won't go!" I will live and die with the soldiers! Shilang, you bird, let go quickly, I want to advance and retreat with the soldiers! ”

Why doesn't Juro understand his eldest brother's virtues?

didn't talk to him, just buried his head in moving the wheels; Listening to the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer, Lord Shi was even more anxious in his heart!

Seeing Shiro and the others shouting "hey, hey, hey", the high car couldn't turn around, and the anxious Lord Shi jumped off the high car! Unexpectedly, the road was slippery in the rain, and Mr. Shi, who had just touched the ground with his front foot, fell into a sturdy "dog gnawing mud"...

"Shilang, what are you doing, don't you hurry up and help me up!" Master Shi didn't care about the mud on his beard, and struggled to get up and climb on Shiro's horse.

Shiro held Shi's ass and panted to help him onto the horse; Master Shi grasped the reins steadily, and his heart settled down a lot.

He turned his head and shouted: "Soldiers, the barbarians are powerful, quickly withdraw to the city!" This official is your royal highness! After that, he shook the reins and clamped the horse's belly, and ran to the city...

~~~~~

The officers and soldiers who were chasing and killing the barbarians in front and back, left and right, as soon as they heard the sound of the bull's horn, they already knew that something was wrong!

I can't care about chasing and killing anymore, I turn around and run; Throw away the human head tied around the waist and the spear as he runs; If it weren't for the head knife that could save his life, he wouldn't have lost the knife, so he just wanted to run away!

The officers and soldiers desperately fled to Yuechi County, and the banyu behind them chased after them with their lives.

If you can kill this officer and army in the field, it is equivalent to cutting off one of the defenders' arms; The siege battle will be easier in a few moments.

Li must have thrown the only 300 cavalry in his army into the battlefield; Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind them, the two brothers secretly said in their hearts: Bitter!

Ignoring the whizzing of arrows in his ears, he lay tightly on the horse's back, and fled desperately, hating that the horse was not a Pegasus and did not have wings; Nor is it a crab that hates it for not having eight legs.

As soon as he ran out of two miles, the horse under him was already stuck with several arrows in the hind hips; Behind him, Gong Hong personally went into battle, leading dozens of horses, with Lord Shi at the tail, less than ten zhang away!

Seeing dozens of people rushing out of the city to respond, before Lord Shi had time to cheer, he only heard Lord Shi scream bitterly, "Ah! "And he fell off his horse...

Poor Master Shi was originally just hit by an arrow in the back, but fortunately, the protection of the bright silver armor was not bad, and there was a big shield to cover it, but the arrow was just shot in, and the skin was injured; Unexpectedly, he was thrown down by such a fall, and the arrow was already out of his chest!

Shi Shilang exclaimed: "Big brother, hurry up!" ”

Master Shi on the ground struggled to raise his head, looked at the bloody arrow on his chest, and replied with difficulty: "Shilang save me!" ”

The word "Shilang" exits, and Shi Shilang is still a horse body away from Lord Shi; By the time the word "I" was finished, Shi Shiro's ponytail was already two feet away from Master Shi...

Master Shi didn't have time to sigh, and sighed that Shilang's equestrian skills were so good, so he saw a spear piercing his chest; Until the tip of the cold and glistening spear grew bigger and bigger...

~~~~~

Many people think that light cavalry fights with the reins in one hand and a spear in the other; In fact, the cavalry held a spear, and the tip of the spear was behind.

Cavalry combat is to release arrows at a long distance, throw short spears at medium distances, and use spears to "pierce" at close range; Abandon the spear and draw the knife in hand-to-hand combat!

European cavalry fought by raising their spears and "piercing" their backhands; Otherwise, when the spear stabs the enemy, he will also be taken off his horse and become a puddle of meat by the reaction force!

Especially in the era when Takahashi saddles and double stirrups had not yet appeared, no matter how good your riding skills were, you couldn't bear the recoil power brought by the spear stabbing the enemy at the same time;

(The spear later developed into the spear)

Nashi Shiro took the lead and rushed into the ranks of the officers and soldiers who came to meet him.

Fortunately, thanks to the leading twenty horsemen, these Liang Zheng and Li Kun gave Wen Cheng's sergeants excellent skills, and they were able to avoid Shi Shilang's wild run in danger when they went to both sides! Otherwise, if you don't wait for the enemy to kill, you will be in a heap.

The defeated and defeated soldiers cannot directly penetrate the formation, and can only flee to the rear of the formation from the side; Otherwise, the soldiers of this formation who are arrayed to meet the enemy will directly shoot and kill the routs who rush into disarray, and they will never leave a trace of affection!

Wen Cheng specially instructed that Shi Shilang should be open, so as not to say that he had a personal vendetta.

Otherwise, just now, this Shi Shilang attacked the formation and killed him on the spot, and no one would be able to gossip...

That Gong Hong also followed Shi Shilang and rushed to the front of the official army; The leader of the leader broke off and stabbed with a spear! The cavalry in the rear also raised their crossbows and fired at the barbarian cavalry with a whizz.

Gong Hong dodged the spear sideways, pulled out the scimitar at his waist and slashed!

Seeing that the spear was useless, Nashi Chang directly borrowed the power of a stab, gave up the spear, and also pulled out the head knife, and blocked it with the momentum of the knife, and blocked Gong Hong's oblique slash with a "bang".

The two of them tightened the reins with one hand and slashed with a knife in the other, and after a few rounds, Nashi Chang felt that his arm was sore, and it was becoming more and more difficult to resist Gong Hong's offensive...

The rest of the cavalry were all in a mixed group; Seeing that there were more and more cavalry of the barbarians, the officers and soldiers could only desperately delay, and did not dare to retreat back to the city!

The longer the delay lasts, the more hope the officers and men who have fled in all directions will be able to live.

The barbarians are now only cavalry, and most of the barbarian infantry are still two miles away; The barbarian cavalry only attacked the city gate, and at the other two city gates, the defeated army could escape into the city...

Wen Cheng on the city wall, seeing that the cavalry outside the city was in danger, hurriedly ordered to push out the cart that had been prepared at the city gate!

Gong Hong saw that the battle had been fruitless for a long time, and saw dozens of carts full of firewood and grass stomping out of the city gate, and behind the carts were dozens of soldiers armed with bows and crossbows;

Gong Hong didn't dare to shoot the precious cavalry as a target, and was surrounded by firewood and made a barbecue; With a whistle, the barbarian cavalry pulled the reins, turned their heads and left!

~~~~~

When some of the retreating sergeants fled into the city, and the cavalry were stationed in the breastwall outside the city, and retreated back to the city gates under the cover of bows and crossbows.

Wen Cheng ordered the sergeants in the outer breastwork to be withdrawn as well; Then the gates were closed, ready for the siege of the Ban Barbarians...
