Chapter 265: Filth with Bahanna
Li Huaitang didn't dare to stay in Shiguo, he got two kinds of news, one was about Gu Si, Gu Si had long been eyeing the thousands of Tang slaves outside Zhezhi City, but he was limited to Yi Wei's scruples, he had to borrow troops from Mi Guo, and he would arrive within two days. In addition, news came from the rear army that the advance of the Turgish had made contact with Metz and Beard, and under the cover of the strong crossbowmen of the cavalry, they fought and retreated.
The power of the Shi Kingdom was divided into two halves, the north of Zhezhicheng was controlled by the deputy Khan Yixuan, and the area south was the sphere of influence of Mohe Tutun. Thanks to the alliance with Mohe Tutun, along the way, the rear army of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry was not hindered in any way. However, the iron cavalry of the Turgishes was deliberately elbowed, and was forced to take many unjust detours, gradually distancing themselves from the target they were pursuing.
At the foot of the border between Shiguo and Bahanna, Li Huaitang, who had been cut off, received the rear army, ran all the way, and caught up with the army that was one step ahead of Xijian City.
The nearest path from Shiguo back to Ningyuan City is to cross the Fergana Territory to the east and pass through Xijian City. The attitude of the Bahanna Kingdom towards Ning Yuan City is still not clear, but it is estimated that the hostility is far more than the goodwill, after all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and no one wants a powerful force around them to threaten them, and the powerful Ning Yuan City puts considerable pressure on them.
Bahanna's strength should not be underestimated, the infantry is nothing to fear, what makes Li Huaitang scruple is that they come and go like the wind of sweat and blood horses, with thousands of civilians without combat effectiveness, Li Huaitang feels that the strength is not enough, in order to reduce possible losses, he sent dozens of eagle cavalry knights back to Ningyuan City in advance to ask for answers.
"Is there any reaction from the West Keys City?" Approaching Xijian City, Li Huaitang's worries grew.
"Yes," said the Flying Eagle, "their ranger scouts are approaching from time to time, but they are all driven away by us. What's more, White Jade Claw spotted a cavalry circling around us, apparently waiting for an opportunity. ”
"Cavalry?" Li Huaitang had no doubt that it was the sweat and blood ride of Bahanna.
The combat power of the sweat and blood riders was terrifying, and if there was no warning from the white jade claw, they could appear in front of Ning Yuanqi's eyes like ghosts at any time, and then launch a fatal blow with the power of lightning. Especially now in this marching formation, if you are not careful, thousands of civilians will face a massacre.
I'm really afraid of something. Say sweat and blood ride, sweat and blood ride will arrive.
It didn't take long for the white jade claw's scream to appear on the distant hills, and the sturdy knight looked at the rabbit with contempt in the posture of a falcon.
Ah Xin is the chief general of the Khan Blood Cavalry of the Bahanna Kingdom, and he commands more than 2,000 Khan Blood Horsemen. In the heyday of the country of Bakhana, there were 8,000 blood cavalry, and after years of war, the powerful army of blood cavalry was torn apart, and the new king of Bahanna, Asiranda, managed to make do with 3,000 iron horses. However, even if there are only three thousand sweat and blood horses, it is enough to make the iron horses in the world dare not despise them.
"Heroic knights, let them see how powerful we are!"
Asin raised his scimitar and bewitched his knights. These days, he was proud, he had robbed hundreds of sweaty horses not long ago, and now a group of fat sheep passed in front of his eyes. This strange guest army looked like a migratory nomadic tribe, but there were so many horses and camels that Ashin did not intend to let them go in any case, believing that it was a gift arranged by heaven for him, a cornerstone for him to gain the foundation stone of being under one man and above ten thousand. Heaven will give you a curse!
The inspired knights raised their swords in response, and there was no place in the world where they could not go.
"Kill!" Countless sweaty horsemen swiftly climbed over the hills and swooped down on the sheep in their eyes.
The sheep in the eyes of the wolves may not necessarily have the consciousness of sheep, at least Ah Xin does not see that the sheep in his eyes will be easily slaughtered by him, tens of thousands of camels and pack horses are driven in a circle, a large number of warriors and civilians hide in it, and more than 2,000 knights are waiting for them.
From a distance of 1,000 to 400 paces, Ah Xin found that the enemy cavalry still had no intention of driving, as if he was stunned and overwhelmed. The immobile cavalry seemed to Asin to be no different from a dead man, destined to be the result of his scimitar.
Something strange happened, and Ah Xin suddenly noticed a dark cloud rising from the opponent's formation, moving quickly, and pressing towards him. Before he could shout "not good", countless crossbow arrows came to his sweaty and bloody horses, and in an instant, nearly a hundred knights fell from their horses screaming.
At this time, Ning Yuan's iron cavalry was activated, and he did not directly hedge, but went around the opponent's flank, and every knight had a horned bow in his hand. And Li Huaitang led the eagle to ride in front, and the speed was extremely fast.
"Sweat and blood ride!" Ah Xin was quite shocked, and his opponent unexpectedly had a strong crossbow and even a sweaty ride.
"Withdraw!" Asin decisively ordered. Today's events were full of weirdness, and his original plan was to rely on his familiarity with the terrain and the advantage of horse speed to launch a surprise attack and catch his opponent by surprise. Unexpectedly, the opponent was prepared in advance, and the sudden strong crossbow and sweat and blood riding made him feel like he was in a trap.
The fat sheep that can be seen and eaten is the most worrying, and the failed Ah Xin is unwilling to give up this rare opportunity, and along the way, Ah Xin made two more attempts, both of which ended in failure. Every time he thought he was quietly approaching his opponent, and every time the opponent was like a divine help, setting up a position in advance to take precautions.
According to the direction of the opponent's march, Ah Xin determined that they were going to Ningyuan City. He was worried about the newly-rising mysterious neighbor, whose power was not below that of Westkey. The point is that Ningyuan City is located on the eastern annex of Xijian City, and it threatens their safety condescendingly. If this group of powerful forces is thrown into the arms of Ningyuan City, then the situation in Xijian City will be even more severe.
Anxious and anxious, but Ah Xin had nothing to do, and watched his opponent get out of his control. The country of Bakhana had just ended the civil war, and its strength was seriously weakened, except for these 3,000 sweaty and bloody horsemen, they could not organize a surplus force to encircle and suppress the fat sheep who came to the door.
What Ah Xin feared the most happened, thousands of knights came from the direction of Ningyuan City, and took the fat sheep in his eyes away. The knights from Ningyuan City can be seen at a glance that they are martial cavalry troops, and they are not good at riding and fighting, but the longbows in their hands cannot be ignored, and the scouts that Axin once sent to Ningyuan City to investigate have taught them their power, they dare not approach easily, and the noble sweat and blood horses cannot withstand it, and it is not worth such consumption.
When the martial cavalry led by Gongsun Yaowu came, Li Huaitang, including all the Northern Expedition Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, breathed a sigh of relief. Home, just a stone's throw away!
