Chapter 120: The Remnants of the Attack
"Boss, is our mission still to patrol today?" Somewhere in the northwest of the city, a light cavalry squad leader asked Wang Song, the squadron leader next to him, a little boredly.
In the last battle of Awabe, Wang Song not only killed Wamai, the son of Vala, but also performed exceptionally well. In addition, due to the rapid expansion of the light cavalry, the number of middle and senior cavalry officers could not keep up. Liu Ye did not have too many middle and high-ranking cavalry officers in his hands who could be trusted. So Wang Song, who has a relatively high level of ability and loyalty, was selected. Became a glorious squadron leader of the light cavalry of the Saigo Army. He had four cavalry squads and more than 100 light cavalry soldiers.
Two months ago, Wang Song was a nobody, but now he is a squadron leader. In Xixiang, it can barely be regarded as a middle and high-level military general. The speed of this promotion made many people in Xixiang envious. However, Wang Song was not complacent in his heart. Because he knows that he is still far from his goal?
Some time ago. In order to prevent the Hu people who infiltrated to cause sabotage, and to sweep out the mountain bandits who came out to rob while the fire was burning. Liu Ye personally ordered the entire area to be divided into three areas, each of which was specifically responsible for a squadron of light cavalry. Among them, Wang Song's squadron is responsible for the northwest corner of the company. In each area, patrols are dispersed in small teams. However, before patrolling, the squads still have to meet each other.
"Yes, today's mission is still patrolling! After a while, the big guys will disperse, and they will still follow the old rules, and each team will still be the original patrol area. Wang Song said expressionlessly.
"Is it another patrol? It's boring! We've been in this ghost place for nearly half a month, not to mention the Hu people, and we don't even have a passing mountain bandit? What is there to patrol! A swarthy middle-aged squad leader complained as he rode a horse with his head in his hands.
"Yes! It's not fun! A Sinicized Hu man named Suha also complained. Then he said with great longing and some regret: "I heard that some time ago, Lord White Wolf and Wolf King killed more than ten top Hugou warriors in the Dongying Single Riding Formation, including a well-known Condor Archer. Lord Wolf is too strong. It's a shame that I didn't get to appreciate the heroism of the Wolf King! ”
Suha was the first Hunu leader of the Awabe tribe to take refuge in the Xixiang Army. It is also very strong in its own right. However, since he saw the goblin kill Vala in seconds, he immediately became a loyal fan of the goblin. The Chinese name Suha was also given to him by the little goblin, and Suha is often proud of it. By the way, Suha is one of the more successful Hu people in sinicization. As a model for the Sinicized Hu people, he is now also a light cavalry captain.
After hearing Su Ha mention someone, Wang Song felt a little painful. After all, in a sense, the goblin is not only his housewife, but also his rival in love. Wang Song had long known that the little goblin had always been thinking about Jiang Wang's family. Until now, Jiang Wang's clan is still firmly occupied by the little goblins. In this regard, Wang Song was also a little helpless. It's just someone who's too 'perverted'.
"Uh-huh! Uh-huh! After Wang Song snorted twice to attract everyone's attention, he instructed with a serious face: "Don't relax after everyone disperses later!" Now that our Xixiang is at a critical juncture of survival, the big guys must not have the slightest slackness. A certain defense zone is absolutely not allowed to have a single loophole! If you find out that some of you dare to be lazy, you will definitely be court-martialed and will not be tolerated! ”
"No!" After listening to Wang Song's words, the four squad leaders, including Su Ha, immediately replied. They all know that the person in front of them is the master who does what he says. And for military law, the uncle in front of him is quite strict.
"Report, urgent report!" Just after Wang Song's lecture, he was about to disband the team and disperse the patrol. A scout rushed over.
"Captain, something is wrong! There is an enemy! After the scout galloped over on his war horse, he said to Wang Song breathlessly.
"Don't worry! Slowly, what's going on? Wang Song did not panic, but asked very calmly.
After pouring a large mouthful of water, the very thirsty scout hurriedly reported to Wang Song: "Back to the captain, half an hour ago, a few of us caught a sneaky Hu man. After interrogation, I didn't expect this Hu man to be a scout. This Hu man was still relatively tough at first. We didn't talk nonsense with him, and after cutting off a few of his fingers, the Hu scout immediately confessed. He said that he belonged to the remnants. Moreover, he also confessed that there was a group of more than 600 Hu cavalry in the north who was passing through a secret path, preparing to launch an attack on the city! ”
"Is the message accurate?" After listening to the scout's report, Wang Song forcibly pressed the restlessness in his heart, and asked if he wanted to confirm it carefully. In this special period, more than 600 Hu people suddenly appeared near the corner, which is not a trivial matter. If there is an oolong, it will definitely be a very troublesome thing. Even he wasn't immune.
"Absolutely! I cut off the cub with two fingers, and he confessed. Then I cut off five fingers of that bearded cub to confirm! The scout rubbed his head and smiled sheepishly.
"How many horsemen are there in the Hu people, and whether there are slave soldiers!" Wang Song nodded and continued to ask.
"According to the bearded cub, they set out lightly this time, all of them were cavalry, and there were no slaves. There are about 300 trojans! The scout continued to report.
"Oops! There are so many breezers! If we were to fight in the wilderness, we would definitely lose with the current strength of our light cavalry! Boss, what should we do now? The swarthy middle-aged squad leader on the side said in a little panic. Even the rest of the surrounding cavalry were a little flustered.
Although there are nearly 400 members of the light cavalry, the light cavalry has just been expanded. There is a large number of recruits inside. (The recruits here are horseback-riding, but they are not familiar with cavalry combat.) And did not undergo full cavalry training. Not to mention the cross-era attack brought by a certain traverser, only the unique spear cavalry attack of the Saigo Cavalry. Now the combat power of the Saigo cavalry is very weak. At most, it is stronger than the herdsman cavalry of the Hu people, and this still has to be counted when the equipment is counted. In terms of unequipped combat alone, the Xixiang cavalry was no stronger than the herdsman cavalry of the Hu people. What's more, this time the Hu people also have more than 300 elite assault horses. In the face of the Hu people's sudden cavalry, the Xixiang cavalry had no chance of winning.
"Don't be in a hurry! There will be a way! The calm Wang Song comforted everyone. Then Wang Song then asked the scout: "What is the terrain of the small road that the Hu people smuggled into just now?" Is it steep? ”
"That path is relatively secret, and my subordinates and others have just discovered it. I didn't go in to investigate. However, according to the captured Hu man, the trail was rather narrow, and only three horsemen could walk side by side. The scout said after a moment's recollection.
"That's good!" After Wang Song breathed a sigh of relief, he ordered to the several squad leaders beside him: "Brothers, now Hu Gou is preparing to sneak attack Liyu City as a member of the Xixiang Cavalry. We must not let them pass easily. Although we are waiting for a riding battle in the wild, we are no match for this group of dogs. But in the mountains, the Hugou's cavalry could not be used. As long as we block these dogs in the mountain road, it will be a great achievement. We are not as good as Hu Dog in terms of horse fighting, but we are the ancestors of Hu Dog in foot war. ”
"Brothers! The time has come for meritorious service! Follow Lao Tzu! ”
After speaking, Wang Song rode a war horse and rushed to the hidden path under the leadership of the scout. His men also rushed over. Of course! On the way, he also sent people to ask for help. Although he was full of confidence just now, he knew that he only had more than a hundred horsemen in his hands, and he would definitely not be able to hold it for too long.
