Chapter 12: Enemy Attack
Li Miao opened his eyes and swept to the topography map on the desk, and when he saw the location that Qin Shuai was pointing to, his heart trembled, feeling Qin Shuai's breath, Li Miao knew that this tiger was really angry this time, Liaoyuan Army can be surnamed Qin, or surnamed Huang, but it must not be surnamed other words!
Barren wilderness, cold north, a few days of rapid marching, the 40,000 soldiers of Emperor Xiaowu in the north and 6,000 light cavalry troops in the three cities of Li, Lin, Xiang and so on finally came to Yancheng Nanqiu Town under the leadership of King Jing Yuyin, this place is still 100 miles away from Yancheng, but seeing that the soldiers of Emperor Xiaowu are almost paralyzed, Jing Yuyin's nest is extremely helpless, after all, this is a new army, if he is the Hexi Army, it must be a hundred times stronger than this.

Geng Liao, the commander of Emperor Xiaowu's army and the general of the palace guard, came to the king of Qin and said, "Your Highness, if you run into barbarians on such a march, the consequences will be unpredictable!" ”
Hearing this, Jing Yuyin didn't know how, just looked at these crooked soldiers resting under the tree, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a group of routed soldiers, if he comes to him now with more than a thousand brute horses, I am afraid that he will be scattered.
"Your Highness, the sentry has found a tail behind it!"
Just when Jing Yuyin was afraid that something would happen, the guard Jin Yu galloped in front of him and whispered.
"Who is it?" Jing Yuyin was worried.
"I don't know, they are dressed in gray, like rangers, but like the horse slaves of the barbarians!"
"Ranger... Manu" Jing Yuyin said silently, beside him, Yang Mao pondered, and said: "Your Highness, it's better to be careful!" ”
"Jin Yu, immediately send a team of light horsemen to clean them up, be quick!"
In front of a bluestone, Lin Xiu and the others leaned crookedly on the bluestone to rest, he glanced at it, and there was a trace of worry in his heart, if such a team really encountered those brute horses, what would be the consequences? He didn't know.
"Ah Xiu, come, drink saliva!"
Zhao Yuan handed over the water bag, Lin Xiugang reached out to pick up the water bag, but the water bag leaked with a pop, and when he looked again, a feather arrow flying from nowhere had completely penetrated the water bag, and in the next second, Emperor Xiaowu was in chaos.
"Enemy attack... Enemy attack..."
With the brute cavalry that suddenly appeared behind the hills in the distance, there was a cry of surprise in the Xiaowu Emperor, and in this sound stimulation, most of the soldiers turned pale in an instant, and their already tired expressions even more highlighted the three-point death intent.
"Quick, get up!"
Lin Xiu dodged a feather arrow, pulling his chapped throat and yelling at the brothers, at this time, the scattered arrow curtain like autumn rain flew from the northeast, Lin Xiu hurriedly climbed up the bluestone and looked into the distance, where the smoke and dust were stranded, and the horses' hooves neighed, it must be the barbarians' scattered horses.
"Damn brutes! Lined up, the whole army, and the light cavalry rushed up with me! ”
In the face of the sudden appearance of the barbarian army, Jing Yu was furious, at this time, he must not let the harassment of the barbarian cavalry become the chaos of the Xiaowu Emperor, otherwise the soldiers will be exhausted, even if there are tens of thousands more, they will be destroyed at this moment.
In the hurried horn, the six thousand light horsemen instantly broke away from the team of the Xiaowu Emperor, and instantly divided into three teams under the leadership of their respective commanders, guarding the Xiaowu Emperor's left and right.
Although these cavalry troops are not elite, they are still several times better than the soldiers of Emperor Xiaowu, and a light cavalry commander rushed to Jing Yuyin while calling for his own soldiers to lead the army to attack: "Your Highness, He Chong, the commander of the Xiangcheng marching army and the light cavalry battalion, is willing to throw off the soldiers of the headquarters to attack the enemy!" ”
"Accurate!" Due to the rapid change of the situation, tens of thousands of Xiaowu Emperors have already given birth to signs of riots in a misty rain of arrows, so Jing Yuyin does not dare to delay the attack time at all, so as not to further expand the signs of dispersion.
He Chong got the order, with more than 2,000 light horsemen from the headquarters went straight to the place of smoke and dust, facing the rain curtain, He Chong and other light horses bowed their backs, clinging to the war horses, and in the smoke and dust, there was a trance of fine light flickering, bowstring vibration, He Chong shouted, two thousand light horses were immediately divided into two columns of cones and spread out, so that the casualties could be minimized, and the impact of the light horses could also be maintained.
"Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh..."
With a flash of bright light, the feather arrows whistled and galloped, and when the light horse rushed to a mile in front of the smoke and dust, several huge arrows and crossbows were shot out, such sharp utensils were enough to penetrate the cavalry and the war horse at the same time, and in an instant, dozens of horses around He Chong fell down in response, and those Xia soldiers and men did not even make a scream, and disappeared into the countless horses' hooves.
"Damn it!"
He Chong scolded angrily, but the enemy had the opportunity in hand, and they were passively impacted, how could the damage be small?
After He Chong's more than 1,000 light horsemen rushed through the smoke and dust, in an instant, a rain of arrows fell, and hundreds of Xia horsemen immediately fell off their horses, so greatly dulled the impact of the light horses, and then He Chong saw that in addition to the more than 100 tail soldiers who disturbed the smoke and dust, there were countless barbarian horsemen who were already waiting behind the hills.
With a dull trumpet, the thousands of horsemen rushed up.
Before the Xiaowu Emperor, Jing Yuyin had already known from the chaotic horn that his family was ambushed, and after the Xiangcheng light cavalry just met the northeast arrow rain disturbance, hundreds of barbarian horsemen rushed to the north, these shouting barbarians actually held a continuous crossbow, after a shock projectile, the battalion outside the Xiaowu Emperor immediately fell sideways, the crying and cursing made people crazy, and then, the remaining light cavalry that stabilized the army was once again divided into a team to meet up.
"Your Highness, the matter has come to this, you must retreat to Yancheng immediately, and withdraw as much as you can!"
Yang Mao had already guessed the wind flow under the whirlpool from the combo crossbow attack just now, but the situation was urgent, and he had no time to say more, but he didn't know that a feather arrow that passed by just now almost killed him.
But Jing Yuyin, as the prince of the army, knows very well that the defeat is terrible, and now Emperor Xiaowu is barely able to maintain a certain order and counterattack ability under the suppression of the head camp and the generals of Hexi, if it is defeated, how can the two legs run too long to be ambushed by the cavalry?
"Jin Yu, take the personal guards of the headquarters to suppress the Chinese army, and the other light horses, follow me!"
As a last resort, Jing Yuyin can only take risks and stabilize his position with a brave counterattack, as long as he can suppress the fear and chaos caused by the attack, he will be able to win more than half, and no matter how bad it is, he will not be wiped out.
In the ranks of the Xiaowu Emperor's army, the palace guard Zhonglang general Geng Liao is constantly shouting, and the men of the guard battalion and the supervising military camp have cut down a lot of panicked soldiers at this time, and it is strange to say that this Nanqiu Town is south of Yancheng, and the barbarian cavalry has just beaten the Blue Wolf Fort north of the Liao River, why did it suddenly appear here, didn't the people of Yancheng and Liaoyuan Army find it? Let them go straight in? It's hard to figure out.
When Jing Yuyin pressed up with light horses, trying in vain to gain time with Emperor Xiaowu to fight back with the whole army, there was a whining horn sound in the south of them, that is, in the direction behind them.
