Chapter 244: Courtyard of the Heart (3)

Chapter 245: Fuxin Courtyard (3)

Huo Dong commanded his sergeants and the Zhuang Ding of Vanke Villa to abandon the gate of the villa, the gate of the villa is important, but it is not easy to defend, especially when the troops are extremely disadvantaged. The gate of the villa is almost at the foot of the mountain, the terrain is relatively flat, and it is easy for the enemy to go around the flank and rear to attack, and once the situation is unfavorable, the wide square behind the gate, and the large and sparse functional buildings in the outermost circle, are not conducive to the preservation of troops and gradual defense.

The second major gate is due to the consideration of ensuring the quiet and elegance of the villa, which is also due to the topography of the mountain itself, although it is not as tall and majestic as the gate, but the narrow terrain is relatively easy to defend. The width of the road, which can only allow one carriage to pass, is more peaceful than the gate where three carriages can enter and exit side by side. Huo Dong had a total of 200 people, and he divided more than 100 people to defend this heavy gate, leaving 30 people as a reserve force just in case, and asked Zhao Yan to take the rest of the troops to block the back door of the villa. Even if there are enemies climbing in those areas, the number of people will not be very large, as long as someone warns in time, it is expected that there will be no major problems. In the case of a shortage of troops, it can only be arranged like this for the time being.

For the cooperation of the "friendly forces", Ye Tao naturally reciprocated. On the one hand, joint operations are conducive to his mastery of various situations, and on the other hand, the abilities of these people under Ye Tao may be able to play a miraculous effect.

Two light ballistas and a hundred small canisters of fire and oil bombs were pulled to the second major gate, which was quickly erected and aimed at the mountain road. The light ballista didn't weigh much, and the two guards carried it and left, although this kind of light ballista didn't have the three-person gun crew to change the target very easily, but the extra effort was just two people to reposition the ballista. And two ballistas and those fire oil bombs, can play a combat effectiveness. And the confidence that can be brought to those Chunnan guards is immeasurable. There were a total of ten people carrying ballistas and shells, plus a sharpshooter Zheluo, which was all the forces that Ye Tao sent to the second major gate.

However, it was not the people in the villa who first opened the battlefield, or the gang members of the Golden Tribulation Gang who had just discovered that the gate of the villa had been quietly evacuated unconsciously, nor was it Fu Chong's department who was already determined to attack the mountain at this moment. It was an elite cavalry detachment of one hundred and twenty-nine people personally led by Xu Yao, the current deputy commander of the Jingyun Cavalry. Xu Yao followed Tan Weiran to do things, and his family also has some backgrounds, although no one has a very high official position in the court, but the history of the Xu family in Dongping is even longer than Dongping itself, as long as he does not commit any rebellion or the like, no one can do anything to Xu Yao. As soon as the order for the latter attack was issued, Xu Yao automatically defaulted to allowing the action to be taken. As for the posterior, no one can come and give the order. Although Fu Chong's attack can be regarded as the first action, Fu Chong's attack can also be explained by the obvious attack posture of Fu Chong's army speeding up and marching towards Mount Zhendai. So, Xu Yao honestly and unceremoniously attacked first.

What kind of combat effectiveness can one hundred and twenty-nine people exert? Xu Yao still has a bottom in his heart. Indeed, as Ye Tao expected, at night, in fact, these elite cavalry took advantage of it. They have better war horses. More well-prepared armor, sharper weapons, more accurate bows and crossbows, and even more stable arrows were obscured by the sound of Fu Chong's march. They crept into the woods by the roadside, and after two rounds of bow and arrow and one round of crossbow arrows, they launched an attack on Fu Chong's troops, which numbered as many as 2,000 men......

What was it like to concentrate the elite cavalry troops of the Tieyun Cavalry, the Jingyun Cavalry, the Blood Qi Army, and the Forbidden Army to launch an assault on a local garrison that was mainly infantry and only officers and personal soldiers were qualified to ride on horseback? Refreshing is no longer enough to describe this feeling. In fact, after three rounds of shooting, there were very few officers and personal soldiers who could still ride on horseback. Xu Yao commanded this small cavalry team like a knife cutting cheese, and it was effortlessly inserted from the oblique side into the center of Fu Chong's department, stirred for a while, and then flew away. Only eleven fighters were wounded in the first attack. Not a single one died.

In the face of this elusive and powerful cavalry, Fu Chong had no way at all. Unexpectedly, before Xu Yao's cavalry team launched the second round of attacks, he actually turned his heart on the side and ordered to advance at full speed to the foot of Zhendai Mountain to meet the people of the Golden Robbery Gang. The dashing attack just now made Fu Chong frightened, and he desperately wanted to gather more people and use more troops to dispel the possibility of the cavalry attacking again.

As a general in command of the army. Fu Chong's heart was in a mess. But it left Xu Yao with a chance. Xu Yao was not even willing to rush into Fu Chongdi's queue again, for fear that the enemy sergeants who had already been mentally prepared would rather pay a considerable price than drag the cavalry down. The typical cavalry archers played for this cavalry. It's really easy to master. Although Fu Chong's subordinates also had a team of archers, they had no choice but to be targeted by Xu Yao after only one salvo. And the team of archers under Fu Chong, after all, is a local garrison force, the bow used is very ordinary, and the arrows used are the cheapest kind, compared with the black eagle arrows that Xu Yao and they begged for in the camp of the Blood Qi Army, they cannot be compared in terms of accuracy, stability or lethality. Although a salvo made the cavalry team a little scrambling, and several soldiers and horses were slightly injured, Xu Yao also judged the range of Fu Chong's archers, and they were stuck outside the range of the archers, and threw them round by round. Fu Chong just watched this cavalry that came out of nowhere and adorned him, showing off his might behind him, but there was no way at all. Fortunately, they are very, very close to the mountains of the Dai. Fu Chong is not a complete straw bag, he ordered a cavalry squad to launch a counterattack, although he almost did not achieve any results, and it can even be regarded as sending food to Xu Yao's cavalry team, but Fu Chong relied on this little time to finally meet with the people of the Golden Robbery Gang.

As soon as the two sides met, they occupied the gate that had been evacuated by Zhuang Ding and Huo Dong's troops, and immediately launched an attack on the second major gate. And the gangs scattered around also began to climb halfway up the mountain, climbed over the outermost courtyard wall, and entered the territory of the villa. But everyone was told that the target was only Fuxinyuan, and that if there was harm to unrelated people, they would be severely punished. This very strange order was carried out by all the gangs. On the one hand, the Golden Robbery Gang was originally an organization that constrained the gang with doctrine and mystery, and attached great importance to the authority of the leader, on the other hand, Liu Yong's threat just now is still echoing in everyone's ears. Who is Liu Yong? Others don't know, but these people are gangsters, and for a guy like Liu Yong, a big master, the former head of the Dongping Palace guard, and has always been considered one of the people with the highest martial arts in the world now, even if the situation is worse, he should be able to escape. And if a powerful and capable person like Liu Yong says that he wants to take revenge, then revenge will inevitably come. What's more, it was Ye Tao who was surrounded in the villa - one of the most powerful ministers in the powerful Dongping - if he could really take the Fuxin Courtyard today, Dongping would definitely have no reason not to retaliate in the future. So, whether it is to leave a way back for themselves or other considerations, everyone has acquiesced to one: only fight the heart courtyard.

Fu Chong's subordinates had just experienced an extremely embarrassing battle, and at this moment, hundreds of people were dispatched to hold the gate of the villa, and Xu Yao's cavalry team behind them was far away. Before urging his subordinates to attack the mountain, Fu Chong first had to figure out how heavy the losses were just now. Fortunately, Gui Weiyun, the leader of the Golden Robbery Gang, did not urge Fu Chong to help. There are only so many places that can attack, and if there are too many people, it is useless for the time being, and there is no way to carry it out.

However, not long after Gui Weiyun had just let his subordinate hall master lead his brothers to attack, they saw more than two hundred people rushing to the Erzhong Mountain Gate more than a hundred steps away in a dense formation with surging killing intent, and with two booms, two fire oil bombs fell on the crowd and exploded. Two flames enveloped more than a dozen people, and the splashes of hot debris made the surroundings empty in an instant.

Gui Weiyun is also a gang boss who fights ruthlessly on the rivers and lakes, at most, he does some liaison and espionage and other things, he has never seen the huge power of this heavy ordnance, and he was instantly stunned. And Fu Chong is also trembling, it seems that if you don't pay a heavy price today, you won't want to take the Fuxin Courtyard. Ye Tao, the world's first craftsman, actually came to Chunnan to "visit" with ballistas and fire oil bombs?

"Envoy...... This ......" Gui Weiji looked helplessly at the mysterious man standing behind him. The mysterious man said in a low voice that only he could hear: "As soon as the matter is over tonight, you will go back to Xiling with me." Do you still care about things here? ”

Gui Weiyun turned his heart sideways and said, "I understand." Even if you put the brothers together, you must give people and things to the envoys. ”

"Gui Gang Master," Fu Chong sighed, "I'll let my subordinates go up with your people." This scene of military struggle is more familiar to my people. ”

Gui Weiyun arched his hand and said gratefully, "Thank you so much." ”

The mysterious man who had been standing behind Gui Weiyi raised his hand, and suddenly headed towards the mountain with a group of people who looked very strong.

"Envoy...... Where are you going? ”

Gui Weiyun's eager inquiry did not get any answer, and Gui Weiyun, who was worried about the safety of the envoy, hurriedly assigned two hall masters to attack with his subordinates. The so-called envoy and his men did not foolishly rush straight to the second gate, but used their agility to burrow into the woods on both sides of the road, as if to organize a surprise attack.
