Chapter 162: Unexpected
"Captain, reinforcements are coming!"
The soldiers of the expedition who held out for two days wept with joy and dragged their tired bodies to stand on the city wall to congratulate each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Ji, Yu Feng and the others hurriedly ran up to the city wall, looking at the camp of the Ya people who shouted to kill the heavens, as well as the white dragon Xuandi flag unique to the Andong Tang Army, and the blue-background Xuangui flag that marked the Xuanwu Guard.
"Hahaha......" Liu Ji patted the wooden railing and laughed: "When the reinforcements arrive, why don't you go out of the city with me to chase the poor?" ”
"We are willing to go out of the city with the captain to fight the poor ......"
In the past two days, the city gate, which had not been opened since the siege of the city by the Tatar people, slowly opened, revealing more than 40 cavalrymen who were ready to go.
Liu Ji took the lead and led the soldiers who were extremely aggrieved in the city and could still fight across horses to kill the chaotic Tatar camp.
More than 1,000 people were overwhelmed by the 800 cavalry of the Tang Army who suddenly killed from the left and right coasts of the hill behind the camp, causing them to be unable to find their own leader and fight on their own.
Two battalions of the Tang Army, 1,600 men immediately behind the cavalry, joined the battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield reversed sharply.
Inferior in weaponry themselves, the Tatars were overwhelmed in the blink of an eye when they were outnumbered and wore the iron-clad steel knives they coveted.
The iron knife in his hand only relied on the strength of the chopping force to repel the Tang soldiers wearing the foot armor, but failed to cut through the iron armor and injured his life, and was stabbed to death by several Tang soldiers in an instant.
The timid people fled for their lives in a panic, but the Tang cavalry galloped across their camps, and before they could run far, they were cut down to the ground by the Tang cavalry they encountered.
"Where are our cavalry?" Abnok roared, calling out to the warriors of the tribe to come and protect him.
The two divisions also brought more than 400 cavalry, but the camp was full of enemy cavalry, and their own cavalry was surrounded and killed by enemy cavalry when they saw a few horses.
The whole camp was rushed by the enemy, and I saw that most of the hundreds of cavalry were killed by the enemy cavalry as soon as they stepped on their horses, and more enemy infantry rushed out of the forest afterwards.
The number of people is not superior, the weapons and armor are not superior, and they are scattered by the enemy's surprise attack when the whole army is eating, and this battle cannot be fought.
He had to take his guards to find a way to flee left and right, and when he met his own warriors, he gathered them to protect himself.
Ren Qiang led a battalion of his soldiers and horses into the camp, killing several people along the way, but in this battlefield where he shouted and killed the sky, he heard a strange wah-wow scream, showing anger and horror.
Looking for prestige, I happened to see a middle-aged Tatar man wearing a tiger skin hat with a frightened look on his face, yelling at the surroundings non-stop, and people in the chaos kept approaching him.
"It's a big fish!" Ren Qiang guessed, regardless of whether he was a big fish or not, it would be a deacant officer level anyway, and if he slaughtered it, he might still be a chief.
"Follow me, go and chop up that Dongyu." Ren Qiang led the guards towards Abnok.
Abnock was reminded by his subordinates that when he saw Ren Qiang who was killing him, the other party's eyes were as sharp as the hunters in the forest worried about their prey.
"The warriors of the Funebe are killing him......"
Feeling threatened for his life, Abnok shouted frantically and ordered the tribal warriors around him to intercept the enemy.
The two teams of centaurs opened their fierce eyes and instantly rushed together.
In order to protect the leader, the people of the Yan Tatar also fought to the death, fighting to the death with Ren Qiangling's personal guards.
Suddenly, an iron spear stabbed at Ren Qiang, and when there was no way to avoid it, the iron armor on his body stubbornly blocked the fatal blow.
The force on the iron spear was not small, and the pain in the abdomen was trembling.
Nuofei Ren Qiang is a captain, a guard, and there are only three captains in the army, wearing a good Mingguangbu armor. This spear went down, and ordinary soldiers were seriously injured if they were either killed. ,
Ren Qiang was furious, and with a single sword, he separated the iron knife that was slashing at him, and slashed the two people who blocked his vision.
Seeing that one blow would not die, the man holding the iron spear stabbed again, how could Ren Qiang be hit again, he quickly grabbed the iron spear, jumped forward, and stabbed the horizontal knife in his hand into the opponent's chest hatefully.
In the desperate eyes of the Yan Ya people, Ren Qiang pulled out the horizontal knife, and a cavity of blood gushed out, making the blood stains on Ren Qiang's body a little thicker.
With a quick knife to cut off the head of the Tatar people, Ren Qiang looked at Abnok who gave the oath with satisfaction.
Seeing that the warriors who protected him were slaughtered, Abnok looked panicked and helpless, and shouted and held a rare steel knife in his headquarters to kill Ren Qiang.
"Humph!" Ren Qiang's contemptuous flash, and before Abnok could come back to his senses, Ren Qiang's knife fell.
A blood was sprinkled on the ground, and a good head fell to the ground with a headless corpse.
"Pick up his head, maybe he'll be a leader."
Ren Qiang's guards grabbed Abnok's dead head and followed Ren Qiang to kill in other directions.
"The captain is not good, and a team of people has killed our city wall."
"What?" When the reinforcements arrived, Liu Ji, who led the team out of the city to fight and fight with the reinforcements on both sides, was shocked when he heard this.
The warriors in the city all went out with him, leaving behind more than a dozen wounded soldiers, as well as hundreds of captured women, girls and children.
After Liu Ji and the others went out to fight, the rear door was wide open, and they never thought that some of the people wanted to escape from behind them.
The peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it is two miles away from the opposite shore of the southeast sea, and it is now in the middle of spring, the sea water is very cold, and it is difficult for normal people to swim two miles to the other side, which can be described as a dead end.
However, Liu Ji retreated by sea in case he could not hold on without reinforcements, and prepared a lot of rafts on the west coast of the peninsula, so that they would no longer be dead ends.
"Go back!" Liu Ji shouted, leading his subordinates to prepare to leave the battlefield and go back to rescue, but the camp of the Tatar people had already been a melee, and it was so easy to get out.
It was Nuo Gejiao who rushed to Liu Ji's rear, and when he entered this wooden city wall where they had suffered more than 300 casualties in two days, Nuo Gejiao was full of emotion.
As for the wounded soldiers of the more than ten expeditions left in the city, they had already been slaughtered by the hateful Nuo Gejiao and his people, and a dozen people were frantically slashed by more than 70 people, and none of them had a complete corpse.
More than 400 people were also found captive in the city, and Nuo Gejiao saw that there were only young women and children under the age of ten among the captives, and their eyes were fierce and terrifying.
When they saw their loved ones still alive, the clansmen hugged each other and wept.
The peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the only way out is to be completely blocked by the enemy.
Nuo Gejiao led his people to fight and kill, and there were only more than 70 of the more than 100 remaining tribal warriors.
Forced to do so, Nogajiao saw that the gates of the wall, which they had attacked for two days without breaking it, were opened, and there were almost no defenders on the city.
In the realm of death, Nuo Gejiao had to lead his people to kill the city wall, and he could survive for a while after leaving the battlefield, and he might be able to find a way to live.
"Chief, we found more than a dozen rafts to the west, and we have been saved!"
The tribesmen sent to investigate the situation on the peninsula came back in a hurry.
Nuo Gejiao and hundreds of people were overjoyed, and hurried to the beach, and sure enough, more than a dozen rafts that had not been set up for a long time were placed on the beach. Nuo Jiao instantly figured out that this was a trap, and it was he who brought the clansmen into the trap.
When Liu Ji led the soldiers to leave the battlefield and rush back to the city, he saw the corpses of more than a dozen of his companions who were about to turn into rotten meat.
"Ah......" Liu Ji was crazy with hatred, and the soldiers shouted with hatred. There was no time to rein in the corpse, and more than forty horsemen rushed to chase after the direction in which the mitage had left.
The sound of horses' hooves reached the shore, and hundreds of people panicked and rushed to get on the rafts.
There were only seventeen rafts, and when Liu Ji ordered the rafting, he only considered the number of rafts that could carry the expedition across the sea, and he could only carry more than eighty people away.
There were still more than 70 warriors of his own tribe left around Nuo Gejiao, and the raft could not carry away the women and children who had just been rescued. With a heartbeat, he took only ten young women from among the women and children, and ordered all the warriors to board the raft and leave, and threw them ashore despite the prayers of the women and children.
Without women, women can be snatched from other tribes and still give birth to the blood of their own clan, but without men, the southern branch of the Funi tribe will really be wiped out.
Nogajiao, who was getting farther and farther away from the coast, thought. experienced a series of setbacks such as three defeats, clan breakdown, and the killing of his father. Nuo's horn heart is more tenacious, and he is no longer the young leader who was brave and uninhibited, greedy and brainless half a month ago.
Liu Ji led his troops to the west coast where the raft was parked, but it was still too late, and the people who killed his subordinates finally escaped with the raft they had prepared for their lives.
Zhang Cai was furious, pointing at the people on the raft and scolding. Zeng Xiong and the others spread their hatred on the women and children who failed to escape, especially when they learned that the escaped people were still their blood relatives. The revenge of the expedition soldiers was staged on the coast, and more than 400 women, children and children who were left behind were killed by the angry soldiers.
"On another day, I will kill you to avenge today's revenge!"
Liu Ji's eyes were cold and cruel, staring closely at the people carried on the raft that was getting farther and farther away from the sea.
