Chapter 332: Entanglement
Hu Qi on the opposite side was furious after hearing the words of the translator, in Shangrao County, no force dared to provoke them, and no one dared to provoke Yuwentai's tiger whiskers. Even in Youzhou, all forces are quite polite to Yuwentai.
Needless to say, Liu Yu took a lot of care of the Hu people as early as when he was in power, among which Yuwentai was the worst, and after the outbreak of the Red Clothes Rebellion, the Wudou Mi Sect was also very polite to Yuwentai, even if Tian Million saw Yuwentai, he had to be called the lord of Yuwen City.
Because of this, Yuwentai's subordinates are arrogant, and whenever a caravan passing through Shangrao County, these scouts will use the excuse that the other party is unknown, and suddenly attack them, rob goods and kill people. Even if you encounter some thieves, the other party will run away with their butts between them, how dare they fight them head-on.
This group of Hu scouts is like a group of uncles in Shangrao County, they are used to being powerful and prosperous on weekdays, how could they have imagined that Su Yi would despise them so much. was furious at the moment, and regardless of the difference in numbers, he directly shot arrows at Su Yi's team.
After Zhou Fei got the order, he kept holding the bow handle, staring sharply at the team of Hu cavalry, almost at the same time as they were pulling together to shoot arrows, Zhou Fei raised his hand and shot an arrow. The arrow screeched and almost tore through the air, and an arrow pierced the throat of one of the Hu riders.
Gao Heihu used the mace to isolate the arrows flying from the opposite side, and the wrestler army under his command bore the brunt, except for two who were unlucky enough to be shot in the arm by the arrow, the rest of them used the mace to separate the flying arrows.
The guards under Su Yi's command were also led by Zhou Fei, and they shot towards the opposite side in unison, and there were many guards, and after a round of down, five or six horses fell on the opposite side. The rest changed color one after another, how dare they entangle with Su Yi's side, and flee with a horse.
These Hu cavalry shouted for help as they fled, and the other Hu scouts patrolling around rushed here one after another.
Su Yi saw this. He sighed and said, "Today's battle seems to be inevitable. He didn't want to have a conflict with Yuwentai's subordinates, according to his plan, he was preparing to attack the Huren cottage in the Zongheng Mountain Range when Gongsun Yiqing attacked Baihu Village, luring Yuwentai to send troops to rescue, and naturally did not want to have any conflict with Yuwentai at this moment. Fear of interfering with the implementation of the plan.
Of course, Su Yi came to explore the city fortifications of Shangrao County this time, and he was also calculating the possibility of attacking Shangrao County, Yuwentai has been operating in Shangrao County for many years, although his strength is strong, but he is not without weaknesses.
At the very least, the fortifications of Shangrao County are not very good, and they are not even as good as Shangjun County, but even so, there are no heavy weapons for siege. If you want to take such a city, it will cost a lot of money.
Su Yi didn't like to attack fortified positions, so the loss was too great, and if it was possible, he hoped to lure the enemy out of the city and then annihilate it. For the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and the Wudou Mi Sect, it was difficult to lure them out of the city, but Yuwentai was different. The best fighters under his command are the Rangers.
And the advantage of the rangers is the open area of the wild.
Zhou Fei quickly led his guards up to meet the Hu scouts, while the rest of the cavalry was led by Lu Feng. Kill the Hu rangers who were cut into several pieces.
The cavalry trained by Lu Feng is very elite, and they are well-equipped, so they are no longer inferior to the regular troops of the imperial court, and the personal guards led by Zhou Fei are all crystal clear, with outstanding archery skills, and are good at guerrilla. The melee ability is also outstanding.
Yuwentai's Hu Qi was originally a rare elite in Youzhou, but all along, Yuwentai was arrogant and domineering in Shangrao County, and they also followed no one in their eyes, and over time they developed an arrogant and domineering character. In addition to the enemies they encountered, as soon as they saw Yuwentai's banner, they immediately ran away.
Therefore, the strength of these Hu Qiqi has long since regressed compared to the beginning.
The two sides suddenly met, and these Hu cavalry were caught off guard.
This is a contest between cavalry, the wrestlers under the command of Gao Heihu and the infantry led down the mountain by Su Yi have no effect at all, they can only stick in place, constantly harassing the Hu cavalry.
However, the cavalry led by Lu Feng and Zhou Fei were in the melee, but they could always hide on the side of the infantry phalanx to seek protection. More than half of these already divided Hu cavalry were killed or wounded, and on Su Yi's side, only five horses fell off their horses.
This is because Hu Qi's archery skills are barely outstanding.
Su Yi ordered the infantry to stand by to prevent an enemy army from coming out of Shangrao County, after all, this was within Yuwentai's sphere of influence, and the scuffle outside the city would not be long before it reached Yuwentai's ears.
And it is unlikely that Su Yi wants to fight quickly, although these Hu cavalry are not as effective as Lu Feng and others, they also know that they will entangle Su Yi's team and prevent Su Yi from leading the army to evacuate, in order to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Shangrao County.
Seeing that it was difficult to kill these Hu cavalry for a while, Su Yi immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and Zhou Fei led the guards to the palace, and the rest of the soldiers and horses withdrew to the county seat one after another. Sure enough, Hu Qi saw Su Yi's side slowly retreating, and immediately stepped forward to entangle.
Seeing this, Zhou Fei's eyes were cold, and he shot several Hu cavalry in a row, which stabilized the situation, and the personal guards under his command also took this opportunity to shoot those Hu cavalry who were desperately entangled.
The battle only happened in an instant, and the number of scouts outside the city of the Hu people was not as large as that of Su Yi's side, so the two sides naturally had no advantage when they fought.
But Su Yi wanted to withdraw, and these scouts were desperately entangled, for fear of letting them escape.
It was not a long time from the beginning of the battle to the retreat of Su Yi and the army, and the Hu people in Shangrao County had not yet reacted, if they had been entangled with those scouts outside Shangrao County, they were afraid that they would drag them to Yuwentai's army to kill, and then the gains would outweigh the losses.
Yuwentai is a tyrant in Shangrao County, and the soldiers and horses under his command can fight well, if they fall into a melee, with their geographical advantages, the soldiers and horses under the command of Yuwentai may not be able to defeat Su Yi's side.
For the sake of prudence, Su Yi hurriedly ordered his subordinates to withdraw to Shangjun, and at the same time sent more than a dozen cavalry to Shangjunxian to inform Ma Bin first, in case they suddenly returned to Shangjun County and were attacked by defenders who did not know the truth.
Zhou Fei took the guards to the rear, and after repelling the two teams of Hu cavalry, he led the guards to catch up with Su Yi's rear team.
When he was young, Shangrao County really killed the cavalry of the brigade, but at this time, Su Yi had already led people to evacuate the territory of Shangrao County, at this time the situation in Youzhou was chaotic, and Yuwentai's subordinates did not dare to kill out of Shangrao County's sphere of influence at will, so they could only watch Su Yi and others evacuate.
And the orderly retreat of Su Yi's side obviously surprised the other party, they had lived in Youzhou for a long time, and knew that even the officers and soldiers of Youzhou could not retreat in such an orderly manner in the melee.
The leader of the scouts smashed his bow and arrows to the ground in hatred, and said in nonsense: "It seems that the enemy this time is different from the one encountered before!" (To be continued.) )
