Chapter 627: Fierce Battle

Wang Qi is not well-known among the generals of the Dingzhou Army, but he is famous in the special service, and Yao Changfeng is unknown whether he is in the army or in the special service, but he can sit in Wang Qi's deputy position, and he is naturally not incompetent, otherwise Wang Qi would not let him lead a team alone and echo with himself.

It has been fifteen days since entering the grassland, and in addition to the blue sky, white clouds and green grass, only one or two small tribes can only be seen occasionally, and some tribes even have only dozens or hundreds of people, and these poor herdsmen are surprised to see the arrival of such a caravan, and they are surprised to take out a lot of fur and cheese that have accumulated in the tent in exchange for some necessities, and in the past six months, it has hardly been seen that the caravan has entered the grassland.

From the nervous tension when they entered the grassland, the soldiers had begun to relax, and seeing these extremely poor herdsmen, the soldiers even doubted how Qin Ming and the others survived in such a place, even if they robbed it, they couldn't grab anything. A team of more than 1,000 people, if you want to make a living and maintain combat effectiveness, the cost is not a small amount, especially the war horses under the crotch, just grass is not enough, there is no food to beat the fat, it will not be long before these war horses will be skinny and unbearable.

The soldiers relaxed, Yao Changfeng didn't dare, he was always cautious every day, he knew very well that for a general like Qin Ming, if he was not careful, it would be the end of being crushed. What's more, he is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops.

The long convoy stepped up a small hill, said to be a hill, but it was only a dozen meters higher than the flat land, the soldiers suddenly burst into a burst of cheers, a winding river like a jade belt, wrapped in the middle of the grassland, and like a pearl embedded in the green grassland, shining in the sun, people can not help but feel relaxed and happy at first sight. On the side of the river, several herdsmen were washing their horses by the river, and when they heard the cheers on the opposite side, they saw such a large group of people and horses, and they seemed a little panicked, grabbed the horse's mane, turned over and got on the horse, and fled in a panic in the neighing of the horse, and the embarrassed posture made everyone laugh again. Yao Changfeng frowned, looking thoughtfully at the direction in which the other party had fled.

"Ada!" Yao Changfeng called. Ada is a Bai soldier who used to be a captain of Eagle Yang in the Hanwei Battalion and now serves as a squad leader in the Special Brigade.

"Captain Yao!" Ada Zema rushed to Yao Changfeng's side.

"How's these guys going?" Yao Changfeng asked.

Ada narrowed his eyes, looked at the riders who were gradually moving away, and said, "It's very good, it seems very casual to be able to maintain such a speed on a bareback warhorse, and even Yu Yao looks back at us, and his equestrian skills are quite good." If it was in the past, it would have been a good warrior among our people. ”

"Then why did they run away when they saw us? Still deliberately looking so flustered? Yao Changfeng asked.

"Xu yes, Xu is scared!" Ada was a little ashamed, in the past few years, the barbarians had indeed been beaten by the Dingzhou army. Seeing the performance of the clansmen, he couldn't raise his head a little.

"Not really." Yao Changfeng shook his head, turned around and pointed to the flag planted on the long convoy, and the flag of the Qiyu Trading Company was fluttering in the wind, "If they will run away when they see the flag of the Dingzhou Army, then they will also be scared away by the flag of a small trading company?" ”

Ada's upper body straightened up suddenly, his military literacy was not bad, and he was not incompetent if he could be a captain in the Hanwei Battalion.

"Captain, you mean?"

"They're spies, and someone is beating our idea." Yao Changfeng said in a condensed voice.

"Qin Ming?" Ada tensed.

"I don't know, these people are from the grassland, not the palace guards, this is easy to tell, but Qin Ming has been on the grassland for so long, and it is not difficult to recruit some wandering soldiers on the grassland!" Yao Changfeng said.

"What are we going to do?"

Yao Changfeng held a horsewhip in his hand, pointed ahead, and said, "If they are really spies, I'm sure there must be a trap waiting for us ahead." Hum! Hum! Let them wait there, and we will set up camp. ”

Abbe's eyes lit up, "Captain, we're here waiting for them to fight." ”

Yao Changfeng said with a smile: "Yes, let them wait for a few hours, hehe, the military law is cloudy, one drum is loud, then it declines, and three is exhausted, the ambush soldiers in front of me are probably the time when morale is high, let's let them vent their anger first, go castrated, and when they can't bear it, they will inevitably raise troops to come, and then we will wait for work." ”

"The captain is smart!" Ada laughed.

"Dismount, set up camp, and get ready to eat!" Yao Changfeng jumped off the horse with a smile.

The caravan stopped on the hills, and the carriages were connected together, forming a circle, and the camels crouched behind the carriages, forming a second line of defense, and the soldiers quickly began to dress and put on armor, at this time they were no longer simple leather armor, but a set of refined steel Kai from Dingzhou, light and extremely protective.

More than a dozen strong crossbows were quickly assembled and supported in several gaps in the defensive line, this kind of extremely fast rate of fire used box loading crossbow arrows, a box of ten, is the latest product of the Dingzhou craftsman battalion, and has not yet been equipped with troops.

All the armor-piercing arrows of the Yipingong were inserted into the ground in front of him, and the crossbow filled with crossbow arrows was placed in a place where he could do it. The caravan's most secret weapon was the wagons covered with oily paper, most of which were indeed loaded with tea bricks, salt, and daily necessities, but among these goods, there were several hundred-round crossbows.

As the sun began to set in the west, Yao Changfeng's team stayed on this small hill, and it seemed that they were planning to camp here, and within a few hours, a few groups of poorly dressed grassland herdsmen passed by this small river, and when they saw this huge caravan, they fled like frightened rabbits.

Seeing so many spies coming to inquire in a row, Yao Changfeng was even more convinced of his thoughts.

In the evening, his idea was verified, but when he saw the attacking enemy, Yao Changfeng's face changed again, fuck, it's not Qin Ming, it's actually a nomadic tribe of the grassland, but the number of people is inevitably a little too much, male and female, adding up to thousands of people.

"When did there be such a big tribe on the steppe again?" Yao Changfeng bit it, hating and hating, after the battle of the grassland, the slightly larger tribes were ordered to move to the upper forest, and the rest of the grassland were some stragglers, or some small tribes whose numbers were not enough to arouse the vigilance of Dingzhou.

"Captain, it's not one tribe, it's more than a dozen tribes united." Adafu, who was familiar with the situation of the grassland, sat on the carriage, looked at the situation on the other side, and turned his head to Yao Changfengdao.

Yao Changfeng took a closer look, and somewhat understood, his caravan had been deep for so long, and he was afraid that most of the grassland knew that the small tribe would not be able to eat such a behemoth, so he actually thought of uniting to attack him. Seeing the eager guys on the other side, Yao Changfeng scratched his head in annoyance, "Get ready to fight!" ”

As the sun was about to set, the first attack was finally launched.

Hundreds of cavalry shouted and attacked the hill, and judging by their uniforms, it was clear that they were not of the same tribe. But the combat effectiveness was not bad, and all of them could shoot easily on their horses, and in a moment, the arrows rained down on the small hill and took up their positions.

Picking up a falling feather arrow, Yao Changfeng shook his head, "It's really poor enough." I can't even afford an iron arrowhead. The feather arrow in his hand turned out to be a bone arrow.

Without Yao Changfeng's command, the special combat team members leaned out from behind the carriage, and the Yipin bow opened steadily, and with a crash, the armor-piercing arrow shot out with a whistling sound, and immediately shot down dozens of people running in front.

Compared with the elite weapons on the side of the special combat team, the weapons of the attackers were too rudimentary, and the bone arrows they shot did not pose a threat to the team members at all, and the battle was one-sided from the beginning.

Yao Changfeng relaxed, this kind of combat power was really not worth his trouble.

The attackers did not flinch from the strong blows of the other side, but launched more fierce attacks in waves, and when a scorpion cannon landed on the carriage position, scattering a carriage and scattering tea bricks all over the ground, the attackers were even more vicious, obviously, these things made them more sure that this was indeed a caravan, and it was a caravan with a lot of money.

"Damn, there's actually a scorpion cannon!" Yao Changfeng was surprised.

He found that he clearly underestimated the fight of this group of guys who were probably extremely poor and insane.

Looking at the attackers who rushed up like ants regardless of life and death, seeing the war horses crashing heavily into the carriage and smashing the defense line to the ground, seeing that his team members finally suffered casualties, and seeing the red-eyed attackers on the other side, regardless of life and death, Yao Changfeng's face finally changed.

"Light the wolf smoke and notify the general!"

"Ready!" Yao Changfeng shouted.

On the top of the hill, the raging fire was lit, around the hill, countless torches were lit, the firelight illuminated the radiance within a radius of several miles, the dead corpses were all over the position, the oilcloth on the body of the Baifa crossbow had been torn off, the crossbow arrow mouth of the black hole was ready to go, Yao Changlin carried a war knife, patrolled the position, the carriages in many places had been broken, tea bricks, salt, and countless daily necessities were scattered all over the place.

After the continuous attacks were frustrated, the horse thieves on the opposite side were obviously a little surprised, and in the firelight, Yao Changfeng could clearly see several people with the appearance of the leader gathered together, discussing something.

"If they go up again, use a hundred-shot crossbow!" Ada had several injuries on his body, and walked in front of Yao Changfeng with blood.

Yao Changfeng gritted his teeth, "If you can, you don't need it, as soon as you use a hundred-shot crossbow, fuck, you will know that we are not a caravan on the other side, as soon as they turn around and flee, the news will spread, with Qin Ming's shrewdness, how can he not know what such a Dingzhou army disguised as a caravan is doing when it enters the grassland, he will immediately flee, and it will be difficult for us to find him again." ”
