Chapter 399: Li Zhen, Reinforcements, Where?
King Yan is really fast!
With him came three thousand whirlwind rides.
The reorganized whirlwind ride, under the command of King Yan, may not be as powerful as the whirlwind ride in the past, but the whirlwind ride is always a whirlwind ride.
Only those who face the whirlwind ride will know what kind of iron-blooded lion this is.
——————
Three thousand people, the order is forbidden, and the cold smell released from the body is really not to be approached.
Even if it was Xu Laoer, when he saw the three thousand whirlwind rides, he felt very tricky, and he thought in his heart that if he encountered the whirlwind rides, he would have a few percent chance of winning.
Whirlwind cavalry, but not Northern Barbarian cavalry.
Although the Northern Barbarians are brave, they lack organization and discipline, and their own equipment cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention anything else, the Tang Dynasty soldiers, as long as they are not detained from armaments, are the basic operation of a family of crossbows.
If there was a crossbow in hand on the Beiban side, Xu Lao Er would not dare to rush into other people's military formations alone, no matter how brave he was.
In fact, the Northern Barbarians were not without repeaters.
Over the years, the Beiban has also gotten a lot of ordnance from the Tang Dynasty, including crossbows. The problem is that in order to use repeaters, you have to have enough crossbow arrows.
Then, the problem arises.
Although the creation of crossbow arrows is not troublesome, the Tang Dynasty crossbow uses a crossbow box, and all crossbow arrows must meet the standards before they can be used in the same crossbow box, otherwise, they will be stuck.
In addition, the range of the repeater is really not very far, and when the crossbow is used up, he has to buy it again from the Tang Dynasty, which makes the Northern Barbarian King feel that some people are fooling him for a fool. Therefore, it was also regarded as a weapon like chicken ribs by the Northern Barbarian King. After several trials, the repeater was shelved.
Repeaters, things are good things.
But Beiban does not have the production conditions for mass use, and in the end it can only make this thing a chicken rib.
But at Datang, that's not a problem at all.
Three thousand whirlwind riders, not only everyone is equipped with repeaters, but also the crossbow boxes in front of them can be replaced at any time, not to mention the crossbow boxes that have been emptied. If you encounter a local arrow, the crossbow box in front of you is equivalent to an extra layer of armor.
It's just that because of the many crossbow boxes hanging on his body, the requirements for the whirlwind to ride on his hands are much higher.
Otherwise, such a murderous person as Guan Ting would not have been brushed down in the original Whirlwind Rider selection.
"I've seen my cousin!"
King Yan entered a courtyard in the Huangfengkou Pass, and when he saw Old Man Xu sitting in the courtyard, his expression was also a little dignified.
"Li Zhen, do you remember what I said at the beginning?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Old Man Xu speak, King Yan was stunned, not knowing what Old Man Xu was referring to.
"Looks like you've forgotten!"
Old Man Xu smiled, "Also, if you, His Royal Highness King Yan, how can you remember the words of a grass folk like me?" ”
"Why did my cousin say that?"
As soon as King Yan heard Old Man Xu's words, he knew that Old Man Xu was holding back the anger in his heart, "Today's change is something I didn't expect. I thought that the Northern Barbarian King had withdrawn his troops, but I didn't expect him to attack the Yellow Wind Outlet before leaving. ”
Murder of the son!
Or two sons!
The Northern Barbarian King wants revenge, he should think of it.
But because the Northern Barbarians retreated, he was worried that the Northern Barbarian King would kill the horse pistol, so he didn't think of this layer.
"It's my fault!"
"All the Xiangyi Mansion town troops who died in battle, the imperial court will give generous compensation!"
"Fart!"
Old Man Xu directly overturned the table in front of him.
"Generous compensation, people die, how do you care for it, is it useful?"
"At the beginning, I said that if the 5,000 town troops of my Xiangyi Mansion guarded the Huangfeng Pass and fought without help, if I didn't die, I would kill the Qiantian Palace and slaughter the Dog Emperor!"
"I ask you, where are the reinforcements?"
Old Man Xu grabbed the spear on the ground, swept at King Yan with one shot, and shot mercilessly.
King Yan only had time to block with his sword.
It's just that one side attacked first, and the other side was caught off guard, and Yan Wang, who was already as strong as Old Man Xu, was directly pulled out by Old Man Xu's shot.
"Li Zhen, you tell me!"
"Reinforcements, where?"
When he came to Huangfengkou, even if he had won two consecutive battles with Xu Laoer, Old Man Xu still sent someone to send a message to the Northwest Town Army Camp, asking for additional reinforcements.
Why reinforcements?
Because the town army of Xiangyi Mansion was only a town army defending the city before, and they had never experienced a battle in person.
Even after coming to Huangfengkou, Old Man Xu practiced them ruthlessly, but in such a short period of time, what can he practice?
It is nothing more than to let them have the ability to face the Northern Barbarian cavalry, so that they will not collapse at the first touch.
In the previous battle, Old Man Xu was actually mentally prepared to fight alone. However, none of the 5,000 cavalry from Xiangyi Mansion fled.
5,000 people, more than 4,000 killed.
Such a ratio of battle losses, if any other army is replaced, would have long since collapsed.
However, none of the 5,000 town troops from Xiangyi Mansion fled.
On the battlefield, Old Man Xu didn't hear their words.
The words are very simple, that is, to take people's money and eliminate disasters for people.
The 5,000 town troops of Xiangyi Mansion went to war, including the 1,000 eight-ox crossbows, all of which were exchanged for Fubao's dowry silver.
To put it mildly, these 5,000 town soldiers have sold their lives to the old Xu family from the moment they stepped out of Xiangyi Mansion.
But even so, Old Man Xu was still uneasy.
They should not have died.
At least don't die so much!
Compared with the Northern Barbarian cavalry, these cavalry from Xiangyi Mansion are more like farmers who have just learned to fight on horseback.
Doesn't Datang have cavalry that can fight?
Xu Lao Er destroyed the little prince Tuoba Hun and captured 20,000 war horses, why did Old Man Xu sell them directly to King Yan, that is, he hoped that King Yan would have 20,000 war horses and be able to send thousands of soldiers and horses to Huangfengkou.
