Maoyuan County is located at the junction of Xiangyi Province and Donglin Province.

Since Xiangyi began to promote government-run carriages, there have been many more merchants traveling between Xiangyi and Donglin.

And the number of tourists who settled in Maoyuan County naturally increased.

Originally, it was just an ordinary small county town, but because of this frequent business and trade exchanges, it suddenly became lively.

On the official road, there is an endless stream of cars and horses coming and going, and there are tea shops on the roadside, and from time to time there are cars and horses stopping to drink a cup of tea and rest.

"The Northern Barbarians are here!"

"Run!"

A terrible shout suddenly came, and several people rode horses and galloped from the direction of Donglin Mansion.

"Run!"

"The Northern Barbarians are here!"

Immediately the knight galloped past, shouting as he ran.

When the merchants, carriages, horses, and pedestrians on the official road heard this shout, they were stunned at first, and then ran madly towards the mountains and forests on both sides of the road.

As for the goods?

At this time, do you need to think about life or money?

In just a moment, the official road that was still lively just now was instantly cleared.

The tea shop on the side of the road is even more messy.

Some ran into the county seat, and some hid in the mountains and forests.

Then, whether it was the people who entered the county town or the people who hid in the mountains and forests, they all felt the earth tremble.

The Northern Barbarians, it's really here!

"Close the gates!"

"Sound the gong!"

Li Dang, the town military captain of Maoyuan County, gave the order as soon as possible.

No one knows how the Northern Barbarians appeared in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but with the town army of a county, it is impossible to stop the thousands of cavalry of the Northern Barbarians.

The only thing they can do is to hold the county seat of Maoyuan.

"Light the wolf smoke!"

Wolf smoke, that is, beacon fire.

Since King Yan guarded the Northland, in the past 20 years, the Northland has never lit wolf smoke.

Now, the wolf smoke is rising again!

Li Dang didn't know why there was no wolf smoke from the north, and he didn't know why the Northern Barbarian cavalry suddenly appeared outside Maoyuan County.

He only knew that if the Northern Barbarians attacked the city, the only way to fight to the death was to fight.

However, the Northern Barbarian cavalry walked around the city from under the county seat of Maoyuan County, all the way to the south.

As soon as he received the letter, Chu Xiuyan of Maoyuan County picked up his sword and went up to the city wall.

"Something is wrong!"

Chu Xiuyan looked at Li Dang next to him, "Captain Li, what do you think this Northern Barbarian is going to do?" ”

"Anshun County!"

Li Dang raised his head suddenly, "Beiban should be going to Anshun County." Yellow tuyere! ”

"Come on, beat the drums!"

"Can't the northern barbarians go to Anshun County like this, brothers who are not afraid of death, follow me out of the city!"

Li Dang guessed the goal of the Northern Barbarian cavalry, and without any hesitation, he directly issued the order to go out of the city to meet the battle.

Huang Fengkou, Xu Lao Er beheaded the two little princes of Beiban in a row, it is not a secret.

On the contrary, in order to boost morale, the news has long since spread.

At this moment, the Northern Barbarian cavalry appeared here strangely, all the way to the south, which was clearly to attack the old and weak women and children of the Xu family.

At first glance, it has nothing to do with them.

However, the men of the Xu family are guarding in Huangfengkou, guarding the customs for Datang, and protecting the safety of these people.

If you watch the women and children of the Xu family die under the swords of the Northern Barbarian cavalry, are they still considered human?

Li Dang explained the reason in a few words.

Most of the town army in Maoyuan County is out of the ranks.

They were the town army, and their duty was to defend the city. But once the war in the north is tight, they also have to go to the battlefield to fight hard. Because of what the Xu family's father and son did, they didn't have to work hard.

Now, the Beiban intends to take revenge, how can they sit idly by?

"Chu County Order, the county seat will entrust you!"

Li dared to bow to this Chu Xiu three times, and then rushed out of the county seat with more than 300 town troops.

Maoyuan County is not large, and the garrison town army is only 500.

Of course, there are also some of them who are old and weak.

At this moment, there can be more than 300 people who can go out of the city with Li Dang, and they have already calculated the entire combat strength of the Maoyuan County Nengzhan Zhen Army.

"Don't play with your life, our purpose is to hold them back!"

The wolf smoke has risen, as long as these Northern Barbarian cavalry are dragged and Fucheng is given time to deal with it, then these Northern Barbarian cavalry will have no return.

……

The commander of the Northern Barbarian cavalry is now Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai, who is dressed in women's clothes.

But at this moment, Xu Huairen is just staring at An Taigong's skin, and his thoughts have already changed to a different person, and he is still a woman.

"I don't know whether I live or die, I kill them all!"

After discovering that the town army of Maoyuan County was out of the city, Xu Huairen, who had changed his mind, waved his hand violently.

Then, one hundred Northern Barbarian cavalry separated from the brigade and charged towards the more than 300 Maoyuan County town troops led by Li Kang.

"Defense!"

With Li Kang's shout, the three hundred town troops immediately lined up and raised a long repulsion gun.

The horse rejection pistol was specially made by the Tang Dynasty infantry to meet the Northern Barbarian cavalry, in fact, it was a long log and cut out a sharp point.

Once a foot soldier is charged by a horse team, he will quickly raise his repellent pistol and hold it on the ground.

If the horse team ignores the resistance of the horse gun and charges directly, it will inevitably end up with one person on his back.

If the horse team goes around, they will be stopped by the short crossbows of the soldiers.

Because the Northern Barbarians came with the strength of the whole clan, when Li Dang received the news, he began to train the soldiers of the town under his command.

If it had been before, no one would have paid attention to Li Kang's drills.

But now, on the contrary, everyone is eager to practice for a few more days.

After all, the purpose of practicing now is to go to the battlefield and survive.

The horse gun was propped up, and the Northern Barbarian cavalry really chose to detour.

Li Dare waved his hand decisively, and the crossbow arrows fired quickly.

Shoot the man before the horse!

The Northern Barbarian cavalry without war horses, facing the foot soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, is a scumbag.

One hundred northern barbarian cavalry, instead of destroying Li Kang's three hundred town army, half of them lost their lives, and as for the rest, although they did not die, they lost their mounts.

"Kill—"

Li Dang roared angrily, took the lead, and charged with a knife.

The Northern Barbarian soldiers opposite him also ran up with knives, ready to fight Li Dang.

However......

"Poof!"

Li Dang raised his hand, and the crossbow arrow in his hand shot through the man's chest neatly.

"Scum!"

Knife to knife?

Are you stupid to be Lao Tzu? Obviously, I can kill you with less effort, how can I spend this physical strength.

On the battlefield, saving every ounce of effort can give you more hope of saving your life.

This is the experience summed up by Daddy Li Kang.

And he handed it over to the town army of Maoyuan County without reservation.

As a result, the 100 Northern Barbarian cavalry was wiped out, and the town army in Maoyuan County did not suffer any casualties.

Everyone followed Li Dang's example and rushed forward with their swords, but when they approached the Northern Barbarian soldiers, they all pulled the trigger of the crossbow and shot the opponent with crossbow arrows.

"Shameless Don!"

Xu Huairen, the Antai Gong who had changed the core, couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.

"High Priest!"

"Do you want the last general to take a team of people?"

A Northern Barbarian cavalryman guarding Xu Huairen's side spoke respectfully.
