How could there be no casualties in the war, even in this blockade of Fang Cai, three soldiers in Luoyun Village were killed by arrows, and dozens of people were slightly injured.

This is just standing on the hill and throwing rolling stones and fire oil, and if it is a hand-to-hand battle, the number of dead and wounded will be incalculable.

Looking at the sergeants of the Border Protection Battalion who were sitting or squatting, quietly busy eating, Deng Yueru suddenly felt that they were not weak at all, at least when they were protecting the country and protecting the people, they had not been afraid of the enemy.

"Don't think too much about it, as a sergeant, everyone has long been determined to die on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud is the destination that every soldier yearns for."

Finding that Deng Yueru had been watching those sergeants in a daze, Situ Junfeng understood what she was thinking, and gently patted her hand holding the thick flour flatbread.

"I understand."

smiled at Situ Junfeng, Deng Yueru herself is also a warrior, so she naturally understands that mood.

After a hurried lunch, just after resting for a while, a scout came in a hurry, and Dayu began to attack again, and this time there were more soldiers and horses.

It seems that the previous temptation suffered heavy losses, which made the generals of Dayu Kingdom very angry, so they prepared to press the realm in a straight line and break through the rolling stones and fire oil traps in the canyon in one go.

The trap above the canyon was no longer of much effect, and Deng Yueru was given full authority to Zhang Wu and Ji Gang to deal with. She herself, together with Situ Junfeng, rode on a horse, following behind Zheng Qian, her eyes fixed on the mouth of the canyon.

The sound of neighing horses and people coming from the canyon, as well as the sounds of rolling rocks, logs rolling, and arrows shooting, made everyone nervous.

Finally, with the roar of iron hooves, rows of cavalry broke through the canyon and came to the front of the sergeants of the Guardian Battalion.

As if they also knew that they could not charge as soon as they came up, these cavalry waited at the mouth of the gorge for a while, and soon gathered a cavalry of several hundred men.

With a shout, the cavalry picked up their scimitars and rushed towards the phalanx of the Protector Battalion.

Before the effective range of the crossbow arrow, Zheng Qian calmed down and did not make a sound.

Deng Yueru saw that the cavalry had already run into the minefield, so she raised her hand behind her, and the thunder and lightning ability was mobilized, and she waved her hand towards the marked place, and several thunderbolts shot straight away.

With the rumbling sound of explosions, in the surprised eyes of Zheng Qian and the others, about two hundred meters ahead, there was a series of explosions, and the land was blown out of deep pits, and the dozens of horses that stepped into this area all fell, and the cavalry in a place was emptied at once.

"Hey, this mine is so powerful!"

Rao is Zheng Qian's half-life horse, and he has never seen anything so powerful.

Even Situ Junfeng, who had known the power of gunpowder before, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the effect of the mine at this time.

"It's a pity that the number is too small, otherwise how many people will be blown up and killed, see if they dare to come!"

Because of the lack of materials on the mountain, the manufacture of gunpowder was restricted, otherwise, Deng Yueru wanted to prepare a lot of explosives, and directly blew up the Grand Canyon and blocked it. Unfortunately, this can't be done.

So many people were killed at once, and the people of Dayu were also stunned, but it seemed that the more dead they were, the more ferocious they were, and after being stunned for a while, they shouted and rushed up again.

"Crossbow arrows ready, shoot!"

Zheng Qian looked at these cavalrymen very calmly, and after the cavalry rushed into the effective range of the arrows, he began to let the crossbowmen fire in batches.

After a few rounds of arrows, some of the cavalry fell, but the cavalry who rushed out of the gorge immediately after them immediately filled the gap and continued to charge at a gallop.

After the cavalry entered the range of the bow and arrow, Zheng Qian asked the archers to join the round shooting, and the cavalry suffered a lot of losses, after all, they only wore thin leather armor for the sake of attack speed.

"Woo ......"

Seeing that the cavalry was about to rush to within fifty meters, suddenly the sound of horns came from behind the enemy, and the cavalry suddenly stopped their steps, turned around and ran back.

Soon, near the mouth of the canyon, the men and horses of Dayu Kingdom lined up and began to set up a defensive position.

"They're ready to set up camp, send people to defend themselves, and the others hurry up and rest."

Looking at the movements of Da Yu Guo a few hundred meters away, Zheng Qian loudly gave orders to the surrounding generals. Then the horses and other things were put up, leaving two thousand soldiers to defend them, and the rest of the men scattered back to the camp and began to rest.

"Won't you go to attack and watch them start camping?"

Deng Yueru looked at the army of Dayu that began to camp, and the sergeants of the border protection battalion who began to rest, and was a little puzzled.

The enemy has already broken through the Grand Canyon, so why not drive them back to the other side of the Grand Canyon while there are still few people coming? If they are allowed to station down, and wait until there are more soldiers and horses coming, then how can they resist?

"Yueru, we are short of manpower, even if we go up to fight the enemy to the death and drive the enemy back to the other side of the canyon, our losses will inevitably be very large.

But the enemy began to rush again, the traps in the canyon were useless, and the people of Dayu had already climbed the mountain wall.

Zheng Shoubei's approach is right, to retain the vital forces, and to delay time this year, how long can the army of Dayu be dragged here. In this way, we will wait for the rescue in Beijing. ”

Knowing that Deng Yueru had not experienced battlefield fighting, Situ Junfeng pulled her back to the camp and explained to her.

"Yes, our mission is not to drive away the enemy, but to stop him here. It's me who is confused. ”

was reminded by Situ Junfeng, Deng Yueru suddenly came back to her senses.

She was stimulated by the atmosphere on the battlefield, and seemed to have returned to the time when she was on a mission in her previous life, forgetting that what they had to do was not to kill the enemy and drive them away, but to block the enemy, and the longer the better, and it was best to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Because they only have 20,000 troops. There are too few people, and one dies one less ......

Back in the camp, Deng Yueru saw Zhang Wu, Wu Miao, Ji Gang and Yunmo, all four of them had blood stains on their bodies, and it seemed that they had experienced a short-range battle.

"The people of Dayu Kingdom climbed the mountain wall, and everyone fought, but unfortunately the place on the mountain wall was small and there were too many enemies, so they had to retreat. More than thirty brothers died. ”

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and in the end, Zhang Wu could only sigh.

These are all brothers who trained and grew up with him, but in a blink of an eye, people were lost, and this experience made Zhang Wu hate war even more.

"Don't worry, we will definitely avenge them!"

Situ Junfeng raised his hand and patted Zhang Wu's shoulder, solemnly assuring.
