In the face of the sudden reinforcements of the Xia Kingdom, on the one hand, Wudi Yi still maintained an offensive against the city, and on the other hand, he organized other soldiers to meet the enemy, and Pei Xiu on the city also covered his forehead with his hand, looking at the cavalry troops in the dust and smoke from a distance.

Fortunately, there were fewer myopia at this time, and Pei Xiu also had a good telescope, so after trying to distinguish it, she saw a familiar figure in the cavalry team, which was Xu Zheng's figure, and then there was a small flag with Xu Zheng's surname written on it.

The cavalry team that came back to the rescue was of course Xu Zheng's department, who had previously pursued the soldiers of the Tatars, and their cavalry could not enter the jungle, so they pursued along the edge of the jungle, and at the same time cut off the escape of these Tatars in other directions.

Yan Xiaowu was at the forefront, and he had run for at least two hundred miles by now, of course, he would not know the situation here, and Xu Zheng was because he cooperated with a part of the infantry to pursue a group of people who fled and fainted, and after making a big circle, he actually walked in the direction of Hecheng, which also made Xu Zheng and the others cry and laugh.

Just after Xu Zheng killed all these people who failed to flee in all directions, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the soldiers around him, and then he found that three thick beacon smoke suddenly ignited in the direction of Hecheng, and it seemed that Hecheng should have been seriously attacked by the enemy.

Generally speaking, after the attack on the military cities of Hecheng, as long as the number of enemy troops is less than the number of defenders, they do not need to light the beacon smoke, if the number of defenders exceeds the number of defenders, and there is a danger to the safety of the city, a beacon fire will be lit in the city.

If the number of enemies is more than twice that of the city, two beacons must be lit, and the enemy is in a very dangerous category, many times more than the number of defenders, all three beacons must be lit, and all the surrounding armies that see these beacons must go to reinforce them.

Xu Zheng saw that Hecheng suddenly lit three beacon fires, and then thought of the strange appearance of these Tatar people pursued by himself and others before, and finally found that he was being transferred from the mountain, so he immediately led his two thousand cavalry to Hecheng.

However, Xu Zheng led his 2,000 cavalry to arrive in time, which does not mean that the defenders of Hecheng can turn from defense to attack, the strength of the Xia army is still far weaker than that of the Yan people, and they still need to buy more time.

At this time, the number of the Tatar army outside Crane City was still very large, and even after suffering a large number of losses in many previous battles, there were still nearly 10,000 elite tribal warriors.

As for the Xia army, in addition to the 1,500 people led by Pei Xiu, the defenders in Hecheng can help defend the city, that is, nearly 1,000 ordinary young men can assist in defending the city, even if there are Xu Zheng's 2,000 cavalry outside the city, the total strength of the Xia army at this time will still not exceed 5,000 people.

It is still a little dangerous to fight against nearly 10,000 fierce and fearless people with 5,000 people, but in Pei Xiu's opinion, after Xu Zheng's arrival, as long as he can help himself contain some of the Yan people, it is enough, and Xu Zheng's arrival really greatly helped Pei Xiu reduce some pressure.

But what Pei Xiu never expected was that Xu Zheng did not act according to his own plan, and he actually put on a formation to prepare for an attack on the Yan people.

Xu Zheng is indeed a bit of a master of art, when they were in the battle of Jinan City in Sanqi, they were just young men who had just entered the White Wolf Camp, and they were not afraid of the Xianbei cavalry of Northern Qi who seriously destroyed Wang Ze's cavalry at that time.

In this battle, Yan Xiaowu, Zhu Bofu, and Xu Zheng, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, dared to lead a group of young cavalry, and with the thunderbolts in their hands that they didn't know whether to work or not, they charged over against the famous Baibao Xianbei Jingjing.

Up to now, Xu Zheng has a full 2,000 cavalry, which makes Xu Zheng even more emboldened, facing the Tatar people who are ready to fight, he even rushed forward as soon as he thought about it, he wanted to let these Tatar people know what cavalry is.

Although Xu Zheng's cavalry are all light cavalry, they are also equipped with light leather armor, and the cavalry even took out the crossbow arrows in their hands, although these crossbow arrows are short crossbows, but they can shoot ten crossbow arrows at a time, and the shooting range is very dense, as long as they can enter within fifty steps of the Yan people, a charge can destroy thousands of people.

Xu Zheng was bold, and the cavalry under his command had also developed an overconfident mentality in the battles between the Xia Kingdom and the Caigua army in these years, and without thinking about it, he followed Xu Zheng's figure and rushed towards the army of the Yan people, the momentum was so huge, if the ordinary infantry army saw so many thousands of people rushing towards him, he would have lost his armor and fled.

However, the soldiers of the Tatam people resolutely and calmly maintained their formation, although their formation was a little chaotic, and their weapons, equipment, and clothes were even more varied, but their expressions were all the same calm and strong.

Xu Zheng thought very well, in fact, these people were inevitably very nervous when they saw the cavalry in the distance rushing back to support, but after seeing Wu Diyi personally bring hundreds of cronies to join the array to resist Xu Zheng's army, they all calmed down one by one.

Since even the big leader "Big Mofu Concealment" has begun to join his array, then even if he dies, he will have the big leader as his companion, so these people have picked up the bows and arrows in their hands under the command of the Wudiyi and prepared to fight.

Xu Zheng looked at the chaotic array of the Tatar people in front of him, and despised the scattering of the Tatar people in his heart, because Wang Ze has continuously emphasized the importance of the army formation over the years, after greatly enhancing the discipline and overall coordination of the soldiers of the Xia Army, it has also led some generals to think that only the army with a neat military formation can have combat effectiveness. Worry-free Chinese network

Therefore, after seeing the scattered formation of the Tatar people, many Xia soldiers, including Xu Zheng, were a little contemptuous of the Tatar people in front of them, and as the cavalry team got closer and closer to the Tatar army formation, many cavalrymen began to level the crossbow arrows in their hands and prepare to shoot.

But when they were still a hundred zhang away from the Tatars, they suddenly felt that something was wrong, according to the usual experience, a scattered army had already abandoned its armor and fled when the cavalry was so close to them, how could it be so calm.

Thinking of this, the Xia cavalry began to hesitate in their hearts, but because of the galloping of many cavalry behind them, it was impossible for them to stop if they wanted to stop their horses.

The bows and arrows are made by themselves, and they make their hard bows from a variety of hardwoods that are unique to the land of Beji, and then use the wide variety of shrubs here to process their favorite long and short arrows.

The strong bow made of these hardwoods has a long range, although the accuracy is not as good as the compound bow equipped by the Xia army or the Central Plains countries, but the range is not inferior to the compound bow, and it is suitable for the strength of the Taya people.

In the past, the Tatars used these bows and arrows to hunt, and in wartime they used to fight wars, and in the past, they used to use various bones and hard teeth of animals to make arrowheads, but now with the arrows provided by the Goguryeo people, the fighting power of the Tatar people is even stronger.

Under the shot of the Yan people, the arrows hit the cavalry led by Xu Zheng like raindrops, and under the effect of the hard bow, even the iron arrows with outstanding armor-piercing ability still penetrated the leather armor of many cavalry and deeply inserted into the bodies of these cavalrymen.

In such a dense bow and arrow salute, there were constantly Xia cavalry screaming and falling off their horses, and the cavalry behind had no time to dodge, and soon trampled their robes into a pile of meat and mud, and many war horses were shot to the point and fell heavily in a roar.

At this moment, if Xu Zheng didn't know that he was underestimating the enemy, then he could find a hemp rope to strangle himself to death, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, since he had already charged to this point, he could only fight to the death, if he retreated regardless of it at this time, it would only cause greater losses!

The war horse under Xu Zheng's crotch seemed to understand his intentions, and the speed seemed to be faster, at this moment Xu Zheng seemed to be able to see clearly the appearance of the big leader in charge of the command in the army formation of the Tatar people, and he pulled the trigger as soon as he raised his hand to the man.

Capture the thief and capture the king first! Xu Zheng shouted in his heart, as long as he could capture and kill this enemy general who seemed to have a high status, then these people would be easy to deal with.

But at this moment, he only felt a cold on his body, followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder, an oncoming arrow hit Xu Zheng's shoulder, and then another arrow hit Xu Zheng's thigh, at this time Xu Zheng could only insist on holding on to the saddle to prevent himself from falling.

"What a fucking shit!" The crossbow arrows that Xu Zheng shot at the risk of his life didn't hit the general, not to mention, the ten crossbow arrows only killed one of the elbows, and the other arrows only hit the clothes of a few of the elders, and the others all missed!

Such a failed shot inevitably made Xu Zheng feel extremely regretful, killing one was enough, but he couldn't earn one more.

In this confrontation, Xu Zheng's cavalry was shot dead by more than 100 people in one breath because it was a light cavalry, and there were also many wounded, although they also killed more than 100 people with crossbow arrows after charging close to the people.

However, the number of troops outside Hecheng far exceeded that of Xu Zheng's cavalry, and such an exchange of troops was not worth it at all.

At this time, Xu Zheng was deeply encircled, and several times if it weren't for the BMW protector under Xu Zheng's crotch, who took the initiative to kick away several people who were close to him, I am afraid that Xu Zheng would have been killed by the people of the Yan, of course, there are also factors that other cavalry deliberately protect in battle.

It's just that no matter how protected these cavalrymen are, they can't find time to stop Xu Zheng's bleeding, at this time, Xu Zheng was hit by several arrows, and he no longer had any strength to fight with the Yan people, so he could only lie on the saddle and watch the surrounding robes being gradually killed in the battle.

He laughed at himself in his heart: "What a fucking bastard, what kind of armored cavalry are light cavalry!" If you pay attention to the attack from the beginning, you won't get to this point! ”

Anyway, Xu Zheng still underestimated the enemy!

That's it! Looks like I'm dying here today! Xu Zheng's thoughts at this time were this, but why did he still feel that someone was charging at him?

Xu Zheng felt that his eyes were spent, but with the serious blood loss, Xu Zheng's eyes became more and more unable to open, and his body cooled down little by little, "Damn, when you are dying, you can't even let a fairy sister see clearly!" ’
