Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 57 Reinforcements

Just as Wanyan Azhe was busy arranging tomorrow's siege, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the account. Immediately after that, someone shouted: "Urgent military situation!"

Wanyan Azhe frowned, a trace of bad feeling flashed in his heart, and he waved his hand: "Pass in." ”

A soldier dressed as a scout came to his knees and said, "Patriarch, a thousand-person food search team sent by my tribe has been killed, and all the supplies are missing. ”

"What did you say?" After hearing this, Huo Ran stood up, his face full of shock.

The tribal leaders who had just finished discussing military affairs in the tent were all heard of this, and many people's first reaction was that this was not true. But after calming down, we all know that it is unlikely. There is no joke in the army, and no one dares to joke about such things. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and the expression on his face was inconsistent.

The sound of everyone's discussion woke up Wan Yan Azhe, and he took a deep breath and asked the scout, "Do you know who did it?"

After hearing Yan Azhe's question, everyone also looked at the scout who was kneeling on the ground. They also wanted to know who else in the chaotic hills would dare to go out of the city to attack the barbarian cavalry.

You must know that if you can completely wipe out a standing army of 1,000 people, and no one escapes, the number must be at least more than 10,000 people.

The scout was also in a cold sweat when he was looked at by so many big guys, and replied in a trembling voice: "When the minions were conducting environmental reconnaissance, they found a lot of charred bones next to a small slope. and some unburned flags, which have been identified as the official banners of our barbarian warriors......"

The scout thought for a moment and said, "A large number of horseshoe prints were found at the scene, as well as a large area of weeds that had been gnawed by the war horses. Judging by these, the enemy has at least 10,000 horses and more than 5,000 cavalry. And it is not at all clear where the enemy is retreating. ”

"What, five thousand cavalry?" the leader of the tent clan was shocked again.

You know, the leaders of these tribes, that is, they have a standing army of about 5,000, and some tribes don't even have it.

Before this, the Terran did not have more than 5,000 cavalry troops, but against the standing army of a thousand people, basically only the end of being disabled, so later, no Terran cavalry dared to go out of the city to fight with the barbarian cavalry.

But now, there was a Terran cavalry with a number of more than 5,000 people, who dared to go out of the city to fight in the field, and also completely annihilated a standing cavalry of a thousand people.

......

Since encountering the first wave of barbarians, Ye Qing began to spread scouts extensively, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he specialized in attacking the plundering squad of less than a thousand barbarians, and in five days, at least nearly 10,000 barbarian cavalry were killed.

On the evening of the fifth day, the bright moon rises in the middle of the moon, dotted with stars, and is more than 1,000 miles southwest of Yangcheng......

Dense bonfires spread for miles, and more than 4,000 cavalry guarded everywhere.

What is particularly noteworthy is that there is a side camp that stretches for several miles and is larger than the main camp next to it, which is densely packed with war horses.

In the five-day battle, although the Ye soldiers also suffered losses, but fortunately, with the timely treatment of the medical spirit book, although there were many injuries, except for those who were directly killed, there were very few combat attrition, and the number of people killed was about 800 fewer than when they came, and Ye Qing currently had more than 4,200 available soldiers.

Of course, there are losses, there are gains, the barbarian cavalry goes to war, generally one person, two horses or three horses, although part of the loss in the battle, but still captured nearly 10,000 war horses for Ye Qing, so that he can once again equip a team of 5,000 cavalry.

However, due to the ambush of the barbarians for several days, Wanyan Azhe was very angry, and the barbarians also learned well, although they still sent people out, but each team was at least about 5,000 people, because there were few, and they were killed in vain.

This also made Ye Qing's sneak attack plan bankrupt, although with his current strength, he could defeat a barbarian cavalry of about 5,000 people, but the time may drag on for a long time, and his own casualties will not be small, and it is easy to be surrounded by barbarians.

Fortunately, by tomorrow at the latest, Ye Qing's reinforcements will arrive.

The reinforcements are Qingyun's infantry, Ye Qing now has an infantry army of more than 60,000, in addition to the necessary remaining troops to maintain the security of the territory, a total of 40,000 have come to this expedition.

Originally, he set off with the cavalry, but the infantry marched slowly, and Ye Qingyou, in order to give Yangcheng some support as soon as possible, rushed desperately with the cavalry, which caused the current state of separation between the two armies.

The next day, Ye Qing galloped with his cavalry, preparing to go south to join his infantry

"Report ......"

"Tell my lord, there are a large number of brute horsemen in front of us, about 5,000 horsemen, and they are approaching us diagonally, and according to their route, we should find our army!"

"Probe!"

This should be a barbarian team ordered to search for Ye Jun's cavalry, Ye Qing should have avoided being discovered as much as possible, but this place is not far from the meeting place agreed with the infantry!

The appearance of the barbarian cavalry did not dispel Ye Qing's goal of converging the infantry, and the barbarians of five thousand people, as long as the tactics were right, were not impossible to eliminate.

Ye Qing led his guards all the way south without stopping.

After traveling for an hour, a large number of black shadows appeared on the horizon of the skyline, and these were the brute horses in the scout's report.

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

The same cries of killing, coming from different people's mouths, from different queues, but almost at the same time.

The barbarian cavalry was stunned to find that the black line raised on the horizon ahead was a person!

How far is the limit of an ordinary person's line of sight? That is, about ten miles, even if through cultivation, it can be increased, but it will not be too far.

For the cavalry in the two hedges, ten miles is really not a long distance, but the Terran cavalry is coming too fast, right?

500 steps......

300 steps......

"Kill!"

Ye Qing, who had already entered the firing range, took the lead, suddenly shouted, and the sound spread for several miles, and the spear in his hand tightened, accelerating the charge.

After several battles with the brute cavalry before, Ye Qing has completely adapted to the battlefield, and now he is personally leading the charge, and he still has a feeling of blood boiling.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The bowstring exploded, piercing the air and buzzing, and thousands of sharp arrows swept up from the Ye army's camp and rolled straight to the barbarian horse.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

Hundreds of barbarian horsemen fell off their horses in the face of arrows, and the rest of the barbarian horsemen were not afraid of death, and their fighting spirit was stronger, and the charging speed did not decrease but increased.

The distance of hundreds of steps, but only a dozen breaths, is basically just an arrow later, and the two sides are already in close contact.

A stream of blood light slashed straight through the barbarian cavalry, and the cone-shaped battle formation behind him was more like an iron chisel deeply embedded in the brute cavalry.

As one of the basic formations of the cavalry, the cone formation is the main training project of the Ye cavalry, and it has been deeply integrated into the daily life of the Ye cavalry.

Now, the power of the formation has also been initially revealed.

War horses collide, guns and axes collide, and blood overflows!

The two waves facing the collision rolled up the sky and splashed in the sky, which was particularly red in the reddish sunset.

Countless people rode and rode savagely, like dumplings, and kept falling off their war horses, like falling into the whirlpool of death, and were shattered in the blink of an eye.

The pungent smell of blood swept up, and the red blood spread, soaking the verdant meadows!

From the moment the war began, the gates of hell were opened.

In the tragic slaughter on both sides, there were constantly howls piercing the sky, stumps constantly flying out, people falling from their horses to their deaths, and blood constantly pouring into the earth.

Although the Ye soldiers relied on the blessing of the formation and maintained a relatively complete formation to rampage in the barbarian cavalry, as time passed, the corpses blocked the speed of both sides.

Countless horses' hooves marched forward and backward, and the cavalry lost speed and was not as agile as the infantry, so some men tried to stand up straight on horseback, hoping to condescendingly cut the enemy off their horses.

The two armies were entangled and fiercely fighting, the drums and horns were echoing, the horses were neighing, the white blades intersected, the swords were broken, everyone was fighting bloodily, everyone was struggling to swing the sword, the master was exhausted and fell to death, and the defeated horse roared to the heavens.

One moment you hack an enemy to death, the next moment you may have your turn to be boneless, and here, there are no soldiers, and all the lives are like mustard, the scene is tragic and fierce. It's really a corpse filling the shore of Palembang, and the cave is full of blood.

At this time, the results of the usual training were evident at this time, although there was no way to maintain the large formation, but under the leadership of the commander and the commander, the team began to cooperate with each other, constantly flanking the scattered enemy left and right.

In the battle, Ye Qing won, annihilated four thousand and three enemies, and the rest fled.

The Ye army also suffered the heaviest losses, counting the disabled and killed, a total of more than 800 soldiers were reduced.

Fortunately, the harvest of this battle and more than 6,000 war horses, plus the barbarians' sidearms and money, can barely make up for Ye Qing's losses, and not far away, there are still 40,000 elite infantry waiting for him.

Wangjiabao is a village inhabited by thousands of people, because the people who live here are named after Wang.

Now, the entire Wangjiabao has become a temporary military camp, and as for the original residents, all of them have been poisoned by barbarians, and no one remains.

This is the place where Ye Qing and the infantry converged, less than three hundred miles away from the place where he fought with the barbarians just now, and the cavalry arrived in half a day.

When Ye Qing arrived at Wangjiabao, the 40,000 army led by Li Xin had already entered Wangjiabao and began to build temporary fortifications.

The overnight rest at Wangjiabao gave the Guards a certain rest after five or six days of fighting.

The next day, Ye Qing was originally going to select some soldiers who were familiar with cavalry warfare among the foot soldiers to supplement the personal guards, but unfortunately, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and he received a message from the scouts early in the morning. Five hundred miles away, 20,000 barbarian cavalry were heading straight towards Wangjiabao.
