At dawn, the sky was still pitch black, and the darkness before dawn was like a huge monster devouring the heavens and the earth, and the whole land was silent.

The lanterns on the castle tower of Xishan Town swayed gently in the night wind, emitting a dim yellow light.

The soldiers on the night vigil were napping with their spears in their hands, and their heads were like chickens pecking rice.

Suddenly, a crisp sound woke him up from his dream, and it turned out that his helmet had hit the spear in his hand.

The soldier muttered something and lowered his head to continue his sleep, when suddenly, as if he heard something, he raised his head and looked into the darkness with his confused eyes.

The voice grew closer, clearer. "Boom", "boom", and then there was a rush, and the sound became louder and louder, and it went straight into the ears of the soldiers.

"Isn't it going to rain, thunder?" thought the soldier suspiciously. Although it is autumn, thunder is still very common.

Just as the soldier was about to continue dozing off, his eyes suddenly widened. He saw a fiery dragon appear in the distance, coming to this direction with the sound of "boom". The fire dragon is getting closer and closer, and there is still a long section behind it, and there is no end in sight.

As the dragon drew nearer, the soldiers finally realized that it was not thunder or a fire dragon at all, but a procession of people on horseback with torches. As the procession drew nearer, the faces of the knights on horseback could be seen clearly in the flickering light of the speeding torches.

The soldier finally came to his senses, hurriedly woke up his companion next to him, and shouted: "The cavalry is coming, the cavalry is coming!"

All the soldiers on the tower had been awakened by this time, and the torch-carrying procession under the city stretched for five or six miles, and the rumbling of horses' hooves had already driven away their sleepiness.

On the one hand, the officers guarding the city sent people to inform the prefect and the officials, and on the other hand, arranged for the guards of the city wall.

Suddenly, the city soon resounded with the sound of soldiers running, the shouting of officers, the crying of children, the barking of dogs, and even the crowing of roosters before they arrived. In short, there are rumors everywhere that the barbarians have attacked the city.

When the lord of Xishan Town arrived at the head of the city in full dress, all he saw was the tail of the fire dragon in the distance. The cavalry did not attack their city, but only passed by.

The people who had a false alarm patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, he began to wonder which army this was. It seems that there are nearly 10,000 riders.

I thought that there was more than one town like Xishan Town that was disturbed, but in the spirit of safety, I didn't go out to check the cavalry there.

In fact, these cavalry were Ye Qing's army, and they were also his own personal guards.

Although Qingyunling snatched a lot of horses from the barbarians, but with the purchase from various channels, that is, more than 10,000, it is not enough to set up a cavalry team of 10,000 people, after all, the advantage of cavalry is the ability to maneuver, at least one person and two horses are needed to form a strong combat effectiveness.

So Ye Qing decided to equip his personal guards first, and the remaining horses were just enough for the scouts and generals of the infantry.

After Ye Qing of Qingyun Collar knew the news of the barbarian invasion again, he decided to send troops to block the barbarians, although his troops were far less than the invasion of the barbarians, but with his familiarity with geography, it should not be a big problem to harass the enemy by using guerrilla tactics.

What's more, although the barbarians have an army of 100,000, they are not all in one place, and there are nine cities, dozens of towns, and countless villages in the entire chaotic hills.

Each city has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to defend, and in wartime, you can also mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in the city to help defend the city, with the high city walls, plus the barbarians are cavalry, not good at attacking the city, and they can't help these cities for a while.

Naturally, the barbarians did not put all their hopes on these towns, and while attacking the cities, they also sent several rangers to loot nearby villages and provide food and grass for the army.

The barbarians who invaded the south and the Terrans never carried excess grain and grass, and they were all snatched and snatched in the hands of the Terrans.

This time, Ye Qing only came out with his own five thousand personal guards, although when he first made this decision, he was opposed by everyone, but Ye Qing still tried his best to overcome public opinion and decided to come in person.

Although Ye Qing is the lord of a city and has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, in such a troubled world, his own strength is the most important, and it is impossible for others to be by your side to protect you at any time.

Although Ye Qing has a certain strength now, he has too little actual combat experience, and he is okay to learn from each other in normal times, but once it comes to life and death, it is likely that he will be full of flaws and die directly.

This barbarian invasion is a very good almost, with a geographical advantage, he does not need to fight hard with the barbarian army, as long as he chooses an opponent, in fact, the danger is not great.

The forced march of one day and two nights, passing through several territories and traveling thousands of miles, now they are close to the area of activity of the barbarians, it is getting late, there is a village not far away, Ye Qing intends to take the troops there to rest, recover their strength, and be ready to deal with possible battles at any time.

It didn't take long for the scouts to return. It was a very small village with more than 100 families, and many of the houses were empty. Everything around is also normal and can be checked.

After knowing that it was safe, Ye Qing took the guards and rode towards the village. Regarding the matter of vigilance, Wang Feng is free to worry about. Since there is Wang Feng as a professional, he doesn't need to meddle.

The guards found a relatively large house in the village and cleaned it up before letting Ye Qing go in to rest. Ye Qing was not polite, more than a year had made him accustomed to the life of being served, and it was natural for him to enjoy these things from his heart.

After Wang Feng finished arranging the matter of guarding and camping, he walked into Ye Qing's temporary residence.

The night went uneventful, and the next day, after breakfast, the soldiers, who had regained their strength, began to assemble and prepare for the march.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi heard a loud sound of firecrackers in the sky, which was an alarm signal when the scouts spotted the enemy.

A long time ago, Ye Qing tried to develop gunpowder, after all, the purpose of gunpowder is well known, but I don't know if heaven and earth do not allow it or what's going on, although gunpowder is made, but the power is limited, even stones can't be blasted, let alone open mountains.

Ye Qing, who was so disappointed, had to make a few simple firecrackers to comfort his injured heart, but he didn't expect it to become popular in Qingyunling, adding an entertainment activity for the people of the flood wilderness.

Wang Feng, who was born as a scout, even proposed to use firecrackers to make alarm signals, which also reminded Ye Qing of the picture of "an arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops come to meet each other" in the movie, so there is the current alarm signal.

After a while, I saw Wang Feng come in from outside, and said with a calm expression: "My lord, I found a barbarian thousand-person team a hundred miles away. ”

"The barbarian is moving so fast, tell me to go down and prepare for battle. ”

"That's right, let the people in the village feel transferred. ”

"Yes, my lord"

Ye Qing turned over on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed out. The guards behind him also followed.

......

Leaving the village, Ye Qing and Wang Feng led five thousand guards to gallop quickly. A black dot protrudes in front of you, which turns out to be a scout.

"My lord, fifty miles ahead, I found a thousand barbarian cavalry!"

"Huh?" Ye Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "How specifically?"

"There were no more than a thousand people in all, but there were still a large number of captives in the barbarian ranks, and it seemed that there were many fù women! ”

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xu Huang's eyes, and he said, "It must be the barbarian raiding team!"

"Wang Feng!"

"Your Excellency!"

"I order, you immediately lead a thousand light horsemen, attract the attention of the barbarians, and you must drag them down!"

"Yes!"

Barbarian Army.

"My lord, a large group of people are approaching!"

A soldier lay on the ground and listened for a while, then said to the leader.

"How many?"

"About a thousand!"

"A thousand?" the commander smiled and said, "Isn't it a team of clansmen?"

"Yes!"

"Look, my lord!" reminded Wang Feng.

Wang Feng fixed his eyes and shouted: "Barbarian cavalry! It must be their scouts, prepare, exterminate, don't let one go!"

Wang Feng reached out and took off the longbow behind his back, gently took off a feather arrow, and slowly pulled the big bow into a full moon!

At this time, the barbarian scouts approached!

"Shoot!"

Dozens of feather arrows pierced the air, scaring the ten-man barbarian scouts!

"Terran! It's the Terran cavalry! Run away! Hurry up and report to the Thousand Masters!"

However, it was too late.

"Ugh!"

"Ahh

The rain of arrows fell, and eight of the ten people lost in an instant, leaving only two people, and they were also overturned to the ground by the wounded war horse.

A long time ago, there were soldiers who beat horses and stabbed them to death.

"Soldiers, hurry, go!"

I saw it, Wang Feng saw the enemy, but the enemy also saw them!

A whole thousand barbarian iron horsemen have long been bowed and arrows in hand, and their scimitars are unsheathed!

"Good guy!" Wang Feng praised: "This barbarian commander is not an idle person. ”

It turned out that the barbarian thousand-man team had already occupied the highland slope, and now Wang Feng was below, and the barbarians were above, and the advantages and disadvantages were visible at a glance.

"Come, archers, prepare!!" Seeing that his own side has the advantage, and the opponent is the Terrans, who have always been weak. The barbarian commander ordered.

Wang Feng's eyes kept staring at the Wuhuan people, and when he saw that their feathers and arrows were wound, he immediately shouted: "The rear team becomes the front team, retreat, fifty steps!"

The cavalrymen immediately reined in their horses and turned around, and galloped fifty paces, causing all the barbarian arrows to rain down!

"Cowardly Terrans! Barbarian warriors, rush with me!" the little marshal shouted, and with a pull of the reins, the front hooves of the war horse flew high!

"Boom"

Wang Feng's face sank, and he drank, "Archers prepare!
