Chapter 0032: Heavy casualties
In the process of retreating in a hurry, the north gate of Lingle County was quickly opened, and a herd of cattle with long knives and torches tied to their bodies rushed out of Lingle County and rushed towards these Beihu troops.
These cattle were all beef cattle that the wealthy families of Lingle County had bought from Beihu merchants before, and they were not cultivated cattle from Dongping.
Ploughing cattle are so precious, and they are related to farming, Su Jingxu and they will not use them easily.
Once there are casualties in the cattle, it is not a small problem.
And these beef cattle are also not small, even if they are killed, the meat can still be eaten, and the loss can be minimized as much as possible.
In addition, there are sharp knives at both ends and in front of these cattle, which can increase the lethality and protect the safety of the herd as much as possible.
When the gates of the city were opened, the frightened herd began to rush forward frantically, rushing towards the already chaotic Beihu army.
At this moment, the scene is even more chaotic and bloody.
was hit by these crazy herds, whether it was the war horse or the sergeant of Beihu, it was difficult to withstand it.
The speed of the fire cattle herd was very fast, and these Beihu soldiers in front had just been attacked by the bows and arrows of the defenders of Lingle County in the city, and they were in chaos, and it was difficult to effectively resist these surprise fire cattle for a while.
As soon as the frightened fire bulls rushed over, the sharp knives at both ends and in front of them began to kill and injure these Beihu soldiers and war horses, which immediately caused a burst of screams.
The Beihu sergeants, who did not escape in time, were either injured by sharp knives, or trampled by cattle and war horses, and suffered many casualties.
Even though the fire bulls had already rushed into the formation of the Beihu army and their speed was blocked, these frightened fire bulls had already been injured in the previous run, and there were torches that continued to burn there, they still couldn't calm down and were still crazy.
The killing and wounding caused by these fire cattle herds is still continuing, and the Beihu army has been completely chaotic.
At this time, the defenders of Lingle County, under the leadership of Su Jingxu, the assassin Shi, and Fu Nuocheng, the general of the garrison, went out of the city to pursue these chaotic Beihu troops.
Under the joint efforts of many parties, the Beihu army that was scattered too far began to be unable to bear it, and they retreated and fled one after another.
Originally, after the fire herd was surrounded, these Beihu sergeants had already begun to counterattack these rear herds, killing several of them.
But now, the defenders of Lingle County went out of the city to meet the battle, and the bows and arrows opened the way, which once again caused them to suffer a powerful impact and suffered a lot of casualties, and they could no longer concentrate on dealing with these fire bulls.
Morale has been completely suppressed, and there are fire cattle herds continuing to wantonly destroy and kill, as well as the pursuit of the defenders of Lingle County with the same hatred and hatred, these Beihu sergeants have long had no intention of fighting.
With the first person to start running away, it immediately caused more Beihu sergeants to follow and flee, and each one ran faster than the other.
The Beihu army in several directions, one side is in chaos, and other places cannot be defended.
Moreover, they were also counterattacked by the fire cattle herd and the defenders of Lingle County, and they could only scatter and flee.
Especially the rangers of Beihu, they don't care who is blocking in front of them, even if they are also Beihu sergeants, so what? Right now, they just want to flee from Lingle County to avoid being killed.
The advantage in the battle situation has fallen to the side of Dongping.
The Beihu sergeants, who fled in all directions, were pursued by the defenders of Lingle County until they reached the edge of the Wuling River.
The Wuling River is not deep, and these Beihu soldiers can directly wade across the river.
It's just that wading in the water is no better than on flat ground after all, and their speed has slowed down.
In addition, the river began to cool down at this time, soaking their pants and boots, making their burden heavier, making it more difficult to move, and their speed slowed down.
Coupled with the rapid approach of the Dongping army that was chasing after them, these Beihu sergeants could only speed up and escape from the Wuling River.
At this moment, in the Wuling River, another stampede was staged.
Many Beihu sergeants who desperately escaped were squeezed, impacted, trampled, injured, and died in the Wuling River by war horses.
The clear waters of the Wuling River have been stained red with blood.
When the defenders of Lingle County rushed over, they had no intention of going down to the river to continue the pursuit, but lined up by the river and immediately began to fire arrows at those Beihu sergeants.
At this moment, in this Wuling River, a lot of Beihu sergeants were killed.
It's a pity that with the Wu Ling River in the way, the Dongping army couldn't continue the pursuit, and only watched Bugtale flee here in a hurry under the cover of the guards.
Su Jingxu and Fu Nuocheng grabbed the reins together and stood by the Wuling River.
Fu Nuocheng was still unwilling, and spitted: "Sure enough, I ran fast." This Bugtale is accustomed to fighting for power and grabbing credit, so he loves to play tricks, and he has no other skills, but he is fast enough to escape. ”
In this regard, Su Jingxu just shook his head and said, "Okay, we have repelled the Beihu army, let's go back first." ”
"The weather is getting colder, this Wuling River, let's not go down."
"Wait a minute, we still have to arrange manpower to go to Changling County to see the situation."
"Although this time, my mother escaped halfway through, but Changling County was broken by the Beihu army, and I am afraid that it will be destroyed."
"The situation may not be good, we have to be prepared and pass the news to the court in time."
Thinking of the matter in Changling County, Su Jingxu's face was solemn.
This time, they fell for Beihu's calculations, were besieged in Lingle County, cut off the transmission of news from the outside world, and were kept closed, and were led by Beihu Bugetal, almost causing a bigger disaster.
Unexpectedly, such a big change happened here in Yunzhou and Lixi County.
I don't know if Zhou Xin'an, the county guard of Lixi County, has taken any measures to minimize losses.
However, this time the matter was too strange, unlike what Beihu had done before, so Su Jingxu couldn't help but be suspicious.
Then there is the fact that Yu Zhenxuan rebelled and wanted to open the East City Gate for the Beihu ambush soldiers, Su Jingxu didn't want to believe it, but he could still know that in this series of things, there were internal ghosts involved, and he betrayed Dongping, betrayed the interests of Yunzhou, and betrayed him.
Perhaps, some people have begun to dislike their position in Yunzhou, and they want to kill themselves to make room for their own people.
Thinking of this, Su Jingxu smiled mockingly.
In fact, there is no need to think about it, Su Jingxu knows who will do it.
In this regard, Su Jingxu became more and more indignant and disappointed.
