Chapter 291: Pingyang County

However, Ke Muzhi did not rush to cross the river, but rested on the side of the river for another day, taking advantage of a glimmer of morning glow in the sky, broke through the clouds, and more than 50,000 Qiang people crossed the river and quietly killed the county seat of Pingyang two hundred miles away.

A fast horse greeted the morning light, and finally stepped on the official road of Tongtian Peak, this is Yang Yuan, who came after five consecutive days and nights, stroked the BMW sitting down with some distress. At this time, Chengfeng was already covered in water, and there were faint traces of blood gushing out, if it weren't for the BMW good horse that was known for its speed, it would be impossible to run for more than a thousand miles in such a short time.

Yang Yuan walked into Tianxing Pass, ignoring the exhaustion of his body, and turned on the exchange device. Although Wang Gang opened several levels, there were not many that were really developed, such as the Tianxing Pass in front of him, although there were two perfect Tongtian stones, but Wang Gang did not choose to mine. As a result, the exchange device has not been able to store much copper coins.

Yang Yuan glanced at it, there were only more than 40 million, which was not enough to exchange for a thousand cavalry. The mood couldn't help but feel a little heavier, Yang Yuan didn't have the exchange authority of other levels, all he could rely on was Tianxing Pass, but now Tianxing Pass has not been developed, if Wang Gang doesn't have time to sell the ore of other levels, then he will not be able to replenish it.

Yang Yuan exchanged for a one-star cavalry, rested for a while, and then led the cavalry towards Pingyang County. He didn't know anything about the situation in Xihe County now, and wanted to find Zhao Yan, the governor of Xihe County, and find out some information to deal with the next big war. And when he led 600 cavalry and just came to Pingyang County, five miles away, a rumbling war drum sounded. Yang Yuan hurriedly hid the soldiers in the dense forest. Arrive with two soldiers to investigate.

I saw that 2,000 Qiang cavalry were attacking Pingyang County, but the defenders of Pingyang were holding extremely hard. Although the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, it was defended by some old and weak, which made it easy for the cavalry to approach the city walls. But fortunately, the cavalry did not have siege equipment, so they could only shoot arrows under the city walls and shoot the defenders above the city walls without stopping.

And on the city wall, a young general watched these defenders being killed with an indifferent face, but he was unmoved. And the 1,000 elite archers, hiding on the stone steps of the city wall, quietly waiting for the order of the commander.

"This should be the vanguard of the Qiang people, about two thousand people," Chi Hu said when he came to Ding Feng's side.

"Two thousand people also want to capture Pingyang County, wishful thinking, since they have seen the enemy's reality, then there is no need to continue playing" Ding Feng's eyes showed a touch of ruthlessness.

"Chi Hu, you lead a thousand soldiers to rush out of the city gate, remember not to chase deeply, and try not to get out of the range of the archers. Wait for me to command"

"Okay" Chi Hu agreed, and walked towards the city, there were already a thousand soldiers waiting here in the city gate, but his face was a little pale, and his legs trembled. There was obviously no morale. However, Chihu didn't care, he had his own ideas, and he ordered his troops to get a dozen ox carts from the city.

Ordered the soldiers to get on the cart, but a dozen ox carts could only carry two or three hundred soldiers, as for the rest, wait to follow the ox cart charge, if it was seen by later generations of military strategists, this is not the initial step of the Tan coordination.

The Qiang people outside the city, seeing that there were no archers on the city wall, were unscrupulous. Come under the walls and stand together. Shoot arrows at the city wall, and at this moment, with the sound of a bang, the city gate suddenly opened. The Qiang cavalry were attracted by the sudden change and looked towards the city gate.

I saw ox carts rushing out of the city gate frantically, no less fast than the gallop of war horses. The Qiang people were about to open their mouths to laugh at them, when the sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded above their heads, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and it was too late to dodge. The popping sound kept sounding, the screams continued, and the Qiang people hurriedly retreated. By the time the Qiang people withdrew from the range of their bows and arrows, hundreds of them had fallen to the city, leaving only the horses standing alone.

Before the Huns could come to their senses, more than a dozen ox carts had rushed to the front of the formation, and more than a dozen pikemen on them stabbed in a flurry, and dozens more fell down suddenly. The infantry following behind the ox cart took advantage of this opportunity to stab the cavalry who had lost their mobility to death on the spot.

The Qiang cavalry hurriedly retreated, but the speed of the cavalry was still faster than that of the ox cart, and it broke away from the ox cart in a short quarter of an hour, leaving only the corpses of hundreds of Qiang cavalry. The Qiang general was suddenly furious, it was he who was greedy for merit and wanted to rely on 2,000 cavalry to force the defenders in the city to surrender, but he did not expect to be calculated and lost more than 1,000 soldiers in vain.

The Qiang cavalry also saw the weakness of these foot soldiers. Although there are ox carts to protect them, they are not fast and have no long-range attack capabilities, so they are not a threat to the Qiang cavalry. couldn't help but have a cold look in his eyes, and ordered the soldiers to follow and release the arrows.

At this moment, the earth shook again, and a cavalry quickly rushed towards the Qiang cavalry, the speed was staggering. The Qiang cavalry thought that reinforcements had arrived, and turned their heads with some joy, but saw a spear stabbing at them. Just as he was about to raise his scimitar to block, the spear had already come out of his body, and he glanced at the spear in his chest. Until they closed their eyes, they didn't understand why the cavalry of the Han people appeared behind them.

The Qiang cavalry was attacked from both sides, and it was immediately chaotic, and more than 100 people were stabbed off their horses in just one shot. And the generals of the Qiang people didn't even see the appearance of the people who came, so they were cut off by a horse lance, and it was not until the head flew into the air that they completely saw that this cavalry was only a few hundred people, but it was too late.

Yang Yuan led the cavalry to rush and kill, and the Qiang cavalry had to flee in all directions, but with the blessing of Yang Yuan's gallop, the running cavalry was caught up one by one, and then they were pierced through the chest by spears, and only a few dozen people escaped.

Yang Yuan came down and the cavalry stopped pursuing, gathered the scattered horses, and gathered together with the horses under the city, there were more than a thousand, which made Yang Yuan happy. Although Ding Feng didn't know Yang Yuan, as a hero who was exchanged by the system, he naturally had a natural affinity, and after introducing each other, he knew his identity.

"The defeat of the two thousand vanguard of the Qiang people will inevitably lead to the attack of the Qiang people's large army, and if you want to rely on strategy, I am afraid that it will not be so easy, there are only more than 1,000 archers in the city who can fight a battle, and Pingyang County is afraid that it will not be able to hold it" Ding Feng and the two said.

"There is a general's Tianxing Pass fifty miles here, and you can exchange some soldiers to come over, but there are not many copper coins in the device," Yang Yuan said.

"Then what level of exchange is it now" Ding Feng didn't have the exchange authority, so he naturally didn't know the exchange level of the current exchange device, so he asked.

"It's a sixth-level exchange," Yang Yuan replied truthfully.

"You can buy war horses by exchanging them at the sixth level, General Yang might as well sell these more than 1,000 war horses and exchange them for some soldiers, saying that he can't keep Pingyang County," Chi Hu said.
