Chapter 293: Night Attack in the Pine Forest

There is a hill in the northeast of Pingyang County, and the hills are covered with pine trees. Although it was just spring, the pine trees were lush and green, blocking a large area of view, and 2,000 Qiang cavalry had been lying in ambush in the pine forest for two days. The original caution has also been wiped out by time. The Qiang cavalry looked up at the sky bored, and saw that the clouds on the edge of the sky were little condensed and blown away a little bit.

Even if they ambushed the soldiers near the north gate of Pingyang County, what made them crazy was that the entire north gate was quiet, without the slightest trace of opening, and they didn't know how long it would be before the Han would abandon the city and leave. The rumbling of their stomachs told them that they would not be able to lift their scimitars until they went back to replenish them. I can't climb a war horse.

A Qiang cavalry rushed to the pine forest, and several Qiang generals hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Did the king let us go back?"

"Nope. The king said that if he did not see the Han army fleeing at noon tomorrow, he could return to the camp" The soldier shook his head and sighed.

Suddenly, several people collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball, in order to save physical strength, they were not even willing to walk back to their soldiers' side, and the general also sat on the ground with a bitter face, although Ke Muzhi was a little smart, but he was stubborn and self-serving, and rarely listened to the opinions of others, in his eyes, the entire Qiang tribe belonged to him the smartest.

And in a col not far away. Two sneaky figures slowly poked their heads out.

"Can you do it now" Yang Yuan had forgotten that this was the first time he had asked this question, since the two thousand cavalry broke away from the large army, he wanted to wipe out all the Qiang people. Snatch the horses back for cavalry. But every time he was vetoed by Chi Hu, shaking his head.

"It's almost, the Qiang people haven't eaten for a day, and they will do it at night," Chi Hu stared at the pine forest and said without looking back.

Yang Yuan looked up at the sky, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and if he wanted to wait until the night, he would have to wait for at least a dozen hours, so he couldn't help sighing, lying on the hillside, looking up at the clouds.

After a day of fighting, the Qiang people once again left behind the corpses of hundreds of Qiang soldiers and withdrew into the distance. However, Ding Feng came down and opened the city gate, ordered the soldiers to put away their weapons and arrows one by one, bury the corpses, and dig the filled trench again. Place sharpened wood inside, and clean up the clutter that can hide your body. Even the blood, Ding Feng had people bury it with dry soil, trying his best to erase the traces of the Qiang people's attack.

And all this was done under the noses of the Qiang people, who willingly watched the Han soldiers, piled up their Qiang corpses and burned them. They also attacked when the Han people went out of the city, but apart from losing a few hundred soldiers in vain, they did not play a big role, because the use of troops at night was too unfriendly to the besiegers.

By the time Ding Feng finished all this, it was already the third watch, and on the other side. Yang Yuan waited for the best time, but what made him mad was that Chi Hu led more than 1,000 people to the dense forest to sneak attack, and asked him to take 200 cavalry to ambush outside the dense forest. In the dense forest, it was impossible to ride a war horse, and all the thousand people were cavalry who got off the war horse.

One by one, they carried spears, followed behind Chi Hu, and slowly killed in the pine forest. In the dense forest, the line of sight is blocked, and it is night, and sometimes it is difficult to see the figure clearly from three or five steps away. The Qiang cavalry did not carry tents, and they were huddled together in groups of three or five to keep warm, and as for the war horses and weapons, they were not far away.

With the sound of the spear piercing into the body, a muffled snort continued to think in the pine forest, and then there was a scream, the Qiang cavalry was awakened, groped to their war horse, grabbed the scimitar next to the war horse in his hand, and there was a trace of stability on his panicked face, but he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and a spear stabbed into his body from the side, he didn't know it, and slashed around with a scimitar indiscriminately, and as a result, he accidentally cut a long hole in the neck of his companion next to him. There is also a companion on Huangquan Road.

The generals of the Qiang people were shocked, hurriedly lit torches, beckoned the soldiers to move closer to him, and did not dare to delay when they gathered hundreds of soldiers, and rushed out of the dense forest. The Qiang general hurriedly raised his scimitar to resist, but the strength of the horse lance was beyond his expectations.

The Qiang generals only felt numb in their arms. The scimitar came out of his hand, and a sharp shout came from his head, so that he didn't understand until he died.

"Be careful not to hurt the warhorse, otherwise it won't be worth much"

Yang Yuan shouted, while stabbing several Qiang cavalry in the way off their horses, there were constantly Qiang cavalry out of the dense forest, but they were greeted by a spear, only the first wave of two or three hundred people barely rode out on war horses, and most of the later ones ran out, in front of the cavalry, there was no room to fight back.

A round of red sun broke through the clouds on the horizon, and the killing of the night gradually stopped, except for the hundreds of Qiang people who fled indiscriminately, most of the rest died near the pine forest, and the edge of the pine forest was full of corpses.

Waiting for all the war horses to gather together, Yang Yuan couldn't help but slap Chi Hu's shoulder.

"Boy, okay, we're rich now"

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and quickly withdraw to Tianxing Pass"

When Ke Muzhi got the news that the cavalry had been attacked, he hurriedly led 3,000 cavalry to support, but nothing was left except for the corpses in one place. Suddenly angry, he killed a few soldiers who fled back, and the anger in his heart calmed down slightly.

At this time, in the Tianxing Pass, Yang Yuan watched Chi Hu operate the exchange device with an excited face.

War Horse 1746 price 45 silver coins per unit, excellent quality price increase of 20%. A total of 94,284 credits were obtained.

War Horse 112 price 45 silver per unit, 5040 silver coins.

"I'll leave me here, I'll come" Yang Yuan hurriedly rushed over, and then clicked on the purchase page. After buying a thousand one-star cavalrymen, he said with a sneer.

Chi Hu didn't care about him, bought two thousand one-star archers, and bought another hundred ox carts before turning off the exchange device.

"Now can we do something to the two thousand Qiang cavalry in ambush in the west" Yang Yuan couldn't help but ask excitedly when he saw Chi Hu finishing his work.

"The leader of the Qiang people has suffered such a big loss, how can he not take precautions, wait for me to send these two thousand soldiers to the city, and then find a way" Chi Hu said with a smile.

Although Yang Yuan was a little disappointed when he heard this, he also knew that what Chi Hu said was the truth, and seeing that Chi Hu had been thinking about sending soldiers to Pingyang County, but he himself had not purchased even a single soldier, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Are you and Ding Feng brothers, you think so much about him"

"Brother, it's not counted, we were all recruited from Ziwei Terrace in Luoyang, and our kind of talents are a little different from generals"

After Chi Hu finished speaking, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
