Chapter 157: Desperate Survival
When the hussars got closer, Riich found that the hussars were also escorting dozens of grain and grass carts, and where the wheels rolled over, they kicked up dust to the sky.
Ruiqi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and led a group of cavalry and infantry to rush out of the city gate to meet the hussars.
At this moment, a group of Capricorn Rangers rushed out in the distance, approaching the grain delivery team to harass them.
The hussars surrounded the situation and formed a circle around the rangers.
Riich looked closely at the rangers, about two or three hundred horses, and about five hundred hussars surrounded them and fought.
Suddenly, the rangers were broken up and sped away in all directions. However, quite a few Rangers went straight to the grain trucks, intending to attack the escorts and the grain and grass on these carts.
Riich can't wait, this grain and grass is coming at the right time, but at this moment, it must not be won by those rangers.
So he gave an order, and a group of infantry and cavalry under his command swarmed up, surrounded the grain trucks, and protected the vehicles and went straight to the back gate of the main city.
When the rangers saw that the harassment could not be carried out, they scattered in all directions with a flicker, and from time to time they unleashed cold arrows from their horses.
Riche took the lead and led the cavalry straight towards the enemy, and when he approached one of the leading cavalrymen, the two men exchanged hands on their horses.
Huyan Ruiqi pulled out his gilded mace and slammed it at the Ranger, who was wearing a wolfskin hat with a hairy tail behind the hat and neat black armor, as if this was a centurion who was the leader.
The centurion, with a pair of leopard eyes and a beard, wielded a mace in his hand, slammed it straight into Riich's shoulder.
Ricky dodged the mace, swept the horse past the centurion, and smashed it into the centurion's back with a wave of gilt mace.
The centurion was struck in the back, grinning in pain, and turned his horse to face Riich and continued to smash Huyan Riich.
As soon as Riich raised his hand and used a gilt mace to hold the mace, the sound of "" shook Riich's arm numb.
At this time, Riich walked to the centurion again, raised the gilt mace and slammed the centurion's waist, but the centurion was prepared, and put the mace across his waist to stop Riich's pumping, and then, while Riich's horse was staggered, he swung the mace and smashed it on Riich's back.
Ricky was caught off guard and was hit in the back by the centurion's stick, and he felt a sharp pain, but fortunately, the soft silver armor on his body blocked the sharp teeth of the mace, and did not pierce the armor, but he could feel that the original wound on his back seemed to be ruptured.
In a hurry, Richie rode away from the centurion, reached out and pulled out his bow and arrows, picked up the big bow and turned around, and shot a sharp arrow at the centurion on the horse.
The centurion was in a daze, wondering if Riich was about to be defeated and walked back to the city, but he was caught off guard by an arrow in the throat and fell to the ground.
When the rangers who were riding back and forth around saw the centurion fall to the ground and die, they fled to the distant mountains and forests with a whistle.
The grain trucks saw the siege and sped up to drive the vehicles into the city. A group of hussars surrounded the grain cart and entered the city gate safely.
Huyan Ruiqi hurriedly ordered the cavalry and infantry guarding everywhere to gather their formations and retreat into the city, and immediately closed the city gate and strengthened it.
When he dismounted, he felt unbearable pain from the wound on his back and shoulder, which seemed to be a recurrence of an old wound. Originally, the wound that was hit by the hidden weapon before departure did not heal, but now it was accidentally hit by a stick, which caused the old injury to recur.
He touched his back with his hand, then led the horse away, and walked back to the house by himself, hoping to wait for his father to apply him another dose of gold sore medicine.
The wound was very painful and hot, Rui Qi took off his armor and lay on his side at the head of the bed, and General Hu Yan put the gold sore medicine he carried with him on Rui Qi.
At this point, the wound was bruised, and a little dark red blood flowed out. 、
After applying the medicine, General Huyan put gauze around Riich's shoulder several times to fix the wound. Ruiqi breathed a sigh of relief, but still happily told his father: "Father is good this time, the hussars have sent grain and grass, there are dozens of carts, this time we are saved!"
General Huyan was very calm: "There is food and grass, but it can only last for a period of time, we don't know when Gartnu will retire, it is not so easy to defeat him, and your wound will also affect future battles, it seems that it is not the right time for you to be injured!"
Ruiqi was open-minded: "What does it matter if I am injured, the key is that the grain and grass are brought in, the people and soldiers have something to eat, and I also killed a centurion, which is enough!"
General Huyan laughed: "You are worthy of being a general of the first army, so frank and open, so courageous! It's just that you should hurry up and recuperate your injuries during this period of time, don't move the wounds, lest the injuries be serious, remember to ask someone to change your dressing on time!"
Riich nodded, a smile on her face, "Okay, father, I remember!"
After the grain and grass carts entered the city, the people and the soldiers defending the city cheered together, this time there were dozens of truckloads of grain and grass, enough for everyone to eat for a while, and with them some dried vegetables and salted meat and other things, it seems that everyone can improve their food.
In the evening, the soldiers distributed the food among the people, and the people and soldiers of the city had a full dinner.
Suddenly, the morale of the people in the city was high.
The guards made a bowl of salted meat for Huyan Ruiqi and General Huyan and brought it to their table, followed by several bowls of dry rice.
It's been a long time since Riich has had a dinner like this, and the smell of shiny sliced meat and white rice wafts through the large bowl.
Suddenly Rui Qi felt a pang of hunger in her stomach, stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of salted meat and chewed it.
The fat and lean bacon was shining in Riich's mouth, and Riich felt that this piece of bacon was so fresh and delicious at this time. Maybe I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so much so that I think it's delicious when I see fatty meat.
The hussars were dispatched by the imperial court from the garrison adjacent to the main city, and the dozens of grain trucks came with the army.
The imperial court learned of the plight of the main city from the flying pigeon biography, and hurriedly sent the book to the garrison to dispatch grain, grass and troops to rescue the besieged Huyan army.
At this moment, they came at the right time, it was the time when the defenders of the main city were in internal and external difficulties, and the city was about to run out of food and cooking, and the arrival of the hussars was a timely rain, which solved the crisis of hunger and cold in the city.
The burden on the hearts of Huyan Liexiong and Ruiqi has been put down for the time being, but how to break through and defeat the army of the Capricorn Kingdom is still waiting for the opportunity to come.
How to unite the forces of the two wings to see the weak points of Gartnu, flank them from three sides, and completely destroy Gartnu's forces, Huyan Liexiong is considering.
But he knew that Gartnu had weaknesses, and it was just a matter of waiting for the moment when he was powerless to summon evil spirits, and he still needed a chance.
As long as Gartnu can summon evil spirits to help, then they may not be able to defeat Gartnu even if they are attacked from three sides, you must know that there is a group of wolf-like beast soldiers under Gartnu's hands, and at this time, the armies on both wings have also suffered heavy losses and are retreating from retreat.
Huyan Yexiong pinched his fingers and counted the arrival of the full moon night, and it was unknown what happened to Gartnu at that time.
