Chapter 67: Engagement

"What about the other guards?" Du Xuan asked.

"The eldest prince is now stationed in the Ishibashi Senhe Office, so there shouldn't be any problem. On the side of the guard, there should be no barbarian army to pass. However, several thousand houses close to the Lingtai Guard have been lost. The main reason is that the barbarian army came suddenly, plus the defense of Qianhusuo is relatively lacking, and the military strength plus the militia group, the garrison force of a Qianhusuo is less than 2,000. The barbarian army pressed in, and the thousand households naturally couldn't resist it. The Qianhu Office close to Chiyangwei had already withdrawn all the military and civilian grain to Chiyangwei. It's not a big loss. Bi Shoubin marked several guards on the map that had been occupied by the barbarian army. These guards happen to be on the line from Lingtaiwei to Chiyangwei. The rest of the thousand houses and forts have not yet been affected.

"The barbarian army is tens of thousands, and the daily consumption must be amazing. The reason why they want to knock down all the thousands of households and hundred forts on this line is mainly to establish a grain route. Bi Shoubin, how about you take your dragon scale cavalry squad and attack the barbarian dog's food route?" Du Xuan asked.

"Absolutely. Bi Shoubin said.

"Remember, if you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run. If the dog's food can be returned, get it back, and if you can't get it back, don't leave it to the dog. Du Xuan said.

"Yes. I couldn't get it back, so I just burned it. Bi Shoubin smiled.

"Hu Benrui. Du Xuan's eyes looked at Hu Benrui.

Hu Benrui immediately stood up: "The subordinates are here!"

"You immediately take someone to find out the activities of the barbarian army near Chiyangwei. We are about to go to Chiyangwei, and our whereabouts cannot be known to the barbarians. Du Xuan said.

"Obey! The subordinates will find out the activities of the barbarians, and sweep away all the barbarian scouts. Hu Benrui immediately set off with his team. His squad was now not a twelve, but a hundred and twenty. It is equivalent to the strength of a hundred households.

"Yang Wancai. Du Xuan shouted again.

"The subordinates are here!" Yang Wancai stood up.

"You're in charge of guarding the Black Bear Castle and training recruits. It is necessary to make them combat effective as soon as possible. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the situation around Black Bear Castle, and don't let the wild dogs take our nest. Du Xuan said.

Yang Wancai had already been assigned the task, so it was not surprising that Du Xuan gave this order, but everyone was able to go out to fight, but he was the only one who stayed behind, which was really frustrating.

"Don't act like this, your mission is important. If you are stable here, we will have no worries. And we're waiting for your recruits to replenish your troops. With our little strength, fighting with the barbarians is not very useful. Du Xuan said.

"Yes. The subordinates will definitely complete the task. Yang Wancai had a little spirit at this time.

Hu Benrui led the team to the front and swept all the way. Du Xuan personally led 2,000 men and horses to follow. Chen Xiaochu and Xu Bazhi, two recruits with outstanding performance, were pulled into the team by Hu Benrui with great effort.

Xu Bazhi is the most majestic now, and his mount is the maroon dragon scale horse leader, which is exactly the same as the mount of the third prince. It is a head taller than the dragon scale mounts of other cavalrymen.

Xu Bazhi has now become the captain of a squad under Hu Benrui, while Chen Xiaochu has become the deputy of the squad. Xu Bazhi and Chen Xiaochu ran at the front with a team of twelve horsemen, and only then ran up a small hill when they met a group of barbarian scouts.

"Old eight, that's the barbarian scout!" Chen Xiaochu's words were full of excitement and nervousness.

"Let's eat them! Don't let them go. Xu Bazhi said.

"They can't outrun our dragon scale horses, and we will catch them off guard. The third prince has ordered, don't let the wild dogs know the whereabouts of our battalion, and not let any of them go!" Chen Xiaochu said.

Xu Bazhi rushed out at once, and his dragon scale horse leader started much faster than ordinary dragon scale horses, and his speed was also a lot faster, leaving all the people and horses of the team behind him at once. Single-handedly rushed to the front.

The barbarian scouts were also more than a dozen people, and they discovered Xu Bazhi and Chen Xiaochu and their party almost at the same time. The barbarian scouts are the elite of the barbarian cavalry. Most of the people in this group were wearing leather armor, and one of them was wearing a white armor, which looked very imposing. Being able to equip a suit of white armor naturally reflects that his identity is extraordinary. The rest of the brutes are also battle-hardened characters. Therefore, as soon as he found Xu Bazhi and his party, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and pressed towards Xu Bazhi and his party very contemptuously.

"Don't be nervous later, just get on your knees on horseback, block their shots with your shield, and when they get closer, we'll strike them all in one fell swoop. Xu Bazhi said.

After that test, Xu Bazhi has now become much calmer, full of confidence, and very organized when he speaks.

At a distance of more than a hundred paces, the barbarians began to shoot arrows with bows. The arrows whistled and flew towards Xu Bazhi's team. Most of the arrows hit the dragonscale horse, but they were not able to break through the dragonscale horse's defenses, but after hitting the dragonscale horse's scales, they immediately bounced out.

And the cavalry sitting on horseback, most of the attacks were blocked by the dragon scale horse, and the cavalry were prostrate on the horseback according to Xu Bazhi's instructions, and the small shield they carried with them blocked the upper part to prevent the attack of the bow and arrow that slipped through the net.

When it comes to riding and shooting, Xu Bazhi's recruits are naturally not as good as the barbarians who grew up on horseback. Therefore, they simply concentrated on defense, and waited until they engaged the barbarians before launching a surprise attack, which was sure to hit with one blow.

After the barbarian scouts ran closer, they finally saw the mounts of the Great Qi cavalry clearly.

"Dragonscale horses! So many dragonscale horses! My lord, we're going to get rich. The leather armor barbarian immediately said to the white armor beside him.

"Don't let them run away! Kill these Daqi people, these dragon scale horses will be ours!" Bai Jia was overjoyed. Along the way, they met many Great Qi people, and none of them were their enemies. I didn't expect to be able to meet a team of Daqi scouts riding dragon scale horses here. For him, it was a bonus.

It's just that these Great Qi scouts are so cowardly that they don't even fight back, and directly hide their bodies behind the neck of the dragon scale horse. The first round of shooting did not achieve any results.

Bai Jia was not worried, in his impression, the combat effectiveness of the Great Qi people was extremely poor, even if he couldn't clean it up with a bow and arrow, he would be able to clean up this group of Great Qi scouts in the engagement.

Xu Bazhi tilted his head sideways and said to the members of the team: "Be careful later! This brute dog is not so easy to deal with." Don't be soft, just treat these brutes as beasts. ”
