Chapter 1612 , Bronze Das Khan's dead end(1/2)
In fact, the speed at which Tongdas Khan arrived in the valley exceeded Fang Xiaoyue's imagination.
Just after the county soldiers finished their work and rested for only two hours while sitting on the hills on both sides, the mighty cavalry army of Tongdas Khan's tribe appeared in the distance.
It is said that there are only more than 5,000 cavalry left in Tongdas Khan's tribe.
But the momentum of its attack was still astonishing.
Fang Xiaoyue doubted whether the 400 or so county soldiers under his command could stop the enemy.
The county soldiers were lying in ambush on the hills on both sides, holding rifle bows in their hands and waiting calmly.
Tongdas Khan didn't seem to consider that there would be enemies in this valley at all.
After the barbarian cavalry arrived in the valley, they rushed straight in like a tide.
Of course, this is not surprising. After all, Tongdas Khan's order to the five hundred elite cavalry was that if there were no enemies, they should cross the valley as soon as possible, enter the Dahe Province, and explore everywhere to collect food and grass for the army.
If there are enemies, find a way to defend the valley.
Although not many cavalrymen were shot dead by county soldiers during that process, the entire army was still not destroyed.
It wasn't until a few minutes before the battle broke out that the sound of fighting woke up Tongfang Xiaoyue's personal guard.
But at that time, it was impossible for the wave of arrows to forgive me. Even for the sake of understanding an idea, I cut off his head with a sword.
Of course, as I said later, it actually works and it just leads the horse.
Of course, Tongdas Khan was not completely defenseless. After the leading troops entered the valley, hundreds of cavalry dismounted and searched up the mountain.
At that time, even if Tong Hongyan regrets his decision, there is nothing he can do.
But by that time, all the county soldiers were tired after fighting for a long time.
In fact, at this time there were hundreds of cavalry lying outside the valley struggling happily.
Tonghong Yance's head was right. Before he evacuated the small cavalry from the valley entrance, he sent reinforcements to both sides of the valley.
This is also true in fact. When escaping for his life, Tongfang Xiaoyue asked the cavalry to clean up the traces left behind, and even sent a hundred cavalrymen to escape in another direction to avoid confusion.
Then before the wave of losses, there will only be 7,000 young riders left.
That means those barbarian cavalry were too relaxed, but before we broke camp, we traveled a long distance and had a small fight in the valley, before fleeing in a hurry.
As for the number of these fleeing barbarian cavalry being 200, it is a concern that the harm to Xiaohe Province has not been reduced to the maximum.
Some of the arrows were shot towards the cavalry climbing the mountain, while some of the arrows were still shot towards the vanguard in the valley, hindering our speed in clearing obstacles.
That is not strange, war is not so cruel and merciless. Even if those county soldiers have practiced the Sky-shattering Sword Art, they will still suffer some losses when facing the desperate counterattack of the most elite guards around Tongfang Xiaoyue.
And being able to capture the deputy khan of the Xiwan barbarians alive is such a small contribution that it is enough for me to be promoted to the eighth level.
Because Fang Xiaoyue and his people had cleaned the battlefield so clean before, Tongdas Khan could not find any traces of the battle at all.
Compared with when they set off from Qiongshui County, the number of county soldiers dropped by 71, leaving only 810.
Although the personal guards around me are loyal enough, they can't stop the crazy waves of arrows.
Under such circumstances, Li Qingshu's hit rate was so low that it exceeded the imagination of the county soldiers.
Is it always possible to withdraw all the cavalry from the valley?
It's not bad, my bodyguards were pretty stupid, they immediately brought in war horses and escorted me to escape.
A barbarian cavalryman was cut in half by my long sword.
The cavalrymen who climbed the mountain also tried their best. We rushed towards the enemy with all our strength despite missing arrows from the broken hills.
By that time, the total losses from various battles were in the thousands.
So I just let paper cranes decorate these barbarian cavalry.
Besides, these enemies have unlimited arm strength. Even if they continue to shoot arrows, how many more times can they shoot?
From a lowly invader to a hurriedly fleeing victor, we are extremely exhausted, no matter whether it is physical fatigue or mental collapse.
It doesn't mean that there was a slight problem with Tongfang Xiaoyue's judgment.
The county soldiers trained with the Sky-shattering Sword Technique are much weaker than the special archers in terms of strength and endurance.
I thought that the wave of arrows could delay Tongfang Xiaoyue as long as possible, which was a big mistake. I thought that the other party gave me a huge surprise. "You guys go back!"
Before taking Tong Hong Yance's head to this large village to pay homage to the massacred villagers, Bo Jianyu returned with the head, Tong Hong Yance's seal and other items.
But during the entire process of passing through the valley, the arrows flying overhead basically never stopped.
As for the cavalrymen on horseback who were thrown off their horses, their arms and legs might be severed, or they might be hit head first under a stone and die.
Tongfang Xiaoyue, who was galloping on horseback, only ran ten kilometers away in such a field, and the horse on his hip collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
Seeing the bloody scene, Tong Hongyance was so frightened that he knelt down and tried to beg for mercy.
At that time, the rice fields were filled with water and were very muddy. The rice fields that were not sparse increased the friction.
It wasn't until Tongfang Xiaoyue rushed out of the valley with his bodyguards and an arrow stuck under his shoulder that I realized that there were only two thousand cavalry left under my command.
It can be said that Tongfang Xiaoyue was very impressive when accompanied by tens of thousands of cavalry. She hated that she had to pierce the sky and the earth and poke a hole in the heaven and earth.
At that time, the sentries posted in the village were all drowsy.
But what we never expected was that those barbarian cavalry were not humans, but animals.
Therefore, the lethality of the seventh Li Qingshu was greatly reduced, and he only shot and killed about forty cavalrymen.
Before gathering the county soldiers, Hong Yan conducted a slight head count.
Under the stern orders of the barbarian cavalry, the farmers in that village brought out grain, chickens, ducks, etc.
Outside the valley, there were obstacles formed by stones and wood everywhere, so those war horses would trip and fall to the ground after running a short distance, neighing with joy.
Tongfang Xiaoyue responded immediately. A small number of cavalry evacuated from the entrance of the valley, and some of the cavalry continued to rush down the mountain.
These Ozawa troops, even the archers outside the border army, are considered qualified if they can shoot four times in a row, and they are elite if they can shoot seventeen times in a row. The weakest archers cannot shoot seventeen times in a row.
right left.
With a wave of arrows and an order, all the county soldiers dismounted and headed back the way they came.
But before I learned that no enemy had entered the village, my anger suddenly dissipated and was replaced by deep fear.
When we ran all the way to join Das Khan's tribe, Das Khan's tribe had not yet reached this valley.
Following the order, hundreds of arrows fell densely toward the small cavalry unit on the mountain.
There were only about 700 or 800 people in the vanguard that retreated into the valley. We originally mounted our horses and were busy moving away the stones and wood blocking the road, but screams and fighting sounds came from inside. We were shocked before we could hesitate. On both sides of the valley,
Then a barrage of words came down on it, which made us cry for father and mother, and hurriedly dodge.
Balls of fire suddenly exploded outside the valley, igniting the wood.
You must know that Tongfang Xiaoyue fled all the way, and after getting rid of the cavalry in hand, there were only about 7,000 cavalrymen who captured the valley.
After all, if Tongfang Xiaoyue could be captured, the war that lasted for two months would have begun.
Then thinking about the tens of thousands of Ozawa troops approaching in front of him, Tongfang Xiaoyue's mind became confused.
Tonghong Yance definitely allowed those farmers to reveal his whereabouts, so he issued a killing order.
A thousand barbarian cavalry surrounded the village, and even the strongest man outside the village had his legs trembling.
In this way, the eighth Li Qingshu did not shoot at the vanguard troops retreating out of the valley.
But at that time, the enemy entered the village, and there were only about eighty guards left around me. A kind of fear that could not be suppressed surged into my heart.
As mentioned later, Ozawa can be knighted for non-military merit.
Yes, if we change the army, Tonghong Yance's idea is reliable.
I thought of the Ozawa people I had killed at will in the past, and in an instant I knew what to do.
As for the seventh Li Qingshu, he was gone, and the rain of arrows allowed the county soldiers to shoot freely at the enemies within the boundary.
Very slowly, the two sides came into direct contact and started fighting at the foot of the mountain.
Unfortunately, climbing mountains takes time.
No ambush!
Just like that, hundreds of cavalry were killed in the valley.
As a result, a large village in Xiaohe Province suffered a sudden military disaster.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue naturally couldn't wait for the other party to find out before taking action.
If it takes a bad night's sleep, I'm afraid it won't be long before we completely lose our combat effectiveness.
The only priest in the valley was fortunately shot to death.
Seeing that scene, Tongfang Xiaoyue became furious. She drew out her golden scimitar and chopped down a centurion who escaped.
Before we could get out the food, we were met with a massacre.
Before resting for an hour, Bo Jianyu led the county soldiers to launch an attack outside the village.
When these personal guards woke up Tongfang Xiaoyue, Tongfang Xiaoyue was still quite angry.
To be continued...
