Chapter 1808 The first battle

Yan Rou took her personal guards to break the rear.

He counted the casualties, and lost twenty-three people, including one personal guard. There were also some injured, but overall they were much less than he expected, and the losses were almost negligible compared to the killing.

The new armor plays a very critical role and has very ideal protective effect. In addition to its advantages of being light and sturdy, the protective effect of the plate-shaped arc armor is particularly excellent, effectively protecting key areas such as the chest and abdomen. Unless the front is stabbed by a spear or shot by a strong crossbow, it is difficult to cause fatal damage. On the contrary, the spears and war knives in their hands can easily tear off the opponent's protection.

The personal guard cavalry equipped with new types of weapons is an invincible spearhead, which provides considerable help to tear apart the opponent's formation. The biggest shortcoming at the moment is the knight's combat power, facing the head and the recoil force is too great. It is very difficult for the knight to clamp the abdomen with his legs, and it is easy to fall off the horse's back. Even if the saddle bridge is raised, it will be useless.

I need to find a way to solve this problem.

"Sir, the Xianbei people are catching up." A personal guard interrupted Yan Rou's contemplation.

Yan Rou turned around and looked at it. He saw some Xianbei knights who had gone around the corner of the mountain and were getting closer and closer. The sound of horse hooves rolled along the valley. Different senses of layers could be heard, indicating that a large number of cavalry chased them down, several miles away along the river valley. I don’t know if Mika was angry or found the dead guard. When he saw Xinjia, he became greedy. No matter what, he was fooled. Yan Rou was happy and ordered the other knights to continue moving forward. He led the guards to stop, turn the horse's head, and launch a charge again.

Another battle of destruction, Yan Rou severely injured the group of Xianbei knights who had chased the nearest, leaving dozens of corpses and leaving. This time he walked very calmly, and even the injured guards who fell off the horse did not fall down. He helped them on the back of the horse and retreated together. Since he had already raised Mika's ambition, he couldn't even leave a piece of armor for Mika.

Yan Rou was familiar with the terrain, traveling through mountains and valleys, like strolling in the garden. Although the Xianbei people had strong troops, they could not spread and could only follow Yan Rou to drill into the valley. After being beaten by Yan Rou several times, they no longer dared to chase them too tightly and could only decorate them far away.

Mijia was very angry, but there was no way. He sent someone to detour to surround Yan Rou, but Yan Rou changed lanes several times, causing his plan to be lost and his energy was exhausted. He was accidentally ambushed by hundreds of cavalry arranged by Yan Rou, and almost even the battle flag was taken away.

Mijia was furious and vowed to catch up with Yan Rou. He firmly believed that in terms of long-distance pursuit, the Han army was definitely not a match for the Xianbei people who lived on the grassland since childhood. Tan Shihuai defeated Zang Min, Xia Yu and others with this advantage, and let tens of thousands of Han soldiers sprinkle blood on the grassland. Moreover, he concluded that the most difficult thing among the Han army was Yan Rou. As long as he could catch Yan Rou, the remaining Taishi Ci and others were vulnerable.

Mijia chased, Yan Rou fled, and more than 10,000 cavalrymen were circling among the mountains for two days, circled a large circle, and slowly moved closer to Baitan Mountain.

At this time, Mijia not only broke off contact with Suli and Queji, but even Huaitou, who came to the appointment, was a little confused. He rushed to the scheduled location, but only saw some traces of the battle, but Mijia himself disappeared.

——

Taishici stood on the hillside and looked at the mountains in the distance.

On the far top of the mountain, a knight stood in the hillside, shaking the flag in his hand, indicating that the enemy was coming. Taishici had excellent eyesight, even surpassing most scouts responsible for looking out and delivering messages.

The enemy is approaching and the battle is about to begin, but in Taishi Ci's mind, the victory or defeat is determined. Mijia pursued Yan Rou for two days, and was trapped in a desperate situation and was ambushed again. Unless his luck is against the will of heaven, he has no chance of being spared.

In one battle, nearly 10,000 Xianbei cavalry were wiped out. This record was enough to allow him to gain a foothold in Youzhou and hold the position of the eastern governor of Youzhou. But he was not happy, but he was a little puzzled. Since the Xianbei people were so vulnerable, why did the Han army was defeated and almost wiped out twenty years ago when they went out of the frontier, which directly led to the demotion of three experienced generals, Zang Min, Xia Yu, and Tian Yan.

Zang Min was a famous general who defeated Xu Zhao and his son, and even Sun Jian had fought under his command. Xia Yu and Tian Yan were generals under Duan Yi. They had been guarding the border for many years. They were all famous generals who had been through life and death, but their career was not going smoothly. Zang Min was better, and later re-appointed and was promoted to 2,000 shi. Xia Yu and Tian Yan completely disappeared and were unable to re-enter the official career. They fought for their entire lives and had only ended in a miserable old age.

Guangwu emphasizes Confucianism, and it is difficult for martial artists to make a name for themselves. Even Sanming, Liangzhou is just like this, let alone others. If I hadn't met Wu Hou, I wouldn't have the opportunity to show my strength.

Taishi Ci said softly, and she sighed endlessly.

There was a faint sound of horns and horse hooves from afar, and dozens of cavalry rushed out of the valley and entered the valley in front of Baitan Mountain. The knights were galloping, while waving the battle flag in their hands. Taishici issued an order to prepare for attack, and the messengers shook the battle flag and sent signals to the ambushing cavalry. The enemy was approaching, and they could not use war drums or horns to send orders, but could only use war flags to convey messages.

Seeing Taishi Ci's response, Yan Rou's subordinates rushed westward along the hillside according to the planned route. Soon, more cavalry surged out of the valley. Their formation was loose but their morale was high. They rode their horses past the hillside. Some raised their weapons, and some used their spears to carry the Xianbei people's hair to show off their military achievements to the robes ambushed on both sides of the hillside.

After several groups of cavalry passed, Yan Rou also appeared. At a high level, the number of personal guards around him had not changed much, and the strength of the war horses was also maintained. The knights rode their horses and turned around to shoot from time to time. Just under the gaze of Taishi Ci and others, Yan Rou also completed a counter-charge, killing several people, forcing the Xianbei people to slow down and send cavalry to encircle them from both sides. However, Yan Rou did not give them the chance to surround them, and the Xianbei people retreated again, which led to the pursuit of the Xianbei people.

Seeing Yan Rou circling the hillside, the main force of the Xianbei people finally appeared, and Mijia's battle flag was listed. Surrounded by more than a thousand personal guards, Mijia entered the valley and came to the slope. Taishici saw Mijia in gorgeous armor under the big flag at a glance, and couldn't help but lift the corner of his mouth.

"Is that person the commander of the Baizhan Tribe Mika?" Taishici pointed.

"It should be him, the battle flag is his." Tian Chou did not have as good eyesight as Tai Shi Ci, but he could see Mijia's battle flag clearly. Seeing Mijia chasing Yan Rou all the way, although he had a lot of troops, his morale was low and his formation was even more difficult. He knew that the outcome of this battle had been decided and his mood was particularly relaxed. He just took a rough look at Yan Rou's team, and it was estimated that Yan Rou's losses were also very limited, better than expected. From this, it can be seen that the armor and dried fish provided by Tai Shi Ci were obvious, giving Yan Rou many advantages.

Taishici saw that most of the Xianbei knights of the Baizhan Tribe had entered the valley and ordered the drum beat.

After ordering, the drummer who had already prepared had been pounding the big drum hard, and the sound of the war drum exploded over the valley like thunder. In the blink of an eye, the sound of the war drums in response sounded on the hillsides on both sides, and dozens of war drums echoed each other and fluctuated back and forth.

Amid the sound of war drums, countless knights hiding behind the hillside rushed up the hillside and began to accelerate along the hillside. The sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid and dense, and gradually became connected, responding to the sound of war drums, majestic and mighty.

Gongsun Xu raised the double-headed steel spear in his hand high and let out a long roar. "White Horse--"

"Invincible!" Dozens of white horses shouted loudly beside him, pulling the horn bow in their hands and shooting with all their might. At this moment, they seemed to be back to the time of following Gongsun Zan to charge into battle. Several knights even shed tears of excitement, but they were still hoarse and shouting loudly, venting the passion in their hearts.

"White Horse--"

"Invincible!" More knights shouted loudly, following Gongsun Xu and Baima Yi accelerated from the horse, whistling down the hillside, and storming towards the chaos of Xianbei people.

When they heard the sound of war drums and saw the figures of cavalry appearing on the hillside, the Xianbei people of the Hundred Battle Tribes knew that something was wrong and were ambushed. When they saw the battle flag of the white horse Gongsun, they heard thousands of cavalry shouting "White Horses Invincible". When they ran down the hillside, they were covered with cold air. Gongsun Zan had been the chief minister of Liaodong vassal state for a long time and fought with the Xianbei people countless times. The reputation of the white horse general and the double-headed iron spear made many Xianbei people dare not underestimate it. At this moment, they saw Gongsun Xu and others galloping, as if they saw Gongsun Zan again, and subconsciously wanted to avoid the front.

With the acceleration of the hillside, Gongsun Xu and others first shot a rain of arrows and then rushed into the Xianbei formation. They did not seek to kill, but ran wildly, quickly cutting the Xianbei formation. Despite this, they still had a great impact on the Xianbei people. With the speed of the war horses, the spear pierced the Xianbei people's armor, chest, and sword cut the Xianbei people's leather armor and throat. After pursuing for two days, the exhausted Xianbei people could not stop these Han knights who were ascended to the mountain and were killed and fled everywhere.

On that side, Yang Meng led two thousand Yuyang Tuqi to rush down the hillside and entered the Xianbei formation. Although Liu Bei had taken care of him, they only helped Taishi Ci with one hand, and it didn't matter how much he made, but the situation in front of him was very obvious. The Xianbei people were already at the end of their strength. When would they take credit if they didn't take credit? Without Taishi Ci's care, these Yuyang Tuqi decided to do their best, not for Taishi Ci, but for themselves.

The five thousand cavalry teams were a team of thousands of people. Under the leadership of their respective lieutenants and Sima, they ran in the Xianbei formation and quickly cut off Mijia's retreat, killing the Xianbei people, and screaming in a row. Although the Xianbei people tried their best to organize counterattacks, they were attacked from the side and were not physically strong. The enemy came from both sides, cutting off their formation like scissors. The soldiers did not see generals, generals did not see soldiers, and the horns were heard one after another, but they could not convey any effective information. They had superior troops but could not exert them. As soon as they fought, they fell into a full passive attitude.

Mijia's scalp was numb. He ignored the sound of trumpets behind him and just stared at the hillside. He believed that the most fatal blow would definitely be launched from there, and that was the best position for the frontal assault. The cavalry on both sides just wanted to cut off his retreat.
