When the Wuding River Ferry was moving like ants, it was transporting the Tiance Army's men and horses to the other side bit by bit.
On the grassland highlands, the cavalry of the Northern Army of Daqian Ding finally stopped after harassing the army led by Duke Lvov for a day.
There were only 700 cavalry left in the first team, and each person could only receive less than ten arrows, and the dry food they brought with them could only be divided into half a cake.
Looking at the slowly moving enemy troops, this Dingbei cavalry team tried their best. They successfully "blocked" the enemy troops for two days.
"Put out the smoke!" Captain Tong Xi ordered to the only two remaining captains.
At this point in the battle, there is no way to win or lose. The soldiers can only use their lives. If they can stop the enemy for a moment, it will be a moment. If they can slow down the enemy's movement, it will be a point.
After the smoke was extinguished, Tong Xi asked Liu Kunyang, the youngest member of the Dingbei Army in the team, to take a military book full of names of people in the team. This military book was full of names and birthplaces. The Dingbei Army was too busy and had no time to go. With no injuries on their bodies, they had no time to prepare the army. They gathered 200 people and found a captain to lead them, and ten regiments to find a captain to lead them.
Such anxious insurrectionary troops have never been encountered in child attacks in the border areas for almost ten years.
Tong Xi didn't know if there were any deserters. If they escaped, they would die, but Tong Xi didn't think there were many people who would abandon their families and survive in this world.
Tong Xi was born as a general, and he was different from most generals. When he got the selection order from Zhechong Mansion, he begged his grandfather and grandma to join the Anbei Protectorate because the book he had read said that the Langyan Mountains were his former territory. , Tong Xi has been determined since he was a child to achieve the feat of immediately becoming a marquis on Langyan Mountain.
As he got older, he understood the rule that generals should not be promoted to nobles. However, this did not destroy his original intention of guarding the border.
After the Anbei Protectorate was abolished, he did not go to Beiya Sixth Army like others, but stayed on this grassland.
Because every time Tong Xi passed by Wuding River, he could hear the voices of people he was familiar with.
Undetermined! Undetermined!
"Send the order! After eating the dry food, build the formation!"
"Here!"
…
Tong Xi took out the half piece of dry biscuit from his arms, picked up a handful of snow from the ground, put it in his mouth, let it turn into snow water, and finished bit by bit the dry and hard half of the biscuit in his hand. After eating, Tong Xi looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, with the falling snowflakes, looking to the south, where nine plumes of wolf smoke had already been lit, heading north to block the enemy's Dingbei Army heading south. Already in place.
"I really miss the noodle soup made by Rui'er!" Tong Xi said with a smile. He patted his horse, and the horse snorted. The heat turned into white mist in the air, and Tong Xi flipped over.
"Boys, mount your horses, let's kill some more!"
Tong Xi held the gun barrel. The hemp rope used to increase the grip on the gun barrel had turned red. The patent leather on the gun barrel had some cracks due to excessive use. Finally, Tong Xi tied himself to the saddle with a strip of cloth. .
It was already evening at this time, and Duke Lvov was sitting in the warm tent, dazed. He didn't understand why those large cavalrymen continued to attack him as if they were risking their lives after he stopped his army.
With nearly 700 people, Tong Xi was divided into seven teams.
He led the first team of 100 people and first fired seven or eight white-feathered arrows in the arrow pot, causing chaos among the enemy troops.
"Follow me to build the formation! Hahaha...uh"
Seeing the enemy soldiers holding crossbows in the enemy formation, Tong Xi laughed and urged his horses to charge forward.
The enemy's formation was not disturbed by the rain of arrows, and there was no gap for them to stay in the formation.
But Tong Xi laughed and rushed forward, and the cavalry behind him also followed Tong Xi and plunged into the enemy formation full of mirror armor.
If there were no gaps in the formation, then Tong Xi would be the cavalry's arrows. Before charging, he would tie himself to Tong Xi. Before the war horse rushed into the enemy formation, he would not be breathing, and his body would be covered with crossbow arrows. Fortunately, Tong Xi would give the horse its head. Two pine boards were hung in front of him. The moisture-laden pine boards blocked the crossbow arrows that shot the war horses, giving the horses a chance to attack the enemy's formation.
However, the side and back of the war horse were attacked by spears and daggers, and wounds as long as the palm of the hand instantly appeared. The blood of the war horse flowed faster due to the charge, and the blood vessels were cut open, and the blood dyed the mirror armor red like splashing water.
From the time the sun set to the next morning, Duke Lvov did not sleep at all. Those crazy light cavalry were doing things they were not good at.
It seems like we are rushing into battle all the time.
These large cavalrymen charging madly into the formation made Duke Lvov look back at the scene when the Russian army formation was broken two years ago.
When the Nine Barbarians and the two knights arrived the next day, Duke Lvov simply said hello and went back to the tent to sleep.
This time, one hundred and ninety thousand Sirens were riding in front, with Duke Lvov's one hundred and forty thousand Guards in the center, and two knights walking at the back.
The surrounding area is surrounded by cavalry, and now Duke Lvov can sleep well.
It's just that a team is only as fast as the slowest person.
Duke Lvov's 140,000 Guards troops could only march forty miles a day. Due to the snowy weather, they could only maintain a marching speed of thirty miles, and they also had to leave large numbers of Guardsmen behind along the way. Logistics supply routes are constructed based on the villages below.
It’s just that the Dingbei Army did not choose to attack the enemy’s baggage, because there are only a few such opportunities in a war. They did not want to alert the enemy, so they could only play hide and seek with the Jiuhu people in the snow. The grassland was vast and there were many There is plenty of space for these light cavalry to gallop.
At this time, the cavalry team had no auxiliary troops, and the dry food was carried on the spare horses.
After eating the food, they killed the horses. They were afraid of causing fire and the Jiuhu people would find out, so they could only eat raw horse meat.
This is the homeland where the Jiuhu people once lived, but it also belongs to the Daqian people. The Jiuhu people are familiar with this place, and the Daqian Dingbei Army is also familiar with it. After all, this is also their home.
Snow means frostbite and reduced numbers, but for an army with only the order to fight to the death, the whole body may have lost its vitality before the toes and fingers are frozen to death.
After you sing, I will appear on the stage. In this grassland, the people from the grassland came to build villages and cultivate the land, while the Jiuhu people came to destroy the villages and restore the pastures.
Neither side felt that they had done anything wrong, and both considered the other party to be the saboteur.
The protagonist of this grassland is always the strongest one.
"Captain Li, please bear with me!"
Li Ji nodded, endured the severe pain, and asked his team to trim the feather arrow shafts hanging on his arms neatly, then wrap the bandages around them and tie them tightly!
"Huh! It hurts so much. These Jiuhu cavalry are much harder to fight than before." If it were normal for such an arrow wound that didn't hurt the bones, Li Ji would choose to pull out the arrow and bandage the wound. A few months later He is another good man, but now he has time to recuperate.
The whole army is fighting to the death, and Li Ji will not do anything to survive. Although he ran here from his home in Qinzhou, Longyou, and has no contact with his family, he really wants to take a look at Qinzhou City at this moment, but he doesn't know that he After death, can the clan leader allow several male children to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan?
"Colonel Lieutenant, the enemy has moved again!" A cavalryman rushed into the woods at full speed. He fell off his horse and ignored the wounds on his face that were scratched by branches. When he found Li Ji, he quickly said what he saw.
"Get on the horse, get on the horse, let's go find trouble with the Jiuhu people again!" Li Ji tied the armor on his left arm and shouted loudly to the surroundings.
There are only about 70 people in a regiment of 200 cavalry here.
But for Li Ji, the number of people is no longer what he cares about, as long as he can delay the enemy for some time.
"Get on your horse! Follow me closely!" Li Ji got on his horse and rushed out of the woods.
I happened to encounter the Nine-hud Sirius Cavalry passing by the woods. The two armies met and greeted each other with arrows.
Li Ji's more than seventy cavalrymen were like a tiny drop of water dripping into the oil pan. They just caused a small bubble to pop in the oil pan and then disappeared.
