After leaving the forest, Xu Mu took a breath and looked around at the surrounding scenery. At this time, the Di army that was knocking at the pass was getting closer and closer.
The idea of fighting guerrillas is not realistic. These grassland aliens are best at fighting in roundabouts, running on horseback and shooting.
Only through surprise can there be a glimmer of hope.
In Hezhou City ahead, knocking off the gate is still in full swing.
…
A defender whose body was shot to death still maintained his posture of drawing his bow forcefully and stood at the top of the city for a long time.
"Throw the boiling water down!"
The peasants gritted their teeth against the horse arrows that filled the sky, and sent all the useful supplies for city defense to the top of the city.
Under the city wall, countless Di infantrymen let out pitiful screams and fell from the city ladder.
The defenders, who fought bloody battles, stabbed their halberds, overturned the city ladders one after another, and stabbed to death each of the Di people who wanted to climb first.
"Reserve battalion!" Lian Yong shouted anxiously and angrily as he saw more and more defenders dying.
The last reserve battalion quickly grabbed their halberds and ran towards the city.
The wounded soldiers who were helped down were all covered in blood, and the least injured ones also had two or three horse arrows hanging on their bodies.
Countless people in the distance were all weeping and silent.
"I'm going to join the army!" a bearded civilian man suddenly shouted.
As they saw, in order to defend Hezhou, these soldiers were almost exhausted, but no one retreated.
"I'm going too!"
"Let's go together!"
Half a month ago, they were just the most ordinary people, working hard for the livelihood of their family.
But when the country is in trouble and the world is in trouble, even the humblest men still have a warm heart.
There were at least thousands of civilians, roaring and picking up the halberds and bows of the wounded soldiers, and ran towards the city head regardless of life or death.
Lian Yong turned his head, his eyes trembling.
He remembered that that year, before he joined the army, he was like this. After hearing about many heroic generals, he became angry and joined the army.
"Our iron bones are the wall that resists the Di people!"
The whole city was filled with crying.
…
"Take the iron rope, connect the ten horses together, and hook each other into the armor of the horse's belly."
Xu Mu raised his head and gritted his teeth. The situation in Hezhou City in front of him was no longer optimistic. After all, the Di people were powerful and had sophisticated siege equipment. It looked like the whole of Hezhou could not stop them.
In this round, more than two thousand cavalrymen were just going to die.
"My dear boss, if I can't go back, tell my young master for me. He is like a good man at the border and has no shame on him."
Chang Wei said calmly.
Xu Mu felt a little astringent in his heart.
"Let's go!" Chang Wei turned around and pointed his spear at the mighty Beidi army formation ahead.
“Let’s go!!”
More than two thousand cavalrymen raised their iron spears.
"Kill one Digou and ten liang, and you will be the lord of a thousand liang! Pick up the gun and follow me to make a fortune!"
One rider, Jue Chen, and a group of more than two thousand horses rushed forward to kill them in an instant.
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. Previously, he actually had another grand plan, but it was a pity that time was too tight.
"The remaining ones will go with me to destroy Di Gou's baggage."
"Protect General Xu!"
More than two thousand iron cavalry opened the way, while the remaining light cavalry carried kerosene and fire-collapse rocks, waiting for the opportunity to move.
This is so difficult. Unfortunately, the army of the Di people in the grassland is too large.
…
"Then little boss." Tuoba Zhao sat on his horse and smiled with a sigh.
"Even if you have some skills, how can you stop it under such a general trend? The Beidi army of 300,000, coupled with the extremely sophisticated equipment, is enough to push the entire Central Plains flat."
"He can only fight to the death. There is a saying in the Central Plains... Killing one is enough, but killing two is profitable? Stupid man."
"No, that's not right, King Zuo Khan, the horses are clearing the way, and the little boss is burning the baggage!" A Beidi Duhou who was standing nearby suddenly turned pale.
Tuoba Zhao was startled, and then became furious, losing his calmness just now.
"Quickly, send the cavalry to intercept him! What was that good-for-nothing Zhao Qingyun doing just now!"
"Throw kerosene!"
Along the way, kerosene was thrown everywhere. At least three or four large baggage vehicles were suddenly caught in the fire and burned fiercely.
Horse arrows were flying all over the sky, and the corpses of Qingqi were spread all the way.
In front, there were also cavalrymen falling off their horses from time to time, using their last strength to help block the oncoming enemy troops.
"Throw the rope hook!"
Hundreds of rope hooks hooked a huge ladder truck during the attack. Hundreds of light cavalry pulled it together, dragging the entire ladder truck to the point of collapse.
"Quick, cut the rope!"
It was too late after all. The first ladder truck began to roll over unwillingly, and then fell down completely, kicking up dust all over the ground.
Because of this, hundreds of light cavalry slowed down, and dozens of them were immediately shot dead on the spot.
"Damn it! Only a few thousand people! Destroy my luggage!"
"Encirclement and Suppression——"
The voice of a prince who was leading an army suddenly stopped when he was furious. He discovered something terrible. The war horse under his crotch became inexplicably restless.
"What, what is this?"
Duhou turned his head and looked back hurriedly, and found that the 30,000 cavalrymen he had brought with him, as well as the horses, became restless, and there were even many who ran away in a panic.
You know, there are almost one person and one horse on the grassland, so there are very few problems. Only when they come to the camp, they are put into the manger to feed them.
"Run! Run!" Duhou was furious. He raised his head and looked at the young master. After burning a batch of baggage, he walked away again.
Turning his head again, he saw his own King Zuo Khan, and his face was swollen with anger.
…
Hezhou City at this time.
An old soldier with a broken arm was guarding the south city gate with his sword pressed. He heard the fighting at the north city gate, which was extremely brutal, but he still did not leave his post without authorization.
He was the only defender left at the south city gate. The others went to defend the city to their death.
Dragging his broken body, he moved hundreds of steps and walked up to the watchtower. After rubbing his eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then he started crying and laughing.
He saw a long black snake, winding quickly on the sand at the border.
The scout from the outpost galloped over, opened his mouth, and roared an exciting sentence.
"Thirty thousand black-armored troops from Yuzhou are entering the city to help!"
