"Close the city gate, send a signal, and be on alert."
Seeing this scene, the hundreds of households in the Yulin Guard felt like the hairs all over their bodies were about to explode, and they gave the order decisively.
However, the cavalry outside did not make any move, and just watched quietly as the Yulin Guards closed the city gate.
Then a firework exploded in mid-air.
Yang Xuan, who came after hearing the news, climbed onto the city gate tower and began to shout: "Who among you dare to use troops and horses without permission in Dasheng territory?"
There was silence outside the castle. After a while, a horse slowly walked out and walked to the foot of the city wall.
The visitor did not light a torch, and even the firelight on the city wall could not illuminate the opponent's position. It could only be vaguely seen from the general outline that the opponent was wearing armor.
"We are all grassland people. We heard that Princess Lizhu was missing in Tumubao and came to search for her whereabouts."
The grassland people and thousands of cavalry surrounded the earthen fort. In the dark night, they could still maintain such a strict formation, and no one made any noise. They were clearly an elite cavalry.
However, they refused to say anything, and Yang Xuan had no choice. However, the other party made up an excuse, indicating that the other party had no plans to quarrel with him yet.
"This is the territory of Dasheng. People of foreign races are not allowed to gather and stay. Please retreat quickly, otherwise you will be severely punished."
"hehe."
The other party laughed contemptuously, and then said: "This is a trading market. We are all merchant coolies. We come here to find work. Why can't we gather and stay here?"
After saying that, the man didn't wait for Yang Xuan to speak, and directly waved his hand and ordered: "Dismount and set up camp."
As the voice of the messenger dispersed, only the sounds of rattling and rattling could be heard one after another in the darkness, it was obvious that a tent was being set up.
The man had a disdainful smile on his face, turned around, and was about to leave when he was stopped by Yang Xuan.
"I'll give you dozens of shouts. If you don't back away, you'll have to bear the consequences."
The man who had turned around turned back again and looked at Yang Xuan steadily without saying a word, but the provocation was already quite obvious.
"ten!"
Yang Xuan got angry and started counting directly.
The other party was indifferent.
"Nine!"
"eight!"
"..."
The other party was not only indifferent, but even assumed a very relaxed posture, looking at Yang Xuan leisurely.
"two!"
"one!"
When Yang Xuan finished counting to ten, the other party said: "Sir, please finish counting. I will go back to sleep after counting."
Yang Xuan turned his head slightly, glanced behind him, and saw Zhang Junbao running towards him.
Zhang Junbao was also holding a box in his hand. Although his feet were running fast, the box in his hand was very stable and did not shake at all.
"Trebuchet ready."
Yang Xuan gave an order, and the trebuchet on the wall began to creak as the sergeants of the Yulin Guards pulled it.
When the other party heard Yang Xuan's words, he couldn't help laughing.
Because the opponent's cavalry is outside the range of the trebuchet.
"I heard that Mr. Yang is good at doing business, and I admire him very much. But when it comes to the military, there is no need to be embarrassed."
"Don't run away if you have the guts."
The other party was still laughing wildly. He was in a position that a trebuchet could not reach.
"Zhang Junbao, light the fire."
Zhang Junbao nodded and lit the fuse of Thor's hammer with the torch in his hand.
As a clicking sound was heard, the Habayashi guard on the side smashed open the hook of the trebuchet with a sledgehammer.
With a whoosh, Thor's hammer on the trebuchet was instantly thrown out.
When the other party saw that posture, his whole body tensed up.
When Mjolnir's hammer rose to its highest point and then fell down, the opponent's expression finally changed, because he had already concluded that the projected object could really hit him where he was.
When did the trebuchets of the Great Sheng Dynasty be able to hit such a distance?
Although he was surprised, he just pinched the horse's belly and controlled the horse to jump to the side.
In this way, unless the thing can turn in mid-air, it will never hit you.
But just when he was looking proud, the object thrown by the trebuchet suddenly exploded in mid-air before it hit the ground.
Although the man didn't know what it was, but with the light of the fire, a huge force came, knocking him and the horse to the ground.
This was the largest Thor's hammer. The flames of the explosion illuminated half of the sky. Although the man was four or five meters away from the center of the explosion, he was still knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion.
This man was wearing three layers of heavy armor, and most of the shrapnel was blocked by the armor. However, he was still in a miserable state. When he struggled to crawl out from under the horse's corpse, he was covered in blood.
Just as he was about to speak, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth. In shock, he also found a sharp pain in his calf.
At this time, more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed over, dragged him onto the horseback, and ran directly back to the main formation.
Accompanying their helter-skelter flight was the mocking laughter coming from the top of the city.
Yang Xuan then signaled to the Yulin Guards to shout loudly.
"If you don't leave, the next thunder will blow up your camp."
Yang Xuan also ordered: "Lengthen the lead by three more points and prepare the trebuchet."
After a while, the second Thor's hammer flew into the air. This time, the thunder flew further and was about to fly towards their position.
Those elite prairie warriors could no longer calm down and panicked for a while.
Unfortunately, the mine exploded while it was high in the sky, and the fire flashed away, but did not harm the prairie cavalry below.
But even so, the expressions of the cavalry below had changed, and the horses under them were even more uncontrollable. In panic, they scattered and fled.
The cavalry unit, which was originally in neat and tidy condition, instantly turned into a mess.
At this time, on the top of the city, Yang Xuan was glaring at Zhang Junbao: "Didn't I tell you to lengthen the three-point lead? Why did it explode in advance?"
Zhang Junbao showed an embarrassed face: "Sir, that is already our longest lead."
"Are you still talking back? There will be no breakfast tomorrow."
"Don't, sir." Zhang Junbao said with a sad face: "The shot before was quite accurate."
Yang Xuan nodded when he heard this: "Then the merits and demerits will be equal."
Zhang Junbao pouted, but did not dare to refute.
Yang Xuan continued to order: "Send someone to report to Youzhou Mansion and ask Prince Yan to send reinforcements. Also contact our people on the grassland and tell them that I am very angry. Such a large force has come to Tumubao. They
No news has been sent to me at all, so I asked them to find out who these people are."
Hundreds of households in the Yulin Guard accepted the order: "Yes."
Although Yang Xuan was very dissatisfied with the spies on the grassland, he also knew that after all, the time to break into the grassland was still short, and the other party was an elite, so it was normal that he could not find out any information.
Back at the Commerce Department Yamen, Lizhu hurriedly greeted her. At this time, her eyes were red and she bit her lower lip: "How's it going?"
Yang Xuan sighed: "We are surrounded."
Based on his description, Lizhu said: "This seems to be Fuchardo's heavily armored elite cavalry, the Iron Buddha."
Yang Xuan just took a sip of tea and immediately spurted it out.
Isn’t Tiefu Tu the heavy armored cavalry unit of the Jin soldiers during the Song Dynasty?
There is one here too?
If the opponent really had a heavily armored cavalry unit, the walls of this earthen fort alone would not be able to stop the opponent's attack.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.
