Yang Xuan looked at Tu Hu who had fallen into a coma, his face so gloomy that he almost shed tears.
Tu Hu's body was covered in blood, his arms and legs were covered with knife cuts, and even his armor was full of knife marks. One can imagine what a brutal battle this was.
"Carry him down and treat him carefully."
The people who escorted Tu Hu back to the camp were the guards under Lizhu. They cast a net five miles away from the camp. With their support, Tu Hu was able to return.
The entire army in the camp was on alert, just waiting for the enemy to appear.
Yang Xuan was very puzzled, where could there be so many cavalry in this place?
This thing is too strange.
Ganzhou City is only more than 500 miles away from Wutoubao. It is only a two-day journey, but it is intercepted every time. Yang Xuan does not believe that there is no evil behind it.
But now is not the time to think about this matter. The enemy is about to attack. There is no horse trap, and the temporary camp is not very strong. If it is really the Walas cavalry that comes, they may not be able to hold on for long.
The leader of the Livzon Guard is called Zaji. His opinion is to withdraw with Princess Livzon and Yang Xuan, while Yang Xuan's guard stays to break up the rear.
As soon as this opinion came out, Yang Xuan knew that this should be the safest response, but he was unwilling to give up the guard who had been following him for many days.
Especially when he saw Tu Hu risking his life and coming back to report the news, he felt that he could not let down these soldiers.
"I'll stay with the escort. Zaji, you and the princess will go around to the outside. As long as we can block a wave of attacks and as long as their speed slows down, you can attack from the rear. Under attack from both sides, you will be able to repel the enemy.
"
"What should Princess Lizhu do?"
"You can send a small number of people to take the princess to Ganzhou City."
Zaji frowned: "It's too risky."
"I have confidence."
"Okay, let's do it."
The two of them discussed it and turned around to take action, but saw Lizhu standing behind them: "Don't you want to ask my opinion?"
Yang Xuan grabbed Lizhu: "The other party is most likely coming for you. As long as you are safe, we are safe."
"No, leave this place to them, and you can retreat to Ganzhou City with me."
"Nonsense, I am their superior. If I leave, can they stay here with peace of mind?"
"Then let's run together." Lizhu's eyes were already red.
Yang Xuan touched her head: "Silly girl, they are infantry. How can two legs run faster than four legs?"
This slap on the head immediately defeated Lizhu's persistence.
But she still worried about Yang Xuan, and Yang Xuan winked at Zaji: "There is no time to waste, take the princess away quickly."
Zaji nodded, picked up Lizhu and turned around to leave, completely ignoring Lizhu's struggle.
Not long after Zaji left with three hundred cavalry guards, the roar of horse hooves was heard from the west.
Yang Xuan looked at Lu Yue, Zhang Junbao and other guards. They all showed firm expressions. Then Yang Xuan pulled out the black steel sword from his waist and pointed towards the sky.
"Everyone, the enemy has thousands of cavalry. We can't run away. We can only defend the camp and fight with our last breath."
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Crossbow ready."
"shoot!"
A wave of arrows was thrown into the sky, hitting the enemy troops from a distance.
The enemy cavalry was well prepared and charged forward with their shields raised, but they did not expect that the crossbow arrows were so sharp that the wooden shields were actually pierced.
But after all, there was a shield to resist, and except for a few unlucky ones who were shot in vital parts, everyone else was injured but survived.
The enemy troops continued to charge, and after withstanding three waves of arrows, they had already rushed to the front of the camp.
Yang Xuan raised his sword high again.
"Get on the rocket."
"shoot!"
Hundreds of rockets were fired, creating a spectacular scene in the sky, but this time, the arrows did not hit the enemy, but hit the horse at the gate of the camp.
The wooden horse had already been doused with kerosene, and when it hit the rocket, it immediately burned, forming a wall of fire.
The enemy army had to stop at that time and began to circle around.
They are not iron pagodas, nor are they prairie iron cavalry. They don't know the skills of throwing out hooks and pulling obstacles away.
However, they have long weapons, such as long hammers and axes, which can also destroy these obstacles.
However, this requires going around in a circle again and using the impact force to remove the obstacles.
This scene made Yang Xuan a little dumbfounded. Judging from the attire of the opponent, he should be a Wala man, but the riding skills of these Wala people seemed a bit poor.
But after thinking about it, Tiefutu is the elite among the elite after all, and it seems reasonable that other prairie cavalry cannot compare with them.
After going around in circles, these cavalrymen had already surrounded the entire hillside where the camp was located.
Perhaps because of this, Yang Xuan obviously found that the other party was a little slack.
After all, in their opinion, the people in the camp are already unable to fly.
What they had to do was to prevent the people in the camp from breaking out. After all, according to intelligence, there were still three hundred prairie cavalry in the camp.
Yang Xuan's camp was on a hillside, with a mountain peak on the north side and surrounded by the other three sides. Yang Xuan asked his soldiers to pile all flammable items on both sides, leaving only the main entrance road.
Soon, the enemy launched an attack. The burned obstacles were torn apart under the attack of sledgehammers, and a passage was quickly cleared.
"Crossbow team, ready!"
"shoot!"
"Second Crossbow Team, get ready!"
"shoot!"
The guards of less than a hundred people were divided into three rows by Yang Xuan, and according to the three-stage shooting tactic, they continued to shoot arrows forward.
Because the fire was still blazing on both sides of the camp, the enemy did not plan to attack from both sides. Anyway, with such a big fire, the people inside could not get out. There was only one road left, which just blocked the opponent inside.
Although Yang Xuan's men were small, the firing of crossbow arrows never stopped, and the crossbow arrows shot not people, but horses.
At first, the horses fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and the cavalry behind them were able to get around them. However, as they advanced, more and more horses fell to the ground, blocking more than half of the road.
Due to the congestion and the gradient, the cavalry's speed dropped again, almost completely losing the charging speed.
However, the enemy troops soon gave up their horses and began to approach the camp on foot.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, the opportunity had come.
"Send signal!"
Three loud arrows shot into the air.
Zaji, who had already circled far away, immediately gave an order, and his cavalry circled back in a very small arc while running, and then headed towards the camp.
Of course, Princess Lizhu was already escorted by fifty cavalry and headed towards Ganzhou City.
After the enemy is dismounted and protected by shields, the threat from crossbows is much smaller.
Seeing the pitifully few crossbowmen, the enemy gave the order to attack, and the enemy troops rushed towards the crossbowmen.
However, just when they were about to reach the front, ten men with long knives suddenly rushed out from behind the crossbowmen. With an unstoppable attitude, they rushed into the enemy formation in reverse direction.
