In Yang Xuan's opinion, this battle was very confusing.
First of all, the intensity of the opponent's cavalry attack is not very strong.
Secondly, the opponent never fired an arrow from beginning to end.
You must know that the prairie cavalry is unique in the world with its riding and shooting skills.
You're not good at riding, and you don't know how to shoot a bow and arrow. Isn't that a bit too disrespectful?
Then Yang Xuan quickly thought of the key point. It was estimated that the other party wanted to arrest him alive. As for who he wanted to arrest, there was no doubt that it was Princess Lizhu.
Although Lu Yue and other guards fought desperately, and the crossbowmen kept firing, the opponent's number was too large, and Yang Xuan and others were soon forced to retreat, almost to the foot of the mountain.
Only then did the enemy realize that there seemed to be no one else in the entire camp except these crossbow archers.
Only then did I realize that the prairie cavalry and Princess Lizhu had probably run away.
According to the instructions they received, the first was to kill Yang Xuan, and the second was to kidnap Princess Lizhu. Since the princess had escaped, Yang Xuan must not be let go.
As a result, the offensive instantly became intense.
Lu Yue and other guards had stopped attacking for a long time. They just stood by the crossbow archers in the front row and killed approaching enemy troops for them.
All the way back, there were corpses all the way. The three-stage shooting had been reduced to two stages due to attrition. Even the guards such as Lu Yue were exhausted.
Just when they were about to despair, a burst of fighting came from behind the enemy, and the enemy troops charging ahead began to become confused.
"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, cheer up and kill them."
This sentence was like a cardiotonic, which instantly boosted the fighting spirit of all the soldiers, and the speed of shooting crossbows accelerated a lot.
On the contrary, Lu Yue and others simply retreated to Yang Xuan's side.
It's not that they don't want to kill the enemy, it's just that they are too tired after repeated fierce battles.
Actually speaking, it was less than half an hour from the time the enemy troops appeared and started attacking, but this half hour made them feel like they had spent a long, long time.
On the other side, Lizhu was protected by the guards and galloped towards Ganzhou City. What she was thinking about at this time was to go to Ganzhou City for help. In her opinion, with Zaji's cavalry here, they should be able to carry it.
a while.
However, they had not run far when they saw a large army coming towards them from a distance.
The guard quickly took Lizhu and hid in the woods on the roadside.
In the woods, Lizhu saw the troops arriving, all of them were Dasheng soldiers, and the leader was none other than Zhao Ming.
Lizhu didn't know for a while why Zhao Ming was marching in the middle of the night, and the direction was towards Yang Xuan's camp.
It's probably reinforcements.
Although she thought so in her heart, Lizhu still kept a cautious eye. After all, in this war-torn place, she could not trust anyone except Yang Xuan.
Zhao Ming marched in the middle of the night. There were only two possibilities, one was to support Yang Xuan, and the other was to kill Yang Xuan.
If it was for support, there would be no danger for Lizhu to follow. But if she wanted to harm Yang Xuan, Lizhu felt that her identity could still help Yang Xuan block it. She didn't believe that Zhao Ming dared to do anything to her.
He, a member of the Zhao family, could not withstand the anger of the Essin tribe on the grassland.
So she fooled the guard and said, "Look, look, it's reinforcements, reinforcements from Dasheng. We don't need to go to Ganzhou City."
Although the guard was confused, he was so coaxed and frightened by Lizhu that he had to turn his horse around and return with Lizhu.
When the night had just darkened, Zhao Ming had already set off with a thousand cavalry. The cavalry commander was a Qianhu loyal to the Zhao family. Halfway through, he learned that the attack had begun, but he was not in a hurry.
After all, if you go too early, it would be bad if Yang Xuan is not dead yet, and the mission of the dead warrior commander is to capture the princess alive, so let the princess be more frightened in the hands of the dead warrior commander. When he appears,
Only then can you appear more important.
Seeing how slow Zhao Ming was, Lizhu became more and more anxious, so she simply chose a detour and passed Zhao Ming's troops.
When Lizhu and the others arrived at the camp, the enemy troops had been defeated and were fleeing.
Lizhu and the others happened to encounter a large group of fleeing enemy troops and thought they were intercepting them. The two armies suddenly met and it was no longer possible to hide. The guards gritted their teeth and rushed forward to fight. They also told the princess to run away.
.
However, the enemy army was already in retreat. They thought that Lizhu and the others were ambushing here. They dared not engage in battle. After being beheaded several people, they fled in all directions.
Both Lizhu and the guards were a little dumbfounded. Is the enemy so invincible?
This doesn’t look like a Wala people, does it?
"Let's go to the camp first." Lizhu didn't have time to think so much and rushed towards the camp.
When they arrived at the camp, they discovered that Yang Xuan and the others were already cleaning the battlefield.
Lizhu was a little confused. What was the situation? In such a short time, the enemy was repelled?
In fact, it's not that Yang Xuan is too strong, but that the enemy army is too weak.
Although these enemies were private soldiers raised by the Zhao family, they were not good at fighting on horseback. Secondly, they were not allowed to fire arrows. Therefore, they were unable to suppress Yang Xuan in the first place and were held back by Yang Xuan.
Then when the prairie cavalry entered the field, it turned into a crushing one. After being killed, the leader died in battle, and the rest simply ran away.
The entire battle lasted less than half an hour, and more than a hundred enemy troops were killed, but unfortunately not a single person was left alive.
As for Yang Xuan's guards, thirty-three people were killed in the battle, and almost all the others were injured, which was considered quite tragic.
When handling the enemy's corpses, Yang Xuan found that these people were obviously Dasheng people, and he couldn't help but frowned.
Zhang Junbao lifted the hat off a corpse and asked, "Are they pretending to be Oara people?"
Lu Yue on the side said: "It seems that someone wants to harm Mr. Yang."
Yang Xuan snorted: "Who else can organize so many troops and know my marching route accurately, besides the Zhao family."
At this moment, Lizhu arrived. When she saw the corpses everywhere, she suddenly panicked. Fortunately, she saw Yang Xuan the next moment and ran over immediately. If there weren't too many people around, Lizhu would have thrown herself into Yang Xuan's arms.
.
But even so, her eyes were still red.
"Why are you back again?"
Lizhu's eyes were filled with tears, but she said stubbornly: "Come back and see if you are dead."
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes: "Come as soon as you come, we will continue setting off at dawn."
Lizhu nodded and suddenly thought of Zhao Ming whom she met halfway: "By the way, I saw Zhao Ming on the road, coming with a large team of people."
Yang Xuan was startled and frowned: "Is it possible that he still dares to do it blatantly?"
But then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a snort: "I guess he came to end it. The supervisor was intercepted and killed by the Wala people on the way. Princess Lizhu fell into the hands of the enemy. Zhao Ming arrived in time and rescued him from the Wala people.
Princess, what a good plan."
"Everyone, be alert!"
Although they had just experienced a big battle, their morale was high because of the victory. The soldiers quickly formed an array and collected some wooden piles that had not been completely burned as obstacles to block the front of the camp.
Not long after, Zhao Ming appeared in front of the camp. When he saw the dead bodies on the ground and the mess, he felt shocked and suspicious.
Where are people?
What about those private soldiers who died?
Is Yang Xuan dead or not?
Where has the princess gone?
However, the next moment, he saw the soldiers lined up neatly behind the obstacle, and the crossbows were already strung up and pointed at him.
Is it possible that those private soldiers lost the battle?
Just when he was doubtful, Yang Xuan walked to the front of the formation: "Master Zhao came at the right time."
