Seeing Fuchardo leaving in despair, the Dasheng camp suddenly cheered.
Yang Xuan waved his hand to stop everyone and ordered everyone to evacuate quickly.
The 20,000-strong army set off immediately, and after walking less than a hundred miles, they encountered the enemy troops that had been preparing to intercept them.
Fortunately, they had already received the news and silently moved out of the way. They still frightened all the soldiers, and Durm was also frightened for a while.
If Yang Xuan hadn't used words to force Fuchar to have another contest and forcefully forced the Fucha troops to retreat, now they would have been attacked from both sides. Even if they fought desperately, they would have suffered heavy casualties.
As they traveled south, the sky gradually darkened, and Durm wanted to set up camp and rest, but was stopped by Yang Xuan.
"There is a temporary camp ahead, and there are people to support us. If we persist for a while, we will be able to rest when we get there."
Durm asked nonchalantly: "Didn't Fucardo already admit defeat? Don't be so nervous."
Yang Xuan said: "This man is a hero, he can do things that ordinary people can't do. Regardless of what he says, I can guarantee that he will not let us go, but he will not do it too blatantly.
.”
Durm wanted to refute, but when he thought about Yang Xuan's step-by-step approach and how accurate his calculations were every time, he no longer had any doubts and urged the troops to continue marching.
It wasn't until late at night that we arrived at the second temporary camp.
As before, a large pit has been dug here. After entering the camp, the soldiers who have been fighting for days can finally rest peacefully.
Nothing happened all night, and at dawn the next day, the army set off again.
Yang Xuan calculated the distance, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to meet Da Sheng's army coming to meet him tomorrow.
But an accident happened. An army of nearly ten thousand people appeared in their sights from the east.
Durm could tell at a glance that the other party was a cavalry unit directly under the Fucha Tribe. It was obvious that this was a team sent privately by Fuchardo without telling other tribes.
Using 10,000 cavalry to intercept an army of more than 20,000 people shows that the opponent is well prepared.
Elites are elites, let alone ambushes along the way. The strength of mounted archers is also quite strong. Although the range is not as good as the steel-arm crossbow, it can still shoot at close range despite casualties.
Everyone knows that people should be shot first before horses, so soon the soldiers fell off their horses, and the army's march suddenly slowed down.
At the same time, Durm also sent cavalry to meet the enemy, but the enemy turned around and ran away, not engaging them at all.
Durm's cavalry were in hot pursuit, and Yang Xuan didn't even have time to stop them. The cavalry troops rushed out, but the enemy troops ran back and shot arrows all the way. This skill alone was beyond the capabilities of ordinary cavalry.
It was extremely difficult to shoot an arrow while riding on horseback, and it was even more difficult to shoot an arrow from behind. Durm's cavalry were all light cavalry and could only rely on shields to resist. However, the opponent's shot was extremely accurate, and one after another someone was shot off the horse.
But relying on the large number of people, they still chased after him.
But just when they were about to catch up, the enemy cavalry suddenly moved to both sides, revealing a cavalry unit behind them - Tiefutu.
This iron pagoda had long been ready for attack, and when Durm's men discovered it, the other party had already launched a charge.
Facing the iron pagoda that resounded across the grassland, Durm's men immediately panicked and fled one after another.
But it was obviously too late, as the iron Buddha's impact directly drove the pursuing cavalry troops to pieces.
Although Yang Xuan destroyed two Tiefutu troops, he did so by relying on the terrain advantage of the pit. Now it was the first time he truly saw the power of Tiefutu.
It's like a bulldozer. Just push it flatly and it can knock the opponent away, including people and horses.
The appearance of the Iron Buddha immediately reversed the situation on the battlefield, and the cavalry who were originally chasing the opponent began to flee in all directions.
The same goes for Yang Xuan's men. Faced with such heavy armor, even the crossbow arrows fired by the steel-armed crossbows were still unable to cause damage to them.
Moreover, the opponent's horses are also covered with armor, so the trick of shooting the man first and the horse is useless.
Seeing the opponent's heavy cavalry rampaging across the battlefield, the only thing they could do was to run.
However, the enemy Tiefutu also quickly separated into formations. Each hundred horsemen formed a team and chased them everywhere. Among them, there were two small teams of hundreds of cavalry who rushed towards the place where Yang Xuan was.
It was obvious that they had received Fuchardo's instructions to kill Yang Xuan.
Despite the heavy equipment of Tiefutu, their horses are also carefully selected and of high quality. Coupled with their riding skills, they are still very flexible when running.
With the riding skills of Yang Xuan and his men, there is no way they can outrun each other.
Yang Xuan also calculated everything, but he didn't realize that Fuchardo even sent out the Iron Buddha.
He suddenly remembered that Lizhu once said that there were three thousand iron pagodas in the Fucha tribe. Two thousand of them were destroyed by himself, and there were still one thousand left. It seemed that the whole group was here.
Yang Xiao also knew that they couldn't escape with their riding skills, and those ordinary soldiers were no match for the Iron Buddha, so he immediately called out: "Yang Xuan, run quickly, brothers and sisters, follow me to protect Mr. Yang."
The ten guards around Yang Xuan, except for Lu Yue, are all Yang Xiao's brothers. Since their task is to protect Yang Xuan personally, they have never had the chance to take action, but now it is their turn.
Yang Xuan's direct guard, Baihu Tuhu, also came with his men and surrounded Yang Xuan in retreat.
Yang Xuan did not hesitate and followed Tu Hu to retreat quickly. He was a weak scholar and would only get in the way if he stayed. Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Facing the iron pagoda that rushed over, Yang Xiao took the lead, holding the end of the spear in his hand, and swung it like a dragon swinging its tail, and swept it on the horse's calf, breaking off the horse's leg in one fell swoop.
The horse neighed and fell to the ground, but immediately after, the enemy's mace smashed down on Yang Xiao's head.
Yang Xiao raised his gun and resisted the blow. The opponent's hands were numb from the shock. The next moment, he was knocked off his horse by Yang Xiao's shot.
However, the enemies were numerous after all, and several maces came at them. Yang Xiao simply stood up, stepped on the horse again, and jumped out of the enemy's attack range.
And the horse was directly smashed to the ground.
Although cavalry has an advantage over infantry, they only refer to ordinary people. For Yang Xiao, his ground skills are much better than his horse skills.
He lowered his body and swung his spear in a round motion. The legs of three horses were broken, and the cavalry on them fell off their horses on the spot.
The heavy cavalry was far inferior to the light cavalry in terms of flexibility. They couldn't dodge, so they bumped into each other one after another, and the formation was immediately disrupted.
However, the chaos returned and the Tiefutu behind them still contained their momentum. Although the advantage of the attack was gone, they still did not take these ten people seriously, leaving only fifty riders.
The other Tiefutu bypassed them and continued to chase Yang Xuan.
