Yang Xiao became anxious when he saw this situation. He wanted to turn around and rescue Yang Xuan, but he was entangled by the other party.
"Lu Yue, take your brothers and sisters to protect Yang Xuan. Leave this place to me."
As Yang Xiao spoke, he kept the spear in his hand and swept an iron pagoda so hard that it fell off his horse.
Lu Yue opened his mouth and was about to ask a question, but Yang Xiao and his fellow apprentices had already turned their heads towards Yang Xuan. Zhang Junbao also said, "Don't worry, my fellow apprentices can do it."
As Yang Xuan's personal bodyguards, their duty was to protect Yang Xuan's safety. What else could Lu Yue say? He had no choice but to grit his teeth, leave Yang Xiao alone to face the fifty-horse iron pagoda, and return to protect Yang Xuan.
Of course, Yang Xiao was not actually the only one, but the other ordinary soldiers really had no way of making a move when facing the Tiefu Tu.
However, Yang Xiao did not panic at all when facing dozens of iron pagodas riding on them. He looked like a swimming dragon and swept his spear close to the ground. Every iron pagoda that passed by him stumbled and fell off their horses.
Because the iron pagoda's armor is too heavy, it will be choked if dropped, and it will be very difficult to get up again.
So Yang Xiao was responsible for knocking the enemy off their horses in the front, and the pikemen at the back were responsible for cleaning up the fallen Iron Buddha.
These iron pagodas are like being placed in tin cans. If they fall on the ground, they cannot get up. The pikemen can slowly find the gaps in the armor, and then poke them with their spears, and that's it.
As for Tiefutu's attack, although it was powerful and heavy, Yang Xiao was not afraid of it due to his natural power. He could withstand one or two of them, and if there were more people, he could dodge them by using his body skills.
Later, I simply jumped on the horseback of the Iron Pagoda, threw the cavalry off, and rode in circles with the remaining Iron Pagoda.
Looking at Yang Xuan again, Tu Hu and a group of subordinates protected Yang Xuan and escaped. Tiefu Tu spotted him and chased him hard.
Lu Yue and others caught up and saw that the Iron Buddha Tu was carrying too much weight and had not yet picked up its speed after being blocked just now. So Lu Yue and others simply attacked from behind.
The one running at the front was Zhang Junbao. He slashed twice with a steel knife, but only made two marks. As soon as the iron pagoda turned its head, the mace hit it.
Zhang Junbao was not good at strength and did not dare to resist. He simply dodged and jumped onto Tiefutu's horse, and pierced the dagger in his hand through the gap in the armor.
Tiefutu stiffened and was thrown off the horse by Zhang Junbao.
Then Zhang Junbao jumped up from the horse again, jumped on the horse of another enemy, repeated the same trick, stabbed him to death and threw him off the horse.
The other guards followed suit. They didn't have heavy weapons in their hands, so they couldn't pose any threat to the iron can-like enemies. They could only assassinate them closely.
But the difference between them and Zhang Junbao is that after killing Tiefu Tu, they conveniently took away their mace, and then brandished it and charged into the enemy army.
Because they were advancing from the rear and using the mace to open the way, Tiefutu's formation was quickly disrupted. When the chaos spread to the front row of the team, Yang Xuan also promptly sent Tu Hu back to engage in the battle.
Looking at Yang Xiao, the situation has reversed. Instead of the Tiefu Tu besieging Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao is chasing the remaining dozen or so Tiefu Tu.
Yang Xuan quickly stopped Yang Xiao, and then joined Tu Hu and the others. Yang Xuan pointed at the enemies and ourselves scattered on the battlefield: "Now it's our turn to fight back."
Whether it is Yang Xiao, Lu Yue or the other ten guards, they are all highly skilled in martial arts. If the two armies rush to fight on the battlefield, they may not be of much use, but in this scattered melee situation, their martial arts can be put to use.
It's come in handy.
There were only a few people, more than a hundred people formed an attack formation, with Yang Xiao and others as the vanguard, and headed straight for the Tiefu Tu team.
Yang Xuan was protected in the middle of the team, and he kept giving orders according to the situation on the field, and everyone followed his words.
Yang Xuan's tactics adhere to the Sixteen-Character Strategy of guerrilla warfare, which is to dig out the enemy's retreat, run away after fighting, and never fight.
Although the enemy troops were elite and had Iron Buddha to help them, after they dispersed, the whole scene became chaotic.
Although Yang Xuan's side was slightly less effective in combat, it was better with more people. Although it was constantly being chased and beaten, it was not completely powerless to fight back. The most important thing was that it was intimidated by the strength of Iron Buddha.
And Yang Xuan led such a small team, infiltrating wherever there were many people, and fighting wherever there was fighting. When the enemy army began to become confused, Yang Xuan led them to run away again.
Durm saw the chaos in the place and took advantage of the situation to fight back with his troops.
This battle lasted from day to night, and they did not stop fighting until it was completely dark.
Yang Xuan and Durm did not dare to stop and continued to retreat southward in the dark.
After some statistics, they found that more than 3,000 people were killed and countless wounded in this battle. As for the enemy's casualties, they could not count them.
According to estimates, it should be almost the same. The Tiefu Tu was estimated to have lost at least half of it because Yang Xuan and the others specifically targeted it.
Ten thousand people can beat nearly 30,000 people, and they can draw a tie. No wonder the Fucha tribe dares to confront the Essien tribe. They are really powerful.
At dawn, they arrived at the next temporary position, which was also the last temporary position. Dong Yue was waiting here.
He got the news that 10,000 troops had been dispatched from the pass to meet them, and they were expected to arrive tomorrow. Coupled with the pits all over the ground, there was no need to worry about enemy attacks.
Yang Xuan ordered a rest and slept until dark. The Fucha Department must have returned in vain, as no one was seen all day long.
At dawn the next day, the whole army was full of energy and received Dasheng reinforcements. After some discussion, the two sides made the next arrangements.
Of course, this arrangement was basically Yang Xuan's idea.
First of all, Durm is a grassland tribe after all, and has an army of more than 10,000, so it is naturally inconvenient to enter the pass, so Yang Xuan suggested building a city on the spot.
This place is about two days' journey from Dasheng Pass and only seven or eight days' journey from Dumuji in the Fucha Division. It can be said that we can advance, attack, retreat or defend.
Secondly, this place is the same land that Yang Xuan made a bet with Fuchardo before.
The place for building the city is right by the Jina River, and it can even be garrisoned for a long time.
As for the garrison here, Dulm and Dong Yue are in charge.
Duermu is the main one and Dong Yue is the auxiliary.
If the Fucha tribe is annihilated in the future, this will be a new trading market, and it is located on the bank of the Jina River, a wealthy place.
Yang Xuan also left Chen Zhuo and his men to assist in the defense and build the earth city. Anyway, they had experience and were suitable for this job.
As for himself, he took his thousand escorts back to Dasheng and went to the Wutubao line to meet up with Chen Changqing.
After successive battles, Yang Xiao, a man with thousands of households, only had more than 600 men left.
During this month, within the territory of Dasheng, there were continuous battles on the front line of Wutoupu. The Fucha tribe and the Wala people, with a total strength of more than 200,000, launched repeated attacks on the front line of Wutoupu.
However, the total number of troops led by Chen Changqing was only 80,000, and they managed to hold off the enemy's attack without moving the battle line even half a step back.
Especially when the Fucha Ministry withdrew its troops, Chen Changqing obviously felt a lot more relaxed.
Due to the withdrawal of the Fucha tribe, the Oara people also stopped their activities and postponed their attack. After all, they had suffered heavy losses during this period.
The main cause of death and injury was the horse traps everywhere.
With the magical skill of trapping horses, Chen Changqing can play more games than Yang Xuanhua. The damage is not huge, but the beating is too uncomfortable.
I finally gathered up enough energy and wanted to punch out, but there was a hole under my feet, and I fell into a dog's excrement. You said it was uncomfortable or not.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Changqing disrupted the large-scale attacks of the Oara people many times.
So when Yang Xuan came to Chen Changqing's tent, he received a very warm reception.
