In an unknown mountain col, there is an abandoned village. The strange thing is that there are several bonfires burning in the village.
Food was roasting next to the bonfire, and there were strong men gathered in a circle. They didn't say anything to each other, they just held the sword at their waist.
On the outside, there are horses tied up, munching on fodder at the moment.
Because of its desolation, the village was overgrown with weeds, and just cutting them would be enough for the horses to eat.
Relatively speaking, human food is harder to find, so these people try not to eat dry food, but obtain food through hunting and gathering.
The minions sat quietly while their bosses chatted away.
"Sure enough, it's better to go south, the temperature will be higher!"
"And I heard from the Huns that the Jin people have a vast land, and there are thousands of miles south from here!"
"In this way, it will be warmer in the south, and the crops will not be reduced, let alone freeze to death!"
"So, going south is the most correct way to solve our crisis!"
There are seven so-called bosses, and six of them surround one person. Obviously, the person in the middle is the real boss.
After listening to the analysis of his subordinates, this person slowly said: "Whether we are going east or south, the kings have not yet united the front, so we can only pass the information back and do some damage here!"
Someone said: "We should go south. To the east is all grassland, but it can't support seven or eight million of us!"
Then someone else retorted: "But if we don't go east to destroy the Huns, how can we go south with peace of mind?"
For a while, several leaders started talking nonsense again, which gave Iov who was leading the team a headache, so he simply walked aside.
Just now, they had already discussed the next action plan, and after everyone had finished their dinner, they would take action separately.
Now that we are approaching the forbidden area, Iov is extremely cautious and will not let his men stay together for a long time.
"Captain, you can eat!"
After hearing the reminder from their subordinates, the captains who were discussing stopped talking. They were sure that they could not convince each other.
Iof was the captain, so naturally someone gave him the food, and it was the chicken drumsticks with the most meat.
"Eat quickly and go on your way!"
But while they were eating, several Jinyi guards on the mountain quietly pulled out one of their hidden sentries.
From the beginning to the end, they were monitored by several Jinyi guards, and the sentinels released naturally knew their location.
After pulling out the sentry, the soldiers who arrived were not idle and had already set up defenses around the mountain col.
This is thanks to Iov, who asked his subordinates to lure away the zombies as much as possible, so that the Jin soldiers could safely deploy their defenses.
Because it is a mountain col, the focus is on guarding the entrance to ensure that no fish slips through the net.
"Who is outside..."
When Iov heard his men shouting, his eyes immediately glanced at the col, and he saw a figure under the dim light.
How could there be anyone at this time? So he instinctively thought that a zombie was coming, so he immediately ordered his men to be on guard.
However, what came outside were not zombies, but troops that had been lined up in order.
When Iov and others got on their horses and prepared to rush out directly, they saw the so-called real situation, which shocked him greatly.
Panic ensues. Zombies can collide with power, but how can they collide with a bright spear?
Not only Iov was panicked, but his soldiers were also panicked because the situation had changed so much.
However, it rained all night, and just as they reluctantly lined up, arrows were shot from the hillsides on both sides.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
They lined up and gathered together, so it was very convenient to shoot with arrows. In one salvo, more than twenty people were injured on the spot.
You must know that the total number of Iov's men is only more than 130 people.
At the beginning, more than 20 people were injured, which was already a very serious loss.
"Don't waste any time, rush out together!" Iov shouted.
He is also a decisive person. Although he cannot come up with strange plans on the spot, he also knows that he must take action.
Everyone was in a panic. At this moment, with his order, more than a hundred of his cavalry began to charge.
These people are all selected elites. Although they were a little panicked just now, the instincts cultivated by the war prevented their movements from deforming at all.
In just a few seconds, this army was on the move, and its speed was still increasing.
The distance between them and the Jin army's formation was not only reduced from the first 100 meters.
Eighty meters... sixty meters... thirty meters...
With a disparity in strength, it would be very foolish to attack the infantry formation head-on, but Iov had no other choice.
They were in a mountain col, and it was difficult for horses to walk in other directions. Forcibly passing through was tantamount to invalidating their martial arts skills.
At least if they rush out, they can still have a fight!
If you want to blame it, the place they chose is really not suitable for cavalry fighting.
Of course, although Iov and his party are at a disadvantage, they are still a cavalry and they still pose a certain threat when they charge.
Therefore, Zhang Jingxin did not dare to be careless at all. He did not expect to stop them all, at least he could not let too many people escape.
"Hold on, don't panic!" Zhang Jingxin shouted loudly.
The effects of daily training are evident. Although the soldiers are nervous, their movements are still uniform.
"Stop!"
"Prepare to thrust!" Zhang Jingxin then ordered.
The resisting horses I just wrote about are now at the front of the team. These things will withstand an attack.
Seeing the enemy troops approaching rapidly, the Jin soldiers in the front row clenched their weapons, their hands strong and powerful.
"prick……"
"kill!"
The soldiers all roared, and a fight ensued.
Under the light of the torch, people kept falling down, and screams continued.
Although some knights broke through the front row of Jin troops, they could not escape the second group of Jin troops.
Even if they escaped the second line of defense, there would still be Jin troops waiting behind them, but they were more focused on catching people alive.
There is no doubt that living people are more useful than dead people. If you can torture out useful information, you will make a lot of money.
As for the problem of language barrier, it can be solved later, and the court has already taken action.
The battle continued, and many people died, but Iov rushed out, but his entourage became fewer and fewer.
"He can't run away, hahaha..."
Behind Iov, there were two cavalrymen chasing him, one of them was the little flag of the Imperial Guard.
His eyes are very poisonous and he can easily tell that Iov is an extraordinary person, so he will chase him personally after he escapes.
As a third-level soldier, Xiaoqi's riding and shooting skills are very good. He can still draw an arrow with his bow while the horse is galloping.
With a "swish" sound, the surveillance hit Iov's shoulder. The impact directly caused him to lose his balance, and then he fell heavily to the ground.
Iov can take the position of captain and be entrusted with important tasks. This person is naturally capable and resilient.
After he landed, he had no intention of surrendering. Instead, he endured the severe pain and climbed up while taking out the saber from his waist.
Xiaoqi, the Jin Yiwei, approached on horseback. When he was three feet away from Iov, he reined in the reins and then jumped off the horse.
With a "crack" sound, he also drew out his saber, and then rushed towards Iov.
Immediately the two of them started fighting, and the two Jinyi guards who followed behind them were watching from a few feet away.
Although Iov could fight, he was injured by an arrow after all. After less than two minutes of fighting, he was kicked to the ground.
Then...he was captured alive!
Sheathing the knife, Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi said calmly: "Tie it up!"
Iov was quickly controlled, and then he was put directly on horseback like cargo and taken to the mountain col where he escaped.
Twenty minutes later, the battle in the col ended.
The Jin army suffered 37 casualties, annihilated 121 enemy troops, captured 13 people alive, and captured 128 horses.
