Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 113

[Chapter 113 Battle in the Wilderness]

“Beidi soldiers are coming, everyone hide in the underground passage.”

Tao’an village entrance.

When the villagers in charge of tracking saw the Beidi cavalry, they immediately went door to door to inform them.

When other villagers heard the news, they scattered and informed more people.

For this procedure, they are quite skilled.

Not only because they have been trained, but also because they have beaten the Beidi scouts who tried to rob the village twice.

In a short time, the villagers entered the village’s network of underground tunnels through the tunnels dug by their own homes.

Women, children, and the elderly are concentrated in the most spacious temporary residence in the underground passage.

Men over the age of fourteen all stared at the authentic observation port.

Not long after, they saw a group of Beidi cavalry entering the village.

“A total of eighty-six people.” A villager counted the number and came to tell the security chief.

“Hmph, there are only so few people, don’t be afraid, call me!” The chief security officer gave an order.

After saying yes, more than 300 township soldiers went to their combat positions.

“Why is there no one?”

Kutu looked puzzled by the well in the village.

“Impossible, someone ran over just now.” The guard general said.

While the two were talking, a guard soldier was thirsty, so he threw the bucket by the well down to fetch water.

While lifting water, he suddenly saw half of a person protruding from the well wall.

The man pointed at him with a crossbow in his hand.

“Whoosh!” Before he could react, an arrow was shot in his arm.

“There is someone, there is someone!” The guard soldier shouted.

Kutu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly looked down the well, but there was nothing.

But the soldier’s wounded arm was real.

“No, there are people in the village, search for me!” Kutu was furious.

Obtaining his order, the guard soldiers immediately went into scattered search.

Three Beidi soldiers broke into a courtyard.

One searched the firewood room, one searched the main hall, and one searched the wing rooms.

The Beidi soldiers who arrived at the firewood room looked around and went out when they saw nothing.

At this time, suddenly the thatch pile in the house “Zi La” thought for a while.

He turned his head and saw two villagers standing up from the haystack, one of them was stabbing him with an iron fork in his hand.

Right in the eye.

“Ah!” The Beidi soldier screamed, and then he felt a heavy object hit his head, and he passed out immediately.

The two villagers looked at each other, immediately lifted the pot on the stove, went down the passage under the pot, and put the pot back in place.

Two other Beidi soldiers came and saw their comrades lying in a pool of blood, but there was nothing in the woodshed.

The two suddenly felt a burst of fear in their hearts.

Meanwhile, Beidi soldiers elsewhere in the village are having a hard time.

When they opened the door, they were splashed with feces from the dung basin on the door.

Or he was hacked by a village soldier who came out from nowhere.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Beidi soldiers ran back in a panic as if they had seen a ghost.

Of the eighty-six people, only forty-two remained.

“My lord, hurry up, something is wrong here, we have suffered heavy casualties.” The guard general said, his calf was injured.

When he was passing a millstone, suddenly a spear protruded from the millstone and stabbed him.

When Kutu heard the words and saw the miserable conditions of the soldiers, his face turned pale.

“Kill!”

At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly sounded from everywhere in the village.

Hundreds of villagers rushed out from all over the place, more than a dozen were wearing armor, but most of them were carrying various weapons, including sticks and forks.

“Go!” Kutu was startled and got on his horse immediately.

Other guard soldiers also got on their horses one after another and fled to the outside of the village.

I’m afraid they can’t stop these hundreds of villagers.

“Who the hell is this King Yan?” As he got further away from the village, Kutu looked to the south, full of pain in his heart.

Although King Yan is his mortal enemy, he has to admire this King Yan’s ability.

The people of Yan County have completely become King Yan’s eyeliner and soldiers, and King Yan’s army has changed the fragility of the army, just like tigers and wolves.

The appearance of the people in the village made him seem to be caught in the vast ocean of the entire Yan County war, with no end in sight.

Looking up at the sky, Kutu sighed, he was afraid that it would be another mistake for Tam and Chale Halayan County.

…

“Tam.”

“Charha.”

In the north of Wu’an County, on the road leading to Qingfengkou, two cavalrymen met.

They are the armies led by Tam and Charha respectively.

“Is there any news about the king?” Tam asked anxiously.

After receiving the news of Yancheng’s defeat, he left behind the plundered supplies, killed all the slaves who were going to be sent to the grassland, and came lightly.

“No, the last news is in Wu’an County. If the king escaped from Yan County, he will definitely bring us a message. Now that you and I haven’t got it, then the king is probably still in Yan County, maybe in Wu’an County.” He said. Looking south.

Tam nodded, “You must not let the king fall into the hands of King Yan, it will be a disgrace to our Black Iron King Tent, let’s go to Wu’an County.”

Chaerha nodded and asked the soldiers to blow the horn. One person headed south first.

The Beidi cavalry moved again, and the horseshoes kicked up the dust on the ground.

Like a moving dust storm rushing towards Wu’an County.

…

Wu’an County.

Lu Chang stood on the city wall and looked out. Every time he came back from exploring the horse, he was very nervous.

“Have you found any trace of Kutu yet?” Lu Chang asked.

The scouting cavalry shook his head.

Lu Chang patted himself on the head. The news of Yancheng’s victory in the First World War had already spread here along with the cavalry from Yancheng.

This made the soldiers guarding Wu’an County both happy and jealous.

It is natural that His Royal Highness King Yan defeated the Beidi people.

What is jealous is that he did not personally participate in this battle.

But he got the exact news that Kutu led the remnant soldiers here.

This is tantamount to military merit delivered to his door, it would be a pity if he couldn’t get it.

It’s just that the cavalry moved too fast, they just caught up, and they ran away again.

But he believed that as long as the roundup continued, Kutu would definitely not be able to escape.

Although the horses run fast, they have poor stamina.

It is often necessary to rest for a period of time after running a certain distance, otherwise you will be exhausted.

Moreover, there is no natural grass in Yan County.

It was impossible for Kutu to take his luggage with him when he fled.

Before long, they will be exhausted.

Just as he was thinking, a soldier came from the direction of the north gate.

“My lord, it’s not good. There are a lot of cavalry coming from the north.”

Hearing this, Lu Chang immediately looked to the north of the city, and there were indeed many cavalry galloping over.

That is Beidi cavalry.

Moreover, there are so many cavalrymen, they must have come to rescue Kutu.

“Too bad, we can’t hold the intersection anymore.” Lu Chang was a little anxious. ‘

Off the road, armies can easily get lost.

Therefore, wars often follow the road.

Now that the Beidi army has arrived, a battalion of soldiers at the intersection can’t stop it at all.

However, these cavalry seemed to be passing by and had no intention of besieging Wu’an County.

After crossing the city, they divided into several cavalry and went along different roads.

After Lu Chang saw it, he was sure that they rescued Kutu.

“Leave 2,000 people in the city, and the rest will leave the city with me.” Lu Chang hesitated and made a decision.

Yanjun is the Yanjun of Yanjun people, how can he let Beidi come and leave whenever he wants.

What’s more, it proved that Kutu was still in Wu’an County, so he couldn’t be allowed to escape easily.

Previously, 4,000 people had guarded the road, chasing and suppressing Kutu.

Now there are still 4,000 people left in the city, except for more than 20 cavalry in charge of scouting, the others are all infantry.

Gathering the soldiers, he immediately led them out of the city and chased them in the direction of the Beidi cavalry.

He didn’t want to defeat these cavalry, even if he dragged them for a while.

As soon as the Wu’an County army left the city, they were immediately spotted by Beidi cavalry.

When Charha got the news, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He said to Tam: “These soldiers of the King of Yan are really arrogant. You lead your troops to continue to look for the king. I will kill them all.”

“Charha, the most important thing now is the king. Don’t be reckless. Your Majesty has been defeated in Yancheng, these soldiers of King Yan must have some skills.”

Charha ignored Tam’s persuasion, for him, these soldiers of King Yan who came out of the city were provoking him.

He must give these soldiers a little color quietly.

It only takes half an hour for him to defeat these soldiers.

Thinking of this, he ordered his subordinates to turn back.

Seeing that Charha was leaving, Tam shook his horsewhip angrily, and continued heading south.

Outside the city gate of Wu’an County.

As soon as the Beidi cavalry turned their heads, Lu Chang immediately ordered the soldiers to form a formation.

Two thousand soldiers immediately transformed into four square formations.

In each square formation, the outer spearmen fight the spearmen, and there are three layers in the front, middle and back.

Behind the spearmen came three rows of crossbowmen, who drew their arrows and aimed at the galloping cavalry.

The sword and shield hands are behind the crossbowmen. Once they touch the enemy, they will rush to the front to clean up the remnants of the enemy.

There are four such square formations, and the interval between each square formation is five or six meters.

Once the enemy is surrounded, they can attack the enemy in all four directions.

This phalanx was discussed by King Yan and General Chang after the pulley crossbow was equipped.

It is said that it is specially used to deal with cavalry in the wilderness.

“Swoosh…”

Charha’s cavalry rushed over, and arrows flew towards the soldiers of the palace.

The soldiers of the palace were as motionless as a mountain, and the arrows fell on their armor, making the sound of nails and clangs.

These soldiers are all wearing plate armor with tight protection.

“Swoosh…” After a round of bows and arrows, another round of bows and arrows followed, and the cavalry were getting closer and closer.

But the soldiers of the palace in the formation still did not shoot arrows.

They want to fight Beidi soldiers at a very close distance.

These can cause them the greatest casualties.

Charha commanded the battle from behind.

After two rounds of bows and arrows, the formation of King Yan’s soldiers was not chaotic at all, and there were no massive casualties of the soldiers he had foreseen.

He had a premonition of unease.

But at this time the cavalry had already rushed to the front of King Yan’s army.

Some soldiers even passed through the gaps in the formation and went around to the back.

“Fire the arrow!” At this moment, Lu Chang, who was in the center of the army formation, shouted loudly.

“Swish, swish…” There was a sound of piercing through the air.

A large number of crossbow arrows were shot from all sides of the phalanx, flying towards the approaching Beidi cavalry.

Some of these Beidi cavalry were only more than ten meters away from the army formation.

Before the huge power of the crossbow, the Beidi cavalry in front were directly pierced by the crossbow.

“Ah… hiss…” There was a scream of people and the tragic neighing of the horse at the same time.

Charha saw hundreds of cavalry descending from their horses.

Some cavalrymen were shot at their horses while galloping, and they fell to the ground with their horses.

Charha was furious.

The loss of cavalry nearly drove him out of his mind.

“Can my 4,000 cavalry not destroy your mere 2,000 people?” Chaerha was furious.

Turning his head to the general beside him, he said: “Blindfolded, knock the army out of the way for me.”

War horses are not creatures without fear. When they see sharp spears, war horses will not bump into them stupidly. The instinct of creatures It will force it to stop, or avoid it.

Therefore, sometimes in order to forcibly attack the army formation, Beidi people sometimes blindfolded the horses.

“Come on!” At his command.

Two platoons of five hundred cavalry galloped towards the formation.

In the center of the army formation, Lu Chang looked solemn when he saw this scene.

The Beidi cavalry formed a line in the wilderness.

These lines keep approaching.

In their eyes, Beidi cavalry became more and more clear.

Beidi war horses are generally six feet high, and the Beidi cavalry sitting on them are eight feet tall.

And a war horse weighs more than a thousand catties, and the cavalry is even heavier.

When such a weight hits, it can directly kill a soldier.

“Resist the spear!” Lu Chang roared, now only the spear can withstand the impact of the cavalry.

When his order came down, the spearman put his spear on the ground, the tip of the spear leaned towards the cavalry, and he stepped on the root of the spear with all his strength.

“Boom! Bark!”

At a distance of 100 meters, the Beidi cavalry suddenly accelerated, and the horse hit the spear like an afterimage.

The huge impact shattered the jaws of the soldiers of the palace.

The horses of the Beidi cavalry were instantly pierced by spears.

Some spearmen’s spears slipped due to the impact, and those who were hit by the horses fell backwards.

With the force of the impact, Beidi soldiers fell into the army formation.

Getting up from the ground, they picked up machetes and fought with the soldiers of the palace.

The crossbowman dropped his crossbow, drew his saber and joined the fight.

“Damn it, I’m not afraid of you in hand-to-hand combat.” Lu Chang raised his sword and charged at Beidi soldiers.

He is tall and full of plate armor, like a steel god of war.

The long sword swung down, and a Beidi soldier raised his sword to resist.

When a strong force came, his scimitar was knocked to the ground.

Before he had time to pick up the scimitar, he felt the world hang upside down.

The head has landed.

“Kill!”

More Beidi cavalry rushed over, and soldiers from both sides mingled together.

The collision between cavalry and infantry turned into close hand-to-hand combat.

In the distance, Cha Erha’s expression was relaxed at first, but then became ugly again.

Although the army formation of King Yan’s soldiers was in chaos due to the collision.

However, his soldiers did not take advantage of the hand-to-hand combat, but kept falling under the swords of King Yan’s soldiers.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered Tam’s words.

He is hesitating whether to continue to send soldiers to join the hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, I suddenly saw Tam who had gone away and turned back.

Tam came to his side with an anxious expression on his face, “Don’t worry about these King Yan soldiers, the imperial cavalry from Yan Pass has arrived.”
