1349 Fight for your life
The Fenwu army chose to temporarily stay on the north side of Yedi to wait for reinforcements, and then the scouts searched the countryside and found a half-abandoned fort. The fort was built on the side of the hill, and there were also canals around it, which saved the danger of sleeping in the countryside and the hard work of rebuilding the camp.
In previous years, Ye Di was also a well-deserved core of the Qiang Kingdom, and there was no lack of relics of such old buildings between the land and the Xiang Kingdom, and a considerable part of them were not too seriously damaged, but in recent years, the Lord Shihu has paid more attention to the affairs of the north and the border fortress, so most of them have been abandoned, and they are often occupied by some rogues or bandits.
The fort that the Fenwu army had discovered belonged to this list, and when the scouts discovered this place, the inhabitants were naturally disturbed, and it was a group of four or five hundred people. As soon as he noticed that the Fenwu scouts were approaching, even if there were more than 100 strong forces coming out of the wall, each holding a staff and looking at it vigilantly.
The scouts of the Fenwu Army did not deliberately conceal their identities, and directly stated that they wanted to requisition this place. After a short period of confusion, two middle-aged people actually walked out, clasping their fists from afar, expressing their hope to meet the master of the king on this road.
Of course, even if they didn't have this request, Shen Yun would soon come here, these two middle-aged people should be the leaders of the people here, and when Shen Yun arrived, they would each show their backgrounds and express their willingness to help Wang Shi.
The people around Yedi are actually not very repulsive to Wang Shi, which naturally benefits from Xie Ai's operation in Fangtou for several years, although he has not completely occupied Yedi, but the business penetration in this realm is also very deep.
Shen Yun was not surprised by the attitude of these two leaders of the rogues, and sent troops into the house to investigate, the scale of the fort was not too large, it could accommodate more than 2,000 people, in addition to the strength of the hundreds of outcasts outside, there were also a similar number of people of old and young living inside.
There are many people in Hebei, and it is very simple to distinguish whether the people are bandits or ordinary refugees, you only need to look at the composition of the personnel, as long as most of them are strong gatherings, there is no doubt that most of them are bandits. Of course, this is not very accurate, many refugees are often part-time bandits, displaced, people are not able to make a living, in order to survive, how high can the moral standard be?
While waiting for most of the people to move here, Shen Yun chatted with the two leaders of the displaced people and asked what the current situation of Yedi was. The two leaders of the rogue were also quite cooperative, and they knew everything, but it was difficult for them to get into any secrets, but they knew that there were waves in the Yenan region again, and the Fangtou Wang Division was heavily armed.
The reason why they know about this is because before the tenth day, Ma Qiu, the general stationed in Yedi, sent troops to sweep the realm again and recruited people to strengthen the army, and they were in danger to escape. However, in recent times, Yebei has not seen too many horses.
For this, Shen Yun was not surprised. This time this war, at the beginning, it was on the side of the Qianguo, first the army of southern Hebei was assembled, and then Shi Xuan attacked Xuan. Ma Qiu, as the general of Yedi's town guard, although he did not go straight to southern Hebei to wait for the battle, he must also do a good job of flanking defense to prevent difficulties in Fang.
And long before Shen Mu returned to attack Fangtou, he sent a letter to Xie Ai to meet the master Yedi, and nearly a month had passed since the calculation of time, Shen Yun returned from a circle in Xiangguo, the heart of Fangtou, and it was impossible for Xie Ai in Fangtou not to move. So it's not surprising that there is a confrontation in Yedi right now.
As he spoke, the huge team on the back road also slowly came towards him. After seeing such a huge formation, the two leaders of the rogue were also quite dumbfounded for a while, and then looked at Shen Yun and the others vigilantly, carefully stared at the armed staff on their bodies, and said tremblingly: "You, are you the king of the south, or, or the reinforcements from the country?" ”
Hearing that the other party misunderstood himself and others as the men and horses of the Qiang Kingdom to reinforce Yedi, Shen Yun couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "We are undoubtedly the king of the south, but we have just captured the Xiangguo of the Qiang capital and returned to the division through this. ”
Although the two of them also understood that they were not worthy of being deceived by each other's lies, they still had an unbelievable look on their faces, which was too unbelievable.
Shen Yun no longer paid attention to them, and ordered people to send those goods and important captives into the fort, and these alone almost completely filled the small fort. After that, there was still a part of the cattle and horses, which were handed over to Liu Du and other Xiangguo villagers who followed all the way to lead the troops and take care of them by the dock wall, and the outer periphery was the thousands of people who followed.
Nearly 20,000 people directly stuffed the valley where the fort was located, which seemed very cramped. But the gathering of so many people can give each other a little comfort.
The Fenwu soldiers were not stationed here, they had to be ready to fight at any time, so they lived in the open air at the outermost part of the crowd, and only the captain Xu Wuxian was arranged by Shen Yun to lead hundreds of soldiers to guard those important prisoners and goods inside the fort.
They had not been stationed here for a long time, and soon there were traces of the enemy, in fact, as early as the previous march, the Fenwu army had killed a large number of scouts of the Qiang Kingdom. Between Yedi and Xiangguo, although the terrain is open and vast, the speed of such a large-scale troop operation is definitely not fast, and it is naturally difficult to hide the Maqiu of Yedi.
What's more, I'm afraid that at this time, those pursuers in Xiangguo have already made contact with Ma Qiu in Yedi, and tell them in detail, in order to kill them on the way.
This time, the enemy was no longer a scattered crowd of a few hundred people, but a thousand cavalry soldiers. They didn't need to investigate at all, and as soon as they appeared in the countryside, they followed the trajectory and slaughtered it.
"Kill the enemy."
Shen Yun didn't say much, picked up his sword and got on the horse, and then five hundred Fenwu soldiers followed, rushing straight to the opponent, so that the left and right flanks were also divided into more than 300 Fenwu soldiers, and the three roads were galloping side by side, wanting to confine the enemy army to the middle and one road.
In the cavalry vs. rushing kill, this kind of cooperation is actually not good, the cavalry itself is the clutch crowd, and the most important thing is to rely on the mechanical power to fight and kill, this kind of frontal charge is too stupid.
But tactics are on the one hand, and in fact they are on the other hand, and in the process of retreating all the way south, it can be said that they are entangled with the pursuing soldiers every day, and sometimes there are even more than ten battles every day. Although the size of the enemy is not large, the consumption of manpower and horsepower in such frequent battles is really amazing!
At first, Shen Yun also adopted the conventional combat method of rangers, but gradually found that in this way, even if people can still maintain it, the horsepower loss is too great. Although a horse camp in Xiangguo was captured before, there had to be enough horsepower to replace it, but along the way, the horses did not have enough food to feed, and they had to kill horses to satisfy hunger, and the loss was also very serious.
Therefore, after two days, Shen Yun no longer entangled with the enemy, and rushed straight to kill, directly killing the enemy to the cold! As a result, the casualties of the Fenwu soldiers also increased sharply, and in the past few days, more than 500 soldiers have permanently left their lives on the land of Hebei.
The casualties of more than 500 people were definitely a heartbreaking loss for the Fenwu Army, and it was not even inferior to the attrition of a fierce battle of equal strength. Previously, in Henan to face the same elite Longxiang army in the country, the Fenwu army did not have such a big loss, which can also be seen that the hard work along the way, the ants bite the elephant to death, this procedure all the way, is the place where the Fenwu soldiers really need to pay the price after returning from the Xiangguo.
The enemy soldiers were naturally unwilling to hedge head-on with the Fenwu army, so they ordered the soldiers to move diagonally for a while, and rushed straight to the left flank of the opponent, which started a little later, still intending to attack from the side.
But the Fenwu soldiers didn't give them such a chance, and they also adjusted quickly, but the gap between the two arrows directly collided together! And the soldiers who fought at the beginning of the battle couldn't even talk about any weapon fighting with the enemy, and after throwing their spears and throwing their hands into the air, they directly swung their swords and crashed into the enemy's formation. Under such a huge momentum, there is no need for other fighting skills, and the horses are directly broken necks.
And in such a violent impact, the knight was naturally not spared, rushing to the front of dozens of people, and the chance of surviving was very small. How many casualties can be inflicted on the enemy army by rushing to kill without fear of death, the most important thing is the kind of shock that it brings to people's hearts!
The enemy army appeared along the way, naturally the defenders of Yedi, they confronted the Fangtou Jin army all the year round, and naturally they were also the main elite of the country, and they also had the convenience of waiting for work, so at the beginning of the war, there was no lack of underestimation of the tired army of the Fenwu army who traveled far and wide.
But such a ranger hedge, as if a heavy hammer smashed directly on the head, and soon the army formation collapsed because of this, they were just as a forward test, and they were fighting at home, they really couldn't commit such a direct fight with their lives, so they naturally followed the instinct to temporarily retreat and avoid the edge a little.
The two armies are fighting, and when it comes to the strength of the troops, the Fenwu army will fall behind. But on the current battlefield, the three-way soldiers of the Fenwu Army pierced directly into the enemy's torso like three javelins, and blood splashed everywhere!
The rangers have their own clutch advantage, even if the army formation collapses for a while, for the experienced cavalry team, they can complete the gathering again in high-speed movement. But at this moment, the Fenwu soldiers did not give them a chance to assemble at all, and rushed straight to the front, with the tail behind, not seeking to live, but to kill the enemy!
This battle did not last long, not even a quarter of an hour, and the original fierce Yedi enemy army had disappeared.
In such a short period of battle, at least five or six hundred men and horses were thrown here, and although the casualties of the Fenwu soldiers were light, there were nearly two hundred casualties. Even the general Shen Yun was thrown out directly due to horsepower exhaustion in the subsequent pursuit, half-lying in the mound, his tibia was damaged, and he waited until the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield before being helped back on his horse.
"Put away the remains of those robes, they attacked the enemy country from afar, smashed the thieves' nest, and now they are fighting for their lives, which is a great hero. In the future, when you return to the Garden of Burial, you should enjoy a grand mourning! ”
Rao is ordinary in his eyes on life and death, but Shen Yun is still not lacking in sadness. But at the moment, he really didn't dare to pat his chest to ensure that all the soldiers were brought back to Fangtou intact. Cruising to survive, you will only die more.
