The 1033rd hapless Chihu Ranger who was hunted
Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Three
Hundreds of Qihu cavalry were riding their horses and whips, quickly approaching the northern end of the Yunshui River Valley, and their movements, as early as thirty miles away from the entrance to the northern end of the Yunshui River Valley, had been detected by those Tang army secret sentinels, borrowing the means of pouring down trees to transmit information, it only took less than Zhu Xiang's effort, and Ding Li, the captain guarding the entrance to the north end of the Yunshui River Valley, received the news of an enemy attack.
I have been guarding here for several days, but I am so idle, except for squatting to a group of wild deer that I brought here, and let the battalion of Datang Iron Cavalry under my command fight the tooth sacrifice, I have never encountered anything beautiful again.
And now, there are actually Qihu cavalry rushing over here, which naturally makes Ding Li, who hopes to be able to make meritorious contributions, overjoyed, and after confirming the news, Ding Li slapped his thigh and said with joy on his face. "Grandma's, hundreds of people dare to drill on our side, and it's really a credit to come."
"Who, hurry up and send a message back, tell the scouts over there, and see if there are any soldiers and horses following the other party's back road. Also, the brothers are all fucking cheering me up, Mu Laoqi, hurry up and inform your eldest brother and Wen Baichang, so that as soon as they see the signal, they will hurry to the northeast to include, and be sure not to let anyone go......"
"Okay general, don't worry, the little one will go and inform my eldest brother." Mu Laoqi, who was serving as a personal soldier by Ding Li's side, jumped up smartly, jumped on his war horse, and galloped towards the north after beating the horse.
His eldest brother Mu Tian Baichang and another Bai Chang were stationed in a small depression in the east and north of the Yunshui River Valley, so that when a small group of enemies came to the Yunshui River Valley, they could encircle and annihilate the enemy as much as possible, so as not to let the enemy escape and increase the possibility that Hassan's army had been defeated.
The leader of this elite ranger force is a Golden Horde Guard centurion Hezhe, and each of the hundred Qihu rangers behind him is the elite of the Qihu warriors, then again, the distance between Prince Hassan and the main force is no more than two days, but now it has been four or five days, but no men have been sent to contact the Chinese army.
He Zhe did not think that those Han Chinese would be able to wipe out the army of His Highness Hassan, but they were the same as the vast majority of the Qihu barbarians. Presumably, His Royal Highness the eldest prince is either busy fighting with the Tang army at this moment, or he has already gone south to the Tang realm and is busy burning, killing and looting, so he forgot about reporting to the Chinese army.
And this time, Hezhe naturally rushed over on the order of Mo Li Keju, and went south along the previously determined marching route to see if he could meet the team of His Royal Highness the eldest prince Hassan. It had taken nearly two days for the Chinese army to rush to the entrance of the northern end of the Yunshui River Valley, but at this time, in front of a small stream that was still more than ten miles away from the Yunshui River Valley, He Zhe and his party, who had been up early for nearly two and a half hours, finally tightened the reins.
"All right, brethren, dismount, rest well, and roast the two deer we have just hunted on the road. Eat and drink enough, let's hit the road again. Hezhe was the first to turn over and jump off his horse, and lifted off the wild deer tied to the horse's back, which was the prey he encountered on the road, and with his excellent archery skills, it was only a matter of a hundred or so people hunting two wild deer.
For them, the Chihu people, hunting and barbecuing game were absolutely commonplace, and it took a lot of effort to gather enough dead wood and other materials to make a fire from all around, and two fires were blazing, and the two deer that had been dealt with were also dismembered, inserted into straight branches, and carefully roasted on the fire.
While roasting the prey, while drinking the light and slightly sour skin around him, there is a little milky mare's milk wine, and some people even hum the desolate tune of the grassland. Or because it was determined that there would be no Tang army in this area, so, as yesterday, no rangers were sent to the vicinity to post sentry.
What they didn't expect was that just as they stopped to prepare lunch, three hundred elite Tang Iron Horsemen galloped out from the entrance of the Yunshui River Valley, and they were rushing in this direction, and in the north of their west, there were about two hundred Great Tang Iron Horsemen, who were rapidly advancing towards the east, intending to cooperate with the three hundred horsemen to trap them.
It's a pity that these two elite horsemen are still too far away from them, so these Chehu cavalrymen have no idea that they have stayed in a circle that is gradually closing, still laughing and enjoying the fragrant game and food.
And when some of them noticed that something was wrong and stood up and looked around blankly, they found that the Tang army was already only a few miles away from here, forming a sharp assault formation, and attacking and killing here.
He Zhe was the first person to notice that something was wrong, when he jumped on the horse's back and saw clearly the formation of those Tang elite cavalry soldiers, who were rushing towards this side, He Zhe didn't even have the intention of beckoning these brothers to rise up and fight back, but immediately roared and pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and slapped the horse's buttocks with the back of the knife, while shouting orders to let the brothers scatter and flee.
Because the distance is too close, even if the all-production cavalry jumps on horseback now, I am afraid that the formation has not been organized, those Tang troops can kill them, instead of lining up to die, it is better to disperse the troops in the fastest time, so that those Tang troops can also disperse, and then the Qihu warriors can rely on their excellent archery and riding skills to try to get rid of those damn Tang cavalry.
As long as he can escape, he will quickly flee back to the city of Yunzhou, and go to Mo Like to report the news that a large number of Tang troops have appeared at the entrance of the Yunshui River Valley.
"The Wu people are in a team, they are annihilated separately, and no one must be let go!" Seeing those Qihu rangers after experiencing the initial panic, they directly beat their horses and fled in all directions, which made Ding Li so angry that his eyes were full of fire, mud horses, treacherous and slippery Qihu people, actually treated their assaults in this way.
Soon, with little effort, the three hundred Tang Army cavalry, under the sharp command of Captain Ding Li, quickly began to split, forming sixty small teams, identifying their respective goals and continuing to gallop away.
Hezhe, who was the first to react, had already ridden his horse and fled from the land of Jinli Xu at this moment, and beside him, there were several familiar Qihu warriors closely following him, looking back, those Tang army iron cavalry had already stepped into the temporary camp, and many of the Qihu warriors who had not had time to leave did not even have a chance to counterattack, and the scimitar in his hand was raised, and it was split by the cold light of the knife.
The screams and wails of dying were on the verge of death at this moment, and one last glance at the camp that had been scattered, as well as those companions who had fled in all directions, Hezhe took a deep breath, turned his head, and continued to gallop towards the front, as long as he rode his horse for about ten miles, there was a field overgrown with shrubs, and when they got there, they could completely rely on their much superior riding skills to ask those damned Tang army soldiers.
The ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, just after Hezhe led seven or eight of his subordinates who gathered over, and galloped wildly for about three or four miles, he couldn't help but tighten his horses, and looked at the figure slowly emerging from the top of the gentle slope in front of him with a look of disbelief.
A famous Tang army cavalry appeared one after another on the slow hill, completely blocking the return of He Zhe and others.
Finished...... He Zhe turned his head and glanced at the about fifty or so Tang cavalry that were still stubbornly coming after Li Xu, and in front of him, there were at least two hundred or so Tang cavalry blocking in front of him.
Under such circumstances, He Zhe knew very well that even if he gave himself and his companions a good horse from Dawan now, and equipped everyone with Mingguang heavy armor from Datang, it would be impossible for him to break through unscathed.
Hezhe turned his head and glanced at the compatriots around him whose faces had become extremely pale, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, took a deep breath, and straightened the leather helmet on his head. "Brothers, even in the face of the wild wolves on the grassland, we have never been afraid, let alone those cowardly Tang soldiers...... For the sake of our great Mo Like Juic, for the sake of our Sirius God of Qihu! ”
With that roar, the Qihu barbarians, who had gradually regained their courage, finally had the strength to raise their weapons and heroically launched a counter-charge towards the iron cavalry of the Tang Army.
