The tribes on the prairie have all heard about how ferocious Jiannu was.

The grassland tribes are all unruly and rebellious. At this time, the reason why some Mongolians obediently surrendered to the Jurchens was because they were frightened by being killed.

Hedanbaat'er's tribe was not just heard about, but was actually massacred by the slaves once.

After the old men in the department learned that the enemy was a slave, they voluntarily picked up their bows and arrows and prepared to resist.

Because they knew that the result of not resisting would be to be slaughtered, it was impossible for the slaves to let them live and spoil the food.

Young and middle-aged people can shoot ten heavy arrows in a row, and old people and teenagers are good if they can shoot three or four in a row.

Fortunately, most of the enemies went after Hedanbaatar, and there were not many men left.

Huang Yi's side has a huge numerical advantage, and it is worth looking forward to getting an advantage when the opponent underestimates the enemy.

Hedanbaat'er, who had the upper hand at the beginning, was attacked by a force of seventeen cavalry led by Ya Bahai. He suffered heavy losses and could not hold on and fled.

Huang Yi didn't think anything was wrong, because the situation was stronger than the people. The dozen enemy cavalry were not only well-equipped, but also had enough strength.

Hedanbaat'er had no tactics and just relied on his own bravery to take the lead.

This style of play can only be done in one go, and it will be troublesome if the momentum is curbed. If the decline shows, you can't fight.

Choosing to persevere will only lead to death.

But Hedanbaatar made a mistake. He should have fled to the big car formation, or even if it was not possible, he should have chosen to circle around the big car formation.

If he does this, Huang Yi can organize men to shoot the pursuers, and the chance of turning defeat into victory is very high.

well! The main problem is language. There is little communication, no tacit understanding, and it is impossible to cooperate in operations.

No way! Next it should be time for me to take the stage!

Somehow, Huang Yi didn't feel nervous.

Perhaps it was because most of the opponent's knights went after Hedan Battle, and the twenty or so people left behind seemed to be somewhat injured.

The enemy has no cannons, and we have at least 70 people who can shoot arrows to defend the enemy. It seems that it is not difficult to hold on to the position!

In order not to expose his strength, Huang Han emphasized again and ordered everyone to take cover and wait until the enemy came within twenty steps before firing arrows together.

Crow Bahai never expected that the young and middle-aged men of Hedanbaat'er's tribe had escaped, while the old and weak were still willing to fight to the death. This completely subverted his cognition.

It is common to see the leader and the warriors of the clan being defeated, and the women, the old and the weak kneeling down and crying and begging for their lives.

Therefore, Crow Bahai must pay the price for underestimating the enemy.

When he approached the large car formation with more than 20 riders, suddenly a burst of sound broke through the air, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Dozens of feather arrows, a fine iron crossbow arrow, and seven or eight throwing spears suddenly flew out from behind those carts.

No one is willing to throw the limited number of throwing axes, they are reserved for chopping in close combat.

Then the second round started, and then there were the third and fourth rounds...

"There's an ambush, retreat, retreat quickly!" Crow Bahai shouted.

It was too late, and seven knights could not retreat and fell in front of the cart formation.

At least three of the knights who retreated were seriously injured and lost their fighting ability.

Huang Yi's side also suffered a counterattack. Two old men and three Mongolian teenagers were injured. An old man with an arrow in the head was seriously injured and might not survive.

The distance of twenty steps is about less than thirty meters. Basically, no one who shoots a horseman from such a distance will miss the target.

Huang Yi originally targeted Ya Bahai.

Because he seemed to be the leader, but unfortunately Crow Bahai was cunning and there was always a knight standing in front of him, so Huang Yi had no choice but to shoot a man wearing iron armor.

The Amuguleng brothers were very good at shooting. They shot twenty arrows, almost none of which missed.

The crossbow was limited by its speed. Even if Huang Yi practiced reloading frequently, he could only fire three times.

However, the power of crossbow arrows is not the same as that of bows and arrows. It will definitely kill people time and time again. The enemy who was shot in three vital points fell to his death.

The enemy retreated, probably within a stone's throw.

This distance is not a problem for Huang Yi, and he can also snipe the enemy with a crossbow.

It's just that Huang Yi can't always aim at the leader. In order not to expose the range, he chooses to be patient.

Bashku Yabahai is not a fool, he knows how to weigh things.

He can judge the opponent's combat effectiveness from the lethality of arrows and spears fired from the cart array.

Therefore, he did not command the remaining dozen men to engage the enemy on foot. He was waiting for Butoha to return with his troops.

The pursuit cannot be endless. Basically, it will stop when the sun sets. It is already afternoon, and Yabahai believes that he will be able to see Butoha within two hours.

Crow Bahai was furious, why did he turn a battle that was so easy to win into such a mess?

He was not sorry for the heavy casualties. In the eyes of Jiannu, the Mongols were no more than human beings. The more they died, the better.

But seeing property, women, and livestock within easy reach but unable to do so.

He secretly swore that when his subordinates returned, they would immediately set up fire and fight at night, and he would definitely kill everyone there.

The enemy retreated and left behind seven corpses. Everyone in the ambush cheered, and the morale in the large car formation was high for a while.

Many men and women hiding under the car crawled out and looked for weapons. If they couldn't find a stick, they picked up a stone, which was better than nothing.

Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong, and Huang Dapeng, relying on their cotton armor and equipment, actually held up leather shields and under the cover of the Hu Xiaochuan brothers, ran to drag back the three corpses shot by Huang Yi.

Huang Yi's family not only has three pairs of cotton armors, but also three pairs of leather armors.

However, in order to increase the defense power of the knights who participated in the charge, Huang Yi lent three pairs of leather armors to three young knights, including Charahab, who was affiliated with the Mongolian family he managed.

It wasn't that Charahab and the others didn't wear armor, but Huang Yi asked them to add a pair of leather armor to improve their defense and increase their chance of survival.

Therefore, only three young men, Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong, and Huang Dapeng, were equipped with cotton armor.

They all know that the crossbow arrows of the family leader Huang Yi are very rare. Qi Xiaoshan's family really has no iron, so they can't make them. One is lost and the other is missing.

So all of a sudden they rush out and grab the body.

However, the other party didn't know what the conspiracy was on Huang Yi's side, and they never imagined that they would take the risk just to recover the crossbow arrows.

So the other side didn't take any action and just watched three bodies being dragged in by a few teenagers.

Going out to grab corpses is not just as simple as having the crossbow arrows recovered.

One of the three knights Huang Yi shot was wearing iron armor.

Equipped with leather armor, Agudamu didn't mind the blood-stained iron armor being dirty at all, so he put it on with the help of his brother Amugulen. Not to mention, it fit perfectly.

The two brothers are definitely the most powerful in the car formation. Giving them the best equipment can improve their combat effectiveness.

So no one was dissatisfied.

Agudamu longed to own a pair of iron armor when he was a boy, and now he got his wish!

Soon the leather armors on the other two corpses were also stripped off, giving an advantage to Huang Dashuang and Huang Daquan who had no armor.

It is human nature to be able to see two things at once. There are four corpses within thirty or forty steps outside, which means there are still four pairs of leather armors.

This time, not only Huang Dayong and others were dispatched, but also Qi Dashan, his father and his son, and seven or eight Mongolian teenagers.

The other side also reacted, and several uninjured knights clamped down on the horse's belly...

Huang Yi had been observing the other party, and when he saw the other party rushing towards him, he immediately shouted: "Danger, come back quickly!"

While shouting, he pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow flew out and accurately hit the knight rushing at the front.

"Rumble..." The knight fell off his horse.

The Amuguleng brothers reacted very quickly. At this time, they were already shooting six feather arrows in a flurry of arrows.

The other party was not a vegetarian and responded with more than a dozen feather arrows.
