Although several barbarians were killed just now, the losses on his side were not small. Moreover, because the difference in numbers between the two sides was already too large, even if they took the credit for the sneak attack, there were still many barbarians left!
But in order to cover the escape of the women they had rescued earlier, they could only take the initiative to take on the important task of containing the barbarians. Otherwise, with the barbarians' horse speed, they would be able to catch up with them very quickly.
But you can't do things recklessly, you have to pay attention to methods. To rush forward head-on is not bravery, but a lack of brains. This is a battlefield, not a street fight. If you are not careful, you will die!
Under the command of Lao Ma, several people drove the horses to turn around. Just when the barbarians thought that these Tang soldiers were about to rush over, they grabbed the horse's reins and fled towards the left rear.
The leading barbarian was stunned for a moment, then said with a gloomy face: "Chase me!"
Originally, he thought that Tang soldiers fought bravely. Although they were enemies, he also admired their bloody spirit on the battlefield. But today's team of Tang people is a little different. These few people dare to come to save people, and they are indeed very courageous. However, after fighting for a while, you only focus on running. What does this mean? Is there any bloody spirit of a soldier?
If Lao Ma found out about this, he would definitely spit a mouthful of phlegm directly into his face, then look at him with contempt and say: "What a fool!"
Soldiers fight on the battlefield to protect their families and the country, not for others to see. If he puts himself in danger simply to show his bloody nature, he is definitely the stupidest person in the world!
In this current situation, keeping a useful body for the future is the most important thing!
With just our own people, it is impossible to completely get rid of the barbarians, and it is not very meaningful to spread out and escape. On the contrary, you may die faster!
The only plan for now is to lure these barbarians deeper into the territory, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope!
Moreover, as long as they lead people away, those women will be safer. If the two tigers who stayed in the ruins of the village could send a message to the army, maybe someone would come to rescue them, but looking at the boy's usual dull look, it would be difficult to think of this.
Everyone came to this conclusion in their hearts, thinking that the possibility of coming to support was not high. In this case, you still have to rely on yourself!
When fighting immediately, the barbarians already have an innate advantage. With just a few men and horses on their side, they are simply not enough to compete with them. If you want to survive, you can only force these pursuing barbarians to dismount and fight.
Of course, this alone is not enough. At most, it only returns the situation to its previous state and delays the death of some people. It is not enough to break the situation!
The power of these barbarians must be weakened as much as possible before they can win a chance to survive in the fight!
The distance between the two sides was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those barbarians would not pursue them honestly. Arrows flew towards them. Tang Bing was trying his best to avoid the damage of the arrows while fighting back.
But despite this, another Tang soldier fell off his horse after being hit by an arrow, and was trampled to death by barbarian horses.
"These damned thieves!" Lao Ma cursed angrily, but he didn't dare to stop at all.
He is the captain and the commander of this team. What he should do at this time is to ensure that the remaining people survive as much as possible. They must not let everyone lose their lives in vain because of impulse.
"Speed up!" Lao Ma said hurriedly.
War horses are the most loyal partners of cavalry. Horses are usually more valuable than people. But it was obviously not the time to think about this now. Several people shook the reins vigorously, pushing the horse's speed to the limit.
Immediately afterwards, another Tang soldier was pierced through the chest by an arrow. The blood was bright red, which obviously injured his internal organs. If the big black eyes on the horse hadn't protected him quickly with quick hands, he would have fallen off the horse long ago. Following in the footsteps of the previous Tang soldier.
But even so, the Tang soldier was about to die!
"Old Ma, what should I do?" Dahei asked anxiously.
Lao Ma frowned, looked around carefully, and said, "We're almost there!"
After galloping for a certain distance, looking at an open space in front of him, the old horse suddenly shouted: "Drive the horse and jump!"
Although everyone was a little confused after hearing the words, they still tightened the horse rope as instructed. The horse neighed, then jumped up and landed steadily in front.
Although the barbarians chasing behind heard the old horse's cry, they didn't know why, so they still drove their horses to pursue. Soon they could catch up with and kill these Tang soldiers!
Thinking of this, cruel smiles appeared on all the faces of the barbarians.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the horses in the front suddenly lost their hooves and fell directly. Then, several shrill screams were heard.
It turned out that at some point, a trench suddenly appeared in the empty space. The barbarians who were charging forward fell into it unexpectedly.
What's even more irritating is that the trench is filled with sharp wooden stakes, and the barbarians who fall down are like walking through candied haws, being directly stabbed to the core by both men and horses!
"Asshole! Get away!" the barbarian leader shouted.
Fortunately, they were good at controlling horses, so they didn't all fall into the ditch. But the first few people who fell in were not so lucky!
They were out for plunder this time, and they were so seriously injured in the Tang Kingdom that they couldn't be treated at all! In other words, these people were directly pronounced dead the moment they fell, which was equivalent to being abandoned!
Lao Ma directly killed several barbarians with this move, which made several people who were in the situation of death couldn't help being surprised and happy. They praised loudly: "Old Ma, you are so awesome! This move is really amazing!"
In his opinion, Lao Ma was hiding too deeply! How did he know there was a trap here? Could it be that he set it himself?
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt it was possible. Otherwise, how could Lao Ma be so familiar with this place?
Lao Ma led the way and called to several people: "Follow me, be careful of traps!"
I saw the old horse swaying from side to side, and the route it walked seemed to be unorganized. Out of trust in the former, Lin Yan and others also followed Lao Ma's route, and they were safe.
The old horse walked forward and said: "This is a trap left in the early years, specially designed to deal with cavalry. Although it has been abandoned for many years and the trap has been damaged a lot, it is estimated that it can still be used to some extent."
As he spoke, Lao Ma couldn't help but think of those glorious years in the past. At that time, he was still a pony, and the cavalry in the Tang Kingdom was weak. When faced with the fierce iron hoofs of the barbarians, they could only use these traps and other means to delay.
However, the immovable traps' hindrance to the barbarians was limited after all. After the opponent figured out the details of these traps, their effectiveness would be greatly reduced!
Later, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty worked hard to govern, and the cavalry of the Tang State became stronger and stronger, and these traps in previous years were gradually abandoned!
Unexpectedly, these traps would drink the blood of barbarians again in Lao Ma's hands today. It can be considered that they have lived up to the hard work of their predecessors.
However, the scope of the trap was limited after all. Lao Ma and others passed through it almost unscathed, and the pursuing barbarians finally successfully passed through the trap after paying seven or eight corpses.
At this time, the anger in the hearts of the barbarians also reached its peak. They all stared fiercely at the Tang soldiers who were the instigators, wishing to tear them into pieces!
In battlefield fighting, casualties are inevitable. But this battle is so infuriating!
At the beginning, these Tang soldiers carried out a sneak attack, which not only ruined everyone's "elegantness", but also killed several brothers. Then, they not only let the Tang women run away, but also used traps to trap and kill their own people again.
You must know that no matter from which angle you look at it, the barbarians are superior in numbers, but they did not kill all the Tang soldiers who dared to provoke them in a short period of time. Instead, they caused heavy losses to their own side. This is something they cannot do. Tolerated!
If they can't kill all these Tang soldiers here, then their pride as barbarians will no longer exist! If these Tang soldiers were allowed to escape successfully, they would lose all their face!
Repeated defeats only aroused the bloody and ferocious spirit of these barbarians. They screamed "Ao Ao" and drove their horses to chase Lao Ma and others.
They didn't expect that these old traps could hold back the barbarians for a long time. Rather, it was an unexpected surprise that these traps were able to kill many barbarians!
"Next, it's time to fight hard!" Lao Ma said solemnly to several people.
Nowadays, the power of the barbarians has been weakened a lot. Whether they live or die depends on this last fight!
As if he was a little worried about Lin Yan's condition, Lao Ma said to him: "Yan Ling, don't be afraid! We are all with you!"
This was the first time he went to the battlefield to encounter this kind of thing. This boy was quite unlucky! Lao Ma was also worried that he would not be able to bear the pressure of death.
Under such circumstances, once your heart is shaken, death is not far away!
There is a saying on the battlefield: "The more you fear death, the faster you may die!"
Lin Yan actually wanted to say: "Although this is my first time on the battlefield, I am not afraid of life and death fights!" Apart from anything else, has he not experienced enough things like "life hanging by a thread" in these years?
However, Lin Yan would not talk about these things. He also knew that Lao Ma meant well, so he nodded.
In the past, although these barbarian cavalry were fierce, they could not stand up to kill him! But now that he has experienced strangulation led by Xuantian Sect masters, it is extremely difficult for him to survive!
With his strength greatly reduced, it is really not an easy task to deal with these barbarians. Even though the opponent had lost many men, it still had thirteen riders, while our own side only had five left!
Although the results were fruitful, the overall strength comparison between the two sides has not changed at all!
But the current situation is the limit of what they have tried to achieve! After running for a long time, the horses are tired and the men are exhausted. It is impossible to continue to escape. The only way is to fight!
Life or death, leave it to fate!
