At this moment, outside Kaiyang City.
The failure of the first round of attack made Zhize Pingming change his mind, and he made a decision similar to that of Xichun Yeluqi.
Ordered to temporarily increase the shield formation to clear the way, the 20,000 cavalry subsequently decided. In an instant, soldiers gathered outside Kaiyang City, and the war was about to break out!
Ma Feihu looked at the changes under Kaiyang City and ordered his soldiers to attack the city with heavy slaves and ten heavy slaves. The horse-rejecting stakes made of pine branches were poured with kerosene, and they were ready to evacuate the battlefield at any time!
The ordering soldiers shouted, and the smell of kerosene suddenly spread on the battlefield.
The shield formation under Kaiyang City has been assembled. Under the command of General Wu Na Lone Wolf and Deputy General Zhi Zetian, they are advancing towards the southern Xinjiang position with neat steps.
Twenty thousand cavalry followed, slowly pressing towards the southern Xinjiang position with only two thousand soldiers.
"Send the order, fire a volley, and then light the kerosene. All soldiers will evacuate the battlefield as planned." Ma Feihu commanded calmly, raised his hand slave, and aimed at the shield formations of the grassland tribes.
"Give the order, fire a volley, and then light the kerosene!"
"Give the order, fire a volley, and then light the kerosene!"
Under the command of the flag bearer, the two thousand soldiers shot the arrows in their hands in an instant, and then lit the pine branches and kerosene beside them. In an instant, the southern Xinjiang position was ablaze with fire.
After completing the task of setting fire, the two thousand soldiers mounted their horses and quickly evacuated toward the rear.
A wall of fire several miles long instantly ignited outside Kaiyang City, isolating the retreating soldiers from southern Xinjiang and the attacking cavalry from the grassland.
Without waiting for Wu Na Lone Lang and deputy general Zhi Zetian to send troops for instructions, Zhi Zepingming, who was standing on the city tower, told the commanding soldiers beside him: "Send the order and order the 20,000 troops to cross the line of fire. The soldiers and horses of southern Xinjiang must be invaded in the future." Annihilate them all outside Kaiyang City!"
Before his troops could attack, the invading force set fire to retreat from the battlefield, burning even the heavy equipment used to attack the city. Without even thinking about it, he knew that this was a force without combat effectiveness.
In front of his 20,000 cavalry, there is no way he can fight back, and there are open areas for dozens of miles outside Kaiyang City, and there is not even a place for an ambush.
By the time Zhize Pingming's messengers arrived on the battlefield, Wu Na Lone Wolf and Zhi Zetian had already sent people to clear a passage from the fire wall, and the army was crossing the line of fire.
"The general sent an order. The 20,000-strong army has crossed the line of fire and must annihilate all the enemies outside Kaiyang City!" the ordering soldier said solemnly as he looked at the two generals.
"Go back and tell the general, waiting for our good news!" Wu Na Lone Wolf roared proudly.
"Command to mount your horse, the army will pursue you!" Zhi Zetian shouted to the messenger beside him.
"Send the order to mount your horse, the army will pursue you!"
...
Driven by the war drums of the army, the torrent of cavalry instantly chased them to the wasteland five miles outside the city.
I saw five more burning heavy slaves on the edge of the official road. Some curious soldiers tried to put out the fire, but they were doused with kerosene. The heavy slaves were so easy to put out, and they burned into a pile in a short time. skeleton.
The forward looked at Wu Na Lone Wolf and Zhi Zetian who were catching up and said with a smile: "The people from Southern Xinjiang are burning their weapons while running. I guess they are afraid that we will catch up and kill them!"
Wu Na Lone Wolf glanced at Zhi Zetian and said fiercely: "Chase for another ten miles. If there is no result, we will retreat to Kaiyang City!"
Ze Zetian looked at him worriedly and said, "General, could this be a trick of the enemy to lure us into pursuit and set up an ambush in front?"
Wu Na Lone Wolf raised his eyes and looked ahead, and said in a deep voice: "There are open areas for dozens of miles ahead. There is no place for them to set up an ambush. Send the order and pursue them immediately!"
"Send the order, the army will chase for another ten miles!"
"Send the order, the army will chase for another ten miles!"
The 20,000 cavalrymen only stopped for a moment, and then continued to pursue in the direction of the retreat of the soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang.
...
Ten miles away, the soldiers under the command of Yang Kaiyi had already built a long horse-repelling stake.
It was covered with pine branches, and the pine branches were covered with a layer of white snow. After being covered by the wind and snow, it was already difficult to see which was the road and which was the ambush.
Behind the fortifications is a row of shields.
Fifty heavy slaves lined up behind the shield formation.
More than nine thousand bow slaves holding arrows stood quietly behind the heavy slaves.
The war is about to break out.
Yang Kaiyi looked at Ma Feihu who had returned from the retreat, and said in a solemn voice: "When the Kaiyang cavalry comes within range, first the fifty-heavy slaves will fire a salvo, then our five thousand soldiers will fire a salvo, and then Jiang Shuai's four thousand elite soldiers will fire a salvo." Fire a volley, and do the same in the next round, don’t give the prairie cavalry a chance to charge over!”
Jiang Huo also added in a deep voice: "Three rounds of volleys, the entire army must obey the command of the flag bearer!"
Ma Feihu nodded and said to the flag bearer behind him: "When the war starts, follow this method. After three rounds, there will be nearly 30,000 arrows and heavy arrows, which is enough for them!"
The flag bearer nodded, turned and left.
Before everyone finished speaking, they heard a roar that shook the mountains and the earth. The Kaiyang army finally caught up with them, and 20,000 iron ginseng horses poured out like a torrent, getting faster and faster. close!
"Let them get within 150 feet and start shooting!" Yang Kaiyi ordered.
"Let them get within 150 feet and start shooting!" Ma Feihu gave the order to the flag bearer.
"Let them get within 150 feet, and then start shooting!"
A shout rang out in the formation.
Twenty thousand cavalry galloped in the snow in the wilderness. The snowflakes splashed by the war horses shrouded the rushing Kaiyang cavalry in a white mist. From a distance, it looked like a flood of snow mist heading toward the soldiers of southern Xinjiang. The position came.
Unstoppable!
Keep moving forward!
"Send the order to shoot!" Yang Kaiyi shouted!
"Send the order to shoot!" Ma Feihu roared!
"Command to shoot!"
...
The flag bearer received the order and waved the flag.
Fifty heavy-duty missiles fired in an instant, and fifty heavy-duty missiles flew toward the incoming snow and mist like a black sickle that harvested life.
Li Ye basically put the heavy slaves he had made these days on the Kaiyang battlefield, waiting for this moment to arrive.
Tens of thousands of soldiers have endured countless humiliations day and night, waiting for this moment!
In an instant, thunder from the sky caught fire on the ground.
Countless lives are ending in an instant.
The north wind is blowing hard.
The snow is flying.
They were more than 140 feet apart, and could not hear the sound that was so heavy that it penetrated their bones.
I saw the torrent of snow and mist dissipating instantly, and the horse that had been hit by an arrow and fell to the ground was screaming its last cry in life.
Before the cavalry in the snow and fog could react, five thousand arrows were like locusts raining down from the sky, biting the cavalry in front, whether they were war horses or cavalry in armor.
"Enemy attack! We were ambushed by the enemy!"
"Enemy attack! In revenge, the general's army needs to evacuate immediately!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
Before the 20,000 cavalrymen could make a countermeasure, another round of 4,000 arrows pierced the snow and fog and shot over without distinction!
For a moment, the sounds of war horses falling to the ground, the roars of soldiers who were hit by arrows, the cries for help from serious injuries, and the trampling of horses rushing from behind became a chaotic mess in the open snowy field.
There was no chance for the 20,000 cavalry to breathe. The flag bearer did not need to give orders for the second and third rounds of attacks. With just a wave of his hand, fifty heavy arrows, five thousand arrows, and four thousand arrows were launched one after another. It pours like a torrential rain.
The white wasteland was dyed red in just an instant, and pungent blood rushed into the north wind. The battlefield where the two faced each other turned into a cruel Shura field, and the sickle of death was harvesting lives one after another.
"Don't relax, let's fire another two rounds!" Yang Kaiyi roared.
"Send the order, two volleys!" Ma Feihu shouted to the flag bearer.
"Send the order, two volleys!"
...
The 20,000 cavalrymen who had fallen had already fallen down, and those who could not hold back were still rushing forward. Wu Na Lone Wolf and Zhi Zetian came to their senses, and even if they roared loudly and retreated, it had no effect.
After all, a charge of 20,000 troops cannot be stopped so easily, let alone 20,000 cavalry!
Looking at the fallen horses and soldiers in front of them, Wu Na Lone Wolf and Zhi Zetian roared with grief, anger and helplessness!
"Send the order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops, the army returns to the city!" Una Lone Wolf roared.
"Send the order, call the gold and withdraw the troops, the army will return to the city!" Zhi Zetian shouted.
"Send the order, call the gold and withdraw the troops, the army will return to the city!" the ordering soldier roared.
Suddenly, the horn of retreat sounded on the battlefield, and the chaos of the cavalry came to their senses. The army made a noise, and the surviving soldiers ran back desperately.
Even if we are ten miles into the snow and have lost our horse, we still have to run back with all our strength!
After all, only by returning to the city alive can there be hope. If you stay, you can only become a sacrifice to the god of death.
After five rounds of volleys, less than half of the grassland army was evacuated alive. More people left their young lives in this wasteland and became fertilizer for the next spring grass.
Looking at the bloody battlefield ahead, Ma Feihu, Jiang Huo and other generals also frowned. Their great joy was followed by huge shock. After all, they had been roaming Nanshan for many years and had never seen such a bloody battlefield.
Hundreds of heavy soldiers and tens of thousands of arrows were really harvesters of iron-blooded life. This first head-to-head confrontation made them feel the impeccable strategy and powerful weapon performance of the national division.
From today on, the cavalry of the grassland tribes are no longer a myth!
The soldiers of southern Xinjiang have their own beliefs.
"Send two thousand soldiers to bring back the uninjured horses on the battlefield. The army will evacuate and go back to join the generalissimo and the national division."
Yang Kaiyi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
Li Ye said that he wanted nothing but war horses on the grassland.
There are no good war horses in southern Xinjiang, so this opportunity cannot be missed.
"Remember, don't hurt the injured prairie soldiers. Just take the war horses and come back!" Jiang Yan ordered from the side.
Ma Feihu looked at the two of them, clasped his fists and said, "This matter will be finalized. Please rest assured, sir."
...
"Master Yang, there are a lot of good things on this battlefield. Are we really not going to clean it up?" Jiang Huo looked at Yang Kaiyi and asked in a solemn voice.
Yang Kaiyi looked at him, shook his head and said: "The Imperial Adviser said that if we clean up the battlefield now, if Kaiyang's defenders attack at all costs, it will not be something we can resist with our small force. We are attacking by surprise, and we have to catch up before they come back." God’s time, evacuate the battlefield!”
Jiang Huo nodded when he heard this and said: "Our victory this time will probably give the generals of the grassland tribes a headache for a while."
Yang Kaiyi told the messenger: "Pour the fifty heavy slaves with kerosene and set them on fire. The army will pack up its equipment and prepare to withdraw to Nanyun City."
"You don't want all these weapons?" Jiang Cong exclaimed.
Yang Kaiyi looked at him and smiled lightly: "When the Imperial Master ordered the casting of this batch of equipment, he was not prepared to take them back to Nanyun City. After all, they will be cast with fine iron in the future."
Jiang Huo suddenly understood, stroking his palms and exclaimed: "So this is the truth. How can I tell the craftsmen to rush to make this wooden weapon?"
"Looking at this time, the Imperial Army should also withdraw its troops from Xichun, and it's time for us to leave."
Yang Kaiyi took a deep breath and said with emotion. "Bandage the injured soldiers and treat them carefully when they return to Nanyun City."
After a great battle, one's own side was also hit by a lot of arrows. At first count, hundreds of people were injured by the arrows of the opponent's cavalry. Fortunately, no one died, so it was considered a great victory.
