After leaving the forest, Xu Mu took a breath and looked around at the surrounding scenery. At this time, the Di army that was knocking off the pass was getting closer and closer.
The idea of fighting guerrillas is not realistic. These grassland aliens are best at fighting in roundabouts, running and shooting.
Only through surprise can there be a glimmer of hope.
In Hezhou City ahead, knocking off the gate is still in full swing.
…
A defender whose body was shot to pieces still maintained his posture of drawing his bow forcefully and stood at the top of the city for a long time.
"Throw the boiling water down!"
The civilians, gritting their teeth against the horse arrows that filled the sky, sent all the usable city-defending baggage to the top of the city.
Under the city wall, countless Di infantrymen let out miserable screams and fell from the city ladder.
The defenders who fought bloody battles stabbed their halberds and overturned the city ladders one after another, stabbing to death each of the Di people who wanted to climb first.
"Reserve battalion!" Lian Yong shouted anxiously and angrily as he saw more and more defenders dying.
The last reserve battalion quickly grabbed the halberd and ran towards the city.
The wounded soldiers who were helped down were all covered in blood, and the least injured ones also had two or three horse arrows hanging on their bodies.
Countless people in the distance were all weeping and silent.
"I want to join the army!" A bearded civilian husband suddenly shouted.
As they saw, in order to defend Hezhou, almost all of these soldiers were exhausted, but no one retreated.
"I'll go too!"
"Let's go together!"
Half a month ago, they were just the most ordinary people, working hard for the livelihood of their family.
But when the country is in trouble and the world is in trouble, even the lowest level people still have a warm heart.
There were at least thousands of civilians, roaring and picking up the halberds and bows of the wounded soldiers, and ran towards the city head regardless of life or death.
Lian Yong turned his head, his eyes trembling.
He remembered that that year, before he joined the army, he was like this. After hearing about many heroic generals, he became angry and joined the army.
"Our iron bones are the wall that resists the Di people!"
The whole city was filled with cries.
…
"Take the iron rope, connect the ten horses together, and hook each other into the armor of the horse's belly."
Xu Mu raised his head and gritted his teeth. The situation in Hezhou City in front of him was no longer optimistic. After all, the Di people are powerful and have sophisticated siege equipment. It seems that the entire Hezhou cannot stop them.
In this round, more than two thousand cavalrymen were just going to die.
"My young boss, if I can't go back, tell my young master for me. He is like a good man at the border and has no shame on him."
Chang Wei said calmly.
Xu Mu felt a little astringent in his heart.
"Let's go!" Chang Wei turned around and pointed his gun at the mighty Beidi army formation ahead.
"Let's go!!"
More than two thousand cavalrymen raised their iron spears.
"Kill one dog and ten liang, and you will be the lord of a thousand liang! Pick up the gun and go get rich with me!"
One rider, Jue Chen, and a group of more than two thousand horses rushed forward to kill them in an instant.
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. Previously, he actually had another grand plan, but it was a pity that time was too tight.
"The remaining ones will go with me to destroy Di Gou's baggage."
"Protect General Xu!"
More than two thousand iron cavalry opened the way, while the remaining light cavalry carried kerosene and fire-collapse rocks, waiting for the opportunity to move.
This is so difficult. Unfortunately, the army of the Di people in the grassland is too large.
…
"Then little boss." Tuoba Zhao sat on his horse and smiled with a sigh.
"Even if you have some skills, how can you stop it under such a general trend? The Beidi army of 300,000, coupled with the extremely sophisticated equipment, is enough to push the entire Central Plains flat."
"He can only fight to the death. There is a saying in the Central Plains... Killing one is enough, but killing two is profitable? Stupid man."
"No, no, King Zuo Khan, the horses are clearing the way, and the little boss is burning the baggage!" A Beidi Duhou nearby turned pale suddenly.
Tuoba Zhao was stunned, and then became furious, losing all his calmness just now.
"Quickly, send the cavalry to intercept him! What was that good-for-nothing Zhao Qingyun doing just now!"
"Throw kerosene!"
Along the way, there were kerosene thrown everywhere. At least three or four large baggage vehicles were suddenly caught in the fire and burned fiercely.
Horse arrows were flying all over the sky, and the corpses of Qingqi were spread all the way.
In front, there were also cavalrymen falling off their horses from time to time, using their last strength to help block the oncoming enemy troops.
"Throw the rope hook!"
Hundreds of rope hooks hooked a huge ladder truck during the attack. Hundreds of light cavalry were pulling together, dragging the entire ladder car to the point of collapse.
"Quick, cut the rope!"
After all, it was too late. The first ladder truck began to roll over unwillingly, and then fell down completely, kicking up dust on the ground.
Because of this, hundreds of light cavalry slowed down, and dozens of them were immediately shot dead on the spot.
"Damn it! Only a few thousand people! Destroy my luggage!"
"Encirclement and Suppression——"
The voice of a military commander who was originally furious suddenly stopped. He discovered a terrible thing. The war horse under his crotch became inexplicably restless.
"W-what's going on?"
Duhou turned his head and looked back hurriedly, and found that the 30,000 cavalrymen he had brought with him, as well as the horses, became restless, and there were even many who ran away in a panic.
You know, there are almost one person and one horse on the grassland, and there are very few problems. Only when they arrived at the camp were they put them in a manger to be fed.
"Run! Run!" Duhou was furious, raised his head, looked at the young master, burned a batch of baggage, and then walked away.
Turning his head again, he saw his own King Zuo Khan, his face was swollen with anger.
…
Hezhou City at this time.
An old pawn with a broken arm was guarding the south gate with his sword pressed. He heard the fighting at the North City Gate, which was extremely brutal, but he still did not leave his post without permission.
He was the only defender left at the south city gate. Everyone else went to defend the city to the death.
Dragging his broken body, he moved hundreds of steps and walked up to the watchtower. After rubbing his eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then he cried and laughed all at once.
He saw a long black snake, winding quickly on the sand at the border.
The scout from the outpost galloped over, opened his mouth, and roared an exciting sentence.
"Thirty thousand black-armored troops from Yuzhou are entering the city to help!"
"Please open the city gate."
