According to Tang Yi's original thinking, it would not be a big problem for Zhao Yun to have 10,000 elite soldiers guarding the county. This was based on her judgment of the situation on the field and her assessment of the enemy's combat power.
By the same token, the Huben Battalion should have used two charges to kill an equal number of enemy infantry in front of them with almost no damage.
But the reality still gave Tang Yi a big blow.
One for two.
Although this was due to the enemy's sudden change of formation and the inexplicable pulling out of a giant shield and a long sword, the underlying meaning could not help but make Yu Yi wary.
The other party is not a bunch of rabble, but comes prepared.
Then I am afraid that all previous judgments about myself will be overturned.
Where did the enemy come from? The seemingly unorganized stragglers can actually have such strong discipline. What is the purpose of these people?
She originally wanted to help Zhao Yun from the county to fight the autumn wind on the outside, but now she had to start worrying about whether Zhao Yun from the county could withstand the opponent's tidal wave of attacks.
Leaving aside conspiracies and intrigues, if all the soldiers on the other side can maintain the same combat effectiveness as against the Huben Army, even if it is only maintained at 80%, then it will be difficult for Zhao Yun to stand up.
What's more, with 10,000 soldiers and horses against 30,000 infantry troops, it is another city defense battle. The horses are almost useless, and the county town that has just been captured is still undecided, and there are still unknown unrest factors in the city...
It was easy to kill the less than a thousand enemy infantry in front of her. Firstly, she had to consider the loss of her troops. More importantly, she was afraid that she might not be able to rush to the rescue of Zhao Yun who was defending the city in time.
There are three paths before Tang Yi.
Encircle and annihilate the enemy forces in front of you as quickly as possible. When the time comes, you can either rush to Zhao Yun's aid directly or go back to the party to ask for help. The latter will take a little longer, but at least your own life is not in danger. If you delay it for just one more minute, the danger on Zhao Yun's side will be great. One more point.
Or just turn around and rush to Zhao Yun's aid now, ignoring the "stragglers" of less than a thousand people in front of him.
But she was not sure whether the thousands of tiger troops under her command could make the final decision.
It didn't take Tang Yi long to make a decision.
"charge!"
She ordered lightly and rushed forward immediately.
The Tiger and Ben troops under his command could no longer resist the impulse in their hearts. They tightened their grip on the horse's belly and charged after Tang Yi.
The two sides were strangled together again.
It's just that this time, Tang Yi didn't give the opponent any chance. With the mobility and impact of the war horse, he instantly smashed the enemy's formation into pieces, and then defeated them one by one, without giving the opponent any chance.
Sure enough, those enemy troops only brought those giant shields and long spears. Just now they were able to achieve miraculous results by taking them by surprise, but now they are not so lucky.
At the cost of another two hundred tiger camp losses, the opponent was finally wiped out.
Tang Yi's armor was stained with blood. He turned his head and glanced at the county town in the distance, and heard faint shouts of killing from there.
She is determined enough and knows what her purpose is, so she must ensure that her men have enough combat power to complete the agreement with Qi Zhen. As for Zhao Yun, I wish him good luck.
"Go back to the party!" Tang Yi issued the order.
The remaining 800 Huben battalions responded to the order in unison. Without taking any rest or even cleaning the battlefield, they followed the heroine whose armor was covered in bloodstains and galloped towards the superior party.
Soon they arrived outside Shangdang City, Tang Yi's eyes were a little tired.
Ever since they received the secret letter from Guo Jia, the Huben Battalion had been in a state of rapid march. After arriving at Shangdang, they went non-stop to quell the rebellion. What they thought was something they could handle suddenly turned out to be something big or small. To be honest, everyone in Huben camp, including Tang Yi, really needed a rest.
But thinking about the situation Zhao Yun was facing now, Tang Yi had to cheer up again.
The eight hundred cavalry troops marched slowly towards Shangdang County City, but Tang Yi's expression became more serious.
Although Shangdang is not a big city, the so-called main city of a county is equivalent to the core prefecture-level city in modern society. It is almost noon, but there are no people coming and going outside the city gate, which makes it look particularly deserted and strange.
After walking a little further, Tang Yi frowned, and without even saying hello to the Huben battalion under his command, he clapped his horse and moved forward quickly, arriving at the foot of Shangdang City.
The city gate is closed.
No wonder there are no people coming and going, but why is the city gate closed in broad daylight? When was it closed again?
Could it be...
"General Zhao Yun is trapped in the lower county. Go and report to Feng Jia quickly and ask him to send troops to support him quickly!" Tang Yi yelled at the tower.
However, except for the whistling of the wind, no one answered her words.
Tang Yi suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Where is the guard? Open the city gate quickly!" Tang Yi shouted again.
Still no one answered.
Tang Yi was not stupid. Although she didn't understand what happened, she felt keenly that something might have changed.
So he quickly turned his horse's head, came to the front of the Huben camp, and loudly ordered: "Return to the aid of General Zhao!"
The officers and soldiers in Huben camp didn't know the reason, but looking at the look on General Tang Yi's face, they were afraid that something bad had happened. They obeyed the order in unison and did not dare to slack off at all.
This walk lasted another half an hour.
"General, I'm afraid the war horse can't hold on any longer." A general reminded Tang Yi.
Tang Yi naturally knew that the war horse was in poor condition and was even a little tired. If this continued, even if the war horse was still alive, its future combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
However, she didn't dare to stop. She had to join Zhao Yun as soon as possible.
Judging from the attitude shown by Shangdangcheng and the situation the two faced, Tang Yi's ominous premonition seems to be about to be verified.
There is a problem in Shangdang County! There may even be problems in the entire Bingzhou!
It's just that she is still not sure whether Feng Jia wants to harm Zhao Yun or Guo Jia wants to harm Zhao Yun, but no matter what, Zhao Yun must not die here!
Soon, Huben Camp arrived at the outskirts of the county and saw the scene here.
The number of Yellow Turban rebels still surrounded outside is far less than 30,000. Judging from the remaining corpses on the ground, it is likely that many enemy troops have already broken into the county town and are now fighting with Zhao Yun's infantry in the city. street fighting!
Bursts of shouts of killing came from the county town, and you can imagine how fierce the battle inside was.
Tang Yi no longer hesitated and charged towards the county.
Seeing the coach taking the lead, the Huben battalion behind them naturally refused to be followed and followed forward one after another, launching a charge!
The enemy obviously didn't expect where this cavalry army suddenly appeared from, and it was a little confused for a while.
Tang Yi, who was closest to the enemy, felt slightly relieved when he saw the enemy's attire and weapons.
It seems that these enemies have used all their sophisticated weapons to defend themselves against their cavalry. The enemies here are still a group of rebels armed with all kinds of weapons.
However, what Tang Yi didn't realize was how on earth these stragglers could break into the county guarded by Zhao Yun's elite soldiers and generals?
She didn't have enough time to think about so many things. Her only purpose was to get together with Zhao Yunbing as soon as possible to discuss how to break out of the encirclement.
In Tang Yi's heart, protecting Zhao Yun's safety actually takes priority over the illusory occupation of Xiliang.
Both she and Qi Zhen understood that with more than a thousand soldiers from the Huben Battalion, it was not something that could be accomplished in a month or two to create a force that could influence the situation in Liangzhou.
The cavalry rushes in like a tiger into a flock of sheep, killing people like melons and vegetables!
Tang Yi still maintained her domineering fighting style in the chaotic battle. She wielded a spear so airtight that no enemy could get within one meter of her!
At first glance, the spear in Tang Yi's hand is actually inconspicuous, but upon closer inspection, you will find that this simple spear is actually overflowing with color and is covered with unknown lines, making it look extremely strange and gorgeous.
Whether it was in Longzhong or in the later Battle of Sishui Pass, Tang Yi refused to hand over this spear to Qi Zhen for use. There is a reason!
Because this is an epic weapon called the Fire Dragon Spear.
Although it was given to Tang Yi by Gongsun Zan for use, the moment he got the gun, Tang Yi knew that the gun fit him perfectly, and he even had the illusion that it was his natal weapon.
Fire Dragon Spear, as the name suggests, is like fire and dragon. The gun barrel is made of century-old mahogany and is extremely hard. It was soaked in cooked oil for fifteen years. The body of the gun was carefully carved by craftsmen. A giant dragon and snake were coiled on it. The dragon's mouth was carved on the tip of the gun, as if it was swallowing clouds and spitting mist. The tip of the spear is made of cold iron, and it is difficult for ordinary iron to block its edge.
However, perhaps due to the many owners, the color of the red copper on it has long turned dark, and even the dragon pattern on it has disappeared, and it is even more inconspicuous in Tang Yi's hand.
This gun is perfect for Tang Yi. Whether it’s the gun, Tang Yi’s character, or the way she uses it to fight, it almost brings out the full power of this spear!
It is precisely because of the overbearing power of this gun that Tang Yi, an ordinary person, can show such strength in countless battles. Otherwise, she would have died a long time ago!
After shooting away the four enemy soldiers in front of him with one shot, Tang Yi shouted loudly behind him: "Don't be obsessed with fighting, charge in!"
Before she finished speaking, more enemies surrounded her. They were almost using their lives to block the impact of the horses, and they were determined to make the eight hundred tiger soldiers fall into the quagmire!
Tang Yi's body suddenly leaned back, and the handle of the gun in his right hand suddenly waved in a large circle of nearly 300 degrees around him. A black light shone in front of the soldiers who charged forward, and they all met a miserable end with blood sealing their throats.
Although the Hu Ben army under his command are all brave men, they are obviously not as proficient in combat skills as Tang Yi. At least they have strong riding skills to support them. Therefore, although they are surrounded by dangers, their lives are not in danger.
Tang Yi suddenly raised his head at this moment, a cold light flashing in his eyes!
