There are no burning haystacks in the direction of the city gate, and there are still some shops that the merchants will not have time to evacuate in the future.
The Di soldiers from Wang Ting were best at riding and shooting, so they gave up and forced their way to the city.
The cavalry remounted their horses, deliberately walked around the store to a hidden place, and shot arrows at the city wall for free.
At this time, the big shield on the city wall was not able to be used. Yu Lao and others did not even have a chance to show their faces, so they had to hide behind the wall stacks again. Yiming and the others also retreated to the city.
The whine of arrows tearing through the air is the monster grinding its teeth.
Time seemed to freeze in the sound of arrows, but the loud noise in the next second easily interrupted these strange screams.
Boom! Boom!
The effects of landmines and grenades were completely different. Song Liyun felt the city wall beneath him tremble, and the whizzing arrow rain stopped for an instant.
Mr. Yu and others did not care about the danger and looked down.
The mines opened two deep craters and knocked down several horses.
The other cavalrymen were running around, their horses' hooves were trampling over them, and the roaring sounds of the buried mines were heard one after another.
This time, the horse was so frightened that the man could no longer control it.
Outside Mida City, there was a chaos of explosions, people shouting and horses neighing.
Song Liyun stepped out of the archery tower, pointed at the explosive point that was still roaring below, and said: "Mr. Yu, there are not many mines left, so let's get out of the city!"
If these words had been spoken a quarter of an hour ago, it would have been regarded as a blind command without understanding of military affairs. But at this moment when Song Liyun said it, Mr. Yu wiped the dust from the arrows on his face and grinned: "Okay, the third lady is just waiting.
Listen to the good news!”
After saying that, he turned back to the patrol on the city wall and said, "Now is your chance to make contributions! One tael of silver per person, and a hundred taels for a hundred households!"
Wow!
The eyes of the patrol guards suddenly turned red! The people lying down below were either people or money. All they had to do was go down and pick them up.
The city gate opened, and dozens of patrol members and horse bandits, led by Jian Fangtong, rushed out on horseback.
They wore helmets and bright armor. They not only carried broadswords, but also the remaining grenades. They were evenly distributed and each person could have one.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!
Even if there are hundreds of Wang Tingjun outside the chaotic city at this time, they are not afraid.
The predecessors of these patrol teams were originally caravan escorts, so they might not be able to fight against the army, but now the royal cavalry outside the city are distracted, and the generals are running around without any soldiers. They are completely in disarray and have no deterrent effect.
One-on-one, in front of these powerful martial arts masters, Wang Ting's army was vulnerable to a single blow.
The patrol members raised their knives and cut them to the ground before cutting off their heads. They also went to the darkest places where there were many people.
If you encounter a small group of people, throw a grenade and knock them down in one go.
On the city wall, Mr. Yu urged catapults to provide long-range fire support, hot oil, stones, and even a hurriedly delivered mine.
Under the attack of this unprecedented weapon, the ambitious Wang Tingjun retreated after only holding on for half an hour.
In the distance, the tribesmen who should have dispersed gathered more and more.
Clan soldiers and herdsmen came from all directions. In addition to them, there were dozens of former slaves holding hoes and sickles in the crowd.
They are here for revenge!
Killing cries echoed throughout the night, until the sun rose again in the sky, exposing the battlefield to everyone's sight.
The blood on the ground has turned into thin ice, stiff corpses placed in various postures, the exploded land, and charred horses make people feel like they are in a lonely hell.
Only the faint moans and the haystacks that were burning all night and still emitting black smoke made me feel that this was a world of living people.
After a busy day, the battle report was not compiled until the evening.
The Wang Ting army lost 230 people and 500 horses.
The patrol team led by Jian Fangtong suffered three deaths and 25 injuries.
The number of tribal casualties was high, with fifty-eight dead and over two hundred injured.
As for those slaves whom Song Liyun had not planned at all, apart from the thirty or so dead, almost all of them who were alive were injured.
The outcome of this battle was beyond Song Liyun's expectation, but it was also reasonable.
Here in the Mida Valley, many tribes migrated from the Xuyang Grassland. The good and the bad vary. Some sellers seek glory, but some are as loyal as the Muhan tribe.
As for the dozens of slaves, they hated Wang Tingjun so much that they almost traded their lives for their lives.
Although they are now staying in Mida City and have not returned to the Wu Dynasty, with the masters of the Wu Dynasty like Song Liyun here, it is basically the same as going back.
But Wang Tingjun still comes to disturb the peaceful life, how can I bear it?
Song Liyun also interrogated the two rebel leaders as quickly as possible.
It was learned from their mouths that the royal court had long had its sights on Mida City.
It's just that the two places are far apart, and the Zhenbei Army is openly present, because the matter of marrying the princess is causing a mess, and the tribes can't get away from it.
So now that the royal court has just stabilized, it can't wait to reach out.
"Mr. Yu, there are a thousand people coming from Wang Tingjun.
Two hundred of them went to rob the caravan, and eight hundred came to rob the empty city!"
Song Liyun couldn't help but feel frightened secretly when he told these situations.
The other party used eight hundred elite cavalry to attack Mida City because they were sure that the city was empty.
If we rely on the more than 100 patrol teams to defend the city and attack separately, it will obviously be impossible to defend it.
But as soon as they arrived at Mida City, they were attacked by an unprecedented storm and thunder.
From the first rocket, they were in a state of ignorance, with no room for thinking.
Now... where are the remaining Wang Tingjun?
Mr. Yu spent this day sitting on the city wall, taking care of the various military affairs. He said calmly: "Wang Tingjun lost his war horse, and those who escaped were on foot. Dozens of them have been captured by tribal herdsmen using horse poles, and the rest are fleeing north.
Intending to join up with the caravan group!"
The war horses were disturbed by the gunpowder, and some of them died, leaving only more than a hundred healthy horses for the fleeing royal army.
However, the number of tribal herdsmen has now gathered to over a thousand. Although they are not warriors, they are still men of flesh and blood. With their large number of people, they still have the confidence to defeat these defeated troops who have lost their spirit.
Moreover, there were dozens of Jian Fangtong among them, like a pack of wolves surrounding a tiger. Wherever there was a lone Wang Tingjun, they would be swallowed up.
They were driven and surrounded all the way, and they were gradually encircling the caravan.
Song Liyun frowned slightly: "Have any news been sent back to Fang Zheng and others?"
The escort team led by Lin Qingyuan has hundreds of people, plus the Muhan tribe and Fang Zheng, there should be no big problem in dealing with the two hundred cavalry.
Speaking of Fang Zheng and Lin Qingyuan, Mr. Yu looked relaxed and laughed: "Boss Lin is really a smart man. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he sent someone to deliver a message back, and on the other hand he stopped the caravan, released the animal power, and chopped down
He cut off the ropes and built a protective wall with goods, and he immediately captured the merchants who were trying to steal the goods."
No one can move a heavily bundled cart without a horse and a rope to pull it.
The escort can also build a city with vehicles to form a simple version of protection, which does not benefit the elite soldiers of the Royal Court.
It's just that their battlefield is much more cruel than here in Mida City.
Mr. Yu did not elaborate on the specific casualties. The note he got now was just a few words sent back by a flying pigeon that Lin Qingyuan carried with him.
Moreover, Song Liyun is pregnant now, so it is not suitable for her to worry too much.
