Chapter 1611 , The Battle of the Valley

 In any case, after this fight, Fang Xiaoyue was recognized by the generals.

In the early morning of the next day, which was Yin Shi, Fang Xiaoyue quietly set out on horseback with four hundred county soldiers.

It should be said that Tongdas Khan has always sent people to keep an eye on the reinforcement camps in Dahe Province.

More than a hundred scout cavalry are constantly roaming within a few kilometers of the camp, and new scout cavalry will come to change shifts every three hours.

It can be said that no creature coming out of the camp, not even a pigeon, can escape their eyes.

But Fang Xiaoyue is a guy who doesn't do things according to routine.

After so many days, he drew and accumulated a large number of invisibility charms.

This is not surprising. If the invisibility charm does not have too high requirements on the invisibility time, then Fang Xiaoyue can draw thirty pictures in one hour.

Of course, the quality of such invisibility charms can only be considered poor, and each one can only last for five minutes.

But just five minutes were enough for Fang Xiaoyue to run wildly with his county soldiers and escape from the surveillance of the barbarian scout cavalry.

After escaping from the surveillance of the barbarian scout cavalry, Fang Xiaoyue led the county soldiers in a large circle and appeared two hundred meters outside Tongdas Khan's camp.

To say that Tongdas Khan's camp is far inferior to the Dahe Province reinforcements.

Due to the previous defeat in the Tietou Valley, Tongdas Khan's tribe lost almost all their tents, most of their food, grass, cattle, sheep, etc.

Therefore, the camp where the Tongdas Khan tribe was stationed was very simple, with some trees cut down and wooden fences surrounding it, and there were only a few tents inside.

Except for Tongdas Khan and some senior generals such as captains of thousands, the rest of the cavalry were sleeping with their horses in their arms.

No way, although the season in Qiongshui County is about to enter early summer, it is still relatively cold at night.

The only good thing is that it didn't rain at all in Qiongshui County during this period. Otherwise, the cavalry would have been miserable.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiaoyue felt a little regretful. If he had known this, he shouldn't have sold all the war horses. At this time, a group of fire horses would attack the barbarians, which would at least cause the barbarians to blow up the camp.

Of course, this is just a small regret.

After all, if so many war horses were raised to this point, they would probably have cut off three feet of the land in Qiongshui County.

"Ready! Attack!"

After a little deployment of tactics, Fang Xiaoyue issued the order.

Under his leadership, four hundred county soldiers mounted their horses one after another, and then rushed all the way towards Tongdas Khan's camp.

In fact, when they rushed to 50 meters, the sentry in Tongdas Khan's camp spotted them and immediately shouted a warning.

Fang Xiaoyue killed the sentry with one arrow.

However, with the warning from the first sentry, more sentries also started to warn and hid their bodies under the wooden fence to avoid being shot again by Fang Xiaoyue.

But no matter what, with the sentry warning, the cavalry in the camp woke up from their dreams and mounted their horses one after another, preparing to meet the attacking enemy.

But those county soldiers had no intention of rushing into the camp to fight. Instead, after approaching the camp, they lit the two torches they carried, followed the horse's momentum and threw them into the camp, and then walked around the camp for a short distance.

Circle out of combat.

After 800 torches were thrown into the camp, the effect was not very good. Only a few dozen torches were thrown on the scattered food and grass, causing some fires.

But more torches fell to the ground, unable to even burn the cavalry.

Tongdas Khan, who had just been woken up in the middle of his sleep, was furious when he learned that the enemy's sneak attack failed and only burned a small amount of food and grass, and immediately ordered a team of cavalry to pursue him.

In fact, before he could give the order, there were two captains in the camp, leading most of their men who had barely gathered together, out of the camp to pursue him.

Fang Xiaoyue's raid was actually just a sheep attack. His real purpose was to lure the cavalry out of the camp.

If the number of chasing cavalry is only a few hundred, then try to eat it in one bite. If the number of chasing cavalry is too large, more than two or three thousand, try to get away as much as possible, and then look for opportunities.

At this time, the thousands of barbarian cavalry who came out of camp to pursue them were just outnumbered.

If you eat it, it will inevitably cause some losses. If you just abandon the opponent and run away, it seems a bit wasteful.

After thinking for a while on the bumpy horseback, he decided to eat this wave of pursuing barbarian cavalry.

Taking advantage of the two horses, Fang Xiaoyue and others led the thousands of barbarian cavalry in several circles, and then they all dismounted near a valley and set up an ambush line through the piles of rocks near the valley.

The horses of the barbarian cavalry were also running weak. After all, they left the camp in a hurry and only rode one horse. Compared with the county soldiers with one man and two horses, there must be a big gap in horse power.

So when they saw each other actually dismounted and fled into the pile of rocks, they rushed forward one by one with great excitement.

It's not that no one expected that the other side would ambush, but our own force was more than twice that of the other side, which gave the two captains great confidence.

But when they rushed to a hundred meters, more than a hundred county soldiers in the rubble fired a wave of arrows, and in an instant, more than a dozen cavalry were shot off their horses.

This is not surprising. As mentioned before, these county soldiers are several times stronger than ordinary county soldiers in all aspects due to their long-term practice of the Sky-shattering Sword Technique.

And their shooting skills are not weak now.

In addition, they carry walking bows, which are much stronger than mounted bows in terms of range and bow power.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that more than ten barbarian cavalry were shot and killed within a hundred meters.

Fang Xiaoyue divided the county soldiers into three waves and fired according to the three-stage attack tactic.

As a result, when the barbarian cavalry charged towards the pile of rocks, a wave of arrows would rain down every ten meters they advanced.

By the time they rushed to the pile of rocks and dismounted to charge into the pile of rocks, more than two hundred cavalrymen had already been shot off their horses.

After they entered the pile of rubble, the first thing they encountered was the attack of more than a dozen Taoist soldiers.

These dozen Tao soldiers were summoned by Fang Xiaoyue from her hometown. They spent almost ten times more time practicing the Sky-shattering Sword Technique than the county soldiers.

Therefore, they are all above the level of Zhentian Sword Art, and several Taoist soldiers have also practiced the Zhentian Sword Art to great success.

As soon as Taoist soldiers like this took action, they immediately killed the barbarian cavalry by surprise.

The long sword in the hand of the Taoist soldier faintly revealed the light of the sword, which could be said to be cutting iron like mud. The scimitar of the barbarian cavalry could not block the slashing of the long sword at all. In an instant, even the man with the sword came from the horseback

Was chopped down.

In less than a few breaths, by the time the Taoist soldiers ducked back into the rocks, there were more than fifty cavalry corpses lying at the entrance of the rubble.

This was because the subsequent cavalry picked up their bows and shot at them blindly, so that the Taoist soldiers had to retreat. If not, the number of barbarian cavalry killed would have been even greater.

In fact, even if many cavalry rushed into the pile of rocks, the following cavalry would still be covered by arrow rain from time to time.

The two sides then started a fierce fight among the piles of rocks.

By the time the two captains escaped from the rubble under the protection of their personal guards and ran all the way back to the camp, there were only less than two hundred of the thousand cavalry they brought out.

The Taoist soldiers from Qiongshui County made these two captains know what infantry warfare is.

"Vice Khan! The opponent's strength is too strong! I only blocked three swords, and the sword you gave me was cut off!"

The two defeated captains knelt in front of Tongdas Khan and recounted the story of the battle with their bodies trembling.

After hearing this, Tongdas Khan really wanted to chop these two guys to death.

A thousand cavalry were brought out, and more than a hundred came back. The other party only had 400 men.

Such results made him think that the two commanders had lied about the military situation.

If it were not for the fact that they were well-connected in the military and was afraid of causing civil strife, Tongdas Khan would have killed them both on the spot.

After scolding the two of them and whipping them with a whip to discourage them, Tongdas Khan told them to get out.

Subsequently, Tongdas Khan ordered people to strengthen the security around the camp.

After all, if the camp was stolen the first time, it can be said to be negligence, but if the camp is stolen the second time, it would be incompetence.

But what happened to this enemy? Tongdas Khan really thought about it for a long time.

If it was said that the troops were separated from the Dahe Province reinforcement camp, he would never believe it.

He believed that under the strict watch of those barbarian scouts, it would be impossible for Dahe Province's reinforcements to escape so many pairs of eyes.

It would make more sense to say that the other party sent reinforcements from Dahe Province again.

Thinking of this, Tongdas Khan had the idea of ​​breaking out of camp and fleeing to Dahe Province.

The reason is simple. He is worried that Dahe Province will heavily guard its passage. In that case, he will be locked up in a small place like Qiongshui County!

At that time, Daze Kingdom does not need to send troops. As long as its food and grass are exhausted, it will be defeated without fighting.

Thinking of this result, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Tongdas Khan's back.

This Qiongshui County is a dead place!

Although there is a possibility of falling into danger when jumping to Dahe Province, at least it will not be as dangerous as Qiongshui County.

With more than 6,000 cavalry remaining, it is impossible for Daze Kingdom to engage in a field battle with itself.

As a result, Tongdas Khan waited until dawn, then broke out of camp and headed towards Dahe Province.

Fang Xiaoyue quickly discovered the actions of Tongdas Khan.

This is not surprising. Even if Tongdasi Khan uses his troops like a god, there is no way he can escape Fang Xiaoyue's detection.

Two paper cranes were constantly hovering three hundred meters above the Tongdas Khan.

Even if the only remaining priest of the Tongdas Khan tribe discovered the paper crane hovering in the sky, there was nothing he could do.

Because the ability of the priest is not enough for such a high position.

As for the bows used by the barbarian cavalry, it is even more of a joke.

After discovering that the barbarians had abandoned their camp and headed towards Dahe Province, Fang Xiaoyue knew Tongdas Khan's intention.

After he and others harassed him a few times, he had no choice but to let the other party leave.

In the battle at the rubble pile, eight county soldiers were killed.

Although 800 enemies were destroyed and eight people were killed, it was already a miraculous result.

But Fang Xiaoyue was not willing to have a head-on conflict with the barbarian cavalry. In that case, the losses of the county soldiers would be greatly increased.

After all, on the battlefield, no one knows whether the next shot will hit them.

The population of Qiongshui County is already small. If one or two hundred county soldiers were killed or injured, it would really mean that every household would be hung with white silk ribbons.

After hearing that the barbarians had broken camp and left, Li Qingshu became a little anxious.

If the barbarians invade Dahe Province, not only Li Qingshu will be questioned, but even the supervisors and several generals may not be able to escape.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Dahe Province's reinforcements could not stay still in the camp and had to break out of camp.

At this time, under Li Qingshu's plea, Fang Xiaoyue had no choice but to lead the county soldiers to rush towards the passage between Dahe Province and Qiongshui County.

Dahe Province and Qiongshui County are blocked by a mountain range, with only a valley connecting them.

If we can arrive at the valley before the barbarian cavalry and seize it, Dahe Province will be able to get a chance to breathe and avoid being swarmed by the barbarian cavalry and turning it into a war-torn place.

It can be said that the marching speed of Tongdas Khan's tribe is not slow. Although after the disastrous defeat, the overall cavalry cannot reach the level of one man and two horses, but together it can at least make more than 500 cavalry have the level of one man and two horses.

At this time, these more than 500 barbarian cavalry had separated from the large army and were heading towards the valley at high speed.

And according to Fang Xiaoyue's judgment, the more than 500 cavalry should be elite cavalry.

At this time, Fang Xiaoyue could only hurry up and lead the people to catch up.

During this period, due to the obstruction of the cavalry squad specially sent by Tongdas Khan, Fang Xiaoyue and his party were delayed a lot of time. Therefore, by the time they arrived at the valley, more than 500 elite barbarian cavalry had already occupied the valley.

In other words, if Fang Xiaoyue did not want Tongdas Khan's tribe to rush into Dahe Province, then he could only take the initiative to attack the barbarian cavalry who had a geographical advantage.

But here comes the problem. Those elite barbarian cavalry have been scattered on the mountains on both sides of the valley. If the county soldiers want to attack from above, they can only withstand the rain of arrows from the cavalry from above.

After all, even if the county soldiers were armed with infantry bows, it would be very difficult to shoot those barbarian cavalry from below.

But with Fang Xiaoyue here, it would be too easy to deal with these more than 500 elite cavalry.

Only more than a hundred county soldiers were sent, each with an invisibility charm, quietly went up the mountain, and killed all the elite cavalry.

If there were priests among these elite cavalry, they might be able to see through the invisibility talisman, but the only priest was currently guarding Tongdas Khan and was not here at all.

After a sudden one-sided massacre, Fang Xiaoyue led the county soldiers to occupy the valley.

They worked tirelessly to set up a large number of obstacles with stones and wood in the valley.

In this case, even with all the cavalry of Tongdas Khan's tribe, it would be impossible for them to cross the valley in a short time.

Moreover, Fang Xiaoyue also placed flame talismans at regular intervals in the valley.

This flame talisman cannot explode like a petrol bomb, let alone turn the valley into a sea of ​​flames.

But it can ignite the wood, scare the horses, and make the cavalry pass slower.
