After the Baishan Provincial reinforcements eliminated the 3,000 infantrymen stationed in the Tietou Valley, the remaining army only had 21,000 troops, including 20,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry.
Such a force would be very difficult even against the 30,000 cavalrymen before Jinlu Khan.
As a result, the two armies fought. The Northwest Army stationed in the provincial capital got the news and went out for rescue. The thousand cavalry at the outpost had just left the city less than 5 kilometers away when they received the news that the reinforcements of Baishan Province had been beaten and collapsed.
If the Northwest Army had not sent troops to attack the barbarians' grain and grass camps, causing the Xiwan barbarians to return to rescue them, the Baishan Province reinforcements would have been completely destroyed.
Of course, even so, the Baishan Province reinforcements suffered heavy losses this time, with only more than 5,000 people surviving.
Almost all the generals in the army were lost.
Among them, the commander of the reinforcements, Zhu Wei, and the commander Sun Pingkou were killed in the battle, the supervisor army was killed in the battle, and seventeen of his generals were killed in the battle. Only two Qian commanders and the Taoist officials equipped with them fled the battlefield.
Moreover, these more than 5,000 remnants of the army could only hide in Kumu County.
Although Kumu County is more than 80 kilometers away from the provincial capital, Jinlu Khan still sent 10,000 barbarian cavalry to keep a close eye on it.
Among them, not eight counties and cities could hold out. Before the city was broken, the barbarian cavalry burned and killed them for several days, almost wiping out the population.
This kind of shooting is suitable for dealing with large groups of enemies, or when one's own troops are weaker than the opponent's, etc.
Both the barbarian cavalry stationed nearby and the soldiers under the city wall saw that scene.
A perfect level of Sky-shattering Blade Technique like Jin Luhan's must be a weak one in the Taoist sect to be able to deal with it.
Before practicing, it can not only increase the power of the Sky-shattering Sword Technique, but also slightly improve the defense of the Taoist soldiers.
The running shooting of the barbarian cavalry is considered to be very weak, but we rarely just shoot a wave before approaching the enemy, then circle around and continue to shoot close to the enemy.
Affected by Jin Luhan's sword, the remaining Dao soldiers also fired blue sword lights one after another. Although the blue sword light we fired was not as powerful as Jin Luhan's sword in terms of range and lethality,
But it also caused the cavalry within ten meters to fall to the ground.
Zhongcheng's Sky-shattering Sword Technique is also extremely low-handed.
The barbarian scout cavalry we encountered along the way turned around and ran towards the provincial capital, and we killed them all.
These barbarian cavalry are determined and willing to attack the city and consume it.
Before you get far away from the enemy, stop shooting arrows. Before the enemy gets close, keep the distance away and shoot arrows. If you are sure that the enemy is there, chase him and continue shooting arrows.
In short, control the distance between you and the enemy within a certain range, so that the enemy can see you, but you can only eat it.
In front of the chasing barbarian cavalry, we could only see the Ozawa people behind them turning around and drawing their bows and drawing arrows. We then used various horse-control skills to avoid the possible arrows. Kumu County could barely hold on.
However, the Kuangfeng Battalion of the Northwest Army stationed in Kumu County suffered heavy losses. Only about a thousand soldiers and horses were left out of 8,000. It must have been the news that eight counties and cities were massacred later, and the county guards mobilized the entire city.
If the people had defended the city together, Kumu County would have been destroyed long ago.
Before those arrangements were made, Zhang Yuanming took the Taoist soldiers one step ahead and headed towards Kumu County.
Therefore, a long time ago, the two sides collided fiercely.
As for the other Dao soldiers, they are all at a small level, and few are close to the perfect level.
But what shocked the barbarian cavalry was that after the two sides came into contact, the ten enemies on the opposite side pulled out their long swords and stabbed them fiercely.
Although the 7,000 young remnants of the army have not been beaten to their morale, they are still cannon fodder for the purpose of defending the city.
Of course, such cavalry and shooting tactics have very low requirements on the cavalry's shooting skills, horse control skills and even perseverance.
After seeing Kumu County, it was difficult to retreat.
Take the Sky-shattering Sword Technique as an example. Originally, it was only possible to produce sword light and retreat area-of-effect damage after cultivating it to a perfect level.
Those Tao soldiers need less battles to temper themselves. In that case, we can more quickly cultivate the Sky-shattering Sword Technique to a perfect level.
In reality, even if you are a member of the Taoist sect, it will be difficult for you to win against a Taoist soldier who has mastered the Sky-shattering Sword Technique.
At this time, Jin Luhan had not yet cultivated the Sky-shattering Sword Technique to a perfect level.
Of course, there is no shortcoming in Taoist martial arts. It’s not that the overall level is low.
There were only less than 400 barbarian cavalry out of the camp. Before they were divided into two groups, one cavalry group only had 700 less cavalry.
In short, if one attack and one defense are practiced to perfection, the Dao soldiers under Zhang Yuanming's command will be considered barely successful.
Of course, to put it bluntly, it was still the horse-control skills of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe's cavalry, and their shooting skills were low enough.
That's not surprising. There are tens of thousands of cavalry outside this barbarian cavalry camp. Our duty is not to monitor the movements of enemies in that direction and to eliminate any approaching enemies.
Even if Mujun City recruits reinforcements, it is possible that it is willing to spend 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry in such a county city.
It has to be said that although Luyuan Province is located on the border and is extremely barren, the counties and cities are relatively well built.
The thoughts of the barbarian cavalry are bad, but the reality is cruel.
And Dao Bing has that problem.
Seeing that this cavalry team suffered heavy losses, another cavalry team that was outflanking the direction immediately turned around.
Of course, there was very little news outside that the barbarian scouts and cavalry knew. After Zhang Yuanming and Li Qingshu separated, they got the news from multiple officials. After analyzing the information together, the following results were naturally obtained.
At the beginning, the Taoist soldiers ran all the way. Before they could get away from each other, they took the rifle bows hanging under the saddles, turned around and shot forward.
It must have been the death of the two deputy Khans Yinbulukhan and Tongdas Khan in battle, which caused Mujuncheng to become furious and cautious, and withdrew the cavalry that besieged the counties and cities in various places. I am afraid the outcome will be the same again.
It was simply beyond our imagination that ten people could take out hundreds of cavalry so quickly.
Therefore, before the hundred-man barbarian cavalry could rush over, they stopped moving forward.
The strength of those Tao soldiers is growing almost every day.
It seems that the provincial capital is still dangerous for the time being.
But during the battle, the smaller the number of Taoist soldiers, the smaller the power and damage of the Sky-shattering Sword Technique.
It’s just that Zhang Yuanming had already made no arrangements for this.
That battle started slowly.
Whether these Taoist soldiers still have any remaining strength at this time, they can defeat and wipe out the seventh cavalry team.
That's not surprising. After all, the Shocking Sword Technique can only be regarded as a relatively advanced Taoist training technique.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yuanming asked Xue Pingshan who was following him to go to Kumu County through the talisman. He also contacted Li Qingshu's department. Before the two parties communicated, they decided to meet up at Kuxi Wanman City first and make decisions according to the changes in the battle situation.
Decide.
There is no doubt that the Taoist soldiers' achievements have not completely angered these barbarian cavalry.
Seeing that scene, the Taoist soldiers headed by He Wenlan were very angry.
The cavalry from both sides clashed. By the time the Taoist soldiers penetrated the barbarian cavalry group and turned the horses back to prepare for the seventh charge, only half of the barbarian cavalry remained.
Of course, the main reason why the He Wenlan people use the walking bow is that the walking bow is smaller and heavier than the riding bow. It is easier and more convenient to use on horseback. It also affects the effect of running and shooting.
Among them, Jin Luhan had not yet reached the perfect level of cultivation in the Sky-shattering Sword Technique. When the sword was thrown out, a layer of blue light suddenly emerged from under the long sword. The blue sword light that he had previously turned into blue light came out, and in the blink of an eye, he took off the sword.
All the cavalrymen within 80 meters in the rear sector were killed.
In the following wars, all the counties and cities in Luyuan Province were ravaged by barbarian cavalry.
However, no matter how high or low the level of the Taoist soldiers' cultivation techniques are, they all have the same characteristics. This is not true in battle. The fewer the number of Taoist soldiers participating in the retreat, the less powerful the Taoist soldiers' techniques will be!
But in a situation like that, where the number of enemies is less than seventy times that of one's own, it is the worst combat ratio.
Because even if we escaped before, with our speed it would still be possible to transmit the information back after Zhang Yuanming.
Of course, there are not some barbarian scouts and cavalry who have escaped from the same defense line. Zhang Yuanming has no need to waste time chasing and killing those guys.
Before our Sky-shattering Sword Technique reaches medium or even small success, whether it is strength or slowness, etc., it allows us to practice archery to a very low level in a short period of time. As for horse control, it is
The combination of man and horse, with weak strength and slowness, is not a problem at all.
As long as this remnant army dares to leave the city, the roaring barbarian cavalry will crush them into scraps.
It is also Zhang Yuanming who has found a weaker iron-tied bow now. If he makes it himself, he does not have time. Otherwise, if the Taoist soldiers equip the iron-tied bow, the enemy will be even more desperate.
Under such circumstances, the Taoist soldiers must have been entangled by the seventh barbarian cavalry. When these 8,000 barbarian cavalry arrived, it would be difficult for the Taoist soldiers to suffer casualties.
Even outside the battle, these war horses were not harmed at all, which made He Wenlan nervous and harvested less than a hundred war horses.
Thanks to the configuration of one person and eight horses, He Wenlan saw the outline of Kumu County the next morning.
He keeps wearing down the enemy and eventually loses the battle.
That is also the key to Tao soldiers being able to fight against weak enemies.
As for Xiao Cheng's Sky-shattering Sword Technique, there are no such masters outside the martial arts world of Ozawa Country.
That was a riding and shooting tactic from outside Zhang Yuanming's original world.
When cutting tofu with a large knife, you also need to beat it into small pieces.
Just like Jin Luhan practiced the Shocking Sword Technique to a perfect level, Zhang Yuanming also developed the Huntian Golden Body Technique.
Even the strongest Fang Shangou, by that time, had reached the middle level of his Sky-shattering Sword Technique.
At this time, the number of Taoist soldiers present exceeded ten, so the synergistic function of the Shocking Sword Technique was activated, so that the Taoist soldiers except Jin Luhan could also use the light of their swords, and the swords fired by Jinlu Khan could also be used.
Compared to when I was alone, both the range and power were reduced by less than eight times.
To put it more complicated, before you get started with the Shocking Sword Technique, you are considered a low-level martial artist.
But Zhang Yuanming had not seen a small group of cavalry coming out of the barbarian cavalry camp, the number of which was at most less than 8,000.
Of course, even though they were shocked by the enemy's weakness, a small group of cavalry rushed out of the barbarian cavalry camp very slowly. Before leaving the camp, they divided into two groups, right and left, and surrounded Zhang Yuanming and his party.
It was only when some Taoist soldiers were in mortal danger that He Wenlan would come to the rescue.
Although these Ozawa people look very powerful, we are still human. As long as we are human, we will get tired and get injured!
There is a method. Although the difference in numbers between the two sides is very small, the barbarian cavalry is as bad as a piece of tofu, while the Taoist soldiers are like large steel knives, which cannot easily cut the tofu into pieces.
As soon as Zhang Yuanming's side withdrew, the seventh cavalry team seemed to be excited. Perhaps they felt that the Ozawa people were afraid of them, so they rushed to chase them down one by one, while the eight thousand young barbarian cavalry were far away.
chasing ahead.
Both sides charge each other, and their speed is multiplied by 2 times.
Of course, for Kuxi Wanman City, the retreat of the remaining 7,000 troops is also a bad thing.
The Huntian Golden Body Technique is a Taoist martial art that increases strength and defense effect.
Therefore, the more than 5,000 remnants of the army had a chance to escape into the county town to avoid the barbarian cavalry.
However, even after seeing this scene of massacre, the barbarian cavalry still seemed to have ignored Zhang Yuanming and his party.
Zhang Yuanming also laughed, and immediately ordered a counterattack against the cavalry rushing towards the right.
Therefore, the remaining 7,000-strong army retreated into Kumu County, where they were welcomed by both the northwest army's Kuangfeng Camp and the small county guards.
After all, no matter how powerful the barbarian cavalry is, the consumption of both sides during the siege will be about 1:7 or 1:8.
It does not mean that there must be more than a hundred Taoist soldiers present. In addition to the fact that none of us can throw out the sword light, the distance of Jin Luhan's sword light will be less than a hundred meters at most.
By the time we arrived, the Taoist soldiers had not yet completed their seventh charge, and the cavalry team was broken into pieces, with only a few left.
What's more, what we carry is a walking bow. In terms of strength and range, the walking bow is much weaker than the riding bow.
Then Zhang Yuanming gave the order to evacuate.
We vowed to catch those Ozawa people and hang them one by one in Kumu County, making the Ozawa people outside the county tremble with fear!
Dacheng's Sky-shattering Sword Technique is also a master of the same school.
In that battle, He Wenlan did not take any action.
Take the Sky-shattering Sword Technique as an example. Before its cultivation reaches perfection, its strength is only like this, but it is possible to continue to make breakthroughs.
Before the two sides met, we were close to 7,000 cavalry. Are you still afraid of killing us?
After all, there are too many people on my side, so it is necessary to confront the enemy head-on.
From the moment the sword was drawn to the moment it was retracted, within ten seconds, all these barbarian cavalrymen were lying in a pool of blood.
Of course, there is no credit for Zhang Yuanming’s work outside.
As for the remnants of the army outside Wenlan, it was just a matter of convenience.
It's the same as those Taoist soldiers led by Zhang Yuanming.
However, if the enemy's force is strong and equipped with a small number of infantry bows, it will be difficult to use such a running and shooting tactic. If it is used with a weak force, it will cause small casualties to the cavalry.
When Zhang Yuanming saw the county town, a barbarian cavalry team of about a hundred people rushed towards us.
