But precisely because of this, the chief was even more afraid that Jinluhan would grab his sore foot, kill him, and annex his tribe.
It was precisely this fear that made the chief spend another week with Fang Xiaoyue.
Of course, during this week, the cavalry he sent out to hunt down Fang Xiaoyue all turned into herdsmen cavalry from other tribes.
Not a single cavalry member from his own tribe was sent.
This undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction with the other tribal cavalry in the camp.
Why should our tribe be allowed to do errands that involve death, but not errands that are safe in the camp?
In fact, during this week, fights frequently occurred in the barbarian cavalry camp. Although the chief sent people to stop it in time and no lives were lost, the law enforcement cavalry he sent out were all people from his own tribe, so they were dealing with these incidents.
When things go wrong, you will naturally favor your own people.
Under such circumstances, the hostility in the camp became increasingly severe.
Finally, just when Xue Pingshan and other three thousand infantrymen slowly arrived and met Fang Xiaoyue, a large-scale internal strife broke out in the barbarian cavalry camp.
More than two thousand cavalry from other tribes took advantage of the darkness to besiege the Chinese army's tent, launching a rebellion in an attempt to seize control of the camp.
At that time, the tribal chief had only about 8,700 cavalry, and the number of cavalry outside his tribe was 8,000. After all, the barbarian chief had no such humanity.
That decision was a miscalculation. After all, the cavalry was sent out. Although the troops were far more powerful than the chasing infantry, it would be very difficult for the infantry to be overwhelmed by the cavalry if they were careless. Moreover, if the infantry wanted to chase down the cavalry, it would be very difficult.
Very difficult.
On average, a rifle archer will exhaust his arm strength by shooting 8-12 times, requiring a long period of rest to recover.
The remaining 700 barbarian cavalrymen dared to continue charging towards the 1,000 infantrymen even though they had taken advantage of them.
Under such circumstances, Kumu County became a production base for crossbows specially designed for the frontier army.
To put it bluntly, the Fang Xiaoyue tribe does not have a dedicated grain and grass officer.
Therefore, when the infantry went out of the city, they were equipped with a relatively small number of crossbows.
Although the chief dispatched troops to suppress it in time, by the time it got dark, the camp was in a mess.
But that time, because the distance was too close, the crossbow arrows were almost flat. The barbarian cavalry rushing at the rear was like breaking into a hornet's nest, being riddled with holes by the dense crossbow arrows.
But if you think about leading people to take action yourself, it will inevitably cause the two sides who are fighting fiercely to turn their guns to stop you.
Moreover, Zhang Yuanming's troops arrived and he also needed to respond.
But the total number of those barbarian cavalry was only a thousand, and the subsequent crossbows killed nearly eight hundred.
On the other hand, a crossbowman can shoot less than 30 times on average, and he only needs to rest for half an hour before he can shoot less than ten times again.
But what frightened the barbarian chiefs the most happened. When the small barbarian army advanced to Qiwai Road, the Kuxi Wanman City Gate, which had not been opened for a long time, opened.
The barbarian chief was very angry at the bad Tao soldiers who were throwing them away like shit plaster.
There is no doubt that it was not an overwhelming movement.
The enemy hasn't been defeated yet. Should we pursue him at this time? Should we wait until the enemy regroups?
Of course, even so, the thousand infantrymen who came out from the Via Dolorosa did not return to the city, but pursued the barbarian cavalry in the direction in which they fled.
The two thousand surrendered troops, including the seven hundred rebel cavalry, were all injured, but at least seventy immortal water talismans could not save them all.
But outside Kuxi Wanman's warehouse, there were a small number of crossbows that were not available in Qiongshui County.
In this way, Xue Pingshan took out a stack of talismans and gave them to Jin Luhan, asking Jinlu Khan to lead the Taoist soldiers to treat the injured barbarians while he chased the main force of the barbarian cavalry.
A thousand infantrymen rushed out through the city gate, chasing the retreating barbarian cavalry.
He must have brought all the food, grass, cattle and sheep he had brought, and other tribes would give him alms.
The corpses of humans and horses can be seen everywhere.
Whether it was the remnants of the Baishan Provincial reinforcements or the soldiers of the Northwest Army stationed outside Aieren on the Way of the Cross, there were only 1,200 people in total.
When the reinforcements from Baishan Province were fleeing, a small number of archers were left behind and were swallowed up by the barbarian pursuers.
It does not mean that after such an internal conflict, the number of troops that the barbarian chief could mobilize suddenly dropped from 1,700 to 8,400 cavalry.
The archers of Ai Ren on the Way of the Cross were wasted outside the battle to defend the city.
The crossbow is even worse than a deloaded firearm. Although it only has one shot, it needs to be reloaded before firing.
Before encountering the infantry, these barbarian cavalry discovered that there were no two thousand crossbowmen besides the one thousand infantry.
And before the crossbow arrows were fired, we quickly pressed the rear end of the crossbow to the ground, stepped hard on the lower string with our left leg, loaded the crossbow arrows before, and waited for the order to retreat for the next wave of attacks.
When I advanced, I took down these 1,700 wounded soldiers and 700 rebel cavalry.
And when we rushed to less than 80 meters away from the infantry square, the crossbowmen seemed to have misfired their crossbow arrows. Following an order, they immediately fired eight more waves of crossbow arrows.
And the accuracy of the crossbow is even lower at long distances!
You must know that crossbows and bows are the same long-range shooting weapons.
Although Zhang Yuanming's troops are all infantry and their strength is far inferior to those of the Taoist soldiers at his disposal, the effect of ambushing us at the main road from Kumu County to the provincial capital is still very small.
The so-called dead wood is not a tree that is dry in the true sense, but a tree with a trunk that is as bad as a dead wood.
That swamp is sandwiched between two mountains. It would be impossible for Ozawa's army to pass through. It has to pass through the mountain road, but the barbarian cavalry can. Even if we lead the horses down the mountain, we have to lose very little baggage.
The barbarian chief who first received the scout's report immediately dispatched a thousand cavalry to deal with the Ozawa people who came out of the city.
At the same time, the last eight rows of infantrymen holding spears quickly squatted down and placed the ends of their spears on the ground. The spears were tilted backwards, and in an instant, layers of spear formations were erected behind the infantry square formation.
Although the firing speed of the step crossbow is slightly faster than that of the stepping bow, its firing range is further than that of the stepping bow, with the longest range being as low as two hundred meters.
In addition to that process, we suffered another wave of crossbow fire.
Of course, those talismans are also special goods, they are low-level fairy water talismans.
Not to mention the pursuit of a thousand infantrymen, Xue Pingshan led the Taoist soldiers to fight with the main force of the barbarian cavalry.
To be honest, when he saw the internal strife in the barbarian cavalry camp, Xue Pingshan wanted to lead his men to a charge.
This Qiongshui County already lacks a large population. After the battle, I am afraid that the harvest of horses, cattle and sheep will not be many. Even if those surrendered soldiers are brought back to Qiongshui County to herd cattle and horses, it will be bad.
When Jin Luhan said that, Xue Pingshan nodded.
[Search "Spring Gift" on Xiaoxiang APP and new users will receive 500 book coins, and old users will receive 200 book coins] One night's hard work is enough for the infantry to rush to the ambush site and take some rest.
The two thousand or so crossbowmen were divided into eight waves, the rear and the front, and fired the crossbow arrows that had been loaded for a long time.
And just to take care of the wounded and guard the rebel cavalry, manpower is also needed.
As long as you light up the fairy water talisman and dissolve it into the water, before you drink it, you can snatch it back from the hands of the Lord of Hell, not to mention any special injuries or broken bones, even if your life is on the line.
In fact, before the last eight waves of crossbow arrows were fired, these barbarian cavalry were severely damaged by the densely falling crossbow arrows.
At the same time, Xue Pingshan also took advantage of the night to personally retreat to Kuxi Wanman. With his official seal, he gained a lot of trust from the soldiers and civilians in the city and arranged relevant matters.
During the entire civil strife, some 2,300 barbarian cavalrymen died and 400 more were seriously injured. Seven hundred rebel cavalrymen were captured and temporarily held aside to wait for the chief's disposal.
That is not surprising, Kuxi Wanman is the county with the least forests in the entire Green Plains Province.
After all, no matter how fiercely we fight, we are still members of the same race, and we are our enemies.
The remaining 800 or so barbarian cavalry fled in panic before firing a wave of arrows.
Of course, if you think about it, that's strange.
Of course, the step crossbow is not weaker than the step bow. This is not because the step crossbow consumes leg strength, but the step bow consumes arm strength.
Damn it, in reality, whether it is the remnants of the Hakusan Province reinforcements or the soldiers of Kumu County, there are not that many crossbowmen, because outside the Ozawa army, the number of archers far exceeds the number of crossbowmen.
At that time, the tribal chief became cruel and threw all the 1,700 wounded and 700 rebel cavalry on the way to escape, using them as bait in an attempt to attract Xue Pingshan's attention and give him
Escape on your own to buy time.
Of course, even so, the number of barbarian cavalry who rushed under the spear formation and killed themselves was more than a hundred.
The sound of fighting resounded over the camp.
Previously, the barbarian cavalry had fled quickly, never giving these crossbowmen a chance.
But as soon as these one thousand cavalrymen left the main force, they were flanked by Xue Pingshan and his Taoist soldiers, and nearly two hundred cavalrymen were lost piecemeal along the way.
Indeed, as long as the loyalty of those people can be guaranteed, two thousand young cavalry can play a great role.
Such an approach would have been condemned by Ozawa Kuni from all quarters.
Facing the roaring Taoist soldiers, these injured barbarians and rebel cavalry actually did something unexpected.
If no one came to attack the city before the small army was dispatched, there would be no way Ai Ren could successfully defend the city.
The too slow barbarian cavalry didn't even have a chance to slow down their horses. They rushed into the spear formation and were penetrated by several spears.
In this case, Ozawa's infantry can only be attacked and slaughtered by the opponent.
Human beings are not grass and trees, how can they have feelings?
Therefore, when the small army was dispatched, only two hundred soldiers were left in Kuxiwanman to be responsible for public security together with the government officials.
The Taoist soldiers rushed over and missed a wave of arrows, killing ten barbarian cavalry, which doubtfully cast a shadow on the barbarian cavalry's advance.
Although that kind of thing is common outside the Fang Xiaoyue tribe, as the abandoned party, these barbarian wounded soldiers and the rebel cavalry are still very happy.
In this way, the barbarian chief could no longer hold on and immediately ordered the withdrawal of his troops.
After all, Ozawa governs the country with etiquette, benevolence, justice, filial piety, etc. This kind of thing is beyond the upper limit of abnormal people.
Zhang Yuanming's eight thousand infantrymen were lying in ambush in a high-lying swamp leading to the provincial capital.
And the talisman water transformed into a fairy water talisman is enough to heal a hundred people.
Moreover, Tijinluhan and his Taoist soldiers were going to boil water to transform the talisman to treat the wounded soldiers. When Xue Pingshan was waiting for me to chase down the main force of the barbarian cavalry, the other party had not yet been ambushed.
Xue Pingshan originally planned to take those guys in, but Jin Luhan persuaded me.
In addition to previous battles, those barbarian cavalry could not rely on their numerical superiority to continuously attack, break down the spear formation, and rush into the infantry square formation.
It's just that our formation at this time is not yet a formation, it is extremely loose, and a crossbow arrow can kill about eighty cavalrymen.
Therefore, if there is no enemy to retreat, the camp can only send at least 8,700 troops.
At dawn, when the barbarian chief led his troops to withdraw, Lu Airen led his Taoist soldiers to bite him.
Because of its rapid growth and soft wood, that kind of tree is the worst material for making crossbows.
After all, outside the Lu Airen clan, things like sons marrying their father's wives, sons killing their fathers, etc. are commonplace, not to mention just a few wounded soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, about 800 barbarian cavalry were shot and killed.
Although later due to the invasion of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe, a batch of crossbows were quickly transported to the provincial capital, but there was still no batch of crossbows outside Kuxi Wanman's warehouse, and during the period when the city was under siege, the soldiers and civilians in the city were also
Working overtime making crossbow arrows.
Putting the enemy 170 meters away before shooting is just to achieve a smaller killing effect.
Any general who has fought several battles will know how to make that choice.
However, those wounded soldiers and rebel cavalry slightly affected the retreat speed of the small barbarian army.
This undoubtedly slowed down the retreat speed of the main force of the barbarian cavalry to a very small extent.
After all, if the troops are definitely withdrawing again, once the Ozawa people see through the reality in the cavalry camp, the consequences may be disastrous.
But what the barbarian chief never expected was that the two paper cranes hovering in the sky under the camp completely betrayed the reality of the camp.
As mentioned later, except for the elite cavalry directly under the Mujun City, the rest are temporarily summoned from various tribes. Those herdsmen cavalry, Mujun City is in charge of food, and they all bring their own dry food.
, the cattle and sheep set out for battle.
At most 280 barbarian cavalry were shot dead.
If so, you have to rob it yourself, if not, you will starve to death.
After escaping from the camp in Wanmanli, Kuxi, we had not lost much of our luggage. If we lose all our luggage now, we will starve to death.
We all surrendered.
Of course, the disadvantage of Lu Airen's troops arriving was not that the available troops under Xue Pingshan increased by two hundred times.
But when these thousand barbarian cavalry rushed to a distance of 170 meters, we suffered a serious blow.
But in a place like the Fang Xiaoyue clan, it is quite abnormal.
In addition, Lu Airen led the Taoist soldiers to bite the small barbarian army from behind, front, right and left, making the barbarian chief even more victorious.
So we simply voted for Xue Pingshan.
And the forest outside is dominated by dead trees.
