Tuya never dreamed that the solid walls of Garhai City would be breached by the enemy in less than three hours. She didn’t know what means the enemy used to destroy the huge stone walls in an instant.
, it was even impossible to tell whether the thing that destroyed the city was a weapon or some kind of magic. But now, with no danger to defend, she could only order the herdsmen to retreat to the inner city quickly.
The naked warriors of the Onma tribe took the lead in rushing to the gap in the city wall. The war horses were of little use here. They jumped off their horses one after another and poured into the city brandishing their sabers.
"There are still women and children who haven't had time to retreat to the inner city!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly. Tuya followed the voice and saw that under the broken high wall in the city, there were more than a hundred women holding their children, bewildered at the enemy's forces.
In the open space between the entrance to the inner city, people were crying and running away. Faced with the fierce warriors of the Onma tribe who entered the city and the defeated and retreating defenders of the Muyun tribe, many women could only squat on the spot holding their flesh and bones. More
Some children who had lost their mother were frightened and started crying. The scene was extremely chaotic.
"Hurry up and follow me to save people!"
Tuya knew that these women and children must have been unable to give up the belongings they had brought into the city, so they were left behind when they followed Wu Ren out of the city through the secret passage. She suddenly regretted that her estimate of the war situation was too optimistic and she could not continue.
Earlier, he ordered the tribesmen to take refuge in Lancang Mountain.
But it was too late to say anything now. The girl reached out and took off the dark brown horn bow from her back, and pulled the waxed bowstring with her hand - hunting was once her favorite thing with her father.
Things we did together. Although Tuya has never touched the bow that her father made for her since Tieqin passed away, the skill of it deep in her memory is comparable to that of any outstanding warrior on the grassland.
The skill of archery has never been forgotten.
After raising her arms and shouting, the girl bent her bow and nocked an arrow, and took the lead to rush towards the city. When the men of the Muyun Department around her, who were already in chaos, saw this, they also cheered up again and turned their swords, guns and bows.
He risked his life and launched a counterattack against the enemy. The two groups of people collided violently in front of the gap, and their swords and swords clashed, causing blood to fly.
Fortunately, although the gap was wide, it could only accommodate seven or eight men fighting side by side. The defenders were so jealous that even though many men were stabbed several times, they still waved their weapons vigorously and refused to retreat even half a step.
Successfully blocked the rapid offensive of the Onma Division. The encounter between the two sides quickly turned into a war of attrition. The warriors in the front row were just cut down, and several people behind immediately stepped on them. Corpses and severed limbs gradually appeared in front of the gap.
A hill of human flesh has been piled up, and the frozen hard soil is soaked with blood. A stream of red liquid will rise up when you step on it, making you unsteady.
Tuya led more than a hundred archers and fired arrows into the chests of the enemies in the city one after another. However, the Onma warriors who were as fierce as wild beasts still poured in in an endless stream. As time went by, the enemy army finally
They still captured the commanding heights of Corpse Mountain, and completely broke the fragile balance between the two forces. After killing all the herdsmen who were desperately resisting in the gap, thousands of enemy troops quickly occupied an open space under the city wall, and it was difficult to drive them away.
Gotta get out.
An Onma warrior with ferocious war patterns painted on his face with red and white paint waved the saber in his hand and rushed straight in front of Tuya, forcing the girl to move her weak and weak hands towards Tuya again.
She reached behind and found nothing. Only then did she realize that there was no arrow left in the arrow pot on her back!
Tuya felt that her mind went blank, but her feet were suddenly caught by a corpse, and she fell backwards and sat down. But at the moment when the sword in the hands of the warriors on the opposite side was slashed in the air, a Muyun defender suddenly
He came out from the diagonal stab and cut off the opponent's head with a swing of his sword. He was immediately chopped down to the ground by another Onma warrior who rushed forward.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The girl could even clearly see the blood dripping from the wound, and she could also clearly see the bloodshot eyes and pain in the eyes of the deceased before death. She only felt that she
Every breath he took became extremely difficult, as if everything around him was being swallowed up and soaked by death and blood, and there was no way to escape.
The morale of Muyun's garrison was getting lower and lower, and finally there was a big rout, and they were unable to organize an effective defense. Tuya, who was almost exhausted, sat paralyzed in a pool of blood, knowing that she might not be able to escape this disaster. She struggled
He turned around and saw from a distance that more than a hundred women and children had successfully escaped into the inner city, but there was a smile on their faces.
The girl's hand on the ground was already covered in blood, and her fingertips vaguely touched something hard. She realized that it might be a sharp blade that had lost its owner, and immediately took it into her hand again. Then she struggled hard
He stood up straight, raised his sword to his eyebrows, and went against the retreating direction of the defenders, rushing towards the hundreds of enemies who were charging into the city alone!
However, it was impossible for the thin and frail girl to defeat the strong Shuodi warrior. After only one confrontation, the knife in Tuya's hand was knocked out. But she didn't even have the strength to pick up the weapon again.
He had no choice but to cross his arms in front of him, trying hard to support his already shaky body, and trying not to lose the last bit of dignity of the Bakwuqin family.
The sword in the hand of the Onma warrior opposite did not continue to cut off the girl's arms, nor did it cut into her body, severing the flesh and tendons. I could only hear the sound of blows coming from the Muhe formation outside the city for some unknown reason.
Three horns sounded to order the troops to withdraw. The sound sounded very urgent, as if something terrible had happened and all the troops on the front line needed to be mobilized to rush for reinforcements.
The thousands of Onma warriors who had just invaded the city of Garhai all withdrew in the blink of an eye. Even if there were still some who hesitated for a moment, they were quickly pulled away by their comrades passing by on the left and right.
Tuya, who was lucky enough to escape with her life, couldn't believe what she saw. She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She looked at the herdsmen beside her who also saved their lives from the gate of hell.
Suddenly he seemed to realize something, and he climbed up the mountain of corpses in front of him on his hands and knees, which was already piled as high as one person——
The enemy troops outside the city, like the sea water at low tide, quickly retreated towards the camp, and everyone's face showed extreme confusion and fear. However, on the other side of the almost invisible sea of people,
The warriors of the Choluo tribe who were in charge of the rear of the palace, however, abandoned their helmets and armor, were defeated, and retreated towards the wall of Garhai.
This strange scene made the Onma warriors who had just withdrawn from the city become even more nervous. They turned the weapons in their hands and set up a temporary defense line in place. Tuya stood at the highest point of the mountain of corpses. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw a huge army with tens of thousands of horses emerging from the distant horizon. At the moment, that army was moving forward step by step, quickly encroaching on the large formation of the coalition forces under Mu He's command.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and Tuya clearly saw that what was erected in the opponent's formation was a standard flag for raising the dynasty. And what was painted on the flag was a pair of symmetrical horse heads that she was very familiar with. pattern!
Tears burst out of the girl's eyes instantly, and she finally understood where the old general Yuan Ti, who arranged for Yan to leave the camp in a hurry, had gone - it turned out that the reinforcements were not her imagination, nor were they used to comfort the tribe. It’s just an empty talk, but it’s actually a Saxueqi from Yubei, my mother’s hometown!
Yubei guarded the northern border of Dasheng Dynasty all year round. Due to the Shuodi Rebellion more than a hundred years ago, Yubei Gong Zuoqiu Qixian, who returned from the defeat, made up his mind to abandon the infantry phalanx that had been used for thousands of years and began to learn from the Di people. The art of horse fighting.
Just having learned the lesson from Tie Zhongshan's defeat in front of Queyue Formation, Zuoqiu Qixian completely abandoned heavy armor and heavy cavalry, and instead pursued the long-range riding shooting and spear thrusting of light-armored fast horses. With his full support, Saxue Cavalry In just thirty years, it quickly formed an army and gradually expanded into a huge cavalry army of 50,000 people.
Yubei spared no expense in selecting the strongest pure white Shuobei horses and carefully raising them. They then dried the white rhinoceros skin and made armor pieces, which were worn on the vital parts of the horse's body and the rider's body. This set of leather armor is both It is light and tough, and it is difficult for ordinary arrows to penetrate it. Driven by the powerful Shuobei horse, it gallops at full speed, and is more than twice as fast as an ordinary cavalry!
Due to its astonishing speed, Zuoqiu Qixian specially named this cavalry Saxue, which he devoted all his efforts to build, like a wind and snow sweeping through the world. Now, a hundred years later, although the name of Saxue Cavalry is not as good as that of Tiezhongshan back then. So loud, but it has already become a terrifying force that cannot be underestimated on the Shuobei grassland!
At the moment, Saxue is riding on the grassland, and each horse looks almost the same height. The snow-white leather armor of the horses and knights looks like pearls on the cloud-shrouded Gobi. The spotless white color is particularly eye-catching. , it further demonstrates the close kinship relationship between the monarch of Yubei and the emperor of Dashengchao.
Mu He, who hurriedly withdrew from the camp, could already see Yubei's handsome flag in the distance. He stared angrily, and the beard on his face stood up:
"The archers stepped forward and fired a volley, leaving these Yubei bastards who specialize in sneak attacks with no return!"
However, in the military formation behind him, only a few people carried out the order. Although the Muhe coalition army was large in number, its momentum had already been weakened by half in the face of the neat military appearance of Saxue Cavalry. In the panic, many Onma warriors He also collided with the fleeing Choluo soldiers, and then joined the fleeing army, losing all fighting spirit.
Mu He in the formation ordered his men to continue blowing the trumpet and begging for help immediately, and at the same time he roared angrily: "No retreat! Anyone who retreats in front of the battle will be killed without mercy!"
But the defeat has been revealed. Even many high-ranking generals in the army originally used to besiege the city are ready to take action. Even if the deserters are to be killed, who should do it? Even if someone does it, how can they kill the tens of thousands of people who fled the battle? Kill them all?
However, the Northern Army behind them did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them. Suddenly, a passage opened in front of their formation, and an old man with white hair and beard rode a horse forward from the commander's banner and loudly persuaded them to surrender.
It was Yuan Ti himself.
When Mu He saw this, he became furious, pointed at the other person's nose and cursed loudly:
"Old Yuan Ti, you are from Yubei, why do you keep meddling in things on the grassland? In all the years you have been in Yanluoyuan, our Muyun Department has never treated you badly. Today, you actually lured elite southerners into the country without announcing it.
Fighting, this move is so different from that of a villain!"
"The people who are kind to me are the Bakwuqin family, my predecessors Tieqinhan and Mrs. Kezun, not you Muhe. Princess Tuya has the blood of half of the Yubei people. Today is not only difficult for her, but also for the same people.
I am the enemy in the north! Our military strength is now several times that of yours. If we put down our weapons, we can forget about it and spare your lives. But if we refuse to repent, we will only die!"
The old general waved his hand as he spoke, and immediately heard the Saxue Cavalry behind him shouting in unison. They all raised their spears and were ready to charge again.
Seeing this situation, many warriors in Shuodi's formation who had finally regrouped completely dropped their sabers and long bows and scattered away. Mu He's expression changed, but it was too late to stop him:
"Don't listen to his nonsense. The northern army and horses in front of us are clearly less than half of our troops! The opponent is just one head and two hands. As long as we press forward with all our strength, we will never be defeated!"
Yuan Ti didn't want to give him any chance to deal with him anymore, so he continued to persuade him to surrender loudly:
"This time, the Chuoluo and Onma tribes mobilized in full force, with a total of 73,716 people. At present, more than 30,000 Chuoluo troops have been defeated by us, and their leader Meng Dun has also surrendered. If
The Onma Department still refuses to surrender, and Sa Xueqi will not mind stopping by the pasture of Shijinghai for a few days. If any of you are confident that you can outrun Yubei's war horses, you can give it a try!"
Although the old general's beard and hair were all white, he spoke with a strong voice. His voice spread quickly in the wilderness, floated to the sky above Garhai City, and also floated into all the people who were still standing under the banners of Leopard Head and Canglang.
Warrior Shuodi heard about it. Under his instruction, someone in the Saxue Cavalry even brought Meng Dun, who had turned his back on the battlefield, to the front of the battle!
No one expected that in just a few days, Yuan Ti would have a clear grasp of all the movements of the Muhe coalition. His threats also completely destroyed the last vestiges of morale of the grassland people. They originally rallied following the sound of the horn.
The completed Onma tribe warriors immediately fell into greater chaos.
The vast army of tens of thousands quickly broke away from the main force and refused to listen to Mu He's orders anymore. In other words, the Onma warriors, who were the main force, decided not to use eggs against stones and to use their parents and relatives as bets.
Declare war with Yubei's army. Even their leader Qihexu no longer stands in front of the formation, but personally leads his warriors into several columns and retreats towards the outside of the battlefield.
In just one stick of incense, the tens of thousands of coalition troops have been reduced by nearly 70%. On the battlefield today, there are only more than ten thousand die-hards standing under the Canglang banner, still holding the weapons in their hands, planning to fight with the leader
advance and retreat.
Mu He never expected that this battle that he had carefully planned for many years would end in such an ironic way. He sighed hard, but became even more angry, regardless of
With a slap on his shoulder, he pulled out the saber hanging on his waist:
"Blood feud is irreconcilable! Either you die today or I die!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw him clamping his legs together, riding his horse and rushing straight towards the Saxue Cavalry Formation. The remaining thousands of loyal guards behind him, holding high the Wolf Flag, also followed closely behind the old man and killed him.
past.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. For the first time in several days, the sun shined through the gaps in the clouds and shone on the Gobi desert at the foot of Lancang Mountain. It also illuminated the snow-white armor on Sa Xueqiu's body. It was like golden dust.
In the sunlight pouring down like a sky, Saxueqi, who looked like a heavenly soldier descending from the earth, also followed Yuan Ti and launched the final charge.
It was like a holy spring water pouring onto the battlefield. The superior force several times that of the opponent immediately surrounded Mu He and all the warriors under his command. The swords and soldiers clashed, shouting to kill the sky!
