This morning, there was a heavy fog under the city gate, covering the sky and covering the sky. Everyone felt as if they were in a fairyland, and also as if they were entering a ghost.
Gong Fu's heart was lifted, because in this heavy fog, the sight could not reach more than a hundred feet. With the charging speed of the cavalry, he could reach the front of the formation in just a few breaths.
If the horse bandits rush over today, the situation will not be optimistic.
Gong Fu sniffed. There was a strange smell in the air. When he inhaled it, his throat felt burning.
"No, the fog is poisonous." Luo Jiu reacted first and yelled.
"Everyone, cover your mouth and nose with cloth and don't inhale the smoke in the fog." Gong Fu immediately gave the order.
This is the Yulong Guard, and their adaptability is extremely amazing. However, the city defense army led by Xiao Zhu did not have such luck. Some people were choked by the smoke and coughed, and some bent over and vomited.
In the distance, several fires were lit, and something unknown was added to the fires, and the wind blew them here.
The faces of the horse bandits behind the fire were covered with black cloth. The baby-faced boy was riding on the horse, squinting his eyes slightly and spitting out a word.
"kill."
oh!
There was a roar like a wolf's roar, the sound of horse hooves like beating drums, and the army rushed towards them.
Gui Jianchou, as the leader of thirteen horse bandits in the border town, dispatched more than 5,000 people for this operation.
It's not that Gui Jianchou mobilized troops like this, but this time the Green Forest Road has spread, and everyone wants to grab Princess Mingyu for marriage. To a certain extent, this has become a grand event for the Green Forest Road, just like the martial arts examination in Chang'an City. Who can
Whoever steals the princess can be proud of everyone.
It's good for Guijianchou to save face. Besides, he's so close. Once you get out of Xizhao Pass, it's his territory. How can you let others take the lead?
Feather arrows shot out from the white mist, hitting the horse bandits who rushed up head-on. The fish dragon guard's reaction ability was definitely beyond Gui Jianchou's expectations.
The palace talisman in the white mist was also in a bad mood. The white mist affected his eyesight. This kind of defense was just random shooting without targets. The damage was limited, but the consumption of bows and arrows was huge.
The arrangement of the palace talisman is not inappropriate, and the reaction is not unpleasant. To a certain extent, he has done the best within his capabilities.
However, when the opponent's forces are superior, our chances of winning are slim.
The weather, the right location, the people, and one's own side are not the same. If we lose, it seems that we will lose for a good reason.
But Gong Fu doesn't want to admit defeat yet, because the word "win" is very important to a man.
Gong Fu was waiting, waiting for the thick fog to clear, and then showed the fish dragon guard's blade to the horse bandit.
"Master Hu, please break out and move troops to Xizhao Pass. Tell us that we have attracted Gui Jianchou here. As long as the soldiers come, we can kill them all."
A hunky-backed man reluctantly took back his steel knife and cursed: "Hey, I still want to kill him."
Facing the cavalry charge of the horse bandits, Gong Fu launched a counter-charge, riding on horseback.
In the war between the empire and the Rong tribe, the empire has been suppressed by the Rong tribe's cavalry. Many people in the empire racked their brains to think of ways to restrain the Rong tribe's cavalry, and some people proposed that they should train the empire's cavalry by pitting cavalry against cavalry.
However, this method is too difficult to implement. First, the empire does not have good horses. Second, the empire does not have the soil to cultivate cavalry. Riding is the blood talent of the Rong people.
But the situation is different today. Firstly, the horse bandits are not Rong people. Secondly, Yulongwei is not short of money.
They are qualified to carry out cavalry hedging.
Like two torrents colliding, the horse bandits collapsed under the charge of the Yulong Guards. This time to escort the marriage team, Emperor Ming sent ten Dragon Guards, but there were only ten of them. Each of them had similar strength to Qingye Buddha. They
Played a big role in this battle.
The horse bandit's first attack was suppressed, and the morning fog gradually dispersed in the process.
Gong Fu was not in a good mood. Although he was lucky enough to stop the first attack, he might not be able to survive until reinforcements arrived.
He whispered that Luo Jiu and several Dragon Guards had called together. If the reinforcements had not arrived by dusk, they would take Princess Mingyu away, and Gong Fu would lead the people to stop the pursuers.
Princess Mingyu stood on the tower of the abandoned city, witnessing the mess after the battle below the city. The corpses and injured soldiers did not make any waves on her face.
If it were before, she would have screamed in fright, but that was not the case now. Gradually, she has been able to understand her father's mood. No matter what situation she encounters, she will only do the right thing.
Make sacrifices when you need to sacrifice, give up when you need to give up, and don't be affected by emotions.
She took the eunuchs and maids down to the tower and bandaged the soldiers' wounds. Gong Fu looked at her with gratitude. Although she didn't say anything, her morale had been raised.
Relying on this, Gong Fu withstood two more waves of attacks, and the battle continued until the afternoon.
However, a fierce battle will inevitably bring tragic sacrifices. At dusk, the horse bandits broke through the defense line of the Fish and Dragon Guards.
Then comes face-to-face hand-to-hand combat.
"Guard the tower, guard the tower, don't let the thieves hurt the princess."
Gong Fu raised his gun and stabbed a horse bandit in front of him to death, shouting at the top of his lungs.
The Rong people have surrounded the city tower, which has become an isolated city and is trapped in a sea of horse bandits.
In the end, he still couldn't hold on until reinforcements arrived. Gong Fu knew that he could no longer hold on, so he could only prepare for the worst and let Luo Jiu and others escort Princess Mingyu to leave first.
Now Gong Fu's job is to buy time for Luo Jiu. As for the eunuchs and maids, they don't care about it at all, because Gong Fu's life is ready to be sacrificed.
Luo Jiu protected Princess Mingyu as she went down to the tower, waved her iron whip to drive away the horse bandits, and then sent Mingyu to the carriage.
However, at this time, there were densely packed horse bandits all around, and even Luo Jiu was feeling chilly. It would not be easy to rush out.
"Cut your head off!"
"Pick your ears!"
"Pick your teeth!"
With loud roars, the horse bandits on the periphery were killed and found a way out. Gong Fu felt happy: Could it be that at the most critical moment, the reinforcements he had been waiting for had arrived.
But then, he realized that he was wrong, because there was only one person coming.
I saw him riding a white-haired camel. It was such a handsome camel. There was not a trace of hair on the whole body. His four hooves were on the snow and his body was like snow. At this moment, he rushed towards me. He was really handsome.
As for the man on the camel...because it's just ordinary, I won't mention it.
When Mingyu on the carriage saw this man's appearance, a bright light flashed in his eyes. At this moment, Princess Mingyu became Li Waner again.
The carriage was surrounded by horse bandits, and the way the camel appeared was so hateful that almost all the horse bandits attacked him.
The man on the camel clicked his feet and jumped up, with wings behind his back, walking on the wind in the air, jumping over many surroundings, and landed in front of the carriage.
It also fell directly in front of thousands of troops.
At this time, he alone is a team.
Luo Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before..."
