”Old master, quickly don't be angry. If you run away, the tribesmen and the land will fall into the hands of the Han army. Besides, those Chinese soldiers are all cavalry, how can you outrun them? ”Today, we just can't outrun them. We lost half of our men and horses.” Thinking about today's battle, Commander Li Yan was slightly afraid.
”Take him down and I'll think about it.” Li Jing waved his hand, and had the old man from korean escorted him away. The commander's words frightened him. Those Han soldiers were not to be trifled with. They could run away, but they also didn't want to surrender. For a moment, he really couldn't make up her mind.
”Reporting...” Milord, fifteen kilometers ahead, a large number of Pitiful Moslems s that were fleeing towards the south have been discovered. They were old and young, and they even carried cattle and farm tools. I think that Dahuru brought her clan and fled into korean. ” While Zhang Hu and Li Da were eating, a exorcism suddenly ran over and reported to them.
Zhang Hu immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked anxiously: ”Do they have an army behind them?”
”Lord Report, they seem to be in no hurry to escape, I don't think there's an army behind.” The exorcism immediately replied.
Li Da waved his hand, and the exorcism went down. He looked at Zhang Hu and said thoughtfully: ”I guess that the Dahuru is here for Li Jing. Although the Triple Korea and the Leroy County belong to two different countries, they have always been neighbors and would definitely interact with each other on a daily basis. Now that the Dahuru has fled to the south, this is her closest resting place. ”
”We're in big trouble.” Zhang Hu stood up and walked a few steps into the tent. There were more than three thousand strong people under Dahuru's command that could fight, and more than a thousand korean people in Li Jing's castle. It's just that they were able to form a pincer attack on both sides, which is extremely disadvantageous for us! ”
”Although exorcism did not discover the great army behind Dahuru, I believe that our great army is not far away. The two masters will not let go of this opportunity.” Li Da waved his hand, and said affirmatively: ”How about we split up, I will lead the way to attack the Dahuru, and you lead the way to attack the Li Jing Castle here. ”How about it?”
”I will go and fight Dahuru. You just stay here and watch over Li Jing.” Zhang Hu waved his hand and shouted to herald: ”Inform the first to fifth cavalry, gather immediately and fight against Dahuru.”
Dahuru led her people and ran, before she knew it, she had already been more than 100 miles into korean. Li Jing's tribe was not far away, but he was not at ease at all. In the past, whenever he ran towards the korean, the Han army would stop their attacks. Who knew that this time, they would always follow behind him from the back, neither near nor far, like a pack of wild wolves waiting for their prey.
He and Li Jing were both neighbours, and friends for many years. The two of them came and went as often as they could, and had a harmonious relationship with each other. Therefore, whenever Dahuru encountered any difficulties, she would first think of Li Jing.
Seeing that it was already late, the Dahuru became even more anxious. He waved the whip in her hands and shouted loudly, ”Hurry, all of you hurry up, we must reach Master Li Jing's castle today.”
However, his team could not move fast enough, especially those women and children, which greatly affected their speed. No matter how much his whip cracked, they could only slowly walk along the mountain road, and the cries of the children carried far away, attracting the hunters to follow closely behind.
”Old master, look!”
Suddenly, a few Pitiful Moslems s started to shout. Dahuru looked up and saw a group of riders running towards Li Jing's castle. Although they did not have any flags, but from their armor, Dahuru knew that these cavalry troops must be Chinese soldiers!
”Heavens …” Dahuru could not help but feel a wave of dizziness, and she almost fell off her horse. A series of question marks popped out, ”Why did the Han army run in front of us? Could it be that they have already occupied Li Jing's castle? ”
”Quick, Ge Dali, lead the warriors of the impurity Mo to charge forward. We will definitely stop them.” Without giving the Dahuru time to think, he immediately shouted out, ”The rest of you, hurry up and occupy the mountain in front to protect this woman and her possessions.”
It had to be said that the Dahuru still had some ability to command. He told Ge Dali to stall the Chinese cavalry while she led her clansmen to take over the mountain.
”Shoot!” ”Shoot!”
With more than two thousand impurity Mo soldiers, Ge Dali took one of the mountain ridges and shot an arrow downwards. The Pitiful Moslems were all good hunters, their archery was excellent. If the Han army wanted to rush up, the price would be huge.
In such a large mountain, the cavalry could not gain any advantage. Other than marching at a fast pace, they had no other advantages. When the warhorses charged up the mountain, they were originally unable to increase their speed. In addition, the protection of the warhorses were very poor, so it was likely that they would lose more than half of their battle horses.
”The first to the third cavalry unit, dismount and charge. The fourth to the fifth squadron, hold your ground!” Zhang Hu shouted and was the first to jump down from the horse. He held his shield in one hand and took out his long knife with the other. He pointed at the mountain ridge and shouted: ”Warriors of the burly officer, kill them all!”
”Kill …”
Over a thousand soldiers roared, raising their long knife high up as they rushed towards the mountain. With the cover of the trees and rocks, more than a thousand soldiers were jumping on the mountain ridge to avoid the Arrows s of the Pitiful Moslems. They quickly rushed to the mountain ridge, and the soldiers of both sides immediately started fighting each other.
