Even the barbarians were so disturbed that they turned their heads to check the situation, and then they watched Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize gallop past only ten meters away from the barbarian army. down.
The barbarians on the outermost circle of the barbarian army were shot by arrows and howled.
This turn of events shocked many barbarians, and the threat at hand forced them to finally move their positions. Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize looked at the barbarians expectantly, hoping that they would get up and chase again because they were too angry to be provoked.
To their disappointment, the startled barbarian chose to continue playing dead after rolling a few times to the inside, as if he could escape the attack of the Great Xia cavalry by doing so.
There is no way, the crossbow arrows attack is indeed sharp, but at most Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian are two people, the firepower is still too small, of course the barbarians will take the chance that the crossbow arrows will not hit themselves.
Disappointed, Cheng Huaiqian chose to steer his horse close to the edge of the resting barbarian army and circled round and round, Xia Ruize methodically shot out the crossbow arrows.
Of course, on the way, there were still many bloody barbarians who could not only dodge suddenly attack suddenly.
But their attack was exactly what Cheng Huaiqian wanted. Cheng Huaiqian's crossbow arrows were only middle-grade white, but his marksmanship was low-grade yellow. Absolute crushing advantage, he was waiting for a barbarian to hit him.
The barbarians who fought back were all killed. After being deflated again and again, the barbarians completely gave up their resistance. They would rather hide in groups than jump out to attack.
Unsatisfied, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize could only continue to run around the barbarian army. Under their pressure, the rest area occupied by the barbarian army became smaller and smaller.
All the barbarians wanted to hide in the inner circle and have a good rest, so that the barbarians who were originally scattered in a large area had to gather together. In the end, less than a thousand barbarians were all squeezed together. within a small area.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were also happy to see the barbarians gather, so that they could save a lot of time by going around the barbarian army. What I look forward to more is, if the gathered barbarians have the idea of chasing and resisting again, isn't it just as they want
Thus, the two drove the barbarians together just like shepherds drove the flock into the sheepfold.
The cavalrymen of the Great Xia looked at their two chiefs with the eyes of gods and men. It is impossible for someone to push the fierce and sturdy barbarian army that dominates the northern region to such a degree. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
As long as the barbarians rested, they were attacked for as long as they were. The barbarians were very annoyed, and the little leader of the barbarians also realized that it was not advisable to continue to rest here, so he ordered to return to the camp south again.
Obviously the camp set up the night before was only temporary, and left behind a lot of bad experiences, but at this time, hearing that they could return to the camp, the barbarian army was sincerely happy, and even felt nostalgic for the camp.
They subconsciously believed that the damn Great Xia cavalry did not dare to approach their camp openly during the day, so as long as they returned to the camp, they would be completely safe!
So, full of expectations, the barbarian army set off.
After resting for half an hour, the barbarians managed to regain some strength, followed behind the senior barbarians, and walked towards the south.
This time, Cheng Huaiqian did not pursue the horse. Seeing the barbarian army starting to set off, he waved his hand and gave an order to gather all the cavalry under his command.
The bows and arrows of the Daxia cavalry are not like Xia Ruize's bows and arrows that can automatically replenish arrows. Even if they have prepared more arrows before leaving, after such a long time of shooting, the cavalry's quiver is almost empty.
Therefore, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize planned to change their attack methods.
After gathering all their subordinates in one place, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize stopped paying attention to the retreating barbarian army, but moved to a small jungle with their subordinates.
Cheng Huaiqian reined in his horse and stopped, and then let the cavalry dismount to rest. The barbarian army ran so hard all morning that they were so tired that they vomited blood.
A group of cavalry who had been fighting side by side all morning sat in a circle. Xia Ruize distributed hot steamed buns to these young-looking cavalry, and also distributed some mineral water to each of them, and even distributed water to each horse. .
The cavalry didn't ask much about Baozi's situation, just as the cavalry didn't ask why the weapons of the two officers could be changed easily and frequently.
The mineral water released from the treasure chest has a large amount of mineral water and has a slight effect of promoting recovery. It can quickly replenish energy and restore physical strength. Anyway, they have burst out a lot. In special times, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize will not be stingy to distribute some treasures to those who can strengthen their strength .
While eating and drinking, everyone listened to Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize's plan for the next battle.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize are determined to bring out the essence of guerrilla warfare to the extreme. When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue. They just want to make the road of the barbarian army approaching Bianlu City their permanent nightmare!
Although it may not be possible to keep all the barbarians on the road in the end, the more barbarians left, the less pressure the defenders of Bianlu City will face from the barbarians, and the higher the completion evaluation of the extended task may be.
For this reason, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize spared no effort to put the barbarian army to death.
After resting for half an hour, the cavalrymen and horses recovered their strength and energy. This time, Cheng Huaiqian pulled out two amber horses from the jungle. Go in the direction of the fast catch up.
The exhausted barbarian army was finally able to embark on the return journey, the damn Daxia people finally no longer lingered, and everything was moving in a good direction. The barbarians felt much more relaxed and walked less eagerly.
Even the little barbarian leader got off his horse and traveled on his legs.
There is no way, although there are still eight horses left, but the barbarians know that whoever is riding on the horse is the most conspicuous target to be attacked, maybe the back of the heart will be pierced by an arrow while walking. More importantly, the barbarian army in the rear was really slow, and they couldn't be left behind. It was better to walk fast than to ride a horse.
Therefore, the little barbarian leader simply dismounted and walked, calling the remaining high-level barbarians to discuss countermeasures with him.
The barbarians have dealt with the Great Xia army for many years, and they have never encountered such a treacherous and cunning team, nor has there ever been a major failure in which just a dozen cavalrymen have played around and forced the barbarian army led by the little leader to such an extent.
Especially the two leaders of the Great Xia cavalry, they seemed to be favored by Changshengtian, and they could come and go easily and sneak attack in the dark night, using various methods, and fell directly or indirectly on them in less than a day and a night. There are more than 700 barbarians in hand, among which there are not a few high-level barbarians!
After careful counting, all the surviving high-level barbarians were stunned by such a record. They deeply realized that these two Great Xia cavalry must not stay!
Keeping those two damned Bactrians behind is a threat not only to them, but even to the entire barbarian army!
The barbarian leaders who walked in the front were full of righteous indignation, followed by the tired and hungry barbarian army, and the barbarian army who walked in the back was the most lazy, dragging every step, wanting to crawl on the ground.
At this moment, the ears of the barbarians walking at the back moved, as if they heard the familiar sound of horseshoes, they looked back in horror, and sure enough, the figure of a demon appeared from behind the hill and was approaching rapidly.
They all recognized the two small black dots at the head turned into ashes! It was the two most damned Great Xia cavalrymen!
Seeing the figure of the Great Xia cavalry reappearing, the barbarians behind were terrified and wanted to issue an early warning, but found that they were hungry and dehydrated and frightened, their throats were so dry that they could not even utter a sound.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize took the lead, constantly driving the horses, and the horses galloped faster and faster. A column of fourteen riders rushed into the barbarian army under the horrified eyes of more and more barbarians who noticed them.
Then, the cavalry bent their bodies slightly, and swung their weapons vigorously at the barbarians below, quickly harvesting the lives of the barbarians.
At a certain moment, Xia Ruize realized that this scene was very similar to what he saw on the first day he appeared in this world, except that this time, the identities of the attacking party on the horse and the slaughtered party under the horse had changed .
The cavalry had a crushing advantage over the infantry. In an instant, a group of Daxia cavalry passed through the middle of the barbarian team like sharp long swords.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, who opened the way at the front, were like the sharp blades on both sides of a long sword, piercing through the barbarian formation forcefully, leading their men forward, leaving the barbarians who fell all the way.
In fact, the barbarians are better at this kind of cavalry-to-infantry battle. Unfortunately, they are good at being in the position of superior cavalry, not weak infantry.
By the time the little barbarian leader noticed the change in the rear of the team and the news was passed up layer by layer, the Great Xia cavalry had already rushed out of the barbarian army's queue, turned their horses in the distance, and rushed towards the barbarian army again.
After all, the barbarians are a brave and fierce fighting nation. After being hit by a sudden setback, they reacted quickly. Many barbarian warriors moved closer to one place and lined up in a tight formation facing the direction of the Great Xia cavalry, with their weapons uniformly facing outwards. , obviously wanting to form an formation against the impact of the cavalry.
After the Great Xia cavalry once again cut the barbarian army forcefully, the barbarians who reacted became the majority, and the infantry against the cavalry was formed.
Seeing this, Cheng Huaiqian gave orders to his cavalry, and continued galloping with Xia Ruize, heading straight for the barbarian army.
But when the barbarian soldiers looked tense and prepared to fight, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, who were close to the army formation, suddenly turned a little bit, and the soldiers passed in parallel in front of the barbarian army formation in two ways. The barbarians ushered in a series of crossbow attacks.
When the barbarian army realized that they had been tricked, some barbarian soldiers had already fallen, while the Great Xia cavalry quickly circled the entire army formation.
When the Great Xia cavalry turned for the fourth time and rushed towards the barbarian army formation, the senior barbarian commanding the battle felt a drum in their hearts. Was the Great Xia cavalry going to cut the army formation or outflank it
