"Call..."
Li Yuanhao's face was gloomy and could bleed, he reined his horse and stopped, watching the horse thieves gradually flee in front of him.
The iron harrier behind him, as well as the auxiliary soldiers, also reined in their horses and stopped.
The Iron Harrier is a heavy armored rider, and it seems a bit difficult to chase the rangers of Zhang Yuan and his party.
In order to catch up with Zhang Yuan and his party, Iron Harrier had already taken off his armor with the help of the auxiliary soldiers while running.
Auxiliary soldiers will jump on their horsebacks while running, sit behind them, and help them unarm.
Iron Harrier's auxiliary soldiers are all blood relatives of Iron Harrier. After Iron Harrier dies, they will wear Iron Harrier's armor and become new Iron Harrier.
Therefore, the cooperation between their blood relatives is very tacit.
Immediately removing the armor is something that is impossible in the eyes of others, but they can easily accomplish it on horseback.
Even so.
Li Yuanhao led the Iron Harrier, but still failed to catch up with Zhang Yuan and his party.
Although they encountered some routs who had left the team on their way to pursue, they were not many.
There were very few horse thieves who fell in their hands on the chase.
It wasn't until the explosion sounded that Li Yuanhao realized that he was very likely to be caught. This battle, from beginning to end, was probably a ploy.
When the horse thieves were escaping, they were very fast and concentrated. When they ran away, they did not panic. They ran along a road with a strong purpose.
The horse thieves scattered along the way were incomparable with the horse thieves who fled in groups.
Li Yuanhao guessed that the horse thieves who were scattered might be abandoned sons.
They may not know the truth at all, they have been blindly following the leader of the horse thieves.
But those horse thieves who gathered together absolutely knew the truth.
"Damn..."
Li Yuanhao cursed in a low voice.
The leader of the horse thieves, when abandoning the horse thieves, not only abandoned them decisively, but also took advantage of them.
The sound of explosions everywhere is proof.
"Quickly go to people and find our brother..."
Li Yuanhao stopped his horse and shouted in a deep voice.
The auxiliary soldiers at the back changed their horses with the iron harrier, and the iron harrier dispatched a hundred people to find the iron harriers who had already been dispatched.
"Hahaha..."
"Li Yuanhao, no matter how great you are, you still have to drink my footwashing water... If you are to blame, you should underestimate the enemy... You shouldn't choose to pursue us..."
"..."
After Zhang Yuan led the team away from the pursuit of Li Yuanhao and his party, he laughed happily.
"Chief, where are we going now?"
Behind Zhang Yuan, a thin horse thief asked in a low voice.
Zhang Yuan clipped his horseback and said loudly: "Go to the camp where the cattle and sheep are occupied..."
"Don't go to Populus euphratica forest?"
"of course… "
Zhang Yuan replied of course, leading the horse thieves to the place where Kou Ji placed the cattle and sheep.
Hu Yanglin was just a fake message sent by Zhang Yuan to those running away horse thieves.
The reason why I chose Populus euphratica forest is because there are three important routes leading to the Populus euphratica forest.
Zhang Yuan allotted the invincible mine cannons allocated to him by Kou Ji in one breath, and buried them all in three must pass.
Those horse thieves who ran away were the bait to lure the iron harrier into the ambush.
As long as they enter the ambush, Zhang Yuan will always win no matter who is killed.
Those horse thieves knew that they were deceived by Zhang Yuan, so they would definitely not give up with Zhang Yuan.
If they died under the invincible landmine cannon, it would save Zhang Yuan a lot of trouble.
The task Kou Ji gave him was to hold the iron harrier, the longer the better, but not to let him and the iron harrier die.
The iron harrier went from concentration to dispersion, from dispersion to concentration.
Many roads ran in the middle.
Will consume a lot of time.
After this battle, the Iron Harrier had already rushed out a lot and consumed a lot of physical energy.
You need a break before you have a chance to return.
At least until noon tomorrow, the three iron Harrier brigade led by Li Yuanhao will not pose any threat to Kou Ji.
"Drive..."
Zhang Yuan straddled his horse and ran wildly on the withered grass.
Li Yuanhao in the distance, straddling his horseback, his face became more gloomy.
The iron harrier he dispatched had already returned to him. More than three hundred iron harriers were dispatched, and only 290 people returned.
Dozens of them were lost in the pursuit.
"How did they die?"
Looking at the somewhat broken and incomplete armor, Li Yuanhao clenched his fists and snarled questions.
Mo Luo Maibu knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers under his command were greedy. After catching up with the horse thief, they forced the horse thief to be brought down, and the horse thief would meet in the Populus euphratica forest, so they took the initiative. Chased it out.
Then there was an ambush..."
"A bunch of idiots, I only told them to chase, I didn't tell them to call the shots without authorization..."
Li Yuanhao roared angrily.
Iron Harrier has not suffered such a big loss since its founding.
If it is in the hands of the Song State Army, or the Qingtang and Liao State Army, he can barely accept it.
But it was broken into the hands of the horse thief, which he could not accept.
A group of thieves who were not even soldiers in his eyes caused casualties to his most elite soldiers.
"Damn it all..."
"When I take the Shazhou City and dominate the entire north of Daxue Mountain, I will definitely thwart all of them."
"..."
Li Yuanhao pulled out dozens of auxiliary soldiers on the spot, put on the armor of the iron harrier, and became a new iron waist.
At the same time, he ordered the Iron Harrier to camp on the spot and restore his strength.
Just after Li Yuanhao instructed the iron Harriers to unload, Kou Ji led the men and horses to ten miles away from Shazhou City.
There is a mountain bag outside Shazhou city.
There is a river under the mountain bag.
The river is not spacious, but it is the river of life for the people of Shazhou to survive.
It's just that the drinking water in this river is hard to quote.
The Shazhou Uighurs lost many dead cattle and sheep in order to cause trouble for Xixia soldiers and horses.
Many bony cows and sheep that have been soaked or eaten by wild beasts are piled up on the shore, looking very permeating.
After Kou Ji and his party arrived at the mountain bag, Kou Ji issued a strict order to let Liu Heng control the people under him so that they would not go to the river and drink water from the river.
Where did the plague come from, and how terrible it is.
Kou Ji is far clearer than Liu Heng and others.
After occupying the small mountain bag.
Kou Jice immediately reached the top of the mountain. There were some bushes on the top of the mountain, which had been cut clean by the front army.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Kou Ji looked up and saw the shadow of Shazhou City faintly.
Shazhou City had already become dilapidated under the successive attacks of Xixia soldiers and horses.
One huge gap appeared one after another on the walls of many sections.
The city is almost completely dark, and it is difficult to see the movement inside the city.
There is only one place with some lights.
Kou Ji guessed that it should be the palace of the Shazhou Uighur.
"Our people, it's not as good as their lives in Shazhou City..."
Kou Ji looked at Shazhou City and sighed.
Liu Heng's horse followed Kou Ji, looking at the Shazhou City in the distance, "How can you see it?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "The lights are like food... People who have not eaten or drink are eligible to light up?"
"The only light in the city is..."
"The residence of Cao Xianshun, the Jiedu Envoy of the Guiyi Army..."
"He has food... Why doesn't he give it to me Da Song soldiers..."
"Then you have to ask him in person..."
"..."
Kou Ji and Liu Heng chatted a few words, and Liu Heng said to Kou Ji in a deep voice: "Since we approached Shazhou City, my spies have encountered Xixia's ten-number scouts...
I am afraid that our whereabouts have been discovered by the Xixia people...
In addition, the scouts found traces of the Iron Harrier not far from here..."
Hearing this, Kou Ji frowned, "Li Yuanhao didn't fall for it, and he didn't send all the iron harriers to deal with Zhang Yuan and his party."
Liu Heng nodded heavily, "It should be..."
"How should we respond?"
"Unexpectedly..."
Kou Ji sighed and whispered.
Liu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, "You expected Li Yuanhao would not send all the iron harriers to deal with Zhang Yuan?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "Li Yuanhao is not a fool, and Xixia's spies are not fools. They did not find us in the soldiers led by Zhang Yuan, and they would definitely keep a hand.
The greatest possibility is to divide the iron Harrier into two.
When the notice went down, the patrol guard rode heavily, put on his armour and got on the horse.
The guardsmen and crossbowmen will move all the tigers here.
Tell Kou Cheng to move all the artillery on the carriage here, clear out all the artillery shells, and send them here together.
Tell the Japanese generals to put on heavy armor and prepare to meet the enemy.
If there are surplus weapons, distribute them to those civilian husbands.
Tell them, kill the enemy by one level, and reward the money ten thousand times. "
Liu Heng's eyes widened in amazement, "Where did we get so much money?"
Kou Ji squinted slightly and said quietly, "You will have it when you enter Shazhou City."
Kou Ji turned his head, his gaze fell on Liu Heng, and he said in a deep voice, "Go down and prepare. When the shells in my hand are all lit up, everyone will rush towards Shazhou City."
"Hard punch?"
"At this point, we have no second way to go except for hard rushing."
"..."
Liu Heng said solemnly: "I understand, I will tell them to prepare."
Liu Heng straddled his horse and got off the hill.
Conveyed Kou Ji's order.
After hearing Kou Ji's orders, the guards, guards, Japanese soldiers, and civil servants knew that there was a tough battle to be fought in a while.
They did not panic because of this, but were very calm.
In the past, in the event of a war, the civil servants would become very panicked.
But this time it was different.
After experiencing the baptism of the victory over Sichuan, the folks knew that there would be nothing wrong with Kou Ji, and knew the weapons in Kou Ji's hands.
Not only are they not afraid, but they are also a little eager to try.
A culprit has a lot of money in his head, and a few more culprits’ heads are cut off, and that is a generous reward.
It's worth a bet.
Besides, they are not fighting on their own.
In each of them, they also control two yellow-headed Huihe prisoners.
Some clever civil servants, after obtaining weapons, made some sticks and the like to the prisoners of Huangtouhuihe.
Tell the captives that as long as they can help them take down the enemy's head, he will buy meat for them and improve his treatment if he gets the reward.
Some of the captives agreed under the flesh-eating force, some captives succumbed under the coercion and temptation, but more captives had a very tough attitude and were unwilling to participate in the war.
Finally, when the folks put their knives on their necks, they still chose to give in.
Kou Ji took everything in his eyes and didn't stop it.
If the folks really have the ability to coax the captives of Huangtouhuihe into working for themselves, it would be a good thing in his eyes.
Three lives are better than one life.
As for the captives of Huangtou Huihe, whether they would rebel during the battle, Kou Ji didn't worry at all.
The civil servants are not the main force in combat, and the enemies they encounter are not the strongest.
Those who can rush in front of them must be some Xixia's small rangers, not too many.
It is difficult for the captives of Huangtou Huihe to escape from the knife-edges of the people by Xixia's small wandering horses.
Even if one or two get out of trouble, they will be strangled by other civilians.
The folks expected that the captives who had turned yellow heads would defect.
Because as long as they made a defection, the folks could easily collect twenty pennies in their pockets.
Kou Ji's order is very clear.
It only said that the enemy's head counts money, but it does not say that the enemy's head must be the head of the Xixia people.
As long as they have money that can be seen and touched, the folks will become very smart.
Kou Ji and his entourage were halfway through.
Xixia's ride has appeared not far from the mountain bag.
Before the rangers, it was a group of captives.
Some escaped from the city of Shazhou and were caught by Xixia, and some were caught by Xixia soldiers and horses along the way.
When they were fighting, they would always capture prisoners.
Needless to say the woman after the captive was captured.
Men will be sent to work as coolies for them.
Once the value of the captives is almost used, they will push the captives out and become cannon fodder to test the strength of the enemy.
It's not just Xixia and Liao Kingdoms when they were fighting.
If you run into some people who pity the captives and are unwilling to kill the captives, you will suffer a lot.
Xixia Yuqi drove the captives, and rushed to the hills crying.
Kou Ji stood on the hill, watching indifferently.
After the captives rushed to a certain distance, Kou Ji gave the order without hesitation.
"Ordered the Japanese soldiers to attack and beheaded them..."
On the battlefield.
Human lives are like weeds.
Can't tolerate the slightest pity.
Kou Ji would never do those kind acts that hurt his soldiers.
"kill… "
"Roar..."
Gao Yi was wearing a stepper and gave an order.
Two thousand Japanese soldiers formed a fish-scale formation and pushed them out.
The fish-scale formation formed by two thousand Japanese soldiers is a complete and huge fish-scale formation.
It's not like the separate fish scale array used by Xixia Iron Harrier.
Seen from the fish-scale array recorded in the military books.
The fish-scale formation used by the Japanese soldiers can be regarded as the most formal.
The fish scale formation used by Xixia Iron Harrier is a variant formation that combines traditional fish scale formation and wolf pack tactics.
