On the official road leading to the capital from Longxi Mansion.
A tightly covered carriage was escorted by five hundred soldiers, and behind and behind the carriage were the Xu Mansion's iron cavalry.
In the carriage, it was Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai who had escaped from the Northern Barbarians.
However, the current An Taigong seems to be abnormal. A grown man suddenly dressed himself as a woman.
What’s even weirder is that An Taigong, who is dressed as a woman, has a well-kept beard on his face.
Some people may think that An Taigong is faking, but in fact, all the doctors who diagnosed An Taigong came to the same conclusion, that An Taigong was abnormal.
Think about it, normal people can't do what An Taigong is doing now.
King Yan couldn't see An Taigong's irritating look, so he simply sent him back to the capital and handed him over to the emperor.
As for how the emperor should deal with the abnormal An Taigong, that is a matter for those in the court. King Yan was not interested at all in the games and infighting involved.
King Yan now has only one idea, and that is to win this battle.
Emperor Yongping's idea was to delay until the weather turned cold, and the Northern Barbarians would have to retreat.
But the real situation on the battlefield is that the Northern Barbarian King used all the strength of his clan to fight, but he stationed himself outside Longxi Mansion. Apart from launching continuous attacks on the Yellow Fengkou, there is no other action.
After gathering a large army, the daily consumption of food and grass can be said to be astronomical, but the Northern Barbarian King does not seem to be in a hurry.
The strange behavior of the Northern Barbarians forced King Yan to send Duke An Tai back to the capital as soon as possible, and then concentrate on dealing with the Northern Barbarians' actions.
However, considering that the northern barbarians' dispatch of troops might have a direct impact on An Taigong, King Yan specially sent 500 soldiers from the northwest town army to escort An Taigong back to the capital.
However, what King Yan did not expect was that the target of the Northern Barbarians was actually Xu Huairen, Duke of Antai.
When An Taigong's carriage was about to leave Longxi Mansion and enter Donglin Mansion, a large group of Northern Barbarian cavalry suddenly came out of the woods on both sides of the official road.
Cavalry has an inherent advantage over infantry.
Now the Northern Barbarian cavalry made another surprise attack, and more than half of the 500 soldiers of the northwest town army escorting An Taigong were slaughtered in one encounter.
The Xu Mansion cavalry escorting An Taigong did not participate in the battle against the Northern Barbarian cavalry. Instead, they immediately protected the carriage An Taigong was riding in and ran towards Donglin Mansion.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry ignored the escaped Xu Mansion cavalry and the carriage of An Taigong, but focused on massacring the soldiers of the Northwest Army.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all five hundred soldiers of the Northwest Army were killed or injured.
"Owl leader!"
The leading Northern Barbarian general looked at the dead and injured soldiers of the Northwest Town Army. He ordered his Northern Barbarian cavalry to dismount, cut off the heads of all the dead soldiers of the Northwest Town Army, and took them away.
This will be their military exploit!
…
The Xufu cavalry and An Taigong's carriage, which abandoned the soldiers of the Northwest Town Army and fled, did not run far when they were intercepted by the second wave of Northern Barbarian cavalry.
The Xu Mansion cavalry who followed An Taigong to the Northern Barbarians and escaped back this time can be regarded as warriors in many battles.
However, in the face of absolute numerical superiority, their fight to the death was nothing more than a desperate struggle.
A stick of incense passed and the battle came to an end.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry surrounded Duke An Tai's carriage.
The next moment, the leading Northern barbarian general opened the sealed carriage compartment and released An Taigong who was trapped inside.
When An Taigong Xu Huairen came out of the carriage and saw the Northern Barbarian cavalry kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but let out a very harsh laugh.
"Walk!"
An Taigong Xu Huairen glanced at the Northern Barbarian cavalry kneeling on the ground. He seemed to be very satisfied with the attitude of these people. With a wave of his hand, he jumped onto his own mount.
Soon, the Northern Barbarian cavalry that had sneaked into the Tang Dynasty gathered together, turned into a torrent, and flew southward.
All the villages and towns that this torrent passed along the way were turned into ruins under this torrent, and the people in the villages and towns, without exception, were all killed.
By the time King Yan received the news, it was already two days later.
"Pass this king's order and prepare for war!"
It is intolerable for the Northern Barbarians to sneak into the country and attack and kill the people of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, Mr. Xu also received the news, and immediately asked someone to find Kanyu Tu.
"Here, here, here..."
"Damn it!"
After reading the Kanyu map, Mr. Xu's expression changed.
"Guan Ting!"
"The general is here!"
Upon hearing Mr. Xu's call, Guan Ting quickly responded.
"From now on, Huang Feng is yours!"
"Remember, no matter what time, you are not allowed to go out to fight!"
"As long as the Eight Oxen Crossbow can still be used, we will always rely on the Eight Oxen Crossbow to defend the city. Even if the Northern Barbarians drive me, the people of the Tang Dynasty, to come, as long as they enter the range of the Eight Oxen Crossbow Formation, shoot them all!"
"This is a military order!"
"The last general takes command!"
Guan Ting didn't know what happened, but he knew that something must have happened.
"Boss, call the second and third sons, let's go home!"
Mr. Xu directly picked up his spear and strode out of the camp.
"Dad, do you mean that the destination of those Northern Barbarian cavalry is ours?"
"Ninety-nine percent!"
Mr. Xu was also very confused.
The Northern Barbarians lurked thousands of cavalry into the Tang Dynasty. Instead of attacking the capital area, they headed towards Xiangyi Prefecture. This was simply unreasonable.
But regardless of whether it was common sense or not, Mr. Xu basically concluded from the southward route of this Northern Barbarian cavalry that their goal was Anshun County.
What is there in Anshun County
Could it be that the Northern Barbarian King was planning to take revenge on their families because of the death of his two sons
"Dad, you were ordered to guard Huangfengkou. If you leave, wouldn't you be telling the truth?"
Boss Xu looked at his father, "Why don't we three brothers go back!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I am guarding Huangfengkou, and I am guarding the people of the Tang Dynasty, not anyone else."
"But above the people of Tang Dynasty, there is our family!"
Mr. Xu sneered, "Do you really think I care about this bullshit title? Let's go!"
"okay!"
After hearing what his father said, Boss Xu breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
What he said to his father just now was just a test for him as a son. Because Boss Xu was afraid that his father would have some ideas because he suddenly got the title.
Fortunately, his father is still his father.
Of course, fortunately, his father didn't notice his temptation.
Otherwise, Boss Xu probably wouldn't be able to survive.
When returning to Lingshui Village to aid, Mr. Xu did not bring any troops or horses. After all, they had to travel day and night, and ordinary cavalry simply could not keep up with their speed.
The most important thing is that if Mr. Xu's guess is true when he goes back this time, then there will be a fierce battle.
Mr. Xu has no reason to let other people's fathers, other people's sons, and other people's husbands fight for their family's affairs. (End of chapter)
