King Yan came so quickly!
Along with him came three thousand cyclone riders.
The reorganized Tornado Rider, under the command of King Yan, may not be as powerful as the former Tornado Rider, but the Tornado Rider will always be the Tornado Rider.
Only those who face the Tornado Rider can know what kind of iron-blooded lion this is.
———
Three thousand people, with all orders and prohibitions, the cold smell emitted from their bodies really makes strangers stay away.
Even Xu Laoer felt very troubled when he saw these three thousand cyclone riders. He was mentally calculating what his chances of winning would be if he encountered the whirlwind riders.
The Tornado Cavalry is not the Northern Barbarian Cavalry.
Although the Northern Barbarians were brave, they lacked organizational discipline, and their own equipment was completely incomparable to that of the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not deprived of armaments, the basic operation was to have a family of crossbows.
If the Northern Barbarians also had serial crossbows in hand, Xu Laoer would not dare to attack their military formation alone no matter how brave he was.
In fact, the Northern Barbarians are not without repeating crossbows.
In recent years, the Northern Barbarians have also obtained a lot of ordnance from the Tang Dynasty, including many crossbows. But the problem is that to use a repeating crossbow, you must be equipped with enough crossbow arrows.
Then, the problem arises.
Although the crossbow arrows are not troublesome to make, the Tang Dynasty's serial crossbows use crossbow boxes. All crossbow arrows must meet the standards before they can be used in the same crossbow box. Otherwise, they will jam.
In addition, the range of the repeating crossbow was really not very far. When the crossbow bolts were used up, they had to buy new ones from the Tang Dynasty, which made the Northern Barbarian King feel that some people were deceiving him as a fool. Therefore, it was regarded as a useless weapon by the Northern Barbarian King. After several trials, the Liannu was shelved.
Liannu, that's a good thing.
But Beiman did not have the production conditions for mass use, so in the end this thing could only become useless.
But in Datang, this is not a problem at all.
Not only are each of the Three Thousand Tornado Cavalry equipped with repeating crossbows, they also have crossbow boxes in a row in front of them, not to mention the empty crossbow boxes that can be replaced at any time. If you encounter local arrows, the crossbow box in front of you is equivalent to an extra layer of armor.
However, because there are many crossbow boxes hanging on the body, the requirements for the cyclone to ride on the body are much higher.
Otherwise, such a cruel person as Guan Ting would not have been rejected in the original selection of the Tornado Rider.
"Meet my cousin!"
King Yan entered a courtyard at Huangfengkou Pass and saw Mr. Xu sitting in the courtyard, his expression a little solemn.
"Li Zhen, do you still remember what I said back then?"
"Um?"
Hearing Mr. Xu speak, King Yan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Mr. Xu was referring to.
"It seems you have forgotten!"
Mr. Xu chuckled and said, "That's right. Your Highness, Prince Yan, how can you remember the words of a commoner like me?"
"Why did my cousin say this?"
As soon as King Yan heard what Mr. Xu said, he knew that Mr. Xu was holding back his anger, "I didn't expect what happened today. I thought that the Northern Barbarian King had withdrawn his troops, but I didn't expect that he would attack the Huangfengkou before leaving."
Revenge for killing your son!
Or two sons!
The Northern Barbarian King wanted revenge, he should have thought of it.
However, because the Northern Barbarians suddenly retreated, he was worried that the Northern Barbarian King would fight back, so he did not think of this level.
"This matter is my fault!"
"The imperial court will provide generous compensation to all Xiangyi Prefecture soldiers who died in battle!"
"fart!"
Mr. Xu overturned the table in front of him.
"If you provide a generous pension, if the person dies, no matter how much you provide, will it be useful?"
"At the beginning, I said that if the five thousand soldiers of my Xiangyi Prefecture guarded Huangfengkou and fought without help, if I didn't die, I would go to the Qiantian Palace and kill the Dog Emperor!"
"Let me ask you, where are the reinforcements?"
Mr. Xu grabbed the spear that was leaning on the ground, shot at King Yan, and shot without mercy.
King Yan only had time to block with his horizontal sword.
However, one side attacked first, and the other was caught off guard. King Yan, who was already as powerful as Mr. Xu, was directly knocked away by Mr. Xu's shot.
"Li Zhen, tell me!"
"Reinforcements, where are they?"
When they arrived at Huangfengkou, even with Xu Laoer's two-game winning streak, Mr. Xu still sent a message to the northwest town army camp, asking for additional reinforcements.
Why reinforcements
Because the town troops in Xiangyi Prefecture had only been defending the city before and had never experienced fighting in battle.
Even though Mr. Xu trained them hard after arriving at Huangfengkou, what could they accomplish in such a short period of time
It is nothing more than giving them a way to face the Northern Barbarian cavalry without being defeated at the first touch.
In the previous battle, Mr. Xu was actually mentally prepared to fight alone. However, not one of the five thousand cavalrymen from Xiangyi Prefecture fled before the battle.
Of the five thousand men, more than four thousand died in the battle.
With such a battle loss ratio, any other army would have been defeated long ago.
However, among the five thousand troops who came out of Xiangyi Prefecture, no one escaped.
On the battlefield, Mr. Xu didn't hear their words.
The words are very simple, that is, take people's money and eliminate disasters for them.
Xiangyi Prefecture's 5,000-strong army went to battle, including the 1,000 eight-oxen crossbows, all of which were obtained from Fubao's dowry money.
To put it harshly, these five thousand soldiers had already sold their lives to the old Xu family from the moment they stepped out of Xiangyi Mansion.
But even so, Mr. Xu still felt uneasy.
They didn't have to die.
At least you don’t have to die so much!
Compared with the Northern Barbarian cavalry, these cavalry from Xiangyi Prefecture are more like farmers who have just learned to fight on horseback.
Did the Tang Dynasty have no cavalry capable of fighting
Xu Laoer killed the young prince Tuobahun and captured 20,000 war horses. Why did Mr. Xu directly sell them to King Yan? He hoped that King Yan would have 20,000 war horses and send thousands of troops to Huang. tuyere.
However, no!
"Cousin, I was wrong!"
It was not that King Li Zhen of Yan had not thought about sending reinforcements to Huangfengkou, but when he thought of the thousand eight-oxen crossbows at Huangfengkou and the invincible general Xu Laoer, he thought it was absolutely foolproof.
In addition, he was prepared to crush the Northern Barbarian King's army openly, so he did not scatter the cavalry in the northwest camp.
But who would have thought that the Northern Barbarian King's return spear would reach Huangfengkou.
"you are wrong?"
"is that useful?"
"Ask those who died in the war, have they forgiven you?"
Mr. Xu pointed his spear at King Yan.
"Wu Chengbo, what do you want to do?"
At this time, the whirlwind bodyguards beside King Yan Li Zhen heard the movement in the yard and barged in. Seeing Mr. Xu's spear pointed at King Yan, he quickly protected him in front of King Yan.
"Back off!"
"Everyone, please retreat to me!"
When King Yan saw Leng Jue and others coming in, he immediately gave a sharp shout.
"Your Highness!"
"I ask you to stand down!"
King Yan's face darkened.
Seeing this, Leng Jue and others could only silently step aside.
"go out!"
King Yan spoke again. (End of chapter)
