285: Mount the Horse and Meet the Enemy
The visitor entered a military tent and muttered Tatar. Su Xinyi didn't understand Tatar very well, so he guessed a few things and left quietly at night. Google search reading
After meeting up with several other people, they rushed back immediately.
Huang Kan and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Crown Princess coming back, and hurriedly greeted her and asked about the situation.
Su Xinyi said: "They should attack the city tomorrow morning. This siege team came from Zhangping Mansion. They just won the battle, so they will inevitably have a celebration banquet."
Just outside the city wall of Yulinwei, it is really arrogant.
Huang Kan's eyes were all red with anger. He couldn't help but cursed: "You bitch, you're going too far! Princess, we can't let them off lightly. Tell us what we should do."
Su Xinyi frowned and said nothing, obviously still thinking.
Su Qi glanced at everyone, and then said slowly: "I have an idea. There are too few of us to fight head-on with the opponent. We might as well use rockets to shoot into the enemy's tent and cause chaos among them."
"Rockets?" Huang Kan said hesitantly, "You don't have many of these, right?"
Only the cavalry of the Three Thousand Battalion have such a thing, or the archers who attack the city are equipped with it. The infantry does not have this thing. Most of them prepare normal bows and arrows. Rockets are only available to those with deep pockets in the Three Thousand Battalion.
Su Xinyi asked Zhan Qiao to count the number of rockets, and then watched Huang Kan and his second brother discuss how to launch a sneak attack.
"We have too few people to lose, so we can't fight with the enemy. It's best to set fire to it and run away." Su Qi said.
Huang Kan was convinced, "I think the second young master is right, but where to run? If the Yulin Guards find that there is chaos outside and want to go out of the city to attack, should we run?"
Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. They have no advance contact with the Yulin Guards. They don't know what they will do. If they want to charge hard, they basically won't be able to escape unless the people inside come out to respond.
If they run away after setting fire, if someone from Yulin Guard takes the opportunity to come out for a fight, will they respond?
These are all issues to be considered.
Su Xinyi stared at the dark Yulin Guard in the distance. She knew that under this darkness, the soldiers of the Yulin Guard must be nervously staring at the enemy.
The Yulin Guards, who have been besieged several times by the enemy, are probably at the end of their strength. Unless they are reinforced by strong troops, they will not leave the city easily.
However, it was always difficult to guess Xie Guan’s thoughts. Su Xinyi still said cautiously: “The enemy’s tents surrounded Yulin Guards in a semicircle. We separated a few soldiers with the fastest riding skills and the best archery skills to set fire to them. Respond from a distance. Don’t run away after setting off the fire. If the Yulin Guards really come out to kill the enemy while they are in chaos, we will turn around and cooperate with them from inside and outside to attack the enemy’s formation.”
Since they are mainly cavalry, their tactics are mainly focused on disrupting the enemy's positions. They do not aim at killing many enemies, but mainly create opportunities for Xie Guan and others.
She wouldn't do such a thing.
Even Huang Kan couldn't fault Su Xinyi's arrangement. After he added some small details, Huang Kan and Su Xinyi led a team to climb over, and Su Qi used a bridge to lead a large force to support.
Su Xinyi looked at the time and asked everyone to take time to rest.
She held her waist knife, leaned next to the horse and closed her eyes to rest.
The night is getting quieter and quieter, and the night wind blows slowly, carrying the coolness of the frontier fortress. It is a pity that there is no wind tonight.
The moon is dark, the wind is high, and the sky is on fire. There is only a small difference in the weather when there is no wind.
The horse snorted gently, and Su Xinyi immediately opened her eyes, and the remaining sleepiness in her eyes was immediately swept away.
As she stood up, everyone woke up and immediately got ready, checking their bows, arrows, and horses, and then took out the prepared dry food and water bags. Everyone took the time to eat something to cushion their stomachs.
Chou Shi was the sleepiest time of the day. Su Xinyi ate quickly and drank a gulp of water. She was completely awake. She stood up and stared at the enemy's camp from a distance.
At this time, the bonfire in the camp had already dimmed, and only the remaining firelight was still flickering.
"Princess." Huang Kan came over with someone, "These are the people who are following you."
Su Xinyi nodded, then turned around and looked at the dozens of people he had selected. All of them were carrying bows and arrows, and their armor was already on their upper body. There was hatred and fighting spirit against the Tatars between their brows.
Another team followed Huang Kan. The two teams were almost the same. Su Xinyi looked at everyone and said softly: "Everyone, Mr. Huang should have told you. I won't talk nonsense anymore. There is only one thing you remember, our rockets are limited. , no additions are allowed for the time being, so every arrow in your hand must hit the enemy's camp. Do you see the dark and silent city in front of you, where there are hundreds of thousands of people who have fought bloody battles to defeat the enemy? The soldiers holding on to the Tartar siege were in danger, but we only had less than a thousand people and could not fight the enemy head-on, so we could not show off our courage at this time. Everyone obeyed the order, aimed at the enemy's camp, burned their food and grass, and retreated immediately after winning. "
Everyone responded silently, with excited expressions on their faces, already ready to move.
No soldier can watch the enemy rampage on the soil of his country and remain indifferent.
Su Qi and Zhan Qiao wanted to go, but they knew that the Crown Princess was more skilled in riding, so they were willing to make arrangements.
Su Xinyi jumped on the horse, and the soldiers behind her followed. They waved their scimitars and issued silent attack orders.
Su Xinyi led the way. The horse's hooves, which had been wrapped in thick cotton cloth, made only a slight sound. She and Huang Kan separated and merged into the night like a dragon.
At this moment, the dark clouds covered the bright moon. When they were still a shot away from the enemy camp, Su Xinyi waved her hand and ordered everyone to disperse and find the most suitable archery position. She waited for everyone to take their positions, took off the strong bow on her back, ignited the rocket, pulled the bow, and aimed at the largest tent in the enemy camp.
With a "bang", the rocket pierced the tent fiercely, and the sparks instantly ignited the tent, and then countless rockets flew out.
"Enemy attack!"
The enemy's camp was immediately in chaos, and the tents on the other side also caught fire at this time. Su Xinyi led the people to gallop on horseback, went around to the place where food and grass were stored behind the enemy camp, and aimed the remaining rockets and shot them out.
After such a delay, someone discovered them and immediately chased them.
"Retreat!"
Su Xinyi led her men to turn around and run away without fighting. She drew her bow and shot an arrow, aiming at the enemy leader. With a "whoosh", the arrow broke through the air and shot through the enemy's throat, knocking him off his horse in an instant.
Su Xinyi was the last one to leave. She almost hit the target every time. The eyes of the soldiers in the Three Thousand Battalion were all bright. They had heard that the Crown Princess was good at martial arts, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. Now they finally saw it.
"Go." Su Xinyi shot several people in a row, and the pursuing enemy immediately slowed down. She led her men to retreat without hesitation.
Halfway through the journey, she saw that Huang Kan seemed to be in some trouble and was being bitten by the enemy. She immediately turned around and rushed over with her men.
There were not many arrows left. She took out the remaining three arrows and aimed at the enemy who was fighting with Huang Kan. Unexpectedly, the man stretched out his hand very agilely. Hearing the wind, he immediately turned sideways to avoid the vitals, and the arrow pierced his shoulder.
Huang Kan immediately swung the long sword in his hand, a streak of blood slid across, and the enemy's body and head were separated.
Su Xinyi drew her sword after using up all her arrows, and led her men to directly disperse the pursuing enemy army, dividing them into two. Huang Kan's face was splattered with blood, and he immediately led his men to surround the enemy who had been cut off by the Crown Princess, and they fought in a group with their swords raised.
"Don't fight, go!" Su Xinyi shouted at Huang Kan.
Huang Kan nodded and immediately led his men to leave.
The swords flashed and the blood rained, and the chaos was unbearable. Su Xinyi led his men to charge, and the team chasing the enemy was in chaos. The fire on the other side of the camp was soaring. When they saw Su Xinyi and others running away very quickly, they cursed and cursed for a while, and immediately turned back to the camp to put out the fire.
At this time, on the wall of Yulinwei, Xie Guan led Guo Hong, Tan Yanfang and others to look at each other in confusion as they looked at the chaos in the enemy camp, not knowing what was going on.
They knew the situation in Zhangping Prefecture, and they would not withdraw troops to support them. Yunxiang Guards were besieged by the Tatars and it was even more impossible for them to come. Who was this?
"Commander, do you want to go out of the city and fight in the chaos?" Guo Hong stared at the enemy camp with flames rising to the sky, ready to move. Such a good opportunity.
Xie Guan made a prompt decision and looked at Guo Hong and said, "I order you to take a thousand cavalry out of the city, and Yan Fang will lead three thousand infantry to follow up."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers on the top of the city were ready, with the longbows opened, with a cold light, and every soldier's face was excited.
They were too frustrated for half a month, and now they didn't know which god burned the enemy camp, and they finally got to vent their anger.
Above the city gate, the horn sounded. The tightly closed city gate opened, and Guo Hong led the remaining thousand cavalry to ride out, holding long swords, with bloodthirsty coldness in their eyes, like a sharp knife, fiercely inserted into the chaotic enemy camp.
The sudden attack made the already chaotic enemy camp even more like a wild horse running away.
"Get on the horse, meet the enemy! Kill!"
Someone in the enemy camp shouted, and then the Tatar man immediately got on the horse to meet the enemy, and the two sides instantly fought each other.
"Crown Princess, Yulin Guard has sent troops!" Huang Kan shouted loudly.
Su Xinyi reined in her horse and looked back. Torches were lit on the wall of Yulin Guard. She immediately asked everyone to stop, and then gestured to Su Qi and Zhan Qiao not far away, and they immediately brought people to respond.
Su Xinyi looked at everyone and said: "Yulin Guard has sent troops, let's join them, rush straight from the left wing, and tear open the enemy's army."
Xie Guan stood on the wall, and suddenly his expression froze, and he saw a team of cavalry wrapped in rolling yellow dust rushing from a distance, reflecting Guo Hong's cavalry, like a closed sharp knife, just cutting the enemy in the middle.
Armor and horses were stained with blood. Su Xinyi's sword cut down the enemy who attacked Guo Hong.
Guo Hong turned around and saw Su Xinyi's face that looked like a killing god. He was a little confused.
Su Xinyi?
Was he hallucinating?
Why is the Crown Princess here?
