Chapter 23 First Battle of Blood Riders

Yan Ji was furious and shouted: "Good thief, he actually divided his troops into two groups. He sent orders to each village and village quickly defend the enemy according to the divided area. Our Yan family cavalry rescued everywhere. As long as we wait until dawn, this barbarian will definitely be unable to fly."

The four riders rushed forward and backwards in a hurry. Yan Ji walked towards Yuzhuang again with two hammers in his hand. He had just arrived in Yuzhuang and before he could inquire about the enemy situation, he saw a fire ignited again on the side of the village that caught fire. The fire was very conspicuous in the dark.

Yan Ji was so angry that he screamed. He heard that there were only two hundred Hu cavalry coming, with a large number of horses, and the troops were led by several Han people. Yan Ji vaguely guessed who the visitor was. He must have been He Bai, the former deputy commander of the white horse. Since he was injured and captured that night, he was stranded in Wuhuan for several months. He must have surrendered to Wuhuan, so he led the two hundred Hu cavalry to take revenge.

Because Yan's Wubao was very cautious, he used the nearby villagers to lure the enemy. Yan Ji ignored him, but the nearby villagers all depended on the Yan family, and there were many tenants. If he ignored him, the villagers would be disinterested in the Yan family, and in the future, the Yan family would find it difficult to gain a foothold in Youbeiping County and Tuyin County.

Yan Ji kept secretly hatred in his heart and shouted, "I didn't shoot you to death that night, and I will kill you here tonight."

Yan Ji thought about it and He Bai attacked and set fire and left. It was nothing more than trying to lure his troops to divide his troops and defeat him with many attacks. Yan Ji couldn't help but snorted coldly. The elite soldiers of the Yan clan were not inferior to those of the Baima Yicong cavalry, and they were well-equipped. More than thirty cavalry were covered with iron armor, and the rest were all wearing leather armor. The weapons in everyone's hands were made of fine iron, which was not comparable to those of the broken copper and iron of the Wuhuan Hu cavalry.

Yan Ji said intimately: It would be bad if this continues. Only by following the will, can He Bai be tempted to attack. He immediately shouted: "Yan Zhong, please lead 70 horses to chase the thieves along the way. I will lead thirty iron-armored warriors to pursue another wave of thieves."

A strong man in his twenties answered his order loudly and roared towards the east. Yan Ji calmed down and led thirty iron-armored warriors to look for the west.

Not to mention Yan Ji, only Yan Zhong led the 70 cavalry and Yan clan soldiers to pursue them all the way. Along the way, there were villagers from villages guiding the way, saying that a large number of horses passed by, so they chased them without stopping. They ran around a dozen miles in a radius for more than an hour, and even went back around Tuyin City, which made the people and horses exhausted.

Yan Zhong also sent someone to Tuyin City for help without authorization, but when Gongsun Yue said that this was He Yan's personal grudge, he could not do anything about it. Yan Zhong then chased after him half-understanding and half-angry, vowing to kill the thief who dared to challenge his master.

Just as he ran back to the vicinity of Yan's Wubao, five or six miles away, suddenly several cavalrymen who "snatch, snatch" were caught in front of him, and some people shouted, "Be careful, there is a masso on the ground."

Before he finished speaking, a rain of arrows shot from both sides. The Yan clan soldiers rushed for a long time, but were caught by the rain of arrows. More than 20 cavalrymen were caught in the horse, and Yan Zhong, who was in the team, was shot first and died with a loud shout.

The Yan clan soldiers were frightened, and there was no one in the dark night. They only heard the sound of bowstrings. With no one in command for a while, they were shot down by dozens of cavalry again. At this time, someone raised their long sword and shouted: "Wubao is right in front. Let's escape back to Wubao first. Come with me."

After saying that, he stretched out his sword and rode forward. When he encountered a rope, he cut it and broke ten ropes, making it easy to move forward. The Yan clan soldiers danced their weapons, resisting the arrows in the dark, and fled wildly towards the Yan clan Wubao.

However, not far away, suddenly ten cavalry came out from the left diagonal stalkers, and did not fight, but shot with bows and arrows from afar. The Yan clan soldiers were not interested in fighting, and they didn't care about casualties, but just ran wildly. After the Yan clan soldiers ran away, there were ten cavalry killing each other, and they all shot with bows and arrows. After the Yan clan soldiers ran away, only a dozen cavalry were left. The Yan clan soldiers were all panicked. If Wubao was not in front, they might have all collapsed and went to flee.

However, not long after running, I saw twenty Hu cavalry in front of me, posing torches, just like the formation of the crescent moon, quietly waiting in front of me. Twenty Hu cavalry behind me were chasing her head. The Yan clan soldiers wailed and wanted to surrender.

Immediately someone shouted loudly: "Don't panic, don't panic, this place is only two miles away from Wubao. I shouted loudly, the third young master will definitely send troops to help. We will be saved."

After saying that, more than a dozen riders shouted loudly: "Sir, please help..."

Soon, fifty cavalry from Yan's Wubao ran out with torches. A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old came with a fierce spear and shouted, "Dare to kill my Yan clan, I dare to kill you, Yan Ding."

After running for only two miles, twenty cavalry on both sides came out of the dark night. After a burst of fire, the Yan clan soldiers holding torches were shot into arrows one after another, and the shrill sounds were endless. In an instant, thirty cavalry were shot down and off the horse.

Yan Ding was shocked and turned around and ran away. He didn't expect that he had just escaped a hundred steps. On the way he came, twenty Hu cavalry came towards him. A general wearing armor holding a double whip shouted, "Where is you going, He Bai is here."

Yan Ding was caught off guard and was knocked away by a whip of long spear. He caught his right hand and grabbed the belt and took it away from the war horse. He then knocked it with an iron whip. Yan Ding fainted immediately. The remaining Yan clan soldiers were wiped out by He Bai's martial blood cavalry.

He Bai looked at the three captains and several deputy captains and asked with a smile: "How many casualties are there in this battle?"

The three captains and Shi said in contempt, "The master was unpredictable to use wars. Only two people died and several were injured in this battle. Our army won a great victory."

He Bai laughed and said, "If our weapons were not as good as them, why would we think of so many ways? Have they packed up their weapons?"

The three captains and Chief Shi said, "There have been all replaced. Next time, they will use such good soldiers to bravely break through the battlefield. There will be no need to use such cowardly methods."

He Bai smiled and scolded: "Cowardly? Haha, being able to defeat the enemy and greatly reduce the casualties of our army is the best way. In my eyes, there is no cowardly statement, only worth it. In this battle, our army exchanged two soldiers for the enemy's 130 cavalry, which is a big profit and a big value. Of course, it is also essential to break through the battle in the future, but it is a decisive battle. Generally, it is better to be cowardly as much as possible."

"Yes, respect the order of the master."

He Bai said to himself: "Yan Ji is not among this team, I believe Fu Xing will have a way to deal with him. At this time, all the soldiers of the Yan clan were killed, and it is time to use Yan Ding to open the Wubao." After that, he led the ninety-eight cavalry towards the Wubao of Yan clan, which was outside the Lixia.

Looking at He Baijun who was approaching from afar, the Yan family's Wubao was in a panic. Finally, an old man with an old face climbed up the city wall and leaned over and shouted: "Which member of the Wuhuan family is the person outside the city? The old Yan family leader is serious and has always had trade deals with Wuhuan people in various departments. Please tell me how Yan family offended your subordinates. I am very grateful to ask for your subordinates' forgiveness."

He Bai smiled and said, "Seriously, you have no way to educate your children, so you have made Yan Gang arrogant and domineering in Youbeiping. Yan Ji even murdered his colleagues in front of the two armies. Yan Ding also married Gongsun Prefect's sister as his wife. Everything is your fault. Quickly open the fort and let me wait in, otherwise, Yan Ding's child's head would not be protected."

After thinking carefully, he asked in surprise: "You are He Bai who surrendered to the Wuhuan people?"

He Bai was stunned and smiled and said, "Seriously, I'm not confused yet. I can guess it's me."

He cried out seriously: "General He Bai, everything is the fault of his old son Yan Ji, but it has nothing to do with his child Yan Ding. Today is his wedding day. I beg General He Bai to forgive his child Yan Ding. I am very grateful..."

No matter how He Bai called the door, it was serious that he would not open it, and he just begged for mercy. He Bai couldn't help but feel a little alert. Yan Gangyuan was serving Gongsun Zan's army, Yan Ji was outside to deal with him, and Yan Ding was captured again. Who else would he rely on? Humph, it must be that he was asking Yan Ji to lead his troops back. Well, let's go and kill Yan Ji first.

Yan Ji led his troops westward to pursue him. Although there were guidance from villagers on the way, Yan Ji did not chase him blindly. He only listened quietly to the sound of horse hooves in the dark night, and then quietly searched for him. Fu Xing was unprepared for a moment and was suddenly attacked by Yan Ji who was ambushing him. Fortunately, the formation was very scattered and there were empty horses to block it. After seven or eight horses died, he ran away from a distance.

Yan Ji bit him tightly and chased him, wanting to fight Fu Xing to fight. However, the Fighting Blood Cavalry was a light cavalry, and there were many empty horses transfers. The two armies left far away soon, and the two sides immediately shot each other with bows and arrows. However, the fleeing people were farther than the chasing people. The Yan clan soldiers were shot and screamed. Fortunately, the iron armor on their bodies was excellent, and the Fighting Blood Cavalry was mostly copper arrows, which could not penetrate the iron armor of the Yan clan soldiers.

After shooting hundreds of arrows, Fu Xing saw that shooting people was useless, so he immediately turned his order to shoot the horse, and finally shot Yan Ji and his gang backed over. Yan Ji was shocked and hurriedly gathered the people who fell off the horse. At this time, only eleven and two riders had horses left.

Yan Ji was very angry that this team of Hu cavalry was despicable and shameless. If he fought hard against the fierce charge, even if there were three times more Hu cavalry in this team, Yan Ji could lead his troops to defeat him in one fell swoop. At this time, the Yan family's young horse was unable to pursue and could only prepare to retreat. Unexpectedly, Fu Xing raised his troops and surrounded him.

Yan Ji had no choice but to use war horses to protect himself, and to defend himself with the Han-hard bow far superior to Wuhuan Bow. Fu Xing could not do it for a while, so he could only order a team of thirty bloody cavalry to break a village, gathering a hundred villagers from the village to make wooden shields and other objects, preparing to attack.

When He Bai led his troops all the way, Fu Xing had just finished creating the wooden shield. He Bai smiled and said, "The cavalry has his own attack method for the turtle hedgehog formation like this. The attack method of your infantry, the martial blood cavalry, are not suitable for the attack method."
