Chapter 89 Armored Cavalry (additional update)
“Bang the drum, hold on!

The thieves are brutal and we have no way out.

The day the city is destroyed will be the day we are buried! "

Commander Du knew that Xiba had become ruthless, and perhaps this was the last attack.

These brutal Huns drove thousands of captured people into the front army, forced them to advance with swords, and defended the main siege force behind them.

For this reason, Commander Du personally went to the drum beating platform at the top of the city, threw away his arms and beat the war drums, arousing the bloody courage of the officers and soldiers defending the city.

But his heart was actually mostly cold.

As the saying goes, one knows one's own hardships.

Although Loufan Pass was once known as the Northern Pass of the Han Dynasty, that was hundreds of years ago.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sounded the clarion call to counterattack the Huns, he drove the Huns from the north and sealed the wolf in Xu, and with the joint efforts of subsequent Han emperors, generals and ministers, Yanmen County has been expanded from a mere 5 counties to 14 counties, and the border defense of the Han Dynasty has also been expanded. From the north of Loufangguan on the edge of the Great Wall to nearly a hundred miles north of Pingcheng (now Datong, Shanxi).

In this way, Loufangguan became an inland area. Over the past few hundred years, its military use had already declined, and it became a gate city specializing in collecting customs duties.

Even the full complement of 2000 guards here is now only 600. The renovation of the customs defense has only gradually begun to be taken seriously in recent years as the pressure on border defense has increased.

Now these Huns were coming with great force. They went crazy and suddenly began to attack the city fortress.

After a few days, almost all of Du Du's 600-man garrison were injured, and the number of battle dead was about to exceed . Du Du himself also suffered two arrow wounds.

They can still persist to this day, thanks to the bravery of these border soldiers.

They have developed proficiency in bow and horse skills in an environment of constant fighting since childhood, and their accuracy in drawing bows and firing arrows is not inferior to those of the barbarian warriors.

Taking advantage of the height difference of the city fortress, the rain of arrows from the Han soldiers at the top of the wall put constant pressure on the Hu people below the city.

but now……

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!"

Commander Du shouted anxiously, but there was a sparse rain of arrows at the top of the city.

"These are our fellow villagers, and there are many children!"

The biggest difference between the border guards and the soldiers of the Bingzhou Corps is that they are all peasant soldiers serving locally.

Many of the villagers in front of me are from their hometowns.

Now that their hometown was burned down and their fellow villagers were taken hostage, their morale suddenly dropped and they lost their former courage.

Commander Du was so anxious that he grabbed the crossbow from the soldier on top of the wall, opened the bow and fired.

As expected, the barbarians who were hiding behind the people pulled over the people around them and blocked the arrow.

"Commander!"

"We will all die if the barbarians come up! Shoot arrows!"

The arrows rained sparsely, but to no avail.

It’s over.

The barbarians pushed the people closer and closer.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Got it!
The leader Sheba laughed three times happily, very proud of his strategy.

Sure enough, there are so many hard-nosed people in this world, and most of them are reluctant to take action.

Dog Commander, I have spent hundreds of people here. When we enter the city, I will skin you and cramp you!

Yes, Siba has now opened the "champagne", and this stubborn barrier seems to be within the palm of his hand.

Look, the dismounted archers who have reached the shooting position are throwing shots towards the city. After one round, there is almost no resistance anymore.

The ladder was in place, and the brave barbarians began to climb the city, grabbing the honor of climbing first and the generous rewards after the city was broken.

"Attack, attack!"

Xiba gave an order, and the reserve troops of the rear army, which had been unable to restrain themselves for a long time, came out in full force, patted their horses and rushed to the city, just waiting for the door to open.

Then...the city gate opened as expected.

It’s over! Commander Du's face turned pale. He never expected that the city gate would open first.

As if echoing Commander Du's thoughts, the drum sound at the top of the city suddenly stopped.

The barbarian knights were overjoyed, and regardless of their formation, they all swarmed forward, whistling, waving their sabers, and ready to happily trample all the resisters in the city.

However, Siba let out a sigh.

Because it was obvious that his warriors had only just arrived at the city, so how could they open the door so quickly?
"Congratulations, leader, the Han soldiers have opened the city and surrendered!"

The clever Qianqi Commander immediately flattered him.

It turns out that was the case. Siba laughed three times after hearing this:
"Are you thinking of surrendering now?

--late!
Inform the entire army to massacre the pass without leaving any one behind! "

At the same time, Xiba was at the peak of his complacency, the moment when he issued the order to massacre the pass. Woo—

Woohoo——

Suddenly, the sound of the horn resounded across the sky, across the battlefield, and attracted everyone's attention.

Following the sound, more than a hundred knights filed out from under the gate of the city tower. The leading knight, a knight in silver armor and red robes, riding a white horse and holding a large spear that was eight feet long, was particularly eye-catching.

Note, it is not Zhangba which is one foot and eight inches before, but Zhangba which is one foot and eight feet!

Of course this person is Su Yao!

"what?!"

"Armor Cavalry?"

"How?!"

“And is that spear too long???”

The total length of the big spear is almost as long as three or four horses, and it looks a bit eye-catching.
And that knight is still so stable? !

There was some confusion among the Hu Qi who rushed to the city gate.

But
"You're so panicked, there are only a few armored cavalry, what can more than a hundred of them do - drown them!"

Yes, Su Yao had no more than 14 Han cavalry, including 8 Cheng Lian cavalry and Zhang Liao cavalry. The rest were all errant cavalry followers led by Jin Fangyan.

The precious equipment obtained from Jinyang's arsenal only consisted of five people, including Su Yao, Zhang Liaochenglian and others.

But there were more than 600 Hu Qihou troops coming in!
It’s almost a one-to-six troop strength difference!

But the knights showed no fear on their faces, and all their spears stood quietly behind Su Yao, waiting for his orders.

"Go, go, go!"

"Kill them all!"

"The head of that fool in red robe belongs to me, no one can take it from me!"

Closer, closer, Hu Qi is only five hundred steps away.

Su Yao leveled the horse's shaft, gently clamped the horse's belly, and kicked the horse to increase speed.

Then all the riders followed suit in sync, slowly increasing their speed.

By the time they walked out of the city gate, they had already reached a medium speed and were less than 250 steps away from Hu Qi.

"Crazy! This kid is crazy!"

Only then did Commander Du see that those leaving the city were the "reinforcements" that entered the city under darkness yesterday.

Yes, "reinforcements."

It is said that these people came to support them on the orders of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General. He was quite surprised when he called the door after closing the door.

As a result, after seeing only a hundred people, I could only thank them reluctantly, not thinking that they could play any big role.

There are only five armored cavalry and the others are all lightly armored or even unarmored Hu cavalry followers. With just a few people, what can they do if they rush out to face two or three thousand enemy troops?

I originally wanted them to help defend the city, and the barbarians who climbed up the wall were attacked. Unexpectedly, they did not obey the order, but now they opened the city gate and attacked without authorization.

Isn't this a gift? ! It’s very harmful! ! !
Then, right in front of these people.
"what?!"

"Gu..."

"Eh-"

The long horse's trunk flashed with cold light, rolled up like a dragon's blood, and flew past!

"Destroying the enemy's formation with force is like looking at the sky breaking through the clouds!"

The Huqi who were laughing and having sweet dreams just a moment ago were like tissue paper, being torn apart easily.

Unstoppable! ! !

Especially the person who spoke so arrogantly was the first to have his body torn apart and became the trophy in front of Su Yao's horse blade.

Amidst the wailing sounds, Su Yao easily completed more than 10 kills in a single attack!
The row of bloody corpses instantly shattered Hu Qi's psychological defense.

Six hundred of them rushed against more than a hundred, but they were defeated? And was passed through in one breath?

The other Hu Qi didn't understand what was going on. They originally just wanted to wait for Su Yao and the others to be stopped and then surround them for a close hand-to-hand fight.

Now when I saw people running behind me, I was completely confused.

This is the terrifying impact exerted by Su Yao, who is equipped with armor and a horse in hand:
"kill!"

Su Yao would not let the enemy ride this chaotic stall.

The city gate in front of them has been quietly closed, and all Hu Qi are trapped under the city.

It's time to kill!
I saw Su Yao shaking his horse, throwing out a blood flower, and started the second round of charge amidst the sound of the horn!

 Thank you all for your enthusiastic support. I am a new part-time writer, and I really can’t compare to those tentacle monsters. I will give you an extra chapter today, and there really isn’t a drop left =. =
