Chapter 2047 Raid! Raid!
Spring is here, and flowers are blooming, that's what we're talking about in the south.
It's still cold on the grassland.
The horses' hooves rumbled past, and the tender grass waiting for its chance in the mud was trampled into the melted snow water, and then slowly stretched out.
Fang Xing even had his face wrapped in a scarf, and he had a pair of sheepskin gloves on his hands, and was surrounded by servants.
The scouts kept going back and forth, and now there was no need to identify the direction at all, just follow the large footprints trampled by Zhu Gaoxu's men.
A team of scouts came galloping and said, "My Lord, His Highness is already fifty miles away."
Fang Xing nodded, and after the scouts left, he cursed, "He's crazy. If he's held back by Turpan, the surprise attack will become a strong attack, and it will be a big trouble!"
Lin Qunan looked back at the artillery cart behind him and said, "My Lord, we're being held back by the artillery cart."
After the snow melted, the grassland was a little muddy, but it was still good.
"We are still ninety miles away from Turpan City, speed up!"
...
"The cavalry will strangle them!"
Zhu Gaoxu rarely got a chance to fight, so he almost went all out.
More than a hundred people were running in front, and Zhu Gaoxu led the whole army to kill them without hesitation.
The momentum of the galloping horses was amazing, and Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "We are almost there, don't stop, hurry up and kill all the way!"
The enemy scouts in front were caught up, and the two sides started fighting.
A wave of crossbows killed half of the opponents. Just as the cavalry of the Ming army was ready to kill them all, the sound of horse hooves behind them approached, and they hurriedly rushed forward.
The large group of cavalry instantly overwhelmed these enemies, and then galloped towards the earthen city in the distance.
On the earthen city, the alarmed enemy troops were looking around in a panic. When they saw the smoke and dust, someone screamed, "Enemy attack..."
This is not the ancient city of Gaochang, but after Wai Si left, Pu Gu and Wu En sent people to garrison here. Because there were not many people, they built a small earthen city temporarily.
The screams alarmed the people in the city,
and there was a commotion.
When a thousand households reached the top of the city, the Ming army was only two miles away from the earthen city.
The thousand households looked pale and shouted, "Go and report! Go and report to His Highness that the Ming army is attacking!"
"Sir, there are enemy troops on the left and right!"
The thousand households looked to the left and their faces turned pale.
How could Zhu Gaoxu's use of troops be so simple? He had already sent out cavalry, and now they were flanking from the left and right, blocking the escape route of the people in the city.
"Everyone come to the city! Quick!"
"Prepare your bows and arrows!"
Before they were ready, the Ming army had already rushed to the city.
This was a wave-shaped formation. Everyone in the front bent their bows and put arrows on them, and then let go when they rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
The earthen city wall, which was no more than three meters high, was immediately planted with arrows. Amid the screams, the first wave of Ming army cavalry had already returned around the left side.
Who said that the Ming Dynasty could not run and shoot?
The second wave of cavalry shot arrows again, and there was no one on the top of the city.
Zhu Gaoxu was at the end. When he saw that the city gate was closed, he shouted: "Blast it!"
They brought the medicine bag given by Fang Xing on this trip, and immediately a team of cavalry took the opportunity to rush over when the top of the city was covered by arrows.
The so-called door, the crack in the door could actually see inside.
The people in the city gate were stunned when they saw the Ming army rushing over, but they didn't bring the logs to hit the city gate.
Put down the medicine bag, ignite it, and run away...
"Boom!"
After the top of the city trembled for a while, the city gate had disappeared in the smoke.
"Kill the enemy!"
Zhu Gaoxu pointed his long sword forward, and countless cavalry swarmed in from the city gate where the smoke had not yet dissipated.
Zhu Gaoxu rushed into the city and saw people running away everywhere. There were only a hundred people resisting, so he ordered: "Gather the prisoners, leave 500 people to guard, and the rest of you, follow me to continue the raid!"
As he said this, he rushed into the middle of the enemy, and when he penetrated, he left a pile of corpses behind him.
"Follow up!"
A large group of cavalry passed through the city, and the 500 people left immediately began to clear out.
When Fang Xing arrived, he could only smile bitterly at the cheering Ming army on the top of the city.
"My Lord, His Highness has been gone for a long time!"
This guy!
Fang Xing said helplessly: "Follow up, follow up!"
...
Beshbalik, Pugu looked at the reinforced city wall and patted it with his hand.
"Pugu, can you take down two sheep?"
The scout came back the day before yesterday and said that he saw a large convoy coming from Xinghe City from a distance, and then it was driven away by the cavalry.
Needless to say, Wu En knew that this was the Ming people constantly strengthening the strength of Xinghe City.
So his fear deepened, and now that Miergan could not give him a sense of security, the tenacious Pugu naturally became his object of warmth.
Pugu looked into the distance and said confidently: "As long as we get started, there is no enemy that Roumi cannot defeat!"
The strength of Roumi lies in the fact that it faces enemies from both the east and the west. They struggled from weakness and gradually established a strong country.
And all this was achieved through war!
"We are strong in war, and we will be even stronger."
Wu En touched his chest and said: "I feel panic, Pugu, I have never been so panicked, but I can't find the reason."
Pugu felt that he was both a father and a mother. If he hadn't been far away from his homeland, people like Wu En would have been dealt with by him long ago.
He stared at Wu En and said expressionlessly: "You are afraid because the people from Dongchang have escaped, and you are afraid that Mingren will take crazy revenge. But I want to tell you that I went on an expedition to kill a few spies. , that’s something only a madman would do, so don’t worry!”
Wu En shook his head and said, "That's just one of them. What I'm most worried about is Meergan's ambition."
Pugu frowned and said: "Halie is in chaos, and Meerqian is ending this chaos. What are you thinking about? Isn't the appearance of a more powerful Halie what you expected?"
Wu En smiled strangely and said, "What do you think... no matter how powerful Harlie is... compared to Ming Dynasty?"
Pugu said disapprovingly: "You are scared to death..."
"Bang!"
A tea bowl hit the wall with a loud bang and turned into powder.
Pu Gu was stunned.
"Can you beat him?"
Wu En stood up suddenly, waved his hands, and said excitedly: "Pugu, can you defeat the Demon God? Can Hallie defeat the Ming Dynasty? Tell me, can you?"
Pugu took a step back and frowned: "You're scared. Yes, I can't defeat him. That's because Rou Fan can't provide us with effective support. Otherwise, I'm confident that the Demon God will become a joke."
At this time, there was the sound of horse hooves outside, very fast.
Wu En and Pugu looked at the door at the same time...
Horse racing in the city must be a military emergency.
"Bang!"
He didn't knock on the door, but opened the door rudely.
Wu En and Pugu didn't mean to be angry, and they both stood up at the same time.
A scout stood outside the door and said in panic: "Your Highness, the Ming army has been discovered..."
Wu En asked dully: "In which direction?"
Pugu asked calmly: "How many people are there? How far away are they from here?"
The scout gasped: "More than a thousand people are coming from the direction of Turpan, five miles away from here..."
The room was quiet for a moment, and Pugu was the first to rush out.
"Assemble! Everyone assemble!"
Wu En was still in the room, and he murmured: "This is a scout, a ranger, and there must be Akito's army behind him..."
Horns echoed in the city, and countless people began to gather with weapons in hand.
Amidst the flying dust, the sound of horse hooves in the distance became increasingly clear.
"Go to the top of the city!"
Pugu hurriedly led the people to the city head in the crowd.
"Where's Unn?"
"Your Highness is still in the house!"
