Chapter 2591: The Allied Forces Appear
The spring in Hami is beautiful.
In the season when all things revive, Hami is filled with the sights and smells of spring.
The breath of spring is hard to describe, is it full of vitality? It seems to be a bit missing.
A group of scouts were wandering on the grassland. Xie Shiliu listened to his subordinates' description of spring. Most of them missed women, so he cursed: "Spring is a woman? Are you crazy about missing women?"
A group of scouts laughed, and someone said: "Sir, brothers have been here for three years, where are the women?"
Xie Shiliu scolded: "Your wife takes care of the children at home, manages the family business, and takes care of the elderly. How can you bear to mess around outside?"
The men burst into laughter, and then someone said: "Sir, the coalition forces came down to Hami City last time. When will they attack the city?"
Xie Shiliu watched the two scouts disappear in front, turned around and said cautiously: "It's hard to say. Last time, there were more than 3,000 enemy troops, and that was just the size of the rangers. Whether they were all out... We still have to look at the sentry over there at Yili."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his men staring blankly ahead, with expressions of surprise on their faces, and then slowly turned back.
In the distance, more than a thousand riders were riding towards them.
And the two scouts he just sent out are right in front.
"It's our ranger!"
Xie Shiliu knew from the speed of the friendly troops that an enemy force was pursuing him, so he shouted: "Follow me!"
He raised his arms and his cloak rustled in the wind.
He rushed over immediately,
His subordinates followed suit.
They circled around from the left. When they circled around the friendly forces, someone in front screamed: "Tens of thousands of people! Sir, this is the main force of the enemy's army!"
Xie Shiliu squinted his eyes and looked ahead, looking at the cavalry coming one after another, and said: "This is only two days away from Hami City. The enemy wants to boost their morale. Brothers, come with me!"
He lightly kicked the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse neighed and rushed out with all its strength.
There were more than 10,000 enemy cavalry and more than 100 Ming army scouts, and the two sides were galloping towards each other.
The war horse galloped, and the white air it sprayed was instantly left behind.
"He's a scout from the Ming Army!"
The captain of ten thousand in the enemy army said contemptuously: "Drown them!"
The long sword was unsheathed, and the coalition soldiers smiled ferociously when facing their weak opponents.
Xie Shiliu looked back and roared when he saw that no one under his command was leaving.
"left!"
When the distance between the two sides was more than one mile, Xie Shiliu led his men to evacuate from the left.
This is to lure the enemy!
However, the enemy army only separated more than 300 people to pursue them, and the main force was still chasing the Ming army's rangers.
Xie Shiliu turned around and saw this situation and knew he couldn't be kind.
He could evacuate with his men, but his morale was lost.
"Yuto!"
The scouts took out their crossbows and turned to face the enemy.
After a wave of crossbow arrows, Xie Shiliu led his men to escape again.
Naturally, the enemy force that suffered a blow refused to give up and clung to them.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The specially made long fuse allowed the grenade to be detonated for a longer period of time. The enemy's middleman was thrown off his horse, and the remaining horses were also running around in panic.
"Kill the enemy!"
The scout's grenade is specially made. If it needs to be detonated in a short time, the fuse can be shortened.
The Ming army scouts rushed in. Although the enemy army was outnumbered and powerful, the Ming army took the opportunity to cover up and kill them in the chaos.
After chasing and escaping, when he approached the main force of the enemy, Xie Shiliu stood up and roared: "You sons of bitches, do you know your grandpa Xie!"
Captain Ten Thousands squinted at Xie Shiliu while he was galloping, and someone behind him shouted: "Sir, you are the elite of the Ming army!"
The movement of more than 10,000 horsemen galloping was too great, and the Ming army of more than 100 people was like ants harassing the surroundings. It felt like ants shaking a tree.
But Xie Shiliu was extremely slippery and only used crossbow arrows to shoot enemy troops from the side. Once the enemy troops rushed over, he would retreat with his men.
Each of them had two horses, and their horses were in excellent condition, at least much better than the enemy troops who had chased them all the way from Yilibaili, so they were never caught.
"bed bugs!"
Captain Ten Thousand Angrily saw the Ming army in front getting further and further away until they could no longer be seen, so he shouted: "Destroy them."
…
At the top of Hami City, Yang Xiong put down the telescope in his hand and said: "Yi Li is a good place, but it is not a good idea to just sit there and have nothing."
As one of the civil servants of Hami City, Lin Chu didn't care about this.
"Food is constantly being transferred, Mr. Yang. The granaries in the city are already full and must be built new. Also, if the city is destroyed, the food will be used by the enemy!"
There was more anger in Yang Xiong's eyes, but he finally suppressed his anger when he remembered Lin Chu's strength and loyalty when he led the people to seek survival around Hami.
"We have almost 20,000 people here, plus the civilians who have not left, and the various weapons in the warehouse. Do they want to attack Hami City? I am waiting for them to come."
Lin Chu saw the scout appearing in the distance: "The scout is back, I hope it's good news."
Yang Xiong licked his lips and said: "I have said that if you are trapped in one place for a long time, your morale will drop, so the coalition forces will not stay in Yili for a long time. They are coming."
A gust of spring breeze blew by, and Lin Chu took a deep breath against the spring breeze.
"They're back!"
The scout quickly rushed into the city gate and then ran up to the top of the city.
"Sir, the rangers encountered enemy forces..."
"how many people?"
"More than 10,000 riders, there should be more to follow."
Yang Xiong sneered: "We have more than 10,000 cavalry here. It would be strange if they don't have follow-up, otherwise I would dare to swallow them all in one gulp."
Lin Chu smiled bitterly: "Lord Yang, we don't have many cavalry! At most, we are evenly matched."
Yang Xiong glared at him, then turned around and shouted: "Assemble! All cavalry assemble!"
Lin Chu knew that he couldn't persuade Yang Xiong, so he ordered: "The rest of the people quickly go to the top of the city and tell the city to prepare."
The atmosphere of war broke out instantly.
The people in the city went home, the civilians began to carry the materials for defending the city to the top of the city, and the infantry lined up to climb the top of the city.
"Attack!"
Yang Xiong drew out his huge double-edged long sword and rushed out of the city gate first.
Ten thousand cavalry went away, and Lin Chu said with a headache: "We should guard Hami carefully, not take the initiative to attack!"
...
One chasing and one fleeing, this is the first time that the coalition has taken the initiative in recent years.
In the past two days, the coalition forces have bitten the tail of the Ming army several times, but those Ming soldiers are fearless and the ones who are left behind actually took the initiative to break away from the main force and rushed into the middle of the pursuers to buy time for the main force to escape.
At this moment, the Ming army in front is not far away, and the captain is thinking about whether he can leave more Ming soldiers this time.
"Charge!"
The coalition forces in front began to draw their bows and arrows.
Amid the flying arrows, more than ten Ming soldiers who were left behind fell off their horses.
"Sir, I'm going!"
A centurion in the Ming army shouted, then turned his horse's head and rushed forward with his subordinates.
The two sides walked towards each other and collided in an instant.
The centurion took the lead and killed three people in a row, and actually rushed in.
The captain said angrily: "Kill him!"
The coalition's long swords leaned on the horses and began to slash one by one.
One by one, the enemies rushed over from the side. After the centurion blocked five swords, he could no longer block the sixth sword.
As soon as the man fell off the horse, the horse's hooves came towards him...
More than 80 Ming soldiers only delayed the pursuers for a moment.
But the Ming army in front suddenly stopped.
The captain's eyes were slightly cold, and he shouted: "Go for it."
On the battlefield, courage is often more useful than strategy.
