King Zhelan also had a gloomy expression on his face.
His left eyelid has been twitching particularly violently in recent days.
He hurriedly asked Huyan Gu, who said it was good news.
Huyan Gu used a set of elegant words and his usual flattery to make King Zhelan put his worries aside temporarily.
But before long, a scout came to report that in the early morning there were shouts and screams from Feihu Ridge, huge flames and billowing smoke.
King Zhelan never believed that it was Subutai who was ambushed.
He believed that Subuchi's 5,000 troops were hiding on Feihu Ridge, and that at least tens of thousands of Dayin troops would be needed to break through.
King Zhelan knew very well that Pei Lun of Hedong Road could not possibly send so many troops.
Therefore, King Zhelan did not take the scout's report seriously.
I guess soon Subuchi will come to show off to him how many Dayin soldiers he ambushed and how many weapons, armor and supplies he seized.
However, until noon, it rained at Feihu Ridge, the fire was extinguished, and there was no sign of Subutai.
King Zhelan was now getting restless and immediately sent out a large number of scouts to investigate what was going on.
However, without exception, these scouts encountered Zhao Muyun's cavalry on the road.
Either some of the scouts were shot dead on the spot, or the rest were pursued and driven back to King Zhelan's camp.
Subuchi didn't move at all, but Dayin's cavalry appeared!
This made King Zhelan terrified.
Could it be that Dayin’s troops have completely wiped out Subuchi?
Otherwise, how to explain the Dayin cavalry that appeared behind them?
King Zhelan also saw the commotion among the Dayin soldiers in Weizhou City.
He immediately sent a thousand cavalrymen to intercept them.
We must not allow the appearance of these 500-plus Dayin cavalrymen to disrupt the morale of the army and allow the Dayin soldiers in Weizhou City to have other ideas.
Boom!
The hooves of a thousand Tatar cavalrymen trampled the ground, which had just rained, into lumps of mud.
They went to meet the five hundred Dayin cavalrymen.
One thousand versus five hundred, you can figure out the advantage just by thinking with your toes.
Seeing that the Tartars sent out a thousand cavalrymen to intercept, Tong Gu immediately became worried.
Although the more than 500 Dayin cavalry reinforcements brought hope to the brother troops in Weizhou City and boosted their morale, their number was too small!
This is not like a moth flying into a flame!
"Sir, what should we do now?"
The people around him asked Tong Gu again.
"Inform all the archers in the army to go to the top of the city walls and wait for orders!"
"The city gates are ready to open at any time to welcome them in!"
Tong Gu's face was solemn. "I have a feeling these 500 cavalrymen are planning to break through the Tartar blockade and enter Yuzhou! We must provide them with corresponding assistance and cooperation."
"Did you hear that? Go!"
Tong Gu saw the people around him standing there in a daze, and immediately roared.
When his subordinates heard this, they hurriedly passed the order down.
After a while, nearly four thousand archers came up!
Tong Gu mobilized all the archers from the Zhechoufu in the city.
At the same time that Tong Gu mobilized the archers, the Dayin cavalry outside the city had already engaged in a firefight with a thousand Tatar cavalry.
The Dayin cavalry launched a fierce round of arrows at the Tatar cavalry with bows and arrows from two hundred steps away.
"When did they learn to shoot from horseback and shoot so far?"
The captain commanding a thousand Tatar cavalrymen looked shocked and confused.
In his impression, the only qualified cavalry of Dayin was the one thousand cavalrymen from Shuozhou.
However, they died in the Battle of Shuozhou along with the Shuozhou Commandant Yang Jian.
This captain naturally participated in that battle and remembered it vividly.
But after several months, although these Dayin cavalrymen were few in number, their combat effectiveness was obviously completely different from that of the 1,000 cavalrymen from Shuozhou.
Riding and shooting, it’s like walking on flat ground on horseback!
Isn’t this the strength and advantage of the Beidi nomadic people?
How come the Dayin cavalry could be like this?
What's more, it was horse archery from 200 steps away!
Just as the captain was realizing this, arrows shot by five hundred Dayin cavalrymen with composite bows had already shot down one or two hundred of his cavalrymen!
Not only can it shoot far, but it can also be shot with high accuracy!
Qian Chang was not convinced and was angry!
Only the warriors of Beidi could be so powerful. How could the already weak Dayin have cavalry stronger than the Beidi cavalry?
"Follow me closely, and kill!" The captain's eyes were bloodshot. "A mere five hundred cavalrymen dare to challenge us! I'll show them what a warrior on the grasslands is!"
After paying the price of two hundred people, the one thousand Tatars finally narrowed the distance between the two armies to one hundred and fifty steps.
"Shoot it back hard!"
Coming into their comfort zone of range, Qianchang roared fiercely.
The Tatars took off the long bows they were carrying and began to fight back.
Don't underestimate the distance of only fifty steps.
It was just a short distance of fifty steps, but they were filled with anger.
However, just when they were about to fight back, the opponent's horse suddenly turned its head and rushed to the side.
However, they exposed their flanks!
"I thought they were some kind of warriors, but they're all cowards. They're even afraid to charge us head-on!"
When the Tartar captain saw that the enemy did not charge head-on but chose to attack sideways and diagonally, he suddenly became more motivated.
"Shoot them in the flank!"
The Tartar captain naturally also saw the soft spot exposed by the slanting cuts of the 500 Dayin cavalrymen.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At the command, the remaining 800 Tatars continued to ride at full speed and fired at the flank of the 500 Dayin cavalry.
Dense arrows poured down like raindrops.
