According to the villagers' description, the number of Hu people who came to their village to plunder did not seem to be large, only about a hundred people at most.
In view of this situation, Yun Cong'an considered carefully and only selected a few hundred cavalrymen to go with them.
In order to quickly repel the invading enemies and protect the lives and property of the villagers.
Yun Cong'an was well aware of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Hu people, and was afraid that if he was a step too late, those barbaric Hu people would kill and plunder in the village at will, turning this place that was originally full of vitality and warmth into a hell on earth.
So the group rushed away.
The sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, like bursts of thunder.
However, the development of the matter was far beyond their expectations and caught them off guard.
As they just stepped into the quiet bamboo forest leading to the village, a burst of loud and arrogant laughter told them that things were not simple.
Everyone reined in their horses, stopped their pace, and looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, a group of tall and strong Hu people appeared around them without any warning, and surrounded them tightly at an extremely fast speed.
On Yan Cheng's side, from Yun Cong'an to every soldier, they were quickly estimating the number of Hu people.
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, and their faces instantly became solemn.
Yan Cheng's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes revealing confusion and vigilance as he thought about the sudden change in front of him.
Yun Cong'an's face also lost its usual calmness, replaced by deep vigilance and worry.
Some of the soldiers gasped, while others cursed under their breath.
"Didn't they say there were only about a hundred people? There must be at least eight or nine hundred, right?"
Yan Cheng couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, with a hint of confusion in his voice.
He gripped the reins tightly in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his eyes were fixed on the leading Hu people who were laughing wildly.
"What on earth is going on?"
Yan Cheng held the reins with both hands, trying to control the horse, which was a little restless because of the large number of people around it.
He looked carefully at the Hu people opposite him.
Seeing that each of those barbarians had a creepy expression of joy on their faces, as if they were looking at prey, Yan Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes, and his vigilance became even greater.
He tried to find some clues from the expressions and actions of the Hu people to judge their intentions and possible actions.
At this time, the leading Hu people were riding a tall and mighty warhorse, looking arrogantly at the people who were surrounded.
Seeing that they all looked incredulous, I instantly felt relieved and laughed wildly with my head tilted back.
The laughter echoed in the bamboo forest, making people shudder.
Then he talked a lot to Yan Cheng and the others.
Yun Cong'an has lived in the northwest for many years, and the time he spent fighting wits and courage with the Hu people has made him very familiar with their language.
When he heard what the leading Hu man said, his face instantly became extremely ugly, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.
He lowered his voice and said, "He said we had really taken the bait. He said we Daxia people were stupid and that he would capture us and eat us alive."
In fact, the Hu leader did not say it exactly like this. Yun Cong'an's translation was more elegant.
Yan Cheng was right beside him, and took in every word he said.
Hearing these insulting and provocative words, Yan Cheng's pupils seemed to darken a little, as if a ball of anger was burning in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth, the anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt.
Why did the Hu people say they took the bait?
Yan Cheng's brain was working rapidly.
There is only one truth: they were deceived by that villager.
But why did the villager deceive them?
Are they threatened by the Hu people?
Or is there some other ulterior motive?
Yun Cong'an thought the same. He grabbed the villager who was sent by the soldiers to report the news and asked him angrily why he lied to them.
The villager nearly fell off his horse, clutching Yun Cong'an's arm tightly, and said tremblingly: "General, I don't want this to happen either. You are threatening me with the lives of my family members."
It really is a threat.
When did the Hu people become so smart?
“Despicable!”
Yun Cong'an cursed the leader of the Hu people in the Hu language.
The leader of the Hu people: "???☉⊿?????"
Yun Cong'an's face turned even darker. When did the Hu people realize that those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters?
The Hu people blew the horn, and the first battle Yan Cheng encountered in the north began.
In the fierce battle, the blood dyed the bamboo forest red and the shouts of killing were deafening.
Yan Cheng was wearing heavy armor and holding a long sword. Every time he swung the sword, he brought great force. Wherever the sword flashed, the Hu people fell down one after another.
He has a strong and agile posture and moves freely on the battlefield. Occasionally, any soldier who sees his heroic appearance will couldn't help but admire him. No wonder the Marquis values him so much.
Leng Yan held a spear with the tip flashing with cold light. His spear skills were sharp and precise, and every thrust could accurately hit the enemy's vital points.
Yun Cong'an watched occasionally, and while killing the Hu people, he felt sorry in his heart that Leng Yan was unwilling to join the Northwest Army and be invincible for Daxia.
After a bloody battle, Yan Cheng gradually gained the upper hand.
No matter how many Hu people there are, they are no match for the cavalry carefully trained by the Marquis of Zhenbei.
What's more, they have several masters who have practiced internal strength.
When victory was in sight, Daxia first paid tribute to the fallen soldiers and then began to clean up the battlefield.
