Chapter 125 An Fei's Death
Heavy cavalry is most afraid of fighting. Their horsepower and manpower are consumed very quickly. After only half an hour, their defeat has been exposed and cannot be concealed. Now even the strongest warriors are retreating.
An Fei, the leader of the Yue Lun tribe, began to evacuate, and they wanted to seek help from the nearest tribe.
Yue Lun's cavalry fought hard to hold off the White Wolf Knights for an hour, but then they were completely defeated.
This one hour was enough for the leader to leave with his capable followers.
Women are not killed casually in battles between tribes.
All the Anfei leader needs to do is find helpers and come back to defeat the Wu tribe to regain his cattle and pastures.
However, the White Wolf Cavalry also followed with auxiliary troops, like a vicious wolf that could not be shaken off, biting tightly and not letting go.
History always repeats itself in a surprising way. This is just a replay of what happened to the Wuda tribe back then.
After a day and a night, the more than 200 people who escaped from Yue Lun's troops were scattered.
At this time, there were only a few dozen guard cavalrymen following An Fei.
Under the pursuit and blockade of the White Wolf Cavalry, An Fei and others were driven into the Huangsha River. The White Wolf Cavalry slowed down, giving An Fei a chance to catch his breath.
At this point, An Fei remembered that he could go directly into Wu Dynasty along the Huangsha River and find a place to hide.
The Wuda tribe claimed to be on good terms with the Wu Dynasty, so they would not dare to start a war within the Wu Dynasty.
His idea was good. If An Fei broke into other towns, Zhao Tingduo would definitely be scolded.
But he didn't know that at the end of the Huangsha River was not a prosperous village or town, but a high stone wall, and a sharp long sword reflected by the blazing fire on the wall.
This is a garrison of the Wu Dynasty!
When did the guard post appear here?
Must exit immediately!
However, the Huangsha River, which winds for hundreds of miles, is located deep in the mountains, and the mountain roads on both sides are rugged, making it unsuitable for horseback riding.
Only the ice surface of the river was flat, and he couldn't retreat just because he wanted to.
At this time, the Wu cavalry that followed closely had blocked the retreat.
An Fei gathered his men. Now he still had more than 80 men and cavalrymen, but everyone was tired and injured.
After a day and night of pursuit and several disastrous defeats, they completely lost the courage to fight the Wuda tribe head-on, and they had no choice but to rush through Suijin Pass.
There are villages and towns behind the pass. As long as we capture the people of Wu Dynasty as hostages, we can return to the grassland.
When An Fei and his men appeared in the firelight of Suijin Pass, Captain Luo looked at the Dilu people below, wearing fur robes and wolfskin hats, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Here they come, here they come, military merit has arrived!"
In his eyes, these Di Lu people were walking gold, silver and jewelry. As long as he made more military achievements, he would be promoted to the sixth rank military position, centurion, and command 500 soldiers.
Although Suijin Pass is strong, it is not actually majestic and is even a little inconspicuous.
It is the inner city gate, two meters high, spanning the two banks, with a bridge hole at the bottom for flood discharge, and serves as a water storage bridge.
Because it is across the river, there are no chevaux de frise trenches in front of the pass. Now it is winter and there is not even any water stored.
Therefore, the flat ground and the low wall gave people the feeling that as long as they got close and jumped on their horse, they could cross over.
It was this illusion that led Yue Lun's troops to take the final step towards death.
A dozen horses began to rush towards the wall with shouts.
The speed is not fast, it's just a test.
Captain Luo didn't give him any chance to test.
There was a drum beating on the wall, and more than a dozen archers shot arrows at the same time. Suddenly, people below shouted and horses neighed, and there were screams of pain.
These were all well-trained Zhenbei Army soldiers. After a rain of arrows, more than a dozen horses that came to test the waters all fell to the ground, occupying most of the river.
An Fei and others had to move out of the arrow's range.
"Captain An Fei, if we go in batches like this, we will be strangled by the Wu Dynasty army. Give the order to charge directly!"
A tribal warrior rushed to Anfei with an arrow stuck in his fur coat.
Now that their retreat has been cut off, if they are trapped inside this small wall, all of them will be shot to death one by one.
Rather than dying in such a cowardly way, it is better to give it a try.
"good!"
An Fei glared fiercely at Captain Luo on the wall of Suijin Pass. If he was allowed to break into the pass, he would chop off the head of this Wu Dynasty general.
This time, more than thirty horses began to gather strength, and after a whistle, they all rushed towards Suijin Pass.
As long as you get the horse as close to the wall as possible, you can step on the horse's back and jump over the wall.
As long as one person climbs up the wall, he can tear a hole in this small wall.
Under the heavy horse hooves, the ice surface of the Huangsha River began to crack under the trampling of dozens of horses. The heart-wrenching cracking sound was like a death song in the Hall of Yama.
The cavalry of thirty horses rushed forward rapidly in the narrow river channel like a rolling torrent, and in a few breaths they were within the range of the bows and arrows.
"Shoot!" A short copper whistle sounded, and the archers on the wall didn't need to aim, they just needed to randomly pull the bow towards the bottom.
But at this moment, An Fei and others also drew their bows and arrows and launched a counterattack.
For a moment, arrows rained down from both sides. Although the people of Yue Lun's tribe were in a mess, the tribe's archers were still able to draw their heavy bows.
I saw two strong men pulling out large horn bows that were much larger than those of ordinary people. There were two muffled buzzing sounds, and two arrows shot towards the wall.
The Zhenbei Army was raining arrows, and no one noticed the arrows flying from the Di Lu people.
Amid the screams below, the two soldiers on the wall also screamed.
One man was shot through the shoulder blade and fainted immediately. Another man was shot in the thigh and was nailed firmly into the crevice of the rock behind him. The archers were suddenly in a little chaos.
At this moment, a man jumped high from the bottom of the wall and rushed towards the parapet, waving the scimitar in his hand and slashing at the defenders beside the wall.
"Wang Qi, be careful!"
The defender was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the Di Lu people. He did not dodge the sharp scimitar and was only able to escape by being kicked over by the old soldier next to him.
The Di Lu man who had just jumped up had no time to be happy before he was stabbed into a sieve by several long knives on the parapet and fell off the wall.
After two rounds of tests, Suijin Pass remained intact.
Outside the pass, the river was blocked by horses and human corpses.
By the light of the fire on the wall, An Fei could see large pools of brown on the ice. That was blood!
He had seen too much blood in this day and night.
Unfortunately, that blood belonged to his own men, not a single drop was from the enemy.
There is no way forward and there are pursuers behind.
An Fei's face turned pale as paper and his whole body was trembling. He closed his eyes and drew out his hidden knife.
Human collapse happens in an instant.
He had wielded his scimitar and chopped off countless heads of the Di and Wu peoples, and had encountered countless dangers. Today, he finally felt the pain of being at his wit's end.
When on the verge of death, all the pride and strength are gone, only the last bit of face is supporting.
He was an eagle on the Dilu grassland, and he would rather die than be captured by the people of the Wu Dynasty.
"Chief Anfei!"
"Head!"
Several guards noticed something was wrong and rushed over shouting.
