Chapter 353 I Will Lead the Charge
Dust is flying in the vast Gobi Desert.
Countless Northern Barbarian cavalry came in formation and marched slowly.
Beneath the vast sky, the dense mass of Northern Barbarian cavalry resembled a dark river, slowly flowing across the Gobi Desert. Anyone who witnessed this scene would feel uneasy.
Because no one knows when this seemingly calm river will suddenly become turbulent, turning into a rolling torrent and destroying everything in front of it.
Water benefits all things without competing.
But water can also be evil, with huge waves that can overturn the world.
The goshawk soars in the sky and occasionally swoops down to bring back weak prey.
On the back of the fiery red Ferghana horse, the little prince of the Northern Barbarians, Tuoba Hun, wrapped himself tightly, with only a pair of hawk-like eyes exposed, staring ahead.
Three riders on swift horses soon emerged from the horizon, holding the Northern Barbarian Wolf flag in their hands.
Tuoba Hun slowly raised his hand, and the guards behind him immediately blew the horn hanging on the horse's back.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry slowly stopped and waited for the approach of the fast horses in front.
"Report—"
As the cavalry approached, the knight on horseback shouted, "The latest news from the Tang Kingdom: the King of Yan is not dead!"
Prince Yan is not dead!
The news came from the mouths of the knights on horseback, and without even needing to be spread, it spread among the Northern Barbarian cavalry at lightning speed.
In just a moment, all the Northern Barbarian cavalry under Tuoba Hun knew the bad news.
The fact that Prince Li Zhen of Yan was still alive was great news for the people of the Tang Dynasty, but it was devastatingly bad news for the people of the Northern Barbarians.
King of Yan, King of Hell!
"My warriors, you are afraid!"
"Facing that demon, you have lost the courage of the descendants of the Canglang!"
"Are you going to be cowards for the rest of your lives?"
"Will you let your children and grandchildren live in fear of that demon forever?"
"Huang Fengkou, I, Tuoba Hun, your little prince, will lead the charge!"
"Descendants of the Gray Wolf will never be afraid!"
"out--"
Tuoba Hun raised the morale of the people around him with just a few simple words. As for the other cavalrymen, there was no need for him, the little prince, to give them instructions one by one, as the people around them would influence them.
They are the descendants of the Gray Wolf, they are fearless!
The war horses galloped, heading straight for Huangfengkou.
Once, in the Battle of Huangfengkou, the Northern Barbarians were defeated, which established the reputation of King Li Zhen of Yan.
Now, he, Tuoba Hun, the little prince of the Northern Barbarians, will take over Huangfengkou and avenge his previous humiliation.
Tuoba Hun brought ten thousand knights with him, each with three horses.
He took a surprise attack posture!
But in fact, Tuoba Hun did not want to take Huangfengkou by surprise. He wanted to take Huangfengkou in a fair and dignified manner to let the Tang people know the bravery of the northern barbarians.
…
At this time at Huangfengkou, on the pass, less than a thousand defenders were on high alert.
News of the war has reached the Tang Dynasty, and reinforcements are on the way, but no one knows when they will arrive.
Before the reinforcements arrive, the only thing they can do is fight to the death!
The Tang Dynasty border troops will not escape unless they die.
The King of Yan had once broken the backbone of the Northern Barbarians at the Yellow Wind Pass. Now, since they were guarding the Yellow Wind Pass, they could not bring disgrace upon the King of Yan's prestige.
"Captain, here we come!"
“Here I come!”
Inside the narrow city of Huangfengkou, Guan Ting, the brave captain commanding a thousand men, was sharpening his sword when his personal soldiers suddenly rushed in.
"Let's go and kill the thief with me!"
Guan Ting picked up his sword and headed outside.
"Wrong, wrong, no, no, yes, reinforcements are coming!"
"What?"
Hearing the words of his personal guard, Guan Ting paused, "Are reinforcements coming?"
"Why so fast?"
When Guan Ting heard the news of the war, he felt that his life was probably coming to an end. But he did not think of escaping from the battlefield, because he almost became a member of the Whirlwind Riders.
Now, he wants to prove himself that even if he doesn't become a member of the Whirlwind Riders, he, Guan Ting, is still a man.
"Captain, let's go and have a look!"
The guard stammered.
Well, Guan Ting’s personal soldiers didn’t stutter because they were excited, but they were stutterers to begin with.
So when the imperial court recruited soldiers, his family happily arranged for him to serve in the army.
Guan Ting also felt sorry for him, so he took him with him.
However, under normal circumstances, he is not responsible for things like delivering messages.
When Guan Ting thought of this, he immediately widened his eyes, thinking that the other personal soldiers had run to the top of the city again.
"God damn it! These brats are turning a deaf ear to my words! If it weren't for the Northern Barbarians coming, I would have given them a beating!"
Guan Ting strode out of his courtyard, intending to go and see the imperial reinforcements first, but he didn't know whether he could fight.
Then, Guan Ting saw several of his other personal soldiers, and even many soldiers guarding the pass, running down from the pass.
"You little bastards, are you going to heaven?"
"You're not guarding the pass, you want to—"
Before he could finish his words, Guan Ting was dumbfounded.
Eight Ox Crossbows!
One after another, the Eight Ox Crossbows were being transported out of the pass, and some people were carrying them up to the pass.
The Eight Ox Crossbow, which required at least six people to lift, was actually carried by one person.
"I……"
Guan Ting swallowed his saliva and looked at Xu Laoer who was carrying the Eight Ox Crossbow to the pass. He had one thought: Is this still a human being?
With such strength, when did the court produce such a powerful man?
However, Guan Ting's shock had just begun.
Because the number of these eight ox crossbows is a bit too many.
"Captain, there, over there, there's more!"
The stuttering soldier pointed to the other side.
There were civilian laborers transporting military supplies, but the armor they wore was higher quality than that of the regular garrison troops such as Huang Fengkou.
Of course, this is not the key point.
The key point is why these so-called civilians all carry powerful crossbows.
No, some people carry strong bows.
Carrying a strong bow and a powerful crossbow, you say this is a civilian laborer escorting supplies?
"shoot--"
The powerful Guan Ting, who was shocked by the reinforcements, was suddenly awakened by a roar. He turned his head and heard the sound of springs on the city wall of the pass, as if a volley of shots was coming from the Eight Ox Crossbow.
Guan Ting’s eyes widened. Isn’t this a prodigal son?
When he hurriedly ran up to the city wall, he was even more shocked!
The Eight-Ox Crossbow was not only placed on the city wall, but also under the city wall.
And in front of the sight, on the city wall, the eight-ox crossbows under the wall were clearly launching a concentrated barrage of fire.
"My goodness, my little sister is right!"
On the city wall of the pass, Xu Laoer touched his upper body shiveringly, feeling a little scared.
Personal bravery is useless in the face of such a powerful weapon.
Thinking of the scene when Fubao waved his little hands and said "Shoot, shoot, shoot", Xu Laoer suddenly felt that practicing martial arts was not so interesting anymore!
That’s not right. If practicing martial arts is useless, why would I practice it every day?
Xu Lao Er looked at his eldest brother.
At this time, Boss Xu was also shocked!
Uh, I did update five chapters and 10,000 words yesterday, but the QRead system didn't give me any face, and the last chapter didn't refresh until after midnight. So, as a member of the "10,000 Followers" party, my reputation is saved! Hahaha, I'm going to continue writing. Please subscribe and recommend!
