Pang Shouyang prepared quickly and led the army out in less than a cup of tea.
But the formation was very disorganized.
After they left the city, the cavalry only rushed forward, and the infantry was left far behind.
The army was completely in disarray and had no order at all.
But this huge general didn't care about the cavalry and infantry behind him. He was only concerned with commanding his 3,000 cavalry to charge towards the Northern Barbarian camp.
This is not a march or a war.
The Northern Barbarian Cavalry are good at fighting and are not fools, as they caused such a big commotion.
By the time they reached the vicinity of the Northern Barbarians' camp, thousands of Northern Barbarians' cavalry were already ready for battle. The vanguard cavalry took the lead in attacking, and in one round, they dispersed the cavalry led by Pang Shouyang.
At this moment, Pang Shouyang was still two or three miles away from the infantry and archers behind him.
This was not just a small group of people, but a team of several thousand people. However, under his leadership, they became a group of guerrillas, and soon they were surrounded by the Northern Barbarian cavalry that appeared on both sides.
When Pang Shouyang saw that something was wrong, he immediately shouted and asked the army to rearrange its formation.
But the Northern Barbarian cavalry did not give him this opportunity. They moved left and right, and the vanguard tore through the cavalry's defense. Soon, they defeated the front army and made them flee in disarray.
These reinforcements had undergone a forced march and had not yet rested. Now they had run another fifty miles. Even a body of iron could not withstand such torture.
None of them had much morale to begin with.
Besides, they were facing the Northern Barbarian cavalry, which had strong combat capabilities and obvious advantages in warhorses.
Looking at the chaotic team in the distance, Linghu Xiaoshan was speechless.
Why would they send such a idiot to support us?
The front army was dispersed, Pang Shouyang was completely panicked, and immediately blew the horn to retreat.
The troops under Pang Shouyang suddenly rushed towards Tianyong City as if they had been pardoned.
However, this disorganized retreat gave the northern barbarians an opportunity to ambush and kill them.
They chased all the way until they stopped ten miles outside Tianyong City.
By the time Pang Shouyang and his men fled back to Tianyong City, the sun had already set.
It was not easy for him along the way. Not only did he lose his armor, but he was also in a miserable state.
He was hit in the back shoulder by the Northern Barbarian archer, it was terrible.
If the guards that Pang Shouyang brought with him were not all assassins raised by the Pang family.
If these warriors had not tried their best to protect Pang Shouyang, he would have died long ago.
In this battle, Pang Shouyang was defeated and his soldiers fled in all directions. Even at night, some of them still returned to the team.
At last count, more than 6,000 men were lost in this battle, and the remaining less than 4,000 were temporarily incorporated into the Fengling Army.
Liu Feng saw clearly that although the Northern Barbarian cavalry were brave, no more than 3,000 of them were killed at that time. The reason why so few people came back was that about 3,000 of them completely disappeared, either escaping or missing.
In this way, under Pang Shouyang's operation, the 10,000-strong army was destroyed in just two hours.
However, Pang Shouyang's appearance was not completely useless. The large amount of food and fodder he brought solved the most important problem of food for the Fengling Army.
According to Linghu Xiaoshan's estimation, the Northern Barbarian Army would use the remaining troops to attack the city again.
But the next day, scouts brought news that the Northern Barbarian army had retreated under the cover of night.
Pang Shouyang was frightened after the battle yesterday, and on the other hand he caught a cold and fell ill.
Linghu Xiaoshan asked the Pang family guards to take Pang Shouyang back to Beijing for treatment.
A few more days passed.
Scouts continued to report that the Northern Barbarian Army had completely withdrawn from Youzhou and had even given up a large area of land in Yanzhou. They had now retreated to the border area of Yanzhou.
After hearing this news, Linghu Xiaoshan was completely relieved.
The next thing to do is to lead the army back to the capital.
Liu Feng returned to Siwa Village earlier than Linghu Xiaoshan, and the two of them couldn't help but feel sad about parting.
This time, Liu Feng supported Tianyong City. The Huxiao Army itself suffered many casualties. After fighting outside for a long time, the soldiers inevitably missed the quiet days in Siwa Village.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, the triumphant team that had been waiting to welcome them became excited.
Standing at the front of the welcoming team were the Mu sisters and Wu Xiangyue.
The couple haven't seen each other for many days.
The news of the Northern Barbarian Army's retreat had already reached the village. When the Tiger Roar Army returned, there was a blast of gongs and drums. In the eyes of the villagers, Liu Feng was the hero who had protected them.
Liu Feng repelled the northern barbarians, which was like removing the long sword hanging over their heads.
No more harassment from the northern barbarians.
There was no psychological burden caused by the invasion of the northern barbarian army.
Only then can ordinary people like them live a good life.
"Husband, you are back."
"We sisters have been waiting for you so hard."
As the mistress of the house, Mu Wanqing couldn't wait any longer. When she saw Liu Feng getting off the horse, she rushed over in a hurry.
His eyes were filled with tears.
It’s been a long time since we last met, it feels like years have passed.
He has always been worried that something might happen to Liu Feng on the battlefield.
Mu Wanqing was calming the emotions in the village, Wu Xiangyue was assisting with the village's defense, and Liu Yan was responsible for the family's food, clothing and daily expenses. They were all very busy, but everyone was very worried about Liu Feng.
During this period of time, he had no time to organize the account books, for fear that Liu Feng would encounter any problems on the battlefield.
"Husband, you are finally back."
