The raiders were very cunning, covering the ranks with arrows and spears from the very beginning, massacring the slaves in the ranks to disrupt the ranks.

The soldiers and soldiers of the Xiyuan Kingdom rushed to the battle, and still formed a battle formation at an astonishing speed, protecting Yang Qi and other clan youths in the formation, and isolating the flying arrows in the sky.

The team leader is a Chinese doctor who has experienced countless battles throughout his life, and he can see the enemy's plan at a glance.

"Shield formation, charge!"

One's own side is trapped, and moving is a living target.The attackers rode horses and galloped around the periphery, with ease, and could organize another wave of arrow rain at any time.

Doctor Zhong made a decisive decision, abandoned his luggage and slaves, blocked the rain of arrows with a large shield, protected Yang Qi and others from rushing out of the encirclement, and rushed back to the grassland with horses.

"Wu!"

In order to protect the heirs, all the families sent out warriors who were truly the best of the best, and when they met Di Rong, they would be as good as ten.

When the order was issued, the soldiers raised their large shields at the same time, forming a wall with the shields and spreading them out horizontally.

Behind the shield wall are soldiers with long knives, bows and arrows, followed by Yang Qi and others who lost their horses and chariots.

The attackers not only targeted the slaves, but also shot and killed the horses in the procession, so that the doctor had to order the horses to be seized, otherwise they would not be able to escape.

The battle array pushed forward, and every time the soldier took a step forward, the large shield in his hand would hit the ground heavily.Zu Wu took the opportunity to open his bow and used flying arrows to fly arrows, disrupting the opponent's attack and buying time for the soldiers.

The attackers realized that the situation was not good, and immediately changed their strategy. Immediately, the knights threw away their bows and arrows, and raised their short spears flatly, intending to launch a wave of charges and tear apart the opposing battle formation.

The idea is good, but it is difficult to realize.

Xiyuan Kingdom's shield formation is unrivaled in the world, and even with less than a thousand people, it has an overwhelming momentum, and infantry is still not inferior to cavalry.

Seeing that the opponent intends to start a melee fight, Doctor Zhong seized the opportunity to swing his long knife and shouted loudly: "Come on!"

If the attackers continued to wander around the periphery, the Xiyuan soldiers and soldiers had no horses, and their two legs could not catch up with their four legs. They really couldn't help each other.

Now the opponent has changed his strategy and chose melee combat. For Dr. Yu Zhong, this move is exactly what he wants!

Yang Qi and the others were in the formation, always strictly obeying orders and not adding chaos to the battle formation.When the doctor issued a military order, several people quickly joined the new formation, cooperated with the soldiers of various families, and confronted the cavalry head-on.

The Xiyuan Kingdom is martial arts, and the clans of the Xiyuan Kingdom must obtain military exploits if they want to establish themselves in the imperial court.

No matter how glorious the parents are, if I have never been on the battlefield, I have never killed an enemy with my own hands, and I have no achievements in battle, I am not qualified to be the heir, and I will not be recognized by the clan if I force myself to rise to the top.

Under such circumstances, the Xiyuan clan's children have their own style, and it is not uncommon to see violent murderers, but it is really rare for them to shrink back in battle.

There is no soil for the growth of dandies in Xiyuan.

No matter what his origin, if he behaved cowardly on the battlefield, he was destined to be cast aside by the entire class.

Yang Qi and the others knew this very well. No one was hiding behind the formation. The education they had received since childhood drove them to draw their swords and charge, surpassing the soldiers and taking the lead in fighting.

Fei Ya passed by, but it could not weaken their fighting spirit in the slightest.

Shouts and screams were intertwined, every swing of the sword never failed, the blood on the body belonged to the enemy, and every head rolled to the feet was a battle exploit and glory.

The armored soldiers of Xiyuan Kingdom changed their formation again, the shield formation was scattered, and a team of a hundred men fiercely chiseled at the cavalry on the opposite side.

Armored soldiers are dressed in full body armor, fearless of short spears flying arrows, holding shields in both hands, rolling forward like human tanks.Those who stand in the way, people and horses collide together.

The soldiers followed closely behind the soldiers, using halberds and long knives to attack the enemies on flying horses.What's more, they rolled on the spot, risked rolling under the horse's hooves, and chopped off the horse's legs with a knife.

The horse neighed and fell, and the blood-stained soldiers stretched out their big hands, dragged the frightened knight to the ground, and twisted the opponent's neck with a grinning grin.

Until the last moment of his life, the knight still didn't understand why the cavalry was defeated by the infantry and the crowd was large, and they lost so quickly?

madman!

These Xiyuan people are out-and-out lunatics!

The attackers found that the fighting situation was unfavorable and wanted to change the order, but it was too late.

Cavalry and infantry collided like dogs.

The cavalry, who were supposed to pierce through the battle formation, struggled and fell into the mud.The infantry at a disadvantage successfully fought back, killing the enemy back step by step, fearful in their hearts, and took the opportunity to seize the horse.

Doctor Zhong's original intention was to seize the horse and rush out of the encirclement. Seeing the development of the battle, he quickly changed his mind.

The enemy's courage has been lost, when will we wait if we don't kill now?

"kill!"

Doctor Zhong gave an order, and the whole army charged.

Not only the soldiers and soldiers, but even the slaves hidden under the carts bravely rushed out, grabbed the weapons on the ground, and followed the soldiers to fight bravely.

The situation on the battlefield is one-sided. The soldiers of Xiyuan Kingdom become more and more courageous as they fight. Even if they are cut by knives, as long as it is not fatal, they will still charge forward with their comrades and take down the enemy on the opposite side.

The attackers originally had the upper hand, but who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly.

Seeing that their own side was retreating steadily, the attacks on the other side became more and more frenzied. If they continued to entangle, the whole army might be wiped out. The leader immediately ordered the archers behind to release arrows.

"Use poison arrows!"

"Patriarch, don't!" Hearing the order, the vassal disguised as a bandit was frightened and hurriedly stopped him.

The poison on the arrow seals the throat with blood, and a scratch on the skin may kill a person.

The two sides were entangled, and more than 300 cavalry were trapped by the other side, including his two sons.If they were shot indiscriminately, wouldn't they all suffer?

"Patriarch..." The retainer was full of anxiety, and wanted to persuade him again.The person known as the head of the family was unmoved, and he insisted on ordering the cavalry and infantry to be shot together without showing any sympathy.

Seeing the poisonous arrows flying out, his two sons were hit by the arrows one after another, the retainers' eyes were red and their canthus were about to burst, and they swung their swords to kill them.

"Liang Sheng, I will never die with you!"

When the sword light came, the soldiers protecting Liang Sheng rushed out, easily blocked the long sword, dragged the retainer under the horse, smashed his collarbone with one punch, then grabbed the long sword, and nailed him directly to the ground. on the ground.

Blood foamed from the mouth of the retainer, raised his arm with difficulty, and pointed his finger at Liang Sheng who was on the horse. He uttered a vague single sound, and died on the spot.

The poisonous arrows flew in, and the Xiyuan army and attackers in the battlefield were all covered, causing heavy casualties for a while.

The doctor in command of the battle was unfortunately shot by an arrow, and the severe pain penetrated the wound, his consciousness became blurred, and he immediately realized that it was not good.

"Shield formation!"

With his last breath, Dr. Zhong gave the order, and immediately opened his eyes wide, unwilling to give up.

Soldiers and soldiers gathered quickly, protected the surrounding area with large shields, raised round shields to cover the top of their heads, even if arrows flew, they could not hurt the people in the formation.

Seeing this, Liang Sheng's expression flashed with pride, and he ordered to charge again, intending to tear open the shield formation, and continue to shoot with poisonous arrows.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes behind him, followed by a rain of arrows.

The sound of breaking wind continued, and sharp arrows pierced into the cavalry, killing and injuring dozens of people in an instant.

"who?!"

After attacking himself, Liang Sheng turned pale with shock, and quickly turned his horse's head regardless of besieging the shield formation.

A black line appeared not far away, and there were more than a hundred people by visual inspection.

Immediately, the knights were not wearing armor, and they couldn't tell which country they were from, but they were all strong and brave.While the horses were galloping, the knights raised their bows and shot upwards.Once the arrow with the blood slot is shot, people and horses will be seriously injured.

The arrival of these knights turned the tide.

The poisonous arrows in Liang Sheng's hands were not inexhaustible. Most of them were consumed before, barely enough to deal with the battle formation, and this cavalry was definitely not enough.

Knowing that he must not be caught, Liang Sheng made a decisive decision, and after ordering 200 people to stay behind, he took a feint shot with his confidants and rode away on horseback.

The escape route has long been confirmed. If the opponent wants to pursue him, he will encounter interception on the way, which is an ambush set in advance.

It's a pity that Liang Sheng's plan fell through, and the rescued cavalry joined Yang Qi and others to kill the broken team with all their strength.For the sake of caution, we left a few alive and did not pursue them again.

"Don't chase the poor." The fox merchant dismounted from his horse, stepped forward to greet Yang Qi and the others, identified himself face to face and showed him the wooden plaque Zhi Xuan gave him.

It's no coincidence that he's here.

Not long ago, Fox Merchant received an order from Zhi Xuan to keep an eye on a caravan in the city.

With the help of the merchant's identity, the fox merchant easily approached each other.During the dealings, he discovered that something was wrong with this caravan, and he was extremely concerned about the dynamics of the Monarch's Mansion, and he also followed the team that was transporting fruit wine out of the city.

After Yang Qi and others set off, the caravan still stayed in the city and did not leave with it, which made the fox merchant a little uncertain.

It wasn't until a few days ago that his subordinates caught a pigeon carrying a secret letter that the truth came to light.

After reading the contents of the letter, Hu Shang gritted his teeth suddenly, realizing that he was careless.When the letter and the pigeon were sent to the Monarch's Mansion together, he led the team to chase out of the grassland, intending to catch up with Yang Qi and his party.

It's a pity he was still a step too late.

Doctor Zhong's body was restrained and carried onto his chariot.

Soldiers and soldiers who died in battle were also carried onto carts one after another and brought back to Xincheng together.

The dead assailants were piled up together, and without collecting anything that could prove their identity, they were directly set on fire.Compared with leaving the corpse to the beast, setting fire to it is a heavier punishment, which shows how deep the anger of the people is.

Interrogation of captured captives, the confession was unexpected.

They came from different countries, they were all prisoners who committed serious crimes and became wildlings after escaping.

When hiding in Tibet, they were either captured or summoned, cut off the tattooed skin, and hid in a no-man's land.

After a while, the person in charge will distribute weapons and war horses and order them to pretend to be bandits and attack the caravan.Sometimes they would disguise themselves as Di Rong and harass the borders of Xiyuan and Bei'an in order to improve their combat effectiveness.

Most of these people don't know who the person in charge is.

One cleverly said that he had heard the word "Liang Sheng" on the battlefield before, but he couldn't confirm whether it was his real name or not.

"Liang Sheng, Liang?" Yang Qi and Hu Shang suddenly changed their expressions.

Before the two could think about it, the situation changed again.

When clearing the battlefield, several soldiers harvested a batch of poisoned arrows. Based on the appearance of the arrows, they concluded that the poison on the arrows came from Nanyou Kingdom.

"In the past, the king summoned the princes to hunt. I have seen this poison. Applying a short spear with a dart, all the poisoned Di Rong's complexion is dark, and their mouths and noses bleed."

When a king ascends the throne, there must be hunting, either to drive Di Rong to the north, or to drive the barbarians to the south.

Whenever the king convenes a hunting meeting, all the princes will come as promised, bringing together the elites of the country, not only to respond to the king's order, but also to show their strength to other countries.

When the soldier was young, he was fortunate to participate in the hunting of kings, and witnessed the fighting methods of the armies of various countries. The army of Nanyou country was particularly impressive to him.

The whole army likes to be colorful, wears bird feathers on their heads, and poisons their weapons.There are large totems painted on the soldiers, which are completely different from other vassal states.

"I've seen it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong!"

After the soldier retreated, the fox merchant suggested to Yang Qi and the others that it is not known whether there is an ambush ahead, so it is better to change the itinerary to be cautious.

Involving two major vassal states at once is no small matter.

Yang Qi and the others did not dare to ignore it. After discussing it, they adopted the suggestion of the fox merchant, and all turned around and returned to Grassland New City, reporting the matter to the monarch before making plans.

When they set off to return, the Shangfang of Haocheng was suddenly surrounded, and the caravan that released the pigeons was blocked in the residence, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The soldier who was ordered to arrest the man knocked open the door, and what he faced was a room of dead silence.The members of the caravan fell to the ground in disarray, and all died of poisoning!
