Chapter 477: Thrilling Game
Although everyone was still excited about buying the cow this time, no one cried as much as they did last time.
The main reason is that I don't have the time. Now basically all the people of the nine clans,
As well as the villagers of Tangjia Village, as long as they have some skills, they will go to several workshops to help,
These people are paid daily according to their working hours. There is no other way, mainly because time is too tight.
The grassland outside the Great Wall is thousands of miles wide, so it is not easy for Fu Huaian and his team to find Agula's team.
In addition to the recent commotion caused by several vanguard teams on the grassland, ten of the eleven teams sent by the Northern Yuan Dynasty to raid the grasslands were completely wiped out.
I believe that Agula, the only one who was not found, also noticed something.
If Agula's team wanted to hide, searching for them on the grassland would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!
However, various signs found in recent days indicate that Agula led his team westward.
But no one knew what was going on with this Agula. After discovering the Fu family army chasing them from behind, he immediately ordered his troops to speed up, and Fu Huaian also sped up to chase them.
This was a race on the battlefield. Finally, after several days of chasing, Fu Huaian gained the upper hand because he traveled lightly and chased day and night.
They chased Agula until they reached the area around the Wonan River, which is today's Onon River, and finally caught up with him.
But as the beloved son of the Grand Master, Agula still has certain privileges. For example, his team is much larger than those that were previously surrounded and suppressed.
There must be at least 5,000 people, and Fu Huaian himself also brought 5,000 people.
Obviously, this time the two cavalry forces are going to engage in a thrilling game.
"Report, General, the Fu family army that is chasing us has stopped thirty miles away."
Following the report of a Beiyuan soldier, even Agula, who had recently been struggling with escaping, was puzzled: "Three thousand miles?"
What do you want to do?
Fu Huaian asked everyone to set up pots and cook on the spot, feed the horses when necessary, and wipe the knives when necessary.
The distance of thirty miles is very clever, as it is exactly the distance for a cavalry sprint.
As for continuing to pursue the Northern Yuan Army?
These days, all the soldiers have felt exhausted.
Fu Huaian chose to stop and rest. He just wanted to see whether the Northern Yuan army, which was not much better than them, would stop.
If they stopped, they would wait for the soldiers and horses to eat and drink and take a break, and then they would charge forward and attack.
If the Northern Yuan army does not stop now, the Fu family army that will set out again later will be able to catch up with the exhausted enemy at a faster speed.
Agula was getting a little impatient at this moment. He had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen. He was so annoyed that he asked, "What does Fu want to do?"
It’s no wonder that he ran away when he saw the Fu family army this time. The main reason is that the Fu family army is so famous that anyone who faces them has to be careful.
This time, Agula chose to escape because he thought he knew the terrain better and wanted to lead them deep into the grassland so that they would not be able to tell the direction. The Fu family army was not familiar with the grassland terrain, so it would not be easy for them to find supplies.
In this way, he could not only ensure that his soldiers suffered less losses, but if he was luckier, the cold and hunger on the grassland would also be able to drag down the enemy.
Moreover, of the team that came out to attack Caogu, they were the only ones left after being destroyed by the Fu family army. It can be seen that it is better to be cautious before facing the Yan army head-on.
I have to say that although Agula is arrogant, he is not a brainless and reckless man.
However, he is not a reckless man, but there are reckless people around him.
One of his generals was tall and fat, with muscular body, and was the strongest man under his father.
This person fully proves the old saying: "Simple in mind, strong in limbs!"
So this guy is extremely confident in himself and others:
"In my opinion, the kid from the Fu family must be scared. Our warriors are skilled in archery and horsemanship. If they fail to strike, they can flee far away. We can attack or defend. Especially now that they have chased us deep into the grassland, we are already invincible!"
This guy has always been very arrogant. In addition, he is highly regarded by the Grand Master, so he only takes Agula into consideration. In his eyes, the other little generals are nothing.
"Pass the order down, conserve the horsepower, and push forward with all the troops. While they are resting, we will launch a surprise attack!"
Agula, who issued this order, did not completely obey the advice of his subordinates. He mainly thought that if they continued to run, the people and horses on their side would not be able to cope with it, so it would be better to change horses and charge forward directly.
Take advantage of the Fu family army's rest to launch a surprise attack on them when they are unprepared!
Immediately, five thousand Beiyuan soldiers turned around and slowly advanced towards the direction where Fu Huaian and his men were resting.
Thirty miles away, the Fu family army was also busy. They set up the pot and ate, but it was really not a big deal. They just took out the bread and ate some. The weather was too cold and they were riding fast, so a little hot water could warm their bodies.
Ah Chi baked a pancake and said, "Master, have a bite!"
Fu Huaian took it directly and ate the pancake much faster than usual.
At this time, a scout came in a hurry to report: "General, the enemy has turned their horses and is heading towards us."
"Haha, it looks like Agula doesn't plan to run away anymore!"
Fu Huaian's cracked lips curved slightly: "Feed the horses quickly, assemble."
As for your own food, you can ride on the horse first and eat it in time.
"It's getting dark, I guess we'll have to fight tonight."
Ah Chi sighed, and quickly roasted a few more buns, chewing them while pushing them into Fu Huaian's hands.
Fu Huaian didn't just sit there and wait for food. Why was he acting like a young master at this time? He was also helping to get water for the soldiers who were making pancakes.
When the Fu family army gathered together to fight against the Northern Yuan army, they had just eaten and drunk enough, and the horses had also eaten and drunk enough.
Although I didn't have much rest, I still enjoyed some time to relax.
Otherwise, both sides would be exhausted and would choose to fight hard. Although the Fu family army was not afraid of any opponent, they would certainly win after one battle, but the losses would certainly be extremely serious.
In this northern expedition, they were not at an advantage in numbers. After several battles, for Fu Huaian, nothing was more important than reducing his own losses.
"Here we go, we will win this battle!"
"We must win this battle, kill!"
Maybe the Fu family army has this magical power. With just this one shout, their momentum instantly increased.
Fu Huaian took his silver spear, pointed the tip forward, and shouted suddenly: "Attack!"
As the horn sounded, the Fu family army also quickly advanced in the direction of the Northern Yuan army.
At the same time, the Northern Yuan army, having noticed the movements of the Fu family army, also sped up.
Twenty-five miles!
Fifteen miles!
Ten miles!
When the generals were fifty miles apart, Fu Huaian and Agula waved almost at the same time.
"kill!"
"kill!"
With five thousand cavalrymen on each side and the bombardment of tens of thousands of horses, it felt like the entire earth was shaking.
"Da da da!"
The collision of the two torrents was much more brutal than the previous small-scale battles!
However, in the current cavalry battle, the Fu family army is not in a head-on confrontation, just when the distance is 600 steps.
Suddenly, a special horn sounded, and all the Fu family soldiers raised their hands and raised their crossbows, without even aiming.
However, since it was a cavalry attack, the speed was very fast. When the second horn sounded,
The Fu family army pulled the trigger, and immediately, the sharp arrows from the Shenbi crossbow flew towards the Northern Yuan cavalry like heavy rain. At this time, the Liang army was still three hundred steps away.
In the cavalry of the Fu family army, each soldier is equipped with bows and arrows, long swords, short blades, and weapons such as the crossbow.
A full five thousand cavalrymen fired crossbow arrows at the same time, five thousand arrows at a time.
Of course, at such a close distance, you can only shoot twice at most.
A dense rain of arrows pierced the enemy from the air, and there was no need to worry about whether the shots were accurate or whether they hit horses or soldiers.
Fu Huaian was very satisfied with the effect of the Shenbi Crossbow this time. At least the range was much higher than before because he used the spring he learned from Shen Youyou's machine.
Sure enough, under the power of such a powerful mechanism, even the Northern Yuan soldiers with amazing riding skills could only hide their bodies on the side of the horse.
However, this powerful crossbow could easily shoot into the body of a warhorse. In an instant, the warhorse, which was charging quickly, would either fall to the ground directly or go crazy due to the pain.
The Northern Yuan army was immediately thrown into disarray.
Even some horses that were not shot were "lucky" enough to be tripped by the fallen war horses in front of them.
After all, at this time, it is not possible to brake the car just by wanting to.
The shoulder was also "lucky". Agula, whose arm was shot, glanced at the body of the first strong man who was shot into a sieve not far away and died with his eyes open.
He closed his eyes in pain, this was something he really didn't expect, the Fu family army, who were brave enough to fight and kill, would also resort to treacherous tactics.
But this is not the end yet. Although the Northern Yuan army was in a state of disarray and there were not many survivors left, the Fu family army still came with a murderous aura.
Fu Huai'an shouted: "Catch Agula alive and you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"
It's not that he is stingy, he just thinks that something like Agula is already quite good to be worth a hundred taels.
For these cavalrymen, one hundred taels was not too little, and this was an obvious military achievement, so everyone was even more excited.
As the two cavalry forces tangled together, the sky gradually darkened.
Soon, because they took the initiative, Agula's troops completely collapsed and suffered a crushing defeat. The Northern Yuan army that still had the strength to fight also began to flee.
But how could the Fu family army, which had been chasing them for so long, just watch them run away like this?
The Fu family army once again used the Shenbi crossbow as a modern pistol, quickly chasing the fleeing enemy troops in all directions in groups of three or five, while shooting crossbow arrows.
"Whoa!"
As the sound of crossbows was heard, sharp arrows flashing with cold light pierced into the enemy's bodies or horses swiftly.
At first, there were still hundreds of people fleeing, but later, there were only dozens of survivors who needed to be questioned.
As for Agula, I really don’t know whether I should say he was lucky or unlucky, because under such a dense rain of arrows,
He was rushing forward, but only his arm was hit by an arrow. Didn't he see that many people around him were shot into sieves at that time?
But he was lucky, as he was captured alive. The key point was that the person who captured him was a scarred and ruthless boy from the family of the Minister of Justice.
