I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 196 Loyal Reinforcements Sweep

As Temu Aguda's words fell, the two thousand riders hesitated for a moment, and then quickly differentiated.

The barbarian youths who had crawled under the hooves of Han Shao's horse earlier were the first to react.

After a sonorous sound of drawing swords, they quickly completed the encirclement against the nearly two hundred cavalry in the field who encouraged Temu Aguda to rebel.

Seeing this scene, the remaining people couldn't help but fell into confusion.

They didn't expect that the same people who had just been drinking and eating meat together would start drawing swords at each other the next moment!

Faced with such a sudden change, they held their hands to the hilt of their swords, but they didn't know where they were facing.

Fortunately, at this time, they no longer need to make a choice.

After completing the encirclement, Temu Agu, who pointed at the long sword in vain, uttered one word.

"attack!"

Almost instantly.

Riding a bow and shooting!

Accompanied by a short pitiful howl, the horse's hooves suddenly stepped.

Temu Aguda had already taken the lead and charged into the nearly two hundred riders.

The swords were crisscrossed, and blood shot out.

……

This killing came and ended suddenly.

It only takes half a cup of tea.

There were already corpses lying on the ground.

The war horse, which had lost its master, was pacing in place with its eyes wide open and somewhat confused.

The few remaining barbarian youths had red eyes and glared at Temu Aguda.

"Aguda! You idiot! You will regret it!"

"If you miss this opportunity, you will definitely regret it!"

Temu Aguda expressionlessly held the long sword dripping with blood, and stopped the cavalry around him who were about to move.

He said indifferently.

"Stupid, not scary."

"Stupidity without knowing it is terrible."

After saying that, the cavalrymen under the seat started to move, and the long knife in their hands cut through the necks of several people in a moment.

The blood is warm.

Temu Aguda stood among the corpses and body parts, looking around.

Like a ferocious wolf king, glaring at the pack of wolves.

Everyone he glanced at immediately lowered their heads and caressed their chests to express their submission.

Only Tai Ji looked at Temu Agu Da with a smiling expression from beginning to end.

Temu Aguda frowned, then returned to his expressionless look.

"I let you down, Taiji..."

Taiji continued to smile noncommittally and did not answer.

He is like a lone wolf wandering among the wolves. He seems to be among the wolves, but always seems out of place.

Temu Aguda once thought of trying to assimilate him.

But the final result was a failure.

Later, Temu Aguda realized that it was not accurate to describe Taiji as a lone wolf.

He is not a wolf.

Rather, it is a shepherd dog that lives in a wolf den and wears wolf skin.

And they are not wolves.

But a sheep wearing wolf skin, with fangs and sharp claws.

After waving his hand to shake off the blood beads rolling on the long knife, Temu Agu put the knife back into its sheath.

He rode his horse and walked to Taiji's side and said indifferently.

"Just this once, and next time, even if you try to be punished by the master, I will kill you!"

Taiji smiled and said a little weirdly.

"Do you think I instigated it?"

Temu Aguda's voice was cold.

"Is not it?"

Taiji shook his head and laughed.

"Although I think these insects deserve to die, they are the owner's property after all."

"No shepherd dog would take the initiative to kill a sheep in the sheepfold, are you right?"

Taiji is right.

But Temu Aguda still remained skeptical.

After all, sometimes with just a few words of confusion, some fools will jump out and seek death.

Glancing at Taiji's seemingly harmless face, Temu Aguda snorted coldly.

"Don't believe it."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence.

"You are not the only one who is loyal to the master."

When Meimei heard this, the smile on his face became a little brighter.

"Don't believe it."

ridicule?

Anger flashed in Temu Aguda's eyes, but he did not continue to entangle with him.

The horse's reins were pulled, and he drank deeply.

"keep going."

……

Beacon Fort, Dingfeng Fort.

The smoke is straight and cannot be blown away by the wind.

But after lighting the beacon fire, everyone in Dingfeng Castle did not continue to take care of it.

"shoot!"

The garrison on the beacon castle quickly pulled the bow string in his hand, and he could shoot a horseman without even aiming.

Because the barbarian cavalry swarming down below were too dense.

At a glance, there are at least four thousand riders!

In comparison, their simple beacon, defended by only 240 people, was like a rock under the impact of huge waves.

Once it is submerged, the entire army will be destroyed.

The beacon commander Liu Yue's eyes were fixed on the barbarian cavalry that kept charging at the fort, and his heart gradually sank.

There is no doubt that the group of rangers who failed to come back last night are already dead.

But at this time, he couldn't care less about being sad for that group of men.

Because if nothing happens, he will die here today.

Including the more than 240 soldiers in the fort who have been with each other day and night for more than two years...

Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Yue grabbed a sharp arrow shot from under the fort, gritted his teeth and broke it.

No one saw that the palm of his hand that had just broken the arrow was trembling faintly.

He is human too.

There is also fear in the face of impending death.

But as Feng Shuai, as the backbone of these 240 people, he couldn't show it.

Even in the face of the fearful looks from the soldiers, he still smiled and comforted them loudly.

"Don't worry! The beacon is on fire and reinforcements will arrive soon!"

"Everyone, hold on!"

After hearing his words, the already desperate soldiers felt a little relieved.

It would be nice to have reinforcements.

As long as they can hold out for a while and wait for reinforcements to arrive, they may be able to achieve some military success if they are attacked from both inside and outside!

When you return home with a reward at the end of the year, you will be able to enjoy the glory.

As a result, the morale of the soldiers on this small beacon tower was high, and they all roared angrily.

"Kill the barbarian dog!"

But what they didn't know was that Feng Shuai Liu Yue, who had just boosted their morale, was smiling bitterly in his heart.

Where are the reinforcements?

Because of the great battle at the end of last year, the beacon clusters on the entire Youbei Grassland were almost wiped out.

Although after the barbarian dogs retreated, some new garrison soldiers were added.

But the time was too short to restore the pre-war scale.

As far as he knew, the two beacon forts closest to Dingfeng Fort combined were only comparable to their Dingfeng Fort.

Among them are many new soldiers who have never experienced a battle.

With such strength, let alone coming to rescue, even self-protection is impossible.

Watch the heroic scene of the soldiers pulling the bow strings with all their strength, and constantly killing and injuring the barbarian cavalry with city defense equipment.

Liu Yue said sorry to the soldiers in his heart.

It was he who was careless.

When he realized that the group of rangers failed to come back, he should have gone to take a look immediately.

Rather than thinking about going there after inspecting the beacon fort.

This delay will miss a big event!

This is also Liu Yue's character flaw.

Although he is very tolerant to his subordinates and is very trustworthy by his soldiers, he is too indecisive and slow in doing things.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now.

There were too many barbarian cavalry troops, and they were already approaching the city. They couldn't help but retreat like they did last year. ‘The only option is to fight to the death…’

Under the fort, four thousand barbarians rode with hooves like thunder.

Comes and goes like the wind.

Soon the forwards were within striking distance and now their counterattack began.

"shoot!"

"shoot!"

Following the sound of barbarian language roaring.

I saw the barbarian knight below quickly pulling the bow on the horse's side, opening the bow and shooting upward.

Liu Yue, who witnessed this scene, immediately gave the order without any hesitation.

"Rain of arrows! Avoid!"

It has to be said that although these garrison soldiers in Dingfeng Fort are not as good as those elite soldiers who suppressed the Liao Army.

But the basic martial arts qualities are still there.

He is also extremely convinced of Liu Yue, the Feng Shuai.

After hearing the order, he almost subconsciously raised his shield and stood up.

But despite this, amidst the sound of a dense rain of arrows falling, there was still the sound of several arrows piercing the flesh.

Then there was a shrill howl.

The true energy in Liu Yue's body saved the two of them, and one of them said in shock.

"Thank you Feng Shuai!"

But the other person made no movement.

Liu Yue looked down and saw an arrow piercing his shoulder and another right between his eyebrows.

Liu Yue remembered that just a moment ago, the guard was still worried about whether his daughter, who was already in her late teens, would find a good family.

At this time, he died without even having time to utter a scream.

This is the battlefield.

Between the thought of life and death.

Any words seem so pale and weak at this time.

Silently put down the body.

Liu Yue sighed as he looked at the soldiers who dropped their iron shields and started to draw their bows again.

Then he devoted all his attention to the barbarian cavalry under the fort.

Not surprisingly, with the help of that burst of arrows.

The barbarian cavalry forward once again approached a long distance below the fort.

A moment later.

Four figures with powerful auras suddenly rose into the sky from their horses.

Innate Grandmaster!

No surprises.

It would be surprising if such a large-scale cavalry army did not have an innate master.

Liu Yue is not surprised that a great master of the Tianmen Realm appears.

Seeing the four innate masters joining forces to rush into the void, they were about to board the beacon castle.

At this moment, Liu Yue didn't hesitate at all.

He shouted loudly in his mouth.

"Po Gang Crossbow! Shoot at the right moment!"

While talking.

The long sword on my waist was unsheathed and it also rose into the air.

He must go up at this time, otherwise, when these four innate masters break into the beacon fort, there will be a bloody storm in the blink of an eye.

Once a gap occurs, it is not that easy to plug it.

By then, the two hundred or so people in Dingfeng Castle will surely die.

……

The fierce offensive and defensive confrontation came as expected without any surprise.

Facing the violent attack of four thousand barbarian horsemen, Dingfeng Castle was like a candle in the wind, or like a lone boat hit by huge waves.

It seems like it will be destroyed overnight.

Liu Yue, whose innate true energy has become thin, is fighting to the death.

The more than 240 garrison soldiers, whose number has been declining sharply, are also fighting to the death.

At this moment, they had no way out.

After killing them until their eyes were blood red, no one thought about returning home at the end of the year.

Only during the last moments before death, the clear or blurred faces of family members may flash before our eyes.

But at this moment, the smoke and dust suddenly rising in the distance and the faint sound of horse hooves attracted the attention of both parties.

Liu Yue, who almost single-handedly resisted four innate masters in the same realm, glanced across the distance.

A look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming! Guys, hold on!"

After hearing this, the remaining garrison soldiers felt a glimmer of hope in their already desperate hearts.

In an instant, his morale was restored, he waved the long knife in his hand and roared angrily.

"Kill the barbarian dogs! Establish military merit!"

Correspondingly, the barbarians suddenly became confused.

Glancing in the distance, he saw a lot of movement in the smoke.

A rough estimate is that there are two thousand riders.

When some of the barbarian knights saw this, they were so panicked that they didn't even care about their fellow tribesmen who were attacking the city. They turned their horses' heads and ran away.

Even the expressions of the four Xiantian Grandmasters who were fighting Liu Yue on the beacon changed.

One of the innate masters even panicked and was killed in the void by several broken crossbows that found an opportunity.

In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of these broken crossbows that the Dingfeng Fort can persist until now.

But just when the situation between the two sides was about to reverse, Liu Yue glanced at Liu Yue in the distance from time to time with his peripheral vision, and the ecstasy on his face suddenly froze.

A face that was originally flushed with excitement turned pale in an instant.

Because the line of two thousand cavalry in the distance can be distinguished at a glance. They belong to... the barbarians!

Reinforcements are coming...

Unfortunately it's not theirs.

Liu Yue, whose heart felt cold, subconsciously wanted to escape.

After all, as long as he wants to escape, with his superior cultivation, the only three remaining barbarian innates cannot stop him.

Even the thousands of barbarian troops under the fort could not stop him.

But when he looked at the soldiers on the fort who were still fighting to the death, he didn't after all.

Perhaps this is also one of the manifestations of his indecisiveness.

'Today is all about death...'

There is no great sense of loyalty to Dayong.

Some only have the little bits and pieces of getting along day and night over the past two years.

Today they, the garrison soldiers, can die.

He, Feng Shuai, can also die.

Liu Yue slashed with the long sword in his hand.

It's already a life-threatening attitude.

The three barbarian innates who were frightened by his desperate posture resisted for a while.

When he was hesitating whether to give the order to retreat first.

Suddenly he laughed.

"I was shocked. It turns out they are not the reinforcements of these Southern Dogs! They are ours!"

"Wolf cubs! Kill! Break this turtle shell!"

"Let's have a full meal!"

It’s his mother’s fault!

A dog-like Khan!

The dog said Yong man!

Last year, there was a big war, and the dream of following Khan to go south to make a fortune was shattered.

The tribesmen suffered countless casualties.

After finally struggling to return to the tribe, I found that the tribe was gone!

During the White Disaster, humans and animals ceased to exist. Those who returned to the grassland almost starved to death and froze to death on the grassland.

Who can understand this despair?

If they weren't hungry, who would be willing to go south to fight for their lives?

Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the barbarian who spoke.

At this time, the 'Barbarian Cavalry' from far away also arrived.

Looking at the familiar faces of their fellow tribesmen, the thousands of barbarians who were originally in panic felt certain in their hearts.

Then I was overjoyed.

But then I started to worry again. Will there be enough food in this small beacon with so many people suddenly there?

But soon they didn't care about it anymore.

Just when they were running through countless complicated thoughts.

The 'barbarian cavalry' who rushed in front of them, led by the too young leader, suddenly pointed their swords in their hands.

The voice shouted without any emotion.

"Great Yong Guiyi Camp!"

"Destroy the enemy! Kill!"
