From space to the world, it takes trillions of years
Chapter 62 A last-ditch battle
The people of Baimu Town will naturally not sit idly by and wait for death.
Twenty-five miles away from the town, Fengqi Mountain shrinks into a funnel shape, and the county road is less than five miles away from the foot of the mountain.
Xu Yan and Liu Yinglong each rode a horse, preparing to harass the government troops here.
There were only 2,500 people in Baimu Town, half of whom were farmers who had just taken up arms. There was absolutely no possibility of winning a head-on battle.
We should first see if there are warriors of the same level in the court and then decide on the next course of action.
On the field, two tall horses came roaring.
The infantrymen on both sides of the government army looked very undisciplined. How dare just two of them charge into the battle?
Yan Fangci was somewhat excited. With the vision of an acquired warrior, he could naturally tell that it was the enemy who had made him flee that day.
I didn't expect that I would really not leave. This is a chance God has given me to gain credit and take revenge.
He ordered the cavalry to go around the center of the army and to the rear of the infantry, ready to wait for an opportunity to kill the two men.
Liu Yinglong stopped fifty feet away from the infantry, and Xu Yan dismounted and rushed over on foot.
The infantrymen felt somewhat uneasy when they saw this man was so frivolous.
The unknown means fear.
Sure enough, the distance of several dozen feet was reached in an instant, and a rain of arrows shot out from the infantry formation.
Xu Yan waved his hand and swept the oncoming arrow aside.
Like gods and demons!
The veterans who had been through many battles were more nervous than the new recruits because they knew clearly what this meant.
Acquired! Or an acquired warrior of a higher realm.
Unbeatable! With just one charge, the government troops retreated one after another, and their morale plummeted.
Xu Yan took advantage of the situation and rushed to the front of the formation in a few steps.
The trembling infantryman thrust his spear forward, but Xu Yan caught it easily.
With a pull, a lift, and a swing, wherever the spear passed, the elite infantrymen in leather armor were all broken in half, with a bloody mess.
Xu Yan broke into the battle array and killed the government troops, forcing them to retreat.
At this moment, hundreds of cavalrymen rode up from behind the infantry.
The leader was a second-level acquired martial artist, who shot an arrow directly at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan dodged it easily, and thinking that he was almost exhausted, he turned around and ran towards Liu Yinglong.
When a post-natal warrior bursts out with energy for a short period of time, he can run much faster than a horse.
Liu Yinglong helped his master to mount the horse, and the two of them turned around and ran towards Fengqi Mountain, ignoring the hundreds of cavalrymen behind them.
Xu Yan is the backbone of the group. If he dies, there is no need to fight this battle.
Hundreds of people chased and fled, and soon they reached the dense forest.
The mountain path was rugged, so the master and disciple abandoned their horses and rushed into the dense forest.
The acquired warrior was confident that he had hundreds of people following him and was not afraid of the enemy, so he ordered his subordinates to abandon their horses and go into the woods to pursue.
Unexpectedly, after they had taken a few steps, hundreds of arrows shot out from the dense forest, turning the people in front into hedgehogs.
The acquired warrior had just managed to escape the disaster when Xu Yan suddenly jumped out of the woods and killed him with one sword.
Seeing this, the others fled, leaving behind dozens of corpses.
"Junior brother, you are really smart," Liu Yinglong said with a pity that this was the only perfect ambush location, and it would be difficult to find the opponent's flaw of being careless and underestimating the enemy.
Otherwise, if they were asked to kill nearly two hundred enemies at a time, two acquired talents and more than a hundred archers, they would be able to drive the enemy crazy after a few attacks.
Everyone came on horseback, and at this time, hundreds of horses were moved out of the dense forest, and dozens of horses left by the other side were also moved away.
Not only did I not suffer any loss this time, I even made a huge profit.
But everyone was not relieved, as the enemy's main force was intact and the chances of winning were still slim.
Before they could even touch the edge of the enemy's clothes, they had already lost hundreds of infantrymen, dozens of elite cavalry, and even a post-natal warrior. Yan Fangci had a bad feeling in his heart.
The ambush troops of Baimu Town rode away in a swagger under the noses of the government troops.
Yan Fangci ordered his cavalry not to pursue and not to fall into the enemy's trap again.
Wait until he comes to the town with his mighty force and see what they can use to resist.
The next morning, government troops outside the town launched another attack.
Yesterday afternoon, Yan Fangci led his army to Baimu Town.
They were greeted by dozens of earthen forts, with horse pits between them to prevent cavalry attacks.
Behind Baimu Town is the Ji River, where the water flows rapidly and even acquired warriors cannot swim across.
To the north is the Fengqi Mountains, where women, children, the elderly and the weak are hiding. Even if all the young and strong men died, they could not be discovered by the imperial army.
The strategy chosen by He Qiao was to build a dock and hold out.
Yesterday, Xu Yan had already found out that the other party most likely did not have a post-natal warrior who was equal to him.
The earthen platform is more than ten feet high, about fifteen feet long and wide, and is built with thick brick walls on both sides of Baimugou.
There is a soldier stationed on each earthen platform, which is just enough to defend the four sides and store enough supplies.
Liu Yinglong was responsible for escorting He Qiao to command in the center, while Xu Yan was responsible for rescuing people between the platforms.
When attacking any fortress, we will face the threat of the seventh level of acquired martial artists.
This meant that the enemy had no chance to concentrate their superior forces to capture the earthen forts one by one, nor could they surround and kill Xu Yan calmly.
When Yan Fangci saw this, he was immediately in trouble. The other party was quite skilled and would be a tough nut to crack.
Fortunately, the townspeople were short on manpower and could only defend, with no energy left to attack.
Yan Fangci sent hundreds of laborers to easily fetch water from the white wood, solving the urgent problem.
Then, before sunset, the main force set up camp, and he sent out 600 men to try to besiege the most prominent fort.
As expected, it was difficult to deal with. The opponent expected that he was just trying to attack. Xu Yan immediately exerted his strength and killed all the attackers.
Only less than half of the six hundred men escaped back, and the rest were so frightened that they would probably not be able to take part in the battle tomorrow.
It was still dawn when a burst of shouting and killing was heard.
They rested all night using the ground as a blanket. When the guards heard the noise, they grabbed a dry biscuit from their side, chewed it twice, and then jumped up to fight.
This time the momentum was much greater than yesterday, with thousands of people rushing over all at once.
Upon closer inspection, the opponent's formation was not in disarray and was vaguely connected.
The gap between the two sides lies not only in the quality of soldiers, but also in weapons and equipment.
The armor rates of the official army and the guard battalion are similar, both around one-third.
The difference is that a quarter of the official army's armor is iron armor, while the guards only have dozens of sets of iron armor, and some even wear leather armor made of pig skin, which is much less protective.
Yan Fangci thought about it last night and decided that a strong attack would be better.
Due to the lack of high-end combat power, all kinds of self-righteous tricks can easily become tactics of adding fuel to the fire.
Only a very ruthless attack of several thousand men could overwhelm Xu Yan.
As for how many people would die in the violent attack, it was completely out of consideration for this noble acquired warrior.
Sure enough, with thousands of infantrymen pressing forward together, Xu Yan could only choose one of the several crumbling forts to support.
With the weak defeating the strong and Xu Yan's interference, the casualty ratio between the two sides was about three to one.
At the beginning, Xu Yan showed his great power and caused hundreds of casualties.
The rest fled in panic, and Yan Fangci had to send out cavalry and ordered that any of his own retreating men should be killed.
But as time went by, Xu Yan gradually became unable to cope with the situation.
