Their Lucky Star Was Transmigrated! Chapter 374: Wolf smoke
Maoyuan County is located at the junction of Xiangyi Prefecture and Donglin Prefecture.
Since Xiangyi Prefecture began to promote official carriages, there have been many more businessmen going to and from Xiangyi Prefecture and Donglin Prefecture.
And the number of travelers who settled in Maoyuan County naturally followed.
It was originally just an ordinary small county town, but because of the frequent business exchanges, it suddenly became lively.
On the official road, there is an endless stream of cars and horses coming and going, and the tea shops on the roadside stop from time to time to have a cup of tea and rest.
"The North Barbarians are here!"
"Run!"
Suddenly, a shrill cry came, and several people came galloping from the direction of Donglin Mansion on horseback.
"Run!"
"The North Barbarians are here!"
Right now the knight galloped past, shouting as he ran.
The merchants and pedestrians on the official road were stunned when they heard the call, and then ran frantically towards the mountains and forests on both sides of the road.
As for the goods?
At this time, do you need to consider whether you want death or money?
It was only a moment, and the official road, which was lively just now, was instantly clean.
The tea shop on the roadside is even more messed up.
Some people ran into the county seat, and some people hid in the forest.
Then, whether it was those who entered the county seat or those who hid in the mountains and forests, they all felt the earth tremble.
Beijing Manzi, it's really coming!
"Close the gates!"
"Ring the gong!"
Li Gan, the commander of the town military academy in Maoyuan County, issued the order immediately.
No one knows how Beimanzi appeared in the Tang Dynasty's territory, but with the town army of a county, it is impossible to stop the thousands of cavalry of Beimanzi.
The only thing they can do is to defend Maoyuan County.
"Light the wolf!"
Langyan, also known as Beacon Communication.
Since King Yan guarded the northern land, the northern land has never lit up again in the past 20 years.
Now, the wolf smoke is rising again!
Li Gan didn't know why there was no wolf smoke coming from the north, or why the Beiman cavalry suddenly appeared outside Maoyuan County.
He only knows that if the northern barbarians attack the city, the only way is to fight to the death.
However, the Beiman cavalry circled the city from under Maoyuan County, all the way to the south.
Chu Xiuyan, the magistrate of Maoyuan County, picked up his sword as soon as he received the letter and went up the city wall.
"Something's wrong!"
Chu Xiuyan looked at Li Gan next to him, "Li Xiaowei, what do you think this northern barbarian is going to do?"
"Anshun County!"
Li Gan raised his head abruptly, "Beiman should be going to Anshun County. Huangfengkou!"
"Come on, drums!"
"Can't the northern barbarians just go to Anshun County like this, brothers who are not afraid of death, follow me out of the city!"
Li Gan guessed the goal of the Beiman cavalry, and without any hesitation, directly issued the order to go out of the city to meet.
Huang Fengkou, it is not a secret that Xu Lao Er beheaded the two little princes of Beiman in a row.
Instead, to boost morale, the news had already spread.
At this moment, the Beiman cavalry appeared here strangely, all the way to the south, which was clearly to attack the old and weak women and children of the Xu family.
At first glance, it doesn't matter to them.
Yes, the males of the Xu family are guarding at Huangfengkou, guarding the gate for Datang, and protecting the safety of these people.
If they watched the Xu family's women and children die under the swords of the Beiman cavalry, would they still be considered individuals?
Li Gan explained the whole story in a few words.
Most of the town troops in Maoyuan County were listed.
They are the town army and their duty is to defend the city. But once the war in the north is tight, they have to go to the battlefield to fight hard. Because of what the Xu family did, they didn't have to work hard.
Nowadays, Beiman intends to take revenge, how can they sit back and watch?
"Chu county magistrate, the county town will be yours!"
Li Gan bowed three times to this Chu Xiuyan, and then rushed out of the county town with more than 300 town troops.
Maoyuan County is not big, and the number of garrison troops is no more than 500.
Of course, some of them are old and weak.
At this moment, more than 300 people can follow Li Gan out of the city, which is already counted as all the fighting strength of the Nengzhan Town Army in Maoyuan County.
"Don't take your life, our goal is to hold them back!"
The wolf smoke has already risen. As long as these northern barbarian cavalry are held back, leaving time for the government to deal with it, then these northern barbarian cavalry will never come back.
The leader of the northern barbarian cavalry is now Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai in women's clothing.
But at this moment, Xu Huairen was just staring at Duke Antai's skin, his mind had already changed to another person, still a woman.
"I don't know whether to live or die, but kill them all!"
After discovering that the town army in Maoyuan County was out of the city, Xu Huairen, who had changed his mind, waved his hand violently.
Then, one hundred Beiman cavalry separated from the brigade and charged towards the more than three hundred Maoyuan County town troops led by Li Gan.
"Defense!"
With Li Gan's shout, the three hundred town troops immediately formed a formation and put up long horse-rejecting guns.
The horse-rejecting spear was specially made by the Tang infantrymen to fight against the northern barbarian cavalry.
Once the infantry is charged by the cavalry, they will quickly take out their carbine and prop them up on the ground.
If the cavalry team ignores the resistance of the carbine and charges directly, it will inevitably end up alone.
And if the cavalry detours, they will be blocked by soldiers with short crossbows.
Because the northern barbarians came with the strength of the whole family, when Li Gan received the news, he began to train the soldiers under his command.
If it was before, no one would care about Li Gan's practice.
But now, on the contrary, everyone can't wait to practice for a few more days.
After all, training now is to go to the battlefield and survive.
Refused to hold up the carbine, the Beiman cavalry really chose to detour.
Li Gan waved his hand decisively, and the crossbow shot quickly.
Shoot the man first to shoot the horse!
The Beiman cavalry without war horses is a scum in the face of the foot soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
One hundred northern barbarian cavalry did not destroy Li Gan's three hundred town army, but half of them lost their lives. As for the rest, although they didn't die, they lost their mounts.
"Kill—"
Li Gan roared, took the lead and charged with a knife.
The Beiman soldiers opposite him also ran up with their knives, ready to fight against Li Gan.
However
"Pfft!"
Li Gan raised his hand, and the crossbow arrow in his hand shot straight through the man's chest.
"Scum!"
Knife to knife?
Aren't you stupid to be Lao Tzu? Obviously it can kill you with less effort, how can it be possible to consume this physical strength.
On the battlefield, every ounce of effort saved will give you more hope of saving your life.
This is the experience summed up by Dad Li Gan.
And he was handed over to the town army in Maoyuan County without reservation.
As a result, one hundred northern barbarian cavalry troops were wiped out, and the town army in Maoyuan County did not suffer any casualties.
Everyone followed Li Ganyou's example and charged forward with their knives, but when they approached the Beiman soldiers, they all pulled the trigger of the crossbow and shot the opponent with the arrow.
"Shameless Tang people!"
Xu Huairen, who had replaced the core, saw this scene and couldn't help but curse.
"High Priest!"
"Would you like to take a party with you at the end?"
A Beiman cavalry guarding Xu Huairen said respectfully.
