The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 371 King Rui Harmed Me

Chuqi felt that Prince Rui was a little too cautious and not as bold as Xiao Huaian.

But the current leader is King Rui, and he can only act according to King Rui's orders.

The second to last stronghold was the same as the previous one, with nothing unusual.

After everyone was reorganized and ready to continue their journey, King Rui suddenly said, "Chuqi, you take 3,000 troops and go first, I will take the remaining 2,000 people back to the camp."

Chuqi was stunned when he heard this.

"My Lord, what happened at the camp?"

"I suspect the barbarians will take this opportunity to attack our camp. You take the catapult and three thousand men and go ahead. When you reach the next camp, act according to the original plan!"

"But Your Majesty, will this affect the speed of the march? Military Advisor Xiao is still waiting for us to join him over there!"

"Don't worry, we will come back as soon as possible!" After King Rui said this, he counted two thousand people and really turned around and walked back.

Chuqi had a hundred things in his mind that he didn't understand.

When marching or fighting a war, the most taboo thing is to change orders every day.

General Qi was guarding the camp, so why did they have to go back to provide support? Did the prince receive some news?

With doubt and dissatisfaction, Chuqi led the remaining troops to move forward.

When he was five miles away from the last stronghold, he suddenly sensed a hint of danger.

"stop!"

Chuqi raised his right hand and made a stop gesture.

All the people behind stopped.

"On to the trebuchet!"

Chuqi continued to give instructions.

Three catapults were pushed up, and after they were set up, they threw huge stones towards the opposite side.

This place is a bit far from the camp, so the stones can't hit the target accurately. Occasionally, a stone falls on the roof opposite, making a clattering sound.

But this time is different from before.

As the stone was thrown, someone really ran out.

He shook the chess piece in his hand and made a "cla-cla-cla-cla" sound.

At the same time, countless barbarians suddenly emerged from behind the surrounding snow-white hills.

They wore fur coats and held scimitars in their hands, like jackals waiting to hunt.

Chuqi looked around and found that the other side had about one or two thousand people.

Just when I was thinking that I could easily deal with these people, I heard the sound of war horses neighing behind me.

A group of cavalry appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them.

Chuqi thought to himself that something was wrong.

They were exposed in the wilderness, with no shelter around them. With their current strength, they could withstand small-scale raids, but had no way of resisting a pincer attack from a larger number of people than themselves.

What's more, the catapult is their most important tool for siege. Even if they lead their men to break through the siege, if the catapult falls into the hands of the enemy, then their plan to sneak attack on Xueyue City will completely fail.

The barbarians slowly gathered together.

They brandished their weapons and tripwires aggressively.

There were multiple enemy troops on all sides, and they looked at the soldiers of Daliang with the intention of tearing their bones and skinning them alive.

In this situation, the only way to survive is to burn your boats.

"Prince Rui has done a lot of harm to me!" Chuqi complained in his heart!

But this thought only flashed through his mind, he raised the knife in his hand and shouted:

"My fellow soldiers, you and I are trapped here now. If we fail to kill these barbarians, not only will we die here, but it will also ruin the plans of Military Advisor Xiao and General Qi.

The only solution now is to fight to the death, kill! "

As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to ride forward and chopped off the head of the barbarian opposite him with his sword.

"kill!"

The soldiers were suddenly surrounded and were initially terrified, but when they saw the blood of the barbarians killed by Chuqi dye the snow beneath their feet red, the fire of revenge in their hearts was ignited to the extreme.

Everyone moved forward together, continuously chopping down the oncoming enemies and breaking through in the direction of Xueyue City.

At this moment, a roar suddenly broke out from the northeast, and a team rushed straight towards them like a sharp knife.

They brandished the long swords in their hands, quickly rushed behind the barbarians, and thrust the sharp swords into their bodies. In an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the barbarian cavalry was immediately thrown into disarray by the fear.

At the same time, a team also came straight in from the southeast.

King Rui brandished his silver spear, knocked over one on his left, then swung it to the right and knocked over another one, his movements were neat and graceful.

He looked at Chu Qi's surprised expression and laughed loudly, "Not bad, at least he managed to remain calm in the face of danger."

Chu Qi didn't say anything. He raised his foot and kicked the barbarian in front of him in the chest. The thousands of words in his heart merged into one sentence: "Fuck!"

He was used as bait by King Rui!

It turned out that when King Rui was at the last stronghold, he discovered that there were eagles flying in the sky above this stronghold.

This kind of eagle is called the Gyrfalcon, the most ferocious of all falcons, and is often trained by barbarians to monitor the enemy.

The appearance of a Saker Falcon there means that there must be people in the next stronghold, and they have already discovered the movements of this team.

King Rui figured out the reason after a little thought.

The reason why the barbarians gave up the previous strongholds was that they must have wanted to concentrate their forces and fight a decisive battle with Daliang's team in the last stronghold.

They made preparations early, which means they got the news early.

Faced with this situation, King Rui had to temporarily change his strategy.

He asked Chuqi to lead the men ahead, let the barbarians take the bait first, and find out their strength.

After the other side's ambushers came out from the dark, King Rui led his men to attack from behind.

He made a double-sword cavalry formation.

Attack your enemies from behind, split them up, and then defeat them one by one.

Chu Qi watched as the enemy's army was torn into pieces by the cavalry and could no longer gather together, so he seized the opportunity and directed his men to take advantage of the situation to infiltrate the enemy, leaving them no chance to breathe.

The barbarians had no armor, and most of them wore clothes made of animal skins.

Such clothes can help them resist the cold, but they suffer great losses in battle.

When the sharp knife came, they had no time to cover their buttocks before they were stabbed through and turned into bloody gourds.

Chuqi was happy to see the situation reversed.

Just as he was about to shout "Kill", he was knocked to the ground by the butt of King Rui's gun.

As soon as Chuqi landed on the ground, a scimitar flashed past his head.

The owner of the scimitar missed his target and before he could retract his attack, he was shot dead by King Rui.

Chuqi quickly jumped up, bowed to King Rui, said "thank you", and turned around to join the battle.

There was a vast expanse of snow all around, and the wilderness was filled with snowy hills. But where the two armies were fighting, the snow had already been dyed red with blood.

The warm blood sprayed on the snow, melting the ice and snow, gradually gathering into a stream, meandering forward.

Since the barbarians have concentrated their troops and ambushed here, they must have known about their movements long ago.

However, the troops here should be the main force in the city, so Xiao Huaian should be safe.

At this time, the barbarian army had been defeated and its morale was low, while the Daliang soldiers were in high spirits. King Rui planned to end the battle quickly and not fight with them.

However, the barbarians obviously realized that the current situation was not in their favor. Their leader Budaru gave a signal and called on everyone to retreat together.

"They're going to run!"

In between the attacks, Chuqi turned around and shouted at King Rui.

"Let the fast ones run, and deal with the slow ones first!"

King Rui responded while fighting.

It didn't take long before the barbarian cavalry retreated like the tide.

The remaining wounded soldiers and infantrymen had no time to retreat and were all beheaded by the Daliang soldiers.

For a moment, the vast snowy ground was littered with corpses, and the barbarians' flags were tattered and swaying in the wind.

King Rui looked at the direction in which those people retreated, raised his hand holding the spear, and shouted: "Forward!"

The whole team continued to move forward.

Ding Qiao brought Ye Xinran out from behind the hill in the northeast corner.

They had been mixed in with King Rui's team. Just now, they pretended to retreat with King Rui and then outflanked him from the side.

When the team was attacking, Ding Qiao protected Ye Xinran and hid behind, never showing up.

Ye Xinran is very self-aware.

If she goes out like this she will only cause trouble, so it's better to stay away from her.

……

Budalu fled to Snow Moon City as quickly as possible with the remaining soldiers.

Just when they were about to reach the city gate, a group of people suddenly came out and stopped them.

Budalu pulled the reins, looked at the city gate not far away, and shouted curses.

The sentinels on the city wall had been watching the movements here and did not notice how Xiao Huaian's team arrived.

Seeing the two groups fighting, the sentry quickly called out to his companions who were watching the city gate: "Don't open the city gate yet, there are enemies!"

The barbarians were still in shock from the beating they had just received and had no desire to continue fighting.

The original plan was to use the speed of the cavalry to quickly pass through the obstruction and enter the city.

But when Budaru saw the half-open city gate was closed again, he was anxious and angry, and shouted: "Fuck!"

Since we can’t go back to the city, we have no choice but to fight these people to the death.

He looked at the Daliang soldiers, all full of vigor, and cursed:

"The damn Liang people are too cunning, we have been deceived again!"

Budaru cursed, but the knife in his hand slashed towards Xiao Huaian mercilessly.

Xiao Huaian swung his sword to meet the knife without wasting any words.

The soldiers were well-trained. They took out the lassoes and scimitars that they had prepared in advance and attacked the horses specifically. After knocking the horses down, they would go up and chop the people.

For a moment, the sound of war horses neighing and shouting of killing filled the air.

Xiao Huaian and his group actually arrived not long ago.

According to the original plan, they were to wait where they were and wait for King Rui and his men to arrive, and then the two teams would join together and attack the city together.

But Budaru's cavalry ran too hastily. From a distance, one could see that they were the remnants of a group of soldiers who had been beaten and were fleeing in panic.

Xiao Huaian has always advocated cutting the grass without leaving any roots. How could he let such a cavalry without combat effectiveness go back to recuperate?

After a brief thought, Xiao Huaian immediately made the decision to intercept them.

The cavalry originally had the advantage, but Budaru and his men had just been defeated and had lost their morale, and their numbers were not as large as those brought by Xiao Huaian.

For a moment, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the war horses were almost squeezed together.

Xiao Huaian seized the opportunity and flew forward, stepping on other people's shoulders and coming to Budaru's horse.

Budalu was startled and swung his knife hastily.

Xiao Huaian turned the sword and chopped straight at the horse's head.

After a neigh, the huge horse head fell to the ground with a bang, and the splattering blood covered the head of the person opposite.

Budalu fell down along with the horse.

Xiao Huaian raised the sword in his hand and moved forward again, blocking the Budaru scimitar. At the same time, he grabbed his ankle with one hand and turned him around with the momentum.

Budalu was terrified.

He was huge, almost twice the size of the man in front of him, but he was lifted up easily.

However, Xiao Huaian did not give him more time to think about it.

After spinning once, the sword in the other hand stabbed straight up and pierced the man through.

Before Budaru could even let out a muffled groan, Xiao Huaian had already quickly pulled out the inserted sword and cut off Budaru's head like cutting vegetables.

"Listen to me, barbarians. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, otherwise you will end up like him."

Xiao Huaian's voice was loud and clear. When the barbarians heard his shout, they all looked towards the head in his hand.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Without a leader, the remaining soldiers will be like a pile of scattered sand.

When the barbarians saw Budaru's head, they immediately lost their remaining fighting spirit.

They whipped their horses' buttocks desperately in an attempt to break out of the encirclement.

A few people rushed out and ran to the city wall, shouting loudly for them to open the city gate.

The general in the city had already reached the city wall. He saw a man from Daliang holding up his companion's head in the crowd. He was immediately furious: "Shoot, shoot! Send our Tiger Team out to fight!"

"But Budu'er, look behind you."

His subordinate pointed and saw another team rushing towards this side.

Sitting on a horse at the front of the team was a tall and straight general. The silver spear in his hand reflected a dazzling light in the snow.

"There are so many of them coming. What if we open the city gate and they rush in?"

Buduer looked at the newcomers, weighed the pros and cons, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Make good defenses and guard the city gates. We must not let them enter the city!"

"Yes!"

All the guards were in place, and they felt very uncomfortable watching their companions under the city being beaten and fleeing in all directions by the Liang army.

They held bows in their hands and immediately shot arrows when they saw the Liang people within range.

After a few times, Xiao Huaian discovered the problem and told everyone not to cross the border, so the barbarians in the city could not hurt them.

King Rui and his troops quickly arrived.

He saw the situation here from a long distance, and when he got closer, he immediately commanded a small team to fight against the barbarian cavalry.

Soon, the remaining barbarians were chased by the Daliang army and fled behind the city.

The city fell silent for a while.

Only some broken corpses were left.

The team stood in line.

Xiao Huaian led his men to stand behind the cavalry. The whole team was in high spirits as they faced the barbarians in the city.

This was once their land.

Inside are the parents, brothers and sisters of countless Daliang people.

Buduer looked at the Daliang soldiers under the city and said mockingly, "I heard that today is the New Year that you Daliang people value the most.

On such a good day, you don't stay at home with your wife and children, but have to run over here to seek death. Don't you know that you won't survive this year?"

"Pooh!"

Prince Rui spat fiercely.
