The cavalry of the aristocratic family, which had been formed after great effort, lost in their first war. Seeing the remaining cavalry who fled back one after another, Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu were both shocked and angry.

It was difficult for them to understand why Yun Zhao's cavalry suddenly appeared on the road they were advancing. Their distance from here was much farther than that of Li Yang from Xiangshui Town. Even if they came with no effort, how could the tired war horses still launch such an irresistible attack?

Of course, Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu would not understand that Yun Zhao's personal guard camp had two concepts, fighting horses and riding horses. Each soldier in the personal guard camp had two horses, one pack horse and the other for combat.

It is great to get enough war horses for these families located in the Central Plains. There is still plenty of effort to equip cavalry with special pack horses? Moreover, this is something that you can’t buy even if you have money!

The rapid defeat of the cavalry brought great difficulties to Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu. First of all, it was internal problems. The private army originally regarded the cavalry as their treasures, but now it did not even catch up, and was swallowed by the Northern Army, bones and flesh. The central army tent was filled with private generals who came to ask for an explanation. The idea of ​​everyone was very simple. If the two had not insisted on gathering all the cavalry together and forming a cavalry group to attack first, their cavalry treasure would not have died without fulfilling their ambitions.

The two of them tried their best to make countless promises, and finally comforted these irritable guys. The other two also understood in their hearts that these people were just taking this opportunity to squeeze out. They had no other way except to agree. At this time, the first priority was to maintain the unity of the entire group. Otherwise, they would be defeated before the fight started.

After defeating the cavalry of the aristocratic families, Yun Zhao's cavalry neither went to Xiangshui Town nor launched any attacks on them. Instead, they were in a state of constant distance from this huge private army. This distance can be launched at any time for cavalry, but for infantry, it seems too far to attack.

This made Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu unbearable. Although the army was still approaching Xiangshui Town, the speed of traveling every day was not much faster than that of a snail. It would be great to be able to advance about ten miles a day. Yun Zhao's cavalry occasionally looked like they were about to attack, and each time they had to be warned with all their strength, because feigning skills could turn into real attacks at any time, and the advance infantry encountered the raided cavalry. It would be fatal.

Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu discussed for a long time and decided to advance in a rolling manner, dividing the entire group into more than ten parts, one forward, and the others were alert and rotated. In this way, although the speed was not fast, the entire group would be held into a group, like a hedgehog, making Yun Zhao's cavalry unable to speak out. Even if he launched an attack, he would not get any gains.

In the past few days, fleeing cavalry fled one after another, and five thousand cavalry went out. The last ones came back, less than two thousand people, almost equivalent to the destruction of the entire army. What annoyed the leaders of the coalition were that these cavalry returned not only their bodies, but also fear. The battle with the Northern Army completely broke the courage of these cavalry.

Yun Zhao naturally would not attack the opponent's army that had already been guarded. The defeat of the opponent's cavalry had achieved the first goal of his main attack, and the rest was to delay the opponent's time. On the one hand, the deployment of Zeng Ke and Shangguan Biao in Xiangshui Town, and on the other hand, Meng Yao had enough time to arrive.

At this time, after Zeng Ke met with Shangguan Biao in Xiangshui Town, they were starting to establish a defense line at the fastest possible speed. Next, in several days, they had to face nearly ten times their enemy troops. Keeping, sticking, and waiting for the arrival of the large army would be their only task.

Everyone in Xiangshui Town was mobilized by them. There were two or three thousand people in Xiangshui Town. During the days when the ancient galaxy occupied Xiangshui Town, the people here suffered serious crimes. All the food in their homes were taken away, and the people here were almost starved to death. After entering Xiangshui Town, they immediately set up a porridge shed and distributed porridge to these hungry people to save their lives. Of course, from the next day, these porridge will no longer be free. Everyone must serve the Northern Army to obtain food.

Building temporary fortresses requires people, digging trenches, building chest walls requires people, cutting down trees and erecting fences requires people, even the elderly, weak, women and children are not useless. At this time, hundreds of thunderbolt cannons have been installed, and the thunderbolt cannons can be carried with them, but the stone bullets required for the thunderbolt cannons can be temporarily made, and these people can be used to polish stone bullets. Grinding irregular stones into round shapes will increase exponentially.

On the front of Xiangshui Town's defense line, countless antlers and horse-resisting horses were plastered layer by layer. In the middle, countless caltrops were sprinkled with them. These triangular gadgets could easily pierce any soles and pierce into the soles of the feet.

When Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu worked hard to arrive at Xiangshui Town, Xiangshui Town standing in front of them was beyond recognition. A fully equipped and heavily guarded military fortress made all the generals of the aristocratic families gasp. The countless fortresses, trenches, chest walls, and thunderbolt cannons that could be seen in the naked eye formed a complete line of defense that echoed front, back, left and right.

They were unable to arrive in Xiangshui Town in time, and they finally had to pay the price for it. The original surprise attack turned into a strong attack, and Zhao Pu only felt extremely bitter in his mouth.

"It's okay!" Huang Xuanwu comforted him, "No matter how stable the position is, they only have a team of thousands of people. If we can grind him, we can grind him to death!"

"Can't grind!" Zhao Pu said firmly: "We must defeat them as quickly as possible. Yun Zhao's cavalry is still coveting us. You can imagine that the opponent will inevitably have troops to support him later. If I am not wrong, it must be Meng Yao. We cannot have such an awl behind us when we meet Meng Yao later."

"Two generals, look!" Someone exclaimed and pointed at the enemy's defense line in Xiangshui Town.

The two looked up and saw two thick and high flagpoles erected there. The top of the flagpole was wide and a cross was nailed, and there was a person tied to each of them. A long white cloth fluttered in the wind, with the names of Qiu Kailai and Gu Xinghe written on it. Obviously, the two people who were standing up to demonstrate were the two of them. Seeing that the people on the flagpole were still squirming, they were obviously still alive.

The so-called rabbit dies and foxes are sad. Seeing the tragic situation between Qiu Kailai and Gu Xinghe, all the generals of the aristocratic family were angered.

"Attack, kill in. Rescue the two generals Qiu Gu!"

"Kill in, no one left!"

"Catch them and light the sky lantern!"

Noisy, angry voices filled Zhao and Huang's ears.

"The enemy wanted to demonstrate, but it backfired!" Huang Xuanwu smiled and said, "General Zhao, the morale of the army is available!"

"Of course!" Zhao Pu twisted his beard, "Attack, attack, take down Xiangshui Town in one go!"

The central army was waving the flag, countless war drums sounded, and amid the shocking shouts, the private army of the aristocratic families began to attack Xiangshui Town.

Zeng Ke narrowed his eyes, and a slight radiance flashed in the long narrow slits of his eyes. Shangguan Biao once told his subordinates that Zeng Ke was not scary when he roared, and punched, kicked, or even pulled out swords and guns. The most terrifying time was that he squinted his eyes that looked very delicate without expression, because at this time, he wanted to kill people, and he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Xiangshui Town is not big, and there is no need to surround 50,000 people. Half of them came, the Xiangshui Town was surrounded tightly. At this time, the opponents were surrounded from all directions, and their momentum was extremely scary.

Zeng Ke made a gesture, and in an instant, the thunder cannons in Xiangshui Town began to roar with angry roars, and stone bullets shook out of the air and smashed the opponent running wildly in the distance.

Xiangshui Town is not an important city defense center. Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu originally thought that this would be a field battle, an extremely fast annihilation battle, but they never expected that five thousand cavalrymen were defeated in the field, and then under the harassment of Yun Zhao's cavalry, their speed was like a turtle climbing, dragging them to Xiangshui Town's opponents calmly to build city defense. If Zhao and Huang were still calm, the best way at this time was to stop the attack first, and at least prepare some long-range offensive weapons. However, Qiu Kailai and Gu Xinghe are now hanging high above the opponent's position, causing all the generals of the aristocratic families to lose their minds.

They want to use human-sea tactics to flood their opponents.

The polished round stone bullet fell on the hard ground and bounced high, like a ball, jumping and rotating, without any rules at all. Perhaps a thumb-sized stone on the ground would change direction, which made his lethality particularly high. When each stone bullet stopped completely exhausted, it turned red and became sticky on it, with a slight red and white thing on it.

"Will you fight back later, do you go, or I go?" Zeng Ke looked back at Shangguan Biao and asked.

"Of course I'll go!" Shangguan Biao smiled and said, "The cavalry under my command have almost no losses, but yours have many casualties. It's reasonable and I should go."

Zeng Ke's eyes suddenly narrowed again, and looked at Shangguan Biao for a while, and let out a breath of turbid air with a puff, "I will give you all the cavalry under my command."

"That's good. I heard that you have a scout captain who grew up in the Mengren. The horse control technique, the rushing technique, and the horse fighting technique are all the best choices. I just happened to see it and let my cavalry learn a little."

It’s okay if you don’t mention Yan Wei. When you mention Yan Wei, Zeng Ke’s face turned green! He wished he could kick Shangguan Biao away with his butt. (To be continued.
