"Mr. Hong, the situation is not good. It seems that there are thousands of cavalry." Sun Changyi looked up at the valley with his triangular eyes, and saw thousands of cavalry rushing down there. He couldn't help but exclaim.

Qian Fang, who was burly and had a fat face, also stared at the cavalry and said, "These are the rebels of Xingye City? Why did they come here? Could it be that Giant Wood City was captured?"

"It shouldn't be. Jumu City has 40,000 defenders. In addition, Panshi City has dispatched more than 10,000 reinforcements yesterday. Moreover, the Jumu City is built on the mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I think Xiao Tianci's son will definitely not be so easy to capture Jumu City." Hong Jingtian's face changed slightly, and he said, touching his long beard, "Look at this Qianyu Cavalry, I guess he's just here to inquire about the news, right?"

"Mr. Hong said very much." Sun Changyi nodded, "We have tens of thousands of troops, and these rebels dare to rush over, which is simply seeking death."

"Hmph! It's just a small bandit. Just send a side army to take them down." Li Qinghe snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Hong Jingtian's face, he glanced at him and said coldly, "General Li is majestic, why don't you take a team of troops to capture all these small bandits in one go?"

"I..." Li Qinghe was speechless and silent.

"Soft Oop!" Hong Jingtian cursed softly, and looked at the enemy getting closer and closer and said, "General Sun, you lead three thousand archers and other enemies to face each other head-on. General Qian, you lead two thousand light cavalry to wait for the enemy to escape and chase them quickly. Be sure to wipe out all the enemies in the future and not let anyone go."

Sun Changyi and Qian Fang both accepted the order in unison.

Hong Jingtian continued, "Everyone, this battle is the first battle of our coalition forces. Be sure to show your might. General Sun, please let the three thousand archers close and shoot before shooting, so as to prevent the enemy from scattering and fleeing like a frightened bird."

"Yes!" Sun Changyi nodded and turned around to dispatch the archer.

Soon three thousand archers set out and raised their longbows in unison to aim at the speeding enemy troops.

Zhang Liao led the leader, seeing the other party's posture, a sneer flashed across his face and shouted, "Hold the crossbow and shoot the arrows in three consecutive shots."

The thousand cavalrymen kept horses, holding the reins in one hand and shooting with the crossbow in the other hand. "Swish!" A rain of arrows shot straight away. The enemy archer who was holding the bow fell down immediately."

The light crossbow had a very fast firing rate, and coupled with the cavalry's impact, three rounds of crossbow arrows were shot out in the blink of an eye. Zhang Liao quickly pulled the horse rope and the war horse immediately turned his head.

“Retreat quickly.”

He shouted, and thousands of people and horses turned their heads neatly and retreated in the direction they came. The whole process was extremely fast, without any delay, and without even looking at the enemy's casualties.

"Bastard, shoot quickly." When Zhang Liao and the others had already run a hundred meters away, Hong Jingtian realized that he was so angry that these bandits did not follow the rules. They shot two or three arrows and turned around and ran away. Are you like this?

The archers who had hundreds of casualties in front of them pulled their bows and fought back, but unfortunately Zhang Liao and the others had already run away. Even a mosquito was not shot.

"Damn it! General Qian, quickly lead the cavalry to chase him. I want all these bastards to die." Hong Jingtian was like a volcano erupting, his old face was blue and black, and he shouted loudly in the rooster's voice.

Qian Fang's face was also astonished. The other party was so provocative that he didn't take them seriously. It was a slap in the face. Without saying much, he just took two thousand light cavalry and caught up with him.

Both sides fled and chased the mountain road, and Zhang Liao deliberately slowed down occasionally, allowing Qian Fang behind to catch up when he saw the distance was closer.

After both sides rushed out several miles away, Zhang Liao suddenly asked the soldiers to stop their horses, and Qianqi actually immediately rode on the road. Qian Fang, who was chasing behind, was immediately overjoyed when he saw this and urged his men to speed up again.

When the two sides were less than a hundred meters apart, Qian Fang was frightened to see that the opponent's cavalry actually raised a crossbow in his hands.

"Hurry, stop quickly." Qian Fang was so scared that she was so scared that she hurriedly grabbed the horse and shouted loudly. However, it was too late, and more than a thousand arrows were still greeted. Suddenly, his two thousand light riders were overturned, and countless people were shot down. The whole scene was extremely chaotic.

When Qian Fang finally reorganized all the troops and was about to fight back, the thieves actually ran away with their feet. That abominable thing, Qian Fang looked at Zhang Liao, who was leaving with resentment, and several words of greeting his mother broke out in his mouth.

"General, are you still chasing me?" asked the cavalry under his command.

Qian Fang turned her head, her face shook with flesh, and said angrily, "Why are you chasing me? A bunch of wastes, why don't you take those injured back?"

After the two thousand chasing cavalry left more than 300 bodies, they returned to the large army. Qian Fang shrank and regained his life to Hong Jingtian. Seeing that the enemy did not catch up, Hong Jingtian lost hundreds of cavalry again, his face became even more ugly, and he snorted coldly, "Everyone, it seems that this bandit has made up his mind to use the harassment tactic. I wonder what can you do to guard against?"

Sun Changyi and Wei Biao looked at each other, and Sun Changyi said directly, "Sir, these bandits do not have much threat. I think they can make the archers defend themselves. They can quickly shoot arrows as soon as they come to prevent them from approaching. In addition, let the sword and shield troops be in the front. When the bandits come, they can raise their shields to defend against arrows. Of course, no matter how they defend, there are loopholes. The most important thing now is that we must hurry up to the Giant Wood City and see the distance. This place is not far from the Giant Wood City, and it will be reached in half a day at most. These bandits are just small matters, and rescue Giant Wood City is a big matter, sir."

After hearing this, Hong Jingtian was silent, then nodded and said, "General Sun said it well, just do what you said, go and arrange it directly. In addition, notify the soldiers to speed up the marching and strive to arrive at Jumu City before dark."

"yes!"

....

On the valley hundreds of meters away, Zhang Liao and others turned back again, stopped here and watched the enemy army from afar. Seeing the enemy's formation change, the sword, shield and hand suddenly broke in front, and the archer followed closely behind. Zhang Liao couldn't help but frowned. It seemed that the other party had noticed his intention and directly changed the formation to deal with it.

"Sir, the enemy has been prepared. How should we do it later?" a young cavalryman beside him asked.

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's okay, if you send orders, you can hold your troops down first, listen to my orders, wait for the enemy to approach, and then rush out. So what if there is a response? Let's fight them with a bad reaction. If you ask everyone to rush out, then shoot for one round and run away. Even if there are a few of these people, it doesn't matter. I believe that when all the archers react and shoot the arrows, we have already run away."

"Yes, general, my subordinates will go and pass the order."

Soon, Hong Jingtian's army had already entered. Perhaps because he saw that the thief army had not appeared, most of the archers who had been holding longbows were a little relaxed. After all, it was not a big deal to keep holding bows and arrows, and they had to speed up their journey. They were not machines and were already tired.

However, at this moment, a whistle came, and Zhang Liao suddenly rode his horse with more than a thousand cavalrymen. After another round of arrows shot away, he immediately turned around and ran away.

The arrows shot into the crowd, but fortunately most of them were blocked by the sword and shield soldiers who were pressing in the front. Only a very small number of people who were distracted were shot by crossbow arrows, and dozens of casualties fell to the ground.

The longbowmen reacted quickly. When the cavalry rushed out, many people pulled up the longbows. When the group of people turned around and fled, the long arrows in their hands also shot over.

Zhang Liao beat the horse's head and shouted while running, "Everyone bows and hides on the side of the horse. Don't look back and escape in dispersion."

These thousand knights were all selected by Zhang Liao as masters of riding skills. When they heard the order, they dodged left and right on the horse's back like performing acrobatics. Fortunately, the number of bows and arrows started shooting was not too many, and this time, when they ran away, a large number of arrows were shot out.

Seeing that the bandits ran away again, he lost dozens of people again, but he didn't even have a horse left behind. Hong Jingtian was angry and angry, but there was no good idea. After all, these bandits were too mobile, and the timing of attack was often unexpected and they could not be defended. Fortunately, they were now prepared, and the losses were minimal. But every time they were messed up by the other party, making all the soldiers below complain and miserable.

In this way, the group of people walked for more than two hours in fear. They were about to reach the Jinjiling Mountains, and the bandits never appeared again. Hong Jingtian and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. During these two hours, they were highly focused and paid attention to the surrounding winds and movements at any time. The short journey was twice as long as they walked. In addition, it was late autumn, and the afternoon sun was lazily shooting on these soldiers, making these soldiers who had been on the road for several days even more sleepy, drowsy, and many lieutenants were listless. The entire team was all tilted, and there was no formation at all.

Now, Zhang Liao, who was far ahead, would certainly not miss such an opportunity. He and the wretched cavalry appeared again. Before the sleepy enemy troops reacted again, they rushed over and ran away after a few more arrows.

Hong Jingtian's troops fell down another hundred people. At this moment, he had no mood to curse. He looked at Zhang Liao and others weakly, his eyes full of helplessness and indignation.

Seeing that it was almost at Jinjiling, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to attack this, and planned to go directly to join Xiao Tianci's large army. Although the harassment today did not cause a large number of casualties from the other party, it also made them miserable. Zhang Liao's purpose of harassing the tired enemy was achieved. After Qianqi returned to Jinjiling, he had already given tens of thousands of soldiers a full meal. Xiao Tianci, who was resting with great energy, immediately came forward to him.

"Wen Yuan, how is it? What's the situation?" Xiao Tianci asked impatiently as soon as he approached.
