Chapter 2596

Hami has a beautiful spring.

In the season of recovery of all things, Hami is full of scenes and breath of spring.

The breath of spring is hard to describe. Is it vibrant? There seems to be some meaning.

A group of scouts wandered on the grassland. Listening to his subordinates' description of spring, Xie 16 mostly thought of women, so he scolded: "spring is a woman? Do you think women are crazy?"

A group of scouts laughed and someone said, "Sir, brothers have been here for three years. Where are the women?"

Xie 16 scolded, "your daughter-in-law takes care of the children at home, runs the family business and has to take care of the elderly. You have the heart to mess around outside?"

His men laughed, and then someone said, "Sir, last time the coalition troops came down to Hami City, when will they attack the city?"

Xie 16 looked at the two scouts disappearing in front, looked back and said cautiously: "it's hard to say. The last time there were more than 3000 enemy troops, it was just the scale of Rangers. Whether they did their best... It still depends on the sentry in Yili."

As soon as he finished, he saw that his men were staring at the front, with a surprised face, and then turned back slowly.

In the distance, more than a thousand came on horseback.

And the two scouts he just sent out are right ahead.

"It's our Ranger!"

Seeing the speed of the friendly forces, Xie 16 knew that there was an enemy pursuit and shouted, "follow me!"

As soon as he shook his arms, his cloak was rattled by the wind.

He rushed ahead and his men followed.

They went around from the left. When they bypassed the friendly forces, someone in front screamed, "tens of thousands of people! Sir, it's the main force of the enemy!"

Xie 16 squinted at the front, looked at the cavalry pouring in, and said, "it's only two days away from Hami City. The enemy wants to boost morale. Brothers, come with me!"

He kicked his horse gently with his legs. The horse hissed and rushed out.

More than 10000 enemy cavalry and more than 100 Ming troops were scouting. The two sides galloped so fast.

The war horse galloped, and the white gas was left behind in a moment.

"It's the Scouts of the Ming army!"

The commander of the enemy army said contemptuously, "drown them!"

When the long knife came out of the scabbard, the coalition soldiers smiled ferociously in the face of their weak opponents.

Xie 16 looked back and saw that no one under his command left, so he gave a long roar.

"Left!"

When the two sides were more than a mile away, Xie 16 and his men began to withdraw from the left.

This is seducing the enemy!

But the enemy only sent more than 300 people to pursue them, and the main force still chased the Ming army's Rangers.

Xie 16 turned around and saw this situation. He knew that he couldn't be good.

He could withdraw with his men, but his morale was lost.

"Fight!"

The scouts took out their bows and crossbows and turned to meet the enemy.

After a wave of crossbows and arrows, Xie 16 fled again with his men.

Naturally, the enemy who was hit refused to give up and kept biting them.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The specially made super long lead let the hand thunder detonate for an extended time, the middle of the enemy turned upside down, and the remaining horses were running in panic.

"Kill the enemy!"

The Scout's grenade is specially made. If it needs to detonate in a short time, the lead can be cut short.

The Ming army scouts rushed in. Although the enemy was numerous, they were killed by the Ming army under the chaos.

When approaching the main force of the enemy, Xie 16 stood up and shouted, "you bastards, do you know grandpa Xie!"

Commander Wan squinted at Xie 16 in the gallop. Someone behind him shouted, "Sir, it's the elite of the Ming army!"

The movement of more than 10000 galloping up was too loud. The Ming army with more than 100 people attacked the side like ants. It felt like ants trying to shake the tree.

Xie 16 is very slippery. He only shoots the enemy with crossbows and arrows on the side. Once the enemy rushes, he will withdraw with his command.

They had one man and two horses, and the war horses were in excellent condition, at least much better than the enemy troops chasing all the way from yilibaoli, so they had not been chased.

"Bedbugs!"

The commander was annoyed to see that the Ming army in front was getting farther and farther away until he could no longer see it, so he shouted, "destroy them."

……

At the head of Hami City, Yang Xiong put down his telescope and said, "Yili is a good place, but it's not a good way."

Lin Chu, as the head of the civil service in Hami City, doesn't care about this.

"Grain is constantly transferred. Lord Yang, at present, the granaries in the city are full and must be built. In addition, if the city is broken, those grains will be used by the enemy!"

Yang Xiong's eyes were filled with anger, but he finally remembered Lin Chu's strength and loyalty to live around Hami with the people, so he suppressed his anger.

"There are almost 20000 people here, plus those civilian men who haven't left and all kinds of weapons in the warehouse. They want to break Hami City? I'm waiting for them."

Lin Chu saw the scouts in the distance: "the scouts are back. I hope it's good news."

Yang Xiong licked his lips and said, "as I said, morale will drop after being trapped in one place for a long time, so the coalition will not stay in Yili for a long time. They are coming."

A spring breeze blew, and Lin Chu took a deep breath against the spring breeze.

"They're back!"

The scouts rushed into the city gate and ran to the top of the city.

"Sir, the Ranger encountered the enemy..."

"How many people?"

"There should be more than 10000 riders in the future."

Yang Xiong sneered: "we have more than 10000 cavalry here. It's strange that they don't follow up. Otherwise, I'll dare to swallow them."

Lin Chu said with a bitter smile, "Lord Yang, we don't have many cavalry! At most, we are equal."

Yang Xiong stared at him, then turned back and shouted, "assemble! Assemble all the cavalry!"

Lin Chu knew he couldn't persuade Yang Xiong, so he ordered, "the rest of the people hurry up to the city and ask the city to prepare."

The atmosphere of war broke out in an instant.

All the people in the city went home, and the folk men began to carry the materials for guarding the city to the head of the city, and the soldiers began to mount the head of the city in line.

"Attack!"

Yang Xiong pulled out his huge double-edged long knife and rushed out of the gate first.

Ten thousand cavalry went away. Lin Chu had a headache and said, "we should guard Hami, not take the initiative!"

……

This is the first time that the coalition forces have taken the initiative in recent years.

In the past two days, the coalition forces have bitten the tail of the Ming army several times, but the Ming army is not afraid of death. The dead ones took the initiative to break away from the main force, and then rushed into the middle of the pursuit to buy time for the main force to escape.

At the moment, the Ming army ahead is not far away. The captain is wondering whether he can leave more Ming army this time.

"Rush up!"

The Allied forces ahead began to draw their bows and arrows.

The arrows were flying, and more than ten people of the broken Ming army fell off their horses.

"My Lord, I'm going!"

A hundred household official in the Ming army shouted, then turned his horse's head and ran into him with his command.

The two sides walked opposite each other and hit each other in a flash.

A hundred family officials took the lead and cut three people in a row. They rushed in.

"Kill him!" said the captain angrily

The long knives of the Allied forces began to cut one by one with the speed of the horse.

One by one, the enemy rushed from the side. After the hundred officials blocked five knives, the sixth knife could no longer be blocked.

As soon as a man falls off his horse, the horse's hooves come face to face

The more than 80 Ming troops only delayed their pursuit for a moment.

But the Ming army in front suddenly stopped.

The long man's eyes were slightly cold and shouted, "welcome up."

On the battlefield, courage is often more useful than strategy.
