Chapter 212: Eighteen horses take the lead
At this time, it was time to meet on a narrow road and the brave would win. Huang Yi put aside all distracting thoughts and focused on killing the enemy.
He is still leading the way, oh no!
It should be eighteen horses leading the way!
Those were the seventeen most capable warriors from Karitu, Huxiaochuan, Huxiaogu, etc. Not only did they not fall behind, most of them outpaced more than half a horse length.
The more than five hundred riders seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all rushed towards the gathering place of the slaves.
Huang Yi's men and horses suddenly came from behind, forming an absolute advantage in local strength.
The hundreds and dozens of Jiannu who held the battle suddenly suffered a huge loss, and in the blink of an eye, they lost nearly a hundred cavalry.
Zhaisalmu was lucky. He had already rushed to the front and was not seen by Huang Yi or Ka Laitu and Hu Xiaochuan.
When he entered the camp and saw his relatives dead and injured everywhere, Karatu howled like a hungry wolf.
He was tall and strong and rode a tall horse, so he was immediately spotted by many men, women and children from the Hedanbaatar tribe.
At this time of life and death, many tribesmen were so excited that they burst into tears when they saw the majestic first warrior!
"Look! Katubatulu is back and has brought so many armored cavalry. We are saved!"
"Huang Yibatulu must have arrived. God of longevity, Huang Yibatulu is really a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!"
"Brothers! Karatu is here with the reinforcements, don't let the Haraqins go!"
"Hedan Battle, Hedan Battle, you have to hold on! Karitu is back, and Huang Yibatulu's reinforcements are here." The old knight Agush's voice was filled with tears.
Hedanbaat'er was brave. He risked his life in fighting and risked his life in escaping. He did not abandon his wife and children or his tribe today, but escaped with only his elite.
Because he had hope in his heart and felt that he was not fighting alone. There was Huang Yibatulu who was both wise and brave in the mountains.
Calculating the time, Huang Yi's reinforcements should have arrived long ago.
If Huang Yi only cares about protecting himself and is unwilling to go out to rescue, Karatu should also be back.
Hedanbaatar is not worried that Karitu will rebel. He has been a brother since he was a child, and he is still a down-to-earth person who does not play tricks. Karitu has always been Hedanbaatar's most trusted right-hand man.
Otherwise, we would not place our only hope on Karitu.
Hedanbaat'er was not worried that the first warrior Karitu would be intercepted and killed on the way to break out of the encirclement.
Firstly, the nine people in Karitu's belt are all young adults who are skilled in bow and horse. They are all the bravest warriors. They are riding the best horses that can only be selected from a thousand miles. If they want to run, hundreds of them will go.
Thousands of people may not be able to catch up.
Second, if Karatu and the warriors who broke through were intercepted and killed, Zhaisalmu and Seleng, etc., in order to undermine the morale of Hedanbaatar's tribe, would definitely single out the heads of Karatu and others for public display.
People always worry about gains and losses!
In the past, Hedanbaat'er only had a few dozen knights and didn't even have a pair of iron armor.
The tribe is too small, too poor, and has nothing to lose. Its greatest wealth is the dozens of warriors who never leave.
Therefore, when he found a powerful enemy approaching and felt that he could not defeat him, he never fought to the end, and always led his warriors to flee.
Today, Hedanbaatar has a population of more than 10,000, and it can be said that the family has a big business.
He was no longer willing to abandon his beloved wife and concubines, leave behind his hard-earned wealth, and escape with only dozens of people.
In addition, he had hope, so he kept fighting. Even though there were thousands of casualties and he himself was wounded many times, he still fought bloody battles.
Just when he couldn't hold on and collapsed, the enemy collapsed, and there were shouts of "Huang Yi Batulu is coming to kill" and "Karaitu Batulu is back" everywhere.
Hedanbaatar, who could not hold on anymore and had already resigned himself to his fate, seemed to have been given a shot in the arm. He actually turned on his horse and shouted: "All brothers who can still mount their horses, follow me and take revenge!"
"Is your injury okay? It scared me just now!" The old knight Agush was surprised and happy.
"I was exhausted. After lying down for a while, I regained my strength. Brothers, follow me and kill all the slaves!"
"Revenge! Revenge! Kill all Jiannu and the Haraqin bastards!" There was a response, and many figures immediately jumped on the back of the horse.
Strangely enough, Hedanbaat'er, who originally thought that all his men were dead or wounded, suddenly discovered that there were no less than a thousand people who could still mount their horses and fight, including three or four hundred young and middle-aged knights.
He was immediately inspired and felt full of strength. He waved his Mongolian scimitar and drove his horse towards the densest concentration of enemy cavalry to kill them.
Huang Yi, Karatu and more than 500 cavalry attacked from behind and had already stunned the Jiannu and Haraqin coalition forces.
They suffered another full-scale counterattack by Hedanbaatar's troops, and the situation was completely out of control.
Zhang Dong pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand, and a fleeing Jiannu armored man was shot in the back with a scream and fell from his horse.
After loading the crossbow skillfully again, he shouted loudly in Mongolian: "Brothers of the Haraqin tribes, surrender without killing! Don't sacrifice your life for the Jurchens!"
Hedanbaatar shouted: "Brothers, don't let those Jurchen bastards go! Kill them all!"
Zhang Dong once again fired a crossbow arrow to kill a Haraqin cavalryman who was slashing with a knife, and shouted at the top of his voice to persuade him to surrender:
"Brothers from the Karaqin tribes, listen carefully. Your families and children are all alive and well! Surrender quickly!"
Bao Zhide has never left Zhang Dong's side, and he also holds a crossbow in his hand. This is also one of the qualified products of Qi Xiaoshan's team.
His Mongolian was also very good, and he began to loudly persuade him to surrender:
"If you kneel down and surrender immediately, not only will your lives be spared, but your family will also be reunited!"
In terms of cavalry combat skills, Zhang Dong, Bao Zhide, and He Qingyuan are definitely the worst among the 500 cavalrymen.
But when it comes to persuading surrender and ideological work, they are unparalleled.
Of course, when it comes to using Lumi guns, bird guns, and matchlock guns, the shooting skills of the three of them should be among the best.
Now Zhang Dong and Bao Zhide are holding crossbows with pulleys and cooperating with each other. One of Jiannu's Bagalas was killed.
The Haraqin coalition forces were tired and defeated, and felt that there was no hope!
They all know that their lair has been captured, and the only chance for a comeback is to break through Hedanbaatar's headquarters and capture it.
What now?
More than half of the Karaqin cavalry lost their energy and spirit. They accepted their fate and jumped off their horses and knelt down to beg for surrender.
Why don't they run?
Because they had been fighting continuously for three or four hours, every time they attacked, they felt that Hedanbaatar's army was going to collapse, and they just needed to work harder.
However, their joy was in vain every time, and Hedanbaat'er's tribe barely managed to hold on.
The final blow of Jiannu's joining finally became the straw that broke the camel's back. With the fall of Hedanbaatar, the resistance of the unit was suddenly weakened by more than half.
However, the happiness of the Karaqin people was too short-lived. Within a quarter of an hour, they suddenly heard the news that reinforcements from Hedanbaat'er's tribe had arrived.
Chapter completed!
