MaoYuan county is located at the junction of Xiangyi Prefecture and Donglin Prefecture.

Since Xiangyi government began to promote official carriage, there have been more and more merchants going back and forth between Xiangyi government and Donglin government.

And the number of travelers who settled down in MaoYuan County naturally increased.

Originally, it was just an ordinary small town. Because of the frequent business exchanges, it suddenly became lively.

On the official road, an endless stream of cars and horses come and go. At the roadside tea shop, from time to time, some cars and horses stop to drink a cup of tea and have a rest.

"Here comes the northern barbarian!"

"Run

The shrill cry came suddenly, and several people galloped from the direction of Donglin mansion on horseback.

"Run

"Here comes the northern barbarian!"

At once the knight galloped by, shouting as he ran.

When merchants and chariots and horses on the official road heard the cry, they were stunned at first, and then ran madly towards the mountains on both sides of the road.

As for the goods?

At this time, do you need to consider whether you want life or money?

It's just a moment. Just now, the official way, which was still hot and noisy, became clean.

The tea shop on the roadside is a mess.

Some people ran into the county, others hid in the mountains.

Then, no matter the people who enter the county or hide in the mountains, they all feel the tremor of the earth.

Beimanzi, here we are!

"Close the gate!"

"Gong

Li Gan, the commander of the town army in MaoYuan County, immediately gave the order.

No one knows how the northern barbarian appeared in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but with the town army of one county, it is impossible to stop thousands of northern barbarian cavalry.

The only thing they can do is to guard MaoYuan county.

"Light the wolf smoke!"

Langyan, also known as beacon fire.

Since the king of Yan guarded Beidi, there has been no smoke in Beidi for 20 years.

Now, the wolf smoke rises again!

Li Gan didn't know why there was no smoke from the north, or why the northern cavalry suddenly appeared outside MaoYuan county.

He only knew that if Beiman attacked the city, he would have to fight to the death.

However, the northern barbarian cavalry walked around the city from MaoYuan County, all the way south.

When Chu Xiuyan, the magistrate of MaoYuan County, received the letter, he took his sword and went up to the city wall.

"Something's wrong!"

Chu Xiuyan looked at Li Gan beside him. "What do you think the northern barbarian is going to do, Captain Li?"

"Anshun County!"

Li Gan raised his head abruptly. "Beiman should be going to Anshun county. Yellow tuyere

"Come on, drum!"

"I can't go to Anshun county like this. My brother who is not afraid of death, follow me out of the city!"

Li Gan guessed the target of the northern barbarian cavalry. Without any hesitation, he gave the order to go out of the city to fight.

It's no secret that Huang tuyere and Xu Laoer cut off two little princes of Beiman.

On the contrary, in order to boost morale, the news has already spread.

At this moment, the northern barbarian cavalry appeared here in a strange way, all the way south. It was clear that they wanted to attack the old and weak women and children of the Xu family.

At first glance, it has nothing to do with them.

However, the men of Xu's family are guarding in huangfengkou. They are guarding for the safety of the Tang Dynasty.

If you watch the women and children of the Xu family die under the sword of the northern barbarian cavalry, are they still individuals?

Li dares to explain the reason in a few words.

Most of the town troops in MaoYuan county are out.

They are the town army and their duty is to guard the city. But once the war in the north is tight, they have to go to the battlefield to fight for it. Because of what the Xu family and their son did, they didn't have to work hard.

Now, the northern barbarians intend to retaliate. How can they sit back and watch?

"The magistrate of Chu County, please come to the county!"

Li dares to this Chu Xiuyan three bows, then throws more than 300 town troops to rush out of the county seat.

MaoYuan county is not big, but its garrison is only 500.

Of course, some of them are old and weak.

At the moment, more than 300 people can go out of the city with Li Gan, which is the total combat power of MaoYuan county.

"Don't play with your life, our aim is to hold them down!"

The smoke has already risen. As long as the northern barbarian cavalry is delayed and time is left for Fucheng to deal with, then these northern barbarian cavalry will never come back.

……

The commander of the northern barbarian cavalry is now Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai in women's clothes.

But at the moment, Xu Huairen just stares at Antai's skin. His mind has already changed. He is still a woman.

"I don't know if I'll die, I'll kill you all!"

After discovering that the town army of MaoYuan county had left the city, Xu Huairen, who had changed his mind, suddenly waved his hand.

Then, a hundred northern cavalry soldiers were separated from the brigade and charged to kill more than 300 MaoYuan County soldiers led by Li Gan."Defense!"

With Li Gan's cry, the three hundred town troops immediately lined up and put up a long anti horse gun.

The horse resisting spear was specially made by the soldiers of Tang Dynasty to fight against the northern barbarian cavalry. In fact, it was made of a long piece of wood to cut a sharp point.

Once the footman encounters the charge of the horse team, he will quickly lift out the horse gun and hold on to the ground.

If the horse team ignores the blocking of the horse gun and charges directly, it will inevitably end up with a man turning over his horse.

If the horse team makes a detour, it will be stopped and killed by soldiers and short crossbows.

Because Beiman came with the help of the whole family, Li Gan began to train his soldiers when he received the news.

If before, no one would pay attention to Li Gan's practice.

But now, on the contrary, everyone wants to practice a few more days.

After all, the purpose of training now is to go to the battlefield and survive.

The cavalry of the northern barbarians took a detour.

Li dares to wave his hand decisively and shoot at a high speed.

Shoot the horse first!

The northern barbarian cavalry without war horses is a scum in the face of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

One hundred northern barbarian cavalry did not destroy Li Gan's three hundred town troops, but half of them lost their lives. The rest, though not dead, lost their mounts.

"Kill -"

Li Gan roared, took the lead and charged with a knife.

The Beiman soldier opposite him also ran with a knife, ready to fight with Li Gan.

However

"Poof!"

Li Gan raised his hand, and his crossbow shot through the man's chest.

"Dregs!"

Knife to knife?

You think I'm stupid? Clearly can save energy to kill you, how can it consume this physical strength.

On the battlefield, every effort saved will give us more hope to save our lives.

This is Li Gan's experience.

And he gave it to the town army of MaoYuan county without reservation.

As a result, one hundred northern barbarian cavalry troops were completely destroyed, while the town troops in MaoYuan county were not injured.

All of them followed Li Gan and rushed forward with their swords, but when they approached the Beiman soldiers, they pulled the trigger of the crossbow and shot each other with the crossbow.

"Shameless Tang people!"

When Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai, saw this scene, he could not help cursing.

"High priest!"

"Shall we take a party with us?"

Gong Sheng, a northern barbarian cavalry guarding Xu Huairen, opened his mouth.
