Chapter 286 The horse bandit group attacks

With the [Spirit Shell], Hua Kai asked everyone in the team to store all unnecessary things in the [Spirit Shell] first, so that the cargo on the carriage was halved and everyone's speed was greatly improved.

Hua Kai was very bored riding a horse every day. He needed to protect the safety of the entire team and could not ride away alone. Seeing Hua Mo and Hua Bu and others riding horses to practice equestrianism, Hua Kai remembered the main task eight, he must improve the family cultural attributes as soon as possible.

So Hua Kai thought of ways to organize various activities in the team. The family cultural value did not increase much, but the family luck value increased a lot, which allowed Hua Kai to forge a few more [Gold Silk Soft Armor].

The Hua family's migrating army was marching northward. In the first few days, they could walk hundreds of miles every day. After ten days, everyone became extremely tired, and the horses did not have the vitality they had a few days ago. The speed of the team naturally slowed down. The migrating army could only walk about 80 miles every day. Hua Kai knew that this was already very rare.

On the other hand, in September, the grassland bandits and some tribes began to enter an active period. They were used to robbing and looting. At this time, they began to wander around the border of the Central Plains. When they encountered caravans or small towns returning to the Central Plains, they specifically attacked them.

Hua Zichen received news that in the northeast of Gaoliu County, scattered cavalry teams from the Donghu had been crossing the border in recent days, causing certain harm to the people of Yan who were building the Great Wall. The Hua family now has 10,000 troops here to protect the people of Yan, and they have also suffered a lot of losses.

He sent Tang Lei, Xue Pan, and Hua Peng, three innate realms, to lead 500 Hua family light cavalry to the border for support. Only the Hua family light cavalry could restrain these Donghu cavalry.

After the 500 light cavalry left, Hua Zichen still had more than 300 light cavalry. Although many of the Hua family's servants had signed up to join the light cavalry, the 2,000 light cavalry reserve was in Gaoliu City, and the Hua family's servants were scattered in the northeastern border, Gaoliu City, and there was also a large army of migrants. Hua Zichen could only expand the light cavalry to 800 people, and some of the 100 new members did not have [Gold Silk Soft Armor], and their riding skills and horse quality were not high.

In the early morning, Hua Zichen walked in the general's mansion holding Princess Ji Le's hand. Hua Zichen seemed cautious, and Ji Le leaned on Hua Zichen's shoulder happily with a big belly.

"I wrote to you not to come over. Baoyu Pass is not safe recently. Recently, scouts often appear outside the pass. I will feel relieved if you stay in Gaoliu City." Hua Zichen said to Princess Ji Le.

"Don't worry about me, I am also a master of Qi training! Let me show you our child, he has been making a fuss recently!" Princess Ji Le said with a smile.

The chance of pregnancy for couples above the Qi training realm is very small. Hua Zichen and Ji Le are finally going to have a child after four years of marriage. This is a big deal for the entire Hua family. The children born by two people with such strength will generally have good qualifications.

The two were talking about future children. At this time, Hua Zichen saw a servant waiting in the distance, as if he had something urgent to report.

"Come here! What's the matter?" Hua Zichen asked the servant.

"Fifth Master, the number of scouts outside the Leopard Jade Pass has increased again today. We sent a reconnaissance team to find a large group of horse bandits a hundred miles west of the pass." The servant reported.

Hua Zichen hurriedly asked Princess Ji Le to go back to the house to rest, and he came to the pass and saw Yu Jun here.

"Yu Jun, how is the situation now?" Hua Zichen asked.

This is the first time that the Hua family has faced pressure from the grassland. From September to November every year, small border wars are frequent. If they can't even withstand the first pressure, there will be more and more grassland tribes that will be begging for money later, and it will be difficult for Hua Kai to gain a foothold in Gaoliu County.

"It's the bandits from Beishan. They have about 30,000 people this time, including 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry. They may be here to take revenge for what happened more than a month ago. They are still hundreds of miles away from Baoyu Pass and will arrive around noon tomorrow." Yu Jun said.

"The bandits from Beishan have even sent out infantry. This is not a test. We have less than 2,000 troops here, and there are only 5,000 including the slave team. Send the news to Gaoliu City and let the fourth master quickly organize the servants to come to support." Hua Zichen said.

"People have been sent. Our Baoyu Pass walls have been repaired. It's not easy for the other party to break through. This is our first defensive battle with the grassland. We must fight beautifully."

Yu Jun is not worried that the other party can break through the defense of Baoyu Pass. The Baoyu Pass wall is only 500 meters wide, and at most a thousand people can attack at the same time. The Baoyu Pass garrison can still hold out for a few days. The garrison reserve is also ready at any time.

"We can't just wait for the other side to attack. I will take 300 light cavalry to test them now. The defense of Baoyu Pass will be handed over to you. When the time comes, I will lead the light cavalry to relieve your pressure outside the pass." Hua Zichen said.

"Fifth Master, I will lead the team! Princess Ji Le is inside the pass, so you should stay!" Yu Jun also knew that Princess Ji Le was pregnant, and said to Hua Zichen.

"Please help me keep an eye on her. If the city wall really can't be defended, let her escape back to Gaoliu City by herself, and transfer all the light cavalry reserves!" Hua Zichen left after he finished speaking. He was the commander of the light cavalry. How could he stand on the city wall and watch his subordinates fighting outside.

It took less than ten minutes for the gate of Baoyu Pass to open. Hua Zichen led more than 300 light cavalry out of the pass and rushed to the west of Baoyu Pass.

When they met scouts on the road, as long as the enemy dared to approach the light cavalry within 500 meters, Hua Zichen and more than 60 Qi training realm members riding BMWs would chase and kill them. After killing several teams of Beishan bandits along the way, the enemy dared not approach them again.

After two hours of rapid travel of nearly 100 miles, Hua Zichen finally saw the Beishan bandit army on the road. The enemy saw the Hua family light cavalry led by Hua Zichen and sent a thousand cavalry to chase them.

The main force of the Hua family light cavalry regiment had gone to the northeastern border of Gaoliu County, leaving more than 300 light cavalry teams and there were still a hundred newcomers. Everyone was excited when they saw the thousands of people chasing them. Although they had received light cavalry training before becoming formal members of the light cavalry regiment, theory and practice were different.

Hua Zichen quietly waited for the enemy to approach, and when the enemy was only a thousand meters away, he ordered the Hua family light cavalry to retreat. He kept slowly closing the distance with the enemy, waiting for the enemy cavalry team to pull back, which was the most common way for light cavalry to deal with the enemy.

Everyone controlled the speed of their horses according to Hua Zichen's command. When they saw him suddenly slow down and charge into the enemy, they all turned around and charged. After one contact, no matter whether they made any achievements or not, they immediately retreated, and someone would go to clean up for them.

Hua Zichen also knew that real strong soldiers are trained, and the most important thing for light cavalry is flexibility and coordination. He also deliberately gave those new recruits the opportunity to kill the enemy alone. They were all above the Qidong realm, and it was too easy to kill these Kaiyuan realm.

The Beishan cavalry chased the Hua family light cavalry for several miles and found that they suffered heavy losses while the enemy was unscathed. Several Qi training realm leaders of their team were killed by Hua Zichen, so they stopped chasing. When they turned back to the main force, the losses were close to half.

Seeing that the enemy no longer sent out people, Hua Zichen began to wander around outside their infantry formation with the Hua family light cavalry, and took advantage of the opportunity to attack. After the enemy army surrounded them, he personally cut off the rear and let the Hua family light cavalry retreat quickly. The newly joined Hua family light cavalry members began to cooperate more and more familiarly. The entire Beishan army of more than 20,000 people began to move closer together because of the Hua family's 300 light cavalry, and the marching speed gradually became slower and slower.

By the afternoon, the Hua family light cavalry had unknowingly killed thousands of Beishan bandits. When they saw the enemy send out 3,000 cavalry, they left far away. When the enemy chased far away, they hurried to the outside of their infantry formation to continue to eat away. The enemy's 5,000 cavalry had no way to deal with them.

When the enemy's 3,000 cavalry returned to the formation, Hua Zichen led the Hua family light cavalry to continue harassing. He saw that the enemy actually sent 500 cavalry to chase them, and the speed was not fast.

"Everyone be careful, this time it seems to be not simple, if we are entangled later, everyone quickly evacuate." Hua Zichen shouted loudly. As a light cavalry, he must be prepared to die in the crowd after being entangled by the enemy.

Hua Zichen continued to test the opponent, but the opponent did not seem to react at all. He continued to approach and prepared to kill a few people and leave. As long as someone on the other side died, it would not be good to chase them without scruples.

But this time, the opponent's first pursuers were all in the late stage of Qi training, a full 6 people, and four of them were riding BMWs. Hua Zichen had a slight contact with the opponent and did not make any contribution. When he was about to retreat, he found that a cavalry rushed quickly from the flank. Was it choosing to double-team him?

Hua Zichen was not afraid of this. In which time did he not fight in and out of the enemy's double-team during the border battles? He rode [Tianlongju] to quickly get rid of the entanglement of many late Qi training realms. Hua Kai wanted to try what these people who dared to flank him alone were capable of.

The first time they fought, Hua Zichen knew that the opponent was a Xiantian realm, and Hua Zichen used all his strength when they fought.

At the Xiantian realm, "Haoran Zhengqi" was no longer of much use. Hua Zichen used all the true qi of "Eight Treasures Night Name Armor" and "Tianlongju", but failed to defeat the opponent in three moves. At this time, the Beishan bandits came from behind, and he used "Eight Treasures Night Name Armor" to withstand the attacks of several Qi training realms of the opponent. The Xiantian realm also saw that he was defeated and fled.

In the end, Hua Zichen could only kill two Qi training late stage horse bandits and escaped smoothly on the "Tianlongju".

The Beishan bandits failed to kill Hua Zichen and could only retreat to the team and move forward cautiously. It was a pity that Hua Zichen failed to kill the leader of the opponent, and the two sides were deadlocked.

In order to prevent the Hua family's light cavalry from attacking, the Beishan bandits organized their troops into 30 teams of 1,000 people. If one team was attacked, it would retreat, and the nearby teams would take the opportunity to surround it. After all, the Hua family's light cavalry only had 300 people, and could not cause much damage to the 30,000. The Hua family was also afraid of being entangled and did not dare to advance too deep.

In this way, the Beishan bandits rushed towards Baoyu Pass with a tail behind them.
