Three thousand men are enough to fend off a few hundred harassers.
Lu Junyi and his party soon arrived outside the Renli camp.
More than a thousand barbarian soldiers responsible for night guard duty had already assembled in front of the camp gate.
It is said to be the camp gate,
Actually, there were no walls in other places either.
There are few trees within dozens of miles of Yanzhou.
Without trees, it would be impossible to set up antlers.
Even setting up camp walls was impossible.
The barbarian soldiers could only drive some wooden stakes into the ground.
Then pull a few ropes.
They managed to create a rope wall, albeit barely.
Of course, the soldiers didn't expect the ropes, which they could cut all with a single strike, to stop the enemy.
Instead, they scattered a lot of caltrops outside the rope wall.
The rope wall serves primarily to remind family members not to cross it.
Stepping on a caltrop,
They accidentally injured their own people.
If the enemy wants to launch a strong attack from all sides,
The caltrops must be removed first.
With this buffer time,
The troops in the camp are sufficient to be assembled.
A faster way is to pave the road with wooden planks.
Place the porcelain caltrop underneath.
However, without trees, it would be difficult for either side to find a large number of planks.
Also because there were no wooden planks for support.
You can't dig a trench in the desert.
The quicksand will smooth everything over.
The camp gate wasn't pulled by ropes.
Instead, they used pieces of wood as thick as an arm to build what could hardly be considered a simple camp gate.
However, with rope walls on both sides,
This camp gate, however, seemed somewhat top-heavy.
Two rows of deer antlers blocked the way behind the camp gate.
You could say it looks quite presentable.
However, all of this needs to be tested in actual combat.
Chapter 1947 Fire Horse
"stop!"
Separated by more than a mile,
Lu Junyi then loudly gave the order.
The hundreds of riders ran for several dozen more steps before slowly coming to a stop.
Although Lu Junyi also had several hundred cavalrymen under his command,
However, they cannot be like real cavalry.
Gave an order,
Everyone then reined in their horses and stopped.
Therefore, the order had to be given in advance.
To avoid them bumping into each other.
The barbarian soldiers in the camp were amazed by the Liang troops' horsemanship as they attacked the camp.
They couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Morale also soared.
"Fire Horse!"
Lu Junyi looked at the laughing barbarian soldiers in the camp.
But there was no impulse.
His voice remained as steady as ever.
The cavalryman with one horse and two riders led the empty horse to the front.
Ten horses were facing the camp gate.
"ignition."
The barbarians in the camp were still puzzled.
Then they saw flames suddenly erupting from the tails of a row of horses in front of them.
The tinder tied to the horse's tail was lit.
The warhorse immediately felt pain.
It rushed toward the camp gate with a mournful cry.
The camp's guards saw the warhorses charging towards them like madmen.
He hurriedly shouted, "Shoot the arrow!"
Most of these barbarian soldiers were people who grew up on horseback.
He knew all too well how terrifying a frightened warhorse could be.
No need for the general to give the order,
They then fired their arrows.
The barbarian general had originally thought that this volley of arrows would bring down ten fire horses.
But he soon realized he was wrong.
Not a single warhorse was shot down.
Nearby,
Only then did the barbarians in the camp realize that the fire horses were all wearing disguises.
Although it was only a distance of two hundred steps,
However, the ten fiery horses still managed to emerge in sequence.
They crashed into the camp gate in a disorderly fashion.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The fiery horses kept crashing into the camp gate.
Each horse crashed into the camp gate.
This would cause a stir at the camp gate.
Although the ten warhorses were arranged in order,
However, a distance of over two hundred steps is not enough for them to drive too far.
The warhorses in front had just crashed into the camp gate.
The crazed warhorses then charged forward again without hesitation.
With combined efforts,
The camp gate was smashed to pieces in an instant.
Ten warhorses charged into the camp with unstoppable force.
Then it bumped into the antlers.
The deer antlers on the camp gate could not possibly have been buried underground.
Otherwise, their own troops wouldn't be able to get in or out either.
It's just standing there as an obstacle.
If the warhorse is awake,
It won't crash straight into it.
But the warhorse with its tail on fire charged straight ahead without hesitation.
The two rows of antlers were immediately smashed to pieces.
However, all ten warhorses also collapsed in front of the second row of stag antlers.
The barbarians lined up behind the deer antlers had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Then another line of fiery horses rushed in from behind.
Without the camp gate and deer antlers for defense,
The first to be hit were the barbarians lined up behind them.
Without any hesitation,
The barbarians immediately scattered.
Dodge to either side.
They let the fiery horses rush into the camp.
Three rows of live horses were released in succession.
Several warhorses, startled, galloped off to either side.
Stepping on a caltrop,
He fell down in front of the camp wall.
More than twenty fiery horses charged into the Western Xia camp.
This caused unrest in the camp.
"kill!"
Lu Junyi observed that there were no trenches, horse traps, or similar features inside the camp gate.
Without further hesitation,
Give a loud shout,
He then charged ahead into the camp.
Yan Qing saw that the prepared fire horses were effective.
I really want to release all the fire horses.
However, seeing that Lu Junyi has already shown his power...
He had no choice but to spur his horse and follow.
The barbarians who were dodging the fire horses on both sides of the camp gate stopped firing them when they saw Lu Junyi and his men.
