Chapter 356 What the People Want

Outside the city, part of the three thousand enemy cavalry were besieging the women's training camp, while the other part was heading towards the Acropolis.

Seeing Yu Qingyi rushing out with servants and soldiers, they charged almost at the same time.

The war horses were galloping, and the heavy momentum was overwhelming.

"Don't be afraid, follow me!"

Yu Qingyi shouted in a deep voice.

There were only a hundred cavalrymen behind her, all of whom were servants of the Yang family. The soldiers in the city had no cavalrymen, but the runners in the yamen did have war horses, but the runners had already left the city to organize reinforcements for the various thousand households.

Wang pursed her lips, lowered her body, and clenched the spear with both hands, with beads of sweat oozing out of her chubby face.

The Li and Liang families are similar.

Although they were mentally prepared, they were still very nervous when the time came.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and were about to collide in the blink of an eye.

Just before the two sides were about to collide, Yu Qingyi's figure suddenly rose up, jumped up from the horse's back, and his agile body, like a loach, drilled into the layers of enemy cavalry.

The snow-white sword light flickered, and the sharp sword edge floated by like a white satin.

Blood splattered, and crystal blood beads fell, emitting a hazy halo under the bright sunshine.

bang bang bang~~
The enemy cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and the original charging formation was instantly thrown into chaos.

"kill!"

Wang suddenly let out a loud roar, and no one knew whether it was to cheer herself up or to release the fear in her heart. Anyway, she roared very loudly, which scared Li and Liang beside her.

However, the two men quickly recovered and rushed into the enemy camp waving their spears.

The Yang family’s spear skills are fast, accurate and ruthless!
When they saw the scene of blood splattering, only one thought remained in the three people's minds, and that was to stab the enemy in front of them to death!
The three of them fought without any rules, relying entirely on their own skills. However, Yang Mingcheng had been protecting the three of them, so they did not lose their composure.

As for Yu Qingyi, she had previously warned Wang and the others not to rush too far, but in the end she herself had already rushed into the center of the enemy's formation.

She abandoned her warhorse and kept leaping and sliding over the enemy riders.

Well, her fighting style is completely different from Yang Zhengshan’s, and it is completely incompatible with the fighting style in the army.

After all, she was a martial artist before, and had never received any military training. She had no idea about things like mutual cooperation.

Of course, this does not mean that she killed few enemies. On the contrary, with her agile and fast movements, no one can stop the long sword in her hand.

Every time the sword flashes, it will take away a life, and every time it is a fatal blow, hitting the vital point directly.

But in just a few moments, hundreds of corpses were lying behind her.

"Formation!"

"Uncle, stop rushing!"

Han Fei came with a group of soldiers and became anxious when he saw Yang Mingcheng, Wang and others had already rushed into the enemy camp.

Damn it, it’s not that aggressive!
One hundred cavalrymen attacking three thousand enemy cavalrymen, this is too exaggerated!

After all, Yu Qingyi was not Yang Zhengshan, and did not know how to lead the cavalry to charge. Although Yang Mingcheng had read many military books, he had never actually participated in a war. As for the three Wang family members and the Yang family's servants, they were just relying on their passion and charging blindly.

To be honest, Yu Qingyi should take the main responsibility for this wave.

Fortunately, Yang Mingcheng, the three Wangs and the Yang family's servants all had a high level of cultivation. Although the battle situation was a bit chaotic for a while, there were not too many casualties.

In terms of cultivation, the servants of the Yang family are all warriors, and there are even some acquired warriors among them. The cultivation of the three Wang family members has now reached the fifth level of the acquired realm, and Yang Mingcheng has now reached the seventh level of the acquired realm.

Although the enemy on the opposite side can be considered elite, it is estimated that warriors account for less than 30% of the 3,000 cavalry.

"Stop!"

Yang Mingcheng shot the enemy in front of him away and yelled at Wang, who was already blood-thirsty.

Wang was startled and the spear in her hand slowed down a bit. A long knife stabbed at her diagonally. Yang Mingcheng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and knocked the owner of the long knife away with one spear.

"You yelled at me!" Wang looked at Yang Mingcheng angrily.

Yang Mingcheng was speechless!
Wife, let’s not worry about these things at this time!
"Stop, no more rushing!"

Yang Mingcheng said.

Wang didn't feel like arguing with him at this time, "Where's mother?"

"..."

Yang Mingcheng was even more speechless.

Yu Qingyi's figure had disappeared in the enemy's formation, and with the enemy cavalry in front of him gathering, he couldn't see where Yu Qingyi was at all.

Yang Mingcheng thought he was unreliable, but he didn't expect that the women in his family were even more unreliable.

One or two of them, none of them are worry-free.

"uncle!"

At this time, Han Fei finally rushed over with his soldiers!
The chaotic battlefield became more and more tragic, and the casualties on both sides continued to increase.

"Follow me closely and don't rush around!" Han Fei shouted.

At this time, he was the only one here who had experience in leading troops, and he had followed Yang Zhengshan for several years and had fought in many battles in the north with Yang Zhengshan.

"Okay!" Yang Mingcheng stabilized the formation while fighting, stopped advancing, and instead gathered together with the soldiers.

Just when Yang Mingcheng and Han Fei met up, Wang Yunqiao led three hundred cavalrymen and rushed out from the women's training camp.

Compared with the Yang family's servants, the women's training camp is considered a professional military camp.

Not only did they receive more than three years of training, they also had weapons and horses. They were real cavalry, not just mounted infantry.

Compared to Yu Qingyi who is good at fighting alone, Wang Yunqiao is better at leading troops to charge.

Wang Yunqiao is Yang Zhengshan's disciple. Yang Zhengshan once said that she has read more military books than Song Dashan and her military talent is stronger than Song Dashan.

This is not flattery, this is the truth.

Although the strength of the women's training camp was not as good as that of the Fifth Army Camp, as a complete cavalry, with an outstanding leader, the women's training camp still showed good combat effectiveness. The moment they left the camp, they broke through the enemy who besieged the training camp, and then Wang Yunqiao led the 300 women soldiers to charge along the edge of the enemy formation like a torrent.

She did not rush into the center of the enemy's formation, but rushed to the weakest point of the enemy's formation.

"Stop them!"

A man in dark iron armor looked at the female soldiers rushing over and shouted angrily.

Then, as soon as he finished speaking, a bright sword light pierced his throat.

Wang Yunqiao looked at the agile figure, and her bright eyes suddenly became cold.

"We will fight to the death!"

This sentence was shouted out by Yang Zhengshan, and everyone who has been following Yang Zhengshan knows it. Now this sentence has become a combat state for the soldiers under Yang Zhengshan.

That means fighting to the death!
"We will fight to the death!"

The bright and clear voice merged into a fierce murderous intent.

The three hundred female soldiers were like a long knife, cutting off a large piece of the enemy's formation.

On the city wall, Pang Tang and Doctor Cui looked at the battle outside the city, their hearts pounding.

They had already returned to the Wei Si Yamen, but when they heard that Yu Qingyi was going out of the city to fight, they hurried over again.

Looking at the fierce battle outside the city, Pang Tang felt his whole body trembling.

War is always bloody.

At this time, the battle outside the city was full of chaos and blood.

He was a civil servant for twenty years, but had never participated in a war.

He was terrified inside.

"Those are?"

Looking at the female soldiers who were tearing a piece of flesh from the enemy like a giant python, he asked with a slightly trembling voice.

"Women's training camp! This is the women's army formed by my master and my junior sister!"

A cold voice sounded next to him.

Pang Tang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome young man standing not far away.

"You are!"

"Student Lin Zhan, master Yang Zhengshan!"

Lin Zhan clasped his fists and saluted, then looked at the battle outside the city.

He did not join the war because he was responsible for protecting the young children at home.

At this time, all the grandchildren of the Yang family gathered in the main courtyard, and only a group of old servants were left at home. Lin Zhan had originally wanted to stay at home, but he was really worried, so he ran over.

Pang Tang nodded slightly, "I know you. You are the one who is negotiating a marriage with the eldest daughter of the Zheng family!"

"It's the students!" Lin Zhan said.

Pang Tang did not inquire into Lin Zhan's identity any further, but continued to watch the battle outside the city.

"I am no better than a bunch of women!"

"Master often says that women hold up half the sky!" said Lin Zhan.

Pang Tang was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "Today's Tenglong Guard is supported by these women!"

At this moment, more than two hundred figures appeared on the east side of the battlefield.

"What is that?" Pang Tang asked.

"The one coming from the east should be Lord Li, the deputy commander of the Puhe Thousand Households Station, who is here to support us!" Lin Zhan said.

Yang Zhengshan took all the captains away, and only the deputy captains were left behind.

The farthest thousand-household station of Tenglongwei is only about forty miles away from the Weicheng, and the nearest one is only a dozen miles away.

It’s a distance of more than ten miles and it takes less than fifteen minutes to run over there.

The first reinforcements arrived, followed by a large number of reinforcements appearing around the Acropolis.

Some of these reinforcements consisted of only a dozen people, while others consisted of two or three hundred people. They swarmed in from the surrounding thousand-household units, hundred-household units, and garrisons.

They were scattered at first, but soon gathered to the south of the Acropolis.

The three thousand enemy cavalry were like being stuck in a quagmire, surrounded by the reinforcements that kept pouring in.

Many enemy cavalry have realized that something is wrong and want to escape, but can they escape?
Soldiers came to support from all directions.

Pang Tang stood on the city wall, looking at the reinforcements that kept gathering and the figures gathering from all directions, his mouth wide open, eyes full of disbelief.

Doctor Cui was also filled with shock.

"There are probably five or six thousand people!" Doctor Cui said with a bit of disbelief.

Lin Zhan looked at a group of reinforcements near the city wall, and saw an old man carrying a hoe. "More than five or six thousand people!"

"Why are there so many people?" Doctor Cui asked in shock.

"Tenglongwei has 22,400 military households, a population of more than 123,000, and more than 38,000 adults!" Lin Zhan said softly.

In fact, the population ratio of Tenglongwei is unreasonable. The proportion of elderly people is very low, and the proportion of children under four years old is slightly higher.

The reason for this is, firstly, that the previous Tenglong Guard was too poor and the average life expectancy of military households was relatively low; secondly, there were almost no elderly people among the refugees who migrated here, and they were mainly young adults and teenagers.

The third reason is that the living standards of military households have improved in recent years, their efficiency in having babies has increased, and the number of infant deaths has decreased, resulting in almost every household now having one to three children under the age of four.

Pang Tang's eyes flashed, he also saw the old man carrying a hoe, the young men holding knives and guns, and even women!
After being surprised, he understood the reason for such a scene.

What the people want!
