Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Food Crisis
Wu Bo turned his head and stared at the approaching Xijon cavalry.
A hundred steps away, the shepherd wolf has shot three rounds of arrow rain with a heavy crossbow, slightly slowing down the speed of the Xirong cavalry, but the heavy crossbow is inconvenient to carry, and the escort money and food are not much in total, and the Xirong cavalry that was shot down is limited, and there is no harm to the overall situation.
In the blink of an eye, the Xirong cavalry had advanced a hundred steps, and the Dagan soldiers could clearly see the excited faces of the Xirong cavalry, as well as the arms that were bending their bows and arrows.
There was a round of light bows and arrows in the air, and the shepherd wolf had a carriage to hide, and there were few casualties, but the Xijon cavalry was shot down a lot.
The stabbing horse formation finally played a role and stumbled the Xirong cavalry, but the shepherd wolf was only 5,000, and the Xijon cavalry exceeded 20,000.
Seeing this, the general of the shepherd wolf shouted: "Disrupt the carriage, and the battalions will retreat to the mountain!" ”
In the horse formation, nearly half of the carriage was not unloaded, and the mules and horses were all covered with black cloth, except for those who ran in pain from the arrows, most of them remained in place, and at this time the black cloth was removed, and more than 10,000 war horses suddenly appeared in front of them, and the mules and horses were all frightened and panicked.
In addition, the shepherd wolf soldiers were driven behind, and these mules and horses with carts all rushed towards the Xirong cavalry, blocking the Xirong cavalry.
As soon as the two armies were connected, Wu Bo's formation was already dead and wounded, and the remaining seven people rushed to the mountains and forests with the wounded and a frightened little six.
Xiao Liu looked back, hundreds of patrol cavalry were desperately resisting the enemy, saving some lone soldiers, and one patrol cavalry shouted while resisting: "All battalion soldiers, do not leave alone, go to the mountains and the big rocks and forests"
Before the words were finished, they stopped abruptly, and Xiao Liu hurriedly looked at the patrolman who had fallen off his horse and was motionless. Xiao Liu's nose suddenly became sore, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wu Bo's deep voice came from the side: "Little Liu, you remember, we uniformed patrol riders are not because they ride horses and shout five and six.
If you want to be a ranger in the future, you have to follow their example. ”
Xiao Liu nodded heavily and clenched the long knife in his hand.
In an instant, there were few hundred patrols left, and they were blocked by the patrols and mule carts, and these lone soldiers had retreated to the edge of the forest, and at this time they were forming a formation in three or five, hurrying to find the boulders and the dense forest to protect themselves.
Suddenly, I heard a loud shout from the Xirong army on the opposite side: "Kill!" "If the ground is thundering, the ears of the shocked Sky Shepherd Wolf soldiers are buzzing.
I saw that the crowd was divided, and a big man with a length of eight feet walked out with a giant axe, with a wave of his right arm, the giant axe swept, smashing a frightened horse into the air, and his left hand probed sharply, pinched the neck of another mule and horse, shouted, and used force with one arm to crush the mule and horse, and his fingers were slammed, and the mule and horse convulsed for a while, and collapsed to the ground, apparently having broken the neck bone.
There was a burst of cheers in the Xirong army, and with the momentum of the big man, the stabbing horse formation was finally broken, and the mule cart in the Xingfeng Valley had been exhausted into the hands of the Xirong cavalry, and some anxious cavalry picked up the big box on the car, revealing the yellow and white things inside, and then gasped and let out an exclamation.
The shepherd wolf soldiers who escorted the money and grain fought and retreated, but the money and grain were lost, and the stakes were very important, and the leading generals had to be entangled with the Xirong cavalry, hoping that the reinforcements outside the valley could arrive in time.
It happened that the box containing money and food was broken, which attracted the attention of the Xirong cavalry for a while, which gave the Shepherd Wolf soldiers a chance to breathe, and used the terrain to cover and return fire to the Xirong cavalry.
"The warriors of Xirong, everyone has a share of these treasures and grains, first sweep away these big sweet flies, pull them back and we will divide them slowly."
A mighty voice came out, it was Nimmer Peak, who was sitting on top of a snow-white war horse at this time, and it was a divine horse.
Ninger Peak didn't glance at the money and food, but just looked at the shepherd wolf who retreated to the hillside, nodded and said: "The soldiers use their lives, defeat is not chaotic, it seems that there are several generals in the Dagan army." ”
A lieutenant general next to him replied: "What the marshal said is not bad, this Liu Ce and Hu Chajing have a reputation in Dagan, and they really have a set of military training, but when they meet this high-flying and domineering prince and commander, they have nowhere to use their strength." ”
"This Li Luo is young and vigorous, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be another Li Chengye in a few years, so he must not be taken lightly."
"Yes." The lieutenant general responded, but his expression was quite unimpressed.
As he spoke, the Xirong cavalry shouted, put down the belongings in their hands, and rode towards the remaining Shepherd Wolf soldiers.
On the hillside.
Wu Bo and his party were leaning on the boulder, firing arrows at the Xirong cavalry who rushed up, these cavalry were vigorous, and the horse's kung fu was not bad, waving their sabers to push away the sharp arrows that were shot, and pressing towards the shepherd wolf soldiers step by step.
Xiao Liu looked at the enemy soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but turn his head to Wu Bo and said, "Wu Tou, there are so many enemies, let's run." ”
Wu Bo shouted: "Shut up, what are you panicking about." Remember, only when you are in danger on the battlefield can you live, and if you are so flustered, you will be the first to die. ”
Xiao Liu shrank in fright, bowed his head and didn't dare to speak.
According to the advantages of the terrain, the Shepherd Wolf soldiers barely resisted the attack of the Xirong cavalry, and the Xirong cavalry retreated slightly, and the Shepherd Wolf took a few steps forward to entangle the enemy army, so that the Xirong troops did not have time to pull away the carriages that transported money and grain, but the Xirong people were numerous, and in a moment, most of these carriages had entered the Xijon camp.
In the tug-of-war, Wu Bo's army had lost nearly half, and Xiao Liu no longer hid behind people, picked up a long knife, and slashed at the enemy soldiers in Xirong who rushed up.
Suddenly, there was a trumpet in the Xijon army, and the army had turned around and began to withdraw outside the valley, and all the chariots and horses in the valley fell into the hands of Xirong.
A sad cry came from the Wolf Army: "Soldiers, life is also a hero, death is also a ghost, you must not let the grain and grass fall into the hands of Xirong, kill me!" After saying that, he shouted wildly and rushed out first, and the rest of the soldiers followed closely and killed the Xirong troops.
Wu Bo marched.
The man who joked about Wu Bo before raised his long knife, glanced at the remaining six people, and said with a smile: "The survivors will collect the bodies of the brothers, and we will meet again in the Twin Peaks Camp in eighteen years, and I will invite you to drink!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and jumped out of the boulder where he was covering, and the remaining few people shouted wildly: "We will meet again in the Twin Peaks Camp in eighteen years!" Several teams of people next to him also shouted: "Eighteen years later, the Twin Peaks Battalion will meet again!" ”
For a while, this voice infected the surviving soldiers of the Shepherd Wolf, and everyone shouted in unison, and the heroic and desolate voice actually overshadowed the sound of fighting on the battlefield.
