Chapter 42 Self-help plan

"Young Master Xia, Liukou is in a wheel battle, even if we can block it when we go back, sooner or later we will be tired to death!" Taking advantage of the intermittent break, the old foreman was worried.

Xia Donghai didn't know the idea of the Liukou, but they only had these 1,200 people on hand now, and they didn't even have enough weapons, so they could only be beaten passively.

Xia Donghai frowned and asked, "Elder Engineer, how long do you think we can hold out if we keep defending?" ”

The old foreman's face turned pale: "How long?" I'm afraid it won't work for a while, the old man has followed General Wang for many years, and this kind of wheel war is not afraid of lack of physical strength.

What they are most afraid of is the false and the real, and now they take turns to attack but refuse to use all their strength, which is obviously a false move. If we can't help but be careless, the thieves can completely solve us with a single blow! ”

Xia Donghai is a generation of doctors and has not been exposed to much military knowledge, but he can completely hear the dangers described by the old foreman.

"What then?" Xia Donghai could only ask anxiously.

The old foreman shook his head and said with a depressed face: "There is nothing to talk about without reinforcements, we can only consume it, even if we have a car battalion, it is just a little longer." ”

Xia Donghai wanted to speak when he saw the old foreman like this, but he saw the old man pressing him to the back of the car with his hand, and then shouted: "Liukou is coming up again, everyone is in place!" ”

Although the Qin army and the people were already very tired, they still showed amazing resilience, and they were not afraid in the face of the cavalry that rushed up again.

After a period of chaos, the invading army retreated again, and they and the Qin army and the people almost did not have any casualties, and the old foreman's words were indeed right, the rogues were feints to deceive!

"Xia Gongzi, since we really can't hold it for a while, we can't be cheap, we must burn the supplies, and we can't let them use them against our soldiers!" The old foreman stuffed the flint into Xia Donghai's hand, and his face was serious.

Xia Donghai understood that the old man meant to give him the flint and steel to protect him to the end, and he couldn't help but have some tears in his eyes when he thought of this honest child.

Xia Donghai took a step back and bowed deeply: "The kid understands!" ”

The old foreman nodded, and the old bark face seemed to smile, but he did not speak, but turned around and ordered the others to prepare the fire and burn the supplies.

Sure enough, the old man's intuition was very accurate, and just after the last round of raids, the Chuang army immediately organized another attack.

The Qin army and the people still forced him back with difficulty, but when the people were about to take a breath, the troops of the Liukou pressed up again, and the number was far more than usual.

The old foreman saw the enemy's intentions at a glance, and hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, this is the enemy's real move, Xia Gongzi, you don't have to worry about anything else, hurry up and light the fire!" ”

Although Xia Donghai was still a little reluctant when he heard this, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only start to use flints to ignite the materials one by one.

And the few people next to him are also the youngest in the team, I'm afraid that the old man has long thought of letting the young people leave.

Because in his opinion, this is a battle that cannot be won, and young people can only hope to live, even if they can only live a little longer than them......

Finally, the cavalry had reached the front of the chariot formation, but they did not charge hard as they did the first time, nor did they interfere as far away as they had in the previous feints.

I saw that they stopped not far in front of the car formation, but they were out of range of most weapons, and then began to dismount!

That's right, it was dismounted, and the cavalry that broke into the army was not a nomadic all-round cavalry, but a complete "dragoon", that is, a horse infantry.

Their commander, Cheng Wu, thought that since the impact that the army was not good at didn't work, he naturally had to use the "traditional ability", that is, dismounted and archery.

"Ready, raised, thrown!" Cheng Wu looked at the car camp opposite and ordered viciously.

Only then did the army open their bows and arrows, and the target was directly aimed at the Qin army in the turtle shell.

"Whoosh-"

Countless feathered arrows fell from the sky, and the people had nowhere to escape, because they were also trapped in their "castle" while being protected, but this castle had no roof.

"Ahh Several screams were heard, and for the first time, the people were directly injured, although few were fatally wounded, but more and more people were incapacitated......

"What to do, foreman? We can't sit still! Why don't I take someone out and kill them? A man with five big and three rough men roared angrily.

The old foreman reprimanded sharply: "Rush out and let people kill?" What! If you continue to hold on, you can take advantage of the gap to lift the food bag above your head, and if you can't do it, you can get under the car! ”

The man is also the old man's descendant in the township, and because of his majesty, he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only grit his teeth and sigh heavily: "Alas! ”

Xia Donghai next to him was suddenly excited, the old man's words may be just angry words in the eyes of others, but he seems to be good medicine.

Although Xia Donghai had an idea, his confidence was obviously insufficient, so he could only hesitate: "Engineer, the kid has an idea, but he may lose some food and even the car." ”

"Huh? What's the solution? The old man asked suspiciously, but before Xia Donghai could explain, the second team of the intruding army dismounted and the archers also came up, and the rain of arrows hit again.

The old man could only take everyone to hide first, but Xia Donghai's plan was difficult to implement for a while, and the casualties of the people increased a lot again.

The old foreman looked at the fear on everyone's faces, shook his head and said to himself, "Ho! I'm afraid that the rogue will die of scare if he doesn't wait for the killing! ”

The people who were still flustered just now showed shame after hearing this, they are martial old Qin people, even farmers are also experienced in a hundred battles, this little arrow rain makes them hold their heads and run away, what else are they talking about the first merit promotion?

Xia Donghai saw that the old foreman's words restored a lot of morale to everyone, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart, and at the same time felt that his plan should be better implemented.

At this time, the intruders began to attack again, and after firing a wave of feathered arrows, their third team made a standard charge instead.

The old foreman, who was supposed to lead people to dodge the arrows, discovered the enemy's trick at the last moment, and once again pushed the cavalry back with the wall of chariot spears.

It's just that he is a foreman and not a general after all, and the grain transportation team is too long, resulting in heavy losses in other positions, and the entire car formation almost collapsed.

Looking at the old foreman who had palpitations, Xia Donghai didn't explain, and said directly: "Engineer, please give me a chance!" ”

The old foreman looked at Xia Donghai's firm eyes, and nodded: "Stretching out your head is death, shrinking your head is also death, it's better to try!"

Xia Gongzi, you are a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven who has read books, and the Imperial Doctor Xia is a famous doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded, no matter what, my old man believes you, you just say what to do!"

Xia Donghai didn't expect the old foreman to trust him so much, so he immediately saluted: "The strongest person in the order puts on the weapon in the material and passes under the car formation."

There are not too many enemies to monitor in all directions, so just find an opportunity to hide on the other side of the valley, and when the enemy comes again, kill them directly, and force them to come forward for a decisive battle! ”

The old foreman was shocked when he heard this, Xia Donghai's idea can be said to be very simple, but forcing the army to fight a decisive battle with them is so dangerous, in case they fail, I am afraid that there will be no chance to organize defense again......

But as soon as the old man looked up, he met the eyes of several young people, and it turned out that their eyes were already red, and it was obvious that they had been suppressed for too long.

The old man also understood that his subordinates were all Great Qin men who were eager to make meritorious contributions, so they were waiting for someone to take the lead in killing them, and Xia Donghai's idea was exactly what they wanted!

"Am I really old?" The old man thought unconsciously, and then quickly shook his head and said: "Dead horses should be live horse doctors, sons, hurry up and prepare, the next wave of attacks is to take advantage of the chaos to set off!" ”

"Hey!" Everyone agreed, and finally had a smile on their faces, maybe in their eyes now, it is better to fight than to be half-dead.

At this time, Xia Donghai, the initiator of everything, said with a serious face: "Old foreman, I want to go too!" ”

The old man naturally wanted to stop him, but Xia Donghai didn't give him a chance to open his mouth at all, and turned around and walked towards the team.

The old foreman could only look at his back and say to himself: "As a pioneer, I have the demeanor of a general at a young age, it seems that I am indeed old......"
