Chapter 81: The Fierce Seizure of Power
"Impossible!"
"How could this be?"
"Shhh Could it be that the Anling Pass has been broken? ”
The fat man's eyes trembled, and he couldn't stop yelling wildly.
The dust was flying in the distance, and the shock of the vibration was nothing more than the galloping sound of horses' hooves!
Judging from the clothes and the blades in hand, there is no doubt that it must be the army of steppe barbarians!
Don't say that the fat man is stupid, Luo Li is also stupid, Bai Zijin is also stupid, and the entire betting operation is stupid!
Everyone stood in place in a daze, trembling so that the rice bowl in their hands fell 'clang', and the crisp cracking sound was more intense than the fat man knocking on the bowl.
"Run!"
"The steppe barbarians are here!"
I don't know if it was the people or the guards who yelled, and finally woke everyone up!
"Run!"
The first to react were the old men, whose originally stiff bodies were all straightened, and they burst out with a great desire to survive, and took the lead in fleeing backwards.
Only a dozen breaths, the soldiers who fled in a panic disrupted the detention operation!
At the critical moment, Old Man Chen rode on a horse, led his guards to the rear, and beheaded several people in a row, so that he could stabilize the rout and escape.
"Everyone obeyed the order, evacuated to the mountain, and abandoned all the baggage!" Old man Chen shouted at the top of his voice.
According to the military order, the herald continued to pass from the rear army to the front army, and the old man who was in a panic threw off his arms and quickly ran to the side hillside.
This place is close to the Anling Pass, which belongs to the end of the Anling Mountain Range, and there is a higher hillside nearby.
According to Old Man Chen's idea, as long as he retreats to the hillside, the cavalry charge of the steppe barbarians can be invalidated, and he will have a chance to fight back alive.
Otherwise, standing on an open official road, becoming a target for cavalry, and escorting a thousand people is not enough for the other party to plug his teeth.
"Nope! Can't go up the mountain! Pull it all down! ”
"Hemp eggs! Old man Chen, why don't you command a war! ”
The fat man jumped to the rear and ran to the rear, shouting loudly along the way to stop the fleeing soldiers!
Luo Li, Bai Zijin, the big man, and the old man Shen all thought that the fat man was crazy, so they hurriedly chased after him, wanting to retreat with the fat man first.
Unexpectedly, the fat man didn't pay attention to it at all, and with all his strength, he rushed to the side of Old Man Chen and grabbed the horse going up the mountain!
"Old man Chen, come down for the fat man!"
"Ma Dan, if you retreat to the mountain, it's really all over!"
"Hurry up and gather the soldiers and horses, defend with baggage carriages, and ring three layers of circles to resist the cavalry charge!"
"Resist it with a spear again, and you can have the strength to fight!"
The fat man's loud shouts and explosive strength completely stopped Old Man Chen's retreat.
"Dead fatty, Lao Tzu is the escort officer, Lao Tzu has the final say, how old are you, dare to order Lao Tzu!" Old man Chen was furious, and shouted with red eyes.
"Old man Chen, the fat man is your uncle! Hurry up and give the order, it's still too late! The fat man was also crazy, he didn't care whether the other party was a general or not, and pulled Old Man Chen off the horse.
"Where is the guard, this person violates the military order and beheads!" Old man Chen felt that his life was threatened, and immediately ordered the guards around him to surround him.
Of course, Old Man Chen will not listen to the fat man's words, he has been in the army for decades, until he is transferred to the prison operation in old age, Old Man Chen has experienced more wars in his life than the fat man eats, how can he listen to a recruit's nonsense.
The tense atmosphere was pervasive, and seeing the stalemate, the fat man became more and more anxious!
In a hurry, the fat man pulled out the big knife at his waist, pressed it against Old Man Chen's neck and said, "Old Man Chen, I'm offended!" Hurry up and give the order and do what the fat man says! ”
The two looked at each other with red eyes, and Old Man Chen was indifferent, as if he was not afraid of the tip of the knife in his neck at all.
After a while, Old Man Chen took a deep breath, his tense body softened, and he slowly asked, "Give Lao Tzu a reason!" ”
The fat man saw that the other party's tone was loose, and he gently put down the big knife and said: "This mountain is low, there is no water source, no food, and it cannot be defended. ”
"No matter what means, for three days at most, the detention operation will definitely become a soft-footed shrimp, and in the end there will not even have the strength to resist!"
"If you open the formation, use the baggage cart as an interception, ring a three-layer formation, and resist with a spear, you can barely defeat the enemy!"
"As long as we hold on to a few waves of impact, maybe the grassland barbarians will feel that the bones are hard to gnaw, and then leave quickly, so that we have a chance of survival."
"But if you want to go up the mountain, you will really become a cow and sheep to be slaughtered!"
The words full of reason made Old Man Chen wake up suddenly, and his eyes flashed with regret!
However, Old Man Chen did not immediately order to do so, because it was impossible to confirm how many people came from the barbarians, and the number of people was quite comparable and they could fight, if the difference was too big, it was just a mantis arm as a car!
Old man Chen asked the doubts in his heart, and immediately received the fat man's disdainful gaze: "Decades of military career are really fed to dogs!" ”
"Staring at your dog's eyes, there is not much dust, which proves that there are not many soldiers and horses, at most one or two thousand people, otherwise how can you be so close and find out that something is wrong?"
"If tens of thousands of cavalry trample at the same time, you can hear the sound without waiting for the naked eye to see it!"
"The fat man doubts whether you have ever been a soldier!"
The sharp words made Old Man Chen's face red, and then he gritted his teeth fiercely and immediately issued a military order.
It's a pity that there was a delay for some time, resulting in thirty percent of the soldiers rushing up the hillside, and the military order could not be conveyed for a while.
There were only more than 700 soldiers left, and immediately according to the fat man's words, they urged the horses to circle the baggage cart around the three-story circle, and lay it in the middle of the official road.
After doing all this, the seven hundred people were divided into three groups, and the cats were behind the baggage car, armed with spears, broadswords, and shields, waiting for the steppe barbarians to kill.
"Fatty, can we win?" Luo Li was assigned to the second batch, and he was about to go into battle to kill the enemy, which made him tremble.
Previously, he pursued the Shu army in Qingnan County, and fought a tailwind battle, and Luo Li didn't use his knife at all, just watched everyone fight from afar.
This time is different, it is a real fight by himself, bloodflow, stumps and broken arms, death and other pictures, just thinking about it can make Luo Li chill.
"The chances are slim!" The fat man shook his head pessimistically!
Luo Li was dumbfounded! For the first time, I heard that the fat man had no confidence in the military aspect!
Thinking about the past, when did the fat man not boast that he could do it with a little bit of people, and the other party was completely destroyed?
This time, the fat man wilted, and the last flame of hope in Luo Li's heart was blown out in an instant!
"Fat ...... Fatso! For...... What? Luo Li's face turned pale, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"The charge operation is all old and weak, young and middle-aged people are four for one, and the old and weak are at least six or eight for one, how can this battle be fought?" The fat man calmly stated the reason.
"Yes...... Is there any way to win? Luo Li completely lost his mind, and actually thought about finding the fat man to ask for a plan!
"Nope!" Sure enough, the fat man replied as expected.
"Knock knock!"
The sound of the earth-shattering horses galloping closer and closer, and even the barbarian's hideous expression could be seen clearly!
"It's coming! Sure enough, there are only more than 1,000 people! The fat man swallowed his spit and made a low sound!
Luo Li looked at the barbarian army with a confused expression, and the panic in his heart spread all over his body......
