Chapter 215: Calm Down

"Front row retracement."

Seeing the Turkic cavalry approaching closer and closer, Guo Po quickly gave an order, and the soldiers in the front row who were erecting big shields turned around and retreated, and under their feet, they crossed several stumbling horse ditches.

"Stand shield, archers ready."

The soldiers of the unity battalion are all spear and shield soldiers, and the escort team has a lot of crossbows in their hands, but their only purpose is to protect Sun Xiangfu's safety, at this time they are all behind the queue to defend Sun Xiangfu, and the real ones who can shoot are the Wang family soldiers led by Wang Xu, in this short battle of less than half an hour, they have been accustomed to listening to Guo Po's command, and three or four hundred Wang soldiers with bows and arrows raised their big bows behind the big shield array, and pulled the bowstring with a gurgling sound.

"Sigh the ······ of the law"

In the dark night, once the horse speed runs, where can you still take care of the feet, so the Turkic cavalry who ran in the front row was sad, and even the people and horses fell into the horse pit, and before they could get up, the horses' hooves behind them stepped on them, and only the first horse pit, and dozens of horses were killed.

"Shoot the arrows."

"Woo Woo ······"

Three or four hundred arrows were hurled out, but they were stopped by the trap pit, and the Turkic cavalry gathered together were hit by arrows and rolled to the ground.

In the dark night, Sun Xiangfu couldn't see the blurred picture of flesh and blood in front of him, but he was also shocked by this scene of hundreds of people dying in one minute, but he had to calm himself down and think about how to break the enemy.

"Thorn."

"Receive."

"Take three steps back and release the arrow."

"Step forward, thorn."

In the battle array, Guo Po kept shouting at the top of his voice, and several horse traps were between square inches, becoming a meat grinding ground for the Tang army and the Turkic cavalry, in fact, Sun Xiangfu knew that Guo Po continued to roar like this, at most half an hour, his voice could not make a sound, so he hurriedly led the guards and walked towards Wang Xu, who had fought before and was recovering his strength in the rear.

"Wang Gongzi, there are too few of us, and if we continue like this, we won't be able to support it for long."

"What can you do?"

To say that Sun Xiangfu is a battlefield idiot, he has been on the battlefield a few times, and Wang Xu, although he has received the top education since he was a child, this is his first time killing the enemy with a real knife and a real gun, and after the muscle system is running, the brain cells are not necessarily better than Sun Xiangfu.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu's eyes looked at both sides of the mountains, and suddenly, in the TV series, some pictures of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms appeared in his mind.

"Wang Gongzi, at this time in early autumn, the weather is dry and dry, we can let Guo Poxian hold it here, lead the team to the mountains on both sides to tie the branches into round balls, ignite them and roll down the mountain, drive back the Turkic cavalry, and buy some time to wait for reinforcements."

What Sun Xiangfu remembered was the scene of Zhuge Liang burning Bowangpo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the terrain of this Shuanghualing is no worse than Bowangpo, just right for fire attack.

Hearing this, Wang Xu felt that it was feasible, so he said, "In this way, you and I will each lead a hundred people, and go to the mountains on the left and right sides to set branches and start fires in two ways." ”

"I have seen many rebels driven up the mountain by the Turkic cavalry, numbering at least one or two thousand, and now that their leader is dead, if you can pardon them, these people may not be a help."

If it was blocked by more than 10,000 people in a dense formation on this valley ridge road and set up a horse rejection tunnel, it would be difficult for Tuli to attack, but now due to the rebellion, the Wang family soldiers killed each other, and several percent of them were killed and wounded, so that Sun Xiangfu and Wang Xu's people added up to only more than 4,000 people, and these more than 4,000 people have already suffered casualties as Tuli mastered Guo Po's defensive rhythm, so the one or two thousand people who hid on the mountain ridge are not a small force.

"Hmph, these white-eyed wolves that are not familiar with it, if they are willing to surrender, it will be fine, if they are not willing to surrender, they will all be killed."

When Sun Xiangfu mentioned those rebels, Wang Xu was angry, snorted coldly, got off the horse, and was about to lead his own guards to climb the mountain on the left.

"Wait. Wang Gongzi, this official has some good things to ignite the fire, you bring some. ”

Sun Xiangfu gave Zhang Ke a look, and he led the guards to Sun Xiangfu's camp to bring out some alcohol, knowing that there was going to be a war, Sun Xiangfu naturally brought a lot of these things, ready to heal the wounded soldiers.

After explaining the use of alcohol to Wang Xu and agreeing to raise the fire, Sun Xiangfu and the guards ran to the mountain with the things that ignited the fire.

Shuanghualing is not steep, but the slope is very long, there are low shrubs, after a while, to a height of one or two hundred meters, Sun Xiangfu felt safe, so together with the guards, while waving a knife to cut thorns and bushes, while advancing in the direction of the Tuli cavalry.

"Brush ······"

In the bushes, a hiding soldier of the Wang family was alarmed by the guards and fled into the distance, Zhang Ke wanted to raise a crossbow to shoot him, but Sun Xiangfu stopped him.

looked at the bushes in front of him, and organized his language before saying, "Brothers of the Wang family hiding in the bushes, I know that you didn't understand the situation just now and were used by the wicked, and those rebels with black cloth wrapped around their arms are traitors who betrayed the country to seek glory and took refuge in the Turks, you are not, so you don't have to worry that I am here to kill you, I am here to save you, only if we work together to defeat the Turks, everyone can live." ”

As Sun Xiangfu spoke, he had already heard a small noise in the bushes, and glanced at Zhang Ke with a smile, he knew that these people were secretly untying the black cloth strips on their arms.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu said again, "The rebel leader is dead, Wang Xu Gongzi has pardoned all the deceived soldiers, you don't have to hide, come out, I am the court official of Shuozhou, Sun Zhengming, I will not only kill people indiscriminately, but also ensure that you are not killed by others, I hope you believe me." ”

In fact, the struggle for power has always been the people at the top, as the pawns at the bottom, the people at the top do not do it, and the actual significance to them is not great, these Wang family soldiers were originally scattered in Shuozhou villages to manage serfs, and the reputation of the local ruler has naturally been heard of.

Take a look at what Sun Xiangfu did in Shuozhou! Feed the people with their own grain, help the people build houses, reclaim fields, and make a living, even the more than 40,000 Wang family serfs who were brought to the grassland by Wang Xu to farm are also thinking of Sun Xiangfu's good, because he only allows everyone to cultivate 20 acres of land, which is simply happy compared to the time when the Wang family planted nearly 100 acres of land in the past.

Therefore, when Sun Xiangfu said this, the effect was still very great, and some people were bold enough to stand up from the bushes, and then, more people stood up.

After these people stood up, they raised their sabers or weapons with both hands, expressing their willingness to surrender, but Sun Xiangfu shook his head with a smile, stopped the guards from accepting their weapons, and raised his voice and said, "You trust me, so I also trust you, you can hold the weapons yourself, help the official cut the branches, make the ball, if the Wang family wants to ask you afterwards, you have to ask the official first." ”

As soon as Sun Xiangfu's words fell, more people stood up from the bushes, and after a rough calculation, there were as many as a thousand.

"Okay, let's not make it again, the brothers below are going to suffer, and the official will show you."

It is not difficult to weave a round thing with branches and rattans, especially for people like Sun Xiangfu who have experience in fishing cages, so soon, on the hillside on his side, everyone entered the busy rush work.
