"My lord! Be careful! ”

Hou Cheng saw the danger he had encountered for four years, and he quickly jumped up and skillfully released an arrow in mid-air. The sword was like a meteor catching the moon, and in an instant, it plunged into the enemy's chest. Suning, only to hear a plop around him, he saw that a Xianbei cavalry had fallen to the ground, he struggled to pull the Wugang car behind him, and on the other side raised his thumb, and made an appreciative gesture to Hou Cheng, who had just landed.

Such a wonderful performance naturally brought a burst of cheers from the surrounding soldiers. However, after cheering, they have to face a more severe challenge than Suning and Houcheng, after all, their life is not easy, and they cannot be compared with the two of them.

As a result, the inevitable casualties appeared one after another in the following time, and many soldiers who followed Suning's example noticed the danger around them the moment they pulled Wu Gang's car. Although there were more or less archers around them, after they released a few pieces to shoot a few opponents, they found that more and more enemies were pouring up behind them.

At this moment, the speed of the bow was far less than the speed of the enemy, so they had to throw away their beloved bow and arrows, draw the scimitar hanging from their waists, and engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

A group of men who usually use bows and arrows, even if they have made achievements in swordsmanship, I am afraid that their attainments will not reach the level of a hundred enemies, so Suning's ears came one after another with the screams of them before they collapsed and died.

"Faster, faster, they can't stand it!" Suning shouted loudly to his companions, but the Wugang car was originally designed according to the B category, and the body itself was very heavy, which was not conducive to rapid movement.

So in this process, a few more archers lost their lives in close combat, and even those who co-opted Wugangche, there were also many people who made mistakes in their busyness and neglected the precautions around them, and the Xianbei people seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to end their lives.

Fortunately, in the center of the formation, there were still many Suning's fallen soldiers who were not like them scrambling for the stairs. At the same time, the spearmen began to take over from the archers, playing the role of their rightful melee defender.

Hou Cheng also lost his bow and arrow just now, and was fighting with the enemy with a scimitar at this time, but his knife skills were obviously not as good as his archery, and he was cut several times by the enemy who had an absolute advantage in numbers in a few rounds.

Suning glanced at him worriedly, looking at this situation, maybe he would go out of business on the spot after a few moves.

"Hou Cheng, quickly retreat, I'll cover you!"

Hou Cheng knew that his situation was very dangerous, and he couldn't take care of it too much, so after hearing Suning's order, he hurriedly jumped back into the camp, but fortunately, at this time, the position adjustment of Wu Gang's car was finally completed, and the defensive circle that was originally only a thin layer has now become a thick three-layer.

The spearmen hurriedly retreated into the array, but the Wugang chariot that had already formed was also blocking them. In this process, they paid the price of nearly twenty or thirty people before they could return to the shelter of Wugang Che, and the cavalry with a large size would be difficult to cross the Wugang Chariot Line unless they dismounted and fought on foot.

However, as a result of dismounting, the archers who had retreated earlier would take good care of them. In the pit stop just now, they also paid nearly 50 casualties. This is actually very difficult for Hou Cheng to accept.

The archers in the army generally fight at a long distance, so there will not be too many casualties in normal times, but this time the situation is really special, so they can only accept this result with grief and indignation, and only ask for the bow and arrow in the center of their hands to shoot more Xianbei cavalry that rushed over later, and avenge the dead robes.

At this moment, the battle situation has returned to the stalemate stage just now, and Suning's defense has greatly increased, but his manpower has been reduced by nearly 1/7, which will cause greater difficulties in the next battle.

Micah stood on a high slope in the distance, watching Suning exchange a tighter defensive formation at the cost of nearly a hundred people. Just now, this strange vehicle only formed a thin layer of defense, and it prevented the Xianbei cavalry from crossing. Now there are as many as three layers in front of them.

If they still try to use cavalry to charge, they can only let the heroic ancestors die on the back of their horses, so the original strategy must be changed.

Fortunately, he didn't have other plans to choose from.

"Bring the captives of the tribesmen, young and old, and tell them that I will release the first to break through the enemy's formation, and that there is no need to return to the north with us to work as coolies, along with the strength of his family."

Striving for population was originally a common means of the Manchus in the north, and the strong labor force was the most urgently needed supplementary resource for the tribes that fought abroad all the year round.

As for the old and weak soldiers, they are like a burden, and they don't care about the lives of these people. Now they have encountered the tenacious defense line arranged by Suning, but they just happened to drive them to use as strikers.

Although they, the northern barbarians in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, did not know that after 1800, people invented the term cannon fodder to describe the old and weak women and children they drove away.

Suning stood behind Wu Gang's car, staring intently at the cannon fodder that was slowly moving towards them, these people were all Qiang tribes living in Beidi County, although the local Han people had decreased sharply, they had an unshirkable responsibility. But now they are also victims of war.

The slight difference is that they are obviously more familiar with the rules of the steppe, and know what the dangers of being cannon fodder are, but they also know what kind of reward cannon fodder will receive once they can help the main force to victory?

For a group of slaves who have just lost their freedom, they are reminiscing about the good old days, and at this time, if they are given a chance to go back to the past, then they would rather fight for their lives than go to the more bitter north, and live those lives that are worse than death.

So the pace under their feet was unexpectedly slowly accelerated by Suning, these people were not the Han people of the Central Plains after all, even if they were attacking the army of the Han Dynasty, there was not much hesitation and hesitation on their faces, but their eyes were full of a lot of cruelty, as if they were not only dying, but also the sweet reward that fish death often accompanies them.

"What a bunch of deadly guys!" Suning snorted coldly, and then he figured out the other party's commander's thoughts, if he continued to use cavalry to impact his own line, then he could only cause greater casualties, in the face of this infantry defense-based formation, they could only use infantry to attack, and the infantry-level combat effectiveness of the northern barbarians was almost negligible, so they could only use the number to win, and then if the losses were too large, I was afraid that the evil supplements participating in the battle would be dissatisfied with him, so they had to use the strong population, anyway, these old, weak, sick and disabled are just some additives, As long as those strong people do not suffer too heavy casualties, then this raid can be regarded as saving the capital.

It turns out that this is the so-called rule of the steppe people, and they are indeed worthless compared to civilization. So how credible is their school's promise? I'm afraid there are very few. However, it is chilling to think that those who were taken captive were willing to die for them.

After Suning was anxious about the other party's IQ, he found that his situation did not seem to be good, although the number of these captives was not large, but they all had the heart of death, once they crossed the defense line of Wugang, it would be a life-and-death fight, not to mention that behind them, there was also a Xianbei elite who were ready to attack. If they succeed in breaking through a gap, then Suning will face more than just this group of old and weak soldiers.

So Suning had no choice. He gritted his teeth and gave the order in a cold tone: "Melee killing, don't waste bows and arrows!" The spearman, the sword and shield man are in charge of the main attack! Archers take cover at close range, making it easy to recover arrows. ”

Suning's shouts of orders were so loud that even the cannon fodder who were slowly approaching them could hear it. However, Suning speaks Chinese, and not everyone can understand it, and only those Qiang elders who walk around all year round can understand what Suning said.

In this episode, there is an old Qiang man named Origu. I clearly understood what Suning meant. He hurriedly said to his familiar companion: "The other party has not many bows and arrows, let's rest assured and boldly rush forward, as long as we put it on the enemy of the Yin Spirit." ”

The Xi tribe of the Qiang tribe is similar to the Huns, they have always had little respect for the elderly, but on the contrary regard them as a burden, so Origu's prestige among the tribe has plummeted as he has aged. However, people of his age still remember his sassy and heroic appearance back then, so they are also convinced of his words.

So under the leadership of their small group, the pace of these cannon fodder has become more vigorous.

After watching them from a distance, Mika, noticing this small change, he couldn't help but start to get excited about his decision, it seems that this effort was quite successful, and he inadvertently caught a few useful old guys, and he was also a very obedient old guy, you must know that most of the tribes on the grassland are unruly, and it is generally impossible to conquer them in a short time, and it is also thanks to these Qiang tribes who have dealt with the Han people all year round, and they are inevitably contaminated with the sheep temperament of the Han people. But the steppe people are more like wolves after all, so this group of old wolves will burst out with such strong combat effectiveness at the moment of life and death.

The combat effectiveness of the old wolves is indeed strong, and there happens to be a frivolous wolf in the examination car array.

He doesn't care how long you've lived on this grassland, for him, this grassland is just a few dozen more rabbits that can slowly turn into a void and a fragile place with the passage of time.

As for whether the warriors of the Qiang tribe or the evil wolves of the jungle grassland live on this grassland, it doesn't matter to him. His spears and iron claws had prepared the way for these foes to die.

Therefore, after arranging the internal test of Wugang's car, he led the sword and shield hand to rush out of the protection range of Wugang's car.

Origu couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw a group of sword and shield men rushing out of the other party's strange car formation, did he really think that their group of old guys couldn't eat mutton or drink good wine?

I saw this wolf on the prairie, with a quick forward roll, accurately picked up a scimitar from the side of a dead corpse. Most of the cannon fodder who followed him closely followed him in the same way, but many of them were not as nimble as him. Fortunately, their brains are not stupid, and the child fell on the way to the charge, picking up one or two weapons at hand, and fortunately, in the next fight, they can have more chances to survive.

Origu swept the long knife in his hand, which was obviously much lighter than the one he used when he was younger, but now that he was too old, perhaps this was the best way to use it.

It's a pity that her unsuccessful son can only use such a long knife now, which more or less chops his majesty, otherwise how could his tribe have no power to parry when they are attacked first, and it will not take long for them to become a prisoner of war.

Today's group of young people is just too far behind. He had no choice but to put his life on the line in exchange for them to return to the tribe alive. Although the Qiang tribe does not pay attention to the inheritance of incense, the continuation of the tribe is still very important. If all the strong male soldiers of this tribe are dead, then this tribe will only have to wait quietly for time to kill on the prairie.

So he had to fight his way through it today.

If you can kill the boy who took the lead, maybe you can take advantage of the victory and chase down. When the time comes, the tribe's strong men, including his son, will be able to regain their freedom.

So he shouted, beckoning his former brothers to rush to Suning who led the crowd out.

Suning's Five Tiger Broken Door Gun has become more and more proficient, and he doesn't think that he can still meet an opponent comparable to him on this grassland, even if it is Zhang Xiu, the gun king of the Northland, I am afraid that he will be slightly inferior to himself in terms of strength. As for Zhang Ren, who was able to barely fight with himself back then, he is not his opponent now.

With such a strong sense of self-confidence, Suning locked his goal on the old Qiang man who rushed to the front.

With a simple thrust, Suning pumped the tip of the gun to the opponent's throat, but something unexpected happened to him, the wolf actually waved the scimitar in his hand, and blocked his thunderous blow at once.

Suning was slightly stunned for a moment, judging from the strength transmitted from his arm, the cannon fodder in the lead actually had martial arts that were not lost to Zhang Ren.
