Zhang Xiu silently watched Suning leave the camp, first thinking west and then north away from his field of vision.

Before Suning came here, I knew that sooner or later there would be such a battle, and I made a plan early, and then told everyone who was going to participate in this battle in detail and carefully.

He Zhang Xiu was just one of them, but he could feel Suning's determination just like everyone else in the know.

For the kind of feeling that is willing to put oneself in danger for the sake of victory, every object will send its sincere admiration.

Whether it is Zhang Xiu or others, it will not be an exception.

In fact, there are not many soldiers and horses brought by Suning, most of them are only about 600 people. These people were already fully aware of the dangers of this trip before this, although their equipment was well-equipped enough, especially the enhanced version of the Wugang car that they belonged to, which was Suning's painstaking work these days.

Hou Cheng walked in the queue with a smile, constantly looking up and down at the strange-shaped Wugang car. Aside from the grain bags stacked on it, just the high left and low right board make people feel that this car is very weird.

However, Hou Cheng thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't tell where the weirdness of this Wugang car was, he only vaguely felt that such a design must have its use.

The other soldiers also thought the same, although they were all just selected warriors who dared to fight, and they claimed that they had no regrets about dying on the battlefield, but they could not see their generous and sad songs on this journey to death, but from time to time there were bursts of laughter and laughter, which made Suning constantly cast their eyes on them.

The people of Liangzhou are light on life and death, this may have been just a sentence before, but the current battle of the great enemy is close at hand, and they have witnessed such a tragic fierce battle just now, but they still haven't been able to make them take their future life seriously, Suning can only say that their nerves are really very thick, and they can withstand the impact of such a shocking war scene. It's just that he doesn't know whether to praise them for their excellent psychological quality, or to sigh at the hardships of the life of Liangzhou people?

Time passed quietly in their mental activity, and when the sun set, they gradually realized that they were far away from the camp.

In the vast grassland, the cavalry of the northern barbarians may appear at any time, which means a threat of death for them, and leaving to meet them means that they have lost their biggest barrier, and the only thing that can resist the enemy's scimitar may be their own fragile life.

The evening breeze slowly blows, making the temperature accumulated during the autumn days gradually disappear from everyone. Fear sprouts from the nerve fibers as the cold erodes it, and gradually invades everyone's mind.

But their faces were still calm, not only did they not want to be ridiculed for the vanity of cowards, but they, who had been trained for a long time, also knew that fear was the most useless thing in this prairie.

Although Suning had spent the night in the wild before, it was not under the watchful eye of a strong enemy, so he was also very careful this time. The arrangement of the camp is even more thorough to the point where everything must be done personally.

Liu Yutang's demanding requirements. It took a long time for the soldiers to set up their tents, and by the time they started to light a fire and cook, the golden sunroom was gone, replaced by a waning moon hanging in the distant sky.

"The night is hazy tonight, so you should be careful that the enemy steals the camp." Hou Cheng whispered while observing the surrounding situation, but he soon found that Suning seemed to have been on guard against this, and the Wugang cars that he had been puzzled about before had been arranged into a ring array at this time, and their tents were in the center of the ring, which meant that those Wugang cars had turned into fences to protect them, and they were standing quietly around at the moment, blocking all enemies, including wild wolves and Xianbei people.

The aroma of barbecue may emanate from the cracks of the Dancing Steel Cart, but the icy rain splash can also shoot enemies in search of prey in the night.

Hou Cheng had already noticed that the grain that was originally in Wu Gang's car had been removed. Instead, archers hid behind side guards.

At the same time, those spearmen also gathered between the gaps in Wu Gang's car. If anyone is lucky enough not to fall under the feather sword, then they will have to face the attack of the spear.

It's a rudimentary but fairly well-developed defense. And it's still movable overall. Next, if the terrain allows, Hou Cheng believes that Suning will maintain this formation and move forward.

What happened early the next morning quickly confirmed Hou Cheng's suspicions. However, his guess did not seem to be complete, so much so that he was shocked and even frightened when certain facts appeared in front of him.

Within half an hour of their restart, there were already four or five new patient scouts along the way. The steppe men, who had not yet had any problems with their brain cells, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and their group of people who were escorting grain and grass had obviously been targeted by the enemy.

The confrontation between the Xianbei and the Han Dynasty had been going on for some time, so they understood the weakness of the Han army, and it was in terms of logistical supply. And with the lightness and speed of their cavalry, they can cut off the supply lines of the Han Dynasty very well. This was one of the secrets of their victory in the defeat of the Han Dynasty army a few years ago. The Xianbei people who have tasted the sweetness will definitely repeat the old trick this time.

However, when the Xunfei people who attacked them began to gather, the men, including Hou Cheng, realized that their situation was really as dangerous as Suning said.

The smile of death has already appeared in the sky of this steppe. Looking at the strange clouds and the changing direction of the wind, you know that what will happen next must not be a simple fight.

"Hou Cheng, the archers are under your command, and it depends on you whether the formation can hold it."

As soon as Hou Cheng gritted his teeth, he jumped into the nearest Wugang car. The grain bags on them had only been brought up again when they set off this morning, and in less than half an hour, the soldiers had to hurriedly leave them in the Wugang car.

Hou Cheng soon noticed that his robes were obviously very dissatisfied with this kind of mechanical reciprocating work, but they still did as Suning ordered, but they were not so polite to the grain bags, and many of the grain bags were thrown down by them, so that they were more or less damaged.

But Hou Cheng didn't have time to take a closer look at what was in those grain bags, since he had received Suning's assignment, he needed to master his palmistry immediately, so he stood on Wu Gang's car and shouted to the archers around him: "If the brothers still want to go home alive to see their wives and children, then let those Xianbei cubs never see their wives and children." ”

Heroic cheers came from all around, and they responded to Hou Cheng's simple, rude and direct call. In the vast grasslands, the horn of war has been sounded, and the true drop of your death will be fulfilled in most ordinary soldiers.

Every mammal can't die for its home like a soldier ant, they have the concern of being a mammal. However, it is precisely because of this concern that they also have the courage to die like illness.

For the sake of his wife and children, for his father, mother, and son, since he is unwilling to turn into a weed trampled by the northern barbarians, he will spray his blood on the enemy's face.

Even if they were facing at least 12 Xianbei cavalry. Each of them has more than 2,000 people, and the combined estimate is close to 30,000. This is the source of fear for Hou Cheng and others.

No matter what Hou Cheng said, he often saw people fighting, and the battle of three or five thousand did not make him tremble. However, the movement of thirty or fifty thousand made his hand holding the longbow begin to tremble constantly.

600 against 30,000. That's a 1-50 disparity.

Although it is not unprecedented in the history of war, those who have won the war are all regarded as legends and enjoy the treatment of shining in the annals of history.

Hou Cheng didn't know if he could leave his name in history, but he clearly realized in his heart that only by letting himself live longer could he have more opportunities to let future generations know that there was a guy named Hou Cheng in the northwest.

The horses of the Xianbei moved gently, and under the guidance of Micah, they began to launch a tentative attack.

Hou Cheng and his archers quickly launched a counterattack, given that the horses could not jump over the defense line formed by Wu Gangcha at all, and the others were also unhurriedly selling their bows and arrows, although the battle had just begun, they had already switched to the mode of pursuing accuracy, rather than covering the kill.

The Xianbei people who launched a tentative attack did not feel a strong sense of oppression, which made Micah, who was commanding on the opposite side, believe more and more that there were not many decent soldiers and horses among the people who escorted the grain and grass this time.

However, he still felt that he should be cautious, after all, hiding behind those archers was a figure who could hold up the banner of the Su character.

Among the main military generals in Liangzhou, there is only one guy surnamed Su, and that is Suning, who gave him the fiasco yesterday.

He didn't want all his main force to be buried in the hands of this Jianghu.

So he ordered his men to launch a tentative attack again, but this time the rain of arrows from the archers on the opposite side became more sparse. Many cannon fodder from small tribes were able to easily rush in front of Wu Gang's car, but their bows and arrows and scimitars could not cause any damage to the sturdy vehicles at all, but people were frequently attacked by spears and died on the spot.

Suning clearly has its own defenses. But that's all there is to it. Mika didn't believe that guy would have any kind of routine, after all, this was in the prairie that the Xianbei people were more familiar with, and the strange and skillful skills that the Han people could use would not be very brilliant here.

Thus began the formal assault, first of all, the cavalry from all directions launched a frontal assault, they would throw the iron claws off the Wugang chariots, and then turn the horse's head and advance with all their might, trying to pull the high side panels to the ground, just as they usually pulled the barracks of the Han troops.

This time, however, their tricks didn't seem to work.

The developing warhorses, which were moving slowly, quickly became good targets for archers, and the iron claws that grabbed the side baffles quickly slipped off because Suning had polished the edges of the baffles. In this way, the traction of the horses cannot be applied to the Wugang car.

However, the attack of the Xianbei people did not stop because of this small accident, after all, they mobilized nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses from all directions this time, and launched a fierce charge towards the small team that protected the grain and grass with a tenfold advantage, although the feather arrows of Hou Cheng and others successfully blocked many enemies, but the other party was a grassland barbarian after all, and they had practiced archery since childhood, and they still had an absolute advantage in numbers, so Hou Cheng and others were suppressed soon after.

This was not the situation that Suning wanted to see, but this was the case, even if Hou Cheng was a sharpshooter, and he shot the Xianbei middle-level generals who were commanding him many times during the battle between the two sides, but he couldn't stop all the Xianbei people's attacks.

In this case, Suning Smart has launched a backup plan. Originally, this death journey had been expected by him. However, when this moment really came, he still couldn't do it.

"Pass my order to bring the bags of grain some distance closer to the middle, and we will reduce the perimeter of the defensive circle and increase the thickness of the defensive circle."

In fact, it is not difficult to implement his words. The work of carrying the grain bags only requires selecting a strong man, carrying a shield to block the incoming bow and arrows, and pulling the grain bag closer to the middle.

However, this is only the first half of this order, and the implementation of the second half is much more difficult, if you want to adjust the formation of the Wugang car, someone must go to pull the car.

However, the long-range striking capabilities of both sides were very strong, and the archers could not stop the Xianbei cavalry from rushing forward, which meant that the ancestors of the scimitars alone could take the lives of the coachmen.

In this case, who would dare to pull those Wugang cars in the past?

Although the vast majority of them had been informed before the trip had been made, the odds of them making it back alive were very slim. However, being informed does not mean that they can be courageous. Although the people of Liangzhou live and die lightly, they are also human beings after all, and they don't want to leave their cherished family so easily.

Suning also knew this, so he simply jumped off his war horse and made a move that surprised everyone.

He actually ran in front of a Wugang car and pulled it up with all his strength.

"Brothers, adjust the angle with me! We're going to turn one layer of defense into three layers! ”

However, before he could finish his words, a scimitar slashed at his neck.
