The optimism and confidence of the leader greatly infected the other three chiefs, and a rare smile appeared on their faces, and they began to be full of confidence in this battle.

Wang Ming's hand finally rushed over with Cao Peng's shout, and all the mobilized young men were concentrated near the gently sloped road in the west of the hills. The more sturdy working women were also organized, and these stout working women were to do auxiliary tasks such as carrying stones, treating the wounded, and so on. Each strong is dealt with two or more pointed sticks, which are to be thrown at the enemy as wooden javelins.

Standing beside the ox cart, Zhao Hong looked at the enemy soldiers who were getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision, and began to estimate the war situation in his heart, his department had less than 60 young and strong, although there were more enemy troops, about 70 or so, but the enemy did not have a geographical advantage, and the actual number of enemies and friends was not far from the same in terms of condescending advantage.

Zhao Hong, who had not paid attention to it when it was dark before, noticed for the first time that the neighboring enemy had raised a long banner, and it could be seen from the information written on the banner that this cavalry belonged to Changshan County, the light cavalry unit of Shangai County.

"Soldiers!" Zhao Hong was suddenly shocked in his heart, this is an official army, last night's encounter actually killed a few officers and soldiers, this can cause a big disaster, killing officers and soldiers is no different from rebellion! But then Zhao Hong was relieved, in this situation, if he didn't kill them, could he still wait to be killed?

The cavalry of Shangai County did not persuade them to surrender or other nonsense, obviously they also knew that it was impossible for Zhao Hong's team to surrender under the current situation, so they held small round arm shields one after another, and gradually advanced slowly eastward along the relatively gentle ramp.

The dismounted cavalryman's small round-arm shields overlapped each other, like patches of small brown mushrooms, swaying incessantly with the breeze.

There were also more than a dozen sharp spikes in the mushroom, which protruded about a foot long from the gap in the cavalry shield. With the advantage of the higher terrain, Zhao Hong could calmly see that behind the cavalry round shield, there were many county soldiers holding big bows or horn bows, and they were carrying full quivers on their waists, obviously preparing to carry out long-range strikes on the personnel of the Baoji Zhai Tribal Alliance.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Hong thought for a moment, turned around and called Cao Peng, who was holding the recurve compound bow, Cao Peng was stroking the bow ears of this bow from the northern desert at this time, as if he could feel the heroic spirit of his ancestors.

"You have organized all the sturdy men who know how to shoot arrows to lie in ambush on that high ground, and when the flanks of the enemy are exposed to you, you will unleash arrows at them when my sword is drawn." Cao Peng, who received the task, put the recurve compound bow on his back again, and then he turned around and went to organize the manpower, and soon ambushed with more than a dozen archers.

"All troops on alert." With Zhao Hong's order, Wang Ming led nearly twenty strong men carrying door panels to defend against the enemy's attack from the front. Relying on ox carts, they began to deploy defensive positions. Enemy troops were to attack along the main road, which had steep slopes on both sides. This kind of terrain is difficult to travel, the advantage of troops can not be developed at all, which is not conducive to large-scale attacks, if the enemy really attacks from both sides of the road, then they are the target of arrows when they climb up slowly, and they can be calmly eliminated when they climb up like adding oil, such a situation Zhao Hong certainly can't ask for. From the other directions, the other strong men were led by Li Yong and Liu Song, respectively, who hid in the steeper terrain on both sides of the road, and set up in ambush under the cover of bushes and trees that had few leaves left. Each carries a wooden javelin on their backs, while stones are piled up in front of their feet, which will also be used to throw at the enemy. Zhao Hong, who was dressed in leather armor, also drew his long iron sword, and his right arm hung a small arm shield captured last night, Zhao Hong was also ready to take the lead in the battle at the necessary moment.

……

These enemy soldiers were only eighty paces away from the main defensive position of the ox carts, which served as roadblocks and fortifications. Near the commanding heights in front of the left side of the ox cart, Cao Peng and his archers lay behind the concealment, and they relied on the high terrain to make the enemy close at hand invisible to their bodies, and no one dared to stick their heads out to look at the enemy. And Cao Peng's eyes on his stomach were just staring at Zhao Hong's position, and Zhao Hong, as the leader, also took advantage of the terrain to hide in the enemy's high position at this time, but Cao Peng, who was also in a higher position, could clearly observe the leader's every move.

……

The slowly approaching enemy army was only fifty steps away from the main defense, and Zhao Hong was also nervous, he took a deep breath slightly, then inserted the long sword into the soil, and stroked his heart with his right hand, only in this way could he feel a trace of peace in his restless heart.

……

It was the first time that Liu Song, who was ambushed on the hillside, had confronted so many well-equipped enemy troops, and although there were more enemies in the defensive battle of Baoji Village a few months ago, the average equipment was indeed inferior to that of the cavalry of the county.

Most of the enemy troops outside the twenty zhang had leather armor on their upper bodies, and there were many enemy soldiers with bows and arrows guarding the surroundings, and the bows in the hands of those enemy soldiers obviously did not have hunting bows, either Tuomu large bows or compound bows. The nervous Liu Song only felt that his legs were trembling, and his hands were a little disobedient. Fortunately, he was squatting on the ground now, and Liu Song secretly felt fortunate that his hands could barely support the ground and not sit down, otherwise he would make a fool of himself in front of his subordinates.

……

Li Yong, who had a stick of grass in his mouth, sat on a rock, chewing on the yellow, tasteless stalks, and Li Yong was also thinking. Since following Brother Hong, he has participated in so many battles, the defensive battle of Baoji Village, the night attack of the Xianbei people, and I have never seen any miserable scenes. I have been exercising for so long, and I am much more courageous than before, and I used to tremble with fear when I saw a corpse, but the last time the Xianbei people attacked at night, I personally chopped the throat of a Xianbei person with a firewood knife. These cavalrymen look brightly armoured, but can they be more powerful than the Xianbei people who gave the Luoyang court a headache? This time, the mighty Brother Hong will definitely be able to make them return home!

……

The cavalry of the county with a shield was only thirty steps away from the ox cart that was placed horizontally, and Zhao Hong, who was hiding behind a few trees, covered his face and other vital positions with a cavalry round shield, due to the reversibility of the light path, the enemy could not see himself at all when he could not see the enemy. At this distance, the threat of the bow and arrow is not big for the armored oneself, and even if it is shot, it is just a flesh wound, but the so-called big thing is to spare oneself, and it is better to be careful.

……

Wang Ming, who was behind the ox cart, was pressing against the door panel with his left elbow at this time, and the huge door panel almost covered the entire field of vision in front of him, through a small number of observation holes cut out of the door panel, Wang Ming, who was standing, could clearly see the enemy wearing fur, and the small round shield of the cavalry did not cover them impermeable, but also blocked the vital parts of the body. Wang Ming, who was observing carefully, could even see the eyebrows and noses on their faces clearly, and on the bodies of these dismounted cavalrymen on foot, a fierce murderous aura that could not be concealed was inadvertently revealed. After observing the situation, Wang Ming looked left and right, and while the sturdy beside him was protecting himself with the door panel, he was holding a wooden javelin in his right hand. I saw that their hands holding the javelins tightly were covered with sweat, and it turned out that they were not nervous alone!

……

The cavalry of the county who were slowly advancing were only twenty paces away from the ox cart, and they cautiously held round shields and kept approaching the main position composed of ox carts and door panels.

"This is the time!" Zhao Hong, who had been quietly observing the situation, suddenly shouted in his heart, he suddenly flashed out from behind the hidden tree, and suddenly slashed the long sword in his hand in the direction of Cao Peng's ambush.

……

Cao Peng, who had been observing Zhao Hong's direction, saw Zhao Hong swing the long sword angrily, and he had been waiting for a long time and waved his hand at the archers around him, and then he had already buckled the arrow in his hand, and the recurved compound bow was immediately pulled into a full moon by the strong Cao Peng. The other archers had already placed more than a dozen arrows from their quivers. When they saw Cao Peng get up, they all followed the posture of the chief and stood up, and stretched their bows and arrows at the side of the county soldiers who had no shield to protect them. Compound bows of different sizes, large bows, and hunting bows were all pulled into a full moon.

Accompanied by a sound of "Release!" that burst out from the dantian's breath! More than ten off-string feather arrows flew to the unprepared back of the county cavalry, and there were eight or nine county cavalry arrows on the spot, four of whom were shot at the vital parts without the protection of the cavalry armor, and the string fell immediately, and the rest were shot at the parts protected by the cavalry armor but also suffered a certain amount of trauma, and their combat effectiveness was also greatly reduced, and they temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

The most important thing is that these cavalry of the county did not expect that there would be feathered arrows in the opposite direction at all, and they were a little panicked for a while when they were attacked unprepared.

A dozen soldiers in the front row with small round shields tried to squeeze into the rear, trying to shield the archers in the rear from the bows and arrows coming from the flanks. While the soldiers who were originally in the front tried to retreat, some archers in the back tried to retreat to the front for shield cover, and the two opposite groups of people crowded together, which suddenly made the originally orderly phalanx seem a little chaotic......
