Chapter 173: Head Iron! It's just !!
Squinting slightly, he looked up at a goshawk flying faintly in the sky.
"See how long you can endure!" Shang Ji sneered and said to himself.
As Donghu's old opponent, how could the Yan army not know about Donghu Shengying? Qin Wei had already deliberately reminded Shang Ji to pay attention to Donghu Shengying's reconnaissance. However, knowing is knowing, Yan Jun has no effective means of prevention. The strength of the Donghu Sacred Eagle itself is not weak, and it flies very high, so ordinary people can't see it, let alone any effective means of dealing with it.
Although Shang Ji's archery skills are good, he can't do anything about Donghu Shengying.
"Be vigilant and prevent the Donghu people from raiding!" Guo Biao, who was next to him, heard Shang Ji's self-talk, and couldn't help but remind the army loudly again.
Under the leadership of Shang Ji, the convoy continued to move forward in an orderly manner.
"Stop!" Half an hour later, Shang Ji suddenly shouted.
As Shang Ji's voice fell, the marching convoy immediately stopped, and the queue of thousands of people ordered the order, without any superfluous movements and noisy sounds.
Shang Ji frowned, seriously perceiving the movement near the person.
Seeing this, Guo Biao didn't need Shang Ji's orders, he immediately turned over and dismounted, leaned over and stuck to the ground, and carefully distinguished.
After a while, Guo Biao got up excitedly, went to Shang Ji's side and said, "Sima, at least two thousand cavalry, no more than fifteen miles away from here!" ”
"Defensive formation!" Shang Ji immediately shouted and ordered.
With the order of Shang Ji issued, more than 1,000 soldiers who were responsible for escorting grain and grass immediately changed formations. Wagons loaded with grain were placed in the outermost part of the periphery, connected together, to form a preliminary fortification.
In addition, there were soldiers who constantly sprinkled thistles on the perimeter of the fortifications to defend against the cavalry. The carriages were also fastened with ropes, and together with the food on the carriages, they formed a good fortification.
The men were swift and skillful, methodical, and apparently specially trained.
"Sima, do you want to send a signal to the general now?" Guo Biao asked beside him.
"No, wait, with Tomunbo's cunning, we only have one chance, wait until the battle is over!" Shang Ji did not hesitate to veto Guo Biao's suggestion.
"Understood!" Guo Biao gave up his hand and went down to arrange defense matters.
Just after Shang Ji's fortifications were completed and all the soldiers were in place, a group of Donghu cavalry appeared on the horizon in the distance.
The Donghu cavalry was very fast, and after a few moments they arrived in front of the Shang Ji array.
After observing the defensive position built by the carriage for a moment, Tomnubo sneered: "Carving insect skills! ”
"Shoot the arrows!"
With Tomnubo's order, the Donghu people took out their housekeeping skills - riding and shooting!
Two thousand Donghu cavalry surrounded the chariot formation, firing non-stop.
There was no need for Shang Ji's order, since the appearance of the Donghu cavalry, the Yan soldiers consciously erected a shield wall composed of giant shields.
"Jingle Bell!" There was a crisp sound, and the defense mechanism composed of the carriage and the shield wall perfectly resisted the rain of arrows of the Donghu cavalry.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, the casualties of the Yan army were almost negligible.
"Wang Bahuzi!" With a cold snort, Tomnubo said sarcastically with a gloomy face.
"It's a pity that our army came in a hurry and didn't bring rockets, otherwise they would have turned them into roasted kings!" Seeing that Tomnubo's face was unhappy, a Donghu general next to him immediately spoke up and found a step down for him.
"I want you slave!" Tomnubo reprimanded the Donghu general, but his face improved significantly.
"Minions are talkative, minions are talkative!" The Donghu general sneered with a sneer, and slapped himself twice while pleading.
"Commander Nubo, the enemy army is heavily defended, and the strong attack may cause great losses, so it is better for us to retreat first!" A middle-aged member of the East Hu Wu will persuade beside him.
Tomnubo also hesitated when he heard this. He was alone, with only two thousand troops, and once the losses of these two thousand troops were too great, he had to lead his army back.
In his eyes, as long as he can endure a certain degree of casualties, it is not difficult to break through the "turtle formation" of Shangji. It's just that it's worth it at the expense of others is up for debate.
"Shoot the arrows!" Tomnubo hesitated, and Shang Ji saw that the Donghu people's offensive was slowing down, and immediately ordered.
The archers, who had long been ready to attack, immediately fired their arrows at the Donghu cavalry.
"Whoosh ......"
After a rain of arrows, at least nearly 100 Donghu people were hit by arrows. However, there was armor to protect them, but not many were mortally wounded.
After a rain of arrows, the car formation was not chaotic at all, and Tomnubo saw this, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Retreat!" On top of the warhorse, Tomnubo shouted. The Donghu cavalry received the order to immediately stop the attack and follow Tomnubo's collapse.
Now it's the turn of the merchant in the car formation to be dumbfounded!
Originally, according to Shang Ji's plan, he would resist first, and then wait for the Donghu people to attack. Shang Ji would signal the army to release the water, so that the Donghu people quickly broke through the first line of defense, and Shang Ji led the army to retreat into the second car formation.
At the same time, a signal was sent to Qin Wei, ordering Qin Wei to immediately lead his army to support.
At that time, the Shang Ji Department will definitely be entangled with the Donghu cavalry, even if Tomnubo finds out the problem and wants to retreat, it depends on whether the Shang Ji agrees or not!
With the thousands of elite soldiers under Shang Ji, it was no problem to delay the two thousand Donghu cavalry for half an hour.
When the reinforcements led by Qin Wei arrived, Shang Ji and Qin Wei were caught between inside and outside, and Tomnubo couldn't run away even if he had the ability to reach the sky!
But! Who knew that Tomnubo was so cautious, and after a little temptation, he didn't give Shang Ji a chance to resist waterproofing at all, and immediately withdrew decisively.
Now Shang Ji is a little embarrassed. Although he successfully repelled Tomnubo's raids and completed the task of escorting the grain, this was not the result Shang Ji wanted at all!
"Sima, what should we do now?" Looking at the distant figure of the Donghu people, Guo Biao was also a little confused. What about the bait? Say that the good nine deaths are a lifetime? Why did it end like this?
"Are you afraid of death?" Shang Ji suddenly asked in a loud voice.
Being asked such a sudden question, Guo Biao and the others were obviously stunned, but everyone reacted instantly.
"Kill Hu and die, die as you deserve!" Guo Biao shouted first.
"Kill Hu and die, where he died!" The rest of the crowd immediately shouted in unison.
"Good!"
Shang Ji shouted, stood up and said, "Since this is the case, then let's kill Hu!" ”
"Kill Hu! Kill Hu! Kill Hu! The morale of the generals was high and they shouted in unison!
"The troops obeyed the order, moved the carriage, and lined up with the general to kill Hu!"
The Yan army was in a sensation and immediately swarmed out, moving the carriage that was used as a fortification, and then quickly completed the formation.
Led by Shang Ji, followed by two hundred cavalry, and finally nearly a thousand foot soldiers, chanting the slogan of killing Hu, pursued the retreating Donghu army!
