While running and killing, Xia Bangwei suddenly bent over and retched.
"Sir," the guards rushed over to protect you, "have a drink of water."
Situations like this are common among the entire Dingxi garrison. Most of them are caused by excessive exhaustion and not eating for a long time.
Report!
A soldier hurriedly squeezed in from behind.
"Sir, news from General Huo."
"Read it!" Xia Bang poured water into Gudonggudongdi's mouth and stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth.
"Angel has jumped over the wall in a hurry and is about to break out. General Huo ordered us to get out of the way."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Xia Bangwei felt very relaxed and was about to laugh.
However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although they were exhausted, most of the Xiliang people they met along the way were frightened.
If the opponent hadn't put up layers of obstacles, thorns and wooden fences in advance, Xia Bangwei would have thought that his group of exhausted soldiers could fight their way to the south gate of Tuishi to meet up with Huo Yun's men.
Now that there are Yunchui soldiers from all directions, there is almost only one intersection for Angel to break out, and that is the northeast direction where they are.
Xia Bangwei looked back, "How many brothers do we have who can fight?"
There was silence all around, and it took a while before a guard spoke up, "Sir, it's less than five thousand."
"Where's the arrow array?"
"The number of archers is already out of proportion, and we have no arrows on hand. Even the arrows that the logistics provided through fate have been used up."
Chabon nodded, not too surprised.
It can be said that this arrow formation was of great help. It not only harvested countless lives, but also easily defeated the enemy's already weak confidence.
Otherwise, even with such a small number of people, they wouldn't be able to get in so easily.
But a huge price was paid during this period.
More than 20,000 people set out, but now there are less than 5,000 fighting men left, and most of them are so tired that they can't even pick up their spears. They follow him and kill by will.
It can be said that what they now rely on to kill people is not weapons, but shouting and intimidation.
Perhaps as long as the Xiliang people pluck up the courage to counterattack, they might be able to kill them all in one fell swoop.
Xia Bang read the news about Huo Ling and sighed with regret.
There are not enough manpower.
He visually checked his position, ran a few dozen feet south, raised his spear and pointed eastward.
"Use me as the starting point, immediately build a defense line along this line, and at the same time collect the arrows scattered around. Later we will send some to Angel's bastards."
The news spread quickly.
The soldiers were in an uproar.
Although everyone is unhappy, they also know that they don't have many brothers anymore and there is absolutely no way to eat all the enemies in front of them.
If we drag it on any longer, we may be defeated by the enemy, so we have to endure it silently.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry." The few Qianchang and Baichang ran back and forth.
"The enemy wants to escape, and we don't have much time. Brothers, work harder, the better the defense line is built, and the more arrows are collected, the more Xiliang people we can kill and avenge the dead people and brothers!
"
"knew."
"clear!"
When the soldiers covered in blood heard this, they all devoured what was handed to them from behind.
They either ignored the thorny wooden frames and piled all the surrounding obstacles into the designated positions, or they ran around collecting arrows scattered on the ground.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, a rough defense line had just been formed.
Wow.
There were chaotic sounds of horse hooves and footsteps ahead, making the ground tremble faintly.
Gudong!
In order to forcefully swallow the food in his mouth, Chabon gasped and took a bow.
"Attention everyone, the enemy is coming soon. Kill the enemies within range. If you kill one, we will earn one."
With so many horseshoes and footsteps, you can tell it is the main force.
Sure enough, after a while, a dense crowd of people appeared in front holding the flag of the Angel tribe.
As soon as they saw Chabonwei's movements, even though there were many more people, they had no intention of rushing forward and instead slowed down.
The news spread quickly.
"Deputy chief, Xia Bang in front hastily formed an interception. The other party doesn't seem to have many manpower."
They have been losing battle for the past two days, and the spies have become less confident.
He couldn't help but add another sentence.
"But it was too dark, time was tight, and brothers have been under continuous attack, so I could only take a quick turn. I'm not sure if there are other enemies lurking in the darkness ahead."
Kang Ansheng couldn't help but look towards Elder Dong, "Dorji, what do you think?"
Elder Dong pondered for a while, "It should be a trick of the Yanhui Legion."
"Their offensive was so powerful in the evening. It was easy to raise the defense lines of small and medium-sized tribes. It is even worse than the Yingling Army in the south."
"Indeed." Kang Ansheng nodded.
Elder Dong smiled confidently, "However, the Yanhui Legion and Xia Bangwei fought all the way from the Yangguan Ancient Road, and they are probably exhausted now."
"Now they have lowered their command flag and asked Chabon to build a shaky defense line for the county lieutenant. They probably want us to feel at ease and underestimate the enemy. It is best to lure us to attack them."
"In this way, they bought time. They dragged us here as long as possible, so that they could wait for other people to come and make dumplings for us."
"It makes sense." Kang Ansheng greatly agreed. "It's true and false, true and false. Yun Chuiren has always been so despicable and shameless."
"Then we ignore them?"
"Yes." Elder Dong nodded, "Ignore them."
"Since they set up such a formation to drag us down. If we went to charge and kill, we might be able to get some kills, but we fell into their trap."
"Compared to bringing the brothers back to the grassland safely, this achievement outweighs the gain."
"Therefore, we just go our own way. Unless they stop us with our lives, we don't need to pay attention to them."
Kang Ansheng nodded repeatedly, "Give me the order. Let the brothers put up a shield wall and ignore the opponent's attacks. The sooner we pass, the better."
Otherwise, once enemies from other directions are killed, they will really be unable to leave.
The order was passed down quickly.
Angel's soldiers were very happy when they heard that they were about to withdraw. Now they were even more happy when they heard that they didn't have to fight anymore. They erected their shield walls early, ignoring Chabon's bows and arrows, and just kept moving forward.
rush.
When the Dingxi soldiers saw this scene, they were also stunned.
They fired jinglingly for a while, but to no avail.
"Sir, there are obviously more stupid Angels than us, but they are all reduced to nothing. What should we do?"
How did Xia Bang know what Elder Dong was thinking? He was puzzled.
"Projection!"
As soon as he said these two words, he shook his head again.
"Forget it, don't waste the arrows. Just tell us to go down and keep an eye on the Angels and don't let them sneak attack. The other brothers should take the time to rest."
Even if Angel is allowed to pass, there are still a large number of defeated troops from other tribes in the encirclement.
They are not afraid that no one will kill them, but they are afraid that they do not have enough manpower.
