The fire caused by the grenade explosion dissipated, and Shan Yu finally saw clearly.
In the snow in the west, figures covered in white cloth are rushing towards each other quickly.
"Dakang people are so cunning!"
Chanyu yelled and cursed angrily.
The grasslands are scarce in materials, and cloth is very valuable. No one has ever used white cloth to disguise themselves, and I never thought that anyone would do so.
Therefore, Tiehu Camp was not discovered until they reached outside the Dongman team.
Seeing Wei Sheng's soldiers heading straight for the carriage pulling grain and grass, Shan Yu immediately became anxious: "Quick, stop them!"
Their food and grass were burned once before by a hot air balloon, and they had to kill cattle and sheep to survive. Now this batch of food and grass was finally raised from the rear. If it was burned again, they didn't know how many people would starve to death along the way.
.
The Eastern Barbarian soldiers escorting the grain and grass all drew their swords and were ready for a fight to the death.
But the Weisheng Army had been ambushing here for so long in advance and had been preparing for so long. How could they easily stop them?
Whoosh!…
A series of kerosene jars flew out of the vast snow and hit the carriage carrying grain and grass accurately!
It was only then that the Eastern Barbarians discovered that there were people hiding in the snow behind them.
When the grain and grass encountered an open flame, a raging fire immediately broke out, and the cattle and horses pulling the cart were frightened by the fire and ran around in fear. Some grain and grass nearby that had not been hit by the oil jar were also ignited.
The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic. Some of the Eastern Barbarian soldiers who were escorting the grain and grass went to intercept Weisheng's army, while others tried to control the cattle and horses. They seemed to be in a hurry.
Oil jars continued to fly out of the snow, and more and more food and grass were set alight.
Shanyu found that there were not enough people to escort the grain and grass, so he quickly shouted to one of his subordinates: "Quick, you guys should go and help too!"
This subordinate is regarded as Shanyu's confidant. He leads the tribe and is responsible for Shanyu's safety.
In fact, when the Eastern Barbarians discovered that Tiehu camp was burning food and grass again, they were more anxious than Shanyu.
After all, the Chanyu has a high status. Even if all the food and grass are burned out, the Chanyu will not be short of food and drink at all. The real hungry ones are the soldiers and cannon fodder.
However, the responsibility of this tribe is to protect the Shan Yu and the higher-ups of the Eastern Barbarians. Without Shan Yu's order, they did not dare to put out the fire without authorization.
Now that Shan Yu had spoken, the tribal leader immediately rushed over with his men, preparing to kill the catapult hiding in the snow and smashing the oil altar.
The Weisheng Army came so far in advance and had no time to spare. They had already laid out a large number of horse traps around them.
When the cavalry rushed to a distance of more than 100 meters from the catapult, the first row of cavalry were hit one after another and stepped into the horse trap.
The horse pit dug by Wei Shengjun was about the size of a plate, but it was more than one meter deep.
The war horse was charging, and the horse's leg suddenly stepped in. Under the action of inertia, the horse's leg was easily broken, and even seriously, the horse's leg was broken.
The cavalrymen on horseback were no better. Those who didn't hold on tightly were thrown away, and those who held on tightly were even worse. Most of them were pressed under the horses.
The horse in front fell down, and the horse behind could only stop and try to go around from both sides.
But after only taking a few steps, they discovered that there were horse traps on both sides, and they couldn't avoid them at all.
They had no choice but to slow down their horses and move forward while keeping their eyes on the ground, trying to find the location of the horse pit.
But now it is a snowy day, and the horse trap is covered by snow. Even if they have lived on the grassland for generations, they will not be able to find any clues. The location of the horse trap can only be discovered when a horse's hoof steps on it.
For a moment, the cavalry team that was supposed to charge quickly became like the Japanese who were afraid of guessing the landmines when they entered the village. They moved forward cautiously and tentatively, and the scene became extremely strange.
They were careful, but Wei Shengjun was not idle, and directly hit them with a round of grenades.
When the Chanyu saw his soldiers acting like this, he was so angry that he sent someone to wave the flag and sent an infantry group from the rear to reinforce the cavalry.
After receiving the order, the captain of the guard immediately ordered the flag bearer to stand on top of the carriage with the flag and wave the flag to convey the order.
When he got off the carriage after delivering the order, the flagman's eyes accidentally glanced to the west, and then, as if he had seen a ghost, he pointed to the west and shouted with fear on his face: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The guard captain looked along his finger and saw a group of enemies covered in white cloth suddenly appeared more than two hundred meters away, heading straight for them.
And the number of this group of people is much larger than the number of people who attacked the grain and grass team!
The captain of the personal guard was also a veteran on the battlefield. He immediately understood that he had fallen into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. As he ran towards the carriage where Shan Yu was, he shouted: "Send the order to the back and let them protect the king!"
The tribe that originally protected Shan Yu went to put out the fire, but the guards around Shan Yu were too weak.
It must be said that the guard captain reacted very quickly, but the female workers were faster than him.
The flag bearer had just stood up and was about to wave the flag when a heavy crossbow arrow whizzed out and hit him in the chest.
The flag bearer flew directly from the carriage, and died without even moving after landing.
"Your Majesty, get on my horse and run away!"
The captain of the personal guard rushed to the carriage and gave up his horse to Shanyu.
Shanyu was not polite, jumped on the guard captain's horse, and kicked the horse's belly hard.
The war horse neighed and was about to run, but in the next second two more arrows flew towards it, one hitting the horse's head and the other hitting Shan Yu's arm.
Shanyu fell from his horse and his left arm fell to the side.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and turned sideways in time, he would have ended up like the flag bearer.
Before the captain of the guard could help Shanyu up, he heard a whistling sound coming from the west.
Looking up, I saw countless small black dots flying from the sky.
After fighting Yuguan City for so long, the guard captain immediately recognized that it was a grenade thrown by a catapult!
Without enough time to check Shanyu's injuries, the guard captain immediately dragged Shanyu to hide behind the carriage!
The next second, grenades fell around like raindrops!
Although the guard captain was not killed by the explosion, the sound of the explosion made his ears buzz, he could not hear anything, and his head became dizzy.
He lowered his head and glanced at Shan Yu who was holding him in his hand, and found that Shan Yu was still alive. The captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have time to talk to Shan Yu, so he stood up and looked around, looking for two horses to take Shan Yu away.
However, the war horses near them were either killed or injured by the explosion, or were frightened away and could not be found at all.
The only thing that reassured him was that he saw that the cavalry that had been guarding Shan Yu noticed something unusual here and turned around to return.
As long as this team comes back, Shanyu's safety will be guaranteed.
But will Weishengjun give them this opportunity?
of course not!
More than two hundred meters away, Chen Fengzhi jumped up from the snow, drew his black knife and roared: "Mr. Jin said, kill the Eastern Barbarian Chanyu, and each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Brothers, follow me and charge!"
