Chapter 183 Eat the Enemy for One Minute, Be Me for Twenty Minutes

On the flat road, dozens of carriages were driving slowly on the road. On the carriages were sacks filled with grain.

Around the carriage were hundreds of Han army guards, all of whom were soldiers from the supply battalion in Zhou Shen's army, and they were responsible for escorting and transporting food and grass.

"I'm going to Kuiyuan Gorge ahead, right?"

"Yes, Marquis Jun, after passing the Kuiyuan Gorge, let's walk for another two days, then we can deliver the food to the army, and then we can rest for two days."

Marquis Wu Ce nodded, yawned involuntarily, and rode forward slowly with the grain transport team on a tall horse.

And he didn't notice at all that on the sand dunes a few miles away, a touch of yellow lying on the ground suddenly got up, and then ran down the hill to hold a war horse.

"drive!"

Hu Qi rode his horse and galloped wildly, and the horse galloped over the field. After galloping for about half an hour, the magnificent Kuiyuan Gorge appeared in front of him.

"General, general!"

Hu Qi jumped off his horse, ran into Han Sui's tent with an excited face, and knelt down on the ground.

Seeing his excited appearance, Han Sui probably guessed it, and said with a smile, "Is there any gain?"

"The general has a clever plan. A Han army grain transport team came up the road. There are nearly a hundred horse-drawn carriages. At least one or two thousand shi of grain and grass."

Han Sui smiled and stood up from the table.

"Follow me!"

In the Kuiyuan Gorge, three thousand horses roared out and galloped along the Chidao. Back then, Chidao was originally a highway built by Qin Shihuang in order to quickly transport troops to the north to resist the Huns. Now Han Sui leads three thousand horsemen to gallop on Chidao, which is naturally as fast as the wind.

The three thousand horsemen galloped for a while, and from a distance, they could only see a long procession in front of them, one after another, the carriages were connected end to end, and the costumes of the surrounding people and horses could be seen at a glance as Han army uniforms.

Han Sui drew his knife out of its sheath and pointed straight ahead.

"kill!"

Oh ho!

The three thousand horsemen cheered happily, and their war horses galloped recklessly on the galloping road. They all drew out the long and narrow sabers at their waists, shouted loudly, and slapped their horses and wielded their sabers.

Wu Ce, Marquis of the Han Army who escorted the food and grass, was shocked when he saw this, but he was quite experienced in the army, so he made a decisive decision.

"Put the grain carriage outside, everyone get off the horses and go inside, hurry up!"

If this is the battlefield in the Central Plains, the general escorts for food and grass may be civilian husbands. However, in the northwest where there are many war horses, some slow-footed horses are directly used to transport food and grass. The army attacked, but there was no panic.

Under the command of Marquis Wu Ce, more than two hundred Han soldiers hurriedly jumped off their horses, led the horses into the formation, and then piled up the carriages one by one, and gathered the grain carts into a simple formation. , will surround the few Han troops in the middle.

Three thousand Hu Qi roared past, Han Sui didn't expect that this small officer of the Han army had some brains, so the three thousand Hu Qi didn't hit him head-on, but suddenly split into two groups of soldiers and horses from the middle. Around and around.

"shooting!"

Hu Qi, whose legs were clamped tightly to the horse's belly, inserted the saber into the sheath casually, took out the horns on his back and rode a bow, and pointed the bow and arrow at the Han army in the chariot formation.

The more than two hundred Han troops were not to be outdone, and also took out their bows and bows, and aimed tit-for-tat at Hu Qi wandering outside the formation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of bowstrings came out one after another, and the distance between the two sides was so close that the arrows shot from the chariot formation were so powerful that dozens of Hu cavalry were shot off their horses immediately.

The Han army in the chariot formation relied on the protection of the carriages. Although Hu Qi had many arrows, most of them were blocked by the wooden boards on the carriages. With a single swipe, the sack on the cart was immediately cut, and the millet inside was immediately scattered.

Although the task of the Han army is to escort food and grass, who cares so much between life and death? One by one, the Han soldiers hurriedly crouched under the carriages, showing their heads and changing machines from time to time.

With the carriages as obstacles and barriers, Hu Qi and the Han army did not engage in hand-to-hand combat, but shot at each other. Arrows rained endlessly for a while, especially the large number of Hu Qi, who ran back and forth, shooting with bows, and chariots. Arrows rained everywhere in the place where there was no one in the formation. The fallen corpses of the Han soldiers were even more unlucky. A Han soldier was shot in the throat by an arrow, and his body just fell to the ground when the dense rain of arrows covered him, piercing him from head to toe with arrows.

After several rounds of shooting, although the Han army was protected by a chariot formation, the number of Hu cavalry far exceeded them. Therefore, as the dense arrow rain of Hu cavalry fell, nearly half of the Han army was killed and injured. There are fewer and fewer arrows, but more and more people are injured.

As the arrows shot by the Han army in the chariot formation became less and less, Han Sui finally stood on the spot with a whistling sound, and drew out his saber.

"Retract the bow and attack!"

The saber swung down heavily, piercing the air and signaling the attack.

Hearing Han Sui's order, nearly three thousand Hu cavalry hung their bows on their backs and drew their sabers out of their sheaths. Rows of Hu cavalry held rows of sabers in their hands.

kill!

The brave fighters in Hu Qi charged forward, and someone held a leather shield to shield them from the bow and arrow, and then moved the carriage aside forcefully, opening a passage for the comrades behind them.

Seeing this, Marquis Wu Ce of the Han Army stood up from under the carriage with red eyes.

"Retract the bow and engage in battle!"

There were less than a hundred remaining Han soldiers, and they threw their bows and arrows on the ground one after another, picked up the spears on the side, and pulled out the ring-shoulders around their waists.

Three thousand Hu cavalry slapped horses and wielded knives and rushed into the chariot formation, and slammed into the remaining Han army of less than a hundred people. Some Han soldiers were knocked to the ground by the war horses, trampled by the horseshoes, and the tendons were broken and broken, and some Han soldiers were cut with a long and narrow wound by the saber in Hu Qi's hand, and fell to the ground.

But the rest of the Han army was really stubborn, no one begged for mercy, they all fought desperately, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and inserting ring-shoulders and spears into the enemy's body.

Marquis Wu Ce was drenched in blood, screaming and fighting with a spear in his hand. His palm was soaked in blood, and three Hu cavalry had already been killed on the tip of the spear. Although he is so brave, the crimson figures in his eyes are getting less and less.

"kill!"

A stout Hu Qi galloped forward on horseback, and the long and narrow saber in his hand slashed down in the air. A line of blood suddenly appeared between Wu Ce's neck. He only felt that his vision became more and more blurred, and his body became lighter and lighter.

boom!

The majestic body fell to the ground suddenly, and the corpses of the Han army and the dense rain of arrows were everywhere.

But Han Sui jumped off the horse, cut through the sack on the carriage with a knife, reached out and took out a handful of millet, squeezed it hard, and then burst out laughing.
