Chapter 407 Insufficient manpower

Wow--

Running and killing, Xia Bang retched for a sudden bending over.

"My lord," the guards rushed over to protect the left and right, "have a drink of water."

This kind of situation is not uncommon in the entire Dingxi garrison, most of which are caused by excessive fatigue and long-term lack of food.

Report!
A soldier rushed over from behind.

"My lord, news from General Huo."

"Read!" Xia Bang poured water for him, and stuffed another piece of jerky into his mouth.

"Angel has jumped the wall in a hurry and is about to break out. General Huo ordered us to get out of the way."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Xia Bang was in a great mood and was about to laugh out loud.

However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Although they were already exhausted, most of the Xiliang people they met along the way were frightened.

If it weren't for the other party's laying down layer after layer of blocking horses, thorns and wooden fences in advance.Xia Bangwei always thought that his group of tired soldiers could fight until they reached the south gate of the whetstone and joined Huo Yun's troops.

Now there are soldiers of Yunchui in all directions, there is almost only one intersection for Angel to break through, and that is the northeast direction where they are.

Xia Bangwei looked back, "How many brothers do we have who can fight?"

There was a silence all around, and it took a long time for a guard to say, "Return to your lord, it's less than five thousand."

"What about the arrow array?"

"The number of archers is already out of scale, and we have no more arrows in our hands. Even the arrows brought by the logistics have been used up."

Xia Bangwei nodded, not too surprised.

It can be said that the arrow array helped a lot this time.It not only harvested countless lives, but also easily defeated the enemy's unsteady confidence.

Otherwise, with their small number of people, they wouldn't be able to enter so easily.

But it also paid a huge price.

More than [-] people set off, and now there are only less than [-] combat power left, and most of them are too tired to even pick up their spears, and they follow him and fight forward with their will.

It can be said that what they kill now is not based on weapons, but on shouting and intimidation.

Perhaps as long as the Xiliang people had the courage to counterattack, they might be able to kill them all in one fell swoop.

Xia Bang took a look at Huo Ling's news and sighed regretfully.

Not enough manpower.

He visually estimated his position, ran several tens of feet to the south, raised his spear and pointed east.

"Using me as the starting point, build a line of defense immediately along this line, and at the same time collect the arrows scattered around. We will send Angel and those bastards off later."

The news spread quickly.

The soldiers were in an uproar.

Although everyone is unhappy, they also know that their brothers are running out, and there is absolutely no way to eat all the enemies in front of them.

If it drags on, it may be dragged down by the enemy, so I have to endure it silently.

"Quick, quick." 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 we collect, the more Xiliang people we can kill as much as possible, and avenge the dead people and brothers! "

"understood."

"understand!"

Hearing this, the blood-stained soldiers all devoured what was passed up from behind.

Either they didn't care about the thorny wooden frame, and desperately piled up the surrounding obstacles to the designated position, or rushed around to collect the scattered arrows on the ground.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, a rough line of defense had just been formed.

Crash.

There were chaotic horseshoes and footsteps ahead, and the ground was trembling faintly.

Gudong!

In order to forcefully swallow what was in his mouth, Xia Bang took a bow in a huff.

"Attention everyone, the enemy is coming soon. Kill the enemies within the range, and we will earn one if we kill one."

With so many horseshoes and footsteps, you can tell it's the main force as soon as you hear it.

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 Xia Bangwei's movements, although there were many more people, they didn't intend to rush forward, but slowed down.

The news came back quickly.

"Deputy patriarch, Xia Bang in front hastily formed an interception. It seems that the other side doesn't have too many people."

These two days have been losing battles, and the spies have become less confident.

He couldn't help but add another sentence.

"But it's too dark, time is tight and brothers have been under constant attack, so we can only make a quick turn around. I'm not sure if there are other enemies lurking in the dark night ahead."

Kang Ansheng couldn't help looking at Elder Dong, "Duoji, what do you think?"

Elder Dong pondered for a while, "It should be a trick of the Yanhui Legion."

"Their offensive was so fierce in the evening, and it was so easy to break through the defense lines of the small and medium-sized tribes. It was even worse than the Yingling Legion 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 after all, and it is estimated that they are now exhausted."

"Now they put down their command flags and let Xia Bang set up a shaky line of defense for the county lieutenant. It is estimated that they want us to feel at ease and underestimate the enemy. It is best to lure us to attack them."

"In this way, they can buy time. Try to drag us here, so that other people can rush to make dumplings for us."

"It makes sense." Kang Ansheng greatly agreed, "What is not true is not true, what is true is not true. Yunchui people have always been so despicable and shameless."

"Then we ignore them?"

"Yes." Elder Dong nodded, "Don't bother with them."

"Since they put up such a formation to drag us down. If we go to charge, we may be able to harvest some heads, but we will be fooled by them."

"Compared with bringing the brothers back to the grassland safely, this record is not worth the loss."

"So, let's just go our way. Don't bother unless they stand in front of us with their lives."

Kang Ansheng nodded again and again, "Let's pass the order. Tell the brothers to set up a shield wall and ignore the opponent's attack at all. The sooner you pass, the better."

Otherwise, once the enemies from other directions are killed, they will really be unable to leave.

The order passed quickly.

Angel's soldiers were very happy when they heard that they were going to withdraw, and they were even more happy when they heard that there was no need to fight anymore. They erected shield walls early one by one, ignoring Xia Bang's bow and arrow over there, and just kept going forward. rush.

The soldiers in Dingxi were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

They rattled and shot for a while, but to no avail.

"My lord, there are more Angels out there than us, but each of them has become a shrinking turtle. What should we do?"

How could Xia Bang know what Elder Dong was thinking, and he was completely puzzled.

"Throw!"

Just after saying two words, he shook his head again.

"Forget it, don't waste arrows. Just order the Angels to keep an eye on them, and don't let them sneak attack. Other brothers hurry up and rest."

Even if Angel is let go, there are still a large number of defeated soldiers from other tribes in the encirclement.

They are not afraid that no one will kill them, but they are afraid that they will not have enough manpower.
