Princess Fuyao

Chapter 101 Defense
"It's too arrogant. Anyone dares to teach me a lesson. Master Wu should really restrain his subordinates." Yinhu answered without being humble.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Wu Shangdong smiled and bowed to Yinhu.

Zhang Qiaozhi had something on his mind, so he didn't pay attention to these people at all, and rushed to Fuyao: "Wei Wei, there is something strange in the valley over there. The folks in front saw someone peeping at the mouth of the valley."

"Send someone to closely monitor!" Fuyao ordered.

Hearing this, Wu Shangdong smiled disdainfully: "Cut! Master Ji is eager to make contributions, right? Where did the Tartars come from in the valley? They fell from the sky? Hahaha, do you know why Liushuiya doesn't even have a post? There's no way to get through there."

"Master Wu, if you are energetic, why don't you find a way to repair and repair those weapons in the library. I have written a booklet to see how your armaments are weakened. How are you going to deal with the imperial court's interrogation?" Fuyao really hates Wu Shangdong, so he doesn't save any face give him.

Wu Shangdong's face suddenly turned pale: "It's just you? You still want to overthrow me, in the capital..." After that, he forcibly held back, "Huh!"

Seeing that he couldn't take advantage, Wu Shangdong had no choice but to turn around and walk back.

The military situation was urgent, Fuyao didn't even look at Wu Shangdong, she didn't even bother wasting time with such a boring villain.

"Fuyao, if the Tartars rush out of the valley, you can arrange archers here." Guo Bin observed the terrain here and suggested to Fuyao, but when he thought about Fuyao's soldiers, he changed his words, "I Go and call people to arm the defense."

An hour later, just as Guo Bin's men were in position, there was a sudden sound of a cannon from the other side of the valley, and a black crowd rushed out from inside, howling and rushing towards this side.

The Tartars saw that a horse pit was being dug here, and fearing that they would be unable to move an inch when the work was completed, they hastily launched a battle.

"Quick retreat!" As soon as Fuyao spoke, the soldiers around him rang the gong.In order to prevent the Tatars from attacking suddenly, the peasants were divided into teams at the beginning, led by sergeants. Although some people's legs were trembling with fright, most of them retreated quickly.The archers trained by Fuyao shot arrows from both wings to cover the Tartars.

"Don't be afraid! There is a horse pit in front of you. The Tartars' horses can't run fast. If you follow my orders, you will definitely win!" Many recruits who were pale with fright and were about to run away, stopped shyly when they saw a woman in Fuyao like this. feet.

"Brothers, if you do unrighteous deeds, you will be killed! Dayong will win! The time has come for us to seal our wives and sons and honor our families." The mobilization before Fuyao was very effective, and the panic on the faces of many soldiers disappeared.

"Brothers, listen to my orders, the number one archer is in position! The number two archer takes cover."

Immediately, a row of rattan shields stood up, and the archers hid nervously behind them, only revealing bright eyes and sharp arrows.

The Tartars rushed to the front of the horse trap and stopped. Although it only took half a day, the sand and rocks accumulated in front of the mountain made it very difficult to dig, and the horse trap was only one foot deep. Make it impossible for them to run wild.

Seeing the Tartars dismount one after another, holding their shields in one hand and leading the horses forward with the other, Fuyao cheered up: "Brothers, shoot arrows at the Tartars!"

Guo Bin's men and horses automatically followed Fuyao's command. Thousands of arrows shot out in unison, like locusts overwhelming the sky, and the horses on the Tartar side suddenly neighed, and more than a dozen injured horses jumped up. , Disturbed the opponent's lineup, most of the people here have never fought a battle, and they couldn't help cheering when they saw it from a distance.

"Archer No. [-] is worthy of praise. Archer No. [-] is in position, pay attention to aiming, and see who can hit it with one arrow. Prepare——, release!"

The second round didn't hit as many targets as the first round, but luckily one of the Tartars was shot dead, and more horses ran wildly. The other party probably saw that this was not the way to go. The gong suddenly sounded, and the Tartars receded like a tide. went back.

The battlefield temporarily calmed down, Fuyao's military tent was quickly set up, and an urgent military report from eight hundred miles was sent out quickly. At the same time, a distress letter to Marshal Guo was also dispatched.

Seeing Fuyao and Guo Bin put their heads together, Yinhu felt sore and squeezed over as they studied how to defend against the enemy.

"Liang Guohou, you bring some soldiers and horses to guard the city gate. We can't last long here, and we need manpower over there now." Guo Bin suggested to Yinhu.

"No, Lord Ji is taking risks here, but I'm going to watch from the sidelines? If you want to guard the city gate, she will go too!"

"Don't argue, the Tartars are coming again!"

After less than a meal, the Tartars came out again. This time, they didn't ride horses. They all held up their shields and hid behind them. .

"Damn it!" Guo Bin was so angry that he punched the desk made of wooden boxes.

Fu Yao frowned and looked over there.The Tartars use leather shields, which cannot be pierced by bows and arrows. "If we don't fall into a horse pit, we can still use the fire bull formation." Yinhu said regretfully.

"Fire? Oh, that's right. Bows and arrows can't pierce shields, so use oiled cotton wool to attack with fire."

Fuyao sent the order down, and immediately someone rode back to the city to fetch cotton wool and cooking oil. In less than an hour, half of the horse traps had been filled by the Tartars. , the Tartars had to retreat to clean up the ground. On the ground, smoke and dust billowed, and the stench of burnt leather scattered with the wind, making people very uncomfortable.

Liang Xiao sent someone to bring steamed buns and porridge, and the soldiers quickly filled their stomachs while the battle was vacant.

Tartar came out again.

"Get ready to ignite and shoot arrows!" Fuyao ordered.

But this time, the flaming arrow flew over and was quickly extinguished.

"Wei Wei, there is something covered on the opponent's shield, and it can't be touched at all."

Fuyao, Guo Bin, and Yinhu stood at the door of the big tent and looked over there. The rocket really didn't work.

"They covered the shield with grass and mud." Guo Bin said to Fuyao in a low voice.

"Tonight, if they finish filling the trap, tomorrow we will be completely unable to resist." Fuyao was also very anxious.A breeze blew past, and a strand of her hair was stuck to her face, Fuyao pressed her hands behind her ears: "In this weather, why is there suddenly a south wind?"

Not far away, there was a soldier with a bad temper, mumbling and cursing: "It's a pity that we neglected to train soldiers. I shot five arrows today and only hit one horse. I am so mad."

"Aim well tomorrow. Xiaoshan missed a single arrow, and the boss kicked him twice."

"If only an arrow could pierce a Tartar shield!"

Fortunately, the horse trap in front was within range of the soldiers on the flanks, and the Tartars made slow progress and finally survived until dark.

It was the first day of September, there was not even a moon at night, and the dark clouds covered the stars in the sky. The sky was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, which was not good for defense.
