Chapter 90 Burning the camp, condescending
The flames burned and illuminated half of the sky. Chen Yaotian led his troops to retreat fifty steps away, carefully feeling the heat wave coming from them, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
Previously, Dian Wei sent someone to report that a granary was found in the northwest of the camp. There were mountains of grain in it, which could feed 60,000 soldiers for a month. Chen Yaotian originally wanted to transport the grain and grass away, but after a second thought, he gave up.
.After all, burning other people's camps would be so huge that Shi Huai would discover it as soon as possible and withdraw his troops to come back for reinforcements. Then he would not be able to get food, but he would be held back, which would be of no benefit to him at all.
"Haha... Brothers, the enemy's food and grass have been burned by us. In less than three days, the troops will be withdrawn. At that time, we will no longer need to stay in the camp to defend. Instead, we will change our status and become wolves on the grassland, starting to hunt Xianbei.
"Chen Yaotian raised his weapon excitedly. People are like iron, and rice is like steel. Xianbei's food and grass were burned like this, and he could only starve and retreat despite all his plots and tricks.
"Wow... oh..." Shanggu's soldiers screamed excitedly. These days, Xianbei provokes from time to time, and they have long been full of anger.
"Alright, don't get too excited. It won't be long before Xianbei retreats. Let's retreat for now!" Chen Yaotian pressed down his hands to stop the excited crowd. Then he turned his horse's head and led his troops to leave.
…
Fifty miles away, Shi Huai was organizing his soldiers to attack. He divided his 20,000 troops into two groups, one group attacked directly to the gate of the village. The other group surrounded the surrounding area and used bows and arrows to cover the attacking troops.
"Kill!!!" Ten thousand Xianbei soldiers raised their scimitars high, whipped their horses hard, and rushed towards the village gate.
"Brothers, pull out your throwing spears, divide them into five teams, and throw them at me in order." Zhang He led five thousand Shanggu soldiers on horseback and stood outside the village gate. Watching the Xianbei soldiers rushing in, he shouted
One sound.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The first batch of thousands of throwing spears were thrown out with the help of momentum, making a harsh sound of friction in the air. The Xianbei in the front row collided head-on, and after a sudden attack, all of them fell off their horses.
Xianbei, who was responsible for covering, saw that his own attack was blocked, so he picked up his bows and arrows and threw them into the air.
"Whoosh whoosh..." Ten thousand arrows flew out, but most of them landed on the slope, still more than ten steps away from the Shanggu soldiers.
"Haha... the enemy's bows and arrows can't hit us." Zhang He looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and drew out a throwing spear again.
"The second batch, follow me!!!" Thousands of throwing spears flew out again, causing at least 500 Xianbei people to fall from their horses.
"Kill..." Although the Xianbei soldiers suffered heavy casualties, they were not timid. Their horses beat wildly, their eyes flashed fiercely, and they turned a blind eye to the flying spears. This is the direct force in the hands of Shi Huai, who used to dominate the grassland.
He has put in a lot of hard work and is more fierce than other Xianbei people.
Maybe you will ask, why is the spear that is larger in size and can be thrown into the Xianbei formation with the help of the momentum of the horses, while the bow and arrow is smaller in size and is fired with a bow string, but it falls more than ten steps away from the Shanggu soldiers. First of all, the Shanggu soldiers are above, Xianbei
The soldiers were at the bottom, and the upward and downward movements offset the range of the bows and arrows. Secondly, the soldiers in the Shanggu hit Xianbei who was attacking on the slope. The Xianbei who fired the bows and arrows to cover was below the slope, and the distance was different. This created the Shanggu
