Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 18: Thousands of Hu people march across Pinggang, Liu Hong's critical moment
Liu Hong looked at the rain of arrows and unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.

If Fatty Lu was in front of him now, Liu Hong would definitely beat this guy to death.

Let him coat the arrows with kerosene and fire them.

What is this Fatty Lu doing!
Without the raging fire to block it, the archers could only fire five or six waves of arrows at most.

Once the rain of arrows is over, the sword and shield soldiers that Liu Hong has trained so hard will surely suffer heavy casualties.

"Gousheng, go tell Fatty Lu! I just want speed, take down Hutou Mountain as soon as possible."

Liu Hong suppressed the anger in his heart and said this almost in a growl.

Gousheng hesitated and looked at Liu Hong.

Now Liu Hong has only two hundred personal guards to protect him, in case the Hu people from the left tent really come.

Then Liu Hong is really in danger.

"Go! If Fatty Lu is still stingy and unwilling to use kerosene, you can replace him and take charge of the military power."

Liu Hong threw down his sword and stared towards the west.

For some reason, he always had a bad feeling.

That was why Liu Hong was so eager to capture Hutou Mountain and gain a foothold.

He even went so far as to strip Fatty Lu of his military power.

The earth trembled slightly, and the gravel on the ground kept dancing in cheerful steps.

Liu Hong frowned and smiled bitterly.

What you fear will come true.

Enzo, the leader of the Rice Cake Tribe, wears a wolf tooth necklace around his neck and exudes a fierce aura.

Eight hundred cavalrymen rushed over, raising a large amount of wind and sand, and looked quite unstoppable.

Enzo was the captain of the left tent, commanding more than 2,000 herdsmen and occupying the fertile pastures near Nanqing. He was also the youngest and most beloved son of Zuo Xian Wang.

In the entire left tent, Enzo was confident that he could be ranked in the top 20.

Therefore, he has always been extremely dissatisfied with Zuo Zhangdan's move to surrender to Nanqing.

Zuozhang was a nomadic country with 50,000 cavalrymen, but the Chanyu of Zuozhang used the most flattering words towards Emperor Nanqing and even respected Emperor Qing as his father.

This is simply a disgrace.

Enzo was in his prime and full of ambition, so of course he could not tolerate such humiliation.

Therefore, he secretly cultivated the Hutoushan bandits, robbed Nanqing's food and grass, and abducted the people of Nanqing as slaves.

Now something seems to have happened in Hutou Mountain, which is a slap in his face.

But it doesn’t matter, this kind of situation has happened before.

On the plain, the cavalry charged several times and the Nanqing generals became obedient.

"Brother, what should we do? There seem to be thousands of these barbarians."

Ergouzi's voice was trembling, and if he hadn't been standing next to Liu Hong, he would have almost wanted to run away.

What a joke! Thousands of cavalry, and they only have two hundred guards in the west.

Liu Hong snorted coldly.

"What are you afraid of? Arrange the food and baggage carts to stop the barbarians. I have set up chevaux de frise."

Liu Hong tightened his legs a little on the horse, leaped lightly, came in front of the guards, and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, stop them! Are you afraid of a group of poor people holding bone and bronze arrows?"

Hearing Liu Hong’s passionate words.

Everyone, with sweaty hands, felt a little more relaxed.

The commander-in-chief hasn't left yet, so how can these soldiers feel comfortable leaving?
In the feudal era, generals controlled almost half of the soldiers' morale.

Liu Hong mobilized thirty heavy crossbows and did not care about the distance at all. He just swung his sword and ordered the arrows to be released.

It doesn’t matter whether the Hu people can be killed or not.

The main thing is to slow down the speed of the horses so that the Hu leaders will feel fearful.

The heavy crossbows flew like locusts, making a buzzing sound as they penetrated a distance of three to four hundred meters.

More than a dozen Hu people had no time to dodge and were pinned to the ground along with their horses.

Before he could even utter a scream, he became a cold corpse.

Enzo whistled loudly and hurriedly summoned the tribal cavalry to slow down, but his eyes did not look anxious.

He knew that the Qing people were well-armed.

But with the team of 200 people in front of us, how many times can the heavy crossbow shoot?
Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Hu people had indeed slowed down.

This is the advantage of regular troops! The heavy crossbow is also called the crossbow cannon.

If the distance is one hundred meters, the nearly three-meter thick arrow is enough to kill more than ten people at once.

However, Liu Hong frowned slightly as he looked at the remaining heavy crossbow arrows.

The heavy crossbow only had a hundred or so arrows, and after firing a few rounds, they would basically have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Hu cavalry.

As for the archers, they are all under the command of Fatty Lu, and there is no time to deploy them to attack Hutou Mountain.

Of course, Liu Hong was not planning to recall the archers.

Everyone knows that the worst thing for an army is to be attacked from both sides.

Liu Hong is not Han Xin, who can inspire the army's determination to fight to the death.

If the bandits from Hutou Mountain attacked, they would have to face a charge from the Hu people.

His battalion of new recruits must be scattered like birds and beasts, running for their lives!
By then, let alone achieving great achievements and becoming a noble or a general, Liu Hong would even fail in suppressing bandits, and it would be good enough if he didn't get beheaded.

"Fatty, Huang Xuan, hurry up! I don't know how long I can hold on."

Liu Hong was anxious, but his expression remained normal.

Stop the operation of most heavy crossbows, leaving only ten heavy crossbows.

Liu Hong's main purpose was to delay time, not to wipe out the nearly one thousand Hu cavalrymen.

The movement on the west side stunned the generals who were attacking Hutou Mountain.

If they remembered correctly, Liu Hong was personally guarding the west side to defend against the Hu cavalry.

Are the Hu people really coming now?

"Turn around, turn around, everyone follow me, go save Big Brother!"

Fatty Lu stood on the ground for a long time, stunned, as if his buttocks were on fire. He immediately prepared to command the army to rescue Liu Hong.

In the fat man’s mind, it doesn’t matter whether Hutou Mountain can be captured or not.

The lives of these more than a thousand people are not as important as his elder brother Liu Hong.

Huang Xuan hesitated for a while, opened his mouth, but still said nothing.

After all, he was just a down-and-out scholar, but was appreciated by Liu Hong and promoted to deputy governor-general.

Many old pirate brothers are already dissatisfied, and if he says a few more words.

These pirates were probably going to eat Huang Xuan alive.

The sword flashed, and the cold light fell on Fatty Lu's neck.

Gou Sheng's eyes were bloodshot, he clenched his teeth and held the sword given to him by Liu Hong.

"This is Big Brother's sword, Fatty, you know it! Big Brother asked us to take down Hutou Mountain at all costs."

Fatty Lu widened his eyes and looked at Gousheng in disbelief, completely ignoring the sword at his neck and shouting angrily in a low voice.

"Gousheng, are you crazy? Big brother is in danger now!"

"I know! But we haven't taken Hutou Mountain yet. If we withdraw, not only will all our efforts be wasted, but we may even be wiped out."

Gousheng’s eyes became determined.

He suddenly understood why Liu Hong gave the sword to him.

As for his group of brothers, Liu Hong can be said to have figured out their thoughts thoroughly.

"All troops, listen to my command. Don't save on kerosene. Take down Hutou Mountain at all costs!"

Gou Sheng spoke loudly and looked at the generals almost pleadingly.

Whether it was Huang Xuan or the other pirate brothers, their eyes were all on Fatty Lu.

After all, Fatty Lu is Liu Hong's sworn brother and they have the best relationship. At this critical juncture, they only listen to Fatty Lu.

Fatty Lu yelled at everyone.

"What are you still standing there for? Go! Quickly capture Hutou Mountain. If big brother is in danger, we will all be dead."

The army once again attacked Hutoushan in an orderly manner, but this time there was a bit more madness.
