When Guo Wei and the others realized that the tribal fighters of the barbarians were trying to gather and surround them, they also felt a strong sense of crisis.
They didn't dare to stay in the slightest, and were preparing to leave this area as quickly as possible and return to the territory of the Far Eastern Empire.
However, the barbarian tribal fighters have gathered around Guo Wei and their returning troops.
Seeing that Guo Wei and the others accelerated their march towards the territory of the Far East Empire, these barbarians who followed around looking for opportunities no longer hid their tracks.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, there are barbarians across the river!"
When Guo Wei and the others were about to cross a shallow river with melted glaciers, the commander of the First Banner Battalion, who was the pioneer, reported the enemy's situation.
Guo Wei and the others passed through the canyon, a river appeared in front of their eyes, and a lot of barbarians had gathered on the opposite side to stare at them.
The number of these barbarians is not large, only two or three hundred people, but they are all burly and fierce, and they are all sturdy fighters.
"Do you want to rush over?"
Gu Xingteng, head of the Seventh Banner of Public Security, pulled out the saber with gaps in his waist, and asked Guo Wei, deputy head of the army, for instructions.
The flow of the river is gentle and the water is relatively shallow. If they attack in one go, it will not be difficult to defeat the opponent with their strength.
After all, they have fought the barbarians many times. The barbarians are not lacking in blood and courage, but their crude equipment and lack of battle formation are their biggest weaknesses.
There are still more than 1,500 soldiers in the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security who can fight. If they attack with all their strength, they may not be able to tear a bloody path.
But now they are not only detaining a large number of captives, but also driving a large amount of cattle and sheep seized by the Black Bear tribe, especially those wounded and sick are carried by captives. Once a large-scale battle occurs, these things will not be taken care of up.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, we found a large number of barbarians behind us, thousands of them!"
Just as Guo Wei and Gu Xingteng were considering whether to cross the river to fight, the person who was responsible for the containment task also trotted up from behind in a hurry.
Hearing that thousands of savages surrounded him behind him, Guo Wei cursed inwardly, then looked around, his brain spinning rapidly.
"It is estimated that there are still many barbarians around who have not shown up. Unless we abandon the cattle, sheep, captives and wounded, it will be absolutely difficult to escape safely!" Guo Wei said.
Their current food along the way is the driven cattle and sheep. If they give up these food, it will be difficult to return to the empire.
"Seize the high ground over there and stand by for help!"
Guo Wei pointed to the place near the upper reaches of the river, which was a slightly higher place with sparse trees.
"Quick, move over there!"
After Gu Xingteng responded, he also gave the order loudly.
But when the brothers of the Qinghe Army hurriedly prepared to seize the high ground and stood by for help.
The captives who were quite obedient along the way also suddenly clamored. Someone tried to seize the weapons of the soldiers of the Qinghe Army, and someone grabbed a stone and threw it at the wounded and sick on the stretcher. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
The savages on the other side of the river also roared like beasts, waving their weapons and rushing towards them.
In the canyon behind them, the shouts of barbarians also sounded, and Guo Wei and the others fell into a situation where they were attacked from both sides.
"The rebels will be killed without mercy!"
When Guo Wei saw those barbarian captives clamoring for action, he also roared fiercely.
The brothers of the Qinghe Army did not stay behind these barbarians who were quite obedient along the way. The sharp blades whizzed past, and the blood of a barbarian who suddenly grabbed his weapon was splashed on the spot.
After the brothers of the Qinghe Army beheaded more than two hundred barbarians, they suppressed the rest of the barbarian captives.
Under Guo Wei's command, the crowd drove the cattle and sheep, detained the captives, and quickly moved to the highland upstream of the river.
The barbarians on the other side of the river and the barbarian warriors behind them also rushed forward, forcing Guo Wei and the others to give up some of their cattle and sheep to slow down the pursuit of the barbarians.
A large number of cattle and sheep gathered on the river beach to block the barbarian warriors, and Guo Wei and the others were able to safely retreat to the higher ground.
Soon, dense crowds of barbarians drilled out of the canyon and appeared on the river beach under the highland.
"Our army has arrived??, let us go quickly, otherwise, you will die! "
Seeing the barbarian warriors covering the river beach, the barbarian great chief Tatar also changed his previous groveling and yelled loudly.
After hearing the translation from the barbarian guide, Gu Xingteng, the leader of the banner, was also full of anger for no reason. He raised his hand and slapped the clamoring chief Tatar twice.
"I warn you to be honest, if you offend me, I will kill you first!" Gu Xingteng said murderously.
The barbarian chief thought that the barbarian fighters surrounded the Qinghe army and would scare them into surrendering.
But after hearing Gu Xingteng's words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his neck, and he became a lot more honest.
Soon, the barbarians also sent a loud barbarian soldier to the high ground, and shouted at Guo Wei and the others.
"What is he shouting?" Guo Wei asked the barbarian's guide.
"He said let us release the chief, and then put down our weapons and surrender." The guide interpreter said.
"It's just nonsense! My Qinghe army only has soldiers who died in battle, and no generals who surrendered!"
Guo Wei looked back at the soldiers of the Qinghe Army with firm eyes, and began the pre-war mobilization.
"Brothers, we are only half a month away from the western provinces, and the brothers who reported the victory have already brought back the news. Maybe the troops to meet us are nearby. As long as we stand firm and wait for help, victory will definitely belong to us! Guo Wei said confidently, waving his arms.
Seeing the barbarian soldiers densely packed in the distance, the brothers of the Qinghe Army still felt a little uncertain.
However, what Guo Wei said undoubtedly instilled confidence in the brothers of the Qinghe Army and boosted their morale.
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
More than a thousand brothers from the Qinghe Army also drew their sabers one after another, roaring straight into the sky.
The barbarians gathered on the river beach saw that the Qinghe army had no intention of surrendering, but drew their swords out of their sheaths, and they also clamored.
"Take back the Great Chief!"
Under the order of a barbarian chief, the disheveled barbarian warrior roared like a beast, and swarmed towards Guo Wei and the others.
"Set up our military flag for me!"
Guo Wei licked his dry lips, turned his head and said loudly.
The broken military flag of the Qinghe Army's Public Security Seventh Banner Regiment was erected, and the battle flag fluttered in the wind as the cold wind from the river valley blew.
"Ready to fight!"
"Archers step forward!"
The barbarians came rushing in like waves. Guo Wei, the deputy army commander, had cold eyes and no trace of fear on his face. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
