Lin Jue's face was solemn, he had considered the problem of not having a suitable blocking terrain, but he thought that there would definitely be something that could barely be used. However, the position on the left doesn't seem to be appropriate. Moreover, two hours have passed, and if reinforcements arrive to start the counteroffensive, I am afraid that the battle has already begun. Although it was five or six miles away, it was blocked by continuous sand dunes, and there was no sign of battle in sight. However, Lin Jue believed that the sudden retreat of Meng Xiang and the others before was not accidental, and something must have happened.

If there had been a fierce battle at the entrance to the western gallop and cavalry reinforcements had arrived, then Meng Xiang would definitely retreat. He did not dare to attack the city whether he won or lost. For he must have known that the cavalry had arrived, and the battalion of the forbidden army would also arrive. He couldn't afford to waste time attacking the city again, it would cost him the opportunity to retreat.

It will be late, and this will be the best chance for Meng Xiang and them to evacuate. Otherwise, once he gave the order to evacuate, he would be chased and killed by cavalry, and he would not want to do this. So I desperately held out until dark and then evacuated. And the reinforcements of officers and soldiers will not arrive for a while, so the danger is not great.

Therefore, there is not much time left for his own arrangement, and as soon as it gets dark, it is estimated that a large number of bandits will withdraw from Bolangsha and return to the city to rest. This is not the situation that Lin Jue wants to see. Lin Jue wanted to trap all of them here, and at the same time, he also wanted the officers and soldiers of Yangwu City to understand their intentions and cover up and kill them overnight, so that the bandits would not have a chance to take a break and recuperate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, time is running out, we need to hurry down to the gallop, build fortifications, and block the crossing. I guess that as soon as it gets dark, the bandits will withdraw. At that time, a large number of bandits will be evacuated from here, and we must hurry up and take action. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"But Lord Lin, the terrain here is not conducive to defending against enemies. Can we stop them with just a few men? The cavalry asked.

"That's why we have to get ready, and after a while down the gallop, we'll split into ten teams and go to the woods on both sides to cut down trees and transport them up the gallop. I know you're all tired, but we still have to work hard, and we can't rest. Lin Jue said.

"Cutting down trees?" Everyone was a little puzzled, and some people were a little quicker, frowning and saying, "Could it be that Lord Fei wants to use trees to build a wooden wall, build wood to resist horses or something to defend the fortifications?" It's a starting point, but I'm afraid I can't resist the impact of the other party. The bandits were outnumbered, and Chong also broke up the fortifications. Besides, we don't have enough time to do these things. ”

Lin Jue smiled mysteriously and said: "I have my own plans, you will know in a while, and don't waste time explaining, just do what I ask." Let's go. ”

Lin Jue took the lead and descended the sand dunes from the side slope and climbed up the gallop road. The soldiers didn't have any other thoughts at this time, so they could only act according to Lin Jue's orders. Although he was full of doubts and worries, he could only sit still for the time being.

More than a hundred soldiers, divided into ten squads, began to scatter the woodland on both sides of the road to cut down trees. More than 100 people did things, but the efficiency was not low, and soon bundles of miscellaneous trees were dragged up the road and piled up. But the more they fell, the greater the doubts in the hearts of the people. Lord Lin ordered, whether it was thick or thin trees or vines and thorns, they could be cut down and transported up. This is not at all like the idea of building fortifications. If you want to build a fortification, you must at least choose trees with the thickness of the bowl

party. But Lin Jue did not make such a request at all.

And Lord Lin didn't have the slightest intention of building anything, he himself took a dozen people to cut down trees and carry them back and forth, and he was very busy. The only request was for everyone to pile up trees and vines in his designated position, layer upon layer, like a hill.

Everyone really didn't understand what Lord Lin was thinking in his heart, could it be that he wanted to use trees to build a barrier wall? But it's piled up like a hill, how can you refuse to keep it? Aren't the bandits still easy to climb over?

Lin Jue didn't give them any explanation, he just kept urging everyone to cut down trees and transport them like machines to pile them up. Let the hill of miscellaneous trees, thorns and vines that lay across the road get higher and bigger, and block the whole road tightly. Theoretically, the upper and lower parts of the trail are filled with ponds and thorny stinger bushes, and if this hill of trees can really block the other party's crossing, it is indeed blocking the path. But as everyone feared, the hill of twigs and debris could easily be climbed over even if it was piled high. Therefore, this method of blocking the road is obviously futile.

……

Four miles away from the east gate of Yangwu City, at the west entrance of Bolang Shachi Road. Under the setting sun, a tug-of-war has been going on for more than an hour.

Since the beginning of the afternoon, Guo Kun's counterattack has been going on for more than an hour. Due to the limitations of the terrain, Guo Kun's cavalry did not have room to charge. Meng Xiang laid several thorns and a horse rejection array in the narrow area at the entrance of the galloping road, and ordered the bandits to dig a pit. I have to say that even in the case of low morale and collapse, Meng Xiang's decision was still correct. He knew that he must not let the opposing cavalry charge. Once they were on the gallop road, a gallop that allowed only a dozen horsemen in parallel would not do the superior side of the numbers any good. The opponent only needs to ride and rush, and they will rush to pieces, and rout is inevitable.

Meng Xiang didn't really want to engage the other side, but when he rushed to the entrance from the sand dune swamp, the other party had already begun to attack, and he couldn't order the withdrawal of troops in front of the officers and soldiers. Otherwise, the opposing cavalry would take advantage of the momentum to rush and kill, which Meng Xiang would never want to see. So his idea is to resist the opponent's attack and hold on until dark before retreating, so that the opponent will not dare to chase and kill easily. Although the other party's reinforcements have arrived, the large group has not yet arrived, so I am not worried that this half day will make it impossible for my side to get out.

Thanks to the terrain, the high slope of the gallop road was not conducive to the cavalry charging upward. Thorns and pits have been dug long ago, originally to block the entrance as a means of defense. Now it's fully working. Not long ago, Guo Kun organized a brutal charge, but left the lives of more than 40 cavalrymen at the gallop crossing, and had to be silenced. At this moment, the cavalry became a bystander, and the 1,500 miscellaneous troops and 500 forbidden army infantry led by Zhao Youji became the main force of the battle. Because they are not afraid of falling into pitfalls, they do not rely on speed to win.

Several attempts to storm the crossing were fruitless, and both sides suffered casualties. Guo Kun's anxiety has reached its peak. He was already muttering and cursing, and rode his horse anxiously to and fro behind him. evening

The sun is about to set, and those with a little common sense know that once it gets dark, the cavalry will become blind, and this place is not a place where you can fight at night, and you can no longer break through the crossing, so you can only choose to retreat to the city.

Ahead, a new round of infantry charges failed again, and dozens of young and strong civilians and soldiers died at the entrance of the gallop. Zhao Youji came to Guo Kunma with a flushed face, and shouted: "Du Yu Hou, the lower official has to ask Du Yu Hou to give an order." If you go on like this, don't want to break through the gallop. ”

Guo Kun said: "What order?" ”

Zhao Youji said: "The infantry of the forbidden army have armor and shields, and they must be used as a barrier for the regimental training and the soldiers and horses composed of the people in our city. They are back and we will never be able to attack them. Moreover, the humble duty also figured out that it was impossible to attack by relying on the infantry, and the cavalry had to cooperate with the attack. ”

Guo Kun frowned and said: "There are thorns everywhere to prevent horses from trapping, and the cavalry can't rush through them at all. ”

Zhao Youji said: "So what the lower official means is to ask the forbidden infantry to approach with the shield, and my people will clear the thorns and horses at the entrance of the gallop." Stuff traps. Remove obstacles for cavalry. This is the right way to fight. Once the obstacle is removed, the cavalry of Du Yuhou can charge up. ”

Guo Kun pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, you have to cooperate with the three armies." Come, give the order, and attack according to the advice of Zhao County's order. ”

Zhao Youji regrouped and gathered more than a thousand miscellaneous troops together to prepare in formation. The five hundred forbidden infantry defending the city had not been at the forefront before, and now they were ordered to raise their shields and advance into the mouth. When the Janissary infantry came under heavy attack, the ragtags in the rear quickly began to move away from the horses, tear through the thorns, and fill in the traps. The forbidden infantry in front suffered a lot of casualties, and when he learned of the other party's intentions, Meng Xiang ordered the bandits on the road to rush out to stop them. But they were desperately entangled by the five hundred forbidden troops, and the two sides were strangled together on the thorny sand at the entrance.

As time went on, the bandits rushed in more and more of them, and it seemed that they had gained the upper hand. The 500 Forbidden Army infantry had already suffered half of the casualties and was forced to retreat. But at this time, Zhao Youji's motley army completed their mission, they successfully cleared a passage and sent a signal to the cavalry in the rear.

Guo Kun had been waiting for this moment for a long time, raised the golden spear in his hand, and shouted: "Rush to Lao Tzu!" ”

In the next moment, the cavalry of the forbidden army, which had been waiting for a long time, raised their whips, and hundreds of horsemen rushed away in a long and narrow formation, and the distance of two hundred paces was instantaneous, rushing through the chaotic sand and rushing up the slope of the entrance of the gallop.

"Shoot the arrows and stop them." Meng Xiangwu was about to make a dying struggle, and ordered loudly.

The rain of arrows swished, seven or eight horsemen fell off their horses, and the men and horses rolled on the slope, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Shoot!" The cavalry of the forbidden army roared in unison, crossbows in their hands. The bow fired a volley, knocking down a group of bandits behind the fortifications above the slope. In the blink of an eye, the seven or eight horsemen had already rushed up the slope and slammed into the makeshift wooden fence fortifications. The force of the impact caused the pieces of the wooden railings to break. Several cavalrymen fell from their horses and flew into the crowd of bandits, and were instantly hacked to death with swords. But they succeeded in clearing the last barrier for the cavalry behind. The cavalry then rushed into the crowd with their iron hooves, and the frenzied slaughter began.
