Chapter 1080: Fire Dance

As a general, Shen Leng has always been thinking about how to reduce the losses of his brothers, and the first blow that the war brought to Shen Leng was the sudden departure of the familiar people around him, starting with Li Tuming.

Later, he discovered that even if he tried his best to do many things, there were also things that were beyond the reach of man.

He can't let everyone around him avoid the death caused by the war, he can't do it, and the gods can't do it.

Therefore, before the start of every war, Shen Leng is trying his best to think about every possibility that will happen, every situation to face, thinking about himself, thinking about the enemy.

The catapult tactics of the Anxi people are very powerful, and their soldiers are not weaker than the Ning army, except for the black warriors, the Anxi people are the strongest opponents encountered by the Daning soldiers.

In fact, if it weren't for the early contact with the Sabbatarians in southern Xinjiang, maybe the Ning army would not have taken advantage of the Sabbatarians for the first time, the Sabbatarians' fighting style was rough and simple but extremely lethal, in fact, if it was not Shen Leng who came into contact with the Sabbatarians in advance but another Daning general, he would not necessarily care about the rock-throwing carts and fighting methods of the Sarks.

Shen Leng said that he had been preparing for several years in order to fight this battle with the resting people.

If people have obsessions, things can be done.

Shen Leng thought that the rest people would definitely take the initiative to attack before the wind came, and the biggest reliance of the rest people was still their stone throwing vehicle, if they wanted to deal a fatal blow to the Ning army, they had to destroy the Ning army camp, so Shen Leng did not plan to give the rest of the people's stone throwing car a chance to enter the range of the Ning army camp.

The width of the trench group outside the camp is calculated, which is just narrower than the range of the catapult, so that the position of the catapult behind the trench group of the Ning army can form an effective blocking and protection for the soldiers of the Ning army in the trench, and the enemy's infantry must not only face the bow and crossbow of the Ning army if they want to rush over, but the most important thing is the blockade line formed by the Ning army's stone throwing vehicle.

In this case, if the resting people use the stone-throwing cart to counterattack, then the maximum landing point of the big stone cannot touch the position of the Ning's stone-throwing vehicle, and it will not be able to deal a great fatal blow to the Ning's soldiers, which makes the rock-throwing vehicle tactics of the resting people extremely uncomfortable and completely unable to be used.

The width of the trench can protect the soldiers to the greatest extent without making the soldiers extremely inconvenient, and this style of play of the Ning army makes the rest of the people feel a little full of sharp teeth but unable to bite people.

"Keep smashing!"

Qi Nie Di was almost unable to control his emotions, Ning Ren was simply disgusting, why did he have such a disgusting way of playing.

The power of the stone-throwing vehicle can not be exerted at all, and it can't get close, the Ning people hide in the trench and shoot arrows out, although the range is shortened, but they have a blockade formed by the stone-throwing vehicle, and the rest soldiers want to rush to the near of the trench must first rush through the killing of big stones and gunpowder bags, especially the gunpowder bags, the biggest power of this kind of thing is psychological, and the current rest soldiers see that there are gunpowder bags flying over, whether they blow up or not, they have already pulled their legs and ran.

Some of them were covered in arrows, some were blinded, some were shot through the neck, some were covered in blood and couldn't die, some were scorched black by gunpowder, and some were burned so hard that their faces were unrecognizable.

Some people said that firearms, it was the Ning people who opened the devil's box.

Shen Leng held his clairvoyance and looked forward, it was not so easy for the rest of the people to break through his blockade, but if the gunpowder was not enough if it was smashed like that, the military gunpowder was not inexhaustible, and the number carried by the army was limited, and the Ning army was not rich enough to squander it wantonly.

"Stop the stone thrower."

Shen Leng raised his hand and shouted.

The herald immediately waved the command flag, and the lookout on the catapult position hurriedly conveyed it, and soon, the catapult position became quiet, and each catapult crawled on the ground again like a giant beast that had been retracted.

"Ning Jun's stone-throwing truck has stopped!"

The resting people shouted on the side, and abandoned Nie Di immediately ordered a fierce attack, and the torrent-like resting people stepped on the ground and surged, if this kind of scene was the first time to see the people standing there, their hearts might stop beating directly, but when the resting people just rushed to that line, the Ning army's stone-throwing carts began to exert their power again, and the whistling big stones and gunpowder bags overturned the enemy layer after layer, and most of the corpses that fell on the ground were mutilated.

Even if someone was lucky enough to cross the blockade, they would not be able to dodge the oncoming rainstorm of bows and crossbows.

"Withdraw!"

Abandon Nie gave orders in a hoarse voice, the trumpet sounded, and the rushing Sabbath army began to retreat.

At the same time, Shen Leng, who was standing on the building car and commanding, continued to order: "Next time the enemy comes up again, reduce the gunpowder bag by half." ”

When the rest of the people retreated from the third attack, Abandon Nie Di discovered this.

"Ning Jun's gunpowder bag seems to be decreasing?"

"Yes General, the number of explosions has been significantly less."

"They shouldn't have enough gunpowder packs, not as many as we thought they would."

"And they've gone from the beginning of their non-stop projectiles to now when we attack, which means that they may not have as many gunpowder packs as we think, they will have less."

Qi Nie's eyes narrowed: "How did this kind of thing like gunpowder come to be made, after defeating the Ning people, we must figure it out, if we also have gunpowder, it will already make the Ning people cry and call their mother." ”

He pointed his hand forward: "Keep attacking!" ”

And so, the fourth charge of the Sabbatarians came up.

On the upstairs car, Shen Leng turned around and ordered: "Reduce the gunpowder bag by half." ”

This time, the number of gunpowder bags thrown out by the Ning army is only about a quarter of the initial number of projectiles, which is already very sparse, and this makes the people of Anxi become crazy, their fear of big stones is much lower than the fear of gunpowder bags, the catapult throws boulders for siege The best effect, used for plain field warfare is actually just like that, the transportation is too inconvenient, it is inconvenient to erect, it is inconvenient to move after fixing, if the enemy in the plain field is a cavalry rush, the catapult has no lethality, and it will soon be assaulted by the cavalry.

Therefore, the rest of the people are not afraid of stones, only afraid of gunpowder packs, how big is the killing range of a stone when it lands, and what is the killing range of a gunpowder bag the size of a grinding disc when it lands?

Seeing that the number of gunpowder packets of Ning Ren was getting smaller and smaller, Qi Nie's eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

"Blow the horn, this time you must rush into the Ning army's formation!"

After saying this, he cursed again.

"Damn it."

The Ning people dug countless trenches in front, which made the cavalry under him have little use, the war horse can cross a trench, but the one behind, the war horse has no place to stand at all, and it is still a ditch to cross over, this way of playing by the Ning people makes the cavalry useless, and those trenches are not horizontal and vertical, God knows if the Ning people have a plan to dig trenches, or dig as they want.

To say that the planning of the trench is not nothing, but the rest of the people are far away and can not be in a high place, so they can't be seen, the trench digging method is a wall digging method, and the brick and stone wall of those gaps are basically the same, from a high place down, you will have the illusion that it is a wall lying on the ground, the trench is a brick joint.

The sixth charge of the resting people came, this time the number of gunpowder packets thrown by the Ning army was already a handful, the pressure of the resting people suddenly felt a lot less, and the previous aggrieved strength could finally be released, they shouted and rushed forward, quickly approaching the Ning army's trench group.

"Volley!"

Luo Kedi, the general who commanded the Ning army, shouted, and the soldiers of the Ning army in the trench neatly released a round of feather arrows.

"Volley!"

The second round of feather arrows was released at the same time again, and the width of the trench group allowed the feather arrows to be released to cause damage at different distances, and the two volleys shot over the resting people who rushed in front of them, and the corpses that fell in front of the trench group were almost covered with the ground.

"Retreat!"

Luo Kedi shouted after two volleys, the sound of the horn immediately sounded, heard the sound of the horn, the Daning soldiers in the trench group began to retreat quickly from the trench with their waists bent, they withdrew along the trench, and a large number of resting people jumped into the trench to prepare to chase and kill, but when they chased within the range of the building car, they found that they were facing the condescending coverage of the Ning people's feather arrows.

The archers on the building cart frantically fired arrows, blocking the pursuit speed of the Anxi people for the retreating Daning soldiers.

"General!"

Rocodi gasped and ran back to board the car: "The Sabbatarians have entered the range of the trench. ”

"Then let them know that the real purpose of those trenches is to dig good graves for them."

Shen Leng's hand pressed down violently, the sound of war drums rang out, the stone throwing cart that had been silent for a while was adjusting the range, and as the war drums sounded, one by one the wooden barrels were thrown out by the projectile car, the barrels were filled with fire oil, the wooden barrels were broken in the trenches, and then the gunpowder packs and burning bows and crossbows arrived.

This time, the gunpowder bag was different from the previous ones, there were not so many arrows mixed in it, the gunpowder exploded, and then the rest of the people noticed that when the Ning people evacuated, there were a lot of sawdust and cotton and other things, and even clothes, leaves, as long as it was something that was easy to ignite, there were almost all of them, the oil barrel was broken, the fire oil flowed out and was ignited, and the dots in the trench quickly burned, but the speed of spread was not so fast.

But of course, this is not all that Shen Leng has prepared.

"Cut them off!"

With Shen Leng's order, a row of stone-throwing vehicles at the front began to regain their power, this time all the gunpowder packs were thrown out instead of big stones, the blockade line appeared again, about more than 10,000 people who rushed into the trench group were cut off by the blockade line, the rest of the people behind were blown up, and those who had already come in were blocked and couldn't get out, and the rockets of the Ning army were covered, and the fire was not fierce at first, but they had nowhere to escape.

This is the Flame Hell.

It took at least a quarter of an hour for the fire to really spread, and this moment of time was a countdown to death for the resting people who rushed over.

Every trench was on fire, and it was early spring, and the rest soldiers were still wearing the winter clothes they had stolen from the Tibetan court, and the cotton would not be extinguished once it was burned.

Just as the man in the fire dances, so does the fire.
