Chapter 39: Preparing for War

People usually due to some kind of misjudgment, leading to the occurrence of accidents. This causes panic, disordered behavior, and mental and physical breakdowns.

Psychologists 2,000 years ago perfectly demonstrated the psychological characteristics of the cavalry of the 2,000 Wu army.

When the left and right armies separated, they outflanked Yan's village in a fan shape. They were told in advance that there were only 100 households in the village, and it was not difficult to occupy this small village. It only takes one charge to settle the battle, and when is the farmer with a dung fork the opponent of the cavalry,

As soon as they had approached two hundred paces, a hail of arrows came to their faces. Many were shot off their horses before they could remove their shields from their horses. The sprinting cavalry seemed to crash against the huge waves on the shore, and they were smashed to pieces in an instant.

The sudden blow stunned these cavalrymen, and they did not understand the Zhuangzi of the hundred and ten households. Even women and children can't shoot so many arrows, which is strictly unscientific.

Before the cavalry could react from their initial ignorance, a second wave of arrows rained down. The wailing knights who fell from their horses are enough to prove that these people in the Zhuangzi did not use the soft bows of the villagers, but the hard bows of the army.

Only a bow and arrow had such a fast rate of fire that it could shake the charging cavalry. The sound of popping arrows piercing through the armor continued to sound, and the cavalry in the front row fell off their horses one after another, and the cavalry in the back row were still charging forward. The galloping horses' hooves struck the body of the robe at sunset, and the broken bones and the wailing of the robe could still be heard in the galloping of the horses. The crushed sternum was rolling and struggling, and the head that was stepped on was torn apart like a broken watermelon, and the gray brain and blood splattered like a watermelon.

The bloody breath in the air suddenly became thicker, and Luan Bu took a deep breath, as if every cell in his body was waking up.

"It's so enjoyable, the last time I endured so many cavalry charges was in the clouds. The iron cavalry of the Huns is much stronger than these people. If it was the Huns' iron cavalry, once they launched a charge, they would not stop, nor would they retreat halfway, and if they wanted to repel their charge, they could only kill them all. Besides, what kind of fool would let his subordinates do this to Zhuangzi, who is not conducive to cavalry charge. Luan Bu stood on the stack of firewood and grass, looked at the retreating cavalry, and said to Luan Ling beside him.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid that the only cavalry in the Wu army who can command so many cavalry is your old friend General Xiang. It's a bit ...... to say that."

"You ghost girl, but the old man is very strange. Why did Sanqiu launch such a large-scale charge without reconnaissance, resulting in heavy losses. It seems that this failed attack has caused him to lose at least 500 cavalry, while our army has not suffered any casualties, which is not like his doing. ”

Luan Bu looked at the battlefield full of corpses with some suspicion in his eyes.

In contrast, Yun Xiao is much more free. After the initial panic, order had been restored in the military village, and the old fisher and a group of Mo disciples pacified the Zhuang households and set up spare military tents for everyone to live in at night. He also singled out some farmers and women to cook a hot lunch for everyone.

The three-bow bed crossbow shot and killed a few Wu cavalry who came to test them, and those Wu troops no longer made any moves.

Yun Xiao put down the binoculars and walked down the military village that was only three zhang high with some ease.

"Old fisherman, let the farmers go home and move their things after dark. Everything had to be moved into the army, food, bedding, etc., etc., all had to be moved here, presumably they would have to live here for a few days. ”

"Juzi, how could so many Wu Jun suddenly appear?"

"It's not a sudden appearance, someone has already come in advance. These cavalry are just summoned reinforcements, if I'm not mistaken. Reinforcements of infantry are expected to arrive in a few days. We have killed so many people and robbed so many goods, it is impossible to expect people not to retaliate. ”

"But we were very careful, and the village burned down. The back road is the tail that the Cang brothers personally sweeped, how could it be? ”

"The Cangjia brothers also swept the ruts, and the ruts were so heavy that the gold had already pressed out two deep ditches on the road. These deep grooves are like two thick arrows that point at us all the way. What can I do, people are not as good as heaven. Lao Luan Bu came over with a thousand or hundreds of men to play a prestige, otherwise those cavalry would have occupied Zhuangzi just now and cut off our supplies. ”

"Fortunately, Juzi had the foresight to dig a well in the military village, otherwise we would have been trapped by them with only one water source."

"Well, the cavalry attack has been repelled by Luan Bu. Let the farmers go home to get their things, but fortunately they robbed the grain transportation team of the Marquis of Changyi a few days ago. Otherwise, it's really hard to get through, even if we add Luanbu's people, our food will be enough for us to eat for more than a month. But Wu Jun...... Hey hey"

Yun Xiao knew that once Yan Ruxin told Zhou Yafu the news that the Huaisi Kou had hidden the military rations of Wu Chu's army. Zhou Yafu will definitely not let go of this opportunity, Wu Chujun's grain and grass will be cut off, and see if they can last a few days.

Now you have to think about how you can stop Luan Bu from entering the military village. The contents of the barn must not be known to the old fellow, and with so much gold, maybe the old fellow will come to the black.

"General, there are ambushes in Zhuangzi. As soon as our army approached, the arrows flew like locusts, and our army suffered heavy losses, losing more than 500 military horses, and according to the observation of his subordinates, there were at least 1,000 ambush soldiers in Zhuangzi. ”

Xiang Sanqiu was so angry that he threw a whip on the face of the scout yesterday, and the scout didn't dare to hide, and Yin Hong's blood ran down his cheeks and didn't dare to wipe it.

"Come on, drag it down and cut it." Xiang Sanqiu exerted too much force, and the mount under his crotch screamed and spun in circles on the ground.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life......"

The scout howled and was dragged away by Xiang Sanqiu's own soldiers, and after a scream, a bloody human head was presented.

"Damn, I have been hunting geese all my life, but today I was pecked by the house sparrows. It was ordered that Zhuangzi should be surrounded and that no one should attack without my generals. ”

"General, our army's rations are not left for a few days."

"Don't be afraid, there will be infantry troops to support us in three days. 5,000 foot soldiers, plus my 5,000 cavalry soldiers, I'm afraid I won't be able to take down his small Zhuangzi. ”

Xiang Sanqiu glared at Yan's Zhuangzi fiercely, and then went to the small hill after beating his horse, he was going to set up the Chinese army tent in this easy-to-observe place.

"Old Luan, Wu Jun is probably a drunkard who is not interested in drinking. Didn't Wu Jun learn that the news of your old visit to the Yan family leaked? King Wu is going to cut off General Dou's arm in one fell swoop. This is a very poisonous plan. ”

Yun Xiao accompanied Yan Qing and analyzed the reason for Wu Jun's sudden arrival in front of Luan Bu. As for the fact that he robbed King Wu's gold, he used the Spring and Autumn penmanship to ignore it.

Luan Bu wore his beard, and he also thought that Wu Jun was coming to attack and kill him. Yunxiao has lived here for more than a month, and Yan Qing's daughters have been soaked in their hands and nothing has happened. As soon as the front foot of his brava came, thousands of cavalry rushed out on the back foot. This is clearly for himself, and he secretly hates why he put on such a big show, this time he has recruited the wolf. Xiang Sanqiu has been his old friend for many years, and he still knows his skills.

Escaping was self-defeating, and more than a thousand people could not go far before they were routed by the overwhelming charge of the cavalry. Five thousand cavalry eat a thousand of their own infantry, and they themselves will not win anyway. For today's plan, the only way to stick to it is to rely on the Yan family Zhuangzi.

"Hehe, it is indeed the old man who has brought disaster to the Yan family, and the current situation is going to be in the same boat with Yunhou. I don't know if Yunhou has a clever plan against the enemy? ”

"Luan Lao praised the boy, how dare the juniors speak in front of the old general, and listen to the teachings of the old hero."

Yan Qing and Luan Bu both nodded and smiled with their beards, deeply impressed by Yun Xiao's attitude.

But halfway through the laugh, they couldn't laugh anymore, because they didn't have anything to do about the situation in front of them.

Yun Xiao saw the bitter melon on the faces of the two old guys, so he said: "The kid has a few stupid thoughts, I don't know if the old hero is willing to listen to it." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"One of them is to hurriedly send his henchman Knight Pegasus to report to General Dou that he knows, and ask General Dou to send troops to help."

"Don't ask you to say this, the old man has already sent people away."

"Oh, the second is to divide the troops. There are many subordinates of the old hero, and the military village cannot live, so they should be stationed in Zhuangzi. The first is that you and I support each other, and the second is to ensure the water source of the military village. ”

Yun Xiao deliberately did not explain the fact that there was a well in the military village, and the reason for protecting the water source could allow Luan Bu to guard Zhuangzi. ”

"Well, this old man has no objection, but the old man's military rations are only enough for ten days, and I ask Yunhou to ......."

"Now that Yun Xiao is in the same boat with the old hero, he will naturally not let the old hero go hungry. How about raising 3,000 catties of grain and rice for the old hero? ”

"Thank you here."

The intense preparations for the war were fully launched in Yanjia Zhuangzi, and Yun Xiao asked the villagers to dig a deep and wide trench around the military village overnight, and all the excavated soil had to be piled up on the side of the military village.

The soil in early spring is soft, sticky and slippery. Don't talk about walking on such a dirt mountain, even if you climb up, it's your luck. Luan Bu turned around with his hands behind his back, looked at Tushan and nodded in surprise. He turned around and walked away.

There are also many trenches dug in the Zhuangzi, and traps with bamboo sticks are everywhere. Luan Bu also carefully sent people to the battlefield to pick up the feather arrows that were shot, and one more arrow before the war was good.

Rows of wooden stakes were sharpened and dug deep into the earth. This is a good way to deal with cavalry, and it was invented in the pre-Qin period.

Yun Xiao came up with the idea of digging many small pits more than a foot deep in the mouth of the bowl outside Zhuangzi and on the route of the cavalry charge. If a galloping horse accidentally steps into it, the horse's legs will be broken in an instant. The fate of the knight sitting on the war horse can also be imagined, except for being broken by a broken tendon.
