Chapter 4: Traps
The spring sun shines warmly on the face, and everything seems to be thriving in the hair growth season. The warm sunlight www.biquge.info the snow melts, and the loess in the northwest becomes slimy when it absorbs the water. The sound of "poof" and "poof" when the boots stepped on it was extremely unpleasant, and almost every soldier had two catties of dirt on his boots. The march of the whole team was extremely difficult, especially the logistical baggage vehicles. Sinking into the ground has become a common thing, and this situation has changed until it is calm.
The flat and cool roads are paved with bluestone, and no matter how big the snow is, it will not make the bluestone soft. As soon as he stepped on the Pingliang realm, not only Li Xin but also the hearts of the soldiers were happy.
The majestic Pingliang City lies quietly in the distance, like a giant beast in the wilderness. There were neat teams under the city, and groups of soldiers in armor made Pingliang City full of murderous atmosphere. It is incompatible with the warm spring days around it.
On the head of the city, a big banner with black characters on a red background fluttered. A man in ornate armor stood on top of the city, holding a telescope to watch the black pressure of the imperial court in the distance.
"Lord Zhongshuling, didn't you say that Yunhou is not in Pingliang, what?" Seeing the cloud-shaped banner with black characters on a red background, Li Xin suddenly turned around and asked Zhao Gao, who was following him. When there was a problem with the intelligence, Li Xin's first reaction was that it was a trap. In Zhao Gao's mouth, the army taken away by Yun Yue is now neatly lined up under Pingliang City, and the bright people are like tigers and horses. There are also all kinds of strange monsters to help, especially the kind of big animals that pull carts. On their backs sat soldiers in helmets and armor.
At this time, Li Xin was both excited and nervous, excited that he could compete with General Qin Changsheng. Nervously, the number of enemy troops was much larger than before the war. Especially that kind of thing with a long nose, I have never even seen it. How do you deal with something that huge? There were only twenty three-bow crossbows in his team, and he didn't know if the powerful javelins could penetrate the monster. It looked like it was rough and thick.
"The intelligence clearly said that Yunhou took the army to the west. How can it still be cool, is it a fraud? General Li, it's up to you now. If there is no certainty of victory, it is possible to withdraw troops. Naturally, the superintendent will explain the reason to the king, so please don't worry, general. "I saw Yun Yue appear in Pingliang, and the army that should have gone west lined up under the city. Zhao Gao's heart has sunk to the bottom, and it is better to say that he won this battle. If he loses, just because of the wrong intelligence, Jing Er has to chop him up and feed him to the dogs.
Yun Yue has been invincible all these years, and Zhao Gao is not Li Xin's bent on competing for power. He is a standard opportunist, and this time he came to Pingliang to supervise the killing of Yun Yue's family, and secondly, he wanted to make a windfall. Now it seems that the chances of getting rich are very slim, but the chances of being killed are very high. Zhao Gao didn't want to die, although life as a eunuch was a lot less fun, he still didn't want to die.
"The Chinese book makes your Excellency say this wrong! You see that most of the Pingliang army on the opposite side are cavalry, and the infantry is only as small as the city gate, and it seems that there are only about 10,000 people. But you see, there are only more than 10,000 cavalry in our army. If such a large team turned back rashly, it would definitely be pursued by Pingliang's cavalry. When the time comes, the army will collapse, and even the gods will not be able to redeem the defeat. The situation now can only be to attack forward. No way, on the plains the infantry has a natural disadvantage against the cavalry. Li Xin shook his head helplessly, he couldn't compare with the Yun family's army in terms of mobility ability. Once chased and killed by someone, he will definitely die without a place to be buried.
"Everything depends on General Li, and this prisoner is in the back to sweep the battle for General Li." Zhao Gao couldn't care about it at this time, the iron-blooded battlefield didn't belong to him. The reptile inside the shadows will never survive like a lion. After saying a word to Li Xin, he took his personal guards to the back camp. All he took with him were cavalry, and it was clear that four legs had an advantage over two legs if he ran away.
Li Xin glanced at Zhao Gao and did not speak. Ten miles away from Pingliang City, he stopped to arrange a military formation, and he was afraid that Yun Yue would launch a cavalry raid at this time. If this is the case, the Qin army that is in a hurry will easily collapse.
Yun Yue couldn't help but smile when she watched Li Xin's actions from the city. You don't know how powerful Lao Tzu is, as far as the army is concerned, there is a generation difference between the Pingliang army and the Qin army. Sitting on a tiger skin chair, he handed the telescope to Fan Zeng next to him. "I'll leave it to you, Ben Hou is just a spectator today."
"Whoa!" Fan Zeng bowed, bowed to Yun Yue, and took the telescope with both hands. After eating sand in Otsutsuki City for a few years, I finally returned to Pingliang. With the retirement of Wei Fang, Fan Zeng became Yun Yue's new lieutenant in charge of the military.
The Qin army quickly formed a military formation in sequence, leaving a passage between the ranks to facilitate the cavalry attack. The crossbow carts were arranged in the center of the military formation, and the front row of crossbowmen and the back row were sword and shield bearers and halberd bearers. It can be seen that this Qin army is well-trained. Among them, there is a team of guys who form a dense military formation, wearing heavy armor and holding Mo knives. It was the Modao battalion armed with the Yun family's armor, and in the binoculars, Fan Zeng also saw that the heavy armored cavalry behind the Modao battalion was equipping their bodies with that heavy armor. Looking at the number of people, there are thousands of people.
It seems that Jing Er has also invested blood in this attack. It is not only equipped with the most powerful three-bow bed crossbow in the world, but also equipped with the Modao battalion and heavy armored cavalry. If these armaments were used on the Eastern Front, perhaps these 100,000 troops would be able to destroy the Wei State.
"The divisions stabilized, and the rhinoceros battalion was in formation and ready to attack. The war elephant battalion was lined up behind the rhinoceros battalion, and the takin cavalry was divided into two wings. Heavy infantry, guard the city gates! Fan Zeng issued a military order. Rows of rhinoceros in bronze armor were pulled into the military formation, firecrackers bolted to their tails, ready to ignite at any moment. The servants were quickly chaining the rhinos together, so that they could all be charged in one direction.
Chu Dayong heard the military order from the city, thrust the long sword into the ground, scolded his mother and sat on the chair. You know, this time there is nothing to do with the infantry. Those guys rushed up, and there could be a fart Qin army coming to the city. What's more, there are tens of thousands of iron-tired crossbows on the city wall. That thing even shot a rhinoceros to death, let alone those Qin soldiers in ridiculous armor.
Fan Zeng was observing the Qin army, and Li Xin was also observing the Pingliang army. He didn't understand where all the cavalry in Pingliang had gone. The cavalry in front of him were all riding tall takins, which looked more impactful than the cavalry. Li Xin regretted it very much, and should have brought more rejection horses with the army.
Li Xin is not an ordinary person, he has long known that the cavalry of the Pingliang Army is sharp. So when Yongdu was on the road, he brought a lot of red deer. However, because of the mud, there was no attack along the way. A lot of it had to be discarded, and a lot of it was used as firewood to make a fire.
"Arrange the triangular nails to prevent the enemy cavalry from charging." As soon as Li Xin gave the order, the infantry with leather bags on their backs and deerskin gloves rushed out. The triangular nails in their hands were frantically spilled on the ground, and they knew how important this thing was to the infantry formation.
Seeing a layer of triangular nails densely sprinkled in front of the position, Li Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he was very afraid that the Yun family's soldiers would charge. But then he reluctantly found out that he was coming to attack. Although the triangular nails protected themselves, they also blocked their way to march.
Fan Zeng on the city wall sighed, he didn't expect Li Xin to come to this hand. Thinking that the distance should be closer, he launched a rhinoceros charge. But now the distance between the two sides is almost ten miles, and the other side throws down the triangular nails. Obviously, he has given up his intention to attack, and since you don't come to attack, then Lao Tzu will attack you.
"The divisions marched slowly, and launched a rhinoceros charge two miles away. The war elephant battalion followed the rhinoceros, and the two-winged takin cavalry followed again. As soon as Fan Zeng's order flag waved, the black-pressed Yun family's military array moved.
When Li Xin saw the slow-moving Yun family military formation, an ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.
"The whole army is on alert, and the halberd soldiers are out in five columns. Crossbowmen line up and get ready to meet the enemy! With Li Xin's order, the Qin army rolled like a wave. The five columns of halberders in the front row went out to the front to defend against the cavalry, and the crossbowmen behind them were inclined forty-five degrees to prepare to shoot.
