Ling Hu didn't try to the top of the mountain in vain, he knew that it was in vain, the opponent's horsepower was sufficient, his own heavy armor was slow, and he couldn't get close at all, and once the defensive formation was destroyed, it was easy for the other party to seize the opportunity to divide and surround and gradually encroach, so he could only wait now, waiting for his own reinforcements to arrive.

Heavily armored spear, Yuan Fang looked at the iron hedgehog in front of him and also had a headache, and asked Yuqing, Yuqing didn't have any good way.

Normally, dealing with heavy infantry generally requires a large number of pikemen, and then a certain amount of cavalry to cooperate with the attack rear, or directly send heavy infantry to duel, otherwise you can only use crowd tactics to pile up, otherwise it is difficult to destroy such a strong heavy army.

Of course, under normal circumstances, even if it is worth paying 20,000 or even 30,000 casualties to destroy 10,000 heavy infantry, many generals Ning Yuan did this, but Yuan Fang would not, he couldn't afford to lose, and he didn't want his soldiers to die like fuel, he felt that it was not worth it.

Sighing, Yuan Fang sighed and said, "If only we had a heavy crossbow or trebuchet." ”

Yuqing said helplessly: "How can there be so many ifs, this time it is our luck, if it weren't for their horsepower running out, our casualties would definitely be not small." ”

Yuan Fang was also emotional, to be honest, he was frightened just now: "Okay, don't talk about that, let's think about how to solve these iron hedgehogs." ”

At this time, Ye Qingru pointed to a boulder on the top of the hill and proposed, "Brother-in-law, what do you think will happen if we push that big stone down?" ”

Yuan Fang looked at the round boulders, and looked at the iron hedgehogs gathered on the hillside, and his eyes lit up: "Why didn't I expect it, Qingru, you are so smart." Ye Qingru was praised, her face was flushed, her little head was raised, and she was very proud.

Yuqing smiled and said, "Well, this method is good, but the stone is just such a piece, and the lethality must be limited." ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand and said: "No matter how many there are, if you can kill one one, who is that, hurry up, find a few people and see if you can push that stone down?" The idea was Ye Qingru's idea, and this task was naturally entrusted to her.

Yuan Fang first ordered the troops to open the road, and then, Ye Qingru commanded a large group of strong soldiers, either pushing, or using horse rifles, or horse-pulling, anyway, he tried everything he could, and finally pushed a boulder the size of a house down the hillside.

The boulder rolled, and the ground shook with it, accelerating faster and faster by the slope of the hill, and in the blink of an eye it crashed into the formation of heavy cavalry.

Such a big boulder, such a big momentum, the heavy cavalry was frightened to the faceless, they were on the battlefield, and they would not retreat in the face of any enemy, but that did not mean that they had no fear, especially in the face of this irresistible boulder, they had no resistance at all, no one was willing to die in vain, in the face of the boulder, the heavy cavalry who were strictly forbidden by military discipline retreated for the first time, the left and right in front scattered to dodge, and the back scattered and fled, but their defensive array was too dense, The soldiers in the boulder rolling route had nowhere to escape, and under the crisis of life and death, they all squeezed desperately to the side, and for a while, the shouts and scolding of the officers were endless.

With a scream and swallowed by the roar of the boulder, the boulder rolled down the mountain unstoppably, ploughing a gap more than ten meters wide in the array of heavy cavalry, and when the boulder stopped rolling, it was already stained with blood.

Under the sunset, on the hillside, a bright red road shone brightly, this road of destruction and death, there were countless crushed corpses, the heavy armor of the soldiers was useless in front of the boulders, all the crushed were turned into scrap metal, and in those scrap iron, there was blood gushing out, staining the earth red, and also staining the sunset.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Fang was stunned, Yuqing was stunned, and Ye Qingru, the initiator, was also stunned, anyway, all the people who were alive to see this scene were stunned, no one thought that such a stone would have such great lethality.

After a while, Yuan Fang woke up from his shock and muttered to himself: "Damn, it's really fierce, how many people have been killed in this moment." Yuqing swallowed her saliva and secretly reminded herself that when you go up the mountain in the future, you must be especially careful if there are any stones on the mountain, uh, big stones.

Xia Yi's eyes widened and stared at the bloody road that was plowed out, and asked eagerly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what should we do now?" ”

Yuan Fang completely recovered from the shock, looked at the blood-stained earth in the north, his expression was firm, he took a deep breath, and said calmly: "That, Yuqing, what do you think should be done now?" ”

Yuan Fang's previous series of expressions, everyone thought that he had made a decision, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he actually asked Yuqing, which made everyone collectively speechless, and his head was full of black lines.

The same is true for Yuqing, although Yuan Fang's humble advice made her feel very gratified, but in her heart Yuqing still hopes that at this time Yuan Fang can come forward, turn the tide, and lead everyone out of the encirclement, uh, the troops, it should be to lead everyone to victory, it doesn't seem to be very appropriate, anyway, that's what it means.

Yuqing's expression is uncertain, in fact, according to the current form, before the enemy can react, it is necessary to kill the enemy and divide and surround it, but then it will be close to the enemy, the other party is wearing heavy armored heavy cavalry, what about their own side, just a light horse equipped with leather armor, combat effectiveness and survivability are obviously not at the same level, even if their morale is high and they can defeat, but they also need to pay a lot of price, and in the end, it is good that their 10,000 people can be left with 3,000, this is not what Yuqing wants to see, so, Yuqing decisively gave up this tempting idea, pondered for a moment and said: "There's nothing you can do, continue to consume, if they don't have reinforcements, let's wait until they completely collapse and surrender." ”

Yuan Fang scratched his head and said, "No, even if they don't have reinforcements, people won't run?" This is not too far from Guangyuan City, and it can be reached in half a day at most. ”

Yuqing rolled her eyes and said, "Brother-in-law, you just lack common sense, run?" How do they run? You see, just now, most of their war horses were scared away, and it obviously doesn't work to ride a horse, but if they go back on foot, it will be even more ridiculous, the armor of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry is different, in order to reduce the weight of the war horse, their armor mainly defends the front, and the armor behind is much thinner, you didn't find it just now? Were all those who were shot with bows and arrows in the back? If they run, they will definitely leave us with their weak backs, and then they will bring about their own destruction. ”

After Yuqing's literacy, Yuan Fang suddenly realized, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "So that's the case, then let's surround here?" ”

Yuqing shrugged: "Otherwise? Alas, if only there were heavy crossbows, these iron guys are really tough. ”
