Chapter 574: Peak Loop
Huo Bingyan said with a smile: "Sister Yuqing, don't be emotional, heavy crossbow, that thing is big and heavy, it is usually very difficult to disassemble and transport it, let alone march on the road, that thing is more troublesome than carrying a hundred supply vehicles." ”
The transportation of heavy crossbows is indeed very troublesome, but in the face of these iron cans, heavy crossbows and trebuchets or other heavy weapons have a role, etc., heavy crossbows, Yuan Fang suddenly had an idea, he remembered something, to be precise, it should be a weapon, mountain artillery.
Mountain artillery is not an adjective but a noun, that is, the kind of earthen cannon or second-hand cannon with two wheels in the movie, Yuan Fang didn't want to engage in any hot weapons, he didn't have that ability, he wanted to see if he could press the wheels on those heavy heavy crossbows, and it was best to reduce the volume a little, so that when the army was marching, just get a horse to pull it away, and when you use it, you can untie the rope, at that time, if you encounter the current situation, you don't have to be so embarrassed, get dozens or hundreds of heavy crossbows in a row, That's definitely the nemesis of all heavy riding.
The idea is good, and it is not difficult to implement, and it can be made casually with the current level of craftsmanship in the military factory, but far water cannot save the near fire, and now we have to face reality. There is no better way, then surround it, Yuqing ordered everyone to stand by in place, closely monitor the surrounding movements, and be ready to evacuate at any time, because whether she thinks that the other party will really give up this elite heavy cavalry force.
Time passed little by little, Ling Hu didn't dare to act in a reckless formation to defend, and Yuan Fang didn't dare to attack rashly, the two sides were staring at each other with such big eyes, stalemate, absolute stalemate.
After about two hours, the embarrassing situation was finally broken, and as expected, the other party's reinforcements came, it was a cavalry unit of almost 10,000 people, coming from Guangyuan City, led by Pang Ying, who had followed Prince Lonely Wind for a long time like Ling Hu. Speaking of Pang Ying and Ling Hu, I have to talk about another person, this person's name is Gao Shun, who has also followed Dugu Feng for many years, commanding 10,000 heavy infantry, and Ling Hu and Pang Ying are called King Jing Sanjie, Jing, is the king of Dugufeng.
Only Pang Ying came over this time, Gao Shun didn't come, not because he didn't want to come, but because the speed of the heavy infantry was too slow, and he had other responsibilities.
As soon as Pang Ying's 10,000 cavalry left the city, Yuan Fang received the news, 10,000 against 10,000, Yuan Fang did not suffer a loss, but they did not have any advantage, and Yuan Fang and Yuqing did not want to have too many casualties, after all, they had another goal, so not long after Pang Ying left the city, Yuan Fang's Taiji army shot again, and after a few rounds of random arrows killed a large number of war horses, they also took away almost a thousand captured war horses.
Yuan Fang and the others ran away, Ling Hu was relieved, although he was unwilling to do anything in his heart, but the hatred in his heart did not decrease but increased, and he added a thousand blood debts to Yuan Fang's life.
This sortie not only lost almost a thousand soldiers, but also lost more than half of the war horses, and the morale dropped to the extreme, it can be said that Ling Hu's heavy cavalry corps was tossed into a half-crippled, and it is impossible to restore the combat effectiveness of the peak morale without half a year and a few months, which is still under the premise that there are enough war horses to replenish.
Cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpse, Ling Hu was physically and mentally exhausted, and walked back dejectedly, on the way, he met Pang Ying who rushed to the rescue, Ling Hu did not hide his resentment towards this friend for many years, in his mind, if Pang Ying was willing to attack with him, that despicable and shameless Yuan Fang would definitely not be able to escape, and he could avenge Prince Dugufeng.
Pang Ying and Ling Hu have been friends for many years, and they know Ling Hu's temper very well, ignoring Ling Hu's horizontal eyebrows and smiling coldly: "Ling Hu, how is it?" I said you can't catch up with them, you still don't believe it, what about now? ”
Ling Hu's eyes were torn and he said coldly: "Your Highness is not kind to you, now that Your Highness is dead, it doesn't matter if you don't want to help Your Highness take revenge, you can still laugh?" ”
Ling Hu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Ling Hu, I'll just say that you are too impulsive, everyone was busy treating His Highness at that time, how could I have the heart to do anything else, by the way, you may not know it, Your Highness is not dead, he is still alive." ”
Ling Hu was stunned when he heard this, then he was overjoyed, and grabbed Pang Ying's collar: "What did you say?" Your Highness is not dead? It's true? ”
Pang Ying slapped Ling Hu's big hand, straightened his armor, rolled his eyes and said, "What am I lying to you for?" Interesting? Ling Hu received a definite answer, and without saying a word, he took the reins and turned over on his horse.
Pang Ying's hand was quick, and he grabbed the reins of Ling Hu's horse and said, "I said, where are you going?" ”
Ling Hu said as a matter of course: "Go back, I'll go to see His Royal Highness King Qin." ”
Pang Ying's head was full of black lines, and he pointed to the heavy cavalry on foot behind Ling Hu and said, "You are gone, what should they do?" If the enemy goes and returns, they're doomed. ”
Ling Hu was displeased and said, "Isn't there still you?" ”
Pang Ying pouted and said: "I'm just 10,000 people, and the people are about the same, I can't take advantage of the real fight, how can I have the kung fu to shut them up when the time comes, don't worry, you kid, let's go back together." "Ling Hu thinks about it, anyway, His Royal Highness the Prince is still alive, and he can see him when he goes back, so there is no need to rush for a while.
On the way back, Ling Hu and Pang Ying walked side by side, and Ling Hu asked puzzledly: "Pang Ying, I saw clearly at that time that His Royal Highness King Qin had died of poison, what was going on?" ”
Speaking of this, Pang Ying was also confused, at that time, just like Ling Hu saw, Dugu Feng, whose shoulder was bruised by a feather arrow, foamed at the mouth and twitched all over his body, and after a while, he straightened up and did not move, everyone thought that it was a highly poisonous attack and poison to death, but in fact, when Ling Hu's head went out to avenge Dugu Feng, Dugu Feng, who was already a corpse, actually lived again, and the military doctor did not dare to slack off, carefully examined, and finally couldn't tell the reason, he could only attribute all this to the strange poison used by the other party.
Dugu Feng died and came back to life, everyone was overjoyed and didn't dare to take it lightly, because Dugu's real condition was not optimistic at that time, not only fell into a delirious semi-comatose state, but also had many strange symptoms, such as foaming at the mouth, cramps or spasms, and then poor breathing, these are all right, and the most puzzling thing is that the urine is bloody, rolling around in the stomach, which makes people unclear about the situation, Pang Ying and Gao Shun were worried, and found all the doctors and military doctors in the city to come for diagnosis and treatment, Those military doctors and doctors couldn't find a specific reason, and finally had to die as a live horse doctor, messing around with a lot of herbs with detoxification effects for Dugu Feng to take, I don't know if Dugu Feng's life should not be extinguished or the time has not come, not to mention, after taking the medicine, Dugu Feng's symptoms have been significantly alleviated, Pang Ying and Gao Shun's hanging hearts finally let go, until this time, Pang Ying and Gao Shun remembered Ling Hu, the reckless man, the two discussed, Pang Ying brought people to support.
