Chapter 1001: Unconventional and Unscientific Traps
Chapter One Thousand and One
"General, do you want to go back and chop up these damn barbarians?" Hu Da, who was riding his horse and galloping, turned around and saw that hundreds of Qihu barbarians actually dared to chase after him and the others, and almost tilted his nose in anger, and couldn't help but ask loudly at Li Youwen.
"The whole army began to speed up, and those who violated the order must not stop, and those who violated the order will be killed!" Li Youwen didn't even look at this aggressive idiot, and shouted loudly. Then she continued to gallop on her horse, and her order was passed on to the ears of every elite cavalry of Zuo Yu Lin Wei by a herald, and the army that had been advancing at a uniform speed increased again.
And the Qihu cavalry who crossed the river at the beginning first excitedly raised their weapons and urged their mounts to pull away for a while, and then they were surprised to find that the distance between their side and the other party was not close, but there was a tendency to pull farther and farther.
At this time, Hassan finally crossed the Yunshui River and reached the opposite bank, but before he could ride his horse, he was stopped by an old and heavy general riding his horse.
"Your Highness, do you want to let the soldiers rest after crossing the river, our warriors have been on the road for several hours, and if we chase after it, I'm afraid that some horsepower will be insufficient......."
"Lack of horsepower? Do you mean to just let me watch that woman slip away from my sight? Hassan's face couldn't help but sink, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he glared viciously at the general who dared to stop in front of him, and his fingers almost poked at the bridge of the opponent's nose and shouted.
The general didn't expect Hassan to fall into a frenzy at this moment, but seeing Hassan like this, he also knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he could only get out of the way in shame, and watched the red-eyed Hassan continue to gallop away like an aggressive bull among the armies.
"Gron, what's wrong with you?" Chigu also rushed up at this time, and when he saw the old heavy general stop his horse with a gloomy face, he couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Our warriors have already made their way in the morning, and now they are galloping like this without horsepower, if they encounter an ambush...... "Glong nodded at Chigu and explained with a bitter expression.
"Do you think that even if the other party has an ambush, how many soldiers and horses can be ambushed, you won't know the situation in the surrounding states and counties of Yunzhou, right?" Seeing the worrying appearance of Gron's matter, Chigu couldn't help but laugh out loud, raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the thing, and raised his thick eyebrows with a smile. "Don't worry, my brother Gelong, hurry up and catch up, our highness is still waiting to avenge the revenge of being humiliated by that woman in the past."
Throwing down these words, he ignored Gron, and chased straight forward with his horse. Seeing the back of Nachigu, and then turning his head, and glancing at the Qihu warriors who looked extremely angry because they were crossing the river, and beat their mounts, Gelong knew that it was impossible to change anything with his own strength, and in desperation, he wanted to gather the men and horses of his own tribe.
But not many people listened to him, and even those who obeyed the order and stayed behind looked at Gelong with resentment, thinking that Gelong was blocking their good opportunity to make a difference.
Zuo Yu Linwei's army finally withdrew to a position where twenty large flags were erected, and soon, the team began to form a team there, and quickly passed through the position where the flags were planted in a row of three horses.
Soon, when the Khihu cavalry was still more than two miles away from them, the army had all crossed the passage, and by the way, the red flags that had been erected were withdrawn one by one.
Then they began to follow the shouts of the officers, and began to organize the formation, and the knights of the Left Feather Forest Guard who were in the front row jumped off their horses one after another, and walked forward, and then everyone pulled a rope directly from the ground and twisted it on their arms, but they did not mean to pull it upward, but just stood quietly in place.
At the other end of the ropes were tied to sticks about a foot long that had been laid down to the ground, tied with straw ropes and twigs, about a foot apart, and the tips were sharpened.
"General, do you say those traps are useful?" Hu Da came to Li Youwen's side, looked at the ground that had been removed from the red flag, and didn't see anything unusual, and couldn't help but ask Li Youwen in a low voice.
"It should be useful, at least this kind of trap requires very little manpower, and it is very quick to arrange, although it can't trap the enemy's men and horses in the pit like those regular traps, but I believe that it is still possible to let those horses accidentally break their hooves." Li Youwen didn't have any expression on her face. In my heart, I was very disdainful, well, of course, it was someone who was crying blood for the defense of Yunzhou City in Yunzhou at the moment.
Because it was the battle plan formulated by that person, and the army was also worried that Her Royal Highness Li Youwen, the princess, would be the bait, in such a situation, it was natural that it must be strictly implemented in accordance with Duan Dagongzi's plan.
Anyway, the number of these traps far exceeds the previous concept, well, nearly doubled, looking at this piece of trapping pits that is a hundred steps deep and almost a mile wide, Rao is Li Youwen is expressionless on the surface, and deep down in her heart she has begun to wonder if those Qihu cavalry will protest because of the too many traps of these pit fathers, or turn their heads sadly and refuse to play again.
Not...... Compared with the normal horse trap pit, the shallow type of horse trap proposed by Duan Dagongzi is definitely far from the normal type of horse trap that is five feet long, one foot wide, and three feet deep, and the pit is buried with antler guns and bamboo sticks.
After all, the traps he proposed were not so much a trap as a trap, because the depth of these pits would not exceed one foot, and the width would be about one zhang, and the length would reach five zhang, and in these shallow pits would be filled with a large number of strangely shaped stones, or, in some places, dig deeper, and in some places dig a little shallower.
The most important thing is that after all the traps are set up, a layer of grass clippings is covered, and on the surface, nothing can be seen at all, and only when your feet have fallen, you will find that you will walk a foot deep and a foot shallow.
What's more, when the cavalry assault of the hurricane assault, it is impossible to have a perspective eye to observe those pit stones or shallow pits, let alone horses, even if people feel as if they are trapped when they step on the first foot, and when they step out on the second foot, there is no stone to the foot, well, I believe that those Khihu knights and their mounts will empathize with them at that time.
It is precisely because the shape of the pit does not need to be regular or not, and the depth is very shallow, so it is naturally very convenient to dig, and Duan Dagongzi enthusiastically assisted two thousand hoes and shovels, making this work extremely easy to complete in a very short time.
And now, it's time to start thinking about the role of these superficial traps.
And those Qihu cavalry who rushed to the front, after seeing that Zuo Yu Linwei's army actually stopped, and even turned back to form a formation, with a posture of wanting to resist stubbornly, they also reined in their horses' heads one after another
。
Well, chasing the enemy and slashing the other party from behind is definitely a very wonderful choice, but when the other party has already established a firm position and is facing each other, the farther he rushes, the sooner he can get the ticket to Lord Hades.
Everyone is an old soldier, so naturally they are not stupid, so after seeing Zuo Yu Linwei waiting in formation, these Qihu cavalry stopped the pursuit very interestingly, took off the leather helmet on their heads, and revealed the Mediterranean hairstyle that was shaved bald on the top, gasping for breath, and almost sticking their tongues out to dissipate heat.
Finally, Hassan also rushed to the front of the team, and after seeing that the left feather Lin Wei army was already in full battle, he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he was out of breath, and the laughter was really hearty.
Muma, in order to chase you, I almost tired this king into a dog, and now this king sees where else can you guys run? Hassan looked at the camp of the Zuo Yu Lin Wei army that only had a happy face, and the more he looked at it, the more he began, it seemed that the woman must also know that there was no point in running away like this, and it was better to reflexively fight with herself.
However, don't you Tang people think too highly of your own combat power? Do you think that the 30,000 under the command of this king, no, the 40,000 Qihu warriors are so vulnerable? Today, the king is here.
