Chapter 2029: Chest Mirror
Xu Chang reacted a little later and asked, "What?" ”
"I understand, the troops and horses sent by the second brother are divided to deal with the two thousand northwest cavalry." Zhao You said with annoyance: "Chu Huan must have expected that the second brother would divide his troops a long time ago, so those two thousand cavalry secretly moved to the other side of the mountain range at night. Raising his hand to the two thousand Northwest cavalry who were moving, "You see, they went around that side, and there was no trace of them in the southwest, and they were also blocked by mountains, so it was difficult to find!" ”
Xu Chang instantly understood: "Are you saying that the soldiers and horses that passed from the bottom of the mountain just now were supposed to deal with these two thousand cavalry, but they were deceived by them, and now they are even led to the west?" ”
"It must be so." Zhao You's expression was grim: "I thought that the second brother deliberately sent a team of soldiers and horses to attack Gucheng and cut off the retreat of the Northwest Army, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!" ”
Xu Chang said: "They have already passed, and they can't care so much." The situation on the second brother's side is grim, and we must immediately go down the mountain to support. ”
Zhao You also looked down the mountain, the main cavalry of the two sides was still fighting on the vast land, and the Liaodong cavalry had been divided into several sections by the northwest cavalry, and the overall formation had already been dispersed.
But at the foot of the mountain, there were still seven or eight hundred cavalry left and moved, and it seemed that Chu Huan had long been prepared for the Liaodong soldiers on the mountain to rush from behind.
However, there are thousands of people on the mountain, and less than a thousand horsemen want to stop it, in Xu Chang's eyes, it is naturally a little self-sufficient.
The horn sounded on the mountain, and the Liaodong cavalry, who had been prepared for a long time, had already led their own horses, their swords and guns were unsheathed, and someone had already cut through the wooden fence that had been erected before, ready to rush down the mountain.
At this moment, Xu Chang and Zhao You heard shouts from behind at the same time, and when they looked back, they saw arrows flying in the sky, and when they saw the arrows, Xu Chang and Zhao You had already changed color suddenly.
If it was just an ordinary arrow, it would naturally not make the two of them frightened, but at this moment, it was a burning rocket.
"Not good!" Zhao You's face turned pale instantly, "They want to set fire to the mountain." ”
The mountain is densely wooded, and if it is spring and summer, it may not be easy to catch fire, but now it is winter, the trees are dry, and countless rockets fly over the mountain and shoot into the trees, just in the blink of an eye, many dry trees have already burned.
Xu Chang finally understood at this time that the two thousand northwest cavalry had not joined the main force for a long time, but they had been waiting for this time, they not only succeeded in letting Kou Ying divide his troops and lure away thousands of Liaodong iron cavalry, but also took on the task of setting fire to the mountain.
The war horses galloped, those northwest cavalry cooperated very tacitly, just at the foot of the mountain around, someone held a torch in his hand, to provide a source of fire for his companions, rockets continued, they went around, it was countless rockets shot over, igniting the trees on the mountain.
"Rush down the hill!" Xu Chang shouted: "Brothers, rush down to the east and attack the Northwest Army with the main force in front and back!" ”
Although a fire suddenly broke out on the mountain, and the fire spread quickly, most of the Liaodong soldiers were only startled, but they did not panic, Xu Chang shouted loudly on the top of the guard tower, picked up the order flag, played the flag, and ordered the soldiers to rush to the east.
Immediately the soldiers of the mountain gathered to the east, and some of them had already led their horses down the mountain.
The hundreds of Northwest cavalry who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain had also moved at this time, they lit torches, and the soldiers bent their bows and arrows, ignited rockets, and quickly shot towards the mountain.
These soldiers had a large number of arrows around them, and the clusters of arrows had been processed a long time ago, and they ignited immediately.
At this time, archery does not require their accuracy, but requires them to shoot as many rockets as possible to burn the whole mountain.
The arrows rained down, and many Liaodong cavalry who were rushing down the mountain were killed by the arrows.
Although the mountains are not high, but there are many trees, dense, and the cavalry is full of emotions with their own war horses in their bones, reluctant to abandon their war horses, down the mountain in the dense forest, and can not ride a horse to rush down, can only lead the horse, in this way, the speed of action is greatly slowed, and even more at this time under Xu Chang's military order, countless Liaodong cavalry are squeezed to the east, and the speed is even more sluggish.
The north wind blew and the fire started.
Although the Liaodong war horses were strong, but the front suddenly ignited a fire, countless war horses suddenly neighed, many war horses were afraid of the fire in front, and they didn't dare to go forward, and the cavalry could only pull hard, and the mountain was suddenly in chaos.
The northwest cavalry was determined to block the enemy's road down the mountain with fire, and after the cavalry fired several rounds of rockets in a row, more than 200 cavalry were divided into two wings and walked around, and for a while, the two thousand cavalry before the contract, nearly three thousand cavalry urged the war horses to run around the Yellow Ridge, showing that the Yellow Ridge was to be made into a large fire circle.
Kou Ying was stabbed several times at this time, and his battle armor was drenched in blood, although he had his own blood, but also the blood of the Northwest Cavalry, fortunately, he was not injured in the fatal vital point, and he was still fighting tenaciously.
Before the war, he had no idea that the war would be fought in such a scene.
At this time, he had already discovered the mystery of the things on the other party's chest, and the things that were attached to the chest of the soldiers in the northwest were obviously mirrors, but they were completely different from the bronze mirrors he had seen before.
Compared with the bronze mirror, the chest mirror of the Northwest Cavalry is obviously much clearer, and its toughness is far inferior to the copper mirror.
But compared to the bronze mirror, this strange chest mirror not only has the same reflection function, but also the light reflected from it is even more invisible.
Kou Ying finally understood at this time that when the two armies were facing each other, Chu Huan was full of confidence and fighting spirit, obviously relying on such a chest mirror, and more importantly, today the sun appeared and the sun rose in the east.
The rising sun rises from the east, and the northwest army faces east with its back to the west, just facing the rising sun, as long as the chest mirror is revealed, the sunlight is projected on the chest mirror, and the light can be reflected immediately.
The light suddenly shone on the eyes, and the eyes were naturally unable to see in an instant, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry on both sides was originally equal to each other, but because of the reflection of the chest mirror, the Liaodong cavalry was naturally at a great disadvantage, and such a disadvantage was undoubtedly fatal.
Even if because of the action and orientation, the sunlight can not be projected on the chest mirror, but the chest mirror can clearly reflect the opposite scene into it, when facing the enemy, the corner of the eyes of the Liaodong soldiers must be able to see that there is a living thing moving in the opponent's chest, so it will inevitably make the attention distracted, the two sides duel, can not have the slightest difference, often within one or two knives to see, you live and die, once the attention is scattered, the possibility of survival is greatly reduced.
Kou Ying was shocked in his heart, he really didn't understand how Chu Huan had such strange equipment.
Not to mention that the chest mirror itself has played a great combat effect, the most important thing is that before this, the cavalry formation has never had such equipment, and this kind of equipment suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, which is also fatal to the psychological deterrence of the Liaodong cavalry.
The situation is critical, seeing that the momentum of the Northwest Army is like a rainbow, and the Liaodong cavalry is planted from the horse one after another, and the formation is completely chaotic, Kou Ying knows very well in his heart that even if the Liaodong Army is brave, but if it continues to fight like this, the Liaodong Army will be defeated, at this time, he really hopes that Xu Chang on the mountain can find out the battle situation here and decisively go down the mountain to reinforce.
As long as Xu Chang can disrupt the position of the Northwest Army and give the Liaodong Army a chance to reassemble into a formation, even if he can't win today's battle, he will not completely collapse.
But when he saw that there was a sudden fire on the Yellow Ridge, and the fire was spreading rapidly, he knew that everything was in Chu Huan's calculations.
Even though he didn't know anything about Chu Huan's tactics before, at this moment, he had completely understood Chu Huan's plan.
Chu Huan's siege of Xu Chang's headquarters in Huangling was to lead the main force of Liaodong here, so as to determine the location of the battlefield and occupy the geographical advantage, Chu Huan had already made various preparations here.
He was a little surprised in his heart, for the chest mirror to play a role, there must be sunlight to appear, but there has been no sunlight all along, how did Chu Huan know that the clouds would disperse today?
But in an instant, he understood that this time he didn't take the initiative to fight, in fact, he always wanted to avoid the battle and retreat, he was very suspicious, if the rising sun did not rise today, Chu Huan was likely to use other excuses to delay, for himself, if he could not fight, Chu Huan did not want to fight, and he would never easily fight a decisive battle with the Northwest Army.
Chu Huan gave a war letter yesterday, and the deadline for himself was this morning, and the choice of this time was naturally carefully planned, with his back to the west and facing the east, and only when it was still raised, could the chest mirror play the greatest role.
The time, location, and even the time of the decisive battle were all occupied by Chu Huan, and the Liaodong Army seemed to have been led by Chu Huan from the beginning, so it is no wonder that the current situation has arisen.
At this time, Kou Ying's heart was already extremely cold.
The logistics grain and grass were secretly attacked by Chu Huan, the battlefield situation was precarious for the Liaodong Army, Huangling was even set on fire to the mountain, and even he was already trapped in the battle array and it was difficult to get out, Kou Ying finally understood at this time that the rumored Chu Huan really had a trick that did not match his age, and it was no wonder that this person was able to annex the northwest and go out of the customs to dominate the world.
Kou Ying's heart was cold, and the hearts of many Liaodong cavalrymen were even colder.
They met a real enemy today, I thought it was a desperate fight, but the other party's strange equipment, so that the battlefield situation almost appeared one-sided, on the battlefield, a large number of Liaodong cavalry corpses are all over the place, Kou Ying certainly discovered the mystery of the chest mirror, but many Liaodong cavalry have never seen such a mirror, is it dazzling by the light, only thought that the other party was performing witchcraft, the heart was already a little panicked, and then saw that Huangling was already raging, most of the soldiers have felt that the general trend has gone, today do not say victory, I'm afraid that even my life will not be saved.
