Li Jing stared at the battlefield, this camp was backed by the Baishui Lake, in fact, the so-called siege of the Hu people could not be encircled in the north, there was a vast lake over there, and the Lakers could not besiege the wide lake without boats. However, although the Qin army had a small number of ships, Li Jing could retreat from the lake at any time, but it was impossible for all 20,000 horses to retreat from there.

It's a back-to-back battle.

Now, Li Jing asked the four-way ambush soldiers to continue to standby, but he wanted to use 20,000 against the attack of 70,000 Hu soldiers. This is an extremely dangerous thing, and Gongsun Lan and the others are all surprised. But he quickly understood the reason for Li Jing's choice, and at this time, let the four-way ambush attack, which can defeat the Hu people, but it is difficult to annihilate the Hu people. The reinforcements in the back will have to take time to arrive one after another. Li Jing wanted to buy more time, drag these Hu people here, and wait for more soldiers and horses to be surrounded.

It was a risky decision to use oneself as bait, twenty thousand against seventy thousand. This is not Yunzhou, there are no strong city fortifications, there are not enough troops, and there are not even strong men to help defend the city. The only thing they had was more than 20,000 soldiers, as well as a large amount of gunpowder and flying thunder cannons.

Gongsun Lan clenched her fists, and nodded her head after the most reluctance. Li Jing's plan is a little crazy, but war is like this, and he is always taking risks, but he believes in his man and the commander of the whole army.

Fifty miles away, Li Wei and Wang Zhong and the other four generals received the Flying Eagle Transmission almost at the same time.

"Continue to stand by in place, pause sorties, and prohibit exposure!"

Wang Chong looked at this handwritten military order written by Li Jing with a solemn expression. The heart is full of worry. This is to implement Plan B. This post-plan has been discussed earlier. Once the follow-up troops and horses cannot arrive on time, and there is no possibility of total annihilation, this plan B will be implemented to gain time.

"Commander, Your Highness is bait, this is too dangerous." A general said.

"This is His Highness's military order, and it must be obeyed, at this time. We have to trust the manager's decision. Wang Zhong said solemnly, "However." He sighed, "Send a team of scouts to carefully approach the battlefield to reconnoitre, keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield at any time, and if the situation is unfavorable, we will attack immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Li Wei and other three-way generals almost all made such a choice, Li Jing is not only the king, he is also the commander of the whole army with absolute authority, and no one can disobey his orders. Because. Over the years, no matter how difficult the situation. The decisions made by the King of Qin were always right in the end.

After the military orders were handed down, the Qin army in the battalion began to adjust its deployment, and made a battle plan according to the code name B drawn up by the staff officers in advance. At this time, the 20,000 Qin troops not only did not send all of them to the position, but began to withdraw one-third of their men and horses one after another, and only about 2,000 soldiers each were left on the three positions.

The flying thunder cannons in front of the three-sided formation began to fire one after another, but most of them were still test firing, and only one or two guns were firing at each of them, but when they converged, there were also one or two hundred flying thunder cannons bombarding, and it sounded like the Qin army was fighting back with all its might. The 30,000 men and horses on three sides led by the three sides of the three heroes were accustomed to these artillery fire at this time, and the formation was not greatly affected.

The tribal warriors braved the artillery fire, and they saw that the Qin army only had a simple wooden fence, although there were a few more ditches, but they did not pay attention to it. If it was a city wall like Yunzhou, they might be worried, but such a wooden fence was very easy for them to deal with.

Under the order of Yelu Shilu, under the banner of the Hu people's Chinese army, a hundred cowhide drums were beaten at the same time, and a long horn also whined. A full 30,000 Hu cavalry attacked from three sides, and they crossed the wilderness plain, densely covered with wilderness, and Li Jing in the camp could clearly see their formation. These Hu people have also become much smarter, they adjusted the array this time, no longer charging in a neat array, but charging in the cavalry formation that the Hu people have always been accustomed to, all over the field in front of the camp, but they are far away from each other.

After the 10,000-strong array to the south of Bara, Yelu Gonggu only personally assembled 20,000 troops, obviously ready to meet Bala's offensive at any time, and the overall battle plan was still very simple middle assault, and the old tactics of outflanking the two flanks.

The array of the Qin army was also adjusted, and at the front were a thousand soldiers, standing in the trenches, with a breast wall made of mud for digging trenches in front, they were holding spears, crossbows, and longbows, and around them were distributed thunderbolts. A little behind them were two artillery battalions of 1,000 men, armed with 100 flying thunder cannons, and 50 catapults, 100 three-bowed and eight-oxen crossbows, and 200 double-man crossbows. For the Qin army, it was the first time that an artillery battalion was used on such a scale. For this battle, Li Jing personally recruited this time, and almost brought more than half of the firearms inventory in the arsenal.

Behind these artillery battalions, Li Jing also arranged a cavalry battalion on each side to stand by as a reserve to support the battlefield in front at any time. This cavalry is not only a reserve, but also a commando, if the opportunity arises, Li Jing will not hesitate to throw them into the battlefield and counterattack.

Although it was outside the fortress, the weather in July was still extremely hot, and although the cuirass of the Qin soldiers was strong, it also had the disadvantage of being breathable and stuffy. In the high temperature, the two armies were in high spirits, and they both became angry.

With the full attack of the Hu people, Li Jing finally waved his arm, the flag of the king of the Chinese army waved, the starting cannon sounded, the military band began to beat the agitation, and the trumpeters blew the brass trumpets.

The whole army shouted long live the King of Qin, and the bloody battle began.

Li Jing stood in the arrow tower, his eyes stared at the battlefield, his face was calm, but his heart was also full of nervousness, the enemy was outnumbered, the disparity between the forces of the two sides, he pinned his hopes on the first large-scale use of the artillery team, and he didn't know what the outcome of the road would be. After all, these cannons are not the powerful cannons of later generations, these are just black powder, which is effective and can only be replaced by weight, but it is the same as a catapult. In such a large-scale battle, it remains to be verified what kind of results these artillery battalions can achieve in the end.

The equipment used to defend the city in the field as offensive firepower was also a pioneering era.

The Tiger of Murowei, Bala, served as the heavy task of the breakthrough of the Chinese army. With the rumble of war drums. He galloped on horseback. The wind whistling in his ears was warm, and beads of sweat continued to bead on his forehead. But it's not because of fear or fear, but because the whole body armor on the body is too breathable. The cannon just now made Bala still a little afraid of artillery fire, so this charge, he put on a piece of Qin army officer's full body armor that he grabbed when he went south.

I did feel a lot safer in this armor, but it was just too hot. It was July, and there was a big sun on my head.

The afternoon sun scorched the earth, the sweat from his forehead burned his eyes, and the Qin army on the opposite side did not come out to meet the battle, not even in formation. They all hid in a trench behind a wall of earthen walls, like a pack of rats. These southern barbarians, in addition to fighting cannons or digging holes, don't they dare to duel like men in a dignified manner?

The Qin army's cannons rang out again, this time, dozens of cannons were ringing. Moreover, there are occasional fires from trebuchets and ballistas. But. After the initial panic, it wasn't so scary. After they launched a scattered formation galloping charge, the Qin people's artillery crossbows were not so lethal. Although there were too many people attacking, every time the Qin army's ballista fell, most of them could hit people, but they only hit one or two people at a time, and it was impossible to kill dozens of people at once like the first cannon.

What he was faintly afraid of in his heart was not the cannon of the Qin people, but the Li Zi royal clan in the camp. Even for the Murowei soldiers who are far away in Mobei, Li Jing's name has been resounding all over the Mobei grassland in recent years. They don't know what Li Jing did in the Central Plains, but Li Jing crossed the Liao River and entered Liaodong, collected the strength of the Han people in southern Liao, destroyed the restored Goguryeo people, annihilated the Bohai army in the south, and beat the Khitan and Xi again and again.

Among the many rumors on the grassland, Li Jing is the kind of fierce person who is three feet tall, weighs a thousand pounds, and has three eyes. His weapon was a three-hundred-pound broadsword, and his mount was a dragon with horns on its head

In short, in Mobei, if a child is disobedient, he directly says that he will give him to Li Jing, which will immediately make the child very well-behaved and have the effect of stopping the crying of children.

Bara naturally knew that Li Jing couldn't be such a monster, but Li Jing's great military exploits would not be fake, and he was always a little uneasy to fight against such a guy who defeated those strong races in the Northeast such as Goguryeo, Ya, Khitan, Xi, Tatar, etc.

As he got closer, Bara had already taken off his riding bow, a three-hundred-pound bow, and it was with this three-hundred-pound strongbow that no one in the tribe could hold up, he was given the title of the Tiger of Murowei. Damn the Southern Barbarians, don't think that your cannon is amazing, and now, let you also compensate our Murwei people for their bows and arrows.

Again it was within a distance of three hundred paces, which was within the range of the Qin Army's flying thunder cannon. Barra heard a whistle from the opposite side, and then several flags waving in front of him. He immediately understood that this was the other party's artillery attack. When in Yunzhou City, the defenders of the city used the command flag to direct the artillery bombardment. This time the situation was similar, the Qin people put the flying thunder cannon in the trench, only revealing the small half-leaning barrel into the air, and the gunners behind couldn't see it at all.

Flying Thunder Cannon, this thing is amazing. Small and lightweight, but able to shoot so far, how did the damn Qin people come up with this thing?

Barra's eyes narrowed, he didn't like this way of fighting. Fighting an invisible group of enemies always makes him feel uneasy. These Qin people are really strong, only 20,000 people, surrounded by 70,000 cavalry, and they still don't escape. If it was on the grassland, no matter which tribe, in the face of such an endless cavalry group, it would have fled without a trace.

Although he was faintly uneasy in his heart, the drums of war were still ringing, and the horns of the charging bull were also whining, and he couldn't stop. Perhaps, although the Qin army's artillery is powerful, without the defense of strong fortifications, they can break through the enemy camp in one fell swoop.

Zhao Zhang's one was in front of the two round artillery battalions in the south, and when two artillery battalions went out to fight, his was lined up in the front trench, and there were two battalions of soldiers in front, they had student soldiers, township soldiers, unity soldiers and Fan soldiers, all of whom dismounted at this time and leaned in the trenches as the front row protection of their artillery battalions.

In the beginning, the artillery battalion in the Qin army was only assigned to the first-class middle school, but now the artillery battalion is becoming more and more important. On the one hand, it began to equip all naval divisions and army units. At the same time, it is becoming independent. Like this time. Although the artillery battalions did not have a larger establishment, the various artillery battalions were separated from the original army and assembled for use together. Eighteen artillery battalions, what a huge number.

Zhao Zhang stood in front of a medium-sized catapult holding an observation scope, which could throw a hundred catties of weight to a hundred paces away, although it was not as long as the range of the flying thunder cannon, but it was better than the large amount of throwing. He stood on a mound of earth in the trench, and stared at the hurried Hu cavalry in the distance. Many small flags planted on the battlefield. Early reminded him that Hu Qi had already entered within two hundred steps at this time.

He is also a veteran, when the King of Qin was appointed as the general of Shamen Town and returned to his hometown, he was coerced by a group of bandits to attack the village of the King of Qin with the exiles, and was defeated and captured without exception. As a result, the king of Qin not only did not send him to the government, but also recruited him into the artisan camp, with the old skills of carpenters, their family survived, and since then life has been getting better and better. Later, he was also transferred from a craftsman to the Ordnance Bureau, and later became a sapper for catapults, and later. He became an independent artilleryman again, and he participated in many wars. It can be regarded as a lot of credit, and by now, he is already the commander of an artillery capital. Although compared to those who defected to King Qin together, this little commander was a little unremarkable, but he was still very satisfied. However, he is usually counted down by his mother-in-law at home, and he can't help but want to be fierce sometimes, and also be promoted to a battalion-level officer, get a seven-grade or something, and go home to cheer up his husband.

He is full of confidence in defeating those Hulu, and this confidence comes from his infinite trust in His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Following King Qin, are you still afraid that you won't be able to win the battle?

But in his heart, he was still a little apprehensive, their number was less than one-third of the Hu people. In front of these artillery battalions, there were only a thousand fighters. There were no strong walls, no adequate fortifications, only a few ditches and earthen walls, and if the two battalions in front couldn't stop the Hu cavalry, they artillerymen couldn't bayonet the ballistas, right?

He looked down at the horizontal knife at his waist, and the Zhangerqi spear standing next to him. Although he is an artilleryman, he has also undergone strict training, and the bayonet gun and horizontal knife are both subjects that have been trained for a long time, but if he wants this artillery to command to pick up the knife to fight, it seems a little bad.

It's better to have more trust in the guys in front, he heard the third child say that these are all from the Iron Cavalry Legion in front. The Iron Cavalry Legion is mainly composed of the Wuhu tribe and township soldiers, unity soldiers and student soldiers. These newly descended Hu people are still very fierce, and now they are fighting for the king of Qin, it is said that they are very strong in combat, for these descendants, fighting for the king of Qin, earning a reward for military merits and land, it seems that it is much better than staying at home and facing the loess all day long to serve the crops.

The herald in front of him came with a loud command, and Zhao Zhang waved his hand: "Let's have two cannon battles first!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhang covered his ears, skillfully opened his mouth wide, turned his head and squatted to the side, waiting for the artillerymen to ignite the hundred-pound large explosive bag on the two medium-sized catapults.

"Boom!" The two catapults bounced off at the same time, and two hundred-pound large explosive bags flew out with a roar, drawing a lone line and rushing towards the Hu people in the distance.

"Bang!" The two explosive packets landed a hundred paces away, and burst open with a bang, like a celestial maiden.

"Hahaha!" The few Hu people who rushed to the front originally saw the explosives bag flying, and their faces turned pale with fright, but when they saw the explosives bag landing dozens of steps in front of them, they couldn't help but laugh. Damn Qin Ren, just now when he saw such a large explosive bag flying, he was so scared that he couldn't even jump, who knew that the accuracy was so bad, dozens of steps away.

Is this the killer feature of the Qin people?

Just as the Hu people were extremely proud and laughed at the Qin army's artillery throwing accuracy, at this time, more gunpowder packets were thrown in, but most of them fell dozens of steps in front of them, none of them were neutralized, and no one was killed.

What's going on?

Barra, the Tiger of Murowei, put away the mocking smile on his face, it couldn't have been a mistake. If it is a mistake, it will make sense in one or two clicks, but it is a little strange that so many cannons are so far away at once. What exactly did the Qin people want to do?

A distance of dozens of paces, it was soon closer.

Hu Qi, who rushed to the front, had rushed to the landing point of the explosive bag just now, and they couldn't help but look at the cannon battles just now, but as a result, the war horse under them suddenly screamed and neighed, and then the horse lost its front hooves, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the knight was distracted, and he didn't have time to pick up the stirrups and dismount, and he was suddenly crushed under the war horse, and his whole leg was broken.

After the first horse fell, the war horses that rushed in front of them began to fall one after another as if they were infected with the plague, and one by one the war horses and the knights fell to the ground, screaming and wailing continuously.

"What happened?" Barra was taken aback. Is it a trap?

Is it a trap or a deer's foot?

Many of the cavalry behind did not have time to slow down, and had already rushed over with them, and the battlefield and cavalry that fell to the ground also became a fatal stumbling rope, and the war horses that could not avoid it crashed into it with a bang, and then fell.

Barra desperately grabbed the reins of his horse, and finally stopped before he collided with the fallen horses and cavalry, and he saw that on the ground next to the fallen horses and warriors, there was a black glint shining on the ground. (To be continued......)
