Not long after, according to the previous plan, under the organization of Deputy Lieutenant Sima, more than 200 people were prepared.

They were at the bottom of the high slope before, there was a slope to shield them, and the cold wind was not so strong, but now, the first twenty-seven horses stood in a line on the hillside, and the rest of the infantry deliberately stood in the gap to form a human wall, and the icy cold wind could be said to have blocked them all.

However, there was an awe-inspiring look on the face of every warrior, and the cavalry also calmed the horses under their hips, and everyone looked at the bottom of the hillside with solemn expressions.

They were located in a small canyon, below which was an endless plain, the size of at least a dozen football fields, flanked by undulating cliffs, and at the end of the plain there were small figures that were hard to see with the snow.

Everyone knew that at the end of the plain was another gentle slope, and that the little dots that were rising were the heads of the soldiers of the local troops, and that the executioners who were about to take their lives were slowly climbing the high slopes.

Wang Sancai stood at the front, beside him was Lieutenant Sima on horseback, and on the ground behind them, there were battle flags erected high, fluttering with the cold wind.

Compared to the opposite plain, the canyon they were in was relatively narrow, and more than 200 men could barely fill this high slope side by side, and the battle flags planted behind them were just bluffing empty city tactics, so that the enemy would think that there were also equal enemy troops behind them.

"I don't know who Zhou Guo is leading the troops this time!" Deputy Lieutenant Sima muttered.

Wang Sancai listened to it and asked casually, "Aren't all the same people?" ”

"It's different." Deputy Lieutenant Sima said heavily: "Some generals are suspicious. Seeing that there are so many battle flags behind us now, and we are on a high slope and have the terrain, we are generally extremely cautious. ”

"How cautious can you be?" Wang Sancai asked again.

Deputy Lieutenant Sima replied lightly: "Can you be cautious...... They held our line against us to the front of our capital, which was enough to hold it completely. ”

Speaking of this, Adjutant Sima simply said something that Wang Sancai didn't know: "The purpose of the 30,000 troops you see in front is to pass through our current position, and then bypass the defense line in front of our capital from the flank, and support the Zhou troops who are attacking our defense line in front, without the support of these 30,000 people, they will not be able to take our defense line." ”

"It's just that there are more than 200 of us, it's strange that we can stop them." Wang Sancai couldn't help but scoff.

Deputy Lieutenant Sima suddenly smiled bitterly: "It's impossible to block, I just hope that our bluff can play a little role now." As long as it can hold them off for half an hour. It was enough to buy a little respite for the defensive line. ”

"It's unlikely." Wang Sancai took a deep breath of cold air: "We are calculating the time, and the generals of the other party must also be calculating the time, even the most cautious generals cannot keep fighting against us." ”

"Drag it out for as long as you can." Deputy Lieutenant Sima sighed and said, "Calculating the current time, the three teams ahead of us have been dragging them for two quarters of an hour. Otherwise. Two quarters of an hour earlier. They should have rushed over. ”

"How?" Wang Sancai frowned: "How many people are in the two teams in front?" ”

"One hundred per team." Deputy Lieutenant Sima said with a smile: "But they are all cavalry." ”

Wang Sancai was silent for a moment before he asked again, "The terrain in front of us should be wider than where we are, right?" ”

"I see what you mean, there is certainly no chance for their two teams to bluff." Deputy Lieutenant Sima looked at the rising crowd at the end of the front. Said slowly: "Their group of kings and eight lambs of the Zhou Kingdom have been attacked twice in succession, although the losses will not be small, but in such a cold weather, our people are all cavalry, and the blow to their morale must be great." We are the first wave of bluffs, and at least we can deter them for a while. ”

One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, this truth Wang San understands very well, but this tactic is used in the condition that the enemy is strong and I am weak to arouse morale, but the current situation is completely opposite, the other party encounters the first wave of 100 cavalry only have 1 of their 300 people, the second wave of 100 cavalry, and only one of their 300 people, how much damage to their morale, Wang Sancai does not know.

Therefore, how much role the first two teams can play, Wang Sancai and Deputy Lieutenant Sima have no bottom in their hearts.

"We're the last line of defense here, aren't we?" Wang Sancai's tone never showed any nervousness.

Deputy Lieutenant Sima also understood that it was impossible for Wang Sancai to die on the battlefield, and he also understood his lack of nervousness, so he said casually: "That's right, if we can't even delay for a quarter of an hour, the last line of defense in front of the national capital will definitely be defeated." ”

"After the collapse, the national capital will be attacked, right?" Wang Sancai asked again.

Deputy Lieutenant Sima pondered for a while this time before he said: "That's not necessarily, every time they capture a place, they have to divide a lot of soldiers to disperse and occupy the territory, evacuate the people, if they meet a vicious general, they will also condone the rape and killing of soldiers, but it seems that there is no such a bad situation at present, but on the whole, the more places they capture, the more manpower they have to disperse, if they defeat the last line of defense of our Li State, they will not necessarily attack our national capital." ”

"Listening to you say this, the strength of the Zhou State is indeed insufficient." Wang Sancai sighed.

"They don't have enough troops and that's just the reason." Deputy Lieutenant Sima patiently explained: "Our national capital is also the national capital, the most elite forces are concentrated here, they want to capture the fear that it is difficult to do it, Lord Wang, don't forget, the longer the battle line, the higher the requirements for logistics, they have all attacked here, along the way is not only our people are damaged, and they want to capture this last line of defense, their logistics requirements are also very high, many of us think that this last line of defense in front of our national capital is their ultimate goal." ”

"Tell me more." Wang Sancai really doesn't understand these strategies.

Deputy Lieutenant Sima also said impatiently: "First of all, I have already analyzed the problem of troops for you, and then it is. If they fail to defeat our last line of defense, it will already cause the greatest insult to our Li country, and if they attack our national capital again, attrition will be a problem, and it will not play a greater role in the degree of attack, and I am afraid it will cause the opposite effect. ”

Wang San understood the truth of "the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry", although it was very unsightly to use on a kingdom, but it was very appropriate, it was just a matter of attacking the door of the house, and then killing it to force Li Guo in a hurry. Li Guo is probably likely to adopt a strategy of burning all the jade.

Everyone has a "last resort". Although Wang Sancai didn't understand what Li Guo's last move was, there must be a reason why Li Guo was able to stand for so many years without being completely eradicated.

Besides, even if the Zhou State fully occupied the land of the Li State. There isn't necessarily much benefit to be gained either.

The area of the land is wide. But the first thing the Zhou State considered was to eliminate the hostility of the natives towards their kingdom. Then it is necessary to build the economy of the Li State, and these things are no less expensive than a war, and this is a long-term thing.

Now Zhou Jing, the prince of the Zhou State, was deposed and located in the territory of the Li State. It must also be a heavy blow to Zhou Guo.

Do the math, the last line of defense in front of Li Guoguo's capital is estimated to be the final occupation point of Zhou State.

Wang San figured out these things, and then continued to ask Deputy Lieutenant Sima: "You people, how do you feel when you are used as cannon fodder by your own kingdom this time?" ”

Seeing Deputy Lieutenant Sima's contemplative look, Wang Sancai reminded: "The feeling of being abandoned? ”

Deputy Lieutenant Sima shook his head, as if he had thought of words that could describe his mood, and said, "Tranquility." It's only now that my heart is truly at peace. I knew that my destiny as a soldier was just around the corner. ”

Wang Sancai raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled: "Don't feel anything else?" Like what...... Resentment? Unwilling? ”

When Deputy Lieutenant Sima heard Wang Sancai's words, he suddenly smiled: "There may be more at the beginning, but the moment you really face is gone." From the first day of joining the army, every soldier has been mentally prepared for the worst, because we all know that our duty is to defend our homeland, and no matter how we sacrifice, as long as we can defend our homeland and the dignity of our families, it is worth it. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Deputy Lieutenant Sima's face had become very calm: "There must be someone to be cannon fodder, if our sacrifice can be exchanged for the last line of defense, it will be worth it." ”

Wang Sancai suddenly felt admiration for the consciousness of this somewhat inconspicuous guy, at least he was not as cowardly as when he pulled him out of the bed in the morning, full of complaints and evasions, at the moment when he was really facing the arrival of his home, the soldier's military soul that regarded death as his home finally returned to him.

However, Wang Sancai couldn't help but ask: "What if we can't delay it for so long, and the final line of defense is still lost?" ”

"We've done our best, and we're worthy of it." Deputy Lieutenant Sima squinted, and suddenly stared at Wang Sancai: "Isn't there still you, an innate powerhouse?" If you can't kill them, you're going to make them suffer...... What I am afraid of is that the enemy's 30,000 generals are a certain family patriarch, and they also have innate strength. ”

Wang Sancai didn't speak again, and acquiesced to Deputy Lieutenant Sima's words.

Deputy Lieutenant Sima suddenly looked at him, and said to Wang Sancai: "My lord, they are approaching, you should also give the order and beat the war drums." ”

Wang Sancai nodded, and Deputy Lieutenant Sima shouted: "Drumming!" ”

"Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

A thick and loud drum beat was suddenly beaten by the drummer, and each sound seemed to sound in the hearts of everyone, arousing their last trace of blood, and at the same time, it seemed to drive away some of the chill.

The beating of the war drum means the signal to attack, but the rhythm of the drum is slow, in order to remind all soldiers that it is time to prepare for battle, and when the battle horn is blown, it is the moment to take the initiative to attack.

As the drums spread far away, the enemy army was approaching.

Everybody knows...... What followed was a brief bloody storm. (To be continued......)
