Chapter two hundred and fifty eight traps
Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen rested for half a day and led the two armies to try to hedge along the Baihe North and South, rush into the formation in one fell swoop, completely destroying the Jingzhou army. Wang Guangen chose to attack from north to south.
Wang Guangen's eyes were very vicious. After coming to the river, he sent someone to explore and found that the river was covered with yellow grass, which was very lush, about a foot high. After stepping on it with his feet, it was indeed extremely hard. Although the river surface was frozen, it was not enough to bear the weight of people.
Although these messy grasses have some impact on horse speed, they have little impact.
Wang Guangen sent a scout cavalry to approach the semicircular formation to find out the details of the battlefield. However, the scout cavalry was about two miles away from the semicircular formation, and was firmly blocked by the cavalry whistle of the Jingzhou Army and would never allow the scout cavalry to approach.
After thinking about it, Wang Guangen felt that the river was filled with caltrops, antlers and other things. Although some people would be killed or killed, the impact was not great.
Is human life worth nothing in the eyes of the bandits? Is it necessary to hesitate for some cheap life?
So, Wang Guangen made up his mind and urged his troops to move forward and stopped two miles away from the semicircular formation. As soon as the horses stopped, they heard a few thunder sounds, and the cavalry were shot by the thunder cannon. The shells were very accurate, but occasionally they could shoot the shells onto the cavalry's heads. Wang Guangen had no choice but to order the cavalry to retreat two hundred steps.
Given that the impact point is extremely narrow, Wang Guangen divided the first batch of attacking cavalry into six groups, with each group of about 500 knights. His intention was very obvious, which was to quickly break through the semicircular formation through uninterrupted impact, causing the formation of the Jingzhou Army to collapse and fall into a situation where he could only be beaten but not fight back.
The knights changed their horses. With Wang Guangen's order, the first group of knights activated the horses under them and began to accelerate slowly, but the speed was not fast. After the first group of knights left about two hundred steps, the second group of knights began to set off. In this way, waves of knights set out in full swing, and the battle was about to begin.
As the knights kept approaching the semicircular formation, they were finally hit by the thunder cannon at a distance of 600 steps. Wang Guangen had already advised the knights to immediately disperse their formation and stretch apart apart. Even so, the power of the flowering bullet was not just a matter of talking about it. Dozens of knights were still lifted off their horses and lost their lives. The horses that lost their riders had very spirituality and ran to both sides, the farther away from the crazy humans, the better.
The rumbling sound of cannons continued. Soon, the frontier positions were shrouded in smoke, and they could only see the figures and shield chariots on the opposite side. The knights had long been scared by the cannons, and they tried their best to urge the horses, shouting in unison, and running towards the enemy formation like sharp arrows.
As they rushed, some knights suddenly jumped up from the horse's back, like a big bird. Then, they hit the ground like a dead object, and were knocked to death and could not get up for a long time. Some knights were unlucky and died when they hit the stone.
The horses under him lost their front hooves and rolled on the ground, making waves of wailing sounds.
Obviously, the Jingzhou army dug a trap on the road ahead.
How can you scare the bandits who have been through many battles when trapped in a horse pit? The remaining bandits still lowered their bodies and held their sabers to charge forward without even blinking.
It's close... It's close, only 120 steps...
"Kill..."
The knights roared, as if they were encouraging themselves and as if they were encouraging their companions... The horse seemed to know the owner's mind, let go of his four hooves and ran hard.
Suddenly, a series of dull sounds of collisions came, mixed with the screams of the people before their death. What's going on?
The knights who were following the horse's butt suddenly found that the knights in front disappeared. Before they could figure out what was going on, the knights suddenly found themselves flying with the horses. At this time, the knights finally understood that there was a trench two meters wide under him!
After seeing it clearly, life has reached its end. With a bang, the man fell into the trench. Obviously, the chance of survival is not great. After all, the trench is filled with all kinds of sharp objects.
Finally, a knight saw the trench clearly in advance, and was suddenly shocked. He grabbed the reins desperately and tried to stop the horse. However, how could a horse with a speed of up to 120 miles per hour stop instantly? So the horse took the knight down the trench and was poked into a cold heart by a sharp object.
Some knights were quick-responsive, pulling the reins to the left or right desperately, trying to make the horse change the direction of running. This method worked quite well, and finally did not fall into the trench immediately. However, they inevitably collided with other knights and still rolled into the trench.
Some knights were lucky and did not collide with other knights, but were hit by crossbow arrows like locusts, and were instantly shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground.
The thunderbolt cannons are still firing, just like they don’t need capital, and the smoke is getting thicker and thicker. The second batch, the third batch... the knights burst into flames and still rushed forward. However, the trenches were like natural chasms, becoming a gap that they could not cross.
A series of screams that were higher than a wave of high finally awakened the knights behind. Out of instinct, they slowed down their horse speed and gradually gathered in front of the trench. The knights who had just been glad that they had escaped were shot by crossbow arrows again, with heavy casualties.
The knights no longer cared about Wang Guangen's order to attack desperately, and fled back one after another. After another artillery fire attack, they finally reported the situation on the front line to Wang Guangen.
Wang Guangen was stunned and immediately ordered the cavalry to stop attacking and retreat with great strides...
At the same time, Liu Zhe also rushed from south to north to the semicircular formation. Liu Zhe's luck was obviously worse than Wang Guangen. The Jingzhou army ignited a pile of smoke, which spread south along the north wind, causing the knight's sight to be worse. Therefore, Liu Zhe's casualties were even more severe!
In this war, Wang Guangen and Liu Zhe lost more than 3,000 knights, plus more than 1,000 knights half a day ago, the two lost more than 40% of their troops within one day. The Jingzhou Army had no other losses except for a flowering bomb that exploded, killing artillery soldiers and more than 30 auxiliary soldiers!
In fact, when Liu Zhe first confronted the Jingzhou Army, the Jingzhou Army had no time to make any arrangements by the river, and there was nothing else except throwing some caltrops and antlers.
After Liu Zhe was bombarded by Pili, the Jingzhou army seized the time to dig down horse pits and trenches, hiding them in the chaos of grass. In order to prevent the bandits from discovering in advance, they even ordered the cavalry to stop the reconnaissance cavalry from approaching regardless of the cost. Later, they fired shells regardless of their capital to kill and injure the enemy cavalry and block the enemy cavalry's sight.
This strategy aims to consume the live power of the bandits, and accurately grasp the bandits' psychology one by one. Since the battlefield blockade of the Cavalry Camp was excellent, the bandits did not know that the Jingzhou army had a large number of artillery attacks, and suddenly encountered a violent blow from the flowering bullets. There was no other possibility except retreat. Setting up a semicircular formation, with real in the virtual and virtual in the real. Even if the bandits cannot be attracted to attack along the river, it can ensure the safety of the army.
The Jingzhou Army killed more than 5,000 enemies with extremely weak losses. After Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen retreated, the Jingzhou Army almost fell into madness. The soldiers almost regarded Lin Chunhong as Zhuge Liang, who had reborn, and worshiped him. The generals were not much better, and all kinds of flattery rushed towards Lin Chunhong like water.
"The army gate predicts the enemy's initiative and sets up many traps. Since the Jingzhou army was established, the results of this are the result..."
This statement is quite elegant and rude: "The idiot of the turtle son, if I want him to jump into the bamboo thorn, they will jump, haha... I'm stupid enough to grandma's house... The military gate is so calculating... Damn, if they dare to come again, they will never let them go back..."
This person is obviously a Sichuan soldier, and he is also disgusting: "Zhuge Liang is reborn and can't catch up with the military gate! The military gate is Grandpa Yue who is reborn... No, he is a hundred times stronger than Grandpa Yue..."
Lin Chunhong could no longer listen, interrupted his subordinates' flattery, and replied with a wry smile: "The bandits do not know our strength, nor do they know the power of our artillery, so that they can enter the trap. However, they can only come once and must not become the method of the whole world..."
After saying that, Lin Chunhong turned to the north and sighed: "If there is a cavalry camp here this time, it is impossible to say that the more than 10,000 bandits will be wiped out..."
"Then the order to Sheng Kunshan and immediately lead the cavalry camp into Nanyang City for rest..."
...
After Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen withdrew from the army, they understood the Jingzhou Army's plan after a moment of thinking. The two of them were full of anger and could not vent their anger. The target of venting their anger was aimed at the surrounding people. In a moment, several villages were devastatingly massacred and almost turned into white land.
Lin Chunhong ordered the Jingzhou army to maintain their ego and slowly approach Nanyang City, squeezing Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen to the north continuously.
Liu Zhe was very angry and tried to bypass the Jingzhou army and cut off the supply of the Jingzhou army, but was stopped by Wang Guangen. Wang Guangen knew that the Jingzhou army was only twenty miles away from Nanyang City, and could easily obtain supplies from Nanyang City. Cutting off the supply line would not help in the war, and it was very likely to be surrounded and suppressed by Tongbai archers and Jingzhou army.
When Lin Chunhong was still ten miles away from Nanyang City, Lin Chunhong ordered his army to set up camps and form a mutual support with Nanyang City. This move completely cut off Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen's possibility of revenge. The two had no choice but to lead their troops north and join Gao Yingxiang's main force before making plans.
However, before the two set out, they were angry with Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang scolded the two for losing their troops and making meritorious service. At the same time, Gao Yingxiang ordered the two to block the road to enter Nanyang City. Gao Yingxiang also threatened the two that if the Cavalry Camp enters the city, they would have to settle the new and old accounts together!
The Cavalry Camp was in full swing in Fangcheng and finally angered Gao Yingxiang. When Gao Yingxiang received the news of Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen's defeat, he finally gave up the long-term plan of using Lin Chunhong's head as a urinal and tried to gather heavy troops to wipe out the Cavalry Camp.
The weak cavalry camp finally ushered in the most severe test...
