Chapter 143 Drive the wolf to devour!(1/2)

When the army of the King of Xiqiang and Prince Xiangli returned to the Xiu Mausoleum, which was destroyed by them, Xiu Mausoleum was scorched earth, the city walls were damaged, the grass was covered with black and red, and blood could be smelled in the air.

The traces on the ground can also remind people of the tragic wars in their lives not long ago.

After leaving Xiu Tu City, as long as the King of Xi Qiang goes further fifty miles, he will escape into the boundless grassland, and travel thousands of miles, and then return to the base camp Yuezhi City and be completely stable.

With so many resources and population plundered from Wuwei, after an extremely cold winter, the tribe will not be damaged, but will become stronger instead. They will lie on firewood and taste gall. In the coming year, there may be no hope of re-taking Liangzhou.

Although there are nearly 100,000 Qiang and Hu warriors who have been sleeping here forever on the land of Wuwei, their deaths are meaningful, and their deaths have brought about the prosperity of the tribe.

Just as the King of the Western Qiang was gradually breaking out of the defeat of Xiu Tucheng, a black wall appeared in front of him, not more than a wall than a black line.

Looking from a distance, it was a black line, which stretched across the tender green grass, making it look a bit abrupt.

As we get closer, the black line becomes more and more obvious.

About two miles away from the black line, you can vaguely see that it is not a black line or a wall. There is nothing longer than this wall in the world except the Great Wall. In Liangzhou, there is no Great Wall.

This is a wall composed of people and a bronze and iron wall composed of Han people's bodies.

"Well~"

The King of Xi Qiang stopped the BMW under his crotch and stopped, and the Qiang and Hu army also stopped.

At this moment, the King of Xiqiang stared at the human wall in the distance without moving, and didn't know what he was thinking about. It was early morning, and the sky was light and the dew in early spring was thick, mixed with grass and mud, stained on his cloth shoes and penetrated his feet.

The breeze blows gently, bringing the coldness of early spring.

Many Qiang and Hu soldiers subconsciously tightened their leather jackets and curled up.

A hungry beast is the most dangerous, but a beast that eats and drinks is the easiest to deal with.

When a python is hungry, it can swallow a cow, but after he eats it and eats a cow, it will be difficult for him to use its death entanglement to make you pay the price.

This is the army of the King of Xiqiang.

When they had nothing, the Xianbei people who attacked the Xianbei people in Hexi were the most fierce, but when they got the cattle and sheep of the Xianbei people and the women of the Xianbei people, their courage was reduced by half.

After experiencing several life-and-death battles, what I was thinking about was my wife. After the comfortable life, these beasts were like pythons swallowing giant oxes, like tigers with their minions. The danger had greatly decreased, not to mention that to protect the spoils like mountains by themselves, it would distract their energy.

Before they came, there was nothing on their hands, but they were about to leave, and their hands, feet, and backs were all spoils. How could such a person run fast? How could such a hand wield a big sword to kill the enemy?

This is also the reason why the King of Xiqiang stopped.

The prince in Xiangli was covered in bloody armor. He stepped forward and bowed to the King of Xiqiang, saying, "Father, let the child lead the troops to disperse the enemies in front of him and open the way for the King of Father."

The wall in front of me looks long, but not thick. It only looks like only 10,000 or 20,000 people. Tens or 20,000 people dare to be so arrogant and block the army of 70,000 or something. Isn't this seeking death or something?

The King of Xiqiang's eyes flashed, his mouth opened several times, but finally closed it. Finally, he waved to the Prince of Xiangli and said, "The Han people are not stupid. If these Han people dare to disperse so much, they are a taboo in military strategists. If this happens, it will inevitably be a fraud. You must be careful."

Are there any fraud?

The Prince of Xiangli looked at the long line of defense and the grassland where there was no obstacle in front of them.

What ambush is there like this? Are there hundreds of thousands of people hidden behind it?

This is even more impossible. If there are really hundreds of thousands of people, just rush over directly. Where can I use these useless styles?

Moreover, Liangzhou does not have so many troops.

Although the Prince of Xiangli disdained the words of the King of Xiqiang, he still looked at him a little.

Only by being cautious can one survive on the battlefield for a long time.

The prince of Xiangli knew this truth.

After obtaining the permission of the King of Xiqiang, the Prince of Xiangli led 10,000 cavalry to rush forward.

Because of the words of the King of Xiqiang, the prince of Xiangli did not rush up all at once, but was divided into three batches, one thousand people in the first batch, three thousand people in the second batch, and six thousand people in the last batch.

Even if these Han people were dug up under this flat grassland, only a thousand cavalry would die. After you used up all these tricks, what you would be welcomed is our attack like a tide, and such a cavalry attack was enough to destroy this weak defense line.

In the distance, behind the wall, Wang Shuang's eyes were shining with armor. Next to him was a middle-aged man in gray robe.

If it’s not Yang Xiu, who is it?

In addition to these two people, behind them, there were rows of wooden cars.

This is not an ordinary car, but a catapult.

The initial catapult cart structure was very simple. It was a huge lever with a long end loaded with a leather hood or a wooden basket. Dozens of ropes were tied to the short end. When the order was issued, dozens of people pulled the rope at the same time and threw the stones out using the lever principle.

The number of catapults used in the history of Chinese war was probably because Li Xin (the distant ancestor of the flying general Li Guang) attacked Chu. The Chu army secretly prepared a large number of catapults. When the Qin army crossed the river, it suddenly shot at the same time, and countless sharp stones hit the Qin army like dark clouds. The 200,000 Qin army was completely defeated. Later, Wang Jian, one of the four generals of the Warring States Period, led an army of 600,000 to capture the Chu State, which shows the power of the catapults at that time.

The catapults behind Wang Shuangyang Xiu were different from the "Pili car" in the Warring States Period. These catapults were only one and a half tall, and the long pole was only two people long. The most important thing was that the vehicle for placing the stones was very small and could only put down two things as big as fists.

Judging from this era, this is naturally an unqualified catapult. Of course, this unqualified catapult is that before gunpowder appears and after gunpowder appears, this light catapult can really come in handy.

The largest catapult car requires 25o people to pull their hands, up to 8.76 meters long, and shoot 45 kilograms of stone bullets, which can shoot 18o steps.

This light catapult car uses only three people to use the leverage principle, but its range is a hundred steps away. In this era, it can be regarded as a long-range offensive weapon. If these stones are turned into explosives, in this era, this is a world-destroying weapon.

You should know that the ancient 100 steps, if it were replaced by the modern unit system, it would be 156.5 meters. To kill and damage within this range, there were no other weapons except for the powerful crossbow and the catapult cart.

And now there is a light catapult.

Wang Shuang asked someone to form a human wall to cover the catapult behind.

The cavalry charged, and Wang Shuang didn't blink, as if the sound of horse hooves that were so loud that were illusions.

One thousand meters.

Five hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

It was not until the vanguard of the thousand cavalry reached two hundred meters that Wang Shuang's eyes flashed and his hands were swinged at this time.

"put!"

On the light catapult cart, a soldier behind him held a fist-sized gunpowder and pointed the lead, while the two people in front pulled it hard.

Under Archimedes' lever principle, the burning leads shone through a perfect parabola in the sky, and finally fell heavily.

The vanguard of Qianghu cavalry looked at the dark things flying towards him in the sky, thought it was a stone, and cursed inwardly, quickly lowered their heads and lay on the horse.

Bang bang bang ~

The explosive pack had an intimate contact with the horses and the Qiang and Hu cavalry on the horses, but what surprised the Qiang and Hu cavalry was that these things wrapped in cloth and the burning leads outside seemed to not cause any harm to themselves, right?

In the distance, the prince of Xiangli had just had a moment of worry about the dense things in the sky. In his opinion, if the dense things were stones, perhaps these thousand cavalry would suffer heavy losses.

But after seeing the thing falling down, his cavalry suffered almost no loss, and the little worry in his heart also disappeared.

At the same time, the Prince of Xiangli also felt a little wise for his attack in batches.

I want to see what tricks you can play.

He waved his hand gently, and the second group of 3,000 cavalrymen were dispatched.

But at this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

No, it is not the thunder in the sky, but the thunder in the earth.

The simple cloth bags suddenly turned into a fireball, a huge fireball, burning people or objects several meters around. What was left behind was the charred body of a horse, a huge pit that did not even leave the turf.

A thousand cavalrymen suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes in just a blink of an eye.

The loud noise not only made my ears hurt a little, but my eyes were also pricked by the flying sand in the sky and shed tears.

At this time, Prince Xiangli suddenly remembered what he heard from the merchants in Laiyuezhicheng who had been telling him a long time ago.

He said this at that time:

The prince, Cao Chong, son of the Han prime minister, borrowed divine thunder from the immortal and brought the rebels Liu Bei and Sun Quan in one fell swoop.

When I heard this sentence, I thought it was a joke told by the traveling businessman.

There are no immortals in this world, and even if there are immortals, how could he lend you the divine thunder?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have believed that person?

But at this time, the Prince of Xiangli believed it because he saw the divine thunder with his own eyes.

Is it true that even the immortals help the Han people?

The immortals of the Han people helped the Han people, but why didn’t Changshengtian send immortals to help the tribe?

At this time, the prince in the Xiangli was silent and he didn't even know why he had so many thoughts in a short period of time.

When the three thousand cavalry saw this scene, they dared not charge. They immediately stopped the horses and dared not go forward. They turned their horses and looked at the prince of Xiangli.

If the Han people control the divine thunder, how different is it to rush forward like this?

The Prince of Xiangli waved to the three thousand cavalry and signaled them to come back.

Seeing the wave of the Prince of Xiangli, these Qiang and Hu cavalry breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After all, if the Prince of Xiangli really wanted them to die, they would really have to listen.

If you don’t listen to the orders of the prince in the eyes, it is actually not much different from dying, and it is even worse.

If you die, at least your child will be offered by the tribe, but if you disobey your order, your bloodline will not be offered by the tribe.

This is also one of the reasons why the Qiang and Hu warriors are fearless of death.

Looking at the mess in front of the wall, the Prince of Xiangli walked under the horse of the King of Xiqiang and said to the King of Xiqiang: "Father, the Han people are helping with the help of the thunder, and I am afraid they can't rush out from outside."

The King of Xiqiang was motionless, as if he had not heard the words of the Prince of Xiangli. However, the Prince of Xiangli knew that his father had heard it. Because he didn't know what kind of anger he wanted to welcome his father, the Prince of Xiangli lowered his head and did not dare to look at the King of Xiqiang directly.

"Divine Thunder?" The King of Xiqiang sneered and then fixed his eyes on Prince Xiangli.

"Can the Han people borrow divine thunder from the heavenly beings?"

"But...this is indeed a divine thunder!"

"It's just a weapon, a powerful weapon." The King of the Western Qiang said firmly. At this time, stabilizing the morale of the army is the top priority.

"High Priest, do you think so?"

Next to the King of Xiqiang, the high priest's face was covered by a black robe. After a long time, the high priest's voice came.
