In fact, when Wu Jie first proposed to Zhao Yanqin to send 3,000 death squads to block the opponent's reinforcements, Zhao Yanqin thought Wu Jie was talking in his sleep. The number of people was several times worse. If you go to that rapid, you can't even ride.
You can't bring them with you. In this era of cold weapons, if you use three thousand infantry to stop someone else's army with cavalry, isn't this just a dream? What is it?
But when Wu Jie took the mine and demonstrated it in front of Zhao Yanqin, Zhao Yanqin immediately fell silent. With such a magical weapon, it is not impossible for three thousand to block ten thousand.
Zhang Xian brought enough landmines this time, some made of iron and some made of porcelain, and ordered the soldiers to lay them all for more than three miles. Since there were enough people and they were all strong men, it only took more than an hour.
, it’s all done.
Zhang Xian also ordered people to use tree branches to clean up all the footprints on the road quickly, and then lurked on the mountains on both sides, waiting for the enemy to fall into his trap.
At noon, the sentry from the front came to report that the enemy was heading this way quickly and would arrive in less than half an hour.
Zhang Xian immediately asked everyone to prepare.
The surroundings suddenly became silent.
After another meal, I saw at one end of the curve, an army composed mostly of cavalry, moving quickly towards this side. It was dark, like a giant python, hovering among the mountains.
.
Since they were rushing to rescue, they mobilized almost all the cavalry in Yulu City, a total of 6,000 light cavalry and 4,000 leather armored soldiers.
Six thousand cavalry was certainly nothing to the Jin Kingdom, but to Dali, it was a lot.
Zhang Xian led the three thousand Qiang people and crawled in the grass. Those pairs of black eyes were like poisonous snakes, which was intimidating.
Strange? This shouldn’t be the vanguard army!
Zhang Xian originally thought that it must be the opponent's vanguard army, but he looked at it with a telescope for a long time. He found that this army was very large in number. What he saw was only five or six thousand people. You must know that the opponent's total number was only ten thousand.
, this is obviously not the vanguard.
It turns out that the journey from Yucheng City to Jianchang Mansion is not very far. The generation in the middle is under their control, and there is something here that belongs to the territory of Chengji Town, and they are in a hurry, so the leader of the supporting army
, so no vanguard army was arranged. The soldiers were ordered to march at full speed.
This was beyond Zhang Xian's expectation. He quickly whispered to the adjutant beside him: "The other party is not a vanguard army. Go and tell the soldiers that once this army enters the minefield, the mines will be detonated immediately."
"As commanded."
The adjutant quickly climbed to a tree, took out the green flag from his waist and waved it. As he waved, he could see the green flag waving to the left and right, and on the opposite mountain.
There were no telephones these days, so if you wanted to deceive others, you couldn't rely on shouting, so the flag language had spread among the Song army. Wu Jie also brought the flag language to the south, where the adjutant stood, which was the general command office.
After a while, Zhang Xian's order was conveyed accurately.
Zhang Xian used the telescope to observe the enemy's movements again. Visually, he still had 70 steps to go before he entered the minefield.
Fifty steps.
Thirty steps.
Ten steps.
As the enemy troops got closer and closer to the minefield, the atmosphere gradually became tense. Zhang Xian's palms were already sweating. Although he had experienced super large-scale wars such as the Kaifeng Defense War, the Yellow River War, and the Yanyun War,
Those were all commanded by Li Qi, Zhong Shidao, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zongze and others. He was just a fierce general who charged into battle, but this time, he transformed into a commander-in-chief. This battle was important to him
Sex is self-evident.
You must know that Zhang Xian is not yet twenty years old, and Wu Jie dares to let him command such an important battle, which shows how much trust he has in him. Wu Jie knows that Zhang Xian is actually a weakened version of Yue Fei, slightly inferior to Yue Fei.
But he is also capable of literary and military skills, and has the ability to lead. In time, he will surely become famous.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, indicating that the enemy had entered the minefield.
The more times this happens, the more you need to stay calm.
There were beads of sweat on Zhang Xian's forehead. He waited until the enemy army had completely entered the minefield and the entire army was at a corner.
Zhang Xian immediately nodded towards the adjutant, who quickly waved the green flag.
Because the location of the adjutant's station is very tricky, people below cannot see it at all, and can only see it in a few places.
After this order, the Qiang people hiding in the grass immediately used fire to ignite the lead exposed from the bamboo tube.
Chichi chichi!
Once the fuse is lit, it will shuttle through the bamboo tube like a fire snake, but it can be said that it extends in all directions, from top to bottom, and to the ground.
The ground was already burning, but the Dali army was completely unaware. They had no idea that their lives had entered a countdown. Several generals were still shouting loudly, urging the soldiers to hurry up.
boom!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom boom!
In an instant, there was a thunderous explosion, like rolling thunder, one wave higher than the other, rising and falling, continuing for miles, deafening, flying sand and rocks, flying dust, as if the sky was shattering.
"ah---!"
"hiss---!"
The screams and horses' braying could be heard in the thick gray fog.
This landmine is made of the purest gunpowder in the world today, and its explosive power is very impressive. But then again, it is not the same as the landmines of later generations. It can explode people to pieces. You must know that this is the first landmine.
, the main damage to the enemy is those pieces of iron or porcelain that fly out from the ground, like countless sharp arrows, piercing the enemy or the war horse, which can't even be blocked.
In an instant, many soldiers were seen covered with iron fragments and lying in a pool of blood, just like hedgehogs.
This round of bombing was so overwhelming that it almost wiped out the entire Dali army.
Is this an earthquake?
The soldiers in Dali still haven't figured out what's going on. They are all confused because they have never seen landmines and don't know that there are such things as landmines in the world. However, earthquakes happen often here, so some people thought it was an earthquake. Except
Earthquake, otherwise, how could the underground suddenly explode?
Those war horses that had been stored in stock panicked and were not under control at all. They ran around and trampled each other. Some soldiers were lucky enough to escape the mine attack, but they were trampled to death by their own horses. The wide road suddenly changed.
It has to be crowded.
For a moment, in the thick smoke and fog, people fell on their backs.
It’s chaos! It’s chaos! It’s all chaos!
But the army, which was so orderly just now, has now turned into a mess.
The soldiers fled in panic, feeling as if the mountain was about to collapse.
The general leading the army kept shouting, but no one listened to him.
Not to mention these Dali soldiers. Even Zhang Xian and the three thousand death squads were a little stunned, because even Zhang Xian was using this mine on a large scale for the first time. He was shocked when he saw this.
This thing is really fierce!
After Zhang Xian was briefly absent-minded, he immediately woke up, saw the opportunity, and immediately issued an order, ordering the soldiers lying in ambush on both sides to attack the enemy.
"Kill---!"
After giving the order, there were killing sounds from both ends of the curve.
The killing sound also told the other party that this was not an earthquake, but that you were ambushed.
Of course, the Dali soldiers at this time would rather it be an earthquake, because the earthquake will only last for a while. It will pass after it is over, but if they are ambushed, it will not be a while. It is either you die or I die.
Fortunately, Zhang Xian and the others were all infantry and had no impact, otherwise there would be no hope of salvation. But even so, these ten thousand Dali troops were already meat on the chopping block, waiting for Zhang Xian and the others to harvest them.
Before they could recover, hundreds of Qiang people rushed down from the mountain with short spears in their hands, and threw the short spears at them with all their strength.
These Qiang people usually go hunting in the mountains and use short guns to shoot wild animals. This skill can be said to be innate to them.
Hundreds of short guns fell into the smoke with the force of covering the sky and the sun, and disappeared without a trace. Only bursts of screams could be heard.
I could vaguely see short spears thrust into the enemy's chest. It's funny to say that the Dali army was wearing leather armor, so they were easily defeated by these short spears.
At the same time, arrows rained down from the mountains on both sides like a torrential rain, as if the gray mist in the middle had magnetic force, attracting all the arrows.
Zhang Xian arranged 300 short spearmen in front and behind, and 200 archers in each side. However, these long-range soldiers were used for cover. The real killing move was the two thousand axemen.
Under the cover of the spearmen and archers, a thousand axemen were killed on each side of the front and rear, holding big axes in their hands, like tigers descending the mountain, and rushed towards the enemy's camp very smoothly. It was said to be a camp, but in fact there was nowhere else.
What formation is there?
"ah---!"
I saw a reckless man flying up with a short ax and cutting off most of the head of an opponent's soldier. As if that wasn't enough, he kicked him to the ground.
"Get down here."
Then he saw a Qiang man with a ferocious face. He took a big ax and chopped off the horse's head with one blow. The soldier immediately fell down. The Qiang man held the spear that the opponent was stabbing with his bare hands and slashed diagonally with the ax, cutting the man in two on the waist.
cut.
Because there were no horses, Zhang Xian, as the commander-in-chief, did not dare to charge indiscriminately. If he died here, then the three thousand suicide squads who had gone deep alone would be leaderless. But he was lurking in the mountains and saw the scene of these Qiang people killing the enemy.
I can't help but feel my scalp go numb, this is really cruel.
You must know that these Qiang people are born to drink blood, are naturally bloodthirsty, extremely fierce, and have very strong individual combat capabilities. The reason why Yue Fei and others said that these Qiang soldiers cannot fight is because although Qiang soldiers are strong in individual combat, they often kill
When you get angry, you don't listen to orders, and your brain starts to lose focus. But no matter how strong you are, how many people can you defeat? Even a powerful drunkard will still lose his temper after hundreds of bows and arrows.
nothing.
Wu Jie also saw the shortcomings of these Qiang soldiers, which was that they were too scattered. Their unity was based on the premise of clan, not an army. At best, it could only be regarded as a local army, far from being a regular army.
So as soon as he came to Mangkang, he used Li Qi's military training methods to make these Qiang soldiers understand one truth, which is to obey orders.
Over the past two months, the combat effectiveness of the Qiang soldiers under Zhao Yanqin has increased dramatically.
As for the Dali Army, because they were on a curve, they didn't know what was going on behind them. They could only hear the deafening sounds of killing and screams. The rear also didn't know what the situation was like in front. The cavalry were frightened and out of control because their horses were frightened.
, and the terrain cannot be expanded, so that the advantage of the cavalry cannot be used at all. The archers are blocked by the cavalry in front of them, and they are unable to effectively fight back the enemy. The infantry has long been blown up by landmines, and they will not die.
I was also deafened, and my ears could only hear a buzzing sound.
Their will has collapsed and they have no intention of fighting. Many soldiers ran into the mountains. They are all people living here and are masters of the jungle. But the problem is that the mountains are full of hidden archers. One by one will die, and a pair of them will die.
.
When the Dali soldiers saw that there was an ambush in the mountains, their hearts went cold. (To be continued...)
