The soldier who inquired about the news listened to Hu Chuquan's order and said hesitantly: "Da Shanyu, every trap laid by the Shu army must be useful. If we rashly dig out the wooden piles on the ground, will there be any danger?
Is it dangerous?”
Hu Chuquan cursed loudly: "The danger of fart is just a few wooden stakes, and it scared you. Think about it for yourselves, are you still a warrior of the Huns?" After saying this, the soldiers around him stopped talking.
Rush forward quickly to capture the wooden stake in front of you.
"Crack! Crack!"
Soon, the sound of Hun cavalry chopping wood piles came from the front.
Just as the Huns soldiers were working in full swing, a rumbling sound came from the road ahead. Looking around, it was a group of Shu soldiers coming to kill them. Huchuquan stared at the Shu soldiers appearing in front, with a flash of resentment in his eyes.
He was so excited that he wanted to rush forward immediately and capture the Shu army in front. However, there was a wooden stake nearly ten feet away in front of him, blocking his way forward.
The wooden piles ahead looked like a chasm, blocking the road.
Huchuquan was angry and shouted: "The courageless Shu army has the ability to fight with me with real swords and guns."
"Huchuquan, you have water in your head, or you were kicked by a donkey. You are stupid."
There was a burst of sarcasm in front of the wooden pile, and Huang Xu led his soldiers to fight over. The long knife in Huang Xu's hand pointed at the Wuhuan cavalry and shouted: "Archers, prepare!"
After giving the order, the arriving Shu soldiers immediately dispersed.
The first row of Shu soldiers held bows and arrows and squatted down quickly; the second row of soldiers stood still, also holding bows and arrows in their hands. The two rows of archers aimed at the Hun cavalry opposite the wooden pile.
Huang Xu looked grim and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
"Boom! Boom!!"
A dense barrage of bows and arrows shot out of the sky, shooting at the Huns cavalry who were chopping wood piles.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The bow and arrow hit the soft armor of the Hun cavalry, immediately breaking the armor and piercing into the flesh.
In an instant, shrill screams rang out one after another.
The distance between the two sides was very close, only more than ten feet. The bows and arrows were shot out quickly and with great force, causing countless Wuhuan soldiers to fall to the ground. Even some of the horses were hit by the bows and arrows, and they were running around like crazy.
, causing the formation of the Huns cavalry to become chaotic again. A round of bows and arrows was fired, the archers in the first two rows retreated, and the two rows of archers stood up again, setting up their bows and shooting arrows.
Round after round of bows and arrows were shot out, like locusts passing by.
Seeing that the death rate of the soldiers was too high, Hu Chuquan shouted helplessly: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"
Huchuquan stared at the soldiers of the Shu Army, his eyes were splitting, and his teeth were itching with hatred. However, there were dense wooden piles blocking the road, hindering the cavalry charge, so he could not rush through, and with the intensive bows and arrows coming, he could only
Can retreat.
The Hun cavalry retreated quickly and out of the range of the archers.
Huang Xu saw that the Huns soldiers had withdrawn, and a smile appeared on his face. If the Shu soldiers and the Huns cavalry were to fight head-on, the Shu army's infantry still lacked a certain amount of firepower and would be difficult to win. But if you want to defend, you have plenty of means. Wait for the call.
Chu Quan led his troops to retreat, while Huang Xu left a few soldiers to guard him, and then led the army back to the camp.
Returning to the camp, Huang Xu laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Pang, you two are really amazing. You designed the traps one after another, causing the Huns cavalry to suffer heavy losses. I admire you, I admire you!"
Zhang Liao also had a smile on his face, very satisfied.
Today's battle not only blocked Huchuquan's attack, but also greatly defeated the majesty of the Huns' cavalry, and even killed and injured thousands of the Huns' cavalry. This was an incredible result.
Winning without spending a single soldier is already pretty good.
Pang Tong rubbed his furry chin and said: "Huchuquan has suffered repeated setbacks and will never give up. After returning this time, he will definitely come back again, and he may use fire attacks."
"Fire attack?"
Huang Xu blinked and immediately figured it out.
The wooden piles blocked the road, and the Huns' cavalry could not rush over. Attacking with fire could burn the wooden piles in front of the road. Once the wooden piles disappeared, the Xiongnu troops could continue to advance and attack the Shu army camp.
Zhang Liao asked: "Shi Yuan, what do you have in mind?"
Pang Tong pondered for a moment, with a wicked smile on his face, and said: "General Zhang, when we led the army to the north, Ma Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, considered that there was no cavalry in the camp to resist the Huns cavalry, so he gave us many weapons. One of the weapons was gunpowder.
.In that case, why not use gunpowder?”
Zhang Liao frowned and said: "Shi Yuan, when Taishi Ci and Gan Ning went to battle, they took away some of the gunpowder. There is not much gunpowder left in the army."
Gunpowder is not the same as bows and arrows. Bows and arrows can be produced in large quantities, but gunpowder needs to be saved, so Zhang Liao was extremely economical.
Li Ruxiao said: "General Zhang, our goal is to annihilate the Huns' cavalry. As long as we can annihilate the enemy, we can do it. We have repeatedly defeated the Huns' cavalry and damaged the morale of the Huns. If the Huns get a chance,
The previous arrangements will immediately come to naught. Now is the time to use gunpowder. We must hit Huchuquan to be frightened and make the Xiongnu soldiers fearful and afraid to attack. This is the best strategy."
Zhang Liao nodded and said: "As per Shiyuan and Mr. Li's instructions, you can start dealing with it."
Pang Tong and Li Ru nodded and began to plan this matter.
…
Hu Chuquan led his troops back to the camp angrily. He was limping when he walked. Especially because Hu Chuquan's two buttocks were injured, and his left foot was stabbed again. He could only stand on his right foot.
It was even more uncomfortable to be supported and unable to sit.
After returning to the camp, Huchuquan bandaged up his body before finding Fang Ming.
Fang Ming looked at the livid-faced Huchuquan, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the Great Chanyu!"
Huchuquan snorted and said angrily: "I led my army to attack the Shu army camp, but encountered traps repeatedly and suffered setbacks. This time, I was first ambushed by a large pit set by the Shu army, and then encountered another enemy.
The small pit dug by the Shu army finally encountered wooden piles blocking the road, and was shot by the Shu army for a while. Morale was frustrated. This was your suggestion, but it was resisted by the Shu army. Tell me, this is
What's going on? If you don't do it well, I will drag you down and chop you down."
Fang Ming said: "Great Chanyu, although the army suffered a setback, my servants thought that they had clearly seen the true nature of the Shu army."
"What essence?" Hu Chuquan asked immediately.
Fang Ming said with a smile: "Da Chanyu, if you think about it carefully, if the Shu army is powerful, it will definitely compete with Da Chanyu in a battlefield. But the Shu army did not dare to fight, and instead played tricks
Conspiracy, this must be done because the Shu army is defeated by the Great Chanyu. As long as the Great Chanyu leads his army into the Shu army camp, they will definitely win in one battle. Great Chanyu, this is a good thing, as long as the Great Chanyu leads his army into the Shu army camp,
If you rush over, you will win."
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Hu Chuquan nodded and agreed with Fang Ming's words.
Immediately, Hu Chuquan said again: "Fang Ming, what you said makes sense, but there are wooden stakes stuck on the road ahead, blocking the way. Even if I want to kill them, it will be difficult to reach the sky. Especially
Once we send soldiers to destroy the wooden stakes, the Shu army will immediately shoot their bows and arrows, making it difficult to succeed!"
Fang Ming smiled and said: "Big Chanyu, it is easy to break the wooden stakes."
Hu Chuquan waved his hand and said, "What can we do?"
Fang Ming said: "To deal with the wooden stakes, the natural choice is to use fire attack. Just send a few soldiers to the wooden stakes, throw down countless hay, and then let the soldiers shoot rockets. Once the fire is gone without the wooden stakes, you can continue to move forward.
"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Hu Chuquan praised him repeatedly, with a look of joy on his face.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Pang Tong and Li Ru had already calculated their next move.
