"What should we do?!" Han Qinhu suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand.
"Destroy the enemy, defeat the enemy!" Under the leadership of the general and the chief secretary, the soldiers' eyes were bright and clear.
The drums sounded at the next moment, and the soldiers began to form their troops.
"Prepare the trebuchets, prepare the crossbows, line up, and prepare to attack!" Han Qinhu gave the decisive order.
At the same time, at the foot of the hillside in the distance, Liang Rui frowned.
I had put a lot of thought into choosing this battlefield, but who would have thought that Han Qinhu actually had some abilities and could mobilize his morale so quickly.
Looking around again, all the Northern Zhou soldiers had a look of fear on their faces.
Obviously, the opponent's superior strength and high morale have dissipated their geographical advantage.
"Regardless of what these southern barbarians are capable of, we have no retreat in this battle," Liang Rui looked around and said to the Northern Zhou generals, "We can only defeat the enemy or die here!"
"Promise!" The generals also agreed with a roar.
When the northwest was in crisis, the situation faced by Yang Jian was not that tense. He even maintained an advantage over Yu Wenxian on the battlefield in the Central Plains. Therefore, the people sent to the northwest were real elites and diehards. They also knew that their fate was now also
They are already closely linked with Yang Jian, Liang Rui and Xiao Guan, so they have no choice.
The Han army on the opposite side was already surging like a tide, and at the same time, the stone bullets thrown by the trebuchets were aimed directly at the crowd.
He had already learned experience from other battles and was determined not to stay too close to the Han army's trebuchets. Once the stone bullets fell into the crowd, the impact on morale could be imagined, and the military formation would also be difficult to
Maintain stability.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen this battlefield. After all, in this complex terrain, it is easy to defend, but it is almost impossible to attack, especially since Liang Rui, in order to seize key points, almost led the army lightly along the way.
What equipment are you leaving behind?
However, Liang Rui did not expect to be able to attack and repel Han Qinhu, so he just delayed the time. Now, as long as he retreats further, he may be able to leave the attack range of the Han army's trebuchets.
However, Liang Rui must have been disappointed. Rows of trench-filling trucks had been pushed out and filled directly on the front trench, while the Han army soldiers rushed over row by row. More trench-filling trucks followed closely.
Following them, there were also many planks, bamboo rafts, etc., all to enable people to quickly cross these trenches.
In addition to the soldiers, even the trebuchets slowly moved forward along the trench-filling truck.
The craftsmen who opened the road in front tried their best to test the solidity of the land, and then fixed the catapult. Even if there were small potholes, the craftsmen skillfully directed the peasants to level the ground.
The army rushed forward, and the trebuchets were desperately throwing bombs at the enemy.
"Bang!" Stone bullets continued to fall into the Northern Zhou army.
"Not good." Liang Rui frowned.
Something will happen if this continues.
The Han army did not seem to be afraid of their own stone bullets. Of course, their own Pili chariots were also very impressive and would not throw stone bullets at all. They just rushed forward, with the soldiers in the front constantly responsible for building roads, and the soldiers behind
The steps of the soldiers did not stop at all.
The distance between the two sides has become closer and closer, but the Northern Zhou army is scattering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Strengthen the team and fight!" Liang Rui ordered decisively.
If this continues, there will be heavy casualties, and the battle will be lost in an unclear manner.
The Han army was much stronger than he had imagined. This was something Liang Rui had never expected. So now he had no choice but to fight the enemy desperately. Perhaps relying on the terrain here, he could gain some advantage.
He no longer wants to be able to block the enemy, but only wants to demoralize the enemy.
However, judging from the current situation, this does not seem to be an easy task.
The Han army moved very quickly. Obviously Han Qinhu had anticipated the various problems he might face before, so the Han army was also well prepared. This preparation was obviously not only material but also psychological.
Up.
The main reason for the material preparation was that the Han army was going to attack the city anyway, so the army itself carried a large number of siege equipment, and these siege equipment were mainly used to deal with the trenches outside the city. Now these natural ravines
Obviously, it is far inferior. Using trench-filling trucks to deal with these small ravines is nothing more than overkill.
The main reason for mental preparation is that the Han army has already popularized the three-level system of generals, Sima and chief clerks, and the chief clerks who are responsible for inspiring people have already done perfect psychological work. Everything is
It has two sides. An army should be desperate and helpless when facing a desperate situation, but the military god Han Xin did the opposite and turned it into a motivation to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely.
These chief bookkeepers obviously played a similar role. Of course, they did not have the same inspiring ability as Han Xin, but they would sincerely tell the soldiers about the situation they were facing and what they had to do.
When the army, which has been educated in loyalty and patriotism for a long time, heard that they would complete such a great detour, their first reaction was of course pride and excitement, driven by the desire to be loyal to His Majesty and contribute to the great cause of the Han Dynasty to unify the world.
Leading them forward. Therefore, even if they face the current dilemma, they are more eager to actively break through it rather than passively escape.
This is why Han Qinhu only needed one or two short sentences to make these soldiers feel dead.
At the same time, Han Qinhu's attack frequency was also unexpectedly fast.
While Liang Rui was still retreating hastily, the Han army had already begun to charge, and at this time the thunderbolt chariots had just been in place. This was very different from the Han army's usual offensive method that Liang Rui knew.
Under normal circumstances, the Han army would first use thunderbolt chariots and bed crossbows to clear the way, completely suppress the enemy through the absolute quality and quantity advantages of its own equipment, fully depress the enemy's morale and destroy the enemy's formation, and then start to attack forward.
But Han Qinhu obviously didn't do this today.
Through Liang Rui's choice of battlefield and subsequent reaction, Han Qinhu could almost conclude that Liang Rui had carefully studied the Han's fighting methods.
Since Liang Rui has studied that kind of combat method, let him find another one.
The Han army officers and soldiers had no intention of firing arrows, and they went directly towards the Northern Zhou army.
"Fire the arrows, fire the arrows!" the Northern Zhou generals hurriedly ordered.
The crossbowmen, who were pushed and jostled by the crowd and already in chaos, could only fire arrows into the sky desperately. The scattered arrows were not enough to threaten the Han soldiers.
