After hesitating for a while, Xun gritted his teeth and said:
"That's all, I believe you this time!"
"Change the formation and arrange the trebuchets on the two wings!"
The craftsmen who had been prepared in advance responded with a "promise", waved small flags, changed the formation, and arranged the trebuchets on the two wings.
Not only were they arranged on the two wings, they were also arranged layer by layer toward the two wings and prepared fire bombs according to Shen Bing's wishes.
At this time, Li Mu's Northern Goblin Cavalry had appeared at the other end of the wilderness, and Yang Ting did not pay attention to the changes in the rear formation.
However, Chen Wei, the stingy man, realized that the formation was wrong and came all the way madly to order the troops to change back.
Xun then resorted to his usual trick of pretending to be deaf to pass the time.
In fact, when the Northern Goblin Cavalry appeared in Yang Ting's sight, she realized that she had made a mistake.
The Northland cavalry showed no signs of dismounting and forming a formation, let alone charging into the formation.
They were divided into two teams, one on the left and the other on the right, galloping from the flanks without slowing down from the beginning to the end.
Yang Ting secretly thought it was going to be bad:
"The enemy's cavalry is trying to bypass our army."
"The goal is..."
"Great Wall!"
Yang Ting was almost frightened by this idea.
"The Great Wall, Li Mu is going to attack the Great Wall!"
"Why am I so stupid? Shen Bing has repeatedly reminded me that this is Li Mu's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"The target is the Great Wall, so how can it fight with itself?"
"What should we do now? What should we do now?"
Yang Ting was at a loss and ran out of ideas.
Shen Bing guessed correctly, Li Mu's target was the Great Wall.
Prior to this, Li Mu prepared two attack plans.
One is that the Qin army did not discover the ambush.
Then the main force will go straight to Ma Tou Mountain, and on the way they will step into Li Mu's preset ambush circle.
Then……
Then there is no more.
Li Mu would first finish off the main force of the Qin army, and then cooperate with the outside world to capture the Great Wall.
At that time, Yang Duanhe would be unlucky.
Another plan: If the Qin army discovers an ambush, the Zhao army can bypass the main force of the Qin army and attack the Great Wall directly.
The Qin army has left the Great Wall for more than twenty miles.
Qin was an infantryman and Zhao was a cavalryman.
If Li Mu sent out several groups of cavalry to harass, the Qin army would not be able to get back to the Great Wall in a few hours.
However, the Zhao army was able to use the speed of the cavalry to rush to the Great Wall and attack fiercely.
Even if the main force of Qin rushes back in time, it will still have to face the defense set up by the Zhao army.
Watching five thousand fine cavalry passing by from both sides, the Qin army could only stay where they were, helpless.
Li Mu couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on his face and "hum" twice at the same time.
At this time Yang Ting was really panicked, she even shouted in her heart:
"Father, my daughter is unfilial!"
"Not only did I fail to save you, I lost the Great Wall!"
"Once the Great Wall is lost, there is no way to recover..."
However……
Just when Li Mu was feeling proud and Yang Ting was despairing.
Suddenly, several flames shot up into the sky and hit both sides of the formation.
"Let go!" Shen Bing shouted.
The pine fire bombs rose into the air again amidst the sound of aircraft and flew towards the two wings.
Bundles of ignited pine trees rolled down onto the splendens that was half as tall as a man, and instantly ignited wildfires everywhere.
The horses of the northern cavalry mostly fought against the Xiongnu in the grasslands or deserts of Mobei. Never had they seen such a scene.
Suddenly frightened, the formation immediately became chaotic, and some cavalry even fell off their horses...
This is not because the cavalry is not good at riding, but it is common for horses to fall off in an era without stirrups and saddles.
This is also the reason why cavalry usually does not attack infantry squares directly. Even in this era, it was more common for cavalry to dismount and fight infantry.
Yang Ting looked back, who else could it be if it wasn't the gunner?
At that moment, Yang Ting once again experienced the feeling of surviving a desperate situation.
Came just in time!
How could I have forgotten the gunner?
Wouldn't it be appropriate to use fire bombs at this time?
The Northern Goblin Rider was about to turn his horse to avoid the fire, but saw another wave of fire bombs coming from the air.
This wave is actually a linen bomb.
The fireballs flew three hundred steps away like meteors, and after landing, they bounced and rolled along the steep face.
After a while, fire started everywhere, and two walls of fire seemed to emerge from the ground on both sides of the Qin army's formation.
And this wall of fire continues to spread to all directions, and when blown by the wind, it spreads to all directions like a tide.
In fact, Zhao Jun's cavalry could still rush over when the fire was not strong at this time.
However, Li Mu asked his subordinates to blow the horn and forcibly took the cavalry back.
This is not a question of whether the cavalry can charge through, but whether they can all charge through.
So what if I can beat one?
When the fire reaches a large area and cannot be rushed through, wouldn't it be forcibly divided into several sections?
Can the cavalry that rushes through then capture the Great Wall?
If it can't be captured, wouldn't it mean that all the cavalry are involved?
Li Mu asked the generals around him coldly:
"Then the Qin army is really led by Yang Ting?"
The Ministry will answer:
"It's indeed Yang Ting."
After a pause, the general added:
"But according to the spies' report, there is a capable man in the Qin army."
The Northern Army's marching operations have always given top priority to intelligence, so they have already placed eyes and ears on the Great Wall. It is not surprising that they would know some information.
Li Muqi asked: "A capable person?"
The Ministry will answer:
"Exactly!"
"This man improved the trebuchet and designed fire bombs."
"Woniu Mountain was defeated because of this."
"I'm afraid it's the same person who used fire to stop my fine knight!"
Li Mu frowned and asked dissatisfiedly: "Why are you reporting now?"
The general quickly replied:
"General Qi!"
"Just because of this person..."
"He's just a gunnery operator, and his subordinates thought the information was wrong."
"That's why I want to investigate clearly before reporting."
Li Mu snorted:
"What to find out clearly."
"You don't believe that a gunnery operator has such abilities."
"How can intelligence be judged by one's family background?"
The general dared not talk too much, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and said:
"What the general said is true, it is the fault of the subordinates..."
Li Mu waved his hand impatiently to interrupt the general.
At this time, Li Mu had no interest in pursuing blame or fault.
He looked at the Qin army's formation from a distance, and said thoughtfully while stroking his beard:
"Gunner operator?"
"He's actually a gunnery operator!"
"Could it be that he was the one who discovered our army's ambush?"
…
Shen Bing on the other side is not as relaxed and relaxed as Li Mu.
When the Qin army cheered for blocking the Zhao army's cavalry, Shen Bing looked anxiously in the direction of Yang Ting:
"Withdraw the troops!"
“We’ll wait until we withdraw to the Great Wall!”
"If we don't withdraw our troops at this time, why don't we keep them here for the New Year?"
If it weren't for the fact that they were too far apart and couldn't leave their posts, Shen Bing would have run up and yelled at this little girl.
But this time Yang Ting finally reacted.
It didn't take long for the formation flag to withdraw troops to be raised.
The formation for withdrawal is usually a "regular formation", which means the troops are divided into front, middle and rear parts.
Several parts of the retreat covered each other to prevent enemy attacks, and horse-stopping and tripping ropes were also laid out along the way.
It was only then that Shen Bing breathed a sigh of relief:
