V. 139 Blocking the enemy
Yin Lei quickly came to Zhao Hongfei's tent, and the guards immediately let him in when they saw that it was Yin Lei. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as he saw Zhao Hongfei, Yin Lei hurriedly said: "General, something is going to happen in Changping." ”
Zhao Hongfei said: "Zongheng, how can you say this?" ”
"Does the general remember the 5,000 people who went from Anxi to Pengzhou Mansion three days ago to ask for help? They must have gone to Changping County, and if I'm not mistaken, the person leading the team should be Pig Seventeen. ”
Zhao Hongfei's face changed, but he said suspiciously: "But Tanma came back and said that these 5,000 people have been under their surveillance, and they have already rushed back with the army, and they can join the 30,000 people from Wuma today, and they will be able to rush back tomorrow night at the latest." ”
Yin Lei shook his head and said, "No...... Tanma only saw 5,000 people entering the city, and then 5,000 people leaving the city, as for whether this 5,000 or the other 5,000 is not certain, and it is ....... ”
Speaking of this, Yin Lei's face changed again: "I'm afraid that this matter is not as simple as it seems, if they are fast enough, they will be able to reach Changping now, tomorrow night...... When they brought back the prisoners from Changping, the morale of the Ziyun army would be greatly boosted, on the contrary, the morale of our army would be greatly reduced, and the reinforcements that happened to arrive from Wuma and Pengzhou at that time also arrived in ....... ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Hongfei still doesn't understand, but I'm afraid that the situation will be reversed at that time, and now there are more than 10,000 Ziyun prisoners of war in the camp of the Dragon Kingdom, and they will have to be guarded by people, and when An Xi and the reinforcements should be combined with each other, they will definitely be defeated.
"Zongheng, according to what you say, it's too late for us to rush to Changping now?"
"Yes, Zhu Seventeen set off from Pengzhou Mansion the night before yesterday, if it goes smoothly for a day and night, he should be able to drive three hundred miles, as long as half of these five thousand cavalry are elite soldiers, our five thousand men and horses left in Changping can't even hold on for half an hour, it's too late to go back now, but since we have guessed their plan, it's ......too late to start preparing now."
Zhao Hongfei said: "There was news from the camp just now, Ziyun has increased the intensity of inspections, and the radius of a hundred miles is full of their spies and secret agents, and the camp and patrol camp have lost a large number of manpower.
It seems that they are looking for General Liu Pingce's main war department, even if they can't find General Liu's main war department, as long as they are sure that they are not within a radius of 100 miles, they can rest assured that they can fight with us. ”
Yin Lei listened to the cold light in his eyes and said: "In this way, we are alone and in a worrying situation, this time Zhu Seventeen has taken the initiative, and our army can't sit still and wait for ......." ”
Then Zhao Hongfei gave an order, and the commanders of each battalion rushed one after another, and it took half an hour before everyone dispersed and returned to the camp.
Soon after, Yin Lei, Wang Qing, Zhang Xi, and Mi Feiyang led 5,000 heavy cavalry, 5,000 light cavalry, and their own 2,000 private troops out of the camp and headed south.
After leaving the camp for more than ten miles, Yin Lei and Wang Qing left the brigade with 3,000 light cavalry and 2,000 private troops to speed up, while hundreds of sentry cavalry left the brigade and scattered in all directions.
Along the way, Yin Lei and the others kept going non-stop and couldn't eat their horses until the end of the day, and the released Tanma sent back the information, and a large number of Ziyun troops appeared more than twenty miles in front of the side, and at the same time, the other party should have also discovered his team.
Yin Lei hesitated for a moment and immediately ordered to expand the scope of exploration, and then he personally brought more than a dozen personal soldiers to inquire about the news, while Wang Qing stayed in place to build camps and fortifications.
More than ten miles later, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the opposite side, Yin Lei looked around, but saw a purple cloud team of dozens of people on the opposite side appeared a few miles away, and when they saw Yin Lei and the others, they also restrained their mounts.
Yin Lei's eyes narrowed, and when the 'Spirit Eye Technique' was launched, he immediately saw that the leader on the opposite side was a red-robed general, and behind him were more than fifty elite soldiers with distinct armor, only the red-robed general had two ordinary ten soldiers beside him, obviously these two should be the other party's camp or patrol people.
With a turn of his eyes, Yin Lei shook the horse and walked around to the side, he wanted to lure the user to chase after him.
Sure enough, the red-robed general on the opposite side saw that Yin Lei wanted to go around to the side without scruples, which was obviously not to take him seriously, this person's face sank, and he immediately waved his hand to press up with his own soldiers.
At this moment, two people dressed as ordinary soldiers next to him quickly whispered a few words to him, and this person reined in his war horse and glared at Yin Lei and went back.
Yin Lei saw that it was a pity to say secretly, but not only did he not go back, but he really bullied the other party's left side and leaned towards his camp.
I don't know if it was because someone admonished him just now, the red-robed general immediately commanded his men to shoot a bow and arrow at Yin Lei and the others.
Yin Lei didn't want to attract too much attention, so he left away with the other party when he took off his bow and arrows.
Soon after returning to the camp, all the scouts replied one after another, and the other party's team turned out to be 50,000 people, Yin Lei couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, obviously the reinforcements from Wuma and Pengzhou Mansion had converged, which made Yin Lei's plans to break each fall through.
So Yin Lei immediately switched to the reserve plan, and all the soldiers began to dig deep trenches to defend with all their might, and at the same time, Yin Lei and 2,000 private troops began to build a horse trap in front of the camp.
Yin Lei's trap is different, it is the original creation of his trap technique that he absorbed from hunters.
These 2,000 private soldiers each hold a wrist-thick log, and a thick hole is inserted in the ground, which is slightly larger than the horse's hoove, and only a few feet deep.
These traps are a hundred times simpler than the traditional trap pits, and more than ten can be laid within a radius of one zhang, so Yin Lei they do not hide it, a small number of enemies can be avoided, and the infantry can also pass slowly, but the cavalry of the brigade can not hide even if they see it.
The ground in April was extremely soft, and the masters could easily insert the log in their hands into a ruler deep without any effort, and half an hour later, with the efforts of the masters, the 'Maginot Line' was laid in front of his camp.
Just after Shen Shi, the ground shook slightly, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and it was obvious that the enemy was already within ten miles.
Yin Lei knew that the Ziyun army also found that there were only five thousand people, 'ten and surround it, five and attack it, and divide it twice', the Ziyun army far surpassed themselves in numbers, and they obviously wanted to eat their own team in one bite.
Wang Qing saw the order, and ordered 2,000 of the 3,000 light cavalry to step through the trap set by Yin Lei on foot, and set up a bow and crossbow array in front of the trap.
Yin Lei hurriedly shouted: "Everyone speed up, it's up to them to stop them today." ”
The two thousand private soldiers listened to it and thrust the log in their hands into the ground, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and the forward light cavalry of Ziyun was already within the range of the naked eye.
Yin Lei looked at the horse trap that extended nearly ten miles on the left and right, and hurriedly returned to the base camp with the 2,000 private troops, as long as he could fight until dark, as soon as the 5,000 heavy cavalry behind arrived, even if there were 50,000 troops on the opposite side, he would not think about Lei Chi one step.
The light cavalry stopped when it spotted the opposite phalanx of crossbowmen, and the light cavalry was not fit to charge.
Then the five thousand light cavalry began to reach out to the flanks in one minute to the left and right, apparently trying to go around to the flank.
Yin Lei saw the secret path and said that it was a pity, if only the enemy could find the trap for a moment later.
In desperation, Yin Lei hurriedly ordered the two thousand crossbowmen to withdraw, although these people temporarily abandoned their horses and became infantry, and they could pass the trap they had set up, but the speed was much slower, and after a while, the enemy army came, and it would be too late for them to retreat.
As Yin Lei expected, this Purple Cloud cavalry soon discovered the trap on the ground.
Soon a group of about ten people came out of the light cavalry, these people dismounted and walked to the trap of the horse for a while, and then went back, and soon the light cavalry of 5,000 people turned their horses and quickly retreated.
Yin Lei saw a slight hesitation and immediately ordered to dig deep ditches on both sides of the camp, only the infantry could pass through this horse trap, but he had crossbowmen, and the other party would inevitably have to pay a heavy price if he wanted to pass through this horse trap area.
The only heavily armored iron cavalry that could resist the crossbowmen was afraid of this kind of horse trap, so if they wanted to attack them, they had to find a way to get around from both sides, and the heavy armored iron cavalry wanted to go around the nearly twenty miles for at least an hour, and then it would be dark.
Sure enough, half an hour later, with the shaking of the earth, nearly 10,000 heavily armored iron cavalry slowly drove over, and these steel torrents immediately stopped before they came to the trap.
At the forefront of these heavily armored iron cavalry, a red-robed general stood in the wind, surrounded by dozens of generals with bright armor around him.
Seeing this person, Yin Lei's pupils shrank, this person turned out to be the red-robed general that Yin Lei met before, he knew that this person was the leader of this 10,000-heavy armored iron cavalry, Yin Lei would not let him go back alive no matter what.
At the same time, the red-robed general also discovered Yin Lei, and a thick murderous aura immediately rose in his eyes, when the eyes of the two met in the air, invisible sparks flew everywhere, Yin Lei's figure shook and immediately stood firm, but the red-robed general's war horse couldn't bear the heavy pressure and couldn't help but take two steps back.
To Yin Lei's surprise, this person did not order the team to go around to both sides, nor did he think of other ways, they quietly spent time with Yin Lei, and for some reason Yin Lei had a bad feeling in his heart.
At this moment, a strong wind blew, a large amount of dust flew up, Yin Lei couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and at the same time, the mount of the heavily armored iron cavalry in the distance immediately stirred, and Yin Lei thought of a way to delay time with a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"Brother Qing, can we bring a gray bottle for defending the city on this trip?"
"It's not a big thing, so we only brought a small amount with us."
"Quickly take out the lime inside, then wrap it in wet mud to make a thumb-sized ball, and then recruit people who practice pure yang exercises to dry it, and go to ...... quickly."
Wang Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately understood Yin Lei's intentions, so he raised his thumb to Yin Lei and left quickly.
Halfway through the unitary hour, the sky sun has begun to fall in the west, and it won't be an hour before the sky will be dark, but the feeling of depression is getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, the sound of dense horse hooves sounded again, and the heavy armored iron cavalry on the opposite side suddenly made a commotion, and then countless light cavalry pierced the rear into the battle team of these heavy armored iron cavalry.
Yin Lei's eyes were so sharp, he immediately noticed that these light cavalry were all holding a bundle of wrist-thick and foot-long logs in their hands, and handed the logs in their hands to these heavy armored iron cavalrymen, and he immediately understood what those light cavalry were doing.
But the trap is one hundred and fifty zhang wide, and Yin Lei's camp is twenty zhang away from the trap pit, even with the strength of the crossbowmen, the lethality of the Ziyun light cavalry close to two hundred away is limited, so Yin Lei can only shake his head and sigh.
A moment later, Ziyun's heavy armored iron cavalry moved, and these heavy armored iron cavalry were already moving slowly, and they had to constantly fill the trap pit on the ground with similar logs in their hands, so the speed was even slower.
In the middle of the heavily armored iron cavalry team, the red-robed general and many generals also slowly stepped into the area of the horse trap, looking down at the horse trap that had been filled under his feet, and the person couldn't help but show a trace of mockery on his face.
"General Xu, you lead the light cavalry to start circling on both sides, General Wang, your 10,000 crossbowmen follow, and after a while, they will definitely send spearmen to meet us, and they must firmly suppress their crossbowmen and spearmen."
Someone behind him immediately responded and turned to leave, and at this time, a veteran general with a beard that was nearly half white took a few steps forward and said, "General Yuan, I see that they seem to be holding on to a fight." ”
The red-robed general sneered and said: "It's okay, they only came with 5,000 light cavalry, I guess they guessed Brother Pig's plan to delay our march, with 5,000 against 50,000, we still have heavy armored iron cavalry, isn't this looking for death?"
Even Brother Pig and I don't dare to think like this, what if they are all elite soldiers for 5,000? As long as we get our heavy cavalry through this pesky trap, I won't have time to make them cry. ”
A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the five thousand light cavalry who had just returned left and right circled the sides of the trap.
It took more than a quarter of an hour for these heavily armored iron cavalry to cross a hundred zhang, and although they were slow, they could pass through the trap in a few moments at this speed, and at that time, with the invincible armor of the heavy armored iron cavalry, they would definitely level Yin Lei's camp before dark.
At this moment, Yin Lei on the temporary camp suddenly shouted: "Ready...... Open the bow and release the arrows ....... ”
Listening to Yin Lei's words, rows of archers leaned out and pulled out their bows and arrows to the heavily armored iron cavalry who were seventy zhang away, and General Yuan in the distance couldn't help but sneer when he saw it, let alone so far, even if you are in ten zhang ****, don't think about hurting these heavy armored iron cavalry at all.
The generals around him showed puzzled expressions when they saw some people, but more people were full of ridicule, and even the white-bearded veteran who had just persuaded General Yuan had a trace of shame on his face.
Immediately, the man with the whiskers and the horse slapped the horse gathered beside General Yuan and said, "General Yuan, I think the Dragon Kingdom team is scared stupid, right?" Actually using bows and arrows against our heavily armored iron cavalry? Not to mention a bow and arrow, it's ....... ”
As soon as this person was halfway through his words, he heard Yin Lei on the other side say in a loud voice: "Release the arrow......." ”
A loud whistling sound was immediately heard in the air, and countless black shadows soared into the air and flew towards these heavily armored iron cavalry.
All the Ziyun generals were stunned when they saw it, because what was flying towards them was not a cold and shining arrow, but all the projectiles flying in the sky were some projectiles, and in the confused eyes of the Ziyun generals, countless projectiles fell in the camp of these heavily armored iron cavalry.
