What's going on? Where did this army come from?" Gao Dailian suddenly felt a little strange.

"I don't know, I've never seen soldiers and horses like this all the time black, it's not good! This army is going to cut off our rear route! Hurry! Stop them!" Yao Rong reacted quickly and immediately made a deployment.

But that's not enough.

The speed at which this army approached was very fast, and in just a moment's battle, the Ba people had already lost more than 30 people.

Then, suddenly, the army disappeared like a ghost.

"The other party is ...... Are you ready to consume us?" Yao Rong gritted her teeth.

......

"Sister, we're here at the right time!"

"Alright, Susu, stop talking, now it's our turn to play!"

"Now, our troops are divided into two lines, 400 people, lined up to meet the enemy, 400 people, charge on the right side, and take the enemy by surprise!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Wei Taiyi saw this scene from a distance, and couldn't help but scolded angrily: "Where did this come from, and it actually ...... It's all women! It's ridiculous! Who is so nonsense? How can there be a woman on the battlefield?!"

"I'll ...... Where did this women's army come from?" Ji Qing said while looking at this army in amazement.

"Tower shield, defense!" Qin Liangyu shouted.

"Yes, open the shield!"

The tower shield, also known as the giant shield, appeared mostly in the early days.

It was used by Roman legions to form tortoise formations, and was often used by Spartan warriors and Zulus, and was used by both sides of the Trojan War. There is a belt on the back, which is carried over the shoulder, and the whole person can hide behind it. The shield is so large that it affects its own movement and is to be discarded when retreating......

Considering that the physical fitness of female soldiers was inferior to that of men, Ling Hao trained a cavalry commando team of 400 people among the women carefully selected before, which was used to make up for the shortcomings of female infantry when they encountered the impact of enemy horses.

After all, although these female soldiers have been rigorously trained, it is the first time for them to cooperate in such a real battle, and they cannot be expected to play a particularly big role, as long as they rely on the terrain of the canyon and cooperate with the tactics of tower shield and short sword to drag the opponent's footsteps, this is enough.

The real killer feature is the four hundred light cavalry personally led by Qin Liangyu at this time, most of these girls have the strength of about three layers of ground locks, self-protection is not a problem, lightly armed can increase their mobility, and armored war horses can provide them with an extra layer of protection.

Qin Liangyu herself has also reached the sixth-level level of the ground lock, and at this moment, she can completely step forward to deal with these thieves alone.

However, Ling Hao's order was that she had to learn to coordinate the battle so that these recruits could get practical training.

"Tribulus terrestris, quick!" shouted the infantry commander.

"Yes!"

While the infantry lined up to defend, traps were also laid out at the same time, and long before they lined up to set up their defenses, each of them brought a few bags of thistles with them.

Tribulus terrestris, which is a kind of iron spike spreading obstacle used by the military in ancient China.

Shenzhou began to use tribulus terrestris as early as the Warring States Period.

In ancient warfare, thistles were scattered on the ground to delay enemy movements. Some of the thistles have holes in the center, which can be connected with ropes for laying and collection.

"Mozi Beicheng Gate" records that in the urban defense battles during the Warring States period, "all ginseng stones and tribulus terrestris were accumulated". "Liutao Tiger Tao" recorded: "Narrow road micro path, Zhang Tie Tribulus terrestris, four inches high, eight inches wide. ”

After the Qin and Han dynasties, thistle terrestris became a commonly used defensive equipment in the army, in addition to being laid around roads, defensive areas, and cities, when the troops were stationed in the camp, they were also laid around the camp.

After the Song Dynasty, in order to meet the needs of warfare, the types of thistle terrestris gradually increased, such as the "iron water chestnut" laid in the water, the "ground astringent" attached to the wooden board, the "hoof" used to stop horses, and the "ghost arrow" coated with poison on the thorns.

It is recorded in the "History of the Song Dynasty and the Biography of Hu Zaixing" that in the twelfth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1219), the Jin soldiers attacked Zaoyang, and the Song general Hu Zaixing "covered the ground with iron thistles at night, and feints at dawn, and the Jin people galloped in the tribulus terrestris."

Tribulus terrestris was widely used by the Ming Dynasty army. In Qi Jiguang's army, each rattan player and next player "each brought ten strings of tribulus terrestris, and each string of six in succession" (Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao Xinshu"), which was convenient for field camps.

The Ming warships were also loaded with a large number of thistles, 1,000 for large ships and 800 for medium-sized ships.

When engaged, throw at enemy ships, making it difficult for the enemy to move and fight on the ship. Tribulus terrestris is easy to manufacture and easy to lay.

In addition to casting with iron, bamboo and wood can also be used instead. For more than 2,000 years, it has been used as an obstacle device in warfare.

When an enemy horse steps on these things, you can almost imagine what it will be.

"It's impossible to hunt down Ji Dian, will we retreat or fight next?" asked Yao Rong.

"Since we can't kill the crown prince, let's kill a nobleman, Wei Taiyi and Meng Shangji can be our goals!" Gao Dailian said.

"Oops, the other party even took the opportunity to lay down thistles, in this way, our war horses are probably going to ......" Yao Rong frowned.

"It seems that I am the only one who has stepped out in person, and you all get out of the way for me!" Gao Dailian said.

"Ba Yushi, your body...... I'm afraid if I use it here......"

"It doesn't matter, how much these damn Qin dogs look down on us, and they still let women enlist in the army, it's ridiculous!

At this time, at the other end of the canyon, Shang Li finally rushed back to the scene.

However, to her great surprise, dozens of girls were rushing towards her along the canyon section at this time, and these girls were walking like flying, shouting as they ran: "Quick, look at the wounded, where are the scouts? Let them go to a high place to observe the situation on the battlefield! Childe has also said before, these thieves, not a single one can be spared! Moreover, we must go back alive!"

"Got it! I'll go!"

As for the "wounded", it was naturally Ji Qing who had stopped these thieves alone before.

At this moment, he was being examined for his injuries surrounded by several young girls.

"At least fifteen arrows all over the body, these thieves are really ruthless!"

"Shhh...... It hurts, it hurts, can you light it?"

"You're a big man, what are you afraid of?"

"Nonsense, I've been alone for so long before, and I'm almost ruined, and you're only here now, hiss......"

"Okay, bear with me, I'll help you take out the arrow right away, you can't die!"

"Rhubarb, are you okay?" Shang Li was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, and when she saw that Ji Qing had at least ten blood holes on her body, she was about to cry.

"Miss, don't worry, I'm strong...... cough cough. Ji Qing patted his chest, but suddenly there was a sharp pain.

"Okay, you don't have to say a few words, now I'll give you some medicine first, bandage it, you guys get out of here quickly, and then, we'll deal with it!"

"That...... Whose soldiers are you?" Shang Li suddenly asked.

"Childe has instructed you not to tell anyone about this matter unless you join our team of female soldiers, otherwise you can't tell it, miss. One of the female soldiers said.

"You ...... Are they all female soldiers?" Ji Qing only reacted at this time, no wonder someone suddenly came out to help him, this handwriting, except for that pit, who else would think of it?

"Oh no, Sister Li, some of the sisters in the infantry phalanx have been cut, eldest sister tells you to hurry over!"

"What? Quick, let's hurry over now!"

"Uh...... What should we do now?" asked Ji Qing.

"You still ask me, there must be a limit to heroes, right?Ji Shaoxia?" Shang Li looked at Ji Qing with a dissatisfied expression.

"This ...... Miss, didn't I get out of the way? How did I know that someone would suddenly come to our aid? ”

"It's really rare for a female soldier to participate in a war, and I don't know who is so messy. Shang Li frowned.

"Otherwise, let's go ahead and have a look, maybe the other party will have other killing moves. ”

"Rhubarb, your body ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go over first. Ji Qing waved his hand.

Wei Taiyi was commanding ten people under his command to assist the team of female soldiers who suddenly appeared, leaving two as caretakers, and observed the battlefield situation by the way.

Although there were only more than 100 people on the other side, it was evident from both discipline and weapons that they were trained and that they were all dead soldiers.

Even if the opponent is a female soldier, these people will desperately disrupt the opponent's defensive formation, and even once used a spiral blade arrow to shoot the female soldier, and then attack them with a war horse on the crotch.

"Childe, this ......"

"Don't worry, let's just take a look. ”

"Yes. ”

"Eldest sister, the sisters have already suffered damage, three people are slightly injured, one person is seriously injured, we should rush, right?"

"Right now, not yet. Qin Liangyu shook his head.

"When will that be?"

"Don't you see, the leader of the other side hasn't made a move yet? Only if he makes a move, we can copy his back road. ”

"But...... What if the sisters can't hold on?"

"Bi'er, if you can't hold it, you have to hold it, don't forget, this is actual combat, not training!" Qin Liangyu said coldly.

"Yes. ”
