33 miscalculations
In the midst of the slaughter, Jia Jiu's eyes were staring at the opposite side tightly, but his mind was constantly churning, rehearsing one siege method after another.
Attacking a city with cavalry, from any point of view, is a great waste. The light cavalry, in particular, is a class that sacrifices defense and a portion of attack power for maximum mobility. It would be a great waste to use such a class of troops to attack a guard post with a certain fortification, even a small guard post like An Yuanwei.
If he is an excellent general, with enough resources in his hands, and enough soldiers and troops, he will definitely choose heavy infantry or sword and shield soldiers, and slowly advance with a big shield, pulling out a qiē fortification along the way, for example, An Yuanwei is in front of a horse trap and bloody bamboo thorns. Then use the siege vehicle to crash through An Yuanwei's door, or simply use the assault car to crash into An Yuanwei's wall. Resources are limited, and the walls of guards like An Yuanwei are certainly not as complex as those in the national capital of Daqi, and they are made of high-quality stone and glutinous rice pulp, as long as the equipment is sufficient, it will only take some materials and time to attack it.
But the Di people only had cavalry. And maybe caravans and herds of cattle and sheep.
After mixing on the grassland for so long, and having attacked many tribes, large and small, Jia Jiu knew very well the fighting methods of the Di people. Although it is said to be light cavalry, it is an archer who picks up a bow and arrow, a knife cavalry when he picks up a scimitar, and a lancer who picks up a spear. In the tribe of the Di people, in addition to the cattle, horses and sheep are caravans, the Di people will not only light a fire on the tail of the ox to let the ox charge for them, but also use the caravan to make simple fortifications.
Difficult living conditions. They have long been taught countless ways to fight for a chance to live.
In comparison, the people of Daqi are like living in honey.
It's no wonder that Daqi will be pressed and beaten by Di Ren, on the one hand, he doesn't understand the difficulties of life at all. I only think that if I sow the seeds, I will reap the rewards, on the one hand, I don't have to do everything I can, and if I don't fight for a life, I will lose my life.
If it weren't for Jia Jiu and Shang Qingyi, it would have been true.
But now......
Jia Jiu turned his head and asked, "How will they attack?" ”
In the end, there is no experience. Even if you know that the other party can handle it, only the cavalry will have to say more.
Zhang Guerrilla and Lao Yu looked at each other. Just as he was about to answer, he saw movement on the other side. The few people gathered on the opposite side suddenly scattered on horseback and returned to their respective tribes.
I saw that under the Yue on the opposite side, someone waved the horsewhip in his hand. Soon. Countless riders rushed out from the opposite side, and after a while, the sound of the horn reached An Yuanwei.
Thousands of horses galloping, that kind of grandeur can not be described in words, if you change someone else, maybe you have been scared at this time, but in the eyes of Anyuan people, it is a surprise.
It's almost there. It's almost there.
The speed of the light cavalry on the opposite side was getting faster and faster, and everyone on An Yuanwei's side was staring at the horse running at the front. Mentally calculating the distance.
Thanks to the Di people on the other side, they are all tribal alliances, and if it weren't for profit, if it weren't for looting, they wouldn't have gathered together. This kind of mentality makes their cohesion say that it is not high, and it is not low, especially in the face of the weak people they believe in their hearts that they will be able to conquer, such as the current An Yuanwei, they will rush up. And the reason for taking such an offensive method is also very simple, just afraid that he will be one step behind others and will not be able to grab good things at that time. If your own horse can't outrun others, then there is no way. Because horses are also part of strength.
Di Ren screamed, waving the scimitar in his hand and rushing vigorously, and there was also the smart and well-prepared person who replaced the scimitar in his hand with a bow and arrow, intending to give An Yuanwei a rain of arrows when he approached. However, the range of the Di people's archers was not far, and An Yuanwei, in the land within 5,000 feet centered on An Yuanwei, was full of horse traps and bloody bamboo thorns.
These sprinting Di people were increasing the speed of their horses while calculating the distance between themselves and An Yuanwei in their hearts, and An Yuanwei's soldiers were also calculating the distance between them and An Yuanwei.
Close, close.
When the first knight's horse neighed and lifted the knight on horseback into the air, An Yuanren's eyes focused on the poor war horse, while Di Ren, who rushed to the forefront, focused his eyes on that knight.
Poor that the horse's hind legs were dangling. His left front leg must have been broken.
Poor, that guy's luck is really terrible, how can it be so coincidental that the horse's leg fell into a rat hole? His head must have hit a rock. Now that the army is sprinting, since this guy did not get up, he only died under the hooves of his compatriots.
There are really a lot of rat holes in the grassland, and it is not uncommon for horses to break their legs and feet. Therefore, the Di people have long learned to protect themselves when they are thrown out, and then get up as soon as possible, and jump on the horses of the same clan today, so as to save their lives. If you don't get up in time, you can't do anything about dying under the hooves of your compatriots. Because it is summer, and the grass on the grassland is very high, once a person falls off his horse, except for those who are on a par with him, the people behind him will not be able to find him and rescue him in the shortest possible time.
What if one or two people are accidental, if there are thousands or hundreds of riders flying into the sky?
Of these thousands of riders, not one of them was able to stand up in time!
Even if the Di people are simple, they also realize that something is wrong. But they can't stop.
Horses on the grassland, especially war horses, are generally about four feet tall at the shoulders and weigh between 500 and 700 catties, plus the weight of a knight on horseback. In order to withstand the severe cold, the weight of the Di people is also slightly higher than that of the Daqi people. Suppose a rider weighs about one hundred and fifty catties, plus weapons and bows and arrows, this figure is already very close to one thousand catties, that is, half a ton. Coupled with their speed, you can imagine how much inertia there is.
When these Di people started, they were all thinking: their An Yuanwei is a sure thing, and if they are one step slower, this good thing will not be their turn.
The problem is that only the rider running in front noticed that something was wrong, but the people behind were still increasing the speed of their horses, wanting to be the first to rush into An Yuanwei.
After all, in the rumors, An Yuanwei has countless good things.
Some of the people in front tried to stop, but they were knocked to the ground by those who followed him closely, and then trampled into a pulp by those who were further behind; Some of the people in front wanted to walk from the side, but before he could turn, they were also knocked to the ground, and then they were also trampled into pulp. There are also people who know that there is no way to go back or turn, so they have to continue to rush forward. But there is only one fate waiting for them.
The short distance of 5,000 feet has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The Di people could only step on the bones of their compatriots and rush to An Yuanwei.
On the lookout, Princess Changle saw such a scene for the first time. At the same time, a bone-piercing chill crept up his spine.
This is what Rong Guogong left back then?
Princess Changle shuddered, but secretly hated.
If this thing had been taken out a few years ago, then he wouldn't have to be close to him, and he wouldn't have to suffer this crime, but he also knew that if the Jia family had taken out this at the beginning, I was afraid that there would be no one in the Jia family now.
Five thousand feet, three feet is one meter, and within this range of more than 1,500 meters, there is only blood and corpses. At the beginning, those Di people still remembered to shoot when they reached An Yuanwei, but by the time they entered An Yuanwei's range, they were already numb and completely forgot about this thing.
They forgot about it, but An Yuanwei's soldiers didn't.
Although An Yuanwei only had the bows and arrows captured from the Di people, they stepped on the wall with their feet on the wall, and they could completely draw the bow to the fullest, instead of only pulling the bow half apart like those archers. What's more, An Yuanwei used three rows of archers to throw shots, in order to maximize the attack power of the bow and arrows.
This time, there were three Di people who carried out the encirclement war against An Yuanwei, and the total number of people was close to 800,000.
But this trap in front of An Yuanwei made them lose half of their personnel, and their morale suffered an unprecedented blow.
Shang Qingyi, who was also standing on the lookout, couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Jia Jiu.
Although he had just come to An Yuanwei not long ago, his news was not closed, and there were caravans of their merchants in the two cantonments left in An Yuanwei. Coupled with other news, he knew very well that this trap was the handiwork of the little girl in front of him who was not yet on his waist.
Shang Qingyi knew very well that if the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor were present and saw such a result, then a new grandfather would inevitably appear in the Jia family.
But now?
No one will believe such a result. Especially in the case of a large number of Di people in the territory of Daqi, An Yuanwei's appearance of such a great victory will only anger the Emperor Taishang and the emperor, and make the Emperor Taishang and the emperor feel that the Jia family chose to retire at the beginning to underestimate their father and son; also deeply offended the princesses and their mothers, because if the Jia family was really so powerful, then they wouldn't have to be friendly, and they wouldn't even have to be afraid. And comparing other generals to the dust also made the Jia family the target of public criticism, and then attracted disasters.
This is Daqi.
That's the reality.
Does this little girl in front of her know that their family is already standing on the edge of the cliff?
Shang Qingyi stared at the little girl in front of him without speaking, he could clearly feel that this little girl's love was not high, and when he was strange, he heard two words.
"Miscalculation!" (To be continued......)
