To deal with cavalry, in addition to cavalry and infantry formations, there is also a way to trap cavalry!

The six methods of trapping and riding recorded in "Mr. Cuiwei's Northern Expedition", Xu You carried out a second creation after absorbing it all, removing the turnip and preserving the essence, which is even more deadly!

One of them is the ambush gun, with the fire refining bamboo gun obliquely buried in the ground in a row, with a bamboo ring to tie the gun head, covered with thatch concealment, the gun bamboo ring is tied with a head rope, when the head rope is stepped on by the horse after dragging the gun bamboo circle, the bamboo gun bounces up and stands up, three feet from the ground, the thief and the horse are all slandered.

At such a short distance, breathing can be reached, Wei Cai didn't even have time to shoot arrows, he directly pulled out his riding spear, his upper body was low, and the pong card on his back could block the arrows falling from the sky, and the cold wind poured into his ears, and he could hardly hear any other sounds, and he could only watch the enemy's face gradually become clear from nothingness.

One hundred and twenty meters more!

Hiss!

The horse under the crotch suddenly stumbled, and rows of bamboo spears bounced on the ground, stabbing into the horse's belly with a puff, and hundreds of knights flew up in the air due to inertia, and fell forward again, and were seriously injured even if they did not fall to death.

However, it was too late to retreat, the speed reached its peak, and at this time he could only die faster by forcibly turning, Wei Chixin was extremely calm in the face of the crisis, and the Chu army arrived at the battlefield in a timely manner, and there was not much time to set traps in the rear, and this ambush array should be the only obstacle between the two sides.

The past passed, the islanders who were still panicked were the souls of the weeping ghosts under the horse's hooves!

However, who would have thought that there was a pit ahead!

What a pit!

The volley was smashed into broken bamboo by the unlucky eggs in the front, which did not pose much of a threat, and the knights of the Northern Wei Dynasty who followed closely showed their superb horse control skills, and their feet slammed into the belly of the horse, and they jumped in the air, which could fly through the range of the ambush gun array.

Man is like a tiger, a horse is like a dragon,

Perfect landing!

Then, the man turned on his back and the scene was repeated.

Behind the ambush array, there were dense horse barrels.

What is a horse tube, dig a pit one foot deep and three inches wide in the ground, and build a cone, when the horse's hooves are trapped, the heel of the hoof is stabbed with the cone.

This is the second method of trapping.

The drums in the Chu army are loud!

The rear army reserves, which seemed to be chaotic as headless flies, heard the sound of drums, and rearranged them into a cloud array improved from Sun Bin of the Warring States period with unbelievable efficiency, standing one by one, two squatting and three standing, each holding a black-painted Wanjun crossbow, reflecting the cold metal moist in the sun, and like the open eyes of an evil dragon, staring at the prey in front of him, making people shudder.

At first glance, this cloud array winds and crosses, and the front is stretched out for more than a thousand steps, which seems to have no rules, but in fact, the firepower line is piled to the maximum, and there is enough depth and angle, and then three sections of the attack are used to ensure the uninterrupted output of firepower.

So the art of war cloud: the trapper has no crossbow!

However, in order to achieve such a smooth flow, without the brutal training that was tempered thousands of times before the war, without the scientific and effective formation methods of later generations, and without the instinct to form muscle memory and conditioned reflexes, it would be difficult for even the elite troops to condense into a formation after the outbreak of chaos.

To put it mildly, once the chaos starts, people are panicked, the tun chief can't find the chief, the chief can't find the chief, the chief can't find his own soldiers, and others can't hear it if he shouts out his voice, how can he find his own position accurately in a short time?

Wei Chixin finally changed color!

With the wave of the crimson flag, the cold sliding sound of the Wanjun repeater blew the horn of harvesting the fruit, as if countless fierce beasts roared out, covering the vision of heaven and earth in an instant, and fiercely collided with those galloping horses, the armor-piercing arrows pierced everyone's armor with incomparably powerful lethality, and the spurted blood pillars stained the churning dust and smoke red, visible to the naked eye, the head and wings of the cavalry that had never been proud of their might were formed in a sharp arrow array, and the head and wings were dented into it, like a headless geese, making a helpless wail.

"Withdraw!"

Even if his heart was dripping blood and he was full of depression and indignation, Wei Chixin could only face the reality and led the remaining more than 800 horsemen to leave the battlefield and flee east in a hurry.

Ming Jing had no cavalry in his hands, so he was powerless to chase after him, and when he saw Wei Chixin go away, there was no smile on his face.

His mission was to capture the Luzhuang camp, but after a fierce battle for half a day, he was never able to succeed. Seeing that the sky is getting dark, located in the plain, there is no danger to defend, if the enemy takes advantage of the darkness of the night to attack, it is impossible to prevent it, and decisively Mingjin collects his troops, and after Xu You's main force arrives, he chooses a safe place to camp and repair.

That night, in the face of the generals, Ming Jing was full of shame, made a profound self-criticism, took all the responsibility on his body, and applied for punishment and reduction.

Xu You sat upright and didn't speak, Tan Zhuo knew his thoughts, and said with a smile: "You have a good command today, and you have a good response, although you didn't succeed in pulling out the enemy camp, you can eat more than half of Wei Chixin's troops, the two offset each other, the merits outweigh the faults, don't be too harsh!" ”

Tan Xiaozu also said: "The tenacity of the Wei army is not a crime of war!" At least today we have tried out their details, and we will fight again tomorrow, with a target, and it is not difficult to break it! ”

Everyone was relieved, who didn't know that Mingjing was the descendant of Xu You's lineage, why did he fall into the well and annoy the general? Besides, on the matter, Ming Jing took 20,000 against 10,000, and it was the attacking side, paying 1,500 casualties and annihilating more than 2,000 Wei troops, including 1,000 cavalry.

After most of the people finished speaking, Xu You revealed it, without reward or punishment, and said, "How do you feel about fighting with Wei Jun?" ”

Ming Jing thought for a while and said admiringly: "The six towns are strong, and they are worthy of their reputation. ”

His temperament is the most wild, and he rarely convinces people, and to be able to give Wei Jun such an evaluation shows how much shock his opponent's tenacity and courage and fearlessness have given him.

Xu You nodded and said, "After these two battles, I think you should understand how the enemy on the opposite side has stood in the north for a hundred years?" Don't use heavy hammers to sound drums, guard against arrogance and rashness, face up to the enemy and me, the glory and victory of the soldiers, we must witness with knives and blood, the three armies will be repaired tonight, and we will fight again tomorrow! ”

"No!"

Luzhuang Daying.

Wei Chixin, who returned to the big tent, had a blue face, and the anger in his chest almost burned his eyes and lungs, although Li Chong comforted him during the military discussion just now and said that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the cavalry attack made Ming Jing use the reserves, and also made him unable to continue to organize the attack, so he could only retreat gloomily, which still had a positive and positive effect, etc., but these comforting words were more uncomfortable for Wei Chixin than killing him!

"Serve!"

Wei Chixin is an alcoholic, or there is no Xianbei person who does not love the contents of the cup. Drinking alcohol is naturally forbidden in the army, but as a general of Xiaocai and a child of the Wei Chi family, they are in vain.

The privileged class is high precisely because the decrees are set up by them, but they do not have to strictly abide by them!

The wine was also quickly served, Wei Chixin was just about to drink bitterly, he raised his hand and touched the empty place, there was no customary jade cup, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he took the soft leather whip on the shelf, and whipped it at the two guards who served the wine and food.

"Raise you dog slaves, it's not good to guard the gate, the royal gifts are lost by you, and the general is so tired that he will be defeated and humiliated today, and he will kill you all sooner or later......"

The two guards who lost the jade cup had been whipped to death, these two people were just serving wine and suffered from this unwarranted disaster, knowing Wei Chixin's temper, they didn't dare to argue a little, knelt on the ground and suffered more than a dozen whips, their clothes were torn, and the purple-red whip marks of the thickness of their thumbs were cracked hideously, and trickling blood overflowed from them.

"Get out!"

As if they had been pardoned, the two endured the severe pain and supported each other to retreat. After Wei Chixin vented, his tyrannical emotions were slightly relaxed, and he drank two times in a row, and when he was drunk, the deputy lieutenant of the personal guard came to the side and said in a low voice: "Lord Hao, General Li specially instructed to persuade Lord Hao to drink less, there will be a big battle tomorrow, don't miss something......

Clang!

The wine glass shattered, and the table was overturned.

Wei Chixin had a gloomy face and slowly stood up.

The deputy lieutenant is one of the guards who has followed him for many years, obedient and loyal, and flattering, he has always been favored, and he is usually quite arrogant with his favor, but this will sense that the situation is not right, and he was so frightened that he knelt down in a hurry, and before he could explain, Wei Chixin raised his foot and kicked his heart, and his body flew straight out, slammed into the tent pillar, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, trembled, and said: "Lord Xun, the little one ......."

Wei Chi Xin.

"Are you my minion, or Li Chong's minion? Eat something inside and out! ”

"Ahh

Like a crow that was choked by the throat, its eyes burst out in an instant, and he fell to the ground and died. Wei Chixin withdrew the foot that he stepped on his neck, and his strong alcohol was aroused by the smell of blood, and he couldn't help bending over and vomiting.

A few guards next to him trembled, and no one dared to step forward.

That night, Yuan Mulan sent 3,000 people and a large number of supplies from Zhongmu, and the leader was Huwei Zhonglang, who was still under the unified command of Li Chong. The Wei army stayed up all night and re-strengthened the three defensive lines, all kinds of horse-repellent antlers and thistles were once again scattered all over the ground, and the camp gates and fences were repaired and heightened.

The next day, Xu You continued to attack with Ming Jing's 20,000 forwards, and the Chinese general Lin Bao led 20,000 people to help, and the main attack direction was adjusted from the northwest and southeast to the northwest, so as to facilitate the concentration of troops and crush the Wei army's defense line with numerical superiority.

From morning to night, the sound of fighting was accompanied by wolf smoke in the sky, witnessing the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield. The Wei army was led by Li Chong, in charge of the defense of the battalion, and Wei Chixin led the cavalry on the left flank to create great pressure on the Chu army.

The arrows that are not shot are the most deterrent!

Ming Jing commanded the Cuiyu army to attack the camp to a critical juncture, only keeping 3,000 reserves in his hand, and the others were all pressed up, and Lin Bao's Chinese army had to be arranged to the left flank, and he led the crowd to monitor Wei Chixin's movements.

Unexpectedly, when night fell, Yan Lishi led a thousand cavalry to the rear of the left flank and suddenly appeared on the battlefield, causing chaos and collapse of the Chinese army's rear line. Wei Chixin seized the opportunity and followed the flank to break in, and the two rushed left and right, dividing the Chinese army into three sections, and Lin Bao had no backhand power.

Seeing that it was precarious, Ming Jing had no choice but to postpone the offensive, fighting and retreating to prevent the Wei army from counterattacking, and on the other hand, Pei Shuye led his troops to respond to Lin Bao, and finally stabilized the situation.

Wei Chixin and Yan Lishi retreated and disengaged from contact, once again integrated the cavalry formation, and continued to maintain a coercive posture on the left flank.

Ming Jing has no choice but to mingjin,!

On this day, the Chu army suffered 2,700 casualties, far more than yesterday, and most of them were Lin Bao's Chinese army, but the results were not as good as yesterday, and they did not even break through the camp gate, and their efforts were in vain.

The camp of Luzhuang is still standing!
