Chapter 643: The Murderous Ditch

、、、、、、、、、、

Wanfu grew up in shock, and a heart suddenly rose to his throat.

He looked down in mid-air and saw that a trench had suddenly appeared on the flat ground, and the horses of the Turkic soldiers had not prepared at all. If you step on the ditch like this, how can you not fall?

But how can there be a trench in the ground? Those scouts of the Zhou army rushed over just now, how could they be safe and sound?

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have a chance to think about it, because the place where he landed was a deep pit. The pit was covered with sharp nails. As soon as he fell to it, an iron nail thrust unhindered from his back to his chest, bringing out a rain of blood.

He really can't be blinded! A dignified captain died like this.

More than 10,000 Turkic cavalrymen, as they rushed through the ditch, fell into a pit full of spikes. Those who did not rush through also died in the ditch full of thorns. However, in the end, more than a thousand people barely reined in the horses, but they were also pale with fright.

At this time, the Zhou army still stayed in the camp and was terrifyingly quiet, and after the Turkic soldiers reined in their horses, the original momentum that was surging like a tide was suddenly cut off by this ditch.

Wei Chi Jingde was on a high platform in the camp, looking at the Turkic army not far from the camp gate, but he smiled indifferently. Because everything is going according to plan.

The Turkic army in front of him was dominated by Western Turks. They fought far less than ****** the Central Plains army. Therefore, they did not have any fear of the Zhou army at all, believing that the army in the Central Plains was not strong. The previous ****** two failed attempts to attack Hedong. In the eyes of the Western Turks, it was the incompetence of their compatriots. If they had been replaced, this would certainly not have been the case.

And Yu Ming, in the eyes of the Western Turks, should be regarded as a very capable person among the Central Plains. ****** of their compatriots can be defeated.

However, they also believed that the Turks were invincible in the world, and that Yuming could defeat ****** people, and that it must rely on trickery, and the Zhou army itself did not necessarily have any strength.

Therefore, in the minds of the Turks, this duel will allow the Western Turks to avenge their compatriots in the east.

However, they didn't expect that the Turkic army had not yet seen Yuming, so they suffered a loss in front of this small Zhou army camp.

It was such a trench that, because of the many sharp iron nails buried in the trench, easily killed thousands of Turks, including a commander.

The Turkic army rushed violently, but had to stop in front of the trench.

Now their 10,000-strong team has been crippled. But don't talk about the enemy's main general, even the main force of the enemy army is not seen anywhere. And they are confused, how did the scouts of the Zhou army pass before?

In the camp, the Zhou army remained silent. The weapon in his hand contains an atmosphere of slaughter. But they didn't take advantage of it. At the moment, these people are not worth wasting too much energy.

Wei Chi Jingde smiled slightly, of course he knew why the Zhou army scouts came over and were safe and sound. Because the trench is not completely hollowed out. Five narrow passages were left in it for cavalry to pass through. The scouts of the Zhou army passed safely through these five passages.

However, the Turkic army chased excitedly, and only saw that the opponent in front of him passed unharmed. Where would have thought that Zhou Jun had already arranged a trap for them at his feet?

At the moment, the Turks did not dare to attack immediately.

The existing long trench has discouraged the Turks.

Although the wide trenches were really nothing, they could easily be passed by paved with pedals. But after the past, no one knows what the situation on the other side of the ditch is.

If there are still a large number of traps and hidden ditches on the opposite side, then they will also lose their troops again when they pass.

Timur frowned, and began to realize that his opponent was indeed difficult, and it was no wonder that ****** people would be defeated by Zhou Jun twice.

The military camp in the distance alone was as strong as a fortress, and the soldiers behind the fence were cold with swords and guns, and their bows and crossbows were ready to fire, like a hedgehog, so that he could not start.

At this time, a captain stepped forward and suggested: "Lord Timur, the camp of the Han people in the Central Plains does seem to be somewhat solid, even if we attack the gate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack it." In order to avoid senseless sacrifices, it is better to send someone to probe the front one first to see if there are any traps and ditches...... If there is, it is not too late to fill it in first and then send troops to attack. ”

Then another captain suggested: "My lord, the Zhou army seems to be very cunning, and this camp is much stronger than imagined, like a city, it doesn't seem to be easy to fight......

"You're not talking nonsense?" Timur rebuked angrily: "If it's easy to attack, why bother staying here and not making an inch? ”

"In that case, my subordinates suggest that it is better to provoke them to fight." The captain advised: "We can send men to their camp to curse the streets, as long as we can provoke them out of the barracks, why is it difficult to defeat them in the field?" ”

Timur thought about it, so his opinions were all adopted, and then he sent people to start filling in the ditch, testing the flat ground in front of him for traps, and at the same time ordered a few loud soldiers to shout and fight in front of the Zhou military camp. As a result, the Turkic soldiers who scolded the street were hoarse, and they did not wait for the Zhou army to come out. It seems that Zhou Jun is all deaf and can't hear their scolding.

But fortunately, the soldiers sent to fill in the trench have already filled in all the trenches. And after the trial, the flat land in front of me did not have the imaginary ditches and traps, and they could pass normally.

Timur breathed a sigh of relief. He also found that he had thought too simply, in the past, when he was in the steppe, the Turkic army fought with cavalry, and they used cavalry to fight each other, where are these strange doorways. Even if the opponent has some fortifications, as long as a large number of wolves ride forward, they can ride their horses to level them. And now facing the camp of the Central Plains people, they didn't expect that the other party had so many Dao.

And now that the Zhou army is in the mountains, the defense of this camp is very strong, and it is no different from an ordinary city. In this case, the Turkic soldiers attacked only on horseback, and the failure can be imagined.

In fact, the Zhou army also had no bottom in his heart about the Turkic soldiers. After all, when I saw the cavalry all over the mountains and fields, I was a little uneasy.

However, after the daytime duel, it was finally discovered that General Wei Chi Jingde had already taken countermeasures, and seemed to be confident and able to deal with the enemy with ease, so he couldn't help but increase his courage.

At this time, Wei Chi Jingde saw that the Turkic army began to swagger and fill in the soil, and he also said secretly: It seems that this Timur also knows some offensive and defensive techniques, and he knows that it is impossible for the Zhou army to send troops to attack him in the wilderness, so he unscrupulously uses the method of filling in the soil to fill in the attack.

This trick is also often used by Yuming in wars, first using the rainbow momentum of the army to suppress people, forcing the opponent not to dare to attack, and then recklessly attacking the opponent to gain the initiative. Unexpectedly, today's Turkic army has a large number of troops, and everyone is extremely arrogant, so this effect has been achieved inadvertently.

The Turkic army filled the earth with a sigh of relief, moving quickly and without wasting time.

By the afternoon, one had already been filled out. Timur was overjoyed and ordered a squad of 10,000 men to fill the remaining trenches and traps while the rest of the cavalry began to attack.

When they walked in front of the Zhou army's camp, they saw that the Zhou army did not have any abnormal behavior, but they felt that something was wrong, and they were uneasy.

And the shield bearers in the Turkic army have long been like facing the enemy, holding a one-man high wooden shield and staring at the movement in the Zhou army's camp.

However, the camp of the Zhou army remained silent.

After a few moments, with a wave of his hand, Timur ordered the shieldmen to dodge, allowing the sappers to step forward and continue to fill in the earth and explore the path ahead in case anything changed. But at this moment, the drums in the Zhou army suddenly sounded, which shook the earth.

The Turkic soldiers were caught off guard and taken aback. Hurriedly stopped, looking around in horror.

The drums became tighter and tighter, but the Zhou army only thundered and did not rain. The Turkic army was in full array, and the sappers did not dare to attack for the time being. This made Timur very dissatisfied, so he instructed his commander: "Order the soldiers to hurry up and fill in the earth." After grinding like this, another day passed. When are you going to take this camp? ”

The captain was helpless, when he drew lots before, he was unlucky, and he won the lot to fill the earth, so he had to be the sapper. Seeing that Timur was so dissatisfied, he had no choice but to order the Turks to speed up the refueling.

As soon as their sappers came out, there was finally movement in the Zhou camp, and the archers guarding behind the fence began to release arrows.

However, this round of feathered arrows did not shoot much, only more than a thousand, but it shot at least four Turkic soldiers who filled in the ground in front.

Seeing this, Wei Chi Jingde also smiled slightly: "It seems that the sharpshooters in our army are not much worse than Yu Linwei, ironclad cavalry, and Modao army." ”

And the captain was a little frightened when he saw that the enemy's feathered arrows were so accurate. Hurriedly ordered the shield soldiers to step forward, protect the craftsmen to fill the earth, and rushed forward regardless of casualties.

As a result, the advance of the Turkic army was greatly accelerated, and the previous trench was filled in only a few moments.

There were originally two ditches and several large pits in front of the Zhou army's camp, which were smashed by the Turkic army with a giant hammer, and all of them were exposed and filled.

Seeing that the filling work was almost done, Timur immediately changed his strategy. He whispered two words to the other captains under him. Let the shield players move forward quickly, quickly bypass the big pit and the ditch, choose the terrain to stand, stack the shields together, and soon erect an iron and copper wall to resist the arrows of the Zhou army's marksmen.

Guo Yi asked at this time: "General Wei Chi, do you want to order the trebuchet at the rear of the camp to be launched?" As long as our boulder is launched, we can break this shield. ”

Wei Chi Jingde shook his head and said, "No need, just let them come." ”

"Oh?" Guo Yi frowned and said, "Could it be that the general wants to lure the enemy deeper?" ”
