Wang Bo and the generals who had just arrived, did not have time to catch their breath, so they immediately climbed to the top of the pass, and while looking at the Hulu camp, they began to discuss the strategy against the enemy.

Wang Bo carefully looked at the layout of Budugen's camp, and couldn't help but gasp, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became: What does this dead savage want to do? Such a big battle? If you don't attack, you dig ditches and build walls, do you want to fight a protracted war with me?

Wang Bo lamented in his heart: Is there only one way to stick to the wall? But that's more than 100,000 energetic savages! If you take turns to attack, how long will it take? Besides, the Xinghan army can't afford it? Although the damage is definitely much smaller than that of Hu Ren, what if this old miscellaneous hair is ruthless, five for one, and ten for one? And the further back on, the greater the casualties, what should I do if the Southern Huns come with another 100,000? Moreover, the Hu people outside the Yuhu Pass in the east broke in with a group and attacked ...... on both sides.

Xinghan City is full of people who can go into battle, and there are less than 20,000, and they can't afford to consume it so hard. And even if the last step of the root retreats due to too many casualties, maybe when it will come back again, let alone open up the clouds, the Xinghan army is powerless to protect itself! Therefore, this battle must be completely victorious, so that the Xianbei people in the clouds are unable to attack Xinghan City, and they can also deter the Southern Huns, and they will no longer dare to act rashly.

Harassment like the last war, right? The east bank can't do it, in the river, right? The vigilant step root also shoots rockets. When this fucking Zhuge Liang grass boat borrowed arrows, he hadn't heard of Cao Bing shooting rockets? He can easily borrow 100,000 arrows, but he just wants to harass him, can this group of savages be so ruthless?

There is no iron here, and no matter how fire-resistant the plank ship is, it is afraid of fire oil? Pour water to soak first? No, it won't last long. With the river under your feet, how can you make use of it? Wang Bo and the others thought hard for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason.

How do you know that a good way didn't come up with it, but a terrible fact came to Wang Bo's mind, and it instantly turned into a cold sweat.

Xu Chu on the side hurriedly asked, "Lord! Why? After speaking, he had to touch Wang Bo's forehead with his hand.

"Pop" Wang Bo, who was in the middle of a frightened heartbeat, impatiently shook off Xu Chu's outstretched hand, rubbed it, opened his mouth and exhaled a faintly visible white gas, and then pointed to the void and asked, "What is this?" ”

Xu Chu scratched his head, and after being puzzled, he couldn't help but wonder: What kind of crazy guy is this second brother smoking today? At the critical moment when you want to break the enemy, let me see what this is for? Don't you smell good? But I didn't dare to say it, otherwise I would be beaten up, and I would have to make his hands hurt when the lord scolded and beaten!

Seeing that Xu Chu didn't understand, Wang Bo grabbed his armor again, and in Xu Chu's strange gaze, he put his hand in and touched it, then took it out and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Xu Chu, who was confused by the second monk, thought about it and said, "It's just a little cold." ”

"Well, it's very smart!" After speaking, Wang Bo pointed to the flowing river under the pass, and said hatefully in his mouth: "Now that it is winter, the sky is getting cold, and the old thief of Budugen will not move under the pass, and he will wait for the river to freeze!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, and then frowned even more: Look at this weather, within a dozen days, the river will inevitably freeze, and at that time, it will be the time for Xianbei people to tackle key problems. When the time comes, sprinkle soil on the flat river, and then spread a layer of tents, animal skins or something, and tens of thousands of Xianbei riders will not rush in directly? You don't have to waste the lives of your soldiers! But can't you build a stone wall on the river?

"Ahem!" Wang Bo interrupted everyone's nonsense with a cough, and said in a firm tone: "Therefore, the Wuxing Han army must provoke Budugen and fight a decisive battle with it within ten days, and must defeat Hu Gou in one battle!" The maximum time should not exceed half a month, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"In such a predicament, how should the Wuxing Han army deal with it? Frontal damage to the enemy; Defend the dog with the pass and do not attack; There is no chance to harass and sneak attacks, so it is better to go out and fight happily! Ping Han shouted on the side.

Niu Feihu was still clever, his eyes lit up and he said, "Lord! I always carry a water bag when I go out, and I think if I tie a water bag to the side of the raft, maybe it can alleviate the fire? ”

"Very good! Why didn't I think about it? Wang Bo patted his thigh and said: "However, it is not easy to make a water bag for our army, and there is a lot of fur required, so you can replace it with a bamboo tube!" ”

"My lord! I see that the newly created bed crossbow has a very long range, can it be placed on it? Du Yuan proposed on the side.

"Wonderful! So good! We are also in the hands of the authorities! Hahaha ......", a word woke up the dreamer, Wang Bohaha, who was open-minded, laughed, and immediately ordered a trial production.

So just half an hour later, three strange-shaped water tools appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The lower width is narrow at the top, two zhang high, three sides and the top are surrounded by wooden planks to form protection, and the bamboo tube containing water is used outside the wooden board, or hung or tied to it, and the upper part of the front has opened two square size shooting ports, and the back is installed is the bed crossbow recently built by the Xinghan Army.

After it was built, it was carried with more than a dozen archers and sailors, as well as several crossbow operators on the upper bed, and tried it in the river, except for the unsatisfactory speed when marching forward, the rest of the aspects basically met Wang Bo's requirements. Especially after the generals saw that the bed crossbow was pressed on it and could shoot the spear hundreds of paces, they danced with joy and began to imagine that the suffering days of the Xianbei people had come again.

Judging from the experience of the last time, unless Hu Cai chased out of the camp and shot at close range, the short range of the Xianbei people's bows and arrows would definitely not be able to reach the water attack team of the Xinghan army, of course, if they wanted to cause greater chaos, they would have to risk being beaten. Therefore, in order to observe the effect, the Xinghan army, which had already rubbed its fists, blatantly began to harass the Xianbei camp in broad daylight.

So, two simple to home waterboats, in the Xianbei people's fingers, rowed out of the slave pass, sailed to a hundred steps away from the forefront of the Xianbei camp, the next moment, two long arms thick spears, mixed with whistling sound, crossed the low wall on the bank of the river, flew to the tent of the Xianbei people, each spear after passing through a tent, and overturned one before stopping, causing a period of chaos among the nearby Xianbei people.

Unlike the Xinghan army who were cheering at the Imperial Slave Gate, the Xianbei archers who were still laughing at the waterboat just now were not self-sufficient, and after reacting, they hurriedly set their bows and set fire to the rampant waterboat.

But in a hurry, he forgot that the things in his hands could not reach others at all, and the arrows that shot out were planted headlong into the river far away. Instead, the Xinghan Army's strong bow rockets shot from the waterboat set fire to the flammable low wall in a few places.

After several rounds in this way, only the bed crossbow on the Xinghan army's waterboat was left on the field, which was constantly raging. The Xianbei tents closest to the river bank were overturned one after another, causing a scream, and two unlucky Xianbei people were directly pierced through the chest and abdomen, nailed to the nearby tent, and their limbs danced around and slowly lost their sound.

In order to prevent the Xinghan army from sneaking attack, Budugen spent great efforts to build a low wall, which burned more and more under the noses of the Xianbei people, and swept away to the north with the help of the mountain wind.

Time is not long, and the Xianbei people finally have a way to deal with it. After hurriedly separating a part of the tents, dozens of horsemen rushed out from near the big tent of the Chinese army in Budugen, and gathered wildly along the open space in the middle of the camp all the way to the place where the Xinghan water boats were raging. Under the shouting of a small leader at the head, Qi Qi took off the longbow of several feet behind his back, dipped it in oil and drew the bow with arrows, and dozens of fire oil arrows flew towards the water boats on the river.

The neat movements, the skillful riding skills of dodging the spear, all show that he is the elite personal guard of the gait. But the range of the arrow is only enough to reach the side of the ship, so I can't help it. Only caused the waterboat to lean back a little, and the waterboat was still happily spitting its spear in the cheers of the Xinghan army, although the hit rate was not too high.

The Xianbei people saw that the most powerful hunters in their tribe could do nothing about the abominable thing in the river, and they had another plan: for the first time, they rushed out of the well-defended camp and tried to get close and drive away. But in order to reach the boat on the water, it is necessary to cross the trench in front of the Royal Slave Pass, so that it is also within the range of the archers of the Xinghan army, and the result can be imagined, in addition to the futility, dozens of people were killed and wounded in vain.

In this way, tens of thousands of people in the front camp of the Xianbei army spent the first night in panic. Not to mention sleeping, even if you want to take a nap, you have to huddle in the corner of the tent. Because you don't know when a spear will fly and punch you into a big hole or a corner, and the casualties will be few, but the key thing is scary.

Some of them even hold a piece of wood and want to spend the night by the fire outside the tent, but apart from constantly adding wood to the fire, it will not help to rest, after all, the weather is still very cold in early winter.

The next day, Budugen, who had made up his mind not to attack, ordered the tired soldiers of the front battalion to pack up a mess of tent supplies and camp behind the rear camp. In this way, the original front battalion became the rear battalion, and Budugen's own Chinese army became the front battalion. Even the soldiers' camp on the east bank of the river collectively retreated hundreds of steps.

After another meal of digging ditches and building walls, I was busy all day, and I didn't stop building the camp like a turtle shell.

During the day, the sailors of the Xinghan army did not move, but at night, there were as many as five or six. Throwing spears at the big tent of the Chinese army at Budugen all the time. More than a dozen brave Xinghan soldiers took advantage of the chaos to approach on a raft and fired two rounds of rockets at the Xianbei camp, igniting many cowhide tents near the river. Without waiting for the thunderous Xianbei people to react, they got under the raft and fled.

The Xianbei archers, who were ordered to rush out of the camp and rush to the river, to approach and drive away the harassers, were attacked by a group of humanoid beasts in the dark, although there were only a dozen of them, but each of them was like a killing god possessed, and cutting people was like chopping melons and vegetables. Without waiting for Budugen, whose eyes were on fire, and then sent a large cavalry to arrive, nearly two hundred Xianbei people were slaughtered, and what was even more infuriating was that even the horses were taken away, leaving only a dead body that was still bleeding.

Budugen, who did not believe in evil, sent a whole team of 1,000 people for the second time, and walked cautiously all the way to the shore, about the distance was almost just enough to get on the water boat, and was about to prepare for fire oil arrows, when he suddenly shot countless arrows from behind, which were also mixed with whining spears, huge force, crashed into the dense Xianbei soldiers, and paved the way of blood. The terrified Xianbei warriors had no intention of rushing forward at all, but just shot arrows indiscriminately in the direction from which the arrows came.

In the end, the leader of the team saw that the arrows flying by the enemy did not decrease, and less than half of the 1,000 men he brought with him were still on their horses intact. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, he threw down the fire oil that he had worked hard to collect on the ground, and ordered him to return to the camp. For example, the Xianbei soldiers who had been granted amnesty dispersed in a hurry, and the screams of their companions before they died came from behind them, and they were even more frightened, and their heads were about to burrow into the thick horsehair.

The next day, Bu Dugen, who had not rested all night, sat in the big tent and gasped for a long time with dark eye circles, before calling his nephew to return to the mud to guard the Chinese army camp, and gave a lot of instructions, and he was lazy to go to the rear to make up for sleep.

In order to expel the hated Xinghan army harassment team, the Xianbei people, who had nothing to do, also learned from the Xinghan army to build rafts, but their skills were far inferior to those of the Han people. Just use logs and cowhide ropes, tie them together, and throw them into the water, anyway, if you can walk, you can't fall into the river. However, due to the large-scale construction of defense facilities a few days ago, the wood used ruthlessly, has cut down the few trees at the foot of the nearby mountain, and the Han slaves have to go far away if they want to cut down trees, but fortunately, there is no shortage of Han slaves.

Before the wood could be chopped, the shameless Xinghan Army water harassment team arrived again.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I scolded: It's so far away from Guancheng, and you dare to make trouble in broad daylight? Two thousand-strong teams were immediately dispatched out of the camp, one approaching the river bank to drive away the water boats, and the other was in a special formation to be responsible for protection.

Wang Bo looked at it on the top of the pass and laughed: It seems that Xianbei people don't have a long memory, they haven't tasted enough of the power of the bed crossbow last night, and they dare to form such a dense formation today? Chen Zhiyi, who rushed to the side, raised his chin, and Chen Zhi immediately understood.

So the slave gate slowly opened, and six or seven horse-drawn large chariots appeared in the sight of the Xianbei people. And what was placed on the roof of the car was the bed crossbow that made the Xianbei people helpless, but it was tightly wrapped, just after turning the chariot, leaving a black hole in the shooting port, towards the Xianbei soldiers who were in doubt.

But the next moment, when the giant beast spat out its long flying spear, Xianbeiren's gaze changed from horror to horror, and the nightmarish scene of last night reappeared .......

After a while, even the Xianbei soldiers, who had suffered hundreds of casualties on their men and horses, ignored the shouts of the small officers who led the team, and ran back to the camp as if they had seen the great god of the grassland.

Fortunately, under the influence of his uncle, he behaved quite calmly: did not blame the warriors of the tribe for being so cowardly? The first time I saw this kind of murderous weapon, I am afraid that I will not be much better than them if I go up in person? As for the stampede, I can only blame myself for doing too well the defense of the camp, and the two entrances and exits are too small.

Listening to the loud ridicule and cheers of the Xinghan army on the opposite side, and looking at the boats that kept harassing in the river, for a long time, he took a deep breath, suppressed the worries and uneasiness in his heart, and ordered the passage in front of the camp to be widened several times, and then commanded a large number of cowering Xianbei horsemen, in a scattered formation, approaching the Imperial Slave Pass.

As a result, in the open space between the trench in front of the Imperial Slave Pass and the Xianbei camp, the next scene appeared: a cavalry army formation composed of more than 10,000 Xianbei soldiers and several miles long appeared in front of the Xinghan army. And the strange thing is that this cavalry formation, except for the occasional brief confusion due to dodging the flying spears, is basically still the rest of the time.

The Xianbei soldiers with bows and arrows along the river were in the midst of the constantly burning fire, staring at the Xinghan army water boats in the distance. Only from their performance can it be seen that the Xianbei people are guarding against harassment by water boats.
