Two days later, Li Ye led his army to a small village and town called Zhuandou in the south of Qipanguan.

Because Qipanguan is located in Qipanling, it is extremely inconvenient to stack materials, so the Zhuan Dou, which is located a few miles south of Qipanling, has become a suitable place for stacking materials.

Zhuandou is located in the canyon, and the Golden Bull Road passes through it, so don't look at the population of only 100 households, but it is a sparrow Although it is small, it has all kinds of organs, and even there is a store. It was originally opened by Niu Miao before, and later after Niu Miao ceased to serve as the envoy of Shannan West Road, this mansion was taken over by Shouwang Mansion. Therefore, Li Ye is still the big boss behind this mansion.

Due to the outbreak of war, the rebels threatened Qipanguan, the Jinniu Road was interrupted, and many merchants were stranded in Zhuandou. Of course, you can choose, and you can choose to return, after all, if you have money to make, you have to have a life to spend.

As soon as Li Ye arrived, Liu Qi and Peng He came together. Originally, the rebels had planned to go south along the Jialing River, but they ran into a wall in Sanquan County, coupled with the complex terrain and unfamiliarity with the water, the rebels finally chose to focus their attack on Qipanguan.

Naturally, Liu Qi led the fourth capital on the right and the cavalry to reinforce Qipanguan, and let the first capital on the right and the local garrison of Sanquan County be responsible for the defense of Sanquan County.

When he came to Zhuandou, Li Ye realized the cruelty of war. The previous counterinsurgency was all about soy sauce, and the rebels were defeated without losing many people.

But the battle here in Qipanguan is different, the rebels outside the pass are not the peasant army of Qianneng, but the elite regular army, although after expansion, the combat effectiveness has decreased, but it is not the Tiance army that has not experienced much baptism of war can be defeated.

Therefore, the battle is even more tragic, and I am afraid that it is comparable to the battle of Didian outside Lutou Pass.

Before Li Ye came, Qipanguan had been attacked by the rebels several times, fortunately, the geographical location of Qipanguan was dangerous, and it was difficult for the rebel army to deploy, and the scale of each attack was only one or two thousand people, so the right wing could hold out until the reinforcements arrived.

However, after the battle in the past few days, there were thousands of dead and wounded in the right wing, looking at the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, Li Ye felt as if he was in hell, because what was waiting for these people was generally a dead end.

Fortunately, Li Ye initially established a military medical system, and each compartment has its own military medical team. This military medical team only has 10 doctors and dozens of assistants, and it has no problem dealing with the daily wounded soldiers, and this kind of war is not capable.

Fortunately, Li Ye came to the reinforcements this time with two battalions of military doctors, and as soon as he arrived at the front line, he immediately set up a battalion for wounded soldiers with a better sanitary environment.

Li Ye is not a doctor, so he can't study any penicillin or anything, what he can do is to improve the current environment for military medical treatment, and use some of the knowledge he knows in the treatment process to reduce wound infections as much as possible.

Eliminating wound infection is unrealistic, even according to Li Ye's method, he only tries his best to avoid infection, but in this way, he can also snatch back a lot of people from Lord Yan.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Li Ye's method is to do a good job of disinfection. For example, the bandages that bandage the wound should be disinfected, and they should be steamed, sterilized and disinfected once used; The environment of the wounded barracks should be kept clean and tidy; As for trauma surgery, the knives must also be disinfected, and they should be steamed with boiling water when they are used up.

In these ways, mortality can be reduced to the greatest extent possible.

If a large number of soldiers are lost because of poor hygiene, it will be the biggest loss for Li Ye. The more veterans survive, the more valuable it is for Li Ye, so that it can also maintain the combat effectiveness of a troop, so that it will not be greatly damaged because of a battle.

However, this is not the best way to do it at present, the best way is to defeat the rebels and seize the initiative in this big war.

"Take the initiative?" Hearing Li Ye's proposal, the first to question it was not Liu Qi and the others, but Zhang Shi'an, who looked at Li Ye incredulously, "Your Highness, even if we take the initiative, it is impossible to defeat the rebels. The Golden Bull Road is extremely narrow, not suitable for the rebels to deploy, and it is also not suitable for our army to deploy. ”

"Then take it step by step!" With the help of firearms, Li Ye's self-confidence soared.

"This 。。。。。 Your Highness doesn't say that it's appropriate, right? Zhang Shi'an hesitated, if this is the case, his troops will definitely suffer a lot of losses.

"The loss will not be too great, and then you will understand what this king said." Li Ye swore and said, "Starting tomorrow, if the enemy attacks again, let the Shenji Battalion also join the defense." Tomorrow, you will witness a new way of fighting! ”

。。。。。。

The next day, early in the morning.

"General, I heard that the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived, should we postpone the attack and wait until the commander defeats Niu Miao?"

Due to the unsatisfactory attack yesterday, the unwilling Pang Cong decided to launch an attack today.

"What reinforcements? If they really have the ability to fight us, they won't be cowering in the pass all the time. I told you to go down and win the Qihui Pass today. Pang Cong did not take the advice of his subordinates to heart, but gave the order to set off with a wave of his hand.

The rebels approached Guancheng again, and the soldiers in Qipanguan came to Guancheng as soon as the war drums sounded. As far as the eye could see, the rebels walked in orderly steps, gradually approaching the city like a dark cloud pressing down on the city. Before the battle began, the momentum of the rebels crushed the Tiance army in the city, and if it weren't for the officers next to him to supervise the battle, the people below might have caused panic.

In a few moments, the rebels stopped about a hundred paces from the city, their shields in front of them.

Then, behind these sword and shield soldiers, several rows of rebels began to draw their bows and crossbows, towards the sky.

"Launch!"

Outside the city, the rebels' arrows rained down, and nearly a thousand feather arrows were intensively shot towards the city. Projectiles can increase the range of arrows, and when they hit the target, they will have more penetration.

Seeing the sharp arrows of the rebels outside the city, the soldiers up and down the city found a good place to hide or raised their shields to meet them. The Tiance army uses a square shield, which is strong and sturdy, and as long as it is not hit by a trebuchet or something, even a crossbow arrow may not be able to shoot through. However, many shields were still pierced by arrows, killing the soldiers of the Tiance Army behind the shields, and then there were bursts of screams.

The soldiers next to him hurriedly raised their shields to block the flying arrows, while the other soldiers pulled their comrades in the middle and moved back.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows, bursts of drums sounded, and ladders were carried by the rebels to approach the city wall.

Looking at the oncoming rebels, Peng He, who was on the city, shouted, "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”

With Peng He's order, the crossbowmen behind the shield divided into several columns, neatly pulled the crossbow strings, and after seeing the rebels approaching the city wall, they waved their big hands down and shouted loudly, "Release!" ”

In an instant, hundreds of sharp arrows left the crossbow strings in an instant, piercing the sky, and flew swiftly towards the rebels like a rain of rain.

The geographical location of Qipanguan is dangerous, and it is condescending, and the sharp arrows shot from the high place are more penetrating, far more powerful than the sharp arrows of the rebels before.

Although the rebels are numerous, they cannot achieve the same armor protection as the Tiance Army. Because the rebels, and they are not descendants of the rebels, most of the ordinary soldiers in these rebels are leather and wooden, except for the officers who wear metal armor.

Such a simple armor naturally could not stop the crossbow arrows of the Tiance Army, including some shields that were also directly shot through.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”

The sharp arrows shot directly into the rebels' bodies as if they were shooting on paper, and the scale of the rebels' attack was a little smaller as the screams rang out. After a few rounds of arrows on both sides, they paid a lot of price, but the rebels were just bigger, and this was the disadvantage of the besieging side.

However, after paying huge casualties, many rebels still approached the city with ladders. Seeing this situation, hundreds of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion led by Ryuji were ready.

These soldiers took the place of the crossbowmen of the Tiance Army, and soon placed a powerful crossbow in front of them, while the soldiers next to them took out fire folds.

"Ready, put!"

With Ryuji's order, rocket fuses were ignited, and then quickly flew forward into the rebel camp. These soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have undergone rigorous training, and whether the rockets are ignited or not, they must be fired to prevent accidental injury. And each soldier is separated by a distance to ensure that no explosion in one will cause other rockets to explode.

More than 200 arrows flew towards the enemy camp with small bamboo tubes lit with lit fuses and filled with gunpowder, some of which were fired directly at the rebels, and many more were dug deep into the earth.

For these arrows, neither the rebels nor the Tiance army on the city tower paid attention to them. Before the lead burned out, there were rebels holding a ladder to the city wall, and then under the strength of more than a dozen rebels, this ladder roared onto the head of the city.

The soldiers of the Tiance Army on the tower of the city were already ready, and when they looked at the rebels who climbed up the ladder, they raised their bows in their hands, mounted their sharp arrows, and shot out. Then the rolling wood and stones fell like hailstones, slashed with knives and spears, and immediately flesh and blood flew sideways。。。。。

At this moment, a series of earth-shattering explosions suddenly sounded in the rebel camp outside the city. This shook the two sides that were fighting on the city wall and thought it was a ground dragon rolling.

Soon, everyone saw hot fireballs appear in the charging rebel camp, and with the flash of red light, they could see the nearby rebel soldiers being directly lifted away, and even many stumps and broken arms flew sideways in the air.

Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at the area of Guancheng dozens of steps to more than two hundred steps in amazement, and the rebels who were originally full of morale were instantly disconnected.

"Could it be that thunder came to the world?"

The dumbfounded crowd subconsciously ignited this thought in their hearts, otherwise how to explain everything that happened in front of them, and it happened in the camp of the rebels.

The explosion continued, but the sharp-eyed soldiers noticed that sharp arrows with sparks were being fired from the city.

However, the Tiance Army did not respond to the rebels, and Peng He, who reacted quickly, shouted loudly, "Divine fire descends from the sky, and all the soldiers will kill the enemy with me!" ”

"Kill!"
