When Xiang Yu and Wang Jian led the army to arrive at the border of Youji, it was already the time of sunset in the western mountains. On both sides of the official road on the border of Hebei Province, the mountains stretch, the ravines are all over the place, and the weeds are overgrown.

The bitter cold wind blew from the valley, one after another, as if to cool people's hearts.

Six thousand cavalrymen stood outside the boundary monument on the secluded border, motionless, silently looking at the road ahead in the cold wind.

Xiang Yu and Wang Jian were thinking about whether to continue to march forward.

"Brother Wang, going forward from here, it is Fanyang County!" Xiang Yu rubbed his hands and asked Wang Jian beside him.

"Yes, there is Fan Yang in front. However, Brother Xiang, looking at this terrain, it doesn't seem to be good! The mountains stretch on both sides, and the road in the distance is not in sight. From the cold wind blowing in my face, I seemed to sense a dignified murderous aura. If the orcs set up an ambush here, none of our 6,000 cavalry will survive. ”

"Indeed, this place is a good place for ambushes! Why don't you send a team in and put it to the test! Xiang Yu asked tentatively.

Because, he knows, if the orcs really have ambush soldiers, this team sent in will definitely die.

Wang Jian turned his head to look at Xiang Yu, then at the six thousand soldiers behind him, nodded in agreement.

Ci is not in charge of the army, sacrificing a handful, and it is worth it to find out whether the road ahead is safe.

"Tai Shi Ci!" Xiang Yu beckoned to the back and called Tai Shici forward,

"Take a few people, go in and take a walk, and explore the way. Remember, several people are close to each other, shield all the way to guard, and if there is an enemy attack, withdraw as soon as possible. ”

"No!" When Tai Shi Ci heard the order, he led a few cavalrymen with shields in their hands and walked deeper into the road. Xiang Yu's meaning, he knew very well, the two of them must have noticed that there was an orc ambush here, and they went in to explore the way and explore the orc ambush.

The danger of this move can be imagined, if one is not careful, a few of them, I am afraid that there will be no return.

Tai Shici is also very clear about this. Therefore, Tai Shici didn't dare to slack off, and he was full of 120,000 points of spirit throughout the whole process.

His eyes were always on the front and around, and the shield in his hand was firmly grasped in his hand, ready to be used for cover.

Suddenly, a rain of arrows shot down from the mountains on either side. Seeing the situation, Tai Shici and the others raised their shields to cover it.

Helplessly, arrows rained down, and this shield could cover people, but not horses. The horses were shot into a sieve, and several people rolled off their horses and fell to the ground.

There was a soldier who was unlucky, and when he fell, he dropped his shield to the ground, and instantly became a target for arrows.

Tai Shi Ci and the others quickly raised their shields to besiege a circle, moved to the side of the soldier, and covered the soldier in the shield array.

Then, while pulling the soldier, he stepped back. Hearing the sound of arrows in front of them, Xiang Yu and Wang Jian both changed their faces.

Ahead, there is indeed an orc ambush!

"Han captured the tiger, led a hundred soldiers, dismounted on foot, advanced with a shield array, and met Tai Shici. The rest of the people waited for the general to retreat. Xiang Yu immediately made a decision and gave an order.

The sound of arrows from the front was quite dense, and the cavalry forced to break through, which would only increase casualties. For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to go first and then make plans.

When Xiang Yu and Wang Jian led the army to retreat ten miles away, they stopped. Thousands of cavalry looked forward in the direction of Youzhou, waiting for the return of Tai Shici, Han Baohu and others.

In the ardent anticipation of the soldiers, more than 100 people appeared in the night. Seeing them return, Xiang Yu and Wang Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted them.

But when they saw the corpse carrying on top of everyone's spears, the two of them couldn't help but shake their heads, looked at the dark night sky and sighed helplessly.

In the end, there were still casualties. However, they also came back, but only one was sacrificed.

This is already a great luck in misfortune!

"Zitong, take someone to bury that brother well, and set up camp on the spot! Tonight, Dobu Sentinel, beware of orc sneak attacks. Xiang Yu ordered,

"The rest of the brothers, go down and rest! Ziyi, tell me what happened! ”

"Yes!" Han Baohu and the others arched their hands and retreated. After everyone left, Tai Shici slowly began to speak: "What a fucking bag! A few of us rode forward when a sudden rain of arrows came from the hills on both sides. We were prepared and raised our shields to cover us. But the horses had no shields to cover them, and when they were shot, we rolled off our horses, and the brother was shot to death as he got off his horses. Later, we formed a shield array, and we withdrew with the help of the shield. Seeing this, the orcs did not release arrows at us. Later, I met Brother Zitong and them. The first time such a situation was encountered, the man did not see it, and he lost a brother. I really don't know what to do with this battle. Xiang Yu nodded and comforted: "Okay, go down and have a good rest!" ”

"No!" Tai Shi Ci arched his hand and retreated.

"Brother Wang, what do you think about this matter!" Xiang Yu made a gesture of please, walked to a relatively secluded place with Wang Qian, and discussed.

"Judging from what Ziyi said, it is obvious that the orcs have no intention of entangling with our army more. Their purpose is to keep us out of Youzhou. I think, except for here, the rest of the roads that can enter Youzhou are also so ordinary. The rain of arrows is so fierce, if our 6,000 cavalry break through, I am afraid that they will be like Ziyi just now, and they will all be explained here without even seeing the enemy. ”

"So, are we just waiting here?"

"It's not like sitting and waiting, I already have a plan to break the enemy, but it will take some time. Brother Xiang, come here with your ears! Xiang Yu put his ear up, and Wang Jian whispered a few words in Xiang Yu's ear.

Xiang Yu kept nodding his head while listening. The smile on his face is getting thicker and thicker.

"Good idea, then I'll have someone cut down the wood!" Xiang Yu said and was about to leave. Seeing Xiang Yu roaring so urgently, Wang Jian grabbed him: "Brother Xiang, it's getting late, and the brothers are already tired. Let's wait for us to set up camp first, so that the brothers can eat a full meal and get a good night's sleep! If there is anything, wait until tomorrow! ”

"Yes, yes! That's how it should be, that's why it's so! Xiang Yu smiled and kept nodding. The next day, after a night's rest, the 6,000 Qin troops began to cut down trees and build camps around the area, as if to prepare for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements.

The movements of the Qin army were soon known to the orc generals who blocked them. Hearing this, the orc generals also laughed, they didn't want to make senseless sacrifices, and they didn't want to fight the Qin army head-on.

It seems that the Qin army they faced was also of the same idea, and when they saw that the road ahead was impassable, they gave up the idea of continuing to move forward and built a camp to wait for reinforcements.

Build it, build it, build it, just build it, when you build it, we will have returned to Liaozhou a long time ago! After another two days, the Qin army still did not move, and was still building camp, and the orc generals who defended it were even more convinced of his judgment.

The Qin army has no intention of continuing the offensive! And the Qin army camp, on the surface, by cutting down trees and building a barracks, in fact, is to build a kind of chariot in the camp.

The name of this chariot is called

"Partial box car". The partial box car was covered by Zhuge Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, at the request of Mo Feng

"Special Forces" combat research and development. It can not only be combined with obstacles such as deer barricades and horses to form a chariot battalion to prevent the enemy from raiding, but also can fire bows and arrows from the arrow window of the guard plate under the cover of the guard.

Originally, this kind of equipment was not even used by Li Shan and Luo Shixin, but I didn't expect it to be used here.

Among the cavalry led by Xiang Yu and Wang Qian, it was naturally indispensable

"Special Forces". of the Eighth and Ninth Corps

"Special forces", although not as good as Li Shan and Luo Shixin's department

"Special Operation". However, it is still possible to make some of their equipment. Coincidentally, the partial box car is still within the scope of their production capabilities.

Wang Qian's purpose was to deceive the orcs by the illusion of building a large number of camps, and in fact, to make a large number of partial box carts and fight the enemy with a car formation.

This uses a box cart, and the orc's arrows will definitely have no effect. Once the orcs see that their arrows are ineffective, they will definitely show up and engage the Qin army at close range.

At that time, they could not only form a chariot formation against the enemy with a partial van, but also counterattack by firing a bow and crossbow through the partial van.
