Chapter 504: Fire Pig Formation (1)
Seeing that the horseman was blocking the way, the envoy held his head high arrogantly, spoke in a fluent Xu accent, and spoke in a contemptuous tone:
"Let the defeated generals of your northerners come out and speak!"
When Bailiyan heard the word "northerner", she thought in a blink of an eye that the Jin Xuedi people had already gotten clues from the thieves in the Central Plains.
Thinking of this, he said:
"The person you are looking for is the general, but the general thinks that it is more appropriate to describe you as the 'general of the defeated army'."
"Hmph, I can't help myself. You Central Plains people lost the city and lost the land and collapsed into an army, and now you are still here to speak out, you Central Plains people are not all so brazen and unself-aware. ”
"Huh!" Bai Liyan sneered, and continued: "In the past hundreds of years, you and other barbarian Diyi's children, I don't know how to feel the grace of my Central Plains, and you don't think about the reconciliation between the two countries, but again and again, in order to make my Central Plains land rich and enslave the people of my Central Plains, you don't hesitate to fight each other, causing my Central Plains to mourn and be ruined all over the wilderness.
I advise you, stop the army quickly, and go back with dignity, otherwise, you will have to wait for no return! ”
Bai Liyan showed no mercy, and did not hesitate to criticize the rhetoric of diplomatic criticism, and the envoy sneered after hearing the news:
"You wait for the little ones to speak wildly, just rely on the rabble like you, and you also want to compete with my Moon God King Division, and you are also worthy!"
"Even if you are a rabble, you also need to gather more than 100,000 heavy troops, you are frightened by our army!"
"You are attacking our army by despicable means, and if you are engaged head-on, you will not be allowed to be presumptuous!"
"Hmph, I'm despicable! White-haired thief, you have been abducting millions of people in my Central Plains for hundreds of years, and you have no plan to rape ** women. Ben will hate to castrate your entire clan, cut off your descendants, destroy your nine clans, and punish your divine religion, in order to thank me for the lonely souls and wild ghosts of the people who died tragically in the Central Plains!
If you know the education of the Central Plains, how can you have a noisy face. The method of the battle formation, the trick is also, the surprise attack is unprepared, how can there be a reason to seek death without measuring one's own strength!
Your army bullies more and less, ten times more than me, it is a self-proclaimed array, and our army wins more with less is despicable means, according to your saying, you and other barbarian kings ignite the scourge of war for no reason, are you not beasts! ”
"You, if you dare to slander my Majesty the Moon God King, you will not die a good death!" The envoy scolded in a gaffe, completely devoid of the arrogance and contempt of Fang Cai.
"Hmph, slander. Sooner or later, I will slander and slander in the crotch of your woman's pants to vent the hatred in my heart! ”
When the envoy of Jin Xuedi heard the news, he was furious, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice the ballast method of cursing the dancing god:
"I mortally curse you with the moon god, and you will not die well!"
didn't wait for the words to fall, but Bai Liyan roared:
"Hehaha...... That will be the sun god, and you can't wait to die. If necessary, Ben will be able to ascend to the name of thousands of stars, and you will not be able to wait for a good death.
From ancient times to the present, the power of heaven and earth is changeable, the poverty is endless, and the number of people killed is innumerable, how can there be an evil god who only allows you to kill, and not us, even if there is, it is just a cover up for hypocrisy, ugliness, despicable and tyrannical words! ”
"You, you wait, our army will definitely break you into pieces!"
Baili Yan's original words are returned:
"Ben will be waiting here, waiting for you to come and break the corpse into ten thousand pieces, get out, while Ben will not change his attention, get out immediately!"
Bailiyan's right hand was horizontal, a rolling motion, and the angry messenger exploded his liver and lungs in anger, and then under the escort of the hundred-man team, he retreated to the shore and boarded the raft to escape back to the east bank.
"Hehaha, it's really relieving. The general just scolded his mother's crotch, what a good scolding! Su Hong's eyebrows danced without concealment, and he agreed with the slander and slander of the crotch of his pants.
"What is the use of words, the brethren are ready."
"It's all ready, according to your orders, the rolling logs and stones are ready, just waiting for these bastards to get into the trap. In addition, when Fang was scolding, the outpost caught three Jin Xuedi scouts, I don't know how the general will deal with it? ”
"Have you been tried?"
"Not yet."
"Let people go to trial immediately, and if they can't be tried, they will be put to death, and if they don't open their mouths, they will be escorted to the West Bank and beheaded to show them."
"The last general obeys!"
The situation is grim and abnormal, and it is by no means possible to retreat from the enemy with just a few words, and the final battle is still fist talking.
The envoy returned to the east coast to tell the story in detail, and the Jinxuedi people were so angry that they almost vomited blood:
"Legion Commander, these pigs are too deceitful, you should give them some color and let them know what upbringing is."
"Yes, these arrogant people don't know what to do, so they should be tortured to death with the most cruel criminal law, and they will be ashamed!"
The generals were filled with righteous indignation and vowed to kill Bailiyan and break the corpse into thousands of pieces.
Etis frowned, equally annoyed in his heart, when his own soldiers came to report:
"Commander Qiqi, the scouts we sent were taken to the west bank by them and killed!"
"What!" Etis was shocked: "These executioners! The order was given, De Mono and Axon led their troops to cross the shore and camp to cover the army and set up a pontoon bridge! ”
"Yes!"
Etis came prepared, carrying craftsmen and drawings for the construction of the pontoon bridge, which within a few days could connect the east and west shores for the transport of troops.
Jin Xuedi people built more than 100 rafts, can spend more than 3,000 people at a time, the front end of each raft is equipped with a honeycomb crossbow, which is a densely packed box crossbow full of giant crossbow arrows, using the side of the winch, through the pulley to the bowstring force, a winding five, each bowstring at a time to fire a row of ten giant crossbow arrows, fifty arrows like a honeycomb general vertical and horizontal arrangement, so it is named honeycomb crossbow, the range can reach two hundred steps away. However, winding is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not convenient to use.
"General, the white-haired thief has landed." Su Hong pointed to the west bank and said.
"It seems that we can't fight today, so let the brothers prepare more wooden shields to use in the future!"
"The last will obey."
Less than 15,000 people crossed the outer lake that day, and more than 5,000 people crossed the next day, and began to build pontoon bridges on rafts. The Xian army successively captured thirteen scouts of the Jin Xuedi people, and all of them were killed in front of the battle, but the angry Etis gritted his teeth but was helpless.
On the third day of the stalemate between the two armies, Bailiyan gradually impounded water in the cofferdam, and at the same time, the Jinxuedi people camped on the west bank began to cut down trees, cut down all the trees at the exit, and built pontoon bridges from the west bank to the east bank, seeking to dock in the lake to speed up.
"General, Jin Xuedi people are besieging but not attacking, and seeing that the pontoon bridge will be completed in a few days, let's just do it and wait." Su Hong said anxiously.
"Of course not, I would have asked Sikong Nan to rush to build weapons in the valley, but they have not yet arrived, and they will attack blindly, which is extremely unfavorable to our army."
"The general built the weapon?"
"You'll find out soon, hehe......"
Bai Liyan smiled inscruciously and looked up at the sky.
At night, Sikong Nan was belatedly escorting the "war weapons", and a large wooden cage made a buzzing sound.
"Brother Sikong is fortunate that he didn't hurt the brothers!" Baili Yan bowed slightly.
"The general's clever plan did not hurt a single soldier of mine."
"How many were caught?"
"More than 560 were caught, more than 120 sows, 70 or 80 piglets, and the rest were big boars. Except for the thirty big pigs and the king of pigs, the rest of the boars are here. ”
In order to capture a large number of wild boars, Baili Yan ordered Sikong Nan to dig a half-zhang deep pit in the place where wild boars are infested in the valley, dig a four-foot wide passage at one end of the pit, place a wooden cage at the other end of the passage, and then introduce the wild boar into the pit with grain, and the old man more than a dozen people held a shield to besiege the phalanx to drive it away, so that the wild boar fell into the pit, and finally drove into the wooden cage at the other end of the passage under the pit, which greatly avoided the casualties caused by hunting.
Seeing that Bai Liyan's so-called "war weapon" was just a wild boar, Su Hong was greatly disappointed.
"General, isn't this a wild boar!"
"Exactly, after a few days the Jinxuedi pontoon bridge is built, let's grease the wild boar, and then light the fire, so it is the fire pig array. Rush to kill the enemy camp with a fire pig, and break the enemy effortlessly. After the wild boar rushed the enemy camp and the fire boar was killed and wounded, our army attacked again, and the enemy army could be broken. ”
"Then why do you have to wait for the pontoon bridge to be repaired, and kill them at this time, why don't you drive them into the lake and drown?"
At this time, Sikong Nan said confidently with his short beard:
"Otherwise, the fire pig plan is fierce and sudden, and it can disrupt the enemy's formation. If the enemy is unable to cope with it in a short period of time, its military spirit will inevitably be shaken, and as long as the army's morale is loosened and some people flee, its formation will be self-defeating.
And there is a pontoon bridge behind the enemy as a way to retreat, and the Jinxuedi people must retreat to the pontoon bridge. But if there is no pontoon bridge, it is a battle against the water, once there is no way out, it is a dying needle to fight in a formation, so the fire pig is very easy to be killed by the Jin Xuedi people in the array.
Therefore, the pontoon bridge is both a retreat and a dead end, our army takes advantage of the situation to attack, the enemy is shaken, and will retreat to the east bank, so forced to fall into chaos and congestion, I am afraid that there are not a few people who fall into the river and die. ”
The wild boar is fierce and unusually full of fangs, its body size is huge and its strength is amazing, and the size of the wild boar is still larger than that of the domestic breeding pigs, and once it rushes into the crowd, it is difficult to resist its frontal impact even with a shield. Three hundred and dozens of wild boars were released together, and no matter whether they were arrayed or not, the casualties of the Jinxuedi people would not be small.
Four days later, at noon, when the Jinxuedi pontoon bridge was nearing completion, Etis was looking at the west bank with great ambition, and a fast horse galloped on the pontoon:
"Commander Qiqi, the rebels are assembled and are approaching our beachhead camp." The herald said quickly.
"How many of them are there?"
"More than six thousand."
"Only six thousand?"
Etis asked again and again, and the herald affirmed:
"Only more than 6,000 people!"
Etis was suspicious, and through days of observation, he knew very well that there were mountains on both sides of the forest path, and Bailiyan did not attack with all his strength, so there must be ambushes on the hills on both sides. Thinking of this, Etis said:
"Summons De Mono, Axon, hold on to the spot and not attack!"
"Yes!"
Etis was worried that it was a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, so that 20,000 people on the west bank would stick to their places and not come out, so it was in the hands of Bailiyan.
The Xian army lined up, and the front row was a miner under Tian Peng's command, holding a special thickened shield with a thickness of one inch, densely connected into a row, blocking between the north and south mountains from north to south, and the new battalion was lined up behind him, and the Xian army veteran stood behind the new battalion to press the formation.
In order to facilitate the march and build the pontoon bridge, Jin Xuedi cut down all the trees within five miles of the west bank as early as possible, and the unobstructed open space in front of him was not only beneficial to them, but also beneficial to Bailiyan.
