Half an hour later, Hou Cheng commanded the soldiers to laboriously bring five catapults and twenty bed crossbows.

"General Gao, you can do it!" Hou Cheng ordered someone to install a trebuchet and a bed crossbow.

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "Don't you think it's strange? ”

"What's so strange?" Hou Cheng asked incomprehensibly.

"If you, the river defense has been lost, the enemy reinforcements are arriving one after another, and your forces are starting to be at a disadvantage, and you may even be completely annihilated, what will you do?"

"You mean that Li Le is not moving, and there is fraud in it?" Hou Cheng began to think about Gao Shun's question as he spoke, and when he was young, he said: "If it were me, I would never stand still and wait for the enemy's reinforcements to cross the river, it would be completely Song Xiang's benevolence." I will take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and insufficient troops to launch a counterattack, drive the enemy down the river, reoccupy the river defense, and attack the enemy's reinforcements at Bandu. If I see that the enemy is in great difficulty, I will choose to retreat for a while, and then use my geographical advantages, people and advantages to carry out uninterrupted attacks on the enemy, so that the enemy will not be able to live in peace. Wait until the reinforcements arrive, and then blow up all the tired enemies! ”

"If it were me, I would also choose this method, and not far away is Wugong County, I will choose to retreat into Wulaogong County, defend the city, and wait for reinforcements to relieve the siege. As long as one day of martial arts is in hand, the enemy will be like a man's back, and he will not dare to go deep into the hinterland of Guanzhong. But if you look at it again, Li Le knew that our army was speeding up to cross the river, and the strength of the army was gradually reversing, why was he not moved? Neither fight nor retreat? ”

Hou Cheng's eyes lit up and said, "I understand, cavalry!" ”

"Yes, it's the cavalry, according to investigation, Li Le has fifteen or six thousand Xiliang cavalry in his hands, but since the battle, our army has not found its cavalry, so I judge that Li Le knows that the buildings on the edge of the river defense are lined up one after another, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, so he ordered the cavalry to set up an ambush somewhere, once our army attacks, he will pretend to be invincible, and lead the army to flee, if our army pursues at the end of the rank, it is likely to enter the ambush circle of the enemy cavalry, if it is attacked by the enemy cavalry at the place of a horse and a flat river, our army will pay a heavy price, Then Li Le could lead the army back to Weishui with the power of a great victory, and our army that was defeated by the main force was likely to be driven across Weishui! ”

Hou Cheng snorted coldly: "Hmph, he has a good idea......

"Li Le's appetite is too big, so the flaws are also very big, he definitely can't imagine that our army has no intention of annihilating him, his strategy is useless!"

Hou Chengdao: "How should we deal with it?"

After a while, Li Leruo retreated, and instructed the soldiers not to chase after him, but to stop in moderation, if he could bite off a piece of meat from his buttocks, it would be best, if not, not reluctantly! After waiting for the lord to lead the cavalry across the Weishui, we can go straight to Wugong and tell the soldiers that the purpose of temporarily letting go of the enemy is to annihilate them in the future! ”

"I see, is that an order to attack?"

"Go and give the order!"

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for the five catapults to roar, five large stones of more than 100 catties roared towards the enemy formation, and twenty bed crossbows also shot huge arrows at the enemy formation at the same time.

Li Le had already discovered that the Yizhou army had moved the trebuchet and bed crossbow that he had painstakingly arranged, and he immediately understood the plan of the Yizhou army, and had already ordered the soldiers to pay attention to dodging, and immediately shouted after dodging the attack of the first wave of trebuchets and bed crossbows, and retreated to the north with a look of fear, attracting the Yizhou army to pursue, and then using the cavalry that had not been used to annihilate the enemy, but he didn't know it, and his plan Gao Shun had already guessed clearly.

With Li Le's reminder, Xiliang Jun saw the big stone flying, immediately observed its angle, and chose a route to dodge. But nearly 20,000 people were crowded in a small place, and there was not much room to move and dodge, not to mention that the boulder was extremely fast, and it was almost instantaneous, leaving no time for them to dodge.

"Ah......" With the screams of the Xiliang army, five big stones fell on their heads, each stone had entered the tent, the least one also took away two Xiliang soldiers, and another stone was elliptical, although it was very irregular, but under the huge inertia, it smashed the two enemy soldiers into a piece of flesh and mud and then rolled up quickly in the enemy army, and the enemy soldiers died when they touched it, bringing up a bloody rain. The stone raged for about five zhang, and finally all its strength was dissipated after overwhelming the eleven flesh and blood bodies, and when it stopped, it was covered with flesh and blood, and behind it was a five-zhang long road paved with blood and flesh......

The bed crossbow is also hugely powerful, far exceeding the range and penetration of ordinary crossbow arrows, which often turn several enemy troops into a string of sugar gourds!

Five trebuchets and twenty bed crossbows inflicted a total of eighty or ninety casualties on the enemy. I don't know if the Xiliang army was born with a talent for acting or the attack of the trebuchet and the bed crossbow really scared them, and before the Yizhou army continued to attack, they shouted and shouted, turned their heads in horror and fled, some people thought that the weapon in their hands dragged themselves down, and they threw it on the road without thinking about it, and then they disliked the heavy armor on their bodies, and they didn't say anything, they continued to throw it, and some people shouted in their mouths, "The Yizhou army is powerful, I can't resist it, run away, I'll die if it's late" and so on.

"This ...... It's too similar......" Hou Cheng looked at the Xiliang Army who was fleeing for his life in panic, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"I see that the enemy army is really frightened, so I ordered the soldiers to chase and kill for a while, be careful not to fall in love with the battle, and collect the troops immediately after chasing out five miles!"

"Yes!" Hou Cheng responded, and the deputy commander of the Fourth Division led more than 5,000 people to chase the enemy like a tiger descending the mountain.

Gao Shun led the rest of the people to clear out the remnants of the enemy.

At this time, there were not many exposed Xiliang troops, Gao Shun turned his attention to the military camp of the Xiliang army, and with a general order, nearly 10,000 elite soldiers immediately divided into more than ten roads and pounced on the huge barracks of the enemy.

The number of remnants in the barracks was not large, but they often hid in the shadows and unexpectedly ambushed the Yizhou army, and for a while, the casualties of the Yizhou army soared.

Seeing that his own side had an absolute superiority in troops, and in the face of sporadic remnants, the casualties reached almost one to one, Gao Shun had to change his strategy and sent the soldiers of the first brigade to a team of 100 people, divided into more than ten teams, to clear the enemy camp, and the rest of the troops partly began to receive enemy supplies, and partly arranged them outside the barracks to prevent the enemy from escaping.

With the soldiers of the 1st Brigade in iron armor as the main force, the number of casualties suddenly dropped, and those sneak attackers often left only a scratch on their iron armor, but they themselves were killed one by one because they exposed their shapes.

An hour later, when Li Yan landed with 10,000 men of the 1st Division, the remnants of the enemy had already been wiped out.

For a whole morning, the Weishui battalion of the Xiliang Army completely fell into the hands of the Yizhou Army. The soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, arrange defenses, and clean up the bodies of their comrades who died in battle, as for the treatment of the enemy war dead, it was naturally much worse, under the custody of the Yizhou army, the captured Xiliang army dug many large pits in a depression on the bank of the river, and then the bodies of the Xiliang army were piled up in the pit, and after the lime was transported from the south bank, it was covered with lime, and finally covered with soil......

The military doctors at all levels of the army are the busiest, and they don't even have time to drink saliva, because they know that if they stop, even if they only delay a little time, maybe a comrade-in-arms who should not have died will die!

At this time, more than 100 small boats came over on the south bank, and the boats were filled with fragrant rice, hot steamed buns, beef soup, and braised pork (this is Liu Zhang's favorite dish in the previous life, a large piece of pork that is crystal clear like agate, half fat and thin, bite down, the taste is absolutely evocative, come to this life, the dish is either stewed or boiled, it was still very fresh at first, and slowly I couldn't stand it, so under his guidance, Yaoting let him regain the memories from the twenty-first century, and later, He also instructed Yaoting to use the cooking methods of later generations to make a lot of delicious food, all the people who paid for it were full of praise, and slowly these dishes spread out, and flourished very much, a very smart businessman in Chengdu immediately realized that this was a huge opportunity, so a "five-star" restaurant called Zhiwei of this era opened to welcome the business, it is said that every day is full, and the military room is popular Liu Zhang's development of these dishes).

After leaving some of the soldiers on duty, the others returned to their respective teams and lined up in a neat queue to receive their meals, and in an instant, the smell of blood on the battlefield was masked by the smell of food.

Gao Shun picked up a piece of fatty braised pork, and after gently biting off half of it, he said beautifully: "It's really good, if there is such a bowl of braised pork every day, it's like a fairy......"

Li Yan smiled and said, "It's really very popular, I really don't know how the lord came up with such a magical cooking method, I asked the one in my family, and she also said that she had never heard of it......"

"Okay, you two, I'm killing the enemy in front, you're quite comfortable......" An abrupt voice sounded.

Gao Shun and Li Yan turned their heads and saw that it was Hou Cheng who led the army back.

Gao Shun looked at the soldiers behind Hou Cheng and said loudly: "Brothers have worked hard, they all go to eat, the lord said, there is no limit to supply today, how many can be loaded, let's go!" ”

"Oh......" The soldiers cheered and rushed to the room.

Ignoring the blood stains on his hands, Hou Cheng grabbed a large piece of braised pork from Gao Shun's bowl, stuffed it into his mouth, bit it slightly, and couldn't help but close his eyes: "It's really him...... Damn has nothing to say, a word...... Mei ...... "bites a large piece of meat in her mouth, and her voice becomes a little slurred.

Gao Shun glared at Hou Cheng: "Look at your claws, what is dirty?" ”

Hou Cheng swallowed the braised pork in his mouth with a "grunt", and was still waiting to take it again, Gao Shun hurriedly moved away: "What are your hands disgusting, go and tidy up ......"

Hou Cheng didn't grab the meat, and he didn't get angry, and said, "Isn't this hungry?" It's been three or four hours since the last meal, and I've been hungry for a long time with my chest against my back, who cares if it's clean or not! Besides, it's not clean, and you don't get sick if you eat it! ”

Gao Shun glanced at Hou Cheng speechlessly, and handed all the dishes and chopsticks in his hand to Hou Cheng. Hou Cheng laughed, took it unceremoniously, and sat on the puddle of blood that had not yet been cleaned up.
