Chapter 1292: Hu Chuquan strikes the army and truces
After listening to Fang Ming's analysis, Hu Chuquan's heart was already on fire.
After thinking about it carefully, he also thought that the Shu army did not dare to face the battle, so he laid so many traps. Two days later, the wound on Hu Chuquan's buttocks scabbed, and the wound under the board of his left foot was much better, and it was no longer painful. Although Hu Chuquan couldn't ride a horse, he found a carriage and led 30,000 elite horsemen to the Shu army camp.
This time, Hu Chuquan took Fang Ming with him so that he could ask.
Hu Chuquan killed the Shu army camp, and he also learned a lesson. He sent a hundred people as the vanguard to explore the way first. In doing so, on the one hand, you can check whether there are any traps on the road ahead; On the other hand, it can also make the soldier burn the wooden stakes blocking the road, so that he can kill the Shu army camp.
After the vanguard burned the rows of wooden stakes blocking the road, Hu Chuquan swaggered towards the Shu army camp.
Galloping all the way, the army did not encounter obstacles, and the road was very smooth.
Coming to the front of the Shu army camp, Hu Chuquan showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and finally arrived at the Shu army camp.
Even though the Shu army arranged various fortifications such as horse rejection, arrow towers, and fences, Hu Chuquan was confident that he could kill it. At this moment, catapults appeared in the camp of the Shu army, all aimed at the Hun cavalry outside the camp. There were also Shu soldiers standing next to the catapult, some Shu soldiers were holding torches, and some Shu soldiers were holding gunpowder.
When this scene appeared, Hu Chuquan instinctively felt a little stunned.
From this point of view, the Shu army has been prepared for a long time.
Hu Chuquan looked at Fang Ming and asked, "Fang Ming, what do you say the Shu army in the camp is going to do?" ”
Fang Ming wanted to say that he didn't know either, but thinking of Hu Chuquan's violent character, he immediately changed his words and said: "Da Dan Yu, the Shu army camp visited the catapult that attacked the city, but there was no big stone, which is very strange. However, there were soldiers with torches around the catapult, presumably trying to drop something to burn us. ”
"Hahaha......"
Hu Chuquan laughed loudly and said: "That little thing of the Shu army, you still want to burn me, ridiculous, ridiculous!" ”
At this moment, Hu Chuquan secretly said in his heart that he was too timid, and he was frightened.
Hu Chuquan snorted and said disdainfully: "Hu Jun only knows how to play conspiracy, but in the face of absolute strength, everything is false. As long as Ben Shan gave an order, tens of thousands of Hun cavalry would launch a fierce attack. This order will not be ordered for the time being, and see what tricks the Shu army can play. ”
Fang Ming said: "Da Danyu, it's easy to change after a long time, let's attack the camp." ”
Hu Chuquan glared at Fang Ming, shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry first, let the Shu army be arrogant for a while, and then attack." Anyway, we arrived at the Shu army camp, and there will be no accidents. In fact, Hu Chuquan was afraid that the army would rush up and encounter traps, so he did not order an attack. Hu Chuquan was reluctant to expose his thoughts, so he found a reason to prevaricate Fang Ming.
Fang Ming had no choice but to look at the Shu army in the camp.
I saw Zhang Liao and Huang Xu come out and stand in the camp and command the soldiers to put gunpowder on the catapults.
"Ignition!"
At the sound of an order, the soldiers lit the fuse of the gunpowder.
The catapult creaked and thrust out, and the burning gunpowder whistled out, swept over the camp, and flew towards the Hun cavalry standing outside the camp. In this round of attacks, hundreds of catapults fired gunpowder. One after another, the fire snakes scurried in the air, rushing towards the Hun soldiers outside the camp, and quickly fell.
Hu Chuquan's carriage was in the middle of the army, but he saw a bag of gunpowder flying towards him, and the distance was getting closer and closer. Hu Chuquan didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's just something that ignites the fire, it's not surprising." ”
"Boom!!"
As the words fell, the gunpowder exploded six feet away from the spring.
The war horse under the crotch of the Hun cavalry was killed, and the Hun cavalry was also blown to a bloody blur. Fang Ming was only five feet away from the place where the gunpowder exploded, and the war horse under his crotch was also frightened, and even Fang Ming was frightened in his heart, and kept reining in the war horse, trying to calm down the war horse. But there were constant roars around them, and after the horses were frightened, they neighed and ran away in fright.
In an instant, the cavalry formation was in chaos, and the Hun cavalry was also roaring loudly,
"Boom!"
The explosions continued.
The neighing of war horses and the screams of soldiers are still ringing one after another.
A round of gunpowder attacks disrupted the rhythm of the Hun cavalry.
Hu Chuquan sat in the carriage, and at first it was very leisurely, and it was very comfortable, and the injury to his butt was not affected in any way. But the explosions were everywhere, the horses were frightened, and the horses pulling the carriages were also running wildly. Hu Chuquan sat in the carriage and repeatedly asked the groom to steady the carriage, but the horse was uncontrollable and kept jolting.
After a while, the freshly scabbed wound on Hu Chuquan's buttocks burst open, and the blood flowed profusely, and after a while, it stained the pants behind Hu Chuquan's buttocks, leaving two spots of blood.
Hu Chuquan secretly hated Fang Ming for not having knowledge, and he didn't even know things that could explode, which caused the army to be frustrated.
He glanced left and right and found that Fang Ming didn't know where to squeeze in.
Zhang Liao saw that the gunpowder had killed and injured the Hun soldiers, and did not stop, and continued to let the soldiers in the battalion project the ignited gunpowder. Bags of gunpowder burst out of the air, constantly flying towards the Hun cavalry outside the camp, falling to the ground and exploding. There were big pits on the ground, which made the Hun cavalry frightened, for fear of being blown up.
Seeing the chaos of the team, Hu Chuquan shouted: "Attack the camp, attack the camp immediately!" ”
He ordered the soldiers to storm the camp, trying to change the situation.
But the horses were out of control, and the soldiers were fleeing for their lives, and no one obeyed Hu Chuquan's orders.
Hu Chuquan glanced at the situation in the Shu army camp and found that the soldiers of the Shu army were still throwing explosive weapons one after another, and his heart was cold. He glanced at the Hun cavalry around him, and his heart ached. Because the cavalry scurried around each other, some of the war horses collided with the war horses, and the Hun cavalry immediately fell to the ground, and before they could stand up, they were trampled on by the rest of the war horses, and they were killed. Some soldiers stood up after falling off their horses, but they were knocked to the ground and trampled to death.
Cannibalism!
Hu Chuquan only thought of this word, but he couldn't stop it.
There were more and more Hun cavalry dead outside the Shu army camp, and they became more and more chaotic. Hu Chuquan was helpless in his heart, and ordered: "Order, withdraw the army!" The order was passed on, and the Hun soldiers immediately shouted to retreat.
The Hun cavalry retreated like a tide.
They slew their arms and slaughtered them, but they fled in disgrace.
Huang Xu was ready to lead the army to chase and kill, but was stopped by Zhang Liao.
On the surface, the Hun cavalry was indeed repulsed, but if the Shu army pursued and killed, once it was far away from the camp, the Hun cavalry could still fight back, and the Shu infantry would encounter danger.
Therefore, Zhang Liao blocked Huang Xu's pursuit.
Zhang Liao and Huang Xu looked at the departing Hun cavalry, ordered the soldiers to be on guard, and then returned to the camp.
Zhang Liao looked at Li Ru and Pang Tong, but there was not much joy on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "This time, with the unexpected attack of gunpowder, I repelled the Hun cavalry. But Hu Chuquan has experience, and it will be difficult to repel Hu Chuquan next time. Moreover, in today's battle, the gunpowder in the camp is almost exhausted, and if the Huns kill again, it will be difficult to resist! ”
Li Ru said with a smile: "My lord, Hu Chuquan suddenly encountered gunpowder, and the Hun cavalry also encountered such a situation for the first time, so they must have been broken and did not dare to come again." Besides, Hu Chuquan doesn't know how much gunpowder we have, so don't worry. ”
Pang Tong also nodded and said, "My lord, Hu Chuquan has been frustrated again and again, and his morale is low. Today, he was attacked by gunpowder again, and his momentum was no longer there. He didn't dare to act rashly, because he didn't know what else we could do. What needs to be done now is to hold the camp and wait for news from Gan Ning and Tai Shici, once the Zuo Xian King and the Right Xian King are annihilated, it will be much easier. ”
Zhang Liao bowed slightly, secretly praying that Gan Ning and Tai Shici would win.
Huang Xu scratched his head, showing a helpless look, staying in the camp but not being able to go into battle to fight, it's really boring!
