Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Burning Torch
Yun Yue stood on the carriage, holding a telescope in her hand and scanning constantly.
The marching speed of the Donghu people is not very even, some are fast and some are slow. And those who move slowly are usually tribes with rich looting filth. Unfortunately, the Su Shen Ministry's Lai Lat also belonged to the kind of people who had relatively rich loot. He not only packed and took away many Chinese people's goods, but also took away many Chinese women. In the Sushen tribe, women, cattle and sheep are all property.
A large number of pack horses and ox carts slowed down the pace of the cautious people, and Yun Yue caught up with him almost without much effort. The forward cavalry fought a few battles with the Syrians, and the mournful Lai Lak was the first to discover when the enemy infantry was coming to battle in a four-wheeled carriage. Decisively stopped the march, and on the one hand asked for help from Murong Tuoba, while arranging the army to prepare for a decisive battle with these guys who caught up.
Contrary to the expectations of the first of the Qila, the cavalry of these Chinese people was very powerful. It was much more powerful than they thought, and their bows were far away. Ordinary Donghu cavalry, whether in riding or fighting, is difficult to match them. Could it be that the Pingliang Army is chasing after you? The performance of the Huaxia army reminded Qi Lat of the difficult Pingliang cavalry.
The big banner with black characters on a red background fluttered in the cold wind, and it was not until I saw this big flag that I was sure. It was Pingliang's cavalry who pursued him, thinking of fighting the Pingliang army. Qi Lat also felt a little lacking in confidence, so he inevitably sent a messenger to ask for rapid reinforcements from the nearby Donghu tribe.
Yun Yue looked at the cautious people who surrounded the city and cowered behind the car formation. This is the standard defensive formation of the steppe peoples, hiding behind the Lele cart can avoid the opponent's arrows, and can also guard against the charge of the opponent's cavalry.
This trick worked very well against steppe peoples, such as the Huns. Archers hiding behind Lehrer's chariots can inflict heavy casualties on oncoming cavalry, and spear-wielding guys can also deal with cavalry rushing in on horseback. But for Yun Yue's Yun family's Pingliang army, this tactic is to die.
"Which of your tribes is this?" Yun Yue pointed to the big black flag on the opposite side. The black flag is painted with a hideous white tiger, fluttering in the wind with its teeth and claws.
"Prudence! Their big man is called Lai Lak Yexian, who is a well-known warrior in Donghu. It is difficult to break through the circle formations formed by the Lele chariots, and if the cavalry is forcibly sent to assault, the losses will be great. Murong Dan was surprised by the magic of the telescope, and looked at it for a while and gave Yun Yue a kind reminder.
"Charge such a formation with cavalry? That's what you used to do? Yun Yue looked at Murong Dan like a fool, whether it was cavalry or infantry impacting such a car formation, it was not Yongwu, it was fucking suicide.
"Yes! We used to deal with the Huns like this, and the Huns did the same to us. A lot of people will die when you rush into battle, and your army is very strong, but it will also kill a lot of people in comparison. Murong Dan said very confidently. Looks like she doesn't have a trebuchet in her head yet. She has to teach this girl a lesson with practical actions, otherwise she doesn't know what the power of modern technology is.
"Qi Guobiao ......!" Yun Yue's carriage Qian was standing with many general-level officers, waiting for Yun Yue to deliver orders.
"Whoa......!" Qi Guobiao, who had lost an arm, stood up and gave Yun Yue a military salute with his left hand. In the battle with Alexander, the state of Qi was extremely brave. But the arm of his right hand was also abolished, and Qi Guobiao, who was missing half an arm, obviously couldn't mix in the cavalry anymore. So Yun Yue found another job for Qi Guobiao, and the commander of the ballista battalion was also promoted to lieutenant colonel. It is only one step away from his second brother Qi Guoxing.
"You take your trebuchet and go up and smash it with a jar of kerosene. The first and second infantry divisions will come forward to protect you, and the cavalry divisions will be ready as long as the enemy is burned out, and shoot Lao Tzu on the spot. Along the way, you've seen the massacres of Chinese villages, so don't take prisoners in this battle. Take their heads and pay tribute to the dead innocent in China. Sons, testify your deeds with your sword! ”
"Whoa!" The generals in front of the carriage shouted in unison. Along the way, they saw the tragic scene of the Donghu people slaughtering the village and destroying the village, and they had long hated it in their hearts. Now I see that the cars of these Donghu people are loaded with things from Huaxia people. Why don't you know that this is the murderer who robbed and slaughtered the Chinese people. Hou Ye is right, use their heads to pay tribute to the dead souls. Blood debts can only be repaid with blood!
All the generals and colonels went down with a roar, and the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions were the first to go into battle. The four-wheeled carriage rushed to the front of the two armies and stopped when it was six hundred paces away from the Donghu people. The huge car body came over, and after getting off the brake, it stood in front of the Donghu people like a mountain beam. The foot soldiers on the cart raised their crossbows, and the "creaking" of the winding sounded loudly. The dense crossbow arrows were aimed at the camp of the Donghu people, and as long as anyone dared to rush out, they would definitely be shot into hedgehogs.
Then the one-armed Qi Guobiao commanded the four-wheeled carriage to follow behind the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions, and reached a distance of 700 paces. All the carriages were turned upside down, and the soldiers lifted the canvas to reveal a torsional trebuchet inside. The observers began to aim at the Donghu car formation, and the gunners shook the winch with all their might. When the winch reached the bottom, the loader loaded the jar of oil on top and waited for the moment of firing. This is the standard tactic of the Yun family, and it has been trained many times on weekdays. Now the soldiers are completely mechanically operating according to the training on weekdays, step by step.
Qi Lat was also surprised by the performance of Pingliangjun first, he couldn't understand what Pingliangjun was doing. What is it to do if you set up another line of defense in front of your own defense? Are they afraid to rush over themselves? He didn't have to wait long for a trumpet to be heard. Then countless fireballs flew into his array, and Lai Lak didn't understand it yet. Exclamations and screams have been screaming!
The formation of the front army was the worst, and no less than fifty oil jars were thrown in. When it fell to the ground, the fire was connected, and the whole Lele car formation became a sea of fire. Countless Donghu cavalrymen and horses were running wildly with fire on them, and the Lele chariot used to hinder the enemy cavalry became an obstacle to his escape at this time. Soon the Lehrer car was also on fire, and the whole car array was enveloped in the sky. The oil jar on the opposite side is still being thrown into it, and the car array has become a hell on earth. The wails and screams of the Donghu people are like terrible ghosts, and people are terrified when they hear them.
Ratat was also dumbfounded, and from his point of view, the entire array of cars had burned into a huge torch. Everything was reduced to ashes in the raging fire.
PS: I recommend a good book "Extreme Mercenary", I believe that Lao Long is worth reading. (To be continued.) )
