Chapter 354: Barbed Wire
Set a strategy, and while sending people to inform Gaoxian County, speed up the march.
After another day, Ye Chen and the others rushed to a place three hundred miles away from Gaoxian County.
"My lord, you want to stop the enemy here? There are only a few small hills here, and although we have an advantage in holding the hillside, the slope is not large, and they are all cavalry, and they charge up after a few more charges. ”
As soon as he heard that Ye Chen wanted to establish a blocking ground on these small slopes, Guan Yu put forward his opinion, from a military point of view, this place is indeed very unsatisfactory.
"Further on, the terrain is flat, and there is simply no place to stop the enemy. In the future, it will be a long way to establish a blocking ground, and the distance is too far, I am afraid that they will not have time to retreat there, and they will be overtaken by Xianbei. But here, the distance is just right. ”
"Besides, although this is not an ideal blocking location, we can make this an ideal blocking location, blocking the pursuing soldiers here, and even killing and injuring a large number of enemies."
Guan Yu and Tai Shici were very puzzled, if they wanted to build a sniper point that could block the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, the amount of work must be not small, and it could not be built in a short time, however, they did not have much time to wait.
"Second brother, I'm afraid we don't have much time." Tai Shi Ci was also very puzzled, but seeing that Ye Chen still looked full of confidence.
"Don't worry, the sniper point I set up is very easy, it can be done overnight, do you remember, when I passed through Shenyang City, I found a lot of iron bars and wires from the construction site I found there? It's going to make a big difference here. ”
"Iron bars and wire?"
Guan Yu and Tai Shici were very puzzled, these two things didn't seem to be able to stop the cavalry. With a charge, the wire thinner than the little finger broke.
Doubts are doubts, but since Ye Chen has confidence, they can only follow suit.
Ye Chen ordered the soldiers to find a large number of tough rattans, and then asked people to cut down a large number of tree stumps.
Ye Chen had been directing the soldiers to operate, and Guan Yu and Tai Shici couldn't help much, so they watched curiously from the sidelines.
They were thinking, the rows of wooden stakes, the stakes were wrapped with iron wire, and the wire was covered with iron thorns, and the rattan was also hung with iron wire, and some were even tied with sharp knives.
There are more than a dozen rows, separated by about ten meters, for a total of more than a hundred meters.
A passage was cleared on both sides, and Guan Yu and Tai Shici understood these two passages, they let their own people pass, and a lot of stones and wood were prepared next to them, once their own people passed, and then the passage could be quickly blocked by using stones and wood, so that it became two dead ends.
When the enemy came, he could only come from the front, but the front was the position set up by Ye Chen.
It's just this position...
Guan Yu and Tai Shici didn't see anything special, and they didn't even think that these facilities were useful, if it was him, he could break through alone, not to mention that the other party had thousands of troops.
A defense is more than a hundred meters, but this time Ye Chen brought a lot of materials, and then did it on a mountain bag in the back, until all six mountain bags were completed.
If the enemy wants to come, that is, he has to break through the six lines of defense set up by Ye Chen.
According to Ye Chen's arrangement, these wooden stakes and barbed wire fences stopped the enemy, and the soldiers stood on the small hillside to attack, to be honest, these small hillsides are very low, dozens of meters high, and the slope is very gentle, you can rush up at will.
Guan Yu and Tai Shi Ci didn't understand it very much, and spent the whole night in doubt, but they wouldn't question Ye Chen, and when the time came, they would just have a good fight.
The next morning, all six lines of defense were in place. Ye Chen stood on the hillside and looked at it from a distance, very satisfied, he ignored the black lines of Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu next to him, and admired it proudly.
"This is probably the world's first barbed wire position."
Of course, barbed wire alone is not enough, and barbed wire is only powerful with the Maxim machine gun.
But where does Ye Chen have any Makqin machine guns now, but it doesn't matter if there is no machine gun, and the enemy doesn't have it either, I just stand on the hillside and shoot arrows, thousands of people shoot together, and the power is not lost to one or two Makqin machine guns.
After preparing here, Ye Chen asked people to send a message to Gao Xian County, asking them to prepare to break through.
After dawn, Kirbineng's scouts found out about the situation and immediately reported it to Kirbineng.
"My lord, about 10,000 Han troops appeared in the south of Gaoxian County, they stopped there, and then made a lot of wooden stakes and blocked them with rattan, as if they wanted to stop us."
Kirby could hear it and laugh.
"Haha, I think they are undoubtedly reinforcements from the Han army, and they are here to meet the retreat of the people in the city, but they are so cowardly, seeing that we are strong, they don't dare to approach, and they even make some wooden stakes to block us."
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it must be that the Han general is afraid of being blamed, so he came up with this ridiculous thing. Not to mention the stakes, even the copper walls are impregnable, and our army can also level them. Kirby can say very confidently.
When the generals heard this, they all agreed, and said that Kirby could be wise, and in their opinion, how could a few wooden stakes stop their tens of thousands of troops?
Zheng Bai in the city received Ye Chen's order and immediately ordered to prepare, fortunately, this place is close to the grassland, there is no shortage of horses in the city, and when tens of thousands of people come from Wuhuan, they all come on horseback.
Zheng Bai understood that they would not be able to break through the siege, because although there were a lot of supplies in the city, there were tens of thousands of people at once, and no matter how many reserves they had, they couldn't afford to spend it, and now Ye Chen sent a large army to meet their retreat, of course they had to retreat.
The city began to prepare, and Xianbei outside the city also found out about the situation and immediately reported it to Kirbineng.
"My lord, they are going to break through, are we ready to cover up all the way?" Kirby's generals suggested.
"Nope. Slaughtering those ordinary people will not do us any good to grow in strength. This time they retreated, they would definitely arrange for their soldiers to cover. There are nearly 10,000 warriors in their city, and it is really not worth fighting with them, and the command weakens our strength. Kirby looked like he was in control, explaining to his generals.
"Then my lord, do you want to let them go like this?"
"No, as long as we find an opportunity to kill all their warriors, then no matter how many people there are, there is no threat to us, on the contrary, no matter how many people we kill, as long as their warriors are still there, they will be a threat to us. We followed them south, waiting for news from the Huns, and when the time was ripe, we ate their army, and then the whole of Liaodong was left to our warriors. ”
"Your Excellency is wise."
"Your Excellency is clever."
Kirbyneng's subordinates touted it, and Kirby Neng himself felt that his strategy was very clever.
