Chapter 14: The Pit
Huang Mingyuan, who was directing the army to counterattack, looked at Qin Yu who was holding a sharp blade with a resolute face, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said to Qin Yu: "Lord Garrison, at present, the southern army is less than three hundred steps away from my city wall, you see, the southern army's artillery formation is four hundred steps away, and there are a large number of shield soldiers and protective equipment to cover!" ”
"Why didn't our artillery return fire?" Qin Yu glanced in the direction that Huang Mingyuan pointed and asked lightly.
Huang Mingyuan said helplessly: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to fight back, but look at it, there are only five cannons on the city gate tower, and there is no trebuchet, so I still cry my father and tell my grandmother to come, and the war in other gatehouses is indeed more intense, and I am embarrassed to ask for it too much... And if we fight back now, I'm afraid that we will expose our artillery positions, and I want to use these five guns as surprise soldiers! ”
Qin Yu nodded, he hadn't forgotten the good thing of artillery, but it was too late at all, and it was impossible to improve this thing without years of research and accumulation.
Qin Yu looked at the charging soldiers in front of him and the scope of ordinary crossbow arrows, and said directly: "Order the crossbowmen to return fire!" But don't move the eight-bull crossbow yet, I have to be of great use too! ”
As soon as Qin Yu spoke, the overwhelming arrow rain poured out densely, watching such a large-scale arrow rain falling, constantly harvesting the heads of the Southern Army, Qin Yu couldn't help but shudder, if he was in the array of the Southern Army...
Although the combat strength of the Southern Army is not as good as that of the Yan Army, no one has taken a step back, not that everyone is not afraid of death, but if they retreat and are regarded as deserters, they can't escape the big sword of the war team, and retreating is also death, it is better to die in battle. More importantly, the matter of deserters must be passed on to the place of household registration, and the eighteen generations of ancestors will not be able to raise their heads.
The soldiers of the Southern Army, who understood this, saw blood again, and naturally became more fearless of death, shouting loudly to give themselves courage, and the speed of rushing forward was even faster.
Qin Yu didn't have much effort at this time to feel that life is fleeting or something, anyway, today is either you die or I live, I have to work hard!
Suddenly, Qin Yu found that he didn't have much to do, and after thinking about it, Qin Yu didn't want to just look at it, so he picked up the long knife and walked around, constantly cheering up the soldiers, not to mention, the effect was quite good, morale, especially in the era of cold weapons, was quite important.
Looking at the southern army that was constantly approaching with a group of ladders and many cavalry rushing to the front, Qin Yu smiled coldly, this time I will make you suffer a big loss!
"Poof, poof, sting, stinging!" The sound kept coming, Qin Yu smiled and looked at the trap he had laid out in front of him, there were not enough lives to fill it, who could cross the line?
It turned out that Qin Yu had already prepared, and had already organized a lot of people to dig down a huge pit with a depth of nearly ten meters and a width of nearly ten meters along the parallel direction of the city wall at a distance of only a hundred steps from the city wall, and the pit was covered with sharp spikes nearly one meter long, not only the bottom of the pit, but also the edge of the pit was covered with spikes, which looked very infiltrating densely, and the upper part was just covered with some rattan trellis ash and hastily covered.
In fact, it is not difficult to find it if you take a good look at it closely, but the situation is different at this moment, the southern army has already killed the red eye, rushed quickly, and found it, but it was too late.
People kept falling into the huge pit, and they didn't have time to scream before they returned to heaven, and the southern army did not put out an array, and the people were very compact, so the people who were constantly squeezed down were endless, and the Yan army was not idle, constantly harvesting the heads of the southern army.
After a long while, the general who was supervising the battle in front noticed something unusual, and hurriedly ordered: "Retreat!" Fall back! ”
The southern army, which had already been beaten by the Yan army, was so busy when he heard this that he retreated, who would want to die if he could live?
In this way, just one ravine was to block the first wave of the offensive of the Lenan army.
Looking at the southern army that had faded like a tide, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, wiped the dust on his face, and then said: "Hurry up and take a rest, the southern army will launch a second attack in a short time!" ”
Looking at the generals who retreated in less than half an hour after launching the attack, Zhang Lin looked very angry, but he also saw the situation on the mountain, and he really couldn't blame the generals, so he had to say in a deep voice: "Now that there is such a fork, you always have to find a way to solve it, what should you do?" ”
Although You Jun is dog-legged, he does have goods in his stomach, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he said in a sneaky manner: "General, this matter is simple, when the time comes, launch a charge, use the shield soldiers as a cover, and let the swordsmen and spearmen each carry a bag of soil, you don't need to fill it all up, just fill in two roads on the left and right, but this charge has to be in a good formation, and you can't rush as before!" ”
Glancing at You Jun with appreciation, Zhang Lin directly scolded the generals in front of the battle and said: "What are you still doing in a daze, go dig the soil for me, if you don't dig enough, you will fill it!" In any case, we must fight it today! ”
When the general heard this, he hurriedly turned around and left, and just like that, all the 10,000 soldiers who were in the front took shovels and sacks to shovel the soil, oh, no, now there are only more than 7,000 people!
