The reason why Qin Ze said this was because Zhou Cheng had already made contact with Zhang Bao and them. So I also know about the reinforcements of the iron bones.

The other party was able to dispatch three thousand iron horsemen this time, which meant that Yehulu was definitely not a hundred miles outside Lingzhou City as Cheng Chu meditated. It is very likely that the other party has already sneaked up and approached Lingzhou City.

What is the concept of three thousand iron horses, if it is on such flat ground. As long as the Turkic iron cavalry charges, except for gunpowder bullets, it is invincible.

The reason why Datang lost in the war against the Turks is nothing more than three words - mobility.

In the previous battles of the Turks against the Tang Dynasty, the Turks rarely took advantage of the battle in the city, and most of the victories came from avoiding the real and attacking the false, and using the cavalry to quickly and detour the way to flank the Tang army's defense line, so as to break it in one fell swoop.

The Turkic Iron Rider was the strongest existence in the steppe at this time, coming and going like the wind. And because of the Turkic horsemanship, and the Turkic location in Mongolia, iron ore is extremely rich. And it itself is known for its mastery of smelting, so many cavalry will wear heavy armor.

And in flat areas, as long as the Turkic iron cavalry starts to charge, they can tear apart all the formations in front of them.

Compared with the Turks, the Tang Dynasty originally lacked war horses. First, because the war has long consumed a large number of war horses, and secondly, because there is no suitable pasture. If it weren't for Tang Gaozong's "redemption" of the Hetao region from the Turks, it is estimated that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty would not be even stronger.

So now that I heard the Turkic three thousand iron horsemen rushing in, how could I not make Chen Yanguan and the others anxious. It can be said that if it weren't for Qin Ze and Sun Yufu, who were still sitting calmly on the ground, it is estimated that Chen Yanguan would have directly led his troops to break through.

The reason why Qin Ze was so calm was because he knew that Zhang Bao and the others had already dug a hole in the ground. And Sun Yufu is so calm because he doesn't think Qin Ze is a person who is not afraid of death.

So the two of them sat on the ground so casually, Sun Yufu glanced at the anxious soldiers around him, shook his head and asked Qin Ze with a smile: "Why is Deputy Lieutenant Qin so confident, but he has a countermeasure to the iron cavalry on the north side?" ”

Qin Ze stretched his waist, but he looked up at Xi Shan on the side. Then he said, "Didn't you send someone to dig a trench a few days ago?" And why worry here? ”

"Does Deputy Lieutenant Qin think that Lvshuai Zhang can dig a trench under the nose of Tie Legu?"

Sun Yufu was also a little curious, but he looked at Xi Shan with Qin Ze's eyes.

He could see Su Dingfang and the others running on the ridge, and at the same time, he could hear the sound of gunpowder bombs exploding.

Qin Ze felt that his performance today was very good, under the ambush of thousands of iron horsemen on all sides, he could still talk and laugh like this, it was really a good story.

It's just that he lacks a few jugs of wine, and he can't highlight his heroism.

Anyway, before Su Dingfang attacked Xi Mountain, Qin Ze was idle. He stayed here and did not move, firstly, to contain the Turkic soldiers behind him and tell them not to approach Xishan. Second, he was afraid that Tie Le Gu would see the abnormality and run away. So I'm also willing to chat with Sun Yufu at this time.

"What does Sun Senjun think is the most important thing for a general to march and fight?" Qin Ze asked with a smile.

"Soldiers are arranged, they are charged, the soldiers are killed, and the generals are killed. This is the words of a soldier, and everything is the most important trade-off. Deputy Lieutenant Qin is so unconcerned, if he goes out on a business trip, won't he lose everything? Sun Yufu also replied with a smile.

"There is no suspicion in employing people, this soldier is a blade, but if the blade is mastered by one person, something will happen after all. In the past, the Han emperor was inferior to Fan Zeng in literature and martial arts, but he was able to dominate the Qin family, so he focused on delegating power and employing people. If I do not do anything very small, there will be omissions. For the sake of the trade-off, but also in the use of people. "What Qin Ze said is actually incompatible with the era of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a general or a son like today, they are all talking about centralization, and only he will be so relieved to hand over all his strength to his subordinates.

There were several explosions above Xi Mountain, and Su Dingfang and the others had already rushed to the second line of defense. Several boulders rolled down the hill and caused them a lot of damage.

But under the raging of gunpowder shells, the defense line was directly breached. Just like Qin Ze said, he wouldn't tell Su Dingfang what to do, he only cared about what the result was.

Once the second line of defense is broken, the last line of defense is the most dangerous. Tie Legu guarded all the Turkic soldiers halfway up the mountain. Where the terrain is relatively flat, there are steep mountains further up.

In other words, if Su Dingfang wants to attack Hagar Peak, they must rush through this clearing.

This is the most dangerous, the Turks are condescending, if they keep shooting with bows and arrows, Su Dingfang and they are afraid that they will not be able to rush in front of the other party.

And in this situation, gunpowder shells should also be used with care. If it's a boulder that can't blow down a large area, it's not your own people who suffer.

The Turks are condescending, and the terrain here is flat, so it is impossible to go around slowly. Su Dingfang gathered his men and horses together, and then ordered all the cavalry to tie themselves to the belly of the horse.

Then the armor of the Turks is draped over the horses, and the next thing is to see luck. As long as the horses can withstand the Turkic bows and arrows, then they can smoothly rush forward......

On Gagar Peak, Tie Legu covered his shoulders and looked at the reinforcements getting closer and closer on the north side with a distorted expression.

Qin Ze is already too late, before Su Dingfang and them attack Gajia'er Peak, those reinforcements will arrive, and when the time comes, he will definitely hold Qin Ze behind the horse and drag him all the way back to the Chinese army's tent!

This is Tie Legu's biggest dream now, but unfortunately it is not noticed by the system.

At the bottom of the mountain, Qin Ze sat up from the ground leisurely, and glanced at Tie Legu and the others on Gagar Peak, although he couldn't see the appearance of the other party clearly, but Qin Ze knew that Tie Legu must be very excited now.

Because his reinforcements are coming!

Three thousand iron horsemen, once they charged, without dense gunpowder bullets, even Qin Ze couldn't stop them.

"This time the Turkic reinforcements came strangely, I am afraid that Hulu has already approached Lingzhou City. After the end of the horse market, it is better to return to the city as soon as possible. Although the Turks had strong cavalry, they were too far behind in the siege. ”

Sun Yufu also stood up from the ground and looked over following Qin Ze's eyes.

When Qin Ze heard this, he shook his head and laughed. Sun Yufu felt a little inexplicable when he laughed, and he had to say that Qin Ze gave him a lot of different ideas.

It can be said that Qin Ze is much stronger than him in terms of military opinions. Especially his previous sentence that there must be omissions in every detail, which is simply a kind of subversive thinking.

Now seeing Qin Ze's expression again, he also asked curiously: "Does Deputy Lieutenant Qin have a different opinion?" ”

For Qin Ze, a person who stands outside history, he knows even more about the current development of the Turks than the Turks themselves.

"Has Sun joined the army ever heard of the Tooth Army? The Turks are already different, if you stick to Lingzhou, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

It is true that the Turks are indeed known for their cavalry, and Jieli has always put all his energy into training cavalry. Naturally, there are some deficiencies in the siege of the city.

After all, for the Turks, a nomadic people, there was no concept of a city at all. In their hearts, where there is pasture, there is their home, which is simply a fortress of mobility.

But that was all before, in the early years of the war between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, the strong bows and crossbows of the Sui Dynasty army dealt a great blow to the Turkic army.

Therefore, since the return of the Qimin Khan to the Sui Dynasty, the Turks have actively learned military techniques such as crossbow and arrow manufacturing from the Central Plains.

In recent years, the Turks have been plundering the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, just to make up for their own shortcomings. So after all these years of discovery, the Turkic army has also been very developed in siege equipment. Among them, the elite "Tooth Army" of Jieli Khan is the leader, this army specifically aimed at the Tang City, has hundreds of large and small siege equipment, whether it is climbing the ladder or turning the claw, it is everything.

I'm afraid that only Qin Ze himself knows this, but he can't say it too clearly. After all, for Sun Yufu, this is almost incredible.

The Tang Dynasty had no fast horses, and the Turks had no fortified cities.

This is in the past, although Jieli is not satisfactory in governing the country, but he is extremely talented in marching and fighting foreign plunder.

He could only say half of these words, so Sun Yufu took it as a joke at most. He didn't believe that the Turks, who dealt with cattle and sheep all day long, would have such a developed level of technology.

Yes, when Datang is surprising the Turks, the Turks are not surprising the Datang!

……………………

On top of Xi Mountain, a cyan flag was erected and waved three times at Qin Ze in the air.

"Everyone, prepare!"

Qin Ze stopped chatting with Sun Yufu, and the cyan flag was played, which meant that Su Dingfang was about to break through the third line of defense.

He must take advantage of this time to rush up to Xi Mountain, otherwise if Tie Legu reacts and orders the Turkic cavalry behind him to rush up, it is estimated that Qin Ze will lose a large number of men and horses.

The sword was tense, and the blue muscles on Tie Ranggu's face were abrupt. The Turkic scouts behind him kept reporting the latest news.

"The reinforcements are only five miles away from here, and it will take a cup of tea at most......"

"The third line of defense can't hold out for long......"

"Report, the Tang army under the mountain has begun to approach Xishan......"

Tie Legu's eyes were already bloodshot, and he didn't care about the third line of defense now. He only cared if his three thousand iron horsemen could rush up.

"Haha, you lost. No one can compare with the speed of my Turkic iron horseman, you can't rush up. ”

Indeed, judging from the distance, it was impossible for Qin Ze to rush to Xishan before the Turkic reinforcements.

But......

Just like Qin Ze said, Tie Legu has never had any reinforcements.

The three thousand iron horsemen almost shook the entire ground, and Zhang Bao and the others quickly drilled into the hole on the side.

At the same time, ten gunpowder bullets had burned to the end......

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

A series of explosions sounded, and a trench dozens of zhang long and several zhang wide on one side suddenly appeared at the feet of the Turkic iron horsemen......

Reinforcements, let's be terracotta warriors obediently!
