198: Only occupy the land and do not occupy the time
"You say... What the?!!! ”
Hearing Yin Chan's explanation, Ming Tian couldn't believe his ears.
If that's really the case, then... The 120,000 army did not come, not because it was delayed, but because it was a day late, it would be able to abolish all our magic arrows!
Yin Chan said.
It is recorded in history that when the first year of Yongtai in the Southern Qi Dynasty was on the eighth day of the seventh month, the clouds came from the west, and then Luokou County suddenly rained heavily, thunder and lightning, and when it arrived, the water depth had reached six feet. The next day, the rain stopped, and the water was more than three feet high.
A foot in this era is close to a quarter of a meter in modern times.
This is a very famous Luokou flood incident in history, which caused more than 30,000 casualties.
That is, exactly today?!!
Luokou is only thirty kilometers away from here, and if there is a big flood there, then no matter how lucky Jialuguan is, it will inevitably rain heavily!
The magic arrow relies on gunpowder to launch, not to mention the rain, even if it is damp, it will affect the use, once it rains, it means that it is all scrapped!
No wonder the 120,000 troops that were supposed to come today didn't come, it turned out ...
Although Pang Chong is also an ancient person, as a bug-type traverser, the amount of knowledge he has is not inferior to that of contemporary scholars, and he must know this kind of thing.
Moreover, Yangzhou Mingtian used the resources of the Chaos Ripper to create six Divine Machine Arrows, so Pang Chong must also have the production method of Divine Machine Arrows.
However, the Divine Machine Arrow was at best a siege and defensive weapon, not suitable for their 120,000 army, and Ming Tian could rely on the terrain to exert the power of the Divine Machine Arrow.
But... If there is a big flood at this time, then the geographical advantage here will be leaked a lot!
Is the 120,000 army led by Pang Chong aiming at this opportunity?
Ming Tian finally understood what that foreboding feeling was today!
Damn it!
Isn't this just a land occupation and not a natural time?
"Pass the order down, withdraw the Divine Arrow! Withdraw as much as you can! If you can't remove it, you can remove the gunpowder from the arrow and use it as an ordinary arrow! Build additional tents in the camp to protect the Divine Arrows! Send 5,000 more defenders to the pass and bring 10,000 angular bows over! And do your best to reclaim the rockfall! ”
Realizing that something was wrong, Ming Tian hurriedly threw down a tiger talisman and conveyed the military order!
"Yes!"
The herald received the tiger talisman and rushed out of the tent in a hurry!
And the moment the tent opened the curtain, Ming Tian clearly saw that in the western sky, a large number of dark clouds were slowly coming! From time to time, you can also see lightning and thunder under the dark clouds!
The intensity of this thunderstorm is rarely seen in Ming Tian's life for more than thirty years!
Worst!!!!
Mingtian sighed when he saw this!
There is nothing above the top of this Jialu Pass, and the battle must be shouted loudly, if 10,000 soldiers fight on it, and they are still screaming in the rain, wouldn't it...
They're going to be killed by lightning?!
But take them down?
Ming Tian was about to revise the order, but stopped his movements the moment he stretched out his hand.
No way! Can't be withdrawn!
The topography of Jialu Pass is the only advantage of this battle!
Such a strong thunderstorm will kill people, but it is impossible to kill everyone, and at most it will cost two or three thousand for no reason.
Coupled with heavy rain and enemy resistance, we are afraid that we will suffer heavy losses.
However, no matter how heavy the losses are, they will definitely be able to kill a large number of soldiers on the other side, and if they retreat, it will be equivalent to giving Jialu Pass to others!
Once the enemy breaks through the Jialu Pass, more than 30,000 people on our side have no chance of winning at all!
No way! Can't be withdrawn!
Although he knew that it would cause a lot of losses, Mingtian finally decided not to withdraw his troops!
This Jialu Pass is the first line of defense of the Di people, and it is also the last line of defense, and it is also the strongest line of defense.
Once lost, everything is over!
"I... I would have forgotten about the Luokou water. Yin Chan sat on the Hu Zha with his head covered, and his face was pale at the moment: "I... I'll kill all the soldiers. ”
Obviously, this responsibility is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.
Ming Tian looked at her and knew that if this situation was put on him, he would not be much better than her.
But...
"Stand up."
Ming Tian helped her up, held her arms with both hands and shook her violently to pull her back to reality: "Yin Cicada!" Listen to me! We still have time, wait for me and An Luo to go to the front line to command, although the time is not with us, but we have a geographical advantage, we can hold them off for a long time, you have to figure out a way to let us win, so there is no time for you to blame yourself here, do you understand? ”
Yin Chan's lips were pale at the moment, and his eyes were already full of despair: "No... I can't! In my previous life, because of a mistake in decision-making, 100,000 marines died because of me in the battle against the Zerg, I... I really can't do it. ”
Past...
Ming Tian looked at her and reacted.
That's right, Yin Chan told me that she came back in 2458, I heard that she was born in Chinese medicine, and then joined the planetary marines, and when she died, she was mixed with the major.
But she never told me how she had died in her previous life.
Hearing it today, Ming Tian could probably understand why she had such a big reaction because of a bad decision.
If 100,000 people were killed in a previous life, it was indeed not something that ordinary people could bear.
If the current situation coincided with her previous life, it would be no wonder that she would collapse.
Although he didn't know much about her past life, Ming Tian still didn't blame her for anything when he looked at her.
Picking up the sword and putting on the cloak, Ming Tian walked up to the sluggish Yin Chan and said: "No matter what, I have to go, I and An Luo, and there are still 10,000 lives to please, you have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to use, before we can't hold it, we must come up with a way to let us win, please!" ”
With a heavy slap on the shoulder, Ming Tian gave her a trusting look before turning around and leaving the tent.
Staying alone in the tent, Yin Chan looked at the map blankly, his small fists clenched.
"I'll do my best, Mingtian... I'll do my best! ”
… On the other side...
After an hour of riding, Mingtian arrived at the top of Jialuguan Mountain.
At this time, the originally cloudless sky was already covered by black and oppressive dark clouds, as if a black giant beast had swallowed the entire sky, and the remaining blue horizon in the east was also being eaten by this giant beast called Dark Cloud at a very fast speed.
Suffered!
Not even a single one of the Divine Arrows has been withdrawn now, and the soldiers are desperately smashing the rocks with big pickaxes to reclaim the stones used to smash people.
If you lose the Divine Arrow, only the bow and falling rocks will be effective.
Although the effect is not small, it is absolutely impossible to compare to the power of the divine arrow.
Yin Chan's specially made improved version of the Divine Machine Arrow has one hundred and twenty-eight arrows, which can all pour out in one minute, and two hundred arrows are fifty thousand arrows.
In the process of loading and switching arrow sets, you can also let people use the horn bow design as an auxiliary output, and if you cooperate with falling rocks, it can be said that if you want to storm Jialu Pass, you will have to kill as many people as you come.
You are a shield, so a large number of arrows can directly smash your shield!
But now the Divine Arrow can't be used because of the rain, and it can't kill many people with falling rocks and horned bows alone.
If they set up shields, then the only thing that can really kill the enemy is falling rocks.
I hope that Yin Chan can come up with a way during this time!
Now you can only trust her!
Just as Ming Tian and An Luo were anxiously directing their work, suddenly, Ming Tian felt a chill on his face.
I wiped my fingers and found that it was a drop of water.
It's raining?!
Immediately after that, the second drop, the third drop... The rain was falling in a hurry.
This rain directly skipped the step of light rain and directly turned into moderate rain, and it is still rapidly intensifying!
Meanwhile.
"Report !!!"
The herald ran over, knelt down in a hurry, and said, "Twenty miles to the east, the enemy has been discovered!" ”
Here it comes?!
Ming Tian was stunned, this coincidental time confirmed Yin Chan's guess even more.
Pang Chong really knew that there was rain today, so he deliberately chose this time.
Wrong... Now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid that when he sent troops half a month ago, he would have had today?! I'm afraid that even the kidnapping of Xiao Lan the day before yesterday was part of his plan!
"Pass the order! The arrows and arrows of the magic machine are withdrawn, and the enemy army is allowed to enter the pass, and wait for my order to consume the number of enemies in one go! ”
So far, I can only bite the bullet!!
