Chapter 10 The Qin army set up an ambush at the mouth of the snake

More than 10,000 Qin troops were in ambush for a whole day, and late that night, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the mouth of the snake's belly. The pen www.biquge.info the scout came to report that the two thousand cavalry of the Bolun army had entered the mouth of the snake.

"Only two thousand cavalry? The enemy must have a large group of men and horses behind and has not yet come, Zuo Shuchang, what should I do"? Meng Jing looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng looked at Meng Xin: "Meng Duwei, what do you see"? At this time, Qin Feng was also a little unsure.

Meng Xin lowered his head and thought for a while: "Commander Zuo, if you don't let them go, do it now, the Bolun soldiers in the back team must be alert, we are ambushed here, the situation is quite dangerous, and there are ......" Meng Xin wanted to speak and stopped.

Qin Feng knew what Meng Xin was going to say, if he was exposed in advance, not only would the more than 10,000 Qin troops who were ambushed here be at a disadvantage, but the tens of thousands of Qin army families hidden in the woods on the left would also be in danger, and if they were discovered by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Lord Captain! If you let these two thousand cavalry pass, and wait for the Bolun brigade to come, when the two sides are fighting fiercely, these two thousand horses will kill back the horse and the gun, and our army will suffer from the enemy!" Meng Jing saw that his father was going to let these people over, so he hurriedly reminded them.

Li Tie was also anxious, and blurted out: "Commander Zuo, Lord Duwei, let these people go, even if they don't kill them back, but directly attack Qincheng, then my eldest mother and them will be in danger!"

Everyone looked at the approaching Polon Horse team in the distance, and their hearts were anxious.

Qin Feng thought about it, and after making up his mind, he called Sima Zhi: "Ah Zhi, the cavalry brothers may be proficient in controlling stirrups now"?

Sima Zhi grinned: "Commander Zuo, the last general has been proficient in control, and there are still some people who are not fully proficient, but now the combat effectiveness of our cavalry, compared with two days ago, heaven and earth, you can rest assured!"

Qin Feng listened and nodded: "Ah Zhi, now there is no other way but to work hard for the cavalry brothers!" Wait for this Bolun cavalry to pass, you lead all the cavalry of our army to follow, just wait for the snake belly to catch fire, you will lead the army to rush and kill, this battle does not seek to be captured, as long as it is defeated, do not love to fight! The cavalry brothers are still going to attack the city of Bolun King!"

After Sima Zhi got the order, he went to arrange it and did not mention it.

I saw that this Bolun cavalry stopped its horse outside the mouth of the snake's belly, and one of the officers led by looked up and gave the order: "The terrain here is dangerous, hit the horse quickly, and quickly pass through the valley"!

At the sound of an order, two thousand horsemen roared along the mouth of the snake's belly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all two thousand horsemen had passed. The Bolun officer laughed: "A pariah is a pariah, he will only fight and act brutally, if it were me, he would set up an ambush here"! After speaking, he called three of his subordinates: "The three of you go to the Chinese army to report quickly, this place is safe, and you can pass with confidence"!

After Qin Feng and the generals on the cliff saw these cavalry passing, three more horsemen rushed back quickly, knowing that these three people must have gone to inform the army to move forward with confidence. All of them are gearing up and ready for battle.

After a while, I saw a large group of Bolun soldiers coming slowly, looking at the number of people, there were more than 10,000 people, in addition to the infantry, but also towing several large siege equipment, if these things were placed outside the Qin army's earth city, defending the city was just a joke!

"Zuo Shu, give the order, the Boluns have all entered the valley mouth!" Li Tie saw that most of the enemy army had entered the mouth of the snake's belly, and he didn't understand why Qin Feng still didn't give the law.

Qin Feng looked at the Bolun army under the valley, raised his head and glanced at the direction of the snake's belly mouth into the valley: "The enemy army has a front, there must be a rear army, wait!" I have my own plans"!

At this time, Qin Feng looked at the starry sky, and could only hope that the army of the Bolon people would not be far from his brigade, otherwise even if the ambush here was successful, the army behind the palace would see that the situation was not good and withdraw to the Polen King City, then he would be in a dilemma.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Zuo Shuchang, you are really a god, you see, the queen of the palace is here"! Li Tie's archery skills are amazing, and his eyesight is amazing.

Qin Feng looked at the valley mouth and smiled coldly: "Pass the order, all the soldiers of the Qin army, the bow is wound and the sword is unsheathed, just wait for the arrow to give the order, and act according to the plan!"

After a while, the scout came to report: "Captain Zuo, Lord Lieutenant, the enemy army has all entered the valley"!

Qin Feng nodded at Li Tie: "Give the order!"

Li Tie let out a "hi", stretched out his hand and pulled out a chirping arrow from the quiver behind his back, and shot it into the sky.

The Qin army on the cliff got the order, and they raised fire one after another, and suddenly the rockets rained down, shooting towards the Bolun army in the valley, and a lot of fire oil was buried in the valley in advance, which was ignited by the rocket, and after a while, the snake's belly fell into a sea of fire!

Seeing that there was an ambush here, and they were in a sea of fire, the Bolun army in the valley did not dare to fight, so they hurriedly ordered to throw down all the siege equipment, and everyone rushed towards the valley mouth.

Before the Bolun soldiers rushed to the valley mouth, they saw that the road to the valley mouth had already been blocked by countless boulders and trees rolled down from under the cliff by the Qin army, and the trees were poured with fire oil, and the fire was soaring to the sky for a while, and it was impossible to rush through it at all.

At this time, the Qin army on the mountain cliff not only fired thousands of arrows, but also threw down countless rolling logs and stones, cutting the Bolun army in the valley into three sections. The Bolen soldiers were shot by arrows, stoned to death by rolling wood, and burned to death. In the valley, the Bolun soldiers ran and wailed, and they were miserable.

Commander Bolun saw that Taniguchi could not rush out in front, so he led his men to flee towards Taniguchi in the rear. Since the Qin army can block the valley mouth in front, how can the valley mouth in the rear be let go. These Boluns ran over to take a look, and the valley mouth in the rear was also on fire, and they couldn't rush to kill.

"These untouchables are too cunning, brothers! Rush up the cliff with Ben and kill those untouchables!" The Bolun officer gave the order and rushed towards the cliff with thousands of Bolun soldiers. It's just that the cliff is quite steep, and it is blocked by the bows and crossbows of the Qin army, where can I rush up.

Besides, the 2,000-strong horse-riding team of the Boluns saw a huge fire burning behind them from a distance, and knew that most of them must have fallen into the ambush of the thief army, so they hurriedly turned their horses and led the cavalry, and rushed back to the rescue.

Before the two thousand horses rushed to the mouth of the snake's belly, they saw two teams of cavalry suddenly appear on both sides of the avenue and rush towards them. In the darkness of the night, only the sound of shouting and killing was heard shaking the sky, and I didn't know how many people and horses there were in the enemy army.

Killed by the left and right flanking attacks, the 2,000-man cavalry team was suddenly in chaos, and several officers of Bolun rushed left and right with the cavalry of their headquarters, only to feel that there were enemy troops everywhere.

"Ambush! Run! In a few moments, hundreds of the Bolun cavalry scattered and fled. The Qin army did not chase and kill, and let them leave.

Seeing that his men were in a state of collapse, and that there were many people running and fleeing, the officer ordered the military judge to slash and kill the fleeers again and again, but he still couldn't stop the decline at this time. Knowing that the general trend had gone, there was no other way, so he shouted: "Everyone, follow me and kill back to the mouth of the snake"! With the remaining hundreds of horsemen, he was going to break out of the encirclement.

At this time, a young officer led dozens of horsemen, each horse under the neck, there are a number of heads, these riders on the horse as steady as Mount Tai, seems to be with the war horse together, each holding a long lance towards himself, this Bolun officer was furious: "Untouchables, suffer death"! Hurriedly rode up to meet him. This young officer was none other than Sima Zhi.

Sima Zhi looked at this Bolun officer coldly, as if he were looking at a dead man. With these dozens of horsemen, he rushed towards the hundreds of Bolun cavalry.

"Everyone, listen to orders! Raise the lance! "Dozens of riders raised their long lances in their hands, and their movements were neat and uniform, which was perfect. When the hundreds of Bolun cavalry on the opposite side saw that these dozens of horsemen were so imposing, they showed their timidity in their hearts.

50 meters, 30 meters, 10 meters, the two sides are getting closer and closer, Sima Zhi calmly ordered: "Hold down!" Hold it down! One! Two! Thorn"! At the moment when the heads of the horses on both sides almost collided, dozens of Qin cavalry raised their lances and stabbed forward, unstoppable, and in just one moment, dozens of Bolun cavalry were stabbed to death in the chest, among them, there was the Bolun officer. The momentum of the rush and killing even more smashed the hundreds of cavalry of the Bolun people.

In such a round, Sima straightened out the horse team and laughed: "Everyone obeys the order!" Raise the lance"! Dozens of horsemen raised their lances in unison and rushed towards those wave wheels.

The hundreds of Bolun cavalry had never seen such a cavalry rush to kill, and their faces turned pale with fright, "Devil! These are not people! Run!" One by one, they didn't care about any military orders, and they didn't care about the rescue troops, they were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

Sima Zhi raised his lance high: "Everyone listen to the order!" Kill me!"

The cavalry of the 2,000 Qin army was ordered, with 100 people as a horse team, to cover and kill the scattered Bolun people, who had no fighting spirit at this time, and only cared about fleeing for their lives, this cover was no longer a battle, but a slaughter.

A quarter of an hour later, Sima Zhi left two men and horses to collect weapons and horses, and led the others to kill the snake's belly.

In this battle, Sima Zhi defeated the Bolun 2000 iron cavalry with very few losses, except for the Qin army following behind, the sudden attack and the Qin army's own unity, the stirrups and these long lances held by the Qin army played a decisive role.

The shape of the lance is similar to that of the spear, but the weight and length are very different, not only each lance weighs about 18 catties, but the head of the lance is also a foot long, not only can you sprint immediately, but also swing and chop is also amazingly powerful. Only knights with tall and strong arms can wield them freely. The knight held the lance and rushed to kill, and the enemy's armor was like child's play in front of the lance, so it was also called the armor-piercing lance. It is only because of the astonishing cost of the long lance that the cavalry has not been popularized in the past dynasties. The accumulation of the Qin army in Qincheng over the past few hundred years is now only more than five hundred. And what Meng Jing Sima Zhi made was this kind of Zhangba long lance.

The manufacture of lances is extremely laborious and time-consuming, often taking up to three years. The main trunk of the toughest wood above the lance is peeled into strips of uniform thickness and then glued. The toughest wood is the most used for bows and crossbows, followed by mulberry, oak, and rattan, and the worst is bamboo. Soak the fine scorn in oil repeatedly for a year to make it no longer deformed and cracked, and then the first step is completed.

After a year, the strips are removed and left to dry in the shade for several months. Then glue it together with a fine glue paint, and then wrap the outer layer around the hemp rope. Wait for the hemp rope to dry thoroughly, apply raw lacquer, and wrap it in arrowroot cloth. Then apply raw lacquer, dry layer by layer, wrap layer by layer, until cut with a knife, the lance makes a metallic sound, but it does not crack.

Then go to its head and tail, truncated to about eight zhang. The front is equipped with a refined lance head, and the rear is a lance. So constantly adjusted, the standard of qualification is to use a hemp rope to hang at the tail of the lance two feet, the whole zhang eight long lance can be in mid-air like a weighing rod at both ends without falling, so as to be qualified.

Sima went to the mouth of the snake and came to see Qin Feng: "Second brother, the two thousand centaurs have been killed by us!" Beheaded more than a thousand"!

"How much has our army been damaged"? Qin Feng was most concerned about this at this time, the cavalry had suffered too many losses, and it would be difficult for the following to attack the Bolun King City.

Sima Zhi reported truthfully: "Our army lost 200 cavalry and more than 400 horses"!

Fortunately, the casualty figure was still within Qin Feng's acceptable range, Qin Feng looked at Sima Zhi, who was covered in blood: "Ah Zhi, hard work!" Let all the cavalry of our army who are injured in the war horses be replaced with the horses of the Bolons, replenish the arrows and equipment as soon as possible, and Taniguchi will be on standby"!

At this time, the flames in the valley of the snake's belly gradually extinguished, and the remnants of the Bolun army saw that the fire was slightly weaker, and fled towards the way they came.

Qin Feng raised his sword in his hand: "All the soldiers listen, kill with me"! All the Qin troops tied their heads to their waists and rushed towards the Bolun people in the valley.

When the Bolun people saw the Qin army coming to chase after them, they fled faster! The Qin army has been chasing and killing for more than ten miles, and the Bolun people threw more than 10,000 corpses, only more than 1,000 defeated troops fled towards the Bolun royal city.

More than 10,000 sergeants of the Qin army shouted one after another: "Victory!" We have won"!
