Chapter 159: The Qin army set up an ambush at the mouth of the gourd

After Charlemag led more than 30,000 cavalry into Hulukou, he was cautious all the way, and after about a quarter of an hour, all the cavalry rushed out of the valley. Charlemaga breathed a sigh of relief www.biquge.info it seemed that he was really worried, and the Qin army did not set up an ambush here. Then send more than ten horsemen back to the coach Mengla. Gupta reported the news, while he himself rested on the spot with more than 30,000 cavalry, waiting for the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him to catch up, and then rushed to the city of Harappa together.

The commander of the Gupta Dynasty's army, Mengla. Guptana, after receiving the letter, led an army of more than 100,000 people, with grain, grass, baggage and siege equipment, and walked into the mouth of the gourd step by step. Because the cavalry in front had already confirmed that this place was safe, the Gupta Dynasty army did not march in several batches, but gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in one place and passed through Hulukou as quickly as possible.

Qin Feng, who was standing in the dense forest, watched the Gupta Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops, step by step into the trap he had carefully designed, as if a hunter hunting for the first time was looking at his prey, Qin Feng's nervous palms were slightly sweaty!

Come closer! Come closer! Qin Feng said silently in his heart. However, the Gupta Dynasty's army of more than 100,000 troops, plus grain, grass, baggage, and siege equipment, was too large, until its vanguard was less than a hundred zhang away from the valley mouth, and its rear army still had 20,000 or 30,000 troops that had not yet entered the valley.

And the 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army waited one by one, just waiting for General Qin Feng to give an order, and then began this hunting feast that had been planned for several days.

At this time, more than 1,000 people in the vanguard of the Gupta Dynasty army have walked out of the valley, and most of the rear army has also entered the gourd mouth, so that in addition to the more than 1,000 people who have left the valley and thousands of soldiers who have not yet entered the valley, the Gupta Dynasty's 100,000 troops have all entered the trap of the Qin army.

Qin Feng stood on the top of the cliff, smiled coldly, raised his left arm that could still move freely, and then waved his hand violently: "Let's start"!

Qin Feng gave an order, only to see that on the cliff of Hulukou, tens of thousands of torches suddenly lit up, and at the place where Hulukou came out of the valley pass and entered the valley, the pre-buried fire oil and other things were ignited by the Qin army, and a sky-high fire ignited in an instant.

Mengla. Gupta saw that countless torches were suddenly lit at the passes on both sides, and knowing that he had been ambushed by the Qin army, he was shocked, and ordered the army not to take care of the grain and grass anymore, but to run in the direction of the valley. In his mind, although the Qin army has an ambush and will also block the valley, but he has hundreds of thousands of troops, which is enough to fill the Jiangping River, and it should not be too difficult to extinguish the fire, as long as he can extinguish the valley mouth fire, his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can escape.

At both ends of the valley mouth, hundreds of giant trees prepared by the Qin army in advance rolled down together, completely sealing the passages at both ends of the gourd mouth. These giant trees had also been poured with fire oil in advance, and after they landed, the skyrocketing fires at both ends of the valley mouth were a little bigger.

Mengla. Gupta looked at this sky-high fire from afar, knowing that for a while, even if he sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, he was afraid that he would not be able to rush out of this gourd.

At this time, the 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army on the cliffs on both sides raised their crossbows one by one, loaded the arrows, and fired a volley of tens of thousands of troops of the Gupta Dynasty below.

Although he was trapped in the ambush, he was protected by thousands of shield regiments. Gupta saw that the Qin army did not bury fire oil and other things at the bottom of the valley in advance, but shot his own army with arrows, and secretly called luck in his heart.

Mengla. Gupta laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, soldiers! Although our army was ambushed, the Qin army did not bury fire oil and other materials in advance, and when the fire at the valley mouth was a little weaker, we could rush out of the valley mouth in one go! The Qin army is so incompetent, the soldiers, form a military formation to counterattack, let the Qin army know that we are powerful"!

When the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Gupta Dynasty heard that since ancient times, in the battle of ambushes, they would bury fire oil and other fire-causing things in advance in order to maximize the killing effect. However, the Qin army only blocked the valley mouth, and this huge valley bottom did not catch fire. And the Qin army only shot with arrows, and it was not a rocket, it seems that Marshal Mengla is right, the Qin army really doesn't know how to set up an ambush, as long as the fire in the valley is slightly weaker, the chance of escaping is still very big.

These hundreds of thousands of soldiers, one after another, formed a military formation in units of 10,000 people, and used shields to resist the arrows of the Qin army on the periphery, but thousands of soldiers inside, but they all shot arrows with bows and arrows, and frequently fired arrows on the cliffs on both sides to stop the power of the Qin army's bows and crossbows. It's just that the cliffs on both sides of the gourd mouth are quite steep, and the Gupta Dynasty soldiers shoot from the top like this, and the effect is undoubtedly much worse.

Mengla. Gupta said that when the Qin army set up an ambush, he did not know that he had buried fire oil at the bottom of the valley in advance, so as to judge that the Qin army was incompetent and did not know how to set up an ambush. This is not right or wrong, the right thing is that the Qin army did not bury fire oil at the bottom of the valley, and the wrong thing is that the Qin army is accustomed to setting ambushes in battle, and in this land of Tianzhu, I am afraid that no army will know how to set ambushes better than the Qin army.

Imagine that when the Qin army had just started its army, it ambushed the Bolun soldiers and horses at the mouth of the snake's belly, and buried countless fire oil in advance, and then ignited it with rockets, so that tens of thousands of Bolun troops fell into the sea of fire in an instant. Ambushed the Gupta Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops today, why didn't the Qin army bury the oil in advance?

That's because Qin Feng estimated that even if there were countless firecrackers buried in the mouth of this gourd, to slaughter all these hundreds of thousands of troops, the power of fireoil alone would be far from enough! That's because the Qin army already had something a hundred times more powerful than fire oil at this time, that is, black powder.

If it weren't for the time when the black powder was planted, it would have been extremely cautious, how could it have taken five days for the Qin army to prepare an ambush here? If it weren't for this, why would Qin Feng take the lives of thousands of sharp soldiers, and also drag the enemy's army of tens of thousands of troops in Liuya Mountain, and give Hulukou this side five days to prepare.

It's a long story, but it's all a matter of time. At this time, the enemy troops gathered together and formed a military formation. Qin Feng looked at this scene and thought to himself that the leading generals of the Gupta Dynasty were really cooperative, the more you crowded together, after our army ignited the black powder, the lethality would undoubtedly be maximized. And the reason why the Qin army only shot the enemy with arrows just now was to ask them to form a defensive formation, so that when the black powder exploded, it would kill and injure more enemy troops.

Qin Feng looked at the hundreds of thousands of Gupta Dynasty troops at the bottom of the valley, these people were no different from dead people at this time in his eyes, Qin Feng smiled: "Let's start the fire"!

After the more than 30,000 Qin troops on the cliffs on both sides received the order, they raised their crossbows one after another, but at this time, the crossbows were no longer filled with ordinary arrows, but rockets.

"Put"! In an instant, 30,000 rockets rained down to the bottom. Mengla. Before Gupta could react to what was going on, he saw that after the rockets landed, there was a loud noise in his ears, and under the ground, fireballs exploded, and the entire earth and the entire gourd mouth began to tremble.
