Chapter 1971: Flying Stones from the Sky

The barbarian didn't even see Chu Huan's shadow, so he fell on his heels.

Ibu watched hundreds of cavalrymen turn on their backs, almost annihilated, and almost went crazy.

A trench, a big pit dug on the west side of the trench, such a simple trap, easily killed hundreds of horsemen, Ibu thought that the heavy snow weather could protect the brute horsemen, but at this moment I found that the one who is really good at taking advantage of the heavy snow weather seems to be the opponent.

The barbarian soldiers came violently, but they had to stop in front of a trench, losing hundreds of elite cavalry, not to mention that they couldn't see the legendary King of Chu, or even the shadow of the Northwest Army couldn't see a few.

Eevee couldn't figure out why the dozen or so Northwest Rangers were unharmed when they rushed over.

But at this moment, he has already noticed one thing, since the other party has dug trenches and set traps here, and even sent rangers to deliberately lure them, then it means that the Northwest Army has been prepared.

The Northwest Army has always maintained silence, but it contains slaughter, even if hundreds of barbarian cavalry were killed, the Northwest Army camp was still silent.

Chu Huan looked down condescendingly, of course he knew why the Northwest Rangers came over and were safe and sound.

Because the trench is not from north to south, but in the middle of the trench left a few narrow passages that have not been dug, and these places have made very hidden marks, the barbarian cavalry can not see it, but the northwest rangers are clear, they are from a few narrow roads passed safely, and in order to be foolproof, they have also specially drilled in advance, very familiar.

It was impossible for the brute cavalry to think that there would be a trap in the place where the cavalry passed under heavy snow, and they were excited to chase and see that the other party passed through unharmed, where did they think that the appearance of the rangers was the beginning of the trap.

Gu Liangchen was standing beside Chu Huan at this time, and when he saw the scene under the mountain, he said with a smile: "King, this ditch has killed so many barbarians, and I don't know if these tens of thousands of cavalry are enough for us to kill?" ”

"Looks like you're a fan of killing barbarians?" Chu Huan smiled.

Gu Liangchen sneered: "They burn, kill and loot on our land, thinking that they are invincible, this time it is just to let them take a look, there are some places that cannot be left." ”

Chu Huan looked at the black barbarian cavalry, and said: "They have tens of thousands of cavalry, and the barbarians have been riding horses and shooting arrows since they were young, and they can fight well, so they must not be despised for them." ”

"King, how do you know that the barbarians will definitely come to attack?" Gu Liangchen was a little puzzled, "They know that our cavalry went to the grassland, and they should have returned to the division to rescue." ”

"If it was a plate of loose sand, the barbarians would have left a long time ago." Chu Huan said: "Although they are brave and ruthless, it doesn't mean that they are stupid. Attacking Hexi is such a big event, if they fight separately, they must not have any certainty of themselves, so they will elect the Tushi Khan as their commander. He turned his head and glanced at Gu Liangchen and said with a smile: "What do you think the leaders who are promoted like this want to do the most?" ”

Gu Liangchen thought for a moment before he said, "Liwei!" ”

"Not bad." Chu Huan praised: "To the point, for this kind of temporary leader who has been promoted, of course they want to take this opportunity to establish their prestige. To establish power, the first task is to make meritorious contributions, after Tu Shi was elected as the leader, no matter what, he had to defeat the city of Wuping Prefecture, only in this way can he prestige the grassland departments. If he gives up halfway, not only will Tushi's prestige not increase, but his momentum will be greatly reduced, so this king concludes that until Wuping Mansion is defeated, at least Tushi will never retreat. ”

Gu Liangchen bowed slightly, and asked, "Great King, according to your meaning, if the Wuping Mansion has been captured, and they learn that the grassland has been attacked, it is possible to return to the grassland?" ”

"It should be." Chu Huan said: "It's just that Dingwu is firm in defending the city, and the barbarians have not taken it yet, even if the barbarians know that the grassland has been attacked, Tushi will never be willing to withdraw his troops back to the grassland." But if he doesn't do anything, the defense of the barbarian is unstable, and the people's hearts are dissipated, which is certainly not what Tu Shi wants to see. ”

"So the king expects that he will definitely send people to raid?" Gu Liangchen understood, "Only in this way can we stabilize the hearts of the barbarians?" ”

"They know that our cavalry is deep in the grassland, and they naturally hate us to the core, and if they suddenly send troops to attack us, the barbarians will naturally be impatient." A sneer appeared on Chu Huan's lips, "And since they know that our cavalry has gone to the grassland, they expect that our strength is unbearable, and if they take this opportunity to inflict heavy losses on us, the prestige of Tu Shi will naturally increase greatly." ”

Gu Liangchen said with a smile: "It turns out that everything is in the king's plan, the barbarians think they are smart, but how do they know that their every move is in our calculations." His brows tightened slightly, "However, if the barbarians come by dividing their troops, the pressure on the side of Wuping Mansion will be greatly weakened, and if we do this, we will help Dingwu." ”

"The barbarians have been harassing the border for a long time, and how many people in the Central Plains have been brutalized by them." Chu Huan's expression became solemn, and his eyes were cold: "Now that tens of thousands of barbarians are riding south, the people of Hexi are miserable, they are burning, killing and looting in Hexi, and their crimes are too numerous to mention, if we don't stop them, I'm afraid this disaster will spread." People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, if they are really occupied by the barbarians in Wuping Mansion, they may not be willing to give up, the brutality of the barbarian soldiers, as long as it is a bloody man, naturally can not turn a blind eye. If you have to sit back and ignore it at this time, it will make the barbarians more rampant, of course we want to exterminate the Qin State, but the barbarians are raging, endangering the Central Plains, and we naturally have to distinguish the priorities. ”

Gu Liangchen said solemnly: "What the king said is that it is a blessing to be able to fight against the barbarians with the king, and he will definitely beat these beasts back to their hometown." ”

At this time, tens of thousands of barbarian iron cavalry are looking at the trench in front of them and look away, the trench is actually nothing, with the equestrian cavalry, to cross the trench, it is a breeze, but how many deep pits are there on the opposite side of the trench, and how much attack power the Northwest Army battalion has not moved so far, the barbarians are now beginning to be worried.

Although Ibu is impulsive, he is not a reckless person, and this time he commanded an army of tens of thousands, and he has learned from the past, but he does not dare to act rashly.

He knew that even if the opponent's strength was not as good as that of the Barbarian Iron Cavalry, it was still a difficult opponent.

The northwest military camp was intricate, and he had even seen the knives and guns poking out from behind the tent, the knives and guns were cold, and in the dead and silent continuous camp, he didn't know how many soldiers were hidden.

A barbarian general next to him approached and said softly: "Yibu, the Central Plains people are very cunning, in order to avoid too much unnecessary damage, it is better to send a small number of people to go forward on foot first, find out the size of the trench and how many pits there are on the opposite side of the trench, those are covered with snow, as long as they are cleared, we can see clearly, and it is not too late to attack." ”

The other person raised his hand and pointed in a half-circle, "You see, their big camp is in the valley mouth, and they have put themselves in their pockets, since they have noticed our whereabouts and are prepared, we are not in a hurry to fight over, I heard the Central Plains people say a sentence, it is called right, catch the urn in the turtle, let's guard the exit, they have no way to escape, let's approach the past step by step, and block them inside." ”

The previous barbarian immediately said: "We are pressing step by step, if we can force them out, it is just right, you see, in the valley, there is indeed no trace of cavalry, if they really come out, we will easily defeat them." ”

After Ibu calmed down, he knew that since the Northwest Army was prepared, it would be difficult to resolve the battle quickly, and if he advanced lightly, he might have to fall into other traps.

He was not worried about the food for the troops, and when he went out, each soldier carried ten days' worth of food, enough to last for several days.

Ibu turned over and dismounted, and did not hesitate to send rangers to patrol the vicinity, while sending men to clear the trenches and pits.

He was indeed a little annoyed in his heart, fighting in the Central Plains was far worse than being happy in the grassland, when the grassland tribes annexed each other, where were these various strange doorways, even if the other party had a simple defense, he only needed to ride a horse to step on it, and now a trench would frustrate the morale of the army, which was indeed a little annoying, but in order to avoid unnecessary damage as much as possible, it was still necessary to remove the obstacles first.

Sending a team of nearly 1,000 people to come forward to find out where the trenches and potholes are, naturally it takes some time, the brute cavalry has already dismounted, last night from midnight began to rush continuously, non-stop, originally thinking of killing into the camp of the Northwest Army in one go, the Great Northwest Army was caught off guard, and now the plan has failed, and it will not be able to attack for a while and a half, so it is natural to dismount and rest.

The soldiers in charge of clearing the obstacle naturally had to carefully get up the corpses of their companions who had fallen into the pit and were stabbed to death by sharp logs, the trench was as wide as a foot, and at this time it was full of human and horse corpses, although most of the soldiers had died, but there were still a very small number of soldiers struggling and writhing in the trap, and they were already dying.

The corpses are easy to deal with, but these dying soldiers are difficult to deal with, if left unchecked, they will die soon, but if they are carried out from the inside, they will be torn up from the sharp wood, so that the wound will inevitably bleed extensively, and they will die faster. There is no doctor in the barbarian army, and simple flesh injuries may be able to help each other deal with them, but no one can treat such injuries, so in desperation, they can only take out the dead corpses first, and those soldiers who are not dead can only be ignored for the time being.

Such a scene is that the cruel barbarians see it in their eyes, and they are also furious in their hearts, and then look at the Northwest Army camp that has not moved, and their eyes are full of resentment.

Ibu was sitting on the snow at this time, biting on the stiff jerky, wondering what was going on in his heart.

Suddenly, a scream came, interrupting Ibu's thoughts, the screams continued, Ibu suddenly stood up, followed the sound, only to see that the team that was cleaning the trench actually ran towards this side, everyone was panicked, Ibu was stunned at first, and then his eyes showed a look of horror.

The camp of the Northwest Army, which had not moved before, did not move much at this time, but from the camp, the stones in the sky flew out like heavy rain and poured near the trench.

The stones fell near the trench and smashed heavily on the bodies of the barbarian soldiers, many of the barbarians were still thinking of ways to get the corpses out of the trenches, and the sudden stones caught them off guard, and many of the barbarians who were going to fish for the corpses instantly turned into corpses, and the flesh and blood smashed by the boulders were blurred, and they fell into the trenches.

Ibu's body trembled with anger.

Of course he knew what it was, not long ago, the barbarian army also used the catapult to attack the city of Wupingfu, and the scene at that time Yibu still remembered clearly, the stone hit by the stone-throwing cart was so powerful that it smashed the hard city wall out of the hole.

He never imagined that the catapult could be used like this.

Countless stones flew out of the Northwest Army camp, and of course they could not throw them by hand, but could only use a catapult to knock these stones out.

The stones hit by the stone-throwing cart can't even withstand the city wall, let alone the flesh and blood of the barbarian soldiers.

The screams continued, just like meteorites outside the sky, huge stones can sometimes kill several people at once, and those soldiers who could not react were already shrouded in the rain of boulders, even if they reacted quickly and ran back with their feet, many of them were smashed into flesh by the stones falling from the sky.

Ibu was annoyed, but his heart was cold, and he finally understood at this time that the cunning of the Central Plains people was really extraordinary.

At first, Ibu thought that the trench in front of him was used by the Northwest Army to block the cavalry charge, but now he understood that the purpose of the trench was more than that.

There was actually a constant distance between the trench and the continuous barracks of the Northwest Army, and if you shot an arrow from the barracks, it would never be possible to shoot into the trench, and the trench was far beyond the range of bows and arrows.

Because of this, Ibu was not worried that the barbarians would be attacked by the cold arrows of the Northwest Army when they were clearing the trenches, but he never expected that although the Northwest Army could not shoot arrows to sneak attack, they used more terrifying weapons, and the stones thrown by the catapult covered a wider area and had more amazing lethality.

The Northwest Army originally came to attack the city, so it was naturally impossible to lack siege weapons.

The barbarian cavalry who were about to rest all looked over there, and when they saw the tragic situation in front of them, the barbarian soldiers were both angry and cold.

Seeing those huge stones on the body of the brute, instantly smashed a living strong man into flesh, as soon as he thought that these stones fell on him, many people's hairs would have stood up, but the war horse was also flustered at this time, and his hooves were neighing, and the originally neat team suddenly appeared in a commotion-
