Chapter 278: Sand Table Deduction, Crushing Strength (9)
When Han Lou finally couldn't help but order a full-scale attack, the hearts of the generals were relieved at first, and they could finally have a happy decisive battle. It's so aggrieved. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then their hearts tugged again, it was time to see what kind of medicine was sold in the Zilong gourd, that gentle slope was really just to block the view? What is the role of a large ditch after a gentle slope?
The most important thing is that there is still a nearly four-to-one battle power ratio, who will win in the end? No one dares to guess at will, because it hurts to be slapped in the face because of the wrong guess.
Zilong's first order, the whole army ...... Retreat? Do you want to give away this rare gap in the charge to others in vain? You must know that the gentle slope and deep ditch, even at this level, are indeed a bit not enough to cause too many obstacles, but how much will it cause some panic in Han Loujun, why leave the ass to others to chase?
The answer came out quickly, Han Lou quickly got Wei Kegu's battle situation feedback, the first group of charging cavalry fell into the ditch when passing through the gentle slope, most of the war horses were pierced by wooden stakes, and the cavalry was also trampled into meat sauce by the teammates behind.
But fortunately, Han Lou's battle line was not too long, so when the first batch of soldiers used their own flesh and blood to verify that the lethality of the dragon design was really limited, nearly 7,000 people lost their lives, but Zilong was unharmed.
Han Lou was a little depressed, such a conspiracy, he really didn't expect it, and at the same time, he was furious, and at the same time, he received the battle report and reminded that the ditch behind the gentle slope was filled with a downhill made of flesh and blood, and the war horse was not particularly surprised, and it was already able to pass.
Gritting his teeth, Han Lou ordered to continue to charge, and he couldn't let his brothers die in vain.
With the buffer of flesh and blood downhill, there will finally be no more tragedy of falling and penetrating, Han Loujun rushed into the ditch of fifty steps, fortunately he got the information early, the depth of the water is not too unacceptable, and he has just arrived at the war horse.
However, it was such a short distance that became a nightmare for Han Loujun's army, and when they saw that the Zilong army retreated to the point where they could hide in Zuoren City with a single charge, they turned around and began to shoot abominably from the back.
The ditch is fifty paces wide, and the war horse can probably cross the water surface and stand on the edge of the ditch after leaping more than ten steps, but the soldiers who finally came ashore found that there were many comrades who lost their war horses under the conditions of that deep water, and there were countless brothers who fell into the water.
There are less than half of the Han Lou army that can stand on the inner edge of the ditch completely and unharmed, and most of the horses will have foot-long wounds on their abdomen, and the blood will flow like an infusion, which is basically equivalent to losing their combat effectiveness.
Han Lou, who got the information, almost wanted to tear up the topographic map in front of him, bury wooden stakes in the water, and sharpen his head, which is too damaging, and you have to put a bunch of archers to play with projectiles!
There is no way, Han Lou can only give the order, advance slowly, and must not lose troops in this short shallow ditch again, save combat effectiveness, and be ashamed after going ashore!
Although cautious, but casualties are still inevitable, Han Lou tried his best to be restrained and forbearing, and the soldiers who went ashore temporarily formed a shield with a small knight's shield, and through the shield, Han Lou's cavalry used crossbow arrows and Zilong's bow and arrows to fight a disparity in strength in offensive and defensive battles.
When nearly half of the troops were transported, Han Lou's face finally relaxed, victory was in sight, he definitely didn't believe that Zilong Zuorencheng's bow and arrows couldn't be shot, thinking that it was a man's refinement, and it would produce hundreds of millions of dollars in one day?
But this is how people began to see hope, Zilong stood up again, made a move to extinguish the small flame of hope, and led people into the abyss of despair.
The catapult on the top of the city wall began to work, but it was not a stone that was thrown, but a clay pot, with a little spark on it, and the clay pot fell to the ground.
And after the crockpot was broken, it also caused a lot of casualties to the team of Han Lou queuing up to cross the river, with many injuries and fewer deaths, which was quite acceptable.
However, the information I got turned out to be that the crockpot jar was filled with grease, and some of the sparks that survived the disaster accidentally lit a few fires when they came into contact with the firewood that had been prepared long ago.
With the help of grease and the already flammable pine resin, pine branches and wood chips, the fire actually began to flourish, and after the grease was broken, all the things that Zilong threw were replaced with fire sources.
Although it may be extinguished by the air current, it can't stand the large base, and under the continuous projection, Han Lou's river-crossing troops were completely cut in half.
The internal and external communication was cut off, there were less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left in his hands, and there were still 30,000 or 40,000 brothers and sisters on the opposite side who had no one to command, and there was probably only half of the victory rate left in this battle.
Han Lou gritted his teeth, we must not just give up on them so easily, we also have trebuchets, set up trebuchets, with the way of others, and also treat their bodies, there is no fire source firewood, we can clean up some of the fire caused by the dragon army.
So countless fiery red rays of light crossed the sky, falling within three hundred steps of Zuoren City, the grease is limited, the fire is limited, the fire will eventually stop, coupled with the continuous borrowing of Han Lou, the fire wall on the gentle slope finally disappeared.
However, when the follow-up troops stood on the ring slope, they found that the brothers and comrades who had crossed the river had ...... It's all gone! What's going on here?
No matter what, Han Lou, who only had 30,000 troops and was still all cavalry, already knew that he had completely lost this battle, but the 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses who had already passed the fifty-step ditch could not disappear.
So he took the maddening battle report and killed Wei Kegu with a menacing attitude, but what he saw was the envy and admiration of the generals, but unfortunately, these expressions were not for him.
"It turns out that the grease is to start a fire, and now Han Loujun really has firewood for heating."
"The best thing is the combination of water and pine stakes, this season is when the evil wind invades, and the pus will consume half of the combat strength of the Han Lou army."
"And the 20,000 Zilong Army who attacked through the fire, they are simply too idle, what does Han Lou think, he actually wants to repay the other in the other way? Isn't that creating obstacles for yourself? ”
"Indeed, if it weren't for his fire, he would have hindered his charge to some extent, and perhaps the casualties would have been greater."
"The black fire really appeared, when the battle of Youyan was at the beginning, the old man had seen his power, but he didn't expect it to be applied to actual combat, wonderful, wonderful!"
……
After listening to the generals' words, Han Lou was very angry, why did his troops charge? I didn't give an order!
"I'm not convinced, you are cheating!" Han Lou was furious. (To be continued.) )
