Chapter 274: Sand Table Deduction, Crushing Strength (5)
Han Lou didn't know Zilong's intentions, and the generals who were watching the battle outside didn't quite understand why Zilong suddenly died down, and even the 10,000 archers patrolling the riverbank slowed down the frequency of patrols. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This time, Dingzhou City began to be lively, and the siege vehicle was originally the one defending the city, so he couldn't use it at all, and it was also pushed onto the city wall, was it ready to be put out for Han Lou to fight?
All the things that can be called grease in Dingzhou City have almost been collected, what does Zilong want to do?
Finally, Han Lou was about to cross the river, and the selected time was when Zilong's bow rider had just retreated for less than half an hour, according to the law observed by Han Lou, the patrol cycle of Zilong's bow rider was about once every hour.
In this way, at this time, Zilong's archers should be the farthest away from the place of crossing the river, and the way Han Lou chose to cross the river was also more flattering, he asked to go down the river and let the current push his soldiers to the opposite bank.
In this way, in fact, the real landing point, on the contrary, exceeded the patrol range of the Zilong archers, and the battle of crossing the river was launched in the middle of the night, when people were sleepy and horses, and their consciousness was lax, and the success rate could almost reach more than 80 percent.
The only thing that may need to be worried is that the 10,000 sword lancers hidden by Zilong, of course, do not hinder the crossing of the river, but after crossing the Hutuo River, the Han Lou troops, who have not yet formed a formation and cannot organize an effective offensive, are basically defeated on the chopping board, and the human son dragon cuts.
There was no abnormality in the water, and after a quarter of the time, there was no movement, Han Lou's heart began to soothe, it seems that Zilong is also in vain, and he is not even prepared for this time when he needs to be vigilant the most.
A third of the way through, there was a faint glow of fire on the opposite bank, but it was still far from the riverbank, and it had already quietly left, and it should not have been discovered, and continued to cross the river.
Suddenly, I received feedback from Wei Kegu, saying that the pioneer of crossing the river found some suspicious ropes, very similar to alarm equipment, alarm equipment? Han Lou was a little confused, and after asking carefully, it was just some ropes tied with copper bells, and fishing nets were tied to the ropes.
Han Lou was puzzled for a moment, since there were fishing nets, it was likely to be left by the fishermen, and those who lived on the banks of the Hutuo River did have some households that made a living from fishing, and there was nothing abnormal.
Continuing to move forward and crossing the river to one half, it is already considered to have entered the range of the archer's strong bow, and there is nothing like it, and the smile on Han Lou's face is getting stronger and stronger.
Dingzhou City is flanked by dense pine forests, and the cavalry battle is basically to find themselves awkward, but due west of Dingzhou City, it is an endless plain, and the war horses gallop, it is simply a natural Happy Valley.
As long as the Hutuo River can be successfully crossed, then on this battlefield, who can stop the hooves of 100,000 elite horsemen? Dugu Zilong, get ready to be caught!
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the opposite bank, and the pioneer had even heard the strong smell of the horses, but now they had crossed the river two-thirds of the way, and they were about to land.
As long as you land and organize three or five thousand cavalry, you can roughly hold out a field to resist Zilong's attack and provide valuable time for the comrades who cross the river later.
Han Lou's palms were sweating a lot, his brows were furrowed, he looked at the battle report of the herald, gritted his teeth, and issued an order that he regretted a lot.
"Forced crossing!"
After learning Han Lou's order, the nerves of the generals began to move closer to the battle situation on the sand table, and now Zilong has arranged a section of isolation zone with a span of not small, and the isolation facilities are only sharpened wooden stakes and the introduction of Hutuo River water.
If you fight hard, you may lose three or five thousand people, and if you choose the same gap to attack, you can fill the ditch with horse corpses, and to be honest, the price is not too big.
The gentle slope is not large, it should not cause too much hindrance to the galloping cavalry, if someone in front opens the road, it just paves the ditch for the people behind, and it also reminds the rear of the information of the ditch behind the gentle slope, killing two birds with one stone, Zilong is digging a pit and jumping by himself.
The gentle slope is filled with all kinds of flammable pine resin, pine branches and wood chips, and it seems that if someone can set it on fire, it may cause a little obstacle to the Han Building, but who will go?
The 20,000 cavalry were basically wandering outside the city of Dingzhou, aimlessly, and even until now, the second team of sabber and lancer cavalry could not see the shadow of the landing of Hanlou.
What kind of tactic is this? There are now only 3,000 defenders left in Dingzhou City, 3,000 soldiers who are still busy preparing grease for three fires and four fires, and more than 4,000 sergeants who are sleeping and preparing to come in handy as a reserve force.
Dingzhou City was almost defeated in a battle, and there was absolutely no reason to defend it, even Wei Jing couldn't help frowning at this time, staring at Wei Kegu's indifferent face, looking at it again and again.
On the other hand, on the Han Lou side, although he was about to make contact with Zilong's archers, the process of crossing the river was already halfway through, and if he forcibly crossed the Hutuo River, the price he would pay would not be too great.
After all, Zilong's side was in a hurry to respond to the battle, and there was still a distance between the archers and Han Lou's vanguard troops crossing the river, which was enough time for Han Lou's group of soldiers to cross the river.
As soon as Han Lou gave the order, the speed of crossing the river immediately increased, and Zilong's archers and cavalry began to speed up the march, and the battle was about to break out, but Zilong suddenly issued an order to let the swordsmen and lancers who were more than ten miles away divide two thousand troops to block the vanguard of crossing the river.
Isn't this food delivery? Two thousand, blocking 100,000, the generals can't help but wonder, is he too stupid, or Zilong is too crazy? Who can have the courage, who can have the courage?
Zilong has!
The two thousand sword and lancers quickly inserted diagonally to the landing site of Zilong's Han Lou army, and were ready to charge, while the remaining eight thousand advanced in the direction of the 10,000 archers and cavalry, preparing to meet the division on the river bank.
Some of the generals were already a little excited, shook their heads and sighed and sat back in their seats, looking at the poor little strength of Zilong on the messy sand table.
"Alas, General Zilong is too conceited, and the distribution of troops is also a mess, is he colliding with evil today?"
"Yes, from beginning to end, all the arrangements, all of them don't know what to do, too much time has been wasted, and the only harvest that has some effect is obtained, only the trap that spans fifty steps, now it's better to say that the canal is better!"
"But even if the span of the trap is larger, at least it should be within the range of the archers defending the city? Four hundred steps away from the city, do you want the bows and arrows of the archers to support the fence outside the city of Dingzhou? ”
"No, the throwing distance of the siege vehicle is about four hundred steps, and it may be able to hit Han Lou's head."
"However, how can there be so many siege stones in Dingzhou City, can you tear down the city wall to make stones and throw them out?"
"Don't say it, you see General Zilong's archers are attacking immediately!"
……
The generals looked at it, and sure enough, an order from Zilong was issued, and the archers began to attack in turn in three waves, but did they choose the wrong direction for this attack?
"General Zilong ordered, the archers are ready to attack, the direction of the attack, the Hutuo River Hanlou crossing the river Hanlou crossing the river is a third of the span outside the river bank on my side."
Hearing this, most of the people have begun to shake their heads, sighing for Zilong, and the war drums sounded! (To be continued.) )
