Chapter 40: Preparation
The tornado swept by, causing almost equal damage to both warring sides. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But the soldiers of the Yuan State themselves were in a state of siege, and they could still have some fortifications to rely on, relatively speaking, the Xiongnu side was more miserable.
In particular, when the wind howled and the horses went out of control, the soldiers mutinied, trampled on each other and killed countless people, and the offensive became slow or even stagnant, giving Chen Guang a chance to breathe.
"My lord, what are we going to do?"
Several dusty generals surrounded Chen Guang and Motuo, their faces could no longer be seen clearly, and they could only see from the armor they were wearing that they were not low-grade generals, and they all looked panicked.
What else can I do! Hurry up and find a way to escape!
Well, Chen Guang thought so in his heart, but if he wanted to say this, the army's heart would be chaotic.
There are many examples in history of defeat due to the disrupted morale of the army, and Chen Guang knows that he must not panic now, even if he pretends to be calm, so as to hold on to the scene.
The people of this era all believe in ghosts and gods, and in their eyes, a disaster like a tornado is something worthy of awe and even fear, and even Emperor Motuo looked nervous, and his hand holding the weapon was trembling.
"Don't worry, that gust of wind just now is God's favor for us, everyone sees that the Huns have withdrawn!"
Sure enough, following Chen Guang's fingers, the Yuan army really found that the Huns on the opposite side had retreated.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”
Suddenly, the morale was greatly boosted, and even Motuo secretly cast an approving glance at Chen Guang.
Chen Guang was very bitter in his heart: Please give me more strength, I'm just here to play soy sauce gilding brush prestige or something, but I don't want to accompany you to death.
"Quickly regroup the formation, the enemy hasn't really retreated yet, everyone prepare well, we still have a big battle to fight next!"
After Chen Guang calmed the morale of the army, he began to instruct the generals who led the army to arrange tasks.
In fact, he really didn't know anything about military affairs.
But it doesn't matter, if he doesn't understand, naturally someone understands, as a big guy, as long as he knows how to tell his younger brother to do things.
As Chen Guang said, the retreat of the Huns was only a temporary retreat, which is also easy to see that the riots just now had a serious impact on the morale of the Huns, and they had to retreat to reinvigorate and reshape before they had the strength to fight.
If Chen Guang is a famous general, then he should seize the time when the Hun army is disrupted and the formation is not in order, maybe he can trigger the collapse of the opponent's morale in one fell swoop, and then either break through or take advantage of the situation to cover up, and take the initiative.
Instead of squatting like a family and holding his position like now, letting the enemy adjust, he was still trapped in place.
To put it bluntly, partly because of inexperience, but more importantly, Chen Guang is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is unwilling to take the lead in launching a counterattack.
Looking at the strict formation of the army outside the city, and the Huns who slowly entered and killed them again, Chen Guang hid behind the battlements and wiped the wind and sand on his face, and said to himself with a pout: "Why gamble? Even if I exchange one of my hairs for 10,000 elite soldiers of the Huns, I won't do it, and I'll let the cannon fodder go desperately or something. ”
A military general stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "My lord, the reinforcements of the Huns have arrived, and they have been killed!" ”
Chen Guang: "What about the emperor?" ”
Motuo's safety is also the key to victory or defeat, in this era of cheating fathers, the main general is killed, and the soldiers immediately have no fighting spirit, which is really a very fucked up setting, but everyone takes it for granted, and Chen Guang has no choice.
Therefore, before the war, it is always necessary to pay attention to the safety of Xia Motuo.
The military general said bluntly: "The emperor personally sits in the camp and is responsible for command and dispatch. ”
Chen Guang secretly despised it: What kind of ghost camp, hiding in the rear is in the rear, pity yourself as a horse master who has to guard the city gate and eat sand, but Mo Tuo ran to the city to hide by himself.
But it's no wonder that the tornado just now scared him to pee, so he didn't dare to come out now.
But Lao Tzu's pee also came out a little bit, so big wind and sand, do you think it's a joke?
"Are you ready?"
Chen Guang asked again.
The military general nodded solemnly: "According to the orders of the adults, everything is ready!" ”
"That's good, just now we didn't take precautions in advance, so the Huns' fast attack was caught off guard, but now it won't, it's time to show the real technology!"
For the victory, Chen Guang was full of confidence from the beginning.
As a civilized person from the modern world, why should I compete with these stupid nomadic barbarians for courage, perseverance, or wisdom?
Compared with these, the progress of civilization and the development of the times themselves have endowed Chen Guang with unparalleled power, and that power is called knowledge.
"Let me show you the iron fist of technology!"
Soon, wooden instruments like large staplers were pushed up the city wall to complete the assembly.
Compared with the lively atmosphere of the Huns, who were like rainbows and the sound of killing, the section of the city wall guarded by Chen Guang was dead silent, and the strange silence made people feel uneasy.
"Hmph, so it's a mystery!"
A Hun general rode a high-headed horse, the armor on his body was shining, and his eyebrows were heroic, although he was young, he had a kind of momentum that was not angry and self-imposing, and he was probably a warrior among the Huns, and his reputation was great.
From the strong cavalry guarding him, it can be known that the identity of this person is definitely not simple, maybe he is a famous general of the Huns.
However, Chen Guang was not interested at all, he still squatted under the battlements, directing the soldiers to complete the assembly of the equipment.
The stapler-like weapon behind the city walls is based on a noose-like trebuchet.
This is a war machine that can project an item weighing 5 catties to a distance of 200 meters, and the key is that Chen Guang has improved it to a certain extent, making it lighter and simpler, and more foolish to use.
The young Hun general rode his horse and walked forward slowly, his eyes full of pride and confidence, as if he had won the victory.
When he came to the city gate fifty meters away, he stopped, this was a very safe position for him, even if there were a sharpshooter in the Yuan army who had pierced Yang at a hundred paces, he was confident that he could dodge the opponent's attack at this distance.
Therefore, he said very calmly: "Who is the Yuan Dog who guards this door, report the name, I ......"
Chen Guang interrupted the other party's handsome behavior in a loud voice very undisciplinedly, and said loudly in a contemptuous tone that was angry and unworthy: "I have never had the habit of asking the other party's name before killing someone, because there is no need to be remembered. ”
The Hun general originally came to call for battle, but he didn't know that he was provoked before he angered the enemy.
"When I go into the city, I will cramp and peel your skin, and your bones will be scattered!" (To be continued.) )
