Chapter 531: Unexpected?

Military merchants, some businessmen who specialize in following the army to engage in commercial activities, peddling and selling various items to the army, the history of cold weapons in China before the Blue Star often appeared, and the soldiers in the military camp during the Tang Dynasty often exchanged coins or armor for the goods of military merchants.

Of course, because of the special nature of the closure of the barracks and the danger during the war, the prices of the goods sold by military merchants are generally high, far higher than the market price.

In the tent, Ma Hongjun was instantly overjoyed.

"Really? Thank you, Boss! ”

After speaking, Ma Hongjun stood up impatiently, said goodbye to everyone, and quickly left the camp.

Ma Hongjun left, the smile on Dai Mubai's face disappeared, and his face quickly became gloomy.

He turned his head to look at Yu Linglong, asking for her opinion.

"Seventh sister, what should we do next? Do you continue to storm the Häagen-Dazs Pass Fortress? ”

Yu Linglong frowned slightly, lowered her head slightly, and was thinking.

At this moment, the tent curtain opened, and a soldier quickly ran in, knelt in the center, and saluted Dai Mubai quickly and respectfully.

"Report! News came from the scouts in front that the northern army of the Wuhun Empire was rapidly approaching our army, and now the vanguard of its army had reached twenty miles away from the mountains and forests south of Dingcheng! ”

"What?!"

Dai Mubai was startled and stood up suddenly.

He paced back and forth quickly from side to side, frowning.

"How's that for good? What should I do with this......"

In the first place, Yu Linglong waved her hand, motioned for the soldiers to go out, and then spoke out to remind Dai Mubai.

"Brother Mubai, don't panic, Dingcheng is a full eighty or ninety miles away from us, even if Qian Nawei wants to attack immediately, we still have a little time to react."

"I know, but ...... Ay! ”

Dai Mubai sighed heavily and sat back in his seat.

Yu Linglong lightly tapped her cheek with one hand, thinking quickly in her mind.

Since the army in the north of the Wuhun Empire is pressing south, it is obvious that they are going to make a move, at this time, they must predict that we will break through from the south, therefore, the focus of defense is on the south, if we charge in the opposite direction from the north, maybe......

Well? Here's a chance!

Yu Linglong's eyes lit up, and she looked at Dai Mubai, her face full of excitement.

"Brother Mubai, we can ...... like this"

Yu Linglong and Dai Mubai talked in detail, and at noon, everyone had lunch and rested.

In the afternoon, at about three or four o'clock, the army of the Star Luo Empire marched out of the barracks, and many soldiers either rode horses or walked, quickly walking out of the camp.

Yet, instead of going south, they ...... To the north! Advance in the direction of the frontal army of the Wuhun Empire!

This time, many horsemen on horseback put on their armor again, and their entire armor was fine-tuned, reflecting a blinding light in the summer sun.

Among the many soldiers, Dai Mubai, Yu Linglong, and Tang San's people rode horses in the Chinese army.

Dai Mubai turned his head to look at Yu Linglong, his originally depressed face became energetic again, he smiled, and his words were full of admiration.

"Seventh sister, I didn't expect you to think of so much, you are really a heroine, extraordinary."

Yu Linglong smiled back, "Brother Dai praised it falsely." ”

On the other side, Tang San, who had long dark blue hair, frowned.

Dai Mubai saw it and turned his head.

"Little San, do you have any doubts?"

"Hmm."

Tang San nodded, then looked at Dai Mubai and Yu Linglong, his brows still locked.

Tang San's face was a little cautious.

"Brother Dai, although Linglong's proposal to break through in reverse is very reasonable, the speculation about the psychology of the Martial Spirit Empire is also very reasonable. However, Qian Nawei is as careful as a person, and it is very likely that she will also think of this, and if we attack rashly, maybe ......."

Tang San's voice became extremely cautious, and his gaze froze instantly.

"Right in her arms!"

On Dai Mubai's left, Yu Linglong smiled disappreciatively.

"Third brother don't worry, I already have a countermeasure to this, I don't know what the temperament of that Qian Nawei you are talking about, but ......"

Yu Linglong had a hint of cunning on her face.

"Would she have expected us to attack not only head-on, but also to choose daytime instead of night attacks?"

Tang San frowned, recalled the scene he had seen Qian Nawei before, and shook his head.

"No, she just thought we'd avoid being bombed by planes and opt for a night raid."

"That's it!"

Yu Linglong had a little smug on her face.

"Since she didn't expect it, we just caught her off guard, and, as far as I know, the fortifications of the Wuhun Empire a few days ago, in order to prevent a sneak attack at night, all the mountains and forests hundreds of meters in front of it were cut down.

In this way, our cavalry can charge head-on and quickly engage the enemy head-on, the Wuhun Empire has many archers, and its defense is extremely low, once it is close combat, it will inevitably collapse on all fronts, and we will easily win. ”

The previous scouts of the Star Luo Empire sent a large amount of cutting-edge news to Dai Mubai, Yu Linglong and others, including the handling of the mountains and forests in front of the Martial Spirit Empire's fortifications.

In the past few days, in order to avoid another sneak attack at night, the mountains and forests hundreds of meters in front of the fortifications have been cut down.

Moreover, after these days of observation, Yu Linglong has discovered a shortcoming of the Wuhun Empire, that is, there are too many shooters and she is afraid of close combat!

Two night attacks, plus frontal battlefield observation, and reconnaissance information sent by scouts, Yu Linglong found that the proportion of shooters in the Wuhun Empire was as high as seventy!

Such a terrifying proportion of shooters has led to the Martial Soul Empire's offensive ability being very strong, if you put the Martial Soul Empire on a frontal posture, absolutely no army can compete with it, absolutely nothing!

However, there are too many shooters, but there is an extremely obvious shortcoming.

That is, fear of close combat!

The crossbow machine that Tang San captured from the Martial Spirit Empire, Yu Linglong also saw it, the power was indeed terrifying, not to mention the Soul Saint, even if he shot Titled Douluo at close range, it would not be a problem at all!

However, this kind of crossbow machine shoots extremely slowly, and she tried it, ordinary soldiers need to step on the top ring to the ground with their feet, and use their waist force to open, and the power consumed, the time to open the crossbow and load the arrow is also long.

In this way, the continuous rate of fire of the crossbow machine becomes very slow, and the average soldier shoots in a group, and it is already the limit to be able to shoot eight or nine arrows in a minute.

With such a slow firing speed, if the distance is suddenly narrowed, the enemy who rushes forward will be slashed by the enemy who rushes forward because the speed is too slow.

And Yu Linglong is aiming at this.

In the mountains and forests, Yu Linglong said a few words to Tang San, Dai Mubai and others, Dai Mubai was more relaxed, laughing from time to time, while Tang San kept frowning slightly, a little worried.

Can it really be that simple?

Time passed quickly, and after a period of time, the army of the Star Luo Empire quickly came to the front of the fortifications of the Martial Spirit Empire in the north under the cover of the mountains and forests.

Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, south of the city of Ding.

In the lush mountain forest, a large number of figures appeared from the mountains and forests, one by one riding tall horses, wearing full-body fine iron plate armor, and holding a three-meter-long fine iron spear in their hands.

On the flank of the war horse, there is also a cavalry shield, which is inlaid with a pattern carved with a white tiger head.

Dai Mubai, Yu Linglong, Tang San and others rode horses in the Chinese army, and what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a large area of fortifications that had been built.

The ground ahead was empty, and all the trees had been cut down, leaving only low stumps close to the ground.

Next to the stump were small withered grass, the blades of which had long since lost their green, indicating that their vitality had faded.

This was caused by the bombing of the Wuhun Empire, and before the defensive position was built, Qian Nawei ordered the aviation to plow the ground to ensure that the Star Luo Empire troops were forced back.

On the hillside, the criss-crossing ditches spread across the ground, like torn scars.

Through visual inspection, Dai Mubai, Tang San and the others could see that there were figures in the ditch from time to time, revealing half of their bodies from the ditch.

Dai Mubai's side, Yu Linglong reminded him.

"Brother Mu Bai, wait for the war to start, we must quickly rush into the enemy formation, let our soldiers and the Martial Spirit Empire army fight together, so that the enemy will throw a rat trap and dare not bomb."

"Good!"

Dai Mubai responded, and then said, "Qiang!" He pulled out the golden knife he was wearing at his waist, raised it high, and swung it forward.

"The three armies obey the order, and the whole army rushes to kill and annihilate the army of the Martial Spirit Empire!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing were deafening, and countless Star Luo Empire cavalry roared and rushed out of the mountains and forests, rushing straight towards the Martial Spirit Empire fortifications a little farther away.

In the fortifications of the Wuhun Empire, as Yu Linglong expected, many Wuhun Empire soldiers were very lazy or squatting or lying in the trench pits, the sun was very poisonous in summer, and the potholes were very good and the only shade places.

Many soldiers were dozing off, and after several days of fighting, almost everyone thought that the Star Luo Empire only dared to attack at night, so a large number of soldiers were resting and sleeping in order to recharge their energy and be more energetic at night.

The sudden attack and shouts of killing, the sound of horses' hooves shaking the earth were startling, and many soldiers woke up from their slumber in a panic, ran out of the pit in a panic, and stood at their combat posts.

Standing in a hurry, many crossbowmen picked up the Divine Arm Crossbow, stepped on it with their feet, and then opened the crossbow with the help of their waist strength when they got up, and then loaded them with arrows and shot at the oncoming Star Luo Empire army.

"Boom, boom......!"

The sparse crossbow crashed and sounded, and a sparse rain of arrows, no, it can no longer be called a rain of arrows, it can only be said that some arrows with wide intervals shot out, and pierced into the heavy cavalry group of the Star Luo Empire in a slightly curved shape.

"Poof, poof......!"

Some of the soldiers were unable to dodge, and were pierced through the iron armor by the powerful arrows of the crossbow of the gods' arm, and fell off their horses, crying for their lives.

More soldiers dodged left and right, or raised their cavalry shields and iron spears to block or distract.

In the mountains and forests in the distance, Dai Mubai couldn't help but laugh wildly when he saw the state of the soldiers in the fortifications of the Wuhun Empire, and his face was full of sarcasm.

"Hahaha, the Spirit Empire still wants to block my Star Luo Empire with such a spiritual outlook? It's ridiculous and vulnerable! ”
