The Mongols under the dirt slope are still making a gesture, but it is only a gesture. The black large number of people and horses did not continue to impact at the bottom of the slope, which made Zhao Qian feel a little relieved. As long as the leader of the fourth squad can return to the side of the main force, the main force will send troops to the rescue. Without a large army of a few thousand people, just two hundred infantry was enough to save Zhao Qian's troops from the current crisis.

How did my father face tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the Battle of the Yellow River? Maybe it's because you have free time, or maybe it's because you just can't concentrate. Such a thought suddenly came to mind.

With this thought, all kinds of thoughts continue to jump outward. Although it may not be able to solve the problem directly, it is also a problem related to this battle.

For example, Zhao Qian suddenly understood what was going on in the army's repeated emphasis on 'concentrating superior forces to fight a war of annihilation'. If it weren't for the fact that the Song army was better trained and equipped than the Mongol army, the Mongol army under the slope could have used their advantage in three times the strength of Zhao Qian to solve Zhao Qian.

Or maybe the corresponding training in the army will give the order 'seize the terrain!' If Zhao Qian hadn't taken the lead in the formation on the hillside terrain this time, he would have had the advantage of equipment and training, and it was estimated that he would still be defeated by the onslaught of the Mongol cavalry. However, by condescending to the Mongols on the hillside, you can take advantage of the Mongol slowdown caused by the back-attack.

In the midst of such many thoughts, Zhao Qian suddenly remembered one thing. The Battle of the Yellow River, which is used as a classic tutorial, includes a part that makes full use of the terrain. If the extreme case of the diversion of the Yellow River is reduced to the concept of 'creating favorable terrain', the Battle of the Yellow River is undoubtedly the perfect embodiment of 'the right time, place and people'.

Zhao Qian immediately shouted: "Third squad leader, bring someone to dig a pit with me!" A squad leader is on alert! ”

In the infantry there were engineering units specialized in civil engineering, and in the cavalry there were also some fighters who carried sapper shovels. They carried sapper shovels for the purpose of digging pits while the troops were lighting fires and cooking. Cavalry had lances and sabers, and did not need sapper shovels in close combat.

After listening to the order, the third squad leader immediately began to collect sapper shovels. Soon five handfuls were collected.

Zhao Qian was not too little, starting twenty meters away, shoveling out some small pits on the ground with sharp steel sapper shovels. Originally, Zhao Qian also felt that the shovel head of the sapper shovel was very small, which belonged to a relatively stingy type. This time it was used in the digging pit, and Zhao Qian began to feel that such a small shovel head was too correct, according to the principle of physics, the same force can produce more pressure in a smaller contact area. And the higher the pressure, the easier it is to cut through the ground. The easier it is to cut through the ground, the more efficient it is.

The cavalrymen had seen how horses broke their legs, but they didn't need a one-foot-deep pit, as long as the horses stepped into a ten-centimeter pit while running, they would be greatly affected. Even if you keep your legs, you will break your feet and neck like a person.

At this time, life was at stake, and everyone's minds became extremely clear. Everyone waved the sharp sapper shovel, and they did it quickly and well. Everyone quickly dug a dozen pits and was already running out of breath. Zhao Qian stood up and shouted to the squad leader: "Squad leader, you send someone over and continue digging!" ”

At such a critical juncture, the quality of the troops began to manifest. The squad leader soon came to take over, and the panting soldiers picked up their muskets and began to calm their breathing and heartbeat as best they could. And the five people led by the first squad leader quickly took a breather, and he asked the other half of the third squad who had not participated in digging the pit to come over and take over.

Just round after round, the five shovels are always being used at high intensity. Soon, many small pits were dug in the ground within twenty meters of the Song army, and one of the Song army's own soldiers accidentally stepped into the small pit and broke his foot.

Perhaps seeing the Song army tossing so much, the Mongolian army dragged out the corpses of the soldiers of the second squad under the slope, and they cut off the heads of the soldiers of the second squad with knives in public, waving and shouting at the Song army. Many Song Jun couldn't stand it, and Zhao Qian also wanted to look away. But he also knew that he couldn't look away at this time no matter what. It would be bad if the Mongol cavalry took advantage of this time to attack.

"Platoon commander, why don't we find out the seriously injured Mongols in front of us and kill them?" The squad leader shouted indignantly.

Zhao Qian thought this method was good, but finally refused. When the Mongol cavalry retreated, they grabbed and took away those who had suffered minor and moderate injuries with superb riding skills. However, those who are seriously injured can only stay where they are. I could hear them moaning before, but I can't hear them now. Zhao Qian didn't want to be so vindictive to find out these people and kill them, if he did, it would make Zhao Qian feel that he had lowered his moral level to the same level as the Mongols. And Zhao Qian himself looked down on the Mongols.

After more than half an hour of hard work, hundreds of pits appeared irregularly on the ground in front of them. The speed of the Mongol army, which had to attack from the back, had to continue to decrease in this twenty-meter area, which gave the Song army time to further effective killing.

Zhao Qian and the others looked at the terrain at this time, behind them was a mound that the cavalry could not go up, and the infantry had to take a ladder if they wanted to go up. The slope on the left and right is relatively steep, and the Mongols want to use both hands and feet. It was suggested that they should be evacuated to the dirt behind them, but most of them could not let go of their horses, thinking that it would be bad if they ran away. So the troops continued to stay in their current positions.

The pit ahead was prepared, and everyone was much more relieved. At this moment, several flares suddenly rose a few miles to the east, forming a distress signal. At this time, Zhao Qian and the others were shocked, looking at each other's nervous looks, everyone had the same worry in their hearts. The difficulty was that the troops who came to the rescue were ambushed by the Mongols!

If Zhao Qian and the others thought that they would be attacked by hundreds of cavalry of the Mongol army, they would not have sent Zhao Qian and them to this side in a row anyway. Moreover, when Zhao Qian and the others stormed the local rich family's house that harbored the Mongols, the forty cavalry who really entered the battle was the twenty people. And these No. 20 people were also very comfortable in the face of almost forty Mongols, and they did not have the slightest fear. It is to beat the Mongols and kill them all by one.

Therefore, the defeat to the Mongols is a kind of thing that everyone can't believe. The Yuan army of the Song army was frustrated, and it is too strange to look at it.
