Chapter 9: Loss before the battle

In the county town of Wuguo, the figure is depressed, and a caravan passes by from time to time, in addition to this, the soldiers are fierce with fangs, plundering the people.

In the county office, Cao De's black face was full of monstrous anger, and he shouted angrily: "What? It's really hateful that a small country is so arrogant! ”

Feng Shui's voice was very cold, and he said: "The soldiers are very fast, Zhenguo must not have imagined that we would attack so quickly, and the opponent would be caught off guard, 10,000 troops will come to the city, and the opponent's army will be shaken, so it will naturally break the city." ”

Hollyhock frowned and pondered, "Didn't you notice something? The other party is not a fool, how can he not even know the most basic account, there must be a chance of winning to be like this, so what are their chances of winning? ”

Cao De glared at Hollyhock with disdain and said, "What are you chirping, the other party is a dime boy, and he will lose face." ”

Feng Shui pondered for two seconds and said: "The other party is a 16-year-old boy, under the repeated provocations of the envoy, it is not impossible to make such a decision, blood is the head!" ”

Hollyhock opened his mouth and still didn't continue, he knew in his heart that no one would listen to him even if he said it, Cao De disdained him, and Feng Shui treated him well on the surface, but he was a little dissatisfied with him below.

Cao De glanced at the hollyhock disdainfully and said, "That's good, 10,000 troops will go out with me, and the soldiers will be fast!" ”

10,000 troops rushed out from all over the place to assemble in the barracks, noisy, and scolding.

Cao De, hollyhock, and sealed water, stood on the high platform, watching the soldiers gather.

Hollyhock looked at the undisciplined soldiers with some concern and said, "Otherwise, it's not too late to train for a few more days!" ”

Cao De said angrily: "Didn't you hear the speed of the soldiers? What's the chirp? Training? Drill a fart! The other side had a total of 2,000 men, and 10,000 of us crushed him. ”

Feng Shui said coldly: "This 10,000 soldiers are not elite, they have hollowed out their bodies over the years, and they will not make any improvement in training, but because they are used to being lazy, they will only make resentment if they are forcibly trained, and the accumulation will lead to a roaring camp." ”

Hollyhock sighed, what Feng Shui said was good, there is evidence, what else can he say, he can only pray that he thinks more.

In this way, the army of 10,000 hurriedly set off and rushed to Jiang County.

On the horse, Feng Shui carefully looked at the map and said: "After we get out of this valley today, we can set up camp, General Cao, you send scouts to the top of the small valley in front to investigate and see if there is an ambush, for safety." ”

Cao De has no objection.

Hollyhock opened his mouth and did not speak.

This valley is gourd-shaped, there are passages at both ends, one side of Wuguo County is the bottom of the gourd, the road is wide, nearly five hundred meters long, the road becomes narrow, and only four people can be supported to pass at the same time at the end of Jiangxian County.

The Lian Guo scout climbed the mountain and probed above the valley pass, but found no enemy, so he returned to the army to report.

At this moment, it was already approaching dusk in the afternoon, and after the scouts returned to the army to report, Cao De's army entered.

………………………………

Qin Tian was cold-eyed, neither Zhenguo nor Lian Guo had long-range crossbows, this was for sure, so Qin Tian transferred thick shields to five hundred people overnight, withstood Guguchi, and was not afraid that the other party would have bows and crossbows.

At this time, Xun Yu rode his horse over, got off his horse and stood beside Qin Tian to observe for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Monarch, I have handed over the defense of Jiangxian County to Bian Zhan. ”

Qin Tian nodded and said, "Our scouts climbed up the valley and found the other party's scouts, and the other party's army arrived later, this is a hard battle!" ”

Xun Yu was silent for a moment and said: "I went to Ma Hu to count the treasury funds before, and found that the treasury is full, I am afraid that it has accumulated for more than ten years, and the previous generation of monarchs is not too incompetent. ”

Qin Tian "hehe" said: "Even if you have money, what if you have it? The crossbow requires a high level of technology and is very difficult to make, and it is also a strategic material, and the supply is very scarce. ”

Xun Yu lowered his head and said: "We only made more than ten bamboo bows temporarily, the power is small, and the accuracy is also very poor, so we can't go to the battlefield at all." ”

Qin Tian "sighed" and said, "Let's find a way." ”

Xun Yu's eyes froze, and he said to Qin Tian: "Monarch, here!" ”

Qin Tian said to Xun Yu: "The army is under your full command, and it depends on your performance." ”

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the monarch would put himself in danger, and he was afraid that the monarch would forcibly command, but he didn't expect Qin Tian to take the initiative to hand over the military power to him.

Qin Tian also knows his own ability, he is self-aware, it doesn't matter if he is the master or not, but you don't want to make trouble, besides, Qin Tian is the monarch, just control these famous generals and courtiers, as for the small soldiers and the like, let the famous generals and courtiers master it.

Xun Yu responded: "Let the ministers win this battle for the monarch and open a good start for the country." ”

Qin Tian said with a smile: "Okay! ”

Xun Yu stood beside Qin Tian and coldly ordered to the herald on the side: "Pass my military order, shout military order!" ”

"Those who don't listen to orders, behead! Those who retreat from the battle, slash! Those who disturb the morale of the army, slash! ”

Xun Yu gave another order: "Order Zhao Zheng to stand still and wait for a surprise attack from behind after dark!" ”

"No!" The herald immediately sent one to give the order.

Xun Yu gave the next order: "After the sappers hide the trap, they will withdraw immediately, the shield soldiers will desperately block the valley mouth, and the pikemen will wait for the opportunity to stab!" ”

At this moment, it was approaching dusk, less than an hour before it was dark, and the sappers had dug a trap for the whole afternoon.

Simple rejection of horses, up to five meters deep and burying the sharp knife point of the trap, the rolling stones and sassal wood hidden under the jungle on both sides of the valley mouth.

At this moment, Cao De's army saw the iron wall without a single slit, and was stunned.

Cao De didn't expect the other party to be waiting for them here, Feng Shui's eyelids jumped, and he had an ominous premonition.

Feng Shui rode on the horse, looked at the number of the other party carefully, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The other party should have come, there are only a thousand people." ”

Cao De suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Does that little bastard of Zhenguo want a thousand people to defeat ten thousand people? Joke! ”

Hollyhock closed his mouth tightly, didn't say a word, his expression was solemn, and he looked carefully on the road ahead for a while, and there was some hesitation between his eyebrows to remind.

At this moment, Cao De shouted: "Brothers, rush over and crush them. ”

An army of 10,000 rushed over with high spirits, and Cao De led 2,000 cavalry to take the lead and rushed over.

Xun Yu's eyebrows were solemn, and when he watched Cao De charge over with the cavalry, his hand was already raised high, waiting for Cao De to arrive at the predetermined place.

The herald stared at Xun Yu's hand tightly, looking nervous, Xun Yu's hand represented the hope of Zhenguo.

Cao De's cavalry is getting closer and closer!

Xun Yu's expression became more and more solemn, and he waved his arm to add the message of the commander, and then to the ears of the engineer This time is removed, then Xun Yu must give an order at least ten seconds first.

Getting closer......

Twenty-five seconds......

Fifteen seconds......

Xun Yu shouted: "Pull the horse!! ”

The herald shouted hysterically, "Pull the horse!! ”

The sapper pulled the gray rope tightly, his expression was extremely tense, and as soon as he heard the herald's order, he did not hesitate to pull open the thick rope of the baby's fist and pull it away fiercely.

Suddenly, a row of rejected horses pulled up with dust, Cao De was shocked, didn't the water sealing military division say that the other party just came? There are only 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the other side should still have soldiers and horses who have not come, why is this happening!!

Cao De relied on his superb force, kicked the horse's back with both feet, jumped onto the valley wall on the side, and clung to a protruding rock.

The other more than 2,000 cavalry did not have the slightest accident to bump into the rejected horse, the front 200 cavalry because of the horse suddenly lost their footing and fell off the horse, before they could get up, the cavalry behind again stumbled and pressed on their bodies, and was immediately crushed to death by more than 100 pounds of horses and the cavalry behind them one after another.

The 2,000 soldiers and horses failed to stop in time because of the charge of more than 500 meters, and they were completely lost!

In the first encounter, two thousand precious cavalry were lost, and at this moment, the faces of Cao De, Hollyhock, and Feng Shui were a little gloomy.

Cao De got off the rock, picked up a horse, and roared with a gloomy face: "The whole army charges!" Kill me! ”

Feng Shui's face changed and said, "Calm down, the other party must still have a trap!" ”

At this moment, Cao De was already overwhelmed by anger, without the slightest reason, he raised his sixty-two pound long knife, relying on his identity as the main general, and forcibly ordered: "Kill me!! ”

Xun Yu showed a smile and said to Qin Tian on the side: "It's really lucky, it was impossible to kill all the two thousand cavalry with one horse rejection, but I didn't expect the other party to launch a charge without the slightest defense, and the victory rate in this battle has increased to seven." ”

Qin Tian smiled and did not speak.

Xun Yu restrained his smile and said, "But we still can't take it lightly, the battlefield is changing rapidly." ”

A large number of foot soldiers waved the long knives in their hands, mustered up the courage to roar and rushed to the steel shield wall, Cao De also rushed to the shield wall, but at this time, Cao De felt that something was wrong with the sound of the horse's hooves, and quickly stopped, and rode the horse forward two steps slightly, and listened carefully, Cao De, who was originally full of enthusiasm, suddenly calmed down, his face changed, and he hurriedly retreated, shouting: "Retreat!" Evacuate! Evacuate! ”

The soldiers jumped over the mountain of cavalry corpses, trampled to death several cavalry followers who were still breathing, and Cao De rushed towards the opponent's shield wall, not noticing that there was some emptiness under his feet.

Just as Cao De heard his shout, the wooden planks hidden under the turf under his feet could not support the weight of more than a thousand soldiers completely shattered, and a trap twenty-six meters wide and fifteen meters deep, with sharp swords stuck in the bottom of the pit, appeared.

A thousand soldiers fell to the bottom of the pit, the long sword pierced through the chest, the blood spurted out, sprayed in the pit, one by one the soldiers fell, those swords died tragically in the same way as a string of rock sugar gourds, and the six swords on the body of the most miserable one passed through the body, the appearance was unbearable, and the smell of blood spread......

Cao Dezema returned to Feng Shui's side and said curtly, "What now? ”

Feng Shui said solemnly: "Fill it with corpses, there is no way, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses have been lost, if we can't take Zhenguo, all three of us will be beheaded." ”

Cao De hurriedly ordered: "Carry the corpses of the cavalry and fill the traps." ”

Xun Yu in the distance saw the other party's movements, and Qin Tian asked with some concern: "The other party filled it with a corpse, what should I do?" ”

Xun Yu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Yu has already prepared." ”

Taking advantage of this gap, Qin Tian curiously used an insight technique on Cao De, and the next moment, a blood-red virtual frame popped up.

Sanguine! Cao De: Ability: 69, Loyalty: 82

Qin Tian "tsk" twice and said, "The force is lower than Zhao Zheng." ”

Xun Yu looked at the sky after hearing this, it was already dusk at this moment, and the sky was dyed red by the setting sun, which was extremely beautiful. Xun Yu said indifferently: "There is still more than half an hour before it gets dark." Then his eyes watched the movement of the enemy army.
