Chapter 447: The Plan of the Empty City (2)

To be more precise, the incident began to happen when General Tang led nearly 6,000 people out of the small city of Hamburg!

Hiss......

As soon as the six thousand cavalry withdrew from Cloud Castle City, the cavalry team after the six thousand cavalry suddenly let out a long roar, and the horse's hooves slipped and flew forward violently.

Because the houses on both sides were not at this time boiling soybeans and pouring oil.

"It's not good, there's volt!"

There is no need to look closely at the situation at all, and when they see the abnormal state of the horses, the Beirong soldiers can immediately confirm that there is an ambush here.

However, it was too late!

Soybeans and oil spread out on the ground, and the horses were very fast, so it was not smooth and rocky, and many horses suffered from it immediately!

It's just that this oil field is only arranged at the door. It seems that he is going to be here, and the remaining Beirong soldiers are out of Cloud Castle City.

No! It's not "like", the Da Chu ambush soldiers, this is indeed the idea of fighting at this time!

"Whoosh ......"

While the horses were singing in unison, among the houses on both sides near the low gate of this small city, countless arrows suddenly flew from top to bottom. The Beirong cavalry who were still in the city were caught off guard, and a large area immediately fell to the front. At the same time, the rain of arrows shot out of the open space near the gate in front of them.

That piece was poured with countless amounts of oil. Moreover, rockets were fired into the open space. As soon as the fire rain fell, countless flammable materials such as dead grass and dead wood poured out on the roof of the house in front of them, and a raging fire immediately ignited on the horizontal area in front of the gate.

When a fire starts, it means that the road ahead is blocked! The Beirong army who were still left in Cloud Castle City couldn't get out of this Cloud Castle town for the time being before the fire was extinguished!

And this fire—

At the same time, the first batch of 6,000 Beirong cavalry who walked out of Cloud Castle City was also blocked outside the city!

When they found out that they wanted to rush back, the fire was raging behind them, and it was difficult for them to turn back immediately.

This move is clearly to seal and lock the insiders of the door, but also to block the outsiders!

There are people who set fires. And in the houses next to the Beirong soldiers in the small city, there were also countless arrows flying out at this moment. The rain of arrows in this area is naturally all aimed at the Beirong cavalry in the center.

The purpose of setting fire is to block the road and prevent the other Beirong cavalry from rushing out of the small city of Cloud Castle!

Because at all times, if you want to get the most out of an ambush, you have to make good use of the terrain!

In the area from Jinzhou to Luozhou, the small town of Yunbao is almost the only convenient place to set up an ambush. Because there are dense houses in the city, it is inconvenient for cavalry to play.

If the small city of Izumo Castle is an empty place, Beijung's proud Beirong Iron Cavalry should get the greatest advantage.

The reason why they didn't do it immediately when the Beirong army first entered the small city of Yunbao was because they still needed more Beirong troops to enter this small city. The length of the small city is not long, and it cannot melt 100,000 Beirong military horses at one time.

But when the head of the Beirong army walked from the easternmost part of the small city to the westernmost part, it was also the time when the largest number of military horses of the Beirong army entered the small city.

However, what the new commander meant was to let more cavalry at the end of the Beirong soldiers enter the small city. Therefore, a part of the cavalry at the head could be kept out of the westernmost gate of the town: that is, the six thousand cavalrymen who left the town for the first time!

The meaning of the new commander is: After isolating the 6,000-headed cavalry, it is best to close the road and start moving!

Fire, for the closure of the road.

If you release arrows without fire, you will slaughter the enemy!

There is also an inconvenience to using the premises: the premises are flammable. Not to mention that the fire starts and the house will hurt itself, that is, it can avoid the fire, if the house is burned down and cannot stand on the house, the top-down terrain advantage of the Chu army will be lost.

Therefore, it is better not to set fire to the battle in the city!

Of course, you can't just burn the city and destroy the enemy. Therefore, it is not a forest, first, it is not easy to burn the city full of fire, second, it is easy to be discovered by the Beirong soldiers when it spreads too much oil, and third, the small Beirong soldiers in the city are forced to rush out of the fire and open space.

Why choose Castle? The greatest purpose is not precisely to weaken the superiority of cavalry.

Therefore, I saw that at this time, with the rain of arrows, countless round beans continued to be poured out of the roof of the house.

Beans couldn't hurt the enemy, but on the empty road full of beans in an instant, the cavalry horses, which couldn't give full play to their advantages because of the narrow road, became more and more unstable.

Countless cavalry fell from their horses in an instant, and the horses rowed straight away, and soon the Beirong cavalry noticed: it is inconvenient to fight immediately!

"Kill!"

The Beirong cavalry could not let themselves be slaughtered, and immediately jumped off their horses to counterattack.

However, because they were defenseless and on the way, the cavalry and infantry were still scattered, and there was no cavalry and infantry combined with the enemy's formation. Of course, this place is narrow, and it is not suitable for any troops.

There are a lot of cavalry in Beirong, and they have not responded to the enemy's defense, and the most advanced in front of this Cloud Castle City is all cavalry. The cavalry could not hold shields, so when the arrows rained down on the houses, they could not hide with shields. After dismounting and escaping to the premises, this is a process.

This process was enough for the rain of arrows to strangle most of them.

Because—

The number of the Great Chu Army, he is not a lot at all!

Where is this in the thousands?

More than 10,000! At least twenty or thirty thousand!

"Archer!"

Fortunately, there were also quite a few archers among the cavalry. As he counterattacked, a rain of arrows flew towards the roof of the house.

But what is it to be prepared? Of course, it means that everything is prepared!

Many of the houses were covered with cattails, and many of them were used as cover. Some of the houses have a parapet that can be hidden. These can be used to avoid arrows.

In addition, on the side of Da Chu, it was an attack launched by a combination of several people, and the division of labor was quite clear: there were those who released arrows, and there were those who sprinkled beans. Naturally, shield bearers protect their companions!

What does it mean to do more with less? It is natural to take advantage of the terrain, give full play to your own advantages, limit the enemy's advantages, and win more with less!

What's more, the Chu soldiers who were selected by the new commander to come to the houses of this small city include all the soldiers from Luozhou. Coupled with the fact that they look at the map every day these days, it means that they know the terrain quite well.

In addition to the roof of the house, there are also many soldiers who have been waiting for a long time in the house!

After dismounting, the Beirong cavalry naturally wanted to hide from the rain of arrows, so they needed to rely on sheltered houses.

However, with this dodge, it is likely that many Chu troops will fly out behind him, and the Chu army will launch a second wave of sneak attacks.

There were some sneak attacks that were unsuccessful, and they directly fought the Beirong army head-on. On the side of Da Chu, he will no longer be at a disadvantage: because most of the people selected by the new commander here are infantry who are used to killing the enemy with their hands on weekdays.

The cavalry has been in place for a long time, and immediately kills the enemy strongly. But as soon as you get off the horse, you may be defeated by fighting with the infantry because of your past habits.

Isn't it for this moment to force the cavalry to dismount in this narrow area? Because the cavalry is not so good at fighting after dismounting!

So, where are the cavalry of Da Chu?

The houses and walls on the easternmost side of Cloud Castle City, the edges and sides of the city, suddenly all collapsed. After the wall fell, countless Great Chu cavalry rushed out to the east.

At the same time, in the Cloud Castle City in the middle aisle behind them, a row of huge fires were also lit up blocking the road! The fire is long and stretches straight to the sides of the aisle. That is: the direction behind which the Great Chu cavalry rushed out.

Boy! In addition to the westernmost part, this easternmost part has also arranged the fire of blocking! It's just that this fire started when the Great Chu cavalry hidden in the city in the westernmost part rushed out! The purpose was to prevent the Beirong cavalry who had entered the city from turning back and retreating eastward.

In other words: our big Chu soldiers can rush out! And you can't turn around and rush out!

Moreover, because the wall house was torn down, the fire in this place, in order to obtain a blocking effect, was put quite large!

Why, then, did you want to tear down the outer walls on both sides of the town? Because, this place is narrow, and it is not suitable for the Great Chu cavalry hidden in the westernmost part of the city to rush out in large numbers! The cavalry needed a wide area. Being able to push the wall at this moment should be prepared to break the wall in advance.

Moreover, the cavalry rushed out of the city far from the sides of the aisle, which had no doors, and it was even more necessary to tear down the walls before exiting.

The reason why they do not approach the middle aisle is because the horse's hooves are not as good as people, and they are prone to movement. If it is close to the aisle, it is easy for the Beijon cavalry to spot movement when passing through this place.

What did the Great Chu cavalry rush out of the easternmost part of the small city for?

At this time, they rushed out from both sides and converged in the center of the front. In the center of the front, on the opposite side is a small Beirong cavalry, as well as the remaining Beirong baggage brigade and the Beirong infantry behind the baggage brigade!

Block the Beijon cavalry in the city and let the nimble infantry ambush!

And Da Chu's own cavalry, if they want to give full play to their advantages, naturally they can't also be trapped in the city. The open space is the right area for them to play: and the Beirong baggage team at the front is their goal at the moment!

In the "wipe ......" cavalry team, Bi Tiangao exclaimed, and finally knew why the new commander wanted the six thousand Beirong cavalry in front of him to leave Yunbao City first.

Because the Beirong soldiers are walking one after another. Yunbao City is too small, and there are not many six thousand Beirong cavalry at the head, and six thousand Beirong cavalry at the tail.

Cavalry against cavalry, they have no advantage!

And right now, because of the 6,000 cavalry that were blocked at the head, there were only more than 1,000 cavalry left in the tail that had not entered the small city of Cloud Castle.

And they rushed out at this time: there were more than 20,000 cavalry!

As for the remaining Beijung baggage and infantry troops...... Although there were at least 50,000 of them, the cavalry already had a considerable advantage over the infantry. Although due to the huge difference in numbers, the cavalry of the Chu army still did not have the upper hand. But the new marshal said that the cavalry was dispatched, not in love with war, and the purpose was just to-

Burn the grain and grass!

"Charge!"

After the long howl of Qi Qi in the Chu army, when the war horses on both sides rushed into the Beirong soldiers, the targets of each person's spears immediately became the Beirong vehicles after the thousand cavalry!

When not chasing people, the usual marching convention in the army: the cavalry is in front, the baggage is in the middle, and the infantry is behind!
