Chapter 120: Wheel Battle
Chapter 120: Wheel Battle
Defending the camp, killing a thousand enemies, and losing five hundred yourself, this is already the best result, what Gu Du said about exchanging one for five is actually comforting the generals of each battalion.
Of course, the final data may be better, because there is always a time when the enemy's arrows run out, and once the enemy army rushes through the camp, Gu Du's 2,000 dead soldiers will come in handy.
Ye Xiaodong carried a shield on his back, and jumped around to pick up arrows that could be used, collected them and put them in the arrow cart behind the strong archer.
Gu Du originally asked him to go with Dongfang Xia Lan, but Ye Xiaodong didn't do it, saying that where the master is, he will be there, and if he dies, it will be fate, and Ye Xiaodong also signed the contract document.
Gu Du didn't insist, but just gave Ye Xiaodong a shield. Because this is how he followed Chu Qin into battle, without going through the tempering of the battle array and the test of life and death, he would be like Dongfang Xia Lan, a self-righteous and arrogant waste.
The enemy's arrows were finished, and the trenches on both sides of the camp gate were filled in. It is necessary to take the enemy camp! ”
Gu Duling said: "Release the arrow!" ”
He didn't shoot his arrows for a while, because the enemy was too far away to shoot arrows.
Jufa was the first to rush to the camp gate, anyway, he couldn't go back alive, rushing to the front, both to boost morale and avoid the rain of arrows, unless someone aimed at him alone, otherwise by the time the rain of arrows fell, he had already rushed over.
And in fact, Gu Du was aiming at him alone, Gu Du could now shoot two stone iron tire bows, and the projectile could reach three hundred steps, and the fine shot could reach one hundred steps.
Gu Du didn't intend to let Jufa die in battle, and Gu Du used a whistle arrow, an arrow was shot, the whistle sounded, and when Jufa was in the middle of the arrow, the two thousand dead soldiers who had already been lying in the west quietly rushed behind the enemy.
Gu Du ordered loudly: "Throw oil and ignite!" ”
I didn't use fire before, because the enemy still had arrows, holding the oil tank on the pheasant, it was easy to get an arrow, once the arrow was hit, the oil tank was difficult to ensure whether it fell inside or outside, and the number of enemy troops attacking the camp at that time was not much, and the fire oil was so much, it must be used to the most critical moment.
In addition, another purpose of lighting the fire was to illuminate the more than 2,000 dead soldiers outside the camp.
The fire broke out outside the camp, and the screams were deafening, and Gu Du ordered again: "Pheasants on the archers!" ”
For more than an hour, all the enemy troops were annihilated, and the corpses piled up outside the camp, but Gu Du was not happy, and ordered: "Each battalion quickly checks the loss, treats the wounded, repairs the camp gate and barracks, clears the corpse pile, immediately cooks, eats and sleeps, no one is allowed to remove their armor, and the blade is not allowed to leave their bodies!" ”
After saying that, he went down to the tower and said to Rexia, "Go back to sleep." ”
Turning his head and saying to Ye Xiaodong: "Go back with your uncle, there is bread and meat in the tent, eat a bite and go to bed quickly." ”
Lixia was stunned and asked, "What did you think of again?" ”
Gu Du replied: "The enemy army fought to the death, only attacking one battalion, and when the enemy army rushed to the camp, I didn't see a soul master, I'm afraid that the next group of enemy troops will come in a blink of an eye, this is the wheel warfare method." ”
After speaking, he said to the herald: "Raise the account!" ”
As dawn approached, a soldier rushed into the tent and reported: "Marshal, the enemy has arrived at the land of three miles and is resting!" ”
Gu Du went out of the tent and climbed the tower, saw a group of people in the distance, and ordered loudly: "Sword and shield hand forward!" The archers stepped back! ”
We can't let the archers die anymore.
Ma Chongren asked loudly: "Dashuai, do you want Dongying to rush to help?" ”
Gu Du replied: "It's not time! ”
There are more than 60,000 people in each of the two battalions, and in the battle just now, more than 13,000 casualties were killed and wounded, basically one for two, but the spy reported that the Spirit Emperor raised 150,000 troops, and if the wheel warfare method was used, the soldiers on their side were tired, and it would be difficult to say the next battle.
Gu Du looked at it from afar and roughly estimated that the enemy army in the distance was about 20,000, that is to say, after this battle, the Spirit Emperor still had an army of 100,000!
The east camp can not move, or it is not yet moving, although for the field battle, Zeguo soldiers have an advantage, but the front of the battalion dug a trench, not only to block the enemy's large-scale rapid charge, but also to hinder their own rescue, rescue is a bloody battle, a little careless, will hurt the vitality.
A herald ran to the gate of the camp and shouted, "Great commander! General Jing asked the marshal, do you want Dongying to help? ”
Gu Du replied loudly: "Stick to the camp!" You can't fight without an order! If you violate the order, you will be killed! ”
"Command!" The herald agreed, turned his horse's head and ran away.
Gu Du said loudly: "Soldiers! The enemy's attack on our battalion with a tired army is to create a fighter plane for its main force to break the camp! If this battalion is broken, the enemy army will definitely go straight to the imperial city! Dongying will also go out of the camp to seek war, and Zeguo is bound to perish! From ancient times to the present, Wenchen has died! Soldiers fight to the death! You are the last barrier for the emperor and the people! Don't let the enemy get half a step closer! ”
"Roar!" Everyone said yes in unison.
Outside the camp, Dongfang Xia Lan rode Mo Xuan and ran over with Emperor Ze on his back, Gu Du's eyes widened, but the soldiers of the whole army cheered together.
Gu Du shouted: "Open the camp gate quickly!" ”
After letting the two of them in, Gu Du shouted again: "Close the camp gate!" Prepare for battle! ”
Everyone quieted down, and Gu Du said to Emperor Ze: "The ministers can't go down to the tower to salute. ”
"It's okay!" Zedi put on his armor, climbed the tower, and said, "I am here to accompany you." ”
Gu Du nodded, the emperor personally came to supervise the battle, which could boost morale more than he said 10,000 words.
Dongfang Xia Lan said timidly: "The emperor must come, the heads of the three divisions have also agreed, I can't help it, don't blame me." ”
Gu Du smiled and said, "I don't blame you. ”
The enemy rushed up, the rain of arrows came first, and when the screams rang out, Dongfang Xia Lan opened his eyes wide, his eyes were dull, and his little face was pale.
Imagining a war is completely different from watching it with your own eyes, the last time she was in Arashijo she was very far away, only to see a large group of people rushing over, flying arrows all over the sky, and people on both sides fell.
This time, however, she was so close that she could clearly see the arrows entering the soldiers' chests, the blood raised by the knives and spears during the fight, the pain on the faces of the slain, and the hideousness on the faces of the murderers.
At the same time, you can hear the terrifying shouts of killing as the enemy charges, the thunderous drums of war on both sides, the screams of people when they are wounded and before they die, and even the muffled sound of knives slashing on the body.
In the Kanzhan Mountain, which is a paradise, Dongfang Xia Lan has looked forward to the battlefield of riding horses several times, leading the army to rush and kill, and the mighty and sassy blood-stained robes.
In front of you, it's like hell on earth!
There is no imagination of galloping horses, no impulse to fight hard, and no more longing for the attention of tens of thousands of people after making meritorious contributions.
Yes, it's just terrifying.
