Chapter 186: Trapping and Killing the Enemy
It was the scout sent out by Xia Yu who spoke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How many people are there on the other side?" Throwing down the work in his hand, Xia Yu asked.
"The marquis, there are 20,000 horses on the other side, all of them are cavalry, and most of them don't even carry bows and arrows." The scout will tell the military in more detail.
"I didn't even have time to bring bows and arrows, and the 20,000 remnants must have been very embarrassed when they fled." Xia Yu analyzed, "All the soldiers listen to the order. ”
"Yes." More than 800 people heard Xia Yu's order.
"The other side is a rout army without the will to fight, but the number of 20,000 is still twenty-five times that of us, this is no longer a number that can be killed by fighting bravely, so our task is to resist them with everything we can use at hand, the general will definitely divide his troops to pursue, and we will hold out until the moment the general arrives is the final victory."
"Do you understand?" Xia Yu yelled at everyone.
"I understand, swear to follow the general."
The joyful atmosphere just now became tense again, no matter how great the military merit is, it can only be obtained by surviving, and everything is empty when they die, the soldiers obviously understand this, but if it really comes to that time, sacrificing their lives for the country will be their only choice, and they will also share the righteousness and self-interest very lightly.
A thousand centaurs defeated five thousand centaurs, and it was completely possible to do it by relying on resourcefulness, but when five thousand rose fourfold to twenty thousand, a miracle could not happen in this cold weapon.
So Xia Yu never had the luxury of hoping to defeat the rout, he just hoped that his cheap brother Meng Yi could come as soon as possible, it was dark, and it was time since Xia Yu last used the wrath of beating his chest, and the time had passed twelve times, and the skill had cooled down and could be used again.
But if he can, Xia Yu doesn't want to use this skill in the following battle, using it means that the worst has happened, but at this moment he has done everything he can.
The captives are all tied together and guarded, and the old people, children, and women in the tribe are almost gone, Xia Yu only has a thousand people, he can't control too much, and he doesn't care what the fate of these will be. In the dark night, 800 soldiers lined up on both sides of the long slope where the triphorse rope was buried, the moon was high and the wind was dark, there was not a trace of fire, and they were all waiting quietly.
"Knock knock~~Knock knock~~Knock knock~~" Lying on the slope, Xia Yu could also feel the vibration from the ground, which was the sound of ten thousand horses galloping.
"Warriors of the tribe, we are almost home, add more strength, and when we return to the royal city, we will give those Qin soldiers a little color and take a look, so that they can know who is the real master of the Gobi." Pawatai shouted loudly at his army, but he didn't expect that he was also a qi practitioner.
Even the personal guards of the king of the Yue clan are qi practitioners, and Pawatai, who has become a general, is naturally also a qi practitioner, he is the highest master raised by the Yue clan country, but his blind practice is still worse than that of Daqin's qi practitioners, and as for the strength, I still have to fight to know.
However, no matter how ruthless the individual's strength is, it can't decide the outcome of a battle, it still depends on the fight of these tens of thousands of soldiers, and the king of the Yue clan will definitely condemn himself after going back, all he can do is to make meritorious service and kill all the Qin army that is biting tightly behind.
Dare to go deep into the Gobi like this, even if he only has 20,000 people in his hands, he has the confidence to fight. After all, they are tired, the Qin army is even more tired, and they are alone in the depths, all of which are unfavorable.
Here it is, just now it was just a vibration from the ground, but now it is a rush that can be heard by the naked ear.
"Pass them down one by one and act according to the heavenly plan." Saying to the deputy general beside him, Xia Yu tightened the rope in his hand.
"No~~"
Under the moonlight, a black dragon-like shadow swam towards the gentle slope.
Closer, closer, the first ride of the charge passed through the first tripwire, the second, the third, and the distance of more than thirty meters passed in an instant.
By the time the first rider had crossed the stumbling horse formation and came to the Zama nail formation, his luck had been exhausted, and the horse's hooves suddenly stepped on the sharp Zama wooden nail.
"Huh~~hiss~~" The war horse let out a mournful roar, knelt down with its front hooves and threw it forward with the man and the horse. The horsemen on the horse did not even have time to scream before they were stabbed into a hornet's nest by the dense number of horse nails. Hundreds of horsemen behind saw this scene, but the war horse under the high-speed gallop could no longer stop the horse's feet, and rushed to the horse trap in front of him like a generous death.
Right now, Xia Yu pulled the rope in his hand suddenly, and the live buckle at the other end of the rope was torn open in an instant, and the taut bow body immediately returned to its original state, and several strands of hemp rope wrapped around it were instantly tensed under the action of the split wire winding rod.
"Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ......" Twenty-eight triphorse ropes rose instantly, and the wooden stakes buried about one meter deep in the ground firmly transmitted the huge kinetic energy transmitted from the rope to the ground, and the ten cavalry in parallel were all tripped, and more than 400 cavalry in the entire tripping horse formation fell into a ball.
"Arrow~~" The two words Xia Yu said in Chinese were extremely clear under the night sky.
"Bang la la~~" The eight hundred light horsemen on the slope stood up instantly, and immediately the strong bow had already stretched out.
More than 800 arrows in the first round of "Xiu~Xiu......" pierced the air and made a sharp sound. Before they could fall, a second round of arrows burst into the sky again.
The Rongdi cavalry, who was only wearing thin leather armor, couldn't see the thousands of cold lights flying towards him from the sky. The increased acceleration given to the arrows by the high slope makes it easier for them to penetrate their bodies.
This is followed by the second, third, and fourth rounds...... Because they came here, Xia Yu and they directly fought at close range, so the bows and arrows they carried with them did not fire a single arrow, plus the inventory of arrows found in Wangcheng, it was enough for this arrow rain to fall for a long time.
This is Xia Yu's Tianzi plan, and the Dizi plan in order to deal with emergencies is not needed.
Although he couldn't see clearly, the blurred movement of the figures, and the screams that never stopped, let the soldiers know that they were shooting in the wrong direction at all.
Half a quarter of an hour passed, and when Li Ergou touched the quiver again, he found that he had shot out more than twenty arrows, and he could feel that his right hand had begun to tremble, and he had reached the limit.
Eight hundred people, each with twenty arrows, that is, sixteen thousand arrows, like a gun, it is impossible to shoot a gun in the head, and it is naturally impossible to destroy sixteen thousand enemies with an arrow aimed only at the general direction. Xia Yu's previous plan was to kill 2,000 people, but it depends on how the battle goes.
"Throw away all the bows and arrows, go downhill, and get on the horse." Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was beaten, Xia Yu beckoned everyone to hurry up and get on the horse.
