Chapter 10: Ambush

"Over there, it's quite lively, isn't it?" Wen Zhong ordered all the cavalry to take off the cloth bags on the four hooves of the horses, and said to Gongsun Yu, the staff general beside him, in a slightly mocking tone.

In fact, Gongsun Yu felt very uncomfortable with His Royal Highness the Second Prince and General speaking in such a relaxed tone, but out of the duty of his subordinates, he still couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, is it really okay to let the third prince fight over there like this?" ”

Wen Zhong shrugged his shoulders and took off his long sword from the back of his mount, a little puzzled how this guy used a sword to fight on the battlefield before, and then turned his head to look at the elegant staff officer Sun Yu and said, "Man, since he can go to the battlefield, it proves that he needs to grow." How can we grow without going through the test of blood and fire? Do you know why I only took you out, and the other generals did not move? ”

Gongsun Yu looked at the ambiguous eyes of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and suddenly felt a faint sadness in the chrysanthemum, and shook his head with some anxiety in his heart.

I saw Wen Zhong grinning and revealing that trademark smile: "Because, the battlefield over there is the protagonist." We? It's just a bunch of idlers who steal war exploits. ”

"Your Highness... Do you have any other plans? Gongsun Yu suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, and suddenly felt bad.

...

"Your Highness, the barbarian pursuers have already approached our troops, are they still not attacking?" The one who spoke quietly was a white-faced and beardless young man, with long narrow eyes and soft eyes, as if he had an inexplicable conspiracy.

Hal was obviously very assertive, shook his head decisively and said, "If the bait is scattered, you will know that it is a mortal fate." If you want not to die, you have to run faster, not faster than the enemy, just faster than your own people! As long as there are soldiers rushing into the ambush site, then the plan is half the battle. Our goal is not to crush the entire barbarian army, but to win a victory first, so as to demoralize the barbarians. ”

The cold words without emotion suddenly made the white-faced and beardless man beside Hal subconsciously feel a pang in his heart, and he deeply felt that the old and the family's species, almost none of them were good stubble. Looking at the eyes of the third prince, it no longer looks like looking at a child.

Just a few hundred meters away from where the Halfben formation was located, a large group of people dressed as Central Plains soldiers frantically urged their horses to retreat towards the arranged evacuation point. Not far behind them was a mighty army of barbarians. Most of these passionate men who have been lit for most of the day are a little angry when they get up, and after being woken up in the middle of the night, they are even more eager to arrest the person who woke them up and whip the corpse a hundred times.

The Central Plains soldiers who had withdrawn from the ten locations were chased and cried wolf, and less than half of the thousand-strong soldiers were left by now, and those who remained had been broken down into parts by the barbarian soldiers who were screaming behind them. Although he knew that there would be such an end, just by looking at the appearance of this group of Central Plains cavalry covered in porcupine, he could guess what kind of blow this group of people suffered.

"Let's go! Come on! Ahead is where our army is! The stupid guy who shouted was a small colonel, obviously a fool who knew a little about the situation, but didn't know a lot, and shouted loudly for fear that the pursuers behind him wouldn't hear it.

Of course, in the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, such shouts did not do much. There were still many porcupine-like Central Plains soldiers who fell off their horses and were trampled into meat sauce by the barbarian cavalry who came after them.

This distance of hundreds of meters has become an insurmountable barrier for these Central Plains soldiers. Finally, at the cost of paying hundreds of people, the remaining hundred or so Central Plains soldiers finally broke into the mountain road between the two dirt slopes.

Basically, there is a little common sense of the art of war, or anyone who has read a certain book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that there is a famous military advisor who set a fire in a place called Bowangpo and gave him a perfect opening show on the stage. Later, this classic called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" spread to Dongying, and was used in naval battles by a guy named Maori, who burned down the naval army owned by the guy who would later be known as the Sixth Heavenly Demon King.

But in this era, the IQ of this group of barbarians is a little low, and there is no such classic called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the history of the sky, so they hit the street.

Single-mindedly trying to catch this group of Central Plains pigs who woke up them back to sacrifice to the sky, the group of barbarian cavalry did not hesitate to chase after the soldiers who were still fleeing, just like the Ula warriors, and they didn't even care about the little weeds on the dirt slopes on both sides.

To be honest, this soil slope is still a little different from Bowangpo, probably just a huge arc, and it is impossible to look at the other end from one end.

Seeing that most of the pursuers had fallen into an ambush circle, many of the soldiers hiding closer to the dirt slope had even smelled the grass smell on their horses, but they could not hear the sound of the general attack for a long time.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to attack yet?" The white-bearded man was a little anxious, the soldiers who fled into the dirt slope were already about to cross the dirt slope, if the barbarian soldiers were allowed to cross the dirt slope, then the army and the army that were hiding behind the dirt slope and the army would be exposed to the iron hooves of the barbarians.

The barbarian army that was seduced this time was no less than the 20,000 Central Plains army led by Hal, and even in terms of number alone, it was far more than the army led by Hal.

Hal was also a little breathless, but he never gave the order to attack, he... Seems to be waiting for something.

Therefore, now everyone has some ghost thoughts, the pursuit of the entire barbarian tribe has entered the dirt slope, and at the same time, the vanguard has also penetrated the soil slope and found the Central Plains army guarding behind the soil slope. They screamed, and some people meant that they had military exploits, cattle and sheep, and money. The leader of the vanguard was even more overjoyed, because he recognized the banner of this army, which belonged to the Central Plains royal family.

There is no need to think about it at all, as soon as the blade points at the Central Plains army that is close at hand, it is about to rush forward.

At this moment, Hal stood up, "Sound the trumpet, do it!" ”

Accompanied by a cloud-piercing arrow and a sky-piercing thunder, the two armies turned from an ambush battle to an encounter, and the Central Plains soldiers guarding the Harben formation moved their big shields one after another, revealing rows of crossbow machines behind the shields. Column after column of crossbow arrows were like scythes, frantically harvesting the barbarian cavalry that rushed here quickly.

But the barbarian cavalry didn't care at all, and had been fighting with the Central Plains pig for many years, of course they knew that although such a crossbow machine was powerful, it was very slow to reload, and it could only shoot one round at most, and it would lose its effect.

It was only a stone's throw away from the cavalry charge, but at this moment, a frightened shout came from the rear. The barbarian cavalry in the front row suddenly plunged into the military formation of the Central Plains soldiers, and the next two or three rows of cavalry also followed, but the barbarian cavalry after them reined in their horses and fled frantically backwards.

Smoke and fire billowed from behind, and the terrible wails and roars of the barbarians were everywhere. After the ambush soldiers succeeded in one blow, they did not engage in close combat with the barbarian cavalry below, but frantically picked up the configured bow and crossbow and shot wildly at the barbarian cavalry below the dirt slope.

Under the threat of fire and smoke, the horses under the crotch of the barbarian cavalry could no longer care about their masters, and followed the instinct of animals to be afraid of fire, running and jumping wildly, overturning countless cavalry to the ground and trampling into flesh.

In the meantime... 2k reading web
