Chapter 63: Clever Tips
The soldiers of the East Vietnamese Army received the order to rush forward and kill, of course, it was impossible to stop without permission, even if the people in front stopped, they could only be trampled to death by their comrades behind them.
So they could only grit their teeth and continue to rush forward. With this rush, he stepped into Chen Mu's trap.
All the East Vietnamese soldiers screamed and frantically shook their feet and used their weapons to remove the contents from their feet.
Even though I drink chicken soup for the soul every day, it hurts to have this kind of thing stuck in my feet.
It's not a problem that can be solved by telling you the blessing of the gods.
Each of them had a small plank on his feet, and in the middle of the plank, there was a large iron nail.
Chen Mu originally planned to use tribulus terrestris, which would have a better effect. However, there was a shortage of materials on the front line, so it could only be replaced by nail boards.
The soldiers in front of the East Vietnamese Army entered the trap, and the people behind did not know what was going on, and continued to rush forward, blaming the comrades in front for being weak and disloyal to the belief in the mountain gods.
This is because the terrain chosen by Chen Mu is good. On the side of the Great Xia Army, the terrain was a little higher, and there were only two rows of soldiers blocking the trap in the distance.
Now there are soldiers of the East Vietnamese Army in the way, and people in the distance do not know that there is an open space here, and the open space is full of nail boards.
Moreover, at this time, the Invincible Flying Army and the Wudang Flying Army had already adjusted their formations and began to fire crossbows at the East Vietnamese Army, and the casualties of the East Vietnamese Army were very large.
There were smart East Vietnamese soldiers who wanted to go around, but after the invincible flying army and the Wudang flying army on both sides passed, a lot of nail boards were also placed.
After those Dongyue soldiers passed, they stepped on it again, and then died on the spot under the attack of the crossbow, and they didn't even touch the edge of the Great Xia army.
The East Vietnamese soldiers died tragically on the front line one after another, and after a while, the East Vietnamese general realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered a retreat.
As soon as Chen Mu saw that the other party had retreated, he immediately ordered to chase and kill.
In the moment just now, more than 2,000 East Vietnamese soldiers were killed in the trap. Although the number of nail boards is limited, the terrain here is narrow, and the corpses of East Vietnamese soldiers have become a natural stumbling block.
Therefore, the crossbows of the Great Xia Army have been harvesting lives non-stop, and few East Vietnamese soldiers can rush in front of the Great Xia Army.
Now the Great Xia army has a great numerical advantage.
After chasing all the way, thousands of East Vietnamese soldiers were annihilated.
Neither side understands the language, and there is no need to keep their mouths alive, and judging by their level of faith, even if they understand it, they will not confess.
After the end of this battle, Chen Mu asked the reserve army to clean up the battlefield and bury his own corpse alive, and the opponent's corpse was lifted aside and burned.
After resting for a day, Chen Mu ordered to continue advancing, and this time, there was no further resistance, and the army successfully reached the position designated by Chen Mu.
And here, sure enough, there is a city.
However, to Chen Mu's surprise, this city was actually built in the shape of the Great Xia City.
City towers, city gates, female walls, and so on are all available.
Is there another traitor?
It was not too late to wait until the city was conquered to verify this matter, and Chen Mu first asked the army to set up camp and build siege equipment.
Above the city tower, there was a general who looked like a Great Xia person, looking at the camp of the Great Xia army, and secretly shook his head.
It can be seen from the layout of the barracks that this Great Xia army is well-trained. Moreover, the blocking force sent out earlier has been defeated, and the rest of the city are old and weak soldiers.
This battle is difficult.
Silently, he took out a worn-out bag from his bosom and opened it to take out the silk cloth inside.
Looking at the strategy above, he nodded slowly.
β¦β¦
The Great Xia Army, the Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
Chen Mu is designing something new.
On his desk, there was a pile of weeds, and Chen Mu was trying to figure out how to weave them into a straw curtain and wrap them around the stones used in the trebuchet.
Pour oil on top of it and you're ready to ignite.
When the trebuchet throws out big fireballs, it's spectacular to think about.
With this thing, you can easily suppress the head of the East Vietnamese army, and you don't even have to play the well.
Even if the East Vietnamese Army prepared things like rolling wood and stones, they would not be useful.
After suppressing the city, send out a rushing car to break the city gate, and you can drive straight in.
With the combat effectiveness of the Invincible Flying Army and the Wudang Flying Army, it should be possible to take the city in one fell swoop.
Chen Mu was busy when he suddenly heard a report from a soldier. When I called in and asked, it turned out to be an envoy from Dongyue.
And he can also speak Daxia language!
Looking at the face, he is also a Daxia person!
Chen Mu was stunned, there was really a traitor. So what is he here for?
Chen Mu thought for a moment, "Call him in." In addition, please come over. β
"Yes!"
The soldiers took the order and left, and after a while, Zhang Zhong and others came one after another. After a while, the envoys of Dongyue also arrived.
Chen Mu looked up and saw that this envoy was indeed a native of Great Xia, not only did he look and look very similar, but he also knew the etiquette of Great Xia.
The envoy came in and stretched to the ground, "Li Su, the general of Dongyue, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Xia. β
Chen Mu was stunned, but he didn't expect the other party to be a general. How can anyone send a general to be an envoy?
Shouldn't it be literati like Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and Jiang Gan who have three-inch tongues and long sleeves and are good at dancing?
Chen Mu frowned and said, "Are you from Daxia or Dongyue?" β
Li Su said with a smile: "My father is from Daxia, and he was in distress in the mountains and was rescued by the Dongyue people. Later, she married a Dongyue woman and gave birth to me. Therefore I am the son of two tribes. β
"But since he was born and raised in Dongyue, he calls himself a Dongyue person."
Chen Mu nodded, "It turned out to be a mixed-race child." β
Li Su repeated twice, "Half-race, mixed-race, wonderful!" I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Xia is erudite and knowledgeable, and when I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were true! β
Chen Mu smiled, "Why did you come to our army today?" β
As soon as he asked, the generals and colonels next to him also listened, curious about what this mixed-race boy was going to do.
Li Su sighed and said, "Heyβthis matter is a long story. β
Saying that, Li Su told a story.
After his father came to Dongyue, he learned the local language, and then brought a lot of technology to Dongyue, of course, it was far from Chen Mu's, just some daily utensils.
However, with these contributions, his father also became an official, married a local woman, and gave birth to Li Su.
A few years ago, his father died, and Li Su took over as a local official, and he was in charge of the military.
Li Su has always been in contact with the people of Qingqu County, knows Chen Mu's deeds, and also knows that Chen Mu has recently defeated the grassland tribes, the Southern Barbarian State, and the Persian State.
So he clearly knew that Dongyue could not be spared.
Those tall walls are nothing but self-deception.
But the lord of this city didn't think so, and at the instigation of the Poseidon faction, he chose to block it on the way it must go.
