Chapter 154: Victory in the First Battle

"Cavalry, of course!"

Zhao Qiankun answered directly without thinking about it, and then explained.

"The cavalry is fast, and once the cavalry is allowed to charge into the army, a cavalryman will kill at least three to five infantrymen."

"So, these vines are used to trip the horse's legs."

Zhang Xiaochi replied calmly.

He also considered digging a trench and decorating it to limit the opposing cavalry, but time was running out, and it was easy to be triggered, and the tripping trap made of vines was different, before use, it was completely attached to the ground, even if someone passed by, it would not be in the way.

If you want to use it, the soldiers hiding on both sides of the vine only need to use a special device to pull up the vine, and it can have a surprise effect.

Of course, this trap has high requirements for the device, after all, the inertia and strength of the horse are very large when they are moving forward, and it is simply not feasible to trip the horse running by relying on human strength.

Zhang Xiaocheng asked Captain Qian to lead the Black Sword Team to weave the vines, while he took local materials and began to make the device.

After about an hour of such busyness, and at this point it was also cold, and a group of people finally finished all the assembly.

"Let's go, let's go back first."

After arranging the trap, everyone was tired, considering that the war would start at any time, Zhang Xiaochi decisively took everyone back to the camp to recuperate.

Of course, not everyone followed back, and Zhang Xiaochi left two people to watch every trap.

Before Zhang Xiaochi rested, he went to Zhao Hongde once, warned him about the place where the trap was arranged, and only after he was clear did he return to Zhao Qiankun's camp to rest.

However, this sleep did not last long, and was woken up by the movement outside the tent.

"What's going on?"

The two walked out of the tent, and Zhao Qiankun yawned while holding a person casually and asked.

"Major General, according to the report from the spies, the army of the Jin Kingdom is heading in the direction of our army."

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Qiankun didn't even yawn, the sleepiness on his face disappeared instantly, he let go of his hand, and hurriedly said.

"Xiaochi, hurry up and inform the Black Sword Squad!"

"Okay."

Time waits for no one, the fighters on the battlefield are fleeting, Zhang Xiaochi found Captain Qian in the fastest time, but the black sword team at this time was ready to go.

"Captain Qian, follow me."

"Yes."

Before leaving the barracks, everyone happened to meet Zhao Hongde at the gate of the camp, as well as a group of children from the family, and even Ye Zhiqiu, who was seriously injured, and others gathered together.

"General, let's go first."

Zhang Xiaochi clenched his fists and arched his hands, Zhao Hongde knew the reason, nodded and asked him to leave with the Black Sword Team first.

Coming to the place where the trap was set as fast as possible, Zhang Xiaochi instructed Captain Qian to send someone to inform the soldiers who stayed by the trap to hide and tell them that the Jin army would arrive soon.

When everything was ready, and after about fifteen minutes or so, the two armies finally came into view.

The army of the Zhao family of the Great Yue Kingdom and the army of the Jin State looked at each other from a distance, and under the order of Zhao Hongde, one came to the vicinity of the trap and shouted at the other party.

"Listen to the people of the Jin country, I love peace in the country of Da Yue, as long as you withdraw from the army, we can not blame the past mistakes!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of arrows suddenly flew in the sky.

Looking at the dense rain of arrows, the person who shouted quickly turned the horse's head and tried to flee for his life, but he didn't run far, and even the people and horses were set up as hedgehogs.

"The two armies are fighting without slashing, these unruly brutes!"

Secretly, Zhao Qiankun scolded angrily, the soldier who shouted just now was Zhao Hongde's cronies, and he had a very good relationship with him, but now he was watching him sacrifice so aggrieved.

Zhao Hongde was also angry, the other party didn't even follow the most basic rules, even if it was a situation of not dying, he knew that he couldn't kill the messenger.

A messenger who passed the word died like this, and Zhao Jiajun was in high spirits, staring into the distance with fierce eyes.

"Kill!"

About a minute or so later, a deafening roar came from the direction of the Jin Kingdom, and for a while, the horses roared to the sky, and the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom took the lead, galloping with a murderous aura.

"Kill!"

The Jin infantry roared, followed closely behind, and rushed to kill with an indomitable momentum.

"Kill!"

Not to be outdone, Zhao Hongde waved his hand and personally led the cavalry to act as the vanguard, but he secretly deliberately controlled the speed, so as to avoid being injured by mistake.

"Xiaochi, they're getting closer!"

"When are we going to do it?"

Zhao Qiankun asked nervously.

"Put a small group of cavalry over, and you can use the tripwire."

Zhang Xiaochi replied.

Hearing this, a strange smile flashed on Zhao Qiankun's face.

"This small part is sent to death, the tripping horse blocks the second half so that they can't support, and then we can activate the arrow formation."

"Yes."

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and while the two were talking, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom was only less than a hundred meters away from the trap.

"Everyone get ready, I shout start, and you start the trap in turn."

Zhang Xiaochi wound the crossbow.

And at this moment, the cavalry, which was getting closer and closer, approached with the deafening sound of horses' hooves, and soon, a part of the cavalry easily crossed the trap.

"Xiaochi, is it okay?"

Zhao Qiankun reminded nervously.

Zhang Xiaochi did not give an order, and when a part of the cavalry passed, he directly gave the order to attack.

"Pull!"

Bang bang bang!

The tripping rope hidden in the horse suddenly bounced up, and the cavalry running at great speed couldn't react at all.

At the same time, the rear tripping horses also appeared one after another, and the sudden change directly made all the rear cavalry scrapped.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Zhang Xiaochi's order, the arrows on both sides flew out with a whizz, and the cavalry and war horses who fell to the ground and were injured turned into hedgehogs in an instant.

"Well played!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Qiankun stood up and roared angrily.

On the other side, the cavalry who were lucky enough to cross the past had already fought with the cavalry of the Zhao family army at this time, but they were outnumbered and were quickly wiped out.

"Beautiful!"

After discovering the situation on Zhao Hongde's side, Zhao Qiankun's face was flushed with excitement.

"Brother Zhao, something is wrong."

Zhang Xiaochi didn't have a smile on his face, he looked at the direction of the Jin army with a solemn face, and his whole face became more and more ugly.

Following Zhang Xiaochi's gaze, Zhao Qiankun's face instantly became ugly.

"How is their number different from that in the intelligence!?"

Zhao Qiankun's eyes were full of nervousness, and then he turned around and ran towards Zhao Hongde, shouting to retreat as he ran.

"Evacuate!"

Zhang Xiaochi also turned around and ran, not because he was cowardly, but because there were many opponents, and with their numbers, they couldn't shake the opponent at all.

In the rear, the mighty Jin army approached at a rapid pace, and when he looked back, he couldn't see the end at all, which was not at all compatible with the twenty or thirty thousand people in the intelligence, and there were at least fifty thousand people in this number.

At this time, the Zhao family army only had about 10,000 left, and such a huge gap was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
