Because of this small episode, the front team of the Zhou army was not completely wiped out as Zhao Yingqi expected, and between the second and third trenches, there were still nearly 100 cavalry rushing to the third trench, and the 2,000 archers of the Shuo army had all fallen to the ground in a round of shooting, and some arrows with bows and short crossbows fired by the front team of the Zhou army in the end only caused less than 30 casualties to the Shuo army.

Among them, three arrows were fired towards Zhao Yingqi, Zhao Yingqi didn't pay attention to it at all, just stared at the Zhou army squadron laying the planks, and Zhao Tong on his side swept the three arrows with a wave of his spear.

Looking back, I saw that the first wave of fifteen spears fired at the Zhou squadron had been pierced on the ground behind the first trench as Zhao Yingqi had wished, after causing dozens of casualties and a certain amount of confusion.

"Pull back!" Zhao Yingqi shouted at the three hundred soldiers waiting behind the earthen wall.

At the same time, the five bed crossbows were loaded, and the five team leaders in charge of the bed crossbows shouted "Loaded." ”

Zhao Yingqi waved the blue flag left and right again, and this time there was no mistake.

…

But it was said that the rear team of the Zhou army, when the episode just now, Wang Lin and Zhang Han observed the form of the battlefield in front of the rear team, and looked at Zhao Yingqi's reaction on the lookout, and when Zhao Yingqi's blue flag was waved, Wang Lin, who saw that the bed crossbow was finally launched, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, the hole cards surnamed Zhao should all be out, I want to see what else he has..."

Before he finished speaking, three spears and spears shot over, one of them was coming towards Wang Lin's door, and Zhang Han beside him was a master of head armor, so naturally he would not be succeeded by the bed crossbow a mile away, and pushed Wang Lin off the horse.

This one was aimed at Wang Lin, and the other two spear guns were finally exhausted after penetrating the two people.

Wang Lin almost died, causing a lot of commotion in the rear of the Zhou army, and Wang Lin and Zhang Han hurriedly stabilized their subordinates. Wang Lin, who had palpitations, remembered that because of the stalemate in the battle, he had unconsciously driven his horse into the range of the bed crossbow, and was glad that Zhao Yingqi did not use twenty bed crossbows to attack him, and led the rear team of Zhou Jun to retreat back two hundred steps.

It was precisely because of this commotion that Wang Lin and Zhang Han did not notice Zhao Tong's shot on the lookout, that is to say, at present, for Wang Lin, he still doesn't know that Zhao Yingqi still has Zhao Tong's last hole card!

Zhao Yingqi was also very angry because he saw this scene, so he let Zhao Tong make such a heavy hand.

Zhao Yingqi didn't want to kill Wang Lin. Zhao Yingqi has other plans...

…

After Zhao Yingqi gave the order to fire the second shot, he looked at the spear gun fired for the first time in confusion and didn't play much role, and couldn't help but look back curiously at the soldiers pulling the hemp rope behind the earthen wall.

It's okay if you don't look at it, this look is directly to Zhao Yingqi and laughed.

This crossbow is extremely powerful, and the range can reach 400 steps when the string is fully drawn, even if only 40% of the strength of the spear gun still penetrates three or four Zhou soldiers or horses with a grappling hook, and the penetrated Zhou soldiers and horses are strung on hemp rope, and then the grappling hook is caught on the edge of the plank.

With such a large load, there are 300 big injustices behind the earthen wall, and there are actually a group of 20 people, each group pulls a hemp rope, humming and humming with their hands!

There is not even a command, there is no slogan, each pulls its own, it is strange that this can be pulled!

Even at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the hemp rope was not straightened!

Zhao Yingqi who was angry and laughing.

Smile!

Looking at the three hundred soldiers behind, the captain who had already commanded two thousand archers to eliminate the two thousand cavalry in the front team had just commanded the archers to transfer the target to the Zhou army squadron, and once saw Zhao Yingqi's cold eyes hidden behind his smile, he hurriedly shuddered, and hurriedly urged the archers to release their arrows, and the archers were also very afraid, and even the frequency of firing bows and arrows seemed to be faster.

That is, between one breath, less than two breaths at most, and the captain can guarantee it with his life.

"Do you all have bags in your brains! Lao Tzu asked you three hundred old men to pull the hemp rope there, not for you to thread the needle! One by one, just like the! Zhao Yingqi's green tendons bulged again. Zhao Tong also turned his head to look at the three hundred soldiers who were pulling hemp ropes, as if they were looking for the most unpleasant target.

"A few days ago, more than 100 horses pulling the cart were next to it, did Lao Tzu let you lead them over to walk the horses? Hurry up and pull the rope for Lao Tzu! ”

Zhao Yingqi was really angry by these big soldiers of Shuo Kingdom, and his internal strength was running under the excitement, his face was ruddy, and the sweat on his body was dried by the internal force of Zhigang Zhiyang, and turned into bursts of white mist in the cold wind, looking like a demon god from a distance.

Zhang Han in the Zhou army looked at Zhao Yingqi from a distance, and understood that this young man had almost touched the threshold of the head armor, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

After Wang Lin stabilized for a while, he saw that the 2,000 men in the front team had been wiped out, and the squadron had just completed laying the planks of the first trench.

Zhao Yingqi fired another round of bed crossbows, and at this time forty-five spears were nailed to the ground behind the first trench.

Captain Ding, who led the squadron, was already fighting with the Shuo army for the third time, and at this time, looking at the pile of hemp rope tied to the spear gun, he couldn't figure out what the Shuo army wanted to do, but he just pressed his position, raised his shield to resist the arrows of the Shuo army, and covered the Zhou army behind to lay planks, and at this time he was already advancing towards the second trench.

The laying of the covering planks led to the fact that the speed of the march was not fast enough, and at this time the squadron had already suffered more than 500 casualties due to the damage of bed crossbows and bows and arrows, and the casualties were not as serious as those of the front team, because the horses of the squadron were not fast, and there were almost no cases of horses stumbling in front of them.

Up to now, no one in the Zhou army knows why the front team suffered so heavy losses, and no one knows the arrangement of the tunnels on the ground. The shallow pit was inconspicuous, and no one noticed it under the influence of mud, snow, corpses, blood, arrows, and the tension of the battlefield.

Finally, when the fourth wave of bed crossbows was about to be loaded, the three hundred great injustices finally brought all the horses over, loaded the yokes, and the two horses pulled a rope, and began to drive the horses to drag the rope.

As the rope was dragged, the forty-five hemp ropes on the battlefield gradually straightened, and the soldiers and horses of the Zhou army strung on the hemp ropes were not dead, and they let out bursts of screams and neighing, which was very sad.

The grappling hook slowly hooked onto the plank, and began to drag the plank out of the trench towards the earthen wall of the Shuo army.

"You don't have to drag all the planks back! Half of it is dragged back, and half of it is only thirty steps away from the trench that it will cut the rope and continue to drag the other ropes! Zhao Yingqi shouted loudly.

More than 100 Shuo soldiers quickly cut the hemp rope tied to the yoke, drove the horse back to the earthen wall, and continued to tie the rope to the yoke.

Captain Ding of the Zhou Army Squadron saw that the planks laid behind him were dragged away from the trench by hemp ropes, and immediately ordered the Zhou soldiers who laid the planks behind him to cut the ropes.

Unfortunately, the fourth wave of spears arrived, bringing up another wave of blood mist and soldiers nailed to the ground behind.

When Captain Ding was thinking about countermeasures, a gong sounded from the rear of the Zhou army in the rear, which was a signal to retreat first. Quickly command his subordinates, throw down the plank, get on the horse and retreat first.

Zhao Yingqi also heard the signal of the Zhou army, although he didn't know its meaning, but when he saw the actions of the Zhou army's squadron, he knew that Wang Lin of the Zhou army had understood that his plank plan had been broken by himself.

Hurriedly ordered the 300 soldiers who were pulling the ropes behind them to drag the planks away from the trench as soon as possible and then go up to the earthen wall to prepare for defense, and at the same time stopped the archers firing, and asked all the archers to withdraw behind the earthen wall and carry arrows to replenish as soon as possible.

At the same time, the pikemen behind the earthen wall were mobilized onto the earthen wall, and a thousand cavalry that had not been used were ordered to mount and prepare for battle.

On the southernmost side of the second earthen wall, a slope had already been paved up to the earthen wall.

Originally, there were wooden planks on the slope, and a hundred soldiers were on standby, as long as Zhao Yingqi gave an order, the planks were immediately laid to facilitate the cavalry charge. But it doesn't matter now, because Zhou Jun also sent a lot of planks.

Zhao Yingqi ordered to remove the grappling hooks and hemp ropes from the five bed crossbow spear guns, and re-divide the twenty bed crossbow guns, each in a group of ten, under the orders of the Red Flag and the Blue Flag respectively.

In fact, in the current situation, Zhao Yingqi also felt that the Zhou army was about to come to the last wave of charge, in fact, to this point, it was easier for Zhao Yingqi, the commander, to convey orders and commands on the earthen wall, but Zhao Yingqi still insisted on having his own ideas on the lookout.

The Zhou army currently has nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses left, and it is ready to carry out a general attack under the command of Wang Lin. It's not that Wang Lin is unwilling to give full play to the cavalry advantage from the beginning to charge to the death, but things on the battlefield always make the boss decide to finish the battle only in two situations, that is, to win and corner!

Previously, it was impossible for Wang Lin's 10,000 troops to recklessly enter the position of the Shuo army in the foggy situation, let alone carry out a general attack without any understanding of the Shuo army's rear hand. Especially in the narrow terrain of the Chunuchi Road, 10,000 cavalry could not spread it at all.

Now Wang Lin decided to attack the general attack not because he already knew everything about the hole cards of the Shuo army, but because the means that Wang Lin could use to test had been exhausted, and Wang Lin's military order was that the cavalry of Jiaxian, the military camp and Qiaotou Town would all converge to Qiaotou Town at noon. However, the cavalry of Jiaxian County all returned, and the Zhou army in Qiaotou Town suffered more than half of the casualties due to the impact of the Shuo army's troops, and the five hundred cavalry in the barracks did not arrive.

Wang Lin knew that he had been deceived again, and was deceived by the heralds deliberately released by Zhao Yingqi, and the reinforcements of Shuo Kingdom are coming today, not tomorrow! The military camp has obviously been breached by the Shuo army, and there is no way out for him to retreat.

It is said that the news that Zhao Yingqi sent heralds to Qiaotou Town before was fake, or it was not completely false, but it just delayed the arrival of reinforcements by one day, and the other information was true.

If Wang Lin knew that Shuo's reinforcements would arrive today, then he would not abandon the military camp if he was killed, but would only stick to the barracks and wait for Zhou reinforcements, and then contain the Shuo army.
