Chapter 720: Sound Strikes West
"Here," I pointed to the south gate of the city, "the 100,000 reinforcements of the rebels have not yet arrived, and now the only thing that can pose a threat to us is the army of Long Ji, which is stationed in the north and inside the city at the moment, and when we move, as long as we try to block the south gate, the cavalry of the rebels will not be able to go out of the city to pursue us."
"How?" Dongfang asked in silence.
"Then you don't have to worry, such a small city gate, if we can't block it, we won't risk such a big battle, how about giving you half an hour?"
"Half an hour?" Dongfang Lonely said in surprise, "Time is too tight, can you be ready?"
"We all have the tools at hand, it's up to you to unclog the outlet."
"I'll try my best!"
"Not as much as we can, my princess," I said with a wry smile, "if we rush down and your drain is not opened, we'll be turtles in an urn!"
Dongfang Lonely thought for a while, bit his lip and said, "Okay! Then I'll let it go, don't make excuses, don't tell the people, just dredge it up! If the rebels ask, I will say that this is a livelihood project to prevent waterlogging in the spring!"
I give a thumbs up, I can make it up better than I can!
There was no way to drag it any further, until the rebel reinforcements came over, and found that Han Li had died for no apparent reason, and the rebels had to take the flag of the Little Yama Sacrifice!
After arranging the affairs in the city, I returned to the top of the cliff the same way, but I did not announce the plan, and I am not in a hurry now, I just keep an eye on the movements of the rebels and look for opportunities at any time.
Yama and the commanders probably thought I had nothing to do, so they didn't ask me anything more.
About ten minutes later, I found that the rebels under the mountain began to mobilize, pulled out about 350,000 horses, entered the north gate, and went out from the south gate, rushing to the direction of Daxingzhai, it should be the news that the granary is on fire, has reached this side, and Long He sent troops to extinguish the fire.
It's a pity that they did not draw the camp from the west, but from the east side.
It would be nice if it was drawn from the west side, and it would have relieved us a lot of pressure.
But I thought about it again, why not take advantage of their movement to make a noise!
I approached the little king of Hades and asked to bring a group of men and horses to take the initiative to storm the rebel camp.
「…… Sent to death?" Little Yama frowned.
"Believe me, I won't die, if I can't fight, we'll come back." I say.
"How many people do you want?"
"Two hundred will do."
Little Hades took off the gold token from his waist and threw it to me, "Whatever you want."
Mainly, she was cold and hungry, and she was already a little emotional - which showed that the rebels' tactics had worked, and what they wanted was to trap the elite team and win it without a fight.
I returned to the top of the cliff from the small platform, found a camp owner, and asked him to help me select two hundred elite soldiers, the camp owner said that there was no need to choose, and all the Xuanjia soldiers were elite soldiers.
"Then choose two hundred men from your camp and rush down the mountain with me." I say.
"Huh? Rush down the hill...... What to do?"
"Naturally, it is to open a bloody path for His Highness!" I said fiercely.
The camp owner was helpless, but when he saw the token in my hand, he didn't dare to say a word, and ordered two hundred people to line up within the ice wall.
But I can't really let these two hundred brothers die in vain.
Now there is a problem, whether it is a rebel or a Xuanjia soldier, they are wearing cowhide boots, and the bottom is a little slippery on the ice, so it is quite inconvenient to fight, but you can't take off your boots.
I pondered for a while, anyway, the war horses were useless, so I asked them to pick four hundred horseshoes from the feet of the war horses, turn them over, use a cloth rope to penetrate the holes of the horseshoe, and then tie them to the sole, the front of the horseshoe is smooth, but the back, there are spit out iron nails, which are fixed by the horns they nail into the horse's hooves, I tried it, the effect of stepping on the ice, although it is not as good as the professional crampons, but it will not slip.
When they were all ready, I asked the other soldiers to give the 200 warriors some shields, and their cavalry used small shields, which could not protect the whole body, so they became two shields for each person, one hand held and the other tied behind a leather drum, like a cushion.
Two shields, a sword, no bows and arrows, crossbows, spears, and the like.
