Chapter 1000: Sharpening the Edge (Part II)

On the way to the Liangzhou Forbidden Army, Qin Yude, who sensed that the situation was not too good, had already sent messengers several times in a row, hoping to contact Zhao Guangxiao in Luoyang and ask him to send troops as backup.

However, whether it was this statement or the messenger sent, they all sank into the sea, and they didn't even wait for the slightest response, so that people didn't know what Luoyang was thinking at all.

Perhaps the only thing that can reassure them is that Kaifeng and other cities are still peaceful to this day, and they have not been attacked from Luoyang because of this, which means that the two sides have not really turned against each other completely.

It's just that this alone is far from enough, today's Southern Dayue Imperial Court, no matter the strength of the troops, is not something that he Qin Yude can defeat with just 100,000 soldiers and horses, and even Liangzhou in front of him is afraid that he will not be able to take it easily.

After exhaling a breath of turbidity, he could only smile bitterly: "Then send someone to write again, and you must convince Zhao Guangxiao that our Pingtian Army is one, and I, Qin Yude, will not have any collusion with the imperial court!" ”

Qin Yuxiang also smiled bitterly and agreed, he would naturally help to do these things well. But now there are more important things to deal with: "Big brother, what should we do in the next war?" Is it proactive? ”

"Yes, we must first re-boost the morale of the army. However, our Chinese army couldn't move, and let Huo Yan and Guan Changzhou lead their troops and horses to fight, thinking that it was a temptation. Qin Yude groaned, "Since the defenders have deliberately gone out of the city to meet the battle, presumably they will no longer blindly defend it, and they will always see the winner with us!"

"And our army is several times their strength, and in a head-to-head confrontation, it naturally has a huge advantage, even if it can't win all, it must win a few times first, and then talk about the future."

"I see, I'll make arrangements." Qin Yuxiang nodded, he didn't have a better strategy for a while, so he naturally agreed with Qin Yude's conventional tactics.

As for the soldiers below, they naturally have no opinion on this. They traveled thousands of miles to Liangzhou, didn't they just want to get another city as soon as possible and make contributions?

Therefore, on the third day after a short rest, the Pingtian Army took the initiative to attack again.

And this time, not only did they bow forward, but they became three soldiers and horses from the left, center and right, and they came out together, pressing directly to the Vietnamese army camp in front.

There were about 7,000 or 8,000 soldiers and horses in each of these three routes, and there were more than 20,000 people in total, which were all comparable to the soldiers and horses in the Vietnamese army camp.

Its momentum is huge, located at the height of the Vietnamese army's camp, and it can be seen at a glance, which makes people sigh again and again: "This time Qin Yude is pouring into the nest, and his military strength is quite amazing." ”

After admiring the other party, Nie Long smiled again: "Pass on my military order, the whole army will close the gate of the village, and they are not allowed to fight without authorization, so let them try their siege methods in front of my military village first!" ”

In the barracks, flags were waved suddenly, people and horses ran, and the order of the chief general was quickly spread.

Then, half of the soldiers and horses of the whole battalion were quickly mobilized, and each of them guarded the important places in the camp, or condescended, or set up bases according to the ditches, anyway, they put on a posture of defending the whole body.

These years of military career have made Nie Long himself have also made a lot of changes and progress.

Although he is still a big man who can't read a few big words, he is no longer as belligerent as he used to be.

Since he had already received a clear order and knew that this was the most accurate strategy against the enemy at the moment, how could he give up the most favorable terrain camp at the moment and go to face the enemy head-on?

And he has been stationed in Liangzhou for many years, and he knows a mountain and a stone, a grass and a tree outside the city.

Coupled with the prestige he has achieved in the army for many years, the whole army at this time is full of energy and high morale, just waiting for the enemy to come up headlong.

Compared with the defenders, who had already been prepared, the situation of the Pingtian Army, as the attacking side, was somewhat subtle and constantly changing.

When they first came out of the camp to kill, they were still violent, but when they came to the enemy camp five miles away, they still saw a calm faction, and after the enemy army was not ready to fight, these soldiers hesitated a little.

These three lines of soldiers and horses marched together, and they were also fully equipped, but they only lacked siege weapons.

Now when they faced the barracks formed by the topography, looking at the layers of antlers that had been set up, and a few ravines that were not too deep, they were really a little vague.

However, the large battalion behind them did not give them time to hesitate, and in a short time, the fierce drums were quickly sounding, urging them to launch an attack on the enemy camp in front.

At this time, even if Huo Yan, Guan Changzhou and other generals hesitated in their hearts, they could only wave their troops to kill quickly, while thinking of breaking through the obstacles in front of them, and on the other hand, they used bows and arrows to attack the defenders in the village, in order to open a passage that went straight to the gate of the village.

Seeing this, Nie Long had nothing to be polite about, and also commanded a counterattack, and when the enemy was dragged with ropes or hit with heavy weapons such as shields, trying to break the antlers of the horse rebuff, he also ordered to shoot the enemy.

At the same time, in front of the battalion, more than 20 stone throwers that had already been prepared were also launched in unison, and countless fist-sized stones flew up and down like hailstones, smashing fiercely at the enemy troops a hundred paces away.

Yes, compared to the Pingtian Army, which was not well equipped and had been cleared by the defenders of Liangzhou for a long time, and could not find a few decent trees for dozens of miles in all directions, the Vietnamese army was extremely well equipped here.

The stone thrower almost never stopped, but threw stones at the enemy in front of them, until the enemy screamed and screamed, and in just a few moments, hundreds of people died and fell in front of the camp.

And the remaining enemy troops, after learning this patchwork defense, quickly faded their fighting spirit, and the queen retreated.

However, this was only an easy way to repel the frontal enemy, and the enemy troops on the left and right still seized a certain opportunity and rushed forward.

Then, in a burst of screams, these people suddenly sank.

It turned out that as early as when the camp was established, Nie Long dug and increased the depth of the two streams that had long dried up according to the situation here, and then planted sharp piles upside down and covered them with floating soil......

As a result, under the rush of the unknown enemy, like a beast in a trap, people kept falling into it, being stabbed in the intestines and rotting in the stomach, and suffering miserable casualties.

As a result, the other soldiers and horses were also frightened into losing their morale, and they could only retreat in a hurry like a frontal army.

In fact, there are only about 200 people trapped in these traps, which is not a break at all. 33

But things on the battlefield are like this, and sometimes a single change can hit the morale of the whole army, thus changing the direction of the entire war......

Some people died, but not completely......
