Chapter 413: Shocking Changes in the Capital (3)
When staying in Beijing to prepare for the war, the second prince personally took a class and instilled in the most elite scouts how to use finger ranging and height measurement methods to apply to this battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Among them, he also requisitioned several students from the snow candy shop in the capital in Houlong Village, and asked them to help him in money and grain accounting, and whenever he was free, he learned from them some military knowledge taught by Mr. Houlong in Yixue. When I heard the highlights, I was so excited that I slapped my thighs, hating myself for not being able to cast under the door of science.
The second prince patted the map and said to the generals in the account: "Although the Hu cavalry claims to be one million, in fact, it is only more than 400,000, of which 100,000 big tent soldiers are led by the prince of Gouhan, and they are still outside the Great Wall. With the ability of the Hu people to attack the city, 80,000 people can't even break through a small county town, no wonder they attack all the way, they avoid the strong city without fighting, only know that they are rushing to attack the capital, and they actually want to conquer the capital in one fell swoop, hum, it's really a pipe dream!"
An old general said: "Second prince, the reason why Hu Qi was able to attack in a big winter this time is because their evil god Immortal Heaven went against the sky and gave birth to a hundred grasses in the heavy snow, which is a violation of the rules of mortal conquest -- the mortal war cannot be directly intervened by cultivators! But I don't know if the immortal heaven of Na Laoshizi will cast spells again to help the invading Hu Dog? If this is the case, then we don't need to fight this battle, just admit defeat." ”
The second prince shook his head: "That immortal heaven and harsh winter give birth to a hundred grasses, it must take a lot of spiritual power, in a short period of time, it should be powerless to interfere in the war, not to mention, the gods on the grassland have come to my middle earth, and the spell casting will be greatly affected, and the power will be doubled and half the result." You also know that this time the third brother returned to Beijing, the seven fairies of Kunlun Mountain were by his side, if the immortal heaven broke the rules again, our cultivators of the Great Li Dynasty were not vegetarians, and they had to be colored. ”
When the veteran heard this, he said excitedly: "In this way, then we don't have to be afraid of these Hu Dogs! General Wang, our Beijing camp has now all been replaced with stainless steel helmets and weapons, and its combat power has doubled, so simply divide the troops from the road and intercept the Hu Cavalry separately, as long as they are entangled with the Hu Cavalry, wait for the army of the Qin King of the Quartet to surround them, and see where the Hu Dog runs!"
The third prince shook his head: "I read Mr. Houlong's military book, he has a sentence that is very good, it is better to cut off one of the enemy's ten fingers, and Yun, let you come several ways, I will only go all the way! Even if we defeat the four Hu cavalry that have broken through the Great Wall, those routs will flee as soon as they pat their horses' buttocks, return to the gate to assemble again, and make a comeback, which will make us overwhelmed. And our army is exhausted, once it is caught by the dog and chased for dozens of miles, it will really be a defeat, and if it is not good, even the capital will be lost. ”
The veteran shook his head and said: "If you hurt the enemy's ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of his fingers -- this is a good saying, our Beijing camp of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, surround one of the Hu cavalry regiments, attack with all their might, destroy him in one go, and make sure that his horses are not allowed to leave the pass! The other Hu cavalry will be frightened when they hear the news, and they will no longer dare to cross our territory like before, and Gaine will be weak in the division of troops, and it will be easy to be eaten by us, but if the Hu cavalry army gathers in one place, it will become a great problem for this person to eat and chew his horses. Now it is winter, there is only snow in the farmland of my dynasty, and I can't even find a single straw, so I have to starve Hu Qi to death!" -- Hu Qi invaded the Great Li Dynasty, and always did not bring grain and grass, but ate on the spot, anyway, the Great Li Dynasty was rich, and he casually laid down one or two county towns, and even large households, which were enough for the Hu people to eat for a while
The third prince immediately made up his mind, pointed to a corner on the map, and said: "I heard that this Hu cavalry is a close confidant of the king of the Hu people, and after committing a crime against our realm, it is extremely rampant, and the village where he passes has become a white land, and the Hu dog even shouts out violent words such as killing and robbing all the three lights, and even dissecting the baby in the mother's womb for fun! Such beasts must not be allowed in the world! The army obeys my orders!"
The three princes ordered one after another, brought their own army, went out to meet the enemy, and took advantage of the psychology of Hu Cai's contempt for the infantry army of the Great Li Dynasty to attract the beast army, and then the rest of the armies, after seizing the surrounding highland arteries, surrounded it and wiped out all this Hu cavalry in one go!
With the issuance of the military order, the military camp was busy like a beehive, and the soldiers scrubbed their armor and sharpened their swords, preparing for a decisive battle. All the generals and soldiers had the idea of victory, and the stainless steel armor and weapons gave them great faith that the army of the Great Li Dynasty had never been so strong, and it would definitely make Hu Gou come and go!
The second prince was dressed in golden armor and led 50,000 soldiers to stride in the snowy field, and he did not do any tricks to deceive the enemy at all on this march, just to let Hu Qi see that the number of troops was far less than them, and he felt that there was a bargain to pick up, so he took the initiative to come to the door to attack. Otherwise, his infantry army only has two legs, and Hu Qi has four legs, so he can't catch up no matter how he chases. It is the right thing to lure them to attack.
And with the arrogance and arrogance of Hu Cai, when he saw an army of the Great Li Dynasty with fewer people than them, he would definitely not be able to help but take the initiative to attack when he was rushing alone.
Suddenly, a fast horse rushed over, and the rider on the horseback had several arrows hanging on his leather armor, and rushed straight to the horse of the second prince, and shouted in a dumb voice: "There is a Hu cavalry in the three miles ahead!" and fell headlong in the snow, but he lost too much blood from several arrows in his body and died.
The second prince ordered sharply: "The whole army is dressed in armor and surrounded by cars!" -- Hu Qi was so powerful that he sent his best scout fast horse to patrol and guard, but he was still forced by Hu Cai to get close to find out, and the price was that the scout horse was almost wiped out, and only one person escaped.
If it weren't for the last scout to send the letter, the army in the middle of the march would suddenly be attacked by Hu Cai, who were more numerous than themselves, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
The soldiers immediately lined up in the snowfield, took out the whole body steel armor in the cart, and helped each other put it on, this whole body armor was too heavy, and it could only be placed on the cart when marching, if you marched with this thing, even if you were a natural strong man, you can't go a few miles.
The generals of the Beijing camp were also well-trained, and soon formed a circle of carts on the periphery, with armored warriors standing on the inner side of the chariot wall, and crossbowmen and archers without armor in the inner circle.
Suddenly, there was a strange cry in the snowy field, and countless black dots emerged from the horizon.
The third prince stood at the forefront wearing golden armor, and put down his mask with a bang, "Crossbowmen prepare!"
The crossbowmen stretched out their bows and arrows, but they did not visually measure the distance and direction of Hu Cai, but on several building cars, several scientific men from the snow candy shop were nervously observing Hu Cai's distance and direction, measuring the wind direction and angle, and after some rapid calculations, reporting the parabola angle of the shot - this is using the same shooting calculation principle as the stone thrower.
Hu cavalry gathered and scattered on the flat snowy field, drifting and uncertain, rushing straight towards the solemn military formation of Li Chao, and was about to collide, when he suddenly roared, split into two, and flashed away on both sides of the military formation, and at the same time, a dense array of feathered arrows like flying locusts shot straight over - this is exactly what Hu cavalry is best at!
There was a dense clang, and the armored warriors standing upright behind the wall of the car snorted, and the feathered arrows were shot at them, some bounced off, and some pierced into the stainless steel armor!
The second prince's face changed greatly, the strength of the stainless steel armor he had tried to shoot arrows with his own hands, ordinary iron arrows could not be shot through at all, let alone the beast bone arrows and stone arrows used by the grassland Hu Cavalry - he suddenly raised his hand, grabbed an arrow that was shooting towards him, only glanced at it, and then became furious: "Stainless steel arrows! It is actually a stainless steel arrow! Those damn profiteers, they actually sold the stainless steel produced in Houlong Village to the grassland for money!"
Da Wu Zhu has long been planning the war of annihilation of the Great Li Dynasty, so he secretly bought profiteers and purchased a large amount of steel from the Great Li Dynasty - some of the steel is still from the workshop of Houlong Village, and the quality is better than that of the Li Dynasty's households.
After Hu Qi broke through the Great Wall, the first important thing in the folk robbery was the stainless steel farm tools in the hands of the farmers, so that the steel farm tools that Guo Dalu kindly bought and half gave to the farmers fell into the hands of the Hu people and were cast into arrows and swords.
The second prince originally thought that with the world's unparalleled steel armor, he could easily block Hu Cai's shooting, and as long as the first column of heavy armor warriors defended the defensive line, he would be invincible, but he didn't expect that Hu Ren was not stupid, and he had already obtained stainless steel through various methods and created some stainless steel arrows and weapons.
As soon as Jingying and Hu Caifu fought, casualties immediately appeared! For a while, in the first column of heavy armored soldiers, there were screams one after another!
The second prince gritted his teeth and roared, "Archery"!
The crossbowman in the center of the car array did not send arrows, only heard a knock knock sound, the wall panels on the outside of the cart overturned one after another, revealing the shooting hole, a sharp arrow poked out of the head, the crossbowman inside slightly aimed, the index finger buckled, and the crossbow arrow **** out - this crossbowman hiding in the cart was originally the second prince's trump card, only waiting for Hu Qi to shoot several times, the strength was not good and could not shoot far away, and he could only get close to the car array, only suddenly, killing and injuring Hu Cai.
But now the second prince has to make a move in advance, or quickly break the formation of Hu Cai, a few rounds of arrows rain down, no matter how brave the soldiers of the Beijing camp are, they can't fight back just by being beaten, and they will collapse.
The crossbow arrows suddenly shot out in the cart really caught Hu Qi off guard, the arrows are all barbed and sawtooth, as soon as they are shot into the body, people will cut muscles and blood vessels as soon as they move, and the end is extremely vicious, and only the machine tools produced in Houlong Village can batch process such complex arrows, Hu people screamed and fell from the horseback.
Hu Qi was attacked by this, and retreated in a burst of whistles.
The second prince looked at Hu Qi who was gradually retreating like a tide in the snow field, and did not breathe a sigh of relief, he knew that Hu Qi was not defeated, but was just ready to regroup, and after finding a way to restrain the crossbowmen in the cart, he would soon attack again - this Hu Qi is like a wolf on the grassland, extremely cunning, in the face of prey, he will never give up easily, and he will not stop if he does not tear you to blood!
The second prince roared sharply: "Crossbowman with crossbow, ambulance soldiers rescue the wounded!"
The crossbowmen in the cart came out one after another to wind the crossbow arrows in their hands, but it turned out that the inside of the cart was really narrow, and it could only accommodate the soldiers to lie half-lying, and after shooting an arrow, if they wanted to rewind it, they could only drill out of the cart, and at this time, it was the time when the crossbowmen were the weakest and most vulnerable.
At the same time, a group of ambulances wearing white hats ran out from behind the array, took off the armor of the armor of the armor who had been hit by the arrow, and treated the wounds with alcohol, notoginseng powder, and bandages.
After carefully inspecting a group of wounded soldiers, the ambulance soldiers of the team reported to the second prince: "General, most of the injured are lightly injured, and there are not many fatal. ”
The second prince himself saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded: "This stainless steel armor is still somewhat useful, blocking Hu Qi's sharp arrows, otherwise, the casualties will be even worse! You must treat the injured brothers well, especially pay attention to the later infection! If the brothers did not die on the battlefield, but died in the camp due to infection, I will cut off your head and sacrifice to the brothers!"
The leader of the ambulance soldiers hurriedly said: "General Wang, don't worry, we have memorized the ambulance manual written by Mr. Houlong, the equipment and materials used are all boiled in boiling water and soaked in alcohol, the ground in the medical camp is all sprinkled with lime, and the water for drinking is also boiled. Nowadays, the weather is cold, and the bacteria are not easy to spread, so there should be no large-scale postoperative infections. ”
At this moment, the soldiers on the building car shouted: "Hu Gou is coming up again!"
The second prince roared: "The whole team!"
After a short rest, Hu Cai surrounded him again, but this time, Hu Cai, who came and went like the wind, actually walked slowly, and the second prince was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, this leader who led Hu Cai was not stupid? Gave up his advantage of being fast and far away from his horse, and wanted to fight with me in a positional battle? It came just in time! When the time comes, see my arrow rain shoot you all like hedgehogs!
Hu Cai surrounded the chariot array of the Great Li Dynasty, but it was far away, and the crossbow arrows barely shot past, and they were crooked by the wind, and the second prince ordered his soldiers not to shoot arrows indiscriminately.
Suddenly, the first few rows of Hu Qi flashed away, and there was a creaking sound, pushing out behemoths one by one, and the second prince saw it at a glance and shouted: "Hu Gou actually has this thing!
What was pushed out of the Hu Qi was nothing else, it was a stone thrower!
But it turned out that Da Wu Zhu had already taught the stone thrower to the Hu army, specially used to overcome difficulties, the stone throwing machine production principle is not complicated, there are also clever craftsmen on the grassland, usually Hu cavalry fast march naturally do not bring this heavy thing, once the war needs, you can directly use local materials to build - the Great Li Dynasty is rich in specialties, some are big trees and boulders, and even can demolish the people's houses, use beams and pillars to make stone throwers, and use bricks and tiles to make projectiles, which is much more convenient than making stone throwers on the grassland.
Previously, after Hu rode over the Great Wall, in order to march quickly, he went straight to the capital of the Great Li Dynasty, all of which went around the city, and did not use a stone thrower, so the second prince did not know that Hu Ren had such a powerful weapon in his hand, and he was naturally shocked when he saw it at this time.
This stone thrower can even conquer the city, not to mention its own small car formation.
At this time, there was a burst of orders from the Hu cavalry array, and with the loud sound of the trumpet, one end of the stone thrower was torn down heavily, the cantilever vibrate, and the masonry at the other end was thrown high into the air and smashed towards the car formation.
Falling rocks rain.
The wooden siding of the cart can also block the arrows, and if it can block the masonry falling from the sky? Suddenly, the siding of the cart was smashed and cracked, and the crossbowmen inside were either killed or injured.
The second prince gritted his teeth and shouted, "Pull out our stone thrower!" There was a commotion in the center of the army formation of the Great Li Dynasty, and a stone thrower was launched.
But it turned out that this stone-throwing technology had long been passed on to Zhu Shilang from Houlong Village, and he carefully built many stone-throwing tools, dismantled them into parts, and let the second prince load them on a cart and move with the army, and as soon as there was a war, they could be quickly assembled.
Originally, the second prince hid the stone thrower, wanting to wait for Hu Cai's repeated charges to be blocked by the car array and heavy armor soldiers, and then lose his sharpness, and then push out the stone thrower, which was like rain of stones, and broke the enemy in one fell swoop. I didn't expect that Hugou on the grassland actually had a stone thrower, and I don't know who leaked such an important military weapon, forcing the second prince to take out the stone thrower in advance, because only the stone thrower can suppress the stone thrower.
The stone thrower of the second prince is much more delicate than that of the Hu people, the key components are made of stainless steel, the counterweight launch, and the snow sugar shop guy helps calculate the trajectory, the stone thrower begins to fire a salvo after two rounds of test firing calibration, and the projectile of the same size fired from clay roars through the air and accurately smashes on the stone thrower of Hu Qi.
The Hu people's stone throwers also shifted their attack targets, gave up the car formation, and instead attacked the Li Dynasty stone throwers in the center of the array, but the Hu people's stone throwers could not reach far, and the accuracy was poor, and the masonry was only smashed in the archer array, and only a few pieces of masonry remained, which did not cause obvious harm to the stone throwers in the second prince's array.
After several rounds of stone throwers, the Hu people's stone throwers were destroyed, and even a few of them disintegrated on their own because of overuse, the parts were worn out, and the craftsmen who operated the stone throwers were smashed to the ground, and they were killed on the spot.
There was a cheer in the army of the second prince, but the second prince's face was solemn, because the stone thrower of the Hu people was really beyond his expectations, most of the cart was destroyed, and it was no longer an array, and the crossbowmen hidden in it were killed and wounded, so that the car array was destroyed, and it was difficult to block the next round of attacks of the Hu people.
