Chapter 407 Sharpening the Knife

"Knife sharpening?"
After hearing these two words, Li Dingguo became quite excited.
Now, for this newly formed cavalry team, isn’t all they need to do is sharpen their swords?
How can a knife become sharp if it is not sharpened?
"Yes, that's what your Excellency said!" The herald who reported the news also said to Li Dingguo with a smile.
"Ting Hui, our chance has come!" Li Dingguo has almost recovered from his injuries. After hearing that there was a battle, he was inexplicably excited.
Huang Tinghui also smiled when he saw Li Dingguo's extremely excited expression.
He has never had a head-to-head confrontation with those barbarians, so now this is also a good opportunity.
"Dingguo!"
"I've prepared some good stuff!"
"When I go to the battlefield, I will let you know how powerful these things are!"
Huang Tinghui gave up, even though he had enough cavalry to match the barbarian soldiers.
He was not prepared to fight these barbarian soldiers to the end.
The so-called war is never tired of deceit, this is the truth.
Needless to say, the friendship between Li Dingguo and Huang Tinghui goes without saying, although Li Dingguo prides himself on being able to surpass Huang Tinghui in terms of force.
But he didn't think his talent in marching and fighting could match Huang Tinghui's.
After all, Li Dingguo also learned many tactics and tactics from Huang Tinghui.
After agreeing on the marching route, Li Dingguo and Huang Tinghui led more than two thousand cavalry to a position east of Datong.
According to intelligence reports, part of the Hulu cavalry has penetrated to the east of Datong Town.
After leaving the military camp near Datong Town, the weather suddenly changed.
Dense black clouds covered the sky and the earth, and rainwater poured from the sky toward the ground like water from a floodgate.
The soldiers wearing armor only felt a chill coming over them.
It is close to the Liuhe River near Datong Town, Chenghe River, and Qingjian River.
The trail chosen by Huang Tinghui and Li Dingguo was somewhat muddy after being washed away by the rain.
This sudden rain had a great impact on the march.
Even people who live in harsh conditions all year round may find it a little unbearable.
At this time, the cavalry marched across the vast wilderness in the order of left wing, right wing, left guard, right guard, and center.
In order to better understand the dynamic situation of the entire battlefield.
The scouts sent out were scattered across this vast wilderness with the purpose of obtaining information about the enemy as soon as possible.
I don’t know how long they have been marching, but near a forest, the scouts galloped towards Huang Tinghui and Li Dingguo on horseback.
"General!"
"There is an enemy situation!" the scout said to Li Dingguo.
"How many people?" Li Dingguo frowned, looked at the scout and asked.
"I didn't dare to observe for too long, but judging from the situation, there should be more than 200 people!"
"This group of barbarian soldiers is running rampant in the wilderness, somewhat unscrupulously!"
Hearing what the scout said, Li Dingguo clenched his fists tightly.
From the information from the herald, Li Dingguo already knew that the barbarians had conquered several counties in the Central Plains dynasty as they marched south.
Therefore, these barbarians were able to infiltrate their troops into places not far from Datong Town.
However, their posture seemed a bit too arrogant.
He actually ran rampant in the enemy's hinterland.
Isn't this just a naked slap in the face of soldiers like them?
"A plan to lure the enemy!"
"Those big guys should also come in handy!" Huang Tinghui reminded Li Dingguo in time.
Although with the troops in Li Dingguo's hands, it would not be a big problem to eat more than two hundred barbarian cavalry in one go.
But the number of barbarian cavalry is not just more than two hundred.
Get the maximum results at the minimum cost.
This is what generals should consider.
Li Dingguo looked at the big guy carried by several soldiers not far away, and he nodded.
Since there is such a good thing, of course you should use it.
Isn't there an old saying that says a war never tires of deceit?
"I'll bring them over!" Li Dingguo said immediately.
"How can a general get involved in dangerous situations so easily?"
"What you should be doing is arranging and directing!" Huang Tinghui said to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo thought that his identity and position were different now, and what Huang Tinghui said made sense.
So he didn't object.
After getting a few of his trusted soldiers ready, he began to prepare for an ambush.
According to the arrangements of Huang Tinghui and Li Dingguo, the few cavalrymen rode their horses and wandered nearby to ensure that they appeared in front of these barbarian soldiers.
Sure enough, this trick was extremely effective.
Seeing the cavalry from Dasheng Kingdom appearing, the barbarian general's interest suddenly rose.
The whole person also became inexplicably excited.
"There are actually cavalry from Dasheng Kingdom!"
"This weak and incompetent Southern Dynasty actually has enough resources to train cavalry!"
Licking his lips, the barbarian general's eyes were full of greed.
"General, this Han cavalry team should be scouts!"
"Come to spy on our army!" a soldier said to the barbarian general.
"We can't let them escape. Since they dare to hang out in front of our army, don't even think about leaving easily!"
"Boys!"
"Kill them all!!"
"Take these helpless Han Chinese as our appetizer!"
After saying that, the barbarian general mobilized his horse and charged towards the scouts.
"They're coming!"
"Took the bait!!"
"These barbarians!" Looking at the charging barbarian cavalry, the few soldiers who were used as bait were not afraid, but instead felt indescribable excitement.
"These idiots!!"
"If it hadn't been for the general's repeated orders, I would have really wanted to go up with my sword and fight these barbarian cavalry for a while!"
"Let them be so rampant!" Looking at the barbarian soldiers charging towards them, the dashing cavalryman with a sinister face said fiercely.
Seeing these barbarian soldiers trampling on the land of Dasheng without scruples, as a soldier guarding this land, he felt indescribably unhappy.
However, after a period of training, they also know that military orders are as strong as mountains, and naturally they will not do anything that violates military orders.
So when these barbarian soldiers rushed up, they scattered on horseback and fled.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Countless arrows were fired in the direction of these soldiers.
But because the distance was quite far, even though the archery skills of these barbarian soldiers were quite good.
But it couldn't hurt these soldiers at all.
At the same time, this group of barbarian soldiers had gradually entered the encirclement set up by Li Dingguo and Huang Tinghui.
"Get ready!" Li Dingguo made a gesture and looked straight ahead.
At this time, several soldiers acting as "bait" rode their horses to splash away the accumulated water.
The barbarian soldiers following them seemed to be shot by a hail of arrows in the wind and rain.
When this group of arrogant enemy cavalry rushed to a distance of about 300 steps, Huang Tinghui's prepared weapon finally came into play.
I saw the two crossbows with the longest range lurking in the forest, shooting at the barbarian soldiers who were charging towards them.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..." The bed crossbow, which had already been pulled to the extreme and had accumulated its strength to the limit, was activated in a short time.
I saw two thick crossbow arrows ejected from the crossbow on the bed and shot straight towards the barbarian cavalry who were arrogantly killing them.
The extremely sharp bed crossbow directly hit two enemy knights in one glance. The powerful residual power even penetrated the body of the barbarian soldier in one breath and pierced through the body of the barbarian soldier behind him.
If you look closer, you can almost see the bloody flowers splashing on the bodies of the barbarians from the powerful crossbow arrows.
In addition, the barbarian soldiers who were hit by the residual power of the crossbow arrows were sent flying directly by the powerful crossbows.
He flew out from the war horse.
The barbarian soldiers wielding sabers fell heavily to the ground, causing a splash of water.
The thigh of another barbarian soldier was pinned directly to the body of the horse by a crossbow arrow. The horse fell. The barbarian soldier had no time to react and was crushed to death by the horse.
The bed crossbow achieved such powerful results with this move, Huang Tinghui's blood boiled with excitement.
However, after these barbarian soldiers are prepared, the next battle will not be so easy to deal with.

Chapter completed!
