After Yiqushe announced the military order, he stepped aside. Yiquxiao stood up at this time. "Generals, tonight's battle will determine the outcome of our battle with the Jizhou Army. If we lose, then we will lose even more."
The last place of survival will be lost, and if we win, we can take the opportunity to cover up and go out, and it is even possible to go to Ji Di to plunder. At that time, there will be countless good things in return for everyone, please also
You must try your best.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely do our best to defeat the Jizhou army and plunder the land of Jizhou." All the generals said excitedly after the King's words.
"Haha, very good. I am here to wish you a great victory in advance. Now everyone should go back and prepare. Remember, when you go back, restrain your subordinates. From now until the general attack is launched in the evening, no one can
He is not allowed to leave the camp, otherwise he will be treated as a spy and the three clans will be implicated."
Speaking of what happened next, Yi Quxiao's expression became much more serious. Now that he has decided to launch a general offensive, the news must not leak out, and whoever dares to do anything to disgrace Beidi will be the enemy of everyone in Beidi.
.
Beidi Camp began to make preparations, and the military mobilization in the military camp became more frequent. All this did not escape the surveillance of Xiaobai in the sky. After seeing what he wanted to see, he flapped his wings and headed towards Jizhou Camp.
Fly back everywhere.
The news brought by Xiaobai gave Tang Ao a feeling that the Beidi Army was about to take action. In other words, it was very likely that tonight would be the time for the decisive battle. If this was the case, he would also need to be fully prepared.
"Come here, we are summoning everyone to come to the king's tent to discuss matters."
During the day, on the surface, the military camps of both sides seemed to be very restrained as usual, with no intention of fighting. But in the dark, the mobilization of the troops was becoming more frequent, and a feeling of a storm was coming came to everyone.
The hearts of soldiers.
In the afternoon, there was a light rain in the sky. Fortunately, the rain was not very heavy and it stopped before dark. The cloudy sky made the sky look even darker.
"Haha, God is really helping me. Even the weather is so helpful. How can there be no reason not to defeat the Jizhou Army. Come on, tell General She that everything will be carried out as planned." Before dark, Yi Quxiao walked out
After leaving the king's tent and looking at the sky, he laughed like a haha.
When black clouds covered the sky, groups of cavalry began to walk out of the Beidi army. They were wearing armor and holding swords. They came straight towards the Jizhou Army camp with a murderous look.
Different from the previous attacks in the middle of the night, this time the Beidi Army chose to launch its attack after dark. This is different from the usual attack method. I believe it will catch the Jizhou Army by surprise and determine the victory.
As the general of the vanguard army, Mu Qiu personally led 20,000 elite Beidi cavalry and rushed towards the Jizhou camp at an extremely fast speed. The distance of ten miles was quickly reduced to seven miles. Here, they finally
They saw the three thousand Jizhou cavalry patrolling outside.
In the dark night, with limited vision, it was impossible to see how many people were coming from the other side. We could only judge from the sound of horse hooves that there were many people coming from the other side. In this way, the three thousand Jizhou cavalry did not even do anything to block them.
, instead he turned around and ran towards his home camp.
"Haha, did you see that the Jizhou cavalry is timid? Boys and men, fight over and make great achievements today." Mu Qiu laughed loudly, clamped his legs hard, and the speed of getting off the horse increased again.
Mu Qiu, who was full of excitement, did not realize that the three thousand retreating Jizhou cavalry did not flee back like a broken army. On the contrary, they retreated in a fan shape, and in the process of retreating, in their hands
He kept throwing things outward, which were iron caltrops, which were regarded by the ancients as one of the nemesis of the cavalry.
Tang Ao had already prepared, and 30,000 prepared hexagonal caltrops were scattered on the frontal battlefield, almost covering the entire area.
Mu Qiu, who was following behind him, didn't know this. He only knew that his sudden attack had indeed caught the Jizhou Army off guard. The other party had no defense, which was enough. What he had to do now was to lead the army to attack continuously.
Just charge and charge again until you get behind the Jizhou Army, cover them up, and expand the results.
With excitement and excitement still on his face, he directed the army to rush forward. But soon there were bursts of wailing sounds from the front. Needless to say, the caltrops began to take effect.
"What's going on?" Seeing screams of pain coming from the front, and many black figures falling to the ground without any warning, Mu Qiu's face turned from flushed to blue.
"General, the Jizhou Army threw iron caltrops all over the ground. Our horses stepped on them and were in pain. Many warriors were thrown to the ground by the crazy horses." A 5,000-man captain ran forward and said,
Reporting to Mu Qiu.
"These Jizhou Army are really hateful. In this way, I ordered people to dismount to clear the obstacles and disperse the army. I don't believe it. Can the Jizhou Army block all the attack routes?" Mu Qiu
He said with hatred.
But until this moment, he did not think that the Jizhou Army had been prepared for it, but that it was a consistent method used by the other party. After all, everyone knew that the Jizhou Army was very rich, but it was just building some iron caltrops, and
What does it matter?
After the generals under their command accepted the order, the momentum of the attack could not help but slow down. One large army turned into several small armies and began to advance tentatively.
The frontal Beidi cavalry attack was blocked, and their attempt to rush to the Jizhou camp as soon as possible was in vain. In contrast, the attacking teams on the left and right were also injured by the iron caltrops covering the ground.
The offensive also had to slow down.
After receiving Chi He's report, Tang Ao gathered all the caltrops brought by the entire army, totaling one hundred thousand, and then left 30,000 on the front battlefield, ready to be ready in case of emergency.
In addition to Shi Toasa, the other 70,000 were thrown onto the battlefield one step ahead.
Now it seems that this concentrated use method is indeed effective. It blocks the sharpness of the Beidi cavalry and forces the opponent's horses to slow down. As a result, the speed advantage of the cavalry cannot be maximized.
But it was not enough to say that he had defended the camp with one hundred thousand iron caltrops, not to mention that Tang Ao still wanted to use this good opportunity to launch a beautiful counterattack, or even defeat the Beidi army in turn.
So one hundred thousand iron caltrops is just an appetizer, followed closely by horse snagging ropes, horse pits, and many horse-repelling stakes placed in front of the military camp.
Considering that their troops were at a disadvantage, Tang Ao never thought of fighting a war. After discussing with the staff, they chose to defend instead of attack, first holding back the attacking Beidi Army, and then disrupting the opponent's line and injuring the enemy.
Only after losing morale will a counterattack be carried out.
If you counterattack rashly, if you don't do it right, you will get yourself involved.
After the Beidi army suffered damage from the caltrops on the frontal battlefield, the left and right wings were not much better, and also suffered a lot of trauma. If the caltrops appeared on the frontal battlefield, it was a conventional countermeasure.
, then something is wrong when this thing appears on the entire battlefield.
If the rational General Beidi discovers this at this time and can stop the army's attack in time, they can retreat safely, with nothing more than the loss of thousands of cavalry. Their main force is still there, facing Jizhou
The army still has advantages.
If you stick to it, there will be no problem at all when it snows heavily in September.
But the arrow has been unsheathed, who is willing to take it back now?
It was just some iron caltrops blocking the way, and they were not placed in front of the Beidi cavalry who had a strong advantage in strength. They were just cheering themselves up. As long as these obstacles were cleared, they could enter the Jizhou military camp again.
They did not believe that the Jizhou Army would be fully prepared for a war in such a short period of time.
With the efforts of tens of thousands of troops, one hundred thousand iron caltrops were quickly swept away in the dark night. It didn't even take half an hour. The front of the Beidi cavalry became a smooth road again, and at this time they
A new round of attacks began.
This charge was a distance of two miles. When they could already see the Jizhou military camp, horse tripping ropes and horse traps appeared, causing the Beidi cavalry who rushed at the front to fall down in large numbers.
"Damn it, it's not over yet, they are really well prepared." Seeing another blocker appear, Mu Qiu's face turned from blue to purple, but he still didn't give the order to withdraw. He was already there.
We are in front of the Jizhou Military Camp, where is the reason to go back?
"Don't worry about other people, rush over. As long as we can rush into the Jizhou Army camp, victory will belong to us."
Mu Qiu's shout was passed down by the ordering soldiers, and soon the Beidi cavalry continued to move forward regardless of the losses. Under the cavalry who did not know how much they had lost, they finally advanced another mile, allowing them to come as they wished.
They arrived at the Jizhou camp. At this time, a Juma stake that was more than ten feet high was already placed in front of them.
Just behind the horse-rejecting stakes, there were countless infantry archers who were ready to fire arrows.
These people were not sent to the front line before because they were afraid that the Beidi cavalry would retreat in the face of difficulties. If that were the case, this battle would at best result in heavy damage to the opponent, far from achieving the goal of defeating the enemy in one fell swoop. But the battle was fought to this extent.
, you don’t have to worry so much. If you take a step back, you will die, and it’s time to show your trump cards.
After suffering heavy losses, the Beidi cavalry finally arrived in front of the Jizhou military camp. What they saw were the horse-rejecting stakes that were higher than the horses they were riding on, and what they saw were bows and arrows shooting like a waterfall one after another.
