The staff and their entourage left Weizhou City that day and rushed to the Tielin Army.
At the same time, the Dangxiang Army camp was also bustling with activity.
A group of generals gathered in the big tent, drinking and discussing the afternoon battle.
"Damn it, I almost captured Qinghuai alive!"
"My men slashed Qinghuai and hit him, but he was rescued by his personal guards. It's such a pity."
"It is indeed a pity that Qinghuai usually hides at the back like a tortoise. It was a rare occasion that he went to the front line and he was not caught yet."
"It's all because of those iron wires. They got wrapped around the horse's legs and couldn't be broken free. It's really abominable."
"Qinghuai was already difficult to deal with, and now that he has a way to deal with war horses, he will be in trouble in the future."
"Don't worry, everyone. My men have captured several Tielin Army soldiers. I've asked people to interrogate them. Qinghuai's barbed wire fence has been used up. If we don't retreat today and rush over directly, we will definitely kill all the Tielin Army soldiers at once.
Capture Qinghuai alive!"
"Is the news reliable? That guy Qinghuai has more eyes than the devil. Let's not fall into the trap again."
"It probably wasn't Qinghuai's plan. When my men came back, they tied a prisoner behind a horse and dragged him to death. When we returned to the camp, the remaining prisoners were so scared that they peed their pants. What could I say?
What."
"Is it a plan? We'll find out if we see it tomorrow? Let's go to the commander to challenge him later. If there is still barbed wire on the ground, then we will think of a way. If not, we will fight directly and level the iron forest.
Army, capture Qinghuai alive!"
"Destroy Tielin's army and capture Qinghuai alive!"
The remaining party generals also raised their wine bowls and shouted loudly.
After drinking, a group of generals came to the commander's tent to ask for a fight.
This time, the Dangxiang commander in charge of the southern invasion was Li Jikui, a member of the royal family. He was brave in battle, but lacked resourcefulness. Last year, Qinghuai led him by the nose in the mountains for more than ten days. He became a joke among the Dangxiang senior officials. Qinghuai was considered the most hated among the Dangxiang people.
one of.
At noon, I heard a report from my subordinates that Qinghuai's flag had been raised in Qingshui Valley, so I immediately ordered my cavalry to fight over it.
Qinghuai was also unlucky. He usually stayed in command and did not easily go to the front line. However, He Mingqin made a mess of the Tielin Army and had to lay out barbed wire, so he went to the river beach. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by the party's cavalry.
At that time, in addition to a dozen soldiers, Qinghuai only had a hundred-man team. Fortunately, a barbed wire fence was laid out on the river beach in advance. Fortunately, most of the party members had strong limbs and simple minds. Even after seeing the barbed wire fence on the river beach, no one was willing to retreat.
Stumbling on the barbed wire fence.
Otherwise, Qinghuai would not be as simple as being seriously injured and comatose.
Unknown things are the most frightening. This was the first time that barbed wire appeared on the battlefield in this world. When Li Jikui saw the strong horse being tightly tied up by the barbed wire, bleeding and unable to break free, he ordered the troops to retreat.
Prepare to come back after you find out what barbed wire is.
After returning, I learned from the prisoners that there was not much barbed wire and regretted that it was broken.
If it hadn't been getting dark soon and the cavalry was not good at fighting at night, he would have wished to fight the Tielin Army again now.
So when his generals came to ask for a fight, Li Jikui immediately agreed to continue the attack on Qingshui Valley tomorrow.
Outside Qingshui Valley, Jin Feng has walked around the hill several times, asking his guards to mark the ground from time to time.
"Xu Xiao, please arrange for two hundred sergeants to come over and ask them to bring axes to chop down the trees."
Jin Feng turned around and said: "Another five hundred sergeants will be arranged to go to the bamboo forest over there to cut down a thousand bamboos before dark and transport them back to the camp!"
There is a large pine forest on the top of this mountain, which can be cut down to make a catapult.
Further forward, there is a large bamboo forest. It is unknown how many years it has grown. Each one is almost as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It is also planned by Jin Feng to cut down.
"yes!"
Although Lieutenant General Xu Xiao didn't understand why Jin Feng did this, he still obeyed the order.
This was the first order Jin Feng gave him. To show his respect, he personally went down the mountain to make arrangements.
Zhong Wu was Qing Huai's personal bodyguard for Jin Feng. Even though Qing Huai was unconscious, Zhong Wu still carried out this order.
Xu Xiao was here just now, so he couldn't question Jin Feng. When Xu Xiao came down the mountain, Zhong Wu came up and asked:
"Sir, are you asking people to go up the mountain to cut down trees to make the catapult you just mentioned?"
"Yes," Jin Feng nodded and admitted without hiding anything from Zhong Wu.
"Is this thing reliable?"
"Of course," Jin Feng said confidently: "If all the catapults are installed in the places I marked, the party members will not be able to rush over no matter how many troops they come."
"So powerful?" Zhong Wu was shocked.
After knowing each other for so long, he understood Jin Feng well and knew that Jin Feng was always conservative in his words.
Now that I say that, I have full confidence.
"The only thing I'm worried about now is that I don't have enough time."
Jin Feng sighed helplessly.
The structure of the catapult is simpler than that of the heavy crossbow, and it does not need to use arrows, rocks from the mountains, enemy corpses, oil jars, anything can be thrown at the enemy position. The killing range and lethality are higher than that of the heavy crossbow.
Although the firing speed is much slower than the heavy crossbow, it is already a very cost-effective war weapon.
The only trouble is that building a catapult also takes time.
If you give him another month or two, no, just give him another week, he will be much calmer.
It's a pity that the party members won't give him that much time.
"Sir, don't worry. If the party members come over, even if they use a lot of people, I will lead my brothers to buy you enough time."
Zhong Wu shouted, patting his chest.
"To deal with the party's cavalry, you can't just rely on crowds, you have to use your brain."
Jin Feng nodded his head: "By the way, Brother Zhong, have you ever led soldiers before becoming the Marquis' personal guard?"
"Of course I did. Lao Zheng, Liu Qiong, and I were all centurions. Later, we were chosen by the Marquis and came to serve as personal guards."
"Then I'll give you a task."
"Sir, please tell me."
"You are like this..."
Jin Feng picked up a wooden stick from the ground and squatted on the ground to explain his plan to Zhong Wu.
"Okay... okay... you can actually deal with the cavalry like this..."
As Jin Feng narrated, Zhong Wu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was so excited that he wanted to go to Dangxiang Cavalry now to try the method Jin Feng said.
"When Xu Xiao comes, I will ask him to mobilize 500 sergeants for you. You can take action at night. Don't delay."
One mistake on the battlefield could be the price of death, not to mention that Qinghuai had reminded him before he fell into coma that party members might attack at any time, so Jin Feng did not dare to take any chances and handled everything according to the most urgent situation.
Xu Xiao moved very quickly. As soon as Jin Feng finished talking to Zhong Wu about the plan, he arrived with two hundred sergeants.
