In some ways, Prince Wulu may have really wronged Lu Xu.
Because although the Xin'an Army's high profile allowed the Beiting people to break through the defense, it was not Lu Xu who took the initiative this time.
Since these Beiting people are going to die anyway, is there any need to cause trouble? The encirclement in front is ready, all we have to do is take them through.
The reason why Lu Xu should do what he did was because he did mean to look down on these Beiting people. But more importantly, he wanted to preserve the soldiers' physical strength as much as possible so that the soldiers could maintain sufficient physical strength when they really started fighting.
.
As for...
Have the Beiting people broken through the defense? Lu Xu said that this can only be regarded as an unexpected gain.
But no matter what, the Beiting people had broken through the defense to this point. No matter how hard their officers suppressed them, the marching speed of the troops was invisibly faster.
The final result was that they fought with the Xin'an Army slightly earlier than Lu Xu expected.
This made Lu Xu slightly embarrassed. According to Lu Xu's plan, if they fought a little later, the effect would be better. Because according to Lu Xu's calculation, if they fought a little later, they would fight all the way.
Just before the Beiting people completely despaired, they could be brought into the encirclement.
Now that they are fighting so early, Lu Xu is really afraid that he will collapse if he fights the Beiting people. After all, their Xin'an army is so strong, anyone who fights them for a long time will be under great psychological pressure, right?
But after thinking about it, the other party's top commander was his undercover agent anyway. My worries should be unnecessary!
Therefore, after seeing the Beiting people approaching, Lu Xu directly ordered his archers to attack!
Seeing the rain of arrows falling again, the Beiting people became angry again: "It's this move again!"
It's not their fault. Anyone who is bullied and crushed by the same trick over and over again will definitely feel angry.
Especially as soldiers, they can accept their own death because they are not brave enough, and they can also accept their own death because their troops are inferior to others. However, because of poor equipment, they have nothing to show for their martial arts and passion. This result is
They cannot accept it no matter what.
The current situation in front of us makes the people of Beiting extremely painful and angry.
Only now have these barbarians who are still in slave society realized how powerful the power of civilization is?
It can be said that Lu Xu's violent beating demonstrated the power of civilization to the people of Beiting more simply and quickly than the hundreds of years of delicious food and drink served by Daliang's civil servants.
It's just that things didn't develop as the scholars thought. The scholars believed that when the barbarians saw the benefits of civilization, they would naturally admire the king, thus gradually eliminating war.
However, when these Beiting people once again confirmed that the Daliang people did have something good in their hands, they still had only one idea - to rob him!
The eyes of many people in Beiting were already shining. They were eyeing the eagle bows in the hands of the Xin'an Army. They wanted to rush up and kill all those damn Daliang people, and then take their eagle bows as their own.
Especially the eagle shooters among the Beiting people, they have never disliked the bows and arrows in their hands so much. The skills they have developed over the years are nothing in front of the Xin'an Army's eagle bows? This makes them wish they could use everything they have
Go get an eagle bow!
only......
Before they could rush forward in a hurry, an order came from above, and the content of the order actually asked them to slow down their attack?
Many Beiting soldiers thought this was caused by the unlearned Prince Wulu again.
But in fact, this matter really has nothing to do with Prince Wulu. Strictly speaking, he can only be regarded as "complying with public opinion" at best.
Because this decision was made jointly by the officers of the Eagle Guard and the Iron Guard!
Unlike those lower-level soldiers, the officers keenly discovered a problem. That is, the mountain roads in the Qinling Mountains brought them great obstacles, which greatly increased the time and energy they spent in charging.
This caused them to endure several more rounds of arrows in vain.
Of course, this should be acceptable to the Iron Guards. After all, they have armor on their bodies, so they still have some protection.
It's just that the Iron Guards have suffered heavy losses after these battles, and their strength is seriously insufficient!
Although the Beiting people still have the advantage in terms of military strength, if we only look at the number of heavy-armed units, the Beiting people are already at an absolute disadvantage.
If the Iron Guards are allowed to waste too much on the charge, then when the two sides actually engage in hand-to-hand combat, the Beiting people will not be able to take advantage!
After all, the Beiting people have seen the sword array of the Xin'an Army. Is it something to be trifled with?
Even if the Eagle Guards are consumed instead of the Iron Guards, it may not work. After all, the Eagle Guards are too fragile in front of the Eagle Bow. If they are allowed to consume the Xin'an Army's arrow rain, the Eagle Guards will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
If all the Eagle Guards are exhausted, can the Iron Guards alone defeat the Xin'an Army?
So no matter how this account is calculated, the people of Beiting all suffered a loss of blood!
In the eyes of the officers, the only way was to use the Qinling Mountains in reverse. It would be best to find a place down the mountain to launch the charge.
In this way, the gravity and inertia of going down the mountain can be used to shorten the charging time, and it can also amplify their impact force. Maybe they can defeat the Xin'an Army in one fell swoop!
Anyway, the journey from Wei'anbao to Xin'anzhai is still long, and everyone feels that they still have many opportunities. When it really doesn't work, they will think of other ways.
The officers' decision naturally made the soldiers at the bottom extremely dissatisfied. But the biggest advantage of this army is that this army is a slave army. No matter how dissatisfied they are, they dare not do anything. Who makes them slaves?
?
In this way, the officers' orders were faithfully carried out. The Xin'an Army was fighting well when they found that their enemy seemed to be slowing down.
Lu Xu roughly guessed what was going on after a moment's thought. He really didn't expect that the problem that troubled him could be solved so easily. He couldn't help but sigh: "There are people in the court who are easy to do things!"
But now that he had roughly guessed the enemy's purpose, Lu Xu had to find a way to use it.
It just so happened that there was a downhill slope near the ambush location chosen by Lu Xu.
At that time, Lu Xu really chose that place because of the slope. Thinking about it from another angle, there is such a downhill slope. Even if the enemy notices something wrong on the way to the charge, it will be too late to change the route, right?
And if they didn't find anything unusual, when they wanted to break out of the encirclement, they didn't have to think about the Xin'an Army in front. Although the rural soldiers behind were easy to deal with, there was a mountain behind the rural soldiers, and the Beiting people actually had to look up to them.
Attack, this is also a big challenge for them.
Lu Xu originally thought that the benefits of that hillside were nothing more than that. He really didn't expect that the hillside he originally selected could have a third use.
