"Report to the prince, forty miles ahead, there is an enemy camp with many enemies. Looking at the tents and smoke from cooking, I am afraid there will be thousands."
Thousands of enemy troops are not a small number, not to mention that all the Khitan cavalrymen are not enough to count the strength brought by the fleet.
"Have the scouts who were going to ask for help from the enemy have arrived?"
"Those barbarians and horses are not good. When the journey is halfway through, they stop under the tree to rest and drink horses. They are touched by our brothers."
These two scouts are Li San's junior brothers, two of the Seven Tigers in the famous royal palace in Yangzhou. They have obtained Yang San's true teachings.
"Then there will be no reinforcements to help in a short period of time."
"Your Majesty, there is a small river ahead, just ten miles away. The only place to cross the bridge is a wooden bridge. If you want to ambush, it is a good place."
"Take me to see!"
Hearing that things had a turnaround, Li Chongrun felt that he could not let go of such a big piece of fat, and felt that he still wanted to have a chance.
Because it was summer and it had just rained, the river water under the bridge rose very high, and the rippling river water made the wooden bridge across it look crumbling.
Li Chongrun broke a branch and threw it down the river. The branch whirled in the somewhat turbid river water and was taken away by the river water at a very fast speed.
A stone hangs down on the bridge and uses the feel of the fisherman for many years to test the depth of the water. Li Chongrun found that although the river is not wide, it is a bit deep, at least one foot.
There is a village by the river, which was obviously robbed by the Khitan rebels, leaving only broken walls and ruins. Not to mention the traces, there is no place for everyone to hide.
Outside the village, there were a row of wooden stakes standing along the path across the bridge, each of which was meter high, and some rags and other things were shaking in the wind on the wooden stakes.
Li Chongrun rode his horse forward with some curiosity, but after just one look, he felt a stream of nameless karma fire burning out of his body, as if he was going to burn himself to ashes.
The wooden stakes were hung with corpses with exposed bones that had been gnawed by insects and birds. Judging from their service and body shape, except for a few of them, the rest were mostly women, and
There are many people who don’t even have clothes, and I think they have suffered a lot of humiliation.
Li Chongrun, who was already preparing to give up the extermination of this grain transport team, felt that if he didn't kill anyone, he would be worried that he would be uneasy for a long time.
But after looking at the riverside, which had been swallowed by the river, Li Chongrun felt that unless the grain transport team was all blind, there would definitely be no one hidden here.
The only place where people can hide is a forest in the distance, about one mile away from the small bridge.
The distance is a bit far, but it happens to be a suitable distance for charge.
When Li Chongrun was about to go back and discuss a more perfect tactic with Chen Zi'ang, he found that his confidence was getting stronger.
Gongsun Lan carried her long sword and brought a team of camps and a team of factory guards to support her.
Uncle Yang San, who was carrying a cooked copper stick, also came.
What is even more surprising is that two dragon cannons were dragged behind the carriage that was transporting supplies.
It turned out that it had been almost completed from the camp on Juehua Island. When I heard that there was nothing wrong on the shore, I followed me to prepare to expand the outpost.
The factory guards who went back to send their tongues reported the news of the enemy's grain transport team to Jianzhen and Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan naturally knew that his fat man's temper would never let this enemy slip past him in vain.
Gongsun Lan, who was afraid that he would take risks, decisively rushed over with the supportive troops.
With these support, the key is that with two dragon cannons, this grain transport team naturally became the fish on the chopping board. The only problem now is how long they can jump.
After rushing to the river with the troops, Li Chongrun naturally would not give up the opportunity to brainwash his brothers. In fact, without Li Chongrun delivering any exciting speeches, he just saw those once fresh compatriots being salted.
Usually, they were hung on the wooden stake and everyone exploded on the spot.
The eyes of a group of young and energetic brothers were so bloody that they seemed to be about to explode. They wanted to find a few rebels to come out immediately and sacrifice to these compatriots on the spot.
Li Chongrun felt that the pre-war mobilization was quite successful.
Because he was worried that the enemy of the grain transport team would find the traces of his group, Li Chongrun stopped everyone from preparing to let the villagers go down and arranged for the troops to ambush the woods.
With Chen Zi'ang and Uncle Yang San by the small bridge, Li Chongrun carefully pondered the arrangements for waiting.
The scout kept coming from the grain transport team, and seemed to relax his vigilance. The grain transport team's speed has become much faster. At the current speed, the enemy will arrive in about an hour.
The two dragon cannons have also aimed at the crumbling wooden bridge and are ready to launch.
The engineer shovel of the factory guards played a great role. Under the command of Li Chongrun, a row of scattered soldiers was quickly dug out by the woods.
Although it has not achieved the effect of a trench, it is enough for a shooting team to hide it inside, and there is still a lot of space for loading such a larger action.
Chen Zi'ang and Yang Sansun were very puzzled by Li Chongrun's behavior of not filling in the pit. Since ancient times, people in the world have been eager to find a place with a flat horse to spread out their formations when fighting. Li Chongrun's behavior of digging pits to hinder traffic usually only has defensive operations.
It will only be used when preventing the enemy from charging.
But this time, he was obviously the one who charged, and Li Chongrun's behavior of digging holes really puzzled everyone.
In fact, Li Chongrun didn't want to play trench warfare in the Tang Dynasty. It was just that the Khitans were good at shooting, and these treasure soldiers under him were reluctant to let them suffer some damage.
But it is really difficult to prepare a shield for each shooting team in this short period of time. Their own troops are really nameless and cannot be covered with armor openly, so they can only take out the antique tactics and learn and use them.
To this end.
Just as Li Chongrun operated in a row, he finally arranged the position and lurked carefully, the grain transport team finally appeared in his sight.
Seeing the small bridge, several Khitan leaders with sable tails decorated with sable tails were also nervous. They looked around the small bridge carefully and saw the bodies hanging on the side of the burned village. I don’t know what they said, but far away
It seemed that I was smiling happily.
Several leaders patrolled back and forth between a large area on the left and right for two rounds, and sent a small team to cross the bridge repeatedly to confirm the stability of the bridge. Then they felt relieved and sent another team of cavalry.
, surrounded the warning circle about a mile and a half from afar, and then began to drive the old cow who was pulling the cart to walk up the bridge.
Li Chongrun looked at the grain transport team preparing to cross the river from afar in the woods, and waited for the old cow to step onto the wooden bridge.
"put!"
Two loud noises rang out at the same time.
The weeds on the ground were disturbed by the torn air of the galloping shells and fell to both sides.
It was like two huge long swords that cut a long wound on the ground.
And the whereabouts of the long sword are naturally the shaking wooden bridge.
Just as the sound of cannons was heard, the alert Khitan cavalry also found signs of firing.
Although I don't know what these two loud noises came from, the reaction inside the instinct still made everyone realize from the bottom of their bones that these were a huge threat. They howled and roared, and urged the army to approach the forest that had just emitted fire and smoke.
Charge here.
The battle was quite unremarkable. After the artillery roared in the second round, the last two ox carts in the team were blown up, and the retreat of the convoy was blocked, the remaining battle naturally fought with the encounter just now.
It's exactly the same.
After several rounds of shooting from the camp, the Khitan cavalry had little courage to charge.
However, several shots also exposed the problem of insufficient firepower density on Li Chongrun.
After several leaders with weasel tail cut off the heads of several cavalrymen who were trying to escape, a cavalry team of more than one hundred people formed a very dense camp and rushed towards the woods in a mighty way.
.
Just as those leaders imagined, although Li Chongrun had some methods they didn't know, and could beat even further than a bow and arrow, his speed and quantity were insufficient. Amid the sound of shooting one after another, although many cavalrymen were riding on the horse's back.
He fell down, but he still let many cavalry rush to a distance that was enough to draw a bow and shoot arrows.
Then Chen Zi'ang knew why Li Chongrun dug so many pits.
