Peng Yue's horrified scream was met with a bunch of resentful looks.
"General, our army only has less than a thousand archers. If we come out at this time, let alone whether we can hit the Qin army, I am afraid that with the Qin army's powerful crossbows, our archers will be gone without being able to meet them.
." The corners of Bangtuo's mouth twitched and he said.
"Even if this is the case, we can't sit back and wait for death and watch the Qin army fill up the traps and roadblocks, right?" Peng Yue said anxiously.
"General, please be patient. The Qin army is trying to use its powerful crossbows to bully our weak army and attempt to break through our camp. However, although the Qin army has more than 30,000 men, it only has a mere 10,000 infantry and cavalry troops.
If you dismount, you will no longer be an army. But our army has fifty thousand people.
Now our best strategy is to block the Qin army's crossbow arrows first, and wait until the Qin army clears the roadblocks for our army. Our army should rush out of the camp immediately. Once the two armies fight, the Qin army's powerful crossbows will no longer be of any use, and
At that time, our army will occupy all the favorable terrain and favorable people. Even if we cannot completely annihilate the tens of thousands of Qin troops, we should still be able to inflict heavy losses on the Qin army."
Hamato said calmly.
"Okay! Sir, you are indeed smart. Our army will act accordingly." Peng Yue high-fived and said with a smile.
Bang Tao also knew that he was suffering at this moment. He knew very well about the equipment of this 50,000-strong army. There were less than 500 large cowhide shields that could be used to withstand the Qin army's crossbow arrows, and the Qin army's crossbow arrows had always rained down. This
How many people can a mere five hundred shields protect?
But if Peng Yue, the general, is not panicked at this time, then these 50,000 soldiers are just a cobbled-together army. I am afraid that they will be in chaos before the Qin army attacks.
Hamato bowed to Peng Yue and said: "Then let's arrange this." He was going to find a shield. It was impossible to rely on Peng Yue. Peng Yue might be good at charging and fighting, but Peng Yue was far worse at marching.
Already.
"Go ahead, leave everything to sir." Peng Yue also knew his own affairs.
The more than ten thousand infantrymen of the Qin army advanced very quickly. They did not have the tools to dig and fill the holes, so they just used things from the tent to throw them down as cushions. The main thing was to clear away the small copper thorns, iron nails and other objects that were densely covered on the ground.
Hamato's 50,000-strong army had already retreated to the back of the camp. They barely had time to go up the mountain. It's not that they didn't want to go up, but this solitary mountain over a hundred meters high really couldn't accommodate so many people, and the terrain was rugged.
Not conducive to charging when the time comes.
Peng Yue looked at the "shield" that Bang Tao had tinkered with and almost didn't draw it directly.
"This...is this what the gentleman said to resist the Qin army's crossbows?" Peng Yue pointed to thousands of logs as thick as arms or even calves, tied together with ropes to make a simple shield knot like a bamboo raft.
Baba's way.
Hamato smiled bitterly and said: "General, this thing must be stronger than a large cowhide shield."
Peng Yue waved his hands wordlessly and said: "Then quickly set up the formation, the Qin army is about to break the camp."
Five hundred large cowhide shields were placed on the outermost periphery by Bangtuo, facing the Qin army, and then dozens of people carried huge "bamboo raft shields" one by one. The tops of their heads were covered tightly, and Peng Yue said
After giving the order, the 50,000-strong army, which looked like a tortoise shell, slowly approached outside the camp.
After a series of crisp sounds of "crackling".
The wooden fence outside Pengyue's camp was torn apart by the Qin army with ropes. Once the fence fell, it meant that Peng Yue's camp had completely opened its chest to tens of thousands of Qin soldiers.
Before the more than ten thousand Qin army infantry entered the camp, they saw tens of thousands of rebel troops appearing in the middle of the camp carrying "bamboo rafts and shields". Moving forward slowly, the more than ten thousand Qin army soldiers were stunned at first, and then burst out laughing in unison.
No one expected that in order to resist the crossbows of themselves and others, these rebels came up with such a seemingly useful but actually extremely stupid method. Of course, this method is still useful now that the Qin army does not have giant continuous-firing crossbows.
He is said to be stupid precisely because these soldiers of the Qin Dynasty all know that this seemingly useful method, if encountered by the Qin Dynasty's continuous-fire crossbow machine, will be like carrying a lantern into the latrine and seeking death.
Although the more than ten thousand infantrymen of the Qin Army were smiling, they all knew that in the absence of large-scale crossbows, Peng Yue and others' method was very useful, but it was only useful.
Qin's crossbow is famous all over the world, not just for projectiles.
The reason why the Qin army chose to launch its powerful crossbows in previous battles was simply because at that time, although the Six Kingdoms were weaker than the Qin Dynasty, at least their armies were well equipped with armor.
Ejection can make the crossbow arrows fall faster, using the force of the fall to tear apart the armor and protect the enemy and kill the enemy.
Most of the rebel soldiers in front of them were clothed or even half-clothed. Even if they were shot at a level, Da Qin's powerful crossbows could easily tear their clothes apart, causing more effective damage.
Seeing that the enemy had appeared and entered the range of the powerful crossbow, the captain leading the team roared: "Ping! Shoot!"
The powerful crossbow that had been prepared for a long time was immediately leveled. The sound of "bang" and "bang" being pulled by the trigger was heard endlessly, and the crossbow arrow was fired smoothly with a small sound of breaking through the air.
More than 10,000 crossbow arrows were like a swarm of wasps, making a huge scream and heading towards Peng Yue's army.
Peng Yuejun, who originally had a "bamboo raft-style shield" on his head, was caught off guard by the Qin Army's sudden change in shooting method.
Although there were more than 500 large cowhide shields blocking the front, it was impossible to cover everything. The sound of "duh" could not be heard. The 500 large shields were suddenly filled with eight-inch-long small crossbow arrows, which were cute but deadly.
The large shield blocked some of the crossbow arrows, but there were still no fewer than thousands of crossbow arrows that got through the gaps and penetrated fiercely, causing screams to be heard. The originally neat formation of the Vietnamese army suddenly became chaotic.
More than ten thousand infantrymen fired a wave of crossbows without batting an eyelid. Taking advantage of the chaos of tens of thousands of rebel troops, they ran away. Some Qin soldiers did not forget to turn around and laugh a few times as they ran.
Peng Yue finally realized what it meant to be intolerable to an uncle and unbearable to an aunt.
Everyone knows that although the Qin army's crossbows are powerful, they cannot fire continuously.
Peng Yue and others originally planned to use this method to get as close as possible to the Qin army and rush out during the gap between the Qin army's crossbows. But now they did not expect that the Qin army, which was always known for its bravery, actually ran away after firing a wave of crossbow arrows.
And it seemed that the 20,000 cavalrymen behind them had no intention of taking action.
Seeing Peng Yue throw away the big shield in his hand, he was about to give the order to kill. Bang Tao, who had been following him, didn't care much, grabbed Peng Yue and said urgently: "General, calm down!"
Peng Yue's eyes widened. He threw away Bang Tuo's hand and said angrily: "The Qin people fled without fighting. Such a good opportunity. How long will it take if we don't pursue them now?"
"General, the Qin people are trying to lure my army out of the mountains. If our army really rushes to the wilderness at this time, does the general think that tens of thousands of our troops can withstand the Qin army of more than 30,000? General, our army definitely can't.
Come out of the mountain!"
"Don't come out of the mountain! Don't come out of the mountain. When the Qin army's strong crossbows are ready, shall we wait to receive arrows? If the Qin army only shoots us with their strong crossbows and does not fight with our army, then we will just wait to be attacked by the Qin army."
Kill them one by one like chickens and sheep?" Peng Yue said with a livid face.
Bangtuo opened his mouth a few times and said resolutely: "General, I would like to ask the general not to lead the troops to rush out of the mountain. I think that since Meng Tian sent reinforcements here, it must be the Prime Minister who has sent troops. Meng Tian wants to fight with the Prime Minister first.
Encircling and killing the 50,000-strong army behind them, their worries have been relieved.
Now, as long as we can hold back these tens of thousands of Qin troops, Meng Tian's mere tens of thousands of elite soldiers will definitely not be the match of the Prime Minister's hundreds of thousands of troops. If Meng Tian is defeated, the entire Handan and even Hanoi, Shangdang will be our enemy.
The thing is in the middle‰Lord Zhu Guo, think twice!”
It can be said that Bang Tao is indeed Li Zuoche's most reliable adviser and adviser. Although everything he said is speculation, it actually speaks to the correct solution. Once Zhang Wu Qian Liang's 40,000 troops are dragged here
, it is almost impossible for Meng Tian, relying on 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, to defeat Li Zuoche's 180,000 army.
If the commander had been replaced, perhaps with the bravery and eliteness of the Jiuyuan Army, he might have won a tragic victory, but Li Zuoche was not a bad general. He had a raging army and a den of raging generals, and his words were rough but his reasoning was not rough.
Although Peng Yue was not very good at leading troops in battle, he knew what was important and what was important, and could distinguish right from wrong.
Bang Tuo's meaning was very clear. He wanted to use the lives of these 50,000 people to hold off the 40,000 Qin soldiers to help Li Zuoche defeat Meng Tian on the other side of the battlefield.
But Peng Yue hesitated. He went to Zhao for wealth, not to work for Li Zuoche. Although Li Zuoche gave him a high position in the Zhu Kingdom, he helped him capture Julu, and he thought he deserved it.
Location.
Li Zuoche defeated Meng Tian, and all the credit belongs to Li Zuoche, because at that time he was sure that he would be slowly worn to death by the Qin army if he stayed in this camp. He had nothing to do with him for the misty battle.
In the victory of Mao Xian Guan, let's first say that Li Zuoche will win, but he will have to take his own life.
Peng Yue really didn't have such a high level of consciousness.
"General, go ahead. What benefits can Li Zuoche get from defeating his brothers? We will both die if we die. The worst we can do is go fishing in Dalu Ze if we escape."
The speaker was a big thief who followed Peng Yue and joined Li Zuoche. The personal guards around Peng Yue were all his men who used to fish and steal with him in Dalu Ze.
"Yes! Chief, run!"
"General, take your brothers and fight out."
…
Someone started, and the remaining thieves who followed Peng Yue and defected all agreed.
"Shut up!"
Bang Tao was stunned when he heard the words of these thieves. He never thought that these people would say such words at this time. Once Peng Yue, who was not very firm in his original position, was shaken, it would not matter if the 50,000-strong army was destroyed. He
It doesn't matter if you die.
Now that Meng Tian has these 40,000 troops, the balance of the battle between Li Zuoche and Meng Tian will soon tilt.
"You guys, how dare you be so big..."
"presumptuous!"
Peng Yue interrupted Bang Tuo's words with a loud shout, and slowly glanced at the surrounding rebels and said: "I have made up my mind, continue to advance fifty steps, and the whole army will rush over and kill these damn Qin people.
"
"Here!"
Dozens of bodyguard thieves who followed Peng Yue and defected responded in unison.
"Poof! Peng Yue! You are a bandit. The Prime Minister has never despised you. Instead, he has given you a high position and treated you very well. But today, you, an old man, are so greedy and fearful of life and fear of death. You will not be able to do well..." Bang Tuo was so angry that he took a mouthful of blood. He sprayed it out, pointed at Peng Yue and cursed.
"Click"
A flash of shining sword light flashed with a crisp sound. A stream of hot blood spurted out more than three feet high.
Hamato still kept the mouth shape of the word "death" but could no longer say it. In a daze, he found that he was suddenly flying higher and higher, and below, a headless corpse was slowly falling to the ground, gushing hot blood. (To be completed. Continued..
