The soldiers couldn't understand, but Li Zhao was very clear in his heart.
Not for that, just to have more eyes to deal with Zhang Liang.
Not long ago, when everyone's attention was focused on the bandits below, Tie Ying suddenly appeared and said that the ovary was at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain. This sentence directly reminded Li Zhao to be cautious. Only then did a dozen people chase Chen Sheng and the bandits. .
Most of the soldiers stayed behind just to deal with Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang is good at using tricks and strategies to win without fighting. Li Zhao has always kept this in mind and never dared to underestimate him.
After Tie Ying left, he sent people to secretly observe the situation down the mountain from a high place. Just now, in addition to the strange movements on the mountain road down the mountain, he also noticed strange movements on both sides of the mountain, which made him wary.
Needless to say, Zhang Liang adopted the strategy of using frontal attacks as bait and attacking from both sides as the main strategy. This was to form a two-sided attack.
If Zhang Liang really succeeded, they would be attacked from both sides and caught in the middle.
It's okay to say that even if there are a large number of people and sophisticated weapons below, they won't pose much of a threat to them, but if they are surrounded on both sides and occupy the upper position, they will be difficult to deal with even if they have machine guns.
Now the only way to resolve such a predicament is to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.
Carefully!
In the hazy night, Li Zhao could see clearly. There were dense crowds of people approaching quietly. The distance was shortening. They were on both sides. There were people on both sides. It was vaguely estimated that there were thousands of people.
Li Zhao smiled bitterly, Zhang Liang really liked him. Thousands of people were fighting against less than a hundred, which showed how deep the shadow was on Zhang Liang last time.
But he is not afraid. According to his understanding of machine guns in his previous life, generally the range of the machine gun is 800 meters, which has a certain lethality. However, due to limited conditions, the effective range of the machine gun he made should not be that large, but it is possible to reach 500 meters, that is It is said that as long as the thieves are within 500 meters, it is time to harvest their lives.
Of course, although the fire cannons of the Ming Dynasty were advanced, they were very rubbish compared to the thermal weapons of the 21st century. It is estimated that the effective range of fire cannons is limited to 100 meters. In other words, they are absolutely useless at a distance of less than 100 meters. It won't fire, and it will definitely get closer to 100 meters, or even less.
hey-hey! 100 meters, in fact, they don't need to get close to 100 meters, they can shoot at 200 meters. Of course, 100 meters is better, they can harvest more accurately, and they don't waste too many bullets.
Therefore, Li Zhao was not in a hurry. He was waiting for them to enter the fatal range, out of reach of their guns.
There's just one problem. There are only so many bullets. How can we kill them all without wasting bullets?
For a moment, a bold idea came to mind, letting them get closer, at least the bandit in front would be within 100 meters.
Unfortunately, the distance is too far and the explosive packets cannot be thrown that far, and they are above, so even if they are thrown that far, they cannot guarantee their own safety.
As time passed, perhaps the soldiers also saw the dense crowds of figures, and their breathing became rapid, but they did not dare to move.
On the top of the mountain, the temporary palace was illuminated by fire. Ying Zheng and his ministers were sitting at attention, and the atmosphere was extremely cramped.
Outside, Wang Ben was leading three thousand troops on guard nervously. Fortifications were gradually being formed. There were traps within a thousand meters. This was not enough. The crossbowmen were rushing to make crossbows in order to cope with the war that had no chance of winning.
Yes, this has escalated into a war.
"Your Majesty, I kindly ask for reinforcements immediately." Li Si broke the silence and knelt down in front of the expressionless emperor to request the order.
The emperor secretly asked Tie Ying to invite reinforcements and did not say anything. After all, Black Ice Platform was a secret organization and was not allowed to be known.
Huang didn't answer, but stared at Li Si, as if he wanted to see through Li Si.
Being stared at like this, Li Si broke out in cold sweat, but he knew that if he didn't invite reinforcements, everyone would become prisoners, not to mention the emperor.
Zhao Gao couldn't help it, prostrated on the ground, and asked the emperor to call for reinforcements.
All the ministers knelt down to ask for orders.
Seeing that the emperor still didn't respond, everyone was worried and worried, but there was nothing they could do.
Finally, Huang spoke, but his voice was extremely cold: "Do you really not believe Li Zhao?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't believe Li Shaonei, but the disparity in the number of people is really too great. According to the report from the scouts in the evening, the bandits have made some moves. Almost all of them have been dispatched. They are densely packed and number in the thousands."
"A hundred people face thousands of people. I think there is no chance of winning."
"The best option right now is to call in reinforcements."
Li Si strongly advised him, completely ignoring his low status in the eyes of the emperor.
Ying Zheng glanced at his ministers, feeling unspeakable helplessness in his heart. He sighed softly and said slowly: "Xiang Li's words are reasonable. As for reinforcements, I have already ordered people to invite them. It's just that the distance is too far and it will take two days to arrive."
"Two days?" Li Si and other ministers frowned, but some people who were not determined enough started to panic.
Two days was too long, and their remaining soldiers could not delay the attack for such a long time. As expected, Li Zhao could not hold out for an hour. Although Tongwuhou was fully prepared, it was only a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention the large number of thieves, their weird weapons are not something that an army of three thousand can resist.
In other words, if there is no accident, they may not survive the night.
"What's wrong with this?" Xiao Zhao had never been on the battlefield. Faced with such a situation, the corners of his mouth trembled with nervousness.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, suddenly a scout came to report.
"Report, there's news!"
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Zhao's legs and feet started to shake, he was unsteady and almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, what does the news mean? It means that Li Zhao was defeated, and he was so defeated that he couldn't even hold on for an hour.
"Say it!"
"Victory, great victory!"
A great victory? Some people still can't react, and some people feel that they heard the wrong words. In such a situation, how could there be a great victory? How do a hundred people deal with thousands.
"Tell me the details quickly." Ying Zheng looked happy and stood up from his seat.
"No! News just came that Li Shaonei led a hundred troops to use the throwing method to break the offensive threat of the bandits and monster weapons, and annihilated 500 bandits. The rest fled in fear. At this moment, thousands of Black Tigers are about to attack. Leading a dozen or so people to pursue the bandits, I believe there will be good news soon."
"What did you say?" Li Si was the first to not believe it and stared at the scout.
The scout bowed and said, "Master Li annihilated five hundred bandits in the first battle."
Win? Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. One hundred people faced thousands of people, but they managed to achieve a small victory and captured five hundred people. What ridiculous news, but the scouts would not dare to lie about the military situation.
In other words, he really won. Everyone is happy.
When Xiao Zhao heard this, his legs and feet stopped shaking and he was able to stand.
"Are there any casualties in our Qin army?"
"There were no casualties."
Shhhhh!
Everyone gasped.
There were no casualties yet, what a feat this was.
Ying Zheng was overjoyed, and his face suddenly relaxed a lot, "Okay, very good, Li Zhao is worthy of being a bandit-killing general." He had never expected this.
"Continue to investigate and report back as soon as there is any news."
"No!" The scout was about to leave.
Ying Zheng suddenly thought of something and immediately asked: "What is the method of throwing?"
