Zhao Ping didn't hesitate: "Leave five thousand troops and the rest to rescue Gao Taixiang."
When I heard that troops were going to be sent to Jinshachuan, I was most happy not the soldiers of the security regiment, but the cavalry from Qi State.
They originally didn't have much confidence in fighting against the Hu people, but in Jiuhe they witnessed the security team beat up the Hu people's bow cavalry with their own eyes.
The little saint promised to give prizes to the winners, and they were big prizes.
But in Jiuhe, they started to wait and see, so that they missed the opportunity.
This time, in Jinshachuan, the cavalry from Qi State would not waste the opportunity at all.
Boom, boom, boom, dust rose from the ground, and more than 10,000 cavalry set off towards Jinsha River.
Gao Taixiang's proficiency in the art of war and his layout should be remarkable.
Regarding the Hu cavalry, Gao Taixiang thought carefully.
The Hu people are cavalry and bow cavalry. They can easily take advantage of them on flat terrain.
The battlefield he was looking for was a rolling hillside that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which could minimize the advantage of the barbarian archers and cavalry.
Gao Taixiang arranged for three ten thousand captains, Gao Miao, Gao Lin, and Gao Sen, to be stationed in three valleys respectively.
Gao Miao and the other three are either Gao Taixiang's sons or nephews, so they can show their loyalty.
Although a large group of troops were in the valley, almost five thousand troops were still arranged to guard the mountain.
This is a dilemma. The top of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a lack of water.
The valley is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but there is water, so the main troops and horses are still guarding the valley.
Gao Taixiang at the mouth of the three valleys did not let go and built a simple mountain gate each.
The valley mouths of the three valleys are aimed at the ferry, occupying all the key routes for the Hu people to go south.
The three valleys rely on each other and can also support each other.
The mountain gate is built with rocks, and there is something to resist horses in front of it.
In Gao Taixiang's view, this move can be used to attack and retreat, and it is simply impeccable.
Gao Taixiang didn't fight against the barbarians, so he still had some confidence.
But not long after fighting against the barbarians, he was immediately beaten into confusion.
The Hu people did not go out with bows and cavalry, but chariots and whirlwind cannons.
Wu Liang Hetai was beaten by Zhaojiazhuang in Xi County, but he learned many things.
For example, Zhaojiazhuang's tanks, cyclone cannons, table arrays, etc., these are simply dimensionality-reducing blows to Dali.
For the Dali soldiers defending on the hillside, he immediately sent out chariots, tornado cannons, and table arrays.
The soldiers of Dali Kingdom were condescending, waiting for the Hu people to attack.
The first wave of the Hu people's attack was a test attack by the cavalry who dismounted. The Dali soldiers used wood and rolling stones to defeat them very easily.
Not long after they were happy, the Hu people began their second wave of attacks.
The barbarians concentrated all their cyclone cannons and fired thunderbolts towards a valley.
The soldiers of Dali Kingdom were immediately beaten and dumbfounded. They screamed repeatedly and had no time to protect themselves. A gap was suddenly broken.
The Hu people were overjoyed, and two to three thousand cavalry rushed in through the gap.
At the critical moment, Gao Taixiang's son Gao Miao played a huge role.
With a thousand personal soldiers, he risked his life on both sides of the gap and threw ignited thunderbolts with all his strength.
Dali Kingdom also made thunder, but its power was not good, and its power was only 10% of that of Zhaojiazhuang.
What they went into battle this time was supported or purchased by Zhaojiazhuang, and it was extremely powerful.
Suddenly the entire valley was filled with smoke, and it was almost impossible to see people and horses.
Amidst the explosions of thunder and lightning, there were also the screams of men and horses.
The Hu cavalry suffered heavy losses and had to stop the attack.
Although Gao Miao won, he paid a heavy price.
The Hu people's archers and cavalry were really powerful. Under such circumstances, they also severely damaged Gao Miao's personal camp.
Gaomiao had a thousand soldiers, hundreds died, four hundred were seriously injured, and almost everyone else was injured.
When the barbarians saw that their plan failed, they made another plan.
Still, the cyclone cannon opened a gap, and then let the barbarians resist the wet quilt and attack from the valley.
Seeing that the barbarians resisted the attack of the Eight Immortals Table, some Dali soldiers opened their mouths so wide that they could hardly close them, and could almost fit a duck egg into them.
"Do the barbarians want to eat here? Aren't they afraid of our attack?" Some Dali soldiers couldn't help laughing.
Gao Taixiang's nephew Gao Lin, a captain of ten thousand men, kicked the soldiers away with his feet: "Shut up and cheer up. It is impossible for the barbarians to eat here. They were repulsed just now. This must be a kind of attack." weapon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the barbarians in the valley started firing arrows with all their might.
Under the cover of the Hu people's arrows, the Hu people resisted the Eight Immortals Table and attacked the Dali Kingdom's position from the valley.
This time the Hu people's attack was not very fast, as if they were advancing slowly.
"Rolling stones, beating trees." Gao Lin shouted when he saw this.
This is a common practice for attacking the body, and Dali is no exception.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, when the rolling wood and rolling stone hit the Eight Immortals Table, it was suddenly stopped by the Eight Immortals Table.
Gao Lin was surprised when he saw this.
But he immediately reacted and shouted loudly: "Hang Tian Lei, Hong Tian Lei."
Boom, boom, thunder began to explode as the attacking barbarians exploded.
Seeing this, Gao Lin couldn't help laughing.
But his smile immediately became dull, his eyes almost fell out of their sockets, and he couldn't close his jaw for a long time.
The Hu people immediately raised the Eight Immortals Table upwards, causing most of Dali's thunderbolts to fall instantly.
In this way, the Hu people paid a small price and captured the valleys on both sides.
The Hu people fought steadily and continued to break through. The valleys of the three Gao Miao people were attacked by the Hu people one after another.
The three Gao Miao soldiers were defeated like a mountain and suffered heavy losses. They were finally forced to retreat to the valley where Gao Taixiang was.
Fortunately, the valley where Gao Taixiang was located was extremely steep, so the barbarians had to climb up and found it difficult to attack with the Eight Immortals Table.
Gao Taixiang learned his lesson: the valley is not a mountain gate, but a pass built into it.
This pass is about three feet long and has a gate.
This pass is not built with rocks, but with fairy cement.
Naturally, this immortal cement was not produced in Dali, but in Zhaojiazhuang.
In order to build this pass, Gao Taixiang used all the immortal cement.
When Wu Lianghetai saw this valley, it was difficult to capture it for a while.
He sent out iron cannons to bombard the pass.
Iron cannons are extremely powerful and can destroy city walls.
Boom, boom, boom, seeing the barbarians firing cannons, all the Dali soldiers broke out in cold sweat.
The three of them, Gao Miao, stood on the city wall at the pass, feeling uneasy. They all seemed to have fifteen buckets of water in their hearts, rising and falling.
"I heard that the barbarians have a kind of firearm that can destroy city walls. Is it this?" Gao Lin licked his dry lips and swallowed hard.
Gao Sen thought for a while and shook his head: "Hu people do have this thing, but it can be used against that kind of earth wall, but it is difficult to destroy stone walls."
"The little saint is made of immortal concrete made of immortal cement. I heard it is impregnable and harder than a stone wall. There should be no problem." Gao Miao hurriedly encouraged his men.
Gao Lin sighed: "The immortal concrete of the little saint is indeed good, but it's a pity that the time is short. I wonder if it will work?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the barbarians' iron cannons had already fired.
Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang, stone bullets hit the pass wall.
A happy smile appeared on Gao Miao's face: "Fortunately, the immortal concrete is indeed not comparable to a stone wall, and it doesn't even move at all."
"It's a pity that 70% of the troops and horses were lost, and now there are less than 10,000 troops and horses." Gao Lin sighed, with a troubled look on his face.
A smile appeared on Gao Miao's lips: "It doesn't matter, my father has already sent out a fast horse to ask for support."
"All the elite soldiers of Dali are here, and there are soldiers and horses to support them?" Gao Lin looked frustrated.
Gao Miao's lips curved into a joking smile: "It's impossible to count on the Dali Kingdom. Hasn't the little saint already sent troops?"
"I heard that the little saint didn't send many troops, and he still wants to persuade Qi State. I'm afraid there won't be enough time." Gao Lin sighed heavily, with a look of frustration on his face.
Gao Miao took out the "Da Song Zhonghua News" and immediately comforted him: "Have you read the Little Sage's "War Theory"?"
"I have seen this before. It would be great if the little saint directly sent troops to the Dali Kingdom. Why did he have to go through a big circle through the Ziqi Kingdom?" Gao Lin looked confused and asked blankly.
Gao Miao thought for a while and then slowly said: "Little saints naturally have their own principles. In fact, sending troops is also a science. If you send more troops and horses, Dali must have its own ideas. If you send fewer troops, it will not have much effect. "
"So the little saint wants to borrow troops from Qi State?" Gao Sen, who had been silent, suddenly realized.
Gao Miao nodded appreciatively: "Zi Qi is not weak in combat power and can borrow troops. This big battle won't be a big problem."
"The king of Ziqi Kingdom does not have much appeal. The thirty-seven ghost masters are kings themselves. They listen to orders but not announcements. I think the little saint may not be able to borrow soldiers and horses from Ziqi Kingdom." Gao Lin frowned and said worriedly.
A faint smile appeared on Gao Miao's face, and his tone was full of confidence: "Others may not be able to do it, but the little saint naturally has his own way."
"The little saint may have his own ideas, but is there still enough time? These are thirty ghost masters, and they have to be persuaded one after another. I don't know how much time it will take." Gao Lin is not as optimistic as Gao Miao.
Gao Miao's lips curved into a smile: "It should be soon. I heard that the little saint has become the prince-in-law of the Qi Kingdom. He is famous for his apprenticeship."
"The little saint has become the prince-in-law of the Qi Kingdom?" Gao Sen secretly looked at Gao Miao, then smiled bitterly, worried, "I heard that the prime minister is not planning to betroth his daughter to him, what should I do?"
"This, the father has his own arrangements. The key now is that the little saint borrows troops from Ziqi Kingdom in time, arrives in Dali Kingdom in time, and comes here in time, is the key." Gao Miao's old face turned the color of pig liver, embarrassed. Incessantly.
This little lady is his sister, and he doesn't know what to do when faced with so many love rivals for his sister.
Gao Taixiang was in the Chinese army camp, not in the mood to drink tea, and kept wandering around the case.
If it were just inside the valley, their troops would most likely be surrounded and annihilated by the barbarians.
If the barbarians attack Gao Taixiang from the top of the mountain, they will have no choice but to die.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to send troops and horses to guard the tops of the mountains on three sides to prevent the barbarians from sneaking attacks.
So he sent three thousand soldiers and horses to station on the top of the mountain to guard the key places.
But this is only a temporary measure and cannot last long. Reinforcements are necessary to survive.
Gao Taixiang looked at the pass in the distance and murmured: "Little saint, when will your rescue troops arrive here?"
