Ten days later.
King Shang Guo was sitting on the throne, his whole person looked gloomy and terrifying, his whole body was trembling slightly, and he could tell that he had encountered something very bad.
"Pah, pah, pah!!!!"
Suddenly he kept patting the table.
"Among all the officials in the dynasty, no one has a solution?"
"Our entire Shang Kingdom's ministers and generals have been tricked by that little thief Yang Qian!!!"
The minister, who still couldn't see the situation clearly, immediately stepped forward and handed over.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about something?"
The king flicked his hand and the two bamboo slips were thrown out, looking a little crazy.
"Everyone is very happy to receive an army of 300,000 people, but haven't you thought about it? How much rations will be consumed in a day for an army of 300,000 people? And war horses?"
"There are so many of you, but you haven't seen the evil thief Yang Gan's female tactic? They usually pretend to be powerful in front of me, but now even Young Master Mu hasn't been released yet."
The words just fell.
For an instant, the entire palace was silent, and cold sweat appeared on the faces of the ministers.
Even the people with clan power had ugly expressions on their faces.
At this time, a minister came out, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, only Lord Wu An can come up with such a plan."
"But this is a conspiracy, we must accept it. If the 300,000 troops are outside and learn that we are unwilling to open the city gate, then the people of Shangguo will lose their hearts and the country will be ruined."
The king snorted coldly.
"You've said everything I can say, so why don't you tell me what you can do?"
The minister said nothing and looked at the man standing in the corner with an indifferent expression.
Everyone followed their gazes, and their pupils suddenly shrank, and some people even bared their teeth, their teeth itching with hatred.
"Han Jingtong, you were the one who pushed for the attack on Xia Kingdom. Now that it's like this, why don't you come up with some ideas?"
Han Jingtong was slightly surprised, but didn't express much.
"Your Majesty, Yang Qian has always been despicable and unscrupulous in doing things, but there is no need to panic. I have two strategies to defeat him."
The king suddenly became energetic.
"Sir, please speak!"
He is worthy of being born in the royal palace. Even though he is a dandy, his political wisdom is not inferior to that of ordinary nobles.
Immediately throw all questions to Han Jingtong.
Han Jingtong's face was indifferent, as if he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands.
"I have to say that Yang Gan's conspiracy is very powerful, but I have two preparations. One is to organize a large army to break out. The opponent has fewer people than us. This is a flaw. We have the strength to attack head-on."
"Secondly, send two teams. One team goes to Liao State to take my token to move reinforcements, and the other team goes to Xingguo. It will have pros and cons for Xingguo."
"There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overthrown. The Xia Kingdom is very powerful. Sooner or later, the Xing Kingdom will be attacked by the Xia Kingdom."
The great dynasty looked at the first person to take action.
"Le Ding, what do you think?"
Le Deng handed over his hand, "Mr. Han's strategy is quite satisfactory. The general believes that it is best to implement both strategies together."
"If we can successfully break through, we can attack Xia's army from both inside and outside!"
"Okay, then let the general carry out this plan."
"promise!"
Le Ding immediately walked outside.
After arriving at the military camp in the city, Le Ding immediately felt bad. The situation was more difficult than he imagined.
It is best to break through with chariots or cavalry, but there are hardly many horses in the city. The most important thing is that without armor, can you break through with flesh and blood?
Suddenly, he had no confidence in his heart. This was the first time in so many years that he had no confidence to fight.
But he knew that fighting like this would definitely not work, he could only use tactics! .z.
"Come here, arrange four teams for me immediately, three teams of a thousand men, equipped with armor and swords, and another team of 50,000 people, equipped with as many war horses as possible."
"promise
! "
Le Ding frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. There were a lot of people, and the equipment was fine. However, the weapons, armor, and horses were missing too much.
I opened the bamboo slips that recorded the materials, looked at them for a while, and then suddenly slapped the table.
"Yang Gan'er is really not a son of a human being."
Almost all the armor, weapons, horses, and food of the four to five million troops fell into Yang Gan's hands.
Shang Guo was so unlucky this time that his mother didn't even recognize him.
Fortunately, it was Fu Yan, as there would never be that much equipment available elsewhere.
This is why Yang Qian has been asking the foundry in Yuntong County to cast weapons and armor day and night, at least 2 to 5 pieces per manpower.
As the same saying goes, I don’t have to use things, but I must have them. If I want to use them but don’t have them at the critical moment, I’ll be in trouble.
Today, it's the same as usual.
Groups of cavalry were patrolling outside Fuyan City. Although the place seemed large, it was actually just four doors.
What's wrong with three and one missing? It's not time yet, now is the time to oppress them with momentum.
A small group of cavalry dragged the carriage in the designated direction.
"Quhou, do you know? I heard that another fleet arrived nearby today and brought a lot of beer."
Qu Hou, who was walking at the front, raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but lick the corners of his mouth.
"Seriously, that thing is a rare thing. I heard that the production is limited. Why is it shipped here again?"
The soldier was smiling.
"I heard that due to the bumper grain harvest, production has been expanded this year, but sales are so good that supply exceeds demand."
"Quhou, don't look at who is in the camp. Almost all the generals with famous names from our frontier army are gathered here. According to the quotas of each army, there will be no shortage of beer."
Qu Hou touched his beard and his mind had already flown to the camp. Beer and meat were a perfect match.
"etc!"
Suddenly, a soldier shouted sharply.
The soldiers who had just come to chat and chatted immediately stood ready.
"what happened?"
The observing soldier held a telescope and looked serious.
"No, the city gate is open."
Everyone followed the soldiers' eyes and saw the huge city gate slowly opening, and a large number of cavalry suddenly poured out like a tide.
"No, please call for help!"
The soldiers in the carriage immediately made a call.
"Hey, we are the East Gate patrol team here. We found that there are thousands of cavalry appearing at the East Gate, and they seem to be trying to break out."
"Copy that, defend on the spot, we'll come right away!"
"promise!"
"Quhou, let us defend on the spot!"
"Open the carriage, speed!"
"promise!"
There were only two to three hundred cavalrymen on patrol, but there were more than twenty carriages. The soldiers quickly fixed the carriages, removed the roof, and started tinkering.
The other soldiers began to draw their bows and nock arrows, waiting for the opponent to enter the shooting range before launching an attack.
There was a touch of disdain on the faces of the soldiers. If they were competing on the same stage, such a team of two hundred people could only be harassed a little.
But fighting Shang Guo was different. The opponent's cavalry did not have stirrups. With their horse skills, they could only shoot arrows when they stopped.
If the speed drops, then the cavalry is a joke.
"We're in range, cum for me!!!!"
"Whoosh whoosh!!!"
A volley of bows and crossbows shot down a dozen of the galloping cavalry.
The generals led by Shang Guo were immediately overjoyed. The cavalry was not very powerful, but the cavalry was fast and could definitely avoid more arrows.
Qu Hou also drew his bow and shot an arrow, and shouted to the people beside him, "Are you okay? They are coming soon. They can fight back when they reach Juma!"
"Right away, right away!"
When the last latch is in, connect the wires, turn on the battery, soldier
His eyes couldn't help but shine.
Standing directly on the side of the carriage and holding up the huge bed crossbow, the soldier couldn't help but admire in his heart that such a heavy thing could be easily lifted and grasped. It must be said that the madmen in Yuntong County really have some tricks.
"Brothers, I've assembled it, pick it up and let me cum!!!"
"Hahaha, mine is fine too!!!"
More than twenty small single-bow crossbows were all heading towards the cavalry not far away.
When everyone presses the switch at the same time.
The sound of "sizzling" mechanical gears kept ringing.
"Whoosh~~~whoosh~~~whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The huge arrowhead, one meter in length and as thick as a spear, shot towards the cavalry like lightning and flint.
"Pffffffffffffffffffffff!!!"
A large number of crossbow arrows were fired into the cavalry group. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers fell from their horses and fell from their horses.
A large number of war horses were shot through the neck, or turned into hedgehogs.
In just six or seven seconds, another wave of crossbow arrows came, knocking the thousands of cavalrymen off their backs.
"Ah~~~~!!!!"
"Help, help!!!!"
"Run, run quickly, you can't get out!!!"
The remaining cavalry immediately retreated towards the back.
The remaining two gates were also strongly blocked. When the army of ten thousand people arrived, these thousand cavalry were almost beaten to death by the horses.
The biggest commotion was at one of the city gates with 50,000 people. The two sides were fighting and firing crossbows at each other.
Although there are 50,000 people, there are only 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry. They can fight back quickly with bows.
The shortcomings of the simple single-bow bed crossbow are exposed.
To aim and shoot with a bed crossbow is not as simple as it sounds. To put it bluntly, it requires technical talents, and it has to be operated by two or three people.
Someone still needs to put in the arrowheads.
There was originally an arrow box, but unfortunately, the arrowheads were larger, and the arrow box was even larger, which easily blocked the view.
Once the quiver is used, there is no place to install the magnifier made of the telescope.
But the flaw is also very big. When the opponent comes to shoot arrows, they can only rely on two or three soldiers holding shields to help cover them, otherwise they will be easily shot.
Technical talents will have trouble shooting.
Because there are tunnels and horses in the middle, the two sides basically shoot at each other with arrows.
At this point, Xia Jun almost had an absolute advantage.
The armor has strong defense, but if the arrow is shot in the wrong place, most of the arrows will be bounced away. The horse may suffer the most damage.
In order to prepare for the rush to the rescue, they are either wind-controlling troops or light cavalry. In order to maintain a strong speed, these cavalry are almost not equipped with horse armor.
Whenever a soldier is injured, he will be led by a military doctor to run towards the rear on his horse, so that he can receive the most timely treatment.
