Zhuang Fu Lang

Chapter 94: Night Attack

The army went out to meet the enemy, and the remaining soldiers were not idle.Prepared, Tai Qigang immediately ordered people to set up traps outside Guyang Pass, dig trenches, set up horse-riding stakes, and spread iron tribulus.Shen Yanbei was not idle either. Although he didn't know how to fight serious battles, he could still get some gadgets that would add to the chaos of the barbarian cavalry.

No one had invented explosives or drugs these days, but there were firecrackers. When he went to Suiyang City with the military adjutant in charge of procurement that day, he wandered around the city and found that there were many workshops for making firecrackers.It turned out that there were saltpeter and sulfur mines nearby. Craftsmen who made firecrackers collected the ore and processed them into firecrackers.Firecrackers in many counties and prefectures of Daqi are produced here, and they are often purchased by vendors in large quantities and then shipped to other prefectures and counties to make a difference.Therefore, the price of firecrackers is more expensive, and ordinary people are not willing to buy them.

But firecrackers in the original place are not worth a lot of money. Shen Yanbei did not buy firecrackers, but hired people to make firecrackers directly according to the size he gave.

Shen Yanbei has never made □□, he only knows that □□ is made by mixing potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal powder in proportion, but he doesn't have time to study it, and this thing is too dangerous, it will explode if it is not done well.For safety, he just asked the craftsman to increase the dose of gunpowder on the basis of making the most powerful firecrackers, and added something else to it by the way.

There is a war on the border. It is estimated that vendors will not go north to buy firecrackers this year. The craftsmen who made firecrackers were worried that they would not be able to make a lot of money for the New Year this year, but the appearance of Shen Yanbei gave everyone a sigh of relief.

Considering that the battle was just around the corner, Shen Yanbei waved his hand and hired all the craftsmen to make firecrackers for him. In just a few days, he made a large number of larger firecrackers.

Looking at the firecrackers that had been charged, the corner of Shen Yanbei's mouth was slightly bent.The barbarian cavalry dared to come, so he let them taste this unique taste.

It was night, as usual, with soldiers patrolling outside the barracks, and the opposite wasteland was quiet, except for the sound of the howling of the cold wind.

In the handsome tent, the remaining generals gathered together, the military division waved the feather fans, and slowly said: "The army has only been out for one day, and it can't go far. If there is still time to attack the camp at this moment, the barbarians will not return tonight. ."

Some generals were puzzled: "Where are so many barbarians?"

"Urato King Uso today is a very ambitious and crazy man. The opponent may send out all the troops to make a desperate move, or it is possible that our scout sees an illusion." The military commander looked solemnly, "No matter what kind of possibility we cannot take lightly. "If the enemy forces really tune the tiger away from the mountain and hit the west, then they will do their best to let the barbarians come and go!

The generals underneath still don't believe it, their scouts are all experienced people, and it's impossible to look bad!But the military order was like a mountain, everyone still followed Tai Qigang's instructions, and continued to send soldiers to take turns to arrange traps ahead.

The night passed calmly. When Shen Yanbei woke up in the morning, he found that there was no more snow outside, but the temperature dropped sharply, and the cold wind was like a knife, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

The remaining soldiers of the barracks are gathering on the school grounds for drills, the soldiers of the new barracks are practicing the use of □□, and the veterans of the left army are practicing spear strikes.These lances are longer than ordinary spears, and they are improved based on Shen Yanbei's suggestions.A squad of thousands of spears formed a dense formation. The soldiers held the middle and lower part of the spear, with the sharp head of the spear facing up and the tail down, and obliquely pressed against the ground, thereby offsetting the horrible impact of the cavalry.When walking, like a hedgehog with a full body of sharp spines, as long as the cavalry dares to attack, it can directly pierce the opponent.

Thinking about that scene, Shen Yanbei sweated for the other party.The Lancer troops can restrain the cavalry, but unfortunately his wife is a recruit. The cooperation of the recruits is not as good as that of the veterans, and the role of the team is not as great as that of the veterans.

Thinking about this, Shen Yanbei looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling a little worried.

How is his wife's side? Is it going well?

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder lightly, and Shen Yanbei turned his head and smiled, "General."

With his armor in his body, Tai Qi, who is ready to attack at any time, just stood beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Thanks to Lord Shen's advice, if this battle can be won, this general will definitely report your credit to the emperor. You ask for reward."

Shen Yanbei hurriedly said: "The general has made a serious statement, and there is little credit for it. The little skills of carving insects are not enough."

"Master Shen doesn't care about fame and wealth, he is really a gentleman. But Master Shen's contribution can be passed down for generations, as a model to show the world, the emperor will surely reward it." Tai Qigang said, "If Master Shen is willing to accept these false names, Why not exchange it for a decree of marriage?"

Shen Yanbei was taken aback, Tai Qi stared at him straight, his face covered with weather and frost looked serious: "What do you think of Lord Shen?"

Shen Yanbei knew that Tai Qigang was the confidant of Gu Changfeng's father, but he did not expect that Tai Qigang would care about Gu Changfeng's life events so much that he would test him at this time.

but……

Tai Qi Gang's proposal is great!Anyway, the entire military camp knows that he has a secret crush on Gu Changfeng, and he ran to this bitter border in order to give up the prosperity and comfort of Yongjing City. When the war broke out, he went back to Beijing to report his duties and asked Zhao Yu for a marriage decree. It makes sense.

"General Xie raised a point!" Shen Yanbei said with a smile.

Seeing that his face was full of joy, without any reluctance, Tai Qigang let go of his worry a little, and continued to ask: "The son will inherit the position of Lord Zhenguo in the future. I wonder what Lord Shen has any plans?"

Tai Qi was just considered a serious elder, Shen Yanbei did not dare to ridicule, and said sternly: "If he wants to continue to live in Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, he will live in Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, if he does not want to, he will move out." Where does his wife live. Anyway, he has a thick skin and doesn't care if others say he eats soft food.

Tai Qigang asked again: "The birth of the son is bleak with a pregnant mole, and there may be difficulties in giving birth..."

Shen Yanbei replied without thinking about it: "If you can live, you can live. If you can't, it depends on the situation. If he likes it, he will adopt one. If he doesn't like it, let his apprentice give us the end of life." He didn't dare to expect to find someone who suits his liking, let alone thinking about having his own children.Now that he has a daughter-in-law, as for the child, it depends on God's face, and he doesn't force it.After all, he has always treated Gu Changfeng as a man.

Tai Qigang was very satisfied with his reply, and calmed down his face and said, "It will take two days to get to Pingcheng. The eldest son will arrive at Pingcheng in the evening. If the eldest son finds something wrong, he will immediately return for help. If we can't take the barbarian attacked People, as long as they survive these two days."

"So Master Shen doesn't have to worry."

This……?Shen Yanbei touched his nose and didn't give much explanation. He smiled and said: "What the general said is extremely true."

After Tai Qi had just left, Shen Yanbei turned and went to the blacksmith to retrieve the pocket arrow that the blacksmith had punched according to the size he gave.He has made an upgraded version of the pocket-sized crossbow. The crossbow body is half smaller, and it is easy to carry. It is more suitable for ordinary people like him with little strength.

I went to the shooting range and tried it, and the effect was not bad.Shen Yanbei was eager to try, but he didn't notice anything unusual until Twilight Sihe.

No one dares to relax, all the soldiers lie down in armor.

In the middle of the night, it was cold and windy, and some black spots quietly appeared on the other side of the wasteland. As time went by, these black spots became more and more, more and more, coming like a tide, like a huge net. Chaoguyangguan rushed over...

"Report! Fifty miles to the east of Guyang Guan, traces of barbarian cavalry were found, the number is about tens of thousands!" The scout who responded was also frightened.A huge army of the other party came to kill, but the sound was extremely small, if they hadn't been staring at it, they wouldn't find it!

Who would have thought that these barbarian cavalry would be so clever that they would have wrapped their horseshoes in cloth!

The generals who didn't believe that barbarians would attack at night stared wide when they heard this, but Tai Qigang and the military commander looked at each other, and they all looked like this.

These barbarians, who are used to looking for trouble in the middle of the night, finally chose to attack at this time. Fortunately, they did not change their life, otherwise they would launch an attack in the daytime, and the power of many traps they set would be greatly reduced.

"Report! Fifty miles to the north of Guyang Pass, traces of barbarian cavalry were found, about 20,000 in number!"

"Report! Sixty miles to the south of Guyang Pass, traces of barbarian cavalry were found, about 20,000 in number!"

Scout Pegasus returned one after another, and fifty thousand barbarian cavalry came surging!

The drums rumbled, and the soldiers who had been prepared quickly assembled on the school ground.

"All the soldiers obey the orders!" Tai Qigang stood on the high platform, looking at the neatly lined soldiers below with a stern expression, the scar on his forehead trembling, "Follow me to fight the enemy and kill the barbarians without leaving a piece of armor!"

"Slay the barbarians, without leaving a piece of armor!"

"Slay the barbarians and leave no piece of armor!!"

The mountain cried, all the soldiers moved, Tai Qigang took the lead in the attack.

"Ah--" Suddenly a scream sounded, and a barbarian cavalry company sprinting on a horse fell with a horse.Immediately afterwards, similar situations occurred one after another, and countless barbarians rushed into the ground like scallions.The cavalry behind did not have time to stop, so they fell.

A deep trench appeared in front of the trench, under the trench were sharp bamboo thorns, and the barbarian cavalry who had planted them were strung together.

The sudden accident disrupted the pace of the offensive, killing many cavalry in just one trench.But there was more than one trench, and the entire Guyang Pass was all over the trenches. They took advantage of the night to march quickly, and one fell into a trap inadvertently, causing thousands of people to break.

When Sambuganda received the news, his face suddenly changed and immediately reported to Uso.

The man's eyes were extremely gloomy.Why is there a trap?Was it Daqi's previous preparation, or did he see through his strategy?

No, it is impossible to see through his strategy. Da Qi did send most of his troops, and now there are less than 30,000 people in the pass!

Don't miss the opportunity!The man flicked his whip and shouted, "Continue to attack!"

"Yes!" Sambuganda led the way.

But the cavalry continued to advance, the more traps they encountered on the road.Hearing that the casualties of the cavalry were increasing, the cold sweat of Sambuganda remained.

"Khan, Daqi people must know our strategy to set so many traps on the road! The subordinates think that they should stop the attack immediately!"

The man slammed his whip, startling the admonishing general.

"Do you really doubt Ben Khan's leadership?" The man's face was pale, his narrow gray eyes looked at the general coldly.

"The subordinates dare not, it's just..." The general swallowed against his devastating gaze, and stopped quickly.

"Usangge's blessed iron cavalry is invincible, and the mere trenches scared your guts?" The man sneered and rolled his whip in his hands. "If you are a man, go with Ben Dahan and go with the incompetent stupid People step on their feet!"

"Don't sweat it!" Sambuganda jumped up to stop the man from personally conquering.The grasslands barely converge together. If men appear to be short and long, this temporary alliance will definitely split.

"Get away!" The man kicked Sambuganda away and walked straight out of the king's account.

The gale screamed, the army flags hunted, and the intensive drums banged, shaking people's eardrums.The horse heads in front of him were moving, and the night seemed to be overturned by the galloping horse.

Surrounded by guards, the man rode his horse to kill the enemy.He thought it was an exhaustive plan, but the wailing of soldiers from the front made his eyes red.

what happened?

"Report! Daqi people didn't know what poison was used, which made our soldiers and horses go crazy!"

Just now, I didn’t know what was going to explode in the darkness. I only heard a huge explosion sound, and there was a flash of fire. Then the cavalry nearby suddenly coughed heartbreakingly, and the horses neighed frantically. Overturned the cavalry.Many of the cavalry who fell to the ground lost their lives under their horses, while the mad horses rushed into the ground, and other cavalry nearby suffered successive losses.The scene was extremely out of control, the Daqi people were still opposite, and they themselves killed each other.

If it was daylight, the barbarian cavalry would definitely find that after the explosion sounded, countless red dust was exploded into the air, mixed with dust and enveloped the barbarian cavalry like a fog.

"Sweat! The despicable Daqi people must have set up a sea of ​​swords and flames to wait for us to jump down. This trip is too dangerous, you should go back to camp first!" Sambuganda persuaded with heartfelt words.

The man gritted his teeth, the resentment in his eyes was about to overflow his eyes.

"Ah--" a guard screamed suddenly, and in the light of the sky, a short arrow without tail feathers could be seen in his chest.

Sambuganda was shocked: "This is the new weapon invented by the people of Daqi! The lethality is very powerful!" As he said, the guard planted another arrow and rolled down his chest, clutching his chest.

"Kill!!!" The shouts were overwhelming and went straight into the sky.The Daqi soldiers who covered their mouths with wet cloth towels, under the leadership of Tai Qigang and other generals, plunged like a sharp arrow into the heart of the barbarian cavalry.

The spearman advances in front, his hand shoots and kills the enemy in the back, and the others beheaded on both sides.The Daqi infantry, who had always heard about the discoloration of the barbarian cavalry, now changed their mindset, bravely and fearlessly killed many barbarian cavalry in the chaos.

There were more and more barbarian cavalry who fell, and Sambuganda was frightened: "Sweat!"

"Ah—" The man was about to split, his red eyes staring at Daqi's spearman to dismount his cavalry who had rushed over, and he roared unwillingly: "Retreat!"
