Chapter 307: Death
As Liu Chenglin guessed, when Fei Can knew that Liu Chenglin's main force was heading towards Shi Jiawu, he immediately chose Cheng Jiawu as his target of attack.
Fei Can did not think about attacking Cheng Jiawu. For Cheng Jiawu, a medium-sized fortress, without the siege equipment, it would be impossible for him to take down the solid fortress in a short time without the siege equipment. What's more, behind him, there was always a hanging boot ghost, Li De's ranger.
Two cavalrymen were playing the game of catching cats in the vast area of Yingzhou. Speaking of which, Yingzhou should have been Li De’s home court now, but in fact, Fei Can is more familiar with this land.
Fei Can's original intention was to lead the opponent's cavalry into circles and then look for opportunities to give the opponent a fatal blow, but after half a month, he never found a chance to take action. Two times, he almost fell into the trap of the opponent. Li De was indeed not as familiar with this area as the other party, but he led hundreds of cavalry to fight the Henghai Army at that time on the remote land of Texas for half a year. Among them, he took the initiative to attack others and was also being chased by others and was extremely familiar with this combat mode. It was not easy for Fei Can to take advantage of him.
After Fei Can figured out this matter, he immediately gave up this thankless thing and turned to confuse his opponent and tried to widen the gap with his opponent.
Now, the time difference between him and Li De and half a day, that is to say, he has about half a day to attack Cheng Jiawu. In order to achieve this goal, he deliberately created the illusion of attacking another dock. Li De is now heading in that direction. If the other party has not discovered his intention, he may be able to buy more time.
The ideal result is that he creates greater panic and causes greater damage in Chengjiawu. It is best to attract Gao Yang's defenders to help. There are very few defenders in Wuwei, and only the ones who come to help are the palace soldiers. Then he can attack the opponent heavily halfway, and then drive down Yingzhou City to show off his power and then leave.
If you don’t believe that when you arrive at the city of Yingzhou, Liu Chenglin can still march towards Shijiawu in a big way. Lu Long’s purpose is to ensure that Shijiawu will not fall. As long as Shijiawu still exists, it means that Lu Long still has an offensive fulcrum in Yingzhou and can restrain Wuwei’s footsteps.
Lu Long is indeed making a strategic shift now, that is, to transfer the main target of the attack from Hedong to Wuwei. This is the conclusion drawn by Lu Long's upper class after suffering a great loss.
According to Fei Zhong's judgment, the chaos in Guanzhong has been going on in the past two years. If Lu Long wants to gain the greatest benefit in the chaos in Heluo Guanzhong, he must first defeat the newly established Wuwei Town.
Facts have proved that attacking Hedong first is a strategic decision-making mistake. It is not easy to turn around now. They need time, and Lu Long's offensive focus will never be on Yingzhou. Zhang Zhongwu decided to take back Dingzhou and Yizhou first, and then attack Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou with all his strength.
Wuwei now has eleven states, including Yingzhou, but there is no doubt that their essence is still in Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou. These two states account for about one-third of the entire Wude economy, and if the population is one-quarter, if you defeat Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, Wude will break the backbone.
Yingzhou will only be an involvement, but in the early stage, Wude still has an illusion, that is, Li Ze thinks that the Lulong people will put their main battlefields on the regaining Yingzhou.
The time of attack cannot be hidden from others, it can only be after the autumn harvest.
Hedong and Wude are now carrying out an unprecedented blockade of Lu Long. It is quite difficult to obtain food from the outside. Even though there are some channels, what you get is just a drop in the bucket and is not enough to support Zhang Zhongwu to launch a decisive battle. Then starting a war after the autumn harvest becomes the only choice.
When the sun rose from the horizon and spread thousands of rays of rays of light to the earth, and when Yesen Chengjiawu Fort illuminated, the more than 2,000 cavalrymen appeared on the horizon with the sunlight.
The scene that appeared in front of Fei Can was exactly the scene he wanted to see the most.
On the vast and flat land, green crops are growing just in time, and in the fields, countless farmers are busy in the fields. The Chengjiawu Fort Gate is wide open, and the defenseless people are leading cows to drive donkeys in and out.
"Occurrence!" Fei Can's eyes flashed with a happy light. He liked this way of fighting and got the result he wanted without any effort.
The farmers in the fields shouted in horror, rushing towards Chengjiawu, and the wolf smoke was quickly burned up above the fort, and the black smoke rose up, and the warning bell echoed between the heaven and earth.
The whistling war horses flattened the crops growing well, crossed out of the green gauze tent, and quickly approached Chengjiawu. Fei Can saw the fort gate of Chengjiawu closing. He saw a group of soldiers appearing on the wall of the fort, and the farmers locked outside the fort stopped in despair, and then... and then disappeared.
They jumped into the ditches before the fields, which were originally used to irrigate the fields. After Wuwei took Yingzhou, they built large-scale water irrigation facilities, and even last winter, they started construction. Fei Can had seen it when he attacked the previous few docks.
Chengde's killing embryos are indeed stronger than Lu Long people in governing civil affairs. What Lu Long people prefer is to conquer and rob with their own force.
It is precisely because of knowing this that Fei Can know where these farmers are hiding now, which is also their only chance to survive. These farmers hope that the cavalry that rushed towards them would not stop their war horses because of their lowly lives.
Their lives are worthless.
But this time Fei Can didn't think so. If he wanted to create greater panic, he needed to dye it with blood. So he slowed down his horse and said sternly: "Kill them all."
It was just as Fei Can gave this order and all the cavalry and horses were slowly slowing down, the farmers who had just disappeared had reappeared from the hiding ditch, but they appeared with them, and the crossbows they were holding.
A crossbow that has been stringed.
Fei Can's face changed suddenly.
Directly opposite, at least four or five hundred crossbows suddenly appeared.
And he issued the order to slow down and kill people at this moment.
The Lulong cavalry in the front shouted and ran towards both sides, but the one behind was not so lucky. They were rushing towards them, and at the same time they heard the sound of the linolenic crossbow, hundreds of crossbow arrows had already arrived in front of them.
Fei Can's words of trap flashed through his heart, but at this time, he could only grit his teeth and continue to rush forward. He rushed to the front, and while discovering the enemy, he had already relied on equestrianism to go around and avoided the frontal attack of the crossbow. At this moment, he turned his horse's head and launched a charge again.
The power of a crossbow is indeed greater than that of a bow and arrow, but the winding is much slower than that of a bow and arrow. After experiencing the first baptism of a crossbow, they have all had time to disperse the crossbow archers.
But this is not the case.
Because the crossbow archers who had shot the first arrow bent down and picked up another crossbow from under them, and the second round of arrow rain came without stopping.
What's even more terrifying is that behind these crossbow archers, in the green gauze tents, thick crossbow arrows as thick as arms came through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
That was the powerful crossbow fired by the spear chariot.
Fei Can is naturally not unfamiliar with spear cars. Lu Long also has such spear cars, which can install fifteen to eighteen strong crossbows at one time. At this moment, there are probably hundreds of strong crossbows sweeping across it. In other words, there are at least eight to ten spear cars on the back of these crossbow archers.
"Two wings go around!" He turned his horse's head in horror. Such a powerful long-range weapon strike was definitely not something that a fort like Chengjiawu could have. It could only be a regular army of Wude. However, Liu Chenglin was obviously on the road to Shijiawu, and had a mileage of several days away.
In just a moment, Fei Can lost hundreds of knights without any precaution. Fortunately, his subordinates were indeed extremely elite, and the remaining people were divided into two parts, one left and one right around the two wings.
The crossbow archers had already stood up from the hiding ditch. In the green gauze tent behind them, hundreds of armored soldiers rushed out, big shields, spears, horizontal swords, and shiny iron armor were all standard for the martial artists. They stepped forward and wrapped the crossbow archers, forming a small military formation with outer armor and inner archers.
Fei Can rushed into the Qingshiang tent, but the war horse under his crotch fell forward. Almost at the same time Fei Can fell down, cavalrymen screamed and fell down with their men and horses.
There are trunk ropes everywhere in the green gauze tent. These ropes are set up extremely insidiously. None of them is more than one meter, but they are spread all over the place in a random manner. The one in front falls and the one in the back rides to avoid it, but they will still be hit.
The cavalry were forced to stop, waved their weapons, cut down the crops, and saw the scoops everywhere, and felt a sense of powerlessness in everyone's heart. Even if they wanted to clean up, it would not be possible in a short time.
They found that they had only two roads left, either continuing to rush forward or retreating.
When he rushed forward, there was already a strong military formation on the opposite side, so the master could not have to retreat.
As soon as this thought arose in his mind, the sound of war drums sounded from the Wude army. Then, in front of everyone, where they had just passed by, under the ground where there was nothing, large shields were raised on the spot, and crossbows protruded from behind the shield, and soldiers also poured out from both wings, forming another military formation with these people.
The Wude people actually dug out a tunnel on the ground in advance, then covered it with a large shield, covered it with thin soil, and then placed the crops on it.
This is a carefully planned trap.
