In the early morning, a mile north of the river, there was a little dim fire in the wilderness, flashing lightly and darkly. It was a bonfire that was about to extinguish. Before dawn, the last flame bloomed.

The Qi soldiers camping in the wilderness can have at least two horses, so the marching speed is very fast, and when camping in the wilderness, they are divided into very different places, so the alert range is very large.

Many people have empty Hu Lu's head (cylindrical leather arrow pouch). Gradually, some people hear the buzzing sound coming from Hu Lu.

Although the sound was weak, the experienced veteran could still hear it. This was the vibration caused by the horse's hooves stomping on the ground, and the "resonance" caused by Hu Lu.

So, many people came on horseback.

The camping soldiers fell asleep in armor, and they all waited for the battle. When they found that the "guests" had arrived, they immediately got up and prepared to fight.

This is near a small river, and the troops in the two groups are divided into two groups, resting on their own.

I camped in the grass a mile on the north bank of the river, lit a bonfire, for fear of being inconspicuous.

Another one was in the woods to the west, silent, and there was no light in the dark woods.

The Liang army's cavalry seemed to be in the northwest. If the other party came to the dark, it would normally be necessary to pass the woods first.

However, the night attack team must be wary of hidden whistles in the woods, so they will bypass the woods from afar.

So, when the other party passes through the woods, the ambush is rushing out of the forest...?

No, most of the soldiers camped on bonfires, and they were baits and hunters.

There were only a few people in the woods, as secret whistles, to beware of visitors coming into the woods first, and then heading east to carry out night attacks.

The soldiers of Qi were ready to take their mounts and walked slowly southward, giving them the vast wild grass bushes on the north side full of grass knots to the visitors.

The weeds are lush, and the ends of the two long grasses are tied together, like an arch. As long as the grass bundle is thick enough, it can trip people.

Although it may not be able to trip the horse's hooves, the appropriately arranged many tripping ropes are enough to allow the galloping cavalry to turn their backs.

The Qi soldiers who retreated to the river bank were almost ready to get on the horse, and were waiting for the enemy to rush to be in chaos due to the "grass formation", and they could disperse them in one fell swoop.

When riding a horse and fighting, even at night, they were not afraid of the Southern cavalry with poor riding skills. The other party's performance in the night and fighting will definitely not be much better.

Of course, visitors may come from the south of the river, but the Qi soldiers gathered by the river can also respond effectively.

However, just as the "hunters" held their breath and waited for the rabbit, the hunting dogs suddenly roared.

The "hunters" did not carry the hounds, so the hounds were human.

A large number of dog barking came from the west side of the woods. The boiling screams pierced the quiet night sky, which surprised the soldiers of the Qi army:

It seemed as if they were night attackers, attacking a village in the dark, but the dogs guarding the village started to yell, which was very lively.

Screams and shouts came from the woods. It seemed that the companions in the woods were attacked by dogs and bitten miserably.

But how did these dogs come from? Why didn’t you hear the dog barking before?

As soon as doubt emerged, a fire suddenly burst out from the riverside, and the shouts rang out.

However, some Liang soldiers who were going downstream ignited the small bamboo trays that floated down together, causing them to float along the river.

The bamboo stems of the bamboo seem to contain flammable objects, so the fire is very fierce when burned. Although it cannot harm people, the flashing fire lights illuminate the river bank.

In the wilderness of the south bank, a group of black shadows appeared, slowly approaching the riverside, and fired arrows to the soldiers in the dark in the bright spots.

The Liang soldiers who released the "Fire Bamboo Platoon" went up the south bank and ran towards their companions. The Qi soldiers did not know the truth and did not cross the river to pursue them. They slowly retreated and retreated outside the area illuminated by the fire.

Prepare to get on the horse and retreat eastward.

The soldiers of the Qi army were a little depressed when they waited for the rabbit to fight like this, but they could only adapt to the situation and attack the invading enemy.

In the dark wilderness, the cavalry cannot rush to attack, and it is not easy to ride a horse and travel in the dark. They have to guard against the Liang soldiers' attacks on foot at night, by setting a distance.

At this moment, fire suddenly appeared on the south bank, and sharp whistles sounded, and a large number of light spots gushed out, heading towards the north bank.

Under the night, in the dark wilderness, there seemed to be a large group of wild bees flying, dancing with their burning wings, rushing forward frantically.

If you hit a person or a horse, or fall to the ground, there will still be a fire, but the whistle will stop abruptly.

The sudden light of fire and sharp whistle scared the mounts of Qi soldiers to stir up. Soon, the Qi soldiers discovered that the "fire bees" flying in were feather arrows.

A long paper tube is tied under the feather arrow. The end of the tube is sprayed with flames and hits a person. The arrowhead has little impact, but the flame will burn the skin.

There is a whistle at the front of the long tube, which seems to be the reason for making the sound.

Their war horses were not afraid of the sound of gongs and drums, horns and other battlefield movements, but they had never experienced such strange sounds. They were intimidated, regardless of whether there were people riding on their backs or whether the reins were pulled by people, they soon ran away in all directions.

The firelight illuminated the panicked figures, the horse shadows, and the ready Liang soldiers on the south bank, and shouted after the firearm called "Flying Squawks" were released.

Walking towards the river, it seems that I want to cross the river and fight with Qi troops.

The Qi soldiers and horses were out of control and could not gather at least for a while. These brave and warlike cavalrymen temporarily lost their mounts and turned into infantrymen. It was impossible to escape, so they prepared to fight.

The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and across a river, it was shot against each other by flashing flames.

After a while, Liang Bing released a "swarm swarm". This weapon with a barrel appearance is not heavy and can be carried easily by one person, so it is easy to carry and is very large.

Its style is that a paper tube is tied to the shaft of an ordinary feather arrow. After igniting the tail of the paper tube, it will spit fire and fly forward with a feather arrow.

Also, because there is a bamboo whistle at the front of the thick velvet tube, it will make a sharp whistle sound when flying. The noise generated when casting can cause a strong frightening effect on horses who have never seen such a situation.

These feather arrows are housed in a barrel-shaped thick-brown carton (shelled with bamboo) like a honeycomb. They are not very heavy and easy to carry.

It was placed on the ground, lined up in a row, with hundreds of steps in the east and west. The "barrel" faced the north shore, and a fire was sprayed.

After the release of rounds, sparks were everywhere in the wilderness. Qi soldiers were attacked by such firearms and did not suffer much casualties, but the horses were scared and ran away.

And the Liang Bing is just a river.

The east was white and the sky was dawn. The Qi army soldiers' eyes expanded. They looked around and found that the war horses had already run away and were even missing. Then they realized that something was wrong: they had fallen into the trap!

The enemy's target is not a human, but a horse.

The other party wants to drive the horse away and leave people behind.

When the cavalry loses its horse, it becomes an infantryman, and its four legs become two legs. It is trapped in this wilderness and cannot escape.

The sound of horse hooves came, and many Liang cavalry appeared on the south bank, then ran downstream, crossing the river several miles downstream.

Some people chased the scattered Qi army cavalry and gathered the scattered war horses.

Some people blocked the way eastward of the horse-ridden soldiers by the river.

Liang Sen, who led the cavalry to capture the enemy's retreat, was very satisfied when he watched the enemy's "man and horse separation" in the wilderness.

When fighting, you have to use your brain and not do it recklessly. This is what Li Li often says, and Liang Sen often reminds himself that he should not become a reckless man who can only lead troops to run wildly.

When cavalry does not have an advantage in their military strength and the number of horses, it is not easy for one side to wipe out the other side.

Because cavalry can't run away if they can't beat them, and head-on confrontation will inevitably lead to losses from one's own side.

Liang Sen had nearly a thousand cavalry under his command, and the opponent's troops were about the same, but he had more horses. It was almost impossible to fight in the plains and encircle and wipe out the opponent, so he thought of a solution.

Because the night bound the "energy" of the cavalry, the way he came up with was to attack at night, use the hunting dog to track it, and then the main force touched it from the flank.

Use the experimental weapon to "bee in a swarm" to create a frightening effect such as sound and light, and rely on the "spell" like "wild bees flying" to scare away the opponent's war horses.

Now, the enemy's war horses were indeed scared away, so the next battle would be much easier.

Liang Sen looked around and ordered: "Take all the horses away first, and these horseless soldiers should be cleaned up slowly!"
