Chapter 87: Zhuge Fei Offers Advice
After an inventory and a round of mutual testing with the Tengjia Army, nearly a thousand people were killed in the Yunfeng Army's infantry company and the Qiang Army, which was a heavy loss. The Tengjia Army left almost the same number of corpses, most of which were hit by war horses.
They died or were killed by heavy weapons such as trebuchets, crossbows, etc., but the number of people killed by swords and guns was pitifully less than fifty.
Faced with this result, Yunfeng was speechless. If he encountered the Tengjia Army in the mountains, the battle would really be unwinnable. The cavalry could not climb the mountain, and heavy weapons such as crossbows and trebuchets could not go up the mountain. If they used infantry
Fighting against soldiers, even though martial arts is a common practice in his army, they are immune to physical attacks such as slashing and stabbing, so it is just a waste of their own lives.
Attacking with fire is even more difficult. The painful lesson of 30,000 ancestors being burned to death by Zhuge Liang is still vivid in our minds. How can we be fooled so easily again?
What made him feel a little better was that a total of 800 pairs of rattan armor were seized. He was even thinking about whether he would go into battle with personal guards wearing rattan armor and armed with heavy weapons such as maces and axes.
However, Yunfeng was hesitant. He wanted to divide the personal guards and the army into two systems. The army was dedicated to conventional operations, while the personal guards were transformed into a special organization that existed in all dynasties and even in the Red Dynasty in Europe and the United States. It was only used for
In terms of performing special tasks and collecting intelligence, however, currently, the guards are affiliated with the army in terms of organization. Yunfeng hopes to gradually reduce the regular operations of the guards in order to separate themselves from the army.
While he was thinking, **** stepped forward and saluted: "General, you are ready."
It turned out that Yunfeng ordered a half-damaged rattan armor to be hung on a wooden stake to test the defensive limit of the rattan armor.
Yunfeng nodded and said: "Let's go over and have a look." The generals at all levels in the army, the leader of the personal guards, Jiang Fa, and even Zhuge Fei followed him with the help of the maid.
First, **** holds a crossbow and fires from a hundred steps away.
**** picked up the Zhuge Crossbow, took aim briefly, and pulled the trigger. There was a "whoosh" sound and a black light flashed through. However, it did not achieve any effect. The crossbow arrow was bounced away by the vine armor and was not seen on everyone's faces.
There was a look of disappointment, as if everyone had expected this result, and then moved the distance closer, starting from eighty steps, moving every ten steps, until it was twenty steps before the crossbow arrow sank into it. This result made everyone secretly
Horrified
You know, the vine armor soldiers not only have armor, they also have shields. Even if they pierce the shield, can they continue to pierce the armor? No one has the confidence, and it only takes 20 steps to charge.
If they can run in front of them, the crossbow army will be directly chopped down by the opponent.
Then comes the bow. Only a five-stone bow can penetrate it at a distance of twenty steps, while the limit distance of throwing a short spear is thirty steps. This shows how powerful the defense of the rattan armor is.
Yunfeng couldn't help but frown. In fact, it was not impossible for him to ignore the Tengjia soldiers and use kerosene bombs to attack Yangping Pass, but in this case Meng Gulu would probably run away.
Based on Yunfeng's original intention, it was naturally the best choice to recruit Meng Gulu and then gradually encroach on his tribe, holding this rattan armor army in his hands. But there was no way that Meng Gulu had a grudge against Tianjimen, and Tianjimen turned to him again.
In view of this situation, he could only let Yangping Pass become the burial place of Meng Gulu. He was not willing to let this man escape back to Jianning and incite the local tribes to rebel.
Yunfeng is still doing the same thing. Since it can't be used by me, then I will completely erase it from the body.
Although Zhuge Fei couldn't see the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, she could still feel the sluggish atmosphere in the air. As Yunfeng's staff, she had not come up with a plan so far. Now that the army is encountering difficulties, it happened to be her.
When it was working, he turned to Yunfeng and saluted: "I wonder if the general can tell the slave family about today's battle process and camp structure?"
Yunfeng didn't ask why and told Zhuge Fei everything she wanted to know.
Zhuge Fei frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, he smiled and said, "The slave family has a plan. General, would you like to hear it?"
"Oh?" Yunfeng said quickly: "Miss Zhuge, please speak."
Zhuge Fei smiled slightly and said: "I heard what the general said now, that Meng Gulu is just a reckless man. To deal with this person, the first choice is to use tactics, lure him into a desperate situation, and then use fire attacks."
Yunfeng asked in confusion: "What's the plan? Wuhou once burned thirty thousand rattan armors. Meng Gulu should avoid making the same mistake again. How can he be willing to enter danger again?"
Zhuge Fei confidently said: "General, don't be anxious, and listen to the slave family. Come and follow Meng Gulu's arrogant nature. This person will challenge again tomorrow. The general must stick to the camp and not come out. Maybe Meng Gulu will send soldiers to insult this."
At that time, the general must endure it for three or two days before he pretends that he can't bear it anymore and sends his sergeants to fight, but he must pretend defeat to lure them to attack the camp.
Next, this is the key point mentioned by the slave family. The general must dig a deep trench around the inside of the camp within a few days, cover it with wooden boards, and then move earth and rocks to block it so that no flaws can be seen.
If Meng Gulu leads his army into the camp, the general must immediately send his ambush troops to remove the planks, cut off his return path with a long trench, and then throw kerosene bombs, and he should be able to annihilate them all."
Zhuge Fei's sweet voice like a silver bell fell, and everyone couldn't help but shudder. This woman is as ruthless as her ancestors. But it is undeniable that this method does have the possibility of success if there are no loopholes in every link.
Yunfeng couldn't help but praise: "Girl Zhuge is as beautiful as a man, and her strategy is no less than that of Lingzu, which deeply makes me admire her." Then he turned around and shouted: "Send the order, the camp is extended to the back of the court, and only empty tents are left in front of the wall.
Every night the lights are turned off and trenches are dug, and the defenders of Yangping Pass are not allowed to be disturbed."
"As ordered" the generals saluted and left.
At the same time, a celebration banquet was being held in Yangpingguan City Tower. Meng Gulu was sitting at the first table at the bottom. There were two young and beautiful maids waiting on one left and one right. Although the two girls had smiles on their faces, their mouths were
She spoke in a coquettish voice that was so exaggerated that any normal person would feel disgusted by the words of praise. But if you look closely, you can see that there is a trace of deep disgust hidden in her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her mouth are also twitching slightly.
There is no way, the smell of this barbarian is too unbearable, especially when he kisses me with his bloody mouth, the big black and yellow teeth with the smell of rotten meat are disgusting, and this man's hands and feet are not clean.
'Put it in when you say it. We maids serve men. We have lost our shame and have resigned ourselves to our fate. But why don't you be gentler? What kind of hatred do those two little dots have against you? They have to die.
Twisting around?'
The two maids secretly exchanged glances, and both could see sadness and unwillingness in each other's eyes. However, they understood their identities, so they could only endure the nausea and heart-pounding pain, press their fragrant bodies up and let this Nanman play with him wantonly.
Li Qi looked at Meng Gulu, whose arms had disappeared, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty is going to show off the power of our army today. I wonder if you have any other plans tomorrow?"
Meng Nenglu was not in a hurry to answer. He turned around and winked at the maidservant. The maidservant helplessly took a sip of wine and put it in her mouth. She stepped forward and crossed over. Meng Nenglu swallowed it in one gulp and then spoke with satisfaction.
He said: "General, don't worry. I will challenge you again tomorrow. Of course, the opponent has heavy weapons and cavalry. The general will have to allocate some vehicles to me as cover."
Li Qi nodded and said: "It doesn't matter. Tomorrow I will give you three hundred chariots and two hundred shields. How about that?"
"Hahahahaha" Meng Gulu laughed wildly and said: "As soon as it breaks tomorrow, I will lead my troops there" (To be continued)
