Chapter 17 The First Battle

It is said that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, but in Ye Zhao's view, whether compared with the 21st century he lived in in his previous life or the new era later, in this dynasty that had never been polluted, even the landscapes located in the border villages were no less inferior to Guilin's landscapes in later generations.

The Chingqiu River is located in a group of low mountains at the intersection of Hu and Han dynasties. Although there are mountains here, the mountains are not high and there is no majestic appearance. The Chingqiu River is a spacious river between these Chingqiu River. To the north is an endless grassland, and to the south is Macheng. The terrain is not dangerous. Walking along the river, the terrain is spacious and very suitable for cavalry to gallop.

"Lord, you want to snipe Aguli here!?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao as if he was looking at a madman and shouted: "This place is open and the terrain is flat, which is suitable for cavalry to gallop. Although he does not understand military tactics, sniping cavalry here, and fighting less is like seeking death!"

"Don't worry, it's like this now. If it's just like that, why would I bring so many craftsmen here? The only question now is whether it's certain that Aguli will definitely take this path?" Ye Zhao waved his hand, and while taking people to survey the terrain, he said to Qiu Chi.

Qiu Chi wanted to ask what a group of craftsmen could do? But seeing that Ye Zhao had already begun to summon craftsmen and some laborers recruited by Meng Hu started to start construction under Ye Zhao's command, he could only follow Ye Zhao helplessly and said: "Although there are many ways to pass through the Qiushui River, if there are a large number of cavalry, there is only one way."

There were traces left by Aguli on the ground. After he left Macheng, he immediately took away all the Wuhuan people near Macheng.

Ye Zhao nodded relievedly and began to let the craftsmen prepare.

The place they chose was a road with a wide middle and narrow sides. Ye Zhao ordered several carpenters and stonemasons to set up mechanisms on the cliffs on both sides. Qiu Chi could understand it. However, the other party was not only invaded by the clan, but even if they only brought more than a thousand people, it was difficult to trap the other party with the strength of Ye Zhao's hands.

Then I saw Ye Zhao commanding a group of laborers to start digging holes near the south and near the mountains.

It was not that kind of large trap, but fists-sized holes, which were only one foot deep and covered with some dead branches. He really couldn't see what it was for? But Ye Zhao asked someone to dig such small holes in the second half of this road, and countless holes were dug up close to the mountain.

In addition, the stonemason was also summoned and the carpenters began to make some obstacles on both sides of the mountain. The mountain was not steep, and even the cavalry could rush up. Making these obstacles could effectively prevent the enemy from rushing up the mountain. However, the number of people was too large. Even if there were these obstacles, how could they stop the other party with the few people in their hands?

In the next few days, Ye Zhao had been laying in the valley, and even eating and sleeping in this valley. In Qiu Chi's eyes, the valley in front of him gradually returned to its original state under Ye Zhao's arrangement. At least when walking in this valley, even if someone familiar with it, it would be difficult for him to notice an ambush at a glance.

On the seventh day, a scout sent by Ye Zhao ran to Ye Zhao and bowed and said, "Sir, here you are here!"

"How many people are there?" Ye Zhao asked.

"The smoke and dust are everywhere, and I can't see the number of people."

"Take it again!"

"Here!"

When the scout left, Ye Zhao looked at Gao Sheng and said, "You will bring the craftsmen and those coolies back to the city immediately."

"Here!" Gao Sheng heard this, he bowed and began to retreat with a group of coolies and craftsmen.

"Meng Hu."

"Here!" Meng Hu took a step forward.

"As mentioned before, let your people bring shields, you only have one task, which is to block the arrow clusters shot by the other party, and you don't need to worry about the others."

"Here!"

"Guan Hai!"

"Here!" Guan Hai stepped out of the line and clasped his fists at Ye Zhao.

"Preserve the pass, fight here together, and immediately cut off the retreat path without any mistakes."

"Here!"

"Ding Li, Qiu Chi, you two are following me and listen to the orders afterwards!" Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Here!"

Ye Zhao waved his hand and everyone returned to their positions according to their previous plans. With the bunkers they had made before, they hid themselves in the low mountains well.

...

Aguli was urging his war horses wildly, and the eyes ahead seemed to be filled with flames. In Macheng, he had enough of the bird energy, first Qiu Chi, and then Ye Zhao. Over the years, his tribe has grown stronger with the resources provided by Macheng. Now it is the top tribe on the grassland. It has different identities and destined mentality. In the past, when he was just a small tribe, he knew how to compromise. But now, his tribe has as many as 8,000 people. Just those who can get on horseback and kill the enemy, there are three thousand people. In the Han Dynasty, it is comparable to the military force of a county. How can he bear this leisure? This time, he will definitely kill Macheng and avenge his previous shame.

The terrain in front of him suddenly opened up, but the anger in his heart did not dissipate for a moment. Instead, as Ma Cheng approached, it continued to ignite. As long as this hatred water passed, it would be Ma Cheng. In just seven days, the other party would never be able to repair the city wall. This time, he would use the blood of the Han people in Ma Cheng to wash away the humiliation brought to him by these Han people.

The war horse sitting down seemed to feel the murderous aura in the owner's heart, and the speed was a little faster.

"Xilulu~"

The war horses of several Wuhuan knights lost their hooves without warning, making a series of messy neighs, and fell down from the horse's back.

Aguli looked at him with some confusion, wondering why these people's war horses suddenly lost their hooves. At this moment, the war horse that sat down suddenly sank. Aguli was shocked and instinctively pressed the horse's back and jumped high from the horse. However, his war horse fell to the ground hard. Under the action of inertia, it slipped out a distance of ten feet. Many dead branches on the ground were wiped open. Aguli was surprised to find that there were holes the size of fists on the ground in front of him.

"Chief, be careful!" Just when Aguli was confused, a strong wind suddenly came from behind. However, in order to avoid hitting his own people, a subordinate made the horse rise directly into the air with his superb horse speed. However, although he passed one person, he crashed straight into Aguli.

Without reminding others, Aguli quickly dodged to the side and avoided the impact. However, the others were not so lucky. Many people were directly knocked away by the war horses that rushed up later, and some were directly stepped on by countless horse hooves and stomped into minced meat.

This time, Aguli finally knew why this situation occurred, but saw a high-speed war horse suddenly stepping into a pit, and the whole horse instantly became unbalanced and fell down.

"Despicable Han people, stop!" Aguli's eyes were so angry that he used all his strength to knock down an out-of-control war horse with one punch, and roared fiercely.

On the short mountain, Qiu Chi watched in amazement as the cavalry were knocked down by the small hole as big as a fist. The small trap he thought was unnecessary and could not have any power at all. At this moment, he directly destroyed the greatest advantage of these Wuhuan cavalry. He turned his head to look at Ye Zhao, who was calm, and felt an unspeakable admiration in his heart.

Ye Zhao looked at the Wuwan cavalry who were gradually stopping on the road, turned his head to look at Ding Li and said, "It's almost done, shoot the arrow!"

"Here!" Ding Li agreed, waved his hand, and one hundred and eighty soldiers quickly appeared, bent their bows and arrows, and began to pour arrow rain at the chaos of the Wuwan warriors.

Although they have not done special archery training, these Karasuma warriors are simply living targets at this moment. They gather together. As long as they can shoot arrows out, even blind people can hit the enemy. In just a moment, many corpses of Karasuma people fell down on the road. Unfortunately, there were too few people on their side to form a dense array of arrows. Otherwise, just this wave of arrow rain could cause these Karasuma people to suffer severe damage.

After Ye Zhao and the others shot three-wheeled arrows, Aguli reacted and quickly directed the Wuhuan warriors to counterattack with bows and arrows. As a nation on the horse's back, no matter how powerful the combat power, they usually have good archery skills. At this moment, they reacted quickly and quickly bent their bows and arrows. In an instant, countless sharp arrows gathered into a dense rain of arrows pouring down.

"Rise the shield!" Ye Zhao waved his hand, and Ding Li beside him roared.

Four hundred people who were temporarily stigmatized quickly followed Meng Hu's instructions and came out from behind the cover and used shields to protect these soldiers and themselves under the shield. Except for some unlucky guys who were panicked by the scene in front of him, the dense rain of arrows almost fell on the shield and bunker. The soldiers took the opportunity to get into the cover and let the other party shoot.

Aguli commanded the soldiers to shoot for a long time. Except for a few unlucky ghosts, Ye Zhao was almost injured. He even more angry. He commanded a group of Wuhuan warriors and roared: "There are few people, kill me and kill these damn Han people."

"Kill~"

A group of Wuwan warriors threw away their bows and arrows, drew their sabers, and rode their horses to charge towards the Aoshan. However, before they could approach the Aoshan, the previous scene happened again. There were countless small holes around the mountain, and there were already a lot of war horses falling down. As the people were overturned, the screams or roars of Wuwan people were constantly heard, mixed with some pleading sounds.

"How come these people don't have a good memory?" Ye Zhao shook his head, waved his hand, and under Ding Li's leadership, a group of soldiers appeared again and shot arrows at these Wuhuan people again.

Some of the Karasuwan people at the foot of the mountain abandoned their horses and started charging towards the mountain, while others began to fight back with bows and arrows, but more of them began to turn around.
