Start a city building order

Chapter 49 Set fire
"Your Highness, our army must not move rashly!"

Among the ruins of Huangzhuangji, Dong Erda hurried over to speak to Li Si.

"The lonely king knows."

Li Si smiled helplessly, Ma De, even if he was a war rookie, he would not make such a mistake, without the advantage of ambushes, without the suppression of trebuchets, he took a group of infantry, archers, and headed out against the sun. Attacking enemies two miles away?

The opponent has chariot formations, hundreds of crossbowmen, infantry shield formations, and cavalry support, and the past is death.

"just wait!"

Li Si tried his best to maintain the sense of frustration in his heart. Now the enemy troops set up camp to rest at ten o'clock in the morning, and it seemed that they would not leave until at least four o'clock in the afternoon.

But they still can't advance or retreat. If they fail to do well, they will be the first to collapse.

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help looking to the southwest with worry. At this time, Li Xin's heavy cavalry battalion was lurking in the woods at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. It was less than six miles away from the enemy's camp. I only hoped that Li Xin could hold his breath. .

But at the same time, Li Xin in the woods was not as flustered as Li Si imagined. After carefully checking the wind direction, he gave an order.

"Set it on fire! Use the fire to disperse the enemy's vehicles and give our army a chance."

"Commander, this is not right. If things are dry today, if a fire is ignited, the tens of thousands of acres of nearby farmland will be completely destroyed."

"Destroying tens of thousands of acres of farmland is better than us losing this battle. Your Highness is in Huangzhuangji. Under such circumstances, there is no way to advance or retreat. If there is a mistake, who can take the responsibility?"

"set fire!"

Following Li Xin's categorical order, more than [-] cavalry dismounted and slipped out of the woods. Outside the woods were patches of farmland. At this time of year, the woods might not be able to catch fire, but the farmland definitely could.

And this piece of farmland leads directly to the official road where the enemy camps, and when the fire starts, there is no need to worry about the enemy's panic.

Sure enough, within a short time, twenty or thirty fires started to burn, and with the weak southwest wind, the flames spread towards the north.

At first the fire was not big, and the progress was not fast, but in just a few minutes, thick smoke billowed and the flames raged, not only to the north, but also to the east and west, spreading like a galloping horse!

This kind of movement naturally alarmed the supply corps that was camping on the official road, but the general who commanded the corps was extremely calm. While ordering the convoy to move forward to avoid the dangerous area, he commanded some soldiers, and the young and strong entered the farmland to dig out Divider.

After all, as long as there is no strong wind and property damage is not a concern, such a fire is not difficult to control.

What's more, there are many canals in this place, which can easily divide the fire scene.

At this time, in the ruins of Huangzhuangji, Li Si and others also saw the rapidly spreading fire, and they were all shocked, but this was indeed an impossible solution. Seeing the enemy's convoy advancing slowly, Li Si My heart was pounding with excitement.

This fire burned too timely.

However, in the woods to the south, Li Xin frowned. The general on the opposite side was too steady.

Not enough!
"Everyone, get on your horses. We will chase after the fire. If the enemy dares to put out the fire, we will kill them!"

After a while, the heavy cavalry battalion rushed out of the woods, chased the fire head, and pointed at the enemy.

As a result, there was only a moment of commotion on the opposite side. Instead, more crossbowmen were transferred to the official road, and they lined up and waited for the more than 100 horsemen to come up to die.

For a while, the dispatch here was clear, and Min Zhuang was responsible for clearing out the isolation zone. The soldiers were armed with long spears, and there were fifty burly men wearing armor at a leisurely pace. That's right, they were Lu's fifth-level Soldiers, as the ace force, are only put into the battlefield at critical moments.

And all of this, Li Xin knew very well, but even so, he had to do it. While looking at the army formation ahead that was defended like a fortified wall, he looked at the convoy of supplies that was slowly advancing, and the fighter plane was among them.

Soon, the fire in front hit the isolation zone and was quickly extinguished, and Li Xin also led the team to rush 200 meters away from the enemy's formation.

"Shut up!"

Li Xin quickly reined in his horse, and showed a smile that the enemy general couldn't see clearly. This time it was almost the same. Originally, the enemy's convoy was only going to move forward for one mile, but now it was trying to rely on Huang Zhuang. set, but accidentally entered Li Si's ambush circle.

U-turn!

The heavy cavalry battalion turned around like a cloud and flowing water, and almost at the same time, Huangzhuangji, two miles away, with loud shouts, stone bullets shot up into the sky, and smashed into the cavalry guarding the convoy first. Among them, even several large vehicles were smashed.

The casualties were not large, but the damage and panic brought about was huge, especially those driving the carts. The animals pulling the carts were no better than war horses, and it was difficult to control after being frightened.

In a blink of an eye, this round of thirty stone bullets disrupted all the opponents, and even disrupted the enemy's three hundred cavalry.

At this time, in the ruins of Huangzhuangji, Zhao Xiaoer and Tian Wen led a hundred god-armed crossbowmen and a hundred ranger captains to shoot intensively.

It is worth mentioning that they did not use the crossbow at this time, because the enemy troops were all light armored troops, and whether they were shooting people or horses, they could do good damage, not to mention that bows and arrows shot faster.

So in just ten seconds, the three hundred cavalry lost more than half.

Min Zhuang in the convoy either hugged his head on the ground, or drove forward desperately, or simply ran into the grass in the north.

However, the [-] enemy infantry who accompanied the convoy to protect the convoy reacted quickly. While relying on the cart to avoid the feather arrows, they quickly approached and formed an formation. At the same time, they controlled the chaotic carriage and scolded the panicked Minzhuang. Respite.

"Kill with me!"

Dong Erdai took the lead and fought first at this time. As a veteran soldier, he knew better than the prince that the archer could not determine the final victory of a battle. At critical moments, the infantry still had to fight head-to-head.

The four frontier battalions rushed out first, followed by 220 frontier guards who had not had time to upgrade. Although they were under the command of Li Si, at this time, Li Si was still in command of the Feishi Battalion, so they belonged to the state of trusteeship, combat effectiveness and organization. The ability is much worse.

But Dong Erdai only needs them to snatch the cart.

At this time, Dong Erdai was holding the shield in his left hand, turned half of his body to his side, and left the weak defense area in front of his right to his companions. They were all veterans and didn't even need orders.

At this moment, the four frontier battalions dispersed into seventeen or eighteen groups, but none of the groups were scattered alone. They formed a large or small shield formation and crossed the vehicles at a not-so-fast speed. cart.

Above the head, there are feather arrows flying continuously, and the sound of swishing through the air is extremely pleasant.

There is one thing to say, the archer in the hands of His Royal Highness is quite powerful, and a sense of security arises spontaneously.

Just these two hundred archers suppressed the two hundred enemy infantry on the opposite side so that they could not raise their heads in this short period of time.

However, the remnants of the cavalry on the opposite side are forming a team, they will not rush into the shield formed by these veterans, especially with the carts as obstacles, if they dare to rush, they will die.

On the contrary, the archers behind are likely to be detoured by this group of cavalry.

"Sun Cheng, take your men to protect the archers!"

Dong Er stayed and shouted towards the flank.

"Fuck, those guys are very arrogant and don't need our protection."

Sun Cheng complained that he was an old soldier, and he knew how to fight such a simple ambush with his eyes closed, where he needed to defend and where he needed to attack.

So even though His Royal Highness did not issue a military order, he and his fourth barracks still slowed down the pace when rushing out, and quietly covered the outside of Zhao Xiaoer's shooting position.

When the movement was in place, the more than 100 cavalry went around in a circle, like a sharp arrow, heading straight for Zhao Xiaoer and Tian Wen's shooter position.

At the same time, Dong Erdai also yelled, and the six shield formations formed by his first barracks split apart in an instant, and more than 20 armor-piercing cones were thrown out by lightning, not far away, only a distance of more than ten meters. While the enemy was howling and howling, everyone accelerated at the same time, holding their shields like chubby blind bears. No matter how many enemies there were, we rushed first to respect them.

In an instant, the battle formation formed by the enemy army relying on the convoy blossomed in all directions, and they were overwhelmed by the rush.

However, this chaos will only last for a few seconds, and then the 50 people in the first side of the military camp where Dong Er stayed will be hacked to death by the enemy. Go in, more people can suppress fewer people, there is actually no difference between level 4 soldiers and level 3 soldiers.

However, it was just a few seconds.

The second barracks led by Xu Chang and the third barracks led by Zhang Miao jumped onto the cart at the same time, condescending, and threw rows of armor-piercing cones at the enemy army formation that had opened a gap.

After only two rounds, the two hundred enemy infantry collapsed.

Scared, what a joke, the grandpas are frontier soldiers!
