Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 82 Wait until the Xianbei cavalry comes out, I will summon a giant!
White clouds float leisurely above the blue sky.

The bright sunshine penetrates the clouds, casting a mottled halo of light.

Between heaven and earth, everything seems peaceful and beautiful.

The emerging cicada emerges from the dry earth, spreads its wings, and makes the first chirp of its life.

A large foot descended from the sky, its black rubber sole landing and crushing the cicada's chirping.

More pairs of big feet surged past, trampling the earth.

From the perspective of an insect, countless figures are marching forward under the sunlight.

A few miles away, an even larger military formation stretched from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.

"What formation is this?"

Through the telescope, the coalition forces of the Di and Xianbei peoples in the distance formed a formation that went against common sense.

The Xianbei people, known for their ferocious cavalry, actually gave up the flat plains.

The horses were pulled up the mountain.

The Xianbei Murong clan, whose main fighting force was cavalry, actually lined up their battle array with their backs to the mountain.

Even a mediocre general would not do such an abnormal thing.

What's more, Murong Ke and Murong Chui, who led the troops, were both regarded as famous generals.

Lin Dao turned around and told Sun Rong, who was in charge of logistics, "Get a set of Fei Tian Shen Luan."

Such important materials have always been kept by Sun Rong personally.

Install the battery and start debugging.

‘Buzz~~~’

The drone took off into the air and headed straight for the mountains opposite.

This is Fenglong Mountain, the junction of Zhending County and Yuanshi County.

On the endless plain, the Fenglong Mountains, with an average height of hundreds of meters, wind their way like a coiled dragon.

The drone camera in the sky was turning, and large numbers of Di and Xianbei people were everywhere in the mountains and plains.

Lin Dao stared at the screen, his fingers moving constantly. "Where are the Xianbei cavalry?"

The camera scanned the area but couldn't find any Xianbei cavalry.

The drone rose high and flew over the valley in the mountains.

"Hide here?"

Finally, we saw the cavalry of the Xianbei Murong clan.

Herds of horses gathered, and a large number of soldiers were sitting or standing by, either resting or feeding the horses.

Neither the men nor the horses were wearing armor.

In many film and television dramas, soldiers on both sides are already wearing armor, and cavalrymen are riding on horses, just waiting for battle.

Think about it, even during military training, it would be uncomfortable to stand for an hour or two wearing only a single layer of clothing.

Not to mention that during a war, one would have to wear armor and weapons weighing dozens of kilograms and stand for at least one or two hours.

They also have to keep moving and even fight, which consumes a terrible amount of physical energy.

It's just like the battles in movies and TV dramas, even drugs can't withstand it.

In the real combat of the cold weapon era, the infantrymen only put on armor and took up weapons before forming into battle formations.

Cavalry would only mount their horses before charging into battle.

Together with the horse and the rider, they weigh about 100 to 200 kilograms. After riding for a long time, the warhorse would not have the energy to charge into the battle.

"Hiding in the valley?"

Looking at the images coming from the panel, Lin Dao noticed something about his grandson.

Fly a drone and observe carefully.

Sure enough, not long after, he saw a deep trench in the valley.

Many people were laying wooden boards on the trench and then sprinkling loose soil on the boards.

Lin Dao now understood that this was aimed at the 100-ton heavy truck.

"I see."

With their backs to the mountain, the Hundred-Ton King couldn't climb the mountain.

The cavalry came out of the valley to lure the enemy a little, and the Hundred Ton King chased into the valley.

Xianbei cavalry could walk across the trenches on wooden planks.

The Hundred-Ton King on the forest trail is extremely heavy. Once it drives over it, it will inevitably break the wooden planks and fall into it.

Once it falls into a deep pit, the deterrent power of the Hundred-Ton King will instantly disappear.

"This must have been a plan proposed by the Di people who participated in the Battle of Yecheng."

Only the Di people who have witnessed the power of the Hundred-Ton King with their own eyes could come up with such an idea.

"If it were me."

Lin Dao thought carefully, "If they knew that setting fire to the mine was useless, they would definitely arrange for people to fill the pit after the 100-ton King Mining Truck fell into it, shovel soil to fill it, and then trample it flat on horseback."

“Smart people exist in every era.”

Fu Hong, Murong Ke, and Murong Chui were all smart people.

They knew they could not defeat the steel behemoth, but they had to face it.

In this case, such an arrangement is almost the best option under the existing conditions.

Another way is to use water to attack, which directly floods the place.

However, the noise from the water attack was too loud to conceal the battlefield.

Once detected, failure is inevitable.

There were traps hidden in the valley like this, and the soldiers around blocked the information.

If you are caught off guard, you will definitely suffer a great loss.

It can be said that the best has been achieved in terms of temple calculations.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Lin Dao had clairvoyance~~~
The unknown conspiracy is terrifying.

It would be funny if the conspiracy was discovered.

"moat."

Lin Dao rubbed his chin and said, "The Hundred Ton King won't work. It will sink if you drive over it."

"I have something handy here."

"There is."

"Hook machine!"

There are not only mining trucks on the forest road, but also scrapped cranes.

After the repair, it can be restarted and at least driven.

Lin Dao had no plans to use it before, thinking that it would only be useful during the siege.

After all, the speed of the gantry crane is too slow. It is difficult to deal with infantry running all over the mountains, let alone cavalry.

Unexpectedly, the Xianbei people took the initiative to give Hook Machine the opportunity to show itself.

Lin Dao controlled the drone again and carefully explored the valley.

The valley was a bit steep, with many dead branches and leaves piled on the ground for many years. It was a bit narrow, but extremely long and secluded.

After flying several miles along the valley, we found that the end was blocked by a mountain.

Lin Dao carefully observed the Xianbei flags on the ground.

"Is the wind blowing into the valley?"

He took a breath and piloted the drone back.

"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in."

"You're the one who's voluntarily putting yourself in a desperate situation and seeking death. You can't blame me."

Given the geographical conditions and wind direction, it would be unfair to Zhuge Kongming if he didn't use fire attack.

Murong Ke and the others had no choice.

There is an endless plain here, and it is good enough to be able to find mountains.

Fenglong Mountain is not a famous mountain or river that stretches for hundreds or thousands of miles.

This is the only valley that meets the requirements.

They never imagined that Lin Dao not only had a way to break through the trenches, but even had a plan to burn all their cavalry.

"Ran Min."

Lin Dao called General Po Lu and said, "Go to the front and lead the troops to attack the mountains on both sides of the valley."

"Leader!"

Ran Min first received the military order, and then expressed his opinion: "General, in my humble opinion, there may be Xianbei cavalry hiding in the valley."

"When I beg for my life on Jungong Mountain, break out from the valley and attack our army from the flank."

This is the cavalry's favorite and most commonly used tactic.

When the enemy infantry was held up and had no time to split themselves, rush out and attack from the flank to defeat them.

This was how Ran Min was defeated in Zhending County before, and it was quite impressive.

"Ah."

Lin Dao nodded, "I know."

"Just lead the troops to attack the mountain."

"If you see a fire in the valley, then seal off the mountain as much as possible to prevent the Xianbei cavalry from escaping."

Ran Min and his generals rode forward and commanded their respective troops to attack the mountain.

Lin Dao asked Sun Rong to fetch a large drone and a large canister filled with Molotov cocktails.

"Try the intercom."

"Hey, hey, one, two, three."

Without so much interference, the communication effect of the walkie-talkie is very good.

"Liu Hu," Lin Dao instructed the captain of the personal guard, "follow my orders over the intercom."

"Make sure you hang the hook correctly, otherwise you'll burn yourself."

"Make some room, push it open a little more."

"Wait until the Xianbei cavalry comes out, I'm going to summon a giant creature!"

The Di and Xianbei people on the mountain shot arrows from a high position.

Dense arrows fell like raindrops.

The beggar soldiers who attacked from above continued to climb up, holding up their explosion-proof shields.

Arrows are not a big deal, the shield and the armor on the body are strong enough.

As long as the unprotected arms, legs, neck or face are not hit, it's fine.

The defenders kept pushing stones and wood down the mountain.

They were unable to dodge and were hit, and casualties gradually occurred.

The various Hu people who are causing trouble in the north are also normal people, and they will use all the strategies and tactics they can think of.

Not those brainless NPCs in the game.

"Sun Dalang." Ran Min withdrew his gaze from the hillside and called Sun Dalang, who had officially been transferred from the personal guard to the army as a general. "You lead the long formation to guard the flanks."

"The iron ring can be pulled up now."

Ran Min concluded that the Xianbei cavalry would definitely attack from the valley, so preparations should be made in advance.

Sun Dalang saluted and said, "I obey!"

Thousands of beggar soldiers began to form up.

They held long spears and formed into several rows.

Some soldiers even came forward carrying barbed wire and wooden stakes, stretched out the long barbed wire, and fixed it with wooden stakes.

The strongmen swung their hammers vigorously and hammered the wooden stakes into the ground.

On the hillside, Murong Ke frowned slightly and asked Fu Hong beside him, "Is this the long iron ring you mentioned?"

"Exactly."

Fu Hong said solemnly, "Don't underestimate these iron rings."

"It looks soft, but it's actually very tough. It's hard to cut with a knife, and hard to damage with a sword."

"It has built-in barbs. Once a horse or a rider gets caught in it, they'll be entangled in the iron ring and it'll be extremely difficult to escape."

Murong Ke nodded.

But I also have doubts in my mind: "Where do these things come from?"

"Such a tough ironware cannot be made by a master craftsman. Where did the Qihuo Army get so much ironware?"

His eyes swept over the beggar army attacking the mountain, and his eyes were full of envy that could not be concealed.

Basically everyone in the Beggar Army wears armor, and it's iron armor!

This is so enviable.

"There are rumors." Fu Hong narrowed his eyes. "Qi Huoshuai knows the magic."

"Haha~~~" Murong Ke laughed casually, "Such words are just talk, no need to take them seriously."

He shook his head and turned to signal his guards, "Pass the order, Dragon City Armored Cavalry, attack."

The low and melodious sound of a bullhorn sounded, and the Dragon City armored cavalry hidden in the valley began to put on their armor.

Armored cavalry consists of two parts: armor and horse armor.

Human armor consists of a helmet, a collar, a body armor, shoulder armor, and leg armor.

The vest is composed of several parts: face armor, neck armor, chest armor, body armor, and back armor.

Both the human armor and the vest are made of iron armor plates, and the entire set of equipment has more than three thousand armor plates in total.

It can be said that it is a complete iron fortress.

Such a steel fortress appears on the battlefield with devastating destructive power.

The Xianbei Murong clan, with the entire nation's strength, could only support a few thousand Dragon City armored cavalry.

In some film and television dramas, there are often tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry, which can only be said to be a lack of necessary understanding of the productivity of the farming era.

By the way, the princes, scholars, royal brothers and generals who commanded tens of thousands of loyal and devoted heavy armored cavalry would actually give up their martial arts just because of an imperial decree.

It's so funny~~~
