Chapter 104: Angry Him to Death
They may not have such a hard life.
When I thought of this, the expressions of several people became lonely, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became very gloomy.
Looking at the original fifty-man brigade, due to some injuries, there were now less than forty people left. Lu Qiyan felt sad in his heart, but said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of you." Bring him back safely ”
Do his best!
Lu Qiyan had always been a righteous person, and he was very brave when charging to kill the enemy. He protected the others behind him. He was not like the leader of some brigade. He only ordered his subordinates to rush forward, and when the merits were rewarded, he tried his best to take credit for himself. .
Therefore, everyone in the team admires Lu Qiyan very much. Even Zheng Sanfu, who was not convinced by Lu Qiyan before, now has a slight respect for him.
Seeing Lu Qiyan say this, everyone felt as if they had taken reassurance, and nodded heavily, "Yes!"
They will definitely be safe!
"The leader of the brigade is kind to us and has great skills, but this time..." Someone hesitated to speak.
This time they set up an ambush here in order to contain the reinforcements coming to support Cheung Chau Mansion, cut off all supplies to Cheung Chau Mansion, and turn it into an isolated city.
When the city’s food, grass, and arrows are exhausted, that’s when the city will be destroyed.
However, there are only three armies sent here at this time.
The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty consisted of an army of 2,500 men. However, due to recent casualties, the three armies were fully equipped with only 6,000 men at most.
According to reports from spies, there are more than 10,000 reinforcements in this direction.
The huge disparity in numbers makes this battle extremely stressful.
The most important thing is that their brigade is in the lead army.
And their team was placed at the front.
As for the reason for this arrangement, it was not because they were appreciated by the top for their bravery and good fighting skills under the leadership of Lu Qiyan, but because of Shao Dutou's recommendation.
Theoretically speaking, each country has two brigades. Since Shao Dutou recommended him, the two brigades should naturally advance and retreat together.
But Shao Dutou forcefully asked the battalion commander to move the other brigade back, leaving Lu Qiyan and others at the front.
This intention is self-evident.
No one cares about dying for the country and wrapping his body in horse leather.
But it’s true that being targeted like this is...
I can’t swallow this sigh of relief!
Someone thought of this incident and cursed angrily, "What do you think about this Shao Dutou?"
After all, he is a soldier under his command, so he doesn't value him so much, how can he be so close to him?
"What else can you think? Isn't it because our team leader is better than him, and he is afraid that our team leader will overtake his position, so he hastily come to make a stumbling block?"
So that Lu Qiyan can Get seriously injured, or die on this battlefield.
The worst thing is that no matter who in the team is injured or killed, Lu Qiyan will feel guilty that he was involved.
It’s really a vicious trick!
After saying this, several people nearby were full of anger, and they just wanted to tear Shao Du's head into pieces before they could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Suppress all your anger and save it for later when you kill the enemy." Lu Qiyan said solemnly.
Things have become like this. Anger and anger are useless. Only by fighting bravely to save one's life and winning due credit can one retaliate against those he hates.
"This is natural." People around nodded, "But Shao Dutou..."
You can't just let go of a black-hearted person.
"Are you really stupid? You survived, killed so many enemies, and earned so much credit that you can't make him angry to death?"
"Just listen to the leader of the team and work hard. Collect them and keep them for killing enemies. Isn't his surname Shao most afraid of the leader of our group? We have to push the leader of our group up!"
"Yes, make him mad! "
After everyone figured this out, they no longer thought about that bastard in Shao Dutou. They just took advantage of waiting here to polish the spears or swords in their hands until they were shiny. Extremely sharp. After Lu Qiyan thought for a moment, he told the people below what tactics he would use to best protect himself and kill the enemy when charging later.
Based on the battle plan of the entire army later, first there will be traps such as snagging ropes and iron caltrops, followed by the arrow rain attack from the archers, and then the infantry will go into battle to kill them.
At that time, the spearmen in the vanguard will be bypassed, a surprise attack will be made from the enemy's midfield, and the stage of hand-to-hand combat will begin.
Lu Qiyan's strategy is to form a group of three, with both small-scale defense and attack, and even help each other, striving to survive the first wave of attacks and rotate the next group forward.
Lu Qiyan spoke seriously, and the people below also listened carefully and kept it in their minds.
The sun moves across the sky from the east and sets from the west.
In the evening, the spies brought news that the enemy was still about twenty miles away from the ambush site.
At this rate, the battle will start at approximately Hai hour.
The army began to send orders, ordering everyone to stand ready.
And all the sergeants were very energetic and stared at the front attentively.
The sun sets in the west, and the western sky turns red. The noisy cicadas gradually stop, replaced by the high and low singing of summer insects that are active at night.
Night gradually enveloped the entire earth, and stars were looming in the clouds and mist in the night sky.
The dim moonlight especially highlights the dazzling effect of the moving torches.
Seeing the number of torches gradually increasing, and the sound of rapid horse hooves and footsteps getting closer and closer, everyone's breathing picked up.
Coming!
Wow!
The tripping rope suddenly rose, causing the galloping horses to fall to the ground and neigh.
The caltrops made the horses and many enemy soldiers wail continuously.
Whoosh whoosh!
A dense rain of arrows flew out from the string, pierced the air, and flew towards the dense enemy army.
The sudden attack caught the enemy off guard and made them panic.
Now is the time!
“Kill!” Lu Qiyan rushed out first, waving the long knife in his hand.
“Kill!”
Everyone also shouted angrily and rushed forward following Lu Qiyan.
The sound of fighting suddenly rang through the sky.
The wind rises from the horizon and blows away the white clouds in the sky. The crescent moon hanging in the western sky is revealed, spreading its bright light all over the earth.
Xia Mingyue suddenly opened her eyes and sat up subconsciously.
When I realized that it was just late at night, I breathed a sigh of relief and lay down again.
The moonlight shines through the window paper, illuminating the room brightly, and you can see the shadow of the window frame falling on the ground.
Xia Mingyue was not sleepy at all, she looked at the mottled shadows on the ground, and then looked at the thick night through the gap in the window.
My eyes finally fell on Lu Qiyan's bed.
He should be able to return safely...
Because he woke up twice in one night, Xia Mingyue woke up a little late on the second day, and the circles under his eyes were even a little blue.
Regarding the military system, there are great differences between each dynasty and each generation. Even within one dynasty, there are frequent changes due to the different emperors in office. According to the information found by the author, "History of the Song Dynasty·Bingzhi 9", three A small team is composed of nine people, a squadron is made of nine people, a large team is made of fifty people, and the leaders are all team leaders, which are the basic combat units. Further up, there are 100 people for a capital (two brigades), the commander is the capital leader, and 500 people are for a battalion. (5 capitals), 2,500 people per army (5 battalions), 25,000 people per army (10 armies), and the highest commanders above the battalion are all commanders. Since this system is relatively intuitive and simple, the author draws on this part of the information to write~
