After talking with Xing Yusen, Chen Hai discovered that the fighting methods in this world were a bit like the firearms of Yanhuang.
Ordinary people know about it, and some people who like it can even talk about it in detail, but not many people have actually used it and truly understand it.
Unfortunately, we are in an emergency war now and according to regulations, drinking is not allowed. Otherwise, Chen Hai could still find a way to get Xing Yusen to drink a few bowls of wine and see if he could get some explosive news out of him. After all, he is a ninth-rank constable and should know more than ordinary people.
Late at night, the county lieutenant and his personal guards stayed on the city wall, keeping watch. After passing through a hole, the county lieutenant inadvertently placed his hand outside the city wall, then loosened his palm, and an inconspicuous little paper ball slipped from his hand.
Then, the small paper ball disappeared into thin air as if it was swallowed by the darkness.
The next morning, Chen Hai slept well this time. After all, he was a participant in the city defense battle, so he still received the proper treatment. At least he didn't have to live with idle people in society. Although the temporary resettlement site for the auxiliary soldiers was not very good, it was at least much safer.
It’s a pity that the annoying clapper sound still rang out.
That group of incomprehensible rebels are here again, as punctual as clocking in for work.
After realizing that the county lieutenant was recruiting people for the purpose of recruiting human shields, Chen Hai wanted to say, you can go find whoever you want, I won't accompany you anymore. Unfortunately, after being recruited, if you want to leave again, you have to wait until the war is over, or at least until the local war is over.
Holding a large blade that made him feel insecure, Chen Hai stood silently in his original position, looking at the rebels in the distance. What on earth did these guys want to do? Were they really planning to kill the guards of Shibalipu bit by bit
In fact, it is not impossible, but the other party needs to meet several conditions.
First, there cannot be anyone from the surrounding counties and towns to provide support.
Second, they had unlimited food and arrows.
Third, the soldiers in Shibalipu are all fools and have no idea how to adapt.
Obviously, none of these three basic ones will happen in reality.
Chen Hai slept soundly the whole night last night, but there were a group of people in the city who did not sleep.
Those were the masters and apprentices in the blacksmith shop. They spent a whole night wrapping a layer of iron sheets around all the wooden shields that could still be used. In addition, they had made a batch of low-quality wooden shields yesterday. It seemed that the rebels were dreaming if they could achieve the same results today.
Hiding behind this double shield, Chen Hai's sense of security was greatly enhanced.
After making all the preparations, some crossbowmen began to attack the rebels through the reserved shooting holes.
At this time, Chen Hai had a glimpse of the martial arts world he had imagined. The opponent's general's swordsmanship was quite good, and the scattered crossbow arrows were completely useless.
"Where is our county lieutenant?"
Seeing the enemy general displaying his might, Chen Hai suddenly thought of this. He turned his head slightly and found that the county lieutenant had disappeared, along with his personal guards. Now the most conspicuous person on the city wall was the captain of the police, Xing Yusen
Just when I was wondering, a row of small black dots appeared in the distance, along with a conspicuous flag.
Squinting my eyes, I saw a big word "Lou" on the flag.
The reinforcements arrived. General Lou Qian's troops were mainly composed of cavalry, and their formation was quite neat. If this formation were placed on a modern battlefield, they would be a group of targets waiting to be shot, although there would be no cavalry on the battlefield in modern times.
The slowly advancing cavalry gave a strong sense of oppression, and the rebel formation suddenly became chaotic.
Chen Hai used his 5.2 eyes to see that the enemy general seemed to have started cursing. After the foul language, the team became a little more orderly. During the adjustment, the rebels also quickly changed their formation from the front team to the rear team and retreated directly to the forest not far away.
General Lou Qian waved the spear in his hand, and a fierce yellow light burst out from his body, directly covering all the cavalry.
Tactics - quick battle and quick decision!
After being enhanced by the tactics, the speed of all the cavalrymen increased sharply. Fortunately, these cavalrymen had been trained by General Lou Qian. If they were ordinary recruits, they would have fallen off their horses by now.
Hundreds of cavalrymen running at full speed with yellow light turned into a torrent and charged straight towards the rebels. Just when Chen Hai was about to be happy, he found that General Lou Qian's team seemed to be slightly deviated.
As the charge distance increased, this deviation became more obvious. From this perspective, it seemed that General Lou Qian's charge was not directed at the rebels at all, but at an open space 30 degrees to the right of the rebels
While Chen Hai was puzzled, the rebel general who discovered something was wrong turned pale, and the light of warfare immediately surged out of his body. Dozens of arrows were shot at the cavalry who were already running, but were directly smashed into pieces by the yellow torrent around them and had no effect at all.
Boom! This charge by General Lou Qian seemed to have turned on some strange switch. Three armies appeared out of thin air outside the city wall, one of which was facing the cavalry's spearhead.
The number of these three armies was not large. If you counted them squarely, there were only about two hundred people, or about seven hundred people in total. These people were enough to directly capture Shibalipu.
But what they wanted to do was definitely not to capture a small place that was not even a city. Their army, which relied on tactics - ambushes to hide, was intended to ambush General Lou Qian, and the rebels in the open were actually used to attract the attention of the people in Shibalipu.
After these ambushes appeared, the gate of Shibalipu suddenly opened, and Zhuifeng, one of the four great detectives, appeared with the county lieutenant and two hundred sword and shield soldiers who appeared out of nowhere. The county lieutenant was holding a human head in his hand, which was a traitor among his personal guards.
When the rebels were attacking in a big way, the county lieutenant felt something was wrong, but what he didn't expect was that a member of his trusted guard was actually a rebel. He said that all the messengers were sent out, but in fact, all of them were sent to hell without a single one left.
This time, if Zhuifeng had not been a little worried about Guo Furong's comfort and followed General Lou Qian here, the other party would have succeeded. After discovering some secret traces left by the messenger's death, Zhuifeng did not hesitate to come to Shibalipu alone relying on his lightness skills.
While the rebels were retreating, he sneaked in from the back of the main attack direction, "borrowed" a set of clothes from the county lieutenant's personal guards, discussed it with the county lieutenant, and with the advice of General Lou Qian, he finally decided on this plan of taking advantage of the enemy's strategy.
