Chapter 98 White Camel

Not everyone is as smooth as Wang Zai in nine levels.

This arrangement is an oval circle with an oval length of more than 300 steps. A landmark is made in the middle, and a tunnel is led to the outside tunnel. A bamboo pole is inserted to serve as an outer defense circle, and a cart and cattle and sheep are used as an inner circle. It is not for defense. The first is to block the view so that the Turks cannot see them drilling into the tunnel. The second is to force the enemy to slow down or dismount. The circle of horses made of bamboo poles can be broken, but these small cars cannot be hit hard, otherwise people must roll over. The latter is equally important. Although the range of this circle reaches more than 300 steps, if a thousand cavalry disperses, it will be a large area.

As for the training of the Blood Camp to teach herders, it was actually a cover for today. There was no expectation for herders to resist. The ultimate goal was to use such an arrangement to attract the Turks into the ambush circle, and then use such arrangements to slow down the Turks and all of them were shortlisted without any doubt.

The speed dropped and I won time again. The turf and mud disguised on the wooden board were not very thick. The wooden board was so long and a little heavy, but it was just pushed open and the two soldiers worked together to complete it. It was not very difficult. It was not too time-consuming to take off the two shelves supporting the wooden boards below, but all the wooden boards had to be lifted in a short time, which was the most time-consuming.

There are nearly 3,000 wooden boards in a circle, and three circles at each point, which means that 70,000 to 80,000 wooden boards are laid. This is not difficult. Originally, because of shipbuilding, there were a large number of tools and many people working on the Yellow River in the west of Lingzhou. As for the length of the wooden board, there are many century-old trees on Liupan Mountain, and there is no shortage of materials. The difficulty lies in the last level, and it will be opened in a short time.

Each soldier must lift six wooden boards before the enemy rushes back.

So not every point goes very smoothly.

Some people had not taken the time to grab it, so they had to use the second method to quickly knock down the wooden support below with a sledgehammer. Without the wooden support, the weight of the horse and the weight of the man, most of them were trapped in this tunnel. However, Turkic soldiers still fled one after another.

The most dangerous thing is the westernmost, with nearly half of the Turks escaping, but three people were ambushed at each point. As the soldiers from the other two points emerged from the ground, there were hook and sickles for hooking horses, and there were two bows in the distance, long bows and short bows.

He had already regained his courage, but when he saw the two teams killing over, the leader of the leader also made a post and was reluctant to fight.

As a commander, not only relying on his courage to take office, he immediately thought of other places, including..., 1,500 people, and 13,000 people in nine places. That is, the main force of the Blood Camp was all out, but they were all not on the war horse now. Therefore, thinking of this, he immediately brought the remaining 200 people into the desert to inform Que Teqin.

Que Teqin was waiting for news in the desert.

From his own point of view, he still advocates a good rest with the Tang Dynasty. However, there is a condition for this kind of cultivation. Even if you lose a little false reputation, you must be equal to each other in essence. After all, the Tang Dynasty was too big. If you continue to fight with the Tang Dynasty, the Turks will have a series of adverse effects. It is better to concentrate your energy on the inside and the north.

But he opposed the rise of the Blood Camp, which was more aggressive than those officials of the Tang Dynasty court. In addition, Wang Hua did not buy his face and his brother was captured and his life and death were unknown, which made him feel very unhappy, so he took the initiative to demand to be the command of this army.

However, the development of things was not what he imagined, nor was it what Mochu imagined. In their thoughts, it might not be that the two cities on both sides of the Shengzhou River would be all regular soldiers. But the proportion of regular soldiers must exceed half. Why? Just as Huntemo thought, once Xue Ne's army went west, if the proportion of prisoners of war was too large, and they were prisoners of war from the Tang Dynasty, their hope of going home was far away. Now that the imperial army is coming, it is a good time to go home. As long as you counterattack, both cities will be lost, and they will make great contributions and can go home at the same time. The Blood Camp did not dare to take this risk.

After this calculation, there were less than 12,000 regular soldiers in Fengzhou and Zhongshoujiang City.

Therefore, the attack of nine people will not be much harmful. It turned out that the plan was that the Blood Camp would send troops to rescue the people when it was absolutely impossible. But the most likely thing was to immediately retreat the people across the Yellow River or to Fengzhou City. Then the north bank of the Yellow River would become the world of Turks. Then the slow and forced them to Anyuan City to make further arrangements. That is, the teacher and old man were helpless and snatched a large number of people and livestock from the Blood Camp. Once they had face, they could go back. The good plan was to force the Blood Camp to withdraw the troops in front, break the Blood Camp's plan to force the court to force the Tang Dynasty to fight with the Blood Camp again.

If the Blood Camp attacks from Fengzhou and Zhongshoujiang City, it is the most perfect. There are 11,000 Mochu troops to arrive in the east, and 10,000 Queteqin troops to arrive in the west, and there are 10,000 troops to arrive in the south, and there are absolutely superior in terms of the number of troops along the way. If more than 10,000 troops can be wiped out, the remaining prisoners of war soldiers will attack if they can, and if they cannot attack, they will continue to force Lingzhou.

Even the Blood Camp will attack immediately, considering that after all, the Blood Camp is now highly morale and anything can happen. But they sent all cavalry, and they can immediately join two groups of people, one east and one west, and lead the Blood Camp army to Yinshan Mountains or to the edge of the desert, and continue to form a situation of fighting less with more.

For this plan, Mochuo, Abodagan and others conducted repeated deductions.

Even Xue Na and Guo Yuanzhen will have a tacit understanding with the Blood Camp, and the open and dark alliance. But that's it. When it comes to Xue Na's height, everything is hard to say. If the Blood Camp is not good, he will still send troops. Just like Wang Hua deals with Guo Yuanzhen, don't talk about credit. If he is not thick-skinned and has no heart, it is impossible to climb to such a height. Even if he climbs up, he will fall down quickly. Therefore, the Blood Camp has to leave an army in Dongshoujiang City and Shengzhou City to deal with it.

In other words, even if the Blood Camp sent troops from the East Sujiangcheng, the Turks continued to have an advantage in military strength, because the distance and time would still be behind. The combat power was very strong, and the Turks did not seek merit, but they only wanted no mistakes, and there was no big problem to defend. Then after Que Teqin won the victory, he immediately rushed to support. It is possible that the three Sujiangcheng and Fengzhoucheng would be lost, and Shengzhoucheng would be lost.

It can be said that the deduction reached an unparalleled level, and even the weather and terrain were taken into account, so the Turks launched an offensive.

However, they had no mistake in deduction, but they did not deduction in two accidents. The first accident was that Xue Nebing entered the Shanyu Protectorate, which was not the imperial edict of the court at all. The second accident was that he forgot an animal.

So from the beginning of the attack, a series of accidents began to happen.

Que Teqin's army did not stay at the edge of the desert, although it was very close to the battlefield. However, in order to prevent the blood camp scouts from discovering, Que Teqin's army was still hidden deeper in the desert.

There is a sand lake here, surrounded by some wormwood, sand bamboo, reeds, sand jujubes, flower sticks, willows, turfs, green shrubs, and clear blue sand lakes. The scenery is very beautiful. If it weren't for the summer that was the most windy season in this desert, the sand lake would be blown from time to time, the sand lake would be like a paradise.

There are more than 20 herdsmen living by the Shahu Lake. Only God knows who the herdsmen in this area are under the jurisdiction of whom.

After Que Teqin arrived here, he immediately controlled the herdsmen and then began to wait for news.

This is also the original plan. Not only did not send scouts, but even if the soldiers of the Blood Camp left Fengzhou, they might not appear. They led the Blood Camp to the west side of Yinshan, far away from the Xishoujiang City. The Blood Camp could not retreat safely, so they immediately sent scouts to this Shahu to inform Que Teqin that the army would appear and encircle.

The plan was perfect, but the dial also brought two or three hundred soldiers to the mess, and Que Teqin knew that the plan had made a mistake.

If this arrangement is followed, there are nine levels and three ambush points, that is, the Blood Camp dispatches more than 13,000 soldiers. Although this sniper battle has ambushed in advance, it also requires soldiers to have strong psychological qualities and good combat effectiveness, which means at least 10,000 regular soldiers are dispatched.

Thinking further down, Que Teqin's heart was covered with a layer of shadow.

But at this time he was still lucky. No matter what, even if the original plan was wrong, the blood camp had only 20,000 regular troops. Those prisoners of war could be used to defend the city. If they were placed on a regular battlefield, they would still fight immediately. No matter how brave Wang Hua was, he would not dare to do this. Que Teqin doubted whether the 5,000 prisoners of war could ride horses and could reach 5,000 soldiers who could fight with the enemy immediately.

Now that the Blood Camp has all been removed from war horses and escorted prisoners, this is an opportunity.

Thinking of this, he decisively issued an order and rushed out.

Ten thousand troops set out to the east.

Walking out of the Shahu area, there are golden sand dunes that can’t be seen at a glance.

The southwest wind blows. Although the wind is not very strong, it blows sand and dust from time to time, which makes the soldiers feel uncomfortable. But the impact is not great. There are many desert areas in the Turks, and some soldiers even grew up on the Gobi Desert.

Ten thousand cavalry roared away, raising large groups of sand and dust.

Seeing that it was not far from the edge of the desert, some rocky mountains began to appear. But these hills also began to turn powder because they were taller than the desert, and the southwest wind blew, and there was more sand and dust.

Que Teqin may have looked at this hill with his eyes narrowed and looked at it because of his intuition.

Apart from the powdered sand, the hills were not desolate. They were small shrubs, but they were very sparse. The hills were not big, dozens of meters high and the slope was also very smooth. At this moment, he shouted: "Be careful."

Countless tall figures suddenly appeared on the top of the hill, riding an animal underneath, and some soldiers knew it, camels. It is very rare in the Eastern Turks, but there are many such animals in the Western Turks, and they all use it as a tool of Luo Yun. Many of the Jiu surnames of Zhaowu used it as a means of transportation on the Silk Road.

There are also some families who are in good condition. When they see a camel, they think of its hump. The most common ones among the ordinary rare seafood are ginseng (sea cucumber), wings (shark fin), bones (fish bones, also known as fish crisp), belly (fish belly), nest (bird's nest), palm (bear paw), tendons (deer tendons), toad (far steamed bun), and then there are elephant trunks, hump, ape lips, deer tails, monkey brain, leopard fetus, rhinoceros nose, civets, abalone, turtle edge, dried scallops, giant salamander, red swallow, flying dragon, swan, peacock, monkey head fungus, etc.

The most famous eight treasures are the gourd lips, bird's nest, hump, bear's paw, deer tendons, monkey head, leopard fetus, and fox toads. (Please raise your hand after eating more than six flavors, let me worship it)

But there were still some soldiers who didn't recognize this army, and they were subconsciously stunned for a moment when they saw this army.

All of these camels were armed soldiers, and some camels carried two baskets. One basket looked from below and you could still see stones weighing more than ten pounds, and another basket contained a strange equipment.

In the middle, a fierce-looking young general raised two big flags next to him. One big flag had two words: Geshu. The other big flag was: Tianshu.

When Que Teqin saw these two big banners, he immediately thought, could it be Geshuhan who came in person?

He didn't know Ge Shuhan, so he subconsciously looked at the young general. The young general was wearing a lion-rolled helmet with several strands of red tassels floating on it. His face looked like cinnabar, and his two green eyebrows stood upright, showing majestic spirit. He was wearing a fish scale blood-red armor and holding a bright silver spear.

Even when the enemy saw such a general, Que Teqin couldn't help but shout a secret charm in his heart.

But Que Teqin immediately woke up and realized that this person might have been the real brother Shu Hanjia, otherwise there would be no such charm.

Another question arises. Since Ge Shuhan came from Tuyuhun, all of this was a trap set by the Blood Camp long ago, waiting for him to drill into it. He even thought that it was possible that the reason why he escaped was that the Blood Camp deliberately let them escape?

He had a very flexible mind and could no longer hesitate now. There were only two roads. Since he was ambushed, he could only retreat. But Que Teqin did not retreat. I don’t know how many enemies came. Anyway, it was so dark that he stood a dense layer on the hill.

More than half of the soldiers did not know Camel. It was impossible for Que Teqin to not know him.

If under normal circumstances, a camel is not as fast as a war horse. It also has a disadvantage. Although it can keep it for four or five days without eating or drinking after a meal and carries more things, its total appetite is greater than that of a war horse. It also has a large size and clumsy movements, such as climbing a cliff and wall. If it is a war horse, soldiers can come down and lead the horse and climb past, but the camel cannot.

But in a special environment, that is, the current desert, because there are many quicksands, the speed of the horse is not as fast as that of the camels.

This also shows Queteqin's erudition, and the fact is that the Great Cannibals turned the Mediterranean into their inland lake, relying on the Great Cannibals, not the camel.

Now he retreats, instead of avoiding his strengths and raising his weaknesses. Moreover, he also saw some soldiers in the Blood Camp start to put stones on the shelves of such strange equipment.

He shouted, "Road forward."

There was no upward rushing. Although the number of people had the advantage, the terrain was not favorable. If you wanted to collide, it might be just the same as the other party's wishes. No matter how large the war horse was, it was not as good as a camel. If the enemy rushed down from top to bottom, half of the subordinates might roll over.

At this moment, Geshuhan pressed the flag down hard, and some soldiers immediately got off their horses, stood behind the camels in the camel team with baskets, and placed the strange equipment on the saddle. The stones were removed, and stones fell from the sky.

Geshuhan's move is the second variable this time.

In order to completely convince Mochu, Wang Hua ordered Ge Shuhan to return from Tuyuhun immediately. Of course, Guo Yuanzhen was not very happy and began to complain, but considering the current situation of the Blood Camp, he had no choice but to agree. No matter what, the Blood Camp is also a friendly army.

He drew 6,000 troops and then drew 3,000 soldiers from Jishishan's pitiful forces to support Guo Yuanzhen again.

In fact, the Tuyuhun wilderness is basically the world of Guo Yuanzhen's army, but there are only a few important cities that have not been taken down, and there are some checkpoints in the south.

Therefore, after listening to Lun Gongren’s plan, Guo Yuanzhen bet on Lun Gongren and Xiao Song and his party.

However, Wang Hua also made a request, that is, to transfer six thousand camels from Tuyuhun. It was familiar with riding horses, and everyone was very awkward to ride camels. Fortunately, they entered Liangzhou from Tuyuhun and then went directly into the desert. After several days, they had the foundation of riding horses and gradually became familiar with each other.

But in Liangzhou they brought some things over, which was actually a trencher, which is a replica of the Xixia whirlwind cannon.

This cyclone cannon is based on the principle of leverage. It is a small single-tip stone thrower with short and heavy arms long. The force arm is pulled and dragged with ropes. The stone bullet is placed at the end of the heavy arms. The fulcrum is equipped with a rotating shaft to reduce friction. Then it rotates around this rotating shaft or gun shaft. If three people operate, they can change the direction at any time and adjust the shooting direction to launch the stone bullet.

But no matter what, it is a catapult, and it can only be placed on the camel saddle to launch. Don’t think about war horses.

This time, due to time constraints, I only had time to build 500 units. I also performed along the way, and now I can barely get used to it.

But when approaching the ambush, Geshuhan also led his army to the distance, but to the south. Then he sent a few scouts who could endure hardships to lie in the sand dunes to monitor. It was not until he could also lead two or three hundred soldiers to pass by that he pulled out the team and ambushed behind the hills.

On the other hand, Wang Hua came up with something strange, which was an unconventional weapon from Xixia, and it was all out of place.

After slaughtering cattle and sheep, cut off the head or make a small hole in the spine, take out the bones and flesh, invade the outer skin for three or five days, expose it to the sun for one day after there is a strange smell, remove the hair and fill it with salt and oil for another four or five days, and the skin is reddish-brown. When crossing the river, blow it with tools, tighten the air holes, and float on the water surface, which can be the fastest and simplest tool for crossing the river.

This can also be a surprise move, especially several armies entering Chang'an. For example, Mochuo, if there were this Huntuo, he would not have been passive to crossing the Yellow River last time. Wang Hua thought of this inspiration and immediately sent someone to create it, but it had nothing to do with the war on Geshuhan's side.

There are a large number of five hundred whirlwind cannons, but for a 10,000 army, it is not a large number, and most of the stone bombs fall out. The launch speed is very slow, and only three to five stone bombs can be fired in a minute. However, this is not killing, but a serious shock. As long as it hits the head, even if it is wearing a thick helmet, it will most likely die.

At the same time, there were other soldiers. Because the camel was wide and resistant, they all sat on the back of Luo, and without even getting the camel, they started firing longbows. The distance is still a bit far away, and the Turkic army began to intentionally distance themselves from the north, but some bows and arrows still caused damage.

There was a rain of stone and arrows. Although the Turks continued to run forward, the formation began to become a little scattered.

Seeing this opportunity, Geshuhan immediately raised his spear and said, "Run."

In addition to the whirlwind cannon team and related gunners, more than a thousand people fell behind, and more than four thousand people blew down Qiushan like a whirlwind.

Although Que Teqin reacted quickly, his cavalry was obviously behind the opponent in this desert area. There was another advantage, because now the southwest was blowing, and the blood camp had the upper hand, with his back facing the wind. It almost became a replica of Zhang Shougui's battle with Cao Cen.

If you are running northeast, facing the wind and sand, and then fighting against the enemy with your butt?

Que Teqin was running while sweating anxiously for the current situation.

ps: I had a small explosion today. Please vote or something, give me some motivation.
