Chapter 208 Waiting for the battle
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen, who was sleeping, was awakened by the desolate sound of horns outside.
I hurriedly dressed and got up, and ran out, only to see Yan Luo, Lu Fei and others were already neatly dressed and guarding outside the tent.
"The enemy army is coming?" Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"Well, according to the battle report just received, the enemy army is already ten miles away." Lu Fei said.
"It's finally here, how many people are there?" Xiao Chen took the imperial bestowed gold armor handed over by Yan Luo, and put it on his body, he was inevitably a little nervous and a little excited.
"I don't know yet, but there are always tens of thousands of people." Lu Fei suddenly smiled, "Boss, why are you nervous?"
"Nonsense, why am I nervous?" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Your armor is worn backwards..." Lu Fei suppressed a smile.
"Huh? What the hell is this broken armor! There is no distinction between the front and the back...Yan Luo, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and help me fall over, just look at me and make a fool of myself!" Xiao Chen looked down, and turned into anger from embarrassment After that, I also enjoyed myself.
When he arrived at the mountain pass, Zhuge Xiaosheng, Wei Yuntian, Lin Yue and others had already lined up.
Hundreds of brand-new ballistas were all pushed out and placed on the narrow mountain pass, forming a semicircle.
Behind the ballista is a joint combat group composed of one thousand spearmen, one thousand hook and sickle spearmen, one thousand sword soldiers, and five hundred archers.
On the high ground in the forest on the left are 500 musketeers covered by 500 infantry, and there are 1,000 light cavalry, while the most elite 1,000 heavy cavalry are hidden in the forest on the right.
Three thousand infantrymen from Yanyun County had also arrived, and Zhuge Xiaosheng asked them all to serve as a reserve mobile team and stand by in the rear.
Hundreds of meters away from the front of the battle line, there are densely packed horse-rejection posts, which were all made by the craftsmen led by Gongsun Ban within a few days.
With their craftsmanship and various handy tools, it is really not easy to do this kind of simple refusal.
In order to guard against the enemy's fire attack, Zhuge Xiaosheng also ordered people to dig a deep fire ditch around the camp, which was filled with stream water, which not only prevents fire, but also adds another barrier.
This formation is completely defensive, because with their current strength, it is really impossible to launch a confrontation with the Xianbo cavalry. They can only stick to their positions and kill the opponent's vital forces as much as possible.
Zhuge Xiaosheng is now worried that the opponent will have a catapult. Once this destructive attack weapon is put into use, it will bring them catastrophic damage.
So he is considering setting up a voluntary death squad. If he finds that the other party has a catapult, he must destroy it at any cost and never let them use it.
"Let's Feiyiwei go to Ang! We move fast, they can't stop them when we go in, and they can't stop them when we come out." Duan Linger arrived at the front of the battle early, fearing that it would not be her turn to fight, and heard that a death squad would be formed , hurriedly volunteered.
The reason is also sufficient, because this is also a surprise attack mission. In terms of speed, no one can compare to the hundred flying wing guards under her command.
"Let me go." Xiao Ye is purely aggressive, the kind who gets excited when he sees blood. People will be a little nervous when facing a battle, but he is genuinely happy.
And the 100 Xiao cavalry guards under his command are indeed the most capable group in the army, plus he leads them personally, the success rate may reach more than 50%!
But they are all heavy armored cavalry, and it is no problem to charge into the battle, but it is relatively difficult to get out, so if the cavalry guards go up, there will be no return.
"I think our Habayashi Guard is the most suitable for this task." Lu Fei also took the initiative to challenge, "We don't need to get too close, as long as we are within the shooting range of my bow and arrow, we can get it done."
How to do it? Use a rocket.
The catapult is all made of wood structure, very heavy, basically not maneuverable, it is a living target, with their arrows, it is no problem to shoot it from hundreds of steps away.
But the Xianbo people will of course send heavy troops to protect them, and they will never let them approach easily, and they are afraid that they will be surrounded and wiped out before they get close.
The success rate of their actions is very low, if they act together, the success rate is high.
But the higher the success rate, the higher the danger. That's why they are called death squads.
"They are all my guards, and I will lead them." Xiao Chen's adrenaline also began to soar gradually.
My brothers and even my younger sister are all in battle, can I, the boss, be a coward?
nonexistent.
And don't talk to me about the bullshit that the coach can't take risks with his life, it's not the first time for me to take risks with you, boss!
We are here to risk our lives. Only by risking our lives can we have a chance of victory. If we lose, everyone will die!
"Okay, let's do this!" Zhuge Xiaosheng nodded in agreement without thinking.
Because letting the Xiaoqiwei, Feiyiwei and Habayashiwei jointly carry out this task has the highest chance of winning, and considering the overall situation, it can only be done in this way.
Doesn't he know the boss Xiao Chen's temper? He would never stand by and watch Xiao Ye and Duan Linger's two younger brothers and sisters go through life and death, while he watched from behind.
And what the boss said is right, everyone has to risk their lives in this battle, otherwise everyone will be destroyed and no one will survive.
In addition, as the coach, the boss personally led the death squad to charge forward, which was also a great boost to morale.
If there is something wrong with the boss, then we big guys will fight to the death with him, won't it be enough?
Anyway, from the moment they left Yanyun Pass, everyone had already entered the dead end.
If you want to survive, you have to die and survive!
"It's not why you don't take me seriously as the coach?" Zhuge Xiaosheng agreed, but Xiao Chen was a little unhappy.
"Boss, you must remember that your task is to destroy the catapult. After the task is completed, you must not love to fight. You must retreat immediately, but remember not to run back directly. The big guys have to disperse, and you would rather be bitten by them , and you must not be surrounded by them, I will send people to meet you when the time comes." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"It depends on the situation, maybe your boss will rise up and take the head of their commander directly in the tens of thousands of troops!" Xiao Chen's words are really not completely bragging.
"Boss, if you want to think that way, then you can't go!" Zhuge Xiaosheng said coldly, "I'd better go."
"All right, all right, it's okay to listen to you!" Xiao Chen immediately confessed.
"General Zhuge, we all listen to you!" Duan Ling'er was very happy after winning the battle, and flattered Zhuge Xiaosheng, "You are our marshal! I am talking about you!"
"Where's your armor?" Zhuge Xiaosheng didn't like to talk to her.
"I don't need it, brother's silkworm clothes give me the bird! Don't stare, he still has one." Duan Linger smiled triumphantly.
"Hmm..." Zhuge Xiaosheng glanced at Xiao Chen, and thought to himself, this silly girl, don't you know that Duanmu's silk is only a few taels?
You can only cut out three silkworm clothes, one for the emperor, one for the queen mother, and this one for you.
Where can he still have it?
