The barbarian didn't even see Chu Huan's shadow, so he stumbled.

Ibrahimovic watched hundreds of cavalrymen turn their backs on their backs and almost wiped out the entire army, and almost went mad with anger.

A ditch, a big pit was dug on the west side of the ditch, such a simple trap, easily killed hundreds of cavalry, Ibrahimovic thought that the heavy snow weather could protect the wild cavalry, but only now did he realize that those who are really good at taking advantage of the heavy snow weather, It seems to be still an opponent.

The barbarian soldiers came aggressively, but had to stop in front of a trench, losing hundreds of elite cavalry, not to mention missing the legendary King of Chu, even the shadow of the Northwest Army.

Ibrahimovic couldn't figure out why the dozen or so northwest rangers were safe and sound when they rushed over.

But at this moment, he has already noticed one thing. Since the opponent dug trenches here to lay traps, and even sent rangers to deliberately lure them, it means that the Northwest Army is already prepared.

The Northwest Army has always maintained silence, but there is a chill in it. Even if hundreds of barbarians were killed, the Northwest Army camp is still silent.

Chu Huan looked down from a high position, and of course he knew why the Northwest Rangers came over unharmed.

Because the trench is not connected from north to south, but there are several narrow passages in the middle of the trench that have not been excavated, and these places are marked very concealedly. The barbarian cavalry cannot see it, but the northwest ranger is very clear. They passed through several narrow roads safely, and in order to be safe, they had specially rehearsed in advance and were very familiar with it.

It was impossible for the barbarians to think that there would be traps where the rangers passed under the heavy snow. They were so excited to chase, seeing that the opponent passed through safely, they never thought that the appearance of the rangers was the beginning of the trap.

Gu Liangchen was standing beside Chu Huan at this time, seeing the scene at the foot of the mountain, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this ditch has killed so many barbarians. I don't know if the tens of thousands of cavalry are enough for us to kill?"

"It seems that you like killing barbarians very much?" Chu Huan smiled.

Gu Liangchen sneered and said: "They burned, killed and looted on our land, thinking that they will be invincible. This time, they just want to let them have a look. Some places can't come and go."

But Chu Huan looked at the dark barbarians and said: "They have tens of thousands of cavalry. The barbarians have been riding horses and archery since they were young. They are good at fighting. We must not underestimate them."

"My lord, how do you know that the barbarians will definitely come to attack?" Gu Liangchen was a little puzzled, "They knew that our cavalry had gone to the grassland, so they should have returned to the army to rescue them."

"If it was a mess, the barbarians would have gone away long ago." Chu Huan said: "Although they are brave and ruthless, they are undisciplined, but it does not mean that they are stupid. Attacking Hexi is such a big event, if they fight on their own, they must They don't have any confidence in themselves, so they elected that Tushi Khan as their leader." Turning his head to look at Gu Liangchen, he said with a smile: "Do you think they want to be the leader who is promoted like this? What's the matter?"

Gu Liangchen thought for a while before saying, "Liwei!"

"That's right." Chu Huan praised: "It hits the nail on the head. For this kind of temporary leader who has been promoted, they certainly hope to take this opportunity to gain power. To gain power, the first task is to make meritorious service. After the leader, no matter what, he will take down the city of Wuping Mansion. Only in this way can he raise his prestige to all the tribes in the grassland. If he fails halfway, the prestige of Sushi will not only not increase, but will be greatly reduced. Therefore, this king concludes that Wuping Mansion has not been defeated. Before, at least Tushi would never retreat."

Gu Liangchen nodded slightly, and asked, "Your Majesty, according to your opinion, if the Wuping Mansion has been captured, they may return to the grassland if they learn that the grassland has been attacked?"

"It should be so." Chu Huan said: "It's just that Dingwu defends the city firmly, and the barbarians have not taken it yet. Even if the barbarians knew that the grassland was attacked, Tu Shi would never be willing to withdraw his troops back to the grassland. But if he does nothing , the defense of the barbarians is unstable, and people's hearts are lax, which of course is not what Tu Shi wants to see."

"So Your Majesty expects that he will definitely send people to make a surprise attack?" Gu Liangchen understood, "Only in this way can we stabilize the hearts of the barbarians?"

"They know that our cavalry has gone deep into the grassland, so they naturally hate us. If they suddenly send troops to attack us, the barbarians will naturally be impatient." Chu Huan sneered, "And since they know that our cavalry has gone Grassland, it is estimated that our strength is unbearable, if we take this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on us, the prestige of Su Shi will naturally increase greatly."

Gu Liangchen smiled and said: "It turns out that everything is in the plan of the king. The barbarians think they are smart, but how do they know that every move they make is in our calculations." His brows were slightly tightened, "But the barbarians divided their troops and decided to fight against them." Come on, the pressure on Wuping Mansion will be greatly weakened, and by doing this, we will actually help Dingwu."

"The barbarians have been harassing the border for a long time, and how many people in the Central Plains have been killed by them." Chu Huan's expression became solemn, and his eyes were stern: "Now tens of thousands of barbarians are heading south, and the people in Hexi are miserable. They burned, killed and looted in Hexi. If we don't stop them, this disaster will probably spread further. People are not strong enough to swallow like snakes. If the barbarians really occupy Wuping Mansion, they may not let it go..., the barbarian soldiers Cruelty, as long as you are a bloody man, you can't turn a blind eye to it. If you have to sit idly by at this time, it will make the barbarians even more rampant. Of course we want to wipe out Qin, but the barbarians are raging and endangering the Central Plains. Naturally, we have to prioritize Clearly, at a time like this, eradicating the danger of the barbarians is the most urgent task."

Gu Liangchen restrained his expression and said: "What Your Majesty said is that it is the last general's luck to be able to fight against the barbarians together with His Majesty. We must beat these beasts back to their hometowns."

At this time, tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry looked at the ditch in front of them, and the ditch was nothing. With the equestrian skills of the barbarian cavalry, it was easy to cross the ditch, but the deep pit on the other side of the ditch How many there are, and how much attack power the Northwest Army battalion, which has not made any movement so far, is now starting to worry the barbarians.

Although Ibrahimovic is impulsive, he is not a reckless person, and this time he has commanded an army of tens of thousands, and he has learned from the past, but he dare not act rashly.

He knew that even if the opponent's strength was not as good as the barbarian iron cavalry, he was still a difficult opponent.

The northwest barracks were intricate and complicated. He had even seen knives and guns protruding from the back of the tent. The knives and guns were cold, but he didn't know how many soldiers were hiding in that deadly continuous camp.

A barbarian at the side approached and said softly: "Ibrahimovic, the Central Plains people are very cunning, in order to avoid too much unnecessary damage, it is better to send a small group of people to go up on foot first, to find out the size of the trench and how many holes there are on the other side of the trench. , Those are covered with snow, as long as they are cleared, we can see clearly, and it will not be too late to attack."

The other person raised his hand and pointed in a half circle, "Look, their camp is within the mouth of the valley, and they put themselves in their pockets. Since they have already noticed our whereabouts and are prepared, we are not in a hurry As we fought, I heard a saying from the people of the Central Plains, which is called... By the way, catch the urn, let's guard the exit, they have no way to escape, let's approach them step by step, and block them inside. "

The previous barbarian immediately said: "We press on every step, if we can force them out, it will be fine. You see, there is indeed no trace of cavalry in the valley. If they really come out, we can easily defeat them. "

After Ibrahimovic calmed down, he knew that since the Northwest Army was prepared, it might be very difficult to quickly resolve the battle. If they rushed forward, they might fall into other traps. What these two generals said was good, and they kept stepping forward. Forced, leaving the Northwest Army with nowhere to escape.

He wasn't worried about the food for the troops. When the troops were dispatched, each soldier carried ten days' worth of food, which was enough to stay here for several days.

Ibrahimovic got off his horse and didn't hesitate at the moment. On the one hand, he sent rangers to patrol the vicinity, and on the other hand, he sent people to clean up the ditches and pits.

He was indeed a little annoyed. Fighting in the Central Plains was far less enjoyable than fighting in the grasslands. When the grassland tribes annexed each other, there were all kinds of weird ways. Even if the opponent had a simple defense, they only needed to ride their horses. The trenches frustrate the spirit of the army, which is indeed a bit annoying, but in order to avoid unnecessary damage as much as possible, it is still necessary to remove the obstacles first.

It will naturally take some time to send a team of nearly a thousand people to find out where the ditches and pits are. The barbarians have already dismounted one after another. They have been on their way since midnight last night without stopping. Battalion, the Great Northwest Army was caught off guard, and now the plan has failed, and it will not be able to attack for a while, so naturally they have to dismount and rest.

The soldiers responsible for clearing the obstacles naturally had to carefully bring up the corpses of their companions who fell into the pit and were stabbed to death by sharp wood. The trench was about ten feet wide, and there were corpses of men and horses inside. Although most of the soldiers were already dead, they There are still a very small number of soldiers struggling and twisting in the trap, already dying.

The corpses are easy to deal with, but these dying soldiers are hard to deal with. If they are left alone, they will die in a short time, but if they are carried out from inside, they will be pulled from the sharp wood. There will inevitably be extensive bleeding, and it will die faster.There are no doctors in the barbarian army, and they may be able to help each other deal with simple injuries, but no one can heal such injuries. In desperation, they can only take out the dead bodies first. The undead soldiers can only be ignored temporarily.

Such a scene, even the cruel barbarians saw it in their eyes, and felt terrified in their hearts, and then looked at the Northwest Army camp, which remained silent, with resentment and anger in their eyes.

At this time, Ibrahimovic was sitting on the snow, biting the stiff jerky, thinking about something in his heart.

Suddenly, a burst of screams came, interrupting Ibrahimovic's thoughts. The screams continued, and Ibrahimovic stood up suddenly, followed the sound, and saw the teams cleaning the trenches running here one after another When they came over, everyone was panicked. Ibrahimovic was startled for a moment, and then a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

The camp of the Northwest Army, which had been silent until now, did not have much movement at this time, but from the camp, stones all over the sky flew out like heavy rain, pouring down near the trench.

The stones fell near the ditch and hit the barbarian soldiers heavily. Many barbarian soldiers were still thinking of ways to get the corpses out of the ditch. The sudden stones caught them off guard. The barbarians turned into corpses in an instant, and fell into the trench with bloody flesh and blood smashed by the boulder.

Ibrahimovic was shaking with anger.

Of course he knew what it was. Not long ago, the barbarians used catapults to attack Wuping Prefecture. Ibrahimovic still remembered the scene clearly. The stones thrown by the catapults were so powerful that they Smashed holes in the solid city walls.

He never thought that the catapult could be used like this.

Countless stones flew out from the Northwest Army camp. Of course, they couldn't throw them with their hands, they could only use a catapult to break out these stones.

Even the city walls couldn't withstand the stones thrown by the catapult, let alone the flesh and blood of barbarian soldiers.

The screams continued continuously, like a meteorite from the sky. Sometimes a huge stone could kill several people at once. Those soldiers who were unable to react in time were already covered by the raindrops of the huge stone. Even if they reacted quickly, they raised their feet and ran back. However, many of them were smashed into meat mud by stones falling from the sky.

While Ibrahimovic was annoyed, his heart felt cold. At this moment, he finally understood that the cunning of the Central Plains people was really extraordinary.

At first, Ibrahimovic thought that the trench in front of him was used by the Northwest Army to stop the cavalry from charging, but now he realized that the purpose of the trench was not limited to that.

There is actually a constant distance between the ditch and the continuous barracks of the Northwest Army. If you shoot an arrow from the barracks, it is absolutely impossible to hit the ditch. The ditch is far beyond the range of bows and arrows.

It is also because of this that Ibrahimovic was not worried that the barbarians would be attacked by cold arrows from the Northwest Army when they were clearing the trenches, but he never thought that although the Northwest Army could not shoot arrows and sneak attacks, they used even more terrifying weapons. The stones thrown by the catapult cover a wider area and are more lethal.

The Northwest Army was originally here to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, so it is naturally impossible to lack siege weapons.

The barbarian cavalry who were about to take a good rest were all looking there. Seeing the tragedy in front of them, the barbarian soldiers were both angry and cold.

Seeing those huge stones on the barbarian soldiers, instantly smashing a living and strong man into a pulp, thinking that if these stones fell on him, the hairs of many people would stand on end. But they also became flustered and hissed hooves. There was a commotion in the originally neat team.
