Chapter 104 Make him mad

They may not have such a hard life.

When they thought of this, the expressions of several people became lonely, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became very depressing.

Seeing that the original team of fifty people was now reduced to less than forty due to some injuries, Lu Qiyan felt sad, but said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you back safely."

Do the best he can!
Lu Qiyan is a righteous man. He is also very brave when charging into battle and protecting others behind him. He is not like some team leaders who only know how to order their subordinates to charge forward and then try to take all the credit when it comes to rewards.

Therefore, everyone in the team admired Lu Qiyan very much. Even Zheng Sanfu, who had not been very convinced of Lu Qiyan before, now developed some respect for him.

Seeing Lu Qiyan say this, everyone felt relieved and nodded heavily, "Yes!"

They will definitely be safe!

"The captain is kind to us and he is very skilled, but this time..." Someone hesitated to speak.

This time they set an ambush here in order to tie down the reinforcements coming to support Changzhou Prefecture, cut off all supplies to Changzhou Prefecture, and make it an isolated city.

When the food, fodder and arrows in the city are all gone, that is the day the city will be broken.

However, there were only three armies sent here at this time.

According to the military system of the Great Zhou, one army consists of 2,500 men, but due to recent casualties, the total strength of the three armies is only 6,000 at most.

According to spies, there are more than 10,000 reinforcements coming from this direction.

The disparity in numbers made this battle extremely stressful.

The most important thing is that their battalion was among the troops that took the lead.

And their brigade was placed at the front.

As for the reason for this arrangement, it was not because they were appreciated by their superiors for their bravery and fighting skills under the leadership of Lu Qiyan, but because of the recommendation of Shao Dutou.

Logically speaking, there are two battalions in each city. Since Shao Dutou has nominated them, the two battalions should naturally advance and retreat together.

But Captain Shao forced the battalion commander to transfer another brigade to the rear, leaving Lu Qiyan and others at the front.

The intention is self-evident.

No one cares about dying for the country or being wrapped in a horse's hide.

But being targeted like this is really...

I can't swallow this!

Someone thought of this and angrily cursed, "What is this Shao Dutou thinking?"

After all, they are soldiers under his command. Why does he treat them so lightly and discriminate against them?
"What else can you think? Isn't it because you think our captain is more powerful than him and you're afraid that he will take his place, so you're here to trip him up?"

So that Lu Qiyan would be seriously injured or even die on this battlefield.

At the very least, no matter who on the team is injured or killed, Lu Qiyan will feel that he is implicated and feel guilty.

What a vicious trick!
After these words were spoken, the people nearby were all filled with indignation, and they wished they could tear Shao Du's head into pieces, only then would they feel relieved.

"Please suppress your anger for now and save it for when you kill the enemy later." Lu Qiyan said in a deep voice.

Now that things have come to this, anger and indignation are useless. The only way to take revenge on those you hate is to fight bravely, save your own life, and win due credit.

"Of course." The people around nodded, "But Shao Dutou..."

We can't just let it go like this towards such a black-hearted person.

"What a fool! You survived and killed so many enemies. Wouldn't the credit you earned make him angry to death?"

"That's right, listen to the captain, hold back your strength and save it for killing the enemy. Isn't Shao the one who is most afraid of our captain taking the top position? So we have to push our captain up!"

"Yes, make him mad!"

After everyone figured this out, they stopped thinking about Shao Dutou, the bastard, and just polished their spears and swords until they were shiny and sharp. After thinking for a moment, Lu Qiyan told the people below what tactics they could use to maximize their own safety and kill the enemy during the charge.

Based on the entire army's battle plan later, the first traps will be tripwires, caltrops and other traps, followed by archers' arrow rain attacks, and then these infantrymen will go into battle and kill.

At that time, they will bypass the spearmen in the vanguard, attack from the middle waist of the enemy army, and enter the melee and chopping stage.

Lu Qiyan’s strategy was to form a group of three, combining small-scale defense and attack, and even helping each other, striving to survive the first wave of attacks and allow the next team to move forward.

Lu Qiyan spoke seriously, and the people below listened carefully and memorized his words carefully.

The sun moved across the sky from the east and set in the west.

In the evening, the spies brought news that the enemy was about twenty miles away from the ambush site.

At this rate, the battle will begin around the hour of Hai.

Orders began to be passed in the army, ordering everyone to be on high alert.

All the soldiers were on high alert, staring intently at the front.

As the sun sets, the western sky is dyed red, the noisy chirping of cicadas gradually ceases, and is replaced by the high and low singing of summer insects that are active at night.

The night gradually enveloped the entire earth, and the stars were faintly visible in the clouds in the night sky.

The dim moonlight made the moving torches particularly dazzling and eye-catching.

As the number of torches gradually increased and the sounds of hurried horse hooves and footsteps got closer and closer, everyone's breathing became heavier.

coming!

Wow!

The sudden rise of the tripwire caused the galloping horse to fall to the ground, neighing.

The caltrops made the horses and many enemy soldiers wail continuously.

Whoosh whoosh!
Dense rain of arrows flew out from the bow, cutting through the air and flying towards the densely packed enemy troops.

The sudden attack caught the enemy off guard and threw them into panic.

Take advantage of it now!

"Kill!" Lu Qiyan rushed out first, waving the long sword in his hand.

"kill!"

Everyone also shouted angrily and rushed forward with Lu Qiyan.

The sound of fighting suddenly broke the sky.

The wind rose from the horizon, blowing away the white clouds in the sky. The crescent moon hanging in the western sky appeared, casting its bright light all over the earth.

Xia Mingyue suddenly opened her eyes and sat up subconsciously.

When he realized it was already late at night, he breathed a sigh of relief and lay down again.

The moonlight shines through the window paper, illuminating the room, and one can see the shadow of the window frame falling on the ground.

Xia Mingyue was no longer sleepy. She looked at the mottled shadows on the ground, then looked at the dark night through the crack in the window.

His gaze finally fell on Lu Qiyan's kang.

He should be able to return safely...

Because she woke up twice in one night, Xia Mingyue woke up a little late the next day, and there were even some dark circles under her eyes.

　Regarding the military system, each dynasty is very different. Even within a dynasty, it is frequently changed due to different emperors. According to the information the author has found in "Song History·Military Records 100", three people form a squad, nine people form a squadron, and fifty people form a battalion. The leaders are all team heads, which are the basic combat units. Above that, 500 people form a du (two battalions), the commander is the du head, 5 people form a battalion (2500 du), 5 people form an army (25000 battalions), and 10 people form a wing ( armies). The highest commander above the battalion is the commander. Given that this system is relatively intuitive and simple, the author draws on this part of the information to write~
