Xiao Hanzheng said calmly: "Protect the camp below and kill the horses above."
Then another group of thousands of soldiers ran out from behind.
They also carried things on their backs, but they were bamboo sticks.
They quickly spliced the bamboo sticks into a long bamboo pole with a sharp barb at the front end.
As soon as the shields were removed, these people immediately rushed out and used long bamboo poles to hook, and just in time a team of Ge cavalrymen were rushing over on horseback.
The sharp hook is always accurate.
The traps dug by Ge Guo were not all over the ground, but there was a distance between each pit.
Their cavalry had been specially trained to charge back and forth on horseback before burying the objects.
So this would be the same charge as in training, and those horses avoided the trap.
But just as they rushed over, they were hooked, and the horses fell to the ground, carrying the cavalrymen on them as well.
At least half of them, along with their horses or thrown off by their horses, fell into the trap they had set themselves, screaming in agony.
Yelu Donghe's eyes narrowed, obviously he didn't expect Xiao Hanzheng to have made so many preparations.
However, the trap they had set before backstabbed their own people.
He changed his strategy, "Infantry charges first."
So the Ge soldiers who were not riding horses took up their weapons and rushed towards the soldiers from Daliang.
Xiao Hanzheng drew his sword, "The time to earn military merit has come, charge!"
So the soldiers from Daliang also rushed forward.
The soldiers on both sides fought in a group.
Yelu Donghe also rushed over on horseback with a big sword in his hand and slashed at Xiao Hanzheng.
Not willing to be outdone, Xiao Hanzheng blocked the opponent's attack with his sword, and soon the two coaches started fighting back and forth.
Shi Qingluo saw that the time was almost up.
She asked several soldiers to bring up the small black ball she took out from the warehouse.
These homemade bombs were made secretly by her and her husband, but this time the master still has to take the blame.
"You should follow my example and light these small black balls with catapults, then throw them towards the Ge army that is still surrounding us under the city wall."
No one present knew what this thing was and was a little confused.
Liang Hengxiao looked at the black ball and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this?"
This thing is so small, it won’t hit many people if it’s thrown out.
Shi Qingluo replied: "It is something with great lethality, you will know in a moment."
She picked up a few small black balls, lit them on fire, and put them into the catapult.
He shouted to the soldiers, "Throw it out quickly."
She and her husband had previously thought that these homemade explosives would need to be operated by a catapult, so the fuse was made relatively long so that it would not easily explode before being thrown out.
When the soldier heard her words, he did not hesitate and threw several small black balls into the large group of Ge soldiers.
When the soldiers of the Ge State saw the small black ball falling from the sky, they thought it was a stone or something and did not take it seriously.
"There's something wrong with those people in Daliang. They threw such a small stone but couldn't kill anyone. What do they want to do?"
Someone sneered, "You don't have the energy to throw a big rock after being hungry for two days."
The others laughed too.
Who knew that before their laughter died down, those little black balls suddenly exploded, swallowing them and their voices together.
The explosion caused instant casualties.
Moreover, the sound of the explosion startled the horses of the people on both sides of the war.
Xiao Hanzheng's horse followed him from the capital to the northern border. When he went to experiment with homemade bombs, he deliberately took the horse up the mountain.
But it was the first time that Yelu Donghe's horse heard such an explosion and was immediately startled.
Then Xiao Hanzheng found the opportunity and stabbed Yelu Donghe's shoulder with a sword.
Yelu Donghe reacted quickly. After being stabbed, he quickly jumped off his horse, which was running around in panic.
Then he led his men back.
This unexpected little black ball also disrupted Yelu Donghe's strategic plan.
The soldiers on the city wall were shocked again when they saw this.
"What is this little black ball? It's so powerful."
"Oh my god, just a few small balls actually killed a large number of Ge soldiers."
"This is extremely lethal."
Shi Qingluo said, "This is a small ball that my master once made. I put some of it in the supplies and brought it here together this time."
She ordered again, "Keep throwing. When their people are scattered and in a panic, we will rush out."
The soldiers present nodded quickly, "Yes!"
Then he followed Shi Qingluo's example, first lighting the small black ball with a tinder, then placing it on the catapult and throwing it out.
“Boom!”
As bursts of explosions rang out, the soldiers of the Ge State who were besieging the small town fell one after another.
The soldiers who were still alive near the city wall were terrified and instinctively scattered in all directions to escape.
Shi Qingluo led his men down the city wall and rode on horses.
She drew her sword and shouted to the soldiers who were ready: "Soldiers, follow me and fight."
The soldiers shouted excitedly: "Charge them! Charge them!"
Then the city gate was opened, Shi Qingluo led his troops out, and quickly cleared out the Ge soldiers who were fleeing everywhere.
Yelu Donghe had been rescued by his deputy general at this time, who was protecting him as he retreated.
Seeing Shi Qingluo rushing over with a group of spirited soldiers, his face darkened.
What happened to you saying you'll be hungry and have no strength?
These Daliang people are so treacherous.
Although they had heard from spies before that Xiao Hanzheng's plan was to attack from both inside and outside, the soldiers on the Ge State side didn't really take it seriously and thought it was unlikely.
They were caught off guard, especially since they didn't know what the object was and it actually killed many of their soldiers. This also made everyone panic, fearing that the object would hit them.
Seeing this, Xiao Hanzheng shouted, "Shoot them."
At the same time, he took out a signal flashlight from his arms and released a bunch of red fireworks.
Everyone saw that some of the Daliang soldiers who were fighting suddenly rolled up their sleeves, revealing a crossbow.
Then one crossbow after another was fired, killing the Ge soldiers standing near them.
Then a cavalry group from Daliang suddenly rushed over from the side, and those standing not far away took out bows and arrows, aiming at the generals and leaders of the Ge State and shooting them.
They are all trained archers and every shot they make is accurate.
This is the Divine Archery Battalion specially trained by Xiao Hanzheng. A part of the people were previously assigned to escort King Yi back to the capital.
Now these are all that are left, but no one should underestimate them. They are like messengers of death, and there is nothing they cannot hit as long as they aim at it.
Xiao Hanzheng's idea of training this team also came from chatting with his young wife.
He himself was a little surprised that the effect was so good and unexpected.
