Li Dejian looked very proud and said to Li Yinhuan as if he was presenting a treasure: "Sister, how about this barbed wire fence that big brother made? It's unexpected, isn't it?"
Li Yinhuan exclaimed in amazement, then added, "This wire mesh isn't difficult to make. The difficulty lies in making the iron so flexible. Even though it's fine iron, it's like silk rope."
Li Dejian said proudly: "Brother, you have brilliant ideas. Of course you can do what others cannot!"
then.
Chen Wujiu then commanded his soldiers to do the same with the remaining barbed wire on the carts and push them down.
Four more barbed wire fences were immediately erected.
The shape of Haoshuichuan can be described as a series of zigzags, and even if they are divided into the same unit, they cannot see the front and the back.
The positions chosen by Chen Wujiu and Li Yinhuan were all where the flags of Li Shibin’s army were located.
Li Shibin's army was directly divided into four sections.
Only then did Li Shibin realize that among the carts he was chasing, except for the first one which was loaded with a gun, three swords and arrows, the other fourteen carts were all loaded with barbed wire.
Two of them were used by the enemy to block the valley entrance, and the remaining twelve were used to cut off their own 7,000 troops.
The three blockade lines had now stretched out four layers of ring-shaped iron nets covered with spikes, creating a no-man's land of more than thirty steps in the rebel ranks.
It was effortless for the enemy to set up this death line, but it was extremely difficult for me to break through it.
In order to avoid the barbed wire, the rebels' formation has been completely disrupted.
Li Shibin saw this and knew he could no longer hold on. He immediately ordered, "Abandon the entire army! Break out to the left wing!"
The enemy's number is similar to ours, and they are surrounded in an ambush. As long as we find a way to break through, we can break through the encirclement and turn the tide of the battle!
The most tragic scene of the Battle of Haoshuichuan began to appear, and the rebels rushed towards the ridge regardless of their lives.
But the enemy was in a dominant position, and bows and arrows, gravel... and all kinds of prepared military supplies kept pouring down.
Especially the stone caltrop thrown by the enemy - a kind of protective gear that the rebels had never seen before, consisting of four irregular branches, shaped like caltrops, each nearly a foot long.
It fell to the ground with three sides facing down and one side facing up. It was made of neither iron nor wood, but was similar to stone. Together with the barbed wire, it formed an insurmountable obstacle.
A soldier tried his best to smash the caltrops open, but found that there were sharp iron branches inside the stone.
Fear spread among the rebels. They had been chasing the enemy for more than forty miles and were already exhausted. The enemy's various strange weapons made their courage and strength useless.
The army was in great chaos and was not far from defeat.
They might not be able to wait for Yan Cetian's reinforcements.
No matter who it is, it would come to mind.
The once powerful Qin army was defeated in the blink of an eye. It was completely defeated and turned into ashes.
