The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 256 Preparing for a surprise attack
"Very good, now that you have come to join the army and find an opportunity, you have to make more meritorious deeds.

When we come here, we can't just make a small contribution and then leave, but we can repel all the Turks.

Let them know how powerful our Daxia army is.

This way you will get more credit.

I assure you that as long as you follow my instructions, you can win at the minimum cost.

You can definitely defeat the enemy and achieve great success! "

Before setting off, Lin Hai gave a speech.

A pie was drawn for everyone.

The morale of the army is very important.

And what can boost morale is nothing more than the various benefits they get.

By the time they finished speaking, everyone's eyes were shining.

I feel that the Turkic cavalry are not strong at all.

It looks like every one of them has military exploits and can be defeated easily.

Let everyone have a full meal first, and then set off immediately.

The main Turkic forces still don't know about the defeat of their army.

After all, information was transmitted very slowly in ancient times, and everything relied on fast horses.

But the Turkic cavalry was very careless before the battle and was not prepared for defeat at all.

Instead, he led all the soldiers to launch an attack.

Because they never thought that they would be defeated by the Daxia infantry.

After all, there has never been a complete defeat of the cavalry against the infantry in such a battle.

It is precisely because of this that even the scouts they brought were wiped out in order to grab the credit.

Unable to get the message out.

Lin Hai planned to take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Let's work together with Lin Tiangui to see if we can completely defeat the enemy.

If we can severely damage the enemy's army, we will have the capital to negotiate.

In addition, Lin Hai prepared another secret weapon this time to deal with the Turkic cavalry.

That is caltrops.

Throw the caltrops on the ground. Once the horse steps on them, they will be injured and unable to move forward.

As long as it resists the enemy's charge, its combat effectiveness can be reduced to a minimum.

As for artillery, I plan not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Treat artillery as a secret weapon, and then use this trump card when looking for opportunities to fight the enemy's main force.

Although one hundred artillery can cause great damage to the enemy, it cannot completely wipe out the main Turkic force.

Don’t expose it temporarily when it’s not necessary.

Lin Hai led the people to move forward at night.

This time the freight team played an extremely important role again.

Soldiers can rest while sitting in the car and will not be tired at all when they arrive at their destination.

By late night, we had arrived at the border.

Let someone sneak in secretly and shoot the written letter into the city.

Lin Tiangui barely slept a wink these days.

Especially knowing that two thousand Turkic cavalry have entered Daxia.

Make him anxious.

The key is that after much deliberation, the entire court could not find a suitable leader.

What's more, Daxia's cavalry has always been at a disadvantage and cannot catch up with these cavalry.

This is the most troublesome.

He had been thinking about how to send an army to break out.

At least 5 people were needed to encircle and suppress the two thousand cavalry before it was possible to drive the enemy out of Daxia's borders.

I studied until late at night, and just when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard my subordinates coming to report.

Someone came up with an arrow and a letter.

"Marshal, this is a letter someone shot from outside the wall.

It says he is a relative of the Marshal! "

Lin Tiangui took the letter and opened it curiously.

His eyes suddenly widened.

He recognized at a glance that the person writing the letter was his daughter.

The news in the letter shocked him.All two thousand enemy cavalry have been wiped out.

Lin Hai decided to launch an attack on the enemy in the early morning, so Lin Tiangui also quickly prepared to cooperate inside and outside.

After Lin Hai first blocked the enemy's cavalry, Lin Tiangui sent infantry to launch a fierce attack from behind.

A flanking attack from both sides will definitely defeat the enemy completely.

Although Lin Tiangui didn't know what method Lin Hai used to annihilate the enemy's cavalry.

But this letter cannot be fake.

Lin Ruoxue also came with her. It was definitely Lin Hai who led the troops.

With such good news, Lin Tiangui immediately became extremely excited.

Immediately summon the whole army and let them make fire and cook.

After having a full meal, wait until early in the morning when the enemy is most sleepy to attack.

Lin Hai did not specify in the letter how many people he brought with him.

If Lin Tiangui knew that they only had [-] troops, he would definitely not agree to this.

Ten thousand infantrymen were vulnerable to a single blow in front of one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry.

As long as the opponent launches a round of attacks, these [-] infantrymen can be easily eaten.

This is the terrible thing about cavalry.

Fighting on flat ground, infantry is simply unable to resist.

Lin Hai had already led his men to sneak close to a place not far from the Turkic cavalry.

The Turks have surrounded all Daxia's troops in the city.

The enemy army became very arrogant, and even the scouts were not sent out too many.

It just gave Lin Hai a good opportunity to make a surprise attack.

Although I knew that the Daxia army would definitely send reinforcements, I never imagined that they would come so quickly.

Wang Dayong came quietly with Shitou and several others.

They also had some branches tied to their bodies as camouflage.

"How's it going? Has the letter been delivered to the city?"

"Don't worry, sir, we shot arrows in from several places.

And it has been heard that the people inside found the letter tied to the arrow.

I can definitely send it to the prince. "

Lin Hai nodded slightly.

"Well done, you guys should be the first to win the battle this time."

Wang Dayong scratched his head in embarrassment: "This little thing can't be considered the first achievement, right?

When we are hunting in the mountains, it is nothing to hide in disguise. "

"My officer said that you are the first to make the first contribution. Even though the enemy is heavily surrounding you, you can still approach the city secretly and deliver the letter smoothly.

Others simply can't do it.

The key is that if we cannot deliver the letter to the prince, we will not be able to defeat the enemy by cooperating inside and outside.

Do you think what you do is important? Lin Hai said softly.

"Since the Lord has said so, I have no objection."

Wang Dayong said happily.

If he achieved the first success in this battle, wouldn't he also be promoted?

Several people were delighted.

"Everyone obeyed the order and quietly scattered the caltrops we made in front of them.

We also need to dig more holes all around.

This kind of pit must be dug round and deep.

Let the horses' hooves sink in just enough to break their legs when they charge.

We must withstand the enemy's first charge! "

"Liu Ergou, the people you led poured kerosene on the ground. It will serve as the last barrier of our defense."

……

Lin Hai quietly issued orders to get everyone busy.

Everything went on quietly and in an orderly manner.

The sky has begun to turn a little white, and it will be dawn soon.

Lin Tiangui also came to the city wall and looked into the distance.

Lin Hai made it very clear in his letter that he would attract the enemy's attention from behind the Turkic army.
