Chapter 1504: Heavy losses

"What, there are only more than 100 people. Ye Shikai and Shangguan Jian looked at each other, both of them were shocked when they heard the news, the Yingling camp is the gateway of the entire Beast Mountain, the terrain is steep, one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, if Ye Shikai is Yan Yu, at least two thousand people will be arranged here, if the command is appropriate, it is enough to hold on for more than half a month, but Yan Yu only arranged more than 100 people here, which is equivalent to leaving an empty camp.

"Yes, and most of the enemy troops guarding the camp are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they will collapse at the touch of a button, and General Man has now taken control of the entire camp and is preparing to send someone to inform you. ”

"Let's go inside. Ye Shikai rode directly into the camp, as the soldier at the door said, there is indeed no trace of battle here, a team of Qin troops is escorting prisoners of war to come, Ye Shikai stepped forward to take a closer look, sure enough, the youngest of these prisoners of war is only a child of about fourteen years old, and a few people are skinny, as if they haven't eaten for a long time, they are simply a group of refugees.

"Are these prisoners of war? Shangguan Jian dismounted and carefully observed everyone, they held their heads in their hands, their faces were full of fear, they didn't look like warriors at all.

"Back to Shangguan and Junhou, it was they who surrendered after we came in, so we didn't kill them. ”

"Okay, take them down. Shangguan Jian nodded in response and ordered the sergeant to guard strictly.

"Lao Ye, it seems that our first step has been successful, after taking the Eagle Ridge camp, they will lose the commanding heights, and we can also use this place as a base camp, fight high and low, advance and attack, retreat and defend, and grasp the initiative on the battlefield. Shangguan Jian turned his head and said, breathing a long sigh of relief, he thought that a bloody battle would be inevitable tonight, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

"Something's wrong, why are there only so many soldiers guarding here? Ye Shikai was still puzzled, Yan Yu was also a general of Wei before, so he shouldn't be so stupid.

"Old Ye, could it be that Yan Yu heard that we were coming, and planned to retain his strength, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to fight, so he had already withdrawn from Beast Mountain. Shangguan Jian guessed.

"No, cowardice before fighting is a taboo for soldiers, if I am Yan Yu, if I want to preserve my strength and leave the Beast Mountain, I will send heavy troops to defend the Eagle Ridge camp, one, the stubborn defense can delay us and buy time for the evacuation, and the other is also to confuse us and make us think that they have not left the Beast Mountain. Ye Shikai analyzed, all in all, Yan Yu had almost no reason to take the initiative to abandon the camp.

The two of them continued to walk deeper with the guards, and suddenly, a pungent smell faintly came from the air.

"Shangguan, do you smell anything? Ye Shikai's face sank, and he said in a cold voice, Shangguan Jian inhaled hard.

"It seems to be...... Oil. ”

"What, not good. Ye Shikai suddenly shouted, walked into a warehouse next to him, pushed open the door and walked in directly, in the room, the smell of oil was obvious.

Ye Shikai pulled out his saber and slashed hard at the beam of the warehouse, and many black solids fell from it.

"What is this. Ye Shikai asked, and a guard stepped forward, took the solid in his hand, and looked at it with the help of the firelight.

"My lord, this is charcoal. ”

"Oops. Ye Shikai looked up and saw that the beams of the house were covered with black charcoal, and oil was poured on the four walls.

"The whole army withdraws from the camp, quickly. Ye Shikai ran out of the house and shouted loudly, the army didn't react at first, and Mancang, who was not far away, heard the shout and immediately ran over.

"My lord, what's going on. ”

"The camp has been filled with flammable materials, and the enemy is trying to lure our troops in, and then burn down the camp, so that all the sergeants can evacuate, quickly. Ye Shikai shouted loudly.

"What, but quite a few sergeants have already set up camp. ”

"Less nonsense, get out quickly. Ye Shikai was so anxious that he kicked Man Cang to the ground and shouted hoarsely.

"Wow. ”

When the whole army heard the order, they ran out of the camp one after another, but after all, there were 3,000 troops here, and the location of the camp was rugged and the roads were narrow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Suddenly, countless fiery arrows suddenly rose from the woods outside the camp and fell into the camp like meteors.

Ahhh

The arrows of the fire fell on the roof, and immediately ignited the charcoal spread on it, and the flames engulfed the house in the blink of an eye, and countless arrows fell one after another, and soon, the whole camp fell into a sea of fire, and many of the sergeants who did not run out were instantly surrounded by flames, and the flames fell on their bodies, and they rolled on the ground in pain.

"Quick, take off your burning clothes. Ye Shikai shouted loudly, there were a lot of ignitions in the camp, in addition to charcoal, there were buckets of fuel oil, the slightest spark, the whole barrel exploded, the ignited fuel oil was poured on the sergeant's body, the flame attached to their clothes and burned, just enough to kill.

"Be careful, sir. Man Cang picked up the shield and blocked Ye Shikai's head, they had not yet left the camp, they were also exposed to the range of the enemy's arrows, arrows rained down from the sky, and the sergeants who took off their armor were unprotected and fell to the ground with arrows.

"Quick, get out of the camp. Ye Shikai pushed open the full warehouse and shouted loudly, the three thousand sergeants were fatally attacked, the army's morale was discouraged, and the originally orderly evacuation turned into a hasty retreat, and in the panic, there were countless casualties.

Sou.

An arrow fell from the air, right in the middle of Ye Shikai's left arm, and a sharp pain came, and he realized that he had been hit by the arrow.

"Your Excellency. Seeing this, Mancang immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ye Shikai, "Shield soldier, protect the adult." ”

A group of guards held shields and set up a shield array in front of Ye Shikai, Ye Shikai held back the pain, held his breath, and pulled the arrow off his arm, and the blood immediately flowed down, down the arm to the palm.

"Lao Ye, it's too dangerous here, let's evacuate quickly. Shangguan Jian persuaded him.

"No, there are still many brothers who have not withdrawn, and I will stay here to command. Ye Shikai said firmly.

"Lao Ye, the command will be handed over to me, Mancang, you take the general and leave first. Shangguan Jian shouted loudly.

"Oh, sir, let's go. Mancang pulled Ye Shikai and evacuated the camp under the protection of the guards.

An hour later.

"Doctor, can the arrow be poisoned? ”

"Fortunately, the arrow is non-poisonous, and it did not hurt the general's bones, just a flesh wound, and it is enough to recuperate for half a month. "In the barracks, the military doctor is treating Ye Shikai's wounds, there is an iron arrow on the plate, which is stained with blood, Ye Shikai is anxious, I am afraid that now, the pain of the arrow wound is less than one-tenth of the pain in his heart, the troops were attacked by fire, and the losses were heavy, until now, the casualties have not been counted.
