Chapter 138: Yuan Shu's Anger

"My lord, the latest news that the scouts have detected, our army's checkpoints on the cliffs on both sides of Yique Pass are still there." In Yuan Shu's army, Han Dang came to Yuan Shu with some excitement to report the latest news.

"Checkpoint?" Yuan Shu looked at Han Dang suspiciously.

"Previously, General Yu Shi set up two checkpoints on the cliffs on both sides of Yique Pass, and the soldiers shot arrows down from the top of the mountain to coerce Yique Pass, and now these soldiers are still entrenched on the top of the mountain. Han Dang bowed.

Yang Hong on the side nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, I know why Chen Mo gave up Yique Jiancheng and came here to set up camp instead, the cliffs on both sides of Yique Pass are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to capture it is extremely difficult, it is even more difficult to capture it before our army arrives, rather than this, it is better to give up the strong city, stop our army, and cut off the grain route of the two outposts, which is quite decisive." ”

"Lord, if this is the case, our army only needs to force that Chen Mo back to Yique Pass, and it will already be half victorious!" Zhang Xun on the side said with a smile.

Yuan Shu stroked his beard and nodded, "Can you send some military rations over first?" ”

Yang people gather not to close the city, although the main road is stuck by the other party, but if it is just a small team of people and horses to take a detour to send grain and grass over, it is still okay, provided that no one cares.

"I'm afraid it's hard." Yang Hong shook his head and said: "Chen Mo went out to meet the battle this time, in order to cut off the grain route of the soldiers on the top of the cliff, there must be horses to monitor the trails in various places, and there are many cavalry under his command, if you send a small group of men and horses to deliver food, you will be intercepted by the other party." ”

"In this way, there is only one way to attack." Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Can you rob the camp?" ”

Thinking that his general died under Chen Mo's robbery, Yuan Shu couldn't help but ask.

"Chen Mo must be prepared, but you can also give it a try, if it is successful, it will save a lot of effort." Yang Hong nodded.

Robbing the camp generally doesn't require too many people, just like Chen Mo robbed the camp before, the first time he only brought eight hundred, and later Huaxiong robbed the camp with only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, once the military camp is set up, in fact, his own family is more terrifying than the enemy.

Yuan Shu has an army of 50,000 on his side, and the loss of one or two thousand can still be afforded, but if it succeeds, the benefits will be huge, and this battle may be won directly.

At that moment, Yuan Shu ordered a school of people and horses to be led by a general, and went to rob the camp tonight.

Yang Hong added: "You also need to beware of Chen Mo coming to rob the camp, I asked General Han Dang below, then Chen Mo's methods of robbing the camp are unguardable, don't be careless!" ”

Yuan Shu nodded, Chen Mo's operation of robbing the camp twice in one night also surprised Yuan Shu a little, but what made him angry was how Yu Shi was so careless, the enemy robbed the camp twice, and it collapsed directly, so he arranged for people to guard the camp well, and divided the night vigil soldiers into three rounds and took turns guarding them to maintain full energy and vigilance.

It's a pity that, just as Yang Hong said, the soldiers who robbed the camp returned in vain, and they didn't even touch people's camps, and the soldiers who went to rob the camp were killed by the trap set by Chen Mo outside the camp, and they were shot back by the soldiers guarding the camp with a rain of arrows.

Eight hundred people went, six hundred people returned, and the most important thing was that they didn't even cook at the door, which made Yuan Shu feel quite dull.

"The lord doesn't need to be angry, then Chen Mo is good at robbing the camp, so he will naturally have enough precautions against this." Yang Hong is not in a hurry, this robbery of the camp is just a temptation, and now their strength is Chen Mo's attack, and they can crush Chen Mo's camp with a dignified momentum.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shu began to wave his troops to attack the camp, using heavy equipment such as catapults and rushing vehicles, just to be able to break through Chen Mo's camp in the shortest possible time.

But Chen Mo guarded the camp quite a hand, rushed the car closer, ordered people to use catapults to throw out the oil canisters moved from the city, and then a rocket was fired, a large number of rushing cars and even catapults fell into the sea of fire, were burned, and countless soldiers were burned to death.

Before he attacked the opponent's camp wall, he was given such a hand, Yuan Shu's face was a little unsightly, and he said to Yang Hong beside him: "I remember that there is also fire oil in the army." ”

"Yes, but it will take some time for the new trebuchet to arrive." Yang Hong nodded, and then said helplessly.

"Then withdraw the troops for the time being, and wait!" Yuan Shu said with an ugly face.

It took an hour for the new trebuchet to move to the front of the formation, Yuan Shu was about to order someone to move the trebuchet to the front of the formation, but he saw that the ground suddenly collapsed, and most of the trebuchets fell into the pits that suddenly sank, but Chen Mo calculated the range of the trebuchet yesterday, and before Yuan Shu arrived, he dug a lot of ravines.

At this moment, a large number of canisters of fire oil flew out of the camp, and dozens of catapults caught fire again.

Yuan Shu's face was a little dark, and he shouted, "Why didn't the scout find the trap!?" ”

The generals were also a little speechless, who knew that Chen Mo calculated the range of the catapult to dig a pit, and no one had fought like this on the battlefield before?

"Send someone to extinguish the fire and attack the camp directly!" Yuan Shu also knew that there was no point in pursuing this kind of problem at this time, so he immediately shouted.

The camp is not as good as the city wall, and even if you don't attack the gate, the camp wall made of wooden planks can be easily washed away.

A team of soldiers dug on the spot, under the protection of the shield hand, against the opponent's arrow rain to extinguish the fire and also add to the soil pit, and it took an hour, seeing that the sky was approaching noon, the Yuan army soldiers rushed up against the arrow rain, but in addition to the Yuanmen, the dense wooden thorns all over the camp made it difficult for them to let go of their footsteps and rush, but they were shot a lot by the arrow rain in the camp.

Most of the day has passed, and there are not many soldiers who can touch the other party's wall, and Yuan Shu is now a little eager to rush to Chen Mo with his sword and cut the other party, this battle is too disgusting.

"A concubine is a concubine, and it will only use some vulgar means!" Standing on the wheel, Yuan Shu tried his best to maintain his image, but his chest was constantly agitated, and he was obviously angry.

Next, a group of soldiers braved the rain of arrows to run to clear those barbs, and for a day, the reinforcements were cleaning up the traps laid by Chen Mo, and after clearing those barbs, the sky was almost dark.

"Lord, the soldiers are tired all day, the rice and water have not entered, and now the morale is low, and they can't fight again!" Seeing that Yuan Shu had the intention of fighting overnight, Yang Hong hurriedly persuaded.

Originally, first the other party came down with fire oil and forcibly stopped their attack, and then the pit stopped again, and then it was the barbs all over the ground, which declined again, and then exhausted, not to mention that the soldiers did not enter the rice and water, that is, in terms of morale, and now the siege is definitely a loss.

Yuan Shu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he forcibly held back his anger and said, "Let that little boy live another night!" Mingjin retreats! ”

Bell bell bell bell ~

The crisp sound of gold was so pleasant to Chen Mo's ears, standing on the gate, looking at the retreating soldiers of the Yuan army, and said to the archers on the side: "Ring arrows!" ”

"Huh~" A ringing arrow broke through the air, and the arrow was specially treated, and when it rose into the air, it brought a sharp whistling sound.

Yang Hong, who was directing the withdrawal of the army, heard a sudden burst in his heart for no reason, and hurriedly stood on the wheel and looked in the direction of Chen Mo's camp.

Chen Mo's gate was still closed, and there was no intention of opening it, but soon, a cavalry had bypassed the rear of the camp and went straight to this side.

But Chen Mo had already ordered Hua Xiong to lead three thousand cavalry out of the camp, just waiting for the arrow to come out, then waved his army to follow and attack the enemy formation, Hua Xiong just waited outside for a day and did not see the signal, if it were not for some confidence in Chen Mo's ability, I am afraid that he would have been unable to bear it, and at this moment, he killed it, but he took out all the strength he had held back for a day, and he rushed to the reinforcements of those soldiers who were retreating.

Yuan Shu was also taken aback by this change, although he knew that it was not rational to stop and fight back at this time, but the opposing cavalry killed, if he did not fight back, it would be the life of being slaughtered, so he hurriedly ordered the flag officer to change the order and ordered the officers and men of the three armies to form a formation on the spot.

It's just that these soldiers have been busy for a day, and they originally came to fight, but after clearing the road for a day, their morale has long been gone, and they are exhausted.

……

Hua Xiong looked at the enemy formation that was getting closer and closer, his breathing became heavy, his eyes flashed with excitement and bloodthirsty light, the big sword in his hand was raised high, and he rode his horse wildly, and the three thousand Xiliang iron horsemen followed him like a shadow, following him closely, the huge cavalry array was like a dark wave from hell, surging towards these Yuan soldiers who had no morale with the power of crushing everything.

Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be only the sound of thousands of iron hooves hitting the ground, and the whole world seemed to tremble.

Yuan Jun's already somewhat chaotic formation began to stir in the face of such an imposing Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the soldiers standing in the front row looked around in fear, some people had already begun to retreat, and many generals kept scolding and trying to control the situation, but in the face of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that was getting closer and closer, there were fewer and fewer soldiers who could stick to their positions.

"Kill!" Hua Xiong took the lead, and the scattered spears could not exert the power of the spear array at all, and he easily split it with one sword, and the soldiers in front of him were directly knocked away by the war horse.

"Boom~"

The huge cavalry formation crashed into the broken formation of the reinforcements, like the collapse of the heavenly river, splashing countless blood flowers in an instant, and the reinforcements who had no fighting spirit fled in a hurry, even if the reinforcement generals killed the deserters one after another, they could not stop the trend of the collapse of the military formation.

For a while, the sky fell apart, and countless reinforcements turned around to join the fleeing army, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry became more and more brave the more they fought, like a tiger out of a stream.

Yang Hong in the rear closed his eyes in despair, commanded the army to scatter to the two wings, the rout army had begun to impact the formation of the Chinese army, and the defeat was like a mountain, and now he could only hope to reduce some losses as much as possible......
