Hearing the news of Hu Zhen's defeat, Chen Mo was not surprised, in that case, it would be a miracle to win, but it was a pity for those people.

The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, looking at the world, is the top, and it has lost three or four thousand people at once, and Chen Mo feels sorry for Dong Zhuo.

"Hu Zhen is defeated, Yuan Shu will arrive soon, and the remnants of the defeated army will be incorporated into Yang Ding's army, and prepare to defend against the enemy." Chen Mo thought about the next strategy in his heart, in fact, the defense of the city can't play any tricks, Yique Pass has enough troops, it is not easy for Yuan Shu to storm Yique Pass, but in this area there are Dagu Pass, Luhun Pass, Xuanyuan Pass and even farther revolving gate pass, these levels are not solid, if Yuan Shu can't attack for a long time, the detour starts from these four passes, even if it breaks through one pass, and then goes around to the rear to attack and disturb the grain road, it will be a little troublesome.

"How is the general going to fight?" Hua Xiong's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile, Chen Mo will always have some unexpected ways to break the enemy when he fights.

"Guarding the pass is actually those tricks, Yuan Shu has a lot of soldiers, our army occupies the Xiongguan, the advantages and disadvantages are comparable, as long as the guard is tight, Yuan Shu can't attack in, and we can't fight out, I'm now worried about Lu Hun, Dagu, Revolving Gate, Xuanyuan Four Passes, if Yuan Shu can't attack for a long time, it will be troublesome to send people to detour from these four passes to the rear of our army to attack and disturb the grain road."

Chen Mo thought about the possible threats and frowned.

"But if we divide the forces in our hands into four levels, we won't have many troops in our hands." Hua Xiong frowned and said, if Hu Zhen didn't stubbornly want to stay and lose so much that he was defeated, he could have transferred thousands of soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense of the four passes, but now that Hu Zhen has been defeated, he has lost thousands of men and horses, if there is no such consideration, then it is more than enough for them to hold Yique Pass now, but with this concern, the troops are a little stretched.

Chen Mo nodded and smiled: "It's okay, order the four levels to set up beacon towers, and also set up more beacon towers along the way, once a pass is attacked, immediately light the beacon fire, and order a thousand cavalry to guard the rear, once you find that the thief army is coming, immediately rush to help, you can be safe!" ”

Hua Xiong nodded and smiled when he heard this: "It's still a powerful general, and the last general will arrange it." ”

The trick of the beacon tower, Zang Hong used it when he was in Donglai, and the Donglai yellow scarf was almost extinct under this trick, and later Chen Mo also relied on this trick to force Guo Tai and Yu Fuluo to dodge in Hedong, which was a very practical move.

In order to be able to gallop to help in time, the soldiers and horses were naturally transferred from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Hua Xiong selected a general who was quite good at fighting to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to be transferred out of Yique Pass to prepare for help at any time.

In the evening, Yuan Shu's army arrived and sent a force to guard against Chen Mo's surprise attack, and also to check whether Chen Mo had laid so many traps in front of Yique Pass, and the brigade began to set up camp, and the military camp of 50,000 people almost blocked the entire road to the south of Yique Pass.

However, it was already dark, and Yuan Shu did not send troops to attack the city.

Late at night, Chen Mo was ready to rest after worshipping the system immortals as usual, but found that his luck began to blur.

Looking at his luck fluctuating, Chen Mo, who was already preparing to sleep, frowned and got up, thought about it, put on his clothes and came to Guancheng.

"See the general!" Yang Ding, who was on duty at night, was a little surprised when he saw Chen Mo coming up, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"General Yang doesn't have to be polite." Chen Mo stretched out his hand to help Yang Ding up, frowned and looked outside the gate, it was pitch black, and when he looked down at the city, he couldn't see anything.

A soldier suddenly threw a torch out of the city wall, and the flickering torch brought a moment of light to the dark world, but soon fell into darkness again.

This is a means for the guards to determine whether there is a sneak attack under the city, and every once in a while, someone throws out a torch in his hand after it is about to burn out, to determine whether there is a sneak attack.

It's just that the range that can only be seen in this way is not large, and the frequency is too low.

"The general went to the city late at night, but there is a strategy to break the enemy?" Yang Ding followed Chen Mo's side, and saw that Chen Mo had no purpose, just wandering around, and said with some expectation.

"Where are all those strategies to break the enemy?" Chen Mo was speechless, how could Yang Ding and Hua Xiong be the same, if there are really so many strategies to break the enemy in this world, what is the point of the number of troops?

Yang Ding thought about it, now they don't have many troops, and Yuan Shu is about to block the entire Yique Pass, there is really no way to break the enemy.

"Is there a bronze mirror in the city?" Chen Mo asked suddenly.

"Naturally." Yang Ding nodded.

"Send someone to fetch some noodles." Chen Mo thought for a moment.

Yang Ding didn't understand what he meant, but he still nodded and agreed, and soon, several bronze mirrors were sent to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo picked up a bronze mirror, placed it in front of the bronze mirror with a torch, and shone it down the city.

The faint light brought a little light to the darkness, but it was not too clear, Chen Mo thought about it, and used a rope to fix the bronze mirror together, which was concave, and then used a torch to illuminate it, and the light suddenly became much brighter.

"If there's any, get a few more." Chen Mo hung the bronze mirror, which could be rotated, and the torch was placed in front of it, which could illuminate many places, which was much simpler than throwing torches under the city, and the lighting range was also larger.

"The general is very capable!" Yang Ding's eyes lit up, with this method, even if the enemy attacked at night, he could quickly find out.

Chen Mo nodded, walked around the city again, and after pointing out a few omissions, he said goodbye to Yang Ding and returned to the city.

Back in his room, Chen Mo looked at the still vague luck and frowned slightly, which means that for a period of time in the future, even the system immortals don't know how their luck is, it has happened a few times before, but the threat is all around, and if it is solved, the luck will return to normal.

There are Dian Wei guards by his side, as well as a group of personal guards, and the soldiers of Guanzhong have basically returned to their hearts, I have seen Yang Ding's luck just now, and it has not fluctuated, that is to say, this threat is likely not to come from the battlefield?

No matter, sleep!

Looking at the sky, it was already late at night, Chen Mo simply stopped thinking about this, and fell asleep, although his luck was vague, but it was not a dead knot, but what the future would be like The immortals were not sure.

Do your own thing, even if there is a crisis, Chen Mo believes that he has the ability to solve it, why bother with gains and losses?

Although the warning of the system immortal attracted Chen Mo's attention, since the incident had not happened yet, Chen Mo would not be too worried, he would be in a mess, he would sleep when he should sleep, this was a habit he had developed over the years, and his work and rest would never be chaotic unless it was necessary.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Chen Mo appeared in the city as refreshed as before, looking at the Yuan Shu camp in the distance had begun to blow the trumpet, a big battle was coming, but Chen Mo did not have much worry.

"Is the top of the cliff arranged?" While inspecting the defense, he asked Yang Dingdao.

"The general can rest assured, it has been done." Yang nodded fixedly.

"General Yang hasn't slept all night, let's go and rest first, here are me and General Hua." Looking at Yang Ding's tired face, Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

"The last will be retired." Yang nodded fixedly, and after saluting Chen Mo, he turned around and retreated.

"General, it looks like the thief army is about to attack the city." Hua Xiong looked at the camp of the Yuan army in the distance and reminded him that he had begun to send troops one after another.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I was about to discuss the defense with the general." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silk silk and said: "Now in Yique Pass, the actual soldiers and horses are six thousand seven hundred and three, and even if this Yique Pass City is fully defended, it only needs four hundred and seven people to garrison, throwing away a thousand cavalry to gallop outside to help each pass, there are fifty people on each side of the cliff, we can now use the troops of Wu Qianlu Bai and three people, stationed in turns, and vigil, which can be divided into three shifts, that is, 1,221 people, if it is replaced once a day, one round every four days, it will take 4,884 people, and the remaining 719 people can make up for the losses, In this way, the soldiers can take turns to rest, and then adjust when the troops are insufficient, what does the general think? ”

Hua Xiong had already heard it dizzy, and until now, he was still silently calculating in his heart how many people were needed for four hundred and seven people in three shifts, and subconsciously nodded when he heard the words: "What the general said is good, and the last general also means this." ”

Chen Mo: "? ”

Looking at Hua Xiong's blank and empty look, Chen Mo was a little helpless, nodded and said: "Then let's go and arrange it, the number of soldiers and horses under you and me and General Yang Ding's soldiers and horses is different, and it still needs to be coordinated......

"General!" Hua Xiong hurriedly interrupted Chen Mo, took a deep breath and said: "All the generals are in charge, I and General Yang will not have a problem, even if the general dispatches people!" ”

"Okay, let all your generals come, you will come later, and I will explain to you in detail." Chen Mo nodded, and asked Dian Wei to follow Hua Xiong to lead the people, and he went to ask Bai Bi to recruit all the generals under his command for distribution.

"Don't forget it." Seeing Chen Mo leaving, Hua Xiong was still counting with his fingers, Dian Wei sneered and said, "Let me ask you, how many people are in Guanzhong now?" ”

"Five thousand ......" Hua Xiong was interrupted by Dian Wei like this, and he had a headache for a while, and looked at Dian Wei and said, "How many are five thousand?" ”

"That's it?" Dian Wei sneered and said: "Go and do something, the lord is still waiting, you just can't count a day." ”

"Joke, how do you know?" Hua Xiong frowned.

"I can't figure it out, I've already given up." Dian Wei said proudly.

Hua Xiong: "......"

Taking a deep breath, Hua Xiong said disdainfully: "I am a general, how can I be like a reckless man like you?" ”

"Then let me ask you, how many people are needed for a round of four days?" Dian Wei grinned.

Hua Xiong: "...... The general still has to gather all the generals, let's go. ”

Dian Wei laughed evilly, followed closely behind Hua Xiong and grinned, "Do you know how long it will take for my family master to calculate these things?" ”

"......" didn't want to pay attention to this fool, but Hua Xiong was also really curious, and couldn't help but say, "How long?" ”

"I don't know, anyway, when I saw the lord write these things, I didn't stop to calculate at all, you general is still far away."

Both of them are known for their bravery, and they often fight each other on weekdays, and the relationship is good, but Dian Wei always likes to squeeze people for some reason, which makes Hua Xiong want to beat him very much, and he is worried about pulling down his business, so he can only keep his mouth shut and go to gather people.
