You must know that before Yang Ren and Yang Bai sent out their troops, they both swore to Zhang Lu that they would definitely present Jin Jue's head to the king within ten days.

And the reason why Zhang Lu chose these two people to lead the army was also because of the contradictions between the two, and he didn't want either of them to be in charge of the army alone.

But now?

Looking at this situation, let alone ten days, even if it is a month, they don't want to see the shadow of Luoyang City, let alone the head of Jin Jue, a fake celestial master.

Yang Ren, whose lips were already chapped and oozing blood, immediately asked: "The road has been dug up, then send someone to fill it in, and if there is debris in the way, then clean it up as soon as possible." Do I still need to teach them how to do things? ”

"General, Captain Li in front has already done this, but the enemy is too cunning, they don't know where to go, from time to time they will release cold arrows, and the soldiers who went to clear the road have died a lot for unknown reasons. The soldiers cowered, so Lieutenant Li personally took the lead in repairing the road, but as a result, he was still hit by the enemy's hidden arrow.

Although there was no fear of his life for the time being, the enemy's arrows seemed to be poisonous, and Lieutenant Li was now unable to command the forward troops. The herald replied aggrievedly.

The forward army sent by Yang Ren to open the way to the front has really done its best, don't forget, there are mostly mountain roads here, because the roads are narrow in the places that have been dug up, even in the widest places, only five or six people can go up at a time to dig and fill the pits, and in narrow places, only two or three people, or even one or two. Moreover, the places that are dug up are basically low-lying places, and once they are attacked by the enemy, they cannot hide at all.

What's even more hateful is that these people who shoot dark arrows don't know whether the archery is too poor or deliberate, and they shoot specifically at the arm, arm, or right chest, and very few soldiers are actually killed on the spot.

One or two were like this, and it was enough, and dozens of people were wounded by arrows and wailed there, which greatly affected the morale of the army. Li Duwei, the commander of the vanguard army, really can't kill them all! In a fit of rage, he personally carried a shield against the front and cleared the way.

One hand has to hold the shield, the other hand has to work, a person's attention will inevitably be unable to concentrate, a little careless, revealing a gap, unexpectedly, immediately by the enemy archers seized the opportunity to shoot and wound Li Duwei.

Although he was only hit by an arrow in the shoulder, until now, the unlucky Li Duwei felt that his whole body was weak and he couldn't get up.

"Forget it, General Yang! The vanguard army has done its best, the key is that the road to Luoyang County is too narrow, and our large number of people will not be of any use, but the enemy, they only need to send a small number of archers, and the dredging work of the vanguard army can be stopped. For the sake of today, in my opinion, let the soldiers work in the dark! Yang Bai explained.

The method that Yang Bai came up with sounds ridiculous, but it is also a helpless move.

However, this idea is also a good idea.

At night, neither side could see each other's specific situation. The soldiers of Zhang Lujun only needed to let the tall soldiers block in front with large shields, and the others took this opportunity to fill the trench with soil and clean up the gravel and messy wood blocking the road. The soldiers were able to accomplish this by moonlight or starlight.

On the contrary, it is much more difficult for the enemy to shoot the soldiers who are working by the light of the moon. If they dared to light torches for lighting, Zhang Lujun's bow and crossbow were not vegetarian.

The bow and crossbow army is Zhang Lujun's specialty, and at present, it is only the advantage of Jin Jue's army, so that Zhang Lujun has no way to play.

"Well, then let's go on with it! Let the strikers rest immediately and get back to work at night! Yang Ren thought about it, and it could only be like this.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

The soldiers of Jin Jue's army who were ambushing in front learned the news at night and immediately transmitted the information to the city of Luoyang.

At this time, Li Feng had already led the mountain people and aliens recruited by Jin Jue with the land to take a small road to go around Zhang Lu and ambush him, ready to cut off the retreat of the 20,000 soldiers at any time.

Liu Gang was responsible for slowing down the enemy's advance at the front. Nowadays, only Liu Xiongming and Cheng Lian are in Luoyang City.

"Childe, Zhang Lujun did this. I'm afraid Liu Gang won't last long! Liu Xiongming asked worriedly.

"Stupid!" Jin Jue pursed his lips, muttered and scolded, and immediately shouted: "Someone! ”

The herald knelt down on one knee in front of him, bowed his head and replied, "Childe, please!" ”

"Humph!" Jin Jue snorted angrily and ordered: "Immediately ask Liu Gang, if he has any way to come up with a countermeasure, if not, then you can tell him." If the enemy can clear the way at night, can't you also dig up the next road at night? If there are more of them, will we have fewer people? Well, that's all, you can go quickly!"

The purpose now is to delay Zhang Lu's arrival in Luoyang County, not to stop them. As time passed, the closer Zhang Lu's army got to Luoyang County, the closer they were to the destruction of the entire army.

If they stopped, they would fall into an unfavorable situation for Li Feng and them, and also delay the plan formulated by Jin Jue.

To be honest, through this incident, Jin Jue was also a little disappointed in this Liu Gang, and asked himself about such a trivial matter, it can be seen that his brain is still not flexible enough, and he has been by the side of that Captain Cao Han for a long time, and has become a general who can only carry out orders.

Such a person lacks aura and is difficult to take on great responsibilities.

"No!" As soon as Jin Jue's words fell, the herald answered excitedly, then turned around and left quickly.

"Childe, don't be so troublesome! Zhang Lu also sent 20,000 people this time, and the last general is willing to guarantee with his head, you only need to let the last general lead 10,000 to defeat him. "When I first started arranging, there were still things to do for Cheng Lian, but this time the war started, Cheng Lian was left alone in the city, and he could only watch by himself, and he couldn't do anything.

"Shhhh General Cheng, then tell me, you led 10,000 people to defeat the 20,000 people of Zhang Lu's army, and after that, how many living soldiers can be left of the 10,000 people under your command? How many soldiers can Zhang Lujun capture? When Jin Jue heard this, he sneered and asked rhetorically one after another.

"This ......" As soon as he heard this question, Cheng Lian immediately stopped talking.

No matter how brave he is, 10,000 to 20,000, especially in this mountainous area, is the first time he has to fight to die, so according to his own estimates, at least half of the casualties will be killed and wounded in this battle. As for the captives, it's even harder to say.

"Don't have anything to say!" Jin Jue continued to ask with a calm expression: "Then I'll tell you." Liu Gang only needs to do what I say, the 10,000 people and 300 crossbowmen in his hands now, as well as Li Feng's 1,000 people, the total casualties do not add up to 100 people, and the whole army of Zhang Lu can be annihilated, or even the whole army surrender, do you think this is impossible? ”

Cheng Lian carefully pondered all the arrangements and instructions of Jin Jue before and just now, and such a result was really likely to be realized. The only downside is that it takes a lot of time.

When attacking a place with dangerous terrain, the most fearful thing is that someone will cut off one's food route in turn, or even a way to retreat. In particular, the road back to Hanzhong is also very complicated and difficult.

As a result, the battle between Zhang Lujun and Jin Juejun was so strangely stalemate in the middle of the road, one side was desperately clearing the road at night, and the other side was desperately digging up the road. Later, because of the urgency of time, the people of the Jin Jue army really didn't have time to find gravel and trees to block the road, so they could only use tools to desperately dig up the stone mountain road.

Fortunately, there are many talents in the Yellow Turban Army, and there is a small iron mine in Luoyang County that has been excavated, and Jin Jue's army can continue to provide the front with an engineering shovel designed by Jin Jue himself.

Time is pressing, and the shovel head is not hard enough, and it is easy to be broken or worn out by the mountain road, but this is also much stronger than Zhang Lujun can only use the weapons in his hand to dig earth and rock to fill the pit.

What's more, many of the people sent to the front by Jin Jue are miners themselves, and they are suitable for this kind of work.
