Chapter 11

Muma Slope.

The sun was setting in the west, Pei Yuanshao panted and rushed to join Gong Du and Zhang Yan, behind Pei Yuanshao, fifty sergeants each carried a large cloth bag, which was heavy inside, but it was filled with quicklime.

Zhang Yanjing is topless. Revealing a bulging body of Jianzi meat, he threw a large bundle of hay into the artemisia grass on the side of the road, and muttered to Gong Du with some displeasure: "Leader, the brothers have been busy for a long time, and we have been mowing grass here, and we don't feed the pigs." Do you cut so much grass to dry? Do you still want to fight or kill officers and soldiers? ”

Gong Du's eyes flashed a trace of awe, although a thousand Liukou have been born and died several times, but they have not experienced a real big battle, so the cruelty of war and the tolerance of death are limited, at this time, we must try to avoid fighting hard with the officials and soldiers, so Gong Du must find ways to use strange tricks to deal with the officials and soldiers.

Only by experiencing more victories can the confidence of the rogues be cultivated and a psychological advantage over the officers and soldiers can be established in their hearts. At that time, a thousand Liukou will be a trustworthy army, and they will have the strength to fight head-on with the official army. However, by no means now.

Ma Yue snorted coldly and asked, "Lao Zhang, do you think that mowing grass has nothing to do with fighting?" ”

"Uh, this ......" Zhang Yan scratched her head and asked puzzledly, "Does it matter?" ”

"Of course." Gong Du snorted coldly, and decided to give Zhang Yan and Pei Yuanshao, the two reckless men, a tactical lesson, pointing to the gentle slope in front of him and saying, "Muma Slope is the only way to the vestibule in the backyard of Shexian County, if the official army attacks." Will definitely pass through here. ”

Zhang Yan and Pei Yuanshao nodded at the same time, this is easy to understand.

Gong Du's face flashed a trace of hideousness, and he said in a deep voice: "The terrain here is gentle, artemisia grass is thick, and there are gentle slopes on three sides. Only to the south is a swamp. It is now the autumn equinox, the sky is dry, the grass and trees are withered, and it is very easy to burn, if our army sets fire from the east, west, and north at the same time, and the fire spreads from all sides to the middle, the officers and soldiers will have to retreat to the south. ”

Zhang Yan and Pei Yuanshao nodded as if they didn't understand.

Looking back at the fifty cloth bags neatly stacked, the cruel murderous intent flashed across his face. Leng Ran said: "As long as the officers and soldiers retreat into the swamp, they will fall into death, and the gods will not be able to save them." ”

"Uh......"

Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao shivered at the same time, and Ma Yue's eyes at this time made them feel cold behind their backs.

Ma Yue snorted and said in a deep voice: "Old Guan, old Pei, according to my original instructions, hurry up and prepare!" ”

"Yes, Big Boss." Wai Bird Ditch Cai.

The two said yes and walked away.

...

"Lord, is this really good?" Tydamir had a large fishing net in his hand, and the brothers behind him also had a large fishing net in his hands, which was three meters long and had a stone tied around it.

"The enemy is fish and meat, we are swords, why not? Damn, this ticket is done, I'm a hero! I rubbed my hands together and felt very excited.

"Big turnip, I'...... I'm scared. Riven sat on a horse, looking helpless. I don't want to stay here. ”

"What's so scary about that? Watch your husband show his might, invincible. In the future, you will be my wife of the village and enjoy all the glory and wealth! I smiled wickedly.

"I don't want to be your lady of the village...... Ruiwen pouted, but she didn't have a little disgust with my ridicule in her heart, of course, this kind of little girl's psychology, I naturally can't guess, but I'm not the kind of person who is extremely vicious, if you want me to overlord to make a bow, it depends on the situation, for Ruiwen's situation, I won't kill it.

"My lord, the officers and soldiers below have arrived! Ahead is the forecourt of the county, if this group of yellow turban thieves has a little brain, they should be able to know that the officials and soldiers will come to settle accounts with them, but looking at the flag hanging high on the wall, it is estimated that they have not left. Zhao Xin squinted his eyes, "It's still a thousand liukou, this yellow turban thief." ”

"Can you think of a plan to block the official army is still called a yellow turban thief? If they have a plan, I will gouge out my own brain and use it as a urinal for the giver. Tedamir scoffed.

Li Yan led 800 people behind him, riding horses, the front row is the sword and shield bearers, the middle is the pikemen, and the back row of 200 people are archers.

There is a canyon around, and it is estimated that Li Yan would not have imagined that he would "have someone above" when he was killed.

"Shhhh I put my finger in my mouth, Tydamir had never seen this gesture, but he had learned it too, and he made the same gesture to the people lurking behind him, "You guys, be quiet! ”

"Yes, General."

......

"Hurry, hurry, keep up behind, don't fall behind."

"The front army continues to advance at a rapid pace, and do not stop."

Li Yan rode on his horse and kept urging his soldiers to speed up the march.

Zhang Qiu, the head of the guard, wiped the sweat on his cheeks with his sleeve, looked at Li Yan's majestic mount with envy, and said bitterly: "Lord Li, take a moment of rest, the villain is really weak, whew, he really can't walk." ”

"No, I can't exhaust it!" Li Yan flatly refused, "The vestibule rogues may escape at any time, and we must arrive before the rogues escape and destroy one of them." ”

Zhang Qiu said with a bitter face: "Lord Li, it seems that such a hurried march, even if you can rush to arrive before the rogues escape, the military masters are afraid that they will not have the strength to fight, so it will be disadvantageous." It's better to rest for the time being, and then slowly move forward when you have enough energy. ”

Li Yan glanced at Zhang Qiu disdainfully, and said, "Murano Puppet, dare to talk about military affairs?" Don't you smell the momentum of one blow, and then decline, and then exhaust it? The officers and men of the whole army listened to the order, and they must not be slack, and they went to the front court in one go. ”

Zhang Qiu's small eyes flashed with a hint of anger, so he had to drag his tired legs and continue to hurry.

Less than three miles further on, the whole army drove into a gentle slope overgrown with artemisia grass, and next to it was a gorge that was competitive, but not steep. Li Yan frowned and was about to stop the march, when the corner of his eye suddenly swept to see a swampy wetland in the south, coupled with the gentle slope of this gentle terrain, even if there was an emergency on the canyon around him, it was enough for the soldiers to react, and the vision ahead was wide, which was not conducive to burying ambushes, so he was relieved, and asked Zhang Qiu with a relaxed expression: "Guard Zhang, where is this?" ”

Zhang Qiu said: "Back to my lord, this place is called Mumapo, and one mile further is the vestibule." ”

Zhang Qiu's small eyes flashed with a hint of anger, so he had to drag his tired legs and continue to hurry.

Li Yan's expression perked up, and he waved his horsewhip and said loudly: "The three armies listen to the order, and the five miles ahead is Zhangzhuang, speed up the march!" ”

……

On the top of the hill not far to the north, Gong Du waved his hand lightly, and as soon as the hands of the two rogues behind him loosened, a lone pine that could be held by it fell down with a bang, and a small leader with strong arms opened his bow and arrows, and in a creaking sound, the strong bow had been drawn into a full moon shape.

Seeing the lone pine on the top of the hill on the north side falling, Zhang Yan on the east side and Pei Yuanshao on the west side pulled their bows and arrows at the same time.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

Li Yan's voice fell, only to hear three terrible sounds of breaking the air, three rockets from the east, west, and north at the same time, Li Yan and the eight hundred officers and soldiers watched the three rockets in the air cut a curved arc, and fell headlong into the yellow barren grass, before they came to their senses, the three fires had already burned.

I glanced back at Tedamir, who stared at a pair of eyes full of incredulity, and muttered, "This... Is the Yellow Turban really a plan? Then, seeing that I was looking at him, Tedamir smiled awkwardly, and then whistled with his face to the sky.

I saw this bow and arrow coming, looked at it fixedly, and then smiled: "Damn, scare Lao Tzu, I thought the ambush of the Yellow Turban Army was near us, it turned out that they were lying on the slope of the herding horse, hehe, if they can see it in my place, then I am really convinced!" ”

"Lord, now that it's messy, do you want me to take someone down and stab them?" Zhao Xin crouched beside me, his spear in front of him, eager to try.

"There's no hurry. Let's move on. ”

Li Yan was the first to react, his face changed greatly, and he shouted sharply: "The whole army will speed up and pass through the Muma Slope immediately!" ”

However, it's too late! More rockets were fired in the air, constantly accumulating around the officers and soldiers, and the hay that had been carefully prepared by a thousand Liukou for a whole morning finally wielded its due power, and the fire spread rapidly, and the wind helped the fire, and soon burned into a piece, and pressed violently from the north, east, and west directions, trapping Li Yan and the eight hundred officers and soldiers in the middle, leaving only the swamp in the south without fire.

Li Yan was shocked, and before he could give the order, the panicked 800 officers and soldiers had already fled without waiting for his order.

"Porphyry ......"

The officers and soldiers jumped into the icy swamp like dumplings, and the thick mud immediately reached their knees, making it difficult for them to walk, and a few unlucky ones even sank quickly and disappeared into the mire in the blink of an eye, so that the officers and soldiers who did not fall into the water behind them were shocked to see their hearts, and they did not jump, nor did they not jump.

The raging fire soon spread, standing on the shore can no longer resist the scorching force, the desperate officers and soldiers closed their eyes, jumped into the swamp, stayed on the shore will be burned to death, jumping into the swamp may also die, but at least there is a great chance of survival.

Li Yan was also entrapped in the chaos and jumped into the swamp on horseback, but unlike the soldiers who were glad in his heart, he knew that since the thieves had designed such a vicious fire attack plan in Mumapo, they would never leave the officers and soldiers in the southern swamp a life, but he was afraid that there were more vicious means waiting for him.

"Haha, it's a shame that I didn't move, otherwise Xinye would have been planted here today!" Zhao Xin was overjoyed, the swamp below him was the swamp, he thought it was a quagmire, not deep, if it weren't for this group of officers and soldiers, he would have fallen into the swamp with people.
