Chapter 4: Defense (1)

Yuan Yun listened to the scout's report, his eyes were constantly flickering, and the situation of Endless really predicted for him, Karasuma's cavalry did not take any action, and still had no intention of entering Endless Ending, and it was still a barren place.

Yuan Yun buckled his chin, and then glanced at Guo Jia beside him, the other party was very leisurely, still playing chess pieces with Xu You, it seemed that the game on the chessboard attracted the attention of the two even more.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun sat directly on Guo Jia's side, and then glanced at the situation on the chessboard, the two in front of him were really gentlemanly, every time they fell into the army, in addition to thinking about destroying the other party, they would also leave some living mouths, and they had no intention of killing them all at all.

Finally, after a few incense sticks, Xu You abandoned his son and admitted defeat, and Guo Jia turned his head to Yuan Yun and said, "Yuan Hou is worried about the endless situation? ”

Yuan Yun immediately replied: "Of course I'm worried, now Karasuma's cavalry is still haunted in the periphery, there is no fixed number at all, and we don't dare to enter Wuzhong County now, so we can only camp in the rear, but this is not a long-term solution." ”

Guo Jia put away all the chess pieces in his hand, and then continued: "Yuan Hou has ever thought about why this group of Karasuma cavalry didn't enter the endless end, after all, now that Cao Ren has withdrawn, they can take it without spending a single soldier, but they don't make any moves, isn't it strange?" ”

Yuan Yun pondered for a moment, and suddenly arched his hand at Guo Jiayi, and said: "More Guo Jia's military division, it seems that these Karasuma barbarians are waiting, waiting for us to enter first, and then they will attack, after all, all the fortifications that are endless now have been destroyed, and after we are stationed, it is equivalent to having no defense, and it is naturally very convenient for their cavalry to rush and kill like the wind." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "That's right, and the equipment of these soldiers under Yuan Hou is too eye-catching, almost everyone is armor made of stainless steel, these days continue to find scouts with Karasuma, they see such sophisticated equipment of the gunpowder army, they must be very tempted, because the outside of the plug is very lacking in copper and iron, so they want to annihilate us all in one fell swoop, and then use these sophisticated equipment to melt and recast the sword soldiers, and arm more Karasuma knights."

If I were a dumbfounder, I would inevitably be jealous of Yuan Hou's equipment, plus there were no more than 10,000 of us, and the number of Karasuma warriors gathered in the periphery of Endless Ending was nearly 120,000, although many of them were Han people's husbands, but these people have now been completely enslaved by Karasuma, and they have been driven forward to fight, and they are also quite combative.

Comparing the two in this way, Bunton must have been completely sure that he will take us down, and now as long as we are stationed in the end, we are guaranteed that those Karasuma cavalry will arrive immediately, and we will definitely not be given any time to repair and breathe. ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth smiled slightly, if this was the case, then it would not be much different from what he had expected before, and at first he still imagined that the Karasuma people had been stationed in the endless, and the gunpowder army only needed to attack head-on, and now since the other party waited for him to go first, it would be better, even if those fortifications had been destroyed, but the people who were stationed first would be able to occupy the favorable terrain earlier, which would be more reassuring.

Xu You had been listening to Yuan Yun and Guo Jia talking, and after seeing Yuan Yun's face full of excitement at this time, he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Dashuai, is the old man going to help you call General Zhang Liao now?" ”

Yuan Yun returned the salute, and then said with a smile: "Then there is Mr. Lao Ziyuan." ”

Guo Jia saw Xu You walk out of the cabin, then looked at Yuan Yun and continued: "Although Cao Ren had to withdraw from Wuzhi, he was a veteran after all, so he walked very simply and thoroughly, and he didn't leave anything that could be taken away, and he would never let go of what could be destroyed, so Wuxuan is now equal to nothing, Karasuma These nomads are people who are used to robbing, and they will definitely not do anything beneficial, so as soon as our gunpowder army is stationed, these Karasuma knights are estimated to be red-eyed, and Yuan Hou has a corresponding plan?" ”

Yuan Yun didn't answer Guo Jia directly, but reintegrated the topographic map sent back by the scouts in the past few days, and finally smiled: "The camp that Cao Ren established at the beginning is good, it is at the only commanding height, there is not only a water source, but there are also large swamps on the left and right sides, which are the most unsuitable for cavalry movement, and it is indeed a very ideal camp." ”

Guo Jia snorted, and then said: "Cao Ren returned to Yecheng with the remnants this time, deliberately bypassing our course of action, it seems that he is still very wary of Yuan Hou, so we should still send some scouts to keep an eye on him, now Cao Ren is completely dead, no one knows if he will do something radical." ”

"Don't worry, we have already sent a team of scouts to keep an eye on them, as long as Cao Ren's subordinates make the slightest move, we will definitely be able to wipe them all out halfway." Zhang Liao had already walked into the cabin when he spoke, and then walked to Xu You's position before, and then arched his hand at Yuan Yun.

After sitting down slightly, Xiao Liu immediately lowered a pot of tea, and used a pot instead of a bowl and cup, mainly because although it was safe on this giant tank, it was also very bumpy, so the tea could only be drunk in a military kettle.

Zhang Liao enjoyed a sip of tea, and then continued: "If we plan to enter Wuzhong County now, we must first seize Cao Ren's previous camp, and as for the rest of the place, we will leave it alone and throw it to the Karasuma people."

The swamps on both sides of Cao Ren's previous camp were enough to keep our flanks safe, so as Yuan Hou said, we only need to spread the steel wire fence for defense in front and rear, and then wait for Karasuma's cavalry to appear, and this time we will definitely make the other party suffer a big loss. ”

Guo Jia was very satisfied with Zhang Liao's idea, and after glancing at Yuan Yun, who was doing nothing on the side, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Yuan Hou, if the Karasuma people are really smart and don't take the offensive, but just surround us, won't we be under siege?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Guo Jiajun is considering me Yuan Yun, but is your question a little simple, now Cao Sikong has come over with the main force, and Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who are hiding in Karasuma, must also have a lot of eyeliner in Yecheng, so this news must have been known to Badun, and what he is thinking about now should be how to destroy us before Cao Sikong comes, so that he can not only grab our equipment, but also give Cao Sikong's main force a dismount, it is simply a multiplicity, how can there be an idea of just besieging and not attacking?" ”

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Now I can be relieved that Yuan Hou will be the commander of this gunpowder army, if you go directly and take the initiative, you will be underestimated by me." ”

Yuan Yun pursed his lips, then pointed to Zhang Liao, who was still drinking tea, and said, "Even if Guo Jiajun doesn't trust me, at least he should believe General Zhang, what are you worried about with him?" ”

The sun had just risen on the second day, and the camp of the Powder Corps, which was surrounded by five tanks, had already been packed, and by the time the day was completely bright, the whole team had already traveled five miles, and so quickly set up camp, and then moved quickly, which immediately made some of Karasuma's scouts panic, and they immediately began to return to report.

By the afternoon, the Gunpowder Army had completely occupied the camp established by Cao Ren before, and under the strong labor of the camp, it not only laid a dozen layers of wire defense nets, but also dug a trench six or seven steps wide at the place of the nearest camp.

The equipment of the baggage battalion was also quickly pushed out, and the weapons of artillery, steel crossbow positions, fire dragon carts, and other weapons of mass destruction were all ready to be continued.

As for the five bulky tanks, after unloading a baggage, Yuan Yun did not arrange for them to be stationed in the camp, but began to let them patrol the road where they came, as for whether they would be attacked by Karasuma's cavalry, no one would worry at all, if such a thing really happened, then I believe that the gunpowder soldiers on the tanks would definitely be happy to crook their mouths, because Luoyang's military merit is to see how many people you kill, and never care what you killed.

In the evening, everything in the camp was ready, Zhang Liao repeatedly inspected the camp several times, and was full of confidence in the upcoming battle, no matter how terrifying the opponent's combat strength was, tonight's camp would be the nightmare of the other party.

Dianman's face was also flushed now, his whole body was now very excited, it had been a long time since he had fought side by side with the soldiers of the Powder Army, so at this moment he was dressed in black armor, standing behind the outermost trench of the camp like a god of war, his eyes staring at the gradually dimming horizon without blinking, but the hilt of the sword in his hand was pinched by him.

"The scouts sent out can be dispersed, and as soon as night falls, Karasuma's cavalry is estimated to arrive soon, and the scout's warning is no longer necessary." After Yuan Yun explained, he began to pull his breastplate very uncomfortably, and even now he still doesn't like to be fully armored in the sultry summer evening.

Zhang Liao glanced at the horizon in the distance, nodded and said, "The mines are all buried around, and it is enough to have these things to warn, and the scouts have already ordered them to disperse five miles away." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao glanced at Yuan Yun, and then said with a smile: "Dashuai, let's go back to the barracks to rest, you haven't eaten much for dinner, it's better to go and add dinner now." ”

Yuan Yun smiled awkwardly and sorted out his face a little, although he knew that it would be difficult to enter the sky if he wanted to break through the camp of the Gunpowder Army, but at this moment he was surrounded by the enemy, he was still a little scared and worried, and he didn't want his cowardice to be seen by Zhang Liao, and he was unlucky.

Arching his hand slightly, Yuan Yuncai smiled and said, "I'll go and prepare some hooves, and wait until General Zhang has repelled the enemy to ensure that there is a delicious meal." ”

Zhang Liao was overjoyed, and laughed: "This is very good, this battle will inevitably be fought until dawn, after all, the number of enemies is very large, even if they raise their necks to kill us, we will have to kill for a long time." ”

After Zhang Liao explained this, he said goodbye to Yuan Yun, and then strode to the front camp position, which was the artillery position, once the local cavalry was found, the first to attack was there.

Just a few steps after Zhang Liao walked out, Yuan Yun glanced at the sky that had completely darkened, and suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and then jumped violently.

I saw that in the dark night, some fires suddenly appeared, just looking at these fires being stretched into a long straight line, it was a bit of an infinite illusion, and you could guess how exaggerated the number of people on the other side was.

In a few moments, the straight line poured out like a waterfall, quickly filling the distant land, followed by a slight tremor of the floor, and then the rumbling of horses' hooves.

In less than a few incense sticks at the Gunpowder Army camp, it was surrounded by tens of thousands of Karasuma's men and horses.
