The enemy army obviously has the advantage of troops, but if it does not attack immediately, there must be other intentions!

"General!" The scout in charge of patrolling the banks of the Dongxia River rushed to report, "On the river, there are large branches of trees. ”

"Twigs?"

The scout was very careful, and specially picked up a few branches from the river and handed them to Chang Yuchun.

The branches were the thickness of thumbs, the leaves on them were fresh, and the severed heads were very neat, apparently cut off with a sharp weapon and thrown into the river.

I often meet spring on the lookout platform, looking at the Dongxia River. Sure enough, on the surface of the river, there were pieces of broken branches floating in them. The area of floating branches, which is several acres in size.

They didn't send anyone to cut down the trees.

Two days ago, scouts reported that in the northeast direction, small groups of Yuzhou army activities were discovered. To the northeast, it is the upper reaches of the Dongxia River. These branches must have been cut down by the Yuzhou army.

What is the Yuzhou army going to do with such a large-scale cutting down of trees?

Chopping timber and making siege equipment?

Wrong!

There are many hills and trees in this area, and there is no need to run to the upper reaches of the difficult river.

Besides, even if you want to cut wood, you don't have to throw the branches into the river!

In the upper reaches of the Dongxia River, there is a steady stream of tree branches floating in.

The branches of the tree are stiff and warped, slowly tangled together, the area is getting larger and larger, and the drifting is slower and slower. It gradually tangled with the trees and reeds on the shore, and blocked the entire surface of the river.

What is the enemy going to do?

Chang Yuchun can't guess the enemy's intentions, and he doesn't have time to guess. Another wave of enemy attacks, here begins!

This time, the enemy's offensive strength was six or seven thousand!

Mainly sword and shield soldiers. Behind each row of sword and shield soldiers, there are either crossbowmen or spearmen.

The array is neat, step by step.

The Luoyang army's bow and crossbow fired a volley, and the Yuzhou sword and shield soldiers immediately raised their big shields to protect themselves and the crossbowmen behind them.

The Luoyang army stopped firing, and the Yuzhou sword and shield soldiers withdrew the big shield, and the crossbowmen opened their bows and fired a volley, suppressing the Luoyang army in the camp with arrows.

Although the action of the Yuzhou military formation is not fast, it is a battalion step by step, pressing step by step, like a giant wheel and a cart, crushing towards the Luoyang military camp!

"Kill!"

Flag dance, cheer!

Although separated by the fence of the camp, the fierceness of the battle is no less than that of hand-to-hand combat!

Chang Yuchun carried a horse lance, with more than a dozen brave relatives, running back and forth around the camp to support at any time.

The horse lance rushed, poked over an enemy colonel through the fence, and often encountered spring and became more and more courageous!

However, the enemy's offensive this time is far better than before!

One group of enemies is defeated, and another group of enemy troops takes over and rushes forward!

In the distance, there are several enemy arrays, ready to go. And in the east and north directions, the enemy Li Tianyan and Li Zhubu have not yet participated in the attack!

The enemy is bound to win this battle, and it will definitely not be able to support it with the strength of the headquarters alone!

Chang Yuchun roared: "Light the wolf smoke!" ”

Wolf smoke is lit!

Like black smoke, rising into the sky. This is a signal to ask for reinforcements from the negative gatherings!

"Brothers, we will definitely be able to hold the camp!"

"Hold the camp!"

"Repel the enemy!"

The earth-shattering shout boosted morale, and the Luoyang army became more and more brave the more they fought.

"General, the wolf smoke is up!" Negative millet agglomeration sends a signal in response.

"Good! Reinforcements have already arrived! "Chang Yuchun is in high spirits.

The camp in the distance, under the powerful offensive of the Yuzhou army, has been opened a gap. An enemy general is about to leap into the camp!

Chang Yuchun didn't have time to rush to the rescue, stretched out his hand to pick up the longbow, raised his hand is an arrow, and the long arrow hit the eyebrows of the enemy's fierce general!

"Brothers, the lord has sent reinforcements, and he will cross the river soon to help!"

The news of the imminent arrival of reinforcements once again boosted the morale of the troops. The Luoyang army repelled another wave of attacks from the Yuzhou army!

Chang Yuchun stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, and was about to drink saliva when he suddenly heard the sentry on the lookout shouting. "General, look! There is smoke! ”

Chang Yuchun turned his head to look at it, only to see billowing smoke rising in the northeast sky!

"General, it must be reinforcements from our army!"

I am often happy in the spring, but then I am sinking!

That's not right!

To the northeast, there is no garrison of your own. Reinforcements, whether they were gathered or on the cold mountain, could only come from the east and west banks of the river.

Moreover, even if friendly forces come to help, there is no need to light fireworks and reveal their whereabouts.

What's the situation?!

"General! There is a fire on the river! ”

"What?"

Chang Yuchun hurriedly rushed to the lookout.

Sure enough, in the distance, in the upper reaches of the Dongxia River, there was a faint fire shining in the thick smoke!

Fire?

Where did the fire come from on the river?!

However, on the surface of the river, the smoke and fire are becoming clearer and clearer!

Chang Yuchun finally saw clearly that on the surface of the river, countless simple rafts, tied with ignited long grass, were flowing downstream! The fire on the raft is getting stronger and stronger, and the smoke is getting darker and darker. The air is filled with the smell of burnt grease!

The long grass on the raft is mixed with a lot of animal fat. It falls in the water, but it is not extinguished. It gets on the branches of the trees that block the river, and ignites the damp branches, and a lot of smoke rises!

Our military camp, although close to the river bank, is still some way away. Although the fire on the river is fierce, it will not affect the safety of the camp.

What is the enemy going to do?

Chang Yuchun unconsciously leaned out of the lookout.

On the surface of the river, lit rafts float on the surface of the river in the right direction, and large areas of branches that have blocked the river are close to the ......

"Ahh Not good! ”

Chang Yuchun suddenly became clear about the enemy's intentions!

The branches in front of you, which block the river, will also block the raft.

The rafts piled up in the river will form a wall of fire and block the communication between the east and west banks of our army!

Even if the reinforcements arrived, they would not be able to cross the river for a while!

And the camp on the east bank of the Dongxia River will become a lonely camp without help!

No way! The camp must be abandoned immediately!

But it's too late!

The two enemy forces of Li Zhu and Li Tianyan, who were watching all along, have already moved!

Three enemy troops, from the north, east and south, rushed straight over!

And the only west side where there are no enemy troops is the burning Dongxia River!

This is exactly Li Zhu's trick!

Block the river with tree branches, lower the lit raft downstream, block the road of negative millet reinforcements with a wall of fire, and cut off the road to retreat west in the spring!

Will often meet the spring department, trapped on the east bank of the Dongxia River, and use the advantage of troops to annihilate them in one fell swoop!

Hou Junji continued to send troops to try to attack the Luoyang military camp, just to delay Chang Yuchunbu.

However, Li Zhu and Li Tianyan's delay in participating in the attack was because they were worried that they would cross the river and retreat westward. Wait until the raft floats down upstream, the fire wall on the river is formed, and the retreat of the spring is often cut off, before launching an attack!

Enemy troops on three sides, swarming up.

Often encounter the spring part, danger!

In the east and west of the river, Lin Chong stayed behind to gather the negative millet, and Liu Mang led the high favor Luda to help.

On the river to the east, the grease of artemisia grass and the damp branches that ignited it emitted choking smoke.

In the midst of the raging fire, the Dongxia River seemed to be boiling.

And the smoke and the fire, like a big curtain, stretched between the east and west shores!

Rescue, no way! (To be continued.) )
