Chapter 67: The Night Attack of the Allied Forces
87_87603 Chang Lin, the word Boru. A native of Van District, Hanoi County. In 190, because of the coalition army against Dong, because Chang Lin's uncle offended Wang Kuang's protégé, he was sent to prison. Later, Chang Lin found Wang Kuang's fellow villager Hu Mubiao, which made Chang Lin's uncle out of prison. After that, Chang Lin's family avoided chaos and went to the party, until they later defected to Cao Cao.
At first, when I heard Chang Lin Yemo, I just felt familiar, after all, there were too many abilities during the Three Kingdoms period, and Chang Lin was a civil official, so he was naturally not so famous. If it weren't for the fact that Chang Lin had a fellow cattle villager, Ye Mo would not have understood Chang Lin. Chang Lin's fellow villager is none other than Sima Yi, one of Sima Bada.
After confirming that Chang Lin was the Chang Lin in history, Ye Mo was thinking about how to make Chang Lin appear earlier than in history. If it was the original, Ye Mo would naturally not bother to think about it, but now, the Ye family has become the target of public criticism. It is better to secretly launch an official with the imprint of the Ye family than to cultivate a person from the Ye family.
Chang Lin didn't care when he heard Ye Mo call out his words, although the Chang family has declined, but he is still somewhat famous among his neighbors, and Chang Lin only knows his words when Ye Mo has passed by his hometown.
Several people were sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, and Ye Mo was asking about the garrison of Changlin Bishui Pass.
Listening to Chang Lin's return, Ye Mo also knew that there were 5,000 defenders in Bishui Pass, and they were often drilled, not elite, but they were also better than ordinary local garrisons.
As for the ordnance in the pass, because they are not used all year round, and because they are not well maintained, some of them have long since decayed. However, the arrows, stones, and rolling logs are quite complete, but there were a few bed crossbows in the original pass, and now they can no longer be used.
"By the way, there's a basement in the gate, and there are a lot of fierce fire oil in it." Just as Chang Lin was reporting to Ye Mo, a middle-aged commander on the side spoke.
"Huh?" Ye Mo was a little surprised, fierce fire oil, that is oil and crude oil, if there is such a thing, then the certainty of guarding the Bishui Pass will be greater. "How many of that stuff are there?"
Seeing that Ye Mo seemed to be quite interested in this thing, the middle-aged commander was also very happy. "About thirty barrels."
More than 30 barrels of fierce fire oil, not much, but as long as it is used in a place, it can still play a great role. It seems that these things must be kept well and not let others know. "How do you know? Also, how many people know about these things? Ye Mo looked at the middle-aged commander and asked coldly.
Looking at Ye Mo's eyes, the middle-aged commander suddenly felt a little chill in his back. "My lord, the last general, the last general is the one who has been guarding the Bishui Pass for the longest time, so, so the last general knows these things. No, no one else knows about it except for the last general. The middle-aged commander stammered and finished speaking, for fear that Ye Mo would kill him if he said something wrong.
"Remember, not a word is allowed to be revealed about this matter except for the people we are here now. These things are related to whether we can hold the Bishui Pass or not, so ......" Speaking of this, Ye Mo's eyes swept over everyone present.
"The last general understands that he will not tell this matter." When the people present saw Ye Mo's cold eyes, how could they not know what it meant, and they responded one after another.
"Take me to see it." Seeing that these people all said that they would not talk about it, Ye Mo no longer bothered about this matter. The previous intimidation was just to make these people understand the importance of this matter, and as for whether it will be revealed, only God knows.
The group walked to a corner on the east side of the wall, and the middle-aged commander looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so he called a few people to help push away a boulder that seemed to be embedded in the mountain.
"You guys, watch here, I'll go in with him." Ye Mo walked to the front of the exposed hole, and did not smell a pungent smell, so he knew that the fierce fire oil was still very well preserved. Ye Mo pointed to the middle-aged commander from before and asked him to enter the basement with him.
Entering the cave, the middle-aged commander took out a fire fold, and the two of them lit a fire at this point. The stone steps are still very smooth, indicating that the people who built this basement were still very careful at that time. Looking at the slight shaking of the firelight on the fire fold, it means that the ventilation hole in this basement has not been blocked, or the ventilation hole is repaired in a very private place and will not be noticed.
I just walked about five or six meters after playing, and I got to the bottom. Also, after all, the storage here is military materials, if the basement is built dozens of meters deep, then when these things are taken out, the people who carry them will almost have to get tired and lie down, and it will also delay the military situation.
The entire basement is not large, but more than thirty barrels of fierce fire oil only occupy less than a third of the space.
Ye Mo knocked on the wooden barrels containing the fierce fire oil with his hand, the knocking sound was very dull, and after a few knocks, it was still the same, indicating that these fierce fire oil were still well preserved and there was no leakage. Because only the sound of a barrel full of things is dull, otherwise it will look crisp on the side.
"Let's go up, you guys can just keep an eye on it from a distance every day." Ye Mo looked at these fierce fire oils, although he hadn't thought of the use yet, but it would be better to have more of these things to defend the city.
The two of them returned to the ground and didn't say much, and the others didn't dare to ask, but looking at Ye Mo's appearance, they could also guess that the things inside should be the same as what they said before.
A random person was arranged among the crowd to watch the entrance to this basement, and then several people inspected the pass, and then went back to the Chinese military tent to discuss the military situation.
Because they didn't know Dong Zhuojun's actions yet, Ye Mo and the others could only strengthen their vigilance. Now that reinforcements have not arrived, we can't take 5,000 soldiers to steal the camp. If nothing else, even if it succeeds, in the face of the coalition army of the princes of the fourteen towns, who will be able to run out at that time?
When everyone was speculating about Dong Zhuojun's actions in the military tent, the previous guard came in with Ye San, who was probing the terrain.
"How?" Ignoring the dust on Ye San's body, Ye Mo asked directly.
"How can it be? We've been guarding this place for so long, don't we know this place? How is it possible that there is a trail that leads directly to the back of Guò Pass? The guard was still angry about Ye Mo's attitude towards Chang Lin before, and now seeing that Ye Mo actually wanted to find a path, he suddenly disdained it.
Ignoring the soldier, Ye San took a breath and said, "Yes." ”
The word "have" immediately startled everyone present, they had been guarding this pass for so long, and there was actually a trail they didn't know.
"How is that possible?" The soldier spoke directly.
Ye Mo didn't speak, and directly put a map of the area around Bishui Pass on the table. I have to say that the map of this period is really not good to say much, at least Ye Mo, a very good person in geography, looked at this map for a long time and barely understood it.
Ye San himself is a soldier summoned by the system, if he can't understand the map, it won't be over, although he is used to seeing Ye Xuan
Point your index finger on the map and swipe it all the way. Obviously, this is the trail that Ye San discovered.
Other people won't have any difficulty looking at this picture, after all, I've seen a lot, and I haven't seen a better product, so I think this is already very good. Seeing the place where Ye San's fingers swiped, everyone suddenly looked at me, I looked at you, and they couldn't speak.
The middle-aged commander stood up and said, "This shouldn't be counted, after all, if you want to take this road, you have to climb a cliff several feet high, who can have this ability?" ”
"That's it, such a high cliff, where there is no grasp, who can climb it?" The crowd chimed in.
"I can." Looking at the people in the tent, Ye Sanmian did not change his color, and said calmly.
"For the time being, Ye San and ten people are here to defend, just don't let the enemy pass here." Ye Mo saw that something was wrong with this scene, so he spoke. Indeed, it is enough to hold a cliff with such a few people.
Ye Mo opened his mouth, and it was not easy for others to say anything, and taking it away was a person and had no big impact on the whole.
"Let's go back and rest today, and beware that the enemy may come back for a night attack recently." At this time, there is nothing to discuss in this atmosphere. In addition, it was indeed late, so Ye Mo asked everyone to go back to rest.
Hearing Ye Mo say that the enemy might attack at night, everyone didn't care, and planned to arrange a few people to fool around. After all, who can know the movements of the enemy army, and whether these people are crossing the party or not, even if they are crossing the party, Ye Mo is still not sure that the enemy army will come to attack at night, after all, history has changed a lot.
Although his commander didn't take Ye Mo's words seriously, Chang Lin was different, although he was a literati, he also knew that the military order was as above. Now that Ye Mo is here, although nominally Ye Mo is not the chief official of Bishui Pass, he is not either, so he plans to listen to Ye Mo's arrangement. After all, even if the enemy army does not come, there is no loss.
Chang Lin wanted to increase the number of soldiers for the night vigil, and those commanders were helpless, after all, Chang Lin's prestige in their hearts was still quite high, so they added 700 soldiers to patrol the night.
The others withdrew from the Chinese military tent, and only Ye Mo was left in the tent. After Ye Mo instructed the room to get Ye San something to eat, several people discussed the situation in Bishui Pass in the tent.
In the end, the crowd came to the conclusion that with these people, the enemy would only be able to resist for three or five days at most, while the enemy did not sleep. Although the coalition forces could not set up a large army to attack together, in the same way, they could only go up to some people on their side, and in the end, it became a fight between the two sides, but there was a wall on their side. If the coalition forces have siege weapons, the time they can hold the pass will be greatly shortened.
After discussing for a while, but after not getting any good solutions, Ye Mo and the others went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of drums and shouts of killing outside, which suddenly woke Ye Mo and the others from their dreams.
Sitting on the bed, Ye Mo rubbed his head, opened his eyes in a daze, listened to the sound outside, and muttered: "Fortunately, it was a day early, otherwise this battle would be difficult to fight, and Dong Zhuo would really enter Luoyang." ”。
