The next day, Cao Yuan's allied army camp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Ren beat the drum and gathered the generals, and summoned the generals of all walks of life and battalions to assign military affairs.

A screen has been placed in the center of the tent, and a map is hung on the screen.

This map was a map that Cao Ren spent all night consulting with many generals and soldiers who were familiar with the nearby terrain, and arranged for Mojia disciples who were good at painting to draw a map of the mountains, rivers and rivers of Mount Tai drawn overnight.

After everyone was surrounded, Xia Houyuan pointed to the map and said: "Everyone, please see, this is the Taishan Mountains, Zhuge Jun's remnants of the children are based on the geographical advantage of the Lailai Mountain, and now the remnants of the Xuzhou soldiers have issued a war letter, and they want to fight with us in the mountains!" ”

"Handsome and wise!" Generals from all walks of life have surrendered their hands.

Cao Ren waved his hand to stop the commotion of the crowd, and motioned for Xia Houyuan to continue.

Xia Houyuan nodded, and said: "After you each return to the camp, you should immediately assign soldiers, with 15,000 people as a battalion, each set up a general school, and enter the mountain one by one. ”

Why fifteen thousand, and not more or less, is also well thought out.

The remnants of the Xuzhou army are about 10,000 people, and if the elite soldiers from all walks of life want to have stronger mobility than the Xuzhou army, the strength must be less than the Xuzhou army, but if the troops are too small, the Xuzhou army only needs one assault to defeat it, then it will not work, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren discussed it again and again, and finally set the strength of the elite soldiers from all walks of life at 15,000!

Cao Ren specially advised: "After entering the mountain, each battalion will look for its own mountain pass to go down to the village, and remember, the distance between the battalions should not be too far apart, at most not more than ten miles!" Once the enemy is found, the trumpet will be sounded immediately to warn, if the enemy army escapes, the tail will be chased, and if the enemy army turns back to attack, then stick to the spot and wait for help! ”

The generals of the Cao Yuan coalition army agreed one after another, and immediately received the order.

In less than half an hour, the sound of horns sounded in the barracks of the various armies, and immediately a group of armored soldiers, light soldiers, and dead soldiers drove out of the barracks one by one, and after a little assembly, they drove along the mountain path into the vast mountain.

The night is like ink, seven thousand Xuzhou troops are quietly lurking in the valley, after several wars, there are only so many elites left in the Xuzhou army, this time the task is huge, all the elites poured out.

It is already far away from the Xuzhou Army Village in the deep mountains, to say the least, more than 300 miles.

The reason why Zhuge Jun chose the battlefield here is naturally to ensure the safety of Dazhai.

It was cold in the mountains, and most of the soldiers of Xuzhou were only wearing single clothes, although they were shivering with cold and their teeth chattering, no one dared to make a fire to keep warm!

Halfway up the mountain, Zhuge Jun was taking a small number of personal soldiers to climb high and overlook.

Standing on the mountain beam and looking back at the valley, he only saw darkness and couldn't see anything at all, but Zhuge knew that his 7,000 army was quietly hiding in it, like a tiger entrenched in the dark night, just waiting for the prey to appear, it would suddenly jump out of the endless darkness and kill with one blow!

Looking beyond the valley, you can faintly see the campfires.

It was the campfire of the coalition army, a coalition army of about 15,000 people, camped by the small river outside the valley, this coalition army would never have thought that the remnants of the Xuzhou army they were searching for were hidden in the valley less than three miles away from them, and the chest-deep artemisia grass completely covered the traces of the remnants of the Xuzhou army, and if they did not walk closely, they would not be found at all.

Farther away, there were more campfires, but it was another coalition army.

After a while, the corners of Zhuge Jun's mouth bloomed with a trace of cold murderous intent, and he looked back behind him and said, "Go, go down the mountain!" ”
