The hundreds of people led by Lu Yi were not much different from the trapping camp of Commander Gao Shun. The fastest update is the fastest to go, all of them are reloaded elite soldiers, they are all the absolute elites carefully selected from thousands of troops, and they are all strong armies that are not afraid of any strong enemy. They don't even have the same number of people. The difference is probably that the trapping camp usually rides and maneuvers.

The best way to deal with the first dead is to pinch each other with traps at the same level as them, strong against strong.

Although his eyes were anxious, Xu Huang, who looked unusually calm, knew this very well in his heart.

However, the trapped camp is still on the other side of the river at the moment, and they must be equipped with corresponding heavy weapons and armor to exert their full strength, and it is too late to come over at this time.

Not to mention the trapped camp in Yuanshui, the sergeants who crossed the river at this moment did not even have heavy weapons in their hands. It won't be long before the heavily armored Iron Tortoises will be close to the fragile melee formation. Xu Huang, who was on the river beach behind, had no way to retreat at this time. You can't swim back, can you?

"Poof!"

Xu Huang exerted his strength with both arms, and the strong bow in his hand instantly shot a sharp arrow made of stainless steel into the iron-armored turtle formation a hundred steps away through a small flaw. After a muffled snort, one of the heavily armored sergeants who had arrived in the camp first was immediately hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Xu Huang tried his best to smooth the violent rise and fall of his chest, and tried to stabilize his slightly rapid breathing as much as possible. In a very short period of time, he has shot more than a dozen sharp arrows in a row, and all of them are missed!

However, no matter how strong Xu Huang's personal archery skills were, he couldn't shoot the hundreds of people in front of him alone.

Feeling the sourness coming from his arms, he looked at himself trembling slightly with his fingers. Xu Huang's brows have been twisted into a Sichuan character.

Look at the heavy armoured soldiers slowly approaching in the light of the huge firelight, and watch as the sharp arrows are in vain flying by the extremely strong metal shield. Xu Huang spat heavily on the ground. He's really anxious right now.

Perhaps in the future, Lord Taiwei will have a way to solve this heavy armor soldier who is difficult to be injured by arrows. However, his future is about to come to an end. It's not just the future, looking at the military array that has been surrounded on three sides, whether he can escape today is a matter of two words.

"Bastard!" Xu Huang cursed in a low voice, but soon forced himself to calm down. In this crisis situation, it is time to test the personal ability of the Lord General.

“...... There are no heavy weapons and heavy armor to fight, and there is no powerful bed crossbow to shoot directly. There were no trebuchets and heavy cavalry. There are only bows and crossbows that can't shoot through the heavy armor of giant shields, swords and shields that lack equipment, oil jars, and fire oil...... Kerosene?! Xu Huang's originally worried eyes suddenly opened. He finally came up with a way to deal with the hoplites.

"Take out all the oil. Get on the rocket! Xu Huang shouted angrily.

Xu Huang's tactic is fire attack.

Ordinary fire attacks don't make much sense, because even if the grease or something sticks to the metal armor, it doesn't have much of a burning effect.

However, the oil that came with the ship was different. Once these fire oils with aluminum chips, magnesium powder, and other additives are ignited and contaminated, even the metal armor and metal giant shield will also be ignited! And it's extremely long. A ghostly fire that burns like a maggot on a tarsal bone. Although he didn't know the principle, Xu Huang, who had seen its power, immediately thought of using this way to deal with Xiandeng Camp.

Soon, hundreds of sealed metal cans were sent to the army. These were originally used by Gao Yang to prepare fire attacks for the crossbowmen, and they were all packed in metal cans for safety.

After opening, the crossbowmen quickly slipped the arrows with cloth wrapped in cloth and stained them with fire oil, and then quickly sealed the jars. This thing is not a friend or foe, no matter who sticks to it, it will all be dead.

After the arrow was ignited, a wave of extremely dense raging rockets rose into the air with the sound of a shocking horn, illuminating the dark night. These meteor showers, like meteor showers, crashed into the military formation of the first camp.

"This. This, this?! Yuan Shao looked at the Xiandeng camp, which turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and listened to the mournful screams of the soldiers who were struggling in pain and screaming in the flames. Yuan Shao's whole person was completely dumbfounded.

Hundreds of elite heavy armor soldiers have lost their sturdy battle formations. They desperately slapped the dark blue flames attached to their bodies, threw away the weapon shield in their hands, untied the heavy armor on their bodies, and threw themselves on the ground and rolled around trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies. and desperate and hopeful reaching out to their companions for help.

Because the first camp attracted most of the attention of the Gaoyang army, the main force led by Yuan Shao had quietly approached the bow and crossbow array of the Gaoyang army unconsciously. Originally, it wouldn't be long before they were able to successfully defeat the Gaoyang army. But at this moment, thousands of sergeants all watched as hundreds of advance camp sergeants who were surrounded by strange flames struggled in the sea of fire. They were all scared.

The sturdy shields and heavy armor could no longer protect these brave warriors who had taken the lead in the camp. The pervasive flames devoured all these extremely brave Hebei warriors little by little, and finally turned into a handful of ashes.

"Huh~~~" Seeing that the fire attack was effective, Xu Huang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The crisis in front of him was finally solved by him. There are no heavy armor soldiers who can withstand the rain of arrows in front of them. The crossbowman's power exploded in an instant.

When the Xiandeng camp was wiped out, the rain of sharp arrows that flew in the sky quickly knocked a large number of Yuan Shao's sergeants to the ground. At the same time, another batch of thousands of reinforcements landed on the river beach, and the strength in Xu Huang's hands was greatly enhanced.

"Withdraw~~~Withdraw~~~" Yuan Shao, whose face was unusually ugly, stared at the elite sergeants who had arrived in the camp in strange shapes before he died. Gritting his teeth, he gave the order to retreat.

After the Gaoyang army on the opposite side received reinforcements, the powerful rain of arrows of thousands of crossbowmen could no longer be taken down by relying on forcible attacks.

Although Yuan Shao has a large number of soldiers and horses, it is impossible for him to use all the soldiers and horses at once.

The terrain of the battlefield and the limitations of the dark night allowed him to invest his troops little by little. But once the number of troops is small, it is not the kind of elite division that first ascends to the camp. It's just a target for those crossbowmen of the Gaoyang Army for nothing.

Moreover, it was past the darkest time before dawn, and the distant horizon had begun to gradually turn white. It's about to dawn.

Even at such a distance, Yuan Shao could faintly see that the river was densely packed with faintly visible black shadows. Needless to say, I also know that those are a large number of Gaoyang troops who are crossing the river!

Morale is low and it is impossible to attack. Yuan Shao had no choice but to withdraw his troops. If you don't leave, it will be difficult to leave once you are entangled.

"It's over." Looking at Yuan Shao's army who was far away, Xu Huang breathed a long sigh of relief. He couldn't hold on any longer.

Not to mention the long battles of the sergeants under his command. Because he was crossing the river lightly, he was running out of arrows he carried. If it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements, Xu Huang would have ordered the sergeants to smash all the oil canisters and set up a fire array.

......

"Yuan Shao ran away?" Gao Yang, who was neatly dressed, asked with some surprise on his face with brand-new shiny riding boots on his feet and waving a horsewhip in his hand.

"Back to Lord Taiwei." Xu Huang, whose face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes were full of excitement, replied respectfully: "After the rebel Yuan Shao's department was in the morning, he quickly left the barracks without waiting for the pot to cook, and walked all the way in the direction of Yecheng. ”

"Hmph." Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth showed an indifferent look that seemed to be smiling, and said, "Yuan Shao is quite smart. He knew that he would not be able to withstand my attack in the field, so he immediately chose to flee and return to Yecheng to defend the city. He stored a large amount of supplies and grain in Yecheng, plus brought back nearly 100,000 troops to defend the city. I don't know when I'm going to besiege the city. In the case of siege warfare, the losses will be heavy. ”

"Lord Lieutenant, how should our army behave?" Zhang Liao on the other side bowed and asked loudly. Naturally, they also know that siege warfare is not easy to fight.

Gao Yang walked slowly up a small dirt slope that was only a few meters high, and watched a large number of sergeants wearing masks busy cleaning up the battlefield with all kinds of strange smells.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, a bright color flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Yuan Shao's plan is very shrewd. He knew that we must be lightly armed when we crossed the river. The cavalry, horses, baggage, equipment, and especially grain are still on the other side. So I don't care about our pursuit. However, Yuan Shao didn't understand how urgent I was to defeat him. ”

"Command." Gao Yang's voice was steady, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Bring the cavalry and their war horses over at full speed, and put down other things for the time being." I'm going to catch up with Yuan Shao and defeat him in the wild! ”

The most important thing in the battle of the army is to ensure the supply of grain.

The army is outside, and tens of thousands of mouths need to eat a huge amount of supplies every day. In this transport conditions are extremely rudimentary. The farther the grain is transported, the greater the loss, and the less grain is sent to the front line. Nothing is heavier than grain.

Yuan Shao also took a fancy to this. He knew that if Gao Yang only relied on small boats to cross the river back and forth, he would definitely give priority to ensuring the supply of food and straw for the army. Transporting war horses and cavalry or anything has to be behind. This would allow him plenty of time to allow his army, which was mainly based on foot soldiers, to return to Yecheng smoothly and fight an advantageous defense battle with the tall walls and rich material Yecheng.

As for field combat, after seeing the sharp arrow rain of the Gao Yang Army, he no longer had any illusions.

Yuan Shao did not believe that Gao Yang would be able to send a large number of cavalry to pursue him. Because it is useless to come less, and if there are too many people, Gaoyang's transportation system will not be able to support it at all for the time being. (To be continued.) )
