094 Set fire to the mountain
"Strategist, Strategist! We're here! Ten miles ahead, it is Huguan! ”
In a cry of concern, Guo Jia struggled to break open his obscure eyes, and the sight of Zhou Cang's already somewhat dark and thin face came into view.
"Strategist, you've suffered!" Looking at Guo Jia's withered face, which was no longer human, Zhou Cang's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but sigh.
After nearly three days of high-intensity marching, the 800 giant deer sergeants traveled nearly 200 miles in the winding Taihang Mountains! Finally, we arrived here on the evening of the third day!
However, the negative effects of the forced march are also very great, the last 200 miles of mountain road, even the Julu Army, which is known for its marching, has more than 200 people left behind, and in three days, even the iron-beaten men have to get rid of a layer of skin, and Guo Jia, who has been gritting his teeth and persevering with a serious illness, can imagine the pain and suffering he suffered.
In the past three days, Guo Jia has been in a coma almost most of the time, occasionally awake, and he is also urging Zhou Cang to step up his march, without caring about his body!
Now he has only skin and bones left in his already thin body, his face is sallow, his eyes are deep-set, and on his thin cheeks, the two cheekbones are raised high, and he can't see the past graceful and handsome.
"What day is it?" Guo Jia said weakly, if Zhou Cang wasn't close, he could hardly hear Guo Jia's voice.
"It's the fifteenth day." Zhou Cang choked up and said, every time he saw Guo Jia, he would be extremely ashamed in his heart, he had always boasted of being a master, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
"On the fifteenth, the lord will definitely attack the fortifications for two days, you and let me go over to see and let the sergeants find a hidden place to camp and rest for a day, and attack the city the day after tomorrow, remember that no fire can be lit for these two days, and the defenders must not find their tracks."
"But the military advisor! 555555 I, Lao Zhou, can't stand you! Zhou Cang exclaimed, and then suddenly subconsciously shut up, these days he already knew that Guo Jia was stubborn, and he didn't return to what he had decided, if he was arguing, it would only cost the military division's strength in vain, but no fire was allowed for two days, and it was nothing for the sergeants to eat some dry food, but if Guo Jia didn't drink medicine, how could he last these two days
As soon as he thought of this, the eight-foot-tall Kansai man could no longer control his emotions, his eyes were red, and he turned around and choked
However, excitement is excited, Zhou Cang still took Guo Jia to investigate the military situation, and after returning to the camp, Guo Jia told Zhou Cang in his ear, so tired, Guo Jia only felt that the world was spinning for a while, his eyes were dark, and he fainted."
…………
"Huhu" cut down the last Bingzhou soldier in front of him, Su You exhaled heavily, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and beside him, hundreds of corpses were poured horizontally, Su You didn't care, lying on his back on the corpse of a Bingzhou soldier who was missing half of his thigh.
"It's been three days, it's been delayed for so long, it's almost time to break through." Gasping for breath, Su Yu muttered to himself.
It has been three days since this army was blocked, and since that day, Su You has fought seven or eight battles with this Bingzhou soldiers and horses, and with the narrow terrain of the mountains on both sides, at least 700 Bingzhou soldiers have fallen on this valley that has been soaked in blood, but Su You's troops are not comfortable, and now there are not even 200 people who can breathe.
In order to concentrate his troops, Su You stationed half of the sergeants on the western slope of the mountain as early as possible, and began to rely on the advantage of the bow and arrow, and the casualty ratio of the Julu Army and the Bingzhou Army was once increased to more than 1 to 5!
Unfortunately, the arrows ran out on the first day, and the attack of the soldiers was crazier than imagined, they seemed to never stop attacking in turns, relying on the absolute superiority in troops, the proportion of casualties on both sides gradually decreased.
After resting for a while, Su You staggered to his feet, a knife on his calf, and he staggered a little when he walked.
When the soldiers around him saw Su You coming, they all saluted him tremblingly, and Su You pressed them down one by one, he looked down the slope, and the two thick eyebrows frowned into an inverted triangle.
Down the slope, the Bingzhou army has blocked the valley road from both sides and forcibly broke through, which does not seem to be so easy.
"Let's see, let's get the sergeants fed first." I really can't think of any ideas, Su You muttered.
In the camp of the Merge State Army three miles away, Hao Zhao also looked at the direction of the Julu Army with a complicated expression.
He was also amazed at the tenacity of the army in front of him, with only four or five hundred people, he was able to block the repeated attacks of more than 2,000 of his own side, and also caused more than 700 casualties to his own side!
The soldiers of the army in front of him are not as strong as the previous black-tasseled ironclad soldiers in terms of equipment and martial arts, but when it comes to the will to fight, they are not far behind!
Hao Zhao secretly frowned, it's been three days, and I don't know what happened to Huguan, so I can't delay it any longer! Today, pull out this nail stuck in your throat no matter what!
Hao Zhao immediately ordered: "Pass the order, bury the pot and make rice, and continue to attack in the afternoon!" ”
The heralds around him heard the promise, but their hearts showed a deep sense of melancholy, after three days of fierce fighting, the morale of the sergeants was low, who could stand it if it went on like this?
Hao Zhao raised his eyes and suddenly saw smoke rising from the hillside in the distance, and obviously started to make rice.
Looking at the rising smoke, Hao Zhao's heart moved, thought about it, and said, "Slow! Pass on my order, within half an hour, the whole army will cut a load of firewood per person, and if you can't do it overtime, you will be killed! ”
"Yes!"
Su You had lunch, he was lying on a sunny pile of dry grass, it was the late autumn weather now, the wind was cold and cold at night in the mountains, and he basked in the sun for a while after eating, which could make the tired body recover a lot.
Suddenly, there was a noise among the sergeants around him, Su You sat up, and saw hundreds of Bingzhou sergeants each holding a bundle of firewood and grass, and the sergeants under Su You pointed and pointed, and they didn't know what the Bingzhou army was doing?
Su You also looked inexplicable on the slope, but now there are no stones on the hillside, otherwise he can be stoned to death.
Suddenly, Su You saw that the torches were lit in the Bingzhou army, and the large pile of firewood and grass piled up under the slope was lit, and in an instant, the Bingzhou army lit dozens of piles of firewood and grass under the hillside, the mountain wind was howling, and the firewood burned extremely vigorously in an instant, almost becoming a prairie fire!
