Chapter 31: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
In the next three days, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to attack Aoshi Town.
And some people on the Internet are also quite concerned about this battle.
Because this is no longer a contest between the two major lords, but a question involving the ownership of the entire Suizhou, and the first county-level territory in the entire Chinese region.
In this battle, if Lin Yuan loses, then he will be greatly injured and will no longer be able to suppress the Zhantian Alliance.
The Battle Heaven Alliance is an alliance of War Maniacs, Jing Chu Warriors, and Beishan Mo.
If the Zhantian Alliance loses, then Lin Yuan will take advantage of the situation to annex the territory of the Zhantian Alliance and obtain the first complete county-level territory in the whole of China.
Opinions on the Internet are also divided into two factions.
There are those who support the Zhantian Alliance, thinking that the time and place are on the side of the Zhantian Alliance, and it is difficult for Lin Yuan to win.
There are those who support Lin Yuan, and they feel that Lin Yuan has more elite troops, and with the assistance of Zhuge Liang and Yuwen Chengdu, he will definitely win.
The two factions had a heated discussion online.
On the fourth day, Lin Yuan received a secret report that Beishan Mo led an army of 30,000 to make a detour to Xiangyang City, suddenly appeared to the west of Wushan Town, and led the army to surround Wushan Town.
In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Yuan received another secret report that Jing Chu Mengshi personally led an army of 30,000 to attack Dragon Soul Town, and the troops approached Xuyang City in the southern district.
Neither of them is good news.
When the generals in the camp learned about it, they also frowned.
However, in the evening, good news finally came.
It turned out that Zhuge Liang had long expected the current situation, and left 10,000 elites stationed in Xuyang City in advance, and the Jingchu warriors wanted to capture Xuyang City, which was a fantasy.
Now, he is leading the Tiger Ben Battalion to the lair of the Jingchu warriors, once the nest of the Jingchu warriors is in an emergency, he will inevitably lead the army back to reinforce and withdraw from the southern district, which is equivalent to kicking the ball back again.
Now, there is only one point left that Beishan Mo can't solve.
However, fortunately, there are still 6,000 soldiers in Wushan Town.
With the ability of Gongsun He and Li Bing, I believe that he can hold on for a while, as long as he has his hands free and directly moves westward, Beishan Mo will be captured alive at that time.
Lin Yuan began to gather the generals and rearrange the plan.
On the second day, Yuwen Chengdu led the cavalry battalion to the west to attack Beishan Mo's lair.
The news also reached the ears of the war maniac.
"Lin Yuan'er is too busy to take care of himself, and even sent out the cavalry battalion. It seems that the trick of a backyard fire is really powerful! ”
"Lord, should we send an army to help defend Beishan Town?"
"Don't worry." The battle maniac smiled, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "Now that Beishan Moyuan is in Wushan Town, let him and Lin Yuan's forces consume each other, and when both sides are defeated, I can eat the territory of the two of them." ”
"The lord is wise!"
Just as a group of generals slipped their beards and slapped their horses, a scout came in to report.
"Lord Lord, Lin Yuan's army started this morning and retreated south!"
"He did withdraw." Zhan frenzy stood up suddenly, and the killing intent in his eyes exploded, "Order the army to assemble quickly, I want to give Lin Yuan a big gift." ”
"Lord, Lin Yuan's army just retreated, and it was not defeated, we should not chase and kill!"
"Definitely." The war maniac waved his hand, domineeringly ignoring everyone's reminders, "Lin Yuan's rear is on fire, he is now gathering to rush back to the territory, the army is unstable, if you don't chase at this time, when will you wait?" ”
It didn't take long for the war maniac to lead 3,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 elite infantry out of Aoshi Town.
"Did you see it, Lin Yuan'er's rear was in an emergency, and he even left behind the grain and grass."
When passing through the ice city, the war madman pointed to the grain and grass in the city and said proudly.
The army continued to chase south for another 30 miles, and the weapons and equipment abandoned by Lin Yuan's army could be seen everywhere along the road.
"Throw away the armor, Lin Yuan'er can't restrain the soldiers under his command anymore."
The war maniac was even more sure of what he thought in his heart.
"Pass the order to go down and make the army go a little faster, and try to catch up with the enemy army before sunset and completely crush it!"
In this way, the war maniac led an army of more than 20,000 and pursued it 70 miles further south.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, he still couldn't see the figure of Lin Yuan's army, only some discarded weapons along the way.
When the army arrived at the Half Moon Valley, the war maniac couldn't help it, he was tired and hungry, and immediately ordered his soldiers to be stationed on the spot and began to bury the pot and make food.
", Lin Yuan's soldiers, are they all rabbits? How did you run so fast? I can't even catch up with the figure. ”
"Lord, do we still want to chase after us?" A military general hurriedly asked.
"Chase, of course you have to chase!" The battle maniac looked fierce, "Jing Chu warriors and Beishan Mo are leading the army to make trouble in the rear, Lin Yuan Xiao'er went to the rescue, Suizhou City is just empty, we can take Suizhou City in one fell swoop!" ”
"The lord is wise!" A group of generals suddenly slapped their ass.
And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the big tent.
"What's the alarm?" The war maniac frowned dissatisfied.
"Lord, it's not good!" The guard outside the door ran in in a panic, "I...... We're surrounded! ”
"What!" The war frenzy was frightened and hurriedly went out of the account with the generals.
I saw that on the two walls of the Half Moon Valley, there were crossbowmen standing at this moment.
At the southern mouth of the Half Moon Valley, an elite team of heavy infantry appeared, slowly moving towards the army of war madness.
"Hahaha, war maniac, is the urn I prepared for you still comfortable?"
Lin Yuan stood on the mountain wall, overlooking below.
"You are really a king, where the garrison is not good, the remote like to drill into the urn, now that there is no turtle shell, I see how you can resist my heavy steps."
"Lin Yuan, don't be complacent!" The battle maniac turned red with anger.
He stationed his army in the Half Moon Valley to escape the wind and cold.
"War madness, you are too weak, I will casually discard some baggage, and you will lead an army of 20,000 to chase after you. The Lord will be incompetent and exhausted to death the three armies, brothers soldiers of Aoshi Town, as long as you lay down your arms, I can save you from dying! ”
Immediately, there was a commotion from the army of war madness, and the army's heart was shaken a little.
"Lin Yuan'er, you deceive people too much!" The battle maniac turned purple with anger, he stepped onto the war horse, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted: "Brothers, as long as we rush out of the Half Moon Valley and return to Aoshi Town, he will not help us." ”
"Rush with me!"
The war maniac led the charge and rushed north.
The valley mouth in the north is not blocked, this is the only way to live.
The battle maniac took the lead in the charge, which did improve morale a lot.
The 20,000-strong army of Aoshi Town followed him and rushed towards the northern exit of Half Moon Valley.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Lin Yuan shook his head and ordered directly.
Suddenly, the archer battalion ambushed on the top of the mountain, 5,000 people fired bows and crossbows in unison.
Of these 5,000 people, 500 people used Zhuge repeaters.
[Zhuge Repeater] (Silver Level): Zhuge Liang's crossbow is transformed from the Divine Arm Bow, which can shoot 10 crossbow arrows at a time, and the range and damage are 60% of the Divine Arm Bow.
This is the transformed Zhuge repeater.
Although the power is much smaller than that of a single divine arm bow, it is much better than shooting.
Moreover, the loading method of Zhuge Repeater adopts gear twisting force, and only half the strength of the divine arm bow is required to load all the crossbow arrows.
This weapon is most suitable for low-altitude shooting.
At this time, 5,000 people opened their bows and arrows at the same time, and nearly 10,000 arrows were fired, like a downpour, and they were watered in the Half Moon Valley at once.
The soldiers of the war madness fell directly to the thousands.
The battle maniac looked horrified, and immediately left all the infantry and led only 3,000 cavalry to the north.
I was about to rush out.
Bang!
A biao-shaped team suddenly appeared in the north of the valley and completely blocked the Half Moon Valley.
"It's over!"
The first moment the war madman saw Yuwen Chengdu, he felt a cold in his neck, and the hope in his heart seemed to be poured with cold water.
