Chapter 242: Several Tricks
Endless fear began to creep in everyone's mind, and the feeling of suffocation made it impossible for anyone to remain calm.
After a few breaths, one of them finally forced himself to calm down, and then staggered to the war drum and beat the warning drum
But in fact, the warning at this moment is completely meaningless
For the loud bang was already heard by all, and there were only five or six breaths left before the torrent of boulders would fall from the sky.
In such a short period of time, it was simply impossible to make any effective defensive arrangements
What's more, on this empty plain, even if there is a lot of time to prepare, how can you defend against the torrent of boulders rushing in with the power of the sky?
Time seems to have become extremely long at this moment, and the long time has made many people taste the taste of despair and torture.
But time became extremely short at this moment, and it was so short that it was difficult for anyone to come up with the slightest feasible escape strategy.
What should come will come eventually, and there is no way to avoid it.
When the shadows that obscured the sun reached the sky above the camp, many people had the illusion that the sky had fallen.
But, in fact, this is not an illusion, because for them, the sky is really falling!
Boom Boom!
Amidst the loud sound of a landslide, endless screams were heard.
A cobblestone the size of a stone mill easily smashed through a tent, and then the flesh and blood residue were quickly crushed forward under the impetus of the huge inertia, bringing countless cries of death and terrifying screams
Iron spikes and arrows wrapped in a tarpaulin silk scattered like flowers in the roar, instantly bringing a shadow of despair to the area fifty meters below
A huge boulder the size of a temple gate slammed down with a sharp explosion, and in an instant, the ground shook
It seems that there was an eight-magnitude earthquake, more than a dozen people were stoned to death on the spot, nearly 100 people were shaken away, and hundreds of people were shocked to the heart of the heart
In the midst of endless screams and chaos, the kiss of death continued to descend from the sky, bringing fresh life with it.
The generals of the five parties wanted to gather their soldiers and withdraw from the camp in horror, but unfortunately, how could they do it in such a chaotic situation where they were likely to be stoned to death if they took a casual step?
A large number of soldiers began to flee in all directions of the camp with shouts and shouts, many of them without even armor
What's more, on the way to escape, he even threw away the most important treasure weapon of a soldier
Chaos abounded, and the steel camp of the three million army collapsed in an instant, and their fate was completely sealed at this moment
Cheap water.
Dozens of pontoon bridges that had long been prepared were quickly erected, and then the countless armies that appeared on the shore at some unknown moment began to move rapidly.
On the south bank of Lianshui, two cavalry units of nearly 100,000 men each were sweeping towards each other's camps, forming an iron encirclement with most of the infantry who were crossing the river
The border area between Takayanagi, Daigun, and Yanmen-gun, Nagaju.
"General Zhang, our army has already had twelve waves of nearly 1,000 sentinel cavalry killed!
The Wuji Army is simply too deceitful, we absolutely can't bear it any longer!
The Wuji Army must be taught a hard lesson! ”
When he heard that two more waves of sentry teams had been destroyed, Song Xian suddenly couldn't hold back any longer, got up and said angrily towards Zhang Yang.
"Not bad! The Wuji Army is like a trapped beast at this moment, and it dares to take the initiative to attack us, it is simply looking for death!
General Zhang, we must send troops immediately! Otherwise, the morale of the army will drop dramatically! ”
Hou Cheng is also gritting his teeth.
Zhang Yang frowned slightly, although he was also very angry, but Lord Thorn Shi had instructed that he must not act rashly without an order.
At present, this situation makes him feel very difficult, it is not to send troops, nor is it to send troops.
Is it necessary to withdraw all the scouts?
No way!
If a large army does not have scouts to cover the perimeter, it is equivalent to becoming absolutely blind, which is fatal for an army.
What's more, if the order to attack Youzhou came from the Assassin History, they must master every move of the Wuji Army on the opposite side, otherwise they would not dare to march quickly.
"General Zhang! Don't hesitate! Those Wuji troops have stepped into my Yanmen County and are reckless!
Otherwise, we will clear out the enemy troops who have entered Yanmen County, and then we will not enter Dai County first, and Chen soldiers will be able to be on the border between the two states. ”
Wei Xu, who had been silent, was also instigated at this time.
Zhang Yang was a little moved, but when he thought of the Hongqi Mountain in front of him, he shook his head and said:
"No, the terrain of the Hongqi Mountain Range is complex and the roads are rugged, if the Wuji Army ambushes the army there, we are very likely to fall into a bitter battle, or even be defeated!
The danger is too great to move! ”
Song Xian couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart, this Zhang Yang was too careful, but Zhang Yang was the general arranged by Ding Yuan, and without his order, it would be difficult for them to mobilize the army.
So I can only continue to persuade:
"General Zhang, according to the report of the previous spies, there is a crowd of people in the camp of the Wuji Army on the opposite side, and there are more than 300,000 people who can be seen alone
And the Wuji Army only has a total of 500,000 troops in Gaoyanagi, even if they want to set up an ambush in Hongqi Mountain, what can they do with only 100,000 people?
You know, we have an army of a million!
And most of them are elite veterans who have been on the battlefield several times, how can they be afraid of them? ”
Zhang Yang couldn't help but be stunned, what Song Xian said did make sense, but this burden was too heavy, and it was really difficult for him to settle down.
Song Xian and the three of them couldn't help but be even more angry, and almost began to sneer at each other.
Zhang Yang looked at the mocking eyes of Song Xian and the three of them and the contempt in his words, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he got up and shouted:
"Humph! Well, anyway, we won't go into Youzhou, and I won't blame Master Shi for wanting to assassinate him.
General Hou, you will lead 20,000 iron cavalry to take the lead in clearing the enemy's infiltrating cavalry, and our army will follow. ”
"No!"
Hou Cheng and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly clenched their fists to receive their lives.
With a loud rumbling sound, countless birds were suddenly startled.
The perspective flowed, and I saw that in the relatively flat valley on a certain side, nearly a thousand horsemen in front were galloping on horseback, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen were chasing frantically from seven or eight meters behind.
Like a hurricane, the two large and small cavalry teams soon departed, leaving the trampled flowers and plants that had adhered to the ground to rise and fall slowly in the wind
The silence did not last long, and then a huge army that could hardly be seen at the edge came again
On the eastern side of Hongqi Mountain, when Hou Cheng ran out of the mountain pass with 20,000 cavalry, he suddenly found that countless armies appeared in front of him early.
Looking at the strength of the army, it is roughly estimated that there are at least 200,000.
Hou Cheng hurriedly ordered the army to slowly slow down, and finally stopped thousands of kilometers away from the enemy.
The enemy's 200,000 troops could not break through with their own 20,000 cavalry, so it was better to wait for the arrival of the rear army.
It's just that Hou Cheng is puzzled that the Wuji Army has arranged an army of 500,000 in Gaoliu, but why is it only more than 200,000 at this time?
Where did the other 300,000 troops go? Could it be that he really entered the Hongqi Mountain and set up an ambush?
But no, he had passed safely with 20,000 cavalry, and there were no accidents during the period
Or does the other party simply look down on their 20,000 people, and the real target is their own main force?
Thinking of this, Hou Cheng was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly ordered the messenger to return to report to Zhang Yang.
However, it was already too late.
The Wuji Army did set up an ambush in Hongqi Mountain, but there were only more than 80,000 people, and they were responsible for occupying the high ground and killing and wounding them with stone arrows
The remaining 200,000 had already gone around to the west side of the Hung Shan Mountain, intercepting the retreat of the Bingzhou army.
Bingzhou, like Youzhou, is connected to the grassland, and the horse resources are very rich, so the cavalry also accounts for a large proportion, and it is the real main force.
Of the 1 million troops who came this time, nearly 400,000 were cavalry.
Cavalry is definitely a killing weapon on flat land, but in this undulating and bumpy mountain, they have become a heavy burden
Liaodong County, Dingbei military camp on the west side of Xiangping City.
"General Yue, the Wuji Army is a wolf ambition, we must not hand over the military camp!
Otherwise, we will lose our base, not to mention food and grass, and we will be more likely to be suddenly attacked by the Wuji Army
The situation will be worrying! ”
Liu Bei persuaded Gongsun Yue bitterly.
Gongsun Yue hesitated for a while, but said helplessly:
"Liu Zhonglang, now that the eldest brother has gone to Jixian County, and the Wuji Army has come to threaten it, if we don't comply, the Wuji Army will definitely attack.
Although it is true that the fight starts, I am sure that the Northern Army may not be afraid of them, but if they do so, it will be a blatant rebellion.
My grandson's family can't afford such a big crime. ”
Liu Bei frowned slightly, but mocked:
"He is unrestrained and can't represent the big man, how can he be said to be a rebellion?
The Son of Heaven has always been very dissatisfied with Feng Wuji, if the Wuji Army really dares to attack, General Yue can order the army to fight back, and the Son of Heaven will definitely not blame in the slightest!
Moreover, Feng Wuji still does not know whether he is alive or dead, and the imperial court has sent several armies to threaten the border of Youzhou, and maybe he will attack the whole line soon
At that time, the Dingbei Army can completely gain a lot of merit because of the merit of containment, which is extremely beneficial to the Dingbei Zhonglang General! ”
"This"
Gongsun Yue couldn't help but hesitate.
Liu Bei saw this, but he gritted his teeth and added another fire:
"If the Dingbei Army obediently withdraws from the camp, it will seem that my Dingbei Army is afraid of the Wuji Army
At that time, let alone holding up our heads in the court, I'm afraid that even the city defenders and the people may not be able to look down on us! ”
Gongsun Yue was stunned for a moment, he decided that what enemy had not been dealt with in the Northern Army? How can you be afraid of a Wuji army that has no wind and no bounds?
The pride in his heart was surging, and when Gongsun Yue was about to make up his mind, Gongsun Xu on the side suddenly said loudly:
"But what if Feng Wuji didn't have any accidents, and this time it was just a game he set up?"
Gongsun Yue couldn't help but be stunned, while Liu Bei was so angry that his chest hurt.
Seeing that things are about to happen, what is this damn Gongsun Xu doing at this time!
Feng Wuji's bastard not only caused himself to lose face, but also robbed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were supposed to be his right-hand men
How can he endure this hatred?
