Chapter 42: The Gap Between Friend and Foe

"Our army has an advantage over the top." Mu Chenmo asked.

Yang Xuan looked at Mu Chenmo, who was frowning, "The sand is too soft, the Wugang car is useless, and the most hateful thing is that these Tartars don't fight with us head-on." ”

Mu Chenmo listened to Yang Xuan's words, and tried hard to think about the various combat methods about fighting with the cavalry in the Cold Weapon War in his previous life, and before he could come up with a clue, he heard a report from the scout.

"Report, general, the Hun cavalry is only twenty miles away from Yumen Pass."

As soon as Yang Xuan heard this, he opened his mouth to scold, Li Meng looked at Gu Han and asked Mu Chenmo, "General Mu, can you use last night's method?" ”

"General Li, last night relied on the fact that it was dark that he could attack him unexpectedly, and the flat terrain of Yumen Pass and the Hun cavalry must be on guard after yesterday's incident." Without waiting for Mu Chenmo to speak, Gu Han shook his head and said.

Mu Chenmo looked at everyone at a loss, turned around and said.

"Let's go up to the city wall first and see how it goes."

The group came to the earthen wall of Yumen Pass, and the city wall made of loess and stone tamped looks particularly simple.

In the distance, yellow sand had been raised, and soldiers and civilians were constantly carrying stones, wood, and things like hay balls to the city walls.

"General Yang, where are the archers?" Mu Chenmo looked around and asked.

Yang Xuan looked down, "The archers are gathering, they should be able to come over immediately." ”

While he was talking, the Huns' cavalry had come to the front, all the cavalry were lined up, and a Hun man who looked like a general was gurgling and shouting loudly in the middle.

Mu Chenmo saw that Yang Xuan's face turned from red to black for a while, as if a cold sweat broke out, and he glanced at Gu Han, thinking that being proficient in a foreign language was very practical no matter what era it was.

Gu Han saw Mu Chenmo's eyes and leaned closer, "This is the general stationed in Yangguan City, he first scolded, and then said that he would slaughter Yangguan City, and threatened that as long as he captured a city, he would slaughter a city." ”

Mu Chenmo remembered the corpses and rivers of blood he saw all over the place when he entered Yangguan last night, and said angrily.

"Archers prepare."

The assembled archers, all with their bows, and with one release, thousands of arrows rained towards the Hun cavalry.

The Hun cavalry saw that they were riding their horses quickly and rushed backwards, and only a few of them were wounded by the shots.

When Mu Chenmo was still preparing for the second arrow attack, Yang Xuan stepped forward and said.

"General Mu, no."

Mu Chen looked at Yang Xuan puzzled, only to see Yang Xuan pointing with his hand, and when he turned his head, he saw dozens of tattered homeless people in tatters appeared in the direction of the Hun cavalry, picking up the arrows that fell to the ground.

A punch hammer on the city wall "Damn." ”

Yang Xuan looked at the angry Mu Chenmo, "Tartars are despicable, and Han people are the same as cattle and sheep in their eyes." ”

The two sides were in such a stalemate, the Huns' cavalry couldn't capture Yumen Pass, and Mu Chenmo had no way to do it.

Yang Xuan commanded on the city wall, and Mu Chenmo took Gu Han back to the tent.

"What a good way to do it?" Mu Chenmo looked at Gu Han anxiously.

There was a cold light in Gu Han's peach blossom eyes, "The old trick is repeated, just wait for it to get dark"

Mu Chenmo could only sit down helplessly, "A few points of certainty can win." ”

"Win? Easier said than done. Gu Han also sat on the chair and continued: "It's just a matter of venting the humiliation in the city today. ”

When the two were discussing the specific combat methods, Qi Yu came in and said to the two.

"There is no good way to discuss, the Hun Tartars are too hateful, we must kill them all."

Sitting angrily opposite the two, holding his cheek with one hand and fanning the other quickly, waiting for their answer.

Mu Chenmo was already anxious, and when he saw that Qi Yu's fire was even bigger, he scolded in his heart that you are useless, and you are embarrassed to urge others in a hurry, you have the ability to solve the Hun cavalry outside the city.

Gu Han saw Mu Chenmo's eyes red and his fists clenched, and he looked like he was about to beat someone, and hurriedly said.

"Seventh Prince, we have already discussed a way, now we are just waiting for the time to come."

Qi Yu became interested when he heard this, and pestered Gu Han to tell him, but Gu Han couldn't give him a rough explanation.

"Mu Chenmo, why do you always use these means that can't be put on the table, can't you fight with the Hun cavalry in the open." Qi Yu's eyes were disdainful.

When Mu Chenmo heard this, he was anxious, punched Qi Yu's stomach, grabbed his collar and was about to smash it in the face, but was stopped by Gu Han.

"General Mu, dissipate your anger and have something to say."

Qi Yu covered his stomach and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Mu Chenmo, you are still a villain, a despicable villain who is unreasonable and can only use his fists, thug." ”

Mu Chenmo broke away from the arm that was being pulled by Gu Han and yelled at Qi Yu.

"Qi Yu, if you saw the people slaughtered by the Huns in Yangguan City yesterday, would you still care about the means?"

Seeing that Mu Chenmo's fist was coming over again, Qi Yu immediately hid behind Gu Han.

"Fight brightly, fight with the lives of soldiers, not counting the energy and money spent by the Great Qi Country to cultivate them, Qi Yu, that is a human life, do you know that their families are looking forward to them going back alive day and night."

Mu Chenmo stared at Qi Yu with red eyes and roared, Gu Han hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Qi Yu rubbed his stomach and stood there looking at Mu Chenmo, whose eyes were spraying and fire, muttering in his heart that this person had taken the wrong medicine, and he didn't seem to say anything, as for it, he looked like he was going to eat people.

After thinking about it, I thought that I really couldn't talk about the gentlemanly demeanor of the Huns, and those Tartars had to beat them in fear.

looked at Mu Chenmo and Gu Han with some embarrassment, "Then you go on, I'll leave first, I wish you all the best tonight." With that, he lifted the curtain and slipped away.

Gu Han shook his head and looked at Qi Yu, who came over to find a beating, and then ran away, thinking that the Seventh Prince was really different, how did he look at it, how did he feel a bit like a bear child who didn't go to the house for three days.

It was getting darker and darker, and the Hun cavalry stopped harassing for a day, retreated fifty miles away, and began to rest and eat.

Mu Chenmo asked Captain Qian to gather the five hundred people under him, "I'm going to attack the Hun cavalry tonight, and if you don't want to go, you can withdraw directly." ”

The soldiers stood straight and looked at Mu Chenmo with their eyes intently, "Report, general, we are not a bad seed." ”

In the face of the provocation of the Huns during the day, each of them held a fire in their hearts and saved up a lot of energy, they knew that General Mu would definitely take action, but the time was not right.

Mu Chenmo looked at the five hundred people with satisfaction, and said to them, "Let's go." ”

Silently came to the Huns' station, watching the Huns sitting around the fire roasting meat, drinking the wine in the wine bag, not knowing what to talk about, laughing and scolding from time to time.

Nodding at Gu Han, Gu Han took fifty people to the place where the Huns fed the horses, knocked out the horse watchers, and put the croton prepared in advance into the horse's forage.

Mu Chenmo took fifty people to the crescent-shaped lake and sank twenty dead rabbits fed with viruses into the lake.

Captain Qian led most of the men to dig pits one foot wide and two feet long five miles away from the Hun cavalry, digging one foot wide and two feet long, and digging one at an interval of three feet.

Mu Chenmo asked them to dig back along the road until they were twenty miles away from Yumen Pass.

As soon as the day dawned, Yang Xuan came to the city wall of Yumen Pass early to see what was wrong.

A burst of yellow sand raised the Hun cavalry and rushed over, reined in the horse and began to scold, Yang Xuan listened to the content of their scolding and wondered in his heart.

Looking down, he found that today's Hun cavalry was half less than yesterday, and he wondered if Mu Chenmo did something last night.

Mu Chenmo walked to the city wall, came to Yang Xuan's side, looked at the Hun cavalry below, frowned, and said.

"These Tartars are really good."

I thought that I dug so many horse traps last night, and half of the cavalry could still reach here today, and the equestrian skills of the Hun cavalry were indeed good.

Yang Xuan became interested when he heard it, "I don't know what General Mu has done to express such feelings." ”

Mu Chenmo told him what he had done last night, and Yang Xuan smiled and nodded after listening to it.

But I was thinking in my heart, no matter who I offended in the future, don't offend Mu Chenmo, this son is bold enough and ruthless enough, and when he turned his head and looked at the Hun cavalry below, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic.

"Be careful." Suddenly, Mu Chenmo heard an exclamation, and before he could react, he saw Gu Han on the side rushing towards him.

Immediately, I saw an arrow feather inserted in the place where Mu Chenmo was standing just now, and the feathers on the tail of the arrow were still trembling slightly.
