Yuan Shichuan saw that Zhong Ye had refused to face the battle, so he asked his men to dismantle the fortifications built by the officers and soldiers.

He planned to destroy the fortifications, and Zhong Ye would be in a hurry when he saw it, so he would go down the mountain.

But in any case, what I didn't expect was that Zhong Ye led the people to build a unique shape of the industrial defense, the rebels didn't know how to go up and demolish it, those wood and stones became rolling wood and stones, and rolled down the mountain with a bang, the rebels couldn't dodge, and hundreds of people were smashed and killed to death, so they had to stop and dare not demolish it again.

At this time, Yuan Shichuan couldn't help but be impressed by Zhong Ye, originally thought that the last time was a night raid, and he was unprepared to win, but now it seems that Zhong Ye is indeed a good general.

At this time, in the face of the 50,000 army led by Yuan Shichuan himself, Zhong Ye had already greatly damaged his morale without spending a single soldier.

It was impossible for Yuan Shichuan to continue to garrison here, so he left 30,000 people and returned to Shuozhou with the remaining 20,000 people.

"Surround the officers and soldiers, and don't let them go down the mountain!" Wait for Lao Tzu to go and knock down the states and counties in the west and south, and then come back to clean them up! Yuan Shichuan left cruel words before leaving.

His lieutenant General Peng Bo was in charge of leading the troops here, and he had always sought stability and did not dare to take risks, so he asked the army to retreat a mile and surround the two garrisons of the official army.

Thinking that Zhong Ye had the experience of successful night attacks, he was extra careful at night, telling the soldiers to stay vigilant at night and not to sleep too deeply.

As the days passed, the rebels grew tired. Zhong Ye led his soldiers to eat and drink enough every day on the mountain, and then carried out appropriate drills, so that the officers and soldiers were full of spirit and high morale.

After two more days, it snowed heavily at noon, and at dusk Zhong Ye ordered a black flag to be raised on the top of the mountain.

Soon the same flag was raised at another station.

The rebels gathered around below saw it and talked about it. Bloomberg felt that Zhong Ye was preparing for a night attack, delivering a message to the opposite mountain.

But then the whole army was ordered to be on alert, and there was no relaxation in the slightest.

But they waited all night, and they didn't see Zhong Ye rush down the mountain with people.

The rebels were cold, hungry and tired, and the snow did not stop all night.

At dawn, Bloomberg ordered people to clear the snow and prepare breakfast.

"General Qiyu, the rebels under the mountain have already started making breakfast." The sergeant in charge of the sentry came to the camp and reported to Zhong Ye.

"Okay, quietly pass the order, and the five thousand people in this place will bring their weapons and quietly touch down the mountain in white clothes!" Zhong Ye got up and commanded, and began to get dressed at the same time.

He had prepared a white coat for each soldier in order to make it more concealed to march in the snow in winter.

Bloomberg was preparing breakfast with his soldiers, and when the killing started, everyone was holding bowls in their hands, and they were at a loss for what to do.

20,000 officers and troops against 30,000 rebels did not have much chance of winning.

But first, the rebels were exhausted, and second, they were taken by surprise. In addition, Zhong Ye had previously ordered that for every head of the enemy, he could get one or two pieces of silver.

In the past, if the two armies could not win the battle, they could still run, and the winning side did not chase, saying that it was poor and not chasing, but in fact, sometimes it was too lazy to chase.

But now it's different, the rebels' heads are silver and silver, and it's a military merit, and these soldiers from civilian backgrounds have no chance.

But now that there is a way out, everyone is striving to be the first, and no one is willing to lag behind, after all, such an opportunity is once in a lifetime.

One party just wants to fill his stomach, but the other party wants to seal his wife and son, how can it be the same with such morale?

It was simply the tiger wolf that met the sheep.

The rebels scattered and fled, only hating their father and mother for missing two feet, while Zhong Ye's army chased after him, and some of the rebels were so timid that they collapsed to the ground in fright, and they couldn't run at all.

Zhong Ye's soldiers cut off the heads of these people like leeks, tied them to their waists indiscriminately, and continued to chase forward with sharp knives dripping with blood.

With the first rays of the morning sun, the heavy snow finally stopped. There were mutilated corpses lying on the snow, and the blood had dyed the snow red, cruel and gorgeous.

Bloomberg didn't have the slightest ability to parry, and escaping in the snow was a laborious task.

In the end, only a third of the 30,000 rebels fled, and the remaining 20,000 were headless.

Zhong Ye stood on the snow, and the sun shadow set off his figure into a god.

"General, are we going to keep chasing?" Green onion came over with two rebel heads in his hand and asked.

"Don't cross the river," Zhong Ye said, "Whoever crosses the river is killed!" ”

At this time, no one dared not listen to Zhong Ye's words.

Even though the river was frozen to death and covered in a thick layer of snow. But the soldiers all stopped, although some felt that they hadn't killed enough Ben.

It turned out that Zhong Ye had already explained the battle strategy to them after rescuing the trapped troops in Dianyang Mountain, and the raising of the black flag was indeed to tell the other party to prepare for a sneak attack. But not at night, but at dawn the next day.

Zhong Ye had expected that Yuan Shichuan would send people to guard the mountain, and those people would definitely guard against their sneak attack at night.

So Zhong Ye did the opposite, making them vigilant and tired at night, and at dawn they would relax and it was the best time to strike.

The yellow sheep on the steppe are very alert, and it is impossible for any wild beast to sneak up on them at night. Because there will always be a group of male sheep on the periphery of the flock who are particularly vigilant at night, and they will be aware of any disturbance.

But after the night passed, the yellow sheep held back all night and began to pee en en masse. Although it was only a soak of urine, it was the rarest opportunity to sneak attack.

At this time, rushing up, the yellow sheep couldn't run at all.

This is Zhong Ye's inspiration from the hunting experience, there are thousands of ways to war, but in the end there are only a few, and one of the most important is to wait for work.

You must make the other person tired, so that you can take advantage of it.

Maximum victory with the least sacrifice.

This was the second victory won by Zhong Ye's army, losing no more than 100 soldiers and beheading 20,000 enemy troops.

"The general is really a man of God! In less than half a month after arriving here, more than 30,000 rebels have been killed, and the return of the lost division to the DPRK is just around the corner. The soldiers did not hesitate to praise at all, they felt that Zhong Ye was more powerful than those heroes in the script, and how heroic those people were, most of them were exaggerated by storytellers and singers.

But Zhong Ye's exploits were seen with their own eyes, so they admired them from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhong Ye couldn't laugh when he heard it, and he didn't take it to heart.

To him, none of this was a big deal.

However, this victory was crucial for the Great Zhou court, whose army won two consecutive victories after successive defeats, which was really inspiring.
