There was no suspense in the five-on-five battle, and in order to hurry, the dreamers gave up their defenses and attacked with all their might, and overturned the patrol in one shot, and then turned around and rushed towards the north side of the road.

At the same time, the battle at the top of the north side of the horse road has begun.

The first victim, who was also the quickest to react to the mob soldiers, poked his head out of the wall when he heard the warning and noticed that someone was trying to storm the north wall from the gate. In terms of tactics, he made the right judgment and occupied the top of the horse road as soon as possible, ready to block the incoming enemy. In his own life, this judgment was wrong.

The moment he was in place, a dagger slit his throat, and a figure emerged from the shadows beside him.

The others only reacted at this time, and rushed to the corner platform at the top of the horse road, but at the same time as them, Xiaofeng and Zhang Wei were in place, and as soon as the two killers came up, the dream man had basically gained a firm foothold at the top of the horse road.

And Huang Zhi on the top of the cliff was not idle, he held back for a long time as soon as he shot "scattered arrows", directly shooting several mob soldiers closest to the horse road on the city wall, further consolidating the position of the three people who rushed to the city wall in advance.

Zhang Wei raised his head and made a tacit gesture to Huang Zhi on the cliff, and then pulled Xiaofeng and began to wreak havoc on the north wall, and everywhere he passed, corpses were everywhere. By the time the other five dreamers came up to the wall, the fifty defenders on the wall had been crippled by three. Of the few remainders, a few chose to jump over the wall to escape, while the rest cowered at the eastern end of the wall.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Erhu had already led the "trapped camp" and began to rush up, and the soldiers carried more than a dozen simple ladders to climb the city. After five minutes, you can go to the city wall to share the pressure of the dream person, and at this point, the storm pass is basically in the pocket of the Eastern Navy.

At this time, Zhang Wei gestured to Huang Zhi again, signaling him to be responsible for cleaning up the few remaining defenders on the wall. He then divided his eight teammates into two teams and stationed them at the top of the track and the ladder.

The other end of the ladder was relatively easy to defend, and it was handed over to Sima Fuqiang, Wanyue, Huang Ying and Wuyang. The other four people guarded the horse road on the west side, and at the same time, with the assistance of Huang Zhi on the cliff, they only needed to guard it for five minutes.

The dreamers had also considered a possible way to open the gate, but because they had to clear the defenders on the north wall first, otherwise once these people activated the mechanisms of the Rolling Stone Samusaki, the "trapped camp" would have no chance to rush up, so in the end they decided to decide whether to carry out this step according to the situation on the scene.

It was obviously too late at this time, the area inside the storm pass was very small, so the mob army reacted relatively quickly, and at this time a considerable number of soldiers had already poured out of the barracks, and after seeing the situation clearly, they were rushing towards the north wall.

But there was clearly no opponent of the dream man among these people, and after several successive waves of attacks were repulsed, the "trapped camp" had already climbed the city walls.

The next thing was even easier, and under the leadership of the Dream Man, the elite soldiers of the "trapped camp" launched a counterattack against the defenders. Condescending and the disparity in strength, the Eastern Navy soon achieved an overwhelming advantage. By the time they got back to the ground and opened the north gate of the storm gate and let in the cavalry battalion that followed, someone from the mob had already opened the south gate and ran away.

In addition to the action of the dream man at the beginning, this is the first time that the Eastern Navy has fought more and less, and there is no possibility of any accident at all. Before it came out, the storm pass had completely fallen under the control of the Eastern Navy. Even at the behest of the man in the dream, in order to create better conditions for the next battle, the cavalry battalion annihilated all the defenders who fled from the south gate.

The space inside the pass was too small, and the "trapped camp" and the cavalry battalion returned to the north of the mountain after completing the task of attacking the fortification, and handed over the task of guarding the pass to the second battalion, which had more experience in this area.

At this time, the time had come to the twelfth day, and two days later, the dreamer had to temporarily leave the Dongzhou Continent, return to the "real" world, and wait for twelve hours before returning. If you advance into the northern plains at this time, it is very likely that the temporary departure of the dreamer will affect the battle situation.

Therefore, Sima Fuqiang simply asked the Eastern Navy to use the Storm Pass as a base, rest in place for two days, and see if they could play some tricks around the Storm Pass by the way. This point was also determined after interrogating the officers of the mob army, and when the 2,000 men and horses of the Eastern Navy were approaching the pass, the defenders of the storm pass had already sent scouts to several other cities to ask for help, and it was believed that the reinforcements would be gathered in a few days.

After dawn, the banner of the mob army was still fluttering on the wall of the storm gate, and the soldiers of the Eastern Navy on duty on the south wall also changed into the uniforms of the mob army.

The dreamer is going to use the Storm Pass as bait to try to eliminate some of the mob army's living forces, so that when they enter the northern plains of the Storm County, they will be under less pressure.

After an hour or so of fierce fighting, the storm entered a two-day lull period, and finally, on the fourteenth day after the Dream Man was about to leave, reinforcements from the Mob Army arrived.

The three stinkers had also considered taking the initiative, just like when they were in Tail County. However, to the south of the storm pass is the northern plain of the storm county, which is completely different from the terrain around the tail city.

On this kind of plain, there is really no other trick to play except to use the speed advantage of the cavalry to carry out surprise attacks. And relying on Du Ziteng's cavalry battalion to fight guerrillas is not as affordable as luring the other party to this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack storm pass, so this plan was abandoned as soon as possible.

The total number of mob troops who came to the aid was about 4,000, which was twice the size of the Eastern Navy. But they should have different subordinates, each with a different banner of generals, which is very similar to the original Weixian rebels.

Seeing this situation on the south wall, Du Ziteng immediately expressed his opinion to the three decision-makers of the Eastern Navy, "There are factional disputes within the mob army, and this is a common problem of almost all the rebel armies on the Dongzhou Continent. The same situation existed with the rebels in Hakuo Prefecture, where they came together for the common good, but they were selectively divided into several different factions depending on the mountain they originally occupied, or the different places where they came from. ”

Sima Fuqiang nodded while listening, his research on this aspect is definitely much deeper than Du Ziteng, from the Chu and Han dynasties at the end of the Qin Dynasty to the eighteenth princes of the late Han Dynasty; From the end of the Sui Dynasty when the rebel armies annexed each other, to the late Ming Dynasty, the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fought for power. Since ancient times, peasant rebels or local forces may have united for a common goal at the beginning of the uprising, but they can share weal and woe, but they cannot share wealth and nobility, and once they reach the threshold of profit distribution, the greedy side of the surname is exposed, and the ostensibly harmonious coalition forces quickly fall apart.

However, Sima Fuqiang only studied this matter from the perspective of people's surnames, but Du Ziteng was once a part of it, one knew why it was true, and the other knew it, which is the difference between theory and practice. So the captain of the East China Sea listened quietly, listening to the appearance of Du Ziteng, who was also a party in the past.

"The space for the storm earthquake pass is limited, and it is obviously impossible to lure all these 4,000 people in one time and catch them all at once." Du Ziteng said the biggest trouble in the hearts of the people in the dream, obviously this rare wise general of the rebels in Yuanwei County is not in vain, although he has been repeatedly defeated by the people in the dream, it does not mean that he is useless.

Seeing the captain's serious expression, Huang Zhi and Zhang Wei also realized that what the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Eastern Navy said should be quite informative, and they all cheered up and listened carefully to his analysis.

Du Ziteng's opinions at the beginning were just out of the habit of leading troops to fight in Weixian County, that is, he still couldn't get rid of the spirit of the superior. As soon as the words came out, he already regretted it a little, even Liu Yuanzhi, who was the captain of the Eastern China Navy, had never casually expressed his opinion without being asked by the person in the dream.

Moreover, in his mind, his little opinion was just a superficial opinion that was immature and could not be put on the table in front of the three decision-makers of the Eastern Navy. Originally, when he said this, he consciously wanted to stop his mouth and continue to obediently follow Li Erhu to be a good listener. But when he turned his head, he found that the three bosses in Li Erhu's mouth were looking at him seriously, which made him a little surprised.

I didn't expect this situation at all in advance, and after saying two sentences, several dream bosses not only did not interrupt themselves impatiently, but listened humbly, which moved him.

Du Ziteng is also a person from the city government, and he doesn't talk about any emotions like Li Erhu, so he quickly buried this emotion deep in his heart and decided to redouble his efforts for the strength of the Eastern Navy in the future. He decided to continue to pull out all the opinions in his mind, and never think about what the three big guys thought of his proposal.

Turning his head and pointing to the 4,000 mob troops on the plain below the mountain that were gradually approaching the Storm Pass, Du Ziteng continued, "Everyone, look. On the surface, this mob army may seem like a unit, but if you look closely, you will see that they are faintly divided into four reading units. ”

After he reminded him to look at this army, Sima Fuqiang finally found the clue, "Yes, on the surface, this army seems to be composed of four soldiers and horses, but in fact, they are divided according to their respective subordinates, rather than distributed with more reasonable cooperation between the troops. ”

Hearing the captain say this, Huang Zhi also suddenly realized, "Yes, I think it's a little strange that they put most of the cavalry in the rear army, how can anyone arrange troops like this." It turned out to be for this reason. ”

Zhang Wei even greeted him directly, "Liu Changshi, take a look at the map of Storm County." ”

Liu Yuanzhi basically carried the map with him, and he didn't need to take it out of his way when he heard the words, he directly took out the map of the storm county from his arms and spread it out on the command platform of the city tower.

Zhang Wei looked at the map, compared it again, and finally came to a conclusion, "I know, there are Storm Kun Pass and Storm Departure Pass adjacent to the Storm Earthquake Pass, in addition, there is also a Storm Harvest Warehouse similar to the Weinan Warehouse on the Northern Plain, plus the Storm Gong City that is the farthest away, all of these places have sent reinforcements to the Storm Earthquake Pass." Due to the farthest distance of Tyranno, even if all the cavalry was dispatched, it still fell behind the other three places, so the 'rear army' composed of cavalry we saw was formed in this way. ”

Huang Zhi finished reading the map, then turned his head to look at the plain below the mountain, "That's right, so General Du's analysis is quite correct, the factional strife within the mob army is quite strong. The Storm Kun Pass, the Storm Departure Pass, and the Storm Feng Cang were one step ahead, but they deliberately blocked the advance path of the cavalry of Storm City, turning the cavalry that should have been in the front army or flank sequence into a rear army. Lao Du, your eyes are very thief! ”

Hearing Lord Shixin suddenly call himself Lao Du affectionately, Du Ziteng's heart was even more warm, and a smile was inadvertently spread all over his face.

Sima Fuqiang looked at the mountain for a while, then turned his head to look at Du Ziteng, "General Du, since you have proposed this, you must have a countermeasure, let's hear it." ”

Du Ziteng had completely let go at this time, walked from the command platform to the edge of the female wall of the city tower, and pointed to the plain under the mountain, "Needless to say, the first battle is needless to say, we naturally want to lure as many mob troops as possible to come up and exterminate them." The most important thing is the back, the last general thinks that the previous strategy can be continued, the last general leads the cavalry battalion out of the pass to chase down the retreating mob army, and then when they organize a counterattack, the cavalry battalion pretends to be defeated. ”

Hearing this, Sima Fuqiang didn't hear anything surprising, according to common sense, the storm pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is already in the hands of the Eastern Navy, even if the cavalry battalion is defeated for a while, the mob army should not rush to pursue it out of prudent consideration. However, he believed that Du Ziteng's suggestion must have taken into account the current situation of the mob army, so he continued to listen patiently.

At this time, in order to compete for the credit of recovering the storm pass, as long as one of the four mob armies under different commands under the mountain could not bear to chase the cavalry battalion, the other three would inevitably leave all their worries behind and rush to pursue. We can then take advantage of the terrain of the Storm Pass and hit them a second time! ”

After Du Ziteng's remarks, the three top decision-makers of the Eastern Navy began to consider the feasibility of this plan.

As a result, the first to question was Huang Zhi, "What if the four troops are not fooled?" In other words, when our Eastern Navy is faced with such a situation, it will not easily pursue. ”

Du Ziteng knew that Huang Zhi was "not counting the victory, the first defeat" in the art of war, and it was also the attitude that a commander who decided the life and death of his subordinates should have, "Hehe, Lord Shixin, this is an overestimation of the mob army." The mob army is essentially the same as the rebel army in Chuwei County, and there will definitely be military talents, but there will certainly not be many. Assuming that the rebels of Weixian are now under the mountain, the last general can guarantee that at least two armies will be in pursuit. And if we think about the worst, even if we don't succeed in luring the enemy, we won't have much to lose, will we? ”

Du Ziteng's thoughts and statements were obviously correct, but the timing was not quite right, because the people in the dream couldn't afford to waste time, whether they wanted to or not, they had to leave the Dongzhou Continent through the night tent tonight.

Therefore, they can't put the initiative in the hands of the other party, otherwise if the other party waits until the person in the dream is not there to launch an attack on the storm level, there are too many unknown factors. Although I also believe in the ability of the soldiers of the Eastern Navy, the loss is indispensable, and this is exactly what the dream man cannot accept.

The reason why Huang Zhi raised this question was not untargeted, obviously he already had a better plan in mind. And Sima Fuqiang and Zhang Wei, who knew his style better, no longer expressed their opinions when they heard this, but quietly waited for his next words.

Huang Zhi glanced at the two of them and knew that they had figured out their surnames, so they no longer hid their secrets, "Actually, Lao Du's suggestion is very good, but I don't think it's enough." We can make this drama of running away a little more sufficiently, so that the mob army will not be missed! Not only will we be defeated, but we will be so defeated that we will abandon it! ”

If Du Ziteng's strategy is to hand over the decision of whether to chase or not to chase to the other party, it is a bit resigned to fate. Then Huang Zhi's plan is to use a higher realm of tricks to return the storm to the hands of the mob army, so that they don't want to, and then really close the door and beat the dogs again.

After listening to Huang Zhi's seemingly crazy plan, Du Ziteng was stunned for a long time, but after repeated consideration, he found that this plan was simply impeccable.

"I lost three times and twice at the hands of the person in my dreams, and I didn't lose unjustly!" Du Ziteng was convinced at this moment. He finally completely let go of the mentality of the superiors, lowered himself to the same position as Wu Qiang, Chen Chuang and others, and prepared to humbly learn the way of using troops from the three bigwigs.

At this time when the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Navy were discussing how to deal with the mob army under the mountain, the four reinforcements of the mob army, which were not subordinate to each other, also sent their respective scouts to inquire about the situation. The reception was naturally entrusted to Huang Zhi, a "social" master, to be responsible.

Huang Zhi changed into a set of lieutenant clothes of the mob army, led a few scouts who came to find out the situation and went straight to the north wall, pointing to the cavalry battalion of the Eastern Navy, the "trapped camp" and the recruit battalion stationed at the bottom of the mountain, "The Eastern Navy has launched many attacks on our pass in the past few days, although they have all been defended, but our rolling stones and trees have been almost consumed, I am afraid it will be difficult to prevent their next wave of offensive, you are really at the right time!" We, the guards of the gates, have been sleepless for several days, and we are about to be unable to support it. ”

After the second battalion was stationed at the Storm Earthquake Pass, it had already cleaned all the blood stains in the pass, and in order to carry out the plan to lure the enemy, the corpses of the mob soldiers who had died in the battle were replaced with the military uniforms of the Eastern Navy, and scattered on the ramp on the north side.

In the eyes of the scouts, there was a "tragic" scene of corpses left everywhere after the failure of the Eastern Navy's knock, and there was no doubt at the moment, and they immediately went down the mountain to inform their respective troops, and asked the generals who led the troops to send troops to replace the soldiers guarding the pass.

Just after lunchtime, the four armies under the mountain sent one of their own troops, ready to go up the mountain to replace the "exhausted" Eastern Navy.

"There are almost 800 people, hehe, we'll win half of them first!" Zhang Wei looked at the mob army that was walking towards the death trap laid by the man in his dream step by step, and showed a triumphant smile.
