Three days later, 500,000 infantry, followed by 150,000 cavalry, also arrived. The 500,000-strong infantry army rested for a day at Jiade Pass and continued to advance. Iron cavalry will not be used in siege warfare in the future, because the siege ladder suitable for iron cavalry is not only expensive but also very troublesome to make, and it is impossible to sustain a large amount of output, and the strategy of iron cavalry siege can only be used in the battleground of soldiers.

Because of Ai Hao's outstanding military exploits and the death of Brigadier Wang, Ai Hao took the place of Brigadier Wang and became a small officer, commanding an army of five hundred. And Deng Dong also became a Bai Chang because of his outstanding military achievements and Ai Hao's recommendation.

Five days later, the attack on the road army also came to the good news, the Mubo Empire's Jialing Pass, known as the first dangerous pass, fell after three days of the army's efforts to attack, the army on the road killed 80,000 enemies, captured 50,000 prisoners, captured weapons and horses, and countless armor. Its own casualties did not exceed 30,000, which was obviously a big victory.

Seven days later, the army attacking the middle road also came with good news, Jiaxi Pass of the Mubo Empire fell five days after the attack of the middle army, the middle army killed 90,000 enemies, captured 20,000 prisoners, captured weapons and horses, and countless armors. Although its own casualties exceeded 50,000, it was enough to boost the morale of the army. Although afterwards, the emperor of the Sanyang Empire asked Tiance Shang, who was in charge of the middle road, why did he kill so many enemies and take so few prisoners? Tiance Shang replied truthfully: Seeing the excitement of the brothers' killing, he did not shout to stop.

The three great victories won at the beginning were extremely inspiring to the morale of the army, and the army of the Sanyang Empire advanced at a rapid speed like a tiger, and could advance fifty miles almost every day, although it would take at least three years to occupy the Mubo Empire and the Tianxiang Empire at this speed, but it also made the emperor of the Sanyang Empire very excited, which one of the millions of troops was not going to be fought for more than ten years?

This succession of victories did not last long, as the million-strong army of the Tianxiang Empire had already arrived at the Mubo Empire, and the Tianxiang Empire and the Mubo Empire quickly formed an iron plate alliance. The iron plate alliance composed of the Tianxiang Empire and the Mubo Empire and the army of the Sanyang Empire launched a tug-of-war on the Zhishui River. Often, if you take my city during the day, I will take it back at night, and the two sides are in a stalemate for a while.

This situation made Xu Su, the emperor of the Sanyang Empire, very angry, and personally went to the front line to command, handing over all the political affairs of the country to the crown prince and the prime minister. His Majesty Xu Su can be regarded as a genius in the military field, plus the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the general of Tiance, and the commander of the army. The deadlock was gradually broken, but His Majesty Xu Ju was not satisfied, Xu Ju wanted a quick victory, and fighting for too long would be a disaster for the country and the people. After much discussion between His Majesty Xu Su and the three giants of the military world, he made a bold and dangerous decision - to send a team to attack the enemy's granary, and then immediately return, regardless of sacrifice and strategy, to take the enemy's main city along the Zhishui River, of course, Xu Su will send 100,000 soldiers to assist in the siege. At that time, the enemy's food and grass supply was insufficient, and our army could continue to support it

Although the plan of attacking the enemy's granary was very common in ancient China, it was definitely an idea beyond people's cognition at that time, and the concept of people at that time was that soldiers could die in battle, but they could never starve to death. Attacking the enemy's granaries will make it difficult for the enemy's food and grass for a month, and I am afraid that at least half of the enemy's army will starve to death.

This plan has a lot of feasibility and a lot of risks. However, Li Rui, the commander of the army, resolutely took on this responsibility, and Li Rui expressed his willingness to be the leader of this team, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the team must not be too weak, and they must be the elite of the elite.

After struggling for a long time, His Majesty Xu Su made a crazy decision to transfer one-third of the officers in the army, and then select a part of the elite among the soldiers to form an attack army, and the army code name is zero.

Less than an hour after Xu Su gave the order, the entire military camp was boiling.

"Why don't you choose me, because I'm so muscular. "Yes, why should they enter the elite army, and I have to be such a junior officer. "I also want to be an elite army, and if I don't accept it, I will fight !! alone" The soldiers who said these words were all kicked to the ground by Governor Li Rui.

Of course, Xu Su was not so stupid and directly said the plan. He changed his approach: I wanted to transfer some officers and soldiers to form an elite army, which would be used at a critical moment in the war, and the elite army's salary would be doubled, and the officers would be promoted to three levels after the war. So there is a boiling situation where the soldiers above who are not selected are boiling.

According to the reason, there was no Ai Hao's share, but Ai Hao bravely stood up and recommended himself, not because Ai Hao was greedy for money and military merits, but because the elite army had such a high salary, and the risk must be higher, what Ai Hao needed was exercise, what he needed was risk, and the more risky things were, the more they could stimulate people's potential. Governor Li Rui was originally going to refuse Ai Hao's request, but he seemed to suddenly think of something and agreed again. And Deng Dong also asked to join the elite army with a shy face, Li Rui saw that Deng Dong was just a small yuanshi, and kicked it back, and then Deng Dong came with a shy face, this time with Ai Hao's intercession and Deng Dong's combat effectiveness beyond the ordinary yuanshi, Deng Dong also joined the elite army as he wished.

Three days later, Governor Li Rui galloped out of the military camp with an elite army of 3,000 people, and came to an endless mountain range, this mountain range is called Tiger Beast Mountain, which is a defense line of the Mubo Empire. Once this quartermaster camp is destroyed, the Mubo Empire will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it, and then you can hide in the Tiger Beast Mountain to deal with the Mubo Empire's army, and then achieve the role of containing the troops.

Li Rui told the truth to the 3,000 elite troops, but miraculously none of them resisted, not even a word of complaint, even if they were deceived, even if they would die for a lifetime, they were indifferent. This made Ai Hao very moved, if this was in other empires, I am afraid that he would have rebelled a long time ago. This is the spirit of a soldier.

But now it is afternoon, not a good time to cross the Tiger Beast Mountain, you must wait for night to fall, and wait for another army to launch an attack on a city twenty miles away from the Tiger Beast Mountain. Otherwise, even if the enemy army could not see it at night, the sound of three thousand soldiers galloping on their horses would startle the deaf man, and it would be necessary to divert the attention of the defenders twenty miles away.

Night fell quietly, I don't know whether it was the favor of God or the explosion of character, and tonight's moon was shyly hiding behind the dark clouds. A shout of killing sounded, and the city twenty miles away was in flames, and rockets could be seen raining down in Ai Hao's position.

"Rush~~~~" Li Rui shouted loudly. Three thousand soldiers rode their war horses and galloped towards the Tiger Beast Mountain Range. After rushing into the Tiger Beast Mountain, the three thousand soldiers were divided into ten teams, after all, the three thousand soldiers galloping together in the woods on war horses had two defects, on the one hand, it was inconvenient to move, and the Tiger Beast Mountain was mostly woods, and it was easy to be stuck by two trees when they acted together. On the other hand, the noise of three thousand people acting together is too loud, and it is easy to attract attention, although there are few troops in this Tiger Beast Mountain, but the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is absolutely necessary to disperse.

Ai Hao and Deng Dong were in the same team, and Ai Hao had galloped for more than thirty miles at this time. Suddenly, not far in front there was the sound of horses' hooves and very slight footsteps and the clatter of wheels, judging by the sound there must have been about five hundred horses and a thousand men, and it should have been a transport procession. As soon as Ai Hao was about to tell his speculation to the commander of his team, the bald man who was the commander had already ordered: "All dismount and prepare weapons." ”

Three hundred soldiers jumped off their horses, took off their saddles and threw them on the ground, and the horses were discarded in their place, and their money and armor were thrown on the ground. Three hundred soldiers climbed a tree more than ten meters high with tacit understanding, and everyone hid among the green leaves, even if they raised their heads during the day to look closely, it was difficult to find, let alone at night.

After about a stick of incense, the noisy sound had arrived, and it was indeed a transport team. Ai Hao hid in the tree and hugged Deng Dong, there was no way, if there was a surprise attack, the encirclement would be too big to have the effect of a surprise attack, so there were four to six people on each tree, two by two hugging each other, just like Ai Hao and Deng Dong. Ai Hao counted slightly, good guy, 1,500 infantry, 500 horses, 150 transports, this is really a hair.

The transportation team has arrived at the place where Ai Hao and the others have thrown away the money and materials, and the head of the transportation team is a man with a beard, very lean. The bearded man saw a lot of money and goods, but he didn't give the order to pick them up. He was afraid of an ambush, so the bearded man made a move: "Come on, look around to see if there is anyone." "Five hundred soldiers spread out in a radial pattern, and after about half an hour, all of them came back one after another, bringing back exactly the same news, that there were no enemy troops around. According to his concept, if you hide in a tree and not be discovered by yourself, you have to climb at least ten meters high, and ordinary soldiers jump from a height of ten meters, and if you don't die, you will be disabled. So the bearded man didn't pay any attention to the possible risks on the tree. As everyone knows, it was his mistake that buried the lives of the soldiers present and also revealed an important military secret.

"Great, come on, put these things away. The bearded man said with excitement on his face. It's a hair now, the bearded man and the other soldiers thought. And the 300 soldiers who stayed in the tree were also thinking: This is the time.

The soldiers in the transport team put their weapons on the transport carts and began to bend down and harvest the wealth all over the land in a frenzy.

At this moment, the bald man staying in the tree shouted: "Kill me !!!" Without waiting for the soldiers of the transport team to react, 300 people jumped from the tree, and each of them locked on to a target when they jumped from the tree, and overturned 300 enemy troops as soon as they saw it. Originally, according to common sense, those people would not die so quickly, but in order to pick up the materials on the ground, they all lit torches, and it was this torch that turned them into living targets.
