Chapter Twenty-Six: Fire Strike

The two armies faced each other, and the rebels at Wuruan Pass had also detected the movements of Sun's army.

Although Eddie wanted to avenge his son, he had not lost his mind, so he would not abandon the pass and run out to fight Sun Ming to the death.

If he was really so stupid, Sun Ming would probably wake up laughing even from sleeping.

But it has been three days since Sun Ming set up a village in front of the pass, and Eddie was still a little nervous at first, as if he was facing a big enemy, but Sun Ming had not moved.

Eddie took it for granted that Sun Ming had nothing to do with his pass, so he naturally lifted the security of the whole army, otherwise he would be tense every day, who could stand it.

He also boasted to his subordinates, "Then Sun Ming is nothing more than that, we will defend him according to the danger, it is really not possible, we retreat into the mountains, and he will have nothing to do with us." ”

An army like theirs, which has already figured out a way out before fighting, has long had its combat effectiveness discounted.

Tonight, there was still a banquet in the rebel camp, because most of the rebels were poor people, and when they suddenly became rich and powerful, it was easy to lose themselves and lose their original intentions.

The group of generals, including Eddie, held banquets almost every day, and they had caught a few good-looking singers before, and they were even more happy every day.

Han Zhong came to the back of the pass in the afternoon, and saw the rebels' camps at a glance from a high place, distributed on both sides of the pass, it was unrealistic to sneak away to open and close the door, and the possibility of exposure was very high.

Han Zhong's mind flickered, and he thought of a good way, he asked three hundred people to use rockets to attack the thief camp from a high place, causing chaos.

And Han Zhong personally led a few warriors, changed into the clothes of the enemy army, risked their lives to touch the enemy camp, and opened the gate in the chaos.

When the sky was dark, Sun Ming saw that the time was about the same, so he asked the whole army to quietly sneak to the front of the pass to ambush and wait for Han Zhongda to open and close the door.

Han Zhong and the others took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the forest closest to the gate and lurk, Han Zhong had no bottom in his heart, as a general, he could only pretend to be calm.

But at this moment, he kept changing the knife in his right hand to his left hand, and his left hand to his right hand, which was enough to prove the anxiety and lack of confidence in his heart.

Han Zhong is a talent, that's for sure, but talent also needs time to grow, and now he took Sun Ming's order and led three hundred people to the rear to do things alone.

He wanted to prove himself, but he was also afraid of failure, and if he failed, he would have nothing to say if he died, delaying Sun Ming's plan, which he was unwilling to accept.

Success or failure in reality often ignores personal emotions, and when Han Zhong is uneasy in his heart, he starts from a high place to ignite a fire, which is the precursor of a rocket launch.

Hundreds of rockets fell from a high place like meteors, smashing into the barracks on the left, and the canopy was ignited together.

After a while, several hundred rockets fired another salvo towards the military camp on the right, and they continued to fire several times before stopping.

For a time, there were mourning in the rebel camp in the Nguyen Pass, and thousands of people were in a mess, burned to death, trampled to death by their own people, and killed by mistake.

After Han Zhong saw the fire getting bigger, his heart sank, and he beckoned a few people to rush towards the closed door.

After all, the Yellow Turban rebels are not regular troops, they have not received formal training, and when they encounter an emergency, they will jump around like headless flies.

Han Zhong and the others unexpectedly came to the gate, killed the people guarding the door, and opened the gate.

So what are the rebel generals doing at this time? Of course, it was a banquet, and it was the highlight of the second half of the welfare.

All the guards were all blushing from drinking, even Eddie, who was in the base camp to enjoy the hard work of several singers.

There was a noise outside the tent, and Eddie frowned, and was about to let people go out to have a look, when several rockets pierced the roof of the tent and plunged into the tent, one of which hit a general.

With the screams of the singer, the generals realized that it was an enemy attack! Everyone staggered to the outside of the camp to see that there were fires everywhere, and the sounds of wailing, crying for help, and insults were intertwined.

Corresponding to the high temperature and blazing heat of the scene, the hearts of the generals present were as cold as the cold winter of the wax moon. Everyone didn't wake up from drinking, and it was a problem to even walk, let alone go to the command staff to put out the fire.

As Sun Ming's troops poured in from the gate, the deafening shouts of killing snuffed out their last bit of luck.

The first two horsemen were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were the first to rush into the enemy camp, with a wave of their swords and spears, like two killing gods, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the enemy.

Seeing that the general situation had gone, Eddie hurriedly abandoned the large army with dozens of cronies, and rode to the back of the pass, but as soon as he left the camp, he happened to meet the three hundred officers and soldiers running from the front, and it turned out to be the three hundred people who released the arrows.

Eddie had no intention of fighting, so he rushed over, and when he looked back, there were only a dozen or so people left around him.

Although Eddie escaped by luck, he also became the commander of the light pole, and he could only go to the other Yellow Turban Army.

After the situation of the army stabilized, Sun Ming, Yu Li and others entered the pass leisurely from behind, and most of the fires at this time were extinguished, leaving only corpses all over the ground and the smell of choking smoke.

Everyone cleaned up until noon the next day.

In this battle, Sun Ming won a complete victory, more than 1,000 people surrendered, and the weapons and baggage were even more abundant, and those singers miraculously survived.

may feel that he was responsible for Sun Wu's death before. The current Sun Ming is not stingy with his own people, in addition to rewarding money and official ranks, Sun Ming also gave those singers to Han Zhong and a few brave warriors who ventured to open the door.

You must know that in those days, a beautiful daughter-in-law was a scarce resource.

For a time, more than 1,000 people in the whole army were drooling greedily, and their morale was high, and they were all looking forward to the next opportunity, and they would all be pioneers.

This battle also doubled Sun Ming's confidence, absorbing hundreds of rebels, and Sun Ming's troops also broke through the 2,000-strong mark.

There are always some people who don't want to fight or are afraid of fighting, Sun Ming will also give him the money to let him leave, and after resting for two days, leaving a small army to guard the pass, Sun Ming will continue to set off towards Daijun.

After this battle, Liu Cheng also officially became the logistics director of Sun Ming's troops, sitting in the rear, responsible for all Sun Ming's grain and grass baggage.

This is not what Sun Ming meant, but Liu Cheng himself proposed, after these days of fighting, he realized that he was not capable of leading troops for the time being, he did not have Sun Ming's handsome talent to lead the overall situation, nor did he have Zhang Fei Guan Yu and other bravery.

He had been taking care of his family's business in Zhuoxian before, and he had more business skills, so he offered to be responsible for backup, and he could be regarded as accumulating battlefield experience for himself, so Sun Ming would no longer persuade him.

After Wuruan Pass, there are two road options, either follow the official road through Guangchang and come to Dai County, or take a small road and go directly to the back of Dai County.

The eastern part of Daijun is a mountainous area, and the trails are mostly rugged and off-road, and some of them have to trek through mountains and rivers, which is not suitable for large armies.

Although the official road is far away for half a day, it is better to walk, although the military situation is urgent, but to ensure the strength of their army is the best policy, otherwise when you get in front of the rebels, the army is disheartened, and everyone is so tired that they can't even lift the knife, so what's the use?

Sun Ming ordered the troops to take the official road, pass through Guangchang, and go to Guangchang by the way to inquire about the situation of the thief and me.

After two days of marching, Sun Ming finally arrived at Guangchang, the first city of Dai County.

At that time, only places with walls could be called 'cities', and most of the walls were earthen walls, which were afraid of water, but they were enough to defend against ordinary rebels.
