With a shout, the Chu army brought dozens of barrels of fire oil from the rear army's baggage truck, and poured it on the verdant woods.

At the beginning of spring, the grass and trees withered and yellowed after many days and little rain, and when the torch was raised, the fire suddenly burned up along the mountain.

Mi Zhao laughed: "Good wind! God help me, burn-" When the Chu army under the mountain in the south saw the fire burning in the north, they suddenly became stunned and hurriedly followed suit.

In a moment, the mountain south of Hangu Pass was also a sea of fire rolling towards the Great Wall. The cheers of the hills on both sides could be heard from afar.

Mi Zhao shouted: "Three thousand and one teams, two groups to attack the mountain!" At this time, the fire had reached the mountainside, and the three thousand sergeants shouted, and the cowhide boots rushed up all over the mountain with hot and sparkling ashes.

But it's weird! Seeing that the fire had reached the Great Wall of Hanguguan, the mountain wind suddenly turned and turned into a head-on wind.

This time the situation changed drastically, and the mountain fire suddenly rushed head-on. Although there was no grass and trees, the scorching tongue of fire and flying fire chips and grass ash that rushed in front of him made the face burn in pain, and the momentum of the charge suddenly slowed down.

What's more, the armor of the soldiers is mostly made of cowhide as a backing covered with copper sheets, not to mention cowhide shields, cowhide combat boots, leather scabbards, etc., if you rush into the sea of fire, it is clear that you will be burned.

So as soon as the wind turned, the soldiers instinctively turned around to avoid the fire and squeezed into a ball. At this moment, there was a shout on the Great Wall of Hanguguan: "Rise-" The shout fell, the mountain under the feet of the Chu army rumbled and collapsed, hundreds of soldiers suddenly disappeared from the ground in the screams of panic and fear, and a trench five or six miles long and two zhang wide was bubbling with sparks, and it appeared in front of him, as if it was a forest hell.

Before Mi Zhao and the sergeants in the rear team came to their senses, there was another shout on the city wall, and huge cobblestones rumbled all over the mountain.

These round boulders collided with the rocks, and most of them bounced up in the air, flying over the trenches and smashing at the sergeants in the rear.

Mi Zhao was shocked and shouted: "Collect the troops!" "Run away. Escaping from the onslaught of flying stones, turning around and looking again, Mi Zhao was dumbfounded - the thousands of round stones rolled into the trench layer by layer, and there was a dull cry faintly from the ditch, and a star faintly splashed with blood beads, seeing that the three or four thousand soldiers were all devoured.

"Vicious! Zhou people are vicious! Mi Zhao jumped to his feet and roared: "Diversion!" Go back to the middle road to attack the city and kill all the Zhou people! When the wolf smoke rose in Hanguguan, Wei He, who was standing on the highest peak of Kunshan Mountain, immediately turned around and ordered: "Order the main force of the Chinese army to immediately secretly dispatch to the north entrance of Kunshan Mountain and assemble to stand by." After that, he looked at the wolf smoke and thought for a moment, then turned around and hurried down the mountain.

In the past few days, tens of thousands of Weihe's infantry have been busy for two days, installing roadblocks, digging pits, digging trenches, setting up spurs, building deer barricades, and moving stubborn rocks, making it difficult to move an inch within ten miles south of this mortar.

The name of this place is the mouth of the mortar, which can be seen in the strange topography. Mortar, rice utensils also. At the beginning of farming, people dug the ground as a pit, and when the soil pit became dry and hard, they would dig rice in the pit.

Later, the wise people invented the stone mortar, carved a large stone into a large pit, polished it smooth, and then used a wooden pestle to scoop rice in the pit.

The ground looks like a mortar, and it is a mountain depression, like a big pit. Reading the book is the entrance of a small basin in the Luoshui River Valley, there are two hills sandwiched, the avenue that enters the Hangu Pass passes through the middle of the Kou, and the Luoshui also enters the big river from the mouth to the northeast, and the avenue that enters the Hangu Pass runs parallel with the water flow on the bank of the Luoshui.

The southeast out of the mortar, one day can go out of the mountain into the Central Plains. In order to advance lightly, the Hou Yu Fang left all the bulky chariots and old and weak soldiers to the Ekun, who feinted to attack the Eighth Division of Zhou, with only 50,000 elite mountain soldiers.

The capture of the granaries on both sides of Luoshui is the most important thing in this campaign, and he must complete it himself. After a day of rapid travel, the Hubei army waded through Yishui at twilight, and entered the Luoshui Valley Avenue in less than half an hour.

It is said that it is an avenue, but for the caravans, carriages and horses, for the 50,000 army, no matter how wide it is, it seems crowded.

Eyu Fang immediately watched from afar on the hill on the side of the road, and raised his whip to point to the faintly visible mountain pass in the distance: "Ahead is the mortar, ten people in a column, through quickly, not stop." "Sima Fei rode beside him to give orders.

In a moment, the Hubei army army was reorganized into columns, brushing and brushing towards the mountain pass. The plan of the Eyu side is: as soon as the mortar, the troops will be divided into detours, and the front and rear will be flanked, and the Luoshui granary will be attacked.

Although there is only one mountain road, it is not difficult for these children of mountain people who were born as medicine farmers and hunters to climb from the deserted mountains to the Luoshui River Valley.

Suddenly, there was a boom and thunder, and the front army shouted and neighed. Eyufang, who was looking at the top of the mountain, was startled, galloped down the hill and rushed towards the front army, and when he saw it, his face suddenly turned blue - several huge pits were black in front of him, and in the pits were struggling with panicked soldiers and wounded and neighing war horses.

Although the pit is not deep, the bottom of the pit is lined with bamboo spears, the soldiers and horses are covered in blood, and the soldiers on the road are panicked and shouted, and they are at a loss for a while.

E Yufang shouted loudly: "Light the torch, the front army rescues people, and the guerrilla scouts go forward to explore the way!" A team of 1,000 people went up the mountain, pushed the big stone rolling road, and found the pit! In a moment, all sides were busy, and large torches lit up all over the mountains.

About half an hour, the road surface in front of the mortar mouth has been proven, and there are no more pits. Eyu Fang was already suspicious, and was about to withdraw the army to make a detour, but he didn't fall into the pit anymore, and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Pass!" Walk through the mountain pass! "Under the light of a large number of torches on the side of the mountain, the Hubei army brigade rumbled forward, and wanted to pass through the mortars as fast as possible.

At the moment when the front team entered the mountain pass, there was a sudden shout of killing like a landslide, and the arrows on both sides of the mountain were like torrential rain and stones like heavy thunder, and there was a scream in the rumble, which was overwhelmingly suppressed.

The Hubei army didn't have time to react, and they had been killed and injured by the rain of rocks and arrows, and the rear team was still continuing to hug, and for a while they were crowded and trampled on each other.

When the Hubei army was in chaos, they suddenly heard a bull's horn resounding through the valley violently, and a large number of red armor soldiers rushed out with their bright spears roaring and killing.

The rain of arrows and stones was also very strange, and it was always only smashed in the middle of the Hubei army in front of the red spear team, and it was perfectly coordinated.

E Yufang suddenly woke up, remembering that none of the guerrilla scouts sent to explore the path had not returned, and knew that it was impossible for the Luoshui granary to surprise attack, and shouted: "The rear team turns back and withdraws from the mortar!" "Rao is like this, and the two or three thousand men and horses in the valley mouth have also been all surrounded, and there is no return.

As soon as the Hubei army withdrew, the Zhou army in the valley mouth did not come out. After a hundred battles, his thoughts were smart, and he immediately thought that this was the Zhou army thinking that he was going to attack the mouth of the river, and he wanted to set up an ambush here and wait for reinforcements.
