On the third day after the Battle of Chenzhou, at the foot of Daliang Mountain, the main force of the Chu army and the main force of the Wei army began to fight head-to-head again.

The battle was fought fiercely, with heavy casualties on both sides.

The only thing that is a little weird is that the Chu army originally had an absolute advantage, and the reason for such a sudden and large-scale attack is unclear.

Because in the case of dominance, the Chu army could have a better choice and wait for a more appropriate time. And if they start a war rashly, they will have to pay a greater price.

The so-called mourning soldiers will win, and the guards are in this state of "mourning soldiers" at this time, they have no choice, and each can only fight for the enemy in order to defend their hometown. Even if they are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, the mourning soldiers may not really be able to win, but they will also rely on this breath to hit the Chu army hard. In this case, the Chu army's decision-making was inevitably a little unwise, because this war would be a loss of 1,000 for them and 800 for the enemy.

Of course, if it continues, the Wei army will still face defeat in the end, but the Chu army can only win a crushing victory in the end. At least with them at the advantage, it would not be wise to go straight to the front.

Ye Chong has been speculating about the other party's motives.

Just like everyone originally thought that the Battle of Chenzhou would not break out so early, but to everyone's expectation, the Chu army attacked Chenzhou in advance.

Fortunately, the reinforcements borrowed by Ye Chong came in time and saved Chenzhou at a critical moment.

But why did the other party suddenly go against common sense and lose patience?

On this day, Ye Chong, as usual, inspected the city with Beitangmo.

Outside the city, the 5,000 recruits sent by Wei Wang Zeng, together with the Yulin Army of the Qi State and the Liukou of the Black Wind Mountain, were undergoing a formation drill of Li Qiucicada's Splitting Cloud Formation Diagram.

According to the edict of King Wei, Ye Chong was the vanguard of the right flank of the Wei army, and he now had 8,000 men under his command.

But for a while, he didn't dare to rashly take these 8,000 people to the main battlefield of Daliang Mountain, because the Chu army had 100,000 elite soldiers, and the number of guards in the main battlefield was only half of the opponent's.

To put it simply, these 8,000 people are still a drop in the bucket compared to the weakness of the guards.

Therefore, Ye Chong could only plan and then act, even if the time was urgent, before he had enough confidence, he could not waste the lives of these 8,000 people in vain, rashly plunged into the main battlefield, and simply let them follow the Black Wind Mountain Liukou to practice the formation mastered by Li Qiuchan.

It's just that the formation of the Split Cloud Formation is more suitable for small-scale teams, and the soldiers here are also divided into several large phalanxes for training, and there is no time to practice the core formation, so it can only reach a certain degree of combat effectiveness enhancement and the standard of the formation shape.

After a few days, Beitangmo was already a little anxious.

"Could it be that we have been training here? By the time the formation is reached, the guards under Daliang Mountain may not be able to support it for a long time. ”

Of course, he also knew that 8,000 people would not play much role in the main battlefield, but he kept waiting like this, and he really had no bottom in his heart, so he could only be anxious.

And Ye Chong had told him before that he would not sit still, so at this moment, he finally couldn't help it and wanted to ask Ye Chong what was going on, "What do you think?"

Ye Chong stood side by side with him at the head of the city, and as far as his eyes could see, among the several phalanxes outside the city wall, Li Hui, Qin Wuyue, Shen Qing'er, Bai Fengnian and others who acted as the eyes of the array, as well as Li Qiucian who shuttled between several phalanxes and guided the formation changes.

The biggest difference between the Split Cloud Formation and the ordinary formation is that it requires a martial artist with a higher force value to be the eye of the formation, so as to increase the flexibility of the entire formation.

After hearing Beitangmo's inquiry, Ye Chong didn't rush to answer, just looked at the group of people under the city, frowning slightly.

After a long time, just when Beitangmo thought that his former partner might not have any ideas and began to feel pessimistic, Ye Chong slowly spoke: "I'm waiting for a news. ”

Beitang Mo was stunned, "What's the news?"

Ye Chong shook his head, "I'm not sure what kind of news it is, but Lu Shan will bring the news back soon." ”

Lu Shan was not in Chenzhou these days, and when the Chu army beat the war drums in Daliang Mountain, Ye Chong asked Lu Shan to go out to find out the news.

He wanted to know the reason why Chu Jun was so impatient, but before Lu Shan came back, he wasn't sure if the other party could find out the news, and he didn't know what news the other party would bring.

And today is the day he made an appointment with Lu Shan and returned.

No matter if Lu Shan can bring the news or not, and what kind of news he brings, he will not continue to wait.

So he turned his head to look at Beitangmo and said, "You go and let people prepare, tonight, treat all the soldiers, tomorrow morning, our army will be drawn and go to Daliang Mountain." ”

"Are you sure?" Bei Tangmo only showed a little surprise at this time, after a few years of training in the army, he has the demeanor of a young general, even if the future is uncertain, he is not willing to look at it, even if life and death are unpredictable, he is also bent on sprinkling his blood on the battlefield.

Ye Chong could understand his mood at the moment, and nodded, "I said that no matter what the result is, I will do everything in my power to fight for a little more respite and opportunity for the defense of the country." The reason why I've been waiting for the past few days is just to amplify that opportunity and make my role bigger. ”

"But what if you can't play the role you imagined?" Bei Tangmo hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a little sadness.

He longs to be involved in the war, but that doesn't mean that he will be arrogant enough to have his own participation, and what will happen to the outcome of the war. And his unwillingness to wait is actually more unwilling to stay out of the matter and watch his colleagues in the army live and die.

As for the whole situation, as the war continues, he is actually becoming more and more pessimistic.

Ye Chong did not hesitate this time, but gave an answer that made Beitang Mo dumbfounded.

"Then I'll go and assassinate Dongfang Dingtian. ”

Beitangmo was stunned for a while, assassinating the supreme commander of the Chu army, which only Ye Chonglou had ever done. Now it is different from the past, not to mention how high Dongfang Dingtian's cultivation is, assassinating the enemy general on the battlefield is an extremely small hope, and no general is so naïve that he can't even guarantee his own personal safety. Ye Chonglou's several assassinations back then also had an element of luck, and the danger was not enough for outsiders.

If Dongfang Dingtian was so easy to be stabbed now, then the defense of the country would have taken action a long time ago.

So in Beitangmo's opinion, Ye Chong's words are actually a bit fantastical.

He didn't know that killing Dongfang Dingtian was an agreement reached by Ye Chong and Li Qiuchan a long time ago.

Beitangmo smiled bitterly, didn't take Ye Chong's words to heart, and instead asked, "Where did Lu Shan go to inquire about the news?"

Ye Chong turned his head, "Of course it's the Chu army barracks." ”

"What?" Beitang Mo was shocked, "he ...... How can you get into the Chu army's barracks?"

Ye Chong smiled, "It may be very difficult to assassinate Dongfang Dingtian, but sneaking into the military camp quietly, Lu Shan can still do it very easily, he has this ability." ”

Subsequently, he explained to Beitangmo that Lu Shan could escape.

The expression on Beitang Mo's face was extremely exciting, and he sighed: "The people who came out of the sword mound are really freaks. ”

Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared below the city wall.

Beitang Mo stretched out his hand and pointed, "He's back!"

I saw Lu Shan standing under the city wall with a tired face, and there was a dirt pit under him, and he was reaching out to pat the dust on his body at this time.

Beitang Mo saw this scene with his own eyes, and the expression on his face was even more surprised when he heard about it just now.

Ye Chong's mood suddenly became heavy, he knew that no matter whether Lu Shan's trip was fruitful or not, it was time for him to make a decision.

So he directly grabbed Beitang Mo's shoulder and jumped down from the city wall.

Jumped in front of Lu Shan.

"As soon as the master came out of the ground, you fell from the sky, and the Chu army is like this to the two of you, so I'm going to be in bad luck!" Lu Shan said with a surprised face.

However, there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

This made Ye Chong's heart feel relieved for no reason.

"How is it, what news have you heard?" Ye Chong immediately looked at him with burning eyes.

Beitang Mo also looked impatient.

Lu Shan once again showed a playful expression, and pointed at Ye Chong with some excitement: "Your kid guessed right, the reason why the Chu army suddenly launched a large-scale war is actually a reason why it has to do this!"

Ye Chong's eyebrows raised, motioning for Lu Shan to continue.

At this time, Li Qiuchan and others, who were training in the distance, also noticed Lu Shan's appearance, and stopped the military formation drill one after another, and rushed to this side.

Lu Shan didn't wait for them to arrive, and said directly to Ye Chong and Lu Shan: "Their army food is running out, and the reason why they attacked Chenzhou before was to seize the materials and grain in Chenzhou, and then send them to Dongfang Dingtian." As a result, Chen Zhou did not take it, and the supplies of Chu State had not yet arrived, so they were in a predicament and could not support it for long. The reason why large-scale operations have begun now is actually just to hide people's eyes. Their real purpose is to attract the attention of the guards through the war on the main battlefield, and then secretly send people to rob the guards' supplies. ”

"I heard outside their tent that they had received news that the guards had a batch of supplies, and that they would be there in the next few days. And this batch of materials was originally received by Shen Fengyang's army, and at that time, the Chu army would ostensibly make a fierce battle posture with the guards on Daliang Mountain as it had done a few days ago, so that the guards' attention would be all on them, and they would flawlessly divide their forces to receive the supplies, but in private, the Chu army had already arranged manpower to snatch the guards who were on the way to the escort. Anyway, there are a lot of them, and if you randomly transfer five or six thousand people, no one else will find out. ”
