Xu Jie was still a step late, looking at the closed gate of Tianshui Town and the strange military flag erected on the city's head, his brows couldn't help frowning.

The art of war is cloudy, ten are to surround it, five are to attack it, and the multiple is divided, the enemy can fight, if it is less, it can escape, and if not, it can be avoided.

As a veteran, Xu Jie can naturally do this, he currently has only more than 5,000 people under his command, relying on this person, if it is a battle on the plains, he is confident that he will not lose any army below 10,000 troops, but the siege of the city, this number is not enough, especially if you don't know the number of the other party.

Historically, there have been very few successful examples of forced sieges when a certain number of troops were stationed in the city.

Siege warfare is usually an internal response, with a well-equipped squad infiltrating the city and creating chaos in the city during the siege, such as setting fire to the granary, attacking the main character's courtyard, or finding a way to seize control of the city gate and let your own army in.

The reason why the Heavenly Master Army was able to capture the Phoenix Immortal was not because they had rebelled against the big clans in the Phoenix Immortal City before, and they had an internal response.

The last resort is to lure the enemy out of the city and engage him in the field.

The first two methods are not applicable to the current Xu Jie.

The last option can be tried.

And luring the enemy out of the city is nothing more than scolding and provoking.

Xu Jie tried all these methods, and the people in the city were like turtles with shrunken heads, and they didn't even have their heads out.

Therefore, the only way in front of Xu Jie is to wait.

Waiting for other Yuzhou troops to come to support, this is their territory, they have the time and capital to wait.

After having a countermeasure, Xu Jie ordered to withdraw from Sanli camp, and did not lose his vigilance and set up a number of sentry posts.

In order to prevent the Heavenly Master thieves from escaping from behind the city, Xu Jie also sent scouts to keep an eye on them.

He hoped that the Heavenly Master and the thief would escape from behind the city, and as long as the other party left the city, he would be like a lamb to the slaughter in front of his cavalry.

Xu Jie is not an arrogant person, but judging from the current situation, Tianshui Town is a plate of Chinese food.

The heavenly masters and thieves in the city can only defend the city.

He even thought about the next steps.

When General Qin arrived, he was not in a hurry to break the city, but surrounded but not annihilated, released news, and surrounded the point to send reinforcements.

Time passed little by little, and the night in Yuzhou was hot and quiet.

The blades of the sergeants on duty reflected the cold light under the moonlight, and there was no movement in the camp except for the occasional sound of fighting and the collision of the armor leaves on the patrol sergeants.

The camp of more than 5,000 people is like a beast lurking in the dark.

Under the night sky, in the town of Tianshui.

Chen Mo patted the armor on Xia Zhining's body with a knife, and advised: "I can't be stunned tonight, I can't take care of you anymore." ”

The bright moonlight shone on Xia Zhining's beautiful face, she pursed her lips, and then looked at the young man's cold face, and said the first word of concern for Chen Mo so far, "You be careful, if you can get out safely, I. I'm at your mercy. ”

Hearing this, Chen Mo was stunned, and immediately hugged Xia Zhining and snorted fiercely, and said with a smile: "Just Chong Ling's words, I must also live." ”

After separating from Xia Zhining, Chen Mo found Liu Ze and said, "Take care of your young lady." ”

……

The night was thick, Chen Mo, Sun Meng, Su Wu and more than ten people took advantage of the night to quietly go out of the city, leading the hoofed war horses, and quietly touched the outside of the military camp of the Yuzhou army.

However, there was still a long distance, and Chen Mo and the others did not dare to approach.

Seeing the bright lights outside the barracks, Chen Mo and the others frowned.

Five hundred steps away from the barracks, there were several sentry posts, and then every hundred paces of sentry posts were added, the surrounding trees were cut down, the field of vision was wide, there was no dark place, officers and soldiers patrolled back and forth, the defense was extremely tight, as long as they approached the barracks, they would definitely be discovered.

Chen Mo's assassination plan failed, and then he took out a small notebook from his arms, as well as charcoal, and recorded the other party's way of camping.

This is all experience, when camping in the field in the future, you can copy according to the gourd painting scoop, no one can be a qualified general in his life, he is a little bit of accumulation of experience, so as to grow.

Chen Mo looked up at the sky, and a dark cloud obscured the crescent moon.

At the same time, the town of Tianshui.

"It's time."

Xia Zhi counted the past quarter of an hour, and with more than 100 people, he went out of the city from the back gate with great momentum, one holding two or three torches, separated by a distance of a few feet, under the cover of night, as if there were thousands of people out of the city.

The scout of the Yuzhou army, who was staring at the back, saw this scene, left two people to continue staring, and one of them rode a fast horse and went back to the barracks to report.

However, not long after one of the scouts left, Xia Zhining and his party, who had originally gone out from the back city gate, suddenly turned around and came back.

The two scouts were shocked.

"It's not good, there is a situation, you continue to stare at this, I'll go back and tell you."

"Hmm."

Outside the barracks, Chen Mo and the others watched as a horse rushed into the barracks.

They knew that it was Xia Zhining's side that started to act.

It didn't take long for the whistle to sound in the barracks, and the Xuan Leopard Cavalry began an emergency assembly.

But the sentry outside the barracks did not move, still scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

"Remember, when the cavalry comes out, see the opportunity, immediately ignite the fire tank bomb in your hand and throw it out, and shout Lei Gong to help me, and then quickly retreat to Tianshui Town." Chen Mo admonished again.

"No." Sun Meng and the others grabbed the hemp rope with the clay pot and stared at the barracks tightly.

Chen Mo took off the strong bow behind his back, bent the bow and arrows, and waited for the person with the red number "245" on his head to come out.

As a strong army, from the assembly to the dispatch of troops, half an hour did not pass.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and hundreds of horsemen galloped out of the barracks.

Chen Mo didn't dare to blink, his gaze quickly swept over their bodies.

Seeing that he had entered the range of the lock of the Cloud Chasing Arrow, and did not see anyone with the red number "245" on his head, Chen Mo could only sigh, and then quickly locked on a person with "107+8" on his head, and loosened his fingers.

"Whoosh!"

"Poof."

In the blink of an eye, a captain of the Xuan Leopard Cavalry was shot off his horse, and the cavalry behind him couldn't dodge, and the war horse trampled on the corpse, and his intestines were squeezed out.

Just at the moment when they were surprised, more than a dozen shouts suddenly sounded in the southwest:

"Lei Gong help me!"

Then they saw a dozen Black Brown things flung at them.

Someone draws a sword and chops.

Someone rode his horse to escape.

But they soon regretted it, and saw the clay pots explode above, in front of, and around their heads.

"Boom"

Like the resounding thunder in a thunderstorm, deafening, the iron chips, wood chips and fragments of the clay pot that exploded were like the hidden weapons that hurt people, accompanied by thick black smoke, splashing in all directions.

"Poof."

"Boom."

In the shocked eyes of everyone, dozens of people were killed, the flesh and blood were blurred on the spot, and people turned on their backs.

Many soldiers were injured by the "hidden weapon" and rolled on the ground.

With such a loud noise, hundreds of war horses were directly frightened, and they galloped around uncontrollably, some actually turned around and rushed to the barracks, and some crashed into a ball, and the scene was chaotic.

The soldiers at the sentry were all terrified, and their eyes were full of fear of the unknown.

But soon, there were Xuan Leopard Riders who were not affected and reacted, and for the strong army, they quickly judged the direction of the abnormal movement and rode their horses to kill them.

At the same time, the town of Tianshui.

Han Wu, Xia Zhining and others had already led the men and horses of the two guards to wait behind the city gate, and when they heard the loud explosion, they all looked excited, and Han Wu shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”

The gates were wide open.

Nearly 2,000 men and horses, in the direction from which the explosion came, killed them.

The drums of the "dong dong dong" march sounded, and there was an overwhelming shout of killing.

"Kill." As an ordinary person, Han Wu actually took the lead.

The shouts of killing came along the evening breeze, causing a commotion on the pursuing Xuan Leopard.

And Chen Mo, who heard the voice, immediately turned the horse's head and shouted: "Kill me back!" ”

"Kill, the day of breaking the enemy, right now."

“.”

When Xu Jie, who was reorganizing the army in the barracks, heard this, there was a commotion, Xu Jie led the troops to have his own methods, and when he learned that the Heavenly Master thief army fled from behind the city, Xu Jie didn't think about it, he ordered the Xuanbao cavalry to pursue, and then he took the rest of the infantry to assist, but he never expected that as soon as the cavalry left the barracks, they were ambushed.

If he knew that the other party had only touched more than ten people, just to not make too much noise and avoid detection, he would definitely be surprised by the other party's boldness.

"Array, prepare for battle." Xu Jie, as the commander of the first army, was not panicked, and hurriedly ordered.

"Whoosh!"

Feathered arrows flew out, shooting a leopard rider who had turned around and fled for his life to the ground, killing him in one blow.

Chen Mo put the riding bow, pulled out the Tang knife at his waist, and accelerated up, with a few zhang apart, it was a sweep, cutting several enemy horsemen under the horse.

Behind him, nearly two thousand soldiers of the two guards, under the leadership of Han Wu and Xia Zhining, rushed up closely.

Outside the barracks, the frightened war horse had just been controlled, and when he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing, he had not yet reacted from the horror just now.

The next moment, Chen Mo, Sun Meng and others rushed into the team of Xuanbao Cavalry in the first place, and a cavalryman still wanted to fight with Chen Mo, but as soon as he raised his knife, an invisible knife qi fell on top of his head, and he forcibly split it from it.

Blood splattered, and all kinds of internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

Chen Mo seemed to be unmatched, within five zhang, whoever came from the enemy army would die.

In the barracks, the crossbowmen held the Divine Arm Crossbow but did not dare to shoot, because the Xuan Leopard Rider was outside, and the people who accidentally injured themselves were very large.

And just when they hesitated, Han Wu and Xia Zhining also joined the battlefield with two thousand soldiers.

Seeing a knight soldier named Xuanbao being beheaded under his horse, Xu Jie's heart was dripping blood, but seeing that the heavenly master and thieves were about to enter the barracks, in order to reduce losses.

Xu Jie closed his eyes and waved his big hand: "Release the arrow." ”

Hearing the command from above, the crossbowman no longer hesitated and pulled the trigger.

"Woohoo"

In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers of the two guards were shot and killed.

"Come in with me."

Seeing this, Chen Mo's face changed greatly, and then he roared, and led his personal army to kill the barracks.
