Chen Mo originally planned to hold the Falling Horse City, but these days the division army really disappointed him too much, and the people who escaped and were killed by the Supervisor team were actually more than those killed by the enemy army.

And their morale has been extremely low, and if they continue to defend it, he himself will have to be here.

The so-called Dead Dao Friends are not dead and poor, these Heavenly Divisions at the Houcheng Gate have been given up by Chen Mo.

And those people specially selected by the front city gate were those that Chen Mo felt could still be trained.

The night was quiet, and while these people were asleep, Chen Mo took the rest of the Sanwei people and horses to the front city gate.

Because Chen Mo didn't tell anyone in advance about leaving.

So Sun Meng was very surprised when he saw Chen Mo and his party coming, and thought something big had happened.

As a result, Chen Mo said: "Wake up all the resting people and retreat as soon as possible." ”

The Heavenly Master Army is of great use, which means that if Chen Mo is defending the city, there are only less than 3,000 people who can really collect the city.

The resting people all woke up, according to Chen Mo's order, the movement was not too big, and the torches were only two rows in line, and they quietly left the Falling Horse City.

There is a distance between the front gate and the back gate, so even if the people at the front gate leave, the people at the back gate will not be able to find it.

"If you don't have armor or weapons, quickly remove your armor from these corpses and put them on, and take your weapons."

Outside the front city gate, all directions were full of devastation, and there were so many dead Heavenly Master soldiers.

Under Chen Mo's orders, the Heavenly Master sergeants who had thrown away their armor in the process of escaping before took off their armor from these corpses and put them on.

"By the way, don't forget to take the rations they came with." After Xia Zhining's reminder, Chen Mo thought of the Heavenly Master's sergeants, each of whom carried a few days' rations, and he hurriedly ordered again.

Chen Mo only gave them a quarter of an hour.

As soon as a quarter of an hour arrives, no matter whether they are wearing armor or not, they can't stay in Falling Horse City and leave immediately.

Winter is approaching, and in the evenings of November, the night is particularly dark and cold, and many armor soldiers on the mountain road raise torches, connecting with each other, like a fire dragon.

Among them, many of the Heavenly Master Army also had night blindness, so the marching speed was particularly slow.

Now that he has walked for an hour or two, Chen Mo estimated that he had touched it, and he was afraid that he had not walked ten miles.

In this way, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk thirty miles before dawn.

Chen Mo led the horse team to open the way in front, looking at those Heavenly Master soldiers who were like lost dogs, even the morale of the three guards was relatively low, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He saw so much, and the people who traveled through it were all killed, and when they came to him, they all retreated.

"It's not okay to go on like this, when the morning dawns, the enemy knows that we have left, and will definitely catch up, our marching speed is too slow, sooner or later we will catch up, we are still a few days away from Tianshui Town."

Chen Mo looked at Xia Zhining, and then swept to Sun Meng, Shao Jinneng, and Han Wu, asking them if they had any ideas.

Everyone thought for a while, and Xia Zhining suddenly said: "There is a method called hanging sheep drumming in the war book, which can use false momentum to create the illusion of the enemy. ”

Chen Mo asked Xia Zhining to speak.

The so-called hanging sheep drumming is to tie the hind legs of the goat, hang it on the tree, and put a war drum under the front hooves, so that the goats are hungry and the front hooves kick around, and the war drums will sound.

In this way, when the enemy army hears it, they think that there is an ambush and do not dare to come forward, thus creating the purpose of confusion and buying time for their own army to march.

Chen Mo thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he asked people to do it according to this method.

And put up a few order flags next to it.

As for the goats, they are considered to be one of the livestock accompanying the army, and there are still some in Chen Mo's logistics.

I don't know how long I walked, but the sky was already dark, and when the army came to a stream, everyone felt as if there was a fire burning in their lungs, and they couldn't walk anymore, and all around them were shouting and wailing.

Some people directly put it up, lying on the ground, panting for breath, shouting that if you don't leave, you will die.

And for this, Chen Mo really can't blame them anymore.

It's really reached the limit of the human body, yesterday I fought for a day, I didn't eat anything at all, I didn't rest, and I drove all night, and the whole army was almost ordinary people, how could it be done like this.

Chen Mo ordered the whole army to rest for two quarters of an hour, hurry up eating, and casually ordered the army scribes to count the number of the whole army.

……

Half an hour ago.

Crash Horse City.

At the boundary of Yuzhou, the mountains are already foggy, and it is about to enter winter, and the entire Falling Horse City is almost shrouded in fog inside and outside, and the visibility is extremely low.

The braziers that stood at intervals on the city walls had been extinguished after a night of burning and without adding fire.

A sergeant of the Heavenly Master held a spear, leaned against the battlements and fell asleep, he was tired yesterday, so he slept very deeply, and the war drums were all standing next to him, which was originally beaten by a special brave guard.

But now, the drummers don't know where to go.

A gust of wind blew and hit the face of this Heavenly Master sergeant, just as he was also awakened by a soak of urine, and opened his eyes in a daze, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a slight abnormal sound in the breeze.

Maybe he was still sleepy, he just wanted to pee and continue to sleep, so he didn't think much about it, and he didn't pay attention to the lack of people around him, he stood up and unbuttoned his belt outside the city.

At this moment, a strong wind blew, blowing away the fog outside the city, and on the field that should have been empty, a large group of men and horses suddenly appeared, like Yin soldiers emerging from the ground.

The peeing soldier shook in fright, and he didn't have time to tie his belt.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of the air breaking came to his ears, his pupils dilated, and he fell down with a thud, a feathered arrow stuck in his head.

And even so, the other Heavenly Master soldiers next to him did not wake up.

It wasn't until a ladder was erected on the city wall, and a Yuzhou sergeant climbed the city wall and came to their faces, that someone woke up and shouted: "Enemy attack." ”

At this time, someone discovered that the defenders on the city wall seemed to be less than half.

"Knock Knock"

Outside the city, a thick war drum sounded, and the Yuzhou army began to attack with all its troops.

Hearing the sound of drums, the Heavenly Master sergeant under the city woke up in a daze, and took the weapon on the side in a panic.

So, all of them realized that something was wrong.

Where did the people go?

What about Chen Mo and the people under him?

But the Yuzhou army would not give them time to think, and the siege vehicle had already hit the city gate.

And the Heavenly Master Army, which was not commanded by a general, suddenly panicked into a mess.

"The Song army is mighty!"

"The Song army is mighty!"

"The Song army is mighty!"

The next moment, a tsunami-like sound of mountains and tsunamis came from outside the city, slapping on the walls of the Falling Horse City.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the gates were breached.

The Celestial Master Army fled towards the front city of Falling Horse City.

When they arrived, they found that the front gate was wide open, and there was no one in sight.

At this point, everyone reacted, and they were abandoned.

In the afternoon of the same day.

Liang Song looked at the goat that was led in front of him by Shi Meng, and the war drum held by the soldiers next to him, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

He took the trick of the army being drummed by the hanging sheep and the surrounding flags, and bluffed for most of the afternoon, until the chariot was transported over, and after shooting two rounds and finding no response, he realized that he had won the plan.

As a child of the Liang family, he felt that he had been greatly humiliated.

He was tempted to give the order for the Xuan Leopard to continue chasing, but reason made him dispel the idea.

Knowing that after such a long time, the other party must have run away.

And from the mouth of the captive, he knew that the thief army still had people left in Tianshui Town.

For the sake of the whole army, he ordered the whole army to rest and wait for the reinforcements from Shiling County to arrive.

……

November 14th.

Chen Mo led 6,000 men and horses (more than 2,000 men and horses in the three guards, more than 3,000 soldiers in the Heavenly Division, and 410 black cavalry soldiers. Arrived at Tianshui Town.

Chen Mo was one of the four deputy generals, and after the death of Lu Yonggang, Song Niu, Huang Da, and Li Dang, he undoubtedly became the supreme commander of the Five Parties' Army.

At the beginning, Lu Yonggang left 5,000 men and horses in Tianshui Town to guard the logistics and prevent the enemy from cutting off his rear route.

And these 5,000 men and horses were all drawn from the armies of the Quartet.

After Lu Yonggang and them died in battle, they became rootless duckweed, and Chen Mo smoothly took over Tianshui Town and the 5,000 men and horses.

For a time, Chen Mo's strength skyrocketed.

And these 5,000 men and horses can be transferred by Lu Yougang to guard the rear, and they are also the elite of the Quartet army, plus they have not participated in the battle of Falling Horse City, and they have not seen such a tragic scene, so their morale can still be used.

Of course, before that, Chen Mo had to report what happened in Yuzhou and ask the people above what to do next.

If you want to continue the attack on Yuzhou, then you must send reinforcements over.

In addition, in the letter he reported, he revealed that he had the intention of absorbing this remnant army.

After writing the battle report, Chen Mo showed it to Xia Zhining to see if he could polish it again.

At this moment, Han Wu and Sun Meng walked over excitedly, and Han Wu couldn't hide the excitement on his face and said, "County magistrate, we have made a fortune." ”

When Chen Mo saw the logistics warehouse of the Quartet Army, his surprise was difficult to hide.

According to Fang Quancai, the general who stayed behind in Tianshui Town, who was also a seven-rank martial artist, there were a total of 313,000 stone of grain in the warehouse, as well as many livestock that transported grain, such as cattle, sheep, donkeys, and inferior horses.

In addition to food, there were also a siege vehicle, several catapults, a number of spears for bed crossbows, more than a dozen crossbows, bundles of feather arrows wrapped together, and boxes of hanging copper coins.

There are no weapons or armor.

Also, there is not enough armor for everyone, so where can there be a spare.

And the reason why there are so many is because a large part of this is Lu Yonggang's family background.

Because most of the Heavenly Master Army has no base, they will be stationed wherever they fight, and they will naturally bring their family backgrounds with them.

Chen Mo hurriedly asked the scribe to count and register.
