Chapter 38: Try it if you don't accept it

Huling Pass.

Meng Feihang stood beside Ye Bian, looking at the wolf-like Qi army below, looking at their fierce offensive instead of being afraid, he also showed a cold smile.

At the moment when he showed this smile, a large number of Qi soldiers and soldiers had already rushed down to the ground of the wall.

At this time, less than thirty steps in front of the city wall, the ground suddenly collapsed, and the Qi soldiers above fell into it from top to bottom without even figuring out what was going on.

This pit was dug last night when the Qi army was repairing, Meng Feihang asked his soldiers to go outside to collect scattered arrows, although the work was very rough, only two meters wide and two meters deep, like a moat across the city wall of Huling Pass, but there are still many sharp and sharp wooden stakes in the pit.

The Qi sergeant fell in and was almost immediately pierced by the wooden stake inside, but in an instant, there were hundreds of thousands of corpses in the narrow pit, and the Qi sergeant behind could see it clearly, but at this time, it was obviously impossible to stop his footsteps.

The Qi soldiers in the back didn't understand what was happening in front, and squeezed forward vigorously, and the soldiers in front subconsciously retreated in order not to fall into the pit.

Taking advantage of this time, Meng Feihang seemed to be a strategist, and said to Ye Bian beside him with a smile: "General Ye, you can carry out the second plan." ”

When Meng Feihang and himself proposed this plan yesterday, Ye Bian still felt a little risky, after all, they wanted to let nearly 10,000 people go out of the city together to dig this huge pit in front of the city wall in the name of collecting arrows, and they also had to clean up the traces afterwards, so that the other party could fall into the trap.

Although it looks light, it is actually a very large project, and even 8,000 out of 10,000 people are digging the pit, and it takes an hour to dig the hole.

If the Qi army took this opportunity to send cavalry to attack its own side, then its own 10,000 soldiers would be sent to death, and they would be completely annihilated by the opponent's cavalry in an instant.

It's just that Meng Feihang is like an unpredictable prophet, last night suddenly came out of the weather like the Tengu Eating Moon, and it was dim and light in that hour, and it was also during this more than an hour that they made this trap.

Ye Bian took a deep breath and grabbed the battle flag and pointed it to the sky, then fell suddenly, shouting, "Release the rocket!"

Upon hearing Yebian's order, many of the soldiers who had already prepared them set fire to the arrows that had been wrapped around the oil-stained cloth, and then shot them into the pit.

The moment the rocket was inserted into the ground, one after another fire snakes rose instantly, gradually igniting all the pits like long dragons.

It turned out that in order to inflict greater damage on the other party in the pit, Meng Feihang also ordered the soldiers to dump pine oil in the pit.

The pine oil thing was dipped in the fire, and this time it was hard for those Qi soldiers who were still struggling in the pit, and almost in an instant, many Qi soldiers who fell into the pit but were not dead were engulfed in monstrous flames, and some Qi soldiers who thought they were lucky people crawled out of the pit screaming.

But what they didn't know was that the pine oil burned for far longer than the fire oil, and they climbed out like this now, and they themselves were contaminated with a lot of pine oil, which even implicated some Qi soldiers who had not had time to dodge around at once.

Many Qi soldiers were burned and rolled on the ground, and their screams were so terrible that they were terrifying.

The situation on the battlefield is so rapid that no one expected such a situation.

Although Dong Haoyu is a military general who has a strategy and knows how to lead the troops, but in that situation last night, he really didn't expect that the Ye army would dig such a big pit in front of the city wall and wait for his soldiers to jump.

Just in this wave of attacks, the 30,000 siege troops of the Qi army had more than 4,000 dead and wounded.

Borrowing Meng Feihang's strategy, the Ye army successfully repelled an attack by the Qi army, and Ye Bian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the solemn look on his face was slightly lightened.

Because the previous attack was not smooth, Dong Haoyu did not rush to organize a second attack, and began to discuss new tactics with the generals in the camp.

On this day, the Ye army maintained a high degree of tension, but surprisingly, the Qi army had been engaged in continuous wheel battles before, but this time until it was dark, the Qi army did not organize a second attack.

It's as if if it was defeated once, and it severely hit the opponent's morale and made them dare not attack easily.

But is that the case?

If it were someone else, he would definitely think so, but here Meng Feihang, who is proficient in ancient and modern history, he can see at a glance that he is tired.

Meng Feihang claims that he is a loophole in this game, because there are too many things, and he can see through them at a glance.

For example, the current stability and indifference of the Qi army and the fact that they did not launch an attack made Meng Feihang feel that something was wrong, and he knew that this was the calm before the storm.

When Ye Bian felt that the Qi army would not be attacking anymore and asked his soldiers to start resting, Meng Feihang suddenly stood up and said: "General Ye, there seems to be something wrong with the Qi army, let's let everyone wait for it first, if the ugly time passes, the Qi army has not moved, and it is too late for everyone to rest." ”

"This ......"

Ye Bian frowned: "But the brothers are tired for a day, it is better to let them change shifts and eat first, and leave some people to guard the city." ”

"No, everybody has to be here. ”

After thinking about it, Meng Feihang said: "Let the Huotou Army cook, send all the food to the city wall, and the brothers will defend the city while eating." ”

Before Ye Bian could speak, a general stood up: "Meng Junshi, although I admit that your strategy has worked, but you can't help but let everyone rest, now the Qi army has obviously been demoralized by our army, they will definitely not attack today, and the brothers deserve a better rest, if the rest is not enough, what if the Qi army comes to attack the city tomorrow, if the brothers can't lift their spirits, it will only make the brothers die more." ”

"You don't care about the soldiers, but we can't do that. ”

The general intervened and said, "General, I suggest that our army immediately start changing shifts and eating, and replace the 20,000 soldiers guarding the city with 15,000 people, leaving only 5,000 people to defend the city." ”

"Enough?"

Meng Feihang sneered and said, "Do you know how many people were killed by the Qi army today?"

"Nearly five thousand people. ”

"Huh. ”

Meng Feihang looked at the general and sneered: "It seems that the general not only has a bad brain, but also his eyes are not very good, the number of dead on the Qi army today is at most three thousand." ”

He didn't hear Meng Feihang's words, but he heard Meng Feihang say that he had a bad brain.

In an instant, the general's fiery temper was ignited, and he stepped forward, glared at Meng Feihang and said angrily: "Who do you say has a bad brain?"

"I said you don't have a good brain. ”

In the face of these five big and three rough generals, Meng Feihang Ling Ran was not afraid, and sneered: "The soldiers are stupid, they will be stupid, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you, the Qi army has only suffered a maximum of 4,000 casualties, which is a case of 250,000 troops, even if the number of siege casualties exceeds 40,000 in recent days, they still have 210,000 people, can it be that today's casualties of only 4,000 people can make the Qi army hurt their muscles and bones?"

"If you say that you have a bad brain, you don't admit it, don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"Who do you say is stupid, do you kind of say it again?"

"Call you stupid, I'll say it, what can you do with me?"

"White-faced scholar, I'm going to ...... today"

"What are you going to do?"

Just as the general was about to start fighting Meng Feihang, a person suddenly stood up in the crowd of soldiers.

The man looked to be in his thirties, tall and strong.

The man walked out of the crowd amid the astonished gaze of the crowd, blocking the general's side.

"Who are you?"

The general asked, tilting his head.

"Veteran of the Northwest Army, Yan Tianrui!"

"Yan Tianrui, Northwest Army?"

The general sneered and said: "I haven't heard of it, besides, the Northwest Army has been disbanded for three years, what are you talking to me about the veteran of the Northwest Army, are you very proud of the Northwest Army?"

When the old man who claimed to be Yan Tianrui heard this, his face darkened.

The Northwest Army is the common belief of all veterans of the Northwest Army, and their glory is written in the Northwest Army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Northwest Army is their pride.

Now this person's words are obviously meant to insult the Northwest Army.

Some of the surrounding veterans of the Northwest Army also gathered around at this time.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing these soldiers approaching him aggressively, the general was a little confused for a while.

In the face of the sharp killing aura of the veteran of the Northwest Army, the general couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

The general raised his hand and grasped the hilt of his sword, strengthened his courage, and then shouted, "What do you want to do, do you want to attack the general?"

Yan Tianrui snorted, raised his hand to stop the soldiers who surrounded him, and then looked at the general and said, "Are you worthy of attacking you?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, it's just that you call yourself a general in front of us, and you don't deserve it at all. ”

Yan Tianrui sneered: "We were originally a group of veterans, because of the young general, we came to this Huling Pass, do you think we came here because of bullshit to protect the family and defend the country?"

"To tell you the truth, we are not here to see your faces, we are here to help the young general, to help the young general defend the city. ”

What he said was a bit of a big rebellion.

However, the leaf on the side did not speak, and Meng Feihang did not speak.

The general's eyes were fixed and he said, "Presumptuous, do you believe it or not, just by virtue of your words, I will let you move?"

"You try?"
