The staff officer brought the map, and Shao Diantai confirmed the location of the army, and said: "After bypassing Huakai City, we can march with fire overnight, and we will definitely be able to scare Xuanyuan Su!"

......

"The enemy protector army is still haunting the vicinity of the Xijiang River, getting closer and closer to the west, and the biggest problem is that the whereabouts of the enemy's special combat regiment are strange......"

"The enemy's 1st Army is attacking Tong'an County, and the forward is ...... near Pingpei Town"

"The enemy's 5th Army Corps bypassed the west of Tong'an County and coordinated the attack of the enemy's 1st Army Corps......"

"The enemy's 10th Army Corps has crossed Huakaicheng and has not stopped to attack the enemy, and it seems that there is a plan to cross the state border to attack Xihaeju......"

“......”

More and more bad news reached Xuanyuan Su's headquarters.

"What about the enemy's 22nd Army Corps and 8th Army Corps, what is Jin Man's conspiracy?" Xuanyuan Su found that there was no news on the battlefield in the east.

"The enemy forces to the east have all retreated behind their lines, leaving only a few scouts active. "This is information that the staff officer considers unimportant, and it is pressed under the pile of documents.

Xuanyuan Su stood in front of the sand table and pondered.

Blooming on all sides of my base camp, only to let go of the east and lure me eastward? Such a plan is too naïve, it is better to cut off my food route directly.

Thinking of this, his gaze fell between the base camp and the Tibetan Foggy Mountain.

The supplies in the battalion can be used for three months, which is enough to last until the whole army of Luokui goes south.

He knew about the withdrawal of the army, and he could figure out how long the Northern Route Army would need to replenish the logistics supplies, as long as the base camp was not lost, he firmly believed that he could wait for reinforcements.

......

"Where are the guards?" Ding Kui and Shaodianbao had just finished patrolling the camp and returned to the Chinese army's big tent.

Kong Ren replied: "At present, the Eighth Army is more than 100 kilometers away from us, and tomorrow we will be able to enter a safe distance of 60 kilometers. ”

Shaodian Bao asked: "The Fifth Army is now besieging Kaiqu County City, is it a bit bigger?"

Kaiqu County is next to Xihai Prefecture, and the southernmost is the entrance and exit of the Tibetan Fog Mountain, and after capturing the Kaiqu County City, you can enter the Tibetan Fog Mountain at any time.

"Don't be afraid, there are five legions covering the enemy and can't find us and the eighth legion, and the tenth legion is threatening Xihaizhou, and the enemy shouldn't think that they will suddenly turn around and go south. "Ding Kui is gambling with Xuanyuan Su.

The main force that went to attack the Tibetan Wushan this time was the fifth, eighth, ninth, and tenth corps, with a total of more than 300,000 men and horses, and there was also one corps and the Protector Army to cover, and the 13th, fifteenth, and twenty-second corps moved north to protect the grain routes of the front-line troops.

All the troops in the Wangzhou Theater were dispatched to cover Ding Kui's attack on the Tibetan Fog Mountain.

"The Fifth Army Corps was heavily injured in the Tibetan Fog Mountain, and they were most eager to counterattack the Hidden Fog Mountain, but they were the least likely to arouse Xuanyuan Su's suspicion.

Because the adults have gathered the three elite legions, it stands to reason that the five legions with weak combat power should not be used, which is called the main battle and the reverse use. Liu Yu explained for Ding Kui.

"If you were the commander of the enemy army, what would you think of this situation?" Kong Ren asked Shaodian Bao for advice.

There weren't many opportunities to work with the Commander of the Elite Legion, and he wanted to know the difference between the other Commanders and Ding Kui.

Shaodian Bud seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and immediately replied: "I will try to eat the first legion and make the fifth and tenth legions a lone army behind enemy lines." ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Well, it coincides with the adult's thoughts, and I think this is the best way to deal with it." ”

......

After the 1st Division occupied Pingpei Town, it was ordered by Chen Yu to search and advance.

Searching for a forward is different from attacking for a scout in that it is necessary for the scouts to determine the enemy in front of them before continuing the march.

The scouts found that the remnants of the rebellious 18th Division had retreated into Fengluo City, and there were no other enemy troops nearby, so Yuhu ordered to set off and advance to Fengluo City.

The well-defended city is not comparable to a small town, and the rebellious 18th Division still has nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses, plus 10,000 improvised city defense troops.

The 1st Division built a barracks while besieging the city, waiting for support from the Chinese army.

The two armies have fought each other in recent days, and if they understand each other's strength, it will not be so easy to divide the victory and defeat in another battle.

Yuhu did not rush to capture Fengluo City, and took out siege equipment to consume the city defenses one by one, including the newly modified horn plow.

The horn plough was modified from the punch car, with the addition of horn plowshares, wheels, and frames, which could be powered by four war horses, and was most suitable for shoveling roadblocks.

This transformation was inspired by Ding Kui's iron pulley, and the technology developed by Mofu and Qingyang Zi has now entered the Ministry of Equipment and the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry respectively, and they have found suitable positions to show their strength.

The trebuchets used by the 1st Division were also different from the normal ones, with the addition of powerful animal tendons at the end of the tie rod, doubling the ejection power, and now the range was no shorter than the trebuchets on the city walls, and could be longer.

Even so, after a day of fierce fighting under the city of Fengluo, the 1st Division still did not attack the city wall or break the city gate, and the rebellious 18th Division took advantage of the city's defense advantage to draw with them.

At night, the staff officer of the division came to remind: "My lord, this place is not far from the rebel base camp, we should be careful that the enemy army comes to steal the camp at night." ”

Yu Hu pinched the paper in his hand and said, "It's been a whole day, and there is no news of reinforcements?"

"Lord Chen's order to the reinforcements is to arrive before dusk tomorrow, and it is not surprising that they will not come today. ”

"Well, withdraw to the scouts to the south, and leave only the dark sentries on the east and west sides. "Yuhu's order was contrary to the advice of the staff officer.

"Adult ......"

Yu Hu raised his hand to stop the staff officer: "Tonight, the patrol troops will be doubled, and all the officers and soldiers will sleep on their pillows." ”

Afterwards, he realized that his order was a word wrong.

The night sky was full of dark clouds, the originally sparse starlight was completely invisible, and it was pitch black outside the barracks, and the torches thrown by the night watchmen could only illuminate a radius of a few meters.

Yu Hu walked to his general's flag, looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind, and said: "Northeast wind, once it rains, the enemy army comes by stepping on the raindrops, then we can't hear or see it." ”

"Someone, get my gun. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of water hit his helmet.

The soldiers brought spears and rain gear, and half of the ground was covered with water spots.

"When is it, it's time to take a shower when it rains. Yu Hu held a spear in one hand and strode towards the front camp.

When they arrived at the front camp, the rain was getting heavier, and the night watchmen were busy adding rain covers to the braziers, and the sentries on the watchtower also moved torches under the canopy.

The barracks had a rainy night rule, and the well-trained 1st Division did not plunge the barracks into darkness, but the area that could be monitored outside the barracks was much narrower.

"My lord, please rest assured, my subordinates will never dare to relax. ”

A captain ran to Yuhu's side.

"Shhhh

He stared down at a puddle of water: "Umbrella come!" waved to the soldiers.

"It's not me, cover that!" he said, pushing aside his own soldier and pointing to the water.

The pro-soldiers woke up and covered the puddles on the ground with umbrellas.

"There is a tremor, pay attention!" Yu Hu suddenly shouted.

At this moment, a whistle was faintly heard in the distance.

Boom, and in the blink of an eye, a dense stream of arrows shot into the barracks.

"Enemy attack! Ring the gong!" Yu Hu turned his spear, and a shadow of a spear blocked in front of him, and a dark red fighting armor immediately lit up on his body.

The gong for the night siren can be sounded by anyone because it is convenient, and it can be relayed throughout the barracks to wake up the sleeping officers and soldiers.

If you are really afraid of something, the enemy who sneaks up may have been ambushed nearby for a long time, taking advantage of the rain to attack, or if you happen to be stepping on the raindrops, and its owner will have the ability to know astronomy.

Yuhu's luck was not too bad, and he found out that something was wrong before the enemy attacked, and alerted the soldiers who were keeping vigil in time.

The sentries outside the camp should have been more than lucky, but the sentries in the camp resisted the first wave of enemy sneak attacks, and only a few unlucky ghosts died under the arrows of powerful archers.

The soldiers were awakened by the sound of gongs, and hurriedly took out the armor under the pillow and tied themselves tightly. If Yuhu's order is to sleep in armor, it will shorten the reaction time of the soldiers and enter the defensive position earlier.

"Put the clapper board!" Yu Hu shot a few shots, cut a few ropes, and the nailed clapper fell on the camp wall, smashing into the head of the enemy under the corner.

More and more enemies appeared outside the camp, and the camp wall was quickly smashed into holes.

"Come on!" a strong man drilled out of the hole and rushed towards Yuhu Lake with an iron rod held high.

I saw two cold lights flashing, the iron rod was broken in two, and the strong man's neck sprayed ......

A pro-soldier armed with a double knife appeared in front of Yu Hu.

"Fourth, you stay here, I'll go to the camp gate. He patted his soldier on the back, then picked up his gun and ran.

As he ran, he shouted: "The three brigades organize the second line of defense! The four brigades keep an eye on the two wings!"

The open space in the camp began to gather a team of hundreds of men, and some sleeping troops turned into combat mode.

The battle at the south gate of the barracks was extremely fierce, the gate was already in tatters, and the two squadrons responsible for guarding the gate were mixed up with the enemy troops. If it weren't for Yuhu's order to double, I'm afraid that all the enemy troops standing near the camp gate would have been.

"Rush with me if you can move!" Yu Hu shouted as he fought his way into the chaotic battlefield.

Led by the division commander, the defenders counterattacked and regained control of the camp gate.

Boom, a dense rain of arrows shot again, mixed with Douqi blades and magic.

"Made! Move the board to the erection gate wall twenty meters behind the door!" Yuhu could only protect himself and the people nearby, and the soldiers who were slower with their hands and feet were hit by arrows and fell down one after another.

The enemy troops who attacked by surprise were prepared, and there were quite a few troops, and there were no less than 1,000 long-range attack troops outside the camp gate alone, and counting the troops that attacked the barracks with squadrons as units, at least one division and regiment started.

If you use the army formation to fight against Yuhu, you will not be so embarrassed, but the sneak attack is that you are not prepared.

The camp gate could not be defended, and Yuhu ordered to retreat to the second line of defense.

Five hundred heavily armored infantry formed a temporary gate with movable baffles behind the south gate of the barracks.

"Shoot the arrows!" came the voice of the divisional staff officer behind the countless fires.

Thousands of rockets flew into the air.

The staff officers organized the positions of the archers behind the second line of defense.

Yu Hutou shouted without looking back: "Good job!"

When your own archers appear, they don't have to be suppressed by the enemy's archers, they can organize defenses more calmly, and even launch counterattacks locally.

......

"It's raining. Xi Xiu wiped his helmet, "Order, the whole army set off!"
