Bai Xiaowen led the Youzhou Army, which marched for a whole day, fought for hundreds of miles, defeated the enemy nine times, and killed fifteen enemy generals.

Although Bai Xiaowen and other awakened people still have the strength to fight again, most of the Youzhou army is already tired, especially the emperor Luan Jia and the accompanying officials, most of whom are complaining endlessly.

According to common sense, you need to rest where you are after dark and wait until dawn to start again.

However, Bai Xiaowen ordered that the entire army could only rest for one hour.

Bai Xiaowen also considered this one hour of rest time.

First of all, although the Youzhou Army went through nine battles, they only faced weak armies of one or two thousand men. They achieved crushing victories and the fighting intensity was very low.

Secondly, the march of the Youzhou Army was based on Meng De's new book - The Speedy Strategy of Soldiers, which reduced physical consumption by 50%! In addition, in order to take care of the speed of the emperor's chariots and hundreds of officials' chariots and horses, the soldiers did not march very fast, and their physical fitness

Consumption is very little.

Coupled with the Youzhou Army's own physical recovery, it can be said that the physical exertion is not large.

The reason why I feel tired is because I am mentally exhausted and need sleep.

However, the Youzhou Army had won nine consecutive victories with very few casualties, and its morale had been on the rise. Even the exhaustion of the march did not lower morale much.

Under such circumstances, Bai Xiaowen dared to issue such a strict order that "you can only rest for an hour" without worrying about the soldiers mutinying and collapsing.

As for the emperor and the officials, they were probably tired from riding in the carriages and their buttocks were numb. Naturally, Bai Xiaowen would not care.

An hour later, Bai Xiaowen ordered the entire army to light torches and travel at night.

The team, which had only slept for an hour, were a little sleepy at first, but after walking for a while they became energetic again.

As for whether he would be ambushed by the enemy while walking at night, Bai Xiaowen said that with his large-scale psychic sensing and antenna-type search, there was no need to worry.

After walking like this for most of the night, at dawn, the Youzhou Army finally arrived at the ferry north of Mengjin and saw the Sizhou Army in a mess, busy digging trenches and setting up camp overnight.

In the dark night, I could only use the light of the brazier and torches in the temporary camp opposite to check. I couldn't see how many people there were at the moment, I could only feel the shadows of people.

Dong Zhao said with some admiration: "Young Master marched so fast that the Sizhou Army had not yet had time to set up camp. If we wait until after noon tomorrow and the enemy's camp is completed and we want to attack again, the difficulty will be at least doubled! Taking this opportunity to attack, the Sizhou Army

But it can be defeated in one blow.”

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes, first called Cecilia to give some instructions, and the latter took the order and left.

Bai Xiaowen then directly ordered that the Youzhou Army's 20,000 troops were divided into four teams and attacked the Sizhou Army's temporary camp.

With the sound of a gong, Sizhou's army scattered and fled in disarray, without any fighting spirit.

The Youzhou army took advantage of the situation and moved forward to seize the ferry.

Bai Xiaowen explored the ice of the Yellow River.

The ice layer is not too thick, but it is still no problem to carry the army across the river.

Bai Xiaowen rode Fury Claw and walked at the front. An army of 20,000 people escorted the Emperor Luanjia and hundreds of officials' chariots and horses, forming a long line with ten people abreast and meandering forward.

This ferry is a place where the Yellow River is narrow and the river bed is gentle, so it is most suitable for large armies to cross.

However, when Bai Xiaowen and the Youzhou army were about to reach the other side, they heard a bang. On the opposite bank, a black army lined up in a line, with arrows raining down!

From time to time, Youzhou troops were hit by arrows and screamed in agony.

Where the torches were lit on the other side, a military general with his helmet pierced through his armor showed off his power and mocked loudly: "My son Yuan, you have fallen into a trap!"

"Put up a shield."

Bai Xiaowen's voice was calm, and spread with the blessing of mental power. He had already prepared, and set up a long line, and the one at the front was the sword and shield player, standing at the front with the shield up, blocking the rain of arrows.

Bai Xiaowen threw insights at the general.

A third-rate general, considered a basically qualified leader, named Yan Ming.

"Zhong Yao is really wise. After receiving Cao Cao's order, he should have started to assemble Sizhou troops and set up an ambush on the north bank of the Yellow River! His purpose was not to prevent me from crossing the Yellow River, but to wait for us to cross the river halfway and launch an ambush. As for

The soldiers building the stronghold on the south bank are just a cover-up."

Fortunately, these are all within the range of Bai Xiaowen's mental induction.

Bai Xiaowen rode the Fury Claw, risked his own arrows and rushed forward, and was the first to step onto the dry riverbed on the other side. In the cold cave sky, the exposed riverbed mud was frozen solid.

Bai Xiaowen immediately launched a large-scale deterrent and issued an order at the same time, and the Youzhou army rushed forward!

After giving the order, the Youzhou army immediately sped up and rushed towards the north bank like a long snake awakening.

However, at this time, a sudden change occurred.

In the middle section of the Yellow River, on the frozen surface, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded! The momentum of this explosion was almost stronger than the high-explosive bombs of modern warfare, and it was accompanied by rising flames.

Bai Xiaowen's insight received information that this was a special thunder and fire array temporarily used by the Sizhou Army!

It's actually black powder.

In terms of advanced level, black powder is more than one level behind modern explosives. However, these thunder and fire formations are the fusion of Taoist magic from the Three Kingdoms planes, making them more powerful and powerful.

Of course this is just an official explanation.

The real reason is that the power of items in the spiritual world has nothing to do with the "advanced level of technology" and is only related to the intensity of the psychic particles contained.

The psychic particles contained in it are of high strength, and the attack power of wooden swords and bone spears is far greater than that of steel weapons.

The strength of psychic particles is directly related to the difficulty of the plane.

Bai Xiaowen frowned.

Although the power of this thunder and fire formation is not weak, the area affected by each one is only ten meters in radius. There are six explosions in total. It is not a serious blow to the entire Youzhou army.

Moreover, due to the freezing cold of the Yellow River, it was not suitable for the thunder and fire array to be used. Many soldiers were injured but did not die. Only a few unlucky soldiers at the center of the explosion were directly killed, and only dozens of people were killed in total.

However, when Zhong Yao laid the thunder and fire array, he did not intend to rely on these thunder and fire to destroy the Youzhou Army.

Blow up the ice on the Yellow River!

The ice layer was not thick to begin with, and could only support the weight of a human body crossing the river. At this moment, it was bombarded by violent thunder and fire, and large chunks of ice broke apart, eventually forming an ice-breaking area with a diameter of several hundred meters!

Thousands of Youzhou soldiers, together with the carriages and horses approaching ten imperial officials, fell into the cold river.

Subsequently, the cracks in the ice continued to expand! The Youzhou Army was divided into two sections, just like a snake being cut in two, with the head and tail unable to look at each other.

"Calm down!"

Bai Xiaowen's deterrence - mental force field maintained the output of mental power and controlled the enemy from allowing the archery team to continue harassing, so as not to cause greater panic. At the same time, he said loudly, "Protect the emperor Luan Jia! Jiao touches Zhang Nan and leads me to the headquarters."

Men and horses, go around the ice cave from the left and right and land to support!"

Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan hurriedly agreed.

Suddenly, a dull drum beat sounded.

Along with this drum sound, there seemed to be a dazzling white light, like thunder and lightning, flashing and disappearing!

Bai Xiaowen groaned, and his mental force field was forced to end prematurely.

Spiritual world rules prompt information:

"Chun Yu, the general of Zhong Yao's army, sounded the drum."

"You have been affected by the concussion effect of the drum, and the special effect of the deterrent skill: the mental force field is interrupted!"

Bai Xiaowen's expression finally changed.

When mental detection revealed that there was an enemy ambush on the north bank, Bai Xiaowen also ordered the Youzhou Army to forcibly cross the river. A major factor he relied on was his deterrence!

In the Three Kingdoms plane, on medium-sized or smaller battlefields, intimidation is a magical skill that can make enemies in a large area become living targets, allowing them to be slaughtered for at least one minute.

Although this minute of fighting was inconspicuous in the entire battle, if the soldiers under his command were to attack them, they would be able to kill at most 800 enemies.

However, the main function of deterrence is to disrupt the enemy's formation! Once the enemy's formation is disrupted, defeat is not far away.

When encountering a surprise attack, deterrence can also serve to deter the enemy and leave room for friendly forces to regroup.

It is no exaggeration to call it a magical skill!

However, Bai Xiaowen's mental force field, which had been tried and tested many times, was actually broken by a drum.

"I still underestimate the aboriginal army in the Three Kingdoms plane!"

Bai Xiaowen reflected on himself.

Zhong Yao must have understood Bai Xiaowen's combat characteristics and knew that there is a powerful "Tao technique" that can be controlled for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have prepared a prop like the drum in advance!

In the past, the aboriginal army probably didn't know the details of Bai Xiaowen, so they were often succeeded by him, but in the future, it will not be so easy to take advantage of him with his mental force field.

The only good news is that the cooldown time of Bai Xiaowen's deterrent is not long, only a few minutes. Even though the drum interrupts his continuous mental output, it still retains his mental power! When the cooldown of the deterrent improves, it can be effective again.

I don't know how rare the drum is... It would be very troublesome if I could keep beating it.

Soon, Zhong Yao's army on the north bank of the Yellow River recovered from its dizzy state and once again drew its bow and arrows to harass the Youzhou army and create greater chaos.

In the dark night, there are ice caves and rain of arrows, which can easily cause the Youzhou army to retreat and retreat to the south bank.

After all this back and forth, the casualties of the soldiers were still secondary, and the delay was really fatal!

Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen also had other preparations.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, several miles away, in another narrow place on the river bed, a group of cavalry successfully landed. It was the winged cavalry led by Cecilia!

When the Youzhou army crossed the river, it seemed that they were ambushed by Zhong Yao's army and were in a state of panic, but was this not just a cover-up?
