The forest is so dense that there is almost no path to walk on.
If that's still a way to go.
In the past, some mountain people lived here and carved a road. Later, Yuan Jun occupied this place, and only Yuan Jun's scouts came to the back mountain to the north.
So this road has now become a passage for Yuan Jun's scouts to come and go. It is a road carved out of a sea of bushes and thorns. It is very difficult to walk up and down. Although the slope is not particularly steep, there are too many obstacles.
, you will get lost in the forest if you are not careful.
No wonder the guards at the back mountain are so lax. I guess the secret sentry also felt that no one would choose to go up the mountain from here.
It's a pity that Chen Mu is a person who likes to take the unconventional path. Just like many people think that attacking Chengdu from Yinping is an impossible task. If there are difficulties, you have to learn to overcome them. At least the difficulty at the moment is far more difficult than Deng Ai's smuggling.
Yinping is much simpler.
Under the leadership of the three generals, the soldiers began to climb the foothills again. They slowly climbed up along the trail. When they were still some distance away from the top of the mountain, Guan Ping followed Chen Mu's previous instructions and ordered the soldiers to rest where they were.
Although it is only a few hundred meters to climb two hills of about 100 feet, the physical exertion of climbing through thorns and thorns all the way is more than ten times greater than walking on flat ground.
Although the soldiers were all elites, they were all covered in armor and carried heavy loads as they marched forward. As a result, after climbing down the two mountains, every one of them was dripping with sweat and unable to fight.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, the soldiers set off again.
At this time, Chen Mu, who was far behind on the ridge, could no longer see them. The trees in the mountain forest blocked the sky and the sun. Even in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the grass and trees did not wither. It was just a transition between green and brown. It was not the middle of winter yet.
That scene where everything withered.
Chen Mu didn't panic, he just stood on the mountain ridge and looked around, protected by dozens of soldiers. The autumn wind rolled up his robe, and his long hair on the temples fluttered in the wind. There was silence in the distance, with three thousand people standing there.
Disappeared into the vast forest.
"Do you think that little doll can make it happen?"
Ju Yi was still wearing his mask. The original plan for the raid was for him to lead the team. After all, among so many generals, Guan Yu had to guard the camp, and generals such as Guan Hai, Wu Anguo, etc. also had to follow him to attack Linlu Valley.
Yes, only he is suitable.
But Guan Ping asked Chen Mu for a fight, and after thinking for a long time, Chen Mu agreed to him. This was also Guan Yu's idea. He believed that his son would not be able to become a big success if he followed him all the time. He had to train more to be able to stand on his own.
It happened that this mission was not particularly dangerous, because the main force of Yuan's army was attracted by Xu Huang in the direction of the valley entrance to the west, and there were not too many people left in the camp, so I simply let Guan Ping practice his skills.
"This battle is just a surprise attack. The main force of the enemy army has been attracted by Xu Huang. If we still can't win, then Ping'er will be ashamed of the four of us brothers."
Chen Mu smiled. This was a battle he had planned for nearly a month, and he was 100% sure of it. If he still lost, then Guan Ping would really be useless. However, historically, he had followed Guan Yu in Jingzhou for many years and defeated Cao Ren.
, the draw with Pang De and Xu Huang, he should be able to handle this trivial matter.
Ju Yi shook his head and said: "Fighting on the battlefield is no child's play. This kid has just grown up. Although he is full of energy, he is also inexperienced. If there is any mistake before the battle, the battle will be in vain. Aren't you afraid?"
"So what if he's afraid? So what if he's not afraid? Broken bones are the best lessons. Even if he fails, it can make him grow, which is a good thing, what do you think?"
Chen Mu raised his head and saw bursts of fighting sounds coming from the hills in the distance. This was not like Zhuge Liang at the street pavilion. If he failed once, he would think of other ways. At worst, he would use his ultimate move and set the mountain on fire while the autumn air was clear.
, it’s not a bad thing to give Guan Ping a chance to exercise.
Ju Yi said speechlessly: "You dote on your second brother's son."
"This is not doting."
Chen Mu shook his head: "Although Ping'er is still young, he is brave and good at fighting and has quite a lot of force. If he fights with puppets in the training ground all day long, what big things can he achieve? It's like an eagle that doesn't flap its wings and can never take off.
.The young carp does not wag its tail, so it can only drift with the tide. Only by tempering itself in the battlefield and fighting between life and death can one understand the strategy, right?"
Ju Yi nodded in agreement and said: "That's true. Throughout the ages, great generals have always taken the lead and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Wu Qi sucked gangrene, and Huo Qubing drank wine. Although he was sometimes extremely harsh on the soldiers, he also had clear rewards and punishments.
, so he was loved by the soldiers and was willing to follow them through life and death, wrapped in horse leather."
When it comes to strategy, none of the ten Ju Yi can compare to Chen Mu. But when it comes to military training, Ju Yi is naturally better. Travelers are not omnipotent, at least Chen Mu cannot share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, nor can he
He takes the lead, so he cannot become a frontline general and can only command from the rear.
The two of them stopped talking. On the hills in the distance, fierce fighting continued. The gongs and drums were blaring loudly. It was obvious that the defenders staying in the camp had discovered the enemies coming up from the back mountain. They hurriedly beat the gongs and drums, hoping to reach the front line in the west.
The soldiers came back.
At this moment, the battle on the mountain behind the Taniguchi camp had begun. The autumn mood was strong in the afternoon. The reason why Yuan Jun placed the camp here was because there was a small stream in the back mountain where he could draw water.
The number of Yuan's troops here is not large, only six to seven thousand, but they occupy important passes and have water sources and food reserves that can last for a year. That's why the attack is so difficult, and Houshan is their important water source.
There are always guards to prevent enemies from Linlu Valley from sneaking up the mountain and poisoning the water source.
When Guan Ping Guan Cheng and Wang Dan led the army up, because they were unaware of the situation, several sentries guarding near the water source discovered them and gave them an early warning. After the early warning, the defenders of the rear village hurriedly
We need to close the gate behind the camp.
The camp they built was still very dangerous. The fence alone was 2 feet, 46 meters high, and there were sharp spikes on it, so it was impossible to climb over it. Therefore, the gate of the camp was the only breakthrough.
Seeing that the enemy had discovered them and started to close the gate of the village, Guan Ping was so anxious that he rushed over with a strong step. His burly body came to the gate of the village like a cannonball. Almost at the moment when the gate of the village was about to close, he used the Qinglong Yanyue Sword template.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which was made like this, had already slashed down, and then with a backhand move, the blade faced the village gate, but it was stuck between the two doors, preventing the door from closing.
"Hurry up!"
"The enemy is coming. Where are the archers?"
"Knock the gong, knock the gong quickly!"
There were not many people left behind in the rear village, only two to three hundred people. Even if there were people left behind in the camp, most of them were in the front village.
When I saw a young man emerging from the dense forest in the back mountain, he blocked the gate of the village with a knife, and then countless soldiers came out of the dense forest behind. He immediately panicked and shouted for reinforcements.
This is also because the enemy attacked too quickly, giving them no time to react. If the soldiers guarding the water source had not warned them, they would not even know that the enemy was coming.
"Kill!"
"Go, go, go!"
"The young general is mighty."
When the soldiers saw Guan Ping blocking the gate of the village alone, their morale was greatly shaken and they rushed over to help.
At this time, there were no archers above the camp. The Luoyang army swarmed towards the gate of the camp. Since the door opened from the inside out, everyone thrust their weapons inward one by one to secure the gate first.
If it gets stuck, then stretch out your hand and try to pull it apart.
The soldiers who were rocking the roller on the village tried their best to close the village gate, but unfortunately the gate was stuck tightly and could not move.
Seeing that both sides were at a stalemate, Guan Cheng wisely took out a Molotov cocktail from his waist. After lighting it, he transformed into a heroic bombardier. With his feeling, he threw a hook upward in the direction of a mechanism that might remotely close the village gate.
.
Snapped!
The glass bottle fell above the stockade and landed just under the feet of the seven or eight soldiers who were shaking the wheel. The flames started to burn and burned their trouser legs. Suddenly they no longer cared about twisting the wheel, they slapped the flames and ran away.
.
Without the turntable device, the strength of the village gate was suddenly removed, and the gate opened instantly.
But then a large group of soldiers continued to pour in from the camp in front. Rows of soldiers emerged from behind the crenellations of the wooden village wall, unsheathing their bows and swords. There was an anxious sound of clanging iron armor leaves everywhere.
There were angry urgings, neat shouts, short and urgent orders and sharp police whistles.
The soldiers guarding the water source alerted the soldiers at the back gate of the camp, and the soldiers at the back gate of the camp immediately beat gongs and drums to let the soldiers in the front camp know that enemies were coming to the back camp and immediately came to reinforce them. At the same time, during the half-quarter of an hour of stalemate at the camp gate,
And gave them time to react.
Here, Guanping and the others had just opened the gate of the village, and they were faced with an unknown number of enemy reinforcements flying over. At this moment, on the mountain side to the west of the valley entrance, Xu Huang was still leading the soldiers to fight hard, and every step was very difficult and dangerous.
Because the valley entrance to the west is a heavily defended area for the enemy, there are not only a large number of fortifications, but also countless traps, pits, iron caltrops, etc., which are enough to make any offending enemy miserable.
So if you delay for one minute here, Xu Huang will be damaged a little more. Guan Ping was so anxious that he quickly organized his soldiers to charge into the camp.
However, the enemy's reinforcements were not slow. Around the gate of the village, more than 2,000 Yuan troops and more than 3,000 enemies launched a desperate struggle. Just because the gate of the village was very narrow, not many Luoyang troops actually poured in. The large troops were still there.
Outside the village, the two sides crowded together, and it suddenly turned into a real war of attrition.
Guan Ping took the lead and led hundreds of people to tear a hole in the camp road in the middle. However, before he could continue to expand his advantage, more enemies surrounded him and cut him off from his teammates at the camp gate behind him.
Opened the formation.
More Yuan Jun soldiers carried weapons in their hands and shouted, using the more than ten wooden ladders set up on the wall of the village. They rushed up like ants, first occupying the wall, and then condescendingly, using spears and bows and arrows.
To attack. In order to capture the wall, Guan Cheng and Wang Dan led several suicide squads to raid, swarming up the wall from the side, and fought desperately to prevent the enemy from continuing to occupy the commanding heights.
The roars, echoes, weapons blocking, and pitiful howls and groans on the wall almost never stopped. From the last moment of the afternoon to the second quarter of the day, for nearly half an hour, both sides were in that state.
The tactic of adding fuel to the fire as soon as the person at the front dies, and the people at the back immediately pick up the slack.
Whether it is the camp gate or the wall, both sides are being tested, and there is no end in sight to the fierce fighting.
A section of the wall less than a hundred feet long was spattered with the blood of soldiers from both sides. In many places, the tawny rammed soil was completely soaked with blood and turned into a dark red color. On the wall, cast iron helmets and flip-leaf hats were everywhere.
It can be seen that the bald tailed arrows and broken weapons were scattered all over the floor.
The corpses of soldiers from both sides who died in battle were piled randomly in the corners on both sides of the village wall. Some of the corpses had severed limbs and were kicked and trampled under people's feet before they could be moved. The battle was so intense that no one could spare the manpower to clean up the battlefield.
Guan Ping could no longer remember how many people he had killed, but he could only see that there were fewer and fewer teammates around him and more and more enemies, which made his mood sink to the bottom.
This battle should have been a sure win, but as one of the three leading generals, he and Guan Cheng Wang Dan both made the same mistake, that is, after solving the enemy's hidden sentry, they did not discover the village nearby in time.
There were actually people squatting by the creek to the northwest, causing the enemy to issue a timely warning.
The second mistake was not expecting that the enemy's reinforcements would arrive so quickly. He just led the army into the enemy's camp, but did not immediately occupy the commanding heights of the camp wall for defense, and let in a steady stream of teammates from behind, causing both sides to
There is still a stalemate at the village gate.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These two mistakes are destined to make Guan Ping regret his mistakes, which will be remembered for his whole life. However, he also has a bit of his father's style, realizing his mistakes in a short time
After that, he immediately scanned the battlefield situation, trying to find a weak point to attack.
Now the gate of the village has turned into a millstone of flesh and blood, and soldiers from both sides are entangled. Instead, because he rushed too far, he led dozens of remaining soldiers to the enemy's rear formation and was surrounded by the enemy.
Guan Ping glanced around, and suddenly noticed that there was a man who looked like an officer not far away directing the battle. His heart moved, and he jumped up. He actually jumped more than ten feet away. His momentum was like a rainbow, and his burly and strong body was like a
Like a cannonball, it hit a soldier who was about to attack him, knocking him to the ground. He reached down with his left hand, grabbed the man's throat, lifted him up with one hand, and strangled him to death.
Before he could take off the corpse in his hands, several bright sharp knives were slashed in front of him. The terrain here was too narrow, and behind the village was the enemy's camp. There were tents, low walls and various defensive walls everywhere.
Planting military facilities such as watchtowers and mounds of soil makes it seem like you are engaged in street fighting and cannot be used very well.
However, the small terrain also has small advantages. Guan Ping blocked with his sword, and then swept away the few soldiers who attacked him. His height of nearly 1.9 meters was the smallest among all the soldiers, and his strong body inherited his
His father's excellent genes allowed him to attack like a tiger among sheep. In just a moment, he came to the officer, and in his horrified eyes, he chopped him to death with one knife.
As soon as this officer died, many soldiers around him felt extremely frightened and retreated one after another. At this time, the remaining soldiers behind Guan Ping rushed in to protect him and continue to attack.
This camp was garrisoned by two of Yuan Shao's generals, Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng. There were also several military commanders in the army, and Guan Ping beheaded one of them.
Officers played a very important role in ancient wars, especially the lower class of soldiers. The lower-level officers had great control over the soldiers. If the officers were elite men, the soldiers would also be very brave. Once the officers suffered large-scale casualties, the cohesion of the soldiers would be reduced.
Very different.
Guan Ping found the key to victory, which was to kill a few more officers. Especially in this kind of chaotic battle, without the command of the lower-level officers, the soldiers would be at a loss like headless flies and would soon disperse.
"What are you doing? Kill him!"
After a military commander died, the surrounding soldiers under his command were terrified. A commander quickly took over the command, but the next second, he was shocked to find that Guan Ping was coming towards him.
"Those who surrender will avoid death!"
Guan Ping beheaded the music leader again. He was sweating profusely and panting, but he still roared high and furious.
The deaths of the two mid-level officers soon greatly weakened the cohesion of the soldiers in this area. Guan Cheng found an opportunity and led his soldiers to quickly fight a bloody path. A steady stream of Luoyang troops poured in behind him, and finally seized the gate of the village.
Come down.
But this time it was only half the success, because now only the two thousand Yuan troops who stayed behind came. Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng, who were fighting with Xu Huang at the mouth of the valley to the west, had already known the news and led the reinforcements back to the camp.
Guan Ping still took the lead, quickly repulsed Yuan's army here, and occupied Yuan's rear camp. At this time, Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng arrived belatedly, only to find that their rear camp had been occupied by the enemy.
All the defense facilities in the rear camp were now used as weapons to kill them. Even the bed crossbows in the rear baggage had been set up, which made them horrified.
At the same time, the pressure on Xu Huang's side was greatly reduced after the enemy retreated, and they immediately launched another attack and captured Yuan Jun's front stronghold. The two sides moved in tandem, and instead surrounded Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng's troops in their own middle camp.
Time went backwards and forwards and fell into a dilemma.
