I’m The King Chapter 750: : The sound of drums and horns is sharp (22)

The closed door of Xiaoshan Pass slid open silently. The horses were wrapped in cotton cloth and stepped on the ground without making a sound. Small wooden sticks.

There were not many cavalry at Xiaoshan Pass, and Hu Yanchao knew very well that the function of Xiaoshan Pass was to defend it. Here, he only deployed about 200 cavalry, just to have a mobile counterattack force during the defense. Just as Ye Zhong expected, Hu Yanchao was good at defense, but he didn't just stick to defense. Defending and attacking was what he was best at.

As his favorite general, Wu Bo chose to attack immediately tonight because the two sides had just experienced a day of fierce fighting.

The camp set up by the other party is only a few miles away from Xiaoshan Pass City. If you get out of the city gate, you can rush to the front of the camp in less than a stick of incense. During the day, Wu Bo has been carefully Observing the opponent's camp, the Zhengdong Army did not dig trenches, but simply erected wooden fences, and even the sentry towers have not yet been built.

With less than a thousand steps left from the opponent's camp, Wu He suddenly accelerated. Two hundred cavalrymen lowered their bodies and rushed forward following Wu He. Take a step and dash forward.

The opposing camp did not respond at all, only when the wooden fence collapsed in front of the spears and halberds, the camp seemed to become alert, drums and trumpets suddenly sounded, and Wuhe even saw panicked running figure.

He couldn't help sneering, it was done. Spit out the wooden stick in his mouth, and roared: "Kill the thief!"

Following his cry, the guards at Xiaoshan Pass who left the city all let out a cry.

Wu He took the lead and rushed to the opponent's camp which was a stone's throw away. His heart was filled with the joy of successfully attacking the camp, because until now, the opponent seemed to have not successfully organized a defense line, and it seemed that the so-called Eastern Zheng Army, which was victorious in all battles, was nothing more than that.

As soon as he thought of this, Wu He felt himself flying. The war horse under his crotch seemed to hit something, and fell down on the spot. With a bang, Wu He fell to the ground. As far as he could see, the cavalry behind him seemed to hit some invisible barrier one after another. They all fell off their horses. And those war horses all fell to the ground, twitching non-stop.

Woo Hyuk was stunned. The infantry who followed the cavalry were also stunned.

"There is a ghost!" As a general who fought on the battlefield, killing people without counting, this thought came to Wu He's mind. But there is no doubt that this raid has failed. No matter what tricks the opponent uses, it is by no means defenseless as I imagined.

In the big camp of the Eastern Expedition Army, the sound of the loud and clear bugle sounded, rockets were shot in the surrounding area, and piles of fires burst into flames. Behind the camp, hundreds of soldiers from the Eastern Expedition Army poured out, holding stringed crossbows in their hands.

"Let's go!" Wu He roared. He got up and ran back, just as he took a step, something blocked him with a bang. When he fell on all fours and lay on his back on the ground, he borrowed the light from the surrounding fire. He finally saw what it was. A thin rope was hanging in the air. He got up and reached out to touch the rope. The tentacles were cold. This was not an ordinary rope, it was made of iron. When Wu He pressed it with his hand, the iron rope hanging in the air just trembled.

Wuhe finally understands why the horses that rushed forward are now lying on the ground, and none of them can survive. When they charged, these iron ropes strangled them deeply body of.

Wu He got up, got through these iron ropes with a short body, and fled desperately without looking back.

No wonder they don’t dig trenches anymore, and the fences are so simple to build. They are digging traps for the Yan army, and they are expecting you to attack the camp. Such a thin wire hangs behind the fence, in the night, Can't see clearly at all.

On the dark closed wall, Wu Bo was also inexplicable. He was farther away, and he couldn't know what happened. He didn't know why the night attack had failed.

Looking at the soldiers fleeing back in embarrassment, his pupils shrank, his cavalry was gone, there were only dozens of horses left, and the rest were left behind by the opponent, how could it be possible?

"Raise the fire!" He sighed, this night attack was a complete defeat.

On the dark Xiaoshan Pass, suddenly the lights are brightly lit. Everything is ready to close the pass. If it succeeds, the brigade will rush out and drive the opponent back to the valley again. If it fails, they can also cover The soldiers who attacked the camp returned.

In the camp of the East Army, Chen Wei rushed to Ding Wei's tent, and shouted through the curtain: "Commander, those **** have escaped."

The sound of Ding Wei turning over came from the big tent, followed by an impatient voice, "Run away, run away, I was having a dream just now, and I was awakened by your ghostly howl again, you know I don't know, I haven't married my wife for half a year, and I was about to enter with a gun when I was disturbed by you, **** off."

Chen Wei was dumbfounded for a while, the fight was in full swing in the front, and the commander in the back was actually dreaming, he hesitated for a while, and then continued: "Commander, are you really not going after him?"

"Chasing your mother!" Ding Wei yelled loudly from the room, "If you chase after you, you will be able to take Xiaoshan Pass. That boy Wu Bo must have prepared countless feather arrows for you. You might as well chase after me!" Let the brothers sleep well and fight again tomorrow."

Hearing the sound of turning over and sitting up from the room, Chen Wei agreed and ran away in a hurry. He is not stupid, if Ding Wei got up and left the camp, his **** would bloom.

At the juncture of Xiaoshan Mountain, Wu Bo felt lost. Behind the fleeing soldiers, there was not a single soldier from the Eastern Conscript Army chasing him. Don't even bother to do such a chase?

This night, Zhengdong Army slept very soundly, but inside Xiaoshan Pass, it was sleepless all night.

While Ding Wei was sleeping soundly, Anlu County, Hejian County, thousands of miles away from Xiaoshan Pass, had just experienced a test of blood and fire.

Anlu guard Zeng Xianyi was covered in blood, and he was walking step by step on the dilapidated city wall. His feet were slippery on the ground, because the ground under his feet was soaked in blood. Although the soldiers were exhausted, they were still holding on to clean up the city. The enemy's corpses were mercilessly thrown into the city with muffled noises, while the corpses of their own comrades were carried down the city wall one by one. , there are special staff in the city to handle the remains, usually cremated on the spot, a living person, in a blink of an eye, there is only a small square box left, for Zeng Xianyi, this rule of the Eastern Army , he is not very used to it, he is more used to the traditional burial.

Maybe in the near future, I will also become such a small handful of ashes, and be put into such a small box. Seeing a familiar face being carried past him, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. This young man was one of his own soldiers, less than twenty years old.

There are 3,000 defenders in Anlu County, but not all of them are Zeng Xianyi's original subordinates. Since he surrendered to the Zhengdong Army, his 3,000 direct descendants have been disrupted and mixed up. He was a little worried before He will be emptied, but as time goes by, he finds that every order of his will be carried out unswervingly, so he is relieved.

Slowly, he became familiar with the military system of the Zhengdong Army. In the system of the Zhengdong Army, there is no such thing as his own direct lineage. , If another person came, they would be the same. To put it another way, if he was transferred to a completely unfamiliar army at this time and commanded the troops below, he would still not encounter problems.

This is probably the reason why the Eastern Conqueror Army is strong. An army will never have a sudden drop in combat power just because of the change of the chief officer.

He has been guarding Anlu for eight days, and his subordinates have suffered over a thousand casualties.

Anlu County does not have to be defended to the death. Zeng Xianyi received an order to hold on here for ten days, then retreat to Xinhui, and join Naha. Xinhui must defend at least half a month, and then Retreat to Luliang Mountains and continue to resist.

This order made Zeng Xianyi a little puzzled. The importance of Anlu's iron ore and copper mines to the Eastern Conquest Army is unquestionable, but why did they give up when there was still room left? Was it to lure the enemy to go deeper? , It’s not like, because the Central Group Army currently conscripting the Eastern Army is not strong enough, and the infantry and 6,000 cavalry are still in Dai County.

It's easy to give up Anlu, but it's not that easy to get it back. Zeng Xianyi felt that his side could consume the opponent with a strong city. There are several times as many Yan troops under the city of Anlu. If Naha defends Anlu with him instead of deploying defenses in Xinhui, it will make Kongde feel heartbroken and make him think about paying so much Is it worth the price to regain Anlu?

But an order is an order. Although Zeng Xianyi had doubts in his heart, he would not violate it. After two days of guarding, the whole army retreated to Xinhui, and Naha would arrange people to respond. During these ten days, Even if they transported away the raw iron already produced in the mining area, Zeng Xianyi even felt that if he wanted to give up Anlu, he would at least destroy the mine.

When he put forward this opinion to Ye Zhen before the war, Ye Zhen smiled and said: "Don't destroy it, keep it, we will come back in a short time, besides, destroy the mine , how do the tens of thousands of miners and their families here live? Whether they work for us or for Kongde, they can all get paid, right?"

This answer makes Zeng Xianyi feel a little weird.

It seems that the top leaders of the Zhengdong Army must be confident and confident that they will regain Anlu in a very short period of time, but at their own level, they are not qualified enough to know. (To be continued~IndoMTL.com ~
