Chapter 3299 The correct decision
『Enemy attack!Enemy attack!』
"On there!"
『Sulphur oil! Be careful of sulphur oil!』
『Go and put out the fire!』
The chaotic shouts suddenly rang out in the camp.
In the mountains, a large number of torches were also lit, shaking and clamoring, as if countless soldiers and horses were rushing towards the camp of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Guo Jia came out of the tent wearing a cloak, faced the night wind and climbed the whistle in the camp. He squinted his eyes and looked at the torches that suddenly rose in the mountains. He suddenly sneezes, and then he quickly ordered, "Come! Beat the drum!"
The rumbling sound of war drums sounded, covering up all the voices and echoing in the mountains.
The Cao army soldiers also restored order and calmness to the sound of the war drums, and arranged in an orderly manner to extinguish the fire that was shot in.
The Cao army soldiers poured the sand prepared in the camp on the burning tincture oil and quickly put out the tincture oil. Even if some wood and tent felt were ignited, they were pushed down by the Cao army soldiers, and the flames did not spread freely in the night wind.
"Sure enough." Sima Yi sneered on the mountain.
The Cao Jun camp where Guo Jia is located did not attack in panic, but instead made the most rigorous defensive posture.
The Cao army soldiers in the camp naturally would not be disturbed by Sima Yi's subordinates who were shouting wildly on the mountain. What's interesting is that when they saw other people doing things calmly, even if some people were still panic, they would quickly calm down...
If Sima Yi wanted to take the opportunity to attack the camp, he would be beaten by Guo Jia's defense.
Sima Yi stared at the firelight in Zhongtiaoshan camp and found that his original inference was correct.
Under the illumination of tinder oil, the movements of Cao's soldiers were also more obvious.
If the area where Sima Yi shot was a place to store grain, it might have threatened the food and grass issues of Cao's army, these Cao's soldiers would never be so calm...
Food and grass are easier to ignite than ordinary wood and tents.
Therefore, the answer is that either the area Sima Yi attacked was not a food and grass storage area, or the food and grass were hoarded underground and were not afraid of the burning of debris on the surface.
Sima Yi felt that the latter type was more likely. After all, Cao's army had a lot of people before, and in Zhongtiao Mountain, it was also considered to have entered the boundary of the loess high slope. The soil layer was dry and stable, so it was not difficult to dig some cellars to store grain and grass.
If this is the case, it will basically not work if you want to burn food and grass directly with the added raw yellow crossbow.
"I'm really very careful..." Sima Yi sneered.
"Would you continue shooting if you are engaged?" asked the soldiers beside Sima Yi.
Sima Yi turned around and went down the mountain, "No need, put it away. Prepare to transfer... Let's change the place..."
『Change a place? Go there?』
"Just go to the original ambush..." Sima Yi said with a smile, "By the way... the last person poured some tincture oil and burned the place!"
After a moment, the noise in the mountains stopped, but a mountain burned for no reason, and the flames soared into the sky, swaying in the night wind, reflecting half of the sky as if dawn had arrived early.
...
...
Lu Chang, who was marching towards the Tongguan camp in the mountains, received an alarm from the soldiers. When he looked back, he saw the fire that was red in half of the sky, and he suddenly shivered.
"If the military advisor expected!" Lu Chang shouted, "The thief wants to plot against Zhongtiaoshan camp! He sent an order, the back team will become the front team, the front team will become the back team, and return to the main camp quickly! Kill the thief!"
The Cao army soldiers shouted and turned around, rushed to Zhongtiaoshan camp.
The official road of Zhongtiao Mountain is relatively flat and open, but for this flatness and openness, it is necessary to wind up along the mountain, and it is impossible to go directly to Zhongtiao Mountain Camp in a straight line. Although Lu Chang and others received Guo Jia's advice, when they saw the firelight in the sky and were not clear about the situation in their camp, they would inevitably become a little anxious.
Normally, they came out of the Zhongtiaoshan Camp and encountered no problems along the way. Now that they walked back along the original road, they naturally would not think that the road back would be dangerous. In addition to their anxiety about the Zhongtiaoshan Camp, these Cao army soldiers walked relatively quickly.
As soon as you go, the team will be deformed.
The sword and shield hands, which were originally in queues on both sides, naturally did not have the weight to carry, but did not walk fast without the spearmen and archers in the middle. They set off in an emergency in the middle of the night, without eating a bite, and then walked back and forth on the mountain road, which was inevitable that the physical strength would decline.
Even with such a wide official road, it would not be very comfortable to rush back and forth. The soldiers of Cao's army couldn't help but feel panting, and the weapons in their hands began to turn into helping crutches...
There was a blazing fire on the mountain in the distance, and it seemed that a huge monster was roaring to the sky.
Countless birds and beasts were alarmed and screamed, and the scene of doomsday was a scene.
『Swoosh!』
An arrow flew over and shot the Cao army soldiers who were walking in the front to the ground.
"Ahhhh..." A scream rang out.
The soldiers of Cao's army subconsciously defended and avoided on the spot.
The falling torches flashed above the official road.
The mountain on one side of the mountain road is dark, and under the light and shadow, it seems like countless black shadows are hiding in it, shaking constantly.
'Enemy attack!' The soldiers of Cao's army shouted, 'There are archers! Where are the shields? Where are our shields?'
Only then did I remember the shield?
So just now, the shield soldiers were so tired that they almost vomited their tongues out like dogs. Why didn’t they say that someone would help?
『Swoosh!Swoosh!』
The arrows roared from the left and the right.
"Ahhhh! I'm hit by an arrow! Come and save me!"
The Cao army soldiers who were shot were either lying dying on the official road or struggling in pain.
"Run over!" Lu Chang shouted, "Don't stop!"
Almost instinctively, Lu Chang immediately urged Cao's soldiers to move forward instead of being congested on the mountain road!
Before Lu Chang's words could be finished, he saw a stream of light coming, staggering among the Cao army soldiers gathered in the mountain road!
Wood chips fly everywhere and tincture oil splashes!
『Ahhhhh…』
The Cao army soldiers stained with tinder oil howled, their voices much louder than those who had been shot before.
Many soldiers who were rushing around because of flames on their bodies turned dizzy, and some fell headlong into the mountains beside them, rolling down with long screams and dull collisions.
There are also some soldiers from Cao's army who instinctively asked for help from others around them, or they wanted to find someone to take care of them before they died. The flames were like close contacts and urgently spreading among the crowd!
"The chaotic army died!" Lu Chang slashed over a Cao army soldier who was on fire and ran around, "Run over! There is no danger to stop this path! Rush over!"
Lu Chang's judgment is undoubtedly correct.
The official road in Zhongtiao Mountain, which is winding along the mountain, does not look like a dangerous terrain that can be opened by tens of thousands of people. Instead of blocking the mountain road, it is better to rush over directly.
Lu Chang and the others had just walked through this mountain road before, and it was impossible to dig out any insurmountable gaps or traps in such a short time. Moreover, Lu Chang judged that this unit that attacked Cao's army was trying to intercept them to return to aid and slow down their speed, so as long as they rushed over, they could naturally break the interception of the Hussars.
Under Lu Chang's urging, the soldiers of Cao's army also shouted, leaving behind the injured or burned by flames, running forward frantically with arrows.
In the mountain road, because there is a slope, and at the beginning, Cao's army subconsciously shrank into a pile. Although between life and death, Cao's soldiers burst out their own potential, howling with all their might, pushing each other in the middle of the mountain road, some Cao's soldiers accidentally tripped or were pushed down, and dragged their long tail sounds into the mountain stream...
The arrows flying from time to time increased the panic of Cao's soldiers.
Under such circumstances, many Cao army soldiers showed their traditional skills and threw away all kinds of weapons and weapons on their backs. They immediately felt relaxed and happy when they reduced their burden. This relaxed and happy immediately educated other Cao army soldiers, so in the jingling, I don’t know how many weapons and armor were abandoned on the mountain road, and I only hoped for freedom and happiness and two blossoms, pursuing self-release nature!
Before dawn, the darkness seemed to be thicker.
Under the black sky, the blazing fire on the hill seemed to be a sign of something.
The soldiers of Cao's army, whether they were in the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, running on the mountain road, or in the Tongguan Camp that had finally settled down on the other side of the river, seemed to vaguely feel something.
When people are in the tide of the times, even the slowest guys can feel the influence of the invisible force sweeping and driving force. However, some people can ride the wind, while some people can only squat on the tree and be a talkative monkey. Some people feel something but can't say it. After a long period of precipitation, they turn into a sigh.
??????55.???????????
Thinking about the past...
I don’t know if Lu Chang could remember that this was the closest he had to Sima Yi after many years.
If he turned a corner in his mind and tried his best to rush up to the ridge where Sima Yi was ambushed, he would be able to capture Sima Yi...
However, Lu Chang was good at defending but not attacking.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been asked to come to Zhongtiaoshan Camp to assist Guo Jia in garrison, so his instinctive choice was to rush back as soon as possible, rather than staying in anger and fighting Sima Yi with a strong force.
After missing this choice point, he was getting further and further away from Sima Yi.
It's like two intersecting lines.
The fire was beating, and Lu Chang carried an injured soldier across the interception line and left the fire and casualties behind him. The mountain road stained with tinder oil emitted a dazzling fire, as if it was about to echo the wildfires not far away. Some corpses were swallowed by the flames, emitting a unique burnt smell produced by the human body after it was burned.
『Don't stop! Go forward! Go forward!
Lu Chang urged.
As he expected, the opponent could only intercept and shoot on a mountain road at a certain stage, and after passing that section of the mountain road, he would leave the opponent's attack range.
On the ridge opposite the mountain road, it seemed that I could not attack Lu Chang and the others, so I gradually became quiet. If it weren't for the smell of blood and howling around me, I might have thought it was just an illusion.
Looking at the scattered queue behind him and his panic face, Lu Chang sighed and placed the wounded soldiers on his body on the edge of the mountain road. "The injured patient bandages on the spot and tries! Leave a team of people to take care of him! The rest follow me to help the camp!"
He could not stay here and wait for the wounded to be treated, so his decision was still correct.
The camp is more important.
Lu Chang believed that his choice was correct.
...
...
Guo Jia, who had blown the cold wind twice in a row, felt his head swelling and his blood vessels twitching, and his skin and eyes felt a little swelling and painful. After drinking some hot soup, he was wrapped in a cloak and sweating a little, he suddenly received a message from the soldiers saying that Lu Chang was ambushed on the way back!
Guo Jia was stunned, and then suddenly realized, and immediately understood why the nameless fire suddenly ignited on the mountain before...
It turned out that when the thief saw that the Zhongtiaoshan camp was very cautious, he turned around to deal with Lu Chang!
etc.
Guo Jia pinched his head with his hands and thought with a headache.
He felt his head seemed to be stuffed into a handful of sand, making it not only difficult but also painful to rotate.
"Military Advisor..." The guard on the side saw this and couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Military Advisor, it's better to have a rest, this thief is just invading outside..."
"By the way!" After receiving the reminder of the guard Wuxin, Guo Jia finally thought of the key point, "Come here! He ordered General Lu to gather his troops and stand by outside the camp, and he was not allowed to enter the camp!"
Damn thief, so cunning!
Guo Jia stood up, but felt a little dizzy and his body shaking. If there was no guard beside him rushing to support him, he would almost fall to the ground.
"Military advisor!" The guard said anxiously, "Come..."
The guard was about to call the doctor or something, but was pulled by Guo Jia, "It's okay... It's okay! I'm here... You have taken a token, go and send the order! The thief must be after following General Lu! Go quickly, go!"
Guo Jia pushed the guards.
The guard had no choice but to ask Guo Jia to sit in the tent, and turned around and rushed to pass the order.
Because it is not the general military academy that is to be blocked, but it is equivalent to Guo Jia's deputy. The military commander of the entire camp, if he does not show Guo Jia's token and only conveys it verbally, it may not be implemented. It is obvious that it is impossible for formal documents or something to be taken at the moment, so it can only be personally escorted by Guo Jia's personal guard, with Guo Jia's token, and representing Guo Jia's identity...
『Close the camp gate!』Guo Jia's guard held up the ribbon representing Guo Jia, 『The military advisor has an order! Close the camp gate! The soldiers are repaired on the spot outside! No one is allowed to enter the camp!"
The soldiers at the camp gate were about to open the camp gate, but they were stunned when they heard the order.
After turning back and confirming, I did see the military advisor's ribbon raised high in the guard's hand, and then repeated the guard's order, "The military advisor has an order! Close the camp gate! The soldiers are outside, repair them on the spot!"
『Close the camp gate!』
『Place repair!』
"No one is allowed to enter!"
The soldiers at the camp gate conveyed orders, and the sounds came one after another.
『Tsk…』
The Hussars hid among the Lu Chang's army found that they could not survive. He let go of the arm of a Cao army soldier who had sprained ankle.
"Thank you..." The Cao army soldier didn't notice anything wrong, but was grateful to the "comrade-in-arms" around him who had come out at some time and supported him forward. "Thank you really! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to keep up..."
The elite scout of the cavalry showed a few big teeth, and while tugging on his body, he answered casually, "Nothing, it should be, it should be..."
"Oh, you are so enthusiastic, really..." The soldiers of Cao's army said with some emotion, and then halfway through, they saw the "comrade-in-arms" beside him take out a black spherical object from his body, "Hey? What are you?"
The scout of the cavalry showed a very honest smile, "A "little gift" to you..."
With the increasingly confused eyes of the Cao army soldiers spraining their ankle, the cavalry scout lit the grenade and threw it towards a place with a large number of Cao army soldiers in the distance.
The Cao army soldier who sprained his ankle opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but look at the "little gift"...
"boom!"
Just as a thunderbolt fell on the ground, the smoke and light and fire suddenly rising up, the human tissues stirred by the explosion waves were flying in the air and then falling down.
The Cao army soldiers who sprained their ankle suddenly stood unsteadily and fell to the ground. Then they found that the "comrades" who were supporting him had disappeared. They only heard someone's shrill shout, "The cavalry is here!"
"Cabin?!" The soldiers of Cao's army who sprained their ankle woke up and were extremely frightened, "Cabin! Cabin is here..."
"boom!"
Another explosion sounded on the other side.
The soldiers of Cao's army, who were already a little scared, were in chaos!
『Open the door! Let's go in!』
『Open the camp gate!』
"The cavalry is here! Run!"
"Heavenly Thunder!"
『Help! Open the door!』
The chaotic sounds staggered.
Some were shouted by elite scouts mixed in the queue, while others were shouted by Cao's soldiers themselves.
If a group of bisons line up and the horns are facing outward, the lions will have no choice but to take advantage of the bisons. However, once the bisons start to escape and each one is taking care of their own, even the jackals can come over and get a share of the pie.
The soldiers of Cao's army, who were already in shock, were blown up by grenades and screamed and subconsciously rushed towards the camp gate. After all, in their thoughts, as long as they entered the camp, it would be safe...
"The door cannot be opened!" Guo Jia's guard raised the military advisor's seal and repeated the order, "The door cannot be opened!"
"They rushed up!" The camp gate guard shouted anxiously, "What should I do? What should I do?"
"This..." Guo Jia's guard's sweat rolled down his head, and finally he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Those who bumped into the camp gate, kill!"
Arrows roared down and shot Cao's soldiers who were trying to rush into the camp at the gate of the camp.
The chaotic night has finally passed, and the late sun jumped out of the ridge and splashed the sunlight among the mountains.
Guo Jia endured the headache and physical discomfort and came out to clean up the mess.
The dust-filled Lu Chang came forward to apologize.
There were only a hundred people who were killed or injured in the cavalry attack last night, but the number of casualties caused by killing, trampling and pushing was nearly a thousand!
『Not now...』 Guo Jia forced himself to hold on, sweat beads rolling down his head, his face turned blue, 『It's not the time to apologize... The general gathered the queue as soon as possible to calm the morale of the army...』
Lu Chang also noticed something was wrong with Guo Jia, "Military advisor...you, this is..."
『Help me get into the tent..." Guo Jia grabbed Lu Chang's hand.
Lu Chang felt that Guo Jia's hands were hot, and he couldn't help but be shocked. He hurriedly helped Guo Jia into the tent with Guo Jia's guards.
As soon as he entered the tent, Guo Jia collapsed and before he was unconscious, he was still muttering, "You must...be strictly guard... contact your lord... remember... don't let the thieves... attack in the chaos..."
"Military advisor, military advisor!" When Lu Chang touched Guo Jia's forehead, his tentacles were extremely hot, and he was shocked, "Come on, please send me the doctor to come!"
