Baizishu, south of Muling Pass, went south through the Guanghuangdao, as if coming from the gourd's mouth to the gourd's belly. The terrain suddenly became clear. Looking up, there was a wide mountain basin in front of him, with yellow rice fields everywhere.

The terrain here is gentle and there are small rivers flowing. It is a suitable area for cultivation. It is said that this place was a pasture a long time ago, and it was later reclaimed into rice fields. Grass or seedlings can be called "玉", so the place is called "玉".

There is a Baizishu here, which just guards the pass of Guanghuangdao. After the enemy from the north breaks through Muling Pass, if he wants to continue to move south, he has to break through Baizishu again. As long as he takes this place, he can directly attack the Nandingzhou city on the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains.

The imperial army that went south to fight against the rebel Yuwen Liang and his son had already conquered Muling Pass before, but the defeated Muling Pass defenders fled to Baizhizhu and joined forces with the garrison troops, trying to resist stubbornly and block the court's troops from moving south.

However, the terrain of Baizishu is not as steep as Muling Pass. Since the Huangzhou army cannot even defend Muling Pass, how can it defend Baizishu's camp?

Cao Yunli, the general of the Shangkai Prefecture, thought so, and his subordinates thought so. They had attacked Muling Pass, which was guarded by the Huangzhou army, and now facing Bailiu, which had not been so dangerous, no one thought there would be any problem.

The official army divided into five groups to attack the five passes of Dabie Mountain at the same time, with more than a thousand troops in each route. However, the Huangzhou army, with empty troops, was unable to defend any pass. As a result, the soldiers were all in control, they could not defend any pass at all.

As long as the Huangzhou General Administration Office is invaded, the rice that just happened to be mature will become the food of the official army. In this way, the official army does not need to mobilize too much manpower and material resources to transport food and grass when it goes south, and can eat directly from the enemy.

Cao Yunli hadn't fought such a comfortable battle for a long time. Now the war is going well, so he is in a good mood. Today, he set up a formation to attack Bai Gao's garrison and sent someone to persuade Bai Gao's garrison to surrender.

Do not pursue the enemy. The Huangzhou army is in a desperate situation. He does not want to force people too much to reduce unnecessary losses from his side, so he does not miss the opportunity to persuade him to surrender.

The conditions are still the same, that is, surrender and not kill, and do not blame others. The situation is already very obvious. The Huangzhou army cannot defend the five passes, and the Huangzhou General Administration will sooner or later be pacified by the imperial army. So why do ordinary Huangzhou soldiers work hard for the one-legged bronze man?

King Yuwen of Xiyang was nicknamed "One-legged Bronze Man", and his reputation was spread to Yecheng. His prince has now succeeded to the throne as the new king.

Emperor Daxing ordered Yuwen Wen to be named King Zhu. In theory, this biological father, who is the son of today, has a very noble status, but for those who are in the knowledgeable, this is a cover and cannot be taken seriously.

Prime Minister Yuchi Dun will change his dynasty sooner or later, so the little emperor is just a transition. The father and son of Qi, King Yu and Wen Liang will be finished sooner or later. As for the new King Yu and Wen Wen, they should still be far away in Lingbiao, but they can escape the disaster.

However, his family could not escape. When the official army conquered Xiyang City, King Zhu's family would of course be escorted to Beijing. Today, Zi's younger brother might be able to survive. As for the others, the woman was confiscated as a slave, so a few little kids would not have to live.

There is no cruelty or cruel statement when success or defeating the enemy. If the grass is cut, the women on the failure side are all trophies to reward those who have made contributions. For hundreds of years, all of them are like this. Not to mention the change of dynasties, even the power in the court is overwhelming, the outcome of the loser is the same.

Cao Yunli did not want to be a loser, nor did he want to be a loser under power, so he had to make more military achievements and be qualified to be valued by the superiors. The Bailuo Shu in front of him was just an insignificant stumbling block on the road to wealth.

After a while, the people who went to Bai Zishu to persuade the surrender came back to report. Because the road between the two armies was very muddy, they took a long time, and what they brought back was naturally bad news.

Faced with persuading surrender, the defenders simply refused. Cao Yunli sneered and immediately ordered an attack.

The Baizi Guards had destroyed the road north of the camp and dug up the ridges on both sides of the road to divert water to turn the road into muddy. This move did have some effect, turning the good road into muddy swamps.

It is naturally impossible to run a horse. It is very inconvenient to walk on it, but the ground damaged in a hurry is far from the real swamp, so for the ready-made army, it is just a tickling through the boots.

They were not afraid of the serious moats and trenches, and naturally they would not be blocked by the mud. As the horn sounded, the soldiers pushed the catapults forward to the cannon position, and more soldiers carried the prepared thatch on their backs and paved the ground while advancing towards Baizizhu.

Grain seedlings and thatch can be called "六". Since the opposite side is Bai Zishu, it is very appropriate to use the 六文 to pave a road directly to Bai Zishu. With a distance of two or three hundred steps, thousands of people pave the road with thatch, and it will not take long to reach outside the village wall.

Then let the pointed wooden donkey pretending to be thundering and approach the village wall and make a "rumble". Even white and black shu will be done.

The catapults of both offense and defense were shooting continuously, while the attacking side gradually approached Bai Zishu. When the distance was only fifty or sixty steps, a large number of archers shot against the archers in the camp under the cover of the big shield.

Many pointed wooden donkeys slowly approached the village wall under the push of the soldiers.

Somehow, the Huangzhou army in the camp did not use thunder to prevent the pointed-headed wooden donkey from approaching. Just as the pointed-headed wooden donkeys passed through the front line of their archers and continued to approach the village wall, a harsh whistling suddenly sounded in the camp.

After a while, the soldiers of the attacking party distributed in the vast muddy area of ​​Baizi Shu suddenly twitched, their arms were dancing and their bodies twisted, as if they were dancing, and they had an inexplicable carnival.

This is true in front and behind. All people in muddy places dance, or in other words, everyone's epilepsy is in trouble.

......

In the south of Baisha Pass, the imperial army broke through the Huangzhou military camp and chased the defeated soldiers for several miles. After chasing them, they fell into an ambush circle.

Several snake-shaped barbed wires crossed the road like big anacondas, becoming an insurmountable obstacle for pursuers. The Huangzhou crossbowmen who were already ready appeared in the mountains and forests on the left and right of the road, shooting and killing the pursuers who were trapped in ambush.

The crossbowmen who were ambushing the left and right sides also pulled a snake-shaped barbed wire, and they were eager to cut it off with a knife, and the pursuers were blocked from the barbed wire and could not move forward.

Some people were hung up by barbed wire and could not move. They watched the crossbowmen in front of them aim at themselves and then shot arrows; some cavalrymen tried to rush through this strange rope, but could not rush at all.

The ambushers on both sides also threw out thunders, which were mixed with strange objects. The objects were like long strings of grapes. After they fell to the ground, the "grapes" hung there kept exploding. There were fires everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder made the horses flee everywhere, and the pursuit team was in chaos.

The narrow mountain road that stretched for several miles was full of explosions, and smoke covered the valley, and pursuers were rushing over. In the original Huangzhou military camp, the command of General Xie Xu of Kaifu immediately deployed defenses.

Looking at the valley filled with smoke in front of him, he felt a little distressed. After the Huangzhou army retreated, he sent troops to chase the dog and wanted to beat the dog in the water. Unexpectedly, he was actually bitten by the dog in the water.

The military strategy says: Do not pursue the enemy, but this is still a matter of fact. When the two armies fight, the casualties are not high when the two sides set up military formations to fight. When one side is defeated and the other side pursues, the casualties are the most serious.

Taking infantry and cavalry confrontation as an example, infantry formed formations and fought against cavalry, and the number of casualties was not very large. Only when the military formation collapsed and the infantry turned around and fled, the cavalry could kill all the way, and they could kill people.

Xie Xu hopes to give the Huangzhou army a large amount of killing and injury as much as possible, so as not to be lucky enough to resist stubbornly in the future. Therefore, when he is worried that the other party will have ambush, he still takes the risk of sending troops to pursue him.

When the pursuers attacked, he repeatedly told him to be careful, but he still encountered a consolation.

The chasing troops may suffer heavy casualties. So for Xie Xu, the most urgent task is to quickly occupy the original camp of the Huangzhou Army, so as not to stop the opponent's counterattack, and just like when he first broke through Baisha Pass, he was repelled by the opponent.

This time, the five official troops went south and if their performance was not satisfactory, it would be easy to appear incompetent against the other four troops. Xie Xu did not want good things to turn bad things, so he could only use this camp as a new stronghold and take every step of the camp.

After all, he kept attacking south and defeating the enemy several times in a row, right?

Although the Huangzhou Army's camp was blown by the thunder of the government army, the general outline was still there. The walls on the north were broken, while the walls on the south were roughly intact. Therefore, as long as they were repaired, they could be used as a new garrison camp.

It was afternoon, and the main forces of the government army had gathered here. They worked with the young and middle-aged army to build camp tents and repair camp yards to see the progress can be completed before sunset. As for the broken Baisha Pass behind them, the local officials will find a way to repair it in the future.

On the east side of the camp, more than ten soldiers were digging a hole in the woods. When the shovel suddenly encountered something. After pulling it for a while, they found that there was a wooden board buried in the ground and lifted it open, but found a very thick line inside, which seemed to extend from the camp to the east.

At first glance, it looked like a hemp rope thicker than a finger. When you touch it, you can find that it was a lacquered rope. Everyone had not figured out what the purpose of this thing was, but the ground trembled.

A loud noise came from his ears, and then there was silence. They felt something running upwards in the ground, and then broke out of the ground in an instant. Everyone was thrown into the sky, rolling constantly like fallen leaves in the wind.

Amid the loud noises one after another, the camp disappeared into a thick mushroom-like black cloud, and countless broken limbs and arms spilled around. When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, a shallow pit appeared in the camp, with blood and blood everywhere.

The army occupying the camp has disappeared in shallow pits and surrounding ruins. Many soldiers, not far from the explosion site, were hit by the stones splashing everywhere, and some were bleeded by the mouth and nose. The survivors were shocked by the tragic scene in front of them, and they were stunned.

On the hillside on the east side of the camp, several people looked at the mushroom cloud in front of them with lingering fear. In front of them was a special "detonator" and there were several heavy wooden barrels next to them, which were "original batteries".

In addition to creating a man-eating monster - a hydroelectric generator, the workshop in the King of Xiyang Mansion also developed a magical electric detonator. Through the original battery and long wires, it can detonate the powder barrel buried underground several miles away.

The detonation success rate is more than 99%, so many new tactics can be implemented based on this. The only problem is that the wires are expensive and must be buried underground when laying, so as not to be discovered.

Just now, my observation hand passed through the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and found that the enemy troops in the camp seemed to have discovered the wires buried in the ground, so I quickly detonated a large number of gunpowder barrels buried underground through the "detonator".

Although the time is still a little short, most of the enemy's main forces have entered the camp, so this shot is really a soul-stirring.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the sound of horns came from the south. It was the time when the Huangzhou army, which had defrauded the defeat and lured the enemy and the ambushed, came toward Baisha Pass. The enemy army, which had originally had more troops than it, was "rumbling", so it was the time to beat the dogs in the water.

The enemy troops attacking Baisha Pass were coming in full force and were about to be destroyed at this moment. However, for the people in the Xiyang Palace, the most important thing is another matter.

"It's important to recycle the wires!"

......

In the loess valley in the south of the Loess Pass, a broken camp was filled with joy. The imperial army heading south to fight against rebellion had already captured the camp. Seeing the defenders fleeing south in a mess, Shi Xun, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, did not order a pursuit.

Don’t chase the enemy, saying that you should not pursue the enemy who has no way out, so as not to rush to resist the opponent in a hurry and increase your own losses in vain. Shi Xun knew this, but the reason why he did not order the pursuit was because he saw that the opponent was acting.

The Huangzhou army could not defend the camp, so they simply defrauded themselves of defeat to lure the official army to pursue him. Shi Xun had been through the battle formation for a long time, and just observed it and found that the escape of these defeated soldiers was orderly in chaos, and they did not seem to be scrambling to escape.

I thought the other party had an ambush in front of him, and was waiting for them to chase him and die. Shi Xun was not that stupid. Now he was sure to win, so there was no need to risk chasing him to expand the results of the battle.

The defenders of the Loess Pass abandoned the pass and fled to this Loess Pass to set up a village to try to defend it. As a result, they were not tenable and could only continue to run south. The other party knew that they were not good enough and wanted to play with the dark side, which means that they were not strong enough and could not resist head-on.

So he only needs to do everything step by step. The government army advances side by side, which is not something that the Huangzhou army with shortage of troops can resist. Shi Xun feels that he doesn't need to be in a hurry. If he accidentally gets bitten by a mad dog, it will be embarrassing.

The war ended today. The Huangzhou Army camp was used as the advance camp and soldiers were arranged to guard against night attacks, and then continue to march south. It was only 30 miles away from the Nandingzhou Prefecture Zhimeng Cang. Shi Xun believed that the other party was powerless to stop the five imperial troops from moving south.

However, the more you are at this time, the more you have to keep your breath. Once the other party is anxious, anyone who is not careful will be bitten. Therefore, although Shi Xun wants to make the first contribution, he is extremely calm.

Walking down the wall of the village, Shi Xun walked north and wanted to go back to his original camp to rest. As the commander of the first army, he didn't need to arrange such trivial matters as setting up camps. The camp here is now in a mess, so there is no need to stay here.

At the north gate of the camp where the camp was destroyed, Shi Xun looked at the soldiers who were constantly entering the camp and told the accompanying generals a few words. He rode his horse and was about to move north, but suddenly he felt his mount trembling and was about to pull the reins, but he heard a dull sound coming from his ears.

The sound came from the ground, and the loud sound made him deaf instantly. While the surroundings were silent, he felt like he was knocked away by a huge force. In a trance, he saw that the camp was covered by a burst of black smoke.

Shi Xun, who fell to the ground and rolled a few more times, lost consciousness below his waist. He lay weakly on the ground, looking at the mess everywhere, and watching a huge mushroom-shaped black cloud appearing above the camp.

The broken limbs and broken arms, and the gravel wood chips were everywhere. Before Shi Xun lost consciousness, he only wanted to know one thing: he actually buried thunder in the ground of his camp. How did you detonate it?
