If you hold the ground, no matter how dangerous the pass fortress is, it is impossible to do everything and the water will not be penetrable.

The reason why Yongqiu is difficult to attack is not just that Pize blocks the march, but the use of terrain by the rebel army can be said to have reached an extreme. The simple Pize block only exists on the south side of Yongqiu, and on the north side, it is a defensive method of choosing a group of camps.

The camps themselves were very rudimentary, not fortified forts, and if the fences and dams had existed alone, they would have had little defensive effect, and a large number of villagers lived in them, although there were also some barracks to maintain order in this wide area of more than ten miles. The distance between the walls of the camp is nearly one or twenty zhang, and the length is only a few miles, and it is full of many irregularly shaped cultivated land, and there are still wheat stubble left after wheat mowing, as well as soybean seedlings that have sprouted out of the ground.

The camp itself is not a hindrance, but when it is continuously connected, coupled with the unarmed villagers in the camp and the thatched huts they live in, these elements add up to form a line of defense mixed with earth and rock.

If the brigade wants to break through, it must drive away the villagers, demolish the houses, and deal with the enemy troops that may rush out at any time, which is very difficult to break through. Even if they broke through this defensive line that was more than ten miles thick, the attacking army had already become a tired division, and they were greeted by the elite troops of the chaotic army who were well organized and waiting for work, and the victory was slim.

In the afternoon, Tian Jing, who was temporarily stationed in the south of Chenliu's old city, received an order to launch an attack, and then immediately counted 2,000 soldiers, and marched to Yongqiu, due south, with 1,000 heavy armor as the follow-up. During this period of time, he also had a general understanding of the situation around Yongqiu and understood what kind of opponent he was facing. Therefore, this attack did not carry heavy siege equipment, and even heavy ordnance such as armor lances were not carried, but the army carried nearly 100 mayfly light vehicles, which were full of bows and crossbows.

The mayfly light car is a special equipment created by the Huainan Army for the complex terrain near Yongqiu, this car can be pushed on flat ground, and when it reaches the muddy tidal flats, the wheels can be disassembled and dragged forward with the bark and weeds wrapped in an elliptical lower wheel, and when it reaches the shallow area where the water is obvious, the wings can be spread and used as a raft to row forward. If an enemy attack is encountered on the way, the two wings can be removed and stacked as a simple shield wall for defense.

In the past period, Tian Jing's front-line army supplemented supplies, mainly relying on this kind of multi-purpose light vehicle to transport, avoiding the cumbersome replacement of vehicles. Of course, this kind of car structure is not lacking in exquisiteness, the biggest problem is that it is not durable, only suitable for short-distance transportation, the load is not high, and the frame is abandoned after a hundred miles back and forth. However, the bamboo and wood materials used in the frame itself are all ordinary, and the axles are a little more elaborate in the materials, which can also be recycled, so the cost is not too high.

The 2,000 men were lightly armed, and all the weapons were loaded on light carts, and even if there were rough and muddy roads on the way, it was difficult to stop the march. After advancing for nearly two hours, the camps of the rebel army were still in sight.

At this time, there was no shortage of villagers working around the camp, and they naturally found the Huainan army in the wilderness, and let out a roar that was almost mournful, regardless of men, women, and children, they all flew back to the camp, and closed the wall tightly, and a large amount of debris was piled up behind the fence and earthen dam, in order to stop the army from attacking.

On the whole, these villagers were not too nervous, and the Huainan army had also traveled here when they withdrew from Yongqiu, as long as they did not reveal their intention to attack the Huainan army, the Huainan army did not attack them, but only destroyed some walled walls and barricades. This made the villagers a little dissatisfied, because it increased their burden of labor, and afterwards they worked day and night for several days to repair the damaged fortifications.

The Huainan army attacked this time, maintaining the advance of the phalanx, and did not disband the formation even when it reached the farmland, and inevitably trampled and destroyed the seedlings that were growing just right in the field. When the villagers saw this scene, there was no lack of sorrow and roaring, you must know that these seedlings are their life rations, not only to feed the old and young, but also to supply the army, if it is insufficient, then scolding and scolding, heavy responsibility to be expelled from the country, then there is really no way to live!

"These dog thieves, who were chased and killed by Chen Gong's army and fled when they invaded the territory earlier, dare to come this time, but they can't beat Chen Gongxiong's army, so they come to kill the villagers, they really deserve to die!"

Seeing that the farmland to which his hard work and livelihood depended was trampled by the army, the villagers in the camp couldn't help but scold. These people only knew Fang Yuan, Chen Guang and the other generals in the chaotic army were above their heads, and they didn't even know where the attackers came from. Although the military looks more powerful than Chen Guang's troops, the villagers are not familiar with military affairs, and only judge heroes by success or failure, and do not feel how great the other party is, otherwise they will not be beaten by Chen Gong and flee and retreat.

Although the villagers were emotional, they could not stop the advance of the Huainan army. Soon, the Huainan army reached a distance of less than ten zhang from the edge of these camps, and even the outermost camps could see each other's expressions clearly through the wall. At this time, there were naturally signs of troop mobilization in the camp, and the soldiers in several barracks gathered together, and under the leadership of the commander of the soldiers, they watched the movements of the Huainan Army nervously, but they did not rush to the front line to prepare the camp.

At this time, the Huainan army also stopped, and the five hundred soldiers on the front line continued to march forward in formation with swords and shields in hand. The people in the camp at the front of the camp were even more frightened when they saw this, and fled to their houses with their doors closed, as if this would keep the catastrophe out of the way.

"Don't kill when you get out of the village!"

Tian Jing marched forward from the Chinese army, and at this time, the soldiers of the Huainan army had already prepared their bows and arrows, waiting for the order. The short sound of the military drum sounded, accompanied by the shouting of the Huainan army, which made the surrounding villagers even more frightened, and some people couldn't help but jump off the village and rush backwards, but there were more people squatting behind the bunker with their heads in their hands, shouting and screaming in their mouths, begging Chen Gong to lead the army to rescue.

After Tian Jingxing reached the sword and shield battle line, the sound of the military drum stopped abruptly, but in front of the Huainan army, there were still 100 people staying in this camp. Tian Jing's lips pursed slightly, his Adam's apple trembled, and he was silent for about ten breaths before he suddenly bit his teeth and shouted violently: "Release the arrow!" ”

Boom, boom, tuk tuk tuk ......

As if a torrential rain was passing through the forest, a rapid chaotic sound suddenly sounded, and within a few breaths, thousands of arrows were splashed into the camp in front of him, which was no more than ten zhang wide, and for a time the sand and dust were splashed and wailed continuously.

After a round of arrows, the Huainan army in the rear retracted its bow, gently moved its right arm to charge the string, and stood silently. As for the front formation, there are 100 sword and shield soldiers who climb over the wall and walk through this camp full of feathered arrows. After a dozen breaths, there was no living mouth in the entire camp, and there was no shortage of Huainan soldiers who withdrew again, and there was no shortage of people whose robes were stained with blood.

"Beast!"

"Damn the thief!"

"Chen Gong saves his life......"

Many howls filled the ears, and after seeing such a cruel side of the Huainan army, before the drums and trumpets sounded again, the villagers who thought that they would be spared by hiding in the camp came out of the village one after another, howling and running to the rear.

At the same time, there was also no shortage of villagers Ding Zhuang under the organization of the villagers, armed with wooden sticks, guns and spears, shouting and scolding to rush to the Huainan army.

"Death to those who cross the border!"

Tian Jing gave another order, but did not say where the border was, but then the bow and arrow of the Huainan army gave an answer, and all the rebels who rushed into the range were immediately pierced by the arrow.

After a few dozen breaths, there was no trace of anyone within the range of the Huainan Army front. The Huainan army did not rush forward, but shrunk into a tighter formation, the front line of sword and shield soldiers retreated to the two flanks, and the team of archers advanced forward, and the light chariot wings were dismantled, leaning on the first wall to erect a shield wall.

At this time, night had fallen, and the Huainan army fired another round of rockets wrapped in hemp and then soaked in grease, and the camp that had been cleared out before suddenly burst into a sea of fire, illuminating the area.

Through the light of the fire, it can be seen that in the depths of this camp group, many rebel troops are gathering and approaching, and the fleeing villagers on the periphery are intercepted and then stuffed into the nearby camp. Seeing that their troops had assembled and left for the front, the villagers' mood stabilized, and the buzzing and scolding were endless.

Although the rebel army approached the front line, it did not continue to advance, and the two sides faced each other across a sea of fire. The Huainan Army front began to move first, not going deep into the camps, but continuing to shoot rockets around the perimeter of the camps, and the shield wall moved with it, and soon several simple camps on this line were covered by firelight, and the illuminated area became larger. It was only at this moment that the Huainan army entered through a slightly larger gap between those seas of fire.

At this time, there was finally a way that couldn't hold back, howling and rushing towards the Huainan army camp.

"A-word, shoot!"

After a heavy drum, the front three rows of the bow formation are set up, and the back side retreats, and the rear line steps forward and then stops and stands by. The chaotic army on the rear road stopped and retreated in horror, and the nearly 100 chaotic troops who were intercepted in the front did not dare to pause, knowing that only by rushing faster into the enemy formation could they avoid being shot and killed.

"Kill!"

Soon these chaotic pawns rushed to the close distance, Huainan front array of sword and shield pawns slashed the shield, the two wings were quickly outflanked, the original linear battle formation suddenly contracted into a ring, and then clumped into a clump, a rapid resonance of gold and iron, the gathered sword and shield pawns quickly withdrew and ran to the two wings, and in the same place, nearly a hundred fragmented, soaked corpses soaked in a pool of blood fell sideways.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the chaotic soldiers around them suddenly froze, cold sweat continued to break out in their palms, and their breathing instantly became rough.

"The people are innocent, but the thieves will suffer. From now on, all the people who follow the rebel Chen Guang to make a rebellion will be killed without asking for loyalty and treachery! ”

The Huainan Army's formation has always been condensed, and it is already terrifying when it is silent, and it is even more compelling and deterrent when it moves. After demonstrating a few clean fighting skills, although the surrounding rebel army gathered more and more, no one dared to bully them. After that, the Huainan army continued to burn seven or eight small camps near it with arrows, and then maintained its formation and slowly withdrew.

Its formation took a step back, and the rebel army that was holding on to each other took a step forward, but they never dared to close the distance too much. Until the Huainan army completely withdrew from this area, the rebels stopped in that field, watching the Huainan army gradually move away and gradually disappear into the night.

"There are only a few thousand, but our army has gathered thousands of people, why doesn't Chen Gong fight?"

Seeing the Huainan Army slowly disappearing, Yang Zhao looked at Chen Guang with a look of indignation and displeasure, and complained.

After Chen Guang heard this, he suddenly turned his head to look at the other party, and the sharp eyes reflecting the firelight were even more gloomy, and after a long while, the fingers holding the handle of the knife slowly let go.
