Chapter 501 Chapter 504
Ba Fenghan sighed: "This is called the greatest fortune in misfortune. If the new army arrives an hour earlier, it will be our turn to walk around without eating."

Shen Mu said dejectedly: "It took a lot of effort and untold hardships to break the blockade of the South Road, but the fruits of victory were picked by the enemy in the blink of an eye."

Ba Fenghan comforted: "At least the reinforcements have successfully arrived at Tiancheng Gorge, and we have obtained a large amount of supplies from the enemy. We will have an offensive and defensive battle with Li Shimin to see whether the Tang army is strong or our young commander's army is strong enough?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly, "Is there any other choice?"

The joy of victory disappeared immediately under the cruel reality, leaving no trace behind.

Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan stood on the top of the outer wall of the cottage, looking at Tang Jun's terrifying lineup with numbness.

No matter how fertile their imaginations, it was quite another to witness the other's overwhelming superiority.Although it is a repeat of the situation in Luoyang, the walls of Luoyang City are high and thick enough to defend against any attack, and the wall they erected is only two feet high and five feet wide, which is really vulnerable to a blow.The triple trenches outside, with the opponent's large numbers of people, can be filled in at most a few hours, without any obstacles.

The Tang army has a strength of 6 to [-], and camps are set up all over the vast hilly area facing the cottage.

In just one day and one night, the trees in a radius of ten li outside the village were cleared, and they were used to manufacture a large number of various tools for attacking the village.Hundreds of thousands of built ladders, crash vehicles, arrow-blocking troop carriers, trench-filling frog carts, catapults, and crossbow arrow machines were pushed to the front line more than [-] steps away from the cottage. Come on, Tang Jun will take turns guarding behind the car formation, not afraid of the attack of the young commander.

There are advantages and disadvantages. The cottage is easy to defend, and it also allows the enemy to easily block and concentrate their forces to attack.If the retreat route in the rear had not been cut off, they could have successfully retreated at least, but now they are trapped and can only fight to the end.

Ba Fenghan smiled wryly: "Are you sure you can penetrate the opponent's wooden donkey cart?"

The Wooden Donkey Cart is the correct name for the Arrow Shield Carrier.Xu Ziling used it to conduct trench warfare outside Luoyang that day. It moved on four wheels and looked like a small movable house. The top of the herringbone was made of huge wood, covered with raw cowhide, which was not easy to burn, and more than [-] soldiers could be hidden under it. When they attacked Luoyang, they were restrained by the giant catapult on the wall, so they were powerless, but they were able to attack the simple cottage with ease.

When the car hits a gap in the wall of the village, the soldiers hidden in the wooden donkey cart can swarm into the village, and the young commander's army is about to die.

Shen Mu shook his head, expressing his powerlessness, and said in a deep voice: "All Li Xiaozi's deployments are designed for our stabbing the sun and shooting the moon. Only the scull shield can withstand the powerful arrows we shoot from the divine bow."

The scull shield is the largest shield. It is made of thick wood and has a pointed insert at the bottom, which can be inserted into the soil to strengthen its resistance.The Tang army guarding the front line was setting up more than a dozen newly-made scull shield columns in front of them, and people were showing off their power behind the shields, so Shen Mu expressed his feeling.

Ba Fenghan said ruthlessly: "Hurry up and think of a way, otherwise once Li Shimin launches an attack, it will be thunderous, day and night, until we completely collapse, and you will have no time to think about other things."

Shen Mu smiled bitterly and said, "My little head doesn't seem to listen to my commands. Damn it, why does Li Xiaozi always seem to be able to beat me up?"

Ba Fenghan said: "Because he has absolutely the upper hand, he can get what he wants. Although we have soldiers ready and enough food and grass, we can't last long in the city. We have no strength to fight against, we can only fight with wits."

Shen Mu frowned and said: "It's clearly a tough battle now, if you can't win, you lose. Hey! Can we burn Li Xiaozi's car formation with a fire bomb, and drag the hell out for a few days?"

In the battle on the South Road last night, they only used poisonous smoke arrows, and there were still more than 300 sticks, [-] kerosene bombs and [-] poisonous smoke ground guns were completely sealed and untouched.But even if the opponent's car array is successfully burned, the opponent can make another batch in a few days, so Shen Mu has the last sentence.

Ba Fenghan looked up at the sky, and slowly said: "This is the best way we can think of. It can be delayed for as many days as possible, and there may be a turning point at that time, because the first heavy snow in early winter is about to fall, and the accumulated The snowy ground will be very unfavorable to Li Shimin's attack."

Shen Mu looked around at the situation of the chariot formation, smiled and said: "Boy Li guessed that we had this move, so he made people defend closely behind the formation, and the distance was as far as more than two thousand steps. As long as we wave our troops to attack the formation, the defending soldiers will But you can hit us head-on. Fortunately, you have Zhang Liang’s plan, and I have a wall ladder. Let my two brothers attack in person, tie the kerosene bomb to the arrow and ignite it, and shoot it with a magic bow. How about a long-distance defeat of the enemy? "

Ba Fenghan smiled, and said: "Good plan! It turns out that living a few more days can make people so happy and excited."

Shen Mu scolded with a smile: "Your grandma's bear, I, Shen Mu, will never lose. The poisonous smoke arrows, kerosene bombs and poisonous mist alone are enough to make us endure the heavy snow. I hope your brother will see it." Tian's ability is indeed qualified to be my master, so I don't have the confidence to see that it will snow soon."

Ma Chang came to the side of the two at this time and said: "The Tang army blocking the exit of the South Road has been confirmed to be a force commanded by Wang Junkuo. After Qu Tutong regrouped, he joined forces with Wang Junkuo to guard the South Road, with a force of [-] troops."

Shen Mu laughed and said, "We are proud that Li Shimin used nearly [-] soldiers to deal with my army of less than [-]. Where is Mr. Chen?"

Ma Chang looked worriedly at the powerful enemy outside the stronghold, and replied: "Mou Lao is trying to strengthen the defense of the south of the gorge. Although the enemy dare not attack the gorge, it is always good for us to be careful." .

Ba Fenghan was surprised: "At this moment, we all live and die together, what else can we not talk about?"

Ma Chang said: "I am afraid that the enemy will attack with fire."

Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan couldn't figure it out, it was easier to destroy the village than it was to burn it down, and they didn't understand why Ma Chang had such fear.

Ma Chang explained: "Strictly speaking, it should be a smoke attack. In this weather, the north wind, northwest wind or northeast wind blows. As long as the enemy burns wood nearby, the thick smoke will be sent into the village with the wind, filling the gorge. At that time, we only had to take risks to break through, which is no different from sending to death."

Shen Mu gasped, and said, "Your worries are very reasonable."

Ma Chang said: "If poisons such as arsenic are poured into the burning fire, the lethality will be even stronger."

Ba Fenghan was startled and said: "General Ma can think of this method, of course Li Shimin, who is full of talents, will not ignore it. It is indeed a very troublesome problem."

Shen Mu said: "Perhaps the arsenic is on its way here, we must find a way to deal with it."

Ma Chang suggested: "There is still a way to think about the gorge. As long as people close the gorge, the smoke will rise to a higher place, and the gorge will be safe. The problem is that there is no barrier outside the cottage. The enemy will attack by the smoke. We It will definitely be too much."

Even if the entire army can hide in the gorge to avoid the smoke, but the cottage is razed to the ground, it is better to escape as soon as possible.

Shen Mu pondered and said: "The situation is not that bad yet, right? We can place poisonous smoke cannons outside the village when the smoke is hidden, and take advantage of the momentum to fight back. Maybe we can take advantage of it. Lao Ba and I are not afraid of poisonous smoke , the problem is how people outside the canyon avoid the smoke, Chen Gong must have a way in this regard."

Ba Fenghan cast his eyes on the defense line of the chariot formation that stretched for miles outside the village, recovered calmly, and said calmly: "If Li Shimin uses fire to attack, the first condition is to guard the front line of the chariot formation tightly. If we can break through his defense line, The killing of Yan Gong must be postponed."

Ma Chang asked in surprise: "How to break their car array?"

Shen Mu explained, and said: "Without further delay, General Ma immediately went to select a group of elite archers to cover me and Lao Ba. We will act immediately after dark and burn his mother's heart. How can firearms in the south of the Yangtze River be used?" If it's Yi Yu, I'll give Little Li a badass and let him know that I, Shen Mu, are not easy to mess with."

Ba Fenghan said: "Looking at the situation, Li Shimin should start attacking the village tomorrow morning, so tonight is our last chance."

After Ma Chang took the order to leave, Ba Fenghan said with a smile: "A talent is a talent. Ma Chang is not only courageous, but also thoughtful, so he can be entrusted with important responsibilities."

Shen Mu happily said: "It is my blessing that he can be used by me."

When the two carefully discussed the details of what to do tonight, Chen Laomou rushed over and said excitedly: "It's a trivial matter, I will leave it to the old man."

The two were overjoyed and hurriedly asked for advice.

Chen Laomou showed respect, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This is the method mentioned in Master Lu's war volume Chapter 5 anti-poison and smoke technique, which is to make a cylinder with cloth, and use a wooden frame to open it, and join the sections together. One end leads to a place where the poisonous smoke cannot reach, and the other end leads to a sealed house. This house is not completely sealed, but has an air outlet. On one side, a blower is used to inject fresh air into the long tube to input fresh air, and the other end is also used to blow the poisonous gas. Exhaust, and prevent poisonous gas from entering the house. There is a ready-made exhaust house, which is our main building, which has been slightly modified. The cylinder is easy to make, and we have sufficient manpower, so it can be delivered tomorrow morning."

Shen Mu said happily: "Please Mr. Chen to handle this matter immediately."

Chen Laomou went boldly.

Shen Mu put his arms around Ba Fenghan's shoulders, and said: "It's just a day if I live longer, alas! Why is there still no sign of Ziling? With him around, I am more confident in fighting this battle."

Shen Mu and the others were fighting and gaining momentum in the cottage.

After careful study with Ba Yegang, Bing Yuanzhen, Ma Chang, Wang Xuanshu, etc., they unanimously decided to make a big attack to defeat Li Shimin's spirit.

His subordinates were putting on Shen Mu's armor that Xuan Yong had specially made for him, when Xiao He'er's voice sounded beside him: "Brother must be a general from the fairy world."

Shen Mu only had time to think about her at this time, and she had to remind him, secretly blaming himself for being careless and murdering and setting fire in his head, and remembering that if the cottage was destroyed, Xiaohe'er's fate would be in jeopardy, he said with a smile: "little sister, come to me show me."

The subordinates around were shocked, only to realize that Xiao He'er was a woman wearing men's clothing.

Little He'er came to him with a flushed face, and said happily and angrily, "Brother revealed his secret."

Shen Mu said apologetically: "Brother was negligent, but an ugly woman must see her husband eventually, not to mention that the girl is so beautiful? Is the little girl interested in playing in my young commander's army?"

Xiao He'er forgot about her embarrassment, and said happily: "What can I do for you?"

Shen Mu summoned people to hold Wuming, and said: "This is the eye of our young commander in the sky. Its safety is related to the survival of the entire army. From now on, I will hand it over to my sister to take care of it."

Not only was Little He'er not afraid of the nameless and ferocious appearance, seeing Shen Mu lovingly stroking the shiny brown-gray feathers on its back, he whispered: "Can I touch it?"

Shen Mu stood up, walked aside with her, and taught her how to tame and feed eagles.Little He'er Bingxue is smart, quick to understand, and can't put it down.

Seeing that Wuming didn't dislike her, Shen Mu handed Wuming over to her, and went back to join Ba Fenghan and others, ready to set off.

Wang Xuanshu led two horses to the side of the two.He said in a low voice: "Xuanshu will guard the stronghold, I wish the young commander a successful start."

Shen Mu said: "Remember to take care of our little girl."

Wang Xuanshu didn't know why, Jun blushed slightly, and nodded in agreement.

Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan got on their horses and rode towards the gate of the village.

Three troops of 2000 each, led by Bing Yuanzhen, Ma Chang and Ba Yegang, were waiting in formation behind the gate of the village.

As the sky darkened, torches were used to illuminate the cottage. The red burning flames flickered and flickered in the cold wind, adding to the atmosphere of war and killing.

Among them, the two armies are composed of contradictory soldiers, archers and cavalry. The former has a thousand soldiers, and the latter two have five hundred each. They are still mainly defensive.

When Shen Mu gave an order, the drums sounded, the gate of the village opened, and Shen Mu shouted: "Boys! Let's show them some color tonight, so that they know how powerful my young commander is."

The three armies and the defenders of the camp shouted at the same time, and their morale was high.

Shen Mu laughed, and rushed out of the village gate with Ba Fenghan.

The horns sounded and the hoofs roared on the enemy's side. It was obviously Li Shimin's response to mobilize the army and engage in deployment.

Fight after the shower.

Ma Chang's central army, Bing Yuanzhen's left-wing army, and Ba Yegang's right-wing army formed formations outside the trench through a temporary trench bridge.

The twelve trench bridges were completed by Chen Laomou in a half-day rush. The long and wide bridge decks were made of wooden boards, and the wheels were installed underneath, pushed into the trenches, and supported by the huge wheels below, to bear the pressure on the bridge decks, which made his army Can quickly cross the trench.The [-] heavy soldiers who came with the reinforcements became the new force of Chen Laomou's fortification army. With enough manpower, Chen Laomou wanted wind and rain.

After setting up the formation, the left and right wing troops advanced forward and stopped a thousand steps away from the front line of the enemy's chariot formation, forming a crescent formation. In the defense of the impact, five hundred archers are located behind, and they resist the enemy from a long distance under protection. The cavalry in the rear is responsible for dealing with the enemy cavalry attacking from the side, and the formation is mainly defensive.Ma Chang led 3000 men, all of whom were light cavalry.

Ba Fenghan and Shen Mu got off their horses.There is also a group of 50 elite Feiyun Guards, responsible for supplying fire bombs and igniting explosives.

Li Shimin didn't dare to neglect, three teams of 5000 infantry archers each set up defenses in front of the chariot formation, led by Luo Shixin, Shi Wanbao and Liu Dewei. As long as they advance [-] steps, both sides can shoot arrows at each other.Tang Jun obviously had deep scruples about Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan, and was intimidated by their long-distance threat of piercing the sun and shooting the moon. The first two rows used giant wooden oar shields on the pillars.

Li Shimin and the generals deployed five groups of light cavalry behind the chariot formation, each with 3000 men, who could rush out from the gap in the chariot formation at any time and enter the battlefield.

If Shen Mufang didn't have extraordinary means, he would definitely lose if he confronted the Tang army with such an overwhelming military strength, and the opponent had an endless supply of backup troops.

Wang Xuanshu, who was guarding the stronghold, gave an order, and a team of 500 archers rushed out of the stronghold to guard the three outer moat bridges.

At this time, the horns sounded, and the three 5000-man shield spearmen and archers outside the Tang army's chariot formation advanced slowly and steadily towards the young marshal's army in unison to the sound of war drums, which was extremely terrifying.

Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan waited for the enemy to advance close to the ideal position, and at the same time took out the two magic bows of piercing the sun and shooting the moon, and hurriedly hung the burning fire bombs on the two arrows. The hooks were of course supervised by Chen Laomou.

"Whizzing!"

The two arrows shot high into the sky from the bow, and the fireballs and sparks splashed all over the sky.

"Bang! Bang!"

With two sounds like burning firecrackers, Ba Fenghan's fire bombs exploded above the chariot formation, and clusters of flames rained down on the chariot formation and the Tang soldiers guarding the formation, covering a radius of two or three feet. .

Shen Mu's fireball fell on a trebuchet before it exploded, engulfing the trebuchet and two nearby crash cars into flames.

Tang Bing, who was burned by the flames, fell to the ground howling, and the other two fireballs were shot from Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan's bows, looking for new targets for the chariot formation.

How could the enemies inside and outside the chariot formation expect to have such powerful firearms that could attack the enemy thousands of paces away, they were thrown into chaos, and the three Tang troops that were still advancing were even more in a dilemma.

Shen Mu's fireballs were redirected to the advancing enemy, while Ba Fenghan was in charge of dealing with the chariot formation, and for a while, flames were everywhere, and flames burst out everywhere.

Seeing the opportunity, Bing Yuanzhen and Ba Yegang rushed forward, and Ma Chang's army also advanced, waiting behind Shen Mu.

The fire can't stop piercing the night, and it keeps throwing beads at the target.

Many sections of the car formation are already burning, and there is a tendency to affect the entire formation.Li Shimin made a decisive decision and ordered people to move the unaffected convoy back, and then ordered the three infantry to withdraw into the formation, and instead attacked by the highly mobile cavalry teams composed of two left and right teams of 3000 people, while he stayed behind to stabilize his position.

Bing Yuanzhen and Ba Yegang didn't dare to pursue, they retreated to the left and right sides of Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan, forming an formation to meet the enemy.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two fire bombs exploded in front of the enemy cavalry rushing from the right, and the fireballs rained down. The dozen or so cavalry in the front stood up like fiery men and horses, staggering to and fro, falling to the ground. In the flames, people howled and horses neighed for a while, and the tragic situation was unbearable.

Bing Yuanzhen and Ba Yegang shouted successively: "Let the arrow!"

Rows of arrows shot from behind the contradictory hands, attacking the enemy cavalry mercilessly.Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan put away their bows, flew on their horses, and led Ma Chang's three thousand elite riders, and killed the generals.
