Chapter 49 Two-wheeled Array

"Jizhou Mu, when I received the latest news, General He had left Mianchi and now arrived at Sanmenyu. There is still a day and one night away from our army."

He Man can't be counted on in a short time. He Chen asked again, "What about Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's troops?"

"Generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang have left Luoyang. In order to prevent being attacked by Lv Bu, they marched forward with Sun Jian's army and echoed each other. Now it's almost in the position of Cao Yang.

Shit, it's even further away. It seems that I can only rely on myself.

He Chen returned by the original way of the moonlight and soon returned to the simple camp. Fortunately, when he camped, He Chen did not take it lightly, but let Huang Zhong arrange fortifications. Although it was simple, it was better than nothing. At this time, in the temporary village, there was a lot of busyness. The soldiers gathered nervously, and the queue reported a lot of slogans. All the soldiers were more or less tired, but they all held their chests with blood-stained weapons, and their eyes were full of firm light. In the southeast of Dazhai, this is specially divided to accommodate the people. Dozens of bonfires are still burning. Most of them are tired together, and their faces are full of horror.

More than a dozen generals gathered together, a little anxious, and stamped back and forth in front of He Chen's main camp. Seeing He Chen coming back, he was obviously relieved and hurried to meet him.

He Chen let go of Cai Yan's hands and said with a gloomy face, "Lv Chang, can you find out the enemy's number?"

Lv Chang shook his head and said, "The cavalry is extremely fast, and it is in the dark. Our army can't make a judgment."

"Your lord, the situation is a little bad. With the current fortifications, we absolutely can't withstand the impact of the other party's cavalry. Once the barrier is lost, the soldiers will be exposed to the other party's knife. In addition, our army is not equipped with heavy infantry. I'm afraid that Xiliang iron will be brave, and our army can't resist the other party's charge."

"State herdsman, why don't you evacuate first, and thousands of people will be entangled with each other here." Lu Chang continued.

"No, the cavalry is terrible in the strong deterrent and impact brought by their group's charge. Once they can't form an effective resistance, they really let them rush up, and ten times the force can't stop the other party's footsteps. If someone retreats at this time, I'm afraid he will lose even more. He Chen categorically denied it.

Lv Chang said anxiously, "The terrain here is complex, and most of them are intestinal paths. Even the official road is only enough for a two-wheeled carriage to pass. In addition to the fortifications arranged before, the cavalry can't really give full play to their advantages, and the combat effectiveness is less than 40% or 50% of usual. It is a good place for our army to block. The master doesn't need to worry, it's faster. Evacuation is the top."

"Exactly, the lord should retreat with the people and the truck." Lou Gui also spoke out for advice.

Truck? A strange idea suddenly appeared in He Chen's mind, and it became more and more full with the extension of his thinking.

"You don't need to talk about it anymore. You don't have to discuss this matter. Lou Gui is at your command." He Chen suddenly opened his mouth, blocking the generals who still wanted to speak, and his tone changed slightly excitedly.

"The last general." Lou Gui's face turned bright and said loudly.

"You are ordered to lead 500 soldiers, organize the disabled soldiers, wounded soldiers and the people, and quickly retreat to the Luyuan Pass. There must be no mistake."

"Master..." Lou Gui was shocked and hurriedly wanted to ask He Chen to change his mind.

"Do you want to disobey the order? He Chen said harshly.

"It's the lord, and I'll do it immediately." Lou Gui had no choice but to answer, and his eyes were full of loss.

"Xuan Gui, if you can safely lead the people back to the Luyuan Pass, this is your first achievement." He Chenming observed Qiu Hao, and Lou Gui's disappointed expression fell into his eyes. He didn't want to be chilled by these people's good loyalty, so he added a sentence.

"My subordinates swear to complete the task." Lou Gui cheered up a little, and his mood also rose.

He Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Lv Chang, you immediately gather the existing halberd and long gunmen in our army. You must complete this matter in a short time."

"No." Although Lv Chang didn't understand He Chen's intention, he was very clear that the best way to break the cavalry was to have heavy armored infantry in front of him to withstand the strong charge of the cavalry, forcing them to slow down the impact speed, and then cooperate with the long gun or halberd to attack. This effect is the best and the most likely to form an effective killing. It's just that there is no heavy step now, and it's not a good thing to have a spearman alone? I don't know which one did He Chen play?

He Chen's expression flashed with some pain, and then he gritted his teeth, and his voice trembled a little, "Yan Ming, you immediately organize your hands. Two two two two-wheelers are in a row, and ten are in a group, all of them are tied tightly with ropes, across the road that Dazhai must pass through. Someone wants to let these Xiliang cavalry, who think they are brave and will never come back." He Chen roared fiercely. Damn it, it's sad to force me to use these cars with gold and silver treasures as defense tools. Isn't it more sad than forcing me to hang myself? Today, if I don't kill all the Xiliang iron riders, I read the word He Chen backwards.

"Shou Mu, where can I find a rope at this time?" Yan Ming touched his head and said with a smile on his face.

He Chen was so angry that he was really a dead guy. He couldn't help roaring, "If there is no rope, won't you tear down the tent cloth? If you don't know how to do this, you can also tear your belt and clothes into pieces. You won't use your brain for such a simple thing?

Although Yan Ming was scolded, he did not have any shame, but giggled and said, "Zhou Mu is right. I'm going to do it."

He Chen was angry, and then shook his head helplessly, worried that this guy would really untie his belt and tear his trousers.

Seeing the generals act separately, the whole camp became more chaotic, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and the atmosphere of war shrouded everyone's heart. Under the continuous persuasion of the soldiers, most of the people obeyed Lou Gui's instructions and began to quickly evacuate from the south. A few of them stayed there, but they didn't leave. It was said that they wanted to help the state animal husbandry and resist the enemy together. The soldiers had no choice but to leave it to them.

He Chen breathed a sigh of relief, put on the helmet that Yan Ming replaced when he left, tied the rope, and tidied up his armor. Then he said gently to Cai Yan, "Yan'er, now the situation has changed. You can follow Lou Gui back to Wancheng first and wait for the good news."

"No, Yan'er is here." To He Chen's surprise, Cai Yan gritted his lips tightly, but his weak appearance was resolute.

He Chen had a headache and said, "Yan'er, you are also a reasonable person who distinguishes right from wrong. At this time, the situation has changed. If you stay here, you can only worry about someone, or you'd better return to Nanyang Kuan and other Hou."

Cai Yan still shook his head resolutely, and his eyes were full of tears and said, "The war is so cruel and ruthless, and the state pastor is fighting on the front line, but Yan'er can't help anything, and her heart is miserable. The only thing I can do now is to hope to lead the two songs of the piano. One song is to win the Zhuzhou Muqi, and the second song is Hezhou Mu's triumphant return.

He Chen was stunned. He didn't know what to say for a moment. His heart was like overturning a five-flavor bottle. There were all kinds of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. The beautiful woman is so affectionate that she can't let her down anyway. Even if she risked her life, she would bite these dogs to death. He Chen nodded gently like a ghost. When he came to his senses, it was hard to get back.

Cai Yan burst into tears and smiled, and the crystal tears on his face flashed in the moonlight, and even the steel melted in it.

At this time, Huang Zhong hurried over, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose. Although after several battles and not much rest, Huang Zhong was still energetic and energetic. He Chenjian raised his eyebrows and seemed to feel the strong atmosphere on the eve of the war from him. He laughed and said, "Has the enemy arrived?"

Huang Zhong nodded solemnly, and his voice was a little hoarse, "I'll be there in about a quarter of an hour."

He Chen nodded, and the tip of his ear trembled slightly, as if he felt the sound of air fluctuating and shaking. He slowly inhaled and said, "Let's go."

"Yan'er, you are in the middle army village. Don't let someone worry." When He Chen was about to go, he told him.

He nod his head gently, but Cai Yan smiled with a worried look.

He Chen was cruel and turned his head to say goodbye. He walked with Huang Zhong and quickly disappeared into the crowd of soldiers.

A line of tears hung on his face, but Cai Yan's beautiful smile never faded.

He Chen came to Dazhai, and there was a simple wooden fence in front of him, and the sharpened wood was all outside. Behind it, there is a gully that is not very wide, but of a certain length. A large number of archers have been ambushed in place, occupying various dangerous positions, either on trees, ravines, or flat ground. Everyone is quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy. Yan Ming was sweating profusely and constantly commanding the soldiers to take the two-wheeled vehicles side by side and occupy the middle of the road. All the vehicles are neatly arranged, and in the middle of each of the two groups, there is a gap that can only accommodate one person. Obviously, it was deliberately reserved.

At this time, Lv Chang also came over and said, "Huizhou Mu, the halberd soldiers have been assembled, with a total of 2,300, waiting for Hou Zhou Mu to order the assignment of tasks."

He Chen clapped his hands fiercely and shouted, "Okay, Lv Chang, can you see this two-wheeled array?"

Lv Chang looked up, with a look of awakening on his face, and said happily, "I already have eyebrows in my heart."

"The soldiers are divided into ten groups, all of which occupy the gap of the car array. In this way, they can't fly unless they put their wings on the magic horse." He Chen was in high spirits, and his mouth foamed across the road.

"Sure enough, when I saw the convoy, I thought that Zhou Mu should want to use this method to stop the cavalry impact. Once the cavalry can't charge, the horses they ride will become a burden, forcing the other party to get off the horse and fight, which greatly reduces the other party's combat effectiveness. The state animal husbandry can guide the advantage of the situation and make the best use of everything. Sure enough, he is wise and resourceful, and his subordinates worship him. Lv Chang's face was full of respect, his tone was extremely respectful, and his mouth was flattered.

At this time, the earth suddenly trembled, and then the inaudible dense sound sounded, and soon became clearer and clearer, like a muffled thunder in the night sky, and its momentum was endless.

"All soldiers are ready to fight immediately." He Chen's face changed and roared loudly.

"Report to the lord, rebuke the marquis to report. Judging from the direction and number of the cavalry, it is very likely that it is Wei Xu, a general under Lv Bu."

"What?" At this moment, He Chen's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and his hands and feet were cold.
