Chapter 351 What the horse sees is decided by humans!

"Sending troops to ambush the enemy many times on the way to advance, raising flags and beating drums to bluff the enemy. We repeatedly made the enemy think that we had launched an attack when it was not, making them cautious and slowing down the march. Secondly, we just kept shouting. It won’t work if we don’t really attack.”

"We want them to think we are attacking but not attacking, and to make them think we are not attacking but attacking. The art of war is all about surprise. Do you understand?"

The captain of Huangshazhou looked at the commander-in-chief of the garrison and asked.

The officer nodded slightly and said respectfully: "The words of the governor made my subordinates feel as if they were blocked, and they seemed to be cheerful and clear. I will do it now!"

After the words fell, the officer hurriedly walked out and led the army out of the city.

……

At this time, about twenty miles away from Qingcheng City, a black torrent was walking on the yellow sand land.

Densely packed figures were surging forward and backward, and it was impossible to see beyond.

"This place is dry and hot, and soldiers who have been marching for a long time are prone to heatstroke. If you see that most of the soldiers in the army are starting to get tired, stop marching for a while, take a break, and drink more water."

You Ming gave instructions.

Jie, who was riding on the giant wolf beside him, couldn't help but asked strangely: "When did you understand this?"

You Ming was immediately proud when he heard this: "How can you, a reckless man who only knows how to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.

"Huh." Jie snorted coldly and ignored it, carrying the dragon gun and continuing to run forward.

Among the troops at the rear, from time to time a soldier would take out a water bag and pour water into his mouth.

Marching quickly in such a hot area is really torturous.

It is extremely uncomfortable to have yellow sand in your mouth and nose.

Among them, if the totem is awakened, the soldiers with extraordinary physiques are in pretty good condition.

But ordinary soldiers were tired. They were panting, sweating profusely, and wanted to drink all the water in four or five water bags.

Seeing that half of the soldiers in the rear were almost exhausted, You Ming waved his hand to stop and shouted: "Relax on the spot for a moment!"

As soon as these words came out, many soldiers sat on the ground to rest in relief.

As they walked on, they were afraid that they would die of exhaustion before they died of heat.

The entire army began to stay sparsely, and then regrouped into many camps based on the number of people.

The number of 80,000 troops is visually shocking.

Yuan Yuan could feel the majestic momentum just by looking at it.

From time to time, a series of sounds of swords clashing were even more shocking.

At this time, an officer from Qingcheng City, who was far away, led more than 10,000 people out of the city. He had discovered traces of the enemy.

"I will ask everyone to beat me hard in a moment. If I don't hit anyone, it will be fine. The main thing is the momentum!" the officer ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison and then made preparations.

"Hit me!"

As soon as the words fell, the bombs from the grenade were fired out violently.

Rows of bombs fired in unison, and countless shells exploded in a series near the resting army in front.

The deafening sound of the explosion immediately startled the resting soldiers.

"Enemy attack enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Waves of almost roaring shouts gradually spread to each camp.

One army after another quickly moved towards the enemy's position.

Seeing that the other party had sent troops to kill them, the officer ordered the troops to retreat without any hesitation.

Worried that the other party was cheating, You Ming did not order the army to pursue him to avoid being ambushed by the enemy.

"Inspect personnel losses, and send additional reconnaissance troops to explore the road ahead to ensure safety!"

He gave the order with a serious look on his face.

The sudden attack made the entire army become a little more cautious.

As the reconnaissance troops were sent out, the army began to gradually relax and enter a state of rest.

Various camps began to light fires to cook meals to replenish nutrition and physical strength for the troops.

After about three hours of rest, the army began to move forward.

The team that went out for reconnaissance returned without finding any enemy troops after traveling for several miles.

After marching for several hours again, it became dark, and You Ming and other leading generals led the army to find a suitable camping location to rest.

As the sun completely set, the surrounding sky quickly became dark. The moonlight was as thin as water, making the night extremely dark.

Troops holding torches patrolled the camp area to prevent enemy attacks.

In the dark night, mysterious teams wearing sunglasses and carrying straw frames were sneaking around a mile away from the camp in front, making inexplicable movements.

They dug countless pits, placed unknown items in the pits, and then buried the pits. Finally, they did not forget to erase their footprints before leaving.

……

……

Early the next morning, the cold wind blew by. You Ming shivered and sat up suddenly.

"This ghost place is really a place for people to stay. Morning and evening are like cold winter, and noon is like scorching summer."

After complaining a few words, You Ming got up and went to get some food from the soldiers who were making a fire to cook.

After breakfast, the army rested for a while before getting ready to continue marching.

The 80,000-strong army was like a crucian carp crossing a river, so densely packed that it was impossible to count.

The advance troops at the front were the first to rush on their way.

The march has just reached one mile.

A rumbling sound suddenly sounded, and the bomb exploded suddenly underfoot, smashing the soldiers into a bloody mess and dying.

Inadvertently, nearly a thousand soldiers were lost.

The army stopped again, and Jie was already furious.

He was shouting that he wanted to chop off all the heads of those little people.

On the march, accidents occurred one after another and they were attacked by enemy troops.

Jie's impatience to kill people was naturally extremely violent.

You Ming comforted him from the side: "Don't be impatient. It's a small matter. Let the puppet army explore the road ahead. The army will march immediately behind. However, the marching speed will be 10% or 20% slower. But don't worry, the impact will not be big."

After You Ming comforted him, Jie gradually calmed down.

You Ming, on the other hand, was surprised by the enemy's behavior of digging traps overnight. He thought deeply for a moment and linked up the enemy's previous actions.

He immediately guessed that the other party was delaying the army's march!

And why delay? They must be waiting for reinforcements!

It seems that the army needs to speed up its march. The sooner it arrives, the easier it will be to capture the city. If it takes too long to wait for enemy reinforcements to arrive, it will be in trouble.

He immediately ordered the puppet army to dispatch and use his body to detect the minefield!

As the puppet army was dispatched, they explored the road ahead.

Large areas of minefields were explored by the puppet with its own body.

After crossing the minefield, the army's marching speed gradually began to become faster.

The more the army tried to speed up its march, the more frequently the enemy harassed them.

Jie led three thousand wolf flags, even if he killed thousands of people. Nor can it organize the enemy's movements.

They kept, crazily, constantly harassing the army. But You Ming couldn't just shoot the army to chase him.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

If there was really an ambush, wouldn't it be that they fell into the enemy's trap?

You Ming was not 100% sure whether the enemy was slowing down the march or luring him into an ambush.

In short, it is still the same saying, there is no mistake in being cautious. Leading the army is not a gamble. You cannot gamble. If you lose, you will lose countless lives that you cannot regret, and you will even bear the great responsibility of your family and country behind you.

In this way, the army's march was continuously delayed. It took two days to reach the thirty-mile journey, which was extremely slow.

You Ming looked at the city ahead from a distance.

I saw a city in the yellow sand land that was actually full of green.

There is an oasis within a ten-meter radius around the city wall!

Towering green trees surround the entire city.

Looking at the city wall again, densely packed soldiers were waiting to see the army outside the city.

"The last city on Huangshazhou." You Ming slowly raised the long knife in his hand and shouted angrily: "Attack!"

The words fell.

A high-pitched horn sound suddenly sounded, and countless troops from behind suddenly charged towards the city.

The densely packed figures are like a torrential flood, trying to submerge the entire Qingcheng city.

On top of the city, the governor looked anxiously at the army outside.

"Reinforcements will take six hours at the earliest. What should I do? What should I do? Who can tell me what to do!"

he shouted emotionally.

Just when everyone was anxious, an officer suddenly suggested: "Sir, why don't you set fire to all sides of the city to stop the enemy with fire!"

"As long as we hold on for a few hours, Qingcheng City will be saved!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a life-saving straw.

The governor immediately agreed and ordered the soldiers to pour fire oil outside the city.

The fire oil soaked the surrounding green plants, and as a fire light lit up, a sea of ​​​​fire suddenly burst into flames.

The monstrous flames immediately stopped the attacking army and began to retreat.

When You Ming saw that the other party was willing to burn the oasis, he immediately secretly said it was a pity. At the same time, he ordered his troops to retreat and wait for the fire to reduce before launching an attack.

In order to delay time, the enemy is now doing anything.

The politicians on the top of the city saw that the surrounding oasis began to burn continuously, and the trees changed from their original green to gray-brown.

His whole body suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning.

"You really came up with a good idea!"

He accused the officer with a look of pain on his face.

“Thousands of miles of yellow sand only lead to this one mile of oasis!”

It is not an exaggeration to say that this oasis is the lifeblood of the people in Huangshazhou.

Huangshazhou is sparsely populated, why is it so sparse?

It’s not just that the environment is bad and water resources are scarce.

This is an important reason why the population is not rising.

However, the underground mineral veins here are rich and must be developed.

The sparse population also creates difficulties in development.

The water source in the oasis here is enough to support the survival of half of the population of Huangshazhou.

Now that green plants have disappeared, desertification will become more and more serious, and eventually the water sources here will gradually disappear.

The captain among the soldiers on the side raised his eyelids and said coldly: "As long as you live, everything is possible. If you die, there will be nothing."

Such heavy words were like a big mountain, pressing on everyone's chests, and everyone became silent for a while.

The fire lasted for two hours and gradually became smaller. In order to continue to delay the time, the governor of Huangshazhou ordered many soldiers to collect dyes in the city that could increase the intensity of the fire and pour it down continuously.

The city wall close to the sea of ​​fire has been extremely hot, and everyone can feel a heat wave just by getting closer.

Seeing this, the governor was relieved. It would be difficult for the enemy to attack in this situation. It should be enough to support the arrival of reinforcements.

It seems that the fire has no intention of stopping, but the kerosene trees in it have burned out. The current threat of the sea of ​​​​fire is not relatively great, but there is still a risk.

Thinking about it, if you want to rush into the enemy group quickly and cross the sea of ​​fire, only the cavalry can do it.

But the city wall in front of them blocked the cavalry.

After thinking for a moment, You Ming made a decision immediately.

"Send the military order and order the Thunder Copper Spear Army to smash the city wall in front of us!"

As soon as the words fell, tens of thousands of Thunder Copper Lancers slowly approached the city wall, and then raised their spears, and a strong aura of thunder filled the air.

Everyone on the top of the city suddenly felt bad when they saw this.

"Get down quickly!"

The governor immediately jumped off the city wall quickly, and countless soldiers fled frantically from the top of the city.

The thunder from behind slammed against the city wall like a sea of ​​thunder.

Violent rumbling sounds suddenly sounded, and the entire city wall collapsed!

Among them, the long-term burning of the flame also played a role!

"Let the pike troops withdraw, then it's time for the cavalry to appear!"

You Ming shouted loudly, and the pike troops in front divided into two square formations from the flanks and retreated.

The 20,000 dragon cavalrymen behind them all pulled out a two-meter-long lance and held it tightly in their hands.

"attack!"

You Ming got on his horse, raised his long sword, and roared fiercely.

The endless cavalry army behind them suddenly galloped forward.

The earth was shaking, and the yellow sand was blowing with the charging wind.

The sun hid in the clouds fearfully.

The sound of intensive horse hooves gradually became louder and louder, rushing forward.

The flames ahead burned fiercely, and the eyes of a pair of horses flashed with fire. They immediately revealed a look of fear. They rubbed the ground with their hooves, stopping their charge and fearing to move forward.

You Ming was riding a red-blooded horse. When he raised his sword and saw the cavalry stopped, he immediately said angrily: "Why stop!"

The officer on the side said hurriedly: "General, calm down, it's the horses that are afraid of the fire and don't dare to charge!"

When You Ming heard this, he immediately jumped off his horse, then tore a piece of cloth from his body and tied it to the horse's eyes.

Seeing this, many cavalrymen followed suit.

You Ming got on his horse again, raised his long soldiers, and shouted loudly in the face of the blazing sea of ​​fire:

“What the horse sees is decided by the person!”

"charge!"

After the words fell, a loud shout of killing rang out.

Like turbulent waves!

The densely packed cavalry swept forward with invincible momentum and charged forward!

A famous cavalryman, holding a spear and driving his horse, suddenly crossed the sea of ​​​​fire and rushed into the city along the gravel road.

The governor in the city was already stunned. He looked at the panicked troops around him and shouted anxiously: "Don't be chaotic! Don't be chaotic! Hold on, reinforcements will be here soon. Go to meet the enemy! Go to meet the enemy!"

There were constant roars coming from his mouth, which were soon drowned out by the panicked crowd...
