Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 489 Coward! (Thanks to book friend 2023…8447 for the monthly ticket~)

I saw the enemy troops already waving flags and shouting at the top of the mountain.

After climbing halfway up the mountain, Han Sui could only lead everyone back to the camp at the foot of the mountain.

Zhu Jun at the foot of the mountain looked at this scene, took a deep breath with a cold face.

I thought that after Wei Yan left the camp, he would not launch an attack so early.

However, he did not expect that setting up camp itself was a kind of confusion, which made him mistakenly believe that the enemy would not lead a large army to climb the mountain the next day.

Therefore, no more people were sent to guard the mountain...

However, it was already cold in the mountains, and the troops on their side were clearly at a disadvantage.

Even if more soldiers were sent up the mountain, it would be difficult to resist the enemy's attack.

Now that the hilltop has been occupied by the enemy, we have to consider whether to move our camp.

Otherwise, they would be watched from a high position by the enemy, and all their movements would not escape their surveillance.

By then they will be completely passive.

It seems that only by moving the camp to the foot of a higher mountain can the enemy not easily detect their movements.

If the enemy wanted to conduct further surveillance, they could only station themselves on higher mountains.

Higher peaks are undoubtedly colder, and the physical damage to the enemy will be greatly increased, so the enemy will certainly not rashly go to the top of the mountain.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun immediately ordered the soldiers to station at the foot of Mayaya Snow Mountain on the west side of Lenglongling.

The highest peaks there can reach over two thousand feet!
It would be impossible for the enemy to climb to such a high peak easily, let alone stay there for a long time to monitor them.

Seeing Zhu Jun ordering the army to move the camp.

Mao Jie immediately realized that something was wrong and advised Zhu Jun:

“General, our camp is already in a defensive position. Even if the enemy attacks from a high position, it will not be easy to break through.

“If we give up the camp at this moment, we will immediately lose our defensive advantage.

"The enemy may also attack us during our relocation!"

Seeing Mao Jie's worried face, Zhu Jun looked at him intently.

After thinking for a moment, he felt that the other party had a point, but he did not give in completely. He just said:
“In that case, let’s have 10,000 troops move the camp to the foot of Maya Snow Mountain.

"The remaining troops should be on high alert to prevent a sudden attack by the enemy."

Seeing that Zhu Jun chose the doctrine of the mean, Mao Jie didn't say anything more.

At the same time, Wei Yan had also reached the top of the mountain.

Although they successfully captured the mountain, they did not actually consume much of the enemy's troops.

Instead, he lost hundreds of men.

Because during the climbing process, the mountain became more slippery than they had imagined.

In addition, the enemy had prepared sufficient rolling stones and logs, so each of the ten teams suffered dozens of casualties.

But overall, it's acceptable.

Seeing that the enemy army seemed to be preparing to move their camp, Huang Zhong on the side immediately suggested:
"While they are moving their camp, how about we go down and kill them?"

Before Wei Yan could speak, Kuai Liang on the side hurriedly stopped him:

"No, no, our soldiers have just rushed up the mountain and have already expended a lot of energy. They should take a break now.

"As for the enemy, a careful observation will reveal that less than half of them are moving, while the other half are clearly guarding against us.

"Moreover, the enemy is well-rested and has stronger combat power than us.

"After all, we can't use gunpowder cans now..." After hearing this, Huang Zhong could only sigh and say no more.

Wei Yan saw Huang Zhong was unhappy and smiled to comfort him:

"Brother Han Sheng, don't worry. You have already done a great deed by shooting Cheng Gongying and helping us reach the top of the mountain.

“And if you look at the direction the enemy is migrating, it’s clearly under the Maya Snow Mountain.

"Isn't this exactly what our army wants?"

After hearing Wei Yan's words, Huang Zhong noticed the direction in which the enemy moved their camp. He suddenly realized something and burst into laughter:

"So that's how it is. No wonder Wen Chang is calmer than me today."

Wei Yan smiled happily:
"We have to find a way to drive the remaining half of the enemy troops to the foot of Maya Snow Mountain.

"Thus……"

At this point, Wei Yan's mind had already emerged with the magnificent and terrifying scene, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hearing his question, Huang Zhong and Kuai Liang both began to think.

At this time, Huang Zhong suddenly proposed:

“After half of the enemy’s camp is relocated, I can lead thousands of archers to harass the enemy from a distance using enhanced rockets from time to time.

"The enhanced rocket technology invented by the lord is now quite mature, and this time our army is carrying tens of thousands of such rockets.

"Using it to harass the enemy at this moment can not only have a certain killing effect, but also make the enemy extremely annoyed.

"Perhaps they will move the remaining camps soon."

Wei Yan thought Huang Zhong’s proposal was very good and agreed immediately.

In the next two days, the enemy finally moved half of the camp.

According to their observations over the past two days, the total number of troops in the enemy camps on both sides is nearly 30,000.

Excluding the more than one thousand people who were killed on the summit before, there should be more than 28,000 left now.

Now, there are nearly 10,000 people who have moved out of the camp, and there are more than 18,000 people left here.

Zhu Jun seemed to want to out of sight and out of mind, so he didn't stay here.

The camp here was guarded jointly by Han Sui and Mao Jie.

That night, Huang Zhong took two thousand archers and quietly went down the mountain.

The scouts guarding the foot of the mountain discovered the movements of Huang Zhong's army at the first time and immediately reported it to Han Sui and Mao Jie in the camp.

But before they could mobilize their troops to leave the camp, a wave of arrows had already shot into the camp!

Originally thinking that those were just ordinary arrows, the soldiers in the camp took up their shields to block them.

However, when the arrows landed on the shields, the ground, and the pillars, there was a burst of intense flames and a powerful small explosion!
Although it was not as powerful as a gunpowder can, it still made the soldiers' hands holding the shields go numb!
Some wooden shields even caught fire, producing gorgeous sparks in the dark night!
Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that these arrows have a much longer attack range than gunpowder cans.

The quantity is far beyond what a powder jar can compare to.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and the tents of Han Sui’s army are covered with a thin layer of snow.

When the enhanced rocket lands on a tent, it may not explode, and even if it does, it is difficult to ignite a wet tent.

Therefore, although this wave of offensive seemed to be effective, it did not cause much casualties to Han Sui's army, and only barely shot and killed a few hundred people.

When Han Sui led his troops out of the camp, he found that the enemy had retreated back to the mountain.

Han Sui couldn't help but curse:
"These bastards don't even dare to confront our army head-on. They are such cowards!"

Huang Zhong on the mountain heard Han Sui's curse, and immediately drew his bow and arrow, aimed at Han Sui, and shot an arrow at him with all his strength!
