Chapter 3536 Young man

Cai He's army slowly advanced on the river beach.

It’s not that the Cao army soldiers didn’t want to be faster, but that there was some mud and pebbles on the river beach, which made the Cao army soldiers unable to get up quickly. Moreover, for the Cao army soldiers, they did not have any excellent combat boots. Many people were still wearing ordinary straw sandals. When they stepped on the mud, they were like later generations wearing slippers and stepped into the mud pit.

Cai He looked at the soldiers under his command and suddenly became slightly tilted, and then looked up at the heavy armored Li Dian formations that were still on the river bay. Suddenly, some cold sweat suddenly oozed out of his palms!

Damn it!

"Send the order! Speed ​​up and pass through the river beach!"

Cai He rushed to the side of the ship and shouted loudly.

He finally figured out what was the reason for his uneasiness before.

terrain!

Unfortunately, most of the time, people often fall in, and only realize that there is a trap here!

When Cai He's soldiers walked up from the river beach, they heard a sudden rapid sound of clappers in Li Dian's army, and then the heavy armored soldiers separated left and right, revealing the crossbowmen lined up in the rear.

In front of the crossbowman, there were torches inserted one by one!

The crossbowmen were bringing the cloth strips wrapped around the arrow to the torch...

If it is at night or in the morning and evening with poor light, the light of these torches will definitely be discovered in advance.

Trap, ambush.

As the most basic means of marching and fighting, it has been used from ancient times to the present.

Everyone understands it. It’s so old-fashioned that it can’t be more old-fashioned, but being able to use it well is considered a real skill.

Just like hunting, everyone knows that you can catch prey by putting a condom, but how to put it in, and where to put it in, it is not something that the keyboard man said something and then came out of this one, etc.

The Rocket drew a red arc in the sky.

Cai He's pupils reflected the sky, and the crackling sound of reeds burning in his ears.

『Fire! Fire!』

Cao's army was in chaos.

The reed marshes soaked in tinder oil in advance turned into a sea of ​​fire, and thick smoke wrapped around Mars and soared into the sky.

『Ahhhhh…』

The soldiers of Cao's army were immediately dispersed.

Cai He did avoid the reeds and was not directly burned, but the burning sea of ​​fire and the rising black smoke cut the entire battlefield into two parts. Whether Cai He's troops wanted to move forward to the Pass, or the soldiers from the Pass wanted to come to support, they could not be done.

In a blink of an eye, Li Dian's heavy armored soldiers had already reached the sight of Cao's soldiers in Cai He's army.

The swords and guns of Cao's soldiers only made sparks on the iron scales on the heavy armored soldiers, but the long swords and halberds of the heavy armored soldiers tore open the front line like cutting melons and vegetables, and defeated the Cao's soldiers step by step.

Cai He raised his head and tried to penetrate the burning black smoke and reach the place where the mourning pass...

In fact, the reed marsh at this time is not as easy to burn as in autumn and winter.

Especially near the river bank, if there is no tincture to help the ignition, it will automatically go out after a while. After all, there is still sufficient moisture in the plants in spring.

So even if a big fire is ignited, it is just burning tinder oil, and there is still no fire in other places.

For example, at the place where the gate of the meteorological gate is closed.

But in the midst of the fire, Cai and him saw nothing.

The gate of the meteorological gate is tightly closed...

『Retreat! Retreat quickly!』

Even a fool knows that something is wrong.

Cai He shouted, asking his subordinate Cao's soldiers to withdraw.

The Cao army military academy next to Cai He changed his expression, "The captain cannot withdraw!"

"Why can't you retreat?" Cai He didn't turn his head, as if he was still staring at the soldiers on the river beach, but his eyes were filled with a fierce meaning, and his hands tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.

『General asked us to defend this place! Once we retreat, the Pass will definitely be alone!』 Cao Jun Military Academy said in a deep voice, 『Now we are the only ones...』

"What is that?" Before Cai He could finish his speech at the Cao Army Military Academy, he suddenly pointed his hand at a certain direction.

Cao Jun Military Academy subconsciously turned his head to look, but in the end he saw nothing, he felt panic!

Before I could react, I felt a sharp pain in my throat!

『Geeh…』

Cao Jun Military Academy, who was covering his throat, fell down.

『…』 Cai He looked at the sword in his hand and suddenly smiled bitterly, 『It’s really bloody when he is unsheathed...』

Cai He's escort was startled, "Captain, you..."

Cai He looked over and said, "Why are you standing there? Find a place to throw it into the water! He said he was hit by the trap and died!"

The guard quickly answered, paused, and said, "But if General Cao's side..."

"Roy!" Cai He slashed on the side of the ship with a fierce knife, "That guy just wants our Cai family to die! He dies in vain!"

Cao Ren asked Cai He to help guard the Pass, but did not give a defense period. He did not even mention the requirements and post-war rewards. He just left a sword, implicitly threatened.

There is also a Cao Jun Military Academy called assistance, which is actually surveillance, and even attempts to undermine him, and often question his orders!

What does Cao Ren want to do?

Is it still difficult to guess?

Cai He is just not capable, he is not stupid!

"But..." The guard was still a little worried.

『But that's a big deal!" Cai He cursed, 『I'll retreat today, come again tomorrow, come again the day after tomorrow, I'll be on the water anyway! Isn't this just right if I don't come out? I'm also worried that they will really come out! If they don't come, they will fight their own! If the Pass is lost, they will run first! We can also get some credit for protecting the withdrawal!"

Seeing that Cai He had made a decision, the guards couldn't say anything else.

Cai He waved his hand, "Retreat! Retreat!"

...

...

Without Cai He's support, the Death Pass would be somewhat unbearable.

After two days of pulling, the defense of the Ice Pass finally had a loophole and quickly collapsed.

The broken window effect is also applicable to urban defense.

One collapse will collapse everywhere.

The guards of the Pass finally raised fire in the city, burning and stopping Li Dianjun, in order to burn the food, grass and equipment that they had no time to take away...

Li Dian sent soldiers to the pass to put out the fire, but the fire was everywhere. Even if the pass was right by the river, it was difficult to extinguish it quickly. Many places were burned, and the grains, grass, granaries, etc. were even turned into scorched earth.

The sound of war drums gradually faded into the mountains, forests and rivers, and the remaining afterglow turned into painful crying and moans.

Li Dian looked at the last big flag of Cao on the city wall falling in the flames, and his fingers under the iron armor were deeply pinching into the palm of his palm.

The charred ladder was stuck in the gap in the city wall, and blood was winding into a stream along the cracks of bricks.

Li Dian walked on the battlefield and watched his subordinates sort out the wreckage of the battlefield bit by bit.

Soon, he found the young messenger.

The young man who always blushed and tried to send the command with the greatest voice fell on his back in the mud, and the blood spurted out of the arrows as they penetrated his neck condensed into dark red patterns on his armor.

"call……"

Li Dian exhaled a long breath, stood beside the corpse of the messenger, and left silently for a long time.

The day after conquering the Pass, Li Dian began to clean up the pass and adjust civil affairs.

While sorting out matters, we wait for the subsequent food and grass to arrive here.

From the morning to the evening, at dusk, the casualties statistics in the army were finally reported to Li Dian's desk.

Li Dian placed this volume of the list of deaths next to the food and grass list and the city defense map.

Starting from Nanzheng, he conquered cities and land all the way, and he did achieve many achievements, but also many people died, many of them were soldiers trained by Li Dian after he arrived in Hanzhong.

The sunset is like blood.

Of course, Li Dian never expected that this Three Kingdoms war in history would last for 60 years!

Now, Li Dian felt that the war had been long enough and should be calmed down...

Looking at the sunset in the distant mountains and being swallowed up by the mountain line bit by bit, Li Dian couldn't help but sigh.

"The iron armor condenses in the dusk, and the clothes dye blood red.

"The cloud ladder holds the setting sun, and the war drum breaks the sky.

"The blade rolls up and still urges the horse, and the flag is broken and the bow is drawn.
To be continued...
