Chapter 884

Chu Xizhao originally set up 45 fortified strongholds in various dangerous places within Tianqi Mountain, but before the arrival of the old emperor, twelve of them were breached under the fierce offensive of the coalition forces.

After the arrival of the old emperor Huangfu Yue, considering that the current military strength was seriously insufficient compared to before, coupled with the problem of morale, he directly and voluntarily gave up 23 fortresses and concentrated his troops to defend the ten strongest fortresses.

To be reasonable, even though everyone is also a god-level commander, there is still a gap between the old emperor and Chu Xizhao.The most important thing is that compared to Chu Xizhao's all-rounder, Lao Huang is really not good at defense. His favorite thing is to attack, attack and then attack.

Of course, although the old emperor is not good at defense, the foundation is there after all. Unless he meets a famous general who specializes in defense, otherwise the old emperor is definitely stronger than others.

Faced with hundreds of thousands of coalition forces, the old emperor Huangfu Yue wisely chose the tactic of procrastinating to delay the coalition attack as much as possible.

After all, Huangfu Yue has retired to the background for many years. Although there are still legends about him in the army, he certainly cannot be compared with the military god Chu Xizhao.Chu Xizhao's death in battle, even if Huangfu Yue stepped forward in time, could not make up for the damage to morale in the middle.

The old emperor Huangfu Yue needs to buy more time and find a way to restore the morale of the army.If there is no way to guarantee morale, half of the battle has already been lost before the fight is over.

On the way of the coalition's march, the old emperor set up a lot of traps, delaying the coalition's march and at the same time killing and wounding the coalition's vital forces.

But no matter Wang Yu, or Xuanyuan Huang, or even the Three Kings, they have never been soft-hearted people!How could it be possible for their own people to test these traps? Everyone under them has a large number of suitable candidates to test these traps.

So, everyone selected some captives, mobilized a total of [-] captives, and forced them to use their flesh and blood to help them smash these traps one by one.

Whether it is Wang Yu, or Xuanyuan Huang, or even the Three Kings, due to the huge number of prisoners this time, although they all made the choice of transporting the prisoners to the rear tacitly, due to the consideration of the battle ahead, everyone transported them to the rear. The number of captives was limited, and like Wang Yu, they basically didn't choose to use them back at once, but transported them in batches.

Therefore, this ability can also draw a certain number of captives.

Because of this, Huangfu Yue killed and injured 5000 people without a single soldier, but he was not happy at all.

The subsequent offensive and defensive battles are destined to be as tragic as ever.

The Ten Battalions of Tianqi Mountain were all based on dangerous camps. In addition to the narrow mountain roads, it was difficult for the coalition forces to display their superiority in strength. Every camp was a huge trouble for them.

Of course, for the coalition forces, it is not a complete disadvantage.The mountain road of Tianqi Mountain is winding and winding. Although the ten camps have guarded all the most critical nodes, since there is more than one entrance to the mountain, this also means that the coalition forces are attacking in more than one direction.

Under the falsehood and reality, it is impossible for Huangfu Yue to grasp which path they are mainly attacking.To a certain extent, the power of the Forbidden Army is destined to be dispersed.

And if the coalition forces want to open the way, it doesn't mean that all ten battalions must be broken.These ten camps guard all the roads of Tianqi Mountain, not just one road.

Of course, no matter which way to go, at least three big camps must be broken through, and at least three camps must be broken through to completely open up a road out of Tianqi Mountain.

Han Xin's false and real march made it impossible for Huangfu Yue to determine which main attack route Han Xin chose. At this time, he should remain unchanged and respond to all changes. When Han Xin took the initiative to make a move, he could determine Han Xin's real attack route. It is better to have a target.

However, Huangfu Yue did the opposite, and instead chose to take the initiative to attack at this time.

First, when everyone thinks that you should stay the same and respond to all changes, you can take the initiative to attack in the opposite way, and you can catch the opponent by surprise.

Secondly, Huangfu Yue advocated offense more than defense in his bones.

Thirdly, and the most important point, Huangfu Yue subconsciously believed that they needed to fight this battle, or that they needed to win a battle now to save the morale of the army that had been lost because of Chu Xizhao's defeat.Even if it's just a small victory, it will still be useful at such critical times.

So, even if he took some risks, he still chose to fight this battle.

Han Xin sent a total of three vanguards, each attacking 5000 people, marching from three different roads.The three-way vanguard, in addition to being used as a pathfinder, also has a confusing effect.

In the first route, Wang Yu's general Hu Luguang was the main general, King Jing's general Bai Shanfei and Cheng Wang's general Jiang Tianmu were the deputy generals.

In the second route, King Jing's general Yuan Shao was the main general, Han Meng and Tianshidao general Tang Qi were the deputy generals.

In the third route, Yi Dingzhi, the general of King Cheng, was the main general, Wang Yu's fierce general Wenpin and Wei Wang's fierce general Deng Tianwang were the deputy generals.

Huangfu Yue took Yu Feng as a general and took the initiative to fight against Hu Luguang of the First Route Army, but Hu Luguang was brave and good at fighting, winning two battles and Yu Feng kept losing.

Hu Luguang took advantage of the victory to pursue, but he was worried that he would fall into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy deep. Once the vanguard army and the large army in the rear were derailed, the large army would not be able to provide rescue in time, and the vanguard army would be in danger.

Therefore, while taking advantage of the victory to pursue, Hu Luguang also called Xing Tian and Nangong Qixing from the rear to respond.

The 3000 men under Xingtian and Nangong Qixing are all mountain boys carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. Before joining the army, they were all mountain people. A quick reaction force set up for timely support.

Sure enough, Hu Luguang's worry was not unreasonable. While he was chasing all the way, when he started to draw a certain distance from the large troops behind, he finally encountered the ambush of the forbidden army.

"Fire the arrows." Lu Shenmo shouted and ordered.

The [-] archers ambushing between the two mountains launched an attack immediately after receiving the order. With all the arrows fired, the coalition forces who were caught off guard suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, Yu Fengjun's men, who had fled, re-formed and turned back to attack the coalition forces again. They didn't look like they were defeated at all.

Hu Luguang, who saw this scene, didn't know that he was caught in the trap. The only thing that made him feel lucky was that he had made extra preparations at the time. While chasing after him, he notified Xing Tian and Nangong Qixing behind him. !
Otherwise, he would have really failed this time!
