Chapter 349 Encirclement and reinforcements
three days later.

Wuguan.

As its name suggests, this pass is located on a protruding mountain, overlooking the chaotic mountains in the north. There is only one winding path, which is interrupted and continued. It has the potential of "one man can guard the pass, but ten thousand people cannot open it".

Unlike Yuzhou, which is mountainous, Huaizhou is a plain. After Wuguan, everything is flat.

If Huainan County is the water gateway of Huaizhou, Wuguan is the throat of Huaizhou. If Huainan County is lost, the water benefits will be lost at most, and if Wuguan is lost, it is equivalent to losing Huaizhou.

However, as the throat of Huaizhou, the troops stationed in Wuguan were not many compared to Huainan County, less than 10,000.

It's not that King Huai doesn't value Wuguan, but if he wants to attack Wuguan, he must break through Huainan County, the gateway to Huaizhou. Secondly, Wuguan is a dangerous place and can be defended with only a few soldiers and horses.

Even if Huainan County is defeated, the defenders in the county can retreat to Wuguan.

In the Chinese army camp behind the majestic pass, Liang Xuan was dressed in plain clothes, drinking and chatting with many generals also in plain clothes.

"General Wei, Your Majesty, he has destroyed the Tianshi Army and occupied Fengzhou for a long time. Why haven't he returned yet?" After the atmosphere became tense, a general asked Liang Xuan curiously.

"The prince has his own decision to act. Why do you ask so many questions? Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked." Liang Xuan glanced at the general, then asked his soldiers to come up and remove all the wine, and said: "Your Majesty, No, you all have the responsibility to protect Huaizhou. You can drink, but you can't get drunk. You can all go back to your respective posts later."

His responsibility is to help King Huai defend Huaizhou.

What is wrong with Chen Jun on the other side? He even came over to attack Huainan.
But after a while, there was a commotion, and some generals even cursed Chen Molai.

"Shameless villains like Chen Mo, we have signed a non-aggression treaty with them, and now they are violating the treaty to attack us."

As a result, at this moment, a soldier suddenly ran into the tent, came to Liang Xuan, and handed an urgent letter: "General Wei, General Xiao Yan from Huainan County reported urgently that Chen Jun on the other side has crossed the river. , are attacking Huainan, ask General Wei to quickly send troops to help."

"No." All the generals shouted.

All advantages were in his favor. If Huaizhou could not be defended, Liang Xuan would be able to twist his own head off.

It's a pity that Huaizhou currently only has a few troops. If they go out to attack Linzhou, Huaizhou will become a little girl with a wide open door and can be poked by others.

In order not to arouse Chen Mo's alert, not many people in Huaizhou knew that King Huai was preparing to attack Qingzhou. Only Liang Xuan knew about it in the camp.

"?"

In this regard, Liang Xuan was confident. In terms of men and horses, there were nearly 50,000 troops, complete with swords, armor and arrows, and the geographical advantage.

In terms of the situation, the only people who can attack Huaizhou are the "Chen Army" in Linzhou. According to the latest news, the Wu family has sent troops to involve the Chen Army in Linzhou. The Chen Army stationed in Linzhou are all moving towards Qiantang gathered.

The moment he got the news, he wanted to take Huaizhou's troops to attack Linzhou.

As soon as the words came out, many generals in the big tent were stunned, with some astonishment in their eyes.

"Master Liu Ji was right when he said it before. Chen Mo is someone you can't deal with at all. He is just a treacherous villain."

"..."

Liang Xuan was also a little confused, thinking that he had lost his job. He took the letter and took a look at it, only to see that it said, "Chen Jun landed quietly on the 29th and attacked our city. The attack was fierce, and with the help of Thunder Lord, it was difficult to resist. I suspect that Chen Mo is here in person, so I ask General Wei to rush to help." After reading this, Liang Xuan was even more confused. Didn't the soldiers and horses of Linzhou gather towards Qiantang? Even if they crossed the river to attack Huaizhou, how many troops could be spared? With just this few troops, can it be called a ferocious offensive?
However, his mind was spinning very fast, and he realized that Linzhou's soldiers and horses were all gathering towards Qiantang. It was a fake news released by the other side. The real situation was that after learning that the Wu family had sent troops, Chen Mo realized that the prince was also involved. He got up, so he became angry and mobilized troops to attack Huaizhou for revenge.

Liang Xuan sneered and learned that Chen Mo was driven away by anger and mobilized troops to attack Huaizhou. If he could not capture it for a long time, he would even lose Linzhou.

In this case
Liang Xuan raised his hand: "Bring me the map."

The soldiers brought the map and spread it out in front of Liang Song.

Liang Xuan looked at the map, considered it for a while, and said: "The soldiers and horses in Wuguan cannot be moved. Let Zhao Liang of Beiwu County send 5,000 men and horses to rush to Huainan. There must be no mistake."

"promise."

……

Wuguan was only a hundred miles away from Beiwu County, and there was a post station in the middle. In less than a day, the order was passed to Zhao Liang in Beiwu County.

Zhao Liang was a fifth-grade warrior. There were more than 8,000 people stationed in Beiwu. The moment he received the order, he ordered his deputy general to lead the remaining people to guard Beiwu. He personally led the troops to support Huainan.

The name of the "Mang Mountain" behind Huainan County was told to Chen Mo by Liu Ji.

To the east of Mang Mountain, nearly a thousand soldiers and more than four thousand brave guards were scattered everywhere, and many soldiers were lying in the woods to take advantage of the shade.

In a dense jungle, several heads emerged one after another without others noticing.

"Master Marquis, don't the reinforcements from Wuguan and Beiwu think that the defenders in Huainan can defend it, so they don't send reinforcements?" Luo Yong said.

Since we arrived at Mang Mountain on the 28th, we have been in ambush in Mang Mountain for almost three days.

There are already many poisonous insects, rats, and ants in the mountain forest, and it is a hot day with the sun hanging high in the sky. It is very uncomfortable to stay in this mountain nest.

Chen Mo touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "Wait a little longer. If the enemy's reinforcements don't come, we will attack Huainan."

This hot day is a test of patience, and Chen Mo's patience is not very good, and he was a little irritable at this time.

As a result, just as he finished speaking, the scout came to report: "Master Marquis, the enemy's reinforcements are coming, about three thousand to five thousand troops."

Chen Mo and others immediately retreated and ordered: "Send the order, prepare for battle to meet the enemy, and prepare the crossbowmen."

"The Marquis has given an order to prepare for battle to meet the enemy, and prepare the crossbowmen." The messengers began to pass on the orders one by one.

Zhao Liang has arrived at the official road at the foot of Mang Mountain with a thousand light cavalry and four thousand soldiers. Because Huainan County is waiting for help, Zhao Liang does not dare to waste time. In addition, this is the rear area of ​​Huainan County. Who can own his place? I won't be wary.

In this way, Zhao Liang's men walked into the encirclement set up by Chen Mo.

But Zhao Liang didn't realize it and instead ordered: "We will arrive in Huainan County soon. Send the order and speed up the march."

As a result, the Qingqi riding in front was less than 200 meters away when a burst of dust and smoke suddenly arose in the open space in front of them, and then a hemp rope rose into the air. The horse was tripped by the hemp rope, and people suddenly turned upside down.
