Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 291 Stop, there is a trap ahead!

The Qingzhou soldiers responded with a bang, holding up their large shields, forming a tight shield wall, and marching forward!
The more Feng Yao ordered the archers to attack, the Qingzhou soldiers felt more at ease!
"Shoot!! Shoot!! Don't let the enemy attack the mountain!!!"

Feng Yao's anxious roar reached Chunyu Dao's ears at the foot of the mountain far away!

"My lord! We have no more arrows!" At this time, almost all Xiong Wei had to stop their attacks, only Xiong Wei in twos and threes were still shooting the last arrow.

With the last few bowstrings, everyone's eyes turned to Feng Yao.

"Look below! Haha, the enemy has fallen into the trap by himself!" At this moment, a county soldier who was in fear suddenly cried out in surprise!
"Really, hahaha! The enemy has been tricked!"

At the foot of the mountain, Director Chunyu was dumbfounded at this moment, watching the Qingzhou soldiers who were alive just now, like dumplings, plopping into the trap, the screams continued to come up, and the Qingzhou soldiers with the shield behind them The soldier, whose sight was blocked by the thick shield wall, didn't know what was going on, but didn't dare to stop without authorization, and continued to move forward with great strides!

Director Chunyu slapped the Jiling, he woke up abruptly, and shouted: "Stop! Stop! There is a trap ahead!"

The soldiers from Qingzhou made a commotion, and finally stopped. Feeling that the bows and arrows on the mountain had stopped, they moved away their big shields one after another.

The Qingzhou soldiers standing in the front row showed a look of horror in their eyes. In front of them was a deep pit two or three feet deep. The sharp wooden stakes in the pit were covered with bloody red blood, and some even had intestines hanging on them. , while at the bottom of the pit, there were countless Qingzhou soldiers struggling desperately, screaming in pain, and some who were not seriously injured stepped on the corpses below, raised their hands and shouted for help!
The Qingzhou soldiers in the front row turned pale with fright, and retreated desperately. Just one step away, they became part of the pit. Even now, as long as the soldiers behind squeeze a little harder, they will also fall!

"Quickly retreat, step back a little! Make room!" Some generals shouted loudly.

Director Chunyu had turned from shock to anger at this time, and the object of this anger was Feng Yao on the top of the mountain. At some point on the top of the mountain, a big flag had been erected, representing Feng Yao's status as a state herdsman!
"Feng Yao!!! If you have the guts, come down the mountain and fight with me, Chunyu!! I will personally behead you!!" Chunyu shouted angrily, looking up.

On the other side of Zishui

The Qingzhou soldiers led by Chang Diao had to move a little slower. Seeing that Chunyu's leader had fallen into a trap, he was shocked. When the army was urgently ordered to stop, no more than 100 Qingzhou soldiers fell down, but compared with Chunyu's leader, the casualties were lower. Much less!
After losing the first battle, the Qingzhou soldiers lost their spirit. Both Chang Diao and Chunyu Dao retreated 200 meters at the same time, they were out of the range of bows and arrows, stopped, and sent out spies again!

At the same time, Cao Ren's main force in the rear is also approaching quickly!
"Captain Chunyu! What about the injured brothers in the pit?" Several directors came to Chunyu and asked.

"I guess Feng Yao's arrows have been used up. You each send people to rescue the injured brother. Also, after saving the people, you have to find out all the traps and fill them up! Wait for General Cao's army to come. , and then gather troops to attack up the mountain!!" Director Chunyu said with anger in his eyes, holding back his anger.

On the mountain
Yang Wu and Dai Ling surrounded Feng Yao with smiles, and the county soldiers and young men looked at Feng Yao with a trace of admiration in their eyes.

"My lord, how shall we deal with Cao Ren's army?" Yang Wu asked.

"It's nothing, just wait for Cao Ren to be anxious and eager to regain Laiwu City, and then he will take the initiative to attack. In addition, just ask the sky not to rain. Today's weather looks a bit gloomy!" Feng Yao laughed.

For Cao Ren, Feng Yao is basically determined. Laiwu City is very important to Feng Yao, and it is also related to the success or failure of the Qingzhou battle for Cao Cao. If Feng Yao can gain a firm foothold here, the consequences will be disastrous, so Cao Cao sent his elite Qingzhou soldiers and Cao Ren, who rarely failed in siege battles, to attack!

Just seeing through Cao Ren's eagerness to regain Laiwu City, Feng Yao predicted that Cao Ren would storm up the mountain soon!

"My lord! I heard that Lu Chang is good at leading troops. If he is allowed to attack our rear, our reinforcements will be cut off..." Yang Wu asked again.

"It's okay, as long as Wei Yan quickly captures Banyang, Lu Chang goes deep into Mount Tai, and the food and grass will not last. This is a self-inflicted trap!! When we finish cleaning up Cao Ren, we can catch a job later!" Feng Yao said.

While talking, Feng Yao looked down again, nodded and said: "It seems that Director Chunyu will not attack rashly again for the time being, our army should take advantage of this time to bring in some food, and when Cao Ren's army arrives, we must There will be a big battle!"

"Yes, my lord!" The generals immediately went down and delivered orders separately, ordering the soldiers to sit down, rest, eat and drink.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the mountain shouted and shouted again.

The scouts soon came to report: Cao Ren's army had gathered all the way, all along the west bank of the Zishui River, and had arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Feng Yao hurriedly led the generals to stand on the high platform and look over. Sure enough, as the scouts said, the enemy army at the foot of the mountain is huge, nearly 9000 people are all concentrated on the west bank, while on the east bank, there are still only Chang Diao's [-] troops.

"It seems that Cao Ren has changed his strategy and wants to concentrate superior forces to break through our route. This is indeed a trouble. If we continue to delay, Cao Ren may see through our strategy!" Feng Yao frowned.

"My lord, when the scouts came to tell the time just now, it seems that Cao Ren didn't bring an archer this time? Then can we..." Yang Wu clasped his fists and said.

"That's true, do you have any good plan?" Feng Yao said.

"Yes, my subordinates believe that Cao Ren suffered a defeat just now, and now even if he is impatient, he will proceed cautiously. If Cao Ren adopts a step-by-step attack method and slowly pushes towards the mountain, our plan may fail! It's not as good as me Lead the cavalry to rush down the mountain and lead the enemy soldiers up the mountain!" Yang Wu said.

Hearing this, Feng Yao's eyes lit up. He glanced at the eager followers behind him, and then looked at the terrain of the hillside. If he rode a horse, he could still climb up the mountain without being trapped by the enemy.

"This plan is good, but if it is to lure the enemy, I should go there in person, it will have the greatest effect!" Feng Yao said.

"My lord! You can't put yourself in danger! Just leave the task of luring the enemy to your subordinates!" Yang Wu immediately dissuaded.

Feng Yao shook his head, "If Cao Ren can't be lured into this battle, even if the [-] soldiers on this mountain try to block it, there will be heavy casualties! If Cao Cao sends a large army again, how can we stop it? No, if I Don't use your life, how can you want the soldiers to use their lives! Don't persuade them, go and prepare the horses!!"

Yang Wu didn't dare to disobey his order, so he went away loudly, Feng Yao called Dai Ling and said, "Dai Ling, when I run back, if there are too many enemy soldiers, you can throw the smaller stones without grass first. Go down a few yuan and scare the enemy, so that Cao Ren can safely lead the army to attack!"
