Chapter 62 The Black Mountain Army Burns the Mountain
As night fell, insects began to drill out of the ground in the dense forest and started to whine to the fullest.
The late autumn night is desolate, with a cool breeze rolling over dead branches and leaves, hitting the faces of the night watchmen. The soldiers in pain had to use their arms to block the raging autumn wind.
The leaves in the forest rustled and the sound of dead branches colliding, connecting into one piece, rising and falling, and it is easy to hide a person's footsteps in the dense forest.
It was already late at night, and the soldiers patrolling were also sleepy, with dark circles hanging under their eyelids. They tried hard to widen their eyes, dispelling their sleepiness, and constantly twisting their sleepy bodies. They were sleepy in spring, autumn and summer, and they were struggling in the mountains and forests. Every Han soldier was sleepy and tired. Some people even snore when they were standing. They were pushed by their companions, and came to their senses, shook their heads, and held on again, but for a moment, they began to sleepy and nodded again.
Gugu! Gugu!
After two animal chirpings, a slight sound came from the grass near the Han army camp, like the wind blowing fallen leaves.
"There is a situation!"
A Han soldier suddenly shuddered and pushed his companion next to him hard, waking him from his drowsiness.
"What are you doing? I'm suspicious!"
The companion who was pushed opened his eyes, shook his head, tried hard to make himself clear, stared around for a long time, and said complainingly: "Why are you always talking about this day? What's the situation? It's obviously the sound of the wind blowing the leaves."
"Don't be lazy, General has given a special advice. We must strengthen our guard tonight to prevent the Black Mountain Army from stealing camp at night."
"Millennium Army? Those mobs were probably scared by our 300,000 troops. Don't worry! They must not come to steal the camp!"
After a moment, the snoring sounded again, and the Han soldier fell asleep again.
Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it was Yin, and the night entered its deepest moment.
The cautious Han soldier was still forcibly calm. When he was sleepy, he squeezed his thighs hard, not letting himself relax his vigilance, and always keeping alert to the surroundings.
At this moment, the sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves sounded again, and it became more dense. It could be felt that it was definitely not the sound of the fallen leaves. There was a hint of heaviness in it. It should be that if you step gently on the dead leaves, you should move forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the dark night, two sharp arrows broke through the air and headed straight for the throats of the two night watchmen.
"Ah? Not good! It's the enemy!"
The Han soldiers who were on guard at that time suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air, suddenly shuddered, felt a dangerous aura, instinctively twisted their bodies and flashed, and a sharp arrow almost rushed past his chest, and with a clang, he nailed straight to the trunk behind him.
He escaped, but his companions were not so lucky. With a puff, the sharp arrow penetrated his throat, and the snoring stopped abruptly. His eyes were bulging like eggs. He leaned his head and fell to the ground, extinguishing his anger. The cautious Han soldier rolled on the spot with a lazy donkey and hid behind a big tree. Looking at his companion who died tragically, he shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! An enemy attack! People! The Black Mountain Army is robbing the camp!" After that, he turned around and rushed over and hid behind another big tree.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as he left, he was instantly shot by dozens of sharp arrows across the tree trunk that he was just leaning against.
Immediately afterwards, countless figures in black rushed to the Han army's camp in the night. These men in black were all elites of the Black Mountain Army. Seeing that the sneak attack could not be done, they began to quickly kill forward. Although their whereabouts were exposed, they were still busy. At this time, they should try their best to avoid disturbing the Han army. Even if their whereabouts were exposed, the escape of a Han army soldier would not attract the attention of all Han soldiers in an instant.
This is just the outermost area of the Han army. The two soldiers who were watching the night are just secret whistles hidden in the night, and they are still some distance away from the Han army camp.
The Han soldier who escaped by chance was named Ji Hong, an ordinary Han soldier. He was always cautious and alert and worked diligently in carrying out his mission.
Ji Hong rolled and crawled all the way. With his usual solid training, he used trees as a cover, and his figure jumped left and right like a raccoon cat. I don’t know if it was his luck or his agile body, but he actually avoided dozens of shots from the Black Mountain Army and fled into the camp.
Ji Hong fled all the way and shouted that the Han army in the camp had already reacted. The nearby Han soldiers were ready to fight and began to shout loudly, which soon alarmed the Han soldiers in the entire camp.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Han army had just assembled together. In the darkness of the dense forest, a dense array of arrows shot out. Suddenly, hundreds of Han soldiers were caught off guard and were shot sharply.
Although the Han army was a little panicked, it quickly stabilized and began to form a battle formation in a hurry. Although the battle formation was in a hurry, it was still in order and in a tight fit. At this time, the superb soldier quality was fully demonstrated.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
A moment later, the two armies intersected, and the Han soldiers and the Black Mountain soldiers collided head-on. Looking around, the Black Mountain soldiers were tens of thousands of huge, and there were countless reinforcements behind them. Seeing their dense shouts of killing, there were a total of hundreds of thousands.
The Han army temporarily formed a battle formation, with only two thousand people. The Han army shields of two thousand were handed over, and a shield wall was built, which actually blocked the offensive of tens of thousands of Black Mountain troops. With the sound of killing, the Han army camp was even more rapid. The curtains of the tent were lifted, and the burly and tall, powerful generals rushed out with sharp blades in hand, leading the Han army infantry under the tent to launch a fierce charge against the Black Mountain troops.
Killing sounds were everywhere, roaring from the sky. In the night, 50,000 Han soldiers and more than 100,000 Black Mountain soldiers fought stalemate.
The same battle situation was staged at the same time in four places. Since the Han army had already made preparations, the Black Mountain Army's night attack did not cause too much casualties to the Han army, but instead suffered losses to the generals.
Fang Yue, Han Hao, Xiahou Lan, Gao Sheng, and four armies were stationed in four directions, southeast, west and north, respectively. These four directions fought against the Heishan Army at the same time. When it came to the Hu Ben Army in the middle, they were condescending, but they were not harassed by any Heishan Army.
Han Hao, Xiahou Lan, Gao Sheng's three-way army fought back, and severely damaged the Heishan Army who robbed the camp at night. Fang Yue's army had outstanding results in fighting. He designed to subdue the enemy and almost wiped out all the Heishan Army who stormed the camp at night. Fang Yue also became famous in one battle and became the most capable commander among the four armies in the southeast, west and north, and his reputation occupies the first of the four commanders.
Fang Yue became famous, and another soldier, Ji Hong, also became famous in one battle.
The army of various corpses planted hundreds of secret whistles, more than half of which were strangled by the Black Mountain Army, and the others quietly returned to the camp to inform them. Anyone who was discovered by the Black Mountain Army was strangled on the spot. When they were discovered, facing countless shots from the Black Mountain Army, only Ji Hong successfully fled back to the camp.
Afterwards, Ji Hong's incident was spread, and Yan Rong personally commended the soldier. The soul power of the heavenly-level strong man is extremely strong. He can cover a small area through the power of his soul and check the surrounding aura at all times. Within this range, the strength of the soul power cannot escape the magical eyes of the heavenly-level strong man. Ji Hong is actually a person with quite strong soul power. Such a person is extremely rare. As long as his physical strength can be improved, his cultivation will increase rapidly and he will soon reach the peak of the human level. Yan Rong discovered Ji Hong's uniqueness, and even directly recruited Ji Hong to his body, becoming the third personal guard after Zhang Yuan and Ma Yi.
The Heishan Army sent a total of 500,000 troops to rob the camp. Such a powerful lineup was originally intended to directly destroy the Han army's 200,000 troops in the southeast, west and northeastern four routes. Even if they could not completely wipe out these Han troops, they would still strangle the 100,000 Han troops. But they did not expect that the Han army was prepared for it. Their failure to rob the camp at night did not damage the Han army, but was defeated by the Han army and suffered heavy losses.
When the camp was robbed, 500,000 Black Mountain troops were sent. By the time they were defeated and returned, nearly 100,000 soldiers had been lost.
The Black Mountain Army retreated like a tide. After a moment, blue smoke rose and gradually turned into smoke and dust.
As Yan Rong expected, the Heishan Army failed to rob the camp, so it began to set fire to the mountains, and the continuous mountains turned into a sea of fire. In the sea of fire, the Han army camp was like several small boats in the vast ocean, constantly swaying. Because the Han army cleared all the trees and weeds in the middle of the mountainside in advance, the sea of fire spread to the mountainside and stopped, and it could not affect the mountainside. The Han army camp on the mountain was still as solid as a soup.
The continuous fire burned for three days before it gradually calmed down. If it weren't for the clear springs on the mountain to drink, I'm afraid that even if the Han army was not burned to death by the fire, they would have been thirsty. The fire burned the mountains and the mountain became unbearable. The Han army was sweating profusely, but fortunately there were sufficient clear springs to replenish water, and there were no uncontrollable tragic events.
