Chapter 319 Yuan He's Trap

On the grassland at the foot of Yanran Mountain, there were a row of big carts. Dozens of horses rode on horseback and rode their horses to speed up. They jumped off their horses, some misinterpreted the pulling of big carts, while others looked through the carts.

After one of them took off one horse and said happily: "It's really a waste of such a tall horse to do horse racing. How rich is the Liang Kingdom in the Han area..."

Before he finished speaking, he was covered by another person's shouting and scolding: "He has nothing, it's all stones and wood. Burn! He burned them all for me!"

Another person laughed and said, "This convoy came out of Yanran Mountain, so naturally it was either stone or wood. We quickly burned them all and brought the horses back to the tribe. If time had come, we might be able to catch up with the battle to annihilate the Liang army."

After a while, these big carts were burning in the blazing flames, and these Yuan He cavalry led their horses to the north.

An hour ago, thousands of Yuan He cavalry attacked hundreds of Liang's baggage troops transporting wood and stone here. The latter had only dozens of war cavalry escorted. In desperation, they could only discard these big chariots, and while sending fast cavalry to break through the encirclement and report to Beimingcheng, they fled towards Yanran Mountain.

Finally, the baggage soldiers fled to a hill, used portable engineer shovels and engineer hoes to dig ravines and build temporary fortifications, and tried to resist thousands of war cavalry with their terrain.

Yuan He's cavalry made a tentative attack, and after dozens of casualties, they gave up the strong attack. They began to cruise around the hills, trapping the Liang soldiers on the hills, but no new attack was launched.

In fact, more Yuan He cavalry had been laid out around, waiting for the Liang army reinforcements to enter their pockets. At the same time, they sent a small number of people to gather the baggage and horses together.

...

At the foot of the northern foot of Yanran Mountain, a hill near the top of the hills had been dug out a whole circle of trenches by the Liang army's baggage soldiers. Hundreds of baggage soldiers hid in the trenches, occasionally peeking at Yuan He's cavalry around under the hills.

The bodies of several Liang soldiers were lying on the grassland not far from the hills. Just now, they saw that the other party was sparsely riding and ventured down the mountain to get water from the Orhun River not far away.

Who knew that as soon as they went down the mountain, they heard the sound of arrows from each other, and immediately rushed over to kill them on the spot.

Now the water carried by these hundreds of Liang soldiers is managed by the management, and each person can only drink one sip every hour.

Not far from the hill, two Hu cavalry were standing on horseback and looking up the hill. One of them asked the other man with a long goatee, "Class leader, do you think Liang Jun can be fooled?"

The older man was named Yao Luoge, and he was the leader of a tribe in the Yuanhe tribe. But now, he is still the leader of several Yuanhe tribes who formed alliances. The reason for this alliance was naturally mainly for the uninvited guest on the grassland - the Lu Bu Legion.

More than two months ago, Lu Bu's army arrived on the banks of the Orkun River. Yao Luoge discovered this situation immediately. At first, he thought that the Han people went deep into the northern part of the Mo River to retaliate against the Xianbei invasion of Liang State, and would launch a single attack on the Xianbei tribes and go on a single attack.

He hurriedly moved his tribe far away from the other party's base to avoid the other party's troops. Unexpectedly, the Han army was silent. He sent someone to investigate and the other party actually built a city on the banks of the Orkun River.

This news shocked him extremely. The Han people went deep into Mobei to build a city, which was unprecedented in ancient times. Even though Huo Qubing went deep into Mobei to sweep across the Huns hundreds of years ago, he had not even built a camp in Mobei.

He immediately thought that the Han army must have planned to carry out long-term suppression of the Xianbei tribes and even the nomadic tribes in the grassland. The first one was of course the Yuanhe tribes in the middle of the Orhun River. As long as the Han people took root here, unless their tribes moved far away, they would be able to hide on the first day of the lunar month and not be able to escape from the fifteenth day.

But how easy is it to move far away? What's more, winter is coming soon, and there is no time to move far away. Yao Luoge finally made up his mind and united the nearby tribes and tribes to fight with each other. He spent more than a month sending out hundreds of messengers, and himself traveled thousands of miles. Finally, he convinced more than 20 tribes of all sizes to join forces to fight against Liang.

At this time, Yao Luoge heard the questions from his subordinates and sneered: "It doesn't matter if they are not deceived. We will annihilate the hundreds of Han people in front of us first. There are only three or four thousand people who come to the grassland. We are just like this, just to see how long they can last."

...

In Beiming City, Lu Bu personally led the two battalions of heavy cavalry and the two battalions of light cavalry to go out, and on the grassland was like a long snake winding southward.

On a slope hundreds of wars, two Yuan He people hidden in the grass showed surprise on their faces. The older one said, "The Han people have finally been fooled. You go and inform the leaders."

The young man agreed, got up and ran to the slope, got up and got on a mount hidden here, and whipped away.

Half an hour later, the rolling war cavalry rushed from the sky like dark clouds toward the Beiming City, as many as three or four thousand.

After they rode their horses to approach Beiming City, they circled around Beiming City and shot arrows densely into Beiming City. At first, they were ordinary arrows, but in the end they turned into rockets.

A rocket fell into Beiming City like a fire meteor. It was autumn. The grass plants on the grasslands in the northern desert had already withered and yellow, not to mention that Beiming City was mostly made of temporary wooden buildings.

Logically, these rockets were enough to burn a fire. But except for a few wisps of blue smoke, there was no big reaction.

The Yuan He cavalry held the reins in one hand, and one of the free-standing hands was swinging an object connected by a rope. The object was actually burning. As soon as they let go, the high-speed rotating objects flew out and were thrown hard towards the unfinished wooden wall of Beiming City.

These things are made of skins made of paper-thin marmot skins. They are filled with a mixture of lamp oil and butter and mutton oil. They will break after a violent impact. Outside, they are also flammable materials such as hay and catkins are wrapped around. Yuan He's army attempted to burn the city walls of Beiming with this.

Lamp oil is also a rare thing on the barren grasslands in the northern desert. These Yuan He people used it as weapons, which shows that they were willing to spend all their money.

With the fluffy sounds, these oil capsules hit the city wall or fell on the top of the city. They ignited piles of fires and quickly burned the hay, catkins and other items wrapped outside the capsules, but failed to ignite the wooden city wall. It turned out that the wooden city wall had long been soaked with water by Liang Bing.

The leader of the Yuan He people, who were in charge, shouted angrily: "The Han people are cunning and have been prepared for a long time. They don't need to burn them anymore and attack the city directly." After that, he personally threw out the hook claws that the Xianbei people were used to. The rest of them followed suit.

Countless hooks and claws flew towards the head of Beiming City with overwhelming claws. Countless figures jumped up from the saddle, grabbed the rope, and quickly climbed up along the unfinished low head of Beiming City...
