Shannan County of Wei State is the largest county in the northern part of Wei State, and it is also a major county among the five counties of Wei State that is second only to Wei State. Wei State itself is a country with many mountains and hills, and Shannan County is the best among them. More than half of the huge Shannan County is covered by mountains, rolling and towering.

Among the mountains, there is an oval earthen mountain like a big steamed bun on the earth, which is not very eye-catching among the many high mountains and ridges. However, at this time, Han Mo and thousands of soldiers under him were already besieged on this steamed bun mountain.

Han Mo was sitting under a big tree at this time. The armor was already very broken. His helmet was placed aside. His handsome face was still stained with blood. Around him, several generals gathered. Everyone's armor was covered with blood, some of which were even dry and black. Everyone's face was exhausted. Some of them were sitting on the ground, while others were standing against the tree. Some of them were standing and leaning against the tree. Some of them closed their eyes and took a nap in the middle. One of them was even standing on the tree and snoring loudly.

Han Mo was also exhausted, but he suppressed his sleepiness and thought about some things.

Five full days.

During the five days, thousands of soldiers had almost no time to rest and were threatened by the Shannan army attacking from the foot of Mantou Mountain at any time.

When he set out from Tingshui Pass, Han Mo never expected such a situation to happen. Until now, he couldn't figure it out. He was cautious and secretly marched along the way. He was confident that he had achieved the greatest degree of concealment among the continuous mountains. However, why did Sima Haoyue know so much about his whereabouts and even set up a trap. When he unknowingly entered the trap set by them, 20,000 Shannan County had already tightened his hole and surrounded Han Mo and his 4,000 soldiers.

This is a well-designed big trap.

Although Han Mo's marching was secret, Sima Haoyue was even more hidden. His army was not on the path of trapped snakes or on the path of wild wolfs, but was ambushed near the steamed buns.

Han Mo failed to ambush Sima Haoyue as planned, but was beaten to a big ambush by Sima Haoyue.

If it weren't for knowing Han Mo's whereabouts, Sima Haoyue would never have been able to have such a big trap.

Facing the Shannan Army, which was five times higher than our own, Han Mo and his subordinates were not afraid at all and fought bravely. However, facing the Shannan Army, which had absolute superiority in military strength and was good at mountain warfare, Han Mo and his subordinates could only fight and retreat, and were eventually besieged on this Mantou Mountain.

It has been five days since the day of being surrounded.

In the first two days, the Wei army attacked from all sides, trying to defeat Han Mo in one fell swoop, but Han Mo and his subordinates showed enough bravery and strength. Although the deaths and injuries of this side were severe, the casualties in Shannan County were even more serious.

From the third day, Shannan County stopped its continuous attacks. They just launched attacks occasionally, maintaining pressure and threat to the Yan army on the mountain.

Han Mo knew Sima Haoyue’s intention very well.

Sima Haoyue obviously knew that if she continued to attack, the Shannan Army would definitely suffer huge losses, so she adopted another strategy, which was to trap the Yan army on the mountain to death.

This time, the intercepting Sima Haoyue and Han Mo's light army traveled briefly, and he didn't bring much food. When he was fighting with the Wei army, Sima Haoyue ordered the Wei army to launch a ruthless attack on the horse team responsible for the food. The already scarce food and water were lost. When the soldiers retreated to Mantou Mountain, there was no other food except the one-day food they carried.

There were some animals on Mantou Mountain. After being surrounded, Han Mo ordered a hunting team to replenish food. The prey on the mountain was almost wiped out. However, although nearly a thousand people died in battle, there were still nearly three thousand soldiers. The wild animals hunted were impossible to support the consumption of thousands of people.

Sima Haoyue was trapped in Mantou Mountain because she was obviously expecting that the Yan army was short of food and could not last for a few days. When the Yan army was out of food, even if the Yan army did not surrender, the lack of food would inevitably lead to the inability to fight. At that time, whether to attack or trap was to take action, Sima Haoyue decided at will.

The attacks have been launched from time to time in the past few days to keep the stern at all times, thereby aggravating the consumption of the Yan army's physical energy.

Han Mo sent people several times to take advantage of Ye Hei to break through the siege and ask for help from Han Xuanling, but the guards of Shannan Army were too strict. The soldiers sent by Wei's army would be swayed at the foot of the mountain with their spears the next day.

After a few days, Han Mo was exhausted, but he knew that at this time, as the chief general of the army, he could never collapse. In his hands, he held the lives of three thousand subordinates. Once he could not hold on, he would not be able to hold on, and even the three thousand soldiers under him would not be able to hold on.

He leaned against the tree, and what he thought in his mind was why Sima Haoyue used all his troops to surround his thousands of troops.

According to common sense, EYangling is obviously more important than destroying these thousands of people. Sima Haoyue has the lead and can completely draw troops to reinforce EYangling. Even if he draws 10,000 people to go over, he can use EYangling to provide great reinforcements, which can cause huge trouble to the Yan army that attacked EYangling, leaving 10,000 troops to deal with his thousands of people. Even if he cannot be eliminated, he can completely stop it.

But from a tactical perspective, it is good to 20,000 Shannan Army besiege thousands of Yan troops, but from a strategic perspective, this is not the main or secondary.

If Sima Haoyue just wants to annihilate the opponent in front of her and ignore the overall situation, she is indeed an incompetent general. However, Han Mo already knows that Sima Haoyue is definitely not a confused general. In the current situation, the most mediocre general can understand which end is light and which end is heavy, let alone a person like Sima Haoyue.

Since this is the case, Sima Haoyue was trapped in Mantou Mountain despite the evil Yangling, and must have another purpose.

The only possibility that Han Mo thought of was that Sima Haoyue had already known who the head general was leading this army.

There is only such an explanation.

Han Mo's identity is extraordinary. Although his name is for military affairs, he has become the actual number one figure of the Northwest Army after several changes.

If the number one figure in the Northwest Army falls into the hands of the Wei Army, the consequences can be imagined.

At that time, the internal and external troubles of the Yan army would spread rapidly.

Han Mo was able to suppress the Northwest Army, but once Han Mo fell into the enemy or another accident occurred, the Northwest Army would never be as solid as it is now.

The snake cannot do without a head. If it can defeat Han Mo, it will be much more useful for Sima Haoyue than reinforcement of Eyangling. Perhaps in Sima Haoyue's view, if Han Mo can be captured or even killed, the news will spread, and the morale of the Yan army will inevitably be in chaos, and the Wei army will have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

But Han Mo was a little confused. How could Sima Haoyue be so clear about her own appearance, and even knew that the general of the army was the head of the Northwest Army?

In fact, Han Mo had made extremely proper arrangements during this trip. Not to mention that the thousands of men and horses were all disguised as Wei troops, and not to mention the secret and cautiousness of marching along the way. Even before being surrounded by Mantou Mountain, only a very small number of men under his command knew that the general who led the army this time was Han Mo. Most people thought that Wang Siyu was the one who led the troops into Shannan County this time.

As for the purpose of entering Shannan County to intercept Sima Haoyue, only three or four of them knew about the four thousand people.

After setting off from Tingshui Pass, the soldiers only thought that Wang Siyu was leading the army, and did not know that General Han was dressed as a soldier wearing a mask and followed Wang Siyu.

Han Mo was worried that the news would leak out, so he was extremely careful. He knew that there were only more than 20 senior generals among the tens of thousands of Northwest Army.

It is precisely for this reason that Sima Haoyue attacked him with all his might, which made Han Mo vaguely feel that there must be an unusual conspiracy.

...

It was dusk, and half an hour ago, the Wei army launched an attack, but was suppressed by the Yan army again.

Although he was surrounded on the mountain, he was condescending and had a certain advantage in the fight. However, the soldiers of the entire army had not used food for nearly two days, and even if ordinary people did not eat for two days, they would definitely be physically weak, not to mention the soldiers of the Yan army who fought hard for a while.

Now the Yan army soldiers are hungry and exhausted from top to bottom.

If Han Mo had planned, a beautiful ambush should have been launched this time, strangling the important terrain, dragging the Shannan Army, and creating conditions for the Yan army to attack Eyangling.

But the facts became like this now, and Han Mo was quite guilty in his heart. If he hadn't proposed this plan, his soldiers would not have fallen into the current situation of being surrounded and even faced the dilemma of being wiped out by the army.

But he would never show such self-blame on his face.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Zhu Xiaoyan, who was wearing a mask and armor, was covered in blood, and came over here with a spear in his hand. Han Mo turned to look. The eyes under Zhu Xiaoyan's mask were also full of fatigue.

When Zhu Xiaoyan approached, several generals around Han Mo immediately looked up at him, but everyone's expression was very strange, and some people's eyes were filled with unconcealed anger.

Zhu Xiaoyan came forward, still holding the spear in his hand, and said lightly to Han Mo: "White smoke emerged from the rear of the Wei army at the foot of the mountain. It should be cooking, and it should not attack for a while!"

Han Mo nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let's take a rest first!"

Zhu Xiaoyan said: "Our food has been cut off. If this continues, the Wei army will sooner or later attack... we must think of a way."

Han Mo looked grim, pondered slightly, and asked, "Are all the injured brothers settled?"

"Yes." Zhu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "The only ration left is left for them. However, hundreds of brothers were seriously injured in total. Even if the remaining food is only provided to them, they will not last long. The most important thing for them now is that they need medicine. If the injuries cannot be treated early, those wounds can take their lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, a general next to him couldn't help but say, "This march is your guide. I want to ask you, our encirclement of the Wei army really has nothing to do with you?"

As soon as this person finished speaking, several generals next to him immediately held the hilt of the knife, and everyone's eyes were staring at Zhu Xiaoyan like a wolf.
