It's about midnight.
The night is dark.
Thirty miles away from the Yanjun camp in Yehuling, there are many hills.
Just when a group of Yan Jun soldiers were about to complete the work of setting up camp and other matters.
More than two thousand officers and soldiers of the Yan army escorted six thousand Yan people, driving carriages loaded with crossbows, trebuchets, flying stones, kerosene and other baggage.
Slowly walked to the temporary camp of the Yan army that had not yet completely landed.
The carriage loaded with baggage arrived at the temporary camp of the Yan army.
Even though there were a thousand soldiers who had already arrived at Camp A and Camp B, they quickly stepped forward.
The dismantled small trebuchets and jars of coarse porcelain jars filled with kerosene were moved from the carriage.
Then he was tied to the back of the packhorse that had been prepared for a long time.
at the same time.
After a brief greeting, Chang Sanjin, the leader of Qianhu, led the army and accompanied the civilian husband and baggage.
He immediately got on his horse again and headed straight for the Chinese army's tent in the distance.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
Chang Sanjin turned over and dismounted a hundred steps away from the Chinese army's tent.
"Go to the camp first and lead the troops of thousands of households. Chang Sanjin comes to return."
"I hope you will report to the prince quickly."
Chang Sanjin cupped his fists facing the Chinese army guards on both sides of him.
"Chang Qianhu, please wait a moment."
The first Chinese army guard returned the salute with clasped fists, and then walked quickly towards the Chinese army's tent.
Not long after.
The leading Chinese army guard returned to Chang Sanjin again.
"Your Majesty invites you."
"Chang Qianhu, please come with me."
The first guard of the Chinese army stretched out his hand in greeting.
"Thank you."
Chang Sanjin clasped his fists again, then removed the sword from his waist and handed it to a Chinese army guard beside him.
Then, following closely behind the leading Chinese army bodyguard, they headed straight towards the Chinese army's tent.
"My lord."
"Chang Qianhu has arrived."
The leader of the Chinese army's personal guards marched to the front of the Chinese army's tent, and once again leaned down to pass the passage facing the Chinese army's tent.
"Enter."
"yes."
After Xu Yi agreed, the leading guard of the Central Army immediately opened the tent curtain and extended his hand to invite me again: "I would like to invite you from thousands of families."
"Thank you." Chang Sanjin clasped his fists again.
Then he walked to the Chinese army's tent.
"The last general will first go to the camp and lead thousands of troops, Chang Sanjin, to pay homage to the prince."
Chang Sanjin walked three steps away from the top, then faced Xu Yi, who was sitting on the Supreme Master's chair, and bowed deeply, clasping his fists and saluting.
"No gift."
Xu Yi waved his hands slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chang Sanjin once again leaned over and held his fists in thanksgiving salute.
"Have you had a smooth trip?"
Xu Yi asked.
"Go back to your lord."
"Although it's dark and the mountain road is difficult to navigate."
"But overall it's been a smooth journey."
"There was no carriage crash on the way and there were no casualties."
Chang Sanjin answered truthfully.
"As long as it goes well."
"Did you see Ye Qianhu after returning to camp?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then asked again.
"Go back to your lord."
"The last general met Ye Qianhu."
"At this time, Ye Qianhu was taking the lead in camp A and B. The soldiers were busy unloading small trebuchets, kerosene and other items."
Hearing this, Chang Sanjin answered truthfully again.
"It's getting late."
"Leave a thousand soldiers to help Ye Qianhu carry it."
"Take the rest of the people to the southeast of the camp to rest."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then gave instructions.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Sanjin immediately sat upright on the Supreme Master's chair again.
Xu Yi bowed deeply, clasped his fists in a salute, and then left.
Wait until Chang Sanjin's figure completely disappears behind the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then stood up and left the Grand Master's chair, and walked slowly and quickly to the map hanging on the side of the tent.
He looked at the Corpse Chaser King's camp, which was only twenty-five miles away on the map, with an extremely calm expression.
Not long after.
Suddenly, the voice of the Chinese army's personal guards came from outside the Chinese army's tent.
"Your Majesty."
"First go to the camp to scout Qu Bo Changkang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi to ask for an audience."
The Chinese army guard just now walked to the front of the Chinese army's tent again.
"allow."
Xu Yi took a deep look at the place marked as the Corpse Chaser's Camp on the map, and then said yes.
Not long after.
The two most outstanding uncles who arrived at the camp first to scout Qu came to the Chinese army's tent one after another.
"First come to the camp to scout Jiaqu Bo, who is happy and happy to pay homage to the prince."
Kang Shouxi walked five steps behind Xu Yi, then faced Xu Yi's back, leaned down deeply, clasped his fists and saluted.
"I'll go to the camp first to scout Cao Zezhi, the commander of Uncle Yiqu, and pay homage to the prince."
Cao Zezhi, who was half-step behind the scenes of Kangshouxi, followed closely and leaned down deeply, cupping his fists and saluting.
"Is there anything unusual in the Corpse Chaser King's camp?"
Xu Yi turned his back to Kang and Cao and asked.
"Go back to your lord."
"There is nothing unusual about the Corpse Chaser King's camp."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi answered in unison.
"Keep staring."
"But there's nothing unusual about the Corpse Chaser King's camp."
"Be sure to report the news to Ye Qianhu as soon as possible."
"And send someone to inform Gu Yiyi."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then gave instructions.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order, then retreated.
After Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi completely disappeared behind the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi stared at the map again for a long moment, then turned around and walked to the Supreme Master's chair and sat down firmly.
Waiting for the arrival of Ye Guolu, the leader of Qianhu, who will first ascend to camp A and B.
And this wait lasted more than a quarter of an hour.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
Ye Guolu, who was wearing a full black phoenix-winged armor and bright light armor, was led by the Chinese army's personal guards to the Chinese army's tent.
"The last general will first go to the camp and lead thousands of troops, Ye Guolu, to pay homage to the prince."
Ye Guolu stopped three steps away, then faced Xu Yi, who was sitting on the Supreme Master's chair, and bowed deeply with his fists clasped in a salute.
"No gift."
Xu Yi nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Ye Guolu immediately cupped his fists again and expressed his thanks.
"How are you preparing the small trebuchet and kerosene?"
After Ye Guolu stood up completely, Xu Yi immediately asked.
"Go back to your lord."
"Three hundred small trebuchets, three hundred counterweight stones, and six hundred jars of fire oil are all ready."
Ye Guolu cupped his fists and answered truthfully.
The trebuchets used in the Zhou Dynasty can be roughly divided into three categories: small, medium and large according to their size and the weight of the trebuchets.
Among them, small trebuchets are often equipped with a single tip and one to ten machine ropes.
The so-called single tip is a long wooden pole fixed above the trebuchet. Its function is what later generations often call leverage.
The so-called machine rope is a thick rope that can be pulled.
The more trebuchet tips there are, the greater the weight of the stone projectiles that can be thrown, and the more trebuchets need to be configured.
The corresponding size will also become larger, and naturally more manpower will be required.
In terms of power and manpower required.
A small trebuchet with a single tip and a single rope can throw stones each time
One piece.
The stone bullets used weigh about one to three kilograms.
It can be thrown a distance of about three hundred steps.
When in use, only two people can control it.
When throwing a stone projectile, one person should aim and release it first. After the aim and release is completed, another person should tug on the machine rope.
When the single tip and one end of the machine rope suddenly fell down.
The leather socket at the other end will be quickly thrown up, and the stone bullets placed in it will be thrown out with great inertia.
Most of the trebuchets that Xu Yi ordered his people to transport from Yandi to Yehuling were small trebuchets that could be controlled by two people.
There are thousands of such small trebuchets alone in the Yanjun camp.
As for the medium-sized trebuchet, which requires forty people to control it at the same time and can fly thirty or forty kilograms of rocks.
Xu Yize only ordered fifty frames to be transported.
As for the large trebuchet, which requires one or two hundred people to control at the same time and can fly eighty to one hundred kilograms of rocks.
This is a huge and powerful siege weapon.
There is not even half a frame in King Yan's camp, so it is naturally impossible to have one here.
The Yan army temporarily camped in the Chinese army's tent.
Hearing this, Xu Yi turned his head slightly and glanced at the engraving on the side of the desk.
Unknowingly, most of the time has passed.
"Captain Xin."
"Bring me the wine!"
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then stood up from the Grand Master's chair.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Xin Sixuan immediately walked to Xu Yi carrying the Youning wine and two large porcelain bowls that had been prepared.
Xu Yi picked up the wine jar and poured two bowls of wine, then stepped away from the Grand Master's chair and walked to Ye Guolu.
Then he handed one of the bowls of wine to Ye Guolu.
"I will thank the prince for the wine!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Guolu immediately leaned over and took the wine bowl handed by Xu Yi with both hands.
"Everything is ready."
"Then let's set off immediately."
"I'm here alone with a glass of wine. I wish Ye Qianhu success! Return safely!"
"After this battle is over! Let's have a good drink with Ye Qianhu and all the soldiers under his command!"
Xu Yi picked up the wine bowl in his hand, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"Even if I don't leave this place, I'm going to stir up a lot of corpses!"
Ye Guolu immediately spoke solemnly after hearing this.
The words are over.
Ye Guolu raised the wine bowl in his hand, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
"Return to the orphan intact."
"I'm waiting for you here alone."
Xu Yi patted Ye Guolu's shoulder heavily, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"I will go eventually!"
Hearing this, Ye Guolu's eyes turned red for no reason, and he immediately faced Xu Yi again and bowed deeply, clasping his fists and saluting.
Then he slowly retired and left.
When Ye Guolu's figure completely disappeared behind the Chinese army's tent.
Xin Sixuan took the empty wine bowl from Xu Yi, and then looked at Xu Yi again with concern.
"It's getting late."
"Your Majesty will still need to command the battle tomorrow."
"We might as well let the general stay on duty tonight."
Xin Sixuan briefly composed himself, then bowed his head and said.
"It doesn't matter."
"Let's go back and rest."
Xu Yi waved his hand and declined politely.
"yes."
Seeing that Xu Yi had made up his mind, Xin Sixuan had no choice but to lean over and clasp his fists to take orders, then slowly retreated.
When Xin Sixuan's figure completely disappeared behind the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi pulled a cashmere blanket from one side of the tent, and then walked to the Grand Master's chair again.
Then he sat down firmly, leaned back in the chair, covered himself with a cashmere blanket and closed his eyes to relax.
at the same time.
Thousands of soldiers of the Yan army who first ascended to camp A and B were led by Ye Guolu, the leader of Qianhu.
One person and three horses, with horses' hooves bound and people's hooves bound, went straight to the Corpse King's camp twenty-five miles away.
.......
.......
Ugly time.
The night is dark and windy.
First, a thousand soldiers ascended Camp A and Camp B and marched quietly to five miles away from the Corpse King's camp.
Just when the soldiers who had first ascended to camp A and B dismounted from their horses for the final rest.
Suddenly, there were several rhythmic chirping sounds from not far away.
Not long after.
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi each led several scouts to Ye Guolu.
"First came the camp scout Jiaqubo Changkang Shouxi to pay homage to Ye Qianhu."
"First, we went to the camp to scout Yiqubo Chief Cao Zezhi and paid homage to Ye Qianhu."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi clasped their fists in a low voice and said politely.
"Is there anything unusual about the Corpse Chaser's camp?"
Ye Guolu nodded slightly and then asked in a low voice.
"Go back to Ye Qianhu."
"There is nothing unusual about the Corpse Chaser's camp."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi replied in a low voice.
"How long will it take to remove all the nails along the way?"
Ye Guolu asked in a low voice again.
"Go back to Ye Qianhu."
"It will take at least a quarter of an hour to pull them all out."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi replied in a low voice.
If it weren't for the Hun scouts lurking five miles away from the Corpse Chaser King's camp, they would have to change their defenses every half an hour.
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi had already led their soldiers to remove them all.
"Start immediately and remove all the nails along the way."
Ye Guolu nodded slightly, and then ordered in a low voice.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order, then retreated.
After Kang Shouxi, Cao Zezhi and others completely disappeared into the darkness.
Ye Guolu sat on the ground next to his horse, closing his eyes and silently counting the time.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
Several rhythmic insect chirps were heard not far away again.
The moment I heard the chirping of insects.
Ye Guolu opened his eyes instantly and stood up from the ground.
Not long after.
Several black figures walked out of the darkness again.
"Report to Ye Qianhu."
"All the nails ahead have been removed."
"We also ask Ye Qianhu to lead his army and follow us."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi walked to Ye Guolu again with a slight smell of blood.
"good!"
"Set off!"
Ye Guolu nodded slightly, then got on his horse and ordered in a deep voice.
The words are over.
Ye Guolu immediately drove his horse forward slowly.
After the thousands of soldiers under his command received the order.
They immediately dispersed and walked slowly towards the Corpse Chaser King's camp.
Five miles away.
No matter how slow the march is, the entire journey can be completed in a quarter of an hour or two.
"dismount!"
More than a quarter of an hour later.
Ye Guolu stopped four hundred steps away from the Corpse King's camp, and then ordered in a low voice.
The distance of four hundred steps is neither far nor close.
This distance can ensure that the figures of the soldiers under his command are not discovered by the Huns patrolling soldiers.
You can also order the soldiers who stay behind to wait until the soldiers in front complete the battle plan here.
Drive your horse forward at the fastest speed and in the shortest time to respond.
The words are over.
The thousands of soldiers who first arrived at the camp all turned over and dismounted without saying a word.
"Disassemble the trebuchet and kerosene!"
Chang Sanjin ordered in a low voice again.
The words are over.
The thousands of soldiers who first arrived at the camp all silently carried out military orders.
at the same time.
Kang Shouxi, Cao Zezhi and other two hundred elite scouts also quietly gathered towards the place where Ye Guolu and others were.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
After the three hundred small trebuchets, three hundred counterweight stones, and six hundred jars of fierce fire oil were all unloaded.
Ye Guolu immediately led a thousand soldiers to the camp first to bring 300 small trebuchet parts, 300 counterweight stones and 600 jars of fire oil.
All the slanders were transported to eighty paces away from the Corpse Chaser King's camp.
