Chapter 39: To Each His Heart
Unable to wait for the soldiers who had infiltrated the enemy camp to come back, Ning Qingyun knew in his heart that the plan had failed.
Before dawn, he summoned all his generals and told them to send orders down and be ready for battle at any time. He believed that it would not be long before news of an enemy attack would arrive at the outpost.
Sure enough, when the first rays of dawn hit the earth, the horn sounded, and the Ning army was ready to go, but the morale was not high.
The defeat in the past few days, coupled with the sharp increase in the number of dead and wounded, has made the morale of the Ning army low.
Seeing this situation, Ning Qingyun was doomed to defeat before he went to the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the wolf ambitions of Yasukuni and the Shengxing Dynasty are conspiring to annex our Daning, and there are no eggs under the nest, if the enemy army captures the pass, it will invade the territory of our Daning on a large scale and attack the capital, and how many people will be displaced wherever they go?"
He paused, and saw that everyone had a solemn expression, no longer depressed, and said with more strength: "All the soldiers, the country is ruined, and the family is safe? Only by defeating the enemy can we protect my peace!"
"Defeat the enemy and win, protect my Daning! Defeat the enemy and protect my Daning......"
The soldiers shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind didn't hear what their general said, but the shouts of the soldiers in front were enough to boost their morale, and they shouted one after another.
Chi Xiaoman couldn't help but be shaken by this morale in Ning Qingyun's tent. If it weren't for the hostile position with Ning Qingyun, she actually admired him quite a lot.
He is a good general, and he is also a smart and resolute talent, such as ascending to the throne of Emperor Ning in the future. It will also be a Ming Jun.
I don't know if this battle will survive or die in the end......
However, she believes that Yasukuni should have no intention of destroying Ningguo. Because the destruction of the Ning Kingdom will not get much benefit, but will be cheap and prosperous for nothing. Wei Chimu should understand this.
It's just that the Shengxing Dynasty will not let go of this great opportunity. She doesn't know.
The army marched forward, Ning Qingyun knew that this battle was very important, once this battle was lost, the pass would be broken, there was no natural danger to defend in Ning's internal land, and the army was also gathered here, once it failed here, Ning Guo had only one way to surrender.
In the distance, I saw dust flying ahead. Ning Qingyun shouted: "Listen to Ben Shuai's orders!"
"Yes!"
The allied forces of Yasukuni and the Shengxing Dynasty won several days in a row, and in addition to the capture of the soldiers who came to Ningguo for a night attack last night, the momentum today is like a rainbow, and the speed of the attack is really shocking.
Ning Qingyun saw that the other party was using that strange formation again, although he didn't know how to break the formation, he knew that it was better to break one of his wings than to attack it indiscriminately. In this way, the opponent's formation will be chaotic.
"All the soldiers listen to the order and concentrate on attacking its western flank!" He found that the opponent's formation, the soldiers on the west side seemed to be relatively loose, if they could break it. will be able to surround enemy forces in reverse.
On the other side, Wei Chi Mu saw the direction of the enemy's attack, and seemed to be marching towards the left flank. Immediately ordered to change the formation.
The most powerful thing about the eight formations is that each formation complements each other, and the formation is flexible and changeable. Can be used to confuse enemy forces.
Ning Qingyun was about to break through the western flank of the coalition formation, but unexpectedly, the formation suddenly changed. By the time he reacted, it was too late, half of the Ning State army had been besieged in the formation, even if he himself was among them, he couldn't break through.
The Ning army, who was still outside the formation, saw that the generals were trapped in the enemy's formation, and they were all in chaos for a while, and without the commander's order, these small soldiers could only stay where they were.
"King Dingnan, are you convinced to lose this battle?"
"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. "Losing this battle, to be honest, he has no shame to go back to see his father, but he is unwilling!
He thought that his intelligence was not inferior to King Huai'an, and the defeat in this battle was just a defeat to that formation.
"Naturally, I can't kill you at this time, what about Xiao Man? I heard that Mu Yucheng from Lingxiao Heights Villa brought her to your barracks?"
Ning Qingyun snorted coldly, "I actually fought for a woman." ”
"Each other, isn't your Ning Kingdom also for the sake of the Heavenly Machine Star. If it weren't for the despicable tying of the Heavenly Machine Star to Ningguo, how could this war come about. Wei Chimu was not stirred by his words at all, he was fighting for Xiaoman, but his personal reason, in the country, was to recapture the Tianji Star, and there was a legitimate reason to send troops.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's better to destroy Ning Guo in one fell swoop, they naturally have to hand over the Tianji Star, and I can bring the Tianji Star back to our dynasty. Xuanyuan Yu said impatiently on the side. He knew that King Huai'an and King Dingnan both liked Liuxia, but he and King Dingnan didn't have this kind of grudge, he just wanted to complete his mission, if he could bring back Tianji Star and destroy Ningguo, maybe his father would be overjoyed, not only to exempt him, but also to exempt his mother.
Yu Chimu said with a smile: "If you see Tianji Star first, you can't destroy Ning Guo, Prince Xuanyuan, you can decide for yourself!"
Originally, destroying Ning Guo would not be of much benefit to Yasukuni, even if he got the land, it would not be easy to take care of a prosperous dynasty in the middle, so it didn't matter to Yasukuni whether he could destroy Ning Guo or not, his focus was only to bring back the Tianji Star.
"You-" Although he had long known that King Huai'an was only fighting for the Heavenly Machine Star, it was rare to have this opportunity, and Xuanyuan Yu still wanted to annihilate Ning Guo in one fell swoop.
He wanted to unify the three kingdoms and destroy the Ning Kingdom first, which was not bad for the Shengxing Dynasty. It's a pity that he knows that without the wonderful formation of Yasukuni, it would be quite difficult for the Shengxing Dynasty to destroy Ningguo alone.
"Okay, King Dingnan, hand over the Heavenly Machine Star first! Xuanyuan Yu said compromisedly.
From their conversation, Ning Qingyun heard that Yasukuni actually had no intention of destroying Ning Guo, and that if he could hold peace talks, of course he still had to negotiate peace, and he could not ignore the safety of the people.
"This can't be done, the Celestial Machine Star can't be handed over to you privately by me. But I agree with peace talks. For the sake of the people of Ningguo, he could only put aside his personal honor and dignity and compromise, but the affairs of Tianji Star were not up to him.
"Okay!" Wei Chimu agreed. He didn't want Chi Xiaoman to be brought at this time, it would only make him and Xuanyuan Yu come into conflict face to face, so he had to find a way to make Xuanyuan Yu have no time to rob him of people.
And Xuanyuan Yu's side, if he didn't agree with King Dingnan's statement, he had to agree, he also understood that after the war, he always had to negotiate with Emperor Ning to get a result, and he didn't just want Tianji Star.
After negotiating the conditions, the defeat of Ning was determined, Ning Qingyun had no choice but to raise the flag, and Yasukuni and the Shengxing Dynasty also withdrew their troops.
King Huai'an and Xuanyuan Yu led several generals to follow King Dingnan into Ningguo's pass, waiting for Emperor Ning to come to negotiate peace. (To be continued......)
