Chapter 48: Sneak Attack

"See General Murong. The salute of the guards at the door woke up the crane in the clouds that was resting.

"Eternal worship. The crane in the clouds suddenly sobered up.

As soon as Aligon died, Murong Yongci was the person he trusted the most, and he was supposed to be patrolling at this time, so how could he suddenly run over?

"My lord, I just got a secret report from the spies: King Yelan of Light led an army of 110,000 after a long journey, and has now arrived on the other side of the Heishui River, and is camping and resting. Murong Yongci said.

Yun Zhonghe rubbed his eyes tiredly after hearing this, and casually handed a letter on the table to Murong Yongci.

Murong Yongci took the letter, and after reading a few sentences, his eyes widened, looking surprised.

The letter was sent by King Gong Yeshu to the crane in the clouds, and the general content was that King Guang led an army of 110,000 troops on the other side of the Heishui River, and asked King Dongbo to think about it for himself. - The Crane in the Clouds rebelled and proclaimed himself King of Dongbo.

"Yongxi, what do you think?" asked Yunzhonghefa.

Murong Yongci thought slightly, "What does the lord think?"

"Gong Wang Shu wants to borrow my hand to get rid of Guang Wang Lan, it is said that this is a good opportunity, and according to your intelligence, Gong Wang Shu's words are not inappropriate. It's just that we are on King Yi's side after all, if we cooperate with King Gong this time, I think ......" Yun Zhonghe's words were not finished, but Murong Yongci already understood what he meant.

"My lord, according to my subordinates, there is nothing wrong with this matter. Murong Yong said, "Now that the army of the King of Light is pressing, and we are trapped here, it is difficult to move forward. The Beixuan army is still watching the border and has been slow to lend a helping hand, and the current situation must rely on us, and this battle is our opportunity, and the success of this battle can enable us to reorganize the morale of the army. ”

"But this king is worried that Gong Wang Shu will be praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, in case we annihilate Yelan's army and damage the troops, he will take the opportunity to counterattack, then we will not gain more than we lose. "Crane in the clouds.

"The lord's doubts can be dispelled. Murong Yongci smiled, "The spies planted by his subordinates in Haria Province have reported that Gong Wang Shu has been busy searching for Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, in the city recently, he is too busy, it is impossible for him to offend us, after all, we still have Beixuan and many small tribes behind us as backers, no matter how stupid Gong Wang Shu is, he will not be like this." ”

Listening to Murong Yongci's analysis, Yun Zhonghe's heart was much more steady. "Okay, then you will lead the trapping camp, cross the river tonight and attack the Jiuchen Army at night, be sure to win beautifully, and fight them in chaos. ”

......

At night, the Blackwater River is covered with blue waves, reflecting the moonlight. The Jiuchen Army camped on the shore slept peacefully, and here, the black figure quickly flowed across the river, the river rippled in the microwave, and the wind and waves were calm.

Murong Yongci led the trapping camp to quietly surround the base camp where the main force of the Jiuchen Army was located, and the encirclement gradually contracted and closed, until the encirclement was impenetrable and the water could not be leaked, Murong Yongci waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

The soldiers who had been tired from the day of the journey slept soundly, and most of them died in their sleep, until the lights were bright, and there was a shout of killing, and the terrible screams shattered the night sky, breaking the peace of the surface, and the soldiers got up from their beds in a panic, and did not even have time to put on their clothes and armor, and hurriedly met the battle with a weapon.

Most of the soldiers were caught off guard and died directly under the knives of the trapped camp, but most of them were trampled to death at the feet of their companions because they were too flustered, trampling on each other, and some of them died under the knives of their companions because they couldn't see people clearly because of the night.

According to incomplete statistics, more than half of this melee actually died under their own hands, and the rest, because the militia was mostly undertrained, was attacked in a panic, and encountered such an ace elite army as the trap camp, and was killed mercilessly.

It can be said that Murong Yongci won this battle without bloodshed and effortlessly.

After all, Yelan couldn't watch the soldiers he brought out be killed alive, so he led his henchmen to try his best to straighten out military discipline, pacify people's hearts, and defend against the rebels at the same time.

The combat effectiveness of the heart is lower than that of the trapped camp, but it can barely carry it for a while. Yelan planted the flag on the ground and shouted, "Calm down, move closer to me! The reinforcements from the heart will arrive soon! ”

Seeing that there was finally someone in command, the soldiers were still their commander-in-chief, and gradually steadied their pace and moved closer to Yelan. However, because of the previous panic, now there are only 20,000 left in the 110,000 army, and most of the soldiers and horses have been lost.

Murong Yongci was dressed in a white battle robe, and now he was stained with a large area of blood. - These blood are the blood of the soldiers of the Nine Dust Army.

With a horizontal wave, he changed his formation in the camp, and pointed directly at the Nine Dust Army with a ruthless broadsword.

Seeing this scene, the Jiuchen soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but now they had no way to retreat, and there were rebels on all sides, so they could only fight with their backs.

"Jiuchen soldiers, listen up! It is not me, Murong Yongxi, who put you in danger tonight and died here, but your Royal Highness King Gong! It was he who provided the information and made you lose your lives here in vain. ”

"What, King Gong!" As Murong Yongci expected, the Jiuchen Army was taken aback when they heard his words, the soldiers whispered, and everyone's faces flashed with horror and resentment.

"It's really King Gong, he sacrificed us, he wants us to die!" I don't know who roared angrily among the soldiers, and the soldiers scolded King Gong one after another, that posture was to devour King Gong alive.

"Since Gong Wang Shu is doing this to us, we might as well surrender the rebels!" another angry shout, the soldiers cheered one after another, their emotions were high, the ranks were in turmoil, some soldiers threw away their weapons, and some were still hesitating.

"King Gong is unkind to you, you are going to surrender to the rebels? Pick up your weapons today to break through the siege, return to the capital, and ask him to pay the price for his actions in front of the emperor!"

"Good! good!" shouted the soldiers, picking up their weapons again.

"Don't listen to him!" a voice came from the ranks, and an eight-foot-long soldier shouted, "Gong Wang Shu is the emperor's favorite son, and the emperor will not believe us without evidence." Instead of this, it is better to descend the king of Dongbo, the prince and the general, it is you and me!"

The soldiers were in another commotion, wandering. Seeing this, Yelan couldn't help but sneer and looked at Murong Yongci, "It is said that General Murong is resourceful, and this ability to disturb the morale of the army really makes me admire." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Light has a good reputation. Murong Yongci smiled, "If it weren't for King Gong really doing such a thing, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I can't fabricate it out of thin air and disturb the morale of the army." Speaking of which, I still want to thank His Royal Highness King Gong. ”

"Everyone calm down! Don't fall for Murong Yongci's scheme!" Ye Fan Gao shouted, pointing his sword at Murong Yongci, "The crane in the clouds is suspicious by nature, and Murong Yongci is scheming, if you really surrender him, you will be in a different place in the near future! It is better to break out of the encirclement, not only to save a life, but also to make meritorious contributions." Gong Wang Shu has this king and the light king jointly testify for you, and you will never let Ye Shu go unpunished!"

"Who can guarantee that you are not lying to us!" replied to the soldier who was leading the fanning of the flames.

"It's you who made trouble!" Ye Fan's eyes widened, and he snapped. As soon as the light of the hidden weapon was extinguished, an arrow shot through the throat of the troublemaker. The arrow was poisonous, and when he saw the blood sealing his throat, the soldier fell down with a "bang" and was killed on the spot.

Ye Fan's secret weapon is very accurate, the whole person is very calm and calm, and there is a maturity that was not in the past between his eyebrows, sandwiched with a trace of heroism, his movements are clean and neat, and he is very handsome. It's a world of difference from the impulsive and straightforward teenager of the past.

Yelan was slightly stunned, and after only a moment, Yefan hid his edge and turned back into the childish teenager. This moment happened so quickly that Yelan couldn't tell if it was a hallucination or not.

But it doesn't matter anymore, what matters now is how to break through the siege.
