Chapter 173: "Ghost Army"

Taking advantage of the darkness, he decided to lead his army to hurry up, and make sure to break the camp before the army could react.

Zimudu is some distance away from Zhoukou Ferry, Han Ming led the Zhiwai army to go out day and night, and during the day, under the cover of the scout department, hiding in the deep forests and valleys, starting a stove without making a fire, sleeping in the open and not camping.

The effect was very good, and the soldiers on patrol did not notice anything unusual at all.

In the evening, Han Ming continued to lead everyone to kill in the direction of Zhoukoudu.

This time, Han Mingka was on time, and it happened to be late at night.

Dark clouds covered the moon, the earth was shrouded in pitch black, looking extremely bleak, and the black clothes of the soldiers of the Zhiwai Army happened to merge with the heavens and the earth, making it even more difficult to find.

Looking at the undefended Zhoukoudu camp in front of him, Han Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really time for heaven and earth to work together, and it makes no sense to win today." ”

"Boss, what time and what heaven and earth did you just say, what do you mean?" asked Crazy Qi curiously.

Han Ming explained: "It's just that when you're lucky, heaven and earth will be on your side. ”

"And what about when you're unlucky?"

Han Ming didn't expect this elm head to think of this, but he just smiled and didn't answer.

Looking at the time and knowing that the time was ripe, Han Ming turned around and whispered to everyone, "Soldiers! Remember, you have in your body not only yourself, but also the souls of thousands of fallen soldiers. ”

After speaking, Han Ming took out the red crescent pendant from his chest, lowered his head and began to pray silently.

The surrounding soldiers all followed Han Ming's example, and they all took out their black crescent moon pendants and prayed quietly.

After praying for almost ten seconds, Han Ming opened his eyes, and his seriousness seemed to have a burst of light, and his whole person became radiant.

The rest of the soldiers followed him, and the atmosphere on the battlefield began to become agitated.

Seeing that the emotions were in place, Han Ming raised the Xuanye Halberd in his hand and roared loudly: "Fortunately, I am in Chu, and my soul is blessed for ten thousand years!"

"Fortunately, I am in Chu, and my soul is blessed for ten thousand years!"

"Fortunately, I am in Chu, and my soul is blessed for ten thousand years!"

With a few shouts, Han Ming took the lead and rushed towards the large camp in front of him, followed by a group of fanatical soldiers, who were like wild beasts, frantically pounced on the large camp of the army.

The soldiers on duty in the Li Jun camp had no idea that the Chu army would come from the land, and the rear camp was completely disrupted by Han Ming's rush.

It didn't take half an hour for the rear camp of the army to fall.

When Wang Ping saw the chaos in the camp, he thought that the Chu army had fought from the river. When they learned that the Chu army was coming from the rear camp this time, they were completely stunned.

He couldn't understand how this Chu army came over, you must know that he didn't let the cavalry team patrol around on weekdays, if there were people, they would definitely be able to find it at the first time, but recently there was not a single Chu army found on land at all.

Could it be that the Chu army fell from the sky.

And then, the description of the soldiers who had fled from the rear camp startled him even more.

"Those people are not people at all, they are ghosts, they are invulnerable, they can't die, general, hurry up and escape. ”

"They were all black, like ghosts in the night."

"General, after our swords and guns are inserted into their bodies, they can continue to fight as if they cannot be killed. Those people have no weapons, so they bite with their teeth and hit their heads with them, and they are simply evil spirits. ”

"There were two other people, who rushed all the way to the front, and our brethren were swept to death, and they were ghosts and gods. "

Some of the soldiers who escaped said in horror, Wang Ping knew from their lost expressions that what they said was true, and coupled with the previous inference, he was indeed a little frightened in his heart.

"General, the Chu army on the other side suddenly sent more than a dozen big ships and came straight to my ferry. Another soldier came up and said.

Hearing this, Wang Ping had completely lost the desire to resist, and knowing that the general situation had gone, he directly led the remaining troops and fled to the east.

In the first battle on the north bank, the Li army lost 30,000 soldiers, the Zhoukoudu camp was breached, and the Henghe River was no longer an obstacle for the Chu army.

In this battle, Han Ming's Zhiwai army lost more than 400 people, but it achieved the good result of killing 10,000 enemies, most of which were killed during the pursuit.

At this point, the Zhiwai Army has won another title - "Ghost Army", because it is elusive, and the soldiers fight like devils, they don't know pain, they don't have fear, and they are extremely fanatical, which makes Li Jun's color change when he hears it, and his name is even louder than Feng Yu's White Horse Guard.

After the 10,000 remnants of the army led by Wang Ping rushed to the mouth of the fish mouth downstream, they were directly cut down by Min Zheng in anger.

Min Zheng learned that Zhoukoudu had been captured and the 30,000 army had been destroyed, and he now only had 20,000 people, of which 10,000 were still defeated, and his morale was low, and he knew that he could not fight hard with the Chu army, so he directly abandoned Yuzuikou and rushed to the direction of Longcheng.

Han Ming originally wanted to lead a partial army straight to Dragon City, ready to catch him off guard, but he got a message from the Scout Department: Dragon City now has 40,000 soldiers stationed in the army.

This made Han Ming completely give up his plan to attack quickly.

The reason why so many soldiers were released in Dragon City is inseparable from Liao Song.

When the Longguan was broken and the northern camp was destroyed, Liao Song took more than 10,000 tired soldiers to the Xiaocai camp in the west, wanting to rely on the strength of the Xiaocai battalion to contain the army from the side.

The Xiaocai battalion has a total of more than 30,000 troops, stationed in the southwest of Chu all the year round, and is close to the Banlun Mountain Range to the west.

Hu Bugui, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, is a rough man in his thirties, his right eye was caught blind when he quelled the war beast riot, and only one left eye remains, known as the one-eyed general.

When Liao Song found the one-eyed general Hu Buhui, he was leading his army to prepare to enter the Banlun Mountain Range for summer hunting.

Hearing that the Dragon Pass had been broken, he immediately canceled all operations and prepared to lead his army to the east.

"General Hu, in addition to leading 120,000 troops this time, the army also sent a forbidden cavalry army, so be careful. Liao Song reminded.

"Forbidden Cavalry!"

When Hu Bugui heard this name, he was obviously stunned for a moment, after all, he had heard the name of the forbidden cavalry, and he still knew something.

"Hmph! I was just about to meet with this Raushzi Forbidden Cavalry for a while to see if his first forbidden cavalry in the continent is powerful, or my ** Xiao Cavalry Battalion is superior. ”

The troops who deal with war beasts all the year round are full of confidence, and Hu Bugui has arrogance in his heart, so he is naturally not afraid of the forbidden cavalry.

With Hu Bugui's support, Liao Song no longer flinched, and under the leadership of Hu Bugui, more than 50,000 people in the whole army marched towards Longcheng.

However, this time, before he saw the forbidden cavalry, Hu Bugui met an opponent.

Li Jun knew that there were three battalions in the northern part of Central Chu in addition to Longcheng and Longguan, and according to Liao Ziping, one of the Shanzi battalions was transferred to the east, so only the northern battalion and the Xiaocai battalion remained.

The northern battalion has always been the main force of Longguan's troop transfer, so Zhou Cheng will send the forbidden cavalry army to attack thousands of miles, just to defeat the Chu army in the northern camp in one fell swoop when it has not yet reacted.

As for the rest of the cavalry battalion, because it was too far away from Longguan, the raid was definitely unrealistic. Therefore, after taking Longcheng, Zhou Cheng asked Huang Ning, a staff officer of the accompanying army, to take 30,000 troops to meet the Xiaocai battalion.

And after Hu Bugui brought the troops over, he happened to meet Huang Ning for the first time, and as soon as the two sides met, they immediately handed over.

Because the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was too far away from Longguan, although it nominally had the reputation of the Longguan Reserve Army, it had not actually participated in the change of defense at Longguan, so Huang Ning miscalculated the combat effectiveness of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

This made him suffer a big loss.

The cavalry battalion was stationed in the southwest corner, too close to the Banlun Mountain Range, and the opponent changed from a human to a war beast.

War beasts are no better than those soldiers, soldiers have emotions, they are afraid of casualties on the battlefield, and there will be changes in morale. But war beasts don't, beasts only have wildness, and they don't show the weakness of human nature in battle.

This also led to a linear increase in the combat power of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

As soon as the Li army led by Huang Ning saw Hu Bu return, they were defeated by this fierce army, forcing Huang Ning to retreat more than 30 miles.

If it weren't for Hu Bugui's logistics that couldn't keep up, he would definitely be ready to annihilate Huang Ning.

But after all, Huang Ning is the military staff officer of the army, and he is deeply trusted by Zhou Cheng, how can it be so easy to admit defeat.

After the first defeat, Huang Ning immediately learned a lesson, since he couldn't fight hard, he had to lead the army to garrison in order to plan for the future.
