Chapter 633: Cao Zhou is captured
Wei Ying came back to her senses, clutched her bleeding neck, stumbled towards the underworld, stopped next to him, and looked at him silently with tears.
Hades Si Xun's eyes moved slightly, stretched out his hand towards her, took her to the horse, and then looked at Nangong Qianhuang, "Empress, I will retreat, but the war with you is not over yet, and he will divide the victory and defeat one day." ”
Nangong Tianhuang waved his hand, "Why is there so much nonsense, disappear quickly, I can't get angry when I look at your face now." ”
The little cub is a scheming master, and he is afraid that he will not be able to defeat her, so he is planning other things.
At the same time, his withdrawal from the army also shows that his alliance with Ji Liyan's cub was broken.
Although I really want to kill the little cub very much, but Xiao Ling's side can't wait, but I don't have time to spend it with the little cub.
The grievances between her and Hades are not too late for him to understand.
Hades glanced at her, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, "Withdraw the troops and return to the capital!"
A low signal of the horn of retreat resounded in the field, and in an instant the underworld army faded like a tide, finally ending the month's war.
Nangong Tinghuang returned to the camp and summoned a few generals to make arrangements, "Next, we will meet Xiao Ling, she is far away from here in Fencheng, and she will pass through many cities on the way, so she has no time to go to a remote place, and attack the city where Xiao Ling is located in a straight line." ”
"But the empress, if you attack in a straight line, there are more cities on the way than in remote places, and Mo Shuai is urgent, but there is no time to attack one by one. ”
"The reinforcements will arrive on the 24th, and when they come, a million lions will march in a straight line, do you think which defender will choose to fight with my million lions?" Nangong Tinghuang raised his eyebrows.
A city generally has 100,000 soldiers defending the city, but there are also many of them, such as 200,000 or 300,000, but no matter how much or less, a million lions are enough to crush it.
There are still people in the city, if they are just passing by, the defense of the city will be for the sake of the people, and there will be no action.
"What if there is a lack of heart?"
"What else can I do, then I will fight with the heartless eye. Nangong tilted the phoenix and said.
If it goes well, you can rush to Fencheng in half a month, but I'm afraid that the road will not go well, and at the end of the month, Xiaoling will have to start a war with Ji Liyan, and the place will be moved at that time, if it is not far from Fencheng, it can be quickly converged, but if it is far away, it will take a few days to hurry.
The exact number of days depends on her migration.
After deploying Nangong Qianhuang, he wrote a letter to Mo Ling, saying that he would collect the troops in the next few days, and that she would be able to march in a few days.
*
On the 13th of February, 5,000 men and horses on Caozhou's side separated from Mo Ling, and on February 14th, they deliberately lured the night army.
The night army pursued in the direction of the horseshoe prints, but found nothing for several days.
Cao Zhou walked to a certain distance after the horseshoe prints, and let people erase the traces of the horseshoe prints while walking, and then deliberately **horseshoes prints after traveling to a certain distance.
The night army chased a certain distance, and after the horseshoe prints disappeared, there was no trace of them.
After several detachments of 100 people sent by Ji Liyan found the horseshoe prints again, the large army continued to chase along the seals.
The repeated cycle was like this for several days, making the Night Army feel that the Mo Army was simply playing with them.
In this regard, Ji Liyan doubted that the horseshoe prints would be blown up, and Mo Ling actually found a hiding place and deliberately sent someone out to lure him.
But it's just a suspicion, after all, this place is barren, and there is no hiding place except for the mountains.
There is also a speculation that she divided the soldiers and horses into two ways, and deliberately ** horseshoe prints all the way, and she led the large army to flee in the opposite direction, and she did this to delay time, waiting for the agency people to finish making weapons to support.
Compared with her guess of finding a hiding place, she chose to believe that her soldiers were divided into two ways, choosing to follow the horseshoe prints, and felt that as long as she found the one who lured her, she could force her to ask where the strange spirit was.
At the same time, he divided his troops into two directions, one side was led by him to chase the horseshoe prints, and the other side went in the opposite direction.
Before discovering the horseshoe prints, he divided the troops into dozens of teams to search in a large area, but after discovering it, he suspected that her soldiers were divided into two ways, afraid that the army would be scattered and there were many detachments, and if she encountered a large army led by her, the small detachments would be broken by her one by one.
If the 20,000 people chasing in the opposite direction find Mo Ling, they can immediately rush to report it, and the large army led by him can go to encircle and suppress it as soon as possible.
The reinforcements would not arrive until 23 February, so they had to divide their troops into two routes until a million soldiers arrived.
Ke Ji Liyan chased from February 14 to February 21, eight days, except for the deliberate horseshoe prints, not even the shadow of the Mo army was found, and the same was true of the people searching in the opposite direction.
On the day when the horseshoe prints appeared, they chased them to the mountain where Mo Ling was hiding, and a hundred miles ahead, but they couldn't find the lure army that Ji Liyan speculated.
At noon on the 21st, after the horseshoe prints disappeared, Ji Liyan ordered to repair the place as usual, and then sent four detachments of 100 people to look for the horseshoe prints in the east, west, north, and center.
After half a pillar of incense, the search detachment to the west returned, and reported that the horseshoe prints had appeared two miles away.
Ji Liyan thought about it, and he sent men and horses to find it, "Fifty thousand people will look for it, and the rest will continue to be repaired in place." ”
After chasing for several days to no avail, the speculation that the Mo Ling soldiers were divided into two ways was gradually overturned.
The direction he is pursuing, the place where the horseshoe prints appear is very random, this time it is east, next time it may be north or other directions, but no matter what direction it is, after looking for it a few times, the horseshoe prints will be on the straight route**.
If they were lured, they would not be in a straight line, but in a circle, running back and forth, pulling them back, and then joining up with the main army.
Their actions were diametrically opposed, as if they were deliberately leading them away from the place where the horseshoe prints were originally taken.
There is only one explanation, Mo Ling to find a hiding place, and these deliberately ** people and horses, Mo Ling is afraid that he will aim the search direction at her, and deliberately let people come out to lure the enemy, to put it more clearly, these are the people who came out to send them to death, in exchange for the survival of the large army.
He chose the wrong one, thinking that this place was deserted, so he believed that her soldiers were divided into two ways.
But although he was sure that she had found a hiding place, he still couldn't figure out where she would hide nearly 200,000 horses, after all, this was the territory of the Night Country, and hundreds of thousands of people would inevitably be discovered by the people, but no one had come to tell the Mo army in the past few days.
It's incredible.
He is not a tangled lord who can't figure it out, since he is sure that Mo Ling's troops are not divided into two ways, he is not afraid to send a team to be broken by her one by one.
He ordered the soldiers to be divided into dozens of teams and 10,000 teams, and began a carpet search along the surrounding directions.
Even if you make the wrong choice, if you find a lure to the enemy, you can still force you to find out where the Moling is.
The only people and horses chasing Cao Zhou before were the large army led by Ji Liyan, and the men and horses led by Cao Zhou fled in a wide direction, but now the night army is scattered, and the place where five thousand people and horses can run is getting smaller and smaller.
The east, west, north, and center directions were almost all over the night army, and there was nowhere to run at all, like an encirclement network gradually approaching them, shrinking the distance from them.
In the afternoon, behind a rock, the men and horses led by Cao Zhou hid behind it, waiting for the inspectors to come back and make a report.
After a cup of tea, the people who were going east to investigate returned, "General Cao, the last general found the night army three miles away." ”
Cao Zhou frowned and looked very bad, "Now, there are enemy troops in the east, west, and north, and these directions can't be fled, and let's see how the straight line route is." ”
After a pause, he asked, "The Night Army didn't find you, did they?"
"The last general has come back from hiding in the snow as soon as he sees the enemy in the distance, and the enemy must not have noticed me. ”
A young general was puzzled: "General Cao, the last general can't figure it out, Na Ji Liyan obviously chased with all the men and horses before, but why did he suddenly disperse the night army?"
Cao Zhou choked, who the fuck knew why, "You don't care what he does so much, let's try to involve Ji Liyan for as much time as possible, that's what we should do, don't think about anything else!"
"It's... It's General Cao..."
After a while, the people who probed in the middle came back, "There are also enemy troops in front of General Cao, and they must have come around in front of us from another direction to block our way." ”
Cao Zhou nodded, got up and looked at the five thousand centaurs beside him, and said in a tragic tone: "Presumably everyone has guessed that we have no way to escape, since we are at the end of the road, then we will kill the front with this general!"
Looking at the south, Mo Shuai will be incompetent for eight days, I hope you can do well.
The soldiers all stood up, they knew that they were about to face death, but they did not have any fear in their hearts, drew their swords, turned over their horses, and ran with Cao Zhou to the place of the grave.
Riding to Sili and discovering the night army, Cao Zhou drew his sword and shouted: "Kill!"
The night army who searched suddenly saw the Mo army, and was instantly excited, and at the same time a wave of anger rose from their hearts, they searched for them for eight days, thinking that there would be at least 50,000 people, how could they think that there were only 5,000!
5,000 people played hundreds of thousands of them for eight days!
couldn't help but draw his sword and roar towards the five thousand men and horses, and several night army generals went to report Ji Li's death as soon as possible.
When Ji Liyan received the news, he hurried towards where Cao Zhou was, while sending people to find the scattered teams and gather towards Cao Zhou.
Cao Zhou's 5,000 people were twice as many as the 10,000 search team of the Night Army, which was originally a defeat, but because of the battle of trapped beasts at the end of the road, 5,000 people were on par with 10,000 people.
But this situation only lasted for half a pillar of incense, and the squads of the Night Army came here one after another to gather, and Cao Zhou had no power to return to the sky.
The night army sent the first person to escort the hundreds of people who were still alive to Ji Liyan, and shouted: "Say, where is Leping!"
With an unconcealable anger in his tone, he thought that there would be many strange troops to lure, but he thought that there were only five thousand people!
Ji Liyan was also a little surprised, and after being surprised, he just wanted to ask, when Cao Zhou's words sounded: "I, Cao Zhou, swear not to betray Mo Shuai!"
The other soldiers also resolutely shouted, "Swear not to betray Mo Shuai!"
Ji Liyan looked at Cao Zhou, and she actually sent General Cao, one of her four arms, out.
"Just tell me where the strange spirit is, and I can take your life. ”
Cao Zhou laughed sarcastically: "Don't say more about the dog thief, I'd rather die than betray Mo Shuai!" The dog thief was slipped away like a dog for a few days by our 5,000 people, how does it feel?"
Laughed twice, looked at the other soldiers, and the soldiers understood, closed their lips and teeth and bit their tongues.
