After lunch in the Queen Mother's palace and accompanied her for a while, Mo Ling left, went to Mo Jinna, stayed with him until dark and returned to the palace.

At the same time, after more than 10 days and nights of traveling day and night, the large army finally arrived at the northern border guard camp at 6 o'clock in the evening of 28 January.

After a brief discussion with a few generals, Li Shuai immediately attacked the Night Kingdom.

During these days of travel, he learned about the death of King Mo and his wife, and thought of Mo Yulie's reckless attack on the Night Kingdom, and wondered that this matter was related to the Night Kingdom.

wrote a letter to Mo Yulie to ask for the truth.

Mo Yulie revealed everything, including the true identity of the Night Emperor Ye Qianze.

When Li Shuai heard this, his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't wait to immediately rush to the night country and slaughter the rabbit cub.

Therefore, when they reached the border, they immediately raised troops to attack.

There is another reason, now that it is night, even if the night country is on guard, it is inevitable that there will be laxity, and they want to take advantage of their unpreparedness to make a sneak attack at night.

Several backbone subordinates and the leaders of the barracks, after hearing Li Shuai tell the truth about the death of King Mo and his wife, and his plan, nodded angrily and immediately went out of the camp to arrange.

While the soldiers were waiting for the attack, one of the soldiers entered the tent with an eagle.

Li Shuai opened it and looked at it a few times, threw it aside, and shouted: "Go to war!"

He didn't take Mo Yulie's instructions to heart above, the same as Mo Yulie thought, even if he knew how to divination, but this array of troops was not immutable, for example, now, they want to raise troops, so the great elder can divination?

It was night, black clouds covered the moon, and under the dark sight, 30,000 warriors in dark red armor, holding bows, swords, and long grass, spread out in a semicircle.

With 10,000 infantry soldiers as the vanguard force, 10,000 archers as the center, large bows and crossbows on the chariots behind as supplements, and elite soldiers on the left and right sides.

The 30,000 soldiers marched in unison, tightening their heartstrings, and trotted towards the night defense line.

The night country border camp is divided into three defense lines, each line of defense is two miles away from the next one, and there are 10,000 soldiers in one to defend it.

And these three lines of defense are seven miles away from the general military camp, and Li Shuai is fighting at a long distance, even if the general military camp knows that they are attacking, it will not be able to support it for a while.

Even if they come back, when they arrive, they will take one defense, or two defenses in one go.

Who knew that when they arrived at the first defense, there were no soldiers patrolling, and there were no candles flickering in the camp, and the entire first defense was shrouded in darkness, as if it was empty, and the surroundings were quiet and strange.

The soldiers stared at the empty enemy camp in front of them, full of doubt.

Today's commander-in-chief in charge of the sneak attack, the chief general of the heavy infantry, Cao Zhou, stared at the front for a few seconds, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw!"

But it was too late, as soon as his words fell, a dense rain of swords covered the sky in the dark, shooting towards the soldiers of the strange country from the tent of the first defense camp.

Immediately after that, the enemy camp lit the torches, and the black-pressed crowd roared from both sides of the elite troops of the strange country, forming a circular encirclement network to enclose them.

Suddenly, the sound of earth-shattering fighting broke out in the dark night, and the battle broke out at this moment.

Cao Zhou tugged on the reins, and seeing that the momentum was not good, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't love to fight, fight a way out!"

The infantry hurriedly picked up shields to resist the rain of arrows, escorting the middle troops to withdraw little by little, and the elite troops fought their way out in front.

But even if Cao Zhou's withdrawal order was timely, they had already been ambushed by the enemy, and the archers didn't have time to take their arrows to their bows.

Even if an archer had an arrow, it would be nothing compared to the enemy's rain of arrows like locusts passing through.

And the enemy's dense rain of arrows was still mercilessly shooting into the soldiers' bodies, and they couldn't resist it at all, and the soldiers of the foreign country died countless times in just one minute.

Ten thousand armies confronted each other, and the sound of "killing" resounded in the dark night, and the long sword and longbow collided under the black clouds, sparks were sparked, and the heavy smell of blood filled the air.

Countless corpses were lying on the ground, and some wounded soldiers were sweating profusely as they covered their broken legs and hands, but their comrades-in-arms had no time to treat them.

The soldiers of the strange country took their bodies and used their blood to open the way for their comrades.

Seeing that they had no intention of fighting, the morale of the enemy soldiers soared, and they roared with red eyes and slaughtered wildly.

Cao Zhou commanded while killing the enemy army, "Left! Break through from the front left! Archers! Don't give the fuck to Lao Tzu!! Wait for the New Year!! Kill Lao Tzu!"

When the archer heard his roar, he hurriedly fended off the incoming arrows and struggled to mount his bow, but before he could shoot to the left front, he was shot into his body by the enemy's arrows.

More than half of the people in the foreign army died under the rain of arrows, and the heavy infantry resisted the incoming arrows for the soldiers in the rear, and more than half of them were killed and wounded.

The enemy army obviously knew about their sneak attack, and had already made a good deployment, and the number of troops was twice as large as theirs, although there were also deaths, but they were not as heavy as the casualties of the Mo army.

Cao Zhou was so anxious that he couldn't break through the left front, and if he went on like this, he would be wiped out in less than half a cup of tea, not to mention the enemy troops who were supporting on the road.

At this critical moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from a distance, and then 10,000 iron horsemen gradually emerged from the night and joined the fight.

Cao Zhou's heart was overjoyed, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared immediately, and he cut off the head of the person in front of him and shouted: "Kill! Follow the iron horse and rush out of the ambush circle!!"

"Yes!!" the soldiers roared, and their morale suddenly increased.

With the support of the iron cavalry, the situation suddenly changed dramatically, and the enemy generals in the distance saw that the momentum was not good, and hurriedly blew the horn of retreat.

In the next moment, the enemy army retreated to its own camp like a flood tide, while maneuvering with the Mo army.

After Cao Zhou and the iron cavalry general Ge Hao turned, they did not fight, and immediately returned to the camp of the strange country with the remaining soldiers.

The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield disappeared without a trace as the two armies retreated, leaving only the wreckage on the ground and thick blood filling the air.

Mo Guo camp, Li Shuai listened to Cao Zhou's report of the casualties of the soldiers, and slammed his fist on the table, anger and chagrin welled up in his heart.

The two armies were most reluctant to underestimate the enemy, and it was clear that he had made a big mistake today.

I thought that the great elder did not divinate his sneak attack, but who knew that the people of the Wu clan had such a miraculous prophecy.

After a short period of remorse, Li Shuai commanded in a deep voice: "The people of the Wu clan are too terrifying, and he is afraid that he will know all our tactics in the future, so we will be passive, wait for the Night Kingdom to attack, and then meet the attack." ”

Cao Zhou's tiger eyes were full of anger, and he said in a rough voice: "Li Shuai, the last general does not agree, if it is passive every time, then where is the dignity of the strange country, and the morale will be greatly reduced! The last general will ask for battle! Today we are too light on the enemy, and the situation is unfavorable to us in the fierce battle at night, and there will be no night thief who will be able to kill at the end of tomorrow!"

"General Cao is a little restless, fighting a war is not won by force, and strategy is also indispensable, Li Shuai is taking the initiative with passive and other engagements, if he fights tomorrow, he will fall into the enemy's trap. Ge Hao said a little helplessly.

General Cao is brave and good at fighting, and he is a fierce general, but his temperament is too impatient.

Today, they have lost more than 20,000 soldiers against the enemy, and presumably the Night Country will strengthen its defense, and they have also designed traps for them to drill into.

If you fight again tomorrow, it will be a reckless act.

Cao Zhou waved his hand and said in a rough voice: "Ge Hao, what do you mean, saying that Lao Tzu is a reckless man?!"

Ge Hao pursed his lips, didn't he......

"Ahem, General Cao doesn't want to be angry, he doesn't mean that in the future. ”

"Hmph! General Li Shuai will ask for battle!"

Li Shuai scolded: "Cao Zhou, how long have you been with Ben Shuai, how can you still be so reckless! Didn't you hear what Ge Hao said just now? If you dare to attack without knowing Ben Shuai, you will give Lao Tzu to go back to the capital!"

Cao Zhou clenched his fists and bowed his head: "The last general will not dare." ”

"Don't you dare? Do you dare to do anything? If you dare to go tomorrow, Lao Tzu will abolish you!"

"Yes, Li Shuai. ”

Li Shuai glared at him, then put his eyes on the battle map, swept over the hills, and finally fixed on the location of the underworld.

"The northern border of the underworld is fifty miles away from here, I don't know what the little rabbit cub in the underworld will do next, notify it, strengthen the defense, and push the whistle forward. ”

"Yes. ”

Li Shuai gave a few more commands, told the generals to retreat, and looked at a middle-aged man sitting in the corner.

"Strategist, is there a way to deal with the Great Elder?"

The middle-aged man was dressed in a simple blue coat, tied his hair with a wooden hairpin, and had a faint smile on his face, silently listening to them discuss the war.

It wasn't until Li Shuai called him that he spoke up: "The people of the Wu clan are the best at divination, they can get a glimpse of the heavens, and they can divinate the tactical layout, which is reasonable, and there is no way to deal with it." ”

"Then the next battle will be difficult to fight. Li Shuai shook his head.

Chu Zijin smiled lightly: "Li Shuai don't have to worry, the water comes to cover the troops to block, just act when you see the opportunity." ”

Li Shuai rubbed his eyebrows, "It's only like this, Zijin is okay? You felt a cold a few days before you came to the border, and you are tired these days, if you are not well, you can go back to the capital." ”

"I'm tired of Li Shuai's thoughts, and his lower body is fine, so he doesn't need to go back to the capital. ”

"Well, if you don't feel well, tell me in time, you can go and rest. ”

"Yes. Chu Zijin got up and made a move, and then went out of the tent.

Looking up at the crescent moon obscured by the clouds, there was a trace of longing in his eyes, I am waiting for you here.

The four kingdoms, which had been at peace for a hundred years, fought for the first time on the night of January 28, and the first battle ended with the loss of more than 20,000 soldiers in the first battle.

Mo Yulie didn't sleep all night, fidgeting and waiting for news, until midnight a black eagle slowly flew into the hall.

When he saw the above news, Mo Yulie let out a long sigh, Li Shuai has been fighting for many years with wisdom and bravery, but he is too much of a rival, this defeat just gave him a wake-up call, and it can be regarded as a long and wise eat.

*

On the second day, the 29th, the Night Kingdom began to attack the Mo defense line early in the morning, and the Mo army and the night army began the second battle.

And the small countries in the world also began to fight with the confrontation of the two great powers.

The Huaxia Continent was no longer peaceful, and it was not until two years later that peace was restored, and it was also the beginning of an era of harmony where there was no war thereafter, of course, this was only a long time later.
