Three Thousand Worlds Are Prosperous Chapter 285 Wanting to Escape
Two days later, the army of Meng Disaster on the north bank faintly saw the 7,000 Jing Guards and Huang Man's army attacking on the south bank, and they really divided into camps and stationed their own camps, so they completely relaxed and ignored it.
Seeing that the elite guards on the other side were still constantly attacking and still bluffing, they ridiculed and ridiculed, scolding the Yellow Barbarian Army for being turtles with shrunken heads.
The Jing Du Wei on the other side of the South Water was unmoved by this, and for two days, although they still attacked according to the original plan, Huang Man's soldiers no longer acted with the Jing Du Wei, so the number of soldiers attacking on the bank of the river dropped by more than half, and each time it was not a real river crossing.
It wasn't until four days later, in a foggy night, that Ningnan sent soldiers to continue to make noise on the south bank to cover up the movement. In fact, the other 4,000 Jing Guards and the 4,000 soldiers of the Yellow Barbarian Army, as well as the boats that had been gradually scattered on the river bank every day, were all quietly transferred to a poorly terried ferry dozens of miles away from here in the upper reaches of the South Water while the Meng army was not awake.
On the fifth watch, before dawn, while the fog had not yet dissipated, the commander of the commander of the Jing Duwei commanded under the order of Ning Nan Wei to quickly assemble a large number of ships in the reeds on the north bank, carrying the sergeants, and quickly crossing the river.
The sentries of the Meng army who were patrolling discovered this anomaly, and became suspicious of the soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Yellow Barbarian Army who appeared on the boat, and thought that the news of the dispute between the Yellow Barbarian army and the Jing Duwei on the other side and the separation of the camp was false, so they hurriedly sent people back to the camp to report.
However, in the past, there were always a large number of Jing Du Wei who crossed the river regardless of the time period, but halfway through the crossing they were always hit by the reef, the loss of boats, or the slapping of the raging river into the river. Due to the poor terrain of this ferry, the Jing Inspector often crossed halfway and went back.
The leader of the Meng army sub-battalion who was sent here was already indifferent when he heard this news. Although he heard from the soldiers who returned to the palace that there seemed to be soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Yellow Barbarian Army this time, and the movement was louder than before, the leader thought that there was a chance that the other party would attack the west.
In the past few days, the king's temper has been violent and irritable, and he has been scolding at every turn, and the day before yesterday, he was furious about the private brawl between the Chiffon tribe and the Dongyi tribe who were still guarding Nanhe County, and he also killed the leaders of the two clans who led the trouble, and ordered people to hang the heads of these two people on the head of Nanhe City to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. In case at this moment, he transferred a large army because of this small anomaly on the riverbank, but in the end he found that he was being teased again, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around. So let people continue to stare at the movement on the riverbank, and wait for the other party's motives to be found out before deciding, and there is no need to immediately take charge of the Wuhu King who deals with political affairs.
However, it was this stare that made Meng Jun lose the only chance to protect himself.
The sky was faintly bright, the fog dissipated, and when the sentries on the north shore finally saw clearly, this time the south bank was not pretending to be mysterious, but actually sailing countless ships full of soldiers, and a one-eyed young man wearing Xuanjin armor stood on the deck of the ship at the front, holding a green blade, fully armed, and was leading the black army to quickly press towards the other side of the south water.
The defenders on the banks of the river hurried to the camp to report the newsโbut apparently it was too late.
Eight thousand elite soldiers, including Jing Duwei and Huang Man's soldiers, landed on the south bank and easily annihilated the hundreds of small detachments scattered around the ferry.
Under the cover of the faint sky, the 8,000 small army marched towards the main camp of the Meng disaster army on the west side.
At the same time, Ning Nanwei and Huang Man on the other side of the river quickly built a suspended "bridge" with the river grass hidden opposite the main camp after determining that the 8,000 small army led by Song Yang had landed.
All the remaining 20,000 horses and horses in the Yellow Barbarian Army, stepping on the suspension bridge, crossed the river without hindrance, and killed the main camp of the Meng army, which was still immersed in a dream, while at the same time, the other 20,000 Yellow Barbarian troops who had traveled long distances from the source of both sides of the South River and sneaked into the ambush in the ridges on both sides of the south bank attacked the Meng disaster army camp in the jungle open land at the foot of the mountain.
Meng Disaster was awakened by the sound of fighting outside, and he didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he hurriedly ran out of the camp tent with a big knife, wanting to command the army to assemble and fight. However, Ning Nanwei, who had led 20,000 troops to the mighty impact, would no longer give him this opportunity.
According to Ning Nanwei's order, the Huang Man's army that landed on the shore lit a torch and threw it at several white tents of the Meng army.
Soon the white tent caught fire, and a large number of Meng soldiers woke up from the shouting and killing sounds outside their dreams and the burning fire, Mo said that they obeyed the hastily assembled orders of Meng Disaster and lined up, and these soldiers didn't even have time to put on their armor and couldn't hold weapons.
These soldiers who were killing from all directions made these Meng soldiers who had just woken up from their sleep powerless.
Those who picked up spears and cold knives only barely fought with them for a long time, and then rushed in all directions with a large number of fleeing soldiers. China
Meng Disaster, who was escorted in the middle and fled towards the jungles on both sides, saw that the general situation had gone, and knew that this place could not stay for a long time, so he abandoned the camp, fought his way out of the siege in the desperate maintenance of his henchmen and generals, and took the lead in escaping to the city of Nanhe County, which stood dozens of miles away. But he never thought that the wide road that he would not go north was blocked by a detour of pikemen and shield men arranged by Ning Nanwei in advance. Meng Disaster was forced to flee eastward in a hurry, all the way to the tunnel city hundreds of miles away from the Nanhe, wanting to gather the remnants there and take a breather.
Less than half of the 20,000 Tibetan soldiers who had been transferred from Hanoi near the border with Champa and the 40,000 Tibetan soldiers who had been hiding among the civilians for several years had been fighting with him since they entered the country, were still following him, and the rest were dead, wounded, and scattered.
He actually let Huang Man turn defeat into victory with the help of Ning Nanwei, and let him use 40,000 troops to deal with the 60,000 troops in his hands. Meng Disaster almost vomited blood with hatred, and vowed to break Ning Nan's body into pieces, and immediately sent someone to send a message to the other 70,000 soldiers guarding the capital of Wuhu, and ordered his own soldiers to lead Hanchang Surong to come to the rescue.
As soon as his news was sent, the army of Huang Man, under the leadership of Ning Nan Wei, followed and caught up, surrounded the tunnel city, and launched a fierce attack.
The tunnel city is just a small city that does not even have a moat, and soon it will not be able to hold on, Meng Disaster led 30,000 tired soldiers and soldiers are about to fight against the water, and when they are all gone, the movement of the attack outside gradually decreases, and slowly, the sound of cannon stones slamming the door calms down.
Meng Disaster thought that Ning Nan was playing tricks to lure him out, so he ordered the whole army to stay still and hide in the city to continue to be vigilant.
But until the sky sank, there was no movement outside the city gates.
At this time, Meng Disaster sent a sentry to quietly crawl out of the dog hole in the city wall to investigate the details.
The sentinels who slipped out of the tunnel city saw that the uniforms, armor, and weapons of the Yellow Barbarian army were thrown to the ground outside the door, and they were in a mess, as if they had been repelled by some strong enemy. He quickly returned to the city to report, Meng Disaster was full of suspicion and worry, and ordered his henchmen to open the city gate and go to take a closer look.
About a cup of tea, the henchman returned and reported to him that the tribal army that seemed to be coming from the northwest had repelled the army of the Yellow Barbarians.
Meng Disaster carefully thought about what tribes were stationed on the northwest side to stay in the army, but he had no clue.
At this time, he was concerned about the opportunity to evacuate, so he did not care whether the army on the northwest side really came to the rescue. He hastily ordered a small group of men and horses to quietly go to the west to check which tribesmen's soldiers were repelling Huang Man, and then took the remaining remnants of the army all the way to Jiaocheng, thousands of miles away. There are 40,000 personal soldiers carefully cultivated by him, and when he meets with him, he will go to Wuhu Zhidu to gather with the 70,000 soldiers of Hanchang Surong, and press the troops to come, not afraid that he will not be able to defeat Ningnan.
Just after Meng Disaster successfully escaped from the Tunnel City with 30,000 wounded soldiers, Huang Man and others, who pretended to be attacked by strong soldiers and hid in the jungle to observe the situation, finally appeared.
Huang Man was dissatisfied with Ning Nan's fear of giving up this great fighter to pursue the victory, and said rudely: "I don't know what Huaiyin Marquis means?" Why not allow the army to pursue? Meng Disaster is a cunning person, so he was easily let go this time and let him join the 110,000 soldiers of Jiaocheng Zhidu... We've lost the head! โ
He guessed that this man in Xuanyi must have other plans to take down Meng Disaster, but he was still unwilling to give up the great opportunity in front of him.
Ning Nan was calm and calm, and said slowly: "The Meng army has been defeated so much, but there are still 30,000 soldiers on his side. Although there are still 40,000 soldiers on your side, most of the men and horses in the camp are exhausted after a month and a half of strategizing and attacking. If you attack, you may not be able to win. It is necessary to know that the army is weak in the war, and the overall situation should be taken into account.
If the enemy army is forced, it will be counterattacked, and the so-called poor man does not chase this truth. Allowing them to flee will only weaken the morale of the Meng army, and make the remnants think that we are only at the end of a strong crossbow, and we are just vulnerable to a blow. If you want to lose, you must help you. If you want to take it, you will give it. I have ordered someone to go and inform the people who have already been ambushed in Jiaocheng, Zhidu, Sanye, and Qingcheng to prepare for an ambush. He also asked the chief to send people to inform the troops who remained around the river to hide in the mountains and forests and wait for the opportunity.
At this moment, he ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate slowly, follow the Meng army, and do not rush it, so that it does not have much space to stop and breathe, so that the strength of the whole army can be exhausted, and the fighting spirit of the whole army can be eliminated, and after arriving at the Yuejiang River, he will wait with the army in the mountains and forests in the winding mountains by the river, and wait for the Meng disaster and his 110,000 troops to assemble. He called on all the men and horses to attack it in one fell swoop. In this way, the maximum casualties can be reduced, and it can also make the Meng disaster army feel disorganized, annihilate the whole army, and leave no room for survival. โ
"But... The large army I garrisoned near the river was only 50,000 horses... Coupled with the 40,000 troops that are following me at this moment, it is only 90,000, how can I defeat the 140,000 army of Meng Disaster? Huang Man asked rhetorically.
Ning Nan was worried but seemed to have a chance to win: "Don't forget, leader... The removal of the Meng disaster is something that you and I have been planning for five years ago. Naturally, my men and horses in Wuhutun are enough to help the leader succeed, and in another day, Lu Xun, the commander of my fine guard, will also order another 3,000 rested elite soldiers to come to Wuhu. The effectiveness of the Jing Inspector Guard's soldiers against dozens of soldiers, presumably the leader has also seen it in the past two days. I only hope that after the great event is accomplished, the leader will not forget the agreement with me. โ
