Chapter 702: Annihilation of the Persian Army
It was ten o'clock in the evening, and everyone was hiding in the woods, watching what was happening outside.
The soldiers watching from the mountainside saw the night marchers in the distance approaching with torches, and the Persian army had apparently noticed the large number of night marchers coming.
Chaos began in their barracks, and by this time many people were already sleeping in tents, and some soldiers were gathering together to drink wine and eat meat.
When the night march approached, the soldiers watching from the hill saw clearly that a large group of night marchers had come on horseback.
The night marchers, mounted on horses at the front, with swords and spears in their hands, began to attack the Persian camp.
At this time, the Persian army was completely disrupted.
The shouts of fighting under the mountain rang out, and even Wei Yunxuan, who was hiding in the woods, had already heard it.
Mr. Wen said: "It seems that these night marches also came to attack the Persian army. Lord, do we want to go out now and sneak attack the Persian army at the intersection in front? ”
Han Xuening also said that now is the best time to sneak attack the Persian army at the intersection, and so on cut off the road where the Persian army gathers. It can take the Persian army by surprise.
"Give the order to go down, and the archer troops will be dispatched immediately!"
Wei Yunxuan said to the guards beside him.
Bai Zijun and Hanako Jian also received orders, and each with a hundred archers, rushed out of the woods and began to sneak attack the Persian soldiers standing on the side of the road.
The two dozen Persian soldiers who stood on the side of the road for the night were quickly shot dead by the archers.
Under the cover of night, a large number of archers attacked the Persian army near Xiaoliang Mountain, and a group of men and horses entered Liangzhuang to attack the Persian soldiers in the village.
Two hundred soldiers led by Wu Tong also set off to assist the archers in taking the Persian army by surprise!
The night march had killed many Persian troops, and the Persian army in the camp had quickly assembled and dispatched, and the two armies were soon fighting together.
Wei Yunxuan, Han Xuening, and Mr. Wen have been observing the situation outside.
The Persian army on the road ahead had been cleared, and the roadside was full of their own men.
Wei Yunxuan ordered the soldiers to immediately take the corpses of Ma roughly and others to Xiaoliang Mountain, and several soldiers carrying the corpses on their backs, under the cover of the soldiers who opened the road, successfully arrived at the foot of Xiaoliang Mountain.
Han Xuening, Wei Yunxuan, and Mr. Wen also followed the soldiers to the foot of Xiaoliang Mountain, and under the leadership of Han Xuening, the soldiers carrying the corpses on their backs went up the mountain road.
Wei Yunxuan and Mr. Wen postponed, and the group soon went up the mountain.
The soldiers carried the corpses on their backs and slowly descended the mountain along the way down.
When they arrived at the back of the mountain, a large open area, Han Xuening asked everyone to temporarily put the corpses there, and the soldiers began to look for dead branches around, and set up a temporary shed for the place where the corpses were placed.
Behind the mountain was constantly busy, and outside the mountain, two teams of men and horses and the Persian army were constantly fighting.
The battle did not end until the next morning, when the night march and the soldiers led by Hua Zijian, Bai Zijun, and Wutong completely annihilated the Persian army of more than 10,000.
The night march only lost more than 1,000 people in total, and Bai Zijun's archer troops suffered very few casualties.
The sky began to light up, and the east was still reflecting a golden light.
It's a good day, and the sun is already out.
"Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the sky is not bad!" Mr. Wen looked at the empty sky and said.
A few people quickly came down from the mountain, and these people shuttled flexibly in the mountains and forests, and when they got closer, Han Xuening and the others found that it was Wutong who came with Murong Xue and a few guards.
It was obvious that last night's night march was brought by Murong Xue. This surprised Han Xuening and them.
"Sister! What are you doing here? After seeing Murong Xue, Han Xuening was very excited and immediately greeted her.
"Sister! My sister is late with the troops, and you have been trapped for so long! ”
When Murong Xue saw Han Xuening again, she was also extremely excited.
As the saying goes, she stuck a knife in her friend's ribs, and she did it.
Murong Xue told Han Xuening that the guards who had come to Jindong City for help had looked for them, but the queen did not agree to send troops.
The empress said that there were tens of thousands of Persian troops in the city of Great Wei, and the army of the city of Great Wei was not the opponent of the Persian army at all. The 10,000 troops sent out in Jindong City are definitely sent to death. Besides, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and she doesn't want so many soldiers in Jindong City to die on the battlefield without being reunited with their families.
At that time, Murong Xue was very worried about Han Xuening's safety, she dragged people around, and originally planned to lead the five thousand soldiers under her command to rescue. However, she was stopped by her father, it was the Chinese New Year, and her father's city lord did not let her take the troops out.
There was no way, she waited until the New Year, she first went to the Water Army City to find the commander of the Water Army, General Ou Lao, and finally agreed that the Water Army would mobilize another 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Murong Xue would be able to mobilize 8,000 soldiers and horses.
On the night of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses quietly left Jindong City.
This time, there were 5,000 cavalry participating in the battle, so the cavalry played a role last night, killing nearly 5,000 or 6,000 unguarded Persian troops, which can be described as a successful sneak attack.
Murong Xue said: "Sister Xue Ning, now there are all our people outside the city. According to the traps originally arranged, our men re-strengthened the traps outside the city, as long as the Persian army goes out of the city to meet again, they will definitely have no return! ”
"Sister! You're here just in time! ”
Wei Yunxuan also stepped forward to thank Murong Xue, "Miss Murong, thank you so much this time." Finally, he avenged the dead brethren. ”
After saying that, he sighed again, "Today, we are going to bury all the dead brothers here. ”
"Lord Wang! I heard Brother Bai Zijun say just now that your right-hand man was killed this time because he was ambushed in the city. Lord Wang, the festival mourns and changes! "Just now, Bai Zijun has already told Murong Xue about the situation during this time.
"Miss Xuening's two sisters also died this time. This war has hurt too many people! Wei Yunxuan suddenly sighed.
In the era of war, comrades-in-arms who were originally alive together could die at any time.
In fact, Wei Yunxuan was also tired of fighting in his heart, he didn't want to watch his subordinates, and his friends left him one by one.
However, for the sake of the people of the Great Wei State and for them to live a stable life, he had to fight, and only by unifying the Great Wei State could he save the people from fire and water.
The soldiers divided the work and set up temporary sheds for the corpses.
Mr. Wen commanded a group of soldiers to start making coffins using the cut down trees.
At noon, the coffin had been made and was waiting to be put in the coffin in the corpse room.
The other group of soldiers had already dug a big pit, and when the time came, they would just bury the coffin in it.
A hole has been dug in Xiaoqiu's tomb, and today, they are going to put the carcass of the horse into Xiaoqiu's tomb.
Han Xuening also suggested that today is the auspicious day of the zodiac on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the two should be married in a yin marriage.
Next to Xiaoqiu's tomb, two tombs were also dug for the burial of Xiaotao and Xiaohua, and the three sisters could meet underground in the future.
