Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Burning of the Camp
The order was issued, everyone took action one after another, the two brothers of the dark three and the two sisters of Zhiqin each led the troops to act, and Mao Lingfeng led the four thousand soldiers of the Feifeng battalion to leave first and intercepted them on the chessboard mountain.
The two brothers of the dark three and the Feifeng camp quietly surrounded Yingpan Mountain from the left side, and the two Zhiqin sisters surrounded Yingpan Mountain from the right side. At the third watch, an order was given, and a raging fire burned from the foot of the mountain. After a winter of drought and little rain, the mountains are full of fallen leaves and dead branches, and the big heads are burning more and more vigorously. Many people woke up in their sleep, saw the flames around them, and retreated to the top of the mountain.
Jin Zhiwen woke up in his sleep, saw the fire in the mountains, sweated profusely, sat down on the ground, and shouted. The deputy general next to him set him up and rushed out of the sea of fire at the risk of death, and the gray-headed man retreated to the chessboard mountain with the remnants of the soldiers.
Mao Lingfeng looked at the blazing Yingpan Mountain, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, Jin Zhiwen was still satisfied with the gift I gave you. She stared at the remnants of the firelight and drew closer and closer, and shouted with her bow full of strings: "Shoot the arrows, roll the stones." As soon as he let go, five feathered arrows flew out, and someone fell in response. The soldiers of the Feifeng Battalion also took action. Suddenly arrows flew wildly, stones rolled down, and blocked the road.
Many Nanyi soldiers were hit by feather arrows and stones, and they scattered from the side slopes to climb the mountain with their heads in their hands. Zhiqin and Zhiqi secretly three and four others led four thousand soldiers of the Feifeng Battalion to chase and kill all the way from behind. Jin Zhiwen couldn't see the situation of the Jin army clearly because it was dark, so he didn't dare to fight hard, and with the remnants of the soldiers who escaped from the sea of fire, he fled all the way, rushed out of Qipan Mountain, and was defeated all the way, Mao Lingfeng took the Feifeng battalion to chase and kill all the way.
On the first night, Jin Zhiwen had less than 20,000 people left, and was pursued by Mao Lingfeng all the way and fled to Mopan Mountain. After a day and night of pursuit, Mao Lingfeng was also exhausted, leaned on a tree, and ordered the whole army to rest on the spot. Cook in pots and camp tents.
Zhishu and Zhihua called water from the stream: "Miss, wash off the blood on your face first!" Wait until they are ready to eat, and then rest after eating. Mao Lingfeng nodded and took the face towel handed by Zhishu and wiped the blood and sweat on his face.
Zhihua held a bowl of gruel and handed it to her: "Miss, let's drink some porridge first!" ”
Mao Lingfeng took the gruel and drank it in one go, only to feel that his stomach was no longer churning. Mao Lingfeng looked at the two girls and asked, "How is it, are you afraid of killing people on the battlefield for the first time?" The two glanced at each other and said resolutely, "Don't be afraid." But the trembling in their voices betrayed their hearts.
Mao Lingfeng didn't poke it either, patted them lightly and said, "I'll get used to it in the future." Then he got up and went into the tent he had set up, and lay on his side on the haystack, his eyes raised.
Zhiqi and Zhiqin came in with food, and when they saw that Mao Lingfeng had fallen asleep, they quietly retreated and leaned against the door of the tent.
Chang Wu and Zheng Jie saw that the soldiers reported that a sky-high fire had been found in front of them, and they expected that something must have happened, so they rushed to Qipanshan the next morning.
When Mao Lingfeng woke up the next morning, she saw four girls crooked on the inside of the camp tent, she walked out of the camp tent gently, and saw that the soldiers of the Feifeng camp were all sitting on the trees resting in twos and threes. His body was bloodstained and his face was tired. couldn't help sighing softly, and walked to the stream at the bottom of the mountain, picked up the stream water and washed his face, reflecting his blood stains and messy hair in the clear stream. So he simply took out the hairpin, pulled up the trouser legs, and stood in the stream to wash his ink hair.
At this time, Chang Wu and Gao Yufei both arrived, running all the way ahead, and saw a woman in the stream with long hair hanging down her shoulders and holding her trouser legs, facing the mist in the morning sun, like Luo Shen coming out of the water in the haze. In the morning glow, there is a layer of mystery. Gao Yufei praised loudly: "Fluttering like a frightening dragon, graceful like a swimming dragon, fluttering like a flowing wind and snow." Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. Forced to observe it, the scorching waves appeared. The fiber is medium, and the fit is shortened. If the shoulders are cut, the waist is as plain. Neck stretch show, Hao quality Yu dew. Fangze has no addition, lead Hua is not royal, the cloud bun is e'e, and the eyebrows are trimmed. Dan lips are outward, bright teeth and bright eyes, magnificent and elegant, quiet and leisurely. Tenderness and flattery in words. The strange clothes are magnificent, and the bone image should be pictured. The brilliance of the cloth, the brilliance of the Yaobi. Practice the literature of the long journey, and the light coat of the electric fog. The fragrance of the faint orchid is stumbling in the corner of the mountain. ”
Chang Wu glanced at him and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Gao Yufei smiled and said: "This is Cao Zhi Guoluoshui, with the posture of Praise Luoshen, the demeanor of a general, not inferior to Luoshen by half a point." You and I are fortunate to be side by side today, but we are fortunate to have three lives, how dare we have delusions. ”
Chang Wu listened, stared at the woman in the distance, and was silent.
Mao Lingfeng saw the two of them coming slowly from a distance, pulling up their long hair, wading out of the stream, slender and jade feet, and putting on embroidered shoes. Greeted the two of them and walked quickly.
The two of them stood still and saluted, Chang Wu saw that she was covered in blood, and asked urgently, "Did something happen?" Why is it so embarrassing. And what would there be so many corpses of Nanyi soldiers. ”
Mao Lingfeng waved his hand and did not answer, led the two into the account, sat on the ground, and then told Jin Zhiwen about the ambush set up in the gourd mouth of Yingpan Mountain. The two opened their mouths wide in shock, and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time, daring to love their homes in a day and night, with 8,000 people, they destroyed the enemy's nearly 200,000 troops. Such a record is enough to shine for a thousand years and leave a name in history.
Gao Yufei sincerely admired: "The general's intrigue and courage make ancient and modern men bend their waists." ”
Mao Lingfeng said modestly: "Sir's words, Ling Feng is just a coincidence, and he should not be praised by Mr." ”
Chang Wu looked at her fixedly and blurted out: "I really don't know if your head looks different from others!" It's still all in our heads. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone behind him laughing.
Chang Wu looked back and saw Zhiqi and Zhiqin standing behind him covering their mouths and snickering. I couldn't help but blush.
Mao Lingfeng stared: "You guys marched here day and night, then rest for a day before leaving!" Let's take care of the battlefield. Now after Mopan Mountain, soon out of the Liupan Mountain Range, to Ningzhou. It will be the day of the official start of the war.
Dark San came to ask if he wanted to lead troops to pursue Jin Zhiwen's remnants, Mao Ling pondered, "Poor Kou Mo chase, Jin Zhiwen is familiar with the terrain of Liupan Mountain, we go to chase, sometimes the gains outweigh the losses." Just let him go!
So the army rested for a day, set off again and marched towards Mopan Mountain, and after a few days of trekking, the army had already left the edge of the Liupan Mountain Range.
Jin Zhiwen also led the remnants of the army to retreat to Ningzhou, and the Ningzhou garrison heard that the Jin army was pressing, and they were frightened and wanted to abandon the city. Jin Zhiwen was willing to let him escape and ordered the soldiers to imprison him. seized his military power and ordered the soldiers to defend it to the death. Wait for the arrival of Nanyi reinforcements.
Mao Lingfeng's army set up camp at the foot of Liupan Mountain, and was in a hurry to attack Ningzhou, Ningzhou soldiers and horses were only 50,000, and his whole army attacked and could be taken soon. However, for Ningzhou, which was strictly defended, after thinking about it, she decided to give up attacking Ningzhou first. Ordered Zheng Jie to march from the right with the Flying Tiger Battalion and take Luoping Prefecture as quickly as possible, and ordered Dark Three to take the Flying Phoenix Battalion to directly attack Jiaozhou from the left.
He and Chang Wu led the army to directly detour to attack Yuewang County, Yuewang County was shocked, never expected that Jin Zhiwen's 200,000 army would be all lost in Yingpan Mountain, and he didn't expect Mao Lingfeng to actually give up near and far to attack Yuewang County, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to defend the city in a panic, but when he came to the city gate, the Jin army broke through the city gate with a thunderous momentum, and Yuewang County Shou Gaoding didn't have time to escape, so he prepared Mao Lingfeng's five feather arrows to shoot, fell off the horse, and the Jin army had already stepped forward to tie him up. When the soldiers saw that the county guard had been captured, they surrendered one after another.
Mao Lingfeng led a large army into the city and strictly enforced military discipline. There was no offense against the people in autumn, and the people did not have any trouble, they all vied to watch on both sides of the road, and saw the heroic posture of the female general, Mao Ling riding a white horse, wearing a mask, wearing a strong suit, carrying a long sword at his waist, holding a spear in his hand, and a fox fur cloak flying fiercely. It looks even more heroic and bright.
The people exchanged heads and discussions, praising the female general's bravery. Suddenly, several long arrows shot out on the second floor of the two teahouses, mixed with the sound of the wind, towards Mao Lingfeng's body.
Mao Lingfeng raised her eyebrows, kicked her feet, pressed her left hand on the horse's back, and the whole person had already flown up in the air, and several feather arrows flew under her feet. shot at the people on the side of the road, and immediately everyone exclaimed and dodged one after another.
After Mao Lingfeng waved his spear in the air and knocked out several feather arrows that shot to the right, one turned around and put the tip of the spear on the ground, and flew up to the second floor of the roadside teahouse. Zhiqi and Zhiqin also swung their swords after knocking out the feather arrow that shot to the left. Flying up to the second floor of the teahouse on the left, Dark Three and Dark Four and others jumped up and pounced on the teahouse next to them, Chang Wu ordered people to surround the teahouse, and in the blink of an eye, the ten assassins had been subdued. An assassination attempt disappeared in a short period of time. When the soldiers escorted the Assassins out of the teahouse, the people on the street cheered loudly when they saw the female general subduing the five Assassins by herself.
Mao Lingfeng thanked the people, the people were divided on both sides, Mao Lingfeng stayed in the county guard, ordered the army to take over the defense of the city, and divided the troops into various battalions. Everything was sorted out, and Chang Wu was ordered to lead 100,000 troops to attack the state.
At this time, Zheng Jie and Dark San had already sent people to report the news, and they took Luoping Prefecture and Jiaozhou respectively, and asked the general to decide.
Jin Zhiwen couldn't resist it, knowing that he was desperate to wait for help, so he led the army to break through and retreat to Jianning County.
Chang Wu did not pursue either, and ordered the army to enter the city and sort out the matter.
However, it was said that Jin Zhiwen took tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and retreated all the way to Jianning County, but was unexpectedly ambushed at Jinzhu Dapo.
Mao Lingfeng took the Feifeng Battalion and Zheng Jie took the Flying Tiger Battalion to block all his retreats.
