687 Void Soldiers

When the chiefs of the tribes returned to their camps, of course, they also conveyed the words of King Talong to their men, otherwise they would not be able to give an account to their subordinates.

Whether it is Mu Dali or Tai Tai Tun, he has a certain reputation in Dongwu, after all, he is the confidant general under King Long. I heard that both of them were doing something big, and there would be a surprise in four or five days, and everyone put up with it.

However, just two days later, at the head of Ava City, there were sharp-eyed Dongwu soldiers, and suddenly saw a Ming army coming from a distance, and assembled at the gate of the barracks. Suddenly, everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly announced that there were new Ming reinforcements arriving.

This time, everyone was scared. Now these Ming armies are already so difficult to fight, if the Ming army comes again, there is no numerical advantage on Dongwu's side, so how should I fight next?

Thinking so, the patriarchs of all clans, even King Talong, came to check the movement, and seeing is believing.

Or maybe they know that Dongwu will see that the Ming army is not very numerous, so it is about 5,000 and is heading for the head of Ava City.

Seeing this, the Dongwu tribe on the side of Ava City, which was facing the direction of the Ming army, suddenly felt like a great enemy, and while waiting for the battle, he flew to report to King Talong and ask for reinforcements.

However, when they got closer, they realized that this Ming army did not seem to have come to fight. Because many Ming soldiers came with people.

At this moment, they were a little curious, who would be the person who was captured by the Ming army?

As they got closer and closer, they gradually saw clearly, and suddenly, their faces became ugly. Especially the king of Talon at the head of the city, he had a bad premonition in his heart. Because looking at what they were wearing, it seemed as if his Praetorian Guards had come. And the Praetorian Guards in the Ava region, except for those in the city, are only ambushes.

Sure enough, the Dongwu tribe outside the city was the first to see clearly, and suddenly, they made a noise, and they all looked panicked, and they knew that something was wrong.

"It's the king's Praetorian Guard, it's all the king's Praetorian Guards who were captured by the Ming army!"

"Oh no, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Mu Dali, was also arrested by the Ming army!"

"There is also Tai Tai Tun, who was also arrested by the Ming army. Look, the two people at the front are the two of them! ”

“……”

These shouts were faintly heard, and the Ming army continued to advance, already very close to the side of the Dongwu army. Lined up, those who were escorted were all escorted to the front of the formation, so that the Dongwu army could see more clearly.

"It's really Mu Dali, and Tai Tai Tun, see no, both of them were arrested by the Ming army!"

"What's going on, didn't the king say to give a big surprise? Is this what it means to be surprised? ”

“……”

Everyone was stunned, the surprise that King Talong swore to, the surprise that he vouched for with his throne, the surprise they had been waiting for for a long time, turned out to be like this?

At this time, King Talong didn't care about the reactions of those patriarchs at all, and he himself was completely stupid!

He can't figure it out either! Tai Tai Tun was sent to join the ambush troops of Mu Dali's troops, which was to deal a heavy blow to the Ming army's grain road, so as to hit the Ming army. But there are 5,000 people and horses, and now they have been caught outside the city by the Ming army, at least 2,000 people, right?

With so many people, it can only mean one thing, the ambush soldiers were all wiped out, and what they didn't see at the moment was estimated to have been killed by the Ming army.

Sure enough, King Ta Long guessed very accurately this time. I saw that the Ming army began to throw things on the side of the Dongwu army, round, one, two, three......

This time, King Ta Long didn't have to look fixedly, those were probably the heads of the killed ambush soldiers!

In just a moment's effort, the height of the small mound was erected, and it was right in front of the Dongwu soldiers. The Dongwu soldiers, who were still noisy, suddenly became silent. Everyone stared blankly at the number of heads, stunned.

What's going on? What the hell is going on?

This question is not only the heart of all the Dongwu soldiers at this time, but also what King Ta Long wants to ask. Or, more than the others, he couldn't figure out why the ambush was wiped out, why?

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the top of the city: "Oh no, the king has fainted!" ”

The people nearby heard the sound and looked, and sure enough, they saw that he King Long was already dizzy, and was being carried back to the sedan chair by his personal guards, and hurried back to the palace.

At this moment, the Dongwu soldiers were in an uproar again. Everyone's face is ugly, and you can tell how heavy their mood is.

As for the outcome of the current battle, it can be said that from the top to the patriarchs of all ethnic groups and down to the soldiers of various ethnic groups, their hearts have been clouded.

Suddenly, I saw someone shouting from the Ming army, using the words of Dongwu's side. Faintly, they could hear the general meaning.

Those who dare to resist the power of heaven will be the end of those people!

After finishing speaking, I saw those Ming soldiers raise their swords and fall down, and one by one's head fell to the ground again, and the blood sprayed all over the ground, and also sprayed into the hearts of all the Dongwu soldiers who saw it.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Mu Dali, the famous Tai Tai Tun and others, were no exception, and they were beheaded by the Ming army in front of the battle!

After that, the whole Ming army marched back to their camp. Not only that, but they also sang in unison, with a majestic momentum and high morale: "...... Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan vows not to return it if it is not broken......"

The more this is the case on the side of the Ming army, the lower the morale of the Dongwu soldiers will be. Looking at the majestic Ming army, this contrast is too obvious.

As soon as the Ming army left, Dong Wu's side went over to inspect the corpse, and once again proved that it was really true, that was the head of Mu Dali, Tai Tai Tun, and the others who were killed, and they were indeed the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard of King Talong.

The patriarchs of all ethnic groups rushed to the palace to visit King Talong, of course, what they needed more was to take the opportunity to ask why such a "surprise"?

However, they were closed, and the prince Pingdali was outside the palace gate, saying that his father was not in good health and that no one would be seen. After two days, I will give you an explanation.

In this regard, the patriarchs of all clans have no way. Could it be that in front of the son of the world, in front of this future king of Dongwu, he will draw a sword and meet each other, or he will not be able to break through?

But though they went back, their hearts were scattered.

If the hearts of the people are scattered, then this team will not be easy to lead. This point, as the king of Dongwu for many years, how can King Ta Long not know!

At this time, he had actually woken up a long time ago, and he was on an upstairs in the palace, staring blankly at the backs of the patriarchs of various clans, and his heart was at a loss, not knowing what to do next?

At this time, King Talong could only accept the reality, that is, the ambush army was annihilated. In his plan, this was the key to turning defeat into victory, and now, it is gone!

What to do, what to do......

At this time, he actually wanted to retreat and withdraw to the capital, away from the Ming army. However, if the army really wants to withdraw, then the army's heart will be shaken, and the other races will definitely follow, and then the whole army will be scattered!

What to do, what to do......

It wasn't until sunset that King Long came up with a countermeasure, there is one thing, no matter how powerful the Ming army is, it can't be stopped, that is, God!

So, he sent a message, and without explaining it himself, he told the patriarchs of the groups that in seven or eight days, it would be June. And from June onwards, it is the rainy season in Donggo. At that time, the road will be even more difficult to walk, and it will be very difficult for the Ming army to supply from afar. Their firearms will also be greatly less powerful when they are exposed to rain. When that time comes, it will be time for them to win the Ming army. All ethnic groups must hold on and wait for the rainy season to come.

If King Taron had such an idea from the beginning, perhaps the armies of all ethnic groups would have firmly believed in this. But now, it is only after suffering a series of setbacks that he says such a thing, and the effect of this speech is naturally greatly reduced!

For the will of King Talong, more than that, it was just a complaint, and a challenge to the authority of King Talong.

If it was only the tribal chiefs who had a little thought about it before, now many tribal patriarchs are thinking about their own way out.

…………

As for the Ming army's side, they are naturally very happy: the emperor has a clever calculation, and he actually calculated the Dongwu ambush soldiers who are hidden deeply, and there is another nest, which is really cool!

Facing the admiration of the soldiers, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said nothing, but said to the generals below: "From tomorrow, with the strategy of false soldiers, and then strike at the morale of the Dongwu army, it will almost be a decisive battle!" ”

The advantage of gaining control of the battlefield through scout warfare is to make the enemy deaf and blind. They can only see what the Ming army wants to see for them, and if they don't want them to see it, then they will definitely not see it.

"The last will obey!" All the generals were in high morale and responded in unison.

As a result, the Ming army began to act again at night, not only strictly restricting the scouts of the Dongwu army to the range of activities around their camp no more than one mile, but also driving other unrelated people away from the battlefield.

Subsequently, under the cover of night, the soldiers of the rear camp of the Ming army quietly went out of the city, and when it was dawn, they swaggered back to the camp. All kinds of cheers followed, and then the camp was expanded, including the smoke from the cooking fires.

In the eyes of the Dongwu army, this situation means that the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom have arrived.

When they were in doubt, in the next few days, the Ming army continued to use this suspicious strategy. Constantly sneaking out of the camp at night, and then returning to the camp in a big way during the day, the camp is getting bigger and bigger day by day.

Looking at all this, whether the Dongwu army believed it or not, it inevitably aroused their doubts about the final number of the Ming army.

And the numerical superiority of the army has always been the biggest reliance on the side of the Dongwu army. Now, at least on the surface, this advantage is diminishing dramatically, and their worries can be imagined!
