Chapter 381: Trap
The armies of the two sides confronted each other, but after several days, Sun Yu and Mu Mo's armies did not move at all. The two armies were divided, and Sun Yumumo's army was slow to move, without any action, and could not find out their purpose. Zhao Mingsheng's people had killed several waves of spies, and he was also very confused by these headless actions.
It is necessary to know that the army should be raised for a thousand days, and the troops should be used for a while, and the battle must not be delayed. With an army of 200,000 outside, even if there is no war every day, the amount of grain and grass consumed is very considerable. In the absence of sufficient reserves and timely support, it is all the more important to fight a war with a quick victory, and the faster it is fought, the greater the chance of victory. In history, many generals who had a great chance of winning the war were dragged to death because of a stalemate and confrontation.
In the Mu Mansion, Zhao Mingsheng was planning a war with several commanders of the Mu family's army. At present, it is divided into two factions, and the conservative faction led by General Mu Lao advocates staying in Yongcheng. Yongcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, should grasp this advantage, with his many years of combat experience, the Qiang State and the Haoyue Kingdom must have some conspiracy, once our side sends troops to attack, the other party will definitely have a counterattack.
The radicals, defended by Mu Yang, advocated an immediate attack. Mu Yang is young and vigorous, thinking that it is a victory or a defeat, and he will know it when he fights, and his husband should fight on the battlefield. bends like a girl, but makes others criticize Hu Guo.
"Boy, Mo Xiaoqiang! It is related to the overall stability of Hu Guo, and this is not the time to be rash! Old General Mu was stunned by the clever Mu Yang.
Mu Yang also stiffened his neck, and he couldn't wait to immediately mention breaking into the enemy's camp: "Old General Mu will inevitably be arrogant and destroy his own breeze!" My Mu Jiajun is not a vegetarian either! ”
The heroes on the battlefield on weekdays are in full swing at the moment, and they even want to scuffle.
Zhao Mingsheng looked at the chaotic scene in the hall, slapped the table hard, and his expression was awe-inspiring: "What kind of system!" Immediately the hall fell silent, and when those people saw that the Son of Heaven was angry, they did not dare to quarrel.
He pointed at these people and said sharply, "Didn't you think of it?!" Although the purpose of Haoyue and Qiang is not clear, the Aiqing questioned each other, criticized each other, and distrusted each other. He suddenly said with great force, "This is what the enemy country is happy to see!" ”
These people were speechless and ashamed by Zhao Mingsheng's words.
Zhao Mingsheng said: "Just tomorrow, General Mu will lead 70,000 cavalry to call for battle, once the other party responds to the battle, Mu Yang will lead 80,000 troops to follow!" Mu Yang was very excited, hugged his fists and said: "Weichen takes the order!" ”
Mu Zihe said: "If Qiang and Haoyue should not fight, what should they do?" Zhao Mingsheng looked at the map with his hands and said, "I went to call the battle every day." Mu Zihe's eyelids jumped, he had never seen this kind of formal style, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey and he had to say: "The old minister obeys the order." ”
Zhao Mingsheng sat alone in the empty lobby, quietly studying the map with his arms crossed. The several batches of secret guards he sent out failed to come back, which shows that Sun Yu and Mu Mo have a very powerful character in it. Now that the morale of the army is shaken, he has to do something to stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time take the opportunity to stimulate the enemy. But he intuitively felt that the purpose of Sun Yu and Mumo was definitely not simple, but he couldn't find a solution.
A thin voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, the maiden has brought you sweet soup." Zhao Mingsheng said: "Come in." ”
Zhao Mingsheng raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and saw a woman coming. The clothes and sideburns are very beautiful, and they look very delicate, which makes people feel the urge to protect. Zhao Mingsheng asked, "Who are you?" ”
The woman lowered her head, her voice was as cold as a clear spring, and said, "The people's daughter is Mu Zhen, the daughter of Mu Mansion." Zhao Mingsheng glanced at her: "It turned out to be General Mu's daughter, let it go." Fu buried his head in the dossier and looked at it.
Mu Zhen felt that just talking to this emperor of Hu Guo had already made her breathless, and her face was flushed. Zhao Mingsheng looked up at Mu Zhen again, and asked casually: "I see that your face is still not good, has the imperial doctor shown you?" Mu Zhen was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect the Son of Heaven to be so dead-hearted, and she was even more full of good feelings, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has come to take a look, Your Majesty Lao remembers, and the courtiers are much better." ”
Zhao Mingsheng nodded: "Although Miss Mu is in a small city on the side of the city, her behavior is quite elegant in the capital, and when the war is over, I will talk to General Mu and go back to the capital to play for a few days." Mu Zhen was overjoyed in her heart and said, "The courtiers thank the lord Longen." ”
Seeing that his daughter looked happy, the Wang family said, "Zhen'er, you will take good care of the emperor in the past few days, and let him see that the daughter of my Mu family is no worse than that in the capital." Mu Zhenfei blushed and said angrily: "Mother! Wang smiled: "Yes, yes, Zhen'er has also grown up, and she is no longer a little girl." Mu Zhen said confidently: "I will definitely become the imperial concubine!" Wang clapped her hand with satisfaction, and the Mu Mansion, which was far away in the border area, had a light in the harem, so that she could stand more firmly in the court.
On the second day, Mu Zihe led 70,000 cavalry forward, raising flags and beating drums and shouting battles, but Qiang and Haoyue did not move at all, and their soldiers turned a deaf ear, even if Mu Zihe made a big statement, those soldiers didn't even look at them as if they hadn't heard it. At noon, Mu Zihe's mouth was dry, so he had to collect the flag and stop the drum to rest.
In the tent of Qiang Kingdom, Sun Yu and Mu Mo looked at each other and smiled, Feng Qian charmingly sipped the wine into her mouth, her eyes flashed with essence, Zhao Mingsheng and Yunyan, it will be the death of the two of you in the near future.
After calling for three days in a row, Mu Zihe was already very tired from shouting, and his voice was already hoarse. He really didn't want to go anymore, and was about to explain to the emperor when a spy suddenly rushed in, and he panicked: "Your Majesty! Emperor Mu Mo of the Qiang State led 50,000 elite troops all the way this morning, and several small cities nearby - Jinzhou, Changzhou, and Chizhou were lost! ”
Zhao Mingsheng slapped the table and was furious: "Where is the commander of the sentinel army!" The commander of the sentinels said: "The patrol sentinels have been poisoned, and the people who changed shifts this morning found it." Zhao Mingsheng was in a hurry, coughed a few times, his expression changed and he tried to suppress it: "You bunch of waste!" ”
Mu Zihe knelt down and said: "Sun Yu and Mu Mo are now defending and attacking one by one, capturing the city all the way to grab gold and silver, just wanting to use this as a threat to negotiate with us to recapture the city that was occupied forty years ago. Zhao Mingsheng snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that their ambitions don't stop there." ”
Zhao Mingsheng said with a fierce face: "You I personally led 70,000 elite troops to pursue Mumo's people, Mu Zihe commanded 70,000 horses to attack Sun Yu head-on, and Mu Yang left Yongcheng with the remaining 60,000 people!" Mu Zihe stopped: "Your Majesty's personal expedition is really too risky!" Never! Zhao Mingsheng glared at him fiercely; General Mu is afraid that he will retreat more and more as he lives! ”
Mu Yang was very unconvinced to stay behind, how could Zhao Mingsheng not know what he was thinking, he walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Yongcheng is the lifeblood of Hu Guo, the stakes are very high, Mu Yang, you must not take it lightly!" Mu Yang Zhengse said: "The last general is ordered!" ”
Zhao Mingsheng rode a red sweaty horse, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and his armor made him even more majestic, he waved his sword and said: "Let's go!" ”
Since Mu Mo suddenly attacked with 50,000 people, he must have planned to fight quickly, Zhao Mingsheng planned to take advantage of this and start breaking through directly from Mu Mo, and the duel between him and Mu Mo finally came.
Zhao Mingsheng's men quickly intercepted Mu Mo, and the two sides launched a fierce fight. For a time, mourning was all over the field, and blood flowed like a river. The two sides fought from day to evening, Zhao Mingsheng used a modern strategy to train the army, so the comprehensive quality and strength of his army was stronger than Mumo's, and this time for some reason, Mumo's people were very brave, like combat robots. He was attacked by Mumo's people again, and burned the grain and grass, so he had to hastily withdraw his troops and retreat to a hill to rest.
There are Mumo people under the peak, and this place is far away from Yongcheng, and the backup troops can't keep up for the time being, and Zhao Mingsheng's grain and grass are not much left.
Zhao Mingsheng asked the commander of the Huotou Army: "How many days can the remaining grain and grass last?" The commander wiped his sweat and said, "Return to Your Majesty, five days at most." Zhao Mingsheng's expression became solemn, it was only five days, and the other party was obviously prepared, he was still careless.
Hongmeng reported: "Master, as you expected, Sun Yu turned the tiger away from the mountain, turned his head and attacked Yongcheng, and burned the grain and grass in Yongcheng. Mu Zihe and Mu Yang temporarily repelled Sun Yu's men. Zhao Mingsheng punched the stone: "Damn! Using the same trick twice, this is a clear provocation! ”
Hongmeng said: "Master, some places are very strange. The soldiers who took care of the grain and grass said that the grain and grass suddenly caught fire, and there was no trace of the enemy at all. Our soldiers said that the army of Haoyue Kingdom was more vicious than the tiger wolf, and said, ....." Zhao Mingsheng stared at him fiercely, and Hongmeng said: "It is said to be like a ghost army." ”
Zhao Mingsheng's eyelids jumped fiercely: "Could it be her!?" ”
Mu Mo looked up at the hill and waved his hand: "Burn it for me!" He laughed at the firelight, and a cruel and tyrannical expression spread across his face.
Zhao Mingsheng's army had to be withdrawn from the hillside, and Hongmeng raised his machete and shouted, "Everyone! Protect Your Majesty! "Mumo's people are waiting for them to throw themselves into the net. Hongmeng waved his hand to cut down an enemy cavalryman and dismounted, helping Zhao Mingsheng to get on the horse, Zhao Mingsheng was choked by the smoke and his throat was hoarse, he inhaled too much carbon dioxide, and his head was very dizzy.
Mu Mo opened his bow, put on a bow and arrow, and shot at the back. Mu Mo said coldly: "The best poison and Feng Linglou's evil and dark spell are very suitable for you." ”
With a "snort", the sharp arrow penetrated the flesh, and Zhao Mingsheng spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out. Hongmeng's eyes were quick, and he dragged Zhao Mingsheng on his back. Hongmeng stabbed the horse's buttocks hard, and the horse was frightened, and kicked forward with both front legs, jumping out quickly.
