β€”β€”β€”β€” the following textβ€”β€”β€”β€”

Right now, it was the beginning of August, and the moonlight was uncertain, and a new moon with a hazy moonlight shone on the land, making the night land seem to be covered with a layer of fog, so that it was even more unrealistic.

Suddenly, Dou Lian's face moved slightly, as he faintly seemed to hear something.

It seemed to be the sound of fighting, all kinds of noisy human voices, and the sound of Jingo touched by weapons, which seemed to take place in the downwind area.

In that direction......

Dou Lian turned his head suspiciously to look south, and after rolling his eyes slightly for a while, he was finally able to affirm what he had heard.

The Wei general Xu Yin is attacking the Xiangcheng Chu army led by the Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huaina brothers on the south side!

The two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai mentioned here are the two Chu generals who sent troops from Xiangcheng before and after the daylight and led the army to support the Mengshan Chu battalion of Doulian.

The two brothers each led 20,000 Chu State troops, and attacked the central guard battalion of the Fencheng army on both sides during the day, which once made Xu Yin feel a dilemma.

It wasn't until Qu Cheng led the Yanling Army to arrive, and his deputy general Yan Mo led a battalion of troops to share the pressure of the Zhongwei Battalion, that Deng Peng, the general of the Zhongwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yin...... Why did you attack the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huaina? Shouldn't he be the first to attack my Monsan?

Dou Lian's face was suspicious.

However, if you think about it carefully, Cloak also feels that Xu Yin's judgment is not wrong: the Mengshan guarded by his Dou Lian has a solid Mengshan Chu camp as a defensive cover, and it is certainly not easy to conquer it; The two Xiangcheng Chu armies of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, like the Fencheng army and Yanling army of Wei, did not have effective defense facilities.

In this case, naturally pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

But the question is, what kind of attitude should he have towards Doulian?

Ignore and stand by? Or send troops to support the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai?

According to common sense, since the Wei general Xu Yin attacked the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, then Dou Lian's side naturally had to send troops to respond and put pressure on the Wei army here.

But in the bottom of his heart, Dou Lian always felt that Xu Yin's attack on the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai was actually to induce him to lead the army down the mountain.

At this moment, the surroundings were pitch black, and Dou Lian did not dare to guarantee that under the dark night, there was a Wei army quietly lurking, preparing to ambush him, or attack Mengshan.

But if you stand by and watch, and see the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai again in the future, wouldn't it be difficult to explain?

After thinking about it, Dou Lian raised his hand and pointed to the dark plain under the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Ji, you lead 3,000 people to attack that direction." ”

Zhang Ji is the name of the middle-aged deputy general next to Dou Lian.

I saw that Zhang Ji immediately hugged his fists and took the order after hearing this, and then it didn't take long for him to lead a Chu army to leave the Mengshan Chu camp and kill him in the direction pointed by Dou Lian.

Dou Lian himself was still standing on the watchtower, staring intently at the dark night in the distance.

Although it is dark in the distance, it is undeniable that there are times when you don't need to use your eyes to understand the situation, and you can just do it with your voice.

It's just that tonight is a westerly wind, and Monsandi is in the upper hand of the entire battlefield, so Dou Lian needs to pay full attention to hear some movement downwind.

Sure enough, in the direction where the deputy general Zhang Ji led the army, it didn't take long for the sound of fighting to be heard.

This made Dou Lian's mood rise all of a sudden.

Is it the encounter between the two armies? Or ambushed?

Dou Lian guessed with a serious expression.

Although he was sure that the lieutenant general Zhang Jihui would be very cautious in the current situation, this did not mean that the latter would not be ambushed by the Wei army.

It wasn't until Dou Lian listened carefully for a while and felt the sound coming from the position of the deputy general Zhang Ji, which was the normal sound of fighting when the two armies encountered, that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because as long as he was not ambushed by the Wei army, Dou Lian thought that the 3,000 people led by Zhang Ji could at least fight against the Chu State for a while.

But to Dou Lian's surprise, just a quarter of an hour later, his lieutenant Zhang Ji sent someone to send a message asking for help.

What surprised Dou Lian even more was that during this period, he also received a request for assistance from the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huaina: he hoped that Dou Lian could send troops to assist them in attacking the Wei army.

I have to say that after receiving these three messages, Dou Lian was taken aback, and looked into the dark distance with an incredible expression.

He originally thought that Xu Yin attacked the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai because he lured him to lead the army down the mountain, but he didn't expect that Xu Yin's attack on the former was very fierce, as if he wanted to destroy the army under the command of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai in this night.

Hey, old dog Xu Yin, you're too underestimating Dou, right?

Dou Lian couldn't help but be a little angry.

If he really let Wei general Xu Yin defeat the armies of the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai under his nose, then where would his face be spent?

Thinking of this, Dou Lian immediately ordered 7,000 troops, ordered the rest of the soldiers to guard the camp, and led the army down the mountain.

He no longer wanted to analyze Xu Yin's true intentions, anyway, in his opinion, as long as he attacked Xu Yin on three sides with Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai, with their 50,000 troops, would he really not be able to suppress the 35,000 troops of the Fencheng Army and the Yanling Army?

Hum! Is it really the main army of Da Chu, the civilian soldiers you have encountered in the past?

Dou Lian sneered secretly.

I have to say that when Dou Lian led 7,000 soldiers to merge with his deputy general Zhang Ji, it did cause a considerable degree of pressure on the Wei army.

After all, the Wei army was fighting on two fronts, the northwest had to deal with the attack of Dou Lian and his deputy general Zhang Ji, and the south, it had to attack the two Xiangcheng Chu armies of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai.

If it was daylight, I believe Xu Yin would not be so worried, after all, he knows the strength of the Fencheng army under his command best, and the friendly Yan Ling army, although he does not know it very well, but also knows that the Yan Ling army has been training every day in order to catch up with the footsteps of the Shang Shui army, and it has been trained for more than a year, and it can be regarded as an army with good combat strength.

But it is a pity that this battle took place at night, at a night that was not suitable for war and fighting.

For example, the soldiers who are fighting at this moment, whether it is the Chu army or the Wei army, seem to have their hands tied, and they can't exert their due strength at all.

In this case, the side with the largest number of people naturally occupies an absolutely advantageous situation.

But even so, Xu Yin's heart was still very calm.

Because in his opinion, since Zhao Hongrun sent troops to Longji Mountain and successfully ignited that hill, it means that His Royal Highness King Su not only saw through the intention of the Chu army of Longji Mountain to send troops to cut off their Wei army's rear route, but also gave Longji Mountain revenge.

In this case, how could His Royal Highness King Su and the merchant army under his command be stupidly waiting for the arrival of the Chu army of Longji Mountain in the same place?

It must have been evacuated one step earlier, allowing the Chu army to pounce.

So, where did His Royal Highness King Su go with the Shang Shui Army?

Perhaps at this moment, His Royal Highness King Su and the merchant army have already quietly come to Mengshan's side......

Glancing at the seemingly peaceful Monsan, Xu Yin stroked his beard.

Not to mention, Xu Yin is really accurate in seeing people, and he has already seen through that Zhao Hongrun is not a peaceful person.

The Anfen mentioned here refers to the fact that when Zhao Hongrun led his troops to fight, he would not rigidly set the tactics recorded in the military book, but would choose to use some strategies suitable for the current situation, and even some tactics that seemed to be jaw-dropping.

For example, the fire on Longji Mountain was sent by Zhao Hongrun to send the three most courageous thousand-man teams in the merchant army, that is, the thousand-man team led by Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng, three thousand-person generals, to Longji Mountain.

And what does this mean to the battlefield of the Western Road?

You must know that Longji Mountain was not originally on the route of the Wei army, and it was not a stronghold of the Chu army that the Wei army had to conquer and uproot, and the biggest task of the Chu army in Longji Mountain was to respond to the Fu Lisan and specifically target the Qilu coalition army under the command of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, not the Wei army.

At present, the fire in Longji Mountain is raging, and it is burning more and more vigorously under the blowing of the west wind at night, which can certainly make another guard on Longji except Nangong Yang Ziche Ji busy with destruction, and he is very busy, and it also makes Lu Xi, the king of Qi, see that Longji Mountain has no time to help Fu Lisai in a short time, and take the opportunity to send troops to attack Fu Lisai.

But in the final analysis, does this mean anything to the Western Road battlefield where the Wei army is located?

Honestly, it doesn't make much sense.

It was nothing more than Zhao Hongrun's childish retaliation against Nangong Yang of Longji Mountain who led the army to sneak attack his Shang Shui Army - in order to avoid serious losses, Zhao Hongrun did not want the Shang Shui Army to fight with the Chu Army led by Nangong Yang in the dark night, so he had to give up the humble camp to the latter, but he was in a bad mood, so he took the opportunity to send three teams of 1,000 people to let them sneak to the area of Longji Mountain and set them on fire, fantasizing about burning a group of Chu troops on Longji Mountain.

He wasn't very distressed that he gave up the humble camp that had just surrounded the camp fence to Nangong Yang, nor did he feel sorry for the military tents in the camp, as long as he had the opportunity to conquer Mengshan this time, what was a simple Wei camp?

Yes, as Xu Yin guessed, Zhao Hongrun led the Shang Shui Army to come out of the shell, and at the same time that Nangong Yang led tens of thousands of Chu troops to attack the Wei camp, he had already quietly come to the north of Mengshan, and hid with the Shang Shui Army in the forest about seven or eight miles away from Mengshan.

Mengshan Chu camp, Zhao Hongrun took the generals to see it once when he arrived in this area, and the Mengshan Chu camp, which was as solid as a fortress, had already been firmly imprinted in his mind.

To tell the truth, the defense facilities of the Mengshan Chu camp are indeed perfect, it can be called a military camp that cannot be conquered in a short time, as long as there are enough Chu troops in the camp to guard, then this camp will be difficult to be conquered by the Wei army in just a few days.

Since this is the case, then skip Monsanto and directly plot against Xiangcheng!

Zhao Hongrun thought to himself.

He desperately needs a good opportunity.

I don't know how long later, several green crows quickly came to him and reported urgently: "Your Highness, General Xu Yin is fighting at night with Mengshan and the Chu army in the south. ”

"Night battles?"

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and then his eyes lit up.

What a Xu Yin!

He praised in his heart. (To be continued.) )
