Chapter 635: Counting is Counting (2)

Night finally fell, and the Mengshan Chu camp was still not conquered by the Wei army after all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Xu Yin was not in a hurry at all, because in the daytime battle, the Fencheng army under his command and the Yanling army under Qu Cheng had rich gains, and the total number of Chu soldiers killed by these two Wei states had already exceeded 5,000, which exceeded the strength of the Mengshan Chu battalion on the surface.

Therefore, Xu Yin actually wanted to see what kind of expression this Mengshan defender Dou Lian would look on at this moment.

And as Xu Yin guessed, at this moment, Meng San's guard general Dou Lian is simply an ugly face with a beep dog.

I remember that in the offensive and defensive battle in the afternoon, Dou Lian was worried that the rotation would make Wei General Xu Yin see through his intentions, so he didn't dare to call his hidden soldiers when he saw the Chu army halfway up the mountain in a state of exhaustion one by one.

And what about Wei General Xu Yin?

However, it was quite inauthentic to call Cai Baohu, Deng Peng, Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gong Yesheng, and Zuo Qiumu to attack the Mengshan Chu camp in batches, and did not give the thousands of Chu soldiers who defended the Chu camp time to rest.

You know, how many Chu soldiers are there on the surface of the Mengshan Chu camp? It's only five or six thousand when it's full, and how many Wei soldiers are there who attacked the Chu camp with wheel warfare this time?

Fifteen thousand!

The 15,000 Wei army fought 5,000 Chu troops, the former had sufficient time to rest, while the latter did not even have time to take a breath.

Perhaps at first, the 5,000 Chu troops deliberately released water and did not counterattack too violently, so that Yuanmen could continue to be "kept" in the hands of the Wei army.

But they really can't beat it.

It took four hours for two rounds, and even a man with iron was too tired to lift a weapon.

And it turns out that the Chu soldiers halfway up the mountain are not iron-clad men, they have actually been wiped out in those four hours.

Don't look at the Mengshan Chu camp is still in the hands of the Chu army, but the Chu soldiers guarding the military camp are no longer the wave of people who guarded the military camp four hours ago, the original Chu soldiers have been skillfully killed by Xu Yin, forcing Dou Lian to transfer the Chu soldiers he had hidden in advance from the bunker in Mengshan.

I remember that at the beginning, Chu General Doulian was still a little worried, worried about what Wei General Xu Yin would see through, after all, the strength of his Mengshan Chu battalion on the surface was only about six or seven thousand, seven or eight thousand, and so far, more than five thousand soldiers have been killed in battle, but the "strange" thing is that his Mengshan Chu battalion still "shows" enough troops, in this case, even a fool can see that there is a ghost in it.

However, to Dou Lian's surprise, Wei general Xu Yin did not react to this, and continued to attack Mengshan slowly and methodically, slowly attacking Mengshan with wheel warfare, without finding that the situation was wrong and immediately withdrawing his troops as Dou Lian guessed.

As if a bang exploded in Dou Lian's mind, he immediately understood: that Wei general Xu Yin had already seen through this matter!

That is to say, when he was still thinking about attracting the Wei army here, so he made all kinds of moves to limit the combat effectiveness of his own army, the Wei general Xu Yin was secretly snickering while asking the Wei army under his command to harvest the lives of his Chu army.

It's ridiculous that he was worried that if his Mengshan military camp exposed far beyond the surface of combat effectiveness, would he frighten the Wei army at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't expect that the Wei general Xu Yin actually took advantage of his consideration and quietly let him lose more than 5,000 soldiers.

What's even worse is that because the Wei army used rotation tactics, the sacrifice of more than 5,000 Chu soldiers did not achieve the expected effect at all, and did not consume most of the physical strength and energy of the Wei soldiers as usual.

And this, summed up in three words: a big loss!

It is undeniable that the army of the state of Chu has never paid attention to the number of its own soldiers, but this is limited to the peasant soldiers recruited temporarily, and a regular army like the regular army of the state of Chu, which loses more than 5,000 soldiers in a battle and does not get the harvest it deserves, will also be punished.

Tut! Xu Yin's old dog ...... is worthy of being a veteran of the Wei State who has been in Fencheng for more than ten years, and he is so treacherous...... However, did he really see through the tactics of our army?

Dou Lian, who was alone in the tent of the Chinese army, couldn't sit still, walked to the table in the tent, and looked at the map on the table.

I saw that on the map, the geographical locations of Monshan, Xiangcheng, Danshan, Longji Mountain and other places were clearly marked, and in addition, there were three small stones placed on the map.

These three small stones, two of which are placed in the plain area in the center of Mengshan, Xiangcheng, and Danshan, undoubtedly refer to the two Wei armies of Fencheng and Yanling, which are attacking Mengshan at this moment.

And there is a small pebble, which is left alone in the distance of a palm on the map, most likely referring to the third Wei army that participated in the alliance of the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei, the Shang Water Army.

"......" Dou Lian glanced at the location of Longji Mountain on the map, and then glanced at the small pebble representing the Shang Shui Army, and his eyelids jumped slightly.

After half a ring, he couldn't help muttering, "Why don't you come in?" …… This third Wei army. ”

When he said that he came in, he actually meant a pocket environment on the map - Monshan, Xiangcheng, and Danshan, which just formed a bag mouth.

He deliberately set the entrance and exit of the Mengshan military camp to the east of Mengshan, just to attract the Wei army to attack Mengshan from the east.

This matter is going very well, after all, at the moment, the Wei army at the foot of the mountain has indeed been attacked by Mengshan and Xiangcheng on both sides, but the strength of the Wei army is very strong, even if it is attacked from both sides, there is still no tendency of defeat.

You can't win with a two-sided attack, but what if it's a three-sided attack? Or even a flanking attack?

According to Dou Lian's original plan, he led the Wei army to the plain terrain between Mengshan, Xiangcheng and Danshan, and when the time came, the friendly army of Longji Mountain sent another army to detour behind the Wei army and completely seal the mouth of the bag, thinking that even if the Wei army had 50,000 people, it was just a fish and turtle in the urn.

Yes, the key point of this encirclement and annihilation of the Chu army lies in the Chu army in Longji Mountain.

Although in the past few battles involving Fu Lisai, the Chu army of Longji Mountain has always been the side response of Fu Lisai, this does not mean that the Chu army of Longji Mountain cannot send troops to help Xiangcheng's side.

If the Wei army did not take this into account, then Dou Lian thought that it was very likely that the Wei army would be completely annihilated in this battle.

You must know that this Wei army is the Western Route Army of the Qilu-Wei Three Kingdoms Alliance, if this partial division is wiped out, Dou Lian believes that it can deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Qilu Alliance.

But the problem at the moment is that the two Wei armies, the Fencheng Army and the Yanling Army, have indeed stepped into the trap designed by Dou Lian, but the third Wei Army and the merchant army are lying in the bag, and they have no intention of coming in.

This...... What to do?

This question bothered Dou Lian all afternoon, but in the end, he still didn't send someone to deliver the news to Longji Mountain.

Since no news was delivered to Longji Mountain, it means that the original plan will not be canceled.

If nothing else, after discovering that the Shang Shui army had not yet set foot in the trap of their Chu army, the defenders of Longji Mountain were bound to change their tactics and adopt a sneak attack to annihilate this third Wei army, and then according to the original plan, they would attack the Fen army and the Yan Ling army that were already in the trap from all sides.

But somehow, Dou Lian looked at the small stone that represented the Shang Shui Army, and was slightly flustered, as if he was making an extremely wrong decision at the moment.

Will the merchant army take precautions?

Dou Lian pondered for a moment, but couldn't help but think on the bright side: the Shang Shui Army was only 20,000 people, and there was no perfect military camp protection, and the Chu army in Longji Mountain attacked the Shang Shui Army at night, and it was not impossible to defeat the other party.

Dou Lian had no doubt that the friendly forces of Longji Mountain would be victorious when they attacked the Shang Shui Army at night, after all, the continuous hills of Longji Mountain, where tens of thousands of Chu troops were stationed, was the place with the most troops stationed in this area except for Fu Lisai.

There are 20,000 merchant water troops, so it's okay for me to dispatch 50,000, right?

Even if you can't completely annihilate the Shang and Navy Army, at least you can expel the other party, and then, according to the original plan, you will eat the Fencheng Army and the Yanling Army in the bag mouth first.

It's also an exciting victory!

"Huh......" Dou Lian let out a long breath, calming his somewhat uneasy heart.

At the same time, as Dou Lian had planned, on the side of Longji Mountain, an army had already taken advantage of the darkness to quietly walk through the mountains and forests.

Longji Mountain is only twenty miles away from Xiangcheng and Fulisai, and it is about the same distance from the location of the Shang Shui Army, which is about twenty places.

In the station yard of the past dynasties, more than 20 miles is not a very long distance, at most two hours.

Of course, it may take more time to walk through the mountains and forests as carefully as the Chu army of Longji Mountain.

It's a pity that even though the Chu army of Longji Mountain was already very careful, they still didn't notice that above the trees near them, in the shadows of the tree trunks, there were several figures staring at them indifferently.

Shangshui Green Crow!

Sure enough, it was expected by His Royal Highness......

Duan Pei, the leader of the Green Crows, hid in the shadow of the tree trunk, looking at the Chu soldiers who passed under his feet one after another with an expressionless face, and secretly sneered.

It took a long stick of incense to make this extremely large Chu army, and then passed through the mountains and forests under the eyelids of the crows.

At this time, the green crows who were monitoring these Chu troops nearby quickly gathered together and listened to Duan Pei's task arrangement.

"Ah Qi, Ah Jiu, and Fifteen, the three of you will lead a team to contact Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng to assist them. -- I'll leave it to you. Duan Pei said in a low voice.

Duan Qi, Duan Jiu, and Duan Fifteen, these three were all good hands of Duan Lou and were brothers that Duan Pei trusted very much.

The three nodded, and then each of them retreated.

At the same time, the Chu army in Longji Mountain was still cautiously sneaking towards the location of the Shang Shui army.

I have to say that Nanmenyang, one of the guards of Longji Mountain, attached great importance to this night attack, so he was also extremely vigilant on the way to the humble barracks of the Shang Water Army, for fear of bumping into the patrol guards of the Wei Army.

But the strange thing was that until they came to the vicinity of the humble military camp where the Shang Shui army was located, he didn't see any Wei army patrol guards.

This made Nanmen Yang secretly beat a drum in his heart: There won't be any traps, right?

But when he thought about the number of troops he had brought with him, the uneasiness in his heart was immediately suppressed.

Ten teams of soldiers arrived one after another, each team of 5,000 people, a total of 50,000 soldiers!

In the absence of perfect military camp protection on the other side, it was more than enough to attack the merchant army with only 20,000 soldiers with 50,000 soldiers.

Thinking of this, Nanmenyang no longer had any scruples, and suddenly launched an attack outside the Wei camp, leading the army to take the lead in the Wei army.

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of Chu soldiers from Longji Mountain roared and rushed into the Wei camp in a hurry.

However, the entire Wei camp was empty, and the barracks and military tents were complete, but it was incredible that there was not a single Wei soldier in the barracks.

"Nope."

A Chu soldier picked up the tent of a tent with a weapon, and when he found it empty, he cried out in disappointment.

And randomly, similar voices come and go.

"Nope!"

"Nope!"

"Not here!"

"No enemy troops were found."

"What about people?" Chu Jiangnanmen Yang looked around in confusion, and the autumn wind, which was already slightly cool, blew him faintly.

20,000 merchant sailors...... Gone out of nowhere? It won't be ...... It can't be something unclean, right?

As a typical Chu person who was affected by the legend of gods and ghosts, Nanmenyang's first reaction was actually this.

However, this is not surprising, after all, Bachu and Chu are the most mythical legends of gods, ghosts and monsters, and it is even said that Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, had to ask the witch to ask the gods to do the law before sending troops, and "please" the gods and ghosts to protect the Chu army on the expedition.

It's already a culture.

And just when Nanmen Yang faintly felt that this place was "unclean", the guards around him seemed to see something, and pointed in one direction in horror and shouted: "General, Longji Mountain ......"

Dragon's Back Mountain?

Nanmen Yang turned his head to look in the direction of Longji Mountain, and then, after being slightly stunned, he couldn't help but open his mouth in shock.

Because for some reason, at this moment, a raging fire broke out in Longji Mountain, and the flames soared into the sky.

At the same time, on the tower of the fortress of Qi Guopi, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, also hurriedly climbed the tower after receiving the report from the generals, and watched the inexplicable fire in the direction of Longji Mountain.

"Ji Run, that little guy, why did you go around Longji Mountain?" Qi King Lu Xi muttered in surprise.

It's no wonder he was so surprised, after all, Longji Mountain is the place where the Chu army has the most troops stationed in this area, except for Fu Lisai, in his opinion, the Wei army should not have much chance to set fire to Longji Mountain.

At this time, beside Lu Xi, the king of Qi, stood the left minister of Qi State, that is, Ji Zhao, the sixth king brother of Zhao Hongrun, and after thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "Presumably, the Chu army of Longji Mountain wants to unite with Xiangcheng and attack Hongrun, and does not want to be seen through by Hongrun, so he will plan and take the opportunity to set fire to Longji Mountain......"

"What a horrible little ghost." Qi King Lu Xi laughed and laughed.

At this time, Ji Zhao turned his head to look at the flag on the side and reminded: "King, it's the west wind tonight." ”

"Hey!"

Qi King Lu Xi obviously understood Ji Zhao's hint, and grinned: "Come on, immediately go out of the fortress to attack Fu Lisai!" …… Even if you can't win, it's good to put pressure on the Chu army! ”

"Yes!"

The generals of the Qi State responded with their fists in response to the order and went down the city tower.

At the same time, in the Fu Lisai of the Chu State, Xiang Mo, the general of the fortress, also heard the news, and stared at the fire in the direction of Longji Mountain with a sinking face.

"What a fool! …… What are Nanmen Yang and Ziche Ji doing with those two guys? ”

At this time, the adjutant general beside him asked, "General, do you want to send someone to support Longji Mountain?" ”

Hearing this, Xiang Mo said coldly: "There are nearly 100,000 troops in Guanglongji Mountain, and the Wei army does not dare to act rashly, compared to ...... At present, Longji Mountain is temporarily powerless to respond to my Fu Licong, and the Qi King who wants to come to the opposite side probably has other thoughts. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered: "Ring the alarm bell, the whole army is on alert, and prepare to meet the night attack of the Qilu coalition army!" ”

"Night attack? Belch...... Be! ”

Tonight, I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to sleep. (To be continued.) )
