103 The stunned little Zhuangzi
Ji Fang led the army of fifteen million Nine Shadows, and after joining Xiluo and Beiyin, he advanced into the hinterland of Dameng.
In the first battle in the territory of Xiluo and Beiyin, hundreds of thousands of troops of Dameng wandered in the two countries, burning and looting everywhere, doing all kinds of evil, they each rode a war horse, some rode two, the war horse was also extremely obedient, all of them were specially trained, and they could travel hundreds of miles a day.
The Great Mongolian army walked very fast, everywhere they went, they killed people when they saw them, and they ran when they saw a huge army, and the Xiluo army and the Northern Yin army were not good at fighting immediately, and they were chased and killed, but they didn't get anything.
The Great Mongolian army came and went freely, and when it encountered a small number of enemy troops, it rushed in without saying a word, so that the army was in great confusion, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
This tactic is very similar to Wu Chengying's guerrilla tactics back then, and the Great Mongolian Army was born a good hand.
By the time Ji Fang's army arrived, Da Meng had already fled back.
Before encountering the main force of Dameng, it lost millions of troops, which greatly reduced the morale of the army.
According to Fan Wei's suggestion, after the congregation army converged, they began to stride towards the town of Dameng, saying that it was a town, but in fact it was just some earthen walls and earth cities.
Rest is just a random place, simply set up a tent, like a wild man.
The army of nearly 40 million advanced blatantly, and the Mongolian army did not dare to resist head-on, it was indeed extremely cunning, and when they arrived at an earthen city, there was no one in the city, and all the coalition army got was an empty city.
When the army rested, the Great Mongolian army suddenly rushed in from somewhere, and after killing it, it rushed out of the army without a fight, and floated away.
In desperation, Nangong Xin suggested that the army be divided into two groups, one east and one west.
Fan Wei and Nangong Xin marched to the west with an army of 20 million, and Ji Fang went to the east with 20 million.
In the form of casting a net, slowly killing, this can not only reduce the vain loss of the march, but also save the time of the expedition, and also share the military strength of Dameng.
The population of Dameng is already sparse, and each leads an army of 20 million, with the talents of Fan Wei and Ji Fang, it is enough to deal with it easily.
Wu Chengying saw that the Great Mongolian Army was fighting on war horses, in order to deal with it, he also led five million cavalry, sitting on horses every day, training to fight on horses, and when he encountered the Great Mongolian Army, they were fiercer and more aggressive, rampage, and this momentum alone also made the morale of the army slightly higher.
After coming to Dameng, the altitude sickness of the army appeared, and the breathing was not smooth, dizzy, and the whole body was weak, making the army seem to be dead.
The sick are sick, the vomiting is vomiting, and the slightly worse ones have already collapsed.
Coupled with the abnormal climate change in the morning and evening, living in the south all year round with the usual season, where can I stand such weather, half of the soldiers in the army are decadent.
For this situation, although Ji Fang had expected it, he didn't expect it to be so serious, among them, the probability of the Nine Shadows army suffering from this disease was extremely high, and the soldiers of Xiluo Beiyin, who had originally lived in the border land, did adapt the fastest.
Helplessly, Ji Fang rested on the spot, and when all the soldiers recovered, it was already more than a month later.
During the encounter of several waves of the Mongolian army, Ji Fang was not polite, 3,000 cannons directly aimed at the Mongolian army, under a bombardment, so that the Mongolian army was silent, collapsed, Wu Chengying led the cavalry army to rush in, slashed and killed tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers, and won a breakthrough victory.
With such an experience, Ji Fang was happy, all the way forward, to a big city, Ji Fang didn't even come forward to scold, three thousand cannons directly bombarded without saying a word, so that the entire urbanization into a sea of fire and ruins, so far, Dameng has lost hundreds of thousands of people one after another, until now, the Dameng military knows the magic weapon of Jiuyou.
The remaining 2,000 cannons, Ji Fang handed over to Mo Shu, and followed Fan Wei to the west
Having said that, three days have passed since Liu Xuan asked Xiao Zhuangzi to go to Huangling to investigate Liu Meng.
In the afternoon of the third day, Xiao Zhuangzi ran back with a pale face.
At this time, in the hall of recuperation, Liu Xuan sat at the desk, looked at the little Zhuangzi kneeling in front of him with a silent face, and listened to him quietly:
Xiao Zhuangzi according to Liu Xuan's instructions, secretly went to the Huangling, did not alarm the guards, went to the tomb of Emperor Taizu alone, there was nothing strange around, Xiao Zhuangzi did not dare to slack off, inspected for a long time, and finally arrived at the temporary palace of the fourth princess, and did not see Liu Meng himself, but at the gate of the palace there were more than a dozen palace maids, Xiao Zhuangzi has a good memory, these palace maids are not the ones Liu Xuan saw the day before yesterday, but they are also young and beautiful.
What made Xiao Zhuangzi strange was that there were more or less traces of beatings on their bodies.
Xiao Zhuangzi waited for a long time, but he didn't see Liu Meng's figure until late at night, so he turned around and went back, found his master Li Gonggong, and spent the night at Li Gonggong's place.
However, when Gonggong Li asked him the purpose of coming here, Xiao Zhuangzi naturally said the truth, but he didn't expect Gonggong Li's body to tremble, his expression changed greatly, and he repeatedly asked if it was the emperor's Liu Xuan's instructions before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What did Grandpa Li say to you?" Hearing this, Liu Xuan frowned, could it be that Gonggong Li was so afraid of Liu Meng?
Xiao Zhuangzi's face trembled, as if he was afraid of something, hesitated for a moment and replied respectfully, "Back to the emperor, Gonggong Li said that since it is the emperor's idea, ask the slave to complete it as much as possible, and he doesn't know much about other things, just warn the slave to be careful." ”
Liu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, he really couldn't figure it out, Liu Meng was his fourth sister, it stands to reason that even if he was brutal, he would not let Gonggong Li, who served in front of the emperor all the year round, look so jealous, and listening to Xiao Zhuangzi's statement, Gonggong Li must have hidden something at that time.
"Go on." Liu Xuan said coldly, and Xiao Zhuangzi answered and continued.
On the second day, Xiao Zhuangzi said goodbye to Gonggong Li, and came to Liu Meng's palace, just arrived at the gate of the palace, Xiao Zhuangzi heard the crying and begging for mercy inside, quietly approached to see, let Xiao Zhuangzi's eyes widen, the sound came from the palace, at this time, more than a dozen maids at the door stood outside the door with cold expressions, and on the ground next to them knelt three or five young maids who had just been sent two days ago, they were full of tears, their bodies trembled, as if they were afraid of something.
Although there are no scars on his body, there are several crimson palm prints on his face.
Suddenly, there was a miserable cry for help from the palace, and then it stopped abruptly, and it didn't take long for the scene of Xiao Zhuangzi gasping for cold air into his eyes.
Liu Meng was covered in blood, holding a dagger in his hand, and a bucket of bright red blood
