064 Night Raid
What Liu Xuan said was right, Wu Chengying led an army of 300,000 to break Nangong Jin's 2 million army, from Jiuyou to Daluo so far, he has never lost a battle, he is young and vigorous, and his arrogance is too arrogant.
The reason why Liu Xuan dared to assert like this is that Nangong Li is a person, Wu Chengying thinks he knows Nangong Li's character, and Liu Xuan also knows that compared with Nangong Li and Nangong Jin, it is indeed more than one grade worse.
Nangong Li is greedy for life and afraid of death, narrow-minded, Wu Chengying is invincible, he must think that Nangong Li will never go out of the city to face the battle, and in Liu Xuan's opinion, Wu Chengying's 300,000 army has not seen any so-called magic weapons, and they have no intention of forcibly attacking the city, so there is only one possibility, they are delaying time.
As expected, Nangong Li adopted his strategy.
That night, Nangong Li ordered Wu Hong to lead a million troops from Beicheng to secretly detour to the river bank and go south.
Liu Xuan did not go on the expedition, he still guarded outside Wu Ling's room, as he expected, even though he came up with this strategy, but Nangong Li did not tell Wu Hong about this person who made the plan, but this is exactly what Liu Xuan wants to see, his goal is not really to give Nangong Li his life.
Looking up at the full moon in the night sky, tonight will be unusually long.
Wu Chengying's army was stationed in a camp eighty miles away from the city, unscrupulous, and although there were patrols around, it was because they expected Nangong Li to be as timid as a mouse, so they were so blatant.
In the middle of the night, Wu Hong took a million military divisions, with the faint moonlight, marched for a hundred miles overnight, and went around to the rear of the Jiuyou Army.
By the time the Nine Shadows Army found out, it was already too late.
"Enemy attack!" The earth-shattering gongs and drums sounded in the camp, and the whole army was shocked, and a large number of Daluo troops in the distance swarmed in, blocking the way of the Jiuyou Army.
When Wu Chengying saw this scene, his heart was shocked, he didn't expect how the Da Luo army had unknowingly circled their rear, and the distance was already so close.
And at this moment, in the direction of Lizhou City, there were also millions of military divisions killing in this direction.
Under the attack of the two ways, Wu Chengying's face changed greatly, "Kill!" ”
The 300,000 army of Jiuyou rushed to the southern side, for today's plan, that is, to concentrate a little bit and kill a bloody road, it is the best plan, he didn't expect that Nangong Li would have such courage, it turned out that the battle under the city during the day was a lost army's strategy, so he deliberately mistook Nangong Li for not daring to fight.
The two armies fought together, the Da Luo army quickly surrounded the Jiuyou army, Wu Chengying rushed to the front first, holding a spear and a big sword, slashing left and right, if you cut melons and vegetables, you are invincible.
When the army saw it, the morale was great, and the courage was incomparable, but helplessly, under the local army of millions, the strong people were also exhausted, and it was difficult to be overstretched, and an average of three or four people beat one person, even if you have great ability, you will fall.
On the battlefield, the crossbowmen of the Daluo Army fired thousands of arrows in unison, shooting towards the Jiuyou Army, countless soldiers fell unwillingly, and the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed and entangled together.
"Uncle Fang!" On the battlefield, a rain of arrows penetrated Fang Li's chest, and Wu Chengying was shocked when he saw this.
"General Wu, go quickly, leave me alone!" Fang Li held back the pain, shouted, danced the giant axe in his hand, and rushed into the enemy army, killing all sides.
Hundreds of people surrounded the Daluo army, raised their knives and slashed them, Fang Li fought several knives in his body, the cold light exploded, the blood flew up, dozens of heads flew away, his body was covered with blood, his face was fierce and distorted, as if he was a killing god, invincible.
"The one who takes the head of the oak will have a bounty of a thousand taels!" The Daluo soldiers were terrified, and they didn't know who suddenly shouted, and the soldiers were shocked, and shouted again to kill.
In the end, Fang Li was exhausted, seriously injured, already in a trance, and under the siege of hundreds of people, he was cut into meat puree in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Wu Chengying resisted the urge to rush down, turned to the front, and casually hacked the enemy soldiers who blocked him, shouting, "Rush!" ”
This battle was fought for less than an hour, the morning sun had just risen, and there was a slight chill in the air, and at this moment, a little bit of blood was added.
The ground was covered with corpses, blood stained the earth, Wu Chengying led the army out of the siege, and fled towards Linjiang City, and the Daluo army won.
Wu Chengying's 300,000 army, under some inventory, nearly 200,000 casualties, and nearly 400,000 casualties in the Daluo army.
The Da Luo army returned victorious, the city was celebrated, the morale was greatly increased, and Wu Hong's prestige was greatly improved, and it spread all over Liu Xuan and his recruits.
However, in Liu Xuan's view, exchanging more than 400,000 troops for Jiuyou's 200,000 army, to be precise, should be regarded as a loss, but in terms of morale, it can be regarded as a victory.
Nangong Li seemed extremely happy, greatly rewarded the soldiers of the city, and washed the dust for Wu Hong's army, Lizhou City solved the urgent need, and the big stone in his heart also fell, this Nine Shadows Army returned in defeat, the loss was so great, it is said that the remaining army of Nine Shadows is now less than 400,000.
A few days later, Wu Chengying returned to Linjiang City with 100,000 remnants of the army.
Liu Yi and others personally greeted him, and when they saw this scene, their hearts were shocked.
Under careful questioning, it was learned that Nangong Li actually used the strategy of 'Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang', deliberately led the army to fight during the day, but quietly intercepted the rear road at night, killing Wu Chengying by surprise.
After listening to Wu Chengying's narration, Liu Yi didn't believe that Nangong Li would have such courage and strategy, presumably, there must be someone under his command who made a plan, this person is by no means simple, he expected Wu Chengying to be arrogant, so he came up with this plan, but this also happened to give Wu Chengying an excellent lesson, even though he had a lot of achievements, but now it is a real fiasco.
Wu Chengying knelt in front of the generals to plead guilty, Liu Yi just scolded a few words, and did not really punish him, the most important thing now is to build artillery and take Lizhou City in one fell swoop.
Now there are more than 300,000 left in the Jiuyou Army, and every step must be extremely careful, and every soldier can be kept as much as possible without loss, if they are still as arrogant and reckless as Wu Chengying, what strength do they have left to hit the Great Luo Emperor Capital.
And Liu Yi's only headache now is that their military strength is obviously not enough, in addition to constantly building artillery, they can't go to Jiuyou for help, Jiuyou's existing standing army is three million, that is the last army of Jiuyou, unless it is absolutely necessary, it must not be deployed at will, although now although half of Da Luo's country has been taken, if Liu Yi gives up at this time, the Da Luo army will go east in one fell swoop, kill him without leaving a piece of armor, and there will be no place to turn over.
The emperor doesn't know life and death, so they can only bear it
