Chapter 41: Villain's Behavior
Mu Chenmo thought that he must first stop the five thousand cavalry of Yumen Pass from coming back, and then take advantage of the unstable morale of the soldiers in Yangguan to attack quickly, and he must have opened his mind in his heart.
"General Li Meng, I order you to bring 2,000 cavalry to drag the 5,000 cavalry of the Huns at Yumen Pass."
Li Meng stood up and looked embarrassed: "General Mu, I'm afraid it's ......"
Mu Chenmo turned around and nodded at Gu Han and said.
"General Li, this is my military advisor Gu Han, go with you to intercept, he will give you a detailed explanation."
Li Meng went down with Gu Han to prepare with a stomach full of questions.
Mu Chenmo looked at Yang Xuan: "General Yang, you sit in Yumen Pass, and I will take two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to Yangguan." ”
Yang Xuan watched Mu Chenmo give orders one by one, and his heart gave birth to a terrifying state of mind in the future, if he could really repel the Hun cavalry in front of Yumen Pass and recapture Yangguan, it would be good to hand over this handsome seal to him.
Mu Chenmo and Zhou Qi Xiaoqiang went down to order troops, walked to the barracks and considered it before the reinforcements, compared with the soldiers who have been stationed in the frontier for many years, the new soldiers must have a more urgent desire to make meritorious contributions, not to mention the fate of the journey.
"Captain Qian, help me order 5,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry." Mu Chenmo looked at Captain Qian and said.
Captain Qian ordered the men and horses, and Mu Chenmo walked to the point platform and shouted to the soldiers underground.
"I, Mu Chenmo, promise you that you will win this trip, but the premise is that you all have to obey the dispatch, if you disobey the order, defect without permission, and behead!"
Mu Chenmo walked off the platform and came to Captain Qian's side: "Five hundred people are still there." ”
Captain Qian nodded: "All of them are here, please send General Mu." ”
He was convinced by this Mu Xiao General, and when he exterminated the mountain bandits, he knew that he was a young man with great wisdom and close to demons.
The group set off for Yangguan, and Mu Chenmo asked Zhou Qi, Xiaoqiang and Captain Qian to bring a thousand soldiers and a hundred cavalry to surround the four city gates, telling them that if there was a war inside, it was only allowed......
Mu Chenmo himself came to the north gate of Yangguan with the others, and nodded to the soldiers who knew the Xiongnu language in advance, only to see the first group shouting.
"Brothers inside, the tribal sacrifice said, the gods have condemned the sin, all of you who are sick tonight have the plague, and after five days, Yangguan will become a dead city, kill the sick people, and flee quickly."
Mu Chenmo ordered them to work in groups of ten, the first group shouted on both sides, the second group began to make the sound of fighting, and then the third group shouted intermittently...... has always made a false impression that there are chasing soldiers after the desertion of soldiers and horses.
Finally, there was the sound of weapons fighting inside, Mu Chenmo ordered Zhou Qi Xiaoqiang and them to send soldiers to besiege the situation, only to see the cavalry running back and forth with the thin branches tied to the tail of the horse, and the soldiers used their feet to hide and make the sound of walking.
The guards on the Tucheng of Yangguan finally couldn't hold their breath and began to send scouts to check, Mu Chenmo ordered the archers to shoot all the people who came out, and when the generals defending the city came to the Tucheng again to check, they only heard Mu Chenmo shouting.
"Shoot."
The archers shot at the general standing at the head of the city, and the general was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and his own soldiers hurriedly helped him down and persuaded him.
"Captain Dudu, let's withdraw first, and stay in the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood."
Thinking of the plague raging in the city, the captain of the capital had just seen the dust outside carrying out the encirclement and suppression of the soldiers of the Qi State, and he had already had the intention of retreating, and the guards kept persuading.
Xin Yiheng ordered all forces to be concentrated to find the easiest place to break through and launch a breakthrough, and hacked all the sick soldiers and people in the city to death.
Just when Mu Chenmo and the others were performing hard, the gate of the northern city opened, and the Hun Captain led all the garrisons to start a reactionary and fierce breakthrough battle.
When Mu Chenmo saw them come out, he ordered the archers to shoot cavalry for the first echelon, and the pikemen to tie horses for the second echelon.
The Huns had no intention of fighting, Mu Chenmo deliberately released the water, and they quickly broke out of the encirclement and ran to the east.
Mu Chenmo sent cavalry to feign pursuit, and quickly returned to the camp after chasing for five or six miles.
After finishing the team, I entered Yangguan City, only to see a river of blood, the corpses of the Hun soldiers and the corpses of the people in the city were lying on the streets, and all the joy of seizing the city was washed away when they saw this scene.
The soldier began to get angry, and I don't know who shouted: "Damn the Huns." ”
Mu Chenmo looked at the scene in front of him with tears in his eyes, and the vivid human lives disappeared in an instant and turned into purgatory on earth.
No matter how many similar pictures I saw on TV in my previous life, I still couldn't accept it when I faced it in reality, not to mention that some people died directly or indirectly because of her, and my heart twitched a little every time I breathed.
Raising his head to force back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, he forced himself to retract his weakness and ordered.
"Everyone obeyed the order, cleaned up the battlefield, collected the corpses, and built a wooden frame to burn."
Captain Qian watched the thin young man in front of him go from being shocked at the beginning to being unbearable and then quickly making the right decision, both decisive and compassionate, and his heart to follow became more determined.
Arrange all the defenses in Yangguan City, order Captain Qian to stay and guard the city, and Mu Chenmo took Zhou Qi and Xiaoqiang back to Yumen Pass.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of Yumen Gate, they saw Gu Han, and when they saw Gu Han nodding at him, he understood that they had completed the task.
The group came to Yang Xuan's main account, and saw Yang Xuan standing outside the account with Shuai Yin and the deputy generals in his hands to greet him.
"General Mu, welcome to Triumph." After speaking, Yang Xuan handed the handsome seal to Mu Chenmo.
This battle convinced him, Yang Xuan had to sigh in his heart, conformism can only be passively beaten, although Mu Chenmo's approach is ungentlemanly, but he won and recaptured the lost Yangguan City, which can be regarded as a shame for him.
Thinking about the excitement of Li Meng's return to the camp just now, and looking at Gu Han who was following Mu Chenmo, Yang Xuan stroked his beard and thought, old, the world is the world of young people, and when this battle is over, he should go home and hug his grandson.
Qi Yu woke up and heard that Mu Chenmo not only captured Yangguan last night, but also beat away the Hun cavalry guarding in front of Yumen Pass.
Stunned, he pinched Xiao Sanzi hard, and in the voice of Xiao Sanzi shouting in pain, he made sure that this was really not a dream, and quickly got dressed, he decided to go out and see for himself, otherwise he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.
Jinluan Palace glanced at Gonggong Cao at the emperor as early as possible: "Read the good news to them." ”
"Mu Chenmo led the soldiers to recover Yangguan City." Gonggong Cao's shrill voice filled the entire hall.
"He is worthy of being the son of the general who protects the country, the tiger father has no dog son, reward." The emperor praised happily.
The ministers knelt down and shouted long live, and the emperor laughed.
Mu Chenmo didn't know what was happening in the capital, standing in front of the map of the handsome tent, frowning and looking at the terrain of the border pass, thinking about how to fight the next battle.
Qi Yu strode into the tent, looked at Mu Chenmo standing in front of the map, and said.
"Mu Chenmo, yesterday was really the Yangguan City you conquered." Qi Yu's eyes were full of incredulity.
How could such an unbelievable thing happen overnight, after waking up in the morning and learning about it, he asked almost everyone, but he still couldn't believe it.
Mu Chenmo looked at Qi Yu in front of him who refused to accept his recapture of Yangguan City, thinking that he usually didn't do things so badly, why couldn't he accept this thing, or his self-esteem had been hit too hard.
"It's not that I recaptured Yangguan, could it be that you recovered it in your dream." Mu Chenmo sneered.
Qi Yu saw Mu Chenmo's disdainful eyes, and said unconvinced, "You are a villain, and you have lost your gentlemanly demeanor." ”
"Qi Yu, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, do you understand?" Mu Chenmo looked him up and down and said, "As long as it is important to be able to win, do you have to take the lives of tens of thousands of people to maintain your worthless gentleman image as you said?" ”
Qi Yu was suddenly speechless, and after muttering for a while, he still wanted to refute the report from the scout in front of him.
"General Mu, last night, the two fleeing Hun cavalry formed a team to turn around and head towards Yumen Pass."
Mu Chenmo didn't have the heart to leave when he heard this, Qi Yu turned around and looked at the map, Qi Yu knew that the business was important, so he didn't entangle and turned to leave.
Mu Chenmo asked Gu Han to invite Yang Xuan to the account to discuss how to deal with it.
Mu Chenmo and the three of them stood in front of the map, and Yang Xuan spoke.
"The Huns are good at cavalry and archery, we used to defend the city, and their supplies couldn't keep up, so they naturally retreated."
