Chapter Ninety-Three: Behind Enemy Lines

The moon is full and missing, the sky is cloudy and sunny, people have joys and sorrows, and there are partings!

The rain lingered, falling on the Midan River, stirring up circles of water lines, and there was a different artistic conception, but there was no old man who was wearing a coat and fishing leisurely by the river, but it was just dark clouds, full of tense atmosphere, and there was pressure to attack the dock fort outside, and there was pressure to allocate troops inside.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, once a son of heaven and a courtier!

Gong Bingxue is gone, and the generals who are loyal to her are also quietly gone, ready to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, but leaving behind more than 90,000 troops and the power of the two counties!

This is a powerful force, which naturally makes Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi covetous, whoever can get it is the uncrowned king of Qingxiao Kingdom, and it is only a matter of time to become the only king.

With the acquiescence of Gong Xuan Ancestor, the two began to fight openly and secretly, privately co-opting the generals of the palace ice and snow army, and quietly dividing up, in just three days, the power of the Gong clan has changed greatly, from the original three kings to the current two kings to compete for hegemony.

In this confrontation, Gong Xuanzhi had a slight advantage, after all, he was the nominal co-lord of the world, and he had attracted more than 55,000 troops, plus the original 95,000 people, just to reach 100,000 troops; Gong Xuanzhi was slightly second, only more than 43,000 people, plus the original troops, the total strength reached 140,000!

After the division of military power, the weather improved slightly, and the rain stopped temporarily, Gong Xuanwu and Gong Xuanzhi had to give up their estrangement, and after shaking hands and saying goodbye, under the witness of the ancestor of the Gong family, they discussed the attack on the dock fort again.

"Ancestor, our side doesn't know the reality of the enemy's army, and it is really unsafe to mobilize heavy troops to attack the dock fort, so I suggest that the troops divide into two routes, go deep into the rear of the enemy army, destroy their layout in the rear, affect the combat effectiveness of the dock fort, and then break through in one fell swoop and attack Ancheng directly!"

Gong Xuanzhi was in a good mood, and said triumphantly, making the ancestor of the Gong family nod his head in approval, and then looked at Gong Xuanzhi.

"Ancestor, this method is feasible, now what we have to consider is who will attack the dock fort and who will go deep behind enemy lines!"

Gong Xuanzhi also agreed to this proposal, but said a difficult problem, in front of them, who would attack the dock fort, and who would go deep behind enemy lines?

This choice is very important to them!

Every major choice is a turning point in life, the right choice will bring huge benefits, the wrong choice will face huge risks!

On the one hand, in order to protect themselves, on the other hand, they hope to win, and they want to have both, so that this choice is full of unknowns, confusion, and fear!

People are often full of fear of unfamiliar things!

After thinking about it again and again, the two proposed a compromise method, each sent an army, went deep into the rear, and after exploring the truth and the truth, they were considering sending troops on a large scale, which was a correct choice in terms of the art of war.

In a war, if you make a mistake in one word, you will lose the whole game, and you must be very cautious in marching like a chess move, and you must not be in a hurry, so as not to make fatal mistakes.

The next day, 20,000 troops quietly left the barracks, crossed the river far away, and groped their way behind the fort, and the route of the march was very hidden.

But what they didn't know was that dozens of miles near Ancheng were closely monitored by the blood-clothed guards, and they had a clear grasp of every move of the 20,000 enemy troops.

In order to deal with the enemy army, Bai Qi reinforced Mulan's 5,000 troops, and at the same time brought her a sentence:

"This annihilation, you must be like a monkey, you can't be in a hurry, focus on repulsion, don't annihilate the enemy!"

The intelligent Mulan immediately understood the meaning, this was to give the enemy army an illusion that they did not have many troops, so as to lay the foundation for the enemy's all-out attack and fall into the encirclement.

Those who know the few will win!

According to the enemy's strength is more than ours, Mulan adopts different tactics, when our troops are weak, use the characteristics of cavalry mobility and flexibility to fight, and lure the enemy deep into the way of harassment and annihilate them in one face!

At one time, many enemy troops were killed, and the continuous attacks, which exhausted them and seriously delayed the pace of the march!

Unexpected and unexpected!

In the face of the exhausted enemy army, Mulan changed her tactics again, mobilized cavalry, flanked with both wings, broke up the enemy's formation, attacked the places where the enemy could not be rescued in time, and attacked the unexpected places of the enemy army.

In this way, fighting and retreating, little by little, devouring the enemy's living forces, for two whole days, the two sides launched hundreds of attacks within a radius of ten miles.

Plains, cols, hillsides, groves, everywhere you can see the two sides of the war, all the time, corpses on the ground.

Seeing that the goal had not been achieved and that they had suffered heavy losses, the officers and generals of the two armies had to negotiate carefully and take a simple rest in a small mountain village.

"General Zhou, the enemy's troops are not as large as mine, but they are mainly cavalry, and it is not the right way to meet the cavalry with foot soldiers, I suggest that tomorrow hit the troops and capture the enemy's granary!"

General Wang, who belonged to Gong Xuanwu, suggested that he had a scar on his left shoulder, which was left over from today's battle.

"It is feasible, the enemy only sent cavalry, but there was no infantry to encircle and suppress, which means that the enemy does not have many troops, as long as the granary is broken tomorrow, you can know the specific situation!"

General Zhou nodded, his heart was very entangled, this war, he fought too hard, many times, when he was about to win, the enemy suddenly broke the situation, giving him a sense of powerlessness when he went to fight a piece of cotton.

Since the two are in different camps, after discussing for a while, they will leave separately to avoid falling into the mouth.

That night, after repelling the harassment of the god-killing army, early the next morning, with a black circle, he marched to the granary.

"Stop!"

Hua Mulan, who was chasing in the rear, looked at the direction with her delicate eyes, silently calculated the time in her heart, and thought that the time had come to close the net, so she waved her hand to let the God Killer Army stop the pursuit.

"Take a detour, return to the granary!"

Soon, 10,000 cavalry of the Killing God Army rode their horses, bypassed the enemy's flank, and returned to the granary, preparing for the next war!

It was about an hour before the enemy came to the outside of the granary, and when they looked around, there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Hundreds of acres of granaries in the battlefield are neatly standing on the plain, surrounded by no natural dangers to defend, and on the edge of the granary, there are only simple fortifications, all of which are wooden watchtowers and protective walls made of mud oars, which are very easy to break.

General Zhou and General Wang nodded, each drew his sword, and ordered loudly:

"Charge, defeat the enemy, burn the granary!"

The remaining sixteen,000 troops, holding shields, slaughtered towards the granary, and saw the reckless charge, and Mulan, who was standing on the watchtower, flashed a trace of mockery in her eyes.

Sure enough, the soldiers who rushed forward screamed, and the original flat ground became a deep pit, and in the pit stood spears, inserted several corpses, and the blood that flowed out stained the tips of the spears red.

"Not good, retreat!"

General Zhou ordered loudly, but it was too late, the army formation that stretched for a hundred meters charged, countless people fell into the trap, and in an instant, hundreds of people were buried.

The army behind stopped the charge, and looked at the dead comrades, and their hearts were cold.

"Detour, attack the side door!"

General Zhou took a look at the granary, turned the army, went around to the other side of the granary, and launched a round of charge as a test, this time they were much more cautious, but they still paid for the lives of a hundred people, and retreated helplessly.

General Zhou and General Wang had no choice but to stop the attack, think of ways to break the trap, and finally sent people to rob the poultry of nearby farmers, and used animals instead of people to destroy the trap.

Although this method is earthy, it is very practical, and it is often seen in the continent of all nations, after all, human life is worth more than the life of animals.

This looting was one day, in the village abandoned by the war, more than 100 pigs and cattle were found, and rushed to the granary!
