Chapter 248: Changes in the Battle Situation
Yun Yuhong was busy saving people and had no intention of caring about things on the battlefield, and at this time, Ruifeng, Chiyan, Zeyu and the Moyun army had already handed over hands, the battlefield was full of wolf smoke, and the original business and trade cooperation was forced to stop, and the people on the border began to migrate again, the army was sent to the battlefield, and officials from all over the country recruited soldiers and materials from the people, and the people's happy life ended.
The battle on the battlefield was not going well, and the four countries had been preparing for this battle with great effort over the past few years, and they had a very detailed understanding of each other's generals, soldiers' combat strength, and the strengths and weaknesses of each army, so it was very difficult for either side to defeat the other in a short period of time and push the troops forward by a small step.
The most feared person in the Three Kingdoms of Zeyu is the ghost king Yun Yuhong, that is a person with immeasurable combat power and unpredictable strategy, she can not only turn the tide of the battle between Yuxue and Moyun with less than 200,000 troops in less than a year, but also let Yuxue directly lose the country, that is the strongest Yuxue among the five countries at that time. The generals of the other three kingdoms have a worship that is almost like a god for Yun Yuhong, and they are even more afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
If Yun Yuhong had not been poisoned, the Three Kingdoms would only dare to wait and see, and they might not dare to directly attack Moyun so arbitrarily. In their eyes, only the ghost king does not appear on the battlefield, no matter what kind of heirloom martial arts marquis you are, or a famous general, everything is not to be feared, can't the elite soldiers of the Three Kingdoms still beat you as a country?
Mo Lingyu is the person who does not believe that Yun Yuhong is dead in the Three Kingdoms, in his cognition, that martial arts and scheming woman is not a person who will die easily, unless he sees Yun Yuhong's body with his own eyes, it can only mean that she is still alive, but he doesn't know where people are hiding, or what they are planning, but he didn't say this speculation, because he thinks that the sooner this battle is fought, the better. Moyun has developed so fast that in just five years, the lives of the common people have reached the point where everyone has land to cultivate and every family has surplus grain, and the number of troops has increased by 500,000. There are more and more wealthy households, and the reserves of war materials are also very sufficient, and the treasury of Moyun, which was not full, is now very full, and if it continues to develop at this rate, the future battles can only become more and more difficult to fight, so it must be defeated when the country does not become stronger.
Of course, Mo Lingyu will not be completely unprepared, in addition to improving the combat power of the army, he has also prepared another combat method, that is, rockets. This kind of rocket is different from ordinary bows and arrows, the arrows carry flammable fire oil, and they can cause a fire wherever they fall, and this kind of arrows will also be used on the battlefield in the past, but the number is not much due to the cost problem, but this time, almost all of Zeyu's bows and arrows are this kind of rockets, which made the Moyun army led by Cao Houye suffer heavy losses, and the most terrible one is that this rocket ignited Moyun's granary, and a fire burned all the grain and grass, and the morale of the Moyun army fell suddenly, and it was almost rushed into the city by the Zeyu army, and finally the city was held, Less than half of Moyun's 300,000 soldiers and horses remained, and Hou Ye Cao could only hurriedly send people back for help.
Hou Ye Cao's side was not good, and Hou Ye's side was not very smooth. After two hand-to-hand fights with Ruifeng, everyone was originally tied. But then Jiang Houye found out that something was wrong, there are often some martial arts masters in the Ruifeng army, these people are secretive, strong in martial arts, and lethal to soldiers, and often use some dark energy, poison and the like, which makes people unguardable, and of course their goals will not only target ordinary soldiers, their targets are generals in the army.
The generals' kung fu is naturally higher than that of the soldiers, but compared with the martial arts masters, they are only at the mercy of others, and once the generals who take the lead in the battle fall, the soldiers' formations will be chaotic, not to mention the casualties, and this battle will not be able to be fought again. After the two battles, more than a dozen generals in Jiang Houye's army died, and most of them were injured to varying degrees, and the losses were very heavy, and Jiang Houye was also at a loss.
The third prince of Ruifeng stepped up his offensive more and more, and Jiang Houye could only close his door, so on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ruifeng began to attack the city, and with this vanguard army composed of martial arts masters, their speed of attacking the city was much faster than that of ordinary soldiers. Jiang Houye had to lead the troops to fight, and the two sides handed over hands on the city tower, and this group of martial arts masters set the target on Jiang Houye this time, surrounding Jiang Houye is a fierce attack, Jiang Houye's guards stepped forward to resist, but they were able to go two rounds in the hands of these people, and soon they were killed There were not a few left, Jiang Houye's heart was cold, and the secret way was not good, he may have to confess here today.
Death, Marquis Jiang is not afraid, from the moment he walks on the battlefield, he puts life and death aside. But now that he is the commander of an army, if he dies, then this city is bound to be undefended, once the gate of Moyun is opened by Ruifeng, and the Ruifeng army drives straight in, at least four or five of the people of the city will suffer.
Gritted his teeth, facing the martial arts masters who rushed over, Jiang Houye greeted him, and if he fought hard, he could still have a glimmer of life, and he couldn't be a coward if he died.
A sword on the side struck in like lightning, and the clever ghost flew and landed in front of Jiang Houye. She came with Wang Lekai to deliver grain and grass, but she didn't expect to encounter the enemy army attacking the city as soon as she came in. Seeing that the Marquis Jiang above was in danger under the city, the clever ghost arrived in time to set up the knife of the comer.
Looking at the swarthy faces of the people opposite, and then at the skills of a few people, the clever ghost sneered and said: "I didn't expect Ruifeng to pull all the pirates to the battlefield, is it true that there is no one in my Moyun Martial Arts, have you forgotten the time when you were beaten by my master and had nowhere to hide?" ”
Several pirates were excited when they heard this, how majestic they were at sea for decades, and being chased and beaten by the ghost king was their greatest shame. Hearing what the Clever Ghost said, the pirates gave up all the others to rush towards the Clever Ghost.
The clever ghost glanced at Jiang Houye, signaling him to leave quickly, how could Jiang Houye be willing to let the clever ghost stay alone, the clever ghost had to rush towards the pirate group, unfold the sword in his hand and fight fiercely with them.
Wang Lekai also rushed up with soldiers to help defend the city, most of the pirates were attracted by the clever ghosts, but no one went to open the gap in the defenders in the city, the defenders did not have so much pressure, and concentrated on cleaning up the Ruifeng soldiers, the situation stabilized for a while, only the clever ghosts were in danger for a while.
It's okay to deal with a few pirate ghosts, but it's hard to deal with a large group of pirate ghosts. Just opened and could still attack a few moves, and gradually only defensively. The pirates got excited and shouted, "Catch her and let her die a good death!" ”
Some Moyun soldiers came up to help, but they couldn't make a few moves to deal with the pirates, but this also gave the clever ghost a respite, the clever ghost took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and fell to the ground, a burst of white smoke rose, and a large number of pirates around him fell, only a few who were far away saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly dodged and ran. The clever ghost secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately, the crybaby gave me a few bottles of medicine before coming, otherwise I would have to confess here today.
Asked a few soldiers to tie up the pirates, and the clever ghost stepped forward to help Jiang Houye, asking you to leave you and not leaving, I can't blame me for smoking a little smoke, fortunately, this smoke only makes people unconscious and not poisonous, you can rest for a while.
The pirates ran away, the vanguard army that took the lead was gone, and Ruifeng's soldiers gradually retreated, and finally Duanmu Tiancheng had to collect his troops. The clever ghost looked at the city and the city, and sighed in his heart, it was so dangerous, this city was finally defended.
Compared with these two places, Jiang Rui's formation will be better, but his face is not very good, he can't understand Ji Ran's formation, and he can't break it, as the main vanguard, he hasn't been able to advance a single step in more than ten days. In the past, he took the initiative to attack, but now looking at the Chiyan army outside the city wall, Jiang Ruizhen felt that this was a kind of irony.
The eldest prince on the side was holding a military book and discussing with others, and the eldest prince's loud voice was heard by everyone, "You see, his formation is very similar to this yin and yang gossip array." ”
The second prince patted the eldest prince and asked him to be quieter, but his eyes were also fixed on the book, "No, the Yin and Yang Bagua Array has two eyes, which are not the same as the appearance below." ”
The third prince looked at it, as if he didn't understand, and sighed and said: "We usually don't learn how to set up formations, but now we know that we are far from this capable person." ”
The little prince said on the side: "This kind of formation is not good or bad in the book at all, maybe this is created by others?" ”
Bai Ziren looked at the people below who were calling for the formation, turned back to Jiang Ruizhen and said, "General, let me lead the troops to try it, we can't just do nothing!" ”
Jiang Ruizhen thought for a while and said: "You have to be careful, don't go deep, try it and come back, no formation is unbreakable, let's take a look at his changes and find its formation." ”
Bai Ziren nodded, and rushed forward with a team of people, but this formation was very exquisite, Bai Ziren wanted to break through it, but he didn't have a breakthrough after attacking for a long time, but instead led the team to go deeper.
Jiang Ruizhen, who was on the city wall, saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, Mingjin!" ”
Bai Ziren heard the signal to collect troops from behind, and then he remembered to run back, but it was not easy to get out, and the Chiyan soldiers wrapped them in three layers inside and three layers outside, and their way back had been blocked.
The eldest prince was in a hurry, ran over and rushed up with a man and horse to answer, and it took a while to tear open a hole and pick Bai Ziren out of the inside, only to wait until they returned to the camp to find that the 50,000 soldiers and horses who went in with them had come back less than 20,000.
Everyone took a breath of cool air, it was terrible, this array was too powerful, it seemed that if they were not absolutely sure, the best way could only be to press the soldiers.
