Chapter 17 - The Jedi Strikes Back
Xia Yu had already arranged his henchmen soldiers to the Yue military camp to ambush them, just waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, these soldiers could secretly light the flames in the Yue military camp very smoothly, and when the time was ripe, they would be able to deal with these seemingly large Yue troops very smoothly.
In fact, in fact, even if the arrival of the three-way reinforcements of the Qi State was not detected, there were actually some grass and trees inside and outside the Yue people. For them, the reinforcements that may appear at any time and the Xuancheng that has not been captured for a long time make them feel extremely tired physically and mentally. Now, even the army of the night watch has been secretly assassinated, and they have no reaction. This created the last and biggest advantage for Qi State's counterattack plan.
Time passed for a while, and at this moment the time was already approaching the end of the day. Just as Xia Yu was still arranging the army dispatch in the city, he heard three urgent sounds of "whoosh-", "whoosh-" and "whoosh-" from the city at the same time. Xia Yu immediately waved the torch in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time has come to fight back!"
Xia Yu's actions seemed to be very risky, because if the torches on the head of the city in this kind of night sky were seen, the sneak attack plan would definitely fail. However, this effect is indeed very significant, not only the confidence of all the soldiers has been inspired, but also a good signal to all the Qi soldiers who are on standby and ready to attack at any time. Now is the perfect time to attack!
Xia Yu's torches shone above Xuancheng, and there were crowds of people in Xuancheng, under Xuancheng and in the Yue military camp. Shouting slogans, they rushed to the Vietnamese barracks. At the same time, Xia Yu's henchmen had already secretly lit the fire source that had been placed in the Yue military camp long ago when he held the torch high. Then they deliberately shouted in a voice of extreme fear: "Oh no! It's gone! Oh no! Everyone come and put out the fire!" These Xia Yu's henchmen would also speak a few words of the Yue language that was somewhat different from their language, and it sounded as if the patrolling soldiers had noticed something wrong. It's hard to tell the real from the fake.
When the awakened Yue soldiers noticed that something was wrong, they went to rescue the camp but found that something was wrong, and the camp tent where their logistics grain and grass were located had been burned by raging fire. Many soldiers, who had already seemed a little frightened, saw that the situation was wrong, and directly ran around to tell each other the news, and in less than ten minutes, almost all the soldiers in the Yue battalion threw themselves into the ranks of fighting fires.
Several of the soldiers rushed all the way to the outside of the Chinese army camp where their patriarch Mocha was, and one of the soldiers shouted: "The patriarch is not good, the camp is water"
Mocha himself tossed and turned for a long time at night before barely falling asleep, and Mocha had been there studying how to capture Xuancheng as soon as possible. It wasn't until it was close to the hour that he fell asleep on his bed. But what he didn't expect was that he himself had been lying down for less than an hour when he heard the heart-rending shouts in their camp. Curious, Mocha pulled over a piece of clothing and was about to go out to take a look, but who knew that he saw the camp in flames.
"What's going on," Mocha's throat choked abruptly, his gaze already a little empty. He stared blankly at the situation in their camp where a sea of fire was spreading now, and he didn't know what to say. He only felt a choke in his throat.
A soldier who rushed over to put out the fire with a bowl of water in his hand happened to see the figure of their patriarch Mocha emerging from the large camp. The soldier's voice was a little hurried: "The patriarch is not good, the grain and grass stored in the camp have been burned."
The soldier hurriedly took a bowl of water in his hand to put out the fire, and the soldier did not notice that when their patriarch Mocha heard the news of his certainty, he was already frozen in place, staring blankly at the raging fire in front of him, and Mocha did not even say a word. His eyes glazed over at the soldiers in a hurry who came and went to fight fires in front of him.
Now the entire battalion of the Yue army is in a busy situation because of such a sudden "water walk" situation. The whole camp was brightly lit, and all the soldiers had already joined the firefighting team, and countless torches were lit in the Vietnamese military camp to fight the fire. No one heard the sound of horses' hooves faintly coming from outside the Yue barracks.
"It's not good! There is an attack by the Qi army!" By the time the guards guarding the gate of the Yue camp noticed that a group of cavalry had suddenly appeared in front of them, it was too late for them to deliver the message. From the front, the 3,000 cavalry that can still be mobilized in Xuancheng and the more than 2,000 cavalry who retreated from the north formed a cavalry team for assault. Taking advantage of the current civil strife in the Vietnamese military camp, such a surprise attack was carried out to completely disrupt the completely fragmented military morale of the Vietnamese soldiers.
Sure enough, although this Qi cavalry of only about 5,000 rushed into the Yue military camp, killing as if entering a no-man's land, the already chaotic Yue military camp was completely chaotic. These more than 5,000 cavalrymen were like a god of death, killing countless scattered Yue soldiers as if they were reaping their lives there.
There was only a surprise attack of 5,000 cavalry in front of Xuancheng, and Mocha, who had been standing in place and did not speak, finally reacted, and he said hurriedly: "It's not good to quickly transfer troops to me to resist such words."
"Boom, boom—" Before Mocha's words could be finished, another burst of cannon sound came from the rear of the Yue battalion, interrupting the order he wanted to pass on. Mocha hurriedly looked back, and saw that on a hill not far from their camp, a general in white armor stood on a small hill, commanding his soldiers to bombard there violently with artillery, directly blowing up the weapons and simple fire candles hoarded there in the rear camp of the Yue people, and the flames of the sky rose into the sky, and the whole Yue camp was full of wails and corpses. Countless soldiers of the Yue tribe fell to the ground one after another, and the 5,000 troops of the Qi State who were charging back and forth on horses had already carried out round after round of harvesting.
Although the number of soldiers in this Yue battalion was far greater than that of the Qi army, now, the artillery and sky-high flames bombarded everywhere had completely defeated the entire Yue battalion. Even though the Yue people still have an army of more than 100,000 people, there is no formation, and the morale of the army has collapsed. The Vietnamese soldiers fled in all directions, and many of them were already on their knees begging for mercy and begging for surrender.
"It's not good, the general trend has gone, quickly cover the patriarch's departure," a general on a horse and wearing a white cloak stood in the middle of the Yue army. Only the five hundred guards behind the general did not scatter the formation, and still maintained a stable formation and waited there. The more the general looked, the more he knew that something was wrong, and he hurriedly shouted at the five hundred soldiers behind him. Immediately, the general let out a loud shout, and immediately stepped forward to meet the Qi cavalry who rushed over and tried to catch Mocha standing at the gate of the camp behind them.
"Yes" The five hundred soldiers choked their throats and said a deep farewell to their general, and then their five hundred personal guards immediately rushed to Mocha's side, and shouted anxiously: "The patriarch is not good now, there is no way to organize a counterattack, let's retreat quickly, now this is no longer a place to stay for a long time, let's retreat first, there will always be a time to make a comeback."
These five hundred soldiers should be said to be the last army to protect Mocha's evacuation, and Mocha didn't have time to think before he was pushed onto a horse by these five hundred heavily armed soldiers, and these five hundred soldiers covered Mocha. From the chaotic Yue army and the Qi cavalry who rushed back and forth, they opened a bloody road from it, covering Mocha and quietly retreated at full speed from the right side of the Yue camp to Quecheng and Licheng in the north. Although there are no more troops now, after all, Que Cheng and Li Cheng are still in the hands of their Yue clan. A comeback is not out of the question.
At dawn, the armies of the three Qi countries had converged, and the soldiers of the Qi country also began to clear the Yue battalion that had been captured. Countless Yue soldiers became prisoners, and the soldiers of Qi also collected a large number of weapons and unburned grain and grass. Chen Jie first asked Jincheng's troops to enter Xuancheng to meet Xia Yu and Emperor Xuan Lejun. And Chen Jie himself took all the soldiers under his command and scattered them all to find Mocha, the patriarch of the Yue tribe who had disappeared again.
Another army, which had already cooperated with part of Xuancheng's army, began to advance north. Prepare to recover Que City and Li City.
"Damn, I still let Mocha run" After about half a day, all the soldiers assigned by Chen Jie also came back one after another, and some of Chen Jie's subordinates were all members of Jiang Mingcheng's Demon Spirit Secret Envoy. In the entire Demon Spirit Continent, there are several Demon Spirit Secret Envoys with the most powerful reconnaissance ability, if these Demon Spirit Secret Envoys can't find Mocha's whereabouts. That means that this time, they didn't catch Mocha. Chen Jie waved his fist angrily and ordered sharply: "Clean up this place for me and burn it all."
"Yes" Chen Jie's soldiers saw Chen Jie's slightly lost expression, and these soldiers didn't know what to say. could only watch silently as Chen Jie took a few of his own soldiers to Xuancheng to recover his life.
