Not many people know the order to mobilize the cavalry, but the Yanling army can set up an ambush halfway in advance, so naturally the news has leaked, and it seems that there must be Yanling's spies in the army. King Hong's eyes were torn apart, and he ordered people to go back immediately to investigate thoroughly, and be sure to find out the spies in ambush in the army, and kill them quickly.

Let everyone retreat, King Hong sat down heavily in the chair, his chest churning, unable to calm down for a long time.

At this time, a guard shouted outside to see him, saying that he had something urgent to report.

King Hong restrained the anger in his heart and let the guards come in to speak. The guard entered the house and immediately said urgently: "Lord Wang! The south city gate and the north city gate were attacked at the same time, and they all sent a message asking for help, and asked the prince to decide! ”

As soon as they arrived at the West City Gate, the South Gate and the North Gate were attacked again, and the Yanling army was obviously bypassing King Hong.

These days, King Hong can't eat or sleep well, and he always rushes back and forth to rescue, and his physical strength and energy are almost at the limit. Today, when he learned that 30,000 elite cavalry had been wiped out, he was already holding his breath in his chest, and at this time, when he heard that the war situation elsewhere was urgent, he was even more angry, and he shouted hoarsely: "Ask for help, ask for help, you know that asking for help, what is the use of these generals and generals who are usually raised?" When it comes to the critical moment, you know to ask for help, and this king is not three heads and six arms, where can he be saved? ”

Seeing King Hong angry, the guards were too frightened to speak.

Anger is anger, but the city gate is in danger and cannot be saved. King Hong forced himself to calm down, and said to the guards: "Send a letter to Shen Junshi, and ask him to transfer another 30,000 elite soldiers to support the South City Gate, which is the most solid, and use my previous method to defend the city, the Yanling army will not last long and will definitely withdraw." If you let Shen Junshi transfer 50,000 cavalry to the North City Gate to attack the back of the Yanling Army, you will definitely be able to solve the dilemma of the North Gate. ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But we have just lost 30,000 elite cavalry, and if we go out of the city, I am afraid that we will be ambushed by the Yanling people again, right?" ”

King Hong snorted and said, "Just because we suffered a loss once, the people of Yanling naturally think that we dare not send troops out of the city again, so they will not use the same method twice." And this king just did the opposite, and this time he will definitely surprise the Yanling people. ”

The guard was right to think about it, this is exactly the truth of the virtual and the real, the real and the virtual, and hurriedly replied: "The prince is shengming!" Subordinates will do it! ”

After the guards left, King Hong covered his chest with a painful expression, and sat down on the chair with a sad face.

In an inconspicuous military tent, Sima Hongyan was looking at the map and bowing his head in contemplation, and the other generals were gathered around, quietly watching the Feng Lord, and no one dared to make a sound.

After a while, Sima Hongyan spoke: "Red Shadow listens to the order!" Give you 100,000 people, go to ambush on the way to the north gate, and don't let me go when I encounter any enemy rescuers! ”

Xiao Hongying said: "Sister Feng! Didn't Brother Guo kill 30,000 cavalry there without a single soldier before? How could they possibly come back? ”

Sima Hongyan smiled mysteriously and said, "I guessed by luck before, but this time I can be sure that the reinforcements will definitely pass by. This old fellow King Hong knows how to use soldiers, and he is also very cunning, and he will definitely think that we will not use it again after using the strategy once, so he will definitely send reinforcements to take this road. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet! ”

Xiao Hongying hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Feng said that he will definitely come, I don't bet with you, I will definitely lose!" After saying that, he grimaced and turned around and went out of the tent to transfer troops.

Sima Hongyan smiled and asked Shi Jinyan behind him: "Is King Hong still in the West City Gate now?" ”

Shi Jinyan said: "Yes. His subordinates are still monitoring the army outside our West City Gate, and the third sister has been holding their troops and holding them back. ”

Sima Hongyan thought about it and said, "Let Lingruo withdraw!" Don't give King Hong time to rest, since the safety of the entire Dongning is on him alone, let him work harder! ”

Everyone around her smiled knowingly, and Shi Jinyan couldn't help but say, "You are slipping this old man to death!" It seems that offending you is the biggest mistake he has made in his life. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "It's not just me, he has done too many bad things to Yanling, and now is the time to make him pay." ”

After speaking, Sima Hongyan turned around and walked out of the tent. Raising his eyes, he stared at the East City Gate in the distance and said to the people behind him: "It won't be long before we will enter the city from here, and this guerrilla war should almost be over!" ”

In fact, Sima Hongyan's army never disappeared out of thin air, but they used guerrilla tactics and used non-stop movement to avoid the tracking of Dongning spies, which was due to the merits of the Hongyan Women's Army.

From the moment Dongning's spies quietly left the city, they were already under the surveillance of the female soldiers, and the female soldiers' hiding and tracking skills were obviously much better than the Dongning spies, not only would they not be discovered, but they could also quietly control the movements of the Dongning spies.

The female soldiers have their own contact information, and the Yanling army can learn about the spies' actions in advance every time, so they can avoid the tracking of the spies in advance, and the traces left by the army are also erased by the female soldiers. Therefore, no matter how much Dongning spies tracked them, they could never find any traces of the Yanling army.

And the most important thing is that Sima Hongyan has divided the Yanling army into four teams, which are ambushed outside the four city gates of Dongning. There were female soldiers who broke off to cover, which really made King Hong think that hundreds of thousands of troops had evaporated out of thin air, and suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The Dongning warship was destroyed by the Hongyan Women's Army and the Yanling soldiers, Sima Hongyan sent 3,000 female soldiers, and another 5,000 Yanling soldiers who were proficient in water to dive at night and touch the warship. The male soldiers killed several of the ship's guards, changed into enemy clothes, and covered the female soldiers into the cabin. Then they fired at the same time according to the scheduled time, and miraculously destroyed all the sea forces of Dongning.

first set fire to the big ship, and then followed by the burning of the small boat, and was able to succeed so smoothly first, firstly, the female soldiers' ability to infiltrate was really good, and on the other hand, the Dongning Navy was too conceited, which gave the Yanling soldiers an opportunity. Otherwise, it is impossible for thousands of warships to be wiped out without a little vigilance.

The results of dealing with the navy even Sima Hongyan himself was a little unexpected, I thought that as long as I could destroy those big ships with long-range attack weapons, I would complete the task, but I didn't expect that even the small boats were destroyed by the female army, it seems that King Hong was shrewd and shrewd, but he made a fatal mistake in the most proud navy.

This is also the negligence caused by King Hong's galloping on the battlefield for many years, rarely encountering opponents, and misjudging that Sima Hongyan did not dare to use the brains of powerful warships, and did not think that Sima Hongyan would shoot the strongest navy first.

The destruction of the Dongning Navy gave Sima Hongyan a deeper understanding of King Hong, and also an understanding of Dongning's complete military dependence on King Hong alone.

No matter how strong King Hong is, he is also a person, and his two fists are still difficult to defeat with four hands, not to mention that he is facing the most elite troops in Yanling. And Sima Hongyan is never arbitrary, she only tells her generals the purpose, as for how to solve it, it completely depends on the wisdom of the generals, and there is no need to ask Sima Hongyan for everything.

At this point, King Hong is just the opposite, he attaches great importance to military power, so he doesn't trust anyone, no matter how big or small things in the army, he will bow down to everything and personally intervene. This has developed the bad habit that the generals under him no longer use their own brains, and only need to ask the prince for everything.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is simply not realistic to rely on one person to decide the four sides, and a message exchange is several days, and many times by the time the order is delivered, the situation has already changed. If it weren't for Sima Hongyan's reluctance to injure his own army and adopt a defensive strategy this time, I'm afraid that the city gate of Dongning would have been breached a long time ago.

Some veterans feel that the Phoenix Lord is too soft in his use of soldiers, how can there be immortals in war? Victory in war is bound to be a path paved by countless corpses. But they didn't dare to say it.

Sima Hongyan was not an indecisive and forward-looking person, and she did this in order to reduce the casualties of the Yanling army, but also to undermine the enemy's confidence. The soldiers of Dongning have always regarded themselves very highly, and never put other countries in their eyes, if they really fight with all their strength, the enemy's morale will be high, even if they break through a city gate, but they will encounter great resistance on the way forward. The combat power of the Dongning soldiers is not weak, if they really fight with their lives, even if they win Yanling, they will have to pay a heavy price, Sima Hongyan feels that it is not worth it.

Sima Hongyan advocates attacking the heart first, and if he wants to subdue Dongning, he must psychologically disintegrate them. There will be casualties in the war, but Sima Hongyan must control the losses to a minimum, because if he loses both with Dongning, he will only create opportunities for others, and Sima Hongyan has reminded himself from the beginning that he must not make this mistake.

Since they want to hide their whereabouts, the Yanling army has to keep moving, never staying in one place for more than half a day, and the strong mobility makes the whole army consume a huge amount of physical energy. However, for the army trained under the strict training of Nan Guying and Guo Zidi, these are no longer a problem at all.

Sima Hongyan has tried to think many times that if there is no Hongyan female army established by himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with the powerful Dongning. The blow delivered by the sea power alone is a lingering nightmare for the land army.

To deal with Dongning, we must not gather troops in one place. King Hong is good at fighting, and he is on the defensive, taking advantage of it. To deal with King Hong, it is necessary to boldly divide the troops and outwit the city gate.

Therefore, Sima Hongyan set a plan from the beginning to divide the troops into four routes. She had long expected that King Hong would send elite heavy troops to guard the East City Gate, because only there was a piece of land, and the warships at sea could not play a role. Anyone will attack the East Gate first, but as long as they go to the East Gate, they will fall into the trap of King Hong.

But the other three city gates were near the sea, and with the cover of warships, the land army could only be beaten, so Sima Hongyan took the risk of sending a female army to destroy it. Without a sea strike, all four gates would be a target for choice.

Sima Hongyan sent Guo Zidi to lead 80,000 troops to ambush outside the north city gate, Nan Guying led 80,000 troops to ambush outside the south city gate, Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying led 90,000 troops to ambush outside the west city gate, and Sima Hongyan himself led the remaining 200,000 troops to ambush outside the east city gate.

When everything was ready, Sima Hongyan began her confusion tactics of attacking the east and west, and guiding the north, which not only made the defenders of Dongning suffer greatly, but also made the opponent unable to touch their whereabouts, and played the dignified Dongning God of War into a mess.

The siege of the city was already a loss, but the victory of the Yanling army was well-equipped, coupled with Sima Hongyan's full use of the advantage of bows and arrows, so far the Yanling army had a big advantage.

The first attack on the North Gate was a bait for Sima Hongyan to lure King Hong to attack, the purpose was to disperse and disintegrate the elite of the East Gate. The north gate is closest to the depths of Dongning, and King Hong must send cavalry to cut off the back road of the Yanling army at the north gate, which is also the only way for King Hong to send troops.

So Sima Hongyan came to wait for the rabbit, waiting for King Hong's reinforcements to be dispatched, and she was lucky to intercept and kill halfway.
