Chapter 423: Invincible Dead
More than fifty miles away from the capital, King Hong ordered a large army to camp and sent spies to investigate the situation in the capital. Half a day later, the spies came back to report, saying that the Yanling army was stationed outside the east gate of the capital, the gate of the capital was closed, and the swords and swords were on the city wall, and it seemed that the defenders of the capital had successfully blocked the Yanling army outside the city.
King Hong was overjoyed, he didn't expect that after so many days, the capital would be able to resist the Yanling army, which was really unexpected. It seems that it was a very wise decision for him to insist on building the capital strongly, no matter how strong the soldiers and horses of Yanling were, no matter how many tricks Sima Hongyan has, he can't surpass the solid city wall.
King Hong asked the spies to draw the location of the Yanling army on the map, and then he twisted his beard and pondered, thinking of a way to eliminate the Yanling army and capture Sima Hongyan alive.
How cunning Sima Hongyan is King Hong has already understood, if he goes head-to-head with the Yanling army, King Hong is not sure that he will win. And now that the two armies were only a few dozen miles apart, King Hong believed that Sima Hongyan already knew about his arrival, and he had no doubt that Sima Hongyan must be planning some conspiracy against him now.
This time, King Hong added 12 points of caution, he divided his army into three parts, formed a horn momentum, and the camp was arranged in the shape of an inverted triangle to support each other.
After that, King Hong selected a team of warriors, and tonight he was going to attack the Yanling military camp at night.
According to the situation, King Hong judged that it had been a long time for the Yanling army to attack the city here, and it must be a time of low morale if it had not succeeded for so long, so it should have a miraculous effect to carry out a night attack at this time. However, the Yanling army is strong, and it is uncertain whether they will die or die in a confrontation with them, so the soldiers sent must be warriors who are not afraid of death.
This team of sneak attack dead soldiers has a special mission, to kill Sima Hongyan at any cost. However, King Hong didn't expect them to succeed, he just hoped that this group of men and horses could disrupt the Yanling army.
As long as people are not afraid of death, they can burst out with potential several times higher than usual, and if this team of people rushes into the enemy camp, it is like a wolf entering a flock. Although it is inevitable to be martyred, it can bring an opportunity for King Hong.
Behind this group of dead soldiers, King Hong also arranged two teams of elite soldiers, as long as the dead soldiers can disturb the enemy, these two teams of elite soldiers will take advantage of the weakness, and their task is the grain cart of the Yanling people.
For the attacking team, food is their most important material. There is no food, the soldiers are hungry, and no matter how many men and horses there are, there is no longer a threat. However, this is still not King Hong's last arrangement.
In King Hong's army, there are some special people who have always only been active by King Hong's side and are King Hong's personal bodyguards. However, they also have another identity, which is the assassin of King Hong.
These people may not be as powerful as those eunuchs under Lan Shengwen, but they are also martial arts masters invited by King Hong from the rivers and lakes at a high price. They are usually like shadows and do not easily show their traces, but every move around King Hong is under their surveillance, and as long as King Hong is not in danger, they will not show up.
This time, King Hong is going to use them. There is only one purpose, to get rid of Sima Hongyan.
No one knew about King Hong's plan, and even Shen Caijie didn't tell him, King Hong minimized the chance of leaking secrets, just to succeed by surprise. Every unit, including the troops that were to act at night, knew only their own tasks and did not know about the existence of other attacking teams.
There are a total of sixteen assassin bodyguards who protect King Hong, who were indeed well-known figures in the martial arts, and were later bribed by King Hong to be bodyguards.
In order to win this surprise, King Hong also buried the fourth step, and he led the whole army to be responsible for surrounding. If the first three steps were missed, his army would be responsible for the final net, and even the route Sima Hongyan wanted to escape was in King Hong's calculations.
The only pity is that he can't get in touch with the defenders of the capital now, if the defenders in the city come to cooperate and sandwich the Yanling army in the middle, then the certainty of annihilating the Yanling people will be greater.
However, the Yanling army was now besieged under the city, and King Hong could not find a way to send people into the city, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of contacting the defenders in the city.
For this attack, it can be said that King Hong used all his military strength, and with the lesson of the last time, this time King Hong's plan was not told to anyone at the last moment, just to prevent Sima Hongyan from preparing in advance.
Now the role of the Yanling women's army has attracted the attention of King Hong, especially their ability to spy on intelligence is simply pervasive and invincible. With the support of intelligence, Sima Hongyan can anticipate the enemy's opportunity step by step, and when he competes with such an opponent, he is bound to be controlled by others everywhere.
With everything in order, King Hong sent patrol cavalry to carry out endless searches around the barracks to prevent the approach of the Yanling female soldiers. At the same time, let the soldiers have war meals early, recharge their energy, and prepare for the big battle at night.
When it was getting late, King Hong found that the sky was thick with clouds, and it seemed that the moonlight tonight would also be covered by the clouds, which was really a good opportunity for a night attack, and he couldn't help but secretly shout in his heart, "God help me!" ”
In the middle of the night, everything is silent. The moon hid behind the clouds and could not see the light, and the wilderness was dark, as if it had been splashed with ink, and it was impossible to see things in the distance.
King Hong asked the lieutenant to extinguish all the flames, and the entire military camp was hidden in the night and silence.
King Hong, the boundary of Dongning, was too familiar, even if he couldn't see things, he could clearly know which direction the Yanling army was in. When the night came, King Hong let out a scream like a bird's call, and the team of dead soldiers heard the order and set off quietly.
Tonight, the entire Dongning army was tied to their mouths, and hundreds of thousands of people were like ghosts without a sound, which shows that King Hong's preparations have been done to the extreme.
Soon after the departure of the dead soldiers, King Hong ordered his men to let out three other beast roars, and the two teams of elite cavalry immediately set off quietly from both wings.
When it comes to the actual combat experience of fighting, King Hong has completely experienced countless corpses and blood, and his sensitivity to the battlefield is unparalleled. Since he suffered a big loss last time, King Hong has analyzed it very seriously, he knows that Sima Hongyan has no comparison with himself in terms of battlefield experience, but Sima Hongyan is talking about the word "trick" with soldiers, and surprise is a strategy that Sima Hongyan makes good use of. Therefore, if you want to deal with Sima Hongyan's Yanling army, you can't give her a chance to completely use tricks.
King Hong knew very well that Sima Hongyan had always been guarding against himself, and at the same time, he was also very jealous of himself. Otherwise, when he saw through the plan of the suspicious soldiers, he did not take advantage of the situation to chase after him, and King Hong thought that this was a mistake by Sima Hongyan.
If Sima Hongyan had led the army to chase after him from behind, and then cooperated with the blocking of the heavy cavalry of Western Vietnam, King Hong's army would have fallen into a flank attack in the front and rear, where would he have escaped? Maybe you will face the possibility of total annihilation. But with such a good opportunity, Sima Hongyan did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but turned the opposite way and directly attacked the capital. Although this move temporarily broke away from the entanglement of King Hong, it was only a month. Now that the situation has reversed, Sima Hongyan has fallen into a situation of being trapped before and after.
"It's still too tender!" King Hong gave Sima Hongyan such a definition. Even if she is talented and wise, she is still a young girl after all.
The longer he came into contact with the enemy, the more King Hong knew about Sima Hongyan. The more I know, the more the spicy of King Hong is revealed. Just like tonight, as soon as King Hong's army arrived, he didn't rest at all and launched a surprise attack overnight. Moreover, the arrangement of three suspicious soldiers for Sima Hongyan can be regarded as paying enough attention to Sima Hongyan.
After a while more than a moment after the second group of elite soldiers set off, King Hong nodded to the third wave of killers. These people are the key to dealing with Sima Hongyan, and the first two groups of people are said to be stepping stones arranged for them.
After the killers set off, King Hong let the army set off and slowly advanced towards the Yanling camp. The formation has always maintained an inverted triangle, which can be attacked and defended at any time.
The night is dark and the wind is high, which is not a good thing for the military camp, and it is the most likely to be attacked by sneak attacks, so the Yanling military camp lit bonfires everywhere, and the figures kept shaking in the firelight, and the Yanling camp obviously sent guards.
When the first group of dead men arrived, the light of the fire was the best guide, and after a little discussion, they suddenly rushed into the enemy camp.
Finding that someone had broken into the camp and attacked at night, someone in the Yanling military camp immediately shouted loudly to warn, and at the same time, the guards grabbed torches and lit them up. Because it was not known how many soldiers and horses were coming, soldiers from all over the place gathered with their close companions and lined up in defensive formation.
However, this group of dead soldiers did not clash with the soldiers head-on, but ran into the camp indiscriminately, and when they encountered someone blocking them, they drank their horses and ran directly over, and if they could not break through, they turned around to avoid it, and the long knives in their hands were also cut indiscriminately, without any order.
The Yanling soldiers in the camp were confused by this sudden attack of the enemy, and they didn't know what they were going to do, as soon as they came in, they scattered and rampaged, not only did they not have a formation formation, but they didn't even have a target, as if they were purely here to make trouble.
Soon, under the command of the leaders of each team, the Yanling soldiers gradually came back to their senses, formed a defensive formation with each other and stood by, and when they saw the enemy rushing again, they immediately protected themselves with shields, and at the same time poked out their spears to hook the horse's legs.
Soon many enemies were thrown off their horses, and as soon as they landed, they were stabbed to death by countless spears, and they didn't even want to stand up.
However, the enemy's chaotic incursion also played some unexpected roles, and several dead soldiers broke into the front of the Chinese army tent by mistake. It was a resting place for the Feng Lord, and the Yanling soldiers surrounded the Chinese army tent under nervousness, lest the enemy hurt the Feng Lord.
In addition to the soldiers, there were countless female soldiers who suddenly appeared around the Chinese military tent, and when they saw the enemy rushing on horseback, they immediately flew to meet them, or threw the enemy off the horse, or directly cut off the horse's legs with a knife, as long as they restrained the enemy, they would not hesitate to give a fatal blow.
Those dead soldiers knew that they had found the camp tent of the other phoenix lord, and immediately someone let out a sharp chirp, and all the dead soldiers rushed towards the big tent of the Chinese army at the same time after hearing it.
Since they are dead soldiers, they have put life and death aside, and they have no worries about rushing left and right, and they have rushed out of a gap in the defensive formation that has been listed. The enemy suffered a lot of casualties, and the people behind did not hesitate to step on the corpses of their comrades and continue to rush forward, and soon many dead soldiers rushed to the front of the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, they were covered in scars, covered in blood, and some of them still had bows and arrows stuck in their bodies, but they still howled and rushed towards the front of the Chinese army's tent, completely in a desperate posture of dying together.
