Now that the decision has been made, Xia Ren is not a person who hesitates, and immediately asked Meng Tian to prepare, and then prepare for action.

Looking at Donghuai City in front, Meng Tian prepared to let 30,000 cavalry pass through the left side of the city, and then approach the Yonghui legion garrison behind the city, while the remaining 70,000 troops went around to the right side of Donghuai City, and as soon as the 30,000 cavalry moved, they quickly went west, directly to the location of the Wuji Demon Palace.

"General Zhao, General Huang, these 30,000 cavalry will be under the command of the two of you, be sure to attract the hatred of the Yonghui Legion, and entangle them, of course, you don't have to fight them head-on, you just need to wander back and forth, if they want to retreat, you chase, they chase, you run. ”

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong clasped their fists together and said, "General Meng, rest assured, the two of us will definitely complete this task." ”

Meng Tian nodded and continued to speak: "You only need to hold them for two hours, and after two hours, you will leave, also to the west, and then we will send someone to find you." ”

"Shall we go now?"

"Don't worry, wait until the early hours of the morning to move, remember to check the horse's hooves to make sure it doesn't make too much noise, and check the horse's mouth. ”

"Good. ”

After that, Xia Ren and the others stayed in the dense forest and waited, and after a few hours, the sky was completely dark, and only a bright moon hung high.

After roughly calculating the hour, Meng Tian felt that the time was almost up, so he was ready to set off with 70,000 infantry first, and 30,000 cavalry an hour later.

By then, when the cavalry arrived at the Yonghui Legion station, they would probably be almost there.

"Two generals, it's almost time now, the general will lead 70,000 infantry and His Royal Highness Nioh to set off first, and you will set off in an hour, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, the two of us will lead the troops from the left side of Donghuai City in an hour to harass the Yonghui Legion station, these Meng generals don't need to worry, we will do our best." ”

"Good. ”

After Meng Tian finished explaining, he took 70,000 people to the north at night, that is, to the right of Donghuai City.

"Your Highness, this strategy, the other side may be on guard, it is estimated that when General Zhao and the others start to harass, they will also be aware that this is a sound attack, and then our side may also experience a war. ”

Xia Ren smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, it just so happens that our Tianwu Army hasn't fought against the Great Chu Army yet, but this time we can take a look, and I don't know how the Great Chu is compared to the barbarians." ”

Meng Tian nodded, didn't speak, and silently commanded the army to advance rapidly.

In the silent night, a winding black shadow moved rapidly in the night, moving towards the right side of Donghuai City, and even if some Chu people occasionally found it, they would be quickly killed.

At this time, although there were many soldiers standing guard at the Yonghui Legion station, most of the soldiers fell into a deep sleep.

"This Yonghui Legion is not a loss that can compete with the existence of the Hundred Battles Legion, you see that they are standing guard, even inside the camp, no one is slacking off, and there seem to be a lot of secret sentries. ”

Not far from the Yonghui Legion, Zhao Yunzheng and Huang Zhong were quietly observing.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Yun said, "It should be almost time now, we can do it later." ”

Huang Zhong glanced up, then nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You can do it, I believe that Your Highness and they should not be far from their destination." ”

Then the two men ordered everyone to clean the horse's hooves and muzzles, and began to move.

In an instant, the 30,000 cavalry ran, and the ground shook violently, and the endless evil qi condensed in the sky above the 30,000 cavalry, as if forming countless demons with teeth and claws, rushing forward.

And as soon as the 30,000 cavalry ran a short distance, a huge drum sounded at the garrison of the Yonghui Legion, and countless generals who were on vigil shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”

Countless military camps lit up in a short period of time, and countless soldiers began to run out of the tents in full dress, and under the leadership of their own commanders, they lined up and quickly assembled.

One of the main battle legions of Da Chu has 500,000 people, of which the commander of the corps is a marquis, and below are five great generals, each of whom is responsible for commanding 80,000 horses.

At this time, staying at the legion station was a general of the Yonghui Legion, Lu Huainian. As for Yonghui Hou and the other four generals, they will basically be on the front line, and the general garrison is managed by several generals in turn.

At this time, Lu Huainian called out to an adjutant general in the distance and asked, "What's going on? Where did the enemy attack come from?"

The adjutant general clenched his fists and said: "Report to the general, the enemy is a large number of cavalry, attacking from the south gate of our station, and now the battle has begun there." ”

Lu Huainian quickly flew into the air, looked down, and sure enough, he saw countless fires rising in the south, a large number of cavalry trampling wantonly in the camp, and countless soldiers were ruthlessly killed by these cavalry.

Lu Huainian was immediately furious, someone dared to sneak attack their Yonghui Legion's camp, although he knew that during this time, there were several Xia soldiers moving nearby, but Lu Huainian didn't care, he didn't think that the other party could easily cross the defense line he had set up.

At this time, these people didn't want to sneak over the defense line, and they actually dared to attack themselves, which was really looking for death.

"Everyone, quickly assemble, the enemy is in the southern barracks, there are about 30,000 cavalry, quickly go to support. ”

After shouting, Lu Huainian felt that something was wrong, according to their intelligence from Dachu, it should be four 100,000 troops that entered Dachu this time, why are there only 30,000 cavalry here, where are the remaining 70,000 gone?

After thinking for a while, Lu Huainian probably could guess a possibility, summoned the deputy general, and quickly said: "After the army is assembled, you take 100,000 people to the north to investigate, I guess this is likely to be the other party's strategy to attack the west." ”

The adjutant nodded, and quickly left, ready to gather his forces.

And when Zhao Yun and the others acted, Xia Ren also had a slight feeling, but because the distance was too far, Xia Ren couldn't feel it, or Qin Wenlie noticed it and told Xia Ren.

As for Dugu's defeat, he has been sent by Xia Ren to protect Zhao Yun and them, and even the other three elders of Tingyu Pavilion have also been sent to one, because the Yonghui Legion will definitely have a master of the Holy Fetus Realm who will stay behind, and Zhao Yun and they are not opponents at present.

"Everybody picks up and goes all out. ”

Meng Tian let out a low shout, and the speed of the soldiers of the Tianwu Army suddenly increased again.

After walking for about half an hour, Meng Tian raised his right hand, and suddenly the Tianwu Army stopped.

"General Meng, what's wrong, why did you stop advancing?"

Xia Ren was a little puzzled, so he stepped forward and asked.

Meng Tian said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, if the last general's expectation is good, there is an army coming towards us in the distance. ”

"Army, are they from the Yonghui Legion?"

"It should be. ”

When Xia Ren heard this, he asked Huang Yaoshi to go to the front to investigate, because there was no battle, Qin Wenlie couldn't feel the movement, so the perception distance was not so far, and Meng Tian could find that it was purely a kind of induction for soldiers.

The movement of the army is small, but it is still difficult to hide the evil spirit, especially in the eyes of those famous generals, it is easy to detect that something is wrong.

After a while, Huang Yaoshi returned.

"General Meng did not expect badly, there is indeed an army advancing towards us, but it doesn't look like it's coming specifically for us, but like it's searching for something, and the number of people is estimated to be about 100,000. ”

Meng Tian nodded after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "It should be that the people left behind by the Yonghui Legion found out that something was wrong, so they sent 100,000 troops to defend the rest of the place. ”

"So what do we do?"

Xia Ren asked beside him.

Meng Tian grinned and said: "Of course we have eaten them, they have an army of 100,000, and our Tianwu Army still has 70,000, we don't need to be afraid of them at all, even if we can't completely annihilate them, it is estimated that they will suffer heavy losses." ”

"Won't that cause the wrath of Da Chu? ”

At this time, Liu Bowen explained with a smile: "This is unlikely, because we are fighting to destroy the other side by the army, not wantonly slaughtering the other side's civilians." ”

"If Da Chu sends heavy troops to encircle and suppress us at this time, first, he will definitely not be able to get over his face, second, the pressure on their other battlefields will definitely increase greatly, and third, our western legions will not sit idly by. ”

"At that time, it is very likely to cause a war between the two countries, so it will definitely outweigh the losses for Da Chu, but we have to control this kill number, we don't have to kill too much, as long as we beat them to the point that their morale is completely lost, and their fighting spirit is lost. ”

Meng Tian also nodded after hearing this, "What Mr. Liu said is right, we really don't need to annihilate the other party, we just need to fight each other away, and by the way, test the combat strength of the Tianwu Army." ”

After speaking, he smiled again: "After His Highness ascends the throne in the future, we can teach Da Chu a lesson to our heart's content, and now we still focus on the Wuji Demon Palace, focus on His Highness's assessment, and let the rest go for the time being." ”

Xia Ren nodded slightly, and also agreed with Meng Tian's statement, the current retention is not benevolence, but for better targeting in the future, only if he ascends the throne, then he can fight with Da Chu as much as he wants, unlike now, he has to be afraid of everything he does, after all, he has to focus on assessment.

After thinking about it, Xia Ren said to Meng Tian: "Then General Meng will order, how to deal with the enemy you decide, this king is here to wait for good news." ”

"Yes. ”

Then Meng Tian took an army of 70,000 to the south, he was going to take advantage of the night to sneak attack, now the sky is about to dawn, after dawn, they will definitely have to evacuate, so there is not much time, and Zhao Yun is also about to retreat in two hours, so Meng Tian must fight quickly.

Xia Ren did not go with Meng Tian, but took Qin Wenlie and a few people to follow secretly, one is that Xia Ren does not want to show up, for fear of being targeted, and the other is to take care of Meng Tian in case the Holy Fetus Master is dispatched on the other side.

At this time, the Yonghui Army was led by Lu Huainian's deputy general, Lu Huaichen, who was also Lu Huainian's younger brother.

"General, where are we going? The south side of the garrison is really attacked by the enemy, why should we run to the north?"

A lieutenant next to Lu Huaichen asked a little puzzled.

"Don't ask so much, just carry out military orders. ”

Lu Huaichen glanced at him lightly, and then frowned slightly, for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he just didn't know what was wrong.

Throwing away the cluttered thoughts in his heart, Lu Huaichen continued to search forward with the army.
