Chapter 303: Fierce Fight
"Help! Hurry up!" Seeing Emperor Hui lying in a pool of blood, Lu Cong was rarely panicked and shouted anxiously.
It's not that he cares much about Emperor Hui's life or death, it's just that Emperor Hui killed himself in front of him, and the impact of shouting those words is difficult to estimate.
Everyone else can die, including the Empress, but Emperor Hui can't!
Lu Cong urgently ordered that Emperor Hui must be saved.
However, all the imperial doctors in the imperial city tried their best, but in the end they could not save Emperor Hui's life.
Not to mention Lu Cong, all the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China were terrified.
Not because of Emperor Hui's death, but because of the words he shouted when Lu Cheng and all the civil and military officials, as well as the imperial city army.
Lu Cong immediately ordered that no one should be allowed to divulge the matter, and asked to temporarily conceal the deaths of Emperor Hui and the empress.
He wanted to find another time to announce that Emperor Hui and the Empress were infected and died, so that the outside world would know the truth.
It's just that there are so many people who know that it's impossible to completely block everyone.
The news still spread, including Emperor Hui's shouting before his death, and quickly spread in Miliang City.
Ma Jianjun was stationed near Miliang City and kept a close eye on the city's movements.
As a result, he got the news that Sun Pu was killed in an attempt to lead his troops to break through the siege, and Emperor Hui and the empress killed themselves.
Emperor Hui's shouting to Lu Cong before his death also reached his ears word for word.
Hearing the news, Ma Jian fainted on the spot.
After waking up, he was extremely sad and angry, and vowed to break through Miliang and kill Lu Cong with his own hands to avenge Emperor Hui.
So he led his army to storm the city.
Lu Cong personally led his troops to defend the city and repelled the attacks of Ma Jian's army several times.
At the same time, he ordered Wuqing, Chicheng, Gu'an and other places to send troops to surround Ma Jian.
Feng Qiao got the information and persuaded Ma Jian to withdraw from the army for the time being, while falling into passivity.
Although Ma Jian was sad and angry, he obeyed the words of the military advisor Feng Qiao, so the soldiers and horses temporarily retreated to Yueling.
The news of Emperor Hui's death spread quickly.
Tang Niu led his troops to repel the soldiers and horses of Naduo and Changyi, and when he learned of this, his reaction was not very great.
For him, Emperor Hui belonged to the opposite and was not recognized.
Ning Ze's negotiations on this side did not come to a conclusion, so he asked his subordinates to take Lu Yuan to Kamu County secretly, and at the same time, he set up a formation and waited for Sima Fa.
Wang Xiu led his troops to make a detour and took a shortcut to reach the Bamu River first, and the army ambushed him.
The army escorting Lu Yuan really appeared, preparing to cross the river to Kamu.
When the opponent's army was halfway crossed, Wang Xiu suddenly led his troops to kill.
Wu Mi, the general of Ning Zejun, led his troops to meet him in a panic, fought with Wang Xiu for twenty rounds, and was cut off from his horse with a knife.
The escort army was scattered, Wang Xiu saw the cage car where Lu Yuan was imprisoned, pursued the horse, killed the escort soldiers, and rescued Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was rescued and was pleasantly surprised: "How did General Wang know that I was here?"
Wang Xiu replied: "The governor of the capital calculated that Ning Ze would secretly escort the general to Kamu County, so he let the last general ambush here. ”
"Great!" Lu Yuan was freed and hurriedly asked, "Have I ever lost my Plum Folding Halberd?"
"Don't worry, general, the halberd has been brought!" Wang Xiu asked his subordinates to fetch weapons.
Lu Yuan used a yin and yang shovel to attack Ning Ze before, thinking that he could break the demon art. The folding plum halberd was handed over to his subordinates for safekeeping, and the subordinates ran away in time at that time, so that it did not fall into the hands of Ning Ze.
Take back the plum halberd, and let your men let go of the war horse.
Lu Yuan rode his war horse and pointed to the fleeing Ning Ze army: "There is also an important item with General Ben. I don't know what it is, but I feel very precious. Hurry up and follow General Ben to seize the treasure!"
So Lu Yuan led his soldiers and horses to chase all the way, caught up with another accompanying unit, and took out the protective things after killing them.
"Divine Dragon?!" Lu Yuan was taken aback when he saw the lifelike dragon-shaped kite with his own eyes.
Not to mention him, Wang Xiu and the other soldiers were also dumbfounded.
"It turns out that the divine dragon is not real!" Wang Wei felt incredulous after taking a closer look, "but how did it fly? How did the dragon chant appear?
"These horns are so strange, what's the use?" Lu Yuan looked at the special horns placed with the dragon-shaped kite, and looked at the people around him.
"Take it back and ask the Metropolitan Governor to take a look! With the Metropolitan Governor's talent and learning, he will be able to penetrate the mystery. Wang Xiu said.
"That makes sense!" Lu Yuan immediately ordered, "Turn back immediately and join the Grand Governor." ”
"Whoa!"
Ning Ze didn't know that his secret escort team was ambushed, and was concentrating on dealing with Sima Fa.
Because he had the most important military rations around him, he could not afford to lose them, and he had set up many defenses to ensure that Sima Fa was not allowed to get close to the food team.
Ning Ze had a virtual map, so any movement of Sima Fa's army could not hide from his eyes.
Of course, he can only see the troops mobilized by the other side and the direction of their movement, as for who the main general is, the type of troops, whether it is the main force or something, he can't see it.
By the way, the morale of each team can be seen at a glance.
Sima Fa's army was divided into five routes, one of which was 20,000 horses and horses to meet in the rear, and the other four armies were about 8,000 each, quietly detouring and forming an encirclement from different directions.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses are probably Sima Fa's main force, and the other four are led by his generals.
Judging from the direction of the opponent's march, it is to rob the camp from different directions at the same time, and it is estimated that it is impossible to judge the distribution of his own camp, and he wants to find the location where Lu Yuan is imprisoned in this way, and at the same time create chaos and successfully rescue people.
Sima Fa should lead his troops to meet in the rear.
They were not in a hurry to make a move, and several teams hid themselves around, presumably wanting to wait until late at night, when their side was asleep, before launching a surprise attack.
Of course, Ning Ze would not let him get his wish, and also divided four lines of soldiers and horses, each team of 5,000 people, to ambush the other party's four armies in advance.
Sima Fa didn't know that Ning Ze had a virtual map, and he could see the movement of troops within a certain range, so he naturally didn't expect that Ning Ze would set up an ambush in advance on the roads that all the soldiers and horses must pass. He wanted to send troops to attack Ning Ze, but he definitely didn't expect to be ambushed and attacked by Ning Ze.
As for Ning Ze's 10,000 main forces, they protected the military rations in the camp and kept an eye on the dynamics of Sima Fa's army.
In the middle of the night, Sima Fa's army, which was lurking around, really began to move, and quickly marched towards Ning Ze's camp.
The main force of the other party and Ning Ze looked at each other from a distance, waiting for the opportunity.
The opponent's four-way soldiers and horses came from different directions and soon arrived at the ambush point of Ning Zejun's army.
Ning Ze's army, which had been ambushed in advance, rushed out and caught the other party off guard.
In the dark, the other party did not know the number of Ning Ze's army, but Ning Ze clearly understood the number of soldiers in each unit of the enemy through the virtual map.
Under the condition of unequal intelligence, the four-way Sima French army was defeated and dispersed and evacuated.
Sima Fa's 20,000 troops seemed to have received a signal that the front line had lost and retreated decisively.
This was a good opportunity, Ning Ze left some soldiers to protect the grain cart, rushed out of the camp directly, and killed Sima Fa's army.
If you're lucky, you can capture the opponent while they're retreating in a panic.
Sima Fa is Lu Cong's most important adviser, and without him, Lu Cong has nothing to fear.
Sent troops to pursue all the way, and soon caught up with Sima Fa's army.
Cover up from behind for a while, and capture a lot of prisoners.
When asked where Sima Fa was, the soldiers said they didn't know, because the team was led by Zhao Fu.
This made Ning Ze wonder, how could Sima Fa not be in the main force? If he wasn't here, where would he go?
Hurriedly opened the virtual map to check, and was stunned to find that the scattered soldiers and horses in the rear gathered in one place at some point, and suddenly turned back when their own army was victorious and slack. And instantly broke the formation and went straight to the camp.
Ning Ze had already attached enough importance to Sima Fa, but he still underestimated the other party.
He actually used Zhao Fu to deceive himself, and it turned out that he was hiding in those four armies.
But how did Sima Fa know that he could see the opponent's army through the virtual map and react at one time?
Or is he a little bit more interested in his intelligence capabilities on his side, or is it just a coincidence?
Ning Ze hurriedly stopped the pursuit and led his troops to quickly return to help.
Zhao Fu immediately turned around and chased after him from behind.
Ning Ze ignored it, returned to the defensive camp as quickly as possible, and his subordinates defended the formation.
Sima Fa's army really rushed to kill and fought fiercely with Ning Ze.
Zhao Fu attacked from the rear, forming a flanking attack.
The scattered Ning Ze army quickly gathered and returned to the camp as quickly as possible.
The two sides fought fiercely, and Ning Ze's side took advantage of the Futu armor, not to mention the continuous victory, and the morale was booming. Ning Ze took the lead, and the whole army was not afraid of death.
Sima Fa's army failed to take advantage of the attack, but suffered heavy losses in the face of the Futu army.
There is no way, the defense of the Futu armor is too strong! It is difficult for Sima Fa's army to kill the Futu army, but it is difficult for them to block the attack of the Futu army.
Faced with this situation, Sima Fa was very calm, quickly switched formations, and ordered the soldiers to rush and shoot on horse, and attack the grain team with rockets.
Ning Ze ordered to thwart the enemy's cavalry archers and began to search for Sima Fa's location.
As long as you find Sima Fa and lead the army to charge with your own force, you have a good chance of capturing him alive.
However, Sima Fa hid in the rear army and did not show up at all, allowing his subordinates to lead troops to block the front, and it was even more difficult to find in the dark.
The two sides fought fiercely until the early hours of the morning, and the camp was surrounded by blazing fire and chaos.
Probably thinking that in this case, more than half of the military rations must have been burned, and Sima Fa's army suddenly retreated.
Ning Ze saw that the other party's withdrawal was quite orderly, and there was no chaos at all, so he did not order a pursuit.
Looking back at the grain team, fortunately nothing happened.
It turned out that the grain team had already taken measures to set fire, and the periphery was blocked with sandbags, and the inside was painted with fireproof paint. Fire-retardant paints that reinforce the armor are very useful. Not to mention that the grain team is equipped with special facilities to defend against rockets, and the first round of rockets of Sima Fajun, who does not know the truth, has no effect at all.
In this battle, the Ning Ze army suffered very little losses, and the Futu army had too much advantage and was invulnerable. On the other hand, Sima Fa's army, although he successfully deceived Ning Ze, mistakenly thought that Sima Fa was in the main force and successfully launched a surprise attack, but failed to burn a grain and killed and injured more than 1,000 people, which was a big loss.
It was only Ning Ze who was happy for a while, and the next morning, a deserter returned in a panic, reporting to him that he was ambushed halfway, Lu Yuan was robbed, and the dragon-shaped kite and its supporting props were also looted. The other party led the troops by Sima Fa's general Wang Xiu!
