Section 54 Destruction
A series of earth-shattering vibrations made Shang Yunxi jump up from the bed, picked up the sheathed giant sword beside the bed, and rushed out of the big tent, looking around. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The direction of the loud noise and the shaking sound was to the east, which was the camp of the Shitongya army, like fireworks, rising into the sky, and then scattering and falling down, and soon the fire began to burn, and it became bigger and bigger, and after a stick of incense, it shone so that the eastern sky was bright.
Shang Yunxi was shocked and angry, and while sending people to strengthen his vigilance, he ordered people to go to Shitong Dazhai immediately to understand the situation.
What's going on?
Shi Tong, this idiot, was he attacked by someone at night?
I specifically told him to be extremely cautious, to say that Shi Tong is also a general, even if he has not fought a decent war in the past few years, but this camping and robbery prevention is the most basic quality of a general, right?
Could it be that Shitong didn't even take this precaution?
Before Shang Yunxi could figure it out, he saw a flash of red light in the corner of his eye, and a loud bang came to his face, and a spicy breath filled the air, the aura of magic?
Shang Yunxi was also a character who had seen a big scene, and he was shocked, but before he could react, a series of loud noises and fires also exploded in his tent, like an infection, crackling one after another, flames, explosions, people shouting and neighing, and chaos became a mess.
Fang Cai was still scolding Shi Tong for being stupid in his heart, but now he was staging this scene in his own tent, which made Shang Yunxi so angry that his eyes were full of stars.
There is no doubt that this is a trick of the Huaiyou Army, this is a spell trap prepared in advance, but how can it happen after a few hours?
And there are also magicians in their own tents, and they have searched for nothing that is in the way of the eyes before, but how did they break out in the middle of the night, and they are so fierce and abnormal?
It's just that there is not much point in thinking about this at this time, what is needed now is to control the situation and prevent the situation from getting out of control.
After all, Shang Yunxi is also a veteran of the battlefield, knowing that he can't panic in this situation, especially not commanding indiscriminately, calm down his emotions, on the one hand, he ordered his personal guards to immediately front the battalions that have not yet been chaotic, and asked the battalions to be on alert immediately, but not to act rashly, and on the other hand, he asked his own personal guards to personally clean up the chaotic scene.
I have to admit that Shang Yunxi still has some judgment, although the Huaiyou Army has set up a lot of fire ambush spells in the camp, but it still relies on the power of magic to erupt and cause burning, and the camp has already prepared for the fire when it is set up in the camp, as long as it is not chaotic and methodical extinguishing the fire, it will not bring much loss, of course, if the baggage is burned, it is another matter.
It's just that although Shang Yunxi's side was not able to cause much damage, it was miraculous on Shitong's side.
In the darkness of the night, such sudden explosions and fires suddenly occurred, especially in one place where the pack horses and baggage were stored, which caused a heavy fire, and the cattle and horses of the pack team were frightened and blew up the camp, knocked down the barracks and rushed into the camp where the soldiers were stationed, causing great confusion, and even turned into a camp roar.
Mei Kuang and Qin Han also expected that such a strategy might not be able to have too much impact on the elite of the probation army led by Shang Yunxi, but they might as well give it a try on Shitong's side of the tooth army.
Sure enough, after Shitong's Yajun camp fell into chaos, Qin Han and Luo Chenggan each led a battalion of elites to ambush Shitong's Yajun camp from the south gate, causing huge casualties to the already chaotic Yajun army in the dark night.
Qin Han and Luo Chenggan entered from two ways, and the tooth army, which did not have much experience in the dark, collapsed suddenly by such a ferocious blow, and completely fell into chaos, a large number of soldiers were trampled and burned in the dark, and a large number of soldiers even fled to the Shangyunxi camp in order to escape for their lives, but they were "decisively stopped" by the camp on Shang Yunxi's side, of course, the way to stop it was arrows.
It wasn't until dawn that the whole situation slowly came under control.
Shang Yunxi was almost mad.
Overnight, the losses of his Sixth Army were not large, but there were only hundreds of casualties, but the friendly troops led by Shi Tong suffered heavy losses, and they could even be said to be miserable.
In the dark, more than 3,000 people were trampled and burned to death by the tooth army, and the casualties under the attack of the Huaiyou army were only about 2,000 people, and in the flight to their own camp, the number of soldiers of the tooth army who were killed by their own crossbow arrows reached more than 1,000 people, and the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers were even more frightened, almost all of them slowly returned to the camp after dawn, it can be said that after this battle alone, the entire 10,000 people of the tooth army almost completely lost their combat effectiveness.
Seeing Shi Tong's gray face like a mourning woman, Shang Yunxi almost ordered someone to drag him down to show his head.
How can this kind of wretched waste be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Shi Xu?
I didn't think he was incompetent before, but in this battle, he understood that Shi Yu's tooth army was really raised into a bunch of wastes, don't look at their bright armor and excellent weapons, but in a long-term favorable environment, they have completely transformed into a bunch of rice worms.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Shang Yunxi tried to calm down his emotions a little, and said lightly: "General Shi, I see that you are also tired, so let's go down and rest, Yunfeng, you are responsible for the reorganization of the Ya Army." ”
Shi Tong stared blankly at Shang Yunxi's stiff face, and he was about to deprive himself of the right to lead the army with such a fluttering sentence? Suddenly reacting, Shi Tong shouted: "Shang Shuai, the tooth army was handed over to a certain by the lord of the festival, and you have no right to deprive ......."
"No right? Now you plan to let all the Tooth Army accompany you to die?" Shang Yunxi's cold voice seemed to come out of the ice crack in the valley: "The army of 10,000 was tossed by you overnight to only 3,000 people, you said that the festival made the adults know, what will it do to you?"
After a shudder, Shi Tong was speechless, wanting to argue, but he didn't know how to explain, 10,000 people, turned into countless Jingguan overnight, if his cousin knew, would he tear himself apart?
Now hand it over to Shang Yunxi, can I get away with it?
Before he could figure it out, Shang Yunxi had already waved his hand impatiently, and immediately came up and two guards caught Shi Tong, although with Shi Tong's martial arts level, he could easily solve the two guards, but he seemed to have been pulled out of the bone, and followed the two guards out of the big tent softly.
The atmosphere in the big tent was stagnant, even if Shang Yunxi wanted to cheer up the army, he knew that it was unconvincing at this time.
Before the battle, he lost one-third of his troops, even Shang Yunxi never really thought that the Ya Army could act as the main offensive force, but after all, this is seven or eight thousand soldiers, even if it is used as an auxiliary force, it can also play a role, but now it has collapsed all at once, and it is even more difficult to calculate with the damage to the morale of the entire army.
"Yongdao, Yuzhi, what do you think we should do now?" After taking a deep breath, Shang Yunxi rubbed his cheeks and said in a deep voice.
Wen Chen, who was standing at the bottom, and a tall military general were silent, and they really didn't know what to do in this situation.
The collapse of the Tooth Army is not only as simple as the loss of 10,000 troops, but more importantly, it is a blow to the morale of the entire army, which is fatal, at least for a few days it will be difficult to restore the morale of the army to before yesterday, and if the morale of the army is not restored, it will be difficult to launch an attack, it will be difficult to achieve satisfactory results, and even bring worse consequences.
"Dashuai, do you want to listen to the truth or lie?" Gu Yongdao and Zhao Yu exchanged glances and sighed.
"What about the truth, what about the falsehood?" Shang Yunxi's expression remained unchanged, as if he had long expected that his chief think tank would have unexpected words.
"The truth is, I'm afraid we won't be able to take Fu Licheng, or if we take it, the gains outweigh the losses. Gu Yongdao is also not polite, "The lie is that maybe this is an opportunity to serve Huaiyou." ”
"Oh? Yongdao, what you said is really surprising. Shang Yunxi changed color slightly.
"Great Marshal, it can be seen from last night's performance that the Huaiyou Army has far surpassed the other feudal domains in the application of magic to war, and if we attack the city, there may be even greater accidents, even beyond our imagination. Gu Yongdao said calmly: "For the marshal, it doesn't matter if the Shi family is gone, but we have to have our own basic army, looking at Jiang Feng's approach, it seems that all the departments under his command coexist, but in fact, he is very effective in enveloping people's hearts, do you think we have a future for serving Huaiyou?"
"I will not surrender to Huaiyou. Shang Yunxi sighed, "You're right, Yongdao, Jiang Feng's methods are very old-fashioned, and he doesn't seem to have cut power, whether it is the Shouzhou department or the Luzhou side, they are very generous to give power, but in fact, he bought the hearts of middle and lower-level officers, he used the policy of land inspection to buy the hearts of the military, and used the academy training to win the hearts of the scholars of the Shu family, which is nothing to do with our people." ”
"No, Shuai, you're not entirely right. Gu Yongdao shook his head: "Jiang Feng's approach is to break a structure, he puts everyone on the same level, let others play, or he deprives the gentry of their privileges, and the iron law of sharing the world with the scholars and doctors has been shattered by him, look at the people he relies on, the head of the soldiers, the magic line, Hu Shang, of course, there are also gentry, those are the gentry who are absolutely loyal to him." ”
"Hmph, he only needs people who are absolutely loyal to him, those who stay with different ambitions, they will soon find out that he will soon be abandoned by the people around him and throw himself under Jiang Feng's command. Gu Yongdao's eyes flashed with the same light, "He is reshaping a class and a group." ”
