Section 166 Burning Ninghai
Shen Mu frowned when he heard Murong Huan mention the old man, Murong Huan's words seemed to ask him about the old man's whereabouts again, didn't he know that the old man had betrayed?
Shen Mu said: "Lord Wang, who is the old gentleman you said, Shen Mu doesn't know, let alone whether he is a good person or a bad person!"
Most people in Xishan Road know the name of Mr. Lao. Murong Huan was so shrewd, when he heard Shen Mu say this, he knew the meaning of Shen Mu's words.
The first is that Shen Mu did not see the old man, and the second is that Shen Mu now suspects that all of Nansang's actions may have come from the old man's hands.
I only heard Shen Mu say again: "I don't care about any old gentleman, young gentleman." I just give the prince one piece of advice, for the sake of the people of Ninghai Mansion, and for the sake of the officers and soldiers of the West Mountain Road behind me. Surrender or stubborn resistance!"
Murong Huan pondered for a long time, and then said, "Shen Mu, how sure are you that you can break my inner city?"
Shen Mu looked up at Murong Huan when he heard this, and suddenly saw Sun Yike beside him, and his heart immediately felt indescribably happy. With a smile on his face, he raised his voice and said, "I'm 100% sure! I have limited you to give us a complete answer within three hours." Otherwise...... I don't guarantee they will live......"
Shen Mu pointed at Juan and the others, and saw Suo Liang's complicated expression, knowing that he couldn't say any more, otherwise it would be easy to expose his stuffing. At the moment, he waved his hand and said to Suo Liang: "General Suo, let's go back." Miao Dashuai's re-celebration banquet is waiting for us. The rest is left to Murong Huan to weigh himself!"
Suo Liang had long thought about Miao Bokang's reward for the three armies, if it weren't for Miao Bokang's request to stare at Shen Mu, he would probably have been holding the wine jar and gnawing on mutton!
In the eyes of the generals of Zainan Sang, how can a small inner city withstand the attack of their 100,000 troops.
The walls of the inner city are not as high as those of the outer city, and they are not as thick as the walls of the outer city. It doesn't take much effort to break through the inner city.
Miao Bokang also thought the same, the reason why he asked Shen Mu to persuade him to surrender was to think that if the persuasion was successful, wouldn't it be possible to reduce more casualties. Second, the three armies have been attacking the city for several days, and their morale has been exhausted, and now they have forcibly broken through the east gate, and the spirit of the soldiers is already at the end of their strength. Coupled with Shen Mu's compromise and flickering, Miao Bokang made up his mind again, first rested for an hour or two, rewarded the soldiers, and then took Ninghai with one blow.
The turtle in the urn is not in a hurry.
The generals of each battalion immediately led people to occupy the people's courtyards, made fires to make food, and sang about wine!
Miao Bokang also set up a table full of wine and food in a tavern in the outer city, and feasted Yingyue, Yinyue, Shen Mu and others.
When it was about to be announced, a small school rushed to report that Simon had started a fireworks, and the fire was quite large.
Miao Bokang said disdainfully: "Which battalion is the soldier, and he doesn't know how to pay attention to safety when he makes a fire." This little thing, you don't have to report it to Ben Shuai, let them put out the fire on their own. ”
While talking, he raised his lamp to invite Shen Mu to drink!
Suddenly, another young man rushed to report that there was a fire outside. Two or three times in a row, it was reported that there were fires in all four places.
Shen Mu listened and glanced out the window, but saw thick smoke billowing in the distance, and people were boiling. Hurriedly said: "Dashuai, let's go down and take a look first......
Miao Bokang was also uneasy and went down to the restaurant first.
When he was about to go out, Suo Liang stumbled in with a gray face and knelt down: "Hello Dashuai, for some reason, there are fires burning everywhere in the outer city, I can't put it out, the fire has spread......"
Miao Bokang stepped out of the restaurant, but saw thick smoke floating over the city, like a stream of demonic energy hovering in the air, with some hideousness, mixed with wanton whistling, as well as the suffocating pungent smell, and the crackling sound of the house burning.
The sky turned earthy yellow, and the sergeant shouted in panic.
Miao Bokang hurriedly led the generals to direct the fire extinguishing. But there were too many fires in front of me, and they were put out here, and they were lit up again. However, in the time of half a pillar of incense, the entire outer city was already a sea of fire.
Miao Bokang knew that this fire could not be saved, so he greeted and called for the troops to temporarily withdraw from Ninghai.
Before the assembly was completed here, I suddenly heard a few deafening cannon sounds, and then a young man reported, saying that Murong Huan came from the west gate with 20,000 government troops, and the army in the west of the city was unprepared, and was defeated and retreated, and now it is almost here!
Miao Bo urgently ordered the troops to withdraw from Ninghai. Before reaching the east gate, Murong Huan's feudal army still killed.
The Nansang army was caught off guard and resisted desperately.
Miao Bokang commanded the troops to fight and retreat all the way, the Nansang army was numerous, there were fires everywhere, and tens of thousands of troops gathered on the main road, in a dilemma.
Fortunately, the more than 20,000 Nansang troops stationed outside the city saw the fire and hurriedly came to pick it up, and Miao Bokang was able to escape from Ninghai in a hurry.
was about to return to the camp to reorganize the army and fight again, and another team of fast horses came galloping, but it was a congratulatory achievement.
He Ji saw Miao Bokang, turned over and dismounted, a handful of bitter tears, and reported hoarsely: "Yu Dashuai, the righteous people are backing the water......! The last general was defenseless and surrounded by them and the army of the government. Desperately resisted, only then can I repay the handsome!"
Miao Bo was shocked and said hurriedly: "What do you say? Is it Shen Mu's righteous valve?"
Miao Bokang couldn't believe He Ji's words, Fang Cai, just Fang Cai, he was still sitting at a table with Shen Mu and drinking and talking, how could they be so bold!
He Ji cried: "That's true, our army and the people of the Brotherhood Alliance were ambushed, and the whole army was annihilated, and only ...... were left Only the last general and these brothers were left...... "He choked up, and his words were intermittent!
Miao Bokang really listened to it, and immediately shouted: "What about Shen Mu, bring him to call Ben Shuai!"
Left and right hurriedly said: "Handsome, as soon as I left the restaurant, Shen Xian disappeared...... Shen Mu's trace!" He wanted to say "Mr. Shen", but he thought that this person might be the "culprit" of this matter, so he immediately changed his name and called him by name.
Miao Bo was furious: "Hurry up...... Find him for me. Ben Shuai...... Ben Shuai wants to see people in life, and he wants to see corpses in death. ”
The two generals on the left and right immediately led the people away.
The Nansang army was fighting hard against the Murong army, and the entire battlefield was actually less than 20,000 Murong Fanzhen army chasing nearly 100,000 Nansang troops.
Because of a fire, the Nansang army was caught off guard, the soldiers panicked, no one was armoured, the knife was too late, and Hula Hula only wanted to live. No matter how many people there are, how can they be Murong Jun's opponents.
The battlefield is chaotic, where to find Shen Mu's figure.
Miao Bokang saw that the army was retreating step by step, so he had to order a temporary retreat of fifty miles to avoid the edge of Murong's army.
The troops obeyed the order, threw away their armor, and fled all the way with the generals. This retreat, where is fifty miles can be stopped!
Murong Jun kept biting it, looking at the momentum, thinking of destroying the Nansang Army in one battle.
Miao Bokang thought that he had arranged a village of people and horses in Grandma Ridge, and the terrain in other parts of Ninghai Mansion was not clear, so he retreated to other places in a daze, and it was easy to fall into greater passivity, so he led the army all the way to retreat to Grandma Ridge.
When he arrived at Grandma Ridge, he suddenly saw the first army horse blocking the road, and the leading general saw the Nansang army and shouted: "Nansang Miao Bo resists, I am the army of Guzhou Mansion in Yunzhao Xishan Road." Grandma Ridge has been taken by our army, and those who don't want to die surrender quickly!"
When Miao Bo heard this, he was in a hurry, his eyes were dark, and he suddenly fell down immediately. The generals hurriedly jumped down to save them.
Seeing this, Fu Gu Rao waved the command flag in his hand, and nearly 10,000 army roared and attacked, flanking the Nansang army in front and behind the Murong army.
When the Nansang army saw that the retreat was intercepted, they were terrified, and they only cared about fleeing, where did they dare to fight again.
Miao Bokang was rescued and woke up, and he raised a knife to fight to the death in the Fu army. But he was stopped by Suo Liang and other generals, and the generals protected Miao Bo to resist the panic and fled all the way into the mountains.
When the sound of fighting was not heard, and looking around, there were less than 1,000 people left. Most of the soldiers did not know where they had fled.
It was getting late, and Miao Bokang and others carefully groped along the mountain road, and encountered thousands of Nansang soldiers who were scattered on the way.
Everyone gathered in one place, and when they saw the coach, they felt a little relieved.
was about to sit down and rest, when a whistle sounded, a team of people rushed out of the hillside, and the person in front was Duan Chao.
I saw Duan Chao holding a big knife in his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Nansang Miao Bokang, my military advisor knew that you would flee into the mountains and forests, and taught me to wait here for a long time!"
At this time, it was dark, and the figures in the surroundings were longing, and for a while, I don't know how many people and horses were ambushed here.
The Nansang army was already a frightened bird, looking at the black shadow in the forest, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he fled in all directions.
The wind is roaring, and the grass and trees are soldiers!
Miao Bo's resistance was defeated like a mountain, and he drew his sword to wipe his neck. Fortunately, Suo Liang, He Ji and other generals reacted in time, grabbed the sword, and set up Miao Bokang to run on the road of escape again.
Miao Bokang scolded while withdrawing: "I, Miao Bokang, will not kill Shen Mu in this life, and I will not be a man!"
It was only at this point that he fully understood. It turned out that Shen Mu had been playing himself around!
Where did Shen Mu go?
At this time, Shen Mu was running wildly all the way, and the situation was not much better than that of Miao Bokang!
It turned out that when Shen Mu and Murong Huan were talking, they deliberately emphasized the "three moments of the Shen time". Murong Huan understood that this was the time for Shen Mu to remind him of his last move.
In the wax pill last night, Shen Mu had already written the plan clearly.
"Get out of the outer city and burn down Nansang"
This idea is very bold, the outer city is lost, and the entire Nansang army and civilians can only be trapped in the inner city, which is the size of the palm. In case a certain place is out of touch and is divided and surrounded by the Nansang army, it is to surrender Ninghai City to Nansang. If the fire doesn't make it, a small inner city won't last long.
However, fortunately, Murong Huan overrode the public opinion and decided to act according to Shen Mu's method. Fortunately, after the Nansang army entered the city, they only cared about collecting and looting property, and the generals obeyed the order. Only then did the army retreat smoothly to the inner city.
As for the fire in the city, it was a team of men and horses led by Yan Shun, pretending to be civilians, and quietly ignited it among the people who failed to retreat.
And the time of igniting the fire is the "Shen Shi" that Shen Mu specially emphasized.
After the fire, the Nansang army was crushed. Murong Huan immediately ordered the army to pursue the victory, not giving Nansang half a chance to breathe.
As for Shen Mu, everyone walked out of the restaurant and dragged behind the team in the chaos. took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, and one dodged and ran into an alley that was on fire!
