Seeing that it was no longer profitable, the cavalry of the Northern Chu State swept away under the leadership of the main general. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this commander is cautious, unwilling to rush into danger, even if he has less meritorious deeds, he must ensure the integrity of the cavalry team.

Li Yitian and others led the team to turn around and escort the infantry along the way.

After the generals of the Northern Chu State returned to Mengling City, they told the commander Chu Zhenhai about the battle situation in detail.

"Okay! General Wang has made a great achievement! Set up a banquet tonight to reward the three armies!" Chu Zhenhai was in a good mood and immediately ordered a banquet. The left and right sergeants all smiled, and the war had been going on for more than a few months, and this victory was a big victory.

After retreating left and right, only Zhang Meng remained in the City Lord's Mansion Chamber. Zhang Meng is not only a fierce general, but also a wise general who is careful and familiar with military books. At this time, it is also the intention of the coach to stay alone, and he, as a confidant general, naturally knows that things are not so simple.

"This time, Long Xiangnan is too weak, there must be some conspiracy. This time our army won a great victory, and I had to reward the three armies. Tonight you must be in good spirits, and you must not make any mistakes. Chu Zhenhai said to Zhang Meng solemnly.

"What does the general mean that he will come to steal the city from the south?" Zhang Meng instantly understood.

Chu Zhenhai nodded affirmatively, if the Northern Chu army attacked and stole the city at night when it was drunk, it was very possible, and the chance of success would be much greater.

Zhang Meng understood and hurriedly went down to find his henchmen to inform him of the matter. This is a matter that is related to the success or failure of this battle, and it is not a matter of sloppiness at all. Chu Zhenhai dared to hand over this matter to him, which means that he has absolute trust in him. Therefore, he could not live up to the manager's expectations of him, and could only do his best to do this in return.

However, it was said that the generals of the Eastern Tang Dynasty returned to the camp, and although the generals were dissatisfied with the coach's approach, no one dared to speak out. After all, in the first big defeat, the coach's mind will definitely not be happy. The generals sat down one after another, and they looked very embarrassed for a while.

Li Yitian sat on the side and was silent, but at this time, it was Long Wuji who opened his mouth to break the deadlock.

"Today, our army is fighting unfavorably, what good strategies do you have?"

When everyone present saw Long Wuji speak, they all started to think.

"Your Royal Highness, today's fighting generals are nothing. Although the morale has dropped a little, as long as I wait for the horse to fight again in the future, I will definitely be able to win back a city for my Dongtang. Several Daoist friends invited by Long Wuji immediately spoke.

"Are you saying that there is no one in our army? but we have to rely on you to win the other side? and if we fight again in the future, I want you to see our methods!" one of the generals in the army immediately stopped doing it, and retorted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"General Wang, don't get me wrong, you are the pillar of the country and the general of the army. My friend is just making meritorious contributions, and he is also working for my Dongtang, and he has no other meaning. Long Wuji immediately spoke, which made General Wang feel a little angry.

After a cold snort, General Wang stopped speaking.

"Today, the thief army has won, and there will definitely be a banquet to reward the soldiers, and tonight the moon is high and the wind is dark, and we can attack the city at night, or we can decide in one fell swoop!" the more the general spoke, the more lively his mind became, and his eyes were shining brightly.

"We can first send a group of soldiers into the city to open the gates, and then lead the follow-up troops in. In this way, the Northern Chu army has lost the advantage of the city, what can it do to fight us? When the time comes, it will be easy to conquer the city!"

As soon as this plan was announced, it immediately aroused the support of everyone. After a heated discussion, the generals focused their attention on coach Long Xiangnan.

"Does the commander think this plan is acceptable?" said the general who proposed the plan, asking for the general's opinion.

The dragon pondered for a moment before he spoke: "It's okay to attack the city, but don't be greedy. Chu Zhenhai is not an easy person, he is cautious in handling things, and he should not be taken lightly. ”

When Li Yitian heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and although he knew that his words would offend others, he still said: "Commander, our army is newly defeated, the army is not convinced, and it is not a good strategy to attack overnight. ”

"Besides, Mengling City is a fortress-like city, and the walls of the city are thick, even if the gate is broken, it is impossible to be attacked at once. If the army goes deeper, and the enemy closes the city gate and catches turtles in an urn, then our army will only be afraid that it will be impossible to escape!"

After listening to Li Yitian's words, the general who proposed the night attack plan immediately turned ugly. These unarmed guys even dared to talk about the war and kept refuting the opinions of his veteran. But seeing that the boss was unmoved, the general could only endure the evil anger in his heart.

The coach Long Xiangnan glanced at Li Yitian with interest, and then withdrew his gaze and continued to watch the discussion of the generals in the big tent.

After a fierce argument, Long Xiangnan finally made a final decision.

"It's okay to attack at night, but you can't go behind enemy lines, and I expect the enemy to be on guard. If you have a slight gain, you will immediately retreat. Long Xiangnan ordered the arrow to be given to General Wang, and admonished him.

Only then did the generals disperse, and Li Yitian and Ye Fengchi also returned to the camp together.

"This dragon general seems to be preparing something, the current battle situation is not favorable to the Eastern Tang, but he still has to carry out a night attack. Li Yitian told his guess and asked Ye Fengchi to help analyze it.

"This may be to show the enemy weakness, and wait for the enemy to be proud before sending troops to attack. Ye-Feng Chime couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Long Xiangnan's gourd.

The two waited in the big tent until the second half of the night, and when the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, General Wang quietly led his subordinates to Mengling City. They didn't light a fire, but groped their way forward by the dim moonlight.

At this time, the soldiers of the three armies who were full of wine and food in Mengling City slept together, and the figures patrolling the city were also crooked. A dark figure quietly touched the city, taking away the life of the soldier who was still asleep.

This scene played out in many places on the city's head, and more and more black shadows climbed the city wall, and quickly approached the city gate.

"Enemy attack!" Wang Ermazi, who got up at night, shouted at the throat, and then fell into a pool of blood and struggled like a rooster whose neck had been cut.

"Kill!" The Eastern Tang Army, whose identity was exposed, shouted violently and rushed towards the enemy soldiers who were still in chaos. The Eastern Tang Army under the city also killed the city gate tower, trying to open the gate of Mengling City.

At this time, a pair of Eastern Tang infantry outside the city was also rapidly approaching the city gate, as long as their companions opened the gate, they would rush up and occupy the position of the city gate instantly. Li Yitian and Ye Fengchi also hid in the shadows and observed, hoping to see a hint of a turnaround on the battlefield.

The shouts of killing on the head of the city became louder and louder, the torches were lit by the soldiers of Northern Chu, and the soldiers of the Eastern Tang Dynasty who attacked Mengling City at night were exposed to the firelight. They were outnumbered and were soon surrounded. If they delay a little longer, they will all die here, and they will not have a chance to take the city safely.

At this critical moment, the heavy gate was opened! The soldiers who rushed down to the city successfully opened the gate, and the Eastern Tang soldiers outside broke through the city gate and rushed up into Mengling City.

"Soldiers, kill with me!" The soldiers at the head of the city saw the hope of survival, and they suddenly burst out with unparalleled combat power, and for a time they actually blocked the offensive of the Northern Chu soldiers! Although they were still falling, their formation was well maintained.

In the face of death, they all burst out with absolute combat effectiveness. It was like incarnating as a warrior who was ten of them, and they were fixed on the wall like nails. At this time, Long Xiangnan's strengths in governing the army were revealed, knowing that none of these soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered, but fought bravely to kill the enemy one by one.

The Northern Chu army on the city wall was also shocked by the opponent's combat effectiveness and super will, and in this desperate situation, they could still fight hard as if they were dead, they deserved to be a strong army!

However, just when everyone thought that the Eastern Tang army had succeeded, a thunderous drum knocked them down into the abyss.

"Knock! knock!"

The vigorous and powerful drum sound makes people seem to see the scene of the sturdy drummer waving his bare arms and arms.

One by one, the braziers were lit, and countless archers stood up from the rooftops, their bows were like a full moon, and the cold arrows were aimed at the Eastern Tang soldiers who had just broken the city gate with a happy face.

"Abandon your weapons and surrender! Don't kill and surrender!" A loud slogan erupted in the Northern Chu army, and the arrows pressed towards the Eastern Tang soldiers who were fighting at the gate of the city.

Wang Shichang asked for a night attack today, although he was dissuaded by his colleagues, he still insisted on going his own way. Now trapped in the city, he suddenly felt ashamed.

"Wang has no face to face General Long, and he has no face to face your brothers! Send the order, and the whole army will retreat!" This General Wang is the one who proposed the night attack in the camp today, and now he saw that he had really fallen into the enemy's ambush, and immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat, while he himself fought the enemy hand-to-hand at the end, and broke off for his subordinates!

"General go quickly, it's not too late to behead the enemy in the coming day!" The captain of the personal guard hurriedly protected Wang Shichang's left and right, trying to pull him out of the city.

"Hurry up! I'll cut it off!" Wang Shichang didn't stop persuading at this time, and he still fought hard.

The Northern Chu sergeants began to release arrows all over the world when they saw the Eastern Tang Army retreating, and Wang Shichang was quickly shot a few arrows, and if he didn't retreat, he would be shot into a hedgehog sooner or later.

As soon as the captain of the guard looked at him, several guards stepped forward to set up Wang Shichang and left.

"Let go of me, I've hurt my brothers this time! Let go of me! I'm going to go into battle to kill the enemy!" Wang Shichang was bleeding at the moment but didn't care, looking at his fallen comrades one by one, two lines of tears flowed up.

This iron-clad man is full of remorse at the moment, it was his own momentary whims that killed his former comrades.

"Kill!" Bei Chu's army immediately followed and chased out of the city gate, and was about to catch up with the other party to continue to expand the results of the battle.

At this time, a cavalry in the oblique stab suddenly came and directly penetrated the pursuing Northern Chu army, interrupting their pursuit. (To be continued.) )
