Chapter 754: The First Battle of Xiling Gorge Won a Great Victory
After listening to Fan Bohou's question, the old lady smiled faintly and explained softly:
"The main thing is that the incident happened suddenly, they don't have much time to react, and people who are angry often lose their minds, so they will further expand the contradictions, and then someone is secretly fueling the troubles, so that the situation has developed to the point that it is irreversible, for example, now, millions of troops on both sides are fighting, and there are countless casualties, and they have become a situation where there is no way out."
"Now that they are de facto hostile parties, the rift between the two countries is irreparable, and their war is bound to expand further."
"This is the means and strategy, without spending a single soldier, they have temporarily avoided the joint attack of the two countries, maybe in the future they will find out the truth, and then come to deal with the Heavenly King again, but by then, the Heavenly King has already become powerful, and he will no longer be afraid of them."
Fan Bohou suppressed the shock in his heart, and after pondering for a moment, he turned to ask:
"Senior sister said that Liu Tingfeng's army has two choices, one is to enter Linghai City before Wu Changkong's army, and the other is to fight with it outside the city, according to senior sister, what choice will he make?"
The old lady did not answer immediately, but after thinking for a long time, she replied:
"The greatest possibility is to intercept outside the city, it is easy to defend the city, but it is also relatively passive, if the other party does not move, do not start the siege, but wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then launch an attack, at that time, Liu Tingfeng will not have an advantage."
Fan Bohou looked at the old lady affectionately, and couldn't help but admire:
"Senior sister, I think you are very suitable for being a military advisor, in the face of these complicated situations, I don't want to think about it, I feel a headache when I think about it, but I didn't expect that in your opinion, it is a few words to break the deep meaning, if the king of heaven is here, he will definitely be surprised."
The old lady smiled and said:
"I'm just post-mortem, because there are always clues to everything, so I can deduce a rough idea, and it's not necessarily completely correct."
"Comparatively speaking, the person who sets up the game is really powerful, obviously the other party is invulnerable, can create a big contradiction for them to fight each other, and create a favorable situation for themselves without an advantage, this is the real great wisdom."
The two were drinking tea and talking at the same time, Fan Bohou also had a clear understanding of the situation under the analysis of the old lady, and then began to discuss how to cooperate with Mu Qianmei's army and do a good job of internal response.
For two days, people were paying attention to the war outside Ningle City.
Although they are all a million troops, but after the battle started, Longxiao Kingdom has an absolute advantage, whether it is the command ability of the generals or the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the Beiyue Kingdom is much inferior, therefore, they are forced to retreat step by step, often taking advantage of the environment, mostly defensive, forced to retreat into the deep mountains.
The battle was still in full swing on this side, and three days later, news of the battle also came from the other side.
When the "Linghai Evening News" brought the news, the whole city was shocked, it turned out that Mu Qianmei's three million army intercepted Wu Changkong's army in the middle of the road, and suddenly attacked the two million army with three million troops, and also chose a place that was very easy to attack - Xiling Canyon.
Xiling Canyon is still two days away from Linghai City, the whole canyon is thirty miles long, and there are steep peaks on both sides, and the whole canyon is like a natural big pocket.
Liu Tingfeng's three million army took advantage of the terrain, divided the troops into three routes, set up a pocket tactic, and ambushed one million troops each at the exit and on the peaks on both sides, waiting for the arrival of Wu Changkong's two million army, when Wu Changkong's army completely entered the valley, Liu Tingfeng immediately ordered to attack.
Wu Changkong's army was suddenly attacked by the three-way army, and he was unprepared, and immediately messed up the formation.
The one million army led by Liu Tingfeng personally guarded the exit and faced the battle head-on, Bai Xiaolong led a million army to attack from the mountain peak on the left, and Wang Hu led an army of one million to attack from the mountain peak on the right.
Moreover, the three-way army attacked almost at the same time, Liu Tingfeng faced the front army, and the army of Bai Xiaolong and Wang Hu attacked the rear army, blocked by the peaks on both sides, and the entire Xiling Canyon instantly became a big pocket with a sealed mouth, due to the narrow terrain, there were not many people who could go out of the front army, and Liu Tingfeng's army waited for work, and it was easy to kill it without the power to fight back.
The front army was blocked, and Wu Changkong's army retreated into the canyon, and suddenly became a mess in the canyon.
The general of Wu Changkong's army immediately ordered the whole army to turn around, intending to withdraw from the rear to the Xiling Gorge, but at this moment, the rear army was also attacked from the left and right, so it had to continue to move forward.
In just three hours, Wu Changkong's army suffered heavy casualties, and the opposing generals saw that the general situation had turned, and immediately waved the white flag and announced their surrender.
After walking out of the canyon, Liu Tingfeng counted the number of people and found that his own side had only 10,000 casualties, and the opponent had 60,000 casualties, and the main forces on both sides had almost no impact.
Liu Tingfeng first controlled the opponent's generals, and then dispersed their army and organized it into his own army.
In fact, many of the soldiers among them did not want a civil war, so they could easily integrate into Liu Tingfeng's army, and for those more stubborn generals, Liu Tingfeng sent a master to escort them, and continued to march towards Linghai City with the army.
In just three hours, the victory in this war was achieved with absolute superiority, which was a real victory.
The next day, the news of Liutingfeng's victory in Xiling Canyon spread to Linghai City, and the news of the stationmaster's outbreak, before people digested it, Liutingfeng had already won a lightning victory, and people were shocked again.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Gao Xiujie stood in front of Liang Hongcai and said with a depressed expression:
"King Liang Jun, we ...... What should I do? ”
Liang Hongcai frowned and said:
"Your army is too vulnerable! How can you surrender in three hours? ”
Gao Xiujie thought for a moment and replied:
"I didn't expect Liu Tingfeng to choose to ambush in Xiling Canyon, where the ambush was, our army really had no way to fight back, blocking the front and back, and attacking left and right, so that our army seemed to be put into a big bag by them, and could only be slaughtered."
The expression on Liang Hongcai's face became very solemn, and he couldn't help but complain:
"Didn't I make you pay attention to the news? Why don't you know anything about such important information? ”
Gao Xiujie smiled bitterly:
"Almost all of the people we sent out have gone and never returned, in Linghai City, I don't know how many people are Mu Qianmei, we are in the light, they are in the dark, we don't know which people are theirs, but they know all of our whereabouts well, the people we sent out to inquire about the news, one disappeared when they went out, and there was not even a single fish that slipped through the net."
"It can be seen that our Linghai City has actually been under Mu Qianmei's control for a long time, how did she do it?"
Liang Hongcai said with a desperate face:
"She has a huge information network, in fact, when many industries here have quietly changed hands, we should understand that she is already acting."
"She first sent people to sneak in, and then she continued to develop in this city, attracting more people from her own city to join her organization, so she unknowingly weaved an invisible net, I even suspect that there are many people in your city lord's mansion who have been rebelled against her and joined her camp."
"Otherwise, how could every move of the City Lord's Mansion not escape his eyes?"
"I even suspect now that even Ning Lecheng has long been infiltrated by her, because the timing of the conflict between us and Beiyue Kingdom is too coincidental, and there is friction every day at other times, why did a murder happen when she was about to attack Linghai City?"
Gao Xiujie said in surprise:
"No...... It won't be that exaggerated! Could it be that the jealous turmoil was actually created by her people? ”
After finishing speaking, he found that he seemed to be speaking a little bluntly, and immediately apologized:
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, and I'm a little out of words."
Liang Hongcai shook his head and said:
"It's just you and me at the moment, and it's all this time, how can we have time to care about these details!"
"It was originally a storm caused by jealousy, the turmoil was not created by her, but there must be something secretly fueling the trouble, we checked the sword of the Nine Emperor Princes afterwards, and it turned out to be poisonous, and our Nine Emperor Princes never smeared venom on the saber, it can be seen that this sword has been tampered with."
"The Seven Princes of the Northern Moon Kingdom died not so much under the sword of the Nine Emperors as in the venom, and the person who was coated with the venom was the real murderer."
"It's a pity that Beiyue Guo didn't know the truth at the time, and began to retaliate impulsively, so that the situation developed into an uncontrollable situation."
"At this time, even if it is a misunderstanding, it is irreparable, although there is no evidence, but I just suspect that this matter is Mu Qianmei's handiwork, because at this time, such a turmoil occurred, and the person who ultimately benefited was her!"
Gao Xiujie asked suspiciously:
"Then you didn't go to Qiuyue Tower to investigate?"
Liang Hongcai looked at Gao Xiujie, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered:
"We've been to investigate, but do you know whose property Qiuyue Tower is? That was the property of Lingyun Pavilion, otherwise, how could it stand for thousands of years without falling? ”
"Therefore, the information we can find is also very limited, first of all, Xiao Panyan, she did grow up in the Qiuyue Tower since she was a child, and we can't be sure if she is Mu Qianmei's person, and secondly, the sword of the Nine Emperor Princes, when was it smeared with venom, we can't find out."
"The key is that although the turmoil happened in Qiuyue Tower, the death was outside Qiuyue Tower, and Qiuyue Tower completely pushed it away, and there was no need to bear any responsibility at all."
Gao Xiujie was terrified when he heard this, and muttered to himself:
"If that's the case, this Mu Qianmei's power is too strong! How long has it been since she appeared in the outer heavens, how can she have such a powerful force? ”
