feint
The next few days were nothing short of brutal, with both sides doing their best. It is common to see the soldiers in the southern city seriously injured and die with the barbarians, and you can also see the barbarians who were shot with bows and arrows like hedgehogs sacrificing their lives to kill, and the battle situation was so anxious that even Wang Lin was not lightly injured. Although Nanlin City is still in the hands of the Great Xia people, there are various indications that they may not be able to hold out for long.
"Damn, these barbarians are crazy, so deadly!! It's almost catching up with the prairie people of the year. Maybe it was the wound, Wang Lin scolded loudly. In yesterday's siege battle, Wang Lin was targeted by the barbarian archers, although he dodged with many years of combat experience, but the distinctive long arrow still pierced Wang Lin's right arm. The moment of tranquility in the middle of the battlefield was precious, and Wang Lin was complaining to Mu Qingfeng about his bad luck.
"The prince of Mingling is the most noble person, these bastards don't shoot you but shoot me, it's really unreasonable." Wang Lin said angrily.
"I think if I look at a barbarian on the other side waving a sword and shouting, 'Dog mongrels have a nature, if you can't beat them, you are raised by a son of a bitch,' I will also give up their commander to do this most arrogant first." Mu Qingfeng said with a smile.
Wang Lin's old face flushed; "Isn't that to boost morale... Don't laugh at me. ”
"Okay, no kidding, the siege equipment on the opposite side is almost ready, what countermeasures does General Wang Lin have?" As soon as the conversation changed, Mu Qingfeng discussed this key topic.
"Let the last general lead the troops to fight, if you want to take countermeasures, let me go, but I don't understand, how could the grassland people make these things that we only do in Great Xia."
"General Wang doesn't know, there is a person from our Great Xia in the Green Wolf Clan who is the internal response, this person's depth and wisdom are elusive, and the last Great Khan of the Green Wolf Clan, Hanmu, died at his hands." In view of the fact that Mu Chongshan was here, Mu Qingfeng hid his identity as Mr. Zhan.
"It's better not to let me see this kind of stuff inside and out, or I'll eat him alive!" You don't even have to pick the skin. Wang Lin said viciously.
"Now that we know their plans, we can't pretend to be blind and we'll surprise them tonight."
"What does the prince mean... Mu Chongshan said.
Mu Qingfeng said; "The battle situation in the past few days is so fierce, every night whether it is us or the barbarians are very tired, from now on the Lingwang Mansion guards should not participate in the battle, take care of their energy, you attack them in the middle of the night, I think there will be certain results."
"What a clever plan, a surprise, a surprise for them when they all let their guard down, I think we're going to have a brilliant result." Wang Lin was very excited. "Maybe we can even burn the siege weapons when we find a chance, and I'll see what they do to attack the city when the time comes!!"
"General Wang is too small to look down on Mr. Zhan on the other side, I bet that the Blue Wolf Clan must be heavily guarded at night these days, maybe even the big battalion of siege equipment has an ambush, just waiting for us to stupidly crash into it, Commander Mu, tonight you are only allowed to disturb the enemy, not to fight, do you understand?" Mu Qingfeng shook his head and said.
"The last general will give orders, and the last general will definitely turn one of their lands upside down, and will not let them sleep peacefully." Mu Chongshan swore and said.
Not long after they finished talking, the battle started again, and the two sides were still fighting hard, but the guards of Mu Chongshan and Lingwangfu were no longer visible on the city wall.
It was soon evening, and after a day of brutal fighting, most of the soldiers rested, except for those who guarded the city walls on night duty, and the day's fighting exhausted them, and the barracks were full of snoring.
After eating and drinking enough, Mu Chongshan took the Jingwei of more than a hundred Ling Palaces and disappeared above the city in the night.
"Boy, I don't understand why you want to let Commander Mu go down to the city to harass, do you know what more effect is there besides letting them rest badly?" To be honest, Xiao Langzhong was not as confident in this strategy as Wang Lin.
"Today, Commander Mu may be able to achieve a little bit of a record of killing the enemy under surprise, but I dare to guarantee that after today, Mr. Zhan will definitely fill this loophole, and even if we attack at night in the future, it will only make them unsafe." Mu Qingfeng replied calmly.
"But my purpose is not in their camp at all, I am doing it with other intentions." Mu Qingfeng made a detour.
"Are you going to burn their grain and grass? Same as you're in the Wings? Or are you going to attack their siege engines? Xiao Langzhong was interested.
"Heaven must not be divulged." Mu Qingfeng looked at Xue Lian'er beside him and said thoughtfully.
"Little Wang Eight Lambs, with a belly of ghosts, the old man is not rare." Although it is not uncommon to say it, everyone can see the regretful expression.
Ignoring Xiao Langzhong, who had a child's temper, Mu Qingfeng set his eyes on the twilight night, calculating the time Mu Chongshan and his party were better, hoping to achieve the result they wanted, and at the same time...
"Mr. Zhan, are you making a bit of a fuss? It's been a few days, and the army of the King of Tomb will take advantage of our vigilance to sneak up on our camp, or burn our siege equipment, so that I have arranged a lot of men to keep vigil, but I don't even see the shadow of the enemy, and the soldiers will be unbearable. Hurbatu complained.
"Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, Great Khan, last time my plan was cleaned up by the prince of the Lingwang Mansion with a few wins and more breaks, this son can't be underestimated, our barracks are not far from their city walls, not to mention that the people of the Barbarian Bull Clan are still working all night, I don't believe that the prince of the Lingwang on the other side will turn a blind eye." Mr. Zhan stroked the beard under his forehead, looking like he was in his chest.
"Even so, our physical strength will not be able to withstand it in the long run, and it will not be advantageous to fight at that time." Although he admired Mr. Zhan's strategy, Hurbatu was still a little worried.
"Our siege equipment will be completed soon, and then we won't have to divide our troops to protect them, it's not bad to let them become the targets of the Great Xia people, at least we can let our soldiers sleep well, a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled, the Barbarian Bull Clan has already 'contributed' food to us, let's help them get rid of it." Mr. Zhan said with a sinister smile.
Mu Chongshan and his party took advantage of the night to touch the front of the enemy's camp, today is the beginning of the month, it is dark at night, only the camp of the green wolf clan is brightly lit.
"The Great Khan is really, he is so tired from attacking the city during the day, and he actually has to keep vigil at night!! What do you say to guard against enemy attacks, there is an enemy attack of a ghost!! Lao Tzu takes a nap, you look at it for a while. A barbarian soldier complained.
"Damn, you talk a lot of nonsense, this is the Xia man's idea. The Great Khan is obedient to him now, and the guy who wants to eat quickly shut up your stinky mouth, and remember to replace Lao Tzu for a while, Lao Tzu can't hold it anymore. The man next to him scolded.
Most of the barbarian soldiers just pretended, after a day of fighting, everyone was very tired, in order to carry out Mr. Zhan's orders, helplessly waiting for the dawn, many people leaned on the fence or the big tent, and dozed in a daze.
The barbarian soldier just now rubbed his hands and scolded a little: "The stinky boy sleeps so fast, and there is no one who can fall asleep while standing." If you don't get up for a while, I won't smoke you. ”
Just when he was secretly complaining, he suddenly felt that his neck was strangled, and it was so difficult to breathe that he didn't make any movement before he was twisted by Mu Chongshan.
As concocted, a guard team at the edge of the camp was easily killed by Mu Chongshan and his party, Mu Chongshan looked around, and whispered a novel; "Do it!"
The guards of the Lingwang Mansion quickly took out their torches, poured fire oil on the surrounding camp tents, watched the fire rise into the sky, followed Mu Qingfeng's instructions, did not dare to fight at all, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
"Report to the Great Khan, news has just come that an unknown number of enemies have killed one of our patrol squads and set fire to the tents of the rear army." A herald said hurriedly.
When Hurbatu heard this, he was shocked, and quickly asked, "What are the casualties, is the fire under control?" ”
"Thanks to the arrangement of the military master, the fire was controlled after a while, but about dozens of tents were burned, due to the early warning, there were not many casualties, we have stepped up patrols, please rest assured." It seems that the herald did not get that kind of news.
"Okay, you go now, wear my orders, patrol each battalion and its own tent, be vigilant, don't give Xia Gou a chance!!" Hearing that the loss was not big, Hurbatu breathed a sigh of relief, "The military advisor is wise, fortunately, Mr. has been prepared, otherwise our losses will be great." Last time, we were negligent in taking precautions, so we were burned by the Xia people, and the defeat was the wing, and we can't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
"Don't panic, the Great Khan, I have seen through the tricks of the prince of Ling, I think that they will not succeed in a sneak attack, maybe this is a plan to attack the west, and now they are heading towards our ordnance battalion, I will suspect that their ultimate goal is not our battalion at all, but the battering rams, catapults and other sharp weapons in the army." Mr. Zhan said unhurriedly.
"Sir's words are reasonable, I will send people to strengthen the vigilance, the siege is in the past few days, the old and weak people of the Barbarian Bull Clan have worked hard for so long, they can't work in vain." Hurbatu hurriedly arranged.
Maybe it was really providence, Mu Chongshan's elite men and horses did not return to Nanlin City immediately after setting fire to the camp, as Mr. Zhan said, and rushed to the location of the large siege equipment of the Blue Wolf Clan. Due to the preparations in advance, coupled with the urgent military situation in Hirbatu, the battle situation achieved by Mu Chongshan this time was almost minimal. Not to mention mass casualties and the incineration of siege equipment. They were busy for a while and set fire to two catapults, and before they could expand the results of the battle, they were discovered by the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Clan who heard the news, if it weren't for Mu Chongshan's superb martial arts, after personally breaking off, maybe their losses would be greater than the enemy.
Mu Chongshan, who found that he could not take any advantage, returned to Nanlin City before dawn in order to avoid increasing unnecessary casualties. Looking at Mu Qingfeng, who was waiting for him with a smile, Mu Chongshan, who was dejected, said; "Please punish the prince, Mu Chongshan did not do his job well, he just burned a few innocuous camp tents, and the ordnance department found nothing, did not achieve the expected goal of the prince, and the last general was willing to accept the punishment!!"
"Commander Mu is serious, what punishment is not punished, when did I say that I want you to bring heavy casualties to the enemy? Isn't my command to harass them and have no peace? Yesterday our soldiers got plenty of rest, and what about the barbarian soldiers? I'm afraid a lot of people can't sleep at night, right? Mu Qingfeng didn't mean to blame at all, "Take 10,000 steps back, if you can defeat the elite of the Blue Wolf Clan by relying on a night attack, then General Wang's battle is a bit too wasteful?" So there is no need to worry about small things. ”
"Now that the enemy knows our plan, shall we go at night?" Hearing that he had not destroyed Mu Qingfeng's plan, Mu Chongshan became happy again.
"Go, why don't you go, you go tonight with gongs and drums, keep them awake at night, remember not to exchange fire, you will withdraw as soon as they make a move!!" Mu Qingfeng instructed.
"Is it because we have such a big formation just to keep them from sleeping?" Mu Chongshan didn't quite understand.
"Of course not, but for my plan to succeed, it must make it difficult for them to do so!! The more agitated the enemy, the more likely we are to succeed!! Mu Qingfeng said categorically.
