Chapter 600: Soldiers are treacherous

Soldiers, treacherous ways. As the war had just stopped, and because reinforcements had come from both the enemy and us, both sides needed to reorganize their armies, adjust the ranks of the troops with too many casualties, and replenish new personnel. According to the usual practice, the northern and southern armies thought that a new battle might start at night or tomorrow, but they did not expect the coalition forces to launch a surprise attack without warning.

Fang Cai was still burying the pot and cooking, and the sky above the camp was full of cooking smoke, which was peaceful. In the blink of an eye, the men of the coalition forces who were in ambush in the camp quickly tore down the wall on the west side layer by layer, clearing a passage for the cavalry to pass through quickly.

Without the obstruction of the wall, the northern and southern armies can see that the so-called cooking smoke is nothing more than piles of bonfires, and there are no pots and stoves.

Wu Gen stood on the lookout platform of the East Battalion, looking at the non-commissioned soldiers of the coalition army who had already mounted their horses and were ready to charge in formation, and couldn't help but lose his mind.

It seems that the other party has gathered more than 30,000 or 40,000 people, and at this time, there is already a steady stream of people and horses pouring out of the camp. Judging from the direction of its travel, it should be one way to intercept the men and horses of the southern army, and the other way to catch Luling.

What kind of complaint, what washes the war horse, is for the opponent to see. The soldiers and horses of the people had already put their armor on their armour, ready to attack, just waiting to knock down the wall that blocked their charge.

Launching a charge at this time can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, including Wu Gan. Generally speaking, when a large army attacks, it is either a strong attack during the day or a sneak attack at night, and there is no way to attack after dinner, when the sky is getting dark and the mind is determined.

It was precisely by taking advantage of this mindset of the other party that it suddenly launched and caught the northern and southern armies off guard. Standing on the tower, the west wind was blowing in his face, and Wu Yan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The coalition forces opened the passage to the west and launched a charge, which also meant that the men and horses sent by Ji Xian to support would also attack at the same time.

His own volley team of nearly 10,000 people has not yet set off, and the people and horses of the Ba family have not yet arrived at the Luling camp. It is foreseeable that the defense line around Luling will need the defenders to bear the opponent's attack alone in a short time.

Even if the Ba family's men and horses arrived, they might not be able to withstand the impact of the other party. Moreover, at that time, the men and horses of the coalition army may have rushed to Catch Luling, and they were attacked from both sides, and the defense line of Catch Luling was in danger.

After today's battle, the generals of the northern and southern armies, including Wu Gan, forgot that after the return of the southern front of the coalition army, the two sides were only equal in strength. It's just that everyone was carried away by the good news that the Qiu Lin family was destroyed, and for a while they only felt that victory was just around the corner, and they relaxed their vigilance from top to bottom.

Unexpectedly, the coalition forces dared to launch an immediate counterattack when the grain route was cut off and the war was newly defeated. This kind of use of trickery and control of people's hearts really made Wu Gen breathtaking. Needless to say, this must be Gu Yangsi's means.

Cold sweat poured down, Wu Yan turned over and jumped down from the tower, and shouted at the generals gathered below, "Bring torches, take a walk, Captain Shui and I will take 10,000 horses to support first." After Bao Xiang and the others gathered their men and horses, they quickly followed suit. Xue Xin guards the camp, remember, if a captive dares to make trouble, he will be beheaded immediately, and the camp will not be chaotic."

With an order, Wu Gen and Shui Congyue took the 7,000 people of the Murong family and 3,000 of their own men and horses, and rumbled out of the camp.

These 10,000 people were ready to fight, so they were pulled out quickly. But those people of Baoxiang were in charge of guarding the camp during the day, and many of them had already gone to the armor after the victory, so how could it be so easy to assemble. As for Xue Xin, he was the main force in attacking the Qiu Lin family today, and he couldn't be sent anymore, so he just stayed as a garrison.

If Wu Gan wants to support Luling or Ji Ye, the fastest way is to bypass the north side of the coalition camp. During the march, Wu Gan was stopped by arrows in the coalition camp, but at this time, his eyebrows were already burning, so he could only endure the damage and quickly pass through this area.

As soon as he bypassed the coalition camp, there was already a loud killing in front of him. Under the gradually darkening sky, countless people and horses were galloping wildly, and the dust and smoke kicked by the horses' hooves everywhere made the sky look even darker.

In the distance, a river of sparkling fire was rushing towards the dark and dreary mountains in the distance.

Near the camp of the Southern Army, the flames soared into the sky, and the non-commissioned officers of the coalition soldiers kept throwing rockets, and the thick smoke mixed with sparks kept rolling into the night sky. Under the light of the flames, the figures around the camp are longing,

The soldiers on both sides roared and slashed at each other, and the battle was already in a scorching state.

On one side is Luling Ridge, and on the other side is the Southern Army camp, which side to rescue. Wu Yan stared at the direction of the Southern Army camp, and glanced at Shui Congyue, "Let's go, go and catch Luling."

There are Yuan Xin, Ji Jing and others in Ji Ye, and it is not easy for the coalition forces to take it down. Moreover, the purpose of the coalition's large-scale march this time is to open up the Luling Ridge and join Ji Xian's men and horses, and this is only the direction of the second attack. Therefore, after a little thought, Wu Gen led people to run towards Catching Deer Ridge.

Along the rugged mountain road, Wu Gen led the men and horses to run on the mountain road, anxiously looking at the blazing mountains in the distance. Due to the battle with the coalition army in front of the ridge, there were not many people left in the camp on the Luling Ridge, and only about 3,000 were left in the northern army.

With such a long defensive line, it is difficult to withstand the opponent's two-sided attacks. If the defense is defeated, the coalition army and Ji Xian's men and horses will sweep down from high to low, and the southern army, which bears the brunt, does not know if it can hold on.

What's more, the opponent has opened a passage in the direction of Hanlu City, which also means that the coalition forces that lack food and grass and are besieged here may be resupplied and participate in siege operations, and the number of troops gathered by both sides will rise to 1230,000.

Those who lead the troops know that an army has more than 100,000 people, and it is not a matter of simply superimposing several people. Whether it is the sharpness and resilience of offense and defense, it is not the same. In the Iron Hand Province, it is enough to gather so many people and horses together, and they can run rampant all over the place.

This is also the reason why Ji Xin has been urging Ji Ye to expand the Northern Army, that is, he wants the Northern and Southern Army to reach 100,000 in order to deter various families.

At the moment, only by trying our best to hold the defensive line, isolate the opponent, and destroy them separately, can we not make the situation worse.

The further you go, the more coalition forces you encounter, and battles big and small start all the time. This is like a boat sailing in a river full of ice floe, and as the boat pushes the ice floe away, the ice floes will accumulate more and more along the river, making it more and more difficult to move forward.

After temporarily interrogating the captured coalition soldiers, Wu Qian learned that there were more than 20,000 people in this wave of people who attacked Luling, and it was the alliance leader Lu Lie and Zhenfu Bukuan who personally led the team.

The eastern passage of the coalition forces was blocked, and if it dragged on, there would be no mutiny. Only by opening up the road to the west can we find a glimmer of life. Therefore, the coalition army went out with all their might, and led a unit of Gu Dare to block the southern army, and Lu Lie, as the leader of the alliance, cooperated with the Ji Xian family and horses on the opposite side, focusing on attacking the southern army's camp on the ridge.

Wu Gen frowned, he only brought 10,000 horses out, and Baoxiang's reinforcements were still on the way, so this battle was not easy to fight. I only hope that the defenders who are stationed in the camp can support it.

The team gradually approached the ponding platform, and a large number of people gathered here, and it was difficult for Wu Gan's men and horses to advance for half a minute.

There are dotted torches everywhere, as if the stars in the sky have fallen on the earth. The dark and gloomy mountains were already covered in these beating flames.

Under these flames, accompanied by the shouts of the charge, sharp arrows whistled past the ears, the cold light of the swords was embellished, and the hot air spit out by the horses connected into a thin mist, and blood sprayed in the air from time to time. In front of the stagnant water table, it has been made into a pot of porridge.

Wu Gan tried to rush a few times, but in the face of such a thick army, it was like a wave hitting a solid shore, and he was beaten back again and again. Fortunately, the focus of the coalition forces at this time was the front camp, otherwise Wu Yan would have been squeezed out of this chaotic place.

A few messengers struggled through the crowded battlefield to find Wu Gan's side, "Zhenfu, Commander Zhang is in an emergency, the enemy is attacking the camp in a hurry, the camp has been lost, and we have retreated to the nearby hill."

"What." Wu Yan was in a hurry when he heard this, and grabbed the messenger over, "Didn't the enemy focus on attacking the southern army camp, and I had already asked Zhang Wuyang to hurry up and repair the fortifications facing the west, why would the northern army be lost?"

The messenger was covered in blood, and said with a frightened expression: "Calm, those who came from the other side can fly, they directly crossed the fortifications of our army, fell into the camp, and were caught off guard, the entrance to the large camp was taken by him, and the enemy troops from outside rushed in, and they were finally taken over. Not only us, but the southern army's camp on the Bone Mountain has also been taken, and the thieves are attacking the front camp behind the pond."

At this moment, the sky was like a silver platter

Under the moon, strange black shadows flew by, like bats in the night sky, flying towards the former military camp in the distance.

"That's it, they can avoid the trench towers and fly straight into the camp." The messenger excitedly pointed to the dark shadows in the distance and shouted hoarsely.

Looking at these strange shadows hovering in the air, Wu Gan's heart was half cold, with these strange people attacking the camp, how could the defense line of Luling be able to hold it.

"Don't panic, these people can fly into the camp, but they don't dare to fly up the mountain, the defense line has not been broken." Shui Congyue shouted at Wu Gan, "I took the Northern Army to make a detour to support our military village, and here you take the people of the Murong family to continue to bite the coalition army."

Wu Gen came back to his senses from his trance, yes, no matter how these people fly, they can't be as comfortable as birds, unless they are all masters of the four realms or above, then there is no need to fight this battle.

The terrain in the camp is relatively wide, so they have a foothold, which is convenient for group attacks, and the mountain is narrow, even if a few people fall, they will have to be slaughtered when they land. Therefore, the line of defense has not been broken, at least not completely.

"Okay, you go, I'm here to take it." After figuring out this joint, Wu Gen was no longer as depressed as Fang Cai.

The water from the moon led the people around the water platform, along the rugged mountain road on the side of the valley, towards the hills occupied by the northern army.

Looking at the overcrowded Jishui Valley, Wu Yan shouted at Che Zhen and Yuan Dai of the Murong family behind him, "Order your subordinates, stop alluving the water platform, try your best to capture a higher mountain, and then shout to me together, just shout four words, the last blow."

The two were assigned to fight with the Northern Army this time, and before coming, Murong Yuqiang had already told them to obey Wu Gan's command, although the two did not understand Wu Gan's military orders, but they still faithfully carried them out.

After throwing a repeater of crossbows and clearing the obstacles in front of them, 7,000 men fought their way to capture a nearby hill, all of them shouting at Jishuitai while resisting the counterattack of the coalition forces, "The last blow."

Under the command of two thousand households, the shouts of 7,000 people gradually became neat and loud, covering the noise of the battlefield and heading towards the deer hunting ridge in the distance.

For a while, those four words reverberated with a battlefield, resounding in the night sky.
