Sixty miles east of the main camp of the Iron Eagle Legion, another military camp has risen from the ground, which is much smaller in scale, but it is the core of the legion, because Cao Ziang, who has just been reinstated, lives here.

Why don't you live in the camp, in Cao Ziang's own words, it's too stuffy there.

The soldiers all thought that this was because he had to do something different in order to show off his reinstatement, and when he was fighting in the north before, as long as he was wronged, whether it was from the military department or the emperor's side, he would make a similar move and move the commander's tent out of the camp to express his dissatisfaction.

When the news reached the Xiban camp, Meng Tu frowned and asked, "Who is this Cao Ziang, is he very powerful?" This king seems to have heard of this name, but since he was demoted to a partial general from the beginning, he shouldn't be a powerful character, right?"

The big tent was full of Western barbarian generals.

A subordinate general stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Great King, don't underestimate this Cao Ziang, he himself has the rank of a Golden Body Realm martial artist, has been in charge of the Iron Eagle Legion for more than ten years, and has made great achievements in the north. was demoted before because he was dissatisfied with Ye Yunyang, the coach of the three armies, and felt that the other party was young and easy to bully, so he staged a scene of seizing power, but instead of succeeding, he was obeyed by Ye Yunyang. ”

Meng Tu raised his eyebrows: "In this case, the surname Cao is a character." ”

The subordinate general echoed: "Definitely a character, when he was in the north, he was known for stalking, and since he began to harass our north, the brothers have suffered a lot from the Iron Eagle Army." Now that he has moved out of the camp and only brought a few thousand people with his personal guards, it is a godsend, and after getting rid of the surname Cao, the Iron Eagle Legion will have no backbone. ”

Meng Tu was overjoyed: "Okay, then send 20,000 cavalry and run for a hundred miles to take Cao Ziang's old life!"

Immediately, someone said: "20,000 is too little, there are thousands of his personal guards, and he is a high-level martial artist himself, it is difficult for 20,000 people to take it down in a short time." ”

"Moreover, the Iron Eagle Army is known for its thousand-mile attack, and the commander's battalion is attacked, and reinforcements will arrive in a short time, so it is difficult to achieve such a small number of troops. ”

Meng Tu frowned: "Then 50,000 people?"

"I'm afraid it won't work, we have to fight quickly, the more people there are, the more advantage. The general analyzed: "After killing Cao Ziang, the Iron Eagle Army will definitely pounce on them to avenge their main general, so we have to consider retreating, and it is easy to be surrounded and annihilated by the other party if there are fewer people." ”

Meng Tu gritted his teeth: "Then send 100,000 people, and send two other Golden Body Realm masters to accompany you, who are specifically responsible for dealing with the surnamed Cao, and you must get his head back! You should make preparations now, select 100,000 elite cavalry, and be ready to set off at any time!"

"Yes!"

One after another, the generals departed, and one of them stood and refused to go.

Meng Tu didn't take him seriously, this guy had just surrendered from the royal court, and when he noticed it, several minutes had passed, and he asked, "General Sun, what else do you have to do?"

The obscene-looking General Sun clenched his fists and said, "My lord, there is something that the general must tell you, it is related to the main general of the Iron Eagle Army, and the stakes are very high, so you can only listen to it alone." ”

After speaking, he took a few steps forward and whispered a few words against the side of Meng Tu's head.

Meng Tu was first angry, then excited, patted the table and said: "Okay, the cunning Han army, actually playing this trick with this king, do you really think that we are easy to bully?"

......

The commander of the Iron Eagle Legion, the big tent, sent news from the spies, saying that the Western Barbarian King had ordered the gathering of 100,000 elite cavalry, ready to set off, and the target was here.

Cao Ziang was overjoyed, he had been worried before, in case Meng Tu only sent thirty or fifty thousand people over, although it would not be a problem to destroy it, but it would not let Xiban break his muscles and bones, and it would be difficult to affect the morale of the other party.

If the morale of the other party is high, the 200,000 Iron Eagle Army will definitely be looking for death.

Now the boulder in my heart can finally land, the enemy sends 100,000 elites, and the Iron Eagle Army occupies a two-to-one advantage in strength, plus the other advantages of the ambush side, it can definitely be wiped out.

Without these 100,000 elites, Meng Tu would definitely be so distressed that he vomited blood.

Cao Ziang ordered with excitement to leave six teams of 5,000 men behind and continue to harass the Xiban camp in order to paralyze the other party.

The rest of the army is all ambushed in the enemy's path, waiting for the opponent to enter the ambush circle and launch an attack, to ensure that the enemy is completely annihilated, and no fish can be left behind.

The Iron Eagle Legion moved into action, all in place before dark, ready for an ambush, and waiting for the enemy to appear.

According to the intelligence, the enemy is likely to take advantage of the night to kill, and the soldiers have received orders not to sleep, and everyone has to keep their eyes open.

However, they stared and waited until dawn, and the enemy did not appear.

The horse reported that there was no trace of the enemy within a radius of fifty miles.

Cao Ziang was dumbfounded, could it be that the previous information was wrong?

It's impossible, the spies were personally planted by him in the Xiban camp, and they are all Nanban people who have been bought with a lot of money, even if someone sends the wrong information, it is impossible for several of them to make the same mistake, right?

The soldiers did not sleep all night and were very tired.

After thinking about it, maybe it was the leakage of their own intelligence, so the enemy did not send troops, and there is only this reasonable explanation.

He was just about to give the order to retreat, but Tanma hurried over: "Lord Qiqi, I have found a large number of enemies in the southeast, and the number is not yet certain. ”

"A large force of enemies, that means they are still coming. Cao Ziang didn't have time to think about it, and said: "Order all the soldiers in the ambush circle to continue to ambush and wait for the enemy." ”

"Yes!"

On the ambush circle, 170,000 soldiers held their breath and looked ahead, and the generals positioned themselves through binoculars and determined that the enemy still had 20 miles to go.

At this time, the herald sent by Ye Yunyang arrived, and he said to the two lieutenant generals: "Commander Ye has an order, ordering you to withdraw from this place immediately, run as fast as you can, and run as fast as you can!"

"Why?" said Adjutant General Zuo did not understand.

The right lieutenant general glared and said: "General Cao asked us to hold this place and attack after the enemy enters the encirclement, why does Commander Ye ask to retreat, such a good opportunity, don't you fight?"

The herald said: "Two generals, what are you dreaming of, the 700,000 troops of the Western Barbarians are pouring out, and there are 300,000 people who are the vanguards, who surrounds whom?"

"What, 700,000 people?" General Zuo was taken aback.

The herald nodded and said: "That's right, Commander Ye has found out that the enemy is pouring out, and it is a pipe dream to surround people with just a little bit of you, in order to preserve your strength, so he asks you to withdraw quickly, do not make contact with the enemy, and wait for his next order." Coach Ye also said that you agreed in front of him, saying that you would obey his orders. ”

The two looked at each other, and there was only fear left in their hearts, no wonder when they used the binoculars to locate the enemy army just now, they felt that something was wrong, such a large group of people and horses under black pressure were definitely more than 100,000.

Now I know that it turned out to be 700,000 people.

Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and withdraw! Even if they didn't agree to obey Ye Yunyang's order at that time, they would still carry out this order, and no one would feel that their life was long.

After half of the people had retreated, the right lieutenant general asked, "By the way, did you send the news to General Cao?"

The herald said: "My duty is to inform the two deputy marshals, and Commander Ye has no last resort, and he should send someone else to inform General Cao." Besides, General Cao is not stupid, so many people rushed over, can he not run?"

The right lieutenant general felt that he was asking too much, waved his hand, and retreated westward with his headquarters.

170,000 people, completely out of position in five minutes, the Iron Eagle Army is worthy of being an elite unit, if it is replaced by other armies, it is difficult to react so quickly.

The Western Barbarian Army, the forward general watched the Iron Eagle Army withdraw, and hurriedly ordered someone to send a message to Meng Tu.

Meng Tu, who was in the position of the Chinese army, heard the news and immediately asked: "What about Cao Ziang, did he run away too?"

Yesterday, he learned from General Sun that the reason why Cao Ziang set up a main general camp outside was to catch the big fish of Xiban, and the Iron Eagle Legion had already set up an ambush on the road.

Meng Tu decided to plan and led the whole army to kill, not only to destroy Cao Ziang, but also to destroy the Iron Eagle Legion by the way.

Now that the Iron Eagle Army has fled, if the 700,000 army is in vain, how can they explain to the soldiers.

"King Qiyu, Cao Ziang's big tent is still there, and the guards are also there. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let the forward battalion speed up and rush over, don't let the surnamed Cao also run away!" Meng Tu said without thinking: "You tell the forward general, let him leave the middle army and the rear army alone, the Iron Eagle Army has fled, and there is no threat to us." ”

"Understood!"

When the 300,000-strong army rushed to Cao Ziang's camp, Cao Ziang was still dreaming of annihilating the enemy army, and it was not until the enemy army rushed through the ambush area and did not receive any blows that he began to doubt.

Why didn't your men attack?

Why does the enemy not drive like only 100,000 men?

What the hell is going on?

By the time he came to his senses, the enemy had rushed outside the camp and surrounded it.

"Cao Ziang, you have been surrounded by my 300,000 army, there is no possibility of survival, if you don't want to die, you should take the initiative to surrender!" The forward general began to shout: "As long as you are willing to surrender, our Western Barbarian King will let you live, if you are willing to serve our king, he will definitely not treat you badly." ”

"Surrender, surrender, surrender!" 300,000 people shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

Cao Ziang didn't understand why this happened, he was a face-loving person, so he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to surrender, and shouted: "The soldiers listen to the order and break out with the general, there are 200,000 troops of mine outside, and we will definitely be able to ensure our safety." ”

Seeing this, the forward general waved his hand: "There is no forgiveness for the stubborn and unrelenting, where are the two Golden Body Realm seniors, please come forward to deal with the surname Cao!"

The two masters flew out from behind and swept towards the direction where Cao Ziang was.

The general raised his sword: "Soldiers, kill!"

At the same time, the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Army, who had just withdrawn, received an order to quickly move their troops south, take advantage of the emptiness of the Xiban camp, and cut off the foundation of the Xiban army.

Meng Tu will come out of the nest, and Ye Yunyang will also plan and leave Cao Ziang to him and take their camp directly.

Who let Cao Ziang take the initiative to be bait, since it is the path he chose, he can't blame others.
