Chapter 260: The Big Picture Has Been Decided
The dawn of dawn illuminated the earth, and Du Fuwei led more than 3,000 remnants of the defeated army to run wildly, but fortunately the enemy did not pursue, but he still had palpitations and did not dare to stop for a moment.
The thieves who were thrown into the valley must have been more than lucky, and in the few hours he was on the run, he had been wondering what had gone wrong, how a well-planned sneak attack could turn into an ambush, and it could be concluded that the spies were high-level figures, and there were only a few people who knew the route of the march: the king of thieves, Zhuge Haotang, Chen Muyang, and Chai Jiangtao.
The king of thieves will definitely not leak secrets, and the possibility of Chai Jiangtao is also very small, so there are only two people left - Zhuge Haotang and Chen Muyang.
Thinking back to what happened yesterday, it was Chen Muyang who proposed the sneak attack on Nanyue Mansion, and it was Zhuge Haotang who perfected the details of the operation.
He thought of a more serious thing - a military order, in fact, even if he didn't make a military order in front of the king of thieves, it would be a capital crime to lose tens of thousands of soldiers, but he was unwilling to be killed like this, and decided to return to the city of thieves, and insisted that it was the two of them who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the intelligence.
Yes, that's it!
After thinking about it, his face became much better.
The procession came to the place where he first suspected an ambush, and he shouted almost without thinking: "Brothers, after a maximum of an hour from here, we will be able to enter Nanshan, and we will be completely safe." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the gong sounded again.
The high ground on both sides of the road was full of people, armed with strong bows and crossbows, and a group of cavalry, numbering about 10,000 people, also rushed out of the road in front of them, waving the banner of the Iron Eagle Army.
Why is it the Iron Eagle Army again?
Dufwey took the reins, and the horses stopped, and the team followed. As far as he could see, the number of enemies was about 20,000, more than six times that of his own.
He was right last night, there was indeed an ambush here, but they were ordered to let the enemy go and not expose the target.
This was done to confuse Du Fuwei and make him think that his sixth sense was wrong, and he also ambushed people in the second position, Du Fuwei really thought that he had not led his troops to fight for too long, and there was a miscalculation, and then he relaxed his vigilance at the third ambush point.
The other party's main general opened his mouth and said, "Du Fuwei, Wang Qin, the partial general of the Iron Eagle Army, has been waiting for you here for a long time. ”
Du Fuwei chuckled in his heart, the other party could call his name, and the sentence of waiting for a long time showed that they had been prepared.
He originally wanted to rely on the martial arts level of himself and his subordinates to rush over and break through a gap like last night, since the other party knew his own details, could he not send a master to take charge?
Seeing that he was silent, Wang Qin said coldly: "Du Fuwei, I would have advised you to surrender, just with your little people, there is no possibility of rushing over." ”
Du Fuwei gritted his teeth and said: "As the three military divisions of Nanshan, even if you die, you will not surrender, I want to see what qualifications you have to kill me, brothers are ready to charge." No one can stop us!"
"Stubborn!" Wang Qin shook his head, and then shouted loudly: "Gu Guoshi, this guy is unwilling to surrender, you can always show up." ”
Swish......
A figure jumped down from a height, it was Gu Zhengxiang in a cloth robe, he had arrived from the imperial capital on flying wings overnight, specifically to deal with Du Fuwei.
When he heard the word national teacher, Du Fuwei had an ominous premonition in his heart, in the Han Empire, only martial artists in the Golden Body Realm would be named national teachers.
Although he is also in the Golden Body Realm, he is only in the initial acquaintance stage, and he belongs to the lowest level of this realm, as long as he is a person above the ink recognition period, he is not an opponent.
Unfortunately, Gu Zhengxiang was in the hearing period, five levels higher than him, and he was much better than him in terms of temperament alone.
Gu Zhengxiang glanced at him and said, "Du Fuwei, you want to die yourself, there is no need to pull your subordinates together, the national division will give you a chance, if you can defeat me, you can take them out of here." ”
Duvowe snorted, "What if I lose?"
Gu Zhengxiang sneered: "Defeat is death, do you think that it is rare for national divisions to capture prisoners, if you die, they can choose life or death independently." ”
Du Fuwei glanced back, he thought that everyone would have a righteous and awe-inspiring face, but he was greatly disappointed, most people did not dare to look directly into his gaze, and it was obvious that they would surrender as soon as they died.
Gritting his teeth, he drew his sword.
Gu Zhengxiang smiled faintly, and the nine-section soft whip of the famous weapon was drawn from the sleeve on the right, the whip was one zhang long, and the front had a spear-shaped spike, shining with a cold light in the sun.
Du Fuwei clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse rushed towards Gu Zhengxiang.
The level of the two is very different, so the result is not any surprise, and in the fourth round, Gu Zhengxiang used a move to spit out the letter of the white snake, and the soft whip wrapped around Du Fuwei's neck, and the spike immediately pierced into the throat, and he pulled it lightly, and Du Fuwei's head moved from his neck.
Among the more than 3,000 people, except for a very small number who committed suicide by drawing their swords, the vast majority chose to surrender.
In this battle, a total of more than 16,000 enemies were annihilated, 23,000 were captured, and the Han army won a great victory.
The funny thing is that the king of thieves is still waiting for the good news of the successful sneak attack on Nanyue Mansion, and is dreaming of his spring and autumn season.
When the news came, the entire City of Thieves was in an uproar!
Because 40,000 people were either killed or captured, not one of them escaped, and no one, including the king of thieves, knew what had happened.
The reason why I knew that the whole army was annihilated was because the Han army sent Du Fuwei's head, and now this head is lying quietly in front of the king of thieves.
"How can this be?" The king of thieves refused to believe the facts in front of him, and said angrily: "The sneak attack plan is top secret, how can the Han army know, immediately go and pass the three military advisors over, this king wants to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Outside the palace, Chen Muyang said with a puzzled face: "How could such a thing happen, even if you accidentally encounter the Han army, it's a big deal to fight a battle, and then return the same way, at most the mission fails, but the result is that 40,000 people are wiped out, how did the three army divisions command the battle?"
Chai Jiangtao shook his head and said, "I also think it's strange, could it be a news leak?"
Zhuge Hao's eyes glared: "There are only a few of us who know about this, and besides, there is no Han army in the east, if you want to eat our 40,000 elites, the other party must have at least 100,000 people to do it!"
Chai Jiangtao smiled bitterly: "I can think that His Highness must be very angry, let's think about how to explain to him first." ”
Chen Muyang and Zhuge Haotang glanced at each other, the so-called worries of the two were just on their faces, but in fact, their hearts were as calm as water.
The three of them walked into the righteous hall together, and the king of thieves was roaring: "Coincidence? How can it be a coincidence, there is such a coincidence in the world!"
The three of them didn't know why, Chai Jiangtao asked cautiously: "Brother Wang, what coincidence, did you find the reason for the defeat of the three army divisions?"
The king of thieves said angrily: "I just received information from Nanyue Mansion, saying that the Iron Eagle Army was temporarily mobilized, and it happened to meet our army that was sneaking up, and the two sides fought hard, because the other party occupied an absolute numerical advantage, with 200,000 against 40,000, our entire army was annihilated. ”
Chai Jiangtao's eyes widened: "Impossible, we have 40,000 people, even if we encounter enemies several times our own, we should at least flee back a part of them...... Also, the three army divisions are Golden Body Realm martial artists, and the main general of the Iron Eagle Army is at most the Tongyuan Realm, and others have no chance to escape, he can definitely fight a bloody way. ”
The King of Thieves' face was gloomy and said, "Unfortunately, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent a national teacher from the Golden Body Realm to serve as an overseer. As you know, the three army divisions are in the first acquaintance period of the Golden Body Realm, and he can't beat the ordinary Golden Body Realm martial artists, plus the siege of tens of thousands of enemy troops, so he ended up in the first two places. ”
The three of them turned their heads and saw the head of the person on the side, convinced that it was Du Fuwei.
Chen Muyang clenched his fists and said, "Your Highness, I think there is something strange about this matter, is the information from Nanyue Mansion reliable?"
The king of thieves picked up the envelope on the table and said, "It has always been reliable, it is a nail that this king personally buried in Nanyue Mansion, responsible for transmitting the confidential information obtained from the Han Imperial Court, and the information about the emptiness of the Nanyue Mansion is provided by him." ”
Chen Muyang made a thoughtful look, and said to himself: "That should be reliable, the three military divisions are too unlucky, they will actually run into the Iron Eagle Army." ”
Zhuge Haotang objected: "Isn't the Iron Eagle Army stationed in the west, how can it appear in the east?"
There is a detailed description in the information sent by Qi Shan, saying that the Han Emperor Liu Qi saw that the war was in a stalemate, and it would be difficult for the Han army to break through the strong defense line of the royal city for a while, so he wanted to attack the east and the west again. He asked the Iron Eagle Army to secretly move to the east and make a posture of attacking the eastern front, so as to induce the king of thieves to make a miscalculation, and transferred the defenders of the western and northern lines to supplement the eastern front, resulting in a decrease in the strength of the western and northern fronts, and the Iron Eagle Army took the opportunity to attack the northern front, striving to break through the defense line of the royal city.
Although the Iron Eagle Army completely annihilated Du Fuwei's troops, it also exposed the matter of moving eastward, and the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west was a game of smashing, and had to retreat to Nanyue Mansion for rest.
Because of the victory, after the Iron Eagle Army entered the city, it was widely publicized, and Qi Shan personally asked several generals to get first-hand information.
Chen Muyang forcibly held back a smile and tried his best to make his expression look normal, what happened to kill Du Fuwei was planned by himself and Ye Yunyang.
Not only was the guy in Qishan deceived, but even the king of thieves was deceived and attributed the failure of this sneak attack to bad luck.
Chai Jiangtao smiled bitterly: "God is too blind, after this incident, the Han army will definitely strengthen the defense of Nanyue Mansion, and it will be difficult for us to sneak attack again." ”
Zhuge Hao glanced at Chen Muyang quietly, and said in his heart, you are ruthless enough, silently eat 40,000 Southern Mountain thieves, plus a golden body realm of the three military divisions, the most important thing is that it is not suspected by the king of thieves, it is simply seamless, according to this speed of development, it will not be long before the king of thieves will become a commander of the light pole.
Chen Muyang smiled at him, meaning that this can be done thanks to your assistance.
The two of them tacitly agreed.
