Seven or eight miles to the east of the battlefield is a continuous hill that extends to the north.

When the two armies confronted each other before, both sides actually had the idea of fighting this hill, but after several temptations, they finally chose to give up.

After all, this place is too far away from the camps of both sides, and hanging one army alone on the other side will not only be useless in the overall situation, but will allow itself to be targeted and weaken the strength of the army.

But at this time, the Da Yue official army had a cavalry quickly assembled on the hill, under the leadership of the chief general, everyone was full of energy and murderous spirit, all like tigers who wanted to go down the mountain to forage for food, condescending, staring at the prey below.

Although there were only 3,000 cavalry, the murderous aura exuded by them at this time was stronger than the 15,000 iron cavalry of the Liangzhou army. And what gave them this momentum was the main general who drew his sword for the head and pointed directly at the front - Sun Ning.

Only the sudden appearance of him, the Emperor of Dayue, and the fact that he led his troops to battle, could the entire Dayue official army, which had already fallen into despair and collapse, be reborn in just one or two days and become the elite of the world who was enough to use inferior troops to withstand several times the enemy.

And the reason why he appeared on this battlefield was naturally because he knew the overall changes earlier, so he entered the camp in time, giving all the soldiers courage and hope again.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, when he, Guan Zhenduo, and Yan Yifei returned to Huguang with hard work, and learned the astonishing news in Xiakou—that the Liangzhou army had set up a new emperor—he guessed that the war on the Xiangyang front would inevitably undergo extremely unfavorable changes for the imperial army.

Since the Liangzhou army was able to send people deep into Huguang and other cities to spread all kinds of news, how could they let go of the key target of Xiangyang?

And under the condition that Chen Qingyun had to lead the main force north to meet the strong enemy due to the situation, the situation in Xiangyang will only become more dangerous, and those guys who already have different intentions will inevitably take advantage of the situation and communicate with foreign enemies.

Once there is really a huge change in Xiangyang, and it is obtained by the Liangzhou army, the defeat of the front-line army will become inevitable!

Under this judgment, although Sun Ning and the three of them had not recovered from their injuries, they quickly went straight to Xiangyang from Xiakou.

If it were other imperial court generals and officials, even if they had seen through the enemy's conspiracy and strategy, rushing to Xiangyang might not be able to recover the decline. But Sun Ning is different after all, he is the current emperor, and one person can be worth a million troops. 33

His decisive attack was indeed timely enough, because just when he followed the clues and entered the governor's mansion to find the generals who stayed behind, he happened to encounter the Huang family sending people to assassinate Wei Ting and Nie Long.

At that time, the situation was indeed extremely dangerous, although Wei Nie and the two had considerable experience and ability in leading the army to fight, but when it came to fighting in the rivers and lakes, they were really too weak.

Wei Ting, in particular, quickly fell into a certain death situation when faced with the constant attacks of the three assassins.

It was also on the line of life and death that Sun Ning, Guan Zhenduo, and Yan Yifei rushed into the room and joined the battle.

Although all three of them have not recovered from their injuries, and their strength cannot be used by three or four percent, they are not something that ordinary Jianghu experts can handle.

What's more, the three of them still attacked from behind, completely killing the three assassins and catching one by surprise. Nie Long reacted in time, joined in the cooperation, and turned the situation around on the spot.

In the end, two of the three Assassins were beheaded, and one was seriously wounded and captured.

Then, the two of them saw clearly who the benefactor who rescued them was, and after recognizing Sun Ning, they were even more shocked under the excitement and hurriedly bowed down.

Sun Ning naturally quickly took over all the garrison matters in Xiangyang, on the one hand, he transferred troops to block the gates of the two cities, and on the other hand, he tortured the assassins, and found out from his mouth that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Huang family.

Then there is nothing to say about the rest of the matter, and at this time, it is impossible to worry too much or search for any additional evidence.

His Majesty the Emperor had only one will, and the soldiers of the Vietnamese army who stayed in Xiangyang acted quickly and directly served the seven major families headed by the Huang family.

Although they also have their own private soldiers, and even have their own people in the official army in the city, under the premise that His Majesty the Emperor personally came forward to suppress it, the resistance they can raise is really inferior to a wave in the small river ditch.

However, in one day, the seven families and other forces in the city who intended to rebel were all arrested, and not even a single fish escaped from the net.

Then, a scene unexpected by everyone appeared, Sun Ning actually did not report the changes in Xiangyang to the front line, and even directly stopped the logistics supply to the front line as the Liangzhou army hoped.

This made Wei Ting and the others a little confused, and even persuaded them quite worriedly.

But Sun Ning's answer was very clear: "The enemy army is large, and the soldiers and horses are numerous, and if we fight in a conventional way, it will only be unfavorable to our army." So if you want to break it in a battle, you must use strange soldiers and make strange moves!

"And right now, they're giving us that opportunity. As long as the enemy army is convinced that our army is in a certain defeat, you can be arrogant and confused, so that the weak can defeat the strong! ”

"But Your Majesty, even so, we can first send a message to General Chen on the front line, so that he can cooperate in the battle!"

"No, I'm sure that there must be many people in our front-line army who intend to defect and surrender to Guo Yan. At this time, they are still hiding in our army, and once the news that I have returned and Xiangyang has been settled is transmitted to the front line, this news will inevitably be known to the Liangzhou army.

"Only by hiding all your own people, appearing in the army at the last moment, and finding and taking down all these rebels in one fell swoop, can you not only boost the morale of our army, but also kill the enemy by surprise!"

In the face of Sun Ning's determination, Wei Ting and the others could only choose to obey their fate.

So, in the next few days, the whole city of Xiangyang remained silent, until the day before yesterday, it was discovered that Guo Yan of the Liangzhou army appeared directly in front of the army, trying to say that Chen Qingyun was surrendered, and Sun Ning only brought about a hundred cavalry and went straight to the front-line military camp after dusk.

At that time, Chen Qingyun was facing the persecution of many half-hearted subordinates in the Chinese army commander's tent, and he couldn't hold on, but he waited for real reinforcements to appear.

His Majesty the Emperor's sudden appearance carried more weight than any words, and it was enough to boost the morale of the whole army in an instant.

As for the generals of the Vietnamese army who had already revealed that they had become internal responses, they were naturally quickly taken down, and not even a word could be passed out of the camp.

This was the strange silence of the Dayue military camp for two consecutive days, until Guo Yan raised the whole army to attack today.

What he didn't know was that in the past two days and nights, the soldiers in the camp had not been idle, and had already dug out the camp's ditches and built simple earthen walls, so as to make full preparations for the next chaotic battle in the camp.

At this time, this large battalion of the Vietnamese army had already become a big trap for dragging the enemy's main force. As for the ones that are really used to break the enemy, only the three thousand carefully selected cavalry led by Sun Ning himself!

Some people died, but not completely......
