Chapter 250: A Great Victory
Early the next morning, not long after the men and horses who went to outflank the sneak attack left, Shui Linglong volunteered to lead Yunqi Palace to take the lead.
General Gao was overjoyed and dispatched a team of 500 people to supply water exquisitely.
Many people heard that it was the first battle, and they were nervous, but there was nothing they could do about it.
The army waited a little longer, divided into several relatively independent teams, and entered the canyon in turn.
Lu Jin entered the canyon with the vanguard troops, and the road inside was rugged and narrow, and they could only walk in a long snake formation.
When they arrived at the bottom of their camp last night, they saw that their own team was rummaging above, and then a fire lit up this small camp, and the flames soared into the sky.
Shui Linglong led the team through the canyon smoothly, and according to the agreement last night, she ordered: "While Zhennanguan doesn't know, we will catch them off guard."
The road to Zhennanguan, Shui Linglong has been more familiar, she deliberately took the wrong way, and did not stop until the sun was westward.
"Oops, are we on the wrong track?" Shui Linglong pretended to panic.
"Elder Shui, don't be impatient, I'll go and investigate." Several Yunqi Palace disciples rode forward to investigate.
Shui Linglong led the team away from the canyon and was safe, and the army that remained inside was suffering.
——————
After Lu Jin left last night, Wan Yanxi asked Fang Ju to return to Zhennan Pass immediately, and asked King Zhennan to select an elite army to enter the canyon overnight and guard the side of the exit.
So Shui Linglong They left the canyon under the noses of the king of Zhennan.
Wan Yanxi and Ma Guanshan led their team, quietly lurking near the imperial army, watching them all enter the pocket.
Subsequently, Ma Guanshan acted as Wan Yanxi's eyes and told her about the every move of the team behind the imperial army.
Wan Yanxi's perception is amazing, with the improvement of internal strength, she can already detect clues within a radius of 100 zhang, no matter how far away she is, she has to rely on the help of others.
The imperial army was numerous, and the fish in the canyon could only march slowly, and the end could not be taken care of.
Finding the right time, Wan Yanxi ordered his subordinates to fire a salvo of bows and crossbows, and the court soldiers who followed slowly suddenly fell down.
The valley is narrow, unlike the flat wilderness, which can outflank the left and right, so it can only move around in a limited range.
Although the imperial army had an absolute advantage in numbers, the front was powerless and could not help at all.
When the army behind them gathered to prepare for a counterattack, Wan Yanxi and the others immediately ran away without a trace, wanting to chase after them, but they were afraid of an ambush, and no one dared to attack rashly.
After a stalemate for a long time, the imperial army hurried again, and the long snake formation could not take into account both the end and the end, and the speed of the lone behind was slow and was killed by random arrows, and the formation was chaotic.
The last team did not dare to move any more, and hurriedly sent someone to report to General Gao.
General Gao received news from the scouts that Shui Linglong's vanguard had successfully left the valley, and he was afraid that there would be another change, so he ordered the whole army to speed up.
In this way, the distance between each team, between the teams and the teams, is gradually widened, and no one can help anyone.
When General Gao learned that there was a sneak attack from behind, he was afraid that there would be an ambush in front, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to defend on the spot, causing the whole team to panic.
The scouts who had just been shuttling in front began to rush to the back of the army, passing information back and forth.
The last team of the imperial army was anxiously waiting, and a scout arrived: "The general has an order, the army is moving forward at full speed, the front has already left the canyon, and if you delay any longer, I am afraid that you will really be trapped here."
When everyone heard this, they were all busy hurrying forward, and the chaos of the formation had long been out of order.
The scout galloped backwards.
How did they know that Ma Guanshan had already intercepted and killed a scout halfway at the behest of Wan Yanxi, and put on the other party's clothes to convey false information.
There was no suspense, and the team was killed by random arrows after not going far.
Ma Guanshan continued to rush to the front, capturing several scouts who came to spy on intelligence one after another, so that the imperial army could attack the rear
Nothing is known about things.
After Yan Xi ordered all his subordinates to change into the armor of the imperial army, and then scouts arrived, Ma Guanshan told them: "The sneak attack behind is a small force of Zhennan Wang, which has been killed by us, and there is no hidden danger."
General Gao ordered to continue moving, and after a while, another scout reported: "The ranks behind are in chaos, and now no one can figure out how many people have come, and our soldiers have been killed and wounded one after another."
It's no wonder that Wan Yanxi and the others put on exactly the same armor, which made the army behind them defenseless.
Finally, a fish that slipped through the net conveyed the information to the big tent of the Chinese army, and General Gao was shocked: "Impossible, it is impossible for our own people to kill their own people, they must have put on our armor and pretended to be, listen to my orders, and follow the last team to see the soldiers who are also wearing the same clothes, and kill them."
The idea is good, but no one knows whether it will be friendly or enemy forces following behind, and if nothing else, there will be an accident.
Under tremendous pressure and suspicion, the two lone teams began to kill each other.
Effortlessly, it solved the living force of the imperial army.
And the army that was about to walk out of the canyon in front encountered a fierce ambush by the army of King Zhennan, and fell not far from the exit.
There was an ambush in front and a pursuer in the back, and seeing the mountains and jungles in the canyon obscuring the sun to the west, trying to kill it before dark was comparable to climbing to the sky.
In desperation, General Gao ordered the whole army to quickly move closer to the center and set up camp on the gentle hillside, only to break through after dawn tomorrow.
Buried in the pot to eat and drink to his heart's content, General Gao passed on the password for the night to prevent outsiders from mixing in.
In fact, after Yan Xi, they had already mixed in the team and feasted, and took the opportunity of patrolling to tell their own people who were waiting outside to charge.
The ugly time is coming to an end, it is the time when people sleep most soundly, and the army of the king of Zhennan first sent a small team of people to use the password of the night to deceive the gate of the camp and easily solve the soldiers patrolling the periphery.
Suddenly, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the army killed the imperial army by surprise.
Wan Yanxi and the others who had mixed in earlier had all changed into the armor of the imperial army, and in order to avoid accidental injury, they tied red cloth strips on their left arms to distinguish them.
In the melee, many people were killed before they could react, and many more died from the trampling of each other while their own people were fleeing.
Wan Yanxi acted as an internal response in the army, lighting fires everywhere to create chaos, and the flames made people even more confused about how many people came, and fear enveloped everyone's hearts.
The defeat was like a mountain, and even if General Gao swung his sword and killed several fleeing soldiers, it could not change the situation of the rout.
Seeing that he could not control the situation, the horse was about to break through when the stray arrow flew right in the throat and fell from his horse.
In the chaos, everyone was in danger, no one cared about anyone, and the general who led tens of thousands of troops died quietly like this.
After dawn, the imperial camp was full of unburned tents, still emitting black smoke.
The soldiers died and fled, and the moans and wails of the wounded were everywhere in the canyon.
The army of the king of Zhennan cleared the battlefield and escorted all the wounded and surrendered back to Zhennan Pass.
After careful screening, it was found that Shentu Hong, the prince of Shentu, had survived the scuffle and was unscathed, so he was naturally held as a prisoner in a separate room for good entertainment.
The Shentu Department of Tianrong Kingdom relied on the terrifying 10,000 iron horses, of which the entire set of equipment of the 3,000 iron horses fell into the hands of the king of Zhennan, which was a huge bargaining chip.
Guan Yi, the head of the Shuangdao Sect who was responsible for protecting Shen Tuhong, and several of his high-ranking disciples were nowhere to be found, and it was estimated that they took advantage of the chaos to escape.
This battle was originally just intended to sneak attack and delay the imperial army, but the result was a complete victory, which was really an accident within an accident.
