Chapter 278: Traitor!
The appearance of reinforcements caught the enemy by surprise, but the enemy's commander was able to do it in the face of danger.
He quickly calmed down, and then calmly commanded his subordinates to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Liu Mo also understands this truth, plus his troops are already a tired division, and there are still many wounded soldiers, so it is urgent to rest in place.
The battle ended quickly.
At this time, a cavalryman came to Liu Mo's side, "Lord Liu, my family is looking for you." ”
"Take me there, I just want to find him."
Whoever is coming?
The main general of the reinforcements stood alone on the edge of the camp in contemplation, facing the mountain of his victory.
He was dressed in plain armor and riding shoes, almost indistinguishable from his cavalry, except for the cape.
"Lord Ming, Lord Liu is here!"
The man turned around, Liu Mo recognized the other party, and knew in his heart that something was wrong.
This person's name is Ming Gui, one of the most trusted generals of the Six Princes.
He had bottomless eyes as deep as pools, sunken cheekbones and an angular square chin covered with a short, neat black beard, but it was difficult to hide the haggard look of his face.
He gritted his teeth, his right hand into a fist, and even his neck and shoulders tensed.
In my impression, Ming Gui has a stubborn personality, like pure iron, black, hard and strong, but it is also easy to break, and like iron, it will be broken before bending.
"Lord Ming, you appeared on the right wing, did there be an accident in the Chinese army where the six princes were?"
Ming Gui frowned, "Yes." He replied, "Your Highness's Chinese army has been completely defeated by the enemy!" ”
"What?"
This news was undoubtedly like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Liu Mo was speechless.
According to the previous deployment, the six princes, as the main generals, of course, could not help but keep up with the left and right flanks. In Great Xia, where communication conditions are not developed, the main general is too far away from the front army, which will inevitably cause news blockage and delayed orders.
So the six princes chose a place less than ten miles away from Liu Mo's right flank to set up the main force. This place is close to the Nakasendo Road and is located in the south of the province, and the choice of this place as the main camp shows that the field experience of the six princes is really rich.
However, this was not a perfect choice for the forces of the Six Princes.
Because the Great Prince's troops had already come here and stationed troops and horses in the surrounding area, the overall layout had been repeatedly studied and reviewed for several days.
On the other hand, Liu Mo's side escaped all the way from Ming Customs to here, and their deployment was relatively hasty and had a great deal of arbitrariness.
However, even if there is a certain disadvantage in the deployment of the formation, it will not be defeated in a day, right?
You must know that if Liu Mo's right flank encounters an enemy army that is twice as large as his own, then the enemy army is unlikely to send more troops in the middle lane.
"What the hell is going on?" Liu Mo asked loudly.
"Traitor? There are traitors among us! Minggui replied.
Liu Mo was shocked. "Who is it? Tell me what happened! ”
Originally.
Just yesterday, under the command of the Six Princes, although the enemy army had the advantage in strength, it could not please him.
The battle situation is a stalemate of advancing and retreating.
And by noon yesterday afternoon: the two sides were fighting at a stalemate, and neither had achieved a clear advantage. But at this moment, Ling Sheng, the general of the left wing, suddenly turned back and led his subordinates to attack the Chinese army of the Six Princes.
Although the six princes were cautious with their troops, they made a deployment to keep an eye on the right flank.
But his original intention was that he was afraid that the right wing would be defeated by the enemy, so he made a conservative defensive plan, and he never expected that his most trusted right-wing general would turn against him.
Although the initial attack was fended back, the enemy attack was in full swing, and it was in a rout that night.
In the early morning of the next day, under the attack of the enemy on two sides, the Chinese army of the six princes collapsed.
As a guerrilla unit, Ming Gui shuttled between the battlefields according to his previous deployment, providing support and conveying information at any time.
When he found out that the left-wing generals were against the water and wanted to go to support the Chinese army, it was too late.
The tide of battle changed so quickly that his guerrilla troops arrived at the Chinese army, only to see corpses everywhere.
At this time, seeing the wolf smoke rising on the right flank, he immediately led the guerrilla troops to support.
Fortunately, Liu Mo held out long enough to repel the enemy troops on the right flank.
"Then where are the six princes now?" Liu Mo asked.
"According to the report from the spies, His Highness is fleeing with the troops to the foot of Tianfeng Mountain!"
Hearing this, Liu Mo fell into deep thought, Ming Gui already knew the whereabouts of the six princes, but he did not go to the rescue, which can only show one problem: the enemy's pursuit force is too strong.
Therefore, he will appear on the right flank in time to repel the enemy army for Liu Mo.
And now, Ming Gui's expression allowed Liu Mo to judge that even if the army on the right flank was added, it might not be able to relieve the siege for the six princes.
"Lord Liu, your subordinates are exhausted, in my opinion, it's best to rest for a day and wait until tomorrow to make plans!"
Such advice is conservative and dispassionate.
According to the information currently available, the Chinese army of the Six Princes was routed under the attack of traitors.
How many forces are left, it is not clear.
It is not clear exactly where they fled.
How many forces the enemy has, it is not clear.
In ancient times, when information was not developed, blindly sending troops to rescue might fall into the trap of the enemy, and then you would really lose the war completely.
"Be calm!" Liu Mo admonished himself, "Okay, after dinner, I want to hold an emergency military meeting!" ”
Minggui nodded in agreement.
At nightfall, in the tent.
After listening to Ming Gui's message, everyone was silent, everyone looked at Liu Mo, they were waiting for Liu Mo to come up with an idea.
However, at this time, Liu Mo was sitting there, his eyes closed, and his brows were furrowed.
"What should I do?" Minggui asked, he was arranged to be a guerrilla general, apparently without the brains to formulate a strategy.
Liu Mo, after analyzing all the information brought by Ming Gui and carefully inspecting the terrain of Tianfeng Mountain, he also had a plan to destroy the enemy.
But, that plan was too much...
"Lord Liu, say it quickly, I know you already have a good plan to break the enemy!" Zhu Min asked anxiously.
Liu Mo slowly opened his eyes and replied, "I want to defeat the enemy with water!" ”
"Water attack?" The crowd was puzzled.
Liu Mo stood up and pointed to the sand table in the middle, "Tianfeng Mountain is here, this mountain is towering, and there is a water on the top of the mountain..."
Then, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ming Gui's men, "Never, Lord Liu, your plan is completely impossible!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Mo just smiled slightly, not surprised at all.
Because he himself felt that this plan was too cruel.
Why?
Because the Six Princes and his remnants were at the foot of the mountain, Liu Mo's plan for attacking the water was to lose the lives of the Six Princes and all his troops, and they would die with the enemy.
Not only that, but hundreds of thousands of people will also be implicated.
