Chapter 280: Ci Bu Takes Charge of the Soldiers (1)
The evening breeze blew, bringing a fresh feeling, Liu Mo took a sharp breath, and then he felt better.
It's been almost a year since I left Rongcheng, I don't know what happened to Shiqi and them? They must be praying for me.
And my children, I don't know if they have learned to speak.
The eldest prince is very close to me now, and tomorrow will be the day when I will fight him to the death. He must not be able to sleep for tomorrow's battle now.
I wonder if his subordinates will be giving him advice at this time, telling him that I will have the possibility of a water attack?
War is like that, it is full of too many unpredictable factors, and no one can predict the future. Even Liu Mo, a traverser, has repeatedly encountered setbacks in this world.
For the generals must be flexible on the battlefield, what will happen tomorrow's battle, wait and see!
~~~
The next morning, Ming Gui set off with his troops and the five thousand elite soldiers selected by Liu Mo.
Looking at the other party's distant back, Liu Mo's heart was mixed.
"General Ming, I owe you a debt of retribution in the next life!"
After that, Liu Mo led the rest of the troops to ambush the troops on the way up Tianfeng Mountain.
If the enemy sends scouts up the mountain to reconnoitre, be sure to let them come and go.
After arranging everything, Liu Mo led several important generals up the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can faintly see the battle situation at the foot of the mountain.
The main force of the enemy army and arrived, on the distant horizon, the sound of hooves roared, and it was the enemy's cavalry ranks, at a cursory glance there were at least seventy or eighty thousand.
Behind the cavalry, there were countless phalanxes of infantry.
The thunderous footsteps of the army as they march are terrifying.
"That's the main force of the enemy, and the entire strength of the Hu clan is also there!" Zhu Min said.
Standing on the top of the mountain, everyone felt the pressure on their faces.
Until then, perhaps they were still struggling with whether it was a wrong decision to give up their master. But after seeing the main force of the enemy, everyone supported Liu Mo's decision-making in their hearts.
To go to the rescue is to find death!
There was no time to rest, and the enemy attacked directly.
The Hu Clan's wolf warrior troops attacked head-on, and the Great Prince's troops were divided into two teams and slashed diagonally from both wings.
The enemy's idea was very simple, relying on the superiority of troops to cut off the connection between the troops of the Six Princes.
For a time, the drums at the foot of the mountain sounded in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The sound of bows and arrows leaving the strings and the blood-stained smoke rolled up in the phalanxes of both sides, and a fierce battle began.
"Will the levee burst now?" Zhu Min asked.
Liu Mo shook his head, "It's not time yet!" ”
The enemy sent only the vanguard troops, and the main force was ten miles away, and if the embankment broke now, it would give the enemy's main force time to escape.
With the strength of Liu Mo's current hands, he is definitely not the opponent of the enemy's main force.
Today, they can only stand on the top of the hill and observe the changes in the battlefield.
The wolf warrior troops who rushed to the forefront quickly tore through the defense line of the six princes, but the six princes obviously had a plan to deal with it.
They calmly directed the troops at the forefront to retreat, retreating behind the trenches that had been built overnight.
After that, all the troops hid behind the trenches, borrowed fortifications, and attacked with bows and arrows, spears.
This countermeasure worked, and soon nearly a thousand corpses lay in front of the trench.
At this time, the generals of the Hu tribe quickly responded, and they asked the eldest prince to send a tall infantry corps. The soldiers, each shouldering sandbags filled with sand, had only one task: to fill the trench in front of the plane.
Whether it was filled with sandbags or corpses is unknown.
Immediately behind the troop corps were the ace troops under the Grand Prince, who carried shields in one hand, swords in the other, and five javelins on their backs.
This unit can be said to be the strongest infantry corps in Great Xia, when they fight, they use javelins from afar, knives in close combat, come like the wind, go like lightning, and their movements are extremely flexible.
Except that they don't know how to fight on horseback, they are almost perfect.
In one-on-one hand-to-hand combat, these soldiers are completely superior to any unit.
Soon, the Grand Prince's troops filled the trench with flesh and blood, and the enemy troops broke through the line by stepping on the filling made of corpses and sandbags.
About an hour later, the Wolf Warrior Force crossed the destroyed fence, meaning that the defense line created by the prince was completely defeated.
In desperation, the troops of the Six Princes could only abandon their frontline positions and retreat all the way back.
And in this way, the connection between the main forces of the two wings and the two wings was completely cut off.
Until now, Liu Mo finally mastered all the enemy's hole cards.
The total number of troops brought by the Great Prince is about 200,000, and the 15 armies of the Hu clan, plus the traitors who defected to the battle, now the total number of troops attacking the Sixth Prince is about 400,000.
The enemy forces, who were absolutely superior in numbers, did not rush to continue the offensive after destroying the first line of defense, but chose to suspend the offensive.
The army of 400,000 men formed five neat phalanxes, and demonstrations were also an effective means of demoralizing the enemy.
The main forces are all attacking, Liu Mo thought to himself.
"Is it time?" Zhu Min asked again.
"Nope!" Liu Mo replied very succinctly, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.
He took a sip of the spirits, and as the spicy, bitter liquid flowed through his throat and into his stomach, he began to understand why the generals of history loved to drink.
The taste of war is like wine, spicy and bitter.
Time passed little by little, and everyone's mood became anxious a little bit.
A burst of bugles began to be heard at the foot of the mountain, which meant that the second wave of enemy attacks began.
Liu Mo stood up, held his breath, and carefully observed the battlefield.
Soon after.
"Zhu Min, go and inform the troops near Shuiti, pass on my order, and in a quarter of an hour, do it!" Liu Mo said loudly.
"Yes!"
Everyone held their breath and watched what was happening at the foot of the mountain.
A quarter of an hour is not long, but the people who are waiting feel like a thousand years have passed.
"Long, long, long!"
There was a loud sound that shook the sky, and it was the roar of nature.
The man-made Flood is coming!
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
The sound of trees falling from the flood was incessant, and there was a faint mixture of the screams of countless people in terror.
One after another, like a muffled thunderstorm, the flood was rapidly rushing towards the two warring sides at the foot of the mountain.
"It's finally here!" Zhu Min couldn't help but shout.
With a loud bang, the battlefield was immediately flooded.
Liu Mo and everyone looked from afar, the flood at the foot of the mountain was surging, and the rolling waves made a giant dragon surging, as if it was about to swallow everyone on both sides into the dragon's mouth.
In a short time, the foot of the mountain was completely flooded, and the trees, the dwarf, the rocks, and the soldiers on both sides all disappeared without a trace, leaving only some floating objects floating on the water, telling the living what had happened here.
"It's all over!" Liu Mo sighed.
