Mu Xiongtian did not choose to let the scouts investigate, but was at the forefront himself, carefully observing the opponent's actions from a supreme point of the second line of defense.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Xiongtian gave the second order, abandon the second line of defense, and all the soldiers withdrew to the suburban strongholds behind the second line of defense, and strictly ordered that no one should talk to each other and discuss the battle situation, and once discovered, they should be punished with battlefield discipline.

Under strict orders, no one dared to talk about the commander's orders.

But this does not mean that no one has no opinions in their hearts, and a general feels that Mu Xiongtian is very unsightly to avoid war like this.

But he couldn't disobey the commander's order, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked one of his henchmen to go to Qin Ning and report the situation on the battlefield to Qin Ning, saying that it was very dangerous, and hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would intervene.

On Qin Ning's side, although he completely delegated power to Mu Xiongtian, he didn't care about the battle situation. Qin Ning has his own set of reconnaissance system, which reports the situation on the battlefield in detail at all times.

Qiu Wenhe couldn't understand Mu Xiongtian's arrangement a little, and said unconsciously worried: "Your Majesty, you see, if the enemy's firepower is too fierce, it is understandable to withdraw to the second line of defense. But it is a bit incomprehensible to retreat from the second-line defensive positions without doing anything. ”

】

Qin Ning thought for a moment and said: "General Mu has his own ideas, after all, he is on the front line, and his grasp of the battlefield should be deeper and farther than what we see." Again, let Mu Xiongtian decide for himself. ”

As soon as the words fell, the guards came to report, saying that there was an urgent battle report ahead.

Qin Ning and Qiu Wenhe looked at each other. I think it's a bit incredible, such a battle report. It can only be reported by Mu Xiongtian, and Mu Xiongtian sent people who are not blocked by the guards. What's going on?

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ning asked the guards to bring people up.

The person who came was an officer, and after bowing down and seeing Qin Ning and Qiu Wenhe, he immediately explained his intention. said that he was instructed by his boss to explain the situation on the battlefield to the emperor, and the commander Mu Xiongtian was passive and afraid of war, and made an incredible strategic adjustment, hoping that the emperor would be able to intervene.

Qin Ning's face changed suddenly. shouted: "Come on, take it for me!"

Two guards came over and held the officer down at once.

Qin Ning roared angrily: "Immediately escort him to Mu Xiongtian and sue him, fight well, and people will take care of me! At this time, someone actually came behind his back to make a small report to me, suing Mu Xiongtian, I am very annoyed, how did he become a commander!"

The guards escorted the officers away. Qiu Wenhe tried to say: "Your Majesty, this is a little inappropriate, isn't it? Sending the person who reported the situation to Mu Xiongtian is not ......"

"Enough!" Qin Ning had a hard time getting angry with Qiu Wenhe, "The battle is not good." I will naturally hold Mu Xiongtian accountable, whether it is to kill his head or remove him. That's all after the battle. But in the process of fighting, no one can have a different mind than the manager. Otherwise. Is this still an army? Will such an army still be combative?"

"But the generals below may be a good intention. Qiu Wenhe still felt that it was a bit excessive.

Qin Ning felt that his attitude was a little bad. He lowered his voice to explain: "Wenhe, Ci is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth." It is possible that this kindness will break the morale of the entire army. Do you think, if I condone this kind of atmosphere, there will still be people who make a small report to the boss, no matter who is the boss, how can this soldier be brought?"

When Qiu Wenhe heard this, he nodded unconsciously and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the overall situation, you have to sacrifice the interests of the individual. ”

In the interval between Qin Ning and Qiu Wenhe's words, the guards had already brought people to Mu Xiongtian, and the guards conveyed Qin Ning's stern rebuke in full.

Mu Xiongtian knelt on the ground, and after three bows, he said: "The minister Mu Xiongtian is ashamed of the grace of the saint, teaching his subordinates in no way, and making His Majesty angry, it is really an unforgivable sin." Please return to Your Majesty, the minister deeply feels the emperor's grace, and will repay him with death. Please rest assured, even if Mu Xiongtian has a breath left, he will drive out all the enemies who come to attack. ”

After sending the guards away, Mu Xiongtian's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked who the main envoy was, without saying a word, he immediately implemented battlefield discipline, cut off two heads, and hung them on a high place to show the public.

At the same time, the Yelan King's army really felt a little proud of the spring breeze.

The 50,000 vanguard troops attacked the outskirts of Lingtu City, but they did not encounter any resistance. The troops that followed stopped near the city walls, and the vehicle-mounted heavy artillery continued to advance, and near the first line of the city walls, the formation was set.

When the battle report arrived at Xirongpo, he couldn't help frowning.

With Xi Rongpo's understanding of the Qin army, he concluded that the Qin army was definitely not afraid and did not react. The commander of Lingtu City is Mu Xiongtian, and Qin Ning is also here, just these two evil stars, no one has suffered a loss, and there is no reaction at all.

But no matter what the situation is, Xirong Po has to make a decision, you can't let the army of hundreds of thousands wait for you to figure it out before acting, right?

After thinking about it for a while, Xi Rongpo ordered the vehicle-mounted heavy artillery to carry out a fire strike in the depth of Lingtu City, and only after clearing the stubborn defensive line could the ground troops follow up.

The current army of the Yelan King is a little optimistic. In the past, they were all beaten by the Qin army, but now they have suppressed the other party, and they really feel like turning into serfs.

The commander's order was in good spirits in all respects, and everything was carried out in accordance with the order.

The vehicle-mounted heavy artillery began a new round of strikes, and the second line of defense of Lingtu City was far worse than the city wall, and after a hundred shells, it had already collapsed.

The vanguard of 50,000 troops shouted in unison, swarmed up, and occupied the second line of defense of Lingtu City.

According to the regular marching practice, at this time, the occupied area should be cleared, and then heavy artillery should be introduced, and the fire coverage should be carried out again, so that the other side will naturally have nothing to do if it advances layer by layer.

However, these ground troops, seeing that tonight's attack was very smooth, and the usual cat-like timidity suddenly swelled into tiger-like ambitions.

It's too brave to fight step by step, like a girl, how can you reflect the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger?

The Qin army seems to be frightened, as long as one charge passes, the Qin army still has to kneel and beg for mercy, raise his hands and surrender?

Sometimes, it's scary to think of your actions as if they were the other person's actions. The 50,000 vanguard troops marched majestically towards the stronghold of Minxiang where Mu Xiongtian was located, and according to their ideas, it should be overwhelming.

Mu Xiongtian saw everything in his eyes and ordered the Qin soldiers to withdraw from their strongholds again and evacuate backwards.

With the shock of two heads, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks about the commander's orders anymore, and they didn't even think about it in their hearts. The boss listened to what he said, and just did what he was told.

Arrogance is sometimes formed slowly and unintentionally, and the 50,000 vanguard troops of the Yelan King, when they first came into contact with the strongholds, were still cautious, and when they saw that all the strongholds were empty, not only did their hearts relax, but they became more and more fluttering. Some people even dream that if they capture the entire Lingtu City, they can rob money and women.

Mu Xiongtian had already made corresponding countermeasures, and after arriving at his ideal position, Mu Xiongtian immediately counted several teams.

Two 1,000-strong rainstorm pear bullet squads, and a 2,000-man mixed squadron of rainstorm pear blossom bombs and hand cannons. The rest were melee troops who followed Mu Xiongtian to act.

After dividing the teams, Mu Xiongtian strictly ordered all teams to enter the designated position, and they must obey orders at every time, and no one is allowed to act without authorization.

When each team entered the designated position, the enemy's 50,000 vanguard troops rushed forward with high spirits.

There was no formation, and there was no evasive action in it, it was like a bunch of ordinary people rushing to the market, and these people rushed into the ambush circle set by Mu Xiongtian.

This is a wide avenue, and from this avenue all the way forward, you can lead to the edge of the hinterland of Lingtu City. Because of this, the roads here are very wide, and there are dense houses on both sides.

In the emergency plan of Lingtu City, once a war breaks out, the residents here and outside the city will be evacuated to the hinterland of the city, so the houses here are empty.

What Mu Xiongtian wanted was the location of this ambush, because the enemy's heavy artillery was unexpectedly fierce, Mu Xiongtian didn't want to carry out artillery attack, that kind of casualties were too large, luring the enemy to go deeper, and then killing with one blow was the most ideal combat method.

Originally, Mu Xiongtian wanted to exchange the outer buildings for the enemy's artillery shells, but he didn't expect the enemy's vanguard to be so arrogant and go deep alone without the cover of artillery fire, which made the battle situation even simpler.

The noisy enemy vanguard did not even clear the houses on both sides, but swaggered along the road.

The vanguard of 50,000 was halfway under the noses of the ambushers in the blink of an eye, and Mu Xiongtian gave the order to attack.

In an instant, the Rainstorm Pear Bullet Squad, which was ambushed on both flanks, took the lead in firing. The rain of bullets like a storm instantly cut off the enemy's vanguard at the waist.

Immediately after that, the squad on the left fired in the direction of the enemy's advance, and the squad on the right fired at the enemy who followed behind.

The tiger-striped black armor raised the armor level of the Yelan King's army to a higher level, but in the face of such a close range of rainstorm pear blossom bullet shooting, it was still impossible to resist, and the warriors of the Yelan King fell like wheat, and in an instant, there were thousands of casualties.

Arrogance is often closely linked to cowardice, and the vanguard that has just been invincible has learned the taste of a long-lost blow, and has immediately turned to the role of the former one-touch collapse.

The troops who were blocked in the back could still run back in chaos, but the troops in front were unlucky, the retreat was an airtight barrage, and the advance was the tiger-wolf-like Qin army.

Mu Xiongtian led the men out of the ambush, a mixed squadron of ground melee infantry and rainstorm pear shells and hand cannons.

Mu Xiongtian took the lead and shouted: "Brothers, follow up, stick to the fleeing enemy, and kill their heavy artillery to Lao Tzu!" (To be continued......)
