Chapter 56: Victory Again
The emperor's edict soon reached the border, looking at this empty letter, Mu Hua's heart suddenly became angry, and he threw the holy decree on the ground, "Just use this kind of thing to fool this king!" Although his behavior was already disrespectful, the eunuch who delivered the decree could only lower his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, but he did not dare to speak.
Mu Hua has already seen through the emperor's psychology, and the emperor is afraid that he will rebel at the border because of his high merits.
He sneered, and said to the eunuch without any concealment, "Presumably you have seen the situation on the border, the Tianshu Kingdom has prepared a million troops to compete with our army, I only have 100,000 soldiers and horses in my hands now, and the food and grass are less than seven days, you go back and tell the emperor, if I am unable to resist the Tianshu army and let them attack the border pass, let him not blame me for my incompetence." After speaking, without waiting for the eunuch to speak, he asked people to send him out of the barracks.
All this was seen by Shi Lingyan, the current situation was already very critical, Shi Lingyan's previous plans were completely disrupted, in the face of this kind of big event, her face was not so thick, and now she could only put her own affairs on hold for the time being.
Now that the future of the Yaoguang army is bleak, "We can't sit still." Shi Lingyan asked tentatively.
Of course, Mu Hua didn't want to sit still, because he had never lost a battle since he led his troops to fight, this time he didn't want the Tianshu people to see a joke, "Yesterday we burned the Tianshu army, compared to now they already know that more troops will attack soon, what good strategy do you have?"
The lieutenants sat aside and kept silent, if there was a good plan, how could everyone let the army fall into such a situation.
"I think we can take advantage of the geography right now. Shi Lingyan's sudden opening surprised everyone, but Mu Hua didn't interrupt him and asked her to continue.
"Where we are now, the terrain is of different heights, we can easily see the Tianshu army, but they still need to climb a few hillsides to see us, since they are all infantry, why don't we dig some trenches, shoot cold arrow traps around the trenches, and when those infantry walk to the trenches, they will be hit by arrows. ”
Everyone looked at Shi Lingyan one after another, they had been marching and fighting for so many years, and they had always been straight, but they had never used such a method, and everyone turned their eyes to Mu Hua again, wanting to see what Mu Hua meant.
Yesterday's burning of the army had already surprised Mu Hua with Shi Lingyan's ability, although no one had ever tried the method proposed by Shi Lingyan this time, but now it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and the right to try it.
"I think it's possible. Mu Hua spoke, "In this case, without further ado, the generals will start acting according to what the princess said." ”
For a while, the whole army acted in unison, half of them went to dig trenches, half of them were arranging hidden arrows, and the people of Tianshu Kingdom would attack them from the west, so all the dark arrows were aimed at the west, and Shi Lingyan personally went to arrange them with the soldiers.
Finally, before sunset, all the dark arrows had been arranged, looking at the fruits of these labors, Shi Lingyan smiled with satisfaction, these things can help Mu Hua overcome temporary difficulties, and can also eliminate some Tianshu Army, it is simply a profitable deal.
When Shi Lingyan was immersed in a sense of satisfaction, he saw a shrunken figure turning back and forth in the trench from a distance, Shi Lingyan could see at a glance that the person was not a soldier, and at this time, except for the soldiers who were on guard, the rest had returned to the camp to eat, how could there be anyone......
I saw that the man was lying on his back, and he looked at it for a long time before leaving, Shi Lingyan did not startle the snake, but he already had a faint worry in his heart.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the spies had already sent back a message, "General, the Tianshu Army has attacked. ”
Mu Hua and Shi Lingyan glanced at each other, and there was also a lot of drumming in the barracks at this time, Shi Lingyan was still a little uneasy, she hurriedly ran out of the camp tent and started the arrangement of the procuratorate with a team of people.
Vice General Luo had already led a team of people to meet the enemy, but when he confronted the Tianshu Army head-on, he found that the army in front of him was just a small team of only a few hundred people, "Sound the east and attack the west!" Vice General Luo instantly understood the other party's tactics, and sure enough, the army of the Tianshu Kingdom had already set off from the north to attack the military camp.
"Quickly let someone go back and report to the general, they are not attacking from the west. Vice Admiral Luo ordered while fighting, an army of only a few hundred people was not worth mentioning, but seeing that the army was about to attack the barracks.
Vice General Luo rode back to the barracks quickly, only to find that the barracks were safe and sound, at this time Mu Hua and Shi Lingyan could already see the fall of the Tianshu army, "The people of this Tianshu country like to sneak attack at night the most, and now they also make them suffer." A sneer appeared on the corner of Mu Hua's mouth.
It's night now, those soldiers can't see the road under their feet clearly, some people were not killed by cold arrows, but fell into the trench and were injured, and suddenly the strength of the Tianshu Army was greatly reduced, it was time, Mu Hua raised his long sword and led three thousand cavalry to attack it, the Tianshu Army, which had suffered heavy casualties, was already vulnerable, and Mu Hua led the troops to annihilate their entire army.
Mu Hua returned triumphantly, and all the soldiers were excited, and they won two battles in a row, and both times they won more with less, at this time, the Yaoguang army had already swept away the previous slump and regrouped.
"Thanks to you this time, but how did you come up with the idea of turning the dark arrow to the north?" Mu Hua asked Shi Lingyan in some surprise, but he didn't expect Shi Lingyan to expect that the Tianshu Army would attack from the north at the last moment.
But unlike Mu Hua's excitement, Shi Lingyan had a solemn face at this time, "Lord Wang, I suspect that there are fine works in the army. ”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Hua was shocked, just a few days ago, he had just killed a hundred people, but he didn't expect ......, "How do you know?" he asked with some doubts.
Shi Lingyan then told Mu Hua what he had seen in the trenches.
"The Tianshu people can only attack from the east and west, I saw that the man didn't want to destroy our dark arrows, just researched, and felt that there were ghosts, in fact, I kept some of the dark arrows that shot westward, but these dark arrows didn't come in handy, so I was more certain. ”
Mu Hua's face sank completely, this time he would not make an example of him, he wanted to see who was so bold and dared to constantly arrange meticulous work in his military camp. Mu Hua suddenly thought about it, "Don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, I have my own way." ”
If tonight's battle is won, then Mu Hua's army will suffer a heavy setback, the cook is a little remorseful at this time, but he still can't understand where he is wrong, the direction of those dark arrows is obviously to the west, but why did they all end up to the north.
At this time, he was a little afraid, this time he let the Tianshu army suffer heavy losses, even if Wuhuangzi would let him go, presumably the Tianshu people would not let him go, thinking of this, he decided to wait for the dawn, and he would set off to escape.
