Chapter 55: Surprising Victory
It was already ten o'clock at night, Mu Hua was standing in front of the topographic map, but he had been worried about the reinforcements in his heart, and the emperor turned a deaf ear to the love letter he sent. His fist slammed into the table, and now he could conclude that Mu Chun must be making trouble.
"This group of villains!" Mu Hua gritted his teeth and spit out a few words, they just wanted to kill themselves in order to get their own glory and wealth, but they never cared about the life or death of the people.
Shi Lingyan was awakened by Mu Hua's movement, she opened her eyes a little vigilantly, realizing that she was already in Mu Hua's military camp, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she walked to Mu Hua's side, and Mu Hua restrained her emotions, "You woke up." ”
"Why did you withdraw your troops?" Shi Lingyan asked with some doubts, she could also see that Mu Hua seemed to be very distressed now, Mu Hua sighed, he didn't plan to hide Shi Lingyan from this matter, so he told the reason.
"These beasts, do they completely disregard the safety of the people, and the emperor, he ......" Shi Lingyan did not continue, but she could already feel Mu Hua's powerlessness at this time, more than 100,000 lives were delivered to him, such a pressure, is not something ordinary people can bear, for a moment, she actually sympathized with Mu Hua.
While the two were talking, there were hurried footsteps outside, "The general is not good, there is a team of Tianshu troops that have already attacked, and it is only more than ten miles away from us." ”
At this time, the sky had begun to light up slightly, and the Tianshu Army actually attacked at this time, Mu Hua's face sank: "How many people are coming?"
"I can't see clearly, there are about 10,000 infantry. The guard's words gave Mu Hua a rough idea in his heart, since the Tianshu people could make such a decision, then they were definitely more than 10,000 soldiers.
It's too late to withdraw now, but if it is a head-on confrontation, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to the Yaoguang army, so Mu Hua hurriedly ordered: "Let the deputy general lead his army to retreat, and I will personally bring 10,000 troops and horses to meet the enemy." The generals hurried to receive their orders.
Mu Hua looked at Shi Lingyan, "You can go with them too...... but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Lingyan, "If we blindly withdraw our troops, it will only make the other party more arrogant, so it is better to let them know our strength this time." ”
Looking at Mu Hua's puzzled look, Shi Lingyan smiled and said: "The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, what is the meaning of always going straight, you let the sergeants retreat ten miles back, but don't take away the camp tent, let the Tianshu people think that we are still in a dream, this Tianshu people are arrogant, they will definitely enter the barracks, at this time we will attack them with fire and burn them to a piece of armor."
Mu Hua seriously thought about Shi Lingyan's method, it was not impossible, so that he could save most of their troops, "Okay, just use your method." Mu Hua commanded, and now he can only win by surprise.
In half an hour, most of the army had quietly withdrawn from the barracks, leaving only a small part of the Heavenly Pivot who was responsible for supervising the whereabouts of the Heavenly Pivot Army, and each soldier had the distribution of oil threads wound around the wooden posts of his camp when he withdrew.
The Tianshu Army saw the Yaoguang Army's military camp from a distance, "Those Yaoguang people are still sleeping. The leader of the general smiled: "Let's go, let's kill them without leaving a piece of armor." After saying that, everyone shouted and ran towards the barracks.
They slashed around the barracks, but never saw a single one. "Returning to the general, this barracks seems to be empty. ”
The soldiers came to report it. At this time, the general suddenly realized that this was a trap set by Mu Hua, and he hurriedly shouted back, "Quickly retreat, there is fraud here." But at this time, more than 10,000 soldiers had already scattered all over the barracks, slashing everywhere, and the entire barracks was in chaos, and no one heard his instructions.
Suddenly, on the mountain not far away, hundreds of firelights lit up, and everyone raised their eyes to see, and these firelights became bigger and bigger, and the Tianshu Army realized at this time that these firelights were huge fireballs, which were being thrown at them, and everyone immediately dodged in chaos.
The fireball landed on the ground, quickly igniting the oil line on the ground, and the oil line ignited the wooden pillar and then burned the camp tent, and in an instant the entire military camp turned into a sea of fire, everyone shouted and ran, but what followed was a bigger fire.
The firelight in the distance was reflected on the faces of Mu Hua and Shi Lingyan, the two of them watched all this quietly, behind them were the soldiers who had already withdrawn, and the soldiers were excited, and they kept applauding, and they all sighed at Mu Hua's plan.
The fire did not stop until the morning, and the soldiers went to investigate the situation, "Report to the general, the ground is full of the corpses of the Heavenly Pivot Army." ”
This time, it didn't take a single soldier to wipe out more than 10,000 people in the Tianshu Army, Mu Hua looked at Shi Lingyan: "I didn't expect you to have this trick." At this moment, he admired this woman a little,
"What is this. Other people's praise made her a little fluttering, not to mention that this person is still Mu Hua, but Shi Lingyan was a little confused, she was obviously here to deliver a message and want her dowry back, how could she become a military advisor here now.
"It's just ......" Mu Hua became anxious again, "I'm afraid that now that the Tianshu people already know about this, their revenge will be sooner or later, and now the troops are not enough to feed and grass......"
"It's better to write again and ask the emperor to send reinforcements. Shi Lingyan was very disdainful of the emperor in his heart, "Does this emperor not even care about the life and death of his own people?"
Now it can only be like this, Mu Hua hurriedly took a letter and sent the guards back to the court overnight, hoping that the emperor would change his mind when he saw the good news.
The next morning, the good news had already been transmitted to Kyoto, the emperor looked at the letter that came with the good news, and threw the letter aside a little impatiently, "Is it difficult for the 100,000 elite soldiers of my dignified Yaoguang Kingdom to deal with a group of rabble in the Tianshu Kingdom? Now that he has only fought a few battles, he keeps sending letters to support, this Mu Hua, I think he is simply too self-conscious!"
"But the emperor, we don't know the situation on the border, if the king of Guangping really needs support, wouldn't it be ......" Commander Liu's voice was interrupted by the emperor, "Then according to the commander's opinion, should I send all my troops to support him?"
The emperor's attitude has been very obvious, Commander Liu naturally will not disobey the emperor, he hurriedly said, "The minister didn't mean this, but the king of Guangping has written several times, if the court still doesn't give some explanations, I'm afraid that he will have different intentions, and I don't know." ”
The emperor instantly realized, and then sneered, "The commander is reasonable. Then he ordered to go to the study to give Mu Hua a decree.
At this time, in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Mu Chun couldn't help laughing, "Father will not hand over his troops to Mu Hua anymore, just wait for the last fight of the Tianshu Army, I will see how he Mu Hua will win more with less at that time." ”
After a while, a middle-aged man was brought to Mu Chun, and he hurriedly knelt down and said with a flattering face, "The villain is the cook of logistics in the army, and this time he went to the border with the father-in-law who announced the decree." ”
"Good. Before Mu Chun's words fell, the subordinate had already served two plates of gold ingots, and the cook's eyes had already lit up, "If you can secretly sabotage Mu Hua's march this time and make them lose to the Tianshu army, this prince will reward you with all these." ”
The cook hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, "The villain must live up to his mission." ”
