Text Chapter 134: Night Attack Around the Enemy
Looking at the rebels retreating like a tide, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Wuxie's mouth. After this battle, the Ming side lost nearly 10,000 people, which was extremely heavy. The losses of the Ningwang rebels were even heavier, with more than 30,000 dead and wounded, and almost all the corpses of the rebels were all over the mountains outside the city.
He put away his longbow and glanced in the direction of Maba Chiba. Seeing a long white dress coming into view, the graceful Mayu Chiba was looking at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with an incomparably evil aura.
Although the two were far apart, both of them were martial artists with advanced cultivation, so Zhenyu Chiba saw Xiao Wuxian's expression clearly in his eyes. I couldn't help but feel for a while, it was this evil smile that had a fatal attraction to any woman.
At this time, under the leadership of Ao Wuchang and Tie Le, Soul Chasing and Soul Eater had also reached the merger of the city and Yu Ziqian's army. In this battle, no less than 10,000 enemy troops died in the hands of soul chasers and soul eaters. With a huge casualty ratio of 500 people to 1 to 20, he dealt a heavy blow to the rebels.
In the hands of soul chasers and soul devourers, all of them are killed with one hit, and there is no possibility of survival at all. As long as you are entangled in chasing souls and devouring souls, it is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate, and there are no deaths or injuries.
Xiao Wuxian grimaced at Mayu Chiba, and suddenly jumped down the hill. Mawa Hideyoshi was beside Mawa Chiba, watching the interaction between the two in his eyes, with a clear look in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and turned back to the camp.
All the Ming soldiers were extremely excited to see the arrival of soul chasing and devouring spirits, and the city and the city were thunderous. It can be said that the arrival of these people saved them, and if it weren't for their appearance at the crisis juncture, the city gate would have been breached.
There are not many people who know Ao Wuchang and Tie Le, but Tian Heng and Guo Xie are real soldiers, so there are not a few who know them. Knowing that they were Xiao Tianhe's personal soldier Feiyunwei, countless people cast awe-inspiring glances.
In everyone's cognition, Feiyunwei was the strongest army under Xiao Tianhe, and his prestige in the army was extremely high. But even so, this is only within the scope of their cognition, which is stronger than the average elite troops, even Zhu Yujun thinks so.
But after seeing Feiyunwei's terrifying combat power today, everyone was shocked. With a force of 500 men, he killed 10,000 enemies in less than an hour, and did not lose a single man. With such a powerful combat power, you can't find such an army on the entire continent.
Both the soldiers in the city and under the city saw Feiyunwei's eyes with incomparable respect at this time, and Feiyunwei, who had already felt superior to others, had carried forward his arrogant personality since he followed Xiao Wuxie. One by one, they held their heads high, and their expressions were awe-inspiring, as if there was an outstanding and unruly atmosphere.
However, no one was unhappy with Feiyunwei's feelings, and the military was the most admired by the strong. Now all the members of Feiyunwei are strong in their eyes, and if they are their idols, they only have awe and worship for them.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wuxian had already come to the city from the hillside, and Yu Ziqian, Zhu Youjiao, and Hua Liuliu were all extremely excited when they looked at Xiao Wuxie, who was full of energy. He did not disappoint them, rushed back at the most critical moment, and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy in one fell swoop.
Hua Liuliu took the lead and ran to Xiao Wuxie's side, Xiao Wuxian opened his arms and was about to meet the other party's bear hug. As a result, he slammed his shoulders and slapped him hard, "You girl, why did you come back, you came back one step late, and Lao Tzu will burp!"
Hua Liuliu said angrily, where did Xiao Wuxian think that what was greeted with enthusiasm was not an embrace, but a fist, which was really depressing. Lao Tzu saved your life, okay, it's too hateful to be ungrateful in the blink of an eye.
Pointing at Hua Liuliu's nose and scolding, "You girl, you still talk about me." It's not that Lao Tzu came quickly, your kid's life is gone, and you still blame me for being unreasonable?"
"When has this kid ever been reasonable" Yu Ziqian's words floated leisurely behind him, and Zhu Youzhu nodded sympathetically.
Hua Liuliu was also ready to scold Xiao Wuxian in one go, but in a blink of an eye, he was betrayed by the brother who was still living and dying together just now. So Hua Liuliu unceremoniously shook two contemptuous glances to the two.
The four of them grew up together, although the current Xiao Wuxian is a bit unworthy of his name. But that feeling is still there, so as soon as we meet, we cheer each other up.
However, the atmosphere at the scene was a little weird, it stands to reason that both Feiyunwei and Xiao Wuxian were subjects of the Ming Empire, and when they saw Zhu Yujun, they wanted to kneel and salute, but neither Xiao Wuxian nor Feiyunwei had any intention of kneeling and saluting.
Needless to say, Arrogant and Tie Le are naturally people of martial arts. It is also ranked eight, enjoys a very high status in the martial arts, and it is understandable that he has an unruly personality. However, the behavior of Xiao Wuxie, Fei Yunwei and others has already committed the crime of defrauding the king.
But no one cares about this now, these people's lives can be said to have been saved by Xiao Wuxie. They have just experienced a big war, and the blood in their bodies is still boiling, where will they pay attention to these red tapes.
Even Emperor Shenzong didn't notice at this time that he was ready to commit suicide and martyrdom after the city was broken. It was Xiao Wuxian who turned the battle of defeat into victory, to put it bluntly, his life was saved by Xiao Wuxie, and more than once.
How capable Xiao Wuxian was, the mighty officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know it. But Yu Ziqian and the others knew that they could come back alive under the pursuit of the entire killer world, and there were a few people who could do it if they looked at the entire continent.
Today's battle wiped out tens of thousands of enemies, although many people lost their sons, brothers, and husbands. But the victory of the war still blew this grief a little, and the whole capital thundered with joy, celebrating the victory of the war.
Emperor Shenzong greatly rewarded the soldiers of the defenders, and even praised Ziqian and Xiao Wuxian and others. Originally, Yu Ziqian wanted to hand over the supreme military command to Xiao Wuxie, but Xiao Wuxian was ominously rejected by Xiao Wuxian in exchange for generals.
In fact, this is also an excuse, Xiao Wuxian knows that he will leave the Yuanwu Continent one day, and everything here has nothing to do with him anymore. Now is the opportunity for Zhu Youzhu and Yu Ziqian to make contributions, and he naturally wants to leave this opportunity to the two of them.
And his personality is really not suitable to be a marshal of the army, his personality is to do everything. As long as you can defeat the enemy, you will use any negative tactics. And the war is incomparably cruel, and I don't know how many people will die in this war.
Even if the war was won in the end, the people of the present generation are grateful for their merits. But after the world is calmed down, those imperial histories will also turn this matter over, saying that they are cold-blooded and ruthless, killing too many enemies, and violating the way of heaven. He didn't want Yu Ziqian and Zhu Youzhu to bear too much, so he still left these sins of killing the enemy to himself, so that his brother could maintain a positive image.
However, although Xiao Wuxian did not become the supreme military commander in name, he had the right to participate in decision-making. And whether it is Yu Ziqian or Zhu Youjiao, they all look forward to him, and the rest of the people have nothing to say.
Although the Ming side won a complete victory in today's battle, there were not a few losses among the generals. The defenders of Deshengmen were almost half lost, and many were wounded, and now there are fewer than 10,000 soldiers who can participate in the battle.
On the contrary, although Zhu Yuzhen's army suffered heavy losses today, these 40,000 people did not hurt him at all. He still has nearly 600,000 troops in his hands, plus the 500,000 soldiers of the ghost country are eyeing him, and he is still completely victorious over the Ming side.
In any case, today's battle has boosted Daming's momentum, while Zhu Yuzhen's side is demoralized. To a certain extent, the morale of the army was shaken, and Zhu Yuzhen, the king of Ning, was even more angry at this time, and he was furious.
Today, not only did he lose his troops and lose his military prestige, but he also couldn't raise his head in front of Mayu Chiba. All the way to here, he actually let 20,000 people defeat his 100,000 army, which is really too big a loss of face.
What made him angry was not only this thing, his grain and grass camp was almost completely burned. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the three armies go first before moving grain and grass, and grain and grass are the fundamental guarantee of war, and without grain and grass, their hundreds of thousands of troops have only a dead end.
It stands to reason that after suffering such a great humiliation, Zhu Yuzhen should be carried away by anger and immediately order a general attack. But this is not the case, King Ning has been ambitious and forbearant for decades, and he is also a person with a lot of power.
Although he lost this battle, in the final analysis, it was because he underestimated the enemy, not to mention that he still had more than 600,000 living forces in his hands, so it was impossible to lose this war no matter what.
After calming down, Zhu Yuzhen began to redeploy his forces. After all, the Ming Dynasty's army was limited in numbers, so this time he was ready to launch an attack on Jiumen at the same time. This was the most effective way to fight sieges, and it was in full bloom, and as soon as one of the gates was opened, his hundreds of thousands of cavalry could rush into the city in the shortest possible time.
The reason why the cavalry is strong in combat is that he is very mobile. In the battle, the cavalry rushed into the enemy formation, constantly probing, as long as a gap was opened, all the cavalry could quickly gather and rush into the enemy formation, disrupting the enemy's formation, the formation was chaotic, and the defeat was not far away.
Everything is ready, and it is ready to launch a general attack on the capital at dawn. However, that night, Xiao Wuxian led the soul chasing and soul devouring to launch a night attack. And it is not entangled at all, rushing into the enemy formation is a burst of indiscriminate slashing and killing, coupled with the two great gods of arrogance and Tieler, it is simply a nightmare for the rebels.
Although they could not completely annihilate the enemy army, the number of people who died at the hands of the two had already exceeded a thousand. And Xiao Wuxian did not entangle with the enemy, and retreated when he attacked secretly, and acted quickly. Before the enemy could even set up his position, he had already slipped away without a trace.
With the cultivation of chasing souls and devouring souls, in front of these ordinary soldiers. That's simply a wolf entering the flock and unilaterally abusing and killing. Xiao Wuxian and Feiyunwei were not idle during this night, they were divided into two groups, constantly attacking and harassing the enemy, and retreating immediately once the enemy counterattacked.
As a result, this night, the rebels in Zhu Yuzhen were living in hell. The next morning, almost a third of the soldiers were covered with dark circles, apparently choked by the toss of the previous night.
