Chapter 543: A Fight Against the Enemy

"Jing'er, here-" On the side of the camp, the shore of the cage lake is being armed, Tang Zhan seems to have discovered the military situation, and came to report in time, "General Rongwu's fleet has seen it from the side of the cage lake...... Looks like they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses......"

Lu Jing took a deep breath, as if she was thinking about something, she looked at the garrison on the shore of the lake for a while, and then said to Zhao Zijin: "Brother Zijin, how is the situation of your troops now?"

Zhao Zijin shook his head with a slight sigh, and said helplessly: "No way, we only have five hundred people in our hands, and the number of weapons is okay...... Coupled with the weapons that were captured from the Mengyuan army just now, the arrows used in the garrison are about a few thousand, and if the opponent's naval army really forcibly lands, we may not be able to stop it......"

"If the number of people is not enough, you can only bluff and deceive them, and now the primary goal is to save the main force of General Rongwu......" Lu Jing said to herself, "But Yan Jitai Bazar is so scheming and experienced, will he be so easily fooled?"

"Then what should I do now?" Tang Zhan also looked extremely anxious when he heard this.

"I'm thinking about ......" Lu Jing wanted to say something, but the situation around her made her stop abruptly.

"Strategist, I've got it done here!" On Lu Jing's side, Murong Ying, who had just resisted the centurion alone, also came back, and the female general fought bravely to kill the enemy, although she was injured a little, but Murong Ying didn't care at all, she fought all the way to the north and south, and was weathered, she was no longer the pampered eldest lady of Bianliang.

"Miss Murong, you're back-" Tang Zhan saw Murong Ying's "bloody return", and also said with concern.

"What's the matter, did Zhang Yuexing order his men to disarm and surrender?" Lu Jing took advantage of the situation. Hurriedly asked.

"Well, that guy is a coward. The two words of deterrence scared him...... Murong Ying said with a smile, "Don't worry." The enemy forces on our side have been solved, and now the question is how to save the main force of General Rongwu......"

"If that's the case, then let's deter Yan Jitai himself......" Lu Jing seemed to think of something, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly......

On the cage lake, the sound of artillery fire continued, and the Rongwu naval army was defeated all the way and fled, in order to save their own camp at Qiling Pass, they turned back at full speed, and had no time to fight back against the Mengyuan naval army; According to the previous plan, they pursued the Rongwu naval army at the cage lake, and waited until Chewutai and Zhang Yuexing took the rear camp of the Rongwu army, and then they would join forces with the outside and the outside......

A fire had already broken out in the camp of the Eimu's navy, and the way back was full of the wreckage of the Eimu's ships and the corpses of the army floating on the water. Shells after shells came from behind, the sound of artillery fire was accompanied by waves several feet high, the hull of the ship was crumbling, the troops were discouraged, and the army had no time to fight back, and now Rongwu could only pray. At least he can return to shore safely with the remnants......

"Oh no, General—" Just as Rongwu's navy was about to reach the shore of Cage Lake, the guards next to him seemed to have discovered the situation in their camp and came over in time to report. "General, our camp is on fire!"

Because the hull was constantly damaged by artillery fire, the ship shook violently. When he turned all the way back, Rong Wu didn't look up much. Now the guards report on the situation. Rong Wu hurriedly looked up at his camp on the other side of the lake, and it was indeed as he said. His tent had already caught fire - it was the fire that had been lit by Che Wutai and Zhang Yuexing during their sneak attack on the camp.

"It's over, it's all over......" Rong Wu didn't know the situation on the shore yet, thinking that the Meng Yuan army had successfully outflanked and taken the camp where Zhao Zijin was stationed, and couldn't help but despair. The next thing is to wait for the attack of the Mengyuan land and water army, and then all his own army will be buried on this foggy cage lake.

"General, let me lead a thousand warriors and fight with them!" Zhang Xingling was full of courage and asked for his life, "There will not be too many Mengyuan enemy troops outflanking my battalion in the rear, now concentrate on clearing the enemy troops in the rear camp, maybe there is still a chance-"

"There's no way...... Rong Wu clenched his fists in both hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Pass the order, all the departments of the navy are ready to attack the base camp on the lakeshore—"

"The last general obeys the order-" Zhang Xingling had already reported that he would see death as home, and gathered all his energy to prepare for a decisive battle with the Mengyuan soldiers on the shore......

"General, no need-" At this time, another cronie guard hurriedly ran over and said, "General, look, the army deployed on the shore is our people, and the one standing at the front is General Zhao Zijin Zhao!"

"What did you say?" Rong Wu heard this, as if he saw hope, and immediately stood up and said, "Is it true?"

"It's true, right at the lakeshore camp, General Zhao also sent us a flag, signaling us to quickly dock—" The guard continued.

After hearing this, Rong Wu hurriedly got up and ran to the deck, standing at the bow of the boat and looking at the situation on the other side of the lake - sure enough, through the mist in front of him, the direction of his camp on fire, Zhao Zijin had already ordered the remaining troops to be strictly armed, first, to wait for the return of his own naval army, and second, to prepare to fight back against the naval troops pursued by Meng Yuan.

"Quick, order all the troops, speed up to the shore!" " Rong Wu shouted at the top of his voice, now for him, this is the only chance to save the main force of the troops.

As soon as the order was given, Rongwu's fleet immediately set sail and accelerated, heading towards his own camp on the shore of Cage Lake......

On the side of the Mengyuan Water Army's position, the Yanji Tai Division, who thought that they were pursuing according to the original plan, found something wrong.

"Strange, they actually accelerated their return?" Yan Jitai Bazado looked at the defeated Rongwu fleet in front of him, and said with a little doubt.

"What's so strange about this, isn't it just as desperate to escape?" asked a close general next to him.

"No, they should be able to see from this distance that the camp is on fire, if General Chewutai and General Zhang succeed......" Yan Jitai Bazado said to himself.

"Do you mean...... Did the two of them fail?" Li Chengsheng seemed to guess something, and followed up.

"Maybe......" Yan Jijitai seemed to be worried about something, and his eyes suddenly became erratic......

At this time, a spy soldier suddenly ran back, and it seemed that he had something important to report to Yanjitai Bazado.

"What's wrong. Is there any battle situation?" Yan Jitai couldn't help but ask when he saw that there were spies coming along the waterway at this time.

The spy knelt in front of Yan Jitai. Said truthfully: "General Zhang Yuexing came back from being wounded—"

"General Zhang Yuexing?" Yan Jitai said with a frown when he heard this. "Didn't he go to the rear camp with General Chewutai, why did he come back at this time?"

The spy continued: "My lord, General Zhang Yuexing was released by the enemy - their sneak attack on the rear camp of Qiling Pass failed, and 2,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and now General Zhang Yuexing and several defeated soldiers were sent back by the enemy by water, and the enemy generals seem to have sent you a gift......

"Gifts?" Yan Jitai Bazado was puzzled again, there were too many things that he didn't expect now, because he never thought that someone would be able to see through his plan, and he would eat his two thousand soldiers and horses.

"Rongwu is stubborn with his own soldiers. It is impossible to think so deeply and do it so at the right time, I think there must be someone behind to help Rong Wu, and this person must not be simple......" Li Chengsheng said casually behind Yan Jitai.

"Order, bring the defeated general Zhang Yuexing to see me-" Yan Jitai's expression changed accordingly, and he ordered coldly, "Also, order the navy to stop the pursuit, and the whole army is on standby here." Waiting for the order!"

"Yes, sir—" The spy replied, and then stepped back.

In this way, Yanjiji Taibazado temporarily stopped pursuing the remnants of Rongwu's naval army......

On the shore of Cage Lake. Position of the Rongwu Barracks......

Rongwu's navy finally fled desperately and came back, but by the time the navy came ashore, it had already suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the fact that most of the ships were damaged, the number of troops was drastically reduced. However, fortunately, Yan Jitai Bazado did not continue the pursuit. The pride gave the Rongwu army a respite......

After Rong Wu went ashore, he did not immediately relax his vigilance. Instead, he and Zhao Zijin took advantage of the situation to defend the shore of the cage lake and deal with the huge naval army of Yanjitai at any time. Even if the number of Meng Yuan's army was overwhelming, Rong Wu would never be able to swallow this breath, and even if he was defeated, he would have to attack Yan Zhijitai once on the shore of the lake.

On Zhao Zijin's side, he and Rong Wu roughly described the situation in the camp just now, and Rong Wu knew from his own deep dive into the enemy's trap that Lu Jing and others had the foresight, and now he has no face to rely on the so-called "military might" anymore, pointing irresponsible comments to Lu Jing, Tang Zhan and others, but he is willing to listen to the opinions of Lu Jing and others......

"It's good that General Rongwu and the main force return safely, and the previous things will be in the past......" Lu Jing walked up to Rongwu and said calmly, "But from now on, there must be no more mistakes, otherwise Yan Jitai's troops will forcibly land, and we will not be able to stop it at all-"

"Yes, now the morale of the troops is disheartened, and we ......will listen to everything the army division says," Rong Wu had no choice but to calm down and endure at this time.

"If Yanjitai forcibly lands, we will have to withdraw our troops. Now that the number of troops has been sharply reduced, it is easier to retreat from the narrow pass of Qiling Pass......" Tang Zhan looked at the position of the Mengyuan naval army on the opposite side through the burning ships damaged by his own battle, and seemed to be puzzled, "However, it seems that Yanji Jitai Bazaduo did not lead the army to march, and all the naval troops stopped standby, why is this?"

"It seems that my strategy has succeeded in dragging him down," Lu Jing said with a smile......

"What strategy?" Tang Zhan continued to ask.

"I sent Zhang Yuexing back just now, and I gave him a gift...... Lu Jing continued, "I hope to hold him off for the time being, but I'm afraid I won't ......be able to hold him back."

In the midst of anxiety, there was a sudden shock from the rear of the Qilingguan camp......

"Huh?" Tang Zhan, who had always been keen, seemed to notice it, and was the first to mention, "There seems to be some movement in the rear......"

"Really...... Murong Ying also followed, "It seems to be the voice of the army...... Coming from the direction of the Qiling Pass, could it be said that it is ......?"

"Reinforcements?" Lu Jing said overjoyed, "Great, it's our reinforcements coming...... However, we did not give an order or receive an order, whose reinforcements are coming?"

As Tang Zhan Murong Ying said, behind the Qiling Pass, as the sound of horses' hooves became more and more intense, countless torches were practiced together, and they swarmed towards the Qiling Pass - they guessed correctly, it was their own reinforcements coming.

"Flying cavalry Zhao Zichuan killed!" "The general who took the lead, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing are very familiar, every time the sound of a battle and charge, who is it not Zhao Zichuan?

"It's the third brother-" Zhao Zijin heard Zhao Zichuan's voice and said excitedly.

"It's our army, Brother Zichuan is here—" Tang Zhan also shouted happily.

"Zhao Zichuan, this big idiot. Usually headless and brainless, although this time I didn't have a military order to travel. But it came just right......" Lu Jing also snickered bitterly on the side......

The mighty 10,000 elite soldiers accompanied Zhao Zichuan to the rescue of Qiling Pass, not only Zhao Zichuan. Even the two generals on the left and right wings, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei, also came with them. It seems that in this rescue, the vanguard military headquarters of Tang Zhan used all the cavalry.

"Brother-" Murong Ying saw that her brother Murong Fei also came to the rescue, and rushed up excitedly and shouted.

"Sister Sakura - great, it's okay if you're okay......" Murong Fei saw that his sister was safe and sound, and the falling stone in his heart was also stable. However, seeing that Murong Ying was a little injured, he knew that Murong Ying must have used weapons to fight with people here, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Brother Zichuan, how could you send reinforcements over and know that we are trapped here?" Tang Zhan said unexpectedly.

"It's Brother Murong......" Zhao Zichuan saw that there was no war for the time being. simply dismounted and said, "Brother Murong saw that Sister Ying didn't return for a day, and he knew if something had happened...... Later, we thought that Lao Jiuda heard about your whereabouts, and heard from the spies in front of us to report that there was a cannon fire on this side of the cage lake, and it must be a naval battle. We weren't at ease, so we sent 10,000 elite soldiers to the rescue...... Of course, this was not approved by the superiors, and our military department would have to be punished afterwards......"

"But you came in time, even if Yan Jitai forcibly landed and engaged our army. We also have the capital to fight hard with them......" Lu Jing looked back at the shore of the lake and said with a smile, "If the Mengyuan army dares to attack rashly, I won't let them have good fruits to eat......"

"Well, let's strike together. Even if he claims to have 100,000 sailors, we are not afraid!" Tang Zhan also cheered up and said.

Rong Wu saw that the Tang Zhan military department was united, and couldn't help but smile bitterly a few times on the side......

Mengyuan Navy Ship Department......

"Your Excellency. General Zhang Yuexing has been brought!" After the guards escorted the defeated Zhang Yuexing, they reported to Yanjitai Bazaduo.

"Got it. You go down first......" Yan Jitai first ordered the guards, and then looked back at Zhang Yuexing. Slowly walked down the steps, sneered a few words, and then asked in a cold tone, "Why, General Zhang came back alone, not with a few soldiers and horses, but with a gift from the enemy?"

Zhang Yuexing trembled on the side, and he didn't even dare to look at Yan Jitai Bazaar more - he knew that he had suffered a defeat, not only did he not complete the plan, but also buried 2,000 Mengyuan soldiers and horses, and Yan Jitai would not spare him.

"Bring up the gifts!" said one of the generals on the steps.

A soldier presented Lu Jing's gift, and the thing was contained in a delicate brocade box. The brocade box is not big, but it weighs a little.

The soldiers slowly opened the brocade box...... Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning, and all the generals in the place were startled, and some of them almost fell to the ground.

"Knock-" The brocade box was so frightened that it let go and fell to the ground, blood slowly flowed out of it, and the brocade box contained the head of General Chewutai.

Obviously, this "gift" is Lu Jing's deterrence to Yan Jitai Bazado, and it is also a war letter in return. After Yan Jitai found out, the whole person was about to explode.

However, he still held back, looked at Zhang Yuexing coldly, and said in a low voice: "Say, those who help Rongwu's guys are ......."

Zhang Yuexing trembled and described his and General Chewutai's experience of tonight's operation, and then added: "That...... It was a female doll, not very old, and her heart was ...... The scheming is quite deep...... Her name is Lu Jing, and she is a frequent spring ...... The ...... of the Third Vanguard Army from the Left Strategist...... The commander of the vanguard army is Tang Zhan, who is ...... The descendants of the Tang family, the shoulders of the last general, are ...... The Tang family overlord gun gives ......"

Speaking of this, Yan Jitai Baza looked at the injury on Zhang Yuexing's shoulder, and then sneered: "Is there anything else to report?"

"I didn't ...... No more ......," Zhang Yuexing replied tremblingly.

"Hmph......" Yan Jitai sneered a few words, then turned around, slowly walked up the steps, and suddenly said loudly, "Drag it down, cut it!"

"My lord—my lord spares my life!" Zhang Yuexing shouted in panic when he heard this. However, the escort soldiers on both sides were pressed to death, and Zhang Yuexing struggled desperately and couldn't break free.

"Your Excellency—Your Excellency's life...... Adults ......" Zhang Yuexing was dragged all the way away, although he tried his best to shout, but he was useless before he died.

Followed by the sound of a big knife beheading outside the cabin, Zhang Yuexing's head was different......

"My lord, another spy came back to report, over there in the Rongwu camp, there are many troops coming to ......reinforce at the Qiling Pass" Li Chengsheng received the news from another spies, and came back in time to report, "According to the analysis of the spies, it should be the third vanguard army of the left of the enemy's Changyu Spring Department, it seems that our army can't rashly land and pursue tonight......"

"It's the third vanguard army from the left again......" Yan Jitai didn't recover from his anger for a long time, his eyes were hideous with anger for a long time, and then he slowly said coldly, "The vanguard army commander Tang Zhan, the military division Lu Jing...... Looks like we're starting here......"

The situation of the army changed immediately, and Yan Jitai Bazaduo finally gave up the pursuit of the navy army tonight and led the army back to the battalion...... (To be continued......)
