Meng Zhiyuan, the third prince of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, who was disguised as the city lord of Green Moon City, 'Yue Ping Peak', led more than 30,000 troops and easily occupied the abandoned Blue Moon City, and he was not surprised at all by such a result, and even exceeded his expectations.

The Art of War: "Soldiers are fast." But this time, the third prince Meng Zhiyuan did not follow this method, because he knew in his heart that the army guarding the palace of the July Kingdom was the most elite army in the entire July Kingdom, although the number was not large, but with the 30,000 troops in his hands, it was not easy to attack the palace. What's more, he also has to divide a part of the army to protect the cities that have been occupied, and prevent the red, orange, and yellow cities that have not been attacked by him from sending troops to take away the gains he has already made, so that he will be under siege and can only wait for his father Emperor Meng Tan to lead the army to capture the July Kingdom and rescue him. The highest honor of occupying the July Kingdom will be lost to him.

Because of such concerns in his heart, the third prince Meng Zhiyuan chose to stay here for two days after occupying Qingyue City, and it was estimated that the army led by his father Emperor Meng Tan was about to approach Purple Moon City, so he ordered the army to march towards the next target, Blue Moon City. What he didn't expect was that it was his decision that left Wang Yan and them plenty of time to prepare. A deadly trap awaited him and the thirty thousand troops he led.

A good plan is not something that can be achieved by just moving your mouth. After the method proposed by Wang Yan was approved by Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, several people began to formulate detailed implementation rules around the map.

"Lord of the city, if we want to lure the rebels across the river, it is necessary for us to leave a lot of useless equipment on the official road. Then let the wounded soldiers sit along the way, pretending to be us fleeing in a hurry, throwing away their armor, so as to confuse the rebels and make them have the mentality of underestimating the enemy. Wang Yan began to speculate about the mentality of the rebels, leaving bait so that the rebels would definitely relax their vigilance.

Go on. "Qingyue City Lord Yue Liangqi didn't expect Wang Yan to be so thoughtful, and he secretly admired it in his heart.

"The army sent to block the river, after completing the mission, hid in place. With three cannon shots as an order. Burst the levee to release water and attack from the left flank of the rebels. At the same time, another army was sent to cross the river from the lower reaches of the Ruyue River, and also launched an attack from the right flank of the rebels with three cannon shots. After the rebels were swept away by the river. The remaining soldiers must have been terrified. In this way, if the left and right sides are attacked at the same time, they will be in disarray. At that time, it will be the best time for us to destroy the rebels, and the remaining army will give the rebels a head-on blow, and the battle will be a great victory. Wang Yan laid out all the plans in his heart in one breath, and at the same time pointed out on the map the hidden positions of the armies outflanking the rebels on the left and right flanks. These two positions are very important, they cannot be close so that they can be easily detected by the rebels, and they cannot be far away, so that the artillery signal cannot be heard, and it is impossible to attack at the best moment.

"The plan is very good, but Wang Yan, we only have less than 3,000 people, with such a small army, you have to divide it into three, and the rebels are not stupid, you can judge our number at a glance, you are gambling with the lives of the soldiers. After listening to Wang Yan's plan to divide his troops to attack the rebels, Adjutant General Shang Hong did not agree.

"There are not many soldiers, but the most important thing is fine. If the officers and men are united and share the same hatred for the enemy, they will be able to explode with amazing combat effectiveness. I believe that our soldiers must be holding back their anger in their chests at this moment, and the helplessness of their relatives to flee their homes, and the shame of abandoning the city, all of which we cannot tolerate. As long as it is properly guided and turned into a motivation to kill the enemy, the soldiers will surely become warriors who are ten of them, and the rebels will not be afraid. Wang Yan said confidently.

"That's just your idea, in my opinion, the way to block the river and eliminate the rebels is feasible, and then we will adopt a safe method, just stay by the river and confront the rebels, after the rebels have suffered losses, they will definitely not dare to attack rashly. We will be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive and destroy the rebels together. Adjutant General Shang Hong said his idea.

"That makes sense," Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, felt good after listening to the method of the deputy general Shang Hong. The method of steady and steady fighting reflects the experience of deputy general Shang Hong in leading troops.

"Lord of the City, are you sure we still have time to wait for reinforcements, as soon as the rebels come to their senses from the shock of defeat, they will surely force their way across the river. Are you sure that you can lead your soldiers to resist the remaining rebels? Moreover, if the rebels also use the method of dividing their troops to cross the river, how will you deal with it?" Wang Yan pointed out the consequences that the method of adjutant general Shang Hong did not take into account.

"This ......" Qingyue City Lord Yue Liangqi was a little in a dilemma, he had never led troops, and it was difficult to make a choice at the moment.

"My lord, there is only one chance, so you can't hesitate. Wang Yan reminded again that hesitation will inevitably bring disaster.

"Even if your method works, who should be sent to command the other two armies?" The deputy general Shang Hong pointed out the loopholes in Wang Yan's plan, and now he is the only officer who can lead the troops, and the other two armies have no one to command, so they can only be scattered.

"We can do that. Zhou Shan and Dong Yun stepped forward.

"You are women, and leading soldiers to fight is not child's play. Adjutant General Shang Hong scoffed, fighting is a man's patent, and women should go home to see their children.

"You are not qualified to be ridiculed. Zhou Shan and Dong Yun did not flinch at all, although they are daughters, but in the face of the crisis, they also have heroic feelings of protecting their families and defending the country.

"Then how do you solve the problem of so many soldiers crossing the river at the same time?" The deputy general, Shang Hong, did not argue with Zhou Shan and Dong Yun, he felt that he would surrender his identity, and continued to look for the shortcomings in Wang Yan's plan.

"Chop down trees and tie up wooden rafts, and cross the river quickly. The panicked rebels will certainly not be able to stop it. Wang Yan calmly faced the question of the deputy general Shang Hong, and he already knew this problem.

"The soldiers are divided into three ways, and they are fighting with the rebels, and how to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. "Adjutant General Shang Hong is an officer after all, and he has considered all possible situations thoroughly.

"It's not difficult, let our soldiers, tie the red ribbon around their necks. Not only can you recognize your teammates at a glance, but it also prevents the ribbon from being lost in the heat of battle, resulting in accidental injury. Wang Yan dealt with them one by one, and this problem still couldn't stop him.

"Red ribbons. You said it nicely, where are we going to find so many red ribbons now?" The deputy general Shang Hong was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Yanxin's idea, the soldiers were wearing armor, how could there be that kind of red ribbon that only women would use.

"Isn't there a ready-made one here? Wang Yan pointed to the tent with his hand unhurriedly: "This tent is red, torn into strips, enough for all the soldiers to have one." ”

"Nonsense! The tent is for the lord of the castle to rest. Tear up the tent, where will the city lord rest?" The deputy general Shang Hong was even more unacceptable to Wang Yan's practice of beating the idea to the tent, which was disrespectful to the city lord.

"Is it the soldiers' lives that matter, or the tents?" the general knows better than I do. "What Wang Yan said, to the point. Which is more important. Weigh it yourself.

"......" adjutant general Shang Hong was speechless. I had to look at the city lord Yue Liangqi.

"The tent is gone, and it can still be bought. The lives of the soldiers are hard to change. Tearing up the tent saves the lives of the soldiers, and it's worth it. As for me, I can eat and sleep with the soldiers. Stick together in good times and bad. And as it should be. "Moon Liangqi, the lord of Qingyue City, cares about the plight of the soldiers. Far more than caring about yourself.

"Then what if you can't defeat the rebels in the end? Don't you want to leave a way back?" The deputy general Shang Hong was still unwilling, facing 30,000 rebels, his heart was timid.

"Fight against the water. Never retreat! Blood stains the earth, smiling proudly on the battlefield! A breath remains, and it is difficult for the rebels to walk! Throw away your head to defend your home and defend the country! General Shang, I have never thought of retreating, and I ask you to tell all the soldiers that there is no way out!" Wang Yan's sonorous and powerful words cut off everyone's illusions. The big husband will never steal his life!

Wang Yan's bold words show the heart of serving the country. As the city lord of Qingyue City, I should take the lead. Deputy General Shang Hong listened to the order!" Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, was infected by Wang Yan's indomitable momentum, and no longer hesitated.

"The last general!" Vice Admiral Shang Hong hurriedly agreed.

"You lead a thousand soldiers to the upper reaches of the Ruyue River and block the river. After that, he crossed the river and hidden, heard three cannon shots, immediately broke the embankment and released the water, and quickly attacked from the left flank of the rebels, there must be no mistake!"

"Obey!" Vice General Shang Hong took the order and retreated aside.

"Wang Yan, Zhou Shan, Dong Yun listen to the order!" Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, then issued an order to Wang Yan and the others.

"City Lord, please speak. Wang Yan's expressions were serious, this was the moment to test them.

"The three of you led a thousand soldiers to the lower reaches of the Ruyue River to hide, and launched an attack on the rebels from the right flank with the sound of artillery as an order. "The second order came from the mouth of Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City.

"Obey!" Zhou Shan and Dong Yun immediately agreed.

"City Lord, leave the attack on the right flank to Zhou Shan and Dong Yun. I stayed behind to fight alongside the Lords and face the most powerful rebels in front of them. "Wang Yan knew that Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, was facing great pressure from the rebels in front of him, so he made such a decision.

"Can they do it?" said Moon Liangqi, the city lord of Blue Moon City, with suspicion.

"Please rest assured, Lord of the City!" Zhou Shan and Dong Yun's answers were neat and unquestionable.

"Grab the token and go to the ambush. "The city lord of Qingyue City, Yue Liang Qi, knew that there was no need to suspect people, and that there was no doubt about employing people, and seeing that Zhou Shan and Dong Yun were so confident, he handed over the token of commanding the army to them.

"Action!" Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, tied the red ribbon made of the tent around his neck and gave the most reluctant order.

When Meng Zhiyuan, the third prince dressed as the city lord of Green Moon City 'Yueping Peak', led the army to the Ruyue River, looking at the demolished stone bridge, he was stunned at first, and then laughed: "With this Ruyue River, it is really ridiculous to want to block my progress. Herald, bridge!"

"My lord, the river is not deep, we can cross the river, that will save a lot of time. After the soldiers who built the bridge went down to the Ruyue River, they found that the river was extremely shallow and immediately reported it.

"My lord, there are a lot of wounded soldiers on the other side, presumably the city lord of Qingyue City has not fled far, we must be able to capture him if we cross the river quickly. "The confidant officer of the third prince Meng Zhiyuan reported what he had observed to the third prince Meng Zhiyuan.

"It's been two days, and Yue Liangqi hasn't escaped yet?" the third prince was a little unconvinced.

"My lord, this must be after Yue Liangqi demolished the stone bridge and ambushed on the other side. The intention was to launch an attack while our army was building a bridge to prevent our army from crossing the river. The henchman officer guessed. In fact, he guessed correctly, this was exactly what Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, originally thought, but Wang Yan's arrival changed all this.

"Then he just can't do it, hahaha......" The third prince Meng Zhiyuan laughed wildly: "Pass my order, give up building a bridge, cross the river quickly, and capture Yue Liangqi." Anyone who catches the enemy on the other side of the river will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and whoever catches the moon will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels!"

"Yes!" the soldiers immediately scrambled to jump into the Ruyue River, dripping knee-high across the river. There is a reward for catching soldiers on the other side, and the rebel soldiers are not willing to give up this opportunity to drop money from the sky.

Looking at the dense rebels in the Ruyue River, Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, was extremely nervous, and wanted to order the cannon several times, but was stopped by Wang Yan.

"If you don't fire any more artillery, the rebels will come ashore. "Qingyue City City Lord Yue Liangqi really can't help it.

"It is to let the vanguard of the rebels come ashore, so that more rebels can be lured into the river, and the effect of breaking the embankment and releasing water is better. As for the rebels who came ashore, let's take their swords!" Wang Yan calmly watched as more and more rebel soldiers entered the river.

"Kill. The rebel soldiers, who were the first to cross the Ruyue River, raised their swords and shouted, rushing towards the wounded soldiers who were scattered in the distance.

Suddenly, the roar of three cannons resounded through the heavens and the earth. Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows fell, and the rebels who came ashore fell like wheat in an instant.

"Hurry up and help. "The follow-up rebels continued to come ashore and fought with the soldiers led by Wang Yan and Yue Liangqi, the lord of Qingyue City.

It didn't take long for a large number of rebels who were still in the river to hear the rumbling sound of flowing water, and as far as they could see, they saw the rushing water of the Ruyue River, carrying an unstoppable momentum, tumbling, roaring, and rapidly surging from upstream.

"Run!" the rebel soldier in the water panicked, only hating himself for not growing a few more legs.

But it was too late, the raging river swallowed everything in the river in an instant, and the hundred-meter-wide Ruyue River was covered with the corpses of rebel soldiers.

"This is impossible!?" The third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, couldn't believe what he saw at all, just a moment, nearly 10,000 soldiers passing by the river were killed, he couldn't accept this fact.

Not only the third prince Meng Zhiyuan couldn't accept it, but the rest of the rebel soldiers also couldn't accept it, and they were all stunned and stupid by the scene in front of them, and they were all at a loss.

"Rush, kill!" shouted from the left and right flanks at the same time, and the dust obscured the true face of the attacking army, making it difficult for the rebels to tell how many troops were attacking them.

"We are surrounded, flee for our lives!" the spirit of the rebel soldier finally broke down, gave up resistance, and began to retreat.

The army that rushed from both flanks was like two steel knives, stabbing into the ranks of the rebels and killing them wantonly.

Wang Yan and Yue Liangqi, the lord of Qingyue City, also led the army to arrive on a raft and joined the ranks of the strangled rebels. All of a sudden, the rebel soldiers threw away their armor and threw themselves into disarray, unable to resist in the face of three armies that were attacking them. (To be continued......)
