Volume 10 Chapter 127

Mo's Central Army stationed in Bailin was ambushed by four regiments of the Pingyuan Army led by Jiang Fan. In this battle, Mo's army was completely defeated. Most of its 80,000 troops were lost, and the remaining soldiers also fled. They dispersed, and in the end, only two generals and more than 800 sergeants of Mo were left beside Lu Hongming.TXT download.

After the battle, Lu Hongming seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant. He fled back to Bailin in a hurry with the hundreds of defeated soldiers. He didn't stop for a moment when he arrived at Bailin. Although there were still 20,000 Mo troops here, they were far behind the number of Feng troops. He felt that once the Feng troops attacked, it would be difficult for him to hold on. Rather than sit back and wait for death, it was better to evacuate.

After Lu Hongming returned to Bailin, he ordered the entire army to pack up their weapons and supplies, then led his army out of the city, abandoned the city and fled south to join Huben's army.

Soon, the news of Lu Hongming's defeat also spread to Yangchuan. After hearing this, Li Rong's expression suddenly changed. Sure enough, the Feng army's strong attack on Guoguo was indeed a feint attack. Its purpose was to attract reinforcements from the armies of Yangchuan and Bailin. They were so good. Ambush halfway. Fortunately, he had taken extra precautions and was not at the fault of Zhong Zhongjun.

However, as soon as Lu Hongming withdrew, it meant that a large hole had been opened in the Mo country's border defense. The Feng army could pass through Bailin and move southward into the hinterland of the Mo country. Now Li Rong only had two choices left, either to stick to Yangchuan, or to follow Lu Hongming's example, abandon the city and go south to join the Huben army and plan a counterattack.

After some careful consideration, Li Rong finally decided to stay in Yangchuan. Even if the Feng Army broke through his own defense line and broke into the hinterland of the Mo Kingdom, he had to keep the Feng Army's rear quiet, at least to disrupt the Feng Army's logistics. Create as many favorable conditions as possible for the Huben Army's operations.

Li Rong's strategic thinking was very correct, but he underestimated Feng State's determination to fight Mo State this time. The Feng Army entering Mo State was far more than just the Pingyuan Army, followed closely by The Feng Kingdom Flying Dragon Army headed by Zuo Shuang.

Jiang Fan successfully ambushed Bailin's army, and its leader, Lu Hongming, abandoned the city and fled. This news shocked Xiao Muqing, who immediately sent a message to Jiang Fan to occupy Bailin quickly so that his side could have a solid stronghold first. As for the Yangchuan side, Li Rong was not fooled, and Xiao Muqing did not intend to attack by force. He recruited Wu Guang's troops who were ambushing between Yangchuan and Xiashui, and then joined forces to attack Xiashui.

Under the continuous attacks of Pingyuan Army's trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, the city defense of Xiashui Town has long been scarred. Many sections of the city wall were riddled with holes and were crumbling. Now tens of thousands of Pingyuan Army launched a strong attack. The defenders in the city No longer able to support it.

The Feng army pushed a large number of rams onto the battlefield, specifically targeting the severely damaged areas of the city wall. Not long after the battle between the two sides, a section of the city wall in Xiashui Town was forcibly rammed down by the rams, and a section of three or four meters wide was torn open. Gap.

The Feng troops outside the city moved away their chariots, swarmed in along the gap, and fought their way into the city. With the city wall as a barrier, the local army that entered the water could barely withstand the wind army. Now that the wind army has entered the city, how can the local army be able to withstand it?

The generals of the Mo army also wanted to organize manpower to block the gap, but before the Mo army could get closer, they were cut down to the ground by the Feng army that rushed over. Wu Guang took the lead and stood at the front. He waved the spiritual sword and released the spiritual chaos wind continuously. Mo Jun fell down in front of him piece by piece, leaving the broken limbs and arms crushed by the spiritual blade scattered all over the ground.

A general of the Mo army saw Wu Guang's bravery and wanted to stop him. However, before Wu Guang could even survive three rounds, Wu Guang slashed his waist with a knife and was chopped into two pieces.

The local army's combat effectiveness was not strong to begin with, but at this time they encountered the extremely ferocious Pingyuan Army and collapsed instantly. A large number of local troops had no fighting spirit. Those who were killed cried for their fathers and mothers, and ran into the city rolling and crawling. The Pingyuan Army led by Wu Guang followed and chased them, and the siege battle also turned into a street battle.

In front of the Pingyuan Army, the 50,000 local army had no power to fight back. As soon as the North City was broken, the defenders ran into the city. By the time the Pingyuan Army pursued them into the city, the local army had already fled to the south city. When the Pingyuan Army pursued them, When they arrived at Nancheng, the local army had abandoned the city and fled outside the city.

After this battle, many Pingyuan Army officers did not even see the enemy's face. They felt that the enemy was always pointing at them from the back of their heads, which made people laugh and cry.

Although Hu Xian was not an excellent general and was very timid and afraid of death, he did not dare to run south after breaking the city. Instead, he went west and fled to Yangchuan to join Li Rong.

In his opinion, there is a possibility of recapturing the water by escaping to Yangchuan, and he also has a chance to make amends for his past mistakes. However, if he escapes south, there is no hope at all. Even if he can escape the pursuit of the Feng Army, he may not be able to escape the king. Heavy penalties.

Hu Xian fled to Yangchuan with more than 30,000 local army remnants and joined Li Rong's troops. Xiao Muqing did not pursue him or lead his troops to attack Yangchuan. Instead, he chose to continue south and go deep into the hinterland of Mo State. Send back home the good news of the Pingyuan Army Company's attack on the water in Moguo and Bailin. The Pingyuan Army did not station itself in Xiashui and continued to move south into the hinterland of the Mo Kingdom. This allowed Li Rong to see an opportunity. If he could take the opportunity to recapture Xiashui and Bailin, he would have locked the Pingyuan Army inside the Mo Kingdom. You can only let yourself be slaughtered.

But when he thought about it again, he felt that something was wrong. Xiao Muqing, the commander of the Pingyuan Army, was not a mediocre commander. Didn't he understand that Bailin would leave an opportunity for his opponent to cut off his retreat if he abandoned his defense? Is there any fraud involved?

Li Rong was a suspicious person by nature, and he had learned from past mistakes. Although he was aware of the appearance of fighter planes, he still dared not send troops.

On the other side, the Feng Army was also very puzzled by Xiao Muqing's decision. Although it didn't take much effort to capture Xiashui and Bailin, it couldn't just leave a few thousand brothers to garrison it? After all, Yangchuan has not yet been captured by our own side. What if the Mo army in Yangchuan takes this opportunity to attack in a large scale? It's a small thing to launch the water and Bailin to fall, but it's a big thing to be trapped with one hundred thousand troops.

Wu Guang and Jiang Fan also didn't understand Xiao Muqing's thoughts, and they asked Xiao Muqing about this when they went south with the army. The latter smiled confidently and said: "Although I don't know much about the Yangchuan general Li Rong, through the battle in the water, I can see that this person is cautious and has a suspicious temperament. Even if our army is in the water and Bai Shui, Lin didn't leave any soldiers behind, and he didn't dare to attack lightly."

After listening to his words, Wu Guang and Jiang Fan secretly took a breath. The former frowned and asked: "What if Li Rong sends troops to attack, won't our army be attacked from both sides and be in a desperate situation?"

Xiao Muqing shook her head confidently and vowed: "He will never do it."

"But what if?"

Xiao Muqing's eyes flickered and she sighed: "If Li Rong is really stupid enough to send troops to attack Xiashui or Bailin, our army will no longer have to worry about its future."

What kind of bullshit is this? Wu Guang and Jiang Fan were a little dumbfounded when they heard this. They couldn't understand what Xiao Muqing was thinking, and even wondered if his head was broken. Xiashui and Bailin were their retreat, and there were only a few thousand people stationed there. Why did Li Rongruo attack? But we don’t have anything to worry about anymore?

Even generals like Wu Guang and Jiang Fan couldn't understand Xiao Muqing's thoughts, and Mo Jun, headed by Li Rong, couldn't understand it even more.

Li Rongneng could keep his composure and turned a blind eye to Xiashui and Bailin, who were close at hand and almost became an empty city. He refused to send troops. However, Hu Xian, who had escaped, could not wait any longer. Feng's army did not stay behind Xiashui and passed directly through the city. What a rare opportunity it is. If you don’t take this opportunity to take back the water, then how long will you wait?

After hearing the news that Feng Jun's army was moving south, Hu Xian immediately went to Li Rong and asked him to send troops to recapture Xiashui. Li Rong shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "Inappropriate, inappropriate! Feng Jun's behavior is strange, I'm afraid there is a scam in it!"

Hu Xian was so anxious that he poked his hand repeatedly and said urgently: "General Li, the spies have found out clearly that the main force of the Feng Army is indeed going south, and there are less than 3,000 defenders left in the water. General Li, as long as we send troops, It’s easy to recapture Xiashui Town and trap Feng’s army within our borders…”

Before he finished speaking, Li Rong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has General Hu forgotten General Lu's lessons learned?"

"this……"

"If you hadn't claimed that the launch of the water was urgent and sent people continuously to urge for reinforcements, how could General Lu have been ambushed by the Chinese army? Now that you are here to urge troops again, I will never respond to you!" Li Rong said decisively.

Hu Xian's face turned red after being talked about by Li Rong. He hesitated for a long time before stammering: "But...but the situation now is different from that then..."

"In my opinion, there is no difference. The Feng Army's actions were unexpected and uncharacteristic. If there is no fraud in it, it can only show that the commander of the Feng Army is a fool who does not know how to fight! Do you dare to believe that the commander of the Pingyuan Army does not know how to fight? Yes? Is he a fool?"

Under Li Rong's barrage of questioning, Hu Xian was speechless and ran out of words.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Muqing dared to leave his rear to Mo Jun was simply because he had something to rely on. What he relies on is the flying dragon army of 150,000 people.

As a support to the Pingyuan Army, the Feilong Army will also head to Mo Country in the short term. Yangchuan left by the Pingyuan Army will be the Feilong Army's primary attack target after entering Mo.

If Li Rong defends Yangchuan, it will not be easy for the Feilong Army to forcefully break the city. If Li Rong divides his troops to occupy Xiashui and Bailin and cannot concentrate his forces, then the Feilong Army can easily defeat them one by one. Because of this, Xiao Muqingcai concluded that if Li Rongzhen sent troops to capture Shuihe Bailin, he would be seeking death, and the Pingyuan Army would no longer have to worry about anything.

It can be said that Xiao Muqing, as the commander-in-chief of an army, has already understood the battle situation, and his own actions and the enemy's actions are all part of his calculations.

His eagerness to go south was not to induce Li Rong to divide his troops, but because he was concerned about the concentration of Mo's army.

As the saying goes, soldiers are more valuable than speed. If the Pingyuan Army wants to achieve brilliant results in the Mo Kingdom, it must annihilate them one by one before a large number of Mo troops gather. Once the military strength of the Mo Kingdom is formed, it will not be easy for the Pingyuan Army to defeat the enemy. What's more, he is still thinking about it. With the Tigers and Guards of Mo State.
