Volume 10 Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Qingyu smiled, but it was a bitter smile. Others might not dare to conceal military intelligence, but Ji Wei could definitely do it. Read the full text. This man relied on his past as a staff member of the king and his friendship with the king. Since he entered the court as an official, he has been arrogant and lawless, and has ignored the traditional dignitaries of the Mo Kingdom. Shao Fang favored him. In just a few years, he was promoted to the first rank, and his title reached the marquis, and he was in charge of all affairs of the eight counties of Ningnan.

But Qingyu knew that Ji Wei was not very capable, but he was ambitious. If he really fought against the Feng Army, he would probably deceive his superiors and hide the truth and refuse to report.

With the reports from the Feng Army spies one after another, Qingyu was now basically able to confirm that the Sanshui Army led by Liang Qi was indeed the one coming from the west.

Qingyu had heard of the Sanshui Army. It was an elite army second only to the Pingyuan Army in Feng State. Although its combat power might not be as strong as the Pingyuan Army, its commander Liang Qi was known as a genius. He was very good at using troops and was very good at strategy.

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly said to Shi Hanyu: "General Shi, you should lead all the Tianwei Army to stop the Sanshui Army immediately. No matter what, you can't let the Sanshui Army get close to Suyue and join forces with the Feng Army in the city. This is not only related to the success or failure of our army in this battle, but also to the success or failure of this battle of Mofeng. General Shi, this battle depends on you." As he spoke, Qingyu bowed to Shi Hanyu on horseback.

Shi Hanyu was startled, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and said: "General, please kill me! I will go all out and live up to the trust of the general!" After speaking, he got on the horse again.

Qingyu instructed: "The Sanshui Army is the elite of the Feng Army. General Hanyu must be careful and not be careless!"

Shi Hanyu cheered up and clasped his fists confidently and said: "General, don't worry. From ancient times to now, cavalry has never been defeated by infantry!" As he spoke, he bowed to Qingyu again and led 150,000 cavalry to the Sanshui Army coming from the west.

The Mo Kingdom's intelligence was not wrong. The Feng Army that came was the Sanshui Army. Qingyu and Shi Hanyu's estimation was also completely correct. The Sanshui Army did indeed penetrate Mo's Ningdi and broke into Mo Kingdom from Ningdi.

The Tianwei Army led by Shi Hanyu soon ran into the oncoming Sanshui Army. The Sanshui Army had already formed a neat battle formation and was ready to fight, waiting for the Mo cavalry to rush up.

Shi Hanyu first observed the terrain. This was a plain area, which was suitable for cavalry charge. The Sanshui Army was still lining up in front of him, which was simply courting death. Once he charged, these 100,000 so-called Feng Army elites would be no different from 100,000 wooden stakes.

He sneered, drew his sword, swung it forward, and shouted: "All troops charge, penetrate the enemy formation, and capture the enemy leader!"

"Kill——"

With Shi Hanyu's order, the Mo cavalry began to advance.

The cavalry's formation spacing was originally longer than that of the infantry, and there were 150,000 of them. From a distance, the entire square formation was so huge that it could be described as swallowing the world. In comparison, the Feng Army camp on the opposite side looked pitiful.

The battle formation of the Mo cavalry first ran slowly, and after a hundred feet, it turned into a full-scale charge. The rumbling sound of the horse hooves was earth-shaking, shaking people's chests, and the dust that rolled up covered the sky and the sun, as if a sandstorm was blowing up. There was no need to fight, just looking at the momentum of the cavalry corps charging was enough to overwhelm any opponent.

The Sanshui Army was able to keep its composure and watched the large-scale cavalry corps rushing in. The whole army did not move at all, without any intention of dodging or retreating, and even did not set up a shield formation. When the cavalry entered the shooting range, the orders in the Feng Army rang continuously.

"Arrow!" "All troops, arrow——"

"Release the arrow——"

Buzz! The arrow formation of the Sanshui Army was no less than that of the Feilong Army, which was good at arrow shooting. The angry arrow formation was like a huge black cloth, and the dense arrows whistled into the Mo cavalry camp. In just a moment, the Mo cavalry formation was filled with shouts and neighs, and thousands of Mo soldiers and horses fell to the ground after being shot by arrows.

This was just the beginning, and then the Sanshui Army launched the second and third rounds of volleys. Each round of arrow formation of the Sanshui Army caused great damage to the Mo cavalry, but the speed of the Mo cavalry did not slow down, but rushed faster and faster, and the short-range breakthrough ability of the Mo horses was fully demonstrated.

In front of the Mo cavalry, the Sanshui Army's arrows only completed three rounds, and the opponent was almost in front of them. At this time, the Sanshui Army's camp command sounded again, and the soldiers in front put away their bows and arrows as quickly as possible, turned around and retreated.

Seeing that the soldiers in front of the Feng Army had no intention of resisting and ran back, the Mo cavalry smiled, thinking that the Sanshui Army was something great, but it turned out to be just like this. The two sides were scared to death before they even came into contact.

But the joy on their faces did not last long. As the soldiers in front of the Sanshui Army all retreated, the rows of chevaux de frise hidden in the crowd immediately appeared.

Two wooden stakes were sharpened and tied together in a cross shape to form a group. Several groups of chevaux de frise were placed on the ground. The spikes of the wooden stakes were raised from the bottom to the top, which could hit the chest and abdomen of the warhorse and cause fatal injuries. At that time, chevaux de frise was the best weapon to deal with cavalry, and it could also be called the natural enemy of cavalry.

The Mo cavalry were not well prepared. They were caught off guard and saw rows of barricades in front of them. Their faces changed drastically. But it was too late for them to slow down their horses. Even if they reined in their horses, they would be killed by the cavalry running up from behind.

The muffled sound of "thump, thump" continued in their ears. Countless war horses hit the barricades straight. The impact of the war horses became inertia at this time. The force was so great that it not only penetrated the horses, but also the knights on the horses. The wooden thorns on the horses penetrated their waists or buttocks and they screamed and fell off their horses.

The cavalry in front was blocked, but the cavalry behind was still charging. They couldn't stop even if they wanted to. For a while, the Mo cavalry collided and trampled on each other, and the casualties they caused to themselves were not few.

While the Mo cavalry formation was in chaos, the Sanshui army hiding behind the barricades began to shoot arrows again. The soldiers in front used crossbows to shoot the Mo soldiers and horses in front of them, and the soldiers behind used hard bows to shoot the Mo cavalry at a distance.

When the Mo army finally moved the barricades and opened the passage, the soldiers in front of the Sanshui army retreated again, and the open space left was also filled with rows of new barricades to block the Mo cavalry.

With the barricades in front, the Mo cavalry could not charge at all, and once the cavalry could not charge, the advantage of the cavalry was greatly reduced, leaving only the advantage of being high above, but this was nothing in front of the Sanshui army.

The situation on the battlefield surprised Shi Hanyu. He never dreamed that there were so many barricades hidden in the array of the Sanshui army. He had never encountered such a cunning and treacherous opponent, and there was really no good solution for a while.

Just when his attack was blocked, something happened in Moying again. It turned out that a Feng army suddenly came from behind Moying. This Feng army was under the banner of "Sky Eagle", and the general in charge was none other than Ziying.

In order to capture Suyue, Qingyu dispatched almost all the available soldiers in the barracks, and the barracks were empty. With the sudden arrival of the Sky Eagle Army, the few Mo army left in the barracks could not resist at all, and were broken through by the Sky Eagle Army in an instant.

The situation on the battlefield was changing so fast. The previous second, the Mo army still had an absolute advantage and was waiting for Suyue to be broken, but the next second, the Three Waters Army and the Sky Eagle Army of Fengguo suddenly arrived, and the Mo army's advantage was instantly wiped out, and it became completely passive.

The Mo army had the Three Waters Army to the west and the Sky Eagle Army to the rear. They were attacked from both sides and the situation was precarious.

The Fengjun in Suyue City were not blind. They were high up and could see clearly. The Fengjun, who were almost in despair, suddenly saw the flags of "Sanshui" and "Tianying". It was like they were given a shot of stimulant. No matter how these two legions came, they had now formed a double-team against the Mo army, and they had gone from passive to active.

Tang Yin was also surprised and happy about the sudden change in front of him. He was so excited that he jumped up and laughed to the Fengjun around him: "Good, good, good! Sanshui Army and Tianying Army came at the right time! God really helps me!"

The Fengjuns were excited, but they were also secretly wondering in their hearts, weren't Sanshui Army and Tianying Army in Ningdi? Why did they suddenly run to Mo Country? It was really inexplicable, could it be that they flew over? !

Of course, Sanshui Army and Tianying Army did not have wings on their backs. They broke through by force. The two armies fought in Ningdi and won victory after victory, constantly defeating the Mo army. Since the war began, they have steadily taken down three counties in Ningdi occupied by Mo.

With such a huge advantage, Liang Qi and Ziying both believed that the occupation of Ningdi in Mo was just around the corner.

But at this time, a war report came from Mo. The central army of Mo suddenly retreated and defeated the king in Sishui. The king had led the remnants to retreat to Anqiu County.

This news surprised Liang Qi and Ziying. They sat down and analyzed it carefully, and immediately judged that their advantage in Mo had been completely lost.

Although Pingyuan Army and Huwei Army were also in Mo, they were dragged to Zeping County and could not save the king.

At this time, Liang Qi decisively proposed to give up the advantages and achievements he had made in Ningdi and immediately went to Mo to help the king.

After all, the battle between Feng and Mo is still in Mo. If the enemy loses in Mo, even if the advantage and achievements in Ningdi are great, they will become meaningless.

In theory, Ziying agrees with Liang Qi's view, but in practice, he feels very embarrassed. After all, to go to Mo from Ningdi, he must first return to Fengdi and then take a detour to Mo. In this way, the time wasted on the road alone is no less than several months, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

Liang Qi also took this into account. He proposed a bold and risky strategy to force his way through Mo's Ningdi and directly enter the territory of Mo from Mo's Ningdi.
