Volume 10 Chapter 456

Chapter 456

Xiao Muqing and Qingyu coincidentally used Sun Bing and Xu Yan to take the lead in attracting the attention of the Mo Kingdom Navy, and then they secretly sneaked into Linzhuang again.

They used a trick to attract Gao Hang to Linzhuang, but it turned out that the smuggling was fake, and the sneak attack on the Zhenjiang Navy camp was real, which caused the Mo army to suffer a big loss and also allowed the Feng army to successfully board the south bank of Zhenjiang.

As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. The second time was a fake sneak crossing, but this time it was a real sneak crossing. It was fake and real. It was hard to guard against, and it would definitely exceed Mo Jun's expectations.

This strategy was not something Xiao Muqing came up with on the spur of the moment. He had such a strategy in mind when he pretended to sneak into Linzhuang for the first time, but he never mentioned it to others.

After the Feng Army successfully attacked the Zhenjiang Navy Camp, all the Fengyu Allied Forces that were originally transferred to the other side of Linzhuang withdrew to the base camp. Only the main force of the Pingyuan Army under Xiao Muqing did not move. They continued to hide on the other side of Linzhuang and were still secretly building weapons. raft.

Others may not have noticed, but Qingyu noticed it carefully. After careful consideration of Pingyuan Army's actions, he could guess what Xiao Muqing had in mind.

At this time, Qingyu no longer had any worries and asked bluntly: "Our army's rafts suffered a lot of losses during the last sneak crossing to Linzhuang. Can they still be used for this sneak crossing?"

Xiao Muqing smiled confidently and said: "I have ordered the soldiers to hurry up and build them. I dare not say if there are more. By tomorrow night, there should be two thousand rafts available."

Qingyu nodded. Although two thousand rafts were not too many, they should be enough to transport the Pingyuan Army. He asked: "Is General Xiao planning to act alone this time?"

Xiao Muqing said helplessly: "Mo Jun has many informants on the north bank. If we launch a large-scale operation, we will definitely not be able to hide it from Mo Jun's informants. Instead of letting the whole army take risks, it is better for our Pingyuan Army to do it alone."

Qingyu nodded again, feeling that Xiao Muqing's concerns were quite right. He asked with a smile: "If you count me as one, what do you think General Xiao will do?"

After a pause, he added: "Although the Feiyu Army I brought this time only has 20,000 brothers, if we really want to fight, it will not hold back General Xiao."

One more person means more strength, not to mention the Feiyu Army commanded by Qingyu! Xiao Muqing smiled and said: "It would be great if General Qingyu helps me."

Among the many commanders of the Feng Kingdom, apart from Liang Qi and Ziying, I am afraid that the only one who can really take notice of Xiao Muqing is Qingyu.

Qingyu was also very happy to receive Xiao Muqing's approval and said, "Okay, you and I are committed."

"Although there are few brothers in the Feiyu Army, General Qingyu must not be careless. He must go out of the camp secretly and avoid the eyes of others." Xiao Muqing reminded uneasily.

"I understand, General Xiao, don't worry." Qingyu nodded in agreement with a smile.

Seeing the bright smile on Qing Yu's face, even Xiao Muqing was a little stunned. He was startled for a moment and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. A man who looks so beautiful is really guilty...

On the other side, Mo Jun.

Not long after General Li Jin withdrew his troops, people sent by Shao Fang arrived, Tingwei Tian Zhong, and Taifu Zhang Rong with them.

Shao Fang had not originally planned to send Zhang Rong over, but the latter took the initiative to ask for help. As the battle ahead was unfavorable, Shao Fang was quite dissatisfied, so he agreed to let Zhang Rong come over to supervise the battle.

Tian Zhong came with Shao Fang's orders. After seeing Li Jin, he asked Li Jin why he was timid and why he suddenly stopped attacking.

Tingwei is the official in charge of punishments. As the executioner of a country, Tian Zhong usually has a strong temperament and is taciturn. He never smiles to anyone and has a serious face.

Although Li Jin's rank is higher than Tian Zhong's, he is still very afraid of him. At this time, he was left speechless by Tian Zhong's questioning. Just when he was thinking about what kind of words to respond, the latter took out Shao Fang's decree and read it out on the spot, asking Li Jin to launch an attack immediately, and it must be tomorrow morning. Previously, the Zhenjiang Naval Camp was recaptured at any cost.

After reading out Shao Fang's decree, Tian Zhong walked away, leaving Li Jin dumbfounded. If he could defeat it, he would have commanded the army to recapture the Zhenjiang Navy Camp, but the key is that he cannot defeat it! Two hundred thousand soldiers attacked for a whole afternoon, but they could not even step into the camp. Instead, they lost more than 30,000 soldiers. Now the strength of the troops is far less than 200,000, and the soldiers are also exhausted. If we attack the Zhenjiang Navy Camp again, we have to defeat it before tomorrow morning. Is that possible? Your Majesty, aren't you going to kill yourself?

Li Jin was stunned on the spot and couldn't recover for a long time. The generals below looked at each other, their brows furrowed and worried. Li Jin did not show confidence in this battle, and the direct consequence was that the generals also lacked fighting spirit. Shao Fang's current decree will only cause people's helplessness and dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Zhang Rong, who had not left, rolled his eyes. He waved to the generals, indicating that they should all leave first.

Zhang Rong was a Taifu, a first-class official. Even if he was not in charge of the army, the generals did not dare to offend him. People bowed their hands and bowed, and filed out of the camp.

After everyone left, Zhang Rong walked up to Li Jin and asked in a low voice: "General, the king has issued an order for the general to attack the enemy immediately. Why are you still standing here now?"

Li Jin finally came to his senses. He looked at Zhang Rong with strange eyes and said coldly: "What? Mr. Zhang was sent by the king to supervise the army and monitor me?"

Zhang Rong smiled and said, "You and I have been serving under the same roof for nearly 20 years. How can you not know what kind of person I am? Don't say that I was not sent by the king to monitor the general. Even if I was, if the general made any mistakes, could I still secretly go to the king to complain?"

Hearing what he said, Li Jin felt relieved. He laughed awkwardly, patted his head, shook his head and said, "I am really confused now."

Zhang Rong pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is there anything difficult for the general?"

Li Jin smiled bitterly and said, "It is easy to lose but difficult to regain! How can it be so easy to take down the Zhenjiang Navy Camp now? There are no less than 100,000 Feng troops inside, and our soldiers are less than 200,000. What's more, the Zhenjiang Navy Camp is the gateway to the capital and is built very solidly. If we insist on attacking with only the current number of troops, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out!"

Zhang Rong also took a breath of cold air after hearing this. It turned out that the Feng Army had so many troops crossing the river. He asked, "What is the general going to do? Disobeying orders is a capital crime and will cost you your head!"

"Alas!" Li Jin sighed and said, "I have no choice now. If I obey the king's order, the lives of all the soldiers in the army will be in jeopardy. If I don't obey the king's order, I will be disobeying the king's order. Lord Zhang, what do you think I should do?"

There is a way. Zhang Rong muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He shrugged and said, "The general has no idea now, so how can I think of any good plan. However, the king's order cannot be disobeyed. Even if the general doesn't want to attack, it is still necessary to pretend."

Li Jin pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Lord Zhang reminded me very well! I... will lead the army to fight now!"

Because of Shao Fang's order, even if Li Jin didn't want to fight this battle, he had to bite the bullet and fight in the end.

He didn't want to fight, and the Feng army on the opposite side didn't want to fight even more. The Feng army finally waited for the Mo army to retreat, but the soldiers just sat down to take a breath, and before they could even get warm, the second round of Mo army's attack came again.

The soldiers of the Baizhan army could only force themselves to go to the wall again and defend to the death.

People thought that it would be another life-and-death battle, but surprisingly, the Mo army's attack was thunderous but little rain, the drums were beating loudly, the shouts of the soldiers were stronger than the waves, but the battle formation was slow to move forward.

Not knowing what the Mo army was up to, Nie Ze, who was so experienced, was also confused at this time. He walked close to Tang Yin, looked out, and frowned and said, "My lord, the Mo army's behavior is a bit abnormal!"

Tang Yin didn't know more than Nie Ze. He squinted his eyes and muttered, "Mysterious! God knows what they are doing!"

Nie Ze pondered for a moment, turned back and called a general to go to the rear camp immediately to see if the enemy was going to attack from behind the camp again.

It can't be blamed on Nie Ze for being suspicious. The Mo army was making a lot of noise in front of the camp, which was indeed suspected of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. To be cautious, Nie Ze sent his trusted generals to the rear camp to check.

Tang Yin nodded secretly. Nie Ze was worthy of being a talented general. He was cautious in everything and had considered everything. It was not easy for the enemy to take advantage of him.

Soon, the generals sent out returned with the news that the situation behind the camp was calm, no enemy ships were seen, and no enemy sneak attacks were launched behind the camp.

After hearing this, Nie Ze burst into laughter and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I have overestimated Li Jin's brain."

The Feng army did not raise the military flag, only the national flag. Li Jin did not know which army of Feng country they were, but the Mo army raised the flag of the general, so there was no need to check, and its commander must be Li Jin.

However, they were already close to the capital of Mo country, and at such a critical moment, the Mo army led by Li Jin pretended to attack like a child's play, which was too incredible and too difficult to understand.

Tang Yin and Nie Ze could not figure out what Li Jin was doing, but the other party did not come to attack and was willing to give them time to rest, which was a good thing after all, and the Feng army was also happy to relax.

There was no talk during the day. The Mo army deployed troops in front of the Zhenjiang Navy camp for an entire afternoon, but did not launch a decent offensive. When it was night, the Mo army withdrew its troops as expected, and the battlefield returned to complete silence.

In the second half of the night, the Feng Kingdom Navy began to move. Now the situation faced by Sun Bing, Xu Yan and Li Jin was similar. They all did not want to fight, but they all received the order from their respective kings and had to fight.
