Chapter 598
Wei Zheng's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He didn't care about the military power in his hands, but he didn't want to see Ning Guo's soldiers die in vain. He was silent for a long time, as if he had made a lot of determination, nodded, and said: "Okay! I will mobilize the troops to go north!"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked around the table, as if going out of the tent. But when he passed by the three messengers, he suddenly drew his sword, pointed it at the chests of the three men, and stabbed them three times. As a general, Wei Zheng is not a weak scholar, nor a master of spiritual martial arts, but he is more than enough to deal with ordinary soldiers.
The three messengers never expected that Wei Zheng could suddenly attack them. They stood there without any reaction. When they realized that something was wrong, Wei Zheng's sword had pierced the chests of the three of them. thump! The three of them stared at Wei Zheng in disbelief with their eyes wide open. Their bodies shook repeatedly, and finally they fell to the ground and died.
After killing three people, Wei Zheng picked up his sword, called the guards outside and asked them to drag the bodies out. The guards were a little dumbfounded and didn't understand how Wei Zheng could kill the messenger sent by the general. Wei Zheng made nonsense and said, "These three people are spies of Feng Jun, and they have been executed by me."
The guards were skeptical about his words, but Wei Zheng was now the supreme commander of the camp, and people did not dare to disobey his orders, so they picked up the body and quickly exited the camp.
Changsun Yuanhong's order passed through to Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng still failed to act according to the order and killed three messengers. As a result, tens of thousands of Ning troops still stayed outside Qingyuan City, facing a difficult situation. The eldest son, Sun Yuanhong, sat back and watched.
After waiting for two days and still not seeing the arrival of reinforcements from his side, Changsun Yuanhong understood that there was no need to inquire anymore. This time it must be Wei Zheng who disobeyed the order again. His teeth were itching with hatred, but there was nothing he could do about Wei Zheng. The problem he faced now was not whether he could kill Tang Yin, but whether he could lead his soldiers to break out of Feng Jun's trap.
Changsun Yuanhong also put a lot of effort into how his side could get out of trouble. The Vietnamese army could take a detour to avoid the Feng army in the south, but he could not. After all, the Vietnamese army were all cavalry. Even if the Feng army found out, they would not be able to escape. He couldn't catch up, but his men were all infantrymen and their armor was heavy. It was impossible to escape the Feng army's pursuit.
If you want to break out of the encirclement, you have to charge hard. However, if the Feng army stays in the camp, you will not be able to break out anyway. Only by drawing the enemy troops out of the camp can you have a chance to break out... At this time, Changsun Yuanhong After using his brain, his talent for strategy was brought to its fullest.
That morning, he started to make breakout equipment, and asked the soldiers below to unload all the grain, grass and baggage from the carriages and throw them away in the camp. He vacated all the carriages and modified them, and waited until night , Changsun Yuanhong raised his tent and summoned his generals.
Changsun Yuanhong was injured, and it was difficult to even sit up, so he could only lie on his side on the cave. However, at this time, he had put on his armor, sword and military robe, as if he was going to fight. The generals were all shocked when they saw this. The general was already so seriously injured, why did he go out to fight?
Seeing everyone's thoughts, Changsun Yuanhong sighed deeply and said: "Although our army has trapped Tang Yin now, the canyon is narrow and our army cannot attack for a long time. Now we are trapped by the Feng army, and Wei Zheng has not come to rescue for a long time. , If we delay any longer, our entire army will be in danger."
After hearing this, all the generals were anxious and angry, and shouted: "General, wait until we capture Tang Yin and break out of the siege, then go back and settle the score with the old thief Wei Zheng!"
Slowly waving his hand, Changsun Yuanhong gave a wry smile and said: "We have missed the best opportunity to capture Tang Yin. If we enter the canyon to attack again, it will be difficult to achieve success. Instead, it will attract the full strength of the Feng Army. Now, our army We can only break out from the encirclement. However, there are more than 100,000 Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army from the Feng Kingdom to the south. If our army wants to storm the Feng Camp, it will undoubtedly hit the stone with eggs. Only by drawing the Feng Army out of the camp can I successfully break through. To be sure, this requires someone to stay, pretend to attack the canyon, and lead the wind army out of the camp. I wonder, which general is willing to stay? "
Upon hearing this, the generals looked at each other and lowered their heads. If you stay and pretend to attack the canyon to help the main force of your own army break through, but the main force escapes, what will you do? Staying here is a dead end! No one is not afraid of death, and General Ning is certainly no exception. People took a breath and fell silent.
The big tent suddenly became quiet, and there was no sound. Even if a pin dropped to the ground, you could hear the sound. Seeing that the people were silent for a long time, one of the Ning generals stepped out of the queue, raised his hands to the eldest son Yuanhong and said: "General, I am willing to stay!"
Uh-huh! Everyone's eyes were focused on General Ning who spoke, including Changsun Yuanhong. Seeing this person clearly, Changsun Yuanhong's heart trembled. The person who came out to ask for help was none other than one of Changsun Yuanhong's most caring subordinates, Zhong Shun. Zhong Shun is a general in the western army of Ning State. He has followed Changsun Yuanhong for the longest time. Although his abilities are mediocre, he is loyal and loyal to Changsun Yuanhong. He has always been the person whom Changsun Yuanhong trusts the most. Seeing him come out now, Changsun Yuanhong's eyes suddenly turned hot. He really didn't want Zhongshun to stay, but at this time he took the initiative to ask for help, and he really couldn't choose someone else.
Changsun Yuanhong said quietly: "Zhongshun, do you know that if you stay, you will be surrounded by the wind army in ten cases, unable to advance, unable to retreat..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhong Shun said sternly: "General, please don't worry, even if I am defeated, I will never become a prisoner of the Feng Thief and disgrace me, Daning, and the general!"
Alas! Changsun Yuanhong sighed secretly, and after a long silence, he raised his head and said softly: "In the future, your father will be my father, and your son will be my son. Don't worry about anything at home!"
Zhong Shun heard this, knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said with emotion: "Thank you for your kindness, General!"
Changsun Yuanhong gave Zhong Shun 5,000 elite soldiers as a death squad, and asked him to stay in the camp to attack the canyon, while Changsun Yuanhong himself led the army and ambushed in the south gate of Ningying, so that only Fengjun could attack, so as to rush out in one go.
According to Changsun Yuanhong's instructions, Zhong Shun led 5,000 elite Ningjun to attack Tang Yin and his group in the canyon again.
It was already dark at this time, and the canyon was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The terrible thing was that there were corpses inside, piled up layer by layer. Because of the long time, the corpses had rotted and moldy, and the corpse water flowed out. The ground was sticky and crawling with maggots, and your shoes would stick if you stepped on it.
Entering the canyon, flies were everywhere and the stench was pungent. Some Ning soldiers were unprepared and immediately stumbled back, kneeling on the ground and vomiting. In desperation, people lifted the sweat towels wrapped around their necks, covered their mouths and noses, and walked forward carefully, resisting the discomfort of vomiting.
People couldn't figure out how the Feng army led by Tang Yin survived in such a canyon full of corpses, flies, and maggots.
The canyon was deadly quiet, with piles of corpses one after another. People walked deeper and deeper with fear. No enemies were seen, or rather, no living people were seen. There were only unrecognizable corpses and cliffs stained dark red with blood.
"General Zhong... General, are Tang Yin and Feng Jun... dead in the canyon?" A soldier beside Zhong Shun asked in a trembling voice as he walked.
Who knows! If Tang Yin is really dead, it is God's help to the Great Ning! Zhong Shun shook his head and said, "Stop talking nonsense, keep your eyes on the front, be careful of the enemy suddenly coming out!"
The 5,000 Ning troops led by Zhong Shun had unknowingly approached the end of the canyon, but when they got here, they still didn't see the shadow of Feng Jun, and people's nervous mood turned into joy. It seems that Tang Yin and Feng Jun have been trapped and died in the valley!
But just when people were full of joy and wanted to find Tang Yin's body, they saw two strange green lights suddenly flashing on the last pile of corpses in front. This is too scary. In the canyon where you can't see your hand in front of you and the corpses are piled up like a mountain, there is a green light flashing. People's most primitive and instinctive reaction is-ghost!
There was no screaming. The Ning army was numb on the spot when they saw the green light. They opened their mouths wide and couldn't shout a word. They stared at the two green lights in front of them without blinking. Their bodies trembled violently, and the armor on their bodies rattled.
The brave Ning Jun slowly moved forward, approaching the pile of corpses. When they got close, they looked up with the weak moonlight reflected from outside and vaguely saw a man standing on the top of the pile of corpses, holding a long and narrow sickle in his hand. He could not see his appearance, but only two balls of green light hanging on his face, so weird and so scary.
"Ah--"
Ning Jun finally couldn't help it. He screamed and retreated involuntarily. Soon, people were tripped by the corpses on the ground. They sat on the ground, looking at the broken limbs around them, and screamed even louder: "Ghosts--"
This scream caused a great chaos in the Ning Jun camp. Just when Zhong Shun and his Ning Jun hadn't figured out what was going on, the bloody "corpses" on the ground suddenly stood up, some standing next to Ning Jun, and some standing in the crowd of Ning Jun. The Ning Jun who were close to them could smell the strong stench of corpses from them.
"Ah--"
This time, the scream was not made by a few people, but by the entire Ning Jun. As they shouted, the 'corpses' raised their swords, aimed at the heads of the surrounding Ning army, and chopped them down with all their strength. In just a moment, a group of Ning army fell down, all of them were covered in blood and their bodies were scattered.
Even Zhong Shun was stabbed, but he was protected by the spiritual armor, and the knife did not hurt him.
He had never seen such an incredible thing that the corpse could be resurrected and could fight and kill people. Zhong Shun didn't even think about it, and he stabbed the 'corpse' in front of him with a backhand gun. He heard a puff in his ear, and his spiritual gun directly pierced the chest of the 'corpse'. Then he took back the spiritual gun and put the gun tip under his nose to smell it. There was a strong smell of blood. It was fresh blood, not corpse water. He paused for a moment and figured everything out. These corpses were not real, but pretended by the Feng army. They were mixed in with the corpses, pretending to be ghosts and playing tricks to launch a sneak attack on their side.
