Chapter 714
General Yirong nodded, turned around and gestured to his accompanying team.
Someone in the team released four golden wings, and another six people spread out on the top of the mountain in a circle, facing all directions, each took out a bone flute, and the bone flutes in the hands of the six people were different, and played it by their mouths.
There are "woo-woo", "beep-beep", and faint and indistinguishable sounds.
The 100,000 civilians on Bulao Mountain panicked first, and someone shouted, "Snake!"
So many snakes! Not only snakes, but also many mice came out of the caves in the corners, and all kinds of bugs and ants in the mountain also crawled out, and there were more and more of them.
The emergence of various snakes, insects, rats and ants made the scalps of those who watched it numb.
The frightened and screaming peasants had nowhere to escape, but soon found that as long as they didn't move around, those swarms of snakes, rats, rats and ants would bypass them, which made them terrified and surprised.
The snakes, insects, rats and ants in Bulao Mountain seemed to have crawled out, and gradually gathered and rushed in all directions like a tide.
Even in the battle field, there were snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling out constantly. The red-eyed two sides didn't take it seriously at first, but when they found more and more, both sides were a little confused. Snakes are constantly coming to bite you, crazy mice are constantly jumping up on you and biting you, insects and ants are constantly crawling on you, crawling into your clothes and biting, and there are insects crawling into your ears and noses. crazy.
Some people hurriedly kicked and clapped their hands, some avoided, and some jumped around.
"Attack!" Chen Shaotong, who was watching the battle on the mountain, shouted angrily.
The Song army began to force the soldiers to ignore the harassment and attacks of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the law enforcement warlords began to kill people!
Song Jun was forced to have no choice but to make a new discovery. He found that the snakes, insects, rats and ants did not attack them at all, but only attacked the soldiers of the Yan army. This discovery greatly boosted the morale here.
The Yan army was in chaos, and they were in a hurry, so the Song army took advantage of the situation and killed them.
Not only snakes, insects, rats and ants, but also more and more birds appeared in the sky. All kinds of birds flew towards the Yan army and the faces of the Yan army officers and soldiers.
Under the toss, facing the Song army's attack, the Yan army had little power to parry.
The battle situation was one-sided in an instant, Chen Shaotong drew his sword and pointed at the command center of the Yan Army, "Meng Shanming is probably over there, everyone, please!"
A group of monks flew into the air and headed straight for the banner of the enemy general.
Su Qitong was stunned, the army under his command made an all-out attack, and he had just besieged Bulao Mountain, and fell into this situation, which he never imagined in his dreams.
Here, a large number of snakes, insects, rats and ants also appeared, and various birds that swooped down from the sky also attacked desperately.
There are a large number of monk guards around, and these harassments have no effect on these senior generals. The monks will take action to deal with them, but the soldiers under their command are not so easy, dancing and slashing with swords.
"Withdraw!" Meng Shanming, who was holding the handrail, shouted decisively.
Gong Lince stood by his side, personally guarding him, occasionally sweeping something away with his sleeves, his face livid.
The swarms of bees come from nowhere, they sting anyone they see.
Dangdang sounded, Ming Jin withdrew the troops, and the Yan army began to flee frantically, people running and running, people bumping into people, this abnormal retreat method was in a mess.
Someone was running with a poisonous snake hanging from his body, foaming at the mouth before running far, and staggered to the ground.
Gradually, more ferocious beasts came running from the direction they were retreating from. Five or six fierce tigers roared and charged into the crowd.
There are also packs of wolves running wildly, rushing into the crowd and biting.
Song Jun, who was chasing after him with free hands and feet, chopped at people with a knife when he saw them, chopping melons and vegetables all the way.
At this moment, the Yan army was in complete chaos. Not only was the personnel chaotic, but even the golden wings that had been released flew back to attack their own people, and there was no way to summon large birds to respond.
A group of monks from the Song Kingdom rushed over and saw Meng Shanming, although he didn't recognize him, but the wheelchair was so recognizable, they besieged frantically.
"Let's go!" Gong Lince yelled angrily, dragged Meng Shanming himself, and led a group of Yan Kingdom monks to fight and retreat.
For a while, protecting Meng Shanming became the most important thing for a group of monks, and the soldiers below couldn't manage it, there were too many people, and there were not so many monks.
The golden wings couldn't be released, and they couldn't even call for rescue, so some monks had to leave first to find rescuers.
A group of monks guarded Meng Shanming and rushed out from the forest area. The monks from the Song Dynasty chased to the plain area and still refused to give up, entangled and hunted down!
For this battle, Chen Shaotong obviously came prepared, prepared a lot of masters in advance, obviously determined to kill Mengshan!
However, the monks of the Yan Kingdom had to escape with important generals, and the escape speed of the people with them was affected, making it difficult to get rid of the pursuit for a while.
He struggled until the other monks among the princes of the Yan Kingdom received the report and came to help them urgently, and then succeeded in responding, forcing the monks of the Song Kingdom back, and snatching Meng Shanming and others out.
These important generals escaped, in fact they left hundreds of thousands of men and fled!
They escaped, but the hundreds of thousands of horses were not so lucky. They were harassed by birds, beasts, poisonous insects, and followed closely by the pursuers. One can imagine the fate.
In the wilderness, a thousand cavalry of the Yan Army arrived and stopped. Meng Shanming sat on the horseback and looked at the direction of the battle expressionlessly.
Su Qitong, with tearing eyes, stood with a sword in his hand, waiting, looking at the people who ran back and finally escaped from the battlefield.
There were more than 500,000 people. In the end, only more than 10,000 people came back. Some people collapsed after returning, their faces were black and convulsed, and they were bitten by poisonous snakes and became poisoned.
Some people's faces were swollen like pig's heads, or their hands and feet were swollen, and they were stung by poisonous bees and insects.
The monk quickly stepped forward to rescue those people.
When a large number of reinforcements arrived from the rear, the soldiers of the Yan army who participated in the battle were no longer seen. Everyone knew that they might never come back again.
This side didn't even dare to send large birds to investigate the situation, fearing that the large birds would not be controlled, and the two sent in front never came back.
Half a million horses just disappeared!
With a plop, Su Qitong knelt down on the grass, facing the direction of the battlefield, his lips trembling!
It was the first time in his life that he left hundreds of thousands of soldiers and fled on the battlefield, and he wanted to cry without tears!
Now Shen Yuhong, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace who took over the power of Haozhou, bared his teeth, and looked at Su Qitong with hatred, quite annoyed that he was indisputable.
It's not that he was angry that he didn't fight, but that he didn't know how to fight and retreated, and insisted on rushing to make a move. As a result, just one battle almost wiped out the entire army of Haozhou!
On the horse's back, Meng Shanming with a livid face uttered, "Flying birds, beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants appeared to help the Song army. I wonder if any mage can tell the old man what's going on?"
Gong Lince said sharply, "Wan Beast Gate!"
Meng Shanming also has this guess, but he still has doubts, "Didn't the Wanshoumen never participate in disputes among the nations?"
Gong Lince's expression twitched, he couldn't explain why now.
Meng Shanming asked again: "Is there a way to resolve it?"
Gong Lince: "Let's find a way."
Meng Shanming looked towards the direction of the battle again, and said slowly: "This Chen Shaotong really has some skills!"
As far as the matter is concerned, although Chen Shaotong received the help of a surprise army, it was because of Chen Shaotong's tricks to annihilate 500,000 people in Yan State at one time, otherwise it would be difficult for those snakes, rats, rats and ants to cause such huge casualties here. If fighting on the plains, it would be very difficult for the opponent to gather so many poisonous rat ants and the like, and it is unknown if such a large scale of poisonous rat ants had been prepared in advance.
It can be seen that from the very beginning, Chen Shaotong had made up his mind to eliminate a large number of Yan troops at one time, so he did not hesitate to let the soldiers below die to lure the enemy. In the end, they were fooled and Chen Shaotong succeeded.
"Retreat!" Meng Shanming turned his mount and decisively gave the order to retreat.
As for the matter of annihilating the Song army, don't even think about it until you can't solve the threat of the other side's surprise soldiers.
...
"General, there are too many master guards around Meng Shanming, even Gong Lince, the head of Zijin Cave in Yan Kingdom, is by his side, so let him run away."
The cultivator of the Song Kingdom who had been hunted down returned, and walked up to Chen Shaotong alone, cupping his hands and apologizing.
"It is good to be able to kill Meng Shanming. It is inevitable that there are a lot of masters around him to protect him. It is not surprising to let him escape. Elder Liu and all the mages have tried their best." Although Chen Shaotong has endless regrets in his heart, but Still cupping his hands to comfort everyone, he saw that many monks were injured, and some were brought back with serious injuries. The loss was not small.
On the battlefield, all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and beasts gradually dispersed. Chen Shaotong led the people to patrol, and the corpses were everywhere!
The final counting results came out, nearly 500,000 enemies were killed in this battle, and they also lost almost 100,000 horses.
The Yan army suffered a disastrous defeat, and one of the generals of the Song army said excitedly: "General, why don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"
"The chance of such a big victory is gone!" Chen Shaotong looked up to the sky and sighed.
He knew very well in his heart that if he fought in the way of chasing, snakes, insects, rats and ants would not be able to follow them, and would not be able to play any role. Would the quality of the combat troops here catch up and seek death? And it is impossible to lure others into being fooled, and they are not fools.
This is the reason why he lured the enemy at the cost of huge casualties. The same opportunity will never come again. The morale of the army made the enemy dare not provoke him easily.
From the beginning, he didn't expect to rely on these mobs to wipe out the more than 2 million elites of the Yan army. It is fundamental to fight a beautiful victory to explain to the upper and lower levels, and then pester and drag the Yan army to win the smooth arrival of Luo Zhao's army.
With the deterrent power of this battle, he dared to lead a group of mobs to stare at the back of the Yan army.
...
In the forest, upon hearing the news from Gongsun Bu, Niu Youdao turned his head slowly, and said with a surprised face: "A fiasco? Wanshoumen made a move?"
He couldn't believe that Meng Shanming, who was so good at fighting, was defeated by hundreds of thousands of mobs of the Song army.
"Yes, half a million horses were lost in the First World War. You can see for yourself." Guan Fangyi handed him the news paper and sighed.
Niu Youdao frowned after reading the detailed situation on the paper, and muttered, "Why would Wanshoumen get involved in such a dispute?"
Yuan Gang on the side tried to ask, "Master Dao, let me try."
