Chapter 1024: The Decisive Battle at Guantong

Piao Man Country.

When the Qinglong Army crushed the enemy all the way and occupied the Jiaozhi Palace.

The Suzaku Army encountered a little trouble.

Since they entered the Piao Man Country, the Piao Man Army chose to retreat to the south, seemingly intending to lure the enemy deep into the country and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Although Guan Tong judged the intention of the Piao Man Country, he chose to use the trick against the enemy, making the other party think that he was a stupid general.

For him, when the strength of the two armies is equal, it is indeed a good strategy to lure the enemy deep into the country and then concentrate the troops to annihilate them.

However, when the strength of the two sides is very different, no matter what tricks are in vain.

"General, the front is Mizhi." After several days of marching, they passed through the northern mountainous area of ​​the Piao Man Country and entered the plain area in the middle.

Before going south, the four supervisory offices had been collecting the terrain of the Piao Man Country, and the King of Yan also showed them the terrain of the Piao Man Country.

In short, the terrain of the Piao Man Country is like a fish.

The fish head and the fins on both sides are all covered with dense forests and high mountains.

The belly and tail of the fish are located on plains, and the tail is connected to the southern ocean.

These are just general terrains, but the specific terrain cannot be marked on the map given by King Yan, and can only be explored by the people of the four supervisory offices.

As far as he knows, the current Piman army has been leading them to a desperate place.

This desperate place is the Mizhi Swamp on the central plain of Piman.

"If it is as they wish, then they should also take action, right?" Guan Tong showed a playful look.

When they just entered Piman, the main force of Piman retreated to the south.

But then, this main force kept detouring from both sides to the flanks and back of the Suzaku Army, leaving only 10,000 troops to disguise the main force and lure them to continue moving forward.

All this naturally could not be hidden from their scouts.

After all, their scouts are better than the Piman army in observation methods.

And when he realized that the direction they were heading to was Mizhi, he understood.

Once they enter the Great Swamp, their south will become a dead end.

This Great Swamp is not only full of mud that can trap people, but also has a large number of pythons, crocodiles, poisonous insects and other creatures.

If they force their way through here, their non-combat casualties may reach one-tenth.

In this way, the Barbarians can lead them in circles without fighting, constantly losing troops, which is extremely insidious.

If they don't fall for it, the Barbarians will naturally have a way.

That is, let the flanks and the rear troops launch an attack to force them to pass through the Great Swamp.

Even directly in this dead end, they will be wiped out.

"The temptation to make us suffer heavy losses is right in front of us, they will definitely not be able to resist." The general laughed.

Guan Tong nodded and said to the general, "They asked us to enter the swamp, but we didn't go in. We will stay on the open land outside the swamp and let them take the initiative to attack. Go and talk to the soldiers."

"Yes, General." The general responded yes and turned away.

After the general left, Guan Tong sneered. The Piman wanted to end the war once and for all, and he also wanted to end it once and for all.

…

At this moment, the right wing position 60 miles away from the Suzaku Army.

Yong Ya was marching under the escort of the Piman generals.

The Piman cavalrymen kept informing him of the location of the Dasong army.

Knowing that the Dasong army was heading to the Great Swamp according to his plan, he and the generals showed a treacherous smile of success.

"What a stupid general, he can't even recognize this little trick. This time, the 80,000 troops of Dasong will definitely not be able to return." Yong Ya smiled.

Lure the Dasong army to the Great Swamp was just one of his plans to fight the Dasong army.

He didn't have much hope, and planned to fight the Dasong army in Mogok after the plan failed.

But he didn't expect that the Dasong generals would fall into the trap.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he naturally had to seize.

"They think they can look down on us Piu Man because they defeated the Beidi people. Humph, this time I will let the blood of the Dasong people dye the water of the Great Swamp red." Yong Ya sneered.

Just like Jiaozhi's ambition for Jiaozhou, they Piu Man naturally have ambitions for Yunzhou.

For him, the chieftain of Yunzhou should submit to Piu Man, not to Dasong.

Thinking of this, he said to the cavalry who came to report the military situation, "Keep watching them."

The cavalry left after answering yes.

Another day passed, and the scout cavalry returned with the latest news.

The Dasong army stopped outside the Great Swamp.

This news made Yong Ya and the Piu Man generals nervous.

"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer. When you attack the Dasong army immediately, our elephant soldiers will definitely drive them into the swamp." A general said.

The prey is just one step away from entering the trap, and every hunter will be anxious.

After all, if the prey realizes that there is a trap in front of it, it will escape.

This is the situation now. The Dasong army suddenly stopped chasing and stopped. It is very likely that the generals realized that something was wrong.

In this case, they can only try to take some measures to force the prey into the trap.

Yong Ya was also very anxious.

The Dasong army under the command of King Yan is not the same as before.

If they miss this opportunity and fight with them in the territory of Piaoman.

Even if they can win, they will suffer heavy losses.

On the contrary, as long as they attack the Dasong army and let them flee south in panic and try to pass through the Great Swamp, he will win.

Under such temptation, Yong Ya cannot resist.

He nodded, and sent people to gather the left and right wings and the rear army to attack the Dasong army head-on.

This time, in addition to the 300,000 troops of the Pyu Man Kingdom, he also had 50,000 troops from Funan and 60,000 troops from Nanzhang.

Before Frank arrived, Pyu Man had conquered these two countries.

But after surrendering to Frank, Frank separated Nanzhang and Funan from Pyu Man.

Now, in order to deal with the Dasong army, Frank ordered the armies of the two countries to be dispatched by him.

In other words, he could mobilize a total of 400,000 troops at the moment.

400,000 against 80,000, five times the enemy's strength, they had great hope of winning this battle.

He made up his mind.

The armies of Pyu Man, Nanzhang, and Funan gathered from all directions and headed for the Great Swamp.

One day later, the dense army entered the plains from the mountains and arrived at the north side of the Dasong army.

Stopping ten miles away from the Dasong army, Yongya decided to launch an assault on the Dasong army at night.

With the invincible elephant soldiers of the Piaoman and the excellent mountain soldiers of the Piaoman, they will surely drive the Dasong army into the swamp.

When Yongya was secretly proud of himself, Guan Tong and his generals could not help but feel excited.

The Piaoman could not bear it any longer, and the army merged together and showed up.

Then the two sides could have a decisive battle on the open plain in front of the Great Swamp.

One battle will determine life and death!
