Text Chapter 1863: Old Tricks Repeated
Looking back at the pursuing Niu Youde troops, Ao Fei felt a trace of sadness in his heart, and thought about the previous battle.
The first person to die in the battle was Jiang Qianli, who led 100,000 patrol soldiers and was defeated by the enemy from both sides.
The second was Luo Ze, who went to support Che Wu. Luo Ze was the first to arrive among the reinforcements because he was in the middle road with easy access and was closest to the battle point. As a result, when he rushed into the battle, he was cut into several sections by the Youxie coalition. Luo Ze died under the joint siege of the elders of the xie tribe and failed to meet Che Wu. However, it was precisely because of the arrival of Luo Ze's large number of troops, otherwise the remaining tens of thousands of troops in Che Wu's hands would not have lasted until now.
What Ao Fei didn't know was that the reason why Luo Ze died was because he brought too many people. This is why Qingyue could let Zhong Sanming and Che Wu meet but couldn't let Luo Ze and Che Wu meet, and sniped him to death at all costs. (Damn it, I skipped a chapter. This way of writing is too brain-consuming. I lost a chapter of silver)
Then Che Wu and Zhong Sanming died in battle.
Ao Fei calculated the losses. Jiang Qianli's 100,000 patrol soldiers, Che Wu's 300,000 reinforcements in the west, Luo Ze's 300,000 reinforcements in the middle, and Zhong Sanming's spies and horses also exceeded 300,000. So far, four generals have been lost, not to mention other generals. The loss of troops has exceeded one million!
After reflection, Ao Fei knew that his problem was in dispersing his troops, while Niu Youde always gathered an absolute advantage of several times the enemy's troops to fight, but he had no choice. After he set up the game, he wanted to play it safe, but he was ruined by things outside the battle. Niu Youde was shameless and spread rumors outside, which alarmed the guards to come. King Ying was under pressure to make him fight quickly, which disrupted his rhythm.
However, all is fair in war, and winning on the battlefield is a skill. Niu Youde was willing to sacrifice Juxiantang to disrupt his rhythm, which also required courage. All the senior officials in the Heavenly Court knew that Juxiantang was Niu Youde's biggest financial support. Even if it could be sacrificed, Ao Fei could only admire it.
Because of this, he began to examine Niu Youde's intention to pursue him, and vaguely realized that he had fallen into Niu Youde's conspiracy. Niu Youde might not want to join Qingyue's troops. Looking at the overall situation, Niu Youde's pursuit has tied down more than two million of his troops. At present, most of the troops on the battlefield are tied down by Niu Youde.
He is now worried about the safety of the troops in the east, south, and north. Qingyue's troops are nowhere to be found. He now understands that he made a wrong move with his messed up rhythm and should not have gathered the one million spies. Now he can't grasp the dynamics on the battlefield.
But if he didn't concentrate a large number of spies as reinforcements, Che Wu might not be able to hold on and it would be difficult to hold back the enemy's main force and fight a quick victory. Now even if he wanted to send out a million more spies, it would be too late. The initiative of the battlefield situation was no longer in his hands.
So he was now worried about the safety of the three reinforcements. He didn't know where Qingyue's troops were going. He didn't dare to let the three troops run around, fearing that they would be defeated one by one by Miao Yi. Therefore, the best way at present was to let the three troops meet up as planned and then make plans.
So he now suspected Niu Youde's intention to pursue him, but he couldn't figure it out. What did Niu Youde mean by holding such elite troops in his hands and not meeting up with Qingyue's troops and not coming out to attack other troops here earlier?
No matter what it meant, he now realized that he was being led by Miao Yi by the nose, and how could he let Miao Yi get what he wanted...
"Sir! Something is happening!"
A deputy general in the starry sky pointed to the front and reported to Baili Jie. Baili Jie had seen it and raised his hand.
The 340,000-man army showed up, set up a battle formation in the rear, and prepared to meet the enemy. The other 40,000 troops were gathered by spies they met on the road, and brought along along.
"No, it doesn't seem to be the enemy!" The deputy general on the side exclaimed again.
Everyone looked around and found that the string of people coming one after another were in a mess, and almost everyone was injured.
When approaching this side, the first embarrassed wounded man cast a spell and shouted: "General Baili, don't shoot, it's one of us, I am Liu Zhen, the commander-in-chief under General Che!" Don't be afraid, so many broken bows are already aimed at you.
Baili Jie turned around and asked, "Is this person under Che Wu's command? Ask if anyone knows him."
A man quickly came over from behind and replied, "General, it is indeed Liu Zhen under General Che's command. I know him, and many people here know him."
Bai Li Jie tilted his head and said, "Check it out!"
A dozen people came over here immediately and searched Liu Zhen's body. After confirming that there was no problem, they brought Liu Zhen over, but stopped the others who came later and kept a safe distance.
"Greetings, General Baili!" Liu Zhen came to the back and bowed with a sad look.
Bai Li Jie said in a deep voice, "Che Wu was defeated, why can you come back?"
Liu Zhen said miserably, "I couldn't come back alive, Qingyue let us come back."
Bai Li Jie frowned and said, "Why did she let you come back?"
"She asked us to tell you that General Che's troops were defeated..." Liu Zhen brought Qingyue's original words.
Baili Jie pondered for a while, then snorted and sneered, saying to his subordinates: "Qingyue is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She knows that the three groups of troops are about to meet up, so she deliberately deceives me."
The deputy general said: "General, be careful. General Ao has sent a message, asking us to be careful of Qingyue's troops."
Bai Li Jie: "Are we not going to meet up with the other two groups of troops just because we are scared by Qingyue? The general wants us to meet up together. Now we are not afraid that Qingyue's troops will not attack us, but we are afraid that she will run away and we can't find her."
The generals on both sides were silent. To be honest, the defeat of Jiang Qianli, Luo Ze, Che Wu and Zhong Sanming made them feel a little uneasy.
Baili Jie pouted at the embarrassed hundred people who came one after another and asked Liu Zhen: "Are these our own people?"
Liu Zhen looked back and nodded: "They are all our own people who were let go by Qingyue." He saw it with his own eyes.
Baili Jie believed that Liu Zhen, who had escaped safely, had no need to lie to him, but he still said cautiously: "The large group of people continue to move forward, do not give Qingyue a chance to delay time, leave a group of people to check, and follow up if there is no problem."
The army immediately gathered again, and more than a thousand people flew towards the hundred people and surrounded them for inspection.
Baili Jie led the rest of the generals to continue on their way.
However, just when Baili and his party had just passed the more than 100 people who were surrounded, a sudden change occurred. Among the 100 people who were about to be searched, one of them suddenly waved his hand and suddenly became more than 30 people. In an instant, he broke through the more than 1,000 people who were checking. He could not stop them and rushed to Baili Jie and his party horizontally.
Baili Jie and his party were shocked. The sound of "enemy attack" rang out. As soon as more than 300,000 troops appeared, 30,000 troops suddenly burst out from this side and followed the three leading people to rush and kill.
The scene was instantly shocked by the sound of killing.
The three leading people were none other than Meng Ru, Ao Tie and Chang Hong. Meng Ru had pretended to be a remnant soldier with blood on his face and followed the more than 100 remnant soldiers. Although the remnants were from the same unit, there were so many troops in the Eastern Army that not everyone knew each other. They were busy escaping all the way and had no time to exchange polite feelings.
The distance was too close, and Baili Jie and his party could not avoid it. As soon as the protective circle was formed around them, Meng Ru and his party were too strong. With one impact, they broke through the hastily laid protective circle, and instantly fought with Baili Jie and his party.
Baili Jie, who was besieged by Meng Ru and his three men, had his head chopped off with a knife after only a few encounters.
Meng Ru and his men were indeed fierce, and more than ten of the main generals around Baili Jie were killed in just a few moments.
The two armies collided with each other. Although there was a bit of chaos without the main general's command, the more than 300,000 troops naturally surrounded the 30,000 raiding troops. After all, there were still generals in the block below who could command, and the basic coordination naturally did not need to be taught by others, and they were madly besieging.
But at this moment, behind the fighting army, a burst of "kill" sounded into the sky, and suddenly a group of people and horses appeared, rushing over at a rapid speed.
Qingyue led the army to arrive, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, and Long Xin led one group each, roundabout and encircled the battlefield. The two groups of people were like swimming dragons, and did not rush into the battle formation, but broke the magic bows and shot countless streamers around the fighting army.
Not only was Bailijie's army unable to organize an effective defense under the chaotic command, but Meng Ru and others led the troops to cause trouble, so they were unable to organize an effective defense at all. There was chaos inside and outside.
Screams and wailings came one after another, and Bailijie's troops quickly died under the fierce attack of the broken law bow.
Until most of the enemy troops were annihilated, Qingyue ordered the army to encircle and attack, and rushed into the battle formation for fear that the meteor arrows would hurt their own people who attacked.
This battle ended quickly. As soon as the war stopped, more than 80,000 prisoners of surrender were captured. This was all because the superiors deliberately concealed the news of the defeat in other places from the subordinates for fear of affecting morale. If these people knew how Jiang Qianli's 100,000 surrendered soldiers died, they would probably fight to the end.
"You have made great contributions! If it weren't for your bravery in killing the general and seizing the flag to cause chaos to the enemy, this battle would not have been won so easily. I won't say thank you, I will report it to the commander-in-chief!" After meeting with Meng Ru and others, Qing Yue bowed to them who were covered in blood and thanked them. She blinked her bright eyes and smiled: "Now the enemy knows and we know. I know the enemy's whereabouts, but the enemy doesn't know mine. With your bravery, my confidence has increased greatly. I want to use the same trick on the enemy's other reinforcements. What do you think?"
Meng Ru and the other two looked at each other, and Ao Tie said: "Can you guarantee that the battle situation here has not been leaked? If it is leaked, the enemy will probably fall into the trap."
Qing Yue: "The enemy was caught off guard by the surprise attack in this battle, and the enemy may not have the opportunity to report it. Moreover, even if the enemy knows, with your bravery, you should have enough time to escape in time if you find something wrong. I think it won't hurt to try it."
The three were angry and amused. They were addicted to using them. Don't they know that it is dangerous to do so? No matter how high your cultivation is, once you are surrounded in such a large-scale battle, it is difficult to use your magic power. It is just that your strength is an advantage in close combat. After all, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist close combat with extraordinary cultivation.
Meng Ru said: "Sir, you should ask General Niu for his opinion first." Several people did not want to take this risk all the time. Two of the men brought by Purgatory had already died in the battle. (To be continued.)
