Chapter 883 Night Attack on the South Vietnam Camp
Ning Chen's guess was correct. Kang Luo agreed to join forces with Emperor De.
Another point that Ning Chen guessed correctly was that Kang Luo sent 50,000 troops to support Liangzhou.
Moreover, Kang Luo did not personally lead the troops there.

He only had 150,000 troops, and he had to guard Yangzhou and Chongzhou, so it was impossible to send them all out.
The leader was Ruan Yingxun, who was also a famous general of South Vietnam.
The 50,000-strong army came to Baizheling in a mighty manner.
Ruan Yingxun ordered the army to station.
Wu Congzhou was also in the team. This successful alliance with South Vietnam was definitely a great achievement!
Of course, he was destined to bear this eternal infamy.
However, there are gains and losses. This successful alliance will make him more trusted by Emperor De after returning.
Wu Congzhou found Ruan Yingxun, "General Ruan, why did you stop?"
Ruan Yingxun glanced at him sideways, despising him in his heart. These literati are good at talking, but they know nothing about marching and fighting.
He pointed to the endless mountains in the distance, "The mountains overlap here, and this place is most suitable for ambushes.
If the enemy sets an ambush here, we will suffer a great loss."
"Enemy? Where are the enemies?" Wu Congzhou asked, and suddenly reacted, "General Ruan is talking about Ning Chen?"
Ruan Yingxun nodded.
Wu Congzhou smiled and said, "General Ruan is overthinking. If Ning Chen mobilizes his troops, he will go straight to Liangzhou. Why would he come here?"
Ruan Yingxun sneered, "Do you know how to march and fight? Ning Chen is full of tricks, and there is no guarantee that he will not set an ambush here.
This general has a feeling that Ning Chen's troops may be hidden behind these hills."
Wu Congzhou's face changed.
Seeing this, Ruan Yingxun couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that you are scared by Ning Chen."
Wu Congzhou smiled awkwardly.
Ruan Yingxun said: "But speaking of it, Ning Chen is indeed terrible, and he can make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afraid... The whole Daxuan knows Ning Chen."
Wu Congzhou was disappointed. He knew that Ruan Yingxun didn't take the current Daxuan seriously at all...If it weren't for dealing with Ning Chen, Nanyue would never agree to an alliance.
Immediately, Ruan Yingxun sent dozens of scouts into Baizheling to investigate.
These scouts didn't come back until the next morning.
All the scouts came back, without a single one missing.
And the news they brought back was that no trace of the enemy was found, and everything was safe!
"It seems that this general is overthinking!
Pass the order, the army will set off, march quickly, and must pass Baizheling within three days!"
Ruan Yingxun is still very capable. He knows that it is not advisable to stay in Baizheling for a long time.
Three days later, the 50,000-strong Nanyue army safely crossed Baizheling.
Nguyen Yingxun breathed a sigh of relief.
The soldiers were exhausted after three days of rapid march.
He ordered them to stay where they were, rest for a night, and set out again tomorrow morning.
What he didn't know was that he had become a dumpling filling.
King Wu led an army of 50,000 and was waiting for him outside Baizheling.
Yuan Long acted a few days later than King Wu. When the Nanyue army was about to cross Baizheling, Yuan Long led his army to Baizheling.
The army was hiding behind those hills.
"Report..."
The scout came running.
Yuan Long looked at him, "Speak."
The scout said, "General, everything is as you expected... I did find traces left by a large number of troops."
Yuan Long asked, "Are they heading towards Liangzhou?"
"Yes!"
Yuan Long couldn't help laughing, his face full of admiration, "Your Majesty is really good at predicting things... Observing the traces, how long have they been there?"
The scout said, "The traces are very new, no more than two days."
Yuan Long grinned, "Messenger, pass my order, immediately head towards Liangzhou."
"Yes!"
The messenger took the order and ran away.
......
On the other side, King Wu also received the news.
"Your Majesty, a large number of Nanyue troops were found, it seems that there are 40,000 to 50,000 people, stationed a few miles outside Baizheling."
King Wu stood up, his face unable to hide his excitement.
"They are really here... Your Majesty is really good at predicting things!
Order, let the soldiers get ready and wait for my order!"
The messenger leaned forward to receive the order.
He planned to attack the Nanyue camp at Chou time tonight, when people were most sleepy.
"Come on, let Li Bao and Qiao Ying come to see me."
King Wu shouted outside.
The guards outside responded and left quickly.
After a while, two tall men appeared in King Wu's tent.
"Meet the prince!"
"No need to be polite!" King Wu waved his hand and said, "Li Bao, Qiao Ying, come here."
The two stepped forward.
King Wu pointed to the map and said, "The Nanyue army is stationed here. I have decided to attack the Nanyue camp at Chou time tonight.
You two, take a few good players and go to secretly eliminate the Nanyue scouts on this road.
Remember, this is our first battle following Emperor Ning, and we must fight beautifully. If anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me for not caring about our old friendship."
The two leaned over to receive the order, "I have received the order!"
...
Late at night, Chou time.
The moonlight was hazy.
At this time, people were the most sleepy, and most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep. Only patrolling soldiers were moving around in the camp.
Following King Wu's order, 50,000 troops marched towards the Nanyue camp.
On the way, they met Li Bao and Qiao Ying.
"Prince Qi, all the South Vietnamese scouts along the way have been eliminated!"
King Wu patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Well done! If we can capture the fifty thousand soldiers and horses of South Vietnam this time, I will go back to His Majesty and ask for your credit in person!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
King Wu nodded and ordered the messengers, "I am commanding you to approach the Nanyue camp. The people in the bow and arrow camp will shoot hard for me, and you are not allowed to save arrows.
In addition, the soldiers from other battalions drew and sharpened their swords for me... This is our first battle after following His Majesty, and we must fight well. "
"yes!"
The messenger rushed away.
King Wu continued: "I will lead the bow and arrow battalion to attack from the front.
Li Bao, you lead the Sword and Shield Battalion to charge from the left side of the Nanyue Battalion.
Qiao Ying, you lead the cavalry to charge from the right. "
The two men leaned forward to accept the order.
Because the scouts in South Vietnam were all eliminated by Li Bao and Qiao Ying.
So, everything went smoothly.
King Wu led the army to approach the Nanyue camp.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following King Wu's order.
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
Arrows rained down from the sky towards the Nanyue camp.
This is simply blind shooting.
Whether you can hit the enemy depends on your luck.
At this moment, Li Bao and Qiao Ying led their troops and began to charge.
Boom, boom, boom! ! !
War drums beat.
"kill......"
"Kill, kill all the South Vietnamese dogs..."
The sound of killing shook the sky.
This sudden attack caused chaos in the Nanyue camp.
Screams echoed through the sky.
Ten thousand archers, even if they shoot blindly, the sky will be filled with arrows, and many lives will be taken away.
The South Vietnamese camp was in chaos.
Some people shouted that the enemy was under attack, and some people ran out of their tents with their pants pulled up or naked, panicking, not receiving orders, and not knowing what to do?
Ruan Yingxun drank some wine before resting. He was sleeping deeply, but he was woken up from his dream.
Wu Congzhou was also woken up. Hearing the killing sounds outside, he turned pale and trembled with fear.
