Chapter 1,752: Open and Dark (End)(1/2)
Zhao Bu hurriedly knelt down and exhorted with his hands raised, "General, calm down!"
"If the Wild Wolf Legion takes a detour for reinforcements, not to mention being too late, it will be very easy for them to fall into an ambush by the opponent again!"
"General, please think again!"
The Angry Leopard Legion has lost its leader and can no longer organize an effective defensive counterattack. If Longjie and the others notice the movements of the Wild Wolf Legion, they can temporarily leave the Raging Leopard Legion alone and turn around to ambush the Wild Wolf Legion.
As a result, the armor-piercing soldier who has fought hundreds of battles is likely to accompany his wife before losing his troops.
If Wang Li hadn't lost his mind, he would never have issued such a wrong order.
Fortunately, Zhao Bu still had sense. After his reminder, Wang Li barely suppressed his anger and regained his mind:
"Huh...you're right."
"The Wild Wolf Legion can no longer take risks rashly. Our focus now is to steadily swallow the meat of Frostfall Ridge!"
As long as he swallows up all the two armies in Frostfall Ridge, even if the Wild Wolf Legion and Raging Leopard Legion are both crippled, he will still have the upper hand!
"Give me the order to have the remnants of the Wild Wolf Legion and Raging Leopard Legion assemble towards the main camp and regroup."
Obviously, Wang Li does not expect the other two troops to achieve any results now. He only wants them to guard the camp and avoid further damage. He will basically win this battle.
Then, he heard a voice full of panic and confusion:
"It's on fire... it's on fire!"
Wang Li's sensitive nerves were touched and he instantly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a soldier pointing to the northeast and shouting in a panic.
Following the direction of his finger, a puff of black smoke could be vaguely seen rising.
And the direction he was pointing was exactly the direction of the Armor-Piercing Soldiers Camp - the trees nearby had been cut down almost completely, and it was almost impossible to ignite a mountain fire that could create such a large area of black smoke.
So if nothing else goes wrong, only their camp will be burned.
Zhaobu even said bluntly, "General, this is our main camp!"
Wang Li's whole body was trembling.
He finally understood why the farmers wanted to keep him in Frostfall Ridge even at the cost of half of their troops.
If it's just to ambush the Raging Leopard Legion, it's not worth it at all!
It turned out that their goal was never any army, but their own base camp.
This is the only hope for farmers to break the situation.
There is an expert in the farmer’s family!
When Wang Li truly understood this, it seemed to be a little late.
………………
At the same time, the farmers at the Han Xin headquarters located in the central highlands also saw the rising smoke.
Tian Yan was surprised and asked, "Is that... the direction of Wang Li's camp?"
Han Xin nodded, "That's right."
"I arranged for a group of extraordinary soldiers to take risks all the way."
"Are they... Hall Master Chen Sheng and the others?" Tian Yan turned around to look at Han Xin and asked again.
"Xia Kui is witty." Han Xin nodded again and said eloquently, "Whether it is the defense of mountains and forests, or the attack of wind and fire, they cannot fundamentally determine the battle of Daze Mountain."
"From the beginning to the end, I have always placed the victory or defeat of the battle on this extraordinary force. Now it seems... the result is not bad, it worked."
Even if the peasants were numerically superior, and even if Long Qie and the four generals were experienced in many battles, Han Xin still couldn't think of any possibility for them to defeat the armor-piercing soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles... Unless the Emperor of Chu, Donghuang, descended to earth with the gods.
However, considering the demise of the Chu State and the fact that these gods who have been sacrificed by the Chu people for thousands of years have not come down to earth to show their spirits, the feasibility of this plan is obviously not very high.
So I can only think of outside moves and some real tricks, not just tricks like Qingming Valley.
Then Han Xin set his sights on Wang Li's camp.
That is the only hope to break the situation.
The camp itself is not important, but once the camp is lost, it means that Wang Li's entire army's supplies, weapons and weapons will be burned.
Dongjun is still considered the hinterland of the empire for the time being, and there is no problem with logistical supplies, but this is only possible if the farmers do not deliberately cause trouble.
If nothing happens to Wang Li's camp, harassing the supply line is meaningless. But when Wang Li loses his camp, as long as the peasants' interference is slightly effective, Wang Li's supplies will be delayed for three or two days, and the entire armor-piercing force will suffer.
Morale will be on the verge of collapse.
Even the ace of the empire can't stand the panic of not having enough food, and the fall of the camp itself will seriously affect their morale.
When the army is defeated like a mountain and morale drops, the situation will be unstoppable and lead to complete collapse.
By then, the farmer's crisis will be resolved.
In response to this idea, Han Xin finally decided on tonight's battle plan.
All the frontal troops of the farmer's family were all "baits" he used to attract Wang Li's attention. All the arrangements made against the jackals, tigers and leopards were just a cover-up to confuse the enemy.
For this operation, Han Xin felt that he was too skilled in using it.
Of course, Han Xin also had to admit that the reason why his plan worked so easily was not only due to his own careful arrangements and Wang Li's negligence, but also to Luo Wang's backstabbing.
All in all, this was a plan where three parties, including Wang Li himself, worked together to push Wang Li into the pit.
………………
When Wang Li opened the champagne at the farmhouse and wanted to curse, the armor-piercing soldiers camp was already in chaos.
Fires broke out in many places in the camp.
It should be said that the intensity of the fire is not serious, and the areas burning are not important, but you can't resist the fact that there are too many fire places.
The only people left behind in the camp were basic defense forces. Faced with this obviously problematic fire, they had to not only ensure the defense of the camp, but also allocate enough manpower to put out the fire. As a result, they were in a hurry and focused on one thing but not the other.
As the general guarding the camp, Bai Tu was completely worried.
Even if you were a loser like him, you would immediately realize that someone was up to something when you saw this kind of fire that was obviously not accidental.
But he could think of this, but he couldn't think of a solution.
All he knew was that there were not enough manpower anywhere, soldiers were mobilized everywhere, the camp was a mess, and the fire could not be suppressed.
Facing the intensifying fire, Bai Tu had only one question with a clear answer - that is, he was finished.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry too much about this, because his top priority is not the accountability of the empire or Wang Li, but some more direct threats.
In the chaos, two armor-piercing soldiers spotted Bai Tu and strode toward him.
Bai Tu was stunned for a moment after seeing the faces of the two people.
Of these two men, one looked like the man who had returned to camp not long ago and answered his questions.
The other one is more deadly.
Bai Tu recognized him as Gao Jianli, the Mohist rebel who helped the mountain people escape not long ago!
And those who can walk with Gao Jianli are definitely not serious soldiers.
Bai Tu's first reaction was to draw his sword, and then the hand holding the sword hilt was directly frozen by Gao Jianli's ice energy.
With his hands restrained, Bai Tu completely lost his ability to resist.
He couldn't even shout for help... To be precise, it was useless.
Now the camp is noisier than when the war started. The roaring wind caused by the blazing flames is mixed with the roar of thousands of soldiers. Unless Bai Tu can shout out the effect of the lion's roar skill, even Gao Jianli and the two may not be able to
I can hear clearly what he shouted.
Wu Kuang and Gao Jianli did not give Bai Tu a chance to ask for help. They directly put their swords on his neck and pushed him into the nearest tent.
Facing the smiling Wu Kuang, Bai Tu felt no kindness at all. He was so nervous that he couldn't say a word. He just kept repeating, "You... you..."
"Where does General Bai Tu want to go?" Wu Kuang asked calmly.
Bai Tu didn't answer, but he finally finished his sentence, "Did you set the fire!?"
"General Bai, you don't have to be so reserved. Everyone here is old friends. Let's be more relaxed." Wu Kuang replied with a smile, but also did not answer the question.
Bai Tu was a little confused and asked, "Who are you?"
Old friend?
Forget it Gao Jianli, I don’t know you at all!
Wu Kuang pointed his sword at Bai Tu, and replied in a cheerful tone as if he were an acquaintance, "General Bai, noble man, you forget things so much. I even sent a message to Hall Master Tian Zhong for you."
Wu Kuang made his words so clear that Bai Tu finally reacted and exclaimed in disbelief, "You are Mr. Jin...Jin...Jin!?"
"Well, this is my former name." Wu Kuang nodded and replied cheerfully.
"Uh... Lao Jin, for the sake of our previous friendship, please let me go if you are so generous!"
Bai Tu was Bai Tu after all. After knowing that they were acquaintances, no matter why Mr. Jin became like this and hung out with people from the Mo family, he immediately started begging for mercy.
There's no shame in taking your life!
"You want to live? It's easy to say." Wu Kuang accepted Bai Tu's begging for mercy.
