Meng Gongdao: "The enemy's situation is unknown, and the battlefield is unknown. You two started a war without authorization, resulting in a huge defeat. Come on, drag Bi Nian and Chen Batian down and behead them on the spot."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately surprised. Everyone opened their mouths and couldn't close them for a long time.
It was only when soldiers came forward to drag Bi Nian and Chen Batian down to be executed that all the generals came to their senses.
Zhang Biqing hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Meng Gong: "General, no, Bi Nian, although Chen Batian and Chen Batian are guilty, they are dedicated to serving the country and have no selfish motives. Please ask the general to take back his orders."
Duan Zhi also knelt down quickly and said: "General, although Bi Nian is guilty, he is a brave man. Until the last moment, he never thought of living in hiding. Moreover, he is a descendant of General Bi Zaimei. Bi Nian has been a fierce general for generations. How can he
He can be killed easily, General, please think twice."
Jia Zhu also knelt down and advised: "General, it is unlucky to kill a general in front of the formation. Please take back your order, general."
All the other generals knelt on the ground and begged the Meng Cong to take back their orders.
Not only did these generals plead for mercy, but many soldiers also knelt on the ground and begged the Meng Communist Party not to kill Bi Nian and Chen Batian.
Seeing all this, Bi Nian and Chen Batian were even more ashamed and just cried bitterly.
Meng Gong glanced at everyone, looking at them one by one, and then said to Chen Batian: "For the sake of everyone interceding for you two, I will spare your lives for the time being. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be avoided."
If you escape, you two will be demoted to three ranks and fined with thirty military sticks. Someone will come and drag them to the gate of the camp and beat them in public."
"yes."
Soon, Bi Nian and Chen Batian were dragged to the gate of the camp and beaten with sticks in front of all the soldiers. Soon, they were beaten until they were bleeding and covered with scars.
All this fell not only in the eyes of the soldiers of the Song Army, but also in the eyes of the soldiers from Qi State who secretly investigated the military situation on a high ground in the distance.
When several soldiers from the Qi Kingdom saw this, they went to report it to Corey Lie.
When Corey heard the news, he was overjoyed and said: "The Song Army punished the two generals like this. It seems that the Song Army will not be able to launch a full-scale attack for a while.
This is exactly what I want, and I am just waiting here for the arrival of the troops from other leaders. At that time, the Song army will die."
So Corey waited with peace of mind for the follow-up troops to arrive, without any precaution against the Song army.
The sky gradually darkened, and at night, the generals of the Central Army of the Mongolian Communist Party, including Duan Zhi, Zhang Biqing, Jia Zhu, Chen Fang, and Chen Kexi, were summoned.
The generals gathered together, but Meng Gong was nowhere to be seen, and all the generals were talking about it.
Duan Zhi said: "Today there were four thousand casualties, 20% of the army's combat strength was lost, and the morale of the army seems to be floating. Is it possible that General Meng wants to withdraw his troops?"
Jia Zhu had a solemn look on his face and said: "This time we sent out troops, our army originally had only a few major generals. Now that something unexpected has happened, General Meng ordered someone to beat Bi Nian with a stick. Chen Batian, I'm afraid that General Meng has already thought of withdrawing."
,Why."
Jia Zhu sighed, looking helpless.
The generals all speculated that the Meng Cong had plans to retreat. After all, the Meng Cong were just like imperial envoys to them. Whether or not Qi's country was destroyed did not matter to the Meng Cong. Naturally, they could leave at will, which was beyond their control.
do not worry.
Just as everyone was discussing, the Meng Communist Party majestically appeared in front of everyone.
I saw Meng Gong wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist, striding in. Then in the surprised eyes of everyone, Meng Gong said loudly: "The generals will return to camp immediately to prepare. After an hour, they will launch an attack on Corey Lie's army."
.”
As soon as this statement came out, the generals looked at each other in disbelief.
Jia Zhu advised Meng Gong: "General, our army has been newly defeated, and the morale of our army needs to be restored. At this moment, it is not appropriate to fight again."
Chen Kexi also stood up and said: "Yes, General, and it is more difficult to attack the camp at night. I'm afraid that if you fail to steal the camp, you will be hurt instead."
Chen Fang thought for a while and then stood up and said: "General, our army has just encountered Corellie's army. We don't know its military situation. It's better to observe it for a few days and attack again before it's too late."
"Yeah yeah."
None of the generals agreed to steal the camp at night, which shows that it is really not suitable to start a war at this moment.
However, for them, this is not the time to start a war, but for the Mongolian Communist Party, it is a golden opportunity.
The Mongolian Communist Party looked calm and confident, and said: "Today's new defeat has depleted the morale of our army. Corey must have thought that our army will not attack in the short term, so if our army attacks at this time, it will have unexpected effects."
After the generals heard this, they felt that there was some truth in what they said.
Meng Gong said again: "Bi Nian, Chen Batian, these two people were beaten with sticks by my general in public, and they can no longer fight. They are forward generals, and Corey Lie will despise our army even more because of this. Therefore, at this moment, this general is with me."
Look, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you miss it, it will be difficult to meet again!"
After listening to this, the generals immediately swept away their previous worries and decadence and became full of energy. It can be seen that they have been convinced by the analysis of the Mongolian Communist Party.
Finally, Meng Gong pulled out his sword, shouted loudly, and said: "The generals obey the order, return to the camp to gather troops, and follow my generals to kill the enemy."
"yes."
All the generals knelt down on one knee and responded loudly and vigorously.
An hour later, the Meng Communist Party personally led 12,000 troops out of camp to attack at night, leaving Chen Fang and 3,000 troops behind to support them.
The Mongolian communist army marched quietly all the way. The soldiers had strict military regulations. People had titles and horses had grass in their titles. Anyone who spoke or made a noise was beheaded on the spot. The hooves of the war horses were also wrapped in coarse cloth. They did everything possible to reduce the possibility of being discovered by the enemy.
Because most of the soldiers were from poor backgrounds and the food in the military camps was mediocre, most of the soldiers suffered from night blindness and were unable to see at night.
In order to solve this problem, Meng Gong ordered people to use long ropes to pull them. Everyone held the ropes and carefully followed the people in front.
Most of the people walking at the front were generals or mid-level generals. They had eaten well since childhood and had no night blindness. They led the crowd forward slowly by the faint moonlight.
In this way, although the speed of the army is a bit slower, it is not chaotic.
Corellie's army camp has towers six or seven feet high at the four corners of the camp, which can be used as a distant sight to detect enemy troops as early as possible.
There are three soldiers on duty in a tower on the east side. One of them is sleeping and the other two are talking. From time to time, these two people will look outside.
"Brother, I heard that the king of the country was imprisoned by leader Corelle, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, we are just small soldiers. It is not our turn to worry about big things. Anyway, we will do what the people above us say. If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. What does it have to do with us? If it doesn't work, just do it.
I hid in the mountains because I was afraid of ghosts."
