Long Ying asked him: "Does Mo Chui have any evil intentions towards your sister?"
Wasteland Dance smiled bitterly and said, "What else do they have to say?"
Long Ying said: "After Brother Huang left, Ningyan said that she would include you in her must-kill list. Even if she can escape from the battlefield, her secret warriors will still hunt you down."
Feng Guoting said: "Since the Turks have no affection for Brother Huang, Brother Huang and them should have nothing to do with each other in the future."
Wasteland Dance remained silent, with a sad look in his eyes. Everyone jumped off the horse and let the horse have a good rest. About an hour later, two horses came from the west and rushed into Yingzhou City. Everyone waited patiently, and in less than half an hour, At that time, the city gates opened wide, and hundreds of Khitan warriors swarmed out, looking for the shortcut across Songmo Desert. There were also warriors running out from other city gates, joining the group, and heading in the same direction.
It was already two hours later when the city gate closed.
Wan Renyu said: "How many people?"
Feng Guoting said: "Between 60,000 and 65,000 people."
Huang Yuan Wu said: "No! It should be fifty thousand people, many of them are empty cavalry for changing horses in battle."
Long Ying nodded and said: "Brother Huang saw it accurately. It's successful! It's our turn to attack Yingzhou."
As soon as it got dark, the rain became heavier, and strong winds blew from the bay. More than 300 warships of the Zhou Dynasty Navy sailed from the Bohai Sea into the Bailang River, and headed straight for Yingzhou, unloading various siege tools and over ten thousand people. Soldiers, attack the east, south and west gates at the same time.
Long Ying and the others, as well as the Condor Army, swam across the moat early. First, Long Ying and the other four used strong bows and arrows to crush the will of the defenders on the city, and then climbed up the city using ladders.
Long Ying took the lead and rushed to the wall, shouting "Dragon Eagle is coming". Jie Tian Bang killed everyone on sight without mercy. Wan Renyu and the other three also stood firm on the wall, and there was an endless stream of Shenying troops. Climbing the city wall, the enemy is defeated.
There were less than 3,000 Khitan warriors left in the city, and the other nearly 10,000 were old, weak, women and children. Who were the opponents of the Divine Eagle Army? They were captured at the east gate. When the suspension bridge was lowered, the Zhou army swarmed in, and the Khitan people followed in panic. The North City Gate, which had not yet been besieged, escaped.
In less than two hours, Yingzhou City returned to the hands of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Turks' 20,000 elites, as Wilderness Dance expected, lost faster and more miserably.
The army leader Kuixin was ambushing the east exit of the Songmo shortcut. Because he knew the marching route of the Dragon Eagle Army in advance, he was well prepared and opened multiple hiding spots in the nearby mountains and dense forests. Hiding 20,000 soldiers secretly could avoid them. The spies of the Zhou army are more powerful than others, and they are sure to avoid the eyes of the eagle high in the sky.
As long as the Zhou army enters the shortcut, they will enter a position at a suitable distance from the top of the slope. At the critical moment when less than half of them leave the shortcut, they will attack from the left and right. The main force in front will directly attack, with twice the superior force, against the Zhou army. The army launched a devastating attack.
The entire operation was flawless and flawless.
Little did they know that the Zhou army, which broke out of camp every morning, spent a day outside the west exit and sent people to set up defenses at the exit, with no intention of taking a shortcut.
The Turks were still not alert. They thought that after marching for days, they would take a day's rest and recuperate their spirits before taking a shortcut and entering the Khitan's sphere of influence.
Unexpectedly, at midnight, the Khitan people suddenly attacked in large numbers, causing chaos and a dilemma.
The Khitans were indeed outstanding warriors. They were only five or six miles away from the Turks when they were alarmed by the Turks. They launched a full-scale attack and attacked with overwhelming force.
Kuixin, the commander of the army, suddenly thought and led his army into the shortcut. His wishful thinking was to take advantage of the Zhou army being caught off guard, and with the cover of night, with strong troops, superior horse shooting and night fighting skills, he could just break through the gap and escape. To the west of the Zhou camp, the Khitan people will follow like wolves and tigers, and they will have a head-on confrontation with the Zhou army, while they will reap the benefits of the others.
How did you know that before they reached the west exit, hundreds of logs rolled down the hillsides on both sides, and arrows rained down from the front and the left and right hillsides. The Zhou army used the poisonous trick that the Turks wanted to inflict on them, and used it on the Turks. .
The Turks immediately suffered heavy casualties and fell into chaos. They had to turn around and rush to the east exit to engage in a fierce battle with the Khitans, who were twice as strong as them and were well prepared and eager for revenge.
In the dark night, the Khitan people were so capable of killing that they had no time to care about who the other party was. Seeing that the situation was not good, the military leader Kuixin, together with the powerful secret tribe warriors and five thousand people of his own tribe, successfully broke through and escaped to the north. Others Almost all the people were wiped out, and only a few hundred people escaped.
As expected by Long Ying, Sun Wanrong set up an ambush in the area heading to the new city. After he informed him with beacon fire, he attacked Kuixin and Ningyan head-on. Finally, Ningyan defeated Kuixin in the army and more than thirty secret soldiers. Under the desperate protection of ethnic and Turkic warriors, they broke through and escaped.
The Turks suffered heavy losses in this battle, losing 20,000 elites, which made it difficult for them to achieve much in the short term. Sun Wanrong was not much better, losing more than 8,000 people, which reduced the strength of the army from more than 52,000 to 44,000. Thousands of people, not counting the wounded and the losses of soldiers who were captured by Yingzhou. It was not until the people who escaped from Yingzhou reported to him the bad news that Yingzhou was captured that he woke up from a dream and knew that he had been hit by a dragon eagle and borrowed a knife to kill someone. A plan to kill two birds with one stone. With his strength, he was so frightened that he lost his mind and led the crowd to flee back to the new city.
When Lou Shide and others received the news, they cheered and informed other armies to advance towards Yingzhou at full speed.
Fang Jun's 10,000 elite troops were able to pass through the Jiedao without losing a single person. They set up extensive fortifications at strategic locations outside the Jiedao and put the Jiedao under absolute control.
In less than ten days, the Zhou army had pushed the battle line from the Great Wall hundreds of miles to the north. Sun Wanrong, who had once been so powerful, was now at the end of his rope, with no resources left and no way out.
Yingzhou, Dudu's Mansion, Internal Council Hall.
Lou Shide, Zhang Jiujie, Guo Yuanzhen, Yang Xuanji, Fang Jun, Wan Renyu, Feng Guoting and Long Ying held the most important confidential meeting after the recapture of Yingzhou.
The Wilderness Dance is always for outsiders and cannot participate.
Lou Shide said with emotion: "Before Yingye came, every time I held a meeting, I was worried that there would be missing some familiar faces. Only today, I don't have this worry at all."
Wan Renyu said: "We must take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack the Khitan New City. With our current military strength, we can besiege the new city heavily, leaving Sun Wanrong with no way to escape."
Yang Xuanji said with a smile: "I want to listen to Master Ying's instructions."
Long Ying smiled and said: "Sun Wanrong has no way to escape. The south is blocked by us, and the north is where he just killed 20,000 elite Turks. No one in Xi or Ping dares to take him in. However, his subordinates are capable of fighting. There are still 40,000 people, plus Xincheng and Songmo Governor's Mansion, it is impossible that they are not capable of fighting. People say that you should not pursue a poor enemy, but I think it is not worth sacrificing a large number of soldiers for him."
He added: "I want to win, but I want to win beautifully, with little effort, without spending any effort, and I have to make plans for the long-term future."
Then Xiang Wan Renyu smiled and said: "Taking it as a chess game, it is now the final stage of the final move. Although the overall situation is determined, if we occupy the larger territory at the end and gain more advantage, the outcome of the victory will be greatly changed."
Wan Renyu felt comfortable and laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are insinuating that my chess skills are poor. When will we have a decisive battle on the chessboard to see who is higher and who is lower?"
Lou Shide said: "By the way, I would like to remind Mr. Ying that you'd better write down the process of recovering Yingzhou in the past two days, and let me send it back to the gods for the Holy One to read. She said that reading your report is like hearing someone say that it is exciting.
s story."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.
Feng Guoting said: "Long Xiaozi is very good at telling stories, otherwise he wouldn't be able to coax so many beautiful ladies into his arms. We should all learn from him in this aspect."
Lou Shide sighed: "After returning to the city of gods, I will definitely go to Fanghua Pavilion and live a good life in a hazy state."
Turning to Zhang Jiujie, he said, "The Holy Emperor wants to promote you to Chengdu as the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy. Are you interested, Jiujie?"
Zhang Jiujie was overjoyed. He left his seat and knelt down towards the south, shouting "Thank you Lord for your kindness".
The atmosphere became even more heated. Although Yang Xuanji and others had not found anything yet, they all knew that Wu Zhaolong was very happy and would not treat them lightly.
Wan Renyu said to Long Ying: "I'm trying to hide myself again. Tell me now."
Long Ying calmly asked: "Assuming we continue to advance, what will Sun Wanrong do? How will the Turks and Xi people react?"
Rao Le is located to the west of Yingzhou, across the Tuhuzhen River, and his intentions are very important in the war to annihilate Sun Wanrong.
Yang Xuanji is a man who is proficient in military affairs. He said: "Sun Wanrong will never let us besiege his new city. Instead, he will fight against the city. With his familiarity with the mountains and rivers, he will fight us fiercely with clever tactics and strategies."
A desperate counterattack. Once we are eager to win, we will fall into his trap."
Feng Guoting smiled and said: "Fortunately, Master Ying is more cunning than him!"
Everyone was laughing wildly uncontrollably.
Long Ying scolded: "You kid, you took the opportunity to harm me. But I am indeed not a good person, which led Sun Wanrong to fully counterattack, so that Mo Chuke could vent his anger on his new city."
Guo Yuanzhen nodded and said: "This is the best plan."
Long Ying said with admiration: "Lao Guo and Zhang Jianzhi were indeed right about you, brother. Among all of us, you are the most calm-minded. On the surface, you don't seem to have any outstanding achievements, all because you never make mistakes.
, everything entrusted to you will be handled properly, and you will never be in a hurry to achieve meritorious service or performance. If Mr. Lou does not object, I would like to completely entrust the command of dealing with Sun Wanrong to Mr. Guo."
Everyone, including Guo Yuanzhen, looked at him in surprise, asking what he would do.
Long Ying continued: "I still leave Mr. Feng to serve your brother. With his divine eagle, Sun Wanrong's people can't hide. Your military goal is to force Sun Wanrong to fight in the plains, which they think they are best at.
At that time, Sun Wanrong's death date has also come."
Then he said in a deep voice: "I will never let Sun Wanrong have a fair chance to fight."
Wan Renyu couldn't help but said: "What are you doing yourself?"
Long Ying said: "I want to wipe out all the soldiers who came to attack Xincheng in Mochu, so that they will not dare to go south for a long time, so as to gain precious time for us to deploy calmly."
Zhang Jiujie frowned and said: "His 20,000 elite troops were attacked by us and the Khitans from the front and back. The whole army was exhausted, silently saying that it was a dumb man eating Coptis chinensis. He knows the pain and cannot blame us. But if we openly attack the Turks,
This will make it impossible for him to step down, and the issue can only be resolved through all-out war, which is something the Holy One has always wanted to avoid. Please think twice, Lord Ying."
