For Yang Sheng, the tragic defeat of Huerman and the arrival of the border army also brought advantages.
Originally, Yang Sheng was struggling to find Li Tian's traces, but was troubled by Li Tian's guerrilla tactics. The actions of the 100,000-strong army here also gave Yang Sheng guidance. The scouts quickly followed the horse's hoof prints passed by the army.
They found the location of Li Tian's camp.
Yang Sheng's reputation as Ghost Military Advisor is not unearned. He may not be as good as Chaodu in terms of military quality, but Yang Sheng is indeed superior to others in the use of wisdom.
This time, Yang Sheng made full use of his numerical advantage. Zhao Ji and Chen Yuan led a hundred thousand troops to call for formation. But when they were still thirty miles away from Li Tian's camp, they divided their troops into two groups. Zhao Ji
With an army of 60,000 in ambush, Chen Yuan only led 40,000 troops to Li Tian's camp. His purpose was to lure Li Tian's army to the ambush place.
Originally, the Bird Tribe could use the birds in the air as scouts to monitor Yang Sheng's army from a long distance. The Bird Tribe also got news of the army's movements, but the birds in the air did not know how to count. They could only scold them at close range.
Only then did the marquis discover that Chen Yuan only had an army of 40,000 men. They were not aware of the 60,000 men and horses who were ambushing them halfway. The Birds tribe thought that it was just this group of troops that had been moving. Yang Sheng did not know that the people of the Six tribes had this special ability.
The army was divided into two, and it was a coincidence that it actually deceived the bird tribe's reconnaissance.
This mistake caused the veteran Yuan Xu to be trapped in a sea of people. Zhao Ji ordered the archers to fire thousands of arrows, and the main target was Yuan Xu, the general of Chaodu. Zhao Ji also gave a death order, even if he accidentally injured one of his own, he would kill him.
The enemy general killed him. During the melee, Yuan Xu was hit by several arrows. The old general chopped down several enemy soldiers, and finally he was shot to death by random arrows.
In Li Tian's camp, when he learned that Yuan Xu had defeated the enemy and pursued him, not many people cared. Everyone was still immersed in the joy of victory. After a while, Li Tian received a report from the scouts, saying that Yuan Xu's
The army was besieged by the enemy and fell into an ambush. Only then did Li Tian feel that the situation was a bit serious, and quickly ordered Guo Jing to lead 30,000 troops to respond.
Yuan Xu's army immediately fell into chaos as soon as the leader died. No matter how strong the fighting force was, once it lost effective command, it became a mess. The soldiers did not flee, but continued to fight hard in the chaos.
When Guo Jing's army arrived, Yuan Xu's men and horses were already very few. Facing a hundred thousand enemy troops, Guo Jing did not dare to rely on his strength. He rushed out of a gap and rescued the remaining men. Zhao Ji immediately turned around and returned to the camp.
He did not order a pursuit. This beautiful ambush had already made these coalition soldiers very happy. Zhao Ji also knew that there would be no results if he continued the pursuit, so he directly ordered the troops to return to the camp.
Everyone in Li Tian's camp was devastated by the news of Yuan Xu's death. In this short period of time, not only did they lose the veteran Yuan Xu, but they also lost more than 20,000 Chaodu brothers. The joy in the camp just now,
It was replaced by a kind of sadness and resentment.
"General Yuan, I'm sorry for you. This is all my fault. I blame Li Tian for being too careless." Li Tian shed sad tears sadly.
"Li Tian, I want to take people to take revenge. This bastard Yang Sheng, I am not done with you." The magic stick also roared.
"Lord Li Tian, we want to avenge General Yuan!"
"Kill all those bastards~"
The soldiers also shouted, and the tragic lesson made the blood of these border soldiers boil.
"Brothers, don't be impulsive! Since it is a war, there will be death, and no one can guarantee that he will survive every battle. This lesson illustrates a problem, showing that Yang Sheng is still a tiger, not a goat
.As long as there is a trace of carelessness, he will open his bloody mouth and swallow us. Now I order the commanders of each team to strictly restrain their own troops, and the reconnaissance scope of the scouts will be doubled. Officers above the staff general,
Come to my big tent immediately to discuss countermeasures."
Li Tian knew that now was not the time to feel sad. Facing an opponent like Yang Sheng, he could not let down his guard at all times.
Yuan Xu's loss caused Li Tian to lose another available general. Now Li Tian divided the army into two parts. One group was led by him personally, while the other group was led by the female general Zhang Guihua.
Li Tian had no choice. Originally, he wanted to ask Guo Jing to lead another army. But Zhang Guihua was unwilling to do so and insisted on being the commander. The magic stick became her deputy in name only.
A great victory also made Yang Sheng very happy. What Yang Sheng was happy about was not this small victory, he was happy about Zhao Ji's use of troops and horses in this operation. He did not get carried away at the moment of victory.
He led his troops to pursue Guo Jing. This is the most gratifying thing about Yang Sheng.
"General Zhao, you deserve the most credit for this battle, and my military advisor will definitely ask for credit for you." Yang Sheng looked at Zhao Ji with relief.
"Master Military Advisor, Li Tian has suffered such a big loss. I don't think he will let it go. We still need to pay more attention to the situation around us."
Yang Sheng was also a little surprised by Zhao Ji's calmness. Such a talented person was buried by the Wu Gang.
"General Zhao is right. Li Tian is expected to take action in the next two days. We couldn't find any trace of him in the past few days. Now that his troops at the border have arrived, they are likely to start a head-on confrontation with us.
Conflict. Li Tian is a man of many tricks, and we have to be on guard against some things. Pass my order, and each battalion will send additional night patrols, and the scouts will double the distance for reconnaissance."
In this desert land, the two armies started to confront each other. Both sides came and went, winning or losing. During this period, Li Tian and others also knew the name Zhao Ji. Several times, Zhang Guihua and
The magic stick almost fell into the hands of Zhao Ji. Li Tian was a little anxious. His army supplies were purchased from Jiangxia, and Yang Sheng made a fuss about Li Tian's supply line in a targeted manner, which made Li Tian very distressed.
And news continued to come from other battlefields.
Jiangxia's army is in sight of victory, and has forced the Wu Gang's army into the Wu Gang's capital. On the Xinyue side, things are mixed. Prince Chen Yu focuses on defense, while Situ Ying is mobile and flexible, constantly causing trouble for the enemy.
.Although New Moon's troops are not many, they have a team of wizards, which is a huge headache for the coalition forces of Laha and Taji.
In terms of Chaodu, the veteran general Wang Ping adopted a completely defensive strategy. You Qian Fu could occupy all the surrounding small cities, while Wang Ping only retained the defense of a few major capital cities. This made Guihe's army very helpless, Chaozhou
The defensive capabilities of several large capitals defended by the Du army were very strong, and several large-scale attacks by the Guihe army ended in disastrous defeats.
"Osmanthus, stick, I think our opportunity has come." Li Tian analyzed the news coming from everywhere.
"What opportunity? Why didn't I see it?" the magic stick asked Li Tian in confusion.
"Li Tian, I found that the guy named Zhao over at Yang Sheng is not a good guy. The losses we have suffered these few times have been in his hands. One day, if I ask my mother to catch me, I will have to kill him." Zhang Guihua said several times.
Zhao Ji suffered a loss and felt terribly aggrieved.
Now Yang Sheng also often divides his troops into two groups, and he personally leads one group to play against Li Tian head-on. The two of them win or lose each other, which is considered to be an equal match. However, the two magic sticks often play against Zhao Ji, basically
The more you lose, the less you win.
"Osmanthus, I think we have a chance this time. The Jiangxia army is currently besieging the Wu Gang. If Yang Sheng doesn't send troops to rescue, the Wu Gang may not be able to support it. Zhao Ji is the general of the Wu Gang, even if Yang Sheng doesn't go
During the rescue, King Wu will also order Zhao Ji to return his troops. This is a great opportunity. As soon as Zhao Ji's soldiers and horses move, we will join forces and deal with this kid first." Li Tian analyzed it for everyone.
"Okay! I agree very much. If you can kill this kid, you can do whatever you ask me to do." When Zhao Ji was mentioned, the envoy gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Brother Guo, tonight you will lead three thousand berserkers and go around to the border of the Wu Gang to ambush them. I estimate that they will set off in the next two days. This guy Yang Sheng will probably ask Zhao Ji's soldiers to secretly return to the Wu Gang.
He doesn't want us to see that his troops are decreasing. If they move at night, it will be difficult for our scouts to find them. So, once Zhao Ji leads his troops back to the Wu Gang without us knowing, that one
If you can lead the three thousand berserker brothers to block it first, it will be entirely up to you whether you can wait until our army arrives."
Guo Jing nodded calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Li Tian, my brothers and I will do our best to hold them back."
"Well, now we have to separate the soldiers and horses. I am here to attract Yang Sheng's attention. Shengun and Guihua lead their troops and quietly move to the border of the Wu Gang at night. It will take about two hours to get there.
distance. Therefore, the army of magic sticks must keep a distance from Brother Guo. Once they find the target, they must arrive there within half an hour. In the morning, they must sneak back again quietly. We cannot let Yang Sheng discover our intentions.
Of course, this is the worst plan if we don’t know about it. If they were marching during the day, they would basically not escape our reconnaissance.”
"Li Zi, what if Zhao doesn't return to the Wu Gang? Then our call is not in vain." asked the magic stick.
"There is nothing we can do, we can only take a gamble. If he doesn't return to the Wu Gang within these few days, then Jiangxia will basically be able to take over the Wu Gang. I think Zhao Ji must leave within these two days.
"
Li Tian's analysis was good. Zhao Ji was in a very difficult situation now and didn't know what to do. If he were an ordinary general, he would have led his troops back home long ago. But Zhao Ji looked far ahead. He knew that Yang Sheng was here now.
It is also very tight, and there are not many available people around. Once he leads all the troops back to China for support, Yang Sheng's side may not be able to hold on for long. Yang Sheng's defeat is equivalent to the defeat of the entire coalition outside the Pass, and what will happen to the three alliance countries outside the Pass.
A very heavy blow. Therefore, Zhao Ji wanted to disobey the king's order and only led half of his troops back to the country for rescue.
Zhao Ji also knew that half of the troops amounted to about 50,000 troops. If he could save the Wu Gang, he would become a hero in the world. Not only did he save the Wu Gang from crisis, but he could also fight against Li Tian, which was the best of both worlds. Just in case.
If 50,000 people cannot rescue the Wu Gang, then he will become the sinner of the entire Wu Gang.
Zhao Ji came to Yang Sheng's tent and told Yang Sheng what had happened. He wanted to hear Yang Sheng's opinion.
Yang Sheng looked at Zhao Ji and said with a smile: "General Zhao, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, my military advisor has been thinking about this matter for the past two days. I have a plan here that can help you use fifty thousand
The army will still rescue the Wu Gang from crisis."
When Zhao Ji heard this, he quickly asked: "Master Military Advisor, you are the person I, Zhao, admire. If you have any good ideas, please tell me. The last general represents the King of Wu. Thank you, Master Military Advisor."
Yang Sheng smiled slightly and whispered a few words in Zhao Ji's ear. When Zhao Ji heard this, he suddenly understood.
"Master Military Advisor's wonderful plan, I am really in the middle of the game, and the authorities are confused!"
