————The following text————
Right now, it is early August, and the moonlight is not clear. A new moon with hazy moonlight shines on the land, making the land under the night sky seem to be covered with a layer of mist, making it even harder to see.
True.
Suddenly, Dou Lian's expression changed slightly, because he vaguely seemed to hear something.
The sounds that sounded like fighting, various noisy human voices, and the sound of weapons touching each other seemed to have occurred in the downwind area.
"That direction..."
Doulian turned his head to look south suspiciously. After rolling his eyes slightly for a while, he was finally able to confirm the facts he heard.
Wei general Xu Yin is attacking Nanmen Jue on the south side. The Xiangcheng Chu army led by Nanmen Huai's brothers!
The two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai mentioned here are the two Chu generals who sent troops from Xiangcheng around the day to lead their troops to support the Mengshan Chu camp who was fighting against Lian.
The two brothers each led 20,000 Chu troops and attacked the Fenxing Army's Zhongwei camp from both sides during the day, which once put Xu Yin in a dilemma.
It wasn't until Qu Cheng led the Yanling Army to arrive, and his deputy general Yan Mo led a battalion to share the pressure on the Zhongwei Battalion, that General Deng Peng of the Fenxing Army's Zhongwei Battalion breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xu Yin... why did he attack the two brothers Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai? Shouldn't he be the first to attack me, Mengshan?"
Dou Lian looked suspicious.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Chuipeng felt that Xu Yin's judgment was not wrong: Mengshan, which he was guarding by Doulian, had the strong Mengshan Chu Camp as a defensive cover. It was certainly difficult to conquer; and the South Gate
I feel that the two Chu armies facing the city in Huainan Gate, like Wei's Fenxing and Yanling armies, have no effective defense facilities.
In this case, it is natural to pick the soft persimmon.
But the question is, what attitude should he adopt to fight for integrity?
Indifferent and stand by and watch? Or send troops to support Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai's two brothers?
According to common sense, since Wei general Xu Yin attacked Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai's two brothers, Doulian's side would naturally send troops to respond and put pressure on the Wei army here. The so-called diversion in the art of war is not
Is it just for this purpose?
But deep down in his heart, Doulian always felt that Xu Yin's attack on Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai's two brothers was actually to induce him to lead his army down the mountain.
The surroundings at this moment were pitch black, and Dou Lian could not guarantee whether there was a Wei army quietly lurking under the dark night, preparing to ambush him, or take advantage of the situation to attack Mengshan.
But if you just sit back and wait until you see Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai again in the future, wouldn't it be difficult to explain?
After thinking for a while, Doulian raised his hand and pointed to the dark plain at the foot of the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Ji, lead three thousand people to attack in that direction."
Zhang Ji is the name of the middle-aged lieutenant beside Dou Lian.
After hearing the words, Zhang Ji immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order. Not long after, he led a Chu army to leave the Mengshan Chu camp and kill in the direction pointed by Dou Lian.
Doulian himself, however, was still standing on the watchtower, gazing attentively at the dark night in the distance.
Although it is pitch black in the distance, it is undeniable that sometimes, you don’t need to use your eyes to understand the battle situation, you can also rely on your voice.
It's just that the wind is blowing from the west tonight, and Mengshandi is at the upper hand of the entire battlefield, so Dou Lian needs to concentrate to hear some movements downwind.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the sound of fighting to be heard from the direction where Lieutenant General Zhang Ji led his army.
This suddenly lifted Dou Lian's mood.
"Did the two armies encounter each other? Or was they ambushed?"
Doulian guessed with a serious expression.
Although he was sure that Lieutenant General Zhang Ji would be very cautious in this situation, it did not mean that the latter would not be ambushed by the Wei army.
It wasn't until Dou Lian listened carefully for a while and felt that the sound coming from the position of Lieutenant General Zhang Ji was the normal sound of fighting when the two armies encountered each other, that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because as long as they were not ambushed by the Wei army and succeeded in a sneak attack, Dou Lian believed that the three thousand men led by Zhang Ji could at least fight against the Chu state for a while.
But to Doulian's surprise, just a quarter of an hour later, his deputy general Zhang Ji sent a message asking for help.
What surprised Dou Lian even more was that during this period, he also received requests for assistance from two brothers, Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai'na: he hoped that Dou Lian could send troops to assist them in attacking the Wei army.
It has to be said that after receiving these three messages, Dou Lian was greatly surprised and looked into the dark distance with a look of disbelief.
He originally thought that Xu Yin attacked Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai's two brothers to lure him to fight Lian and lead his army down the mountain. However, he did not expect that Xu Yin's attack on the former was very fierce, as if he was going to destroy Nanmen in that night.
Suddenly, Nanmen Huai's army was destroyed.
"Hey, hey, old dog Xu Yin, are you looking down on Doumou too much?"
Dou Lian couldn't help but feel a little angry.
If Wei general Xu Yin was really allowed to defeat Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai's two brothers' army under his nose, then where would he show his fighting face?
Thinking of this, Doulian immediately ordered 7,000 troops, ordered the rest of the soldiers to guard the camp, and then led the army down the mountain.
He no longer wanted to analyze Xu Yin's true intentions. Anyway, in his opinion, as long as he, Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai attacked Xu Yin from three sides, with their 50,000 troops, would it really be impossible to suppress the Fenxing Army and the Yanling Army?
A mere 35,000 troops?
"Hmph! The real army of Da Chu is the civilian army that you have encountered before?"
Dou Lian sneered secretly.
It has to be said that when Dou Lian led 7,000 soldiers and merged with his deputy Zhang Ji, it indeed put a considerable amount of pressure on the Wei army.
After all, the Wei army was fighting on two fronts. To the northwest, they had to deal with the attack of Doulian and his deputy Zhang Ji, while to the south, they had to attack the two Chu armies of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai.
If it were during the day, I believe Xu Yin would not be so worried. After all, he knew the strength of his Fenxing Army best. As for the friendly Yanling Army, although he did not know it very well, he also knew that the Yanling Army was trying to catch up with the Shang Shui Army.
, have been training every day for more than a year, and can be regarded as an army with good combat capabilities.
But it is a pity that this battle took place at night, a night that was not suitable for fighting in the first place.
For example, the soldiers who are fighting at this moment, whether they are the Chu army or the Wei army, seem to have their hands tied and cannot display their due strength at all.
In this case, the party with more people will naturally occupy an absolutely advantageous situation.
But even so, Xu Yin's heart was still very calm.
Because in his opinion, since Zhao Hongrun sent troops to Longji Mountain and successfully ignited the hills, it meant that His Highness King Su not only saw through the intention of "the Chu army in Longji Mountain wanted to send troops to cut off the retreat of their Wei army",
And gave Longji Mountain revenge.
In this case, how could His Royal Highness King Su and the Shang Shui Army under his command just stay there and wait for the arrival of the Chu Army in Longji Mountain?
They must have evacuated one step early, allowing the Chu army to escape.
So, where did His Highness Prince Su go with the Shang Shui Army?
"Perhaps at this moment, His Highness King Su and Shang Shuijun have already arrived at Mengshan quietly..."
Glancing at the seemingly peaceful Meng Shan, Xu Yin stroked his beard.
Not to mention, Xu Yin is really good at judging people, and he has already seen through that Zhao Hongrun is not a peaceful person.
The "pace" mentioned here refers to the fact that when Zhao Hongrun leads his troops to fight, he will not rigidly follow the tactics recorded in the military book, but will choose to use some strategies that are suitable for the current situation, and some may even seem to make the
A jaw-dropping tactic.
For example, the fire at Longji Mountain was set off by Zhao Hongrun, who sent three thousand-man troops led by the three most valiant Shang Shui armies, Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng, to Longji Mountain.
And does this have any significance for the West Road battlefield?
You must know that Longji Mountain was not on the Wei army's advance route. It was not a Chu army stronghold that the Wei army had to conquer and eradicate. The biggest task of the Chu army in Longji Mountain was to counteract Fu Lisi and specifically target Qi King Lu Xi's subordinates.
The Qilu Allied Forces were not targeting the Wei Army.
At present, the fire in Longji Mountain is raging, and it is burning more and more fiercely under the blowing of the west wind at night. This can certainly make the other guard on Longji besides Nangong Yang, Zi Cheji, busy with the destruction. He is so busy that it also makes Qi King Lu Xi see
Longji Mountain had no time to support Fu Lisei for a short period of time, so they took the opportunity to send troops to attack Fu Lisei.
But in the final analysis, does this mean anything to the West Route battlefield where the Wei army is located?
To be honest, it doesn't make much sense.
It was nothing more than a childish revenge move by Zhao Hongrun because he was dissatisfied that Nangong Yang of Longji Mountain led his army to attack his Shang Shui Army. In order to avoid serious losses, Zhao Hongrun did not want to let the Shang Shui Army and the Chu army led by Nangong Yang
The army fought in the dark and had to give up the simple camp to the latter, but they were unhappy, so they took the opportunity to send three teams of thousands of people and let them sneak into the Longji Mountain area and set fire to them, dreaming of burning a group of people on the Longji Mountain to death.
Chu army.
He didn't feel bad about handing over the simple camp that had just been surrounded by a fence to Nangong Yang, nor did he feel bad about the military tents in the camp. As long as he had a chance to conquer Mengshan this time, what was a simple Wei camp?
Yes, as Xu Yin guessed, Zhao Hongrun led the Shang Shui Army to escape. While Nangong Yang led tens of thousands of Chu troops to attack the Wei camp, he had already quietly arrived to the north of Mengshan and hid with the Shang Shui Army.
In the forest about seven or eight miles away from Mengshan.
Zhao Hongrun had seen the Mengshan Chu Camp once with his generals when he arrived in this area. The Mengshan Chu Camp, which was as solid as a fortress, had already been firmly imprinted in his mind.
To be honest, the defense facilities of Mengshan Chu Camp are indeed complete. It can be said that it is a military camp that cannot be conquered in a short time. As long as there are enough Chu troops guarding the camp, it will be difficult for this camp to be conquered in just a few days.
It was captured by the Wei army within a few days.
"If that's the case, then let's skip Mengshan and directly plan for Xiangcheng!"
Zhao Hongrun thought to himself.
He desperately needs a good opportunity.
I don't know how long it took, but several Qingya people quickly came to him and reported urgently: "Your Highness, General Xu Yin is fighting at night with Mengshan and the Chu army in the south."
"Night fight?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
