In the Mengshan Chu Camp, warning drums began to sound throughout the entire military camp.
I think the Chu army officers and soldiers who came to the military camp were not fools. Seeing the fire in their own camp, how could they not guess that the military camp was attacked by the enemy.
But the question is, where are the enemy troops?
Countless soldiers of the Chu army came to the place where the fire was raging with weapons in hand and looked around. However, they did not see any enemy soldiers. Instead, some Tongze who had arrived a step earlier were using weapons they got from unknown sources.
I tried to use the cloth to hit the fire, but instead of extinguishing the fire, the rag caught fire first and scattered fire all over the place.
"Stop! Stop! You idiots!"
A Chu army general with a thousand men couldn't help it anymore, roared and rushed forward, snatched the rag from a soldier's hand, threw it to the ground, stamped it out with his feet, and then faced the soldier
He cursed loudly: "Are you putting out the fire or adding to the flames?"
The soldier glanced timidly at the thousands of generals in front of him, with a look of fear on his face.
Of course, it is unknown what is going on in the heart of this soldier, because this soldier is disguised as Duan Pei, the leader of the Blue Crows.
To be precise, the "idiots" who were clumsily putting out the fires around here were all disguised as Green Crows.
"Damn it!"
The Chu army general cursed loudly, and then asked angrily: "Where are the enemies?"
Duan Pei deliberately pretended to be afraid and said hesitantly in the dialect of Pingyu County, Chu State: "No... I don't know. When we came, it was just... like this."
He spoke very vaguely. After all, although Yangxia was not far from Pingyu County, which gave him the opportunity to learn a few Chu dialects in the past, in the final analysis, he could not guarantee that the dialects spoken by the Chu army were consistent with the dialects spoken by the Chu army.
Is there a difference in what he knows?
Therefore, he deliberately pretended to be frightened and stuttered to minimize the possibility of his accent being revealed.
Fortunately, the Chu army general with a thousand men was in a hurry because his camp was set on fire by someone unknown, and he didn't have the time to recognize Duan Pei's accent. After hearing what the latter said, he immediately cursed: "A bunch of people."
Trash!... Or go find it quickly?!"
This person's last words were directed not only at Duan Pei, but also at all the Chu soldiers nearby, including the more than a hundred Chu soldiers pretending to be Qingya.
Duan Pei was secretly happy because this was like giving him a pillow for sleep, but he resigned in a submissive manner.
The Chu soldiers disguised by the green crows immediately split up and acted. On the surface, they seemed to be running back and forth to warn, but in fact, they set fires along the way from time to time when no one was paying attention, so that the entire Chu soldiers in the Chu camp
Searching everywhere and putting out fires everywhere, not only did they not find the attackers, but they also failed to extinguish the fires in the camp. Instead, the fire situation in the camp became more serious.
At the same time, in the northwest of the Chu camp, in the direction where Duan Pei and others sneaked into the Chu camp, the Shang Navy general Wu Ji and his deputy Zhai Huang were standing in the forest, watching the fire in the Chu camp.
"Duan Pei and those people succeeded." Wu Ji murmured.
Immediately, he couldn't help but praise: "It's incredible, the Blue Crows..."
It's no wonder he praised it so much. After all, if he had led more than a hundred merchant navy troops, he would never have been able to do this.
The veteran Zhai Huang, who was one round older than Wu Ji, did not agree with this, and analyzed very calmly and rationally: "The Chu army is in chaos right now, so Duan Pei and the others were able to fool him, but I believe that as long as it takes a while,
The Chu soldiers in the camp will realize that something is wrong, and by that time, those green crows will be unable to fly... After all, the hidden thieves are just hidden thieves, and sneak attacks are okay, but they cannot replace our soldiers."
Wu Ji smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "That's why I have to help them... Lieutenant General Zhai (Huang), I'll leave it to you here."
"Yes!" Zhai Huang clasped his fists, then raised his weapon and shouted: "Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless Shang Shui soldiers sprang out from the forest, and under the command of Zhai Huang, they attacked in the direction of the Chu camp.
It is undeniable that the Green Crows are the key to this battle, while the Shang Shui Army is temporarily reduced to a supporting role. However, neither Wu Ji nor Zhai Huang takes the Green Crows seriously.
To be precise, they are not worried that the Blue Crows will affect their status in the merchant navy.
The reason is very simple. It is undeniable that the Green Crows are powerful and can do things that their Shangshui soldiers cannot do. But the problem is that the Hidden Thieves are not suitable for direct confrontation with the enemy, unless the opponent is similar to the Hidden Thieves.
team.
Because due to certain restrictions, the Green Crows and other hidden thieves will not wear armor that is too heavy. After all, it will affect their speed. This results in this unit having almost no defensive capabilities, even with the most common bows and crossbows.
, and can easily penetrate their weak armor.
A hundred Green Crows may be able to assassinate a hundred Shangshui soldiers without the latter being prepared, but if they confront each other head-on, the Shangshui soldiers can easily kill the same number of Green Crows, because they
It has strong armor that cannot be penetrated by the short daggers of the Green Crows.
Because of this, even if the Shang Shui Army attacks the Blue Crows this time, the generals of the Shang Shui Army do not think that the latter will become their competitors. After all, the two are not at the same level of arms.
The only competitor of the Shang Shui Army is the Yanling Army!
"This battle must be fought well..."
As Lieutenant General Zhai Huang led his troops to sneak attack the Chu camp in Mengshan, Wu Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Shang Shui Army, walked down the mountain along the way.
Yes, his mission is not to attack the Mengshan Chu camp.
To be precise, his mission as a merchant navy was not the military camp not far away.
The attack target given to them by Zhao Hongrun from the beginning was the Xiangcheng Chu army of Nangong Jue and Nangong Huai!
But it is undeniable that the action of Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army, led the soldiers of the Shangshui Army to attack Mengshan, which caused great panic among the Chu army in the Chu camp of Mengshan.
Because the Chu general Doulian transferred most of the troops in the camp to attack the Fenxing army at the foot of the mountain, the troops in Mengshan's camp at this moment were simply not enough to secure the defense.
Therefore, the Mengshan Chu camp hurriedly sent people to ask for help from the general Dou Lian.
Not long after, this warning message reached the ears of Chu General Doulian.
At this time, Dou Lian was fighting at night with the Fenxing army, killing each other until his eyes were red. Suddenly, he heard that the Mengshan military camp behind him was being attacked, and Dou Lian was immediately stunned.
"How...how is it possible?"
Dou Lian couldn't believe it, because there were three armies of the Wei army, the Fenxing army was fighting against him, and the Yanling army was attacking the two brothers Nangong Jue and Nangong Huai. Are there any other Wei armies nearby?
After a while, Dou Lian's face showed a hint of panic.
"Shang Shui Army? Could it be Shang Shui Army?!...But, why are Shang Shui Army here? Didn't Nangong Yang of Longji Mountain intercept that Wei army?"
For a moment, Dou Lian felt a slight numbness in his scalp.
At first, he didn't want to believe that the fire in Longji Mountain was caused by Wei Jun, but at this moment, all the mysteries were solved: Wei Jun had already seen through his intentions!
"What...what should I do?"
Dou Lian couldn't help but feel a little at a loss. After all, he was currently fighting with the Fenxing Army. If he retreated back to aid the Mengshan Army Camp, he would undoubtedly suffer a defeat.
But the problem is that Mengshan Military Camp has to be saved. It is not only a strategic location to encircle and annihilate the Wei army, but also a favorable stronghold to flank Xiangcheng. Once Mengshan is lost, Xiangcheng's situation will obviously be much more difficult.
"How is Mengshan's situation at the moment?" Dou Lian asked the Chu soldier who came to report with his eyes wide open.
I saw the Chu soldier saying anxiously: "The enemy troops who attacked the military camp are unknown in number. Moreover, the military camp seems to be mixed with enemy spies, harassing and setting fire everywhere. At this moment, the military camp is in chaos..."
Dou Lian subconsciously clenched his fists when he heard this. After several struggles, he gritted his teeth and ordered to Lieutenant General Zhang Ji: "Withdraw! Withdraw to Mengshan!"
"Yes, yes!"
When Lieutenant General Zhang Ji heard that Meng Shan was attacked, he was also panicked and quickly nodded to make arrangements.
Not long after, Mengshan's Chu army retreated across the board. This aroused the vigilance of Fenxing Army's Dongwei camp general Chu Xuan. While he sent his deputy general Bu Qian to lead his army in pursuit, he personally rode to the Chinese army's tent and reported to the general.
Xu Yinqi reported this matter.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Xuan arrived at the Zhongjun tent, Xu Yin was standing outside the tent, smiling and looking in the direction of Meng Shan with his hands behind his back.
"General."
Chu Xuan said hello with a surprised look on his face.
"It's Chu Xuan." Xu Yin turned around and took a look, and said with a smile: "Xu estimated before that you should send someone here... I didn't expect that you came in person."
Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said with confusion on his face: "The general will not understand what the general said."
Hearing this, Xu Yin blinked and said with a smile: "Didn't Dou Lian withdraw his troops?"
"Eh?" Chu Xuan opened his eyes in shock and asked in surprise: "How did the general know about it?"
At this time, Xu Yin nuzzled his lips in the direction of Meng Shan and said with a smile: "Look at Meng Shan."
Chu Xuan turned around and was surprised to find that the Chu camp in Mengshan was on fire at an unknown moment.
He was surprised and asked: "The general sent people to sneak attack Mengshan Chu Camp?"
"I didn't." Xu Yin shook his head.
Chu Xuan was stunned when he heard this. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he said in surprise: "Could it be the Shang Shui Army led by His Royal Highness Prince Su?"
"Haha." Xu Yin stroked his beard, nodded and murmured: "Xu guessed that His Highness would not be so peaceful. No... He is really an amazing young man. That Chu General Doulian thought he
He can plot against my Wei army, but in the eyes of His Highness Prince Su, the intention of fighting against Lian is nothing more than a joke..."
Chu Xuan quietly listened to Xu Yin's praise of Zhao Hongrun, and then said with great interest: "General, let's also attack Mengshan to help His Royal Highness Su Wang!"
"Attack Mengshan?" Xu Yin turned his head and glanced at Chu Xuan, shook his head and said: "No, next, our army will besiege Nanmen Jue, Nanmen Huai's Xiangcheng Chu army!"
"General, you..." Chu Xuan looked at Xu Yin in disbelief.
As if he had guessed Chu Xuan's thoughts, Xu Yin said sternly: "Even we know that Mengshan is not easy to fight, how could His Highness King Su not know about it?... There is only one entrance and exit to the Chu camp in Mengshan, if His Highness King Su really wants to attack by force.
Mengshan should not attack the northwest of Mengshan.
He ignored the east side... He deliberately let Dou Lian return to the camp to ask for help. In other words, the intention of His Highness King Su was not at all the Mengshan Chu camp. In this case, the most likely
That is to say, Nanmenjue in the south, Nanmenhuai has the 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu army..."
Having said this, Xu Yin raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and said in a deep voice: "Just now, Xu has sent an order to General Qu Cheng of the Yanling Army to go south and outflank Nangong Jue and Nangong Huai.
If nothing goes wrong between you two, the Shang Shui Army should fight out from the northwest. By then, our Fenxing Army, Yanling Army, and Shang Shui Army will be able to surround the 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu Army.
