However, Zhao Hongrun did not feel sleepy at all. Under the protection of the Zong Guards and King Su Guards, he looked at the battle situation in the southwest from an unknown small hill in the northeast of Mengshan Mountain.
Fighting at night has been a taboo in battlefields since ancient times, but it is undeniable that what appears in front of Zhao Hongrun's eyes at this moment is a stream of fire as bright as a galaxy.
That is the scenery presented by countless torches.
The Wei and Chu armies, as many as 100,000 enemy soldiers and our own soldiers, held torches and fought with the enemy troops, creating this rare night scene.
But behind this night scene, countless lives were quietly passing away.
There is a legend in the Wei State that as many people as there are on the ground, there are as many stars in the sky; for every person missing from the ground, one star in the night sky disappears.
Zhao Hongrun naturally sneered at such absurd legends.
But right now, each time one of the countless torches that formed a stream of fire in the distance was extinguished, it really represented the demise of a living life.
"There should be...nothing left behind, right?"
With the mood of worrying about gains and losses, Zhao Hongrun slowly closed his eyes, and a sand table like the entire battlefield emerged in his mind.
The movements of Mengshan Chu Camp, Doulian Army, Nanmen Jue, Nanmen Huai, Fenxing Army, Yanling Army, and Shang Shui Army clearly appeared in the imaginary sandbox in Zhao Hongrun's mind.
I have to say that this is the benefit of strong memory.
Because Zhao Hongrun possesses the talent of an absolute memory, he can "move" the map of this area into his mind in detail, and use scouts to continuously report the movements of the enemy and our armies, simulating the battle situation in his mind in real time.
This ability that he once didn't take seriously, and even thought was a burden because of Mi Jiang's incident, showed extraordinary help at this moment.
But having said that, as a coach with scumbag force, Zhao Hongrun has done everything he should do and created an excellent opportunity for Wei Jun. The rest depends on Xu Yin, Qu Cheng, and Yan Mo.
, Wu Ji is waiting for the main battle general.
There was nothing he could do to help.
On the other hand, Zongwei Lu Mu seemed to have noticed His Highness's loneliness at the moment, and smiled softly and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry, with your clever calculation, General Xu Yin and the others will be able to successfully surround and kill Nanmen Jue.
The army of Men and Huai..."
"I hope so." Zhao Hongrun nodded gently, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, war is like this, the situation changes rapidly, and you cannot relax until the last moment and until you have victory firmly in your hands.
However, it turned out that Zhao Hongrun was uneasy just because he was thinking too much.
The battle situation currently presented to him was that Chu General Doulian led his army back to the Chu camp in Mengshan. He was busy preventing the chaos in the camp and had no time to pay attention to the melee at the bottom of the mountain; while in the plain area south of Mengshan, the Fenxing army
The three Wei armies, the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army, were taking advantage of the gap that Mengshan had no time to take care of, and were flanking the 40,000 Xiangcheng Chu Army of Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai brothers.
The victory of the entire war is gradually tilting towards the Wei army.
"Please, General Xu Yin!"
Looking at the stream of fire in the distance, Zhao Hongrun said secretly.
At the same time, in the stream of fire that was as bright as a galaxy, Xu Yin, the general of the Fenxing Army, had already gone into battle in person with weapons in hand. While going into battle with his guards to kill the enemy, he was constantly dispatching troops to ensure that the south was conquered.
Menjue, the south gate of Huaisi Wanxiang City was surrounded by Chu troops, not giving the latter a chance to escape.
The most dazzling general in the vicinity is probably Cai Qinhu, the general of Fenxing Army's Western Wei Camp.
This bandit leader who once dominated the mountains near Shangcai is like a ghost on the battlefield. He is seen wielding an iron spear as thick as a child's arm and riding a horse to kill. Although he is calling the people behind him, The guards were frightened, fearing that the old man would be injured in the melee, but it also had a certain impact on the morale of the Chu army in Xiangcheng.
"Happy! So happy!"
With a sweep of the iron spear, several Chu soldiers were knocked to the ground and flew away. Cai Qinhu's eyes turned red and he shouted happily.
It's no wonder, after all, in the past ten years or so, the Fenxing Army's mission was only to guard Fenxing Fortress, and during this period, they only focused on defense in dealing with the attack of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
Except for the Fenxing Army's cooperation with Zhao Hongrun in marching south to attack Chu two years ago, was there any other exciting war?
"It's a pity that our Fenxing army has no cavalry..."
During the fight, Cai Qinhu thought of this moment and couldn't help but secretly said it was a pity.
Because if his Fenxing army had a cavalry at this moment, wouldn't it be easier to confuse the Chu army in front of him?
Unfortunately, although Sanchuan has now surrendered to the Wei State, the number of Wei's war horses has not increased significantly. After all, those war horses have been assigned to Bosile's Northern Sichuan Cavalry.
However, in two years' time, Wei's war horse reserves will obviously increase significantly.
By then, Cai Qinhu no longer needs to envy the Junshui Army, Dangshan Army, and Chenggao Army. Their Fenxing Army can also organize their own cavalry.
But now, he can still only lead his own powerful soldiers named "Brave Team" to disrupt the Chu army.
But in fact, to put it bluntly, neither the Wei army nor the Chu army has any so-called formations at the moment, and both sides are fighting each other.
Cai Qinhu's current responsibility is to destroy the Chu soldiers who have organized arrays in the Chu army and defeat their defenses, so that the Fenxing army behind him can kill these enemy soldiers.
But as he kept killing, he had already strayed from his goal.
No, the guards behind him have shouted several times: "Wrong, wrong, we are not responsible there... ugh!"
Thinking about it, those personal guards were almost crying.
How could these two legs catch up to the four hooves of Cai Qinhu's dismounted war horse?
At this time, Cai Qinhu went deeper and deeper into the Chu army. Suddenly, his eyes lit up because he saw a general who was also riding a war horse.
I saw that although the general seemed young, he was quite strong. He slashed left and right with the sharp sword in his hand, and I don't know how many soldiers died in his hands.
"What a good opponent!"
Cai Qinhu's eyes shone brightly, he pressed his legs between the horse's belly and rushed over, turning the iron gun in his hand towards the opponent.
At this time, the young warrior turned his head when he heard the sound, and Cai Qinhu clearly saw a trace of confusion on his face.
Suspicious in his heart, Cai Qinhu put back some of his strength in time.
"clang!"
The iron spear in Cai Qinhu's hand was blocked by the young fierce general with his sword.
"Fenxing Army?" the young general asked doubtfully.
Cai Qinhu was stunned for a moment, and then he carefully identified the armor on the general in front of him, and the style of armor on the soldiers nearby, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.
They are actually friendly forces!
"Shang...Shang Shuijun?" Cai Qinhu licked his lips and asked.
It’s no wonder that Cai Qinhu could recognize the armor of the Shang Shui Army. After all, due to the outbreak of the war between Qi, Lu, Wei and the Three Kingdoms against Chu, the private arms transaction between Su Wang Zhao Hongrun and Chu Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo naturally ended. Therefore, the Shang Shui Army still wore The armor inherited from the Junshui Army is easy to identify.
"Shang Shui Army, Wu Ji." The young fierce general introduced himself with clasped fists.
Seeing this, Cai Qinhu also clasped his fists and introduced himself: "It turns out to be General Wu Ji of the Shangshui Army... I am Cai Qin, the camp general of the Fenxing Army's Western Wei Camp."
"Oh, that's the fierce general known as Cai Qinhu..."
That young fierce general, no, should be the Shang Shui Army general Wu Ji said with a smile.
"Where is it?" Cai Qinhu laughed naively, and then asked: "Is the Shang Shui army encircling Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai's Xiangcheng Chu army?"
"That's right!" Wu Ji nodded, and then asked curiously: "According to Wu's knowledge, this area should be the area in charge of our Shang Shui Army. General Cai, what are you... By the way, where are the soldiers under your command? "
Cai Qinhu was not a stupid person. After hearing this, he immediately knew that he had defeated the Chu army, and they all ran to the Shang Shui army.
"This..." He scratched his head awkwardly.
Wu Ji took a closer look at this fierce general of the Fenxing Army and saw that his armor was bright red, his eyes were still slightly red and bloodshot, and he didn't understand why, so he smiled and said: "If you don't give up, general, I wish you could Would you like to lend a helping hand to my army and trade with my navy to fight back?"
"As you wish!" Cai Qinhu said with great interest upon hearing this.
The two hit it off immediately, and together with the Shang Shui army under their command, they attacked the Chu army. Cai Qinhu and Wu Ji personally acted as the vanguard of the large army, piercing the Chu army like two sharp blades.
During this period, the Shangshui Army successively joined forces with Yanmo, Qucheng, Zuoxun, Huayu, Gongye, Zuoqiu and other generals of the Yanling Army, and then encountered Deng Peng and Dong Peng of the Zhongwei Battalion of the Fenxing Army. Chu Xuan, who was guarding the camp, had a tacit understanding with each other to surround and kill the Chu army.
Pity Nanmen Jue, Nanmen Huai and his brothers' 40,000 Chu troops were attacked from three sides. It was difficult to take care of the head and tail. They were defeated by three Wei armies.
What's terrible is that the three Chu armies fought and outflanked each other, leaving Nanmen aware that Nanmen Huai's brothers had no way to escape and had no choice but to force a breakout.
Unfortunately, the Wei generals had already expected that Nanmen Jue and Nanmen Huai brothers were going to escape, blocking their retreat.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
As Wei's soldiers began to shout this slogan, it meant that the melee was coming to an end.
At the same time, in the Mengshan Chu camp, the guard Doulian had already extinguished the fire in the camp, but he could not kill many of the spies who had infiltrated among his soldiers, let alone capture them alive.
After all, Duan Pei of the Green Crows was not stupid. When he saw Dou Lian leading a large group of troops back to the military camp, he immediately sent a signal to the Green Crows to evacuate in advance.
Except for a few Qingya people who had no chance to escape due to timing and could only continue to hide among the Chu soldiers, or were spotted by Chu soldiers during the evacuation and killed them on the spot, most of the others had already evacuated Mengshan. Chu camp.
After that, Duan Pei sent someone to deliver a verbal message to Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the merchant navy who was responsible for protecting them. So the latter also withdrew the thousands of merchant navy troops from Mengshan Mountain, leaving only Doulian and his subordinates. The nearly ten thousand Chu troops were staring at each other in the barracks.
"Wei Jun...what are you doing?"
In the silent military camp, a Chu general couldn't help but mutter.
However, no one spoke, because almost everyone here was confused: Didn't it mean that the Wei army stormed the military camp? How come it was just a feint in the end?
At this moment, Dou Lian, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and the look of horror on his face became more and more intense.
