Lu Wen quickly came to Ning Xiaofan and said excitedly to Ning Xiaofan.
As soon as Ning Xiaofan heard Lu Wen's words, he immediately understood what happened. With a smile on his face, he said, "It seems that this Tuoba Jian doesn't have the confidence to lead a group of hungry soldiers to fight."
"A man is a man of iron rice. If he doesn't eat a meal, he will starve. What's more, these soldiers all put in a lot of effort and fought desperately on the battlefield. If he doesn't have a full meal, who will fight for him?" Ye Qing also laughed.
Let's talk.
Ning Xiaofan said: "Okay, now we have to wait for them to fall into the trap on their own. Send the order, all the powerful cannons should be concealed, and all soldiers should act according to the plan. Anyone who dares to make any omissions will be killed without mercy!
"
As soon as Ning Xiaofan said these words, everyone in front of him was shocked.
You must know that this is the first time Ning Xiaofan has issued such a strict military order, and the words "kill without mercy" are even more frightening.
Everyone also understands that the next battle is not only related to future glory and wealth, but also related to the lives and fortunes of everyone present.
In front of them, Ye Qing, Li Hu, Sun Yan, Lei Tian, Lu Wen, etc. all clasped their fists and said yes.
…
Southwest of Sifang Valley.
At this time, the 100,000 elite troops of the Yuan Army were moving forward rapidly. It was already the second day of retreat, and the military rations were almost gone. At this moment, the news that the army was out of food was slowly spreading.
Although these sergeants are all the elite of the Yuan army, it is inevitable for the military morale to fluctuate.
As a marshal, Tuoba Jian naturally knew this.
"Go ahead and speed up the march. We must pass through the Sifang Valley before sunset." Tuoba Jian ordered the people around him.
At this moment, the deputy general next to Tuoba Jian also looked anxious.
"Marshal, the sergeants are already marching very fast, and a rapid retreat will have a bad impact on the army, so it is not appropriate to issue military orders now."
How could Tuoba Jian not know this situation? However, he knew better that the army was almost out of food. If they set up camp again, they would have to make food to survive. However, the food officer had already reported that the army was almost out of food.
No more. Once the soldiers know that there is no food in the army, the army of 100,000 will definitely be in chaos.
That's when the real danger comes.
This is also what Tuoba Jian is most worried about.
"No need to say more, the order is given immediately. Anyone who disobeys the military order will be killed without mercy!"
Tuoba Jian's military orders were extremely strict, so when he said these words, no one dared to stop him. Everyone knew very well that if he continued to stop him, he would really be seeking death.
The 100,000-strong army retreated rapidly. The troops were already in disarray, and because of the sudden order to retreat, all the sergeants were wildly guessing what had happened.
The human heart is the scariest thing. When everyone is thinking about one thing, even if it doesn't exist, it will be made to exist.
What's more, it is a real thing to have no food.
When Tuoba Jian's military order was issued, the Yuan army marched at an incredibly fast pace. Those with horses rode on horseback, while those without horses had to rely on their legs.
Although these are elite sergeants trained by the Yuan Kingdom, after all, these people are made of flesh and blood. Therefore, even these elite sergeants cannot bear it, let alone ordinary people.
However, the Yuan army had strict military discipline, so although the soldiers below were very reluctant, they could only do it.
It has to be said that the Yuan army was indeed much more elite than ordinary army soldiers.
Even in a rapid march, it is much stronger than an ordinary army.
So when these troops arrived at Sifang Valley, the sun was still high.
However, when the army reached the entrance of Sifang Valley, Marshal Tuoba Jian stopped.
"Why did the Marshal stop?"
The deputy general next to him asked quickly.
Tuoba Jian looked inside Sifang Valley, then at Sifang Valley and the hills on the left and right.
"Why do I feel so cold in this Sifang Valley?"
"Is the marshal saying there might be an ambush in Sifang Valley?"
Tuoba Jian said: "It's not impossible."
"But everything north of Anfeng City has been occupied by our army, and every time we move out of a city, we will leave some soldiers to garrison these cities. It is impossible for those Song troops to take it away, and in Anfeng City
There is no trace of the Song army to the north."
"Since there are no things belonging to the Song Army, this will happen to that person and the grain and grass, and all the previous grain guards have also disappeared."
After hearing his words, everyone immediately nodded secretly. It was obvious that everything that had happened before seemed so unusual.
"Marshal, what should we do now?"
"I remember that there were thousands of people running away from the Song Army before, right? Could it be that these thousands of people were responsible for the food and grass incident that happened here before?"
"This is possible, but Marshal, we now have 100,000 elite soldiers in our hands. Although we cannot be divided into those levels, there are at least 80,000 elite soldiers left, and the Song army only has a few thousand people. With such a huge difference, the Song army may be afraid
They will not come looking for death, and these Song troops are all timid and afraid of trouble. They will only do things behind their backs and will never dare to confront my powerful reinforcements unless they don't want to live."
Tuoba Jian listened to his men and nodded slightly. It was obvious that this was actually what he was thinking in his heart.
He just felt that Sifang Valley seemed a bit cold and cold, but let him think about it, a few thousand people would not be able to cause any trouble. After all, he has 80,000 elite soldiers in his hands now. These 8
With the existence of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it can be said that even if there are tens of thousands of people on the other side, let alone thousands of them, they are definitely no match for these 80,000 elite soldiers.
"Order all military forces to quickly pass through the Sifang Valley without questioning."
Although Tuoba Jian, as the marshal, was a little worried, he also knew very well that he had to cross the Sifang Valley quickly. He must know that the fastest way is to withdraw troops through the Sifang Valley. If he bypassed the Sifang Valley, at least
I have to walk hundreds of miles more.
The current Yuan army very much wants to return to their place quickly and replenish their supplies of food and grass. No matter whether they fight or not, at least they can't have their morale in chaos.
So this Sifang Valley is their only way back.
When his order was conveyed to the sergeants below, all the sergeants naturally did not dare to neglect, but followed their arrival and quickly entered the Sifang Valley.
…
"Here they come, they're coming."
At this moment, all the people in ambush had seen the Yuan army and entered Sifang Valley.
Everyone was very nervous, because they were very worried when they looked at the elite Yuan army. After all, this was the Yuan army.
Not to mention the four kingdoms of Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming, even in the entire empire, the reinforcements were very elite, and almost no army from any vassal state dared to provoke the Yuan army.
Moreover, no army of any vassal state dares to say that its army is stronger than that of the Yuan Kingdom.
Therefore, no matter who faces the powerful Yuan army, they will be very worried.
Ning Xiaofan stared seriously at the Yuan army entering the Sifang Valley. He knew that the battle that would change the territory of the Song and Yuan Dynasties was about to begin. He knew even more deeply that this battle would represent his complete victory.
into the disputes among the vassal states of this empire.
"No one is allowed to act rashly without my order, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
This is the order Ning Xiaofan gave at this moment.
This order soon spread to the ears of all Ning Jiajun soldiers.
Everyone was lying in wait nervously and seriously. They knew that the battle could start at any time, but without Ning Xiaofan's order, they could not use any of their soldiers, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
The Yuan army's advance was extremely fast, and because the entrance to Sifang Valley was extremely wide, dozens of people could enter at the same time. Since then, the speed at which the Yuan army entered Sifang Valley was also very fast. It didn't take long for the 80,000 elite troops to enter.
Almost all of them entered Sifang Valley.
When entering the Sifang Valley, Tuoba Jian always felt a chill down his spine for some reason, as if something was going to happen, but he couldn't figure out what would happen now, and it was quiet all around.
It seemed like nothing happened.
But even though he was so quiet, he was still very worried. He didn't know where this worry came from, but as a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he knew in his heart that this was a very bad omen, which meant a lot of things.
Something might be going on, so he looked at the sergeants behind him. He knew very well that he had to move forward quickly, and he had to leave here as soon as possible. He felt that this was an ominous place, so he had to leave here quickly.
Only then can those bad things not happen.
In fact, he didn't know if anything bad would happen, but as a veteran old man, he knew very well that he had to return to the Yuan Kingdom with his 80,000 elites, otherwise...
Tuoba Jian did not dare to think any more, or in other words, he only had one thought in his mind, which was to march as quickly as possible and return to the Yuan Kingdom as soon as possible. Only then would his army still be his army, and there might be another one in the future.
The Song State cannot escape the chance of a comeback. As long as he is in the Song State, it will surely perish, and it will definitely be destroyed in his hands.
"Speed up the march a little faster, a little faster."
Tuoba Jian shouted loudly.
Obviously, he wanted his soldiers to leave the Sifang Valley as quickly as possible.
But at this moment.
Suddenly a person stood up above the valley.
"Marshal Tuoba Jian, I have admired him for a long time."
The sound was very loud and could be heard throughout the Sifang Valley.
It was this loud voice that startled all the Yuan troops present, including Tuoba Jian.
