Mu Jinyi's eyes shone, and the corners of his mouth raised high: "Yes, her way to escape has been blocked by us, unless they jump into the lake, but their Ye army are all landlubbers. Since advancing is also death, retreating It was also death, so she was forced to have no choice but to fight to the death."
A few years ago, a war with Xize State made the people of the Six Kingdoms know that the Ye army was not good at fighting the Fu River. They were helpless before being chased and driven to the Huai River of Xize State.
"But this move is too rash and reckless. It is completely different from her previous behavior of forbearing and carefully digging holes. Do you think... is there any fraud in this?" She Kou looked at him.
When Mu Jin heard this, he stared at him with a strange and teasing gaze, which made She Kou feel uncomfortable all over, and he smiled only when he became a little angry from embarrassment.
"General She, you know that people can only be so cautious and worry too much when facing someone who makes them afraid."
His words instantly caused She Kou's expression to change.
He said coldly: "What do you know?"
She Kou indeed looked down on women from the bottom of his heart, especially those who were self-righteous. For example, the queen of Ye Jun was stupid and greedy. However, Zheng Quchi seemed to be a little different.
When she was in the main hall, she gave him a hard time and made him realize that she was not an easy person.
In addition, there is still a bet between them, so he cannot lose, and neither can the Julu Kingdom!
"She Kou, how can you do such great things if you are so jealous and hesitant? Just treat it as if the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming and the soil is flooding it! Can we, the veteran generals who have fought bloody battles for many years, still be weak? Isn’t she Zheng Quchi so powerful?!”
Mu Jingu stared with a pair of red bloodshot eyes and spoke harshly.
"Don't worry, no matter how cunning she is, Zheng Quchi, we will not ask her to turn over the palm of her hand."
She Kousi thought about it and felt that her worries were unfounded. However, no matter how smart a teenage girl is, her intelligence is limited. The various strategies she arranged and the strategies she used may have been arranged by Yuan Xingzhou. She was just An implementer, not an organizer.
Her journey has come to an end.
She Kou grinned and chuckled: "You are right, I am indeed not like my usual self. No matter what tricks she wants to play, I, the Julu Kingdom, will accompany her to the end!"
After saying that, he turned to the scout and said, "If we continue to investigate, we must find out exactly how many troops the Ye army has sent and what their intentions are!"
"yes!"
——
An hour later, it was Chen time. The sky was completely bright. The water mist lingering around the lake had faded and the visibility was hundreds of meters away. It was convenient for the Julu Army to continue advancing at this time. There was no need to worry about encountering ambushes or sneak attacks. Ye Jun did some tricks and underhanded tactics.
The scout returned in a hurry and reported again: "Commander, we have found out that Ye's army has about three to four thousand people. They took a circuitous route from Bailu Lake. It seems that their intention is to escape from the northwest."
Mu Jin was surprised: "So many people, they actually account for most of the total Ye army. It seems that they really came out in full force and vacated the Ye camp."
She Kou: "Escape? They think they can escape smoothly under the cover of heavy fog. It's just a fool's errand."
It rained continuously last night and the temperature dropped sharply. They also expected that there might be morning fog, so they stationed troops at various important roads in advance to guard against the Ye army taking the opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, they started to make a move as soon as the rain stopped.
"Yes, but after they saw our team that was waiting in advance, they quickly retreated."
"Hahahaha... Is this a coincidence? We fired hundreds of three-bow crossbows and they were pointed at the direction where they were retreating." She Kou smiled cruelly.
He asked his adjutant to get a map, which was the map of Chunsou Jinlu Hunting Ground. As for why the Julu Congress had this confidential map, it was naturally because someone in the upper echelons of the Ye Army conspired with him.
She Kou drew a mark on the picture: "Look, the camp they are stationed in is in front of a shoal in Bailu Lake. It is shaped like a gourd, with a narrow mouth and deep inside. We have ambushed people in the northeast. They will retreat as soon as they retreat. Back in front of the camp, we only need to block the northwest and southwest sides together, and set up a three-bow crossbow in front of the camp, and they will be forced here and cannot go anywhere."
Mu Jin also agreed with what he said, but there were some things that he had to guard against: "But it is not good to be in Julu Country. We are blocked here, and the other three roads converge behind us. If we are attacked by a sneak attack..."
But She Kou waved his hand and interrupted him: "Sneak attack? Don't be ridiculous. He, the Ye Kingdom, only has three or four thousand troops in the camp. They are all concentrated here. Where can they find the troops to launch a sneak attack? Besides, they don't have any There is no way to escape from under our noses, unless you jump into the lake or Yuan Xingzhou defeats Xizeguo and rushes back for rescue, but which one do you think is more likely?"
Mu Jin thought about it carefully and felt that what She Kou said was absolutely right.
Taking ten thousand steps back, someone in Ye's army knew the Fu River and swam in a circle to sneak around and attack, but how many troops did they have left?
Now most of their troops are clearly visible in front of them. This is an iron-clad fact and cannot be faked.
Even if Zheng Quchi had some people left by his side, they would only be in the dozens or hundreds at most. With this small number of people, they would not be able to create any disturbance at all.
As for whether Yuan Xingzhou can come back in time, hey, is there any need to ask?
If Xize Kingdom can let him escape, then they really are not worthy of the title of Ever-Victorious Army. They might as well be called trash. It is really shameful that they cannot even destroy Yuan Xingzhou, which only has one or two thousand troops.
Mu Jin said with high emotion: "What General She said is absolutely true. If so, then we will have a game of catching turtles in a jar and completely destroy the Ye Kingdom camp."
She Kou knew that Mu Jin was eager for revenge, but he did not want the other party to personally interfere with his arrangements and steal his limelight, so he said: "General Mu, the two thousand or two thousand troops around you are probably of no use. Why don't you leave with me?" When the army attacks, you and others take the opportunity to sneak into the Ye camp to see if there is any fish that has slipped through the net?"
Mu Jin was stunned when he heard that She and Kou seemed to be negotiating, but in fact they were making strong arrangements. In an instant, he understood what the other party was thinking.
He really wanted to go to Yeying as soon as possible to see the situation.
Thousands of Nan Chen troops under his command invaded the Ye camp and there has been no news since then. He had already prepared for the worst, and the Ye troops killed all the prisoners they captured.
But he would be a little lucky. If Ye Jun surrendered and was afraid of offending Nanchen State, he didn't do anything to stop the matter, but just captured them. In this way, his team would grow stronger, maybe this time the Six Nations Trial He still has a chance to make a comeback.
He is not willing to completely withdraw from this battlefield where the six countries are competing for face. As long as there is a slight possibility, he will not rely on others and become a foil.
Of course, his innermost thoughts should not be disclosed to the outside world. He seemed to readily accept She Kou's arrangement, nodding and saying: "Since I have pledged my alliance to General She, I am of the same mind as you. Since you have made such an arrangement, I will definitely be happy to accept it. "
Seeing that he was interested, She Kou smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, General Mu, we will go our separate ways. I'm sorry that his Ye army will not be able to fly this time."
——
The Julu Kingdom was discussing how to capture the Ye Army, while the targeted "Ye Army" was busy wandering around Bailu Lake to attract the Julu Army's attention.
"Did you see the mark?"
"Here, I see, see."
"Adjutant Zheng of the Ye Army State said that we should wait for the Julu Army to find the mark at the location. We don't know if they have been discovered yet, so why don't we wait first?"
"Well, we have to let the people sent from the Julu Kingdom see it accurately."
Thousands of Nanchen Army and Hongsheng Army dressed in Ye Army skins lined up in a long queue. They clearly sensed the approach of the Julu Kingdom's scouts, but they had to pretend not to know and continued to "escape".
"This doesn't work, it's too fake."
Thousands of them were walking slowly around the lake. How could they look like they were preparing to escape? It was obvious that he had left this early morning for a walk.
"Then what if they misestimate the number of people and fail to meet the requirements that Adjutant Zheng wants us to complete?" Some people are worried.
Hundreds of husbands in the army began to give instructions: "Each of you lead a team of several hundred people, carry Ye army flags and banners, and go away in batches so that they can easily estimate the number of people."
Generally, there are several ways for the enemy to find out how many people there are on the other side. One is through the stoves and kangs in the camp. Generally, a number of people are allocated to each stove. You can roughly figure it out by counting.
Then there are the horse hooves and footprints. This is a delicate and troublesome way to survive, and it is much easier to count.
Furthermore, experienced scouts all have experience in judging the general situation based on the dust raised during the military journey.
The final estimate is based on the number of military flags and military drums.
Military flags and military drums are the most important means of signaling in war. Just like the stove pit, they are arranged according to the number of people. Moreover, military flags and military drums are very conspicuous in dense crowds and are easy to observe. They can also be used to count people. Very convenient.
This time they were specially equipped with military flags and divided into four square formations of 500 people. For fear that the enemy would not be able to see clearly or count them clearly, they divided the total number into several groups and placed military flags for them to identify.
Alas, this was the first time they had done something like this, so their acting skills were rusty, and they really took great pains to make it clear to the enemy that all the "Ye Army" had left the camp.
Sure enough, this time the Julu Kingdom made an unprecedented progress and speed. After roughly estimating the number of people in Ye's army, they quickly returned to report.
After the others left, they and the centurions talked to each other: "Is there no problem this time?"
"Well, the scouts from the Julu Kingdom have all gone back. It's time for us to rush to the next marking point."
"Yes, yes, go quickly!"
——
The Julu Army was also proceeding according to their own plan. They blocked the pass of Ye Camp. Since the barrier built in front was destroyed, the tents and stoves set up inside could be seen from a distance.
At this time, there were no people or fireworks in the camp. This was not surprising, because the Ye Army was intercepted at the northwest intersection and all retreated. The Julu Army had already been waiting for them as soon as they entered the crossbow. Within the shooting range, aim and shoot.
She Kou made a good calculation. He first used large equipment to consume the Ye army, and then killed the rest. In this way, the strength of the Julu army could be preserved as much as possible.
Their ambition was not just to defeat the Ye Army, but to conquer the Six Kingdoms. Therefore, the battle against the Ye Army could reduce casualties, so he was not willing to sacrifice a single soldier.
Just as the Julu Army locked onto Ye Army, who was about to sneak back to the camp, but did not want to see Ye Army who was walking in a straight line, the route inexplicably changed direction. Instead of running towards the camp, they wanted to take a circuitous route from the west. Come on, the crossbow bed placed here in Julu Kingdom is in the wrong direction.
Hey, what is this Ye Jun doing?
"We can't let them run away, adjust our position quickly!"
"yes!"
The specially targeted soldiers immediately adjust their direction, which requires a certain amount of vision to predict in advance and based on the opponent's trajectory...
But when they had just adjusted and were waiting for Ye Jun to enter their shooting range, they saw Ye Jun retreating again.
"General, they have changed again!"
This shout of "General" made everyone gnash their teeth.
Damn it, we just took aim, why did this bastard Ye Jun suddenly change direction again? This time they ran to the north. Didn't they just come back from there?
They're just trying to catch the chicken, right?
"They probably discovered the location where our army set up an ambush." the adjutant of the Julu Army guessed.
She Kou also thought so. The location of their three hundred crossbow beds was not very conspicuous and filled with light mist, especially from such a long distance away. However, if you look carefully, you can still find the aiming targets in the bushes. of them.
"Now that we have discovered it, there is no need to follow them in secret and let the Julu Army guarding the northwest border directly force us back!"
The adjutant was about to give the order, but he turned back: "Huh? They are back again? This time they ran towards the camp, but why did they disperse?"
"What on earth are they doing?" She Kou frowned.
To be honest, She Kou didn't understand Ye Jun's confusing behavior. Ye Jun seemed to be playing a very new tactic.
Sometimes they are a whole, sometimes they are scattered into loose sand, sometimes they form several square formations, sometimes they become a long line. In short, they run as they please, without any rules, and they look like they are confused and inexplicable.
But precisely because they were so disorganized and scattered like sand, they really didn’t know which direction to shoot in.
"Is this Ye Jun crazy?" the adjutant was dumbfounded.
But She Kou thought for a moment and understood: "Oh, it's just a stubborn resistance. Do they think that we can't shoot? Immediately send two thousand giant deer troops to surround them!"
She Kou didn't want to waste any more time, so he directly sent two thousand troops forward to create power and pressure on the Ye army.
Sure enough, when the Ye army saw the enemy attacking, they were so frightened that they were "frightened out of their wits" on the spot. As a team like them, armed with scraps of copper and iron, they knew they were outmatched, so they no longer tried to escape, but wanted to return to the Ye camp. .
Seeing that they were like lambs driven into the sheepfold by hounds, they seemed to be ready to be killed. The Julu Army had already sharpened their swords——
"Quick, quick, after walking them for so long, it should be enough time. They are planning to launch the crossbow. Have they found the marking point?"
The "Ye Army" side is really panicked. There is an idiom that says, "It's like the light is on your back," and they are now.
"This is it. There is a straightened rattan rope on the ground as a mark. The trench should be one or two steps behind this rope."
Of course, they could only see the flat ground now, because the trenches had been covered up in advance to prevent the Julu Army from seeing any clues. (End of chapter)
