The coalition forces came and went like a tide, just like the sea came and went, leaving only corpses with broken armor, adding patches of red to this gray-green battlefield.
The Confederate army roared out, like another wave of rage, clinging to the coalition forces with pride and fury, crossing the Jishui platform and the scattered strongholds that had fallen into the enemy's hands, and rolled towards the outside of Zhuolu Ridge.
After being on the defensive for many days, they were suppressed and beaten for a long time, and they were trampled by the small families who usually stepped on them. These Confederate soldiers had already simmered down their anger, so when the enemy retreated slightly, they did not hesitate to fight back. Got out.
According to legend, the coalition forces were so brave that they defeated the Northern Army and retreated here. Look at the Northern Army's camp. How cowardly people would do such a thing. They wish they could wrap the entire camp in layers of stone. Looking at it today, the coalition forces are nothing more than this. It's not that the thieves are powerful, it's that the Northern Army is incompetent.
Attack is the kingly way and is the basis for an army to win. If you huddle in a nest, you can only be called a bastard.
Many soldiers of the Southern Army thought so, including Zhao Gui, who was adjacent to Wu Gen's camp. He led his men to fight out, turned around and glanced at the Northern Army camp where no one had rushed out, and spat in disdain, "cowards."
"Tell our people that no one is allowed to escape." Wu Gen stood on the wall of the stronghold, sticking his head out and staring fiercely at Ai Kai and others behind him, "Whoever dares to attack without authorization, kill Wu Yang."
"My subordinate is here." Zhang Wuyang, covered in armor, strode forward.
"Send the order to Xue Xin, follow the order and attack. I will go look for Ji Ye and ask them to be careful." Cold sweat broke out on Wu Gen's forehead, and he was about to leave the stronghold and go to Eviscerate Mountain to look for Ji Ye.
White rockets stretched out from the distant sky, and the arrows shot straight into the air, mingling with the lingering rain, fog, and smoke.
Wu Gen's feet stopped and he stared in astonishment at the rockets that shot straight into the air. The arrows exploded, and layers of clouds appeared in the sky. These clouds and mist seemed to have weight, falling down in groups and landing on Zhulu Ridge. At the same time, large clouds and fog appeared out of thin air on the ground. From far to near, the entire Zhulu Ridge became indistinct and indistinct.
The sky and the earth turned gray-white, and the fog came silently, swallowing up the galloping horses, the fighting soldiers, and the dilapidated camps. The noisy Zhuolu Ridge suddenly became dead silent, as if a thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain had fallen to the ground, suppressing everything.
The fog was so thick, as thick as flowing mare's milk, that it was difficult to see the surroundings clearly even from a step away. The fog was so heavy that even breathing became difficult when we were in it.
Wu Gen stood on the wall, his face pale and his heart as cold as falling into an ice cellar. Listening in the direction of the battlefield, a hazy and faint sound came, as if someone was shouting while hiding in the water, and everything sounded a little distorted.
A fat figure squeezed through the thick fog and reached Wu Gen's side. Yang Zheng took out a mirror from his body and shook it slightly. The small mirror emits a hazy white light.
The light was like countless frail children, crawling in all directions, gradually illuminating Wu Gen's surroundings. The village wall appeared again, the frightened Northern soldiers behind the wall appeared again, and the gray-brown mountain appeared again.
This scene is very strange, as if these people or things have appeared out of thin air. However, the power of the light was very weak after all. After spreading for more than thirty feet, it disappeared as if it had exhausted its power.
With Wu Gen as the center of the circle, a huge lantern was formed between heaven and earth. You can see clearly inside the lantern, but everything outside the lantern is unknown.
"That's it." Wu Gen sighed almost like a groan.
This mirror was first discovered in Lu Lie's study in Hanlu City, and another one was seized from Qinghuai City. After getting it, although this geek from the Jingqiao Class made some copies, he really didn't know its use. Everyone, including Yang Zheng, just kept it in the army just in case.
Today, this mirror finally reveals its magic.
"Not only that, look again." Yang Zheng tapped his finger on the mirror, and a ray of spiritual energy was injected into it, causing the mirror that was originally just shining white light to ripple. A picture appeared in the mirror. In the picture, there were people with horses and mountains, as if someone was looking down from a high place. These people and horses seemed to be still moving. Although they couldn't see clearly, they could still tell whether they were the Confederate Army or the Allied Army.
"Capturing Luling." Wu Gen sighed softly.
gas.
What was shown in the mirror was the scene of catching Luling, and those moving slowly were the troops of the Union Army and the Confederate Army.
"Yes, these mists have the effect of shielding people's five senses. And this mirror allows the person holding the mirror to see the surrounding situation clearly, and at the same time, he can see the situation of the entire battlefield. Now the Southern Army is going to suffer." Yang Zheng sighed softly. He said, looking a little strange.
"Are our people equipped with all these mirrors? Are there any extra mirrors?" Wu Gen grabbed Yang Zheng's hand, looking anxious.
It is conceivable that if the coalition forces can see the Confederate and Northern armies, but they cannot see each other, and every move is under their eyes, then the Confederate army will be finished, and how can they fight this battle.
"Don't worry, we have more than a hundred households in the Fearless Army. As for the mirrors, there are probably thirty more." Yang Zheng proudly admired the scene in the mirror.
"Where are Ai Kai and the others?" Wu Gen asked next.
"Not yet, but I have sent someone to deliver it to them." Yang Zheng took out another mirror from his body and moved it open with his fingers.
Wu Gen's side suddenly became much brighter, and the originally hazy scenes around him became clearer.
"Send the extra to Ji Ye. Hurry, if the delay continues, the entire Southern army will be wiped out." Wu Gen quickly urged Yang Zheng to save as many as he could at this time.
Yang Zheng raised his head and glanced at Wu Gen with a strange look on his face, "Wu Gen, do you want to send it now? Or wait a moment."
Wu Gen's face darkened, "Yang Zheng, I know your intentions. Originally, I also wanted the Confederate army to lose blood. But now this situation is no longer about losing blood, but about losing lives. With human life at stake, it's better to put aside those selfish motives. Come on. Send it over quickly."
For the first time, Yang Zheng did not move, looking at Wu Gen coldly, "Wu Gen, the leader of Wu Village, you are the leader of our fearless army. What I want to say is that we want to save the Southern Army, but not now. You Have you ever thought that if the Ji family wins this battle too easily, with the strength of the Southern Army, it will be easy to annihilate us in the future.
Besides, if you didn’t take out this magic weapon a long time ago, if you take it out now, how will the Confederate army look at you? The Southern Army is not Ji Ye's men. If you save people at this time, not only will they not be grateful to you, they will also resent you. This is the human heart. Sometimes kindness will not be rewarded. There are not many so-called farmers dying in Shekou, Wu Gen.
After this battle, the Southern Army may not do anything to our Fearless Army, but as long as each family is destroyed, don't worry, the first one they will counterattack will be our Fearless Army. For the sake of my ten thousand brothers in the Fearless Army, Master Wu, please be tougher-hearted and wait a little longer. When the strength of the Southern Army is reduced to the point where it cannot easily defeat us, then attack again. "
Looking at Yang Zheng's eyes that were a little red due to excitement, Wu Gen's chest rose and fell sharply. He looked up at the foggy sky. After a long time, he sighed, "Yang Zheng, you are good at understanding people's hearts, but you are terrible at military strategy." . I know that everything you said is out of public interest and is right. But this battle won’t last long.”
As he spoke, Wu Gen pointed to the densely packed little figures in the mirror, "The coalition forces are not only massacring the Confederate soldiers who came out of Zhuolu Ridge, but they have also divided their troops into five groups, using the gaps between the Confederate formations to attack everywhere. The camp sneaked closer. In this situation, the Confederate army was blind, and it would be easy to capture the camp.
After they capture the camp and then join forces with the people outside to attack the soldiers who have left the camp, will they still have a chance of winning? No, even if Ji Ye uses all his hiding methods, there is only a few thousand people, how can he defeat him.
At the moment, the Northern Army's first priority is to protect the camp and then see if there is room for a counterattack. As for the soldiers below, save as many as you can. Otherwise, when the coalition forces take over all these camps, large and small, I will be ready to lead the Northern Army to abandon the camp and run to Hanlu City. This is not Huali City. An isolated city is easy to defend, but mountains are difficult to defend. "
Yang Zheng hurriedly took a closer look at the situation in the mirror, cold sweat dripping down his face. Now the coalition forces had surrounded the Confederate troops who had left Zhululing, and were hiding in the distance and shooting them in an orderly manner. But the soldiers of the Confederate army were running around, but they were spinning in place as if they were hit by a ghost.
At the same time, there were five crooked lines stretching towards Zhuolu Ridge. They were the coalition soldiers who were sneaking attacks on various camps. Among them, there are three in the direction of the Southern Army and two in the direction of the Northern Army.
"Okay, Village Master,
I immediately sent the mirror to Nanjun Yingzhai. Yang Zheng wiped away the cold sweat and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Wu Gen stopped Yang Zheng, "If Ji Ye and Ji Jing ask about the origin of the mirror, just tell them that Bu Kuan just risked his life and sent someone to deliver it to the mountain. After all, he is Zi Ming's father-in-law, so if you don't give it to him, A tremendous contribution, I’m afraid the Ji family won’t let him survive after the war.”
Yang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his thumb at Wu Gen, "What a great idea, I'm going." As he said that, he jumped up in the mountains and quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
"Hu Jia, Wu Yang." Wu Gen turned around and greeted. Hu Jia and Zhang Wuyang had just seen Wu Gen arguing with Yang Zheng and were at a loss. After hearing this, they hurried over.
Wu Gen handed the mirror to Hu Jia, "This thing requires a Qi practitioner to activate it. You and Wu Yang have one share. The most urgent thing at the moment is to kill these two troops who sneaked up on us. One of them is One of the Flying Tiger Army is from the Ba family. It seems that the Flying Tiger Army is going to Baoxiang's location, while the Ba family is coming towards our main stronghold. They probably want to use their secret skills to destroy the main stronghold's fortifications.
It just so happened that the heavy fog not only restricted our field of vision, but also restricted theirs. Even with this mirror, the Flying Tiger Army could not run very far. I must take this opportunity to destroy this flying tiger army. The Ba family's horses are blocked by Wu Yang and the Chinese army. With the Ji family's methods, it should not be difficult to deal with them.
Hu Jia, come with me. If the camp is safe, I will lead Xue Xin's men forward to attack the back of the coalition forces, and at the same time figure out why this ghost mirror can see so far away. "
"I obey my orders." Zhang Wuyang took the mirror and turned around to look for Chi Huahe and others.
Wu Gen took Zhuo Ke and Luo Zhang, pulled Hu Jia and ran towards Baoxiang. The reason why he brought Hu Jia with him was not because Wu Gen couldn't practice Qi. This mirror was really a mirror in his hands.
When they arrived at Baoxiang's territory, he was standing behind Lexi, looking at the mirror in surprise. He also couldn't practice Qi. At this time, like Wu Gen, he became blind when he was separated from others.
Seeing the worry-free situation here, Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Hu Jiaqi and said: "You rush to Xue Xin's position and inform him of my intention. Baoxiang and I blocked the Feihu Army, and Xue Xin led his men to intercept Block their way back. In this battle, this group of troops must be defeated and killed. I also remind Xue Xin that we should not attack too early, lest the Flying Tiger Army discover our movements and turn around and flee from here."
"Order the defenders of the first wall to retreat behind the second wall. If the enemy cannot climb the mountain, they will not be able to fire a single arrow. After the Flying Tiger Army dismounts and climbs to the rescue, they will follow the order to attack. Meng Shun and Cheng Jie will lead their troops to wait for an opportunity to cut them off. If the enemy retreats, , including Lexi, counterattack across the board, and cooperate with Xue Xin outside, we must keep these flying tiger troops here." Wu Gen announced his order loudly without saying anything.
