"Zhen Fu, after receiving an urgent report from Zhang Wuyang, there are troops arriving from the west. They have arrived in front of Zhuolu Ridge and are preparing to divide their troops to attack the camp in front of Zhuolu Ridge." Hu Jia rushed to Wu Gen and reported the report loudly.
"So fast, I thought they would wait and see before attacking." Wu Gen looked solemn and said seriously, "How many people do we have available?"
Hu Jia glanced at Murong Yuqiang and whispered: "Our Northern Army has suffered from serious attrition due to successive battles. We still need to leave people to guard Dongda Camp to prevent the coalition forces from causing trouble. Only three thousand can be mobilized. "
Wu Gen sighed and turned to look at Murong Yuqiang. Although Hu Jia said it was too small, in fact the Northern Army did not dare to move without permission. Not to mention the nearly 7,000 prisoners who need to be guarded in this battle, there are new reinforcements in the coalition camp. If they want to block the east side and prevent Lu Lie and others from escaping, they really don't dare to take out many people here.
"All you need to do is to recruit 7,000 soldiers from our clan. Take my sword and your subordinates will know about it." Murong Yuqiang took off the two swords from the horse and handed them to Wu Gen.
"Thank you." The military situation was urgent, and Wu Gen did not dare to delay. He handed the knife to Hu Jia, "Send it to Shui Xiaowei immediately, and he will lead the troops to support the army camp. I will go to the Southern Army camp and talk to him directly. Convergence."
Hu Jia agreed, took the knife and turned around to convey Wu Gen's military order.
"Young Master, let's rush to Ji Ye's camp as soon as possible in case the military situation changes." Wu Gen no longer had any intention of chatting, and he and Murong Yuqiang urged to dismount and go straight to Ji Ye's camp.
As soon as they entered the camp, people reporting news came and went. Ji Ye, Ji Jing, and Yuan Xin were leading people to discuss the enemy's situation. Bahong and Bayueze were also standing aside.
Today Wu Gen led his army to intercept and kill the Qiulin family's horses, and Ji Jing also sent troops to respond. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xin was unable to withstand the attack of the southern coalition forces and retreated in defeat, so he had to divide his troops to respond. Just after Yuan Xin settled down, he heard that the enemy army was attacking the military stronghold on Zhuolu Ridge, which made Ji Ye very busy.
"Wu Gen, you came just in time. How is the war in the east?" Ji Ye couldn't help but look happy when he saw Wu Gen coming in. This also meant that the war to intercept Qiulin's family was over. He turned around and saw Murong Yuqiang, and quickly stood up, "Miss Murong, Li Zhenfu, please take a seat."
Murong Yuqiang looked at Ji Ye all night, lowered her eyes and gave him a salute. Li Xin had been to Hanlu City many times because of Murong Yanyu, and since he was familiar with Ji Ye, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
Wu Gen ordered Zhuo Ke to deliver Qiu Linhe's head, "The war in the east is over, the enemy's food and grass have been cut off, and they won't be able to hold on much longer."
Ji Ye asked Murong Yuqiang and Li Xin to sit down, walked to Qiu Linhe's head, stared at it for a long time and sighed, "Why do this? It's all because of ambition."
This was the first young master to die since the coalition forces sent out troops. For a moment, the originally noisy tent became quiet. Ba Hong and Murong Yuqiang also had slightly moved expressions. Although they had a lot of bad relations with Qiu Linhe, they were still people of the same status as themselves. Now that they were dead without a complete body, they couldn't help but feel sad.
"That's it, just put it away and leave it to daddy." Ji Ye calmed down his thoughts. In any case, Qiu Linhe's death means that the coalition forces are in decline. "I'll discuss how to deal with the enemy on Zhululing."
"Young Master, we must send two troops to support the ridge. Today, more than 10,000 people on the southern front of the bandits have all entered the camp to support them. Now the bandits in the opposite camp have no other support. They must be eager to join Ji Xian's men and will definitely send a group of troops. There are only a few men and horses attacking the military stronghold on the mountain." Ji Jing and Wu Gen secretly glanced at each other and spoke first.
"So, we use one force to directly support each military camp and block the opponent's attack. The other force intercepts the supporting troops in the camp to prevent the two from joining together."
Wu Gen also nodded and glanced at Ba Hong, who was sitting quietly beside him and said, "Just now, Young Master Murong was so righteous that he sent 7,000 of his own troops to me to support the military camp on the ridge. I will be responsible for dispatching troops in front of the allied camp to intercept them. I will just send another group of troops to Ma Ridge to support each military camp. In addition, the main camp here and the east camp must also organize their troops to prevent The other troops in the coalition camp have fled, and sufficient troops must be left in these two places."
Yuan Xin blinked and glanced at Wu Gen and Ji Jing. As a defeated general, he could not speak out. The two men on the opposite side sang together, obviously trying to force the Ba family to send troops to the ridge.
"Thank you, Master Murong." Ji Ye didn't expect Murong Yuqiang to be so nimble.
.
"It doesn't matter, the big furniture is all in one, all for the purpose of wiping out the thieves as soon as possible. The men and horses of the Murong family belong to the lord's family, and they can be dispatched at will." Murong Yuqiang swept away the cold arrogance of the past, and her voice was as gentle as water.
For a moment, everyone in the tent turned their attention to Bahong. Looking at the Murong family, the Ba family must also do something.
A trace of resentment flashed in Ba Hong's eyes. He glanced at Murong Yuqiang, Wu Gen and others, then stood up and said, "The Ba family is also willing to listen to the young master's order. I intend to lead the troops to capture Luling and kill the fierce ones."
Ji Ye looked pleased, "Brother Ba is indeed a loyal and brave man, but the opponent is just a reinforcement. Just ask Ba Zhenfu to lead the army. After this battle, I will definitely report the contributions of each family to my father and brother."
There was a relaxed atmosphere in the big tent. Everyone felt that after the Qiulin family was destroyed this time, with the current strength of the Northern and Southern armies, it was only a matter of time before the opponent was destroyed.
After the reinforcements on Zhuolu Ridge were defeated, each army concentrated its forces to attack the coalition camp and capture the opponent in one fell swoop. At that time, by gathering the troops from the north and the south and counterattacking Hanlu City, victory can be established in one fell swoop.
After the military meeting was over, Ba Hong and Ba Yueze went to prepare their own troops. News also came from the Northern Army that Shui Congyue had finished reorganizing their troops, including 3,000 Northern Army soldiers and 7,000 Murong family members. Bypassing from the north of the coalition camp, they went to Zhuolu Ridge to support Zhang Wuyang and block the coalition forces in front of the ridge.
Wu Gen winked at Ji Jing and pulled Ji Ye and Yuan Xin into a small village.
"I want to kill Ba Yueze." As soon as he entered the tent, Wu Gen said straight to the point, "With him here, we can't really control the Ba family's men."
Everyone present knew that Ba Yueze had drawn troops before the battle and trapped Wu Gen in despair, so no one was surprised.
"Yes, Ba Yueze must die, and the Ba family's men and horses must be separated." Ji Jing also agreed, "There is something going on on the southern front today. Ba Yueze gathered his men and horses near the young master's camp without authorization. Since he is supporting The soldiers respect themselves and do not want us to get involved with the Ba family. It was also heard in the tent that Yuan Zhenfu failed to block the attack, and that enemy reinforcements were coming from the west. He was pessimistic about our war and had evil intentions.
The reason why I didn't dare to support Wu Zhenfu was because I was afraid that the Ba family would do something unspeakable after he left. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well with such an unruly man and horse by my side. This time Wu Zhenfu's words forced the Ba family to divide their troops and go to Capture Luling. This plan was very good, at least it would pose a much smaller threat to us. At the time of this war, it is just in time to deal with Ba Yueze, so that we can control the Ba family's men. "
"It's easy to kill Ba Yueze. What I'm afraid of is that the Ba family will have other ideas and we have to find a proper way. After all, it's not auspicious to kill a general in battle." Ji Ye pondered for a moment and agreed. Their thoughts were just a reminder to them not to go too far.
"Ba Yueze wanted to lead troops to fight against the enemy's reinforcements on Zhuolu Ridge. If that didn't work, he would find a secret opportunity there to kill him. Just say he was killed by the enemy, and then give him a lot of praise. Of course, before killing him, We must ensure that we win and the Ba family will not be in chaos.
By the way, the man named Ba Yan is useful, but he cannot be allowed to command the Ba family. As for Bahun, tie him tightly in the big tent and cut off his communication with his men. Wu Gen said fiercely, Ba Yueze would always be a little upset if he didn't kill him.
"You have to be careful when doing this kind of thing. Calling Li Xin here is considered to be a surrender." Ji Ye is not a white lotus. Since he has decided to take action against the Ba family, he has to bring the Murong family over and turn his head. Looking at Wu Gen, "By the way, don't you think Murong Yuqiang is a little strange? It makes things a lot easier."
Wu Gen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I also feel something is strange. Could it be that she was possessed and had her gender changed."
Suddenly patting his head, Wu Gen suddenly said: "I guess I saw that after this war is over, you will become a prince, and people are fawning over you."
Ji Ye rolled his eyes at Wu Gen and glanced at the glow in the sky outside the tent, "What nonsense are you talking about? Forget it, today's battle has just ended. I guess the thieves are also tired and there won't be another fight in the short term. Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and get your troops in order." Order Ba Yueze to immediately go to Zhuolu Ridge to support the defenders. Wu Gen fought a hard battle today and suffered some injuries. There are many things going on in the army. Let's lead the army to Zhuolu Ridge after dinner."
After everyone discussed it, Ji Ye went to find Murong Yuqiang and asked Li Xin to follow the order.
The matter of strangulating Ba Yueze.
When Wu Gen left Ji Ye's camp, Ba Yueze had already led eight thousand troops towards the Zhuolu Ridge area. The sunset fell on the Ba family horses, and the sky and the earth turned bright red. Wu Gen squinted at the departing figures of these people, muttered something, turned around and returned to Dong Daying.
When we passed by the coalition camp, smoke was already rising from the camp, and many soldiers were washing their horses, preparing to take an early rest and fade away from the fatigue of the battle. Smoke curls up from the kitchen, echoing the afterglow of the setting sun. Occasionally, the sound of soldiers' flutes could be heard in the distance, but there was also the smell of long smoke, sunset, and flutes playing in the evening breeze.
Croaking, a few jackdaws passed by in the air and flew towards the setting sun in the distance, adding some desolation and sadness to the silent battlefield.
Wu Gen sighed. People always die in wars. With so much blood and flesh buried, it is estimated that next year the flowers on the grassland here will be more gorgeous and the grass and trees will be more lush.
When they returned to their camp, they were already having dinner. Wu Gen summoned several major generals, talked about the proceedings, and assigned tasks to everyone, "From the moon and I, we will take ten thousand people to capture the enemy." At Luling, Baoxiang will stick to the east camp. If the enemy flees, stop them if they can. There is no need to chase them hard. Xue Xin quickly reorganizes the prisoners and thinks about the route to the east."
"We're leaving." Baoxiang looked at Wu Gen's expression and couldn't help but ask.
Wu Gen looked at the curve on the horizon in the distance, sighed and said: "In the next battle in Hanlu City, I am not going to let all the fearless troops participate. Of course, it is not to leave the enemy alone. We will divide the troops into two groups, one group and one group. Sweep out these rebellious families and attack the retreat of Ji Xian's men all the way to relieve some pressure on Ji Ye. We must take advantage of the time when Ji Xian's men have no time to take care of others and try to accumulate some strength in preparation for moving south."
"Going south, those families may block our progress." Xue Xin was worried.
Wu Gen took out a military order with Ji Chen's seal on it, "Just use this, in the name of patrolling the south. If anyone dares to resist, he will be punished for treason. In these troubled times, severe punishment will be used."
Everyone looked at this piece of paper and understood in their hearts that they were finally leaving here.
When I was in a strange mood, suddenly the drums and horns of the coalition camp to the west were blaring, accompanied by bursts of smoke.
