General Fierce Ant asked: "In your opinion, what should we do to lead the enemy to Lingtong." The small colonel looked at the enemy's base camp and said: "The enemy's base camp is divided into the front camp and the rear camp. The camp is where the enemy's food and grass are located, and it is heavily guarded. Perhaps General Ma Liang has already anticipated our attack on the camp, fearing an ambush. We went in the opposite direction and attacked the main gate to draw out the ambush. One attack was not enough to provoke the enemy. Army, use one hundred thousand troops as bait. When the ambush comes out, the one hundred thousand troops will retreat with one attack. Another wave of troops will attack its back door and sneak attack on its food and grass. After success, they will retreat without fighting the enemy. Finally, the general You can gather a large army to attack from the main gate. Such successive attacks will be enough to anger the enemy and lead them to Lingtong." After hearing this, General Fierce Ant agreed and said, "Who is willing to lead this hundred thousand troops to lure them into an ambush?" The school stood up and said: "General, I am willing to lead troops into battle as bait."

The primary school leader led the 100,000 troops to lie in ambush on the top of the mountain. He looked down at the base camp at the bottom of the mountain and said, "beat the drums to cheer up and give the enemy the illusion that we are going to attack in a big way." The war drums in the mountains were like thunder, and there were constant shouts of killing, and then thousands of arrows were fired. He fired, shot and killed the soldiers guarding the city, swooped down to fight with the enemy in front of the camp, and immediately withdrew as soon as he saw the army in the camp, using the cover of weeds. The army watched outside the camp gate for a while, then turned back and forth. The principal led the army to rush out again and attack the enemy behind them. Such repeated attacks made the enemy exhausted. Seeing that the ambush troops in the rear camp began to float, they were undoubtedly exposed in front of their eyes. They killed them and then ordered the troops to retreat. The army quickly retreated and hid in the dense forest.

King Ruluo Nan was very angry at their repeated harassment. He was about to lead his army to pursue them, but General Ma Liang dissuaded him and said: "My lord, no! The enemy troops repeatedly attacked my base camp and killed those who were ambushing in the rear camp. The purpose of the soldiers is to provoke our army to come out of camp to fight. This is a tactic of doubting the soldiers. Your Majesty, you must not fall into the enemy's plan." King Ruluo Xi, who was sitting aside, asked the scout: "How many casualties did our army have?" the scout replied. : "Your Majesty, our army has suffered more than 800 casualties." General Ma Liang stood up and said, "Let's explore again." The scouts withdrew.

General Fierce Ant led his army to ambush near the rear camp. Hearing the sound of gold, he said: "It seems that their sneak attack has been successful." Facing the general behind him, he said: "Where is General Bing and Yi?" General Bing and Yi stepped forward and said: " General." General Fierce Ant said: "You lead an army of 100,000 to attack the enemy's rear forage. Remember, if you win, fight, and if you don't, run away." General Bingyi said, "The last general will take the order." General Bingyi Approach the enemy's rear camp, observe for a while, light torches, attack into the enemy's rear camp, and throw the torches. A fire broke out in the granary of the rear camp, and the soldiers guarding the rear camp began to panic. Countless people were killed in the battle. The army brought in to collect the front camp fought with them to the death. General Bing and Yi saw the situation and led the army to withdraw immediately.

King Ruluo West and King Ruluo Middle were also very angry about this. They entered the camp of King Ruluo South and met King Ruluo Nan. They said: "This is intolerable, which one is intolerable? We have an army of 2.4 million. We have the advantage in terms of strength, so go out to the camp and fight." General Ma Liang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we and the enemy are not yet clear, so it is not easy to attack at this time. The fire in the rear camp has been put out, and there is no major loss of food and grass." King Ruluo Nan said: "According to the general's plan, how should we defend?" General Ma Liang said: "Continue to send heavy troops to defend the rear camp. Be careful of the enemy coming to attack our rear camp again. Just send more strong bows and crossbows to the front gate to defend."

General Fierce Ant stood on the top of the mountain and saw the frequent movements of the army in the camp, so he immediately led his army to attack the coalition base camp. The crossbowmen hurriedly responded to the battle. General Fierce Ant drove his chariot and rushed straight into the base camp with an army of 500,000 people, thrusting his halberd down. The army rushed in and killed these crossbowmen. The three kings led an army of more than two million people to fight. General Ma Liang drove his chariot through the chaotic army, charging back and forth. His long spear stabbed at the fierce ant, but the halberd in General Ma Liang's hand blocked it, and he led the army to flee. King Ruluo Nan was about to lead his army in pursuit. General Ma Liang stepped forward to dissuade him, saying, "No, Your Majesty. Don't pursue the poor bandits, for fear of an ambush." ​​King Ruluo West looked towards the direction where the ant army was retreating, and encouraged: " Alliance leader, look at the enemy's flags and the ruts on the ground. It can be seen that the enemy's army is in chaos. If you don't pursue it at this time, you will miss a great opportunity." King Ruluo Nan could not withstand this encouragement and said: "This battle We must show off the military might of our Luo Nanzhou, otherwise we will not be able to gain a foothold in front of these vassal states. General, there is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind." Facing the army behind him, he said: "Continue to pursue." General Ma Liang could not persuade him. If the southern king of Ruluo is angry and sends troops, he will lose Chang Chong's judgment and the battle will be lost. Looking back at the time when King Ruluo Nan was young, King Ruluo Nan at that time was extremely deep-tempered, calm and unfazed in situations. What a wise monarch he was! Today's King Ruluo Nan is irritable and violent, maybe because he is old and wants to win this war too much, establish his prestige before these vassal states, and create a peaceful world for future generations. It also expected that it would not be able to wait until this day, so it took this abnormal action today and led more than two million coalition troops to attack. General Ma Liang stood in front of the military camp and asked, "Where is General Tu Gong Ant?" General Tu Gong Ant walked out and said, "General." General Ma Liang asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the camp?" General Tu Gong Ant asked. : "Back to the general, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in the camp, and most of the rest are wounded." General Ma Liang said: "If the enemy attacks our base camp again, you can lead your soldiers to defend the base camp." General Tu Gongyi hesitated. , said: "General, the enemy army has been defeated. How can a large army attack the camp?" General Ma Liang said: "The enemy army is not just this one troop. I expected that there will be another large army blocking my retreat." General Ma Liang held General Tu Gong Ant's hand and said meaningfully: "Our army's camp will be entrusted to the general." General Tu Gong Ant knelt down and said: "General, in the end, the general will definitely defend the camp, even if it is the last time. If the general is killed in battle, he will never let the enemy cross the thunder pool." General Ma Liang helped General Tu Gongyi, looked at each other for a while, mounted his horse and left.

As expected by General Ma Liang, after the three kings led the army to leave the base camp, General Gu Yi led an army of 100,000 to attack the base camp. One hundred thousand troops gathered outside the base camp, and Tugong Ant led an army of 30,000 in formation to meet the enemy. The archers were arrayed in front, with shield soldiers on both sides, and in the middle were cavalry and infantry. General Ancient Ant stood on the chariot, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and shouted: "Attack." A hundred thousand troops rushed towards him, and the shield soldiers moved closer to the center to block the archers. The archers drew their bows and set arrows, and the arrows were like rain. Suddenly, the insects turned on their backs and fell down one after another. General Ancient Ant led his army to rush towards the shield soldiers, crushing them and fighting with them. The tugong ants drove their chariots into the rebel army and fought bravely to kill them. The big knife in the hand can be chopped off, and the long swords in the row will fly off. The ancient ant general came flying in a chariot. The chariot ran over the soldiers directly, or was caught in the wheels and ground into pulp. Two chariots collided with each other, swords and halberds fighting or blocking each other. Soldiers from both sides fought each other, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, or they were hit by galloping horses and trampled under the hooves of the horses. Tugong Ant leads an army of only 30,000 people, and we are outnumbered. How can we fight against an army of 100,000 people? In the end, the entire army was wiped out, and General Tu Gong Ant died in battle. However, the army led by General Gu Yi also suffered heavy losses, from an army of 100,000 to 50,000. Invasion of the base camp and burning of the company camp.

Standing in the port and watching the enemy's warships, these warships are lined up on the sea. The ships are tall and majestic. There are spears and flags on the ships. They are effective in attack and defense, just like a water fortress. There is a lot of space on the ship, and you can drive and move around on the deck. The building ship is divided into multiple floors. The first floor is the hut, which is the barracks for the soldiers. The second floor is high above and is the flying hut, where the generals command the battle. The top floor is the bird room, which is the observation deck on the ship. The soldiers standing on the observation tower observed the surroundings like birds. There are several building ships like this, surrounded by warships, with a war shed on the deck, which accounts for about three-quarters of the total length of the ship. The parapets on the ship are equipped with crenellations for archery. There are crossbow windows and four-way opening doors around the war shed to facilitate the crossbowmen to fire arrows and hide. Flags and golden drums are erected in the front, rear, left and right of the war shed to direct the battle. There are soldiers on the high platform at the stern of the ship to observe the situation on the water. There are thousands of such warships. Each warship is equipped with a supply ship, which can be used for combat, transportation, and life-saving. In such a large-scale maritime battle, if these warships are used at sea, the ants may not be able to win. An artist who was familiar with water warfare was hired to draw the structure of the main ship of these warships so that the ants could build warships of this size. Then they ordered the soldiers behind them to fire rockets. The soldiers behind them stepped forward, and the rockets fell like meteors, and a fire suddenly broke out. , the fire will burn these warships, it will take three days and three nights, a full three days and three nights.

The entire night sky was illuminated red. Ma Liang looked at the illuminated red sky, and then looked back. In the direction of Yazhou Base Camp, there were flames soaring into the sky, and he knew that the 30,000-strong army led by Tu Gong Ant had been completely wiped out. He sighed: "Time is also fate, maybe this is the fate of my Luo Nanzhou." It is a pity that such a sophisticated warship was burned down like this. It would be difficult for Ruluo Nanzhou to build a warship of this scale within a hundred years. Back then, Mr. Baizhen used such warships to defeat the powerful Qin army. The former majesty is no longer there.

The three kings led the army to continue the pursuit. General Yi Shi led an army of 300,000 to meet them at Lingtong. They joined the army of 500,000 led by General Fierce Ant and waited for the two million troops led by the three kings to pursue. The three kings led the army to pursue Lingtong, and saw that the army in front had already formed a formation, waiting for them to come. The Three Kings drove to a stop. King Ruluo Xi asked: "Alliance leader, why don't you see General Ma Liang?" King Ruluo Nan looked a little embarrassed. He pretended to be arrogant towards the two kings, looked at the towering peaks on the left and right, and said: "Here There are so many high mountains. If the enemy sets up an ambush on these high mountains, our army will definitely be destroyed. They are arrayed in front, and it is difficult to form an array when fighting in the mountains. Our army is scattered as soon as it rushes. It is obvious that the enemy will not use troops. It's a pity that the terrain is so bad." King Ruluo Nan deliberately changed the subject, faced the two kings behind him, and said: "Follow the ants and charge forward to annihilate the enemy troops in front." At this time, the two kings began to use a cautious approach to let King Ruluo Nanzhou rushed forward alone to consume Ruluo Nanzhou's troops, and deliberately led his army to retreat in a wait-and-see attitude. Only King Ruluo Nan led his army to charge forward alone, rushed into the enemy's formation and fought with them. This battle was the most heroic moment in King Ruluo Nan's life. He stood on the chariot and rushed towards General Yishi's chariot. General Yishi pretended to be frightened and led his army to flee.
