Xiao Jingren stood at a high place and saw that five thousand cavalry were already rolling in the mud and sinking into the soft mud.
It turns out that the rivers in Xingluo Grassland cannot enter the sea, and they merge into lakes in the grassland, which gradually dry up and turn into mud.
This large mud puddle has a radius of more than ten miles, and the soft mud is tens of feet deep. Many of them are loaches and reptiles, but they are inaccessible to humans and animals. It is covered with heavy snow, and there are no traces on it. If you are not a local in Xingluo, it will be difficult to know. .
Liu Mo learned about this situation from Xingluo's population, so he made a plan to ambush here. At the same time, he imitated Sun Bin, the Earth Soldier Saint, and used fewer cooking stoves to confuse the Zhou Dynasty army.
Xiao Jingren was tempted to pursue him fiercely, and he was driven into despair.
Liu Mo led Zhuolun and others to stand on the sand dunes to watch the battle. They saw more and more Zhou Dynasty soldiers getting stuck in the mud. The people in the rear group wanted to run away, but they felt as if they had already dug a deep ditch and it was difficult for the horses to cross.
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were forced from three sides, trampled on each other, and squeezed into the mud one by one involuntarily.
The sand and mud slowly rose from the feet to the thighs, to the knees, and then to the waist.
Countless soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty screamed and screamed wildly in the mud, and it was unbearable to hear.
When the sand and mud rose to his mouth, the shouting stopped, but he saw his hands waving. After a while, his whole body sank into the mud.
More than 30,000 soldiers of the Great Xia Xingluo Alliance held shields in their left hands and raised the sleeves of their right hands. The light of their swords and the white snow complemented each other. They silently gathered outside the deep ditch to monitor. The two teams of elite soldiers couldn't help but pounce on the Zhou army.
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty became fewer and fewer as they fought. In less than half an hour, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were all forced into the mud.
Zhuolun saw countless soldiers and horses rolling in the mud, fighting, hugging, crying, and struggling desperately. He couldn't bear it and turned his head away, unable to bear to watch.
Huo Ayi laughed and shouted in ecstasy. Suddenly he stopped shouting and said to Liu Mo: "Your Majesty, I said the wrong thing a few days ago. Don't be offended. It's really my fault that I am too impatient."
Liu Mo smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter."
The other generals and tribal chiefs who had previously opposed this fell to their knees, kowtowed to Liu Mo, and said, "The villain deserves to die. I don't know that the king has another clever plan to attack the king. You don't remember the villain's fault!"
"Get up, I won't blame you!" Liu Mo said with a smile.
Huo Ayi danced and laughed, and said again: "Your Majesty is really a mastermind, the God of the Army of Great Xia, the God of the Army of Great Xia!"
At this time, most of the Zhou Dynasty had sunk into the mud without a trace, and the remaining few men and horses were half-submerged and unable to move. They could only wave and howl, and the surrounding areas were filled with miserable shouts.
After a while, the screams gradually fell silent, and the large mud swallowed up the thirty thousand Zhou Dynasty. There were no traces of men, horses, swords, guns, or iron armor, only hundreds of flags scattered in the mud.
Suddenly, Liu Mo frowned, because he saw a man wearing the armor of a Zhou Dynasty general, rushing through a bloody path under the protection of more than a hundred Zhou Dynasty generals, and was about to escape.
"Could it be Yang Yizhi!" Liu Mo thought to himself, "Tang Die, as I said, you lead fifty of the strongest warriors to surround and kill the enemy commander! Huo Ayi, lead three hundred men to annihilate him. Soldiers around.”
Tang Die and Huo Ayi immediately rode forward, "Yes!"
"Be careful, the other party is extremely skilled!" Liu Mo reminded, "There is no need to leave anyone alive!"
Tang Die nodded, then picked up the reins and galloped away, followed closely by hundreds of Star Luo warriors.
Liu Mo stood on a high place and watched the enemy commander scream and grab his sword. But what Liu Mo didn't know was that the commander was Xiao Jingren, not Yang Yizhi.
Daxia soldiers surrounded them from all directions. Xiao Jingren stepped over one person and slashed at the ghostly Xingluo warriors who were avoiding him with his sword.
Huo Ayi grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward. The horseshoe made of fine steel hit a Zhou Chao in the face, making a sickening crackling sound. The second man dodged, and in an instant Huo Ayi had knocked over the third Zhou Dynasty soldier.
Xiao Jingren's soldiers over there cursed loudly, and were dragged off the dying horse by the Xingluo warriors, swords raining down like rain.
Xiao Jingren galloped towards him on horseback, and struck a Xingluo soldier on the helmet with his sword. The momentum made him grit his teeth. The Xingluo warrior staggered and knelt down, the top of his helmet split in two, and blood flowed down his face.
At this time, Tang Die was seen rushing into the killing array, immediately causing a bloody storm.
After Xiao Jingren chopped down a Xingluo warrior, Tang Die was already in front of him.
"It would be great if Tang Qingfeng were here." Liu Mo couldn't help but sigh.
The swords collided, and there was a "clang" sound, making a loud sound that shook the bones.
What surprised Liu Mo was that Tang Die had always had the upper hand from the very beginning of the battle.
Stab step by step, tease step by step, slash step by step, chop, chop, speed, speed, speed...
Until the end, Xiao Jingren's mount slipped and fell into the mud with a rumble. Then, a group of Xingluo warriors cut off the legs of Xiao Jingren's mount, dragged him to the ground, and surrounded him with swords raised and lowered...
"Is he dead?" Liu Mo thought excitedly, "The majestic prince of the Zhou Dynasty, the 'Military God' of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the 'Ink Viper' in the mouth of Daxia soldiers, his lifelong rival! He died like this?"
At this time, Zhuolun, Sun Kan and other generals came forward and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have created another miracle. Killing the incomparable 'Black Viper' is truly an unparalleled feat."
Liu Mo showed a smile and shouted an order, "The army will go east and gather near the Blackwater River."
As soon as the order was issued, each team began to execute the order.
Soon after, Tang Die came on horseback with the head of the enemy coach.
Liu Mo was so uneasy that he raised his head, took a closer look, and sighed.
"Hey...this person is not Xiao Shen!" Liu Mo announced helplessly.
This sigh caused the generals to frown.
"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty is like a god with his troops. He will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." Zhuo Lun said with a smile.
Then, the army galloped eastward.
In the evening, the brigade arrived at the south bank of the Blackwater River. A cavalryman came angrily and reported: "Your Majesty is in trouble. Enemy troops were found in the east and are rushing towards our vanguard. The general Abdu of the first team was killed, Reheman of the second team was seriously injured, and the soldiers of the two teams suffered heavy casualties." .”
Liu Mo frowned when he heard this, "This is Yang Yizhi's main force!" He thought to himself.
So he ordered: "Hua Yi, you lead five thousand reinforcements to rescue! You must not let a single enemy soldier cross the river!"
Huo Ayi immediately took the order and went there.
Zhuo Lun said: "Your Majesty, why are you only sending five thousand people? Why don't we all go to reinforce?"
Liu Mo shook his head and said: "No, father-in-law!" He turned around and ordered: "The whole army rests on the spot, no fire is allowed, no sound is allowed, everyone eats dry food."
"Mo'er...this!"
"I have made up my mind! No need to say anything!" Liu Mo said sharply.
After the order was passed, tens of thousands of troops rested silently in the darkness.
The splashing sound of the Blackwater River could be heard in the distance, and the thunderous killing cries of Zhou Chao and Huo Ayin's reinforcements were heard.
~~~
Not long after, a cavalryman rushed over and reported: "General Huo Ayin is seriously injured, and the troops sent for reinforcements cannot withstand it!" Liu Mo's face darkened and he said: "He...isn't dead?"
"The soldiers protected him and retreated. His life is not in danger for now!"
"Sun Kan, you lead three thousand elite soldiers to reinforce!" Sun Kan nodded, raised his sword high, agreed loudly, and led the team.
At this time, Zhuolun said: "Mo'er, let me go and fight too, okay?"
Liu Mo shook his head and said: "Everyone worked hard just now, please take a rest."
Zhuo Lun saw that he was commanding the army with great majesty, so he stopped insisting.
Not long after Sun Kan went up, he shouted loudly, indicating that the two sides were fighting fiercely.
After a while, Liu Mo saw that the soldier's energy had returned. He immediately gave the order: "Father-in-law, you lead 20,000 troops to detour to the east and ambush, while the other tribes ambush in the west."
Then, he waved the long sword "Oath" in his hand and said: "Warriors of Xingluo, kill them!"
The crowd rushed forward with the support of their own soldiers. The further they ran, the louder the killing sounds became. As we galloped closer, the sound of gold and iron clashing was loud and loud.
I saw Xingluo soldiers struggling to hold on to the main road, and the Zhou Dynasty troops rushed forward to snatch it.
Liu Mo shouted sternly: "Xingluo warriors in front, retreat!"
The Xingluo soldiers guarding the main road withdrew to both sides, and thousands of Zhou Dynasty soldiers swarmed in.
"Now!" Another order was given.
The archers on both sides of the main road sprinkled a shower of flaming arrows. They drew arcs in the air. Their trajectories were ever-changing, yet orderly and chaotic, devouring all life that blocked their progress.
Many people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and their shouts turned into howls. At this time, the second wave of attacks had fallen from the sky, and the archers put the third arrow on the bowstring.
Liu Mo waved his flag and "pull away the wooden sticks"!
Hundreds of Xingluo warriors had already led their horses and hid them under the river bank. The wooden beams on the bridge had been loosened in advance and tied to the horses with thick ropes. With an order, the reins were loosened and the horses whipped, and more than a hundred horses galloped toward the bridge. forward.
Only a few loud bangs were heard, the wooden beams were pulled away, the wooden bridge immediately broke, and nearly a thousand soldiers on the bridge fell into the river. The Zhou army was immediately divided into two parts, facing each other across the river, unable to save each other.
This is part of Liu Mo's strategy to defeat the enemy.
Yang Yizhi was a master of military warfare and cautious in his actions. Even if he were to follow Sun Bin's plan of reducing the number of stoves, he would definitely only send some cavalry to pursue him.
According to the topography of Xingluo, he set up an ambush on the river that the pursuit must pass through, and caught him off guard.
Then, Liu Mo waved the command flag again.
"Woooooooooooo!" The charging horn sounded.
The Xingluo warriors lying in ambush on both sides came up to cover them up.
However, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were well-trained. Although they were in chaos, they still listened to the commands of the staff leaders and assistant leaders, gathered together, and formed a formation.
However, the Xingluo warriors rushed hundreds of steps in front of the Zhou Dynasty formation and suddenly stopped.
Liu Mo made another move with Ling Qi.
There were only booms and booms, and the loud noises were deafening and filled with dust.
It turned out that the huge rocks thrown by the catapults on both sides only caused blood and flesh to fly. The team was immediately in chaos. Arrows were shot from the opposite side. They had nowhere to escape and fell into the river one after another. The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were so heavy in armor that they immediately sank to the bottom when they fell into the river.
At this time, Liu Mo shouted: "Kill!"
