The appearance of the reinforcements caught the enemy by surprise, but the enemy's coach was able to stay calm in the face of danger.
He quickly calmed down and then calmly directed his men to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Liu Mo also understood the principle that poor bandits should not be pursued. In addition, his troops were now exhausted and there were many wounded soldiers, so resting in place was the urgent need.
The battle ended quickly.
At this time, a cavalryman came to Liu Mo and said, "Master Liu, my master is looking for you."
"Take me there quickly, I just want to find him."
Go with whoever comes.
The leader of the reinforcements stood alone and brooding on the edge of the camp, facing the mountains where he had won.
He wore simple armor and horse shoes, almost the same as his subordinate cavalry, only the cape was the most eye-catching.
"Master Ming, Master Liu is here!"
The man turned around, Liu Mo recognized him, and knew something was wrong.
This man's name was Ming Gui, one of the Sixth Prince's most trusted generals.
He has a pair of bottomless eyes like a pool, sunken cheekbones and an angular square chin covered with a short and neat black beard, but it is difficult to hide the haggardness of his face.
He gritted his teeth, made a fist with his right hand, and tensed his neck and shoulders.
In the impression, Ming Gui has a stubborn character, like pure iron, black, hard and strong, but also easily damaged. Like iron, it will break before bending.
"Master Ming, you appeared on the right wing. Did something happen to the central army where the Sixth Prince is?"
Ming Gui frowned, "Yes." He replied, "Your Highness's Chinese army has been completely defeated by the enemy!"
"What?"
This news was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, and Liu Mo was so shocked that he was speechless for a while.
According to the previous deployment, the Sixth Prince, as the commander-in-chief, of course had to keep up with the left and right wings. In Daxia, where communication conditions are underdeveloped, if the general is too far away from the front army, information will be blocked and orders will be delayed.
So the Sixth Prince chose a place less than ten miles away from Liu Mo's right wing to station the main force. This place is close to Zhongshan Road and is located in the south of the road. Choosing this place as the main formation shows that the Sixth Prince has rich field experience.
However, this was not a perfect choice for the Sixth Prince's troops.
Because the eldest prince's troops had already arrived here and stationed soldiers and horses in the surrounding areas, the overall layout had been studied and reviewed repeatedly for several days.
In contrast, Liu Mo's side fled all the way from Minghaiguan to here, and their deployment was relatively hasty and very arbitrary.
However, even if there is a certain disadvantage in the formation deployment, it will not be defeated in one day, right?
You know, if Liu Mo's right wing encounters an enemy force that is multiple times his own, then the enemy force is unlikely to send more troops in the middle.
"What's going on?" Liu Mo asked loudly.
"Traitor? There is a traitor among us!" Ming Gui replied.
Liu Mo was shocked. "Who is it? Tell me what happened!"
turn out to be.
Just yesterday, under the command of the Sixth Prince, although the enemy army had superior strength, they could not get away with it.
The battle situation was a stalemate of one advance and one retreat.
And by noon yesterday afternoon: the two sides were fighting in a stalemate, with no one gaining a clear advantage. But at this moment, the left-wing general Ling Sheng suddenly rebelled and led his men to attack the sixth prince's central army.
Although the Sixth Prince used his troops carefully and made arrangements to guard the right wing.
But his original intention was that he was afraid that the right wing would be defeated by the enemy, so he made a conservative defense plan. He never expected that his most trusted right wing general would betray him.
Although the initial attack was resisted, the enemy's offensive was overwhelming and they were defeated that night.
In the early morning of the next day, under attack from two sides by the enemy, the Sixth Prince's central army collapsed.
As a guerrilla force, Minggui shuttled between battlefields according to previous deployments, providing support and conveying intelligence at any time.
When he discovered that the left-wing generals had rebelled and wanted to go to support the Chinese army, it was already too late.
The battle situation changed too quickly. When his guerrilla troops arrived at the central army, they saw only corpses everywhere.
At this time, seeing the smoke rising from the right wing, he immediately led the guerrilla troops to support him.
Fortunately, Liu Mo held on long enough and was able to repel the enemy troops on the right wing.
"Then where is the Sixth Prince now?" Liu Mo asked.
"According to reports from spies, His Highness is fleeing with the troops to the foot of Tianfeng Mountain!"
Hearing this, Liu Mo fell into deep thought. Ming Gui already knew the whereabouts of the sixth prince, but he did not go to rescue him. This could only mean one problem: the enemy's pursuit force was too strong.
Therefore, he appeared on the right wing in time to repel the enemy for Liu Mo.
But now, Ming Gui's expression allowed Liu Mo to conclude that even with the right-wing troops, they might not be able to relieve the Sixth Prince.
"Master Liu, your subordinates are exhausted. In my opinion, it's best to rest for a day and make plans tomorrow!"
Such advice is very conservative and calm.
According to the information currently available, the Sixth Prince's central army was defeated by the traitors.
It is unclear how many troops are left.
Exactly where he escaped is unclear.
It is unclear how many enemy troops there are.
In ancient times when information was underdeveloped, if you blindly sent troops to rescue, you might fall into the enemy's trap, and you would lose the war completely.
"Calm down!" Liu Mo warned himself, "Okay, after dinner, I want to hold an emergency military meeting!"
Minggui nodded in agreement.
When night fell that day, we were in the tent.
After listening to Ming Gui's message, everyone was silent. Everyone looked at Liu Mo, waiting for Liu Mo to make up his mind.
However, Liu Mo was sitting there with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
"What should we do?" Ming Gui asked. He was assigned to be a guerrilla general and obviously did not have the brains to formulate a strategy.
As for Liu Mo, after analyzing all the information brought by Ming Gui and carefully examining the terrain of Tianfeng Mountain, he also had a plan to defeat the enemy.
But, that plan was too...
"Master Liu, please tell me quickly. I know you already have a good strategy to defeat the enemy!" Zhu Min asked anxiously.
Liu Mo slowly opened his eyes and replied, "I want to defeat the enemy with water!"
"Water attack?" Everyone was puzzled.
Liu Mo stood up and pointed to the sand table in the middle, "Tianfeng Mountain is here. The terrain of this mountain is high, and there is a water lift on the top of the mountain..."
Then, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ming Gui's men, "Absolutely not possible, Mr. Liu, your plan is completely impossible!"
When he heard this, Liu Mo just smiled slightly and was not surprised at all.
Because he himself felt that this plan was too cruel.
Why?
Because the Sixth Prince and his remaining troops were at the foot of the mountain, Liu Mo's water attack plan was to cost the lives of the Sixth Prince and all his troops and perish together with the enemy.
Not only that, but hundreds of thousands of people will be implicated.
