The evening breeze blew in, bringing with it a refreshing feeling. Liu Mo took a deep breath and felt better.
It’s been almost a year since I left Rongcheng. I wonder how Shiqi and the others are doing? They must be praying for me.
And my children, I don’t know if they have learned to speak.
The eldest prince is very close to me now, and tomorrow is the day when I will fight to the death with him. He must not be able to sleep now because of tomorrow's battle.
I wonder if his subordinates are giving him advice at this time, telling him that I may have a water attack?
War is like this, full of too many unpredictable factors, and no one can predict the future. Even Liu Mo, a time traveler, has repeatedly encountered setbacks in this world.
A general must be flexible on the battlefield. Let's wait and see what the battle will be like tomorrow!
~~~
The next morning, Ming Gui set out with his troops and five thousand elite soldiers selected by Liu Mo.
Looking at the other person's retreating back, Liu Mo felt mixed emotions in his heart.
"General Ming, I will repay you in the next life!"
After that, Liu Mo led the remaining troops and set up an ambush on the only way up Tianfeng Mountain.
If the enemy sends scouts up the mountain to conduct reconnaissance, they must be prevented from returning.
After arranging everything, Liu Mo led several important generals up the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can vaguely see the battle at the foot of the mountain.
The main force of the enemy army has arrived. On the distant horizon, the sound of hoofbeats roars. It is the enemy's cavalry team. At a glance, there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 people.
Behind the cavalry, there were countless infantry phalanxes arranged in layers.
The thundering footsteps of the army as they marched were eerie.
"That's the main force of the enemy army, and all the troops of the Hu tribe are also there!" Zhu Min said.
Standing on the top of the mountain, everyone felt the pressure coming towards them.
Before that, maybe they were still wondering whether giving up their master was the wrong decision. But after seeing the enemy's main force, everyone supported Liu Mo's decision from the bottom of their hearts.
Going to the rescue is simply courting death!
With no time to rest, the enemy launched a direct attack.
The Hu tribe's wolf warrior troops attacked from the front, while the eldest prince's troops were divided into two teams and penetrated diagonally from both wings.
The enemy's idea is very simple. They rely on their superior strength to cut off the connection between the six princes' troops.
For a time, drums and drums were beating at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of killing was loud.
The sound of bows and arrows leaving their strings and blood-stained smoke rolled up in the square formations of both sides, and the fierce battle began.
"Are we going to break the embankment now?" Zhu Min asked.
Liu Mo shook his head, "It's not time yet!"
The enemy only sent the vanguard, and the main force was ten miles away. If the dike broke now, it would give the enemy's main force time to escape.
With the troops Liu Mo currently has at his disposal, he is definitely not a match for the enemy's main force.
Now, they can only stand on the top of the mountain and observe the changes on the battlefield.
The Wolf Warrior troops at the forefront quickly tore apart the Sixth Prince's defense line, but the Sixth Prince obviously had a countermeasure in advance.
They calmly directed the frontline troops to retreat behind the trenches built overnight.
After that, all the troops hid behind the trenches, borrowed fortifications, and launched attacks with bows, arrows, and spears.
This countermeasure worked very well, and soon, nearly a thousand corpses were lying in front of the trench.
At this time, the generals of the Hu tribe responded quickly. They asked the eldest prince to send out a large infantry regiment. Each of these soldiers shouldered sandbags filled with sand and had only one task: to fill the trench in front of them.
Whether it was filled with sandbags or corpses is unknown.
Following closely behind the troops were the ace troops under the eldest prince. They held shields in one hand and swords in the other, and carried five javelins on their backs.
This unit can be said to be the strongest infantry regiment in Great Xia. When they fight, they use javelins for distance and knives for close combat. They come like wind and go like lightning. Their movements are extremely flexible.
Except for not being able to fight on horseback, they are almost perfect.
In one-on-one close combat, these soldiers can overwhelm any force.
Soon, the eldest prince's troops filled the trench with their flesh and blood, and the enemy troops stepped on the filling made of corpses and sandbags, breaking through this line of defense.
About an hour later, the Wolf Warrior troops crossed the destroyed fence, which meant that the defense line built by the prince was completely defeated.
In desperation, the Sixth Prince's troops had no choice but to abandon their frontline positions and retreat all the way back.
In this way, the connection between the main forces on both wings and the two wings was completely severed.
Until now, Liu Mo finally had all the enemy's trump cards.
The total number of troops brought by the eldest prince was around 200,000. The fifteen armies of the Hu tribe, plus the traitors who defected before the battle, the total number of troops attacking the sixth prince was now around 400,000.
After the numerically superior enemy troops destroyed the first line of defense, they did not rush to continue the attack, but chose to postpone the offensive.
An army of 400,000 people formed five neat square formations. Demonstrations were also an effective means of destroying enemy morale.
The main force has all launched an attack, Liu Mo thought to himself.
"Is it time?" Zhu Min asked again.
"No!" Liu Mo answered simply, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.
He took a swig of the strong drink. When the spicy and bitter liquid flowed through his throat and into his stomach, he began to understand why generals in history loved drinking.
The taste of war is like wine, spicy and bitter.
Time passed little by little, and everyone became more and more anxious.
A bugle began to sound at the foot of the mountain, which meant that the second wave of enemy attacks had begun.
Liu Mo stood up, held his breath, and carefully observed the battlefield.
Soon after.
"Zhu Min, go quickly and notify the troops near Shuiti. Give me my order. Take action in a quarter of an hour!" Liu Mo said loudly.
"As you command!"
Everyone held their breath and watched what happened at the foot of the mountain.
A quarter of an hour is not long, but the waiting people feel that a thousand years have passed.
"Rumble, boom, boom!"
There was a loud sound that shook the sky, which was the roar from nature.
The man-made flood is coming!
"boom!"
"Snapped!"
The sound of trees falling down due to floods could be heard endlessly, mixed with the faint screams of countless people.
One after another, there were loud explosions like muffled thunder, and the floods were quickly rushing towards the two sides fighting at the foot of the mountain.
"Finally here!" Zhu Min couldn't help shouting.
With a loud noise, the battlefield was immediately flooded.
Liu Mo and everyone looked from a distance, and saw the flood at the foot of the mountain, and the rolling waves surged like a giant dragon, as if they were going to swallow everyone on both sides into the dragon's mouth.
In a short period of time, the foot of the mountain was completely submerged by the flood. Trees, trees, rocks, and soldiers on both sides all disappeared without a trace. Only some floating objects were left floating on the water, telling the living that what happened here had happened. What.
"It's all over!" Liu Mo sighed.
