Ling Ning only sent 60,000 soldiers?
No.
He also brought out the gray wolves, hunting dogs, leopards, and tigers in the system. There were two to three thousand of the four animals in total.
These animals were originally mixed in the group of warriors and were not easily discovered, but they ran faster and quickly rushed to the front and became a death squad.
That's right, Ling Ning is planning to use this animal army to tear apart the defense line of Huang Yuanzhang's army, and at the same time use the animal army to intimidate the enemy.
Hunting dogs are nothing, but the deterrent power of gray wolves and leopards, especially tigers, is full.
Seeing the tigers running wildly, even if there are only five of them, it is enough to act as a great deterrent.
"It's a shame..."
Huang Yuanzhang was so desperate that he even forgot to beat the war drum.
Under his watch, the two sides finally confronted each other.
As expected, Ding He's phalanx was directly torn open, leaving no suspense.
The tiger led the leopard, gray wolf and hunting dog to charge and bite anyone on sight. The scene was extremely brutal and bloody.
This kind of killing is completely different from killing people.
"Fight back, fight back! Don't be afraid! Don't panic!"
"There are many of us, so we don't need to be afraid of these beasts!"
The captains and captains who led the troops shouted loudly to boost morale, and even led people to surround and kill the tigers themselves.
For a moment, the scene was in chaos.
At this time, the 50,000-strong army also came to kill them. Like a sharp knife, it penetrated directly into the heart of Ding He's army along the torn opening, giving the opponent a heavy blow.
In an instant, the battle turned directly towards Ling Ning.
Close the water.
When Huo Zilong and the soldiers saw this scene, they raised their arms and shouted excitedly.
"General Huo, what are you waiting for?" Jia Huaiying reminded with a smile.
Huo Zilong nodded, and immediately led the army out of the pass to attack from a pincer. The officers and soldiers of the Beiyou Army howled one by one, and the enemy troops turned into beating military achievements in their eyes.
Huang Yuanzhang felt chills all over when he saw this scene.
He confidently led an army of 250,000 to come, firmly believing that he would be able to wipe out Ling Ning, but in the end he ended up in this situation.
He wanted to turn the tide, but he was unable to do so.
First of all, he was in a worrying situation. He was attacked from both sides and had mountains on his left and right. This was a place of death.
The second is the lack of morale among the troops. The casualties were too great, coupled with the shortage of food and grass, the morale of the army was already shaken. Now that they were faced with an army of wild beasts and attacks from both front and rear, the morale of the army was completely shattered.
The most important thing is the lack of troops.
He divided the 250,000-strong army into 100,000. After excluding the dead and wounded, there are only 60,000 to 70,000 available troops left. Ling Ning's available troops were more than 60,000, not much less than Huang Yuanzhang.
It can be said that Huang Yuanzhang has regretted that he should not have sent out 100,000 soldiers and horses. He got away with it.
Right now, the only way is to organize troops and charge out. In this way, some troops can be retained and the entire army will not be destroyed.
As for wanting to capture Lishuiguan again, that's just a daydream.
But Huang Yuanzhang is not willing to give in. He is not willing to give in.
He didn't want to break out, he wanted to continue fighting and wash away his shame.
At this moment, the deputy general advised: "Master Marquis, break out of the encirclement. If you don't leave, it will be too late. The morale of the army has been lost, and the soldiers have no courage to fight. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for our army. Keep the green hills, Don’t worry about running out of firewood!”
Huang Yuanzhang was excited.
Yes, if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.
This failure is nothing. As long as you are still alive, you can make a comeback.
Thinking of this, Huang Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "Breakout!"
Then, Huang Yuanzhang used the five hundred black water knights he had carefully cultivated as his sword edge to protect Huang Yuanzhang and began to break out.
When the soldiers saw that Huang Yuanzhang had broken through, they were no longer interested in fighting. They dropped their weapons and ran away, fearing that they would be bitten to death by jackals, tigers and leopards if they ran a step slower.
Ling Ning was overjoyed when she saw this scene.
This battle is decided!
At this time, black smoke rose two kilometers away. Ling Ning knew that it was the black smoke caused by the 10,000 soldiers sent to enter Huang Yuanzhang's camp and set fire to it.
Even the camp was burned down, and Huang Yuanzhang was completely defeated in this battle.
Naturally, Ling Ning does not need to personally intervene in the next matter. His generals will pursue Huang Yuanzhang's army to maximize the results of the battle.
Ling Ning left Songshan and returned to Lishui Pass.
At this time, the official road was in a mess. Dead warriors, wailing wounded, burning siege equipment, rubble and arrows all over the ground.
War is cruel.
But Ling Ning's heart was as solid as ice, and no one could stop him from turning against Liang.
At this time, Jia Huaiying sent troops out to clean up the battlefield.
The corpses were to be burned to avoid causing a plague. Treat the wounded. Although these wounded are enemies, they become our own after treatment. We also need to collect scattered weapons and so on.
When the busy people saw Ling Ning, they immediately stood in awe and called him with adoring voices:
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
“…”
At this moment, Ling Ning's prestige was even stronger, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it was at its peak.
Of course, it's definitely not as good as when his father was alive, but it's enough.
No one will look down on Ling Ning because she is young.
When the news of this battle spreads throughout Daliang and surrounding countries, Ling Ning's reputation will surely shock the world, and the anti-Liang banner will be solidified.
I just don’t know if Emperor Liang will be so angry that he vomits blood?
"Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang, just persist in your panic. I will first annex northern Xinjiang, and then encroach on the south. Until the army reaches the outside of Kyoto, then enter the imperial city and use your blood to pay tribute to my father!"
Ling Ning's mouth was filled with cold murderous intent, looking forward to the arrival of this day.
…
Return to Lishuiguan.
Jia Huaiying came up to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord, for repelling the imperial troops. After this battle, my lord's reputation as a mighty general is astonishing throughout the world."
Ling Ning smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr.'s clever plan."
As he said that, Ling Ning looked at Wu Tianxing behind Jia Huaiying, and saw that he was smiling, but his eyes were flickering, as if he was harboring evil intentions.
Ling Ning said: "In addition, Vice General Wu's contribution is also very great, and can even be said to be crucial."
"Ah? You don't want to take a humble position!" Wu Tianxing couldn't help but panic and quickly replied.
Ling Ning smiled and said: "It's worth it. If you hadn't tipped off the news, Huang Yuanzhang wouldn't have believed that Lishui Pass was lacking troops. Huang Yuanzhang fell into the trap, and you were the first to do so."
Wu Tianxing suddenly understood that Ling Ning had already guessed his plan to surrender, so he followed the plan.
Knowing that he was doomed, Wu Tianxing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he directly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed Ling Ning in the chest with one swift movement.
Unexpectedly, at the next moment, a tiger jumped out from behind Ling Ning and knocked Wu Tianxing down. Then it bit Wu Tianxing's neck and pulled hard, causing blood to spurt out.
This tiger was not the new one from Ling Ning, but the one that killed Qian Qianzhao.
Then Jia Huaiying ordered that all the people brought by Wu Tianxing be killed without leaving any one behind.
The sun sets and night falls.
When the torches were lit at Lishuiguan, the army chasing Huang Yuanzhang's army returned.
This pursuit lasted for more than twenty miles, and the pursuit was stopped only after annihilating three to four thousand people. It was already dark and not suitable for pursuit. I am also afraid that Huang Yuanzhang will deliberately seduce him, and the loss will outweigh the gain.
The happy Ling Ning immediately ordered to serve wine and food to reward the army!
