Not long after, Zhang Wenbing led the Xia army all the way to the Chinese army. At this time, in front of the Chinese army's tent, He Wenhui was dressed in military uniform, and behind him were thousands of soldiers who looked like they were hastily donning armor.
"Is this the Ming General He Wenhui who is in front of you?"
Zhang Bingwen pulled the horse's reins and spoke proudly. In the front of the army, a row of Ming soldiers with neat armor and a cold light were arrayed here. The leading general held a broadsword in his hand. He looked like a god of war, majestic.
"My general, He Wenhui, who came into my camp to offer his head?"
He Wenhui shouted loudly, his sword reflecting the light of the fire, and he spoke coldly.
He thought that Zhang Wenbing would be so confident after a smooth journey, but he didn't expect that he could be so confident that he could only kill the Chinese army and not even completely capture the camp. Now that he was almost ready to celebrate in advance?
"Hahaha!"
"He Wenhui, it's time now, so stop pretending."
"You deliberately added a stove in the camp. Someone made a scarecrow to deceive me. You took the opportunity to enter Shu by another way, thinking that I couldn't see it."
"To tell you the truth, I have already set up ambushes on other roads, and they will soon go underground to accompany you."
"Remember, your killer is Daxia Zhang Wenbing!"
Zhang Wenbing laughed and looked extremely proud. At this time, He Wenhui was still bluffing. Do you really think Zhang Wenbing couldn't tell that he was so dignified?
"oh?"
"How do you know they're underground?"
"Can you see this?"
"sharp!"
"Brothers, Mr. Zhang has noticed it, but he hasn't come out yet!"
He Wenhui raised the corner of his mouth slightly and shouted loudly. The next moment, killing sounds started all around. The burning grass and soil were suddenly lifted up everywhere, and figures wearing armor and sharp swords, stained with soil, jumped out in the light of the fire. , shouted and rushed towards Xia Jun.
"kill!"
"Kill!"
"The thieves are crowned!"
…
At this moment, Zhang Wenbing's eyes widened with disbelief. Looking at the enemies crawling out of the ground one by one in front of him, Zhang Wenbing's body was trembling slightly.
"No! Impossible! Impossible!"
"how so?"
"how so?"
"Brothers, don't be afraid, they are bluffing, they are bluffing!"
Zhang Wenbing roared, wanting to mobilize the army to intercept the Ming soldiers.
However, while shouting to kill, the Xia army's formation was cut off by the Ming soldiers. In an instant, the entire Xia army could not look at each other. The officers could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find their superiors, and the Xia army soldiers were in a hurry like headless flies. In the Ming Dynasty, Being strangled, there was no resistance.
"He...they are evil spirits crawling out of the ground!"
"Help! Help!"
…
Facing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who emerged from the ground like evil spirits from the ground, the Xia soldiers whose formations were cut off panicked one by one, crying for their fathers and mothers, only regretting that their parents had given birth to two fewer legs.
"Don't panic!"
"Don't panic!"
"The Ming army only has 20,000 people, so they can't defeat us!"
Zhang Bingwen also looked pale and shouted feebly, trying his last bit of strength to boost the morale of the army.
If this military formation is completely overwhelmed by the Ming Dynasty, everything will be over. The main force of the northern defenders will be lost here, and the Jiange Pass will be in danger.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Wenbing felt a hint of regret for his rash attack, but it was too late.
In the chaotic army, no one was listening to what he said. The sound of weapons clashing, the sound of sharp knives piercing flesh, shouts of killing, crying, howling, wind, and fire all severely muffled his voice.
"Master Zhang, it's better not to waste your efforts. You can't get this great merit. He got it."
He Wenhui, holding the knife, had already arrived in front of Zhang Wenbing. The knife fell and the head was separated.
Blood splattered in his neck, and Zhang Wenbing felt a pain in his neck. Then, everything became higher and higher in his eyes. His appearance, which was comparable to that of Shu, and his rich colors were all blurred in the blood.
"Strangle the remaining thieves and follow a certain soldier into Jiange Pass today!"
He Wenhui shouted loudly, took the lead, and joined the battle group. When the sword passed by, the Xia soldiers had no ability to resist and fell to the ground one by one.
For a time, facing the encirclement and suppression of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, the inner defenses of the 30,000 Xia soldiers finally collapsed. They found that the camp had been blocked by the Ming soldiers. Even if they wanted to escape, they could not escape. Go, and finally they all knelt down one by one and chose to surrender.
Wow!
He Wenhui mounted Zhang Bingwen's war horse, put on Zhang Bingwen's clothes, ordered his subordinates to suppress Xia Guo's troops, and headed towards Jiange Pass under the banner of Zhang Bingwen.
"You go over and call the door."
He Wenhui pointed with his big hand, and one of Zhang Wenbing's former subordinates was called out by He Wenhui and pointed in the direction of Jiange Pass.
"switch!"
"switch!"
At the gate of Jiange, General Zhang Bingwen, who had surrendered to He Wenhui, had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout at the gate.
"Who are you?"
On the city tower, a Xia army soldier asked questions.
"Ge Lao Tzu!"
"You sons of bitches don't know me, don't you even know me as an adult?"
The surrender general spoke with a Shu accent and cursed directly.
The Xia Army soldiers on the tower could not clearly see the faces of the people below due to the dim light, but they could clearly recognize Zhang Wenbing's mount.
"It's your lord's flying snow pony, open the door! Open the door!"
On the city tower, a garrison commander ordered the soldiers. Immediately, two soldiers ran down and began to turn the mechanism that controlled the city gate, and began to open the door with a creaking sound.
Watching the door slowly open, the Xia Army surrender general who spoke before turned pale.
"General He, I have done what you asked. When will you let me go?"
He was trembling a little and asked He Wenhui. Surrendering to the enemy would implicate the nine tribes. However, he was slightly relieved when he thought that after this battle, He Wenhui's troops entered Shu and the Xia Kingdom would most likely be destroyed.
After he couldn't fight back, he didn't say what happened. No one knew that he had defected to the Ming army to break through Jiange Pass. He would wait until Ming Dynasty completely controlled Shuzhong.
"Not urgent."
"Brothers, fight into the prison and hold a banquet to celebrate!"
"You are the great hero of this general. How can we miss you in this celebration banquet?"
He Wenhui waved his sword and grinned at the surrendered general. Just as the door was opened, the Ming soldiers pushed aside the Xia army soldiers blocking them and rushed into the pass.
"not good!"
"It's the Ming army. The soldiers who went out to fight have been captured! Hurry! Close the city gate!"
At this moment, a Xia Army general finally reacted and called to the soldiers to close the door.
What a pity, how could it be possible?
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were like wolves and tigers. They broke into the chaotic soldiers of the Xia army like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Not to mention closing the city gate, the entire army was beaten and retreated. They couldn't even get close to the gate. The Xia army in the Ming army was either dead or wounded.
"This is my general's order. After the celebration tonight, we will go south to meet up and attack the main force of the Xia Army!"
He Wenhui waved his hand and issued his general order. Sure enough, it was a pleasure to copy the answer given by Xiao Han.
You obviously didn't understand it, but you just won. Don't be too comfortable with this feeling.
Qutang Gorge Fortress.
The torches were lined up to form a fire dragon. Under the leadership of Dai Shou, 90,000 troops were mobilized from the fortress, leaving only 10,000 to guard the fortress, and slowly moved towards the military camp set up by the Ming Dynasty on the side of the battleship.
According to the information obtained by Xia Jun, in order to facilitate the attack on the Qutang Gorge Fortress and break the iron chain, the Ming Dynasty soldiers, under the arrangement of Mu Ying, set up an army camp of 20,000 people on the shore, while the rest stayed with the navy. On the battleship.
Anyway, there is only such a large area on both sides of Qutang Gorge, so it will be useless if there are too many troops.
Soon, Dai Shou and Wu Youren rushed to a hilltop outside the Ming Dynasty military stronghold and looked towards the Ming Dynasty military formation. They saw that the military stronghold was brightly lit at this time, and there was no sign of the main force quietly transferring.
"Dai Shuai, Ming is cunning. Is it possible that he is in such a state to invite you into a trap?"
Wu Youren asked Dai Shou, he was not Zou Xing or Zhang Wenbing, and caution had almost become a habit.
"have."
"but…"
"We can't afford to bet. Once the Ming army moves south from the north, the imperial capital's protective power will not be able to stop it."
"We don't have that many warships. Once the battle report from Jiange Pass is delivered, if it is true, the Ming army may have already entered the imperial capital."
Dai Shou sighed softly, with helplessness in his eyes. This is also the most helpless part of Xia Kingdom. The depth is too small. Once the border is broken, the Ming army can march straight in and take the Xia capital directly.
"Commander Dai, the last general will invite ten thousand people to enter the Ming army's camp first."
"If it's empty, send another signal and ask the commander to come in."
Wu Youren gritted his teeth and said to Dai Shou.
The number of ten thousand people is very clever. If Ming's military camp is empty, it can directly cause a major blow to Ming. If it is ambushed, the loss will still be within the acceptable range of Xia's army.
"Master Wu..."
Dai Shou looked at Wu Youren with a trance in his eyes.
Although, from the beginning, he was not optimistic about Xia Guo's ability to defeat the Ming Dynasty, but in such a short period of time, it turned out to be like this, which was inevitably disappointing.
"If the general falls into the ambush of that young gentleman from Huaixi, please Dai Shuai to continue to defend Qutangxia Fortress, help me, and take good care of my family."
"No matter what political differences we had in the past, after all, we are all old brothers who follow Mingshuai, and we are all for Daxia."
Wu Youren raised his head and smiled at Dai Shou.
"good!"
"must!"
Dai Shou gritted his teeth and nodded immediately.
"Zhang Hu, Liu Shen..."
Wu Youren turned around, waved his hand, and summoned his generals to kill towards the Ming army camp.
It actually feels like the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and a strong man will never return once he is gone.
"For Your Majesty!"
"kill!"
Wu Youren rode his horse and carried his spear, leading ten thousand Xia troops to attack the Ming army's camp crazily.
In this battle, he didn't have much thought and simply gambled with his life. If he succeeded, he would make a great contribution and defeat the Ming army. If he failed, he would be trapped in a tight siege and die on the battlefield, waking up the friendly forces in the rear.
"Enemy attack!"
Wu Youren led his troops to fight out. In the Ming army's camp, gongs and drums rang out, frantically calling on his comrades to block Wu Youren's army.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of artillery sounded, and stone bullets roared towards Wu Youren.
However, Wu Youren's killing was so sudden that some Xia troops had already rushed into the Ming army camp, and there were not many cannons that could attack the Xia troops.
Listening to the whistling cannonballs above their heads and the rumbling sound of fire, they continued to direct the Xia army to attack the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty's counterattack was very fierce. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty soldiers was rare in the world. It caused a lot of damage to Wu Youren's troops. However, Wu Youren was not surprised but happy.
He could see that although the Ming army was organized very quickly, it was far from having a full strength of 30,000 people. The battle had been going on for some time, and the Ming army that rushed to the camp wall was only a few thousand in number.
Wu Youren insisted on relying on 10,000 people and continued to advance towards the Ming army's stronghold, which was built quite solidly.
"Sir, we seem to have guessed correctly."
General Zhang Hu said in surprise to Wu Youren.
The interior of the Ming Dynasty military camp was really empty, which meant that they didn't have to die, and they could still make meritorious deeds, receive rewards, and almost fly from hell to heaven in one fell swoop. How could it not be exciting?
"Let's go to the nearest granary in the Ming army camp."
Wu Youren narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Zhang Hu.
Be careful when sailing the ten-thousand-year ship. Wu Youren is not a person who likes to bet on destiny. It is not yet time to feel relieved, and he must conduct a thorough investigation. After all, the rain in the upper valley does not always appear at any time.
boom!
The door of a granary was violently kicked open by Xia Jun.
"Sir, do we need to transport this food away?"
Zhang Hu looked at the grain piled up into a hill on a stone platform built with stones in the granary.
"No."
"dig up this grain for me."
Wu Youren shook his head and ordered.
Zhang Hu and others were puzzled, but they still chose to obey the order and dug a small mountain of grain into pieces.
Wu Youren immediately stepped forward, grabbed a handful of the bottom grain, first put it under his nose and smelled it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it uneasily.
"There is really no smell of kerosene. Is it possible that there is no deceit?"
"Send an order to open all the granaries in the camp that we can control and check whether there are any flammable materials in them."
"In addition, open all the tents of the Ming army and see if there is any kerosene inside."
Wu Youren ordered.
"Report!"
"Sir, there is no food on the stone platforms in most of the granaries, and the rest is not stained with kerosene."
One by one, the generals reported to Wu Youren. The granaries and tents looked extremely normal, and there wasn't even much oil for cooking or wine for celebrations.
"It seems that I am worrying too much."
"The Ming army's military discipline is indeed strict, and they can actually clean up the military camp to this extent. It's a pity that all these supplies are cheap for me, Daxia."
"call!"
"Be careful not to set fire. This food belongs to us, and it may be useful later."
"Send a message to Dai Shuai. There is no ambush in the Ming army's camp and you can enter."
Wu Youren glanced around and gave instructions to his men. After such investigation, he thought that there should be no more ambushes here.
At least, the whole army would not be burned to pieces.
Whoosh!
Fireworks took off and exploded high in the sky. The fireworks at this time were not of the later generations and were not that gorgeous, but in Dai Shou's eyes, they were so dazzling.
An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you.
"Brothers, the Ming army's defenses are empty. This is when we defeated the Ming thieves and captured Mu Ying and Xiao Han. Today, I will advance and retreat with you!"
"kill!"
Dai Shou watched as Wu Youren sent out a message in the Ming army camp, and immediately ordered all the Xia army to attack the Ming army camp.
Click!
Behind the mountain where the Ming army camp was located, with the lights flickering, Xiao Han dropped a chess piece on the chessboard.
"The scented bait takes effect and the fish enters the net."
"Commander Mu, it's time to close the net."
"Let Zhu Wenzheng take action, we are still ready to leave."
Xiao Han chuckled, he had the wisdom in hand, he had been planning for a long time, and had planned multiple lines, and now he has finally reached this point.
"Feng Xue is indeed our little Mr. Huaixi. He not only predicted Xia Jun's actions, but even the timing was perfect."
Mu Ying looked at Xiao Han with eyes filled with wonder.
As the layout deepened, Xiao Han finally gradually revealed the layout of the strategy to destroy Xia to Mu Ying.
From Lan Yu's move south, to the initial attack, and then to the movement on the northern front, Xiao Han successfully predicted Xia Jun's reaction and made plans in advance at every step.
The entire battlefield, in Xiao Han's hands, was like a puppet on strings, all developing according to Xiao Han's plan.
Every time, Xiao Han dropped a sunspot representing Xia Jun, and not long after, news came that Xia Jun had reacted accordingly.
Even Mu Ying, a teammate, would feel a chill running down his spine when he saw such a person. He was so resourceful that it was more than just words.
"but…"
"Over there at Lan Yu..."
First, she admired Xiao Han's layout, and then Mu Ying was slightly worried. Although Xiao Han's plan had been successfully launched at this time, it would be very dangerous if Lan Yu couldn't defend it. After all, ten thousand people guard twenty There are tens of thousands of people, it’s difficult, it’s too difficult.
Even if it is Sapphire, if he persists until now, he has reached his limit, right?
"Don't worry."
"I also gave arrangements for Lan Yu. I regard the Duan family and Prince Liang as if they were dead bones in a tomb."
"They are just two groups of enemies who got together temporarily. In order not to betray each other, they even forced each other to choose to fight together. Such a coalition is just a mob. It only takes a little trick to make it happen in an instant. Back off.”
Xiao Han shook his head, his eyes flashing. Prince Liang and Duan were indeed two troubles, but they were just troubles. In Xiao Han's eyes, they needed to be taken care of, but they were not considered threats.
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Han never regarded Prince Liang and the Duan family in the south as a piece of cake.
The Xia Kingdom wanted to join forces with King Liang and the Duan family to fight against the Ming Dynasty. However, they did not know that sometimes it was not Lian Heng who broke through the alliance.
Suppress directly and forcefully, defeat them one by one, and you will become invincible.
"In that case."
"Then let this so-called Xia Kingdom disappear completely!"
Mu Ying's face showed murderous intent. Since Xiao Han said so, Mu Ying didn't ask any more questions. At this moment, in his eyes, Xia Kingdom no longer existed!
Immediately, Mu Ying walked to the door and shouted loudly.
"The whole army, follow my commander to kill!"
