The army was approaching, and Meng Guan was a little confused now.

Facing such an elite Qi Wannian army, he was originally full of confidence, but now his confidence has become a little lacking.

This is one of them.

Of course, if you just sit back and wait for death, the outcome will never be much better.

Meng Guan's hesitation only lasted a moment.

If you wait until the tower is close to the city wall, it will be too late.

"Light the beacon."

"promise."

In an open space in Mianchi City, a pile of wood has been prepared for a long time.

The fire was lit, and the fire shot into the sky with thick black smoke.

This kind of black smoke can be seen from a radius of ten miles.

Outside the city, the ten thousand troops ambushed naturally saw the thick smoke.

They had been ambushing between the mountain gates, and the Qi Wannian army was actually within his sight.

Of course they knew that the commander's camp was stationed less than five miles away from them, and that the 40,000 to 50,000 troops in front had already begun to attack the city.

Now if they follow the original plan, there may be changes, and the outcome may be that they will be attacked from both sides.

The lieutenant general thought about everything at this moment, and immediately made a decision and said: "At this time of crisis for the survival of the sincerity, Lieutenant You Qu, you lead three thousand people from your headquarters to raid Qi Wannian's camp. You do not seek any merit, but

If you can kill Qi Wannian, you will be the greatest hero of the Western Expedition."

That You Quwei quickly stood up.

Although there was joy on his face, the joy did not last long, and then it was replaced by sadness.

"It's just that there are tens of thousands of people stationed in Qi Wannian's camp, and they are all cavalry. If we fail to behead them, won't we become easy targets for the cavalry?"

There are indeed places where people are hiding around Mianchi, but the overall terrain can be said to be a plain. On this terrain, cavalry versus infantry is basically a massacre.

"Qi Wannian would never have thought that an army would come out from behind him. When the time comes, can't you just snatch their horses?"

This sounds nice, but some of the Huns' war horses recognized their owners.

But having said that, You Quwei also knew that he could not refuse the deputy general's order at this time.

It all depends on your own fate whether you will end up being sealed as a wife or a corpse wrapped in horse leather.

On the battlefield, Goddess of Luck's favor is very important.

Many capable people were reduced to withered bones on the battlefield.

On the contrary, some people who are not very capable are able to survive in chaos and remain immortal.

so

Sometimes, luck is also part of strength.

After the division of labor, the deputy general took action immediately without delaying the work.

Weihou Youqu was at the same place, and after he gathered his soldiers hidden in the ravine to reorganize briefly, he began to attack.

With the sound of the bugle, the torrent behind them rushed towards the siege team.

Shortly after the trumpet sounded, the gate of Mianchi City opened wide, and the first people to rush out were the infantry, followed by the archers, and then the cavalry.

The sudden attack from two sides overwhelmed the siege team.

They were not the most elite troops to begin with. Some of them were Han people who had surrendered, and some were foreigners from the Malanqiang, Lu, and Shuihu tribes.

Even with good equipment, facing this situation, the leading siege team was still in chaos.

Not to mention that although these siege weapons are good, they are only for siege. Can you still kill people while carrying a ladder?

Before Meng Guan's army could rush forward, the soldiers rushing toward the building and carrying the ladders became chaotic.

Of course, the few who were calm were also caught up in the panic and eventually became part of the panicked crowd.

On the battlefield, one move can affect the whole body.

Otherwise, there would be no story about the Battle of Feishui, where every tree and plant is at war.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, King Fu Jian of Qin led 900,000 infantry and cavalry to attack the Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River.

The generals of the Jin army, Xie Shi and Xie Xuan, led 80,000 troops to resist. Fu Jian learned that the Jin army was insufficient in strength, so he wanted to win with more troops and seize the opportunity to attack quickly.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jian's 250,000 vanguard troops were unexpectedly defeated by the Jin army in the Shouchun area. They suffered heavy losses. The general was killed and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed or injured. The Qin army's spirit was greatly dampened, its morale was shaken, and the soldiers were terrified and fled one after another. At this time,

, Fu Jian saw the Jin army's orderly ranks and high morale on Shouchun City. Looking north at Bagong Mountain, he saw that every plant and tree on the mountain looked like Jin soldiers.

The unlucky start cast an ominous shadow on Fu Jian's mind. He ordered his troops to deploy on the north bank of the Fei River in an attempt to use the geographical advantage to reverse the situation. At this time, the general of the Jin army, Xie Xuan, made a request that the Qin army retreat a little and give way.

place in order to cross the river and fight.

Fu Jian secretly laughed at the Jin generals who did not understand common sense in combat, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Jin army was busy crossing the river and difficult to fight, and launched a surprise attack on it, so he readily accepted the Jin army's request.

Unexpectedly, when the army was ordered to retreat, the Qin army collapsed like a tide, while the Jin army took advantage of the situation and crossed the river to pursue them, killing the Qin army until they abandoned their helmets and armor, leaving corpses scattered all over the ground.

This is the battle of Feishui where grass and trees are all soldiers.

Likewise, this is also the reason why deserters are killed on the battlefield.

If there is one deserter, if this momentum is not killed in time, this one deserter will become two deserters, three deserters, and finally become a rout.

Behind the surrender of the Han people and the soldiers of Malan, Qiang, Lu, and Hu, there was this group of people.

In the military formation, Hao Duyuan was wearing a silver breastplate, holding a scimitar in his hand, but his brows were deeply furrowed.

Go out of the city to fight

Isn't this seeking death?

Not only are his men powerful in numbers, they also form an encirclement against him.

It was as if he had laid a big pocket outside the city, and Meng Guan's army crashed into the pocket.

Doesn't the commander-in-chief of the Han army know that with just a few clicks, he can put these people in his pocket and gradually eat them away?

He was very confused, but Hao Duyuan did not give up this golden opportunity.

He immediately arranged his troops in formation.

The cavalry on both sides immediately surrounded him.

The 20,000 troops that originally gathered beside Hao Duyuan immediately turned into 5,000.

Five thousand people are holding the line, ready to assist at any time.

But as soon as his soldiers were released, there was a burst of noise behind them.

"what sound?"

Hao Duyuan was shocked and turned around, only to find that Han troops also appeared behind him.

Looking at that momentum, it's not as unbearable as Qi Wannian said.

Hao Duyuan had a vague feeling of something bad in his heart.

The Han troops from the rear rushed in before Hao Duyuan's troops could get into formation.

In just an instant, the formation was dispersed.

Hao Duyuan was also trapped in the chaos.

When he was confused, the whole situation was in chaos.

He is the brains of this army. When this brain does not work well, this army can only rely on its own instincts.

The chaos caused by the broken formation was far more than that.

There were originally five thousand soldiers behind to prevent deserters. When this layer of defense was broken down, the Han surrender troops and the soldiers of Malanqiang Lu Shuihu who were in close combat with Meng Guan's main army in front immediately dispersed towards the rear.

.

"Don't retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed."

Seeing this scene, Hao Duyuan's eyes were about to burst, but there was nothing he could do.

Even if he roars with all his strength now, to this battlefield, his voice is like a drop of water blending into the rough ocean, unable to stir up even a small ripple.

Once a retreat is formed, it is difficult to stop it.

Once this wave of deserters formed, the soldiers who had stayed on their own front suddenly became shaken.

then

It means that the army is defeated like a mountain.

With a bang, a large number of Hu troops began to retreat.

At this time, the difference between elite soldiers and those brave soldiers was revealed.

Although these barbarians were born warriors, they had not received much military education, and their discipline was even worse.

If these Hu troops were replaced by Zhang Hong's Chinese army, even if such a situation occurred, that army would still be like a boulder in the waves, motionless.

Of course, the main reason why Qi Wannian's army collapsed so quickly was because of the cannon fodder army in front.

Those cannon fodder troops were originally forced to die by Qi Wannian.

Someone behind them had held a knife against them before, and they had to fight for their lives.

But after the knife behind them was gone, their defeat was not surprising at all.

On the city wall, Meng Guan naturally has an excellent grasp of the overall situation.

He knew that the situation outside Mianchi had been decided.

What he wants most now is to have Qi Wannian in his hands.

Whether it's a corpse or a living person.

To him, it doesn't matter.

Now that the situation has been decided, the thousand soldiers who stayed in the city also left and became ruthless harvesters of life.

The remaining Mianchi Xiangyong also started to move.

Now their task is not to be cannon fodder, but to be executioners.

Merciless executioner.

In Qi Wannian's military tent, the Hu people's emperor Qi Wannian was immersed in his great dream of the Spring and Autumn Period. Unexpectedly, suddenly, there was a sound of panic outside the camp.

swish swish

Arrows continued to fly, and the main military tent received special care.

puff

An arrow even passed through the tent and penetrated directly into Qi Wannian's left arm.

In an instant, blood flowed out.

"hiss"

Qi Wannian let out a low roar.

There are really too many doubts in his mind now.

How did these people get into his military tent?

It was obvious that Hao Duyuan had already surrounded Mianchi.

Why is there still someone outside his tent?

Could it be that Hao Duyuan was defeated?

But Qi Wannian immediately shook his head.

With the level of the Han army in Mianchi, it was impossible for Hao Duyuan to defeat him.

Then why?

Although Qi Wannian was very confused, he quickly swept these thoughts out of his mind.

No matter what, the top priority is to save your own life.

After leaving the main tent, Qi Wannian found that the leader of Malan Qiang Lu Shuihu had already been waiting outside.

"Your Majesty, the Han army suddenly appeared. We had no time to stop them. Now they are almost inside the tent."

"How many Han people are there and they can't stop them?"

The arrows have all landed on me, and Qi Wannian also knows what the current situation is.

"Gather the warriors and fight back the Han invaders."

"Your Majesty, the camp is in chaos now. It's a big mess. The only people we have gathered together are these more than a hundred warriors."

If more than a hundred people rush forward, isn't that looking for death?

At this point, Qi Wannian has no choice but to withdraw.

There were horses outside the main tent. Qi Wannian climbed on the horses and headed towards the county town.

He must first escape, and then gather the remaining soldiers along the way.

The current situation is too chaotic.

And if he retreats, won't Hao Duyuan be attacked from both sides?

Qi Wannian's heart was very complicated, but he could only save his own life first.

Think about other things after you save your own life.

What Qi Wannian didn't know was that the army led by Hao Duyuan had long been in chaos.

Meng Guan led the army and fought twenty miles all the way from Mianchi before stopping.

It was not that Meng Guan was willing to stop, but he just wanted to stop chasing the enemy. In addition, the sky was already dark, and the soldiers who had been killing him all night were tired.

If the pursuit continues, if reinforcements from Qi Wannian arrive from the direction of Hongnong County, the result will be different.

Gather the army, food and fodder, kill all the surrendered soldiers, and collect their heads.

In addition to simple defense, the entire army rested.

The whole army was in excitement at this time, but everyone knew that there would be a tough battle tomorrow.

On the other side, Qi Wannian was as panic-stricken as a lost dog. He only arrived at the county town after it was completely dark.

Upon entering the county town, this group of remnant soldiers and defeated generals immediately attracted the attention of the people in the county town.

Looking at the gazes of these people, Qi Wannian's originally frightened heart suddenly became frightened.

The ants dare not fight against the giant dragon, but if the giant dragon is already dying.

These ants don't mind coming together to kill the dragon.

now

He is the dying dragon.

After hurriedly arriving at the palace, Qi Wannian immediately summoned the leaders of the Lushui Humalan Qiang.

"How many warriors have been gathered now."

"Your Majesty, there are more than ten thousand, and"

In the middle of speaking, the Malanqiang leader quickly closed his mouth, with a look of hesitation on his face.

"No matter how bad the current situation is, how bad it can get is up to you to talk to me."

Qi Wannian had said this, and the Malanqiang leader immediately said: "General Hao Duyuan was also defeated in the front, and the losses were much greater than those of your Majesty."

"Isn't this Han army a remnant of defeated generals?"

The flesh on Qi Wannian's face twitched, as if he had thought of something, and he shouted: "Call me the cavalry leader, I will kill him."

Now Qi Wannian is full of rage and urgently needs to find a place to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty, the cavalry leader has died in battle."

These words from the Malanqiang leader made Qi Wannian's angry face soften.

Now

He didn't even have anyone to vent his anger on.

Qi Wannian sat down in vain, as if he had lost his energy.

"Are the Han people so powerful?"

The confidence that Qi Wannian had gained from his previous consecutive victories was completely lost in this battle.

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy from the King of Hejian outside the palace asking to see you."

King of the River?

Before, he would never have met.

But now, Qi Wannian's eyes were shining as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Let them in."
