Chapter 144 Raid (Part 2)
"It's on fire, come and put the fire out."
"There is an enemy setting fires, come and kill the enemy quickly."
The enemy's shouts sounded around, and then more and more enemies rushed over. Seeing this, Huang Yuan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy is here, retreat quickly."
The soldiers of a thousand camp fought and retreated, and disappeared into the mountains after killing a group of chasing enemies.
On Gao Shun's side, Gu Dingfeng, who was still fighting with him, also discovered the fire in the baggage camp. He was shocked. While resisting Gao Shun's attack, he shouted loudly: "Hurry up... and go and put out the fire... bastard."
"It's done." Gao Shun was overjoyed. Seeing that the fire was soaring into the sky, Huang Yuan and the others should have succeeded. He quickly roared and shot back Gu Dingfeng. His roar was a secret code for retreat. After hearing this, he was shocked by the two thousand soldiers of the camp surrounded by the crowd. The two thousand people immediately changed the formation, the back formation changed to the front formation, and rushed towards the direction of the camp gate.
These two thousand soldiers who were trapped in the formation were all fearless and shouted in unison: "The ambition to trap the formation is to die but not live." He forced a bloody path among the more than 100,000 troops and finally left.
"Don't chase the enemy, wait and go to put out the fire."
Looking at the enemy's commander who was pressing the formation behind and gradually disappeared into the jungle, Gu Dingfeng's face was extremely gloomy. It turned out that the purpose of the enemy's attack on the camp today was to burn his logistics supplies. It was really hateful.
It seems that General Gu was confused by Gao Shun's actions again, and guessed the purpose of leading his army to steal the camp. Haha, this is also considered Gao Shun's misfortune.
The fire in the baggage camp was finally put out. Gu Dingfeng patrolled with a gloomy face. Looking at the most of the burned food and other supplies, he felt extremely regretful.
"Has the loss statistics been released?" Gu Dingfeng took a deep breath, looked at the adjutant beside him and asked.
"Return to the general..... The statistics are out...." The adjutant looked at him carefully and replied.
"Then why don't you talk about it quickly." Gu Ding's atmosphere was in a hurry.
"General, fortunately our people arrived in time, and only half of the food we carried was burned down. The remaining half were snatched out."
The adjutant said a little gladly.
"Only half is left? Don't tell me, the amount of food that our 200,000 army can only be used in a week is three or four days left?" Gu Dingfeng said with a dark face and gritted his teeth.
"General, I really only snatched so many out. All the rest were burned to ashes." The adjutant was frightened by Gu Dingfeng's shout and said with a sad face.
"Forget it." Gu Dingfeng's face changed several times, and finally sighed, "By the way. Are there any statistics on the casualties over there?"
"God general, we have come out. We have more than 1,300 people died and injured more than 800 people in this battle." Another general of the Central Army standing behind Gu Feng said.
"What about the enemy?"
"Enemy...the enemy only left more than sixty corpses. As for the unknown condition of the injury, they all took them away."
"Hmph! A bunch of waste. The 200,000 army could not even keep a few thousand people, and it was a shame to let them leave calmly!"
Gu Dingfeng's mood was extremely bad at this moment. He snorted coldly, glared at the general of the Central Army, and threw his hand away from here.
Gao Shun and the others rushed out and joined the third brigade in the depths of the forest. Today's battle can be said to be a complete victory. These soldiers were very excited. After all, they made such great contributions when they officially went to the battlefield for the first time, which really made them full of confidence and fighting spirit.
"General, this battle is so fucking so fucking. These enemies are just useless and are simply vulnerable." Huang Yuan walked to Gao Shun and touched his head and smiled.
Gao Shun glanced at him and said lightly: "Okay. Today's battle was purely because we were lucky. We caught the enemy off guard. After all, the enemy had a total of 200,000 troops, but due to terrain and other issues, there were not many directly fighting with us head-on. Most of the enemies were just surrounded by the periphery. Later, the enemy was completely shocked by us, and the fire on the baggage side was together. The morale of the enemy fell even more, so we were able to fight a bloody path and escape successfully." Gao Shun's words were also a summary of the battle just now. There were indeed many factors that benefited them in the middle when the battle was so smooth today.
"Haha. General, no matter what, we won anyway, right?" Huang Yuan laughed, "I don't care whether he is lucky or not. General, we have to let our third brigade go on the battlefield and kill the enemy next time."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let the soldiers eat something and rest on the spot. There is still something to do tomorrow morning." Gao Shunheng glanced at him and said.
"Yes, General."
………
In the west city of Shanyue Prefecture, a battle had just ended, and the 200,000 Western Route Army led by Su Chengyun took down the city with almost no effort.
Sitting in the city lord's mansion that had just been cleaned up, Su Chengyun looked deep outside the lobby and fell into deep thought.
Sitting beside him was his fellow countryman Lin Qiao and his brother who joined the army when he was young. Since the day he joined the army, these two have been Jiao Buli Meng. Meng Buli, trained, fought together, and married together. Now they have become the chief and deputy commander of the Western Route Army, and their relationship is extremely deep.
Seeing Su Chengyun silent for a long time, Lin Qiao and Xiaowei said with a little concern: "General, why are you so distressed?"
"Hu~" Hearing Lin Qiaoyu's question, Su Chengyun let out a light breath, reached out to rub his forehead and said, "Qiao Yu, Brother Wei has been worried about something."
"Is it the strategy of dividing troops proposed by Prince Jingchou?" Lin Qiaoyu glanced at him and asked for hesitation.
"Yes, Prince Jingchou is still too young and proud. He divided his troops into three places and wanted to occupy the entire western states of Tianfeng Kingdom as soon as possible." Su Chengyun nodded and said, "But he underestimated the Zhenxi Marquis of Tianqingzhou too much. I have done research on this person's several battles before the war started. Xiao Tianci, the Zhenxi Marquis of Zhenxi, is not a good person to talk to. From the several battles he broke out with his uncle Xiao Shiyun, it can be seen that this person is in a wild and clever battle with his uncle Xiao Shiyun.
And there are also a group of fierce generals who are good at fighting, which is definitely not comparable to other local forces in the Tianfeng Kingdom. So I have been worried over the past few days that our 800,000 army invaded Shanyuezhou this time, and Xiao Tianci must have been prepared for it. But why there was no movement? Could it be that he was planning a conspiracy? What I am most worried about now is that Xiao Tianci set up a trap in front and wanted to break us one by one. If this is the case, it would be troublesome."
"General, the matter has come to this point, it's useless to think so much. You and I are outsiders. This time they are the main force of the Tianxing Kingdom. But what they can't understand is why the Tianxing Kingdom sent their prince to lead the army. Don't they know that this Prince Jingchou has never been to the battlefield?" Lin Qiaoyu frowned secretly, and said with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Hmph, it's just a momentum. The Tianxing Kingdom thought that this time the two countries sent troops would definitely be able to take over the Tianfeng Kingdom. Therefore, Prince Jingchou would volunteer. The purpose is nothing more than gilding, so it would be more guaranteed for him to successfully ascend to the Tianxing Kingdom's throne in the future." Su Chengyun snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Qiao and you will leave some soldiers to station in this city, and then gather the large army. We will set off immediately as soon as the sky is dawn."
"Yes, General."
....
As soon as the sky was dawn, Gu Dingfeng, who was so angry, shouted that the troops would put away the camp and go on the road. The moment Gao Shun came to him last night really made him extremely depressed. Nearly half of the food was burned. If he didn't hurry to the next town within three or four days, his 200,000 troops would have no food to use.
So early in the morning he urged to get on the road. The 200,000 army stretched for more than ten miles, walking sparsely on the mountain path.
On the other side, Gao Shun had already met with Zhao Yun who was rushing to come. The two men and horses together were hanged several miles behind Gu Dingfeng, and followed them blatantly, deliberately letting the spies sent by Gu Dingfeng find their traces.
"General Zhao. Do you think we will continue to act separately, or will the two armies join together?" Gao Shun looked at the handsome general in front of him in white armor and silver robe, and asked. Although he was summoned one step ahead of Zhao Yun, he also knew that this person's strength was in the realm of a god of war. In the army of martial arts, General Zhao was definitely the object of worship.
"General Gao doesn't need to be polite. You and I are both under the command of the lord. We must work together in this battle to share our worries for the lord." Zhao Yun smiled softly and said, "As for whether to act separately or join forces with the army? I think we should act together. We don't have many troops, so we can take care of each other, right?"
"Okay, let's listen to General Zhao." Gao Shun's originally stern face also relaxed a lot. He originally thought that this God-level master would be an arrogant person, just like General Lu, but Zhao Yun's words comforted him a lot.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated General Gao for making great contributions last night and burning half of the enemy's baggage. I believe the lord will be very happy after knowing this." Zhao Yun patted his head and smiled. It seemed that he also knew what happened last night.
"General Zhao has been awarded too much, it is all the contributions of the soldiers. The last general dare not be greedy for me." Gao Shun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he was still a little satisfied with the battle last night.
"Okay, let's stop praising me here, let's act as planned."
"Well, General Zhao is just making arrangements."
On the side of Gu Dingfeng, he had already received the reward from the spy. He knew that the unit that attacked him last night was following behind his butt. Gu Dingfeng looked ugly. He really couldn't understand what this man had been harassing him? Do you just want to eat his 200,000 troops with his thousands of soldiers? It's a fantasy. Or he wasn't afraid that he would send his army to destroy him? You know that today is not like last night, now they are ready.
Unable to figure it out, Gu Dingfeng decided not to care about them and urged the team to speed up the journey. He also understood that this small group of enemy troops could not do anything big, so he would follow him. When the mountain came out, he would find a way to deal with them.
Gu Dingfeng tightened his team with an ignorant attitude, and at the same time, the defense of the periphery was also strengthened a lot. Gao Shun and thousands of soldiers went to harass him several times. Every time he harassed Gu Dingfeng, he ignored him at all. At most, he asked the other party to kill him and fire a few arrows, but there was no big loss. However, the bandits' constant harassment made him very annoyed.
In this way, one side kept harassing, and the other side ignored it and rushed for nearly a day. Gu Dingfeng's large army had slowly arrived at the entrance of the Shanyue Grand Canyon.
