Chapter 446 Li Sheng attacked Beili camp at night, and Wu Song burned Fan Chong’s army!
"I, I don't know!"
They had also been in the camp with Huyan Liancheng. How could they know what had happened in Yunzhou City?
In fact, the question of Huyan Liancheng's freedom was also what they were puzzled about.
"General, how about we withdraw our troops?"
A general suggested this, and the other generals nodded in agreement. However, Huyan Liancheng said coldly, "Withdraw? Where to?"
Their army had not yet assembled, and the troops from Lingzhou and Daizhou joined forces to attack. Although according to intelligence, there were only about 40,000 people, these 40,000 people had already been completely entangled with them.
If it were just these 40,000 people, he would have a way to repel them, but the Yunzhou army in Yunzhou City had already left the city, and there was no chance to withdraw.
It would be more accurate to say it was a breakout rather than a withdrawal.
Huyan Liancheng thought for a moment and said, "We can't retreat. As I suspected, something must have gone wrong with the general. Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight to the death!"
This battle was a complete defeat.
There were 500,000 troops coming here, and no one knows how many can return. It is predictable that they will lose at least 300,000 troops in this battle!
They have been in the North for a hundred years and have never lost more than 300,000 people in a single battle.
Now it appears.
It also appeared in his and Nangong Shouyi's hands. If no one took responsibility for it, he would not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded even if he returned.
He closed his eyes and said weakly, "Beat the drums, gather the troops!"
"Tonight, I will fight a decisive battle with the Great Xia Army!"
……
Huyan Liancheng was defeated!
Even he himself was captured.
In the original Beili camp, the person sitting on the commander's seat became Li Sheng.
Looking at Li Sheng's smiling face, Huyan Liancheng said in disbelief: "You, you, how could it be you?"
"Haha, why can't it be me?"
Li Sheng smiled and said, "I'm just injured and unconscious, I'm not dead and can't be cured!"
Huyan Liancheng: "..."
What a good plan!
He smiled bitterly, then raised his head as if resigned to his fate: "Can you help me solve the confusion in my heart?"
"Are you wondering where you failed?"
Li Sheng asked playfully.
Huyan Liancheng nodded.
In fact, from the moment Li Sheng appeared, he knew that the news that had previously come out of Yunzhou City was problematic.
If Li Sheng woke up, how could he let such a thing happen in Yunzhou City?
Li Sheng laughed and said, "Of course the intelligence I gave you was false. Otherwise, how could we prevent you from attacking Yunzhou?"
To be honest, when Gu Jingzhi sent him the information, he was really surprised.
After planning for so long, he actually managed to mobilize Beili's troops. Then, calculating Nangong Shouyi's obsession with him, he used himself as bait, allowing Nangong Shouyi to not only lead the troops himself, but also transfer the troops from Yunshang and Tongji!
Huyan Liancheng said, "But that secret report..."
"Fake!"
"impossible!"
The secret report was well-founded and the situation was true, so how could it be false? He roared, "Everything written in the secret report was confirmed, how could it be false?"
Li Sheng smiled faintly and said, "If it's not fake, then why are you doing this?"
He pointed at Huyan Liancheng, who was tied up in the tent. The latter fell silent. He said in disbelief, "Yunzhou is surrounded like an iron barrel. Military reports from outside can't get in at all. How are you guys communicating?"
"Ha ha!"
Li Sheng laughed and said, "I have to thank you for this. Were you the ones who helped deliver the secret report?"
"But, but... didn't you say it was fake?"
"Oh, it's fake to you, but it's real to me! Why? Are you unwilling to accept it?"
Li Sheng made a joke, but did not tell how the real information was transmitted. After all, if it were not for this method, who knows how their battle would have turned out.
The fewer people who know about this secret method of sending messages, the better.
He glanced at Huyan Liancheng and said, "The moment you delivered the secret report, my men had already wiped out all the spies in your city, including those planted by your school affairs office among my inner guards!"
"They were the ones who helped spread that false information. Their purpose..."
Naturally, I want you to take it lightly.
After hearing this, Huyan Liancheng gritted his teeth and said harshly, "What a plot! What a calculation! It turns out that my Beili Army has fallen into your trap from the beginning."
"You should feel lucky to be able to participate in such a great battle, even though... you lost this one!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Huyan Liancheng became furious again: "Humph! Beili's defeat today was not unfair, but if you want to humiliate us, dream on!"
"Oh?"
Li Sheng smiled and said, "So, you don't plan to surrender?"
"Humph!"
Huyan Liancheng raised his neck and would rather die than surrender!
Li Sheng waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then chop it off!"
He didn't think of keeping Huyan Liancheng. Anyone who could serve as Nangong Shouyi's deputy general was not an ordinary person. He was from Beili and his family was all in Beili. There was no possibility of persuading him to surrender.
Rather than this, it is better to kill him.
As for Nangong Shouyi, it was not known whether he had been captured alive. Li Sheng looked to the south and felt a little excited.
……
It is still unknown what happened to Nangong Shouyi, but Fan Chong is not having it so easy.
As for the commander-in-chief of Yuzhou, Wu Song, who called Gu Jingzhi "Major General", how could Gu Jingzhi not give this old general of the Gu family the opportunity to make merit?
After Fan Chong discovered that he had been deceived, he integrated his army and gathered another 50,000 soldiers together and returned along the same route.
They are cavalry, so naturally they are very fast!
However, when he reached Wangyue Gorge, he never imagined that he would be ambushed on his own territory.
One hundred and fifty thousand cavalrymen were holed up in Wangyue Gorge, surrounded by fires and with countless rocks falling overhead.
Wu Song stood above the canyon, coldly watching the Beili Army engulfed in flames below. His deputy general excitedly shouted, "General, this is truly a great relief! There are only a little over 300,000 elite Beili cavalrymen. Let's burn half of them today!"
"That great commander, whom I've never met before, truly has a plan that leaves nothing to chance. I'm completely impressed!"
"Yes, General, the brothers were a little worried at first, but we didn't expect that the Beili Army would actually fall into a trap!"
"..."
Listening to the exaggerations of his officers, a faint smile appeared on Wu Song's serious face.
The young general is naturally powerful, as he is a descendant of the Gu family and the current head of the Gu family.
He thought back then that he had only met the major general once and had never served him. But eight years later, the major general made great contributions to him. He was almost fifty years old and had thought that this was the end of his life. He never expected that at this time, he still had the opportunity to avenge his former comrades.
After this battle, the Major General destroyed the Beili army of 500,000 in less than a month?
You know what, he didn't think much about it before, but now when he calculates it, he finds out... that's an army of 500,000!
Even though he had fought all his life and was used to seeing separations and deaths, he couldn't help but gasp.
Major General, you are extremely talented. I am afraid that even Gu Minzhi, who was once praised as the Gu family's thousand-mile horse... does not have such talent and ability!
