Chapter 41
Liu Desan's withdrawal operation was as fast and secret as his advancement, which was in the night when he defeated the black nobles.★W w√W.
81zW.
The main force of CoM Huyan Valley quietly left the city and headed south. Before this, his Sixth Battalion Longbow Army, 4,000 Iron Shield Armor and 2,000 Light Cavalry had already left the Tiande Army under the support of the Hedong Navy. Huyan Valley only had two thousand old, weak and disabled soldiers supporting the storefront. This is the tradition of the Hedong Army. If you can throw your soldiers and protect your commander, they will never pretend to be pretentious and make trouble until the end of the car.
Yu Chongchong burned Beizhai to flat ground with a torch, and then retreated into Huyan Valley to serve as the commander of the Suicide Army. This gave Jin Mili and the five members of Manhei an illusion that the main force in Hedong was still in Huyan Valley because the "General Tian" was still there. No matter how Yang Hao explained, the two families refused to believe that the main force of the Hedong Army had retreated.
The Man Hei tribe was determined to challenge the face that was ruthlessly torn off by him. The scheming Jin Mili naturally felt that it was safer to follow the strong.
Liu Desan deserves to be a famous general who has experienced many battles. In order to confuse his opponent, while withdrawing his troops, he still forced his two generals, Sui Wohu and Wu Chizan, to attack Xincheng where Shi Xiong was stationed and Wang Ben's Zhongshoucheng City. The harsh orders made Sui Wohu and Wu Chizan, who had been following him for many years, not at all aware that the commander was withdrawing.
Yang Hao ordered the Xiaoqi Battalion, which had just been restored, and the first police battalion cooperated with Jin Mili and the five troops of the Manhei to attack Huyangu, while he led the main forces of the Baozhang, Fengya Camp, and Jinfeng Camp to go south to attack the Hedong Army's Yanhe Camp.
Wang Ben and Shi Xiong also did not believe that Liu Desan had withdrawn his troops. They both guarded the city and even Yang Hao sent his confidants to ask with his handwritten letter, but the two were still skeptical.
Yang Hao asked Wang Ben to mobilize the Tiande Navy to block Liu Desan's retreat, but the answer he got was that the Hedong Navy had already arrived outside the Zhongshoucheng City. The Tiande Navy had a huge gap with him and had no capital to fight with him.
Shi Xiong suggested that the three families concentrate their troops to attack from the shore. In the three alliances, Shi Xiong and the Hedong Army had the most brilliant record. A rough count of the two armies fighting 23 times, Shi Xiong won 20 times, captured 3,000 Hedong soldiers, and seized a large number of weapons and food. Yang Hao did not agree to attack the Hedong Army Yanhe Camp because the formation of Yanhe Camp was rigorous and the navy helped the battle, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, Yang Hao had another consideration, that is, the Five Black Divisions. Although they were defeated by Yu Chong outside the North Village, they did not hurt their muscles and bones. This was a terrible force that was difficult to control. If they were not careful, they would cause a disaster. Yang Hao did not want to make them lose money after both sides were injured.
After the three people discussed, they decided to adopt a strategy of siege but not attacking: Shixiong's troops monitor the East Entrance of the Hedong Army to prevent the Hedong Army from fleeing from the sixth route; Wang Benshui Road to prevent the main force of the Hedong Army from abandoning the village and crossing the river; Yang Hao led the main force of the Third Entrance to form a village in the north, which not only restrained the main force of the Hedong Army, but also prevented the collapse of Huyangu army from going south to meet with the various battalions in the river.
Among the three families, Yang Hao had the most troops, Shi Xiong had the strongest combat power, and Wang Ben's terrain was the most favorable. The Hedong Army had less than 5,000 battalions along the river. Liu Desan's deployment was to take a defensive position in the west and north, and the east was led by the general Sui Wohu, who led the cavalry to take the initiative to fight for the initiative.
Shi Xiong, who was in full force, set up a main lineup to fight Sui Wohu head-on. After a fierce battle, each had its own victory or defeat. At night, Sui Wohu ordered his soldiers to light up the torches, and rode a gray-haired horse and led four generals to challenge the formation barely. Shi Xiong refused to show his weakness and led the four brothers to fight barely.
This "counterattack" starts from the end of You hour to the beginning of Hai hour. Sui Wohu won three games and captured Shi Xiong to form a rebel brother Wan Tao. Shi Xiong was not convinced and wanted to fight Sui Wohu one-on-one, but Sui Wohu did not give in. The two fought each other in front of the formation for half an hour and lost three war horses. It turned out to be a result of not losing or winning. Afterwards, the two armies exchanged prisoners and agreed to fight again in the second day.
At the second hour of Mao, Shi Xiong came outside the Hedong military camp to challenge, but the Hedong army closed the camp gate and stopped moving. The drum beat three times, and the camp gate opened. A white-faced school came out and pointed at Shi Xiong with a long spear in his hand and cursed: "The villain who hurts people in the hidden arrows, is there no one in our army?"
The school was thin, with a white face and a red lips. He was actually a female general. Shi Xiong said disdainfully: "The swords and guns are eyeless. Do you think this is an embroidery field?" The woman was furious and urged her to fight immediately. After three or five rounds, Shi Xiong no longer dared to underestimate the female general, and shouted: "Come and the general can tell the name!"
The woman sneered, "Hedong Sui Yuan is the same." Shi Xiong asked, "Miss is scolding me for hurting people with hidden arrows. Shi Xiong is puzzled. When will I do that scrubing matter?"
Sui Yuan sneered, "My brother was fine when he came back last night, but this morning he suddenly had a sudden flaw. He could not move his hands and could not speak. It was clearly a symptom of poisoning. Who could it be if you didn't do it?" Shi Xiong was shocked when he heard this, and then he realized why Sui Wohu had not shown up for a long time.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sui Yuan snorted coldly, "Why, are you feeling uneasy?" Shi Xiong said loudly, "I, Shi Xiong, are you open and honest, how can I do that? Your brother's affairs have nothing to do with me. Since he can't fight, Shi Xiong will not fight. When his injury is healed, we will fight again." After that, he pulled the horse and walked back.
Sui Yuan was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly shouted: "Don't leave, come and take your life!" She urged the horse to chase her. Shi Xiong looked at her from the corner of his eyes and approached her. Suddenly, he turned around and "swept across thousands of troops" with a move, sweeping the three-sharp knife's pole as a stick. Sui Yuan couldn't dodge, and his helmet was swept away by the pole, and his bun was shaken off, his head was dispersed, and his appearance was lost.
Shi Xiong Panma turned around and said, "Occurrence", just waiting to urge the horse to leave. Unexpectedly, Sui Yuan suddenly pulled out his sword, shouted "Brother, don't leave me" and wiped it on his neck.
Shi Xiong was suddenly shocked, and the three sharp swords in his hand came out, barely shooting down the sword in Sui Yuan's hand. Shi Xiong shouted, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, why should we seek death?!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a strange sneer in Sui Yuan's eyes, but raised his right hand upwards. Shi Xiong felt something was wrong, and was about to turn around and avoid it, it was too late. A sleeve arrow shot towards him, and the two were only a few feet apart. The arrow hit Shi Xiong's heart. Shi Xiong screamed and turned over and fell off his horse.
Chang Songlin, who was watching the formation, saw that the situation was not good, Zhang Huayang snatched out one by one. Mu Min shot an arrow at Sui Yuan in the middle of the nest, but was easily avoided by Sui Yuan. She pointed at Chang Songlin, and Zhang Huayang and the other two shouted, "If you want to save Shi Xiong's life, just take the antidote!" After saying that, he returned to the formation. Chang, Zhang and the other two snatched Shi Xiong back, and saw that he was already angry and his life was hanging on a thread. His wound was purple and black, and the sleeve arrow was harshly poisonous!
It was already afternoon when Yang Hao learned that Shi Xiong was unconscious by poisoning arrows. Before that, Chang Songlin and others asked famous doctors to treat them, but it was useless. Yang Hao learned that the woman who shot Shi Xiong was named Sui Yuan, and was the sister of Sui Wohu's compatriots. He once became a famous general in Hedong. Yu Xianlin was nicknamed "Yu Sanshi" and was the cousin of the famous general in Hedong, Yu Chongchong, and the archery spirit was the best in Hedong. Because he broke his arm when he was a teenager and broke two tendons, his right hand was very weak and he could not pull the hard bow. The range of the small bow he used was only thirty feet, so he was nicknamed "Yu Sanshi".
The one who poisoned Sui Wohu was the undercover agent who was placed in the Hedong Army in the intelligence room. Guan Suo was not there, and Yang Hao didn't know who the undercover agent was. He was about to send someone to Huyan Valley to call Guan Suo back, but Guan Suo came back himself. He brought back good news: Jin Mili had persuaded the five troops of Manhei to go south and attack the Hedong Army's camp.
The five members of the Manhei originally thought that the main force of the Hedong Army was in Huyan Valley. From this, they judged that the Hedong Army's food, weapons, and the gold, silver and wealth they plundered were piled up in the valley. As long as they were captured through Huyan Valley, these things were undoubtedly their spoils. Guan Suo released news based on this that the Hedong Army had transported the plundered gold, silver and wealth to the north bank of the Yellow River and was preparing to ship back to Hedong. The reason why the three alliances abandoned Huyan Valley and attacked the villages in the river with all their might was to swallow the spoils.
The five leaders were skeptical, and Jin Mili came to tell them that in Huyan Valley, only the "General Tian" and a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people were bluffing. In fact, it was an empty valley. The Hedong Army had transported the plundered property to the bank of the Yellow River and was ready to carry it away. The five leaders changed their colors when they heard this, and then they believed that the rumors were true. In their opinion, Yang Hao was a Han man after all, and the Han man made a lot of tricks and was unreliable at all, while Jin Mili was their same clan, and the same clan should be trustworthy.
The five leaders had long forgotten that it was Yang Hao who asked them to go south at first, but instead scolded him, and decided to immediately lead the army to the tiger's mouth to seize food and rob the spoils of war.
Jin Mili saw clearly Yang Hao's intention of "driveing wolves and fighting tigers, urging them to hurt both". He once thought that this plan was too insulting and was unwilling to act as a lobbyist for Yang Hao. But when Guan Suo told him that the Tiande army had made money and the Manhei nobles had been secretly discussing to tear up the alliance with Yang Hao, and they had decided to stay on Niutou and go to the grassland on the northern foot of the mountain. Jin Mili was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately made a 180-degree turn and decided to help Yang Hao lead the wild wolf from the Manhei tribe to bite Liu Desan, the fierce tiger.
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, both sides will suffer losses, it is best to be done together, how can the grassland of immortal tigers and wolves be at peace?
The sudden move south of the five divisions caught Liu Desan off guard. The black man quickly cleared the periphery with seven camps a day and approached the core. The five divisions of the black man fought very hard, but the income was also very rich. The Hedong Army's ability to scrape the land was definitely not inferior to the black man, but their methods were much more civilized, and they could not only plunder all their children's jade and silk, but they did not make it like the black man.
Driven by huge interests, the five corpses worked very hard. However, wolves were wolves after all, and they could bite the tiger all over their bodies while they were unprepared. However, once the tiger was powerful, the wolf's momentum was immediately suppressed. After suffering a series of defeats, Liu Desan adjusted his deployment in time, and with the deep trench and high base under the cover of the navy, he hit the wolves head-on several times in a row. The two most ferocious wolves, Gulumangyue tribe and Man Lai tribe, were almost crippled, and they were just humming and retreating like an injured dog, and the other three corpses also completely lost their previous momentum.
Yang Hao decided to stab him in the tiger's back immediately to help the black wolf kill the powerful Hedong tiger.
This knife is Ma Yue, who once dominated the world.
The Hedong Army was defeated. Ma Yue, who had been a young wife for several months, realized that the time was coming to get rid of the control of the evil mother-in-law. At that time, he was poor and lonely and had to rely on Liu Desan, but he had not obtained any benefits except for helping him raise food and money endlessly. The Baishui Fox had fallen, and Liu Desan's promise to himself became a flower in the mirror in the water. Ma Yue felt that even if he was a horse bandit, it would be better to be a young wife to Liu Desan, the evil mother-in-law.
Ma Yue sent someone to contact Yang Hao and proposed to rule with Wang Ben. The thirteen counties south of the Yellow River belonged to him. He recognized Wang Bentian's commander as the commander of the thirteen counties. One-eighth of the income taxes of the thirteen counties were handed over to Wang Ben. When the Tiande Army fought with a third party, Ma Yue would send troops to assist in the war or provide military supplies.
Yang Hao asked Ma Yue to give up the two counties south of Zhongshoujiang City to Wang Ben and increase the annual taxes to one-sixth. He said that as long as Ma Yue could agree, he would come forward to persuade Wang Ben to reach an agreement to rule the river. Ma Yue, who had no extra bargaining chips in his hands, could only agree. Wang Ben, who was at the end of his battle, was also hoping to end the civil strife as soon as possible.
The agreement to rule the river was signed quickly, and the last blow finally came.
