Chapter 576 Through the residue of medicine left behind in the Feng Army's camp, Ming Xiaotian determined that there had been a large-scale malaria outbreak in the Feng Army, and immediately decided to lead the army to attack.
At this time, the other Ning generals also thought it was a good opportunity to take the initiative to attack, and they all asked Ming Xiaotian to fight, and immediately sent troops to chase and kill the retreating Feng army.
Ming Xiaotian waved his hand with a smile and said, "If malaria really breaks out in the Wind Army, their retreat will definitely not go far, and our army can sneak attack the Wind Camp at night."
But if the Feng army retreats all the way to Qingyuan City, won't they miss this good opportunity Ning The generals muttered silently in their hearts, but everyone also knew that Ming Xiaotian was stubborn and couldn't listen to other people's opinions, Ning generals looked at each other, and no one spoke again.
Ming Xiaotian happily led the generals back to the camp of the Ning army, as if he had calculated that the Feng army would not be far away, and after returning to the camp, he ordered the whole army to stop training, go back to the barracks to rest, recuperate their spirits, and wait until the evening to fight to the death with the Feng army.
To everyone's great surprise, the retreat of the Wind Army was really as Ming Xiaotian expected, and it did not retreat far, but only withdrew twenty miles.
When the spies brought the information back, the whole camp was taken aback, only Ming Xiaotian looked up and smiled, and said quietly: "Sure enough" The generals were puzzled, but they still praised one after another: "The general is really a god, I don't know how the general knows that the wind army is not far away."
Ming Xiaotian said with a smile: "According to my estimates, more than half of the soldiers of the Wind Army have suffered from malaria, if they forcibly retreat to Qingyuan, the soldiers will not be able to hold on at all, at this time, if our army comes to chase and kill, the Wind Army will be defeated without a fight, how can they not think of this with the cunning of the Wind Army, so they dare not retreat too far, deliberately pretending to be cautious, step by step, the purpose of which is to scare our army not to attack, in fact, the Wind Army has already become the end of the strong crossbow, once our army is killed, it can easily win" "I see" Ning generals suddenly realized, and invariably bowed their hands and said: "The general is clever, this time our army will definitely be able to defeat the wind army" "Haha" Ming Xiaotian laughed confidently, and said slowly and proudly: "No matter how cunning the wind army is, it can't hide it from the eyes of this handsome."
At night of the same day, the Ning army poured out, and the more than 400,000 Ning army quietly and silently went straight to the Feng army camp.
In the process of marching, he ordered the horse team to take off the copper bell, and wrapped the four hooves of the war horse with cotton cloth, and the soldiers of the whole army were all grassy in their mouths, and it was strictly forbidden to speak in the march.
The title of the person, the horse picks the bell, this is exactly the necessary for a sneak attack at night.
When the Ning army was about to approach the Feng army camp, it happened to be the fifth watch, and it was the darkest time at this time, Ming Xiaotian quickly gave an order to divide the Ning army into two parts, and he personally led an army of 300,000 to directly kill the Feng army camp, leaving more than 100,000 Ning troops outside the camp to respond.
Ming Xiaotian has been in the army for so long, and naturally understands that stealing the camp must be reserved, otherwise the whole army will be killed, and what if he is ambushed by the enemy, he needs to leave a part of the military outside to respond.
It can be shown that Xiaotian's commander did not make mistakes from beginning to end, but he ignored one of the most fatal problems, if there was really a large-scale outbreak of malaria in the Feng army, how could the minds of Tang Yin, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying leave you evidence Under the command of Ming Xiaotian, 300,000 soldiers of the Ning Army followed him and quietly marched towards the Feng Army camp.
The movement of 300,000 people, even if you are careful, there is a sound, the friction of armor and the sound of messy footsteps are endless, connected into a piece, but at this time the sky is too dark, and as far as the eye can see, nothing can be seen clearly in the dark, only a rumbling and muffled sound can be heard.
When the Ning army led by Ming Xiaotian approached the Feng army camp, people raised their eyes and watched, and they couldn't help but gasp after seeing the truth.
Don't look at this wind army camp is temporarily built, but the camp is very perfect, the interior is the wall, towering, let the night wind howl, the slightest trembling, look out, it is a long circle of rejection of horses, the huge military camp regiments are wrapped, and then look out, is a circle is not high but the base of the very solid earthen wall, this should be the first line of defense of the wind army camp, when fighting, the soldiers can borrow the earthen wall as a cover, or arrow shooting or hold, if the periphery can not hold on, you can also retreat to the camp, to resist the horse to block the cavalry, Defend the infantry with a wall.
It's hard to imagine that in just half a day, the Wind Army has built such a complete battalion, which is no different from a military fortress.
Ming Xiaotian also nodded secretly after seeing it, if it was a head-on battle, with the defense of the Wind Army, there was no possibility for his side to break through at all, but fortunately, his side came at night, and the Wind Army was defenseless.
Ming Xiaotian sneered and waved his hand behind him, causing the vanguard to rush straight to the gate.
In the gate of the Wind Army's camp, not even a single guard could be seen, only the figure of the Wind Army could be seen on the tower above, but it seemed that the Wind Army soldier who was in charge of the lookout was also asleep, standing on it leaning against the wooden pillar, motionless.
The least certain in the Ning army is the sharpshooter.
Several of the Ning soldiers who were in charge of taking the lead raised their bows and arrows, aimed them at the wind army on the tower, and shot out the eagle feathers in one volley.
The sound of pounce, pounce, and arrow-piercing sound sounded almost simultaneously, and the unsuspecting wind soldiers on the tower did not even make a shout, and fell with the arrows.
The soldiers of the Ning army were overjoyed after seeing it, and they turned over the earthen wall, jumped over the rejection horse, and rushed directly to the front of the gate.
Seeing that the gate of the Feng Army's camp had been opened, Ming Xiaotian didn't delay any longer, stood up violently, and at the same time drew his sword, waved it forward with all his strength, and shouted: "Brothers, follow this commander into the enemy camp and kill the enemy army."
"Kill" Ming Xiaotian responded, and the surrounding heralds shot rockets at the same time.
More than 10 rockets pierced the night sky, which was particularly eye-catching, and the 300,000 soldiers of the Ning Army saw the rockets rise into the air, knowing that the commander had given the order for the whole army to raid, and people rushed up from the ground, each holding a weapon, and rushed towards the camp of the Feng Army.
The charge of the 300,000-strong army, the scale of which is like a tide, and its momentum can be described as earth-shattering.
The soldiers of the Ning army finally found an opportunity to fight back against the wind army, and they ran forward like crazy, as long as the speed of any soldier in the crowd was a little slower, they had to be hit by the people behind the earthen wall or refuse to horse, at this time, the morale of the Ning army was strong, like a flood beast.
After Ming Xiaotian did not fall behind, he followed the Ning army who took the lead and entered the Feng army camp, and it could be seen that the patients in the wind army were very serious, and there was no shadow of people in the huge barracks.
Facing such a strong and capable Feng army camp, Ming Xiaotian's excited heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he shouted loudly to the left and right: "Give me the Chinese military tent that rushed into the Feng Army, no matter who captures Tang Yin, the official and the lord will be promoted to three levels, and the bounty will be a thousand taels."
There has always been no shortage of brave men under the heavy reward, and when the Ning soldiers heard this, they even charged with all their strength, and the shouting of killing shocked people's eardrums.
The 300,000 Ning army, from the gate of the camp, rushed to the wind army's Chinese military tent, the first to run the first Ning army to arrive at the Chinese military tent, but after arriving here, everyone was dumbfounded, through the curtain that was raised, you can see the empty block in the Chinese army tent, there is no one, the wind army guards standing outside do not move, they are all straw men wearing wind clothes outside.
The soldiers of Ning didn't know what was going on, and subconsciously looked around, if the silence of the big Feng army camp was terrifying, except for Ning Jun's own shouting and killing, they couldn't hear the slightest movement of the Feng army.
Just when people's minds were full of inexplicability, Ming Xiaotian also arrived, and he rode to the front of the Chinese military tent and asked the first thing he said: "Where is Tang Yin?"
"General Shangshang, Tang Yin Tang Yin doesn't seem to be here," the general in charge of the front army replied with a stammer.
"How is it possible" Tang Yin is the monarch and the commander of the wind army, where can he be in the military tent if he is not in the middle of the army Ming Xiaotian turned over and dismounted, and pushed the Ning general who was blocking in front of him away, but at this time he also happened to see the straw man wearing a wind suit at the door of the big tent, Ming Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously shouted: "What is this?"
He hurriedly walked to the straw man, looked up and down twice, gasped violently, and secretly screamed badly, could there be any deception in it, he shook his body and strode into the Chinese military tent, as General Ning said, Tang Yin is not here, and even a soldier of the Wind Country is not here.
Seeing this, Ming Xiaotian's face had turned pale and bloodless, his body shook again and again, and he staggered forward a few steps, if it weren't for Ning Jiang's hands and eyes on the left and right to quickly support him, he would have to rush to the ground at this time.
Supported by everyone, Ming Xiaotian muttered with dull eyes: "Fooled us, we fell into the trap of the Wind Army" Before he finished speaking, a general Ning who walked in front of Shuai's case shouted: "General, there is a letter here."
"What" Ming Xiaotian came back to his senses and shouted urgently: "Quickly bring it to me" Ning Jiang handed the letter to Ming Xiaotian, who hurriedly took it, only to see that the envelope was sprinkled with four big characters written on it.
Ming Xiaotian tore open the envelope with trembling palms, and took out the letter paper inside, the content of the letter paper was not much, only a few words: General Ning Guo Ming Xiaotian was damaged here "Ah" Ming Xiaotian saw it, subconsciously exclaimed, stunned for a few seconds, angrily waved his hand and threw the letter to the ground, stomped on it hard, and then shouted: "Retreat, the whole army quickly exit the wind camp" However, it was too late for him to order a retreat at this time, and the 300,000 Ning troops had all crowded into the wind camp, looking around to check the figure of the wind army, but there was no shadow of the wind army in the large and small barracks of the wind camp, and some were just piles of dry grass and dry firewood
