Chapter 778: Unmoving as a mountain
night.
Between the mountains, the roar of apes and tigers can be heard all the time.
The Goguryeo army secretly gathered together and then divided into two groups. One group was commanded by Li Yunchong, who planned to take advantage of the night to march eastward with food, grass and baggage.
One unit is commanded by Zhao Mancheng and has tens of thousands of elite troops, intending to attack Wu Nian's camp.
There should be no delay in withdrawing troops and making a comeback.
Despite successive defeats, the number of Goguryeo soldiers still numbered 36,000, and the area was dark and filled with a murderous atmosphere.
They rested all afternoon and in the middle of the night. Their morale, physical strength, and condition had recovered, especially the more than 10,000 elite soldiers led by Zhao Mancheng. They all voluntarily followed Zhao Mancheng to attack Wu Nian's camp.
They are soldiers who fight fiercely and have courage.
Under the banner of "Zhao" and "Li", Li Yunchong said goodbye to Zhao Mancheng.
Although it was dark night, Zhao Mancheng was still dressed in white armor. Under the moonlight, the armor reflected a hazy light. With a silver gun in his hand, he could dominate the world.
Li Yun Chong was the leader of the army and was also very powerful.
"General Zhao, take care." After saying goodbye, Li Yunchong straightened his back and said with his hands clasped in his fists.
"Take care, general." Zhao Mancheng clasped his fists and bent down.
Li Yunchong nodded lightly, then got on his horse, reined in the horse, and shouted: "Let's go."
The 20,000 to 30,000 Goguryeo troops escorted a large amount of grain, grass, and baggage. Under the leadership of Li Yunchong, they headed east along the road.
Target, Yalu River Goguryeo.
Zhao Mancheng didn't waste any time. He got on his horse, raised his silver spear, and said to the tens of thousands of warriors behind him: "My sons, instead of being slowly eliminated, it's better to give it a try."
"Together with me and Qilin, we will pierce the sky and slay the fierce tigers of Liaodong. Kill them."
The Goguryeo soldiers did not respond, but their eyes lit up and they raised their right hands in response to Zhao Mancheng.
Give it a try.
Pierce the sky and kill the fierce tigers of Liaodong.
For the Goguryeo army at this moment, Wu Nian was equivalent to the Mongolian Emperor. It was powerful and terrifying, and they could not breathe under the pressure.
The weak draw their swords on the weaker.
The strong draw their swords against the stronger.
Follow our general, follow the snow unicorn, the silver spear pierces the darkness, pokes a hole in the sky, and lets light illuminate the earth.
kill!!!!
Under the command of Zhao Mancheng, more than ten thousand elite soldiers headed for Wu Nian's camp with the determination to fight to the death.
.............
In the year of Wu, Zhang Sheng's military camp. Because there was no large flat land in the mountains, the camps were distributed in valleys and on top of mountains. There were four camps in total, and each camp was defended by at least two thousand households.
The fortress is very high and the fortifications are well done.
Despite the victory, Wu Nian's army did not dare to slack off at all. There was a lot of defensive strength. There were neatly dressed soldiers everywhere, armed with swords and guns, standing guard and patrolling.
They were extremely vigilant, as if tigers were about to emerge from the mountains at any moment.
Although they had just won and although the Goguryeo people suffered heavy losses, it was almost impossible to attack their camp at night.
suddenly.
The sound of warning pierced the sky.
"Enemy attack!!!!!!!!!"
In an instant.
Everyone who was sleeping in the camp opened their eyes.
"Don't panic. The soldiers on guard can stop you for a while. Put on your coats and armor first, and pick up your weapons."
In a tent, a flag officer calmly got off his bed and loudly ordered his soldiers. Under his command, the soldiers moved in an orderly manner.
The warriors moved quickly and turned around to help the armored soldiers pierce the armor. After the dozens of men under his command were ready, the chief flag officer lined up the warriors in front of the camp and waited for the superior officer to mobilize.
"Go and guard the North Camp Gate." A member of the Hundred Households led another group of flag soldiers, came to the flag officer, said hello, and then went to the north gate.
"Yes." The flag officer responded and immediately led his soldiers to follow.
The soldiers of Wu Nian's army in this camp were conducting defense in an orderly manner, just like they did during normal training.
Flowing clouds and flowing water.
The same goes for the other three camps.
In the camp where Wu Nian is located.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Wu Nian woke up immediately. He listened to the sound first, with a look of surprise on his face. Then he smiled and said: "You are really a hero, you are just fighting against me."
"He's still a little short of the mark."
Wu Nian knew without guessing that the one leading the attack was [Snow Kirin] Zhao Mancheng.
Wu Nian had all learned about Zhao Mancheng's courage, martial arts, and ability to lead troops during the day.
There is only one person like Zhao Mancheng.
After the Goguryeo people were defeated during the day, tired from marching, and still had many wounded soldiers, Zhao Mancheng actually led his elite troops to attack his camp at night.
Wu Nian didn't expect it.
But Wu Nian did not show any flaws, and Zhao Mancheng was destined to do useless work.
proud?
He is never satisfied.
Lax?
As long as he goes to the battlefield, he never relaxes. Whether it is marching, setting up a formation, or fighting. Wu Nianjun's actions are completely like Sun Tzu's Art of War.
It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as plundering as the fire, and as motionless as the mountain.
"Come here, prepare armor for me. Pass the order. Our fortress is very strong and the defenses are very tight. As long as we follow their usual training, there is no way we will lose."
"Take it easy."
"In addition, allocate some personnel to guard the captives. Don't let the captives interact with the Goguryeo people inside and outside."
Wu Nian sat up, bent over and put on his shoes, and said loudly.
"yes."
The soldiers outside the tent responded loudly. Someone came in and lit the lamp in the outer tent, and someone went down to deliver the order. When Wu Nian walked out of the inner tent, the lights in the outer tent were brightly lit, and a group of fully armed soldiers were already holding Wu Nian's armor.
Waiting.
Wu Nian was served by his own soldiers and dressed neatly, but he did not leave the tent. Instead, he sat on the imperial chair, lying on the camp ground like a tiger, motionless.
After a while, Zhang Sheng, who was also neatly dressed, walked in from the outside. After cupping his fists and saluting Wu Nian, he came to the right side and sat down.
"General, the matter is already clear. There are Goguryeo people attacking all our camps. There is no news from each camp yet. But the soldiers took a look and found that no camp has been breached."
A soldier came in from outside and bent down to report.
"Hahaha. It's just as I thought. The Goguryeo people are just wasting their efforts. If our camp was so easy to capture, we would have died by the Mengyuan people's swords long ago." Zhang Sheng sneered and raised his head.
At first, I was very conceited.
"That's good. If it were so easy to break through, we would have been reduced to bones a long time ago." Wu Nian laughed, but soon he calmed down and said, "So guarding the camp is just a basic skill, there is nothing to be proud of or proud of."
"What do you mean, general?" The two brothers knew each other very well. Zhang Sheng heard the implication and narrowed his eyes as he asked.
"If my guess is correct, Zhao Mancheng is in charge of the attack. And Li Yunchong has probably led a large group of troops along the road and quickly headed east in the dead of night and cool weather."
"Immediately send someone to inform Tieniu and Wang Gui to send troops to chase. Just in case, send a few more waves of messengers."
"However, the Goguryeo people are still capable. They can't see clearly at night, so let them be cautious and be careful about ambush. If you have the chance, do it. If you don't, forget it."
"The Goguryeo people are more tired than us, and there is still a long way to go back to the Yalu River. We have plenty of opportunities."
