In fact, if the Mo army in Shuishui town can calm down and observe, it is not difficult to find that the wind army's attack is thunderous. Under the rain, it just blindly uses the long-range instruments such as stone riprap machine and broken city crossbow, but the soldiers who put into the siege have been delayed.
But now Hu Xian and his local soldiers can't notice those who have been smashed by the large equipment of the plain army. If the military law of the Mo army was not too strict, they might have abandoned the city and fled.
The long-range attack of the wind army is still one wave after another. Even though he knows that the Mo army has already run into the city to avoid, and the stone throwing machine and broken city crossbow can't play their lethality, Xiao MuQing doesn't have any intention to order to stop the attack.
At the same time, the Qingqi sent out by Shuishui town for help one after another. It seems that Hu Xian wants to send out all the Qingqi in the city. He seems to be in a posture of not giving up until he sees the reinforcements.
The emergency of Shuishui town spread to Yangchuan and Bailin two cities like a horse lantern. Because the intention of Feng Jun had not been fully understood, Li Rong ignored the call for help of Shuishui Town, while Lu Hongming on the other side could not sit still.
According to the news from Shuishui Town, there are more than 100000 wind troops and the offensive is very fierce. Shuishui town is in danger and may fall at any time. From this point of view, this is not the bluff of the wind army, but the real intention to go to war with our own country.
Although his official rank is much higher than Hu Xian, the position of Shuishui town is extremely important. He was arranged in Bailin by Shaofang. The main purpose is to help prevent Shuishui town. Once Shuishui town loses, his responsibility will be great.
Lu Hongming finally decided to send troops for reinforcements after confirming that the Feng army was a real attack rather than a feint. He ordered to call in troops, summoned his officers and men, left only 20000 people to guard a hundred visits, and led more than 80000 of the eight regiments to Shuishui town.
The first hundred soldiers were discovered by the wind force's eye liner and then sent to Jiangfan at the fastest speed.
At this time, Jiang Fan led four regiments of the plain army to ambush in the dense forest between Bailin and Shuishui.
It's under the mountain road, close to the official forest in the town.
It's not easy for Jiangfan Heping's former soldiers to hide in the jungle. Now it's midsummer. There are many mosquitoes, flies and poisonous insects in the forest. The soldiers of the plain army who bite are miserable. In addition, the weather is muggy and can't move at will. People lie in ambush in the forest and bite their teeth.
When the spies brought back the news that Mo Jun had gone out for a hundred days and was heading for Shuishui Town, it was undoubtedly a shot of cardiotonic to Jiang Fan and other Feng Jun. his hard work was not in vain. Mo Jun really came.
Jiang Fan asked the spy, "how many troops and horses does the enemy have? How far is it from us?"
"Report back to the general. The enemy is less than 100000. It is more than 30 miles away from here. Because it is light loaded and has no luggage, it marches very fast. I'm afraid it won't take two hours to arrive." The spy said anxiously.
"Good!" Fan Jiang said, "nod your head again!"
"Yes! General!" The spy was impolite to step in and turned and left quickly.
Jiang Fan cheered up, called four army commanders and several generals, and said positively, "although the number of enemy troops in this battle is large, they are on their way and are unprepared. Although our army has few troops, it is ready to attack unprepared. If we are unprepared, we will win with one attack!"
The generals sat around Jiang Fan, nodded one after another and replied, "general, just give orders! We will fight to the death and live up to our mission!"
Jiang Fan picked up a branch, drew on the ground and said, "the second and third corps are mainly responsible for blocking the enemy's way. The enemy is bent on rescuing Shuizhen. Once it is found that it is in ambush, it will try its best to break through to Shuizhen. The second and third Corps should hold the enemy anyway, and can't let an enemy soldier pass!"
Shang Xing, the head of the Second Corps, and Li Yue, the head of the third corps, both stepped in and said, "don't worry, general. I guarantee with my head. If you let an enemy go, I'll raise my head to see general!"
When they say so, they are making military orders in public. No matter whether they can do it or not, the desire and courage to win are absolutely desirable.
Jiang Fan's pale face showed a rare smile. He nodded and said, "well, it's worthy of being the general of my strong wind and sharp division!" Then he looked at Zhang Ling, the head of the sixth corps, and Zhao Shun, the head of the seventh corps, and said, "the sixth and seventh corps are mainly responsible for cutting off the enemy's retreat. Once the enemy finds that he can't break through the siege in front, he will fight back. This battle will be very difficult for the sixth and seventh Corps. Are you two confident to resist the enemy's counterattack?"
Shang Xing and Li Yue issued military orders. How can Zhang Ling and Zhao Shuner show weakness? They looked at each other, bowed and said in unison, "we are willing to make a military order. If the enemy breaks through from us, we will cut ourselves in front of the general!"
Jiang Fan nodded again and said, "yes, there will be a sense of death, and the soldiers will not be greedy for life. As long as the soldiers can risk their lives and fight with blood, I believe that with the combat power of our army, we can stop and kill the enemy!"
Jiang fan can only be regarded as a novice in the deployment of troops, but he has seen too much. He has been around Tang Yin for a long time and has learned Tang Yin's way of boosting morale.
Under his mobilization, the four regiments of the plain army were divided into two parts. The second and third regiments were in the front and the sixth and seventh regiments were in the back. The four regiments formed a tendency of encirclement and entrapment.
The plain army laid a snare on the way from Bailin to Xiashui town. Mo Jun had to drill in by himself. Lu Hongming knew nothing about it and was still urging his soldiers to move forward.
While in a hurry, Lu Hongming also paid attention to the movement on the other side of Yangchuan. He sneered at Li Rong's inaction. He despised Li Rong, a general who climbed up by relationship. Now he saw that Li Rong refused to send troops to rescue Shuizhen. He thought he was afraid of the wind Army and dared not send troops. His contempt was stronger. However, the generals under his command are worried that if Yangchuan and Bailin send troops at the same time, there is the possibility of a war with the wind army. Now only their own side sends troops. Even in Shuishui Town, I'm afraid they may not be the enemy of the wind army.
Lu Hongming doesn't think so. He thinks that if he can fight, he can fight and withdraw if he can't fight. Anyway, he has fulfilled the responsibility of sending troops to assist defense. If the war situation is unfavorable because Li Rong didn't send troops, he has nothing to do with himself. At that time, he will not be the one punished by the king.
Lu Hongming is a calculating man, but his intelligence is used in internal intrigues, but he doesn't carefully study why the Feng army wants to attack Shuishui Town, the core of Mo's defense line.
When the Mozambican army was about to reach the ambush site of the plain army, Lu Hongming was reminded by the general of the Mozambican army that the terrain here was very complex and the dense forest was close to the official road. Once there was an ambush, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lu Hongming sniffed at this warning. The main force of the wind army entering Mo territory was attacking Shuishui town. How could he set up an ambush here, unless he had wings on his back and flew out of thin air. Lu Hongming ignored his subordinates' suggestions and continued to urge the whole army to move forward at full speed.
It didn't matter that he was careless for a while, but he brought 80000 Mo troops into a desperate situation.
Before Mo Jun walked forward for half an hour, the whistles in the dense forest on both sides were heard in his ears. Then, countless arrows flew out of the forest like raindrops.
The Mozambican army on its way was unprepared and caught unprepared by the sudden arrow array. In the Mozambican army camp, the soldiers who were hit by the arrow fell to the ground in groups, and the knights on the horse were the first to bear the brunt, overturning their horses like hedgehogs.
Just in an instant, the Mozambican army was in a mess.
No! There's an ambush! At this time, Lu Hongming finally understood that there was nothing wrong with his subordinates' concerns. There was really an ambush in the forest. He reacted quickly and immediately ordered the whole army to form an array and put up shields to resist the enemy's attack.
However, the official path here is narrow and long. The Mozambican army can't be concentrated in one place at all. The front is miles long. How can it be so easy to gather and fight in formation? The arrows in the jungle on both sides fell into the crowd of the Mozambican army one after another, as if there was no end. The roar of carved feathers, the armor breaking sound of arrow blades, the scream of people and the roar of war horses are intertwined into a death sonata. At this time, the Mozambican camp can only be described as miserable. The ground is full of dead bodies killed by arrows. People push and trample on each other. There are countless dead and wounded. The blood flowing out makes the road muddy.
Mo Jun was not just beaten passively. Many soldiers spontaneously gathered together and then rushed to the forest.
For the counter attack of the Mo army, the wind army has long been on guard. Under the cover of the forest, the wind army either shoots arrows behind the tree or climbs to the tree. The Mo army rushes over quickly, but falls faster. Once entering the forest, there are arrows flying over the head in all directions. People often fall to the ground when they are covered with arrow feathers.
Soon, Lu Hongming also realized that his place was not conducive to formation and formation. If he rushed into the forest, the wind army inside had already laid a net, and his soldiers had no way to go back.
The only way is to leave here as soon as possible. At this time, Lu Hongming was not stunned by the ambush, and his mind was still calm. He ordered the generals around him not to fight with the enemy, rushed forward with all his strength, and rushed through the enemy's ambush point.
His strategy is not wrong, but this has long been expected by Jiang Fan.
Mo Jun didn't rush far forward. He saw people pouring out of the woods in front, and countless wind troops swarmed out, blocking the road in front.
Lu Hongming saw it clearly and was surprised in his heart. However, on the surface, he was very calm. He was not in a hurry and hurriedly preached to the left and right: "brothers, I will rush to the past with me!"
