Nativity

Chapter 196

After Nan Guozhen and Yu Wenyan withdrew their troops and returned to the city, they counted the number of people. Since the retreat was urgent, the casualties in this battle were not too heavy.

When Nan Guozhen returned to the city, he saw Jiang Hui, Su Mu and the veterans in charge of logistics were tying up the scarecrows non-stop.

Looking at the pile of scarecrows, Nan Guozhen asked, "Hui'er, Su Mu, what are you doing with so many scarecrows?"

"The military division asked us to tie it up, and we don't know what the military division wants these straws for." Jiang Hui replied.

When Su Mu saw Nanguo Zhenshou came back, he immediately stopped the rice in his hand and ran over, and asked eagerly, "King Youzhou, how is the fight here? Did you win? Has Susu been rescued?"

When Su Mu learned that Su Su had been arrested, he felt very uncomfortable, especially worried about Su Su's safety.He even wanted to go out of the city with Nan Guozhen to rescue Susu, only hating himself for being a weak scholar with no strength to restrain him.

Nan Guozhen lowered his head slightly, and replied with shame: "Su Mu, I'm sorry, this king failed to rescue Susu."

When Su Mu heard that Susu could not be rescued, he looked frustrated, and returned to his original position dully and continued to tie the scarecrow.

"Are you injured? Where is the injury?"

When Jiang Hui approached, she found that Nan Guozhen's armor was slightly stained with blood, and she was nervous to check where Nan Guozhen was injured.

Nan Guozhen clutched his chest and said with a slight smile, "It's all right. I only suffered some internal injuries, so I'll be fine after a rest."

"It's all bleeding, how can it be okay." Jiang Hui looked like she wanted to cry.

In order not to worry Jiang Hui, Nan Guozhen gently scratched Jiang Hui's nose and said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine."

"Hey, where's the military advisor?" Nan Guozhen looked around and couldn't see the thirteenth son.

As soon as Nan Guozhen finished speaking, he heard the thirteenth son reply: "I am here."

Hearing Shisan Gong's voice seemed to come from the tower, Nan Guozhen raised his head to look at Xionggao's tower, and there was a white figure standing and watching.That white figure is the thirteenth son.

Nan Guozhen was surprised, the volume of his speech just now was not loud, and the tower was three stories high, how could the military commander hear it.

It's strange to say that since the thirteenth son lost his eyesight, his ears have become very sensitive. Even the faint sound of an embroidery needle falling to the ground, the thirteenth son can clearly hear it.

"Military division, what's the use of making a scarecrow?" Nan Guozhen asked curiously.

"For tonight's battle." The thirteenth son replied indifferently.

what?
Nan Guozhen thought he had heard it wrong, and he didn't understand why the defeated army division was in such a hurry to fight again after just finishing the battle that it was night.

"But, military advisor, the soldiers have just withdrawn their troops and returned to the city, and now they have to fight again, I'm afraid the soldiers will be overwhelmed." Nan Guozhen said.

"Then, can the king of Youzhou be able to bear it?" The thirteenth son asked back, making Nan Guozhen pause in astonishment.

Nan Guozhen replied: "Of course this king can bear it, but I don't understand why the military division is in such a hurry to fight? And our army was defeated just now?"

"It's not that I'm in a hurry to fight, it's that the sky is in a hurry to fight." The words of the thirteenth son were too mysterious, making Nan Guozhen more and more difficult to understand.

The thirteenth prince smiled slightly and said: "The king of Youzhou should go to rest quickly, and fight at midnight."

When the thirteenth son asked Nan Guozhen to go back to rest, Nan Guozhen was still at a loss, and asked, "Didn't the military master say that he would go to war later?" When I could rest for two sticks of incense, I cupped my fists and saluted, and hurried back to the tent to rest.Before leaving, Nan Guozhen was still a little worried and asked: "Military Master, don't you need my king's help in preparing for the battle?"

The thirteenth prince smiled again, and said with some mystery: "The King of Youzhou can take a rest, and everything will be here."

With the words of the thirteenth son, Nan Guozhen went to rest without worry.

.........................................................

The time for two sticks of incense is calculated according to the work and rest time of normal people, that is, a nap.Although Nan Guozhen only took a nap, he was in high spirits, and went into battle energetically.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was originally bright but suddenly it was shrouded in thick fog, and the earth was a hazy scene.

The Jianghuang army camp was completely silent, except for one soldier who stayed on watch at night, the rest of the soldiers fell asleep, even the Jianghuang and the woman in white fell asleep.

Just when everyone fell asleep, there was suddenly the sound of rumbling chariots, the sound of drums with high morale, and the earth-shattering cry of killing.

The Jianghuang army got up in surprise and went outside the camp to look around. They could vaguely see the enemy's military flags floating high in the sky, dozens of chariots rumbling towards them, and the enemy soldiers all over the mountains and plains came to kill like a tide.

Seeing this scene suddenly, Jiang Huang's army was stunned, not only Jiang Huang's army was shocked, even Jiang Huang and the woman in white were shocked.

The Emperor Jiang and the woman in white never expected that Nan Guozhen would launch a night attack after losing a battle just now; moreover, they never expected that Nan Guozhen would suddenly have so many more soldiers and chariots.

In fact, the majestic momentum seen in front of the emperor's army is false.Even if Nan Guozhen has great abilities, it is impossible to produce one hundred thousand soldiers in one night. All these are the fantasy formations set up by the thirteen princes.

The following three conditions must be met in order to deploy a fantasy formation: 1. The main attack must be made suddenly in the dim night. 2. Be sure to choose a hilly place with lush bushes. 3. Arrange eight formations in the eight directions of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, and four of them are empty formations.There are also scarecrows, flags, chariots, and gongs in order to create an illusion of grandeur to mislead the opponent.

Sure enough, the fantasy array of the thirteen princes completely overwhelmed the Emperor Jiang's army; just as the king of Xinjiang was commanding the main force of the generals to face Nan Guozhen, who was attacking from the front, unexpectedly, Yu Wenyan brought a soldier on his back. Sneak attack; just as the emperor turned his head and swung his army to fight, he was attacked from the left ribs by soldiers and horses led by Yilong and Yique.

The Jianghuang army was attacked from three sides and could only retreat to the right, but it happened to enter Yu Wenmo's pocket. It turned out that Yu Wenmo had been waiting here for a long time.

The Jianghuang army was surrounded layer by layer, and now, no matter how plump and powerful the Jianghuang army's wings were, they couldn't break through the layers of birdcages.Now, even if the Jianghuang army is a beast, it will be difficult to break through the layers of iron cages.

The Jianghuang Army was beaten to pieces by Nan Guozhen's army. These tragically killed Jianghuang Army did not know how many soldiers and horses the enemy had.Not only did the Jianghuang army not know, even the old Jianghuang and the woman in white couldn't figure out how many troops Nan Guozhen had dispatched in this battle.

It wasn't until dawn that the Southern Kingdom victoriously withdrew its troops and returned to the city, leaving scarecrows and flags all over the mountains and plains, that the Emperor Jiang suddenly understood.The old Jianghuang looked at the scarecrows all over the field, and was so angry that he vomited blood.

After Dasheng returned to the city, Nan Guozhen and all the generals praised that the fantasy array that the thirteenth sons had put up was so fantastic that they could fool the treacherous and treacherous Emperor Jiang into a stupefaction and beat up the Emperor Jiang's army with great vigor. hurt.All the soldiers asked curiously how the thirteenth son did it.

The Thirteenth Duke just smiled faintly at the compliments from the generals, because he knew that the Mystic Formation was not at all illusory, it was just that people who didn't understand it thought it was illusory.

"I've been listening to the wind these days. The wind tells me that there will be heavy fog tonight, and the moonlight is the best time to set up a fantasy formation."

"Mysterious Illusionary Formation? Military Master, why is it called Mysterious Illusionary Formation." Upon hearing the word 'xuanhuan', all the soldiers became even more curious.

The Thirteenth Duke smiled slightly and said, the reason why the illusory formation is illusory is that it is both false and real, and the false and the real are mixed together to create an illusion of bluff to confuse the opponent. .
