The Emperor Shun Zhishi

Chapter 59 Encircling and Annihilating the Three Seedlings
After Nvying and Ehuang speeded up their march, You Miao also speeded up.You Miao realized that Emperor Yao had spotted San Miao chasing him and was speeding away.After making this judgment, You Miao became even more convinced that Emperor Yao was in this team, and he immediately ordered to send troops to reinforce him, intending to capture Emperor Yao alive as soon as possible.

This cognition was completely expected by Ehuang. Seeing the increase in the number of the three Miao teams and the acceleration of the marching speed, Ehuang was overjoyed, because this showed that the Miao family had already been tricked.

Nvying and Ehuang continued to speed up, and a day later, the three hundred dragoons were less than forty miles away from the Marble Mountains.At this time, Shun's soldiers and horses had been stationed at the pass of Wuxing Mountain, waiting for the arrival of Nvying and Ehuang.In the evening, Shun contacted Ehuang and Nvying and asked them to march to the hinterland of Wuxing Mountain and lead Sanmiao's army into the valley of Wuxing Mountain.Then, Shun's army would block the exit, so that both internal and external attacks could eliminate You Miao.

When it was dark, the troops of Qin Bukong, Dong Bushi, Houji, Gaotao, and Gun rushed to the vicinity of Wuxing Mountain and assembled outside the valley. The total strength was 5000.When Shun saw that the army was in place, his confidence immediately increased.

At the same time, spies reported that the troops led by Gonggong and Huandou were camping at Baimapo, [-] miles south of Marble Mountains.

"Are they here to help us?"

Shun communicated with Little Xingxing in his body again.

"Absolutely not. If they came to help us wipe out Sanmiao, they would definitely come to join us."

"Then they are here to help Sanmiao?"

"It's not like, they don't seem to have reached a unified pace with Sanmiao. Obviously, Gonggong and Huandou garrison have already sensed that there will be a big battle in Wuxing Mountain, and they take a wait-and-see attitude. Once the situation is beneficial to who So, don’t worry about Gonggong and Huandou, they are just scumbags, as long as we encircle and wipe out Sanmiao, they will come to help us immediately. They will never move until the winner is determined One soldier, one soldier."

In the next two hours, the spies' report confirmed Little Xingxing's conjecture: Ehuang and Nvying had brought Sanmiao's troops into the hinterland of the Marble Mountains, but Gonggong and Huandou remained on hold.

When Nvying and Ehuang entered the hinterland of Wuxing Mountain, it was already completely dark.The hinterland is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are only two mountains in the north, forming a mountain pass with a width of one mile.The Sanmiao army was pouring in from the mountain pass and was surrounded in the hinterland.

"Sister, there is no way ahead."

Nvying looked at the high mountain in front, and at the Sanmiao soldiers behind. As a bait, they were completely exposed to the encirclement of Sanmiao.

"Wait a little longer, their big troops haven't come in yet, we pretend to climb a mountain to delay for a while."

The Miao family's 3 troops followed the Dragon Banner soldiers into the hinterland of Wuxing Mountain. Seeing that the Dragon Banner soldiers had nowhere to go, they began to climb up the mountain ridge.You Miao burst out laughing.

"It seems that Emperor Yao has nowhere to go." He mounted his horse, holding a torch, and said to the Sanmiao soldiers who entered the hinterland one after another, "Son of Sanmiao, since the battle of chasing deer, our Sanmiao clan has been expelled." Out of the Central Plains, I have been dormant in the miasma-filled southern forest for more than two hundred years. Today, under the onslaught of our Sanmiao warriors, Emperor Yao has fled Pingyang with his luggage. It seems that China is exhausted. Today is our Sanmiao Time for revenge. Follow me, capture Emperor Yao alive, destroy China, seize the Central Plains, gold, silver, treasures, women and livestock, grab it as you please!"

Encouraged by You Miao, the soldiers of San Miao rushed to the hinterland like a tide. The three hundred Dragon Banner soldiers did not confront the soldiers of San Miao, but hid in the ridge.Ehuang and Nvying knew that Shun was encircling the three Miao soldiers at the mountain pass.

Sure enough, when all the 8 Miao soldiers entered the hinterland of Wuxing Mountain, more than [-] Huayi allied forces led by Shun immediately blocked the mountain pass and started shouting at the Sanmiao soldiers in the hinterland.When You Miao saw the densely packed torches on the mountain, he panicked and realized that he was surrounded.

"It's over, it's been tricked, withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

Those Sanmiao soldiers who were in the hinterland quickly retreated towards the mountain pass, but because the order had not been fully conveyed to the entire team, those Sanmiao soldiers at the mountain pass were still advancing towards the hinterland.In the chaos, 1 Miao soldiers trampled on each other, causing no fewer than [-] casualties.

"The Sanmiao army is already in chaos, City Master, this is a good opportunity for us to annihilate them."

"No, just wait."

Qin Bukong is right, but Xiao Xingxing thinks that a better fighter has not yet come, "A military strategist said that if the siege is completely surrounded, the enemy will fight us to the death. If we leave a gap to let us If they run away, they will lose their fighting spirit. Pass the order down, don’t pursue, leave me a gap in the north, and let the Sanmiao army escape.”

"This is a great plan!"

Under the command of Xiao Xingxing, the Huayi coalition forces surrounded at the exit immediately retreated two miles, forming a gap.Sure enough, the Sanmiao army fled towards the gap.

"Pass down the order to pursue the Sanmiao army on the hillside two miles north of the exit of Wuxing Mountain."

Under the order of Little Xing Xing, the Huayi coalition army divided the Sanmiao army who escaped from the hinterland of Wuxing Mountain into seven parts and wiped them out one by one.Although the troops at the front were attacked, because Little Xingxing left a gap for the Sanmiao army to escape, the Sanmiao army at the back not only failed to reinforce the front troops, but fled faster.

Gonggong and Huandou, who were standing on Baimapo, had a panoramic view of the battle.

"It seems that the Miao family will be defeated by that Yao Chonghua. If we don't take action again, the Miao family will be completely wiped out."

Looking at the densely packed torches in Wuxing Mountain, Huandou knew that the situation was very unfavorable for Sanmiao, so he quickly got on his horse and prepared to rush down Baimapo to reinforce the Sanmiao army, but Gonggong stopped him.

"At this time, it's useless for you to reinforce Sanmiao. Can you defeat Yao Chonghua? Look at the torches at the foot of the mountain. They have at least 8 people. Even if we add them, they can't beat them. What's more, Sanmiao has become a turtle in the urn now. See It’s all over.”

Gonggong looked at the flames below the mountain, shook his head and sighed, but Huandou was still unwilling.

"Did you just leave without doing anything?"

"Of course not, just leave like this. If Emperor Yao finds out, wouldn't we be punished for our failure to rescue. Not only can we not leave, but we have to go down the mountain to participate in this encirclement and annihilation battle."

"You mean, you...you..."

"Youdao is non-toxic and not a husband. If Sanmiao doesn't live up to her expectations, who is to blame? Even if they fight a little bit and let us see a little hope, we won't fall into trouble. There is really no way. If we don't do this, Sanmiao's today It's our tomorrow."

Hearing Gonggong's explanation, Huandou also knew the pros and cons.The two led an army of [-], rushed down Baimapo, and chased the Sanmiao army together with the Huayi coalition army.

Under the pursuit of 13 Huayi alliance troops, the Sanmiao army was completely defeated. The Miao family knew that fleeing to the exit would be a dead end, so they had to turn the army to the hinterland of Wuxing Mountain again.

The encirclement and annihilation continued until dawn. Little Xingxing counted the corpses at the foot of Wuxing Mountain. The Huayi Alliance suffered less than 2 casualties, but Sanmiao's casualties exceeded [-].The remaining [-] people all hid in the hinterland of Wuxing Mountain.

Gonggong and Huandou originally thought they would wait and see, but now seeing that Sanmiao’s situation was over, and they were too late to help, they decided to make a contribution.Gong Gong walked up to Shun and said:

"City Lord, we should cut the weeds and root out the roots at this time, so as to prevent the three seedlings from resurging. This subordinate is willing to lead [-] Gonggong troops into the mountains to pursue the Sanmiao army."

Huandou, who stood aside, was afraid that Shun would punish him for being late, so he also stood up and said that he would send [-] troops to assist Gonggong in chasing Sanmiao.

"These two old foxes."

Seeing the two people swearing in their vows, Xiao Xingxing cursed secretly in his heart.The two originally held a wait-and-see attitude, and waited until the main force of the three seedlings was almost beaten, and then clamored to wipe out the remnants of the three seedlings.Ehuang and Nvying, who had already joined the coalition forces, saw that Gonggong and Huandou had the cheek to say that they would help wipe out Sanmiao, and remembered that Jishuizhiyuan almost died at the hands of Gonggong, and couldn't help feeling angry.

"Gonggong, you still pretend to be loyal, have you forgotten what you said at the source of Jishui that day?"

"This, this must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I am loyal to Huaxia, and the sun and the moon will show!"

Ehuang wanted to taunt Gonggong again, but Little Xingxing held her back.Because at this time, the Huayi Alliance should unite more people. If Gonggong is punished, the Gonggong family will eventually be pushed into the arms of Xirong. This will undoubtedly add an enemy to the future of the Huayi Alliance.

In consideration of the overall situation, Xiao Xingxing not only did not blame them for the late arrival of help, but also expressed his gratitude to them for coming all the way to assist the Huayi coalition forces in attacking Sanmiao.It's just that little Xingxing didn't agree to their request. Seeing fifty thousand corpses lying on the ground at this moment, little Xingxing was somewhat moved with compassion.In order to avoid more casualties, Xiao Xingxing sent people to negotiate with You Miao and let him surrender.

Unexpectedly, the Miao family was very stubborn and vowed never to surrender.Little Xingxing had no choice but to encircle but not annihilate, consuming their will to fight.On the third day of the siege, the Sanmiao soldiers shouted the slogan of the Miao God and broke out from the hinterland of the Five Elements Mountain. Out of the siege of the Huayi coalition forces.And this battle was also the cruelest battle since the siege of Wuxing Mountain. The Huayi Alliance also killed at least 8000 people, which made Little Xingxing have to admire the Sanmiao people.

Although Sanmiao has been surrounded, they show the courage to face death as home, which makes Xiao Xingxing feel that, as a part of Chinese civilization, the Miao people do have tenacious vitality.Otherwise, after countless wars, how could the Miao people still be a nation with a population of more than 21 million in the [-]st century.
