The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 131 The Ghost King's Strategy
The Xiangcheng government office has now been occupied by the Yuxue army, and Jiang Ruizhen led a group of generals to live in it. The 20 army lost [-] on the battlefield, and the remaining part of Jiang Rui's formation was divided into three groups. One group was led by Cao Yuanqi with [-] troops to attack Xiaocheng, and the other [-] troops were stationed in Qincheng. The gate of Moyun Kingdom must be guarded; the last batch of about [-] people will be led by him personally to sit in Xiangcheng.

Jiang Rui was waiting for Yuxue's reinforcements. To be honest, he didn't expect the attack to be so smooth. In less than half a month, he had captured the three main cities of Moyun, but because of this, these three cities needed guard, so that his forces have been dispersed.Therefore, he has already sent someone to send urgent documents, so that the emperor can send troops again.If you march further into the depths of the Moyun Kingdom, you will encounter even more intense resistance, and the ghost king of the Moyun Kingdom has brought an army of [-] and will be there in a few days, this is bound to be a tough battle.

Jiang Ruizhen didn't know much about the ghost king, but he always took it to heart, whether it was the ghost king's martial arts, or how powerful the ghost king was when the sixth prince came back to talk about it. It is enough to show that it is not a simple master.Therefore, Jiang Ruizhen has made sufficient preparations since the day he entered Xiangcheng.

It snowed lightly in the morning, but the temperature in Moyun was warmer, which was much more comfortable than Yuxue.Jiang Ruizhen was standing in the corridor in unlined clothes, looking at the snow scene.After breakfast, he felt very depressed for some reason, so he decided to go out for a walk, and it happened that the cool air after the snow made him feel a lot better.

At this time, a soldier ran over in a panic and reported: "Report to the general. Last night, the ghost king led an army to attack General Cao's camp. General Cao was captured and the [-] troops were dispersed."

Jiang Rui was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "How many troops did the ghost king bring to sneak attack, no, the ghost king's army is still on the way, and it will take at least three days to arrive."

"..." The soldier didn't know how to answer, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

Jiang Ruizhen didn't expect this little soldier to solve his problem, but ordered: "Go, call the generals to discuss in the hall."

The soldier turned and ran away, Jiang Ruizhen beckoned another soldier, and ordered: "Send someone to find out where the ghost king is now."

Yun Yuhong left Xiaocheng with [-] soldiers and horses, and rushed all the way to Xiangcheng. On the way, Xiaoqigui led a team of cavalry to escort Cao Yuanqi away, leaving only Yun Yuhong and a team of people walking slowly.Yes, Yun Yuhong rushed out of the city with her men and horses, and she didn't even have time to rest. Everyone thought she was in a hurry, but the reality was the opposite. Yun Yuhong was not in a hurry at all. It's confusing.

General Wu couldn't help asking: "King of Ghosts, shouldn't we hurry up, the morale is high now, and we can just take down Xiangcheng in one go."

Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "General Wu, are you joking? Xiangcheng now has an army of [-], and Jiang Ruizhen personally commands it. Do you think our [-] troops of varying quality can beat them with morale alone?" ? I'm only interested in winning battles, not dying."

General Wu blushed, but he still bit the bullet and asked, "Then what should we do to regain Xiangcheng?"

Yun Yuhong said lightly: "Don't worry, what are you afraid of with my ghost king around, the worst thing is that we wait for the ghost king's army to come, and then we will fight together, and we will naturally recover Xiangcheng."

When General Wu heard that he was fighting with the Ghost King's army, he felt confident. To be honest, he didn't think his soldiers could beat Yuxue's 5 elite soldiers.He was also very worried that the ghost king would be impulsive and think that he could do anything after winning a battle, and then he would rush to die with these [-] people for the sake of Jing Yuanhou's face.Now seeing that the ghost king knew what he knew, he felt relieved.

In the hall of the Xiangcheng government office, Jiang Ruizhen and a group of generals were discussing the next move.Last night, the 5 cavalry led by General Cao was almost wiped out, and this was caused by the ghost king rushing over with only 5 cavalry, which made many people nervous.But the news I just heard is even more confusing. The ghost king has already set off from Xiaocheng with [-] horses and rushed to Xiangcheng. It stands to reason that he should arrive tomorrow night.It will take about three days for the ghost king's army to arrive.So, instead of waiting for the ghost king's army to come together, what did the ghost king bring the Xiang army and Xiao army with average combat power to do first? Does he still want to repeat the old plan to recruit a sneak attack?
A big man with a beard said: "General, this ghost king is just a woman. He knows how to march and fight. Maybe he thinks that he is a ghost king and has strong martial arts, so he doesn't take others seriously. I said we don't need to discuss it." If you come to discuss it, just rush over and kill her, and keep her coming and going."

A young white-faced general said: "General Hong, you speak lightly. Don't forget the lessons learned by General Cao. Even if the ghost king is a sneak attack, our army is not a vegetarian. How come the whole army was wiped out? We should be careful." Just a little bit."

General Hong was about to refute but was stopped by Jiang Ruizhen, "Don't argue, anyway, this is an opportunity. Before the ghost king's army arrives, we will clean up these remnants first. Why don't we come and recruit them in the same way? How is he?"

Hearing that Jiang Ruizhen had made up his mind, the spirits of all the generals also rose, and they all looked at Jiang Ruizhen.

Jiang Ruizhen smiled and said: "The ghost king will arrive tomorrow night, and there is a valley not far from Xiangcheng, which is called Hulukou. As the name suggests, it is not long but narrow, but it is the only way to come to Xiangcheng. Why don't we just set up an ambush here, and as soon as the ghost king arrives, we will come and attack, and let her taste the defeat first."

Everyone said yes in unison, and asked for orders to fight, and finally Jiang Ruizhen chose General Hong to set up an ambush.

Yun Yuhong led the people to stop and go, and on the second night, when she was two hundred miles away from Xiangcheng, she found a place at the foot of the mountain and pitched a tent, and ordered the army to repair and stop advancing.Then, Yun Yuhong saw that everyone was tired all day long, so she asked everyone to rest early and have a good sleep.However, Yun Yuhong's actions caused General Hong, who was waiting at Hulukou fifty miles away, to lie down on the mountain with more than 1 soldiers all night, each with red eyes.

General Hong looked at the camp of the Ghost King Army not far away, and more than once wanted to rush up and kill directly, but he just thought that he only had 1 people, so he endured it, and then reminded himself, don't be afraid, as long as she thinks of Xiangcheng, she will He will definitely pass from here, so he still has a chance to make a move.It's just that after daybreak, the ghost king's army raised a fire to cook, and then began to drill, with no intention of going any further. General Hong couldn't make up his mind, so he could only send a letter back.

Jiang Ruizhen looked at the note that received the news from General Zhonghong, and wondered in his heart, did the ghost king see through his scheme?Or... Or they didn't plan to advance, but they wanted to join up with the ghost king army behind and then attack Xiangcheng together.The ghost king led an army of 8, followed by a ghost king army of 5, and he had only [-] horses, so it would be very disadvantageous to wait until the ghost king and the ghost king army converged before making a move.Now the best way is to take down the [-] horses first, and then defend the city. As long as the reinforcements arrive, everything will be fine.

Jiang Ruizhen looked at the map on the table again and again, and smiled. The ghost king is not an idiot. Of course, he can also see that the terrain of Hulukou here is easy to be ambushed, so it makes sense for the whole army to wait for reinforcements, but he can't wait. Tonight is tonight.

At night, it snowed for a while again, but it stopped before the third watch, but a small wind blew up. Only a few fires were lit in the Ghost King's barracks to keep the patrolling soldiers warm, and the rest of the place was plunged into darkness.Because the weather was cold, no one came out to move around, except for some ghost king soldiers in black who were patrolling, the entire barracks was quiet.

Suddenly, a red light rose into the sky, and many black shadows appeared around the barracks and rushed towards the barracks.

"Kill, catch the ghost king alive and reward 1000 taels of gold!"

"Come on!"

The sound of shouting and killing sounded, and the surrounding Yuxue army rushed into the barracks, fighting with the patrolling soldiers. These patrolling soldiers were the elite cavalry of the Ghost King's army. The Yuxue Army still had to retreat, and gradually, these people retreated to the side of the mountain.The Yuxue Army quickly occupied the entire barracks, but General Hong was not happy at all. He was looking for the Ghost King as soon as he entered, but the strange thing was that a few soldiers came out of the camp, but there was no sign of the Ghost King. Things were unusual, and he had a bad feeling.

When he saw the two or three hundred soldiers of the ghost king surrounded by the mountain, General Hong suddenly realized that the ghost king was not in the barracks, and the number of people in the barracks was wrong.There are at most a few thousand people in this military palace, where did the tens of thousands of people go?General Hong knew that he had fallen for the trick, and he yelled: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!" He took the lead and rushed out of the camp.

The other Yuxue troops also reacted and began to retreat, but they understood it later, the camp was suddenly filled with the smell of kerosene, and several rockets were fired from a distance, and the flames shot into the sky.In addition, the wind was blowing, and the fire was out of control. Many people in the Yuxue Army were burned, and there were screams one after another. Many people pushed and squeezed outside, but outside, a group of ghost king soldiers fired rockets continuously. Groups of people in front fell down, and many people were trampled under their feet.The fire, crowding and trampling, and rockets have plunged the Yuxue army into misery. Out of the instinct to survive, no one cares about their military performance, they only know how to run for their lives, and the scene is even more chaotic.

General Hong was a fierce general, and he led his men through a hole and fled towards the mouth of the gourd.It's just that as soon as he arrived at the gourd mouth, he saw a thin figure wearing a ghost king mask waiting for him.And behind the ghost king, there is an army of countless but neatly arranged troops. Yun Yuhong didn't even look at General Hong and his remnant soldiers, but smiled and said to General Wu beside him: "What did I say?" , although we don't have the ghost king's army, but with my ghost king's strategy, we can win the battle, are you convinced now?"
