All the generals of Huben Army came to Nan Yan one by one to submit, taking this opportunity to forcefully attack the Wind Camp.
Nan Yan rejected all of them, that's right, at the moment when they were attacking the Wind Camp, they could indeed do it, but Feng Army was on the defensive, and with the village as a base, the losses they would suffer after winning the Feng Army would not be small, so it would be better to wait for the Feng Army to retreat before attacking.
He was the commander-in-chief. It was useless for the generals to be anxious if he did not give the order to attack.
There was nothing on that day, and on the second day, there were still no movements in the Feng Army Camp. snickered in his heart, if Feng Army can hold on, that's fine too, I want to see how long you guys can hold on for. He sent even more spies to ambush the people around Feng Army Camp and closely observed his actions.
That night, in the middle of the night, a scout hurriedly returned to the camp to report that Feng Army was taking advantage of the night to retreat northwards from the rear camp. After hearing this news, Nan Yan who was already resting on the bed felt as if he had been electrocuted. He suddenly quivered, and stood up from his bed. He widened his eyes and asked loudly, "What? The Feng Army is to retreat from the rear camp? "
"Yes, General, it is absolutely true. I have seen it with my own eyes!"
"This is great news!" Nan Yan could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and anxiously said: "Immediately send orders to the generals, we will discuss this at Central Army Tent! "Go quickly!"
"Yes sir!" The scouts rarely saw the general in such a hurry, so they quickly responded and ran outside.
Not long after, all of the generals of Huben Army came one after another after hearing the news. Without even needing to enter the Central Army Tent, Nan Yan was already standing outside the tent, waiting.
When all the generals had gathered, he ordered urgently, "Reportedly, Feng Army is evacuating from the camp overnight. Now is the great opportunity our army has to hunt down the enemy! First Regiment will be left to defend the camp, and the rest of the generals will each lead their troops and horses, and follow this marshal out of the camp to chase after the enemy! "
"This lowly general obeys your command!" The rest of the generals of Huben Army were waiting for Nan Yan's order, so they all replied and returned back to their respective groups to call for troops.
Although the loss of First Regiment during the sneak attack on the Wind Camp was not large, Regiment Commander Gu Feng was, after all, heavily injured, and was unable to go to war, so rather than changing Regiment Commanders, it was better to keep him here to guard the camp.
Nan Yan personally led the nine Huben Army divisions of over ninety thousand cavalrymen, chasing after the retreating Feng Army.
It was just as Huben Army had reported, Pingyuan Army had indeed retreated, and in an extremely hasty manner. A large amount of supplies were left in the camp, and the entire unit was loaded up and down, with only weapons and rations left. From the rear of the battalion, they quickly left the camp, making haste towards the north.
There were spies in the Huben Army, and there were similarly spies in the Feng Army. Not long after the main force of Huben Army left the camp, the Pingyuan Army received the news as well. Without even thinking about it, Xiao Muqing immediately decided to change his direction and retreat towards the mountain ranges in the north-east.
With regards to the change in the direction of Pingyuan Army, Huben Army did not raise any suspicions at all. Instead, they felt that it was an action in which Pingyuan Army ran out of options. Nan Yan laughed out loud and said: "Feng Army is a path of death!"
In the northeast of the Gold Stone City, there was the Jueqing Mountain. This mountain range was completely barren and full of strange stones, and not because it was born like this, there were rather, the Jueqing Mountain was nurturing a rich gold mine. Under the long years of exploitation by the people of the Mo Country, the vegetation on the mountain had long since been completely destroyed, and now, it had become a bare mountain.
It was a dead end there, and after entering the mountain range, there was no other way. Now that Feng Army was running towards it in a panic, what else could it be other than seeking death?
Nan Yan ordered the entire army to chase after the enemy at full speed.
One of the advisors, named Tong Guan, said to Nan Yan: "General, Jueqing Mountain is filled with broken stones, it is extremely difficult for people to leave. If my cavalry enters, wouldn't we be trapped in a dangerous place?"
Nan Yan sneered, and retorted with a question: "What? If our Feng Army can go, then our army can? Correct, Jueqing Mountain is not suitable for cavalry fighting, but at the same time, it is also not suitable for infantry fighting, the terrain is unfavorable for both sides, what are you afraid of? "
"This ?" Seeing the displeasure on Nan Yan's face, Tong Guan shrunk her neck back in fear, not daring to say another word.
Actually, Nan Yan's words seemed to be very reasonable on the surface. The ground situation was not good for both sides, and it seemed fair and reasonable, but the problem was, the cavalry was supposed to have a huge advantage over the infantry, and in such a situation, where both sides were at the same starting line, the side who had the advantage was undoubtedly heavily injured. However, Nan Yan who was currently in high spirits ignored this point.
On the other side, the matter of the Huben Army chasing and killing Feng Army had also spread to the Gold Stone City. When Gongsun Yao heard of this, his first reaction was disastrous! It was very likely that Nan Yan had fallen for a trick of the Pingyuan Army.
Feng Country had always loved to battle, and war had always occurred. A series of battles over the years, had long cultivated his Feng Army to the point where he had become more courageous. And as one of the outstanding Pingyuan Army, how could it be possible for it to be hastily withdrawn just because you burnt a grain depot? With Feng Army's personality, even if they really ran out of food, they would still fight to the death, and definitely would not choose to retreat without fighting. It was even more impossible for Pingyuan Army to do such a shameful thing.
He only pondered for a bit, then immediately sent someone to inform Nan Yan, warning him to never rashly chase after the enemy, and to not fall into the enemy's trap, while he himself summoned all of the defending troops of Gold Stone City and went to meet the enemy.
There were over one hundred and fifty thousand people defending Gold Stone City and they were all stationed at three different locations (two camps in one city). It would take a long time for them to gather at one location, but the subordinates sent by Gongsun Yao had already arrived before Huben Army entered into the Jueqing Mountain.
After Nan Yan heard this, he did not believe it. He believed that Gongsun Yao was being overly cautious. If it was really that powerful, how could it have been possible for him to have successfully stolen the camp and almost burned down half of the camp? He asked, "What is General Gongsun doing now?"
The subordinate hurriedly replied, "General Gongsun is currently ordering his troops to lead the main force to assist the General Nan!"
After Nan Yan heard it, he thought for a moment and then laughed out loud. No wonder Gongsun Yao sent someone to stop him from chasing Feng Army, it turned out that he wanted to take a spoonful of the spoonful and get the credit. How could he be worried that he would fall for it?
This cunning, cunning man! Nan Yan sneered in his heart, then said to the subordinate in a friendly manner: "Go back and tell General Gongsun, get him to lead his troops here as soon as possible, and maybe collect Feng Army's corpse!" After saying that, he sneered and waved his hand, signalling the entire army to continue chasing the enemy.1
Seeing that Nan Yan was not listening to his advice, the subordinate secretly sighed, but there was nothing he could do, he could only return to the Gold Stone City to report to Gongsun Yao.
As for Nan Yan, he led his troops and entered the Jueqing Mountain. At the same time, he smiled complacently to himself and asked the strategists beside him: "What kind of mountain is this?"
Everyone was stunned, and one of them replied in a daze, "It's Jueqing Mountain!"
"What legion are we fighting against?"
"Of course it's the Pingyuan Army!"
"What's the name of the commander of the Pingyuan Army?"
The people looked at each other, they did not know what was wrong with Nan Yan, and suddenly asked these idiotic questions. The commander of Pingyuan Army is Xiao Muqing! "
"Xiao Muqing! Jueqing Mountain! "Even the name of this mountain is helping our army eradicate the enemy. How can our army not win this battle?" Saying that, Nan Yan threw his head back and laughed again.
He sounded ridiculous and ignorant in modern times, but in those days people were superstitious. Hearing his words, the eyes of everyone around lit up, thinking to themselves, what a coincidence, Xiao Muqing could have led his army to some mountain, but why did he choose Jueqing Mountain? Could it be that even the heavens were helping his side to destroy the enemy?
Everyone's face revealed a smile, and they all chimed in: "General, it looks like, it's not Xiao Muqing digging his own grave, but the heavens trying to kill him!"
"Haha ? ?" Nan Yan guffawed.
The Jueqing Mountain, the mountain was as its name implied. Not a single blade of grass grew, and not a single plant could be seen.
There were too many broken rocks on the ground, and if a warhorse was walking, it would mysteriously fall to the ground. In that short period of time, there were already more than ten warhorses that had fallen, and there were also quite a few Mo Soldier s with throats broken.
There was no helping it, the Huben Army soldiers could only dismount from their horses and lead their horses forward slowly.
When they reached the depths of the Jueqing Mountain, they were gradually able to see the end of the Feng Army formation. Just as they were about to catch up to the enemy troops, all of the Huben Army warriors became excited, and at the same time, quickened their pace.
Right at that moment, the Pingyuan Army in front suddenly stopped, and the entire army formed a formation. They all turned around at the same time, and the troops behind them changed to their previous positions, ready to fight. Immediately after, the Feng Army group split to the left and right, and a few General of Feng Army s walked out from the Feng Soldier group. The one leading them was none other than the Pingyuan Army Commander ? Xiao Muqing. The two people beside Xiao Muqing were the other two famous generals of Feng Country, Jiang Fan and Wu Guang.
"I am Xiao Muqing, General Nan, please come out to speak!" Xiao Muqing's voice was originally quite loud, but now that he was in the vast valley, the echoes didn't go away for a long time.
Nan Yan who was inside the Huben Army heard it clearly. It was quite rare for Xiao Muqing to talk to him. Just as he was about to walk out, the surrounding Huben Army generals and strategists stopped him, and reminded him: "General, be careful of a trap!"
"Hehe!" It's okay, the Pingyuan Army s are already like a turtle in a jar, they can't play any tricks. " As he stood at the front of the line, he looked at the people in front of him. Due to the distance between them and the darkness of the night, although there was a torch, he could only see a vague shadow of a person. As for the person's appearance, he couldn't even see clearly.
"This commander Nan Yan, I wonder what General Xiao has to say to this commander? Could it be that he knows that he has no way out and is going to throw himself at this marshal? " Nan Yan asked loudly with confidence.
"Ha ha!" Xiao Muqing laughed from the opposite side and said: "General Nan, the one who wants to persuade me is me! Seeing that we met once before, and fought against Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country together, this humble one shall advise General Nan. It is still not too late to surrender now, this humble one will definitely plead for mercy on behalf of the king, and I beg the king to accept the king ? "
