"Prince, Nanzhao has urged us many times. Are we attacking Yonglin tomorrow?" In the tent, a middle-aged military man asked.
Mo Jingli frowned. "What's the hurry? If they're in such a hurry, why don't they attack Shattering Snow Pass themselves? They've fought for so many days and they haven't even scratched Murong Shen's skin! "The military advisor shook his head with a helpless smile." The walls of Shattering Snow Pass are strong and hard to break since ancient times. It's reasonable that they can't take it. " Mo Jingli was a little hesitant. He frowned and looked at the military counselor, asking, "Is it really useful to let the Nanzhao people in?" The military counselor was slightly startled and looked at him in confusion. "Your Highness, what do you mean?" Mo Jingli snorted softly. "We didn't need the Nanzhao people to spend any effort to sweep Yongzhou. Once they enter Shattering Snow Pass, I'm afraid … it's easier to invite them in than to send them away. "Although the Nanzhao people were cooperating with him now, he knew that they weren't so honest. Once the legend of Shattering Snow Pass was destroyed, these people would challenge Shattering Snow Pass more frequently in the future and invade Da Chu State's territory.
"Prince, there's no turning back." The military advisor advised. "Once we break the agreement, the Nanzhao people will retreat immediately. Then Murong Shen will turn around to deal with us. When the imperial court's reinforcements arrive … the consequences will be unimaginable. So, Prince, it's better to end the battle quickly. " Mo Jingli nodded. How could he not understand this? "Why do you think … the Black Cloud Cavalry came so quickly?"
The military advisor said awkwardly, "Prince Ding has always been far-sighted. In these two days, we haven't found any trace of the Black Cloud Cavalry. I'm afraid that Prince Ding planted a hidden chess piece here earlier. " Thinking of this, the military advisor couldn't help but wring his hands. If it weren't for the Black Cloud Cavalry, Yonglin City would have been theirs. Perhaps even Shattering Snow Pass would have been broken.
"You're saying that Mo Xiuyao predicted that there would be a war in Nanjiang?" Mo Jingli asked with an ugly expression.
The military advisor did not dare to admit it and only said, "Perhaps it was left behind by Prince Ding to guard against Nanzhao. After all, Prince Ding fought very fiercely in Nanjiang back then. "If the Imperial Family had not been worried that the Young General of the Prince Ding Mansion was too famous at that time and that his military exploits were too great, they would have retreated. The present Nanzhao probably no longer existed. Nanzhao's hatred of Prince Ding went without saying. Prince Ding probably also viewed the resurgent Nanzhao as a thorn in his side. Mo Jingli curled his lips in disdain. "Mo Xiuyao claims to be a godly strategist, yet he still hasn't been able to conquer Nan Jiang even after fighting for a year. I swept through Yongzhou in less than half a month. In at most half a year, we will be able to conquer the entire south of the Cloud Mist River! "
"Prince is wise," Military Counselor said with a smile as he wiped his sweat without a trace. The fact that everything went so smoothly this time was definitely because the heavens were helping them. Ever since Murong Shen guarded Broken Snow Pass, the Emperor had used all kinds of methods to reduce the military strength of Yongzhou. The Governor of Yongzhou spared no effort to find trouble for Murong Shen. That was why Yongzhou's defense was empty. And this time, they had attacked unexpectedly, which was why their journey had been so smooth. In the future, when the Imperial Court reacted, it would not be so smooth. However, Prince was right. As long as they destroyed Murong Shen in Broken Snow Pass, the south of the Cloud Mist River would indeed be in their pocket.
"Reporting to Prince! The Western Army was attacked! "The soldier outside the tent hurriedly reported in a loud voice. Mo Jingli was startled. He suddenly got up and walked out of the tent to look into the distance. Sure enough, he saw a sea of fire in the west. "Bastard! How could Yonglin City still have the military strength to launch a sneak attack? " Military Counselor followed behind him. When he saw the situation in the west, he was also startled. He quickly reminded, "Prince …" Mo Jingli said coldly, "Send reinforcements!"
"Prince, look over there!" The generals who hurried over screamed. At the same time, the camp in the east was also lit up. One of them said in horror, "The East Camp was also attacked!"
Military Counselor's eyes flashed. He said in a low voice, "Prince! Yonglin City doesn't have many soldiers and horses. If we want to attack the East and West Camps at the same time, the city must be empty. If we take the opportunity to attack the city now … "Mo Jingli suddenly turned back and stared at him." Do you think the two guys in Yonglin City have the guts to attack Yonglin City at night? " He was not familiar with Yun Ting and Xia Shu, but they were not strangers either. It was said that they were the two youngest captains under Murong Shen. Two captains in their early twenties, even if they were given the courage, they would not dare to leave Yonglin City alone and take the risk. What was more, as long as one was not an idiot, he knew that even if the night attack succeeded, it was impossible to defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Instead, it would exhaust the defense forces of Yonglin City.
"Prince means …" Military Counselor frowned.
"Send spies to investigate! General Zhang, General Li, reinforce the East and West Camps! "
"Yes! Prince. "
On a mountain peak not far from Prince Li's camp, Ye Li lowered her head and looked at the smoke and fire at the foot of the mountain with satisfaction. Xia Shu, An Er and An San followed Ye Li together and looked at the scene at the foot of the mountain. "The reinforcements are coming!" Xia Shu pointed at a group of people on the road at the foot of the mountain and quickly moved in the direction of the West Camp. Ye Li lowered her eyebrows and smiled. "The West Camp is about to end, right? Let someone lead them around a few times. " Xia Shu smiled and said, "Of course, if we talk about the terrain, the locals who have been stationed here all year round are more familiar with it. I'm afraid that the East Camp won't be able to hold on for much longer. "Ye Li said," Let them deal with the people there by themselves. Let the Shadow Guard prepare. I don't want Mo Jingli to send reinforcements again. "If they ate too much, they would be choked to death. An San smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry. The Shadow Guard can't fight, but they can definitely make trouble!"
"The rebels would never have thought that their own people would come out from behind them." If they were attacked from behind in the dark, they would be prepared to fight to the death. Thanks to Prince Li, they didn't have time to change their appearance. The rebels not only had weapons but also had clothes similar to the Yonglin Army. As for whether they could see the emblem of Prince Li's fief in the dark valley, it would depend on their luck.
Ye Li nodded with satisfaction. "Let's go and have a look." The four of them got on the horses that were parked not far away and quietly ran to another mountain in the dark night. It could be foreseen that there would be a more exciting battle there.
No one could avoid this night. The battle didn't stop until the sky was getting brighter. As a result, Mo Jingli's gloomy face became even darker. The East Camp and the West Camp, together with the reinforcements sent out, were close to thirty thousand people. Nearly seventy to eighty percent of them were killed or injured. And the other side left less than three thousand corpses. As for the valley behind the East Camp, it was almost completely filled with his own people. If he still couldn't guess what happened, he would be an idiot! In one night, they lost more than twenty thousand soldiers. The commanders of the East and West Camps and the two generals who were sent as reinforcements also died. This was a shocking blow to the originally high morale of Prince Li's army. Unknowingly, the news that Prince Ding and his Black Cloud Cavalry were in Yonglin City secretly spread in the Li Army. Almost all the soldiers couldn't help but panic. Prince Ding's residence and the Black Cloud Cavalry definitely had an unshakable deterrent force in the hearts of every soldier.
At this time, Yonglin City was indeed full of joy. The great victory this time made Yun Ting walk with the wind.
