Chapter 21: Xing Daorong loses the county due to carelessness and fights against the Japanese pirate
The next morning.
Chu Yang personally led five hundred soldiers from the Formation Breaking Camp and two thousand soldiers from the Mandarin Duck Formation and set off in a mighty procession.
In the team, Pan Feng was riding a tall horse, with a big sword hanging from his waist, looking full of vigor and vitality.
Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was dressed in white clothes and armor, holding a shiny silver spear, with a stern expression, forming a sharp contrast with Pan Feng.
However, before the army reached Sanqing County, a military scout covered in blood stumbled over, fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted in panic.
"Your Highness! It's bad! General Xing...he..."
"What happened to Xing Daorong? Tell me!"
Chu Yang's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"General Xing...he was lured deep into the enemy territory by the Japanese pirates, and three thousand soldiers were trapped in Dingjun Mountain!"
The military detective's voice was trembling, and he was obviously frightened.
"what?!"
Chu Yang flew into a rage upon hearing this. He clenched his right fist and roared, "Whatever you think is coming true. How can Xing Daorong be so reckless!"
"Your Highness, calm down!" Upon seeing this, the generals knelt down and tried to dissuade him.
Chu Yang suppressed his anger and asked, "Since they know how to lure the enemy deep into our territory and how to besiege the mountain, do the Japanese pirates have any generals?"
"Your Highness, yes! It was a Japanese pirate leader named Toyotomi Hideyoshi." The scout answered tremblingly.
Hearing this name, Chu Yang's heart suddenly trembled. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, could it be that...
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Zhao Yun saw Chu Yang's strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a famous war god in Japan. He is ruthless and merciless, and is known for his cunning tactics. If this person is the one in charge, I'm afraid things will be difficult!"
Chu Yang frowned, his eyes filled with solemnity.
He didn't expect that as he was planning to develop slowly, he would actually run into such a ruthless character!
This man was at least a famous general. Although I had some knowledge of military tactics, it was far from enough.
"What?! Toyotomi Hideyoshi?! Why is he here?!"
Pan Feng was so shocked when he heard this that the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Obviously, Pan Feng had also seen how powerful this man was!
"Now is not the time to talk about that."
Chu Yang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and responded: "Send a letter to General Xing, asking him to hold on for four days. Then we will work together to capture Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
"promise."
A personal soldier behind Chu Yang bowed and accepted the order, then rode away.
Afterwards, Chu Yang gave the order: "Pass the order down, the entire army should speed up and advance, and must reach Dingjun Mountain within three days!"
"Your Highness, I think we should go to Sanqing County first to see what's going on. I feel like General Xing has sent out his entire army, and now Sanqing County is an empty city."
At this time Zhao Yun dissuaded him.
Pan Feng had a different opinion: "Your Highness, why don't we split our forces into two groups? General Xing is fighting hard there!"
Hearing this, Chu Yang frowned. He was also a little worried that Toyotomi Hideyoshi would surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements.
"I was careless. I thought I could defeat the Japanese pirates with the Mandarin Duck Formation. I should have called Wang Meng or Sima Yi earlier."
"But the Mandarin Duck Formation is really a natural counter to the Japanese pirates. Maybe I can win if I just send more than a thousand people!"
Chu Yang muttered to himself for a moment and gave the order.
"Zhao Yun, you take 500 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp to Sanqing County to reinforce the city wall."
"promise,"
Zhao Yun accepted the order and rode his horse to lead the Xianzhen Camp to Sanqing County.
Then Chu Yang continued to give orders.
"General Pan, you and I will go to support General Xing, but this battle requires you to lead our troops as the vanguard. Are you confident?"
"Yes, I have long wanted to meet Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
"Okay, let's set off now."
that's it.
Chu Yang brought Pan Feng and two thousand soldiers from the Mandarin Duck Formation to support Dingjun Mountain!
At this moment, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, because the general cards obtained by siege were not very effective.
If I hadn't gotten Zhao Yun with a ten thousand times critical hit in the first draw, I might not have been able to succeed if I had really brought Pan Feng and Xing Daorong with me!
"I hope the Mandarin Duck Formation can defeat the Japanese pirates."
Chu Yang muttered in his heart, "This battle is really troublesome, I can only rely on the Mandarin Duck Formation!"
He brought Pan Feng and two thousand soldiers and rushed to the vicinity of Dingjun Mountain.
From afar, one could see dense groups of Japanese pirates surrounding the mountain, shouts of killing were deafening, and the battle was extremely brutal.
Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat. This looked like a trap no matter how you looked at it!
He frowned and thought to himself: Toyotomi Hideyoshi is full of tricks. It would be terrible if this is a trap to lure the enemy in.
Thinking of this, he turned to Pan Feng and said, "General Pan, can you fight according to my instructions in this battle?"
When Pan Feng heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said with a frown.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? I have followed Your Highness for a long time. Don't you believe in my loyalty and ability?"
Chu Yang quickly waved his hands and explained: "General Pan misunderstood. It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just worried that there's a trick. After all, this is not an easy character to deal with."
"It's a trick? What kind of trick could it be?"
Pan Feng became even more confused. In his opinion, this was just a simple battle to rescue the pirates. As long as he led his army to attack, wouldn't the Japanese pirates be frightened and flee in panic?
Seeing Pan Feng's disapproving expression, Chu Yang knew that Pan Feng was straightforward and stubborn, so he patiently explained.
"Just think about it, if we attack rashly now and get ambushed, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"I have an idea. You take the hundred or so cavalrymen under your command, and have each of them cut branches and tie them to the tails of their horses, so as to create the impression of an attacking army from a distance."
"If the Japanese pirates really set up an ambush, they will be panicked when they see our reinforcements arrive. We can then take advantage of the opportunity to kill them. Even if they don't retreat, they won't dare to attack General Xing and his men again."
After listening to Chu Yang's plan, Pan Feng suddenly realized it and thought: Your Highness is wise, I almost fell into the trap of the Japanese pirates!
He quickly bowed and accepted the order, saying, "I understand. I'll arrange it right away!"
After that, Pan Feng gathered more than a hundred cavalrymen, asked them to cut branches and tie them to the horses' tails, then spurred their horses and whipped them, galloping towards the direction of the Japanese pirates' camp.
For a while.
The sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing echoed throughout the valley, raising dust and making such a huge noise that if you didn't know, you would really think that a large army was approaching!
Chu Yang stood on a high place, watching all this from afar. He saw that the Japanese pirates were really frightened by the sudden formation. They stopped attacking one after another and looked around in panic, like a group of headless flies.
"Haha, it seems my plan worked!"
Chu Yang was secretly delighted and was preparing to order the entire army to attack and completely defeat these Japanese pirates.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a low horn sounded from the Japanese pirates' formation. The originally chaotic Japanese pirates instantly became orderly. They quickly changed their formation and slowly came towards Pan Feng and others!
"What, coming at me!"
"Aren't they afraid that Xing Daorong will come down the mountain and stab them in the back? They are being attacked from both sides!"
Chu Yang's face suddenly changed. He always felt that something was wrong.
At this critical moment, he exclaimed: "Reinforcements are coming, and we are fighting them? This guy is stupid, he must be here to test my strength, and then retreat after the test is completed!"
"Why are they testing the reinforcements? Could it be that the Japanese pirates are deliberately besieging Xing Daorong to lure out our army? After confirming that all the troops have left the city, they can besiege Sanqing County, or Qiongzhou City!"
"At the moment, this is the only possibility!"
