Chapter 21 Lure the enemy (urgent)

"Go and see."

Tuoba Tao turned around and left the tent, the chief of staff and officers such as Xiao Tian followed out and followed up onto the watchtower.

Standing on the watchtower and looking out, there were groups of defeated soldiers fleeing from the northeast direction, all over the mountains and fields. It was the bright moon light soldiers who had not returned for a long time.

"This is..." the chief of staff took a breath and said in a lost voice, "It's our people!"

"This is impossible." Xiao Tian was shocked and hissed, "The enemy troops fleeing northeast are only seven or eight hundred people at most, and the enemy general Meng Hu has also fled in panic. Our army has 3,000 pursuers, and the troops are almost four times that of the enemy! How could this be the result? How could it be!"

"Could it be..." The chief of staff's face changed slightly, and he gave a self-reasonable explanation, "Is the reinforcements from the Guanghui Empire here?"

As the chief of staff finished speaking, a long and distant horn sound came from the wilderness ahead. Then an army chased Mingyue's defeated soldiers and came from the foot of Qingyun Mountain. A big flag was flying in front of the army, and a golden sun was embroidered on the red flag!

Under the banner that was waving in the wind, a man with a big figure waved his black gun and walked as fast as he could.

"Meng Hu!?" The chief of staff was shocked and said inexplicably, "It turned out to be Meng Hu! Oh no, this is a trap!"

The chief of staff finally came to his senses. At noon, the enemy fled without fighting, and it was indeed premeditated. He fled in three directions to disperse the forces of Mingyue's army, and then concentrate his forces to attack the whole route!

Xiao Tian suddenly clasped his fists and said, "General, please allow Bei Yi to lead his troops to the reception."

"Well." Tuoba Tao nodded and said in a deep voice, "But it's too late today, so it's not advisable to fight again. Just take the soldiers back to the camp. Don't fight in a relationship, so as not to fall into the enemy's tricks."

"yes!"

Xiao Tian responded and took the order.

Soon, the endless sound of trumpets sounded in the Mingyue Camp. The closed gate slowly opened. Teams of Mingyue soldiers rushed out from it, facing the Mingyue soldiers who had escaped from the mountains and fields ahead. When the defeated soldiers saw the reinforcements, they were immediately energetic and fled back to the camp like they accelerated their pace.

Mingyue's army came out of the camp to respond, and the Tigers immediately stopped chasing and confronted the enemy's army a distance of one stone. Xiao Tian tried to approach several times, but his opponent retreated several times. The distance between the two armies remained apart. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Xiao Tian did not dare to attack rashly, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

It was soon dark, and the Tigers set up bonfires in the wilderness, gathered at the distance of the Mingyue Empire Army's sight and laughed loudly, enjoying the fragrant roasted buns. There was even a little wild boar being barbecued on the fire. Across the distance, the Mingyue Empire soldiers in the camp could smell the aroma of barbecue.

The wilderness, by the fire.

Meng Hu called Mianzi to the front and gave him a face-to-face speech, and finally asked, "Did you remember everything?"

The millet shouted: "Don't worry, sir, remember everything."

Meng Hu nodded and said, "Go."

"yes!"

The millstone agreed and turned around and hid under the night sky with a team of soldiers.

Watching Mianzi and the others leave, Meng Hu's expression quickly returns to his original coldness. He walks by the soldiers sitting by the fire, leaving his equally cold voice in the air: "Wolf cubs, eat and drink, hurry up and sleep, raise your energy, and have fun with the Mingyue Empire Army in the second half of the night."

The soldiers agreed and fell asleep after eating one by one.

The purpose of camping under the enemy's nose is of course to anger the enemy and lure the enemy to attack. This is a dangerous move, but Meng Hu is fearless. The radius of more than ten miles is a flat wilderness. As long as a few teams of secret whistles are sent in the wilderness, the enemy's actions will be invisible!

The only thing Meng Hu is worried about now is that the enemy will not be deceived!

Mingyue camp, central army tent.

Xiao Tian clenched his fists angrily and said lowly: "General, these bastards are too arrogant. They are actually camping under our noses. If they don't go out to teach them a lesson, they really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

Tuoba Tao glanced at Xiao Tian coldly and said, "Let's teach? How to teach a lesson?"

Xiao Tian said in a muffled voice: "The humble position only requires two thousand light soldiers..."

Tuoba Shouhuo said: "Can you catch up with them?"

"This..." Xiao Tian was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he said hatefully, "Hey, it would be great if the cavalry brigade was there."

"The cavalry may not be useful," the chief of staff sighed and said helplessly, "A dozen miles ahead of this is the stretch of Qingyun Mountains. The enemy only needs to hide in the mountains, and our cavalry will be helpless."

Xiao Tian suddenly said, "General, why don't you send two elite troops out of the camp from both sides and touch them quietly?"

Tuoba Tao said coldly: "What you can think of, Meng Hu would not have thought of? Since he dared to camp outside my camp with a fire, he would definitely be prepared for it. I am afraid that the wilderness will be filled with his secret whistles. You have just led the camp here and he has already known the news."

Xiao Tiandao: "Even if the sneak attack fails, they cannot be safe."

The chief of staff looked moved and said, "General, this is a trick. And as long as the troops are not too dispersed and do not leave the plain too far, there should be no major problems."

Tuoba Tao pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's try."

Late at night, the faint moonlight fell on the wilderness, and it was cold.

Meng Huzhu's gun stood in the wilderness, and behind him, snoring loudly. Although it was under the eyes of the enemy, the soldiers had already fallen asleep.

A tiny sound of footsteps suddenly sounded from the right rear. Meng Hu turned around when he heard the sound, and the thin leopard figure had already emerged from the wormwood.

"Sir...sir." Leopard gasped, "Come...sir."

"Oh?" Meng Hu said in a narrow voice, "You can't help it?"

Less than a moment later, Dunzi ran back from the other side and shouted: "Sir, the enemy has left the camp."

"Very good!" Meng Hu's eyes showed murderous intent and said in a deep voice, "Leopard, Dunzi, wake up your brothers quietly."

The two of them took the order and woke up the soldiers who were sleeping one by one. A small riot suddenly broke out in the camp, but soon the riot was calmed down. Because the Mingyue Empire Army, which was quietly approaching from the left and right sides, did not find any abnormality.

Under the cold moonlight, Xiao Tianzheng led three thousand bright moon light troops forward and quietly advanced.

During this expedition, Tuoba Tao originally led two light infantrymen from the regiments, but after two days of attack, nearly 10,000 light soldiers were killed and killed, but now there are only more than 6,000 left. Tonight's sneak attack, the light infantry in Mingyue's camp was almost all out. In addition to the 4,000 heavy infantry left behind in the camp, Tuoba Tao even dispatched spearmen and archers.

Not far ahead was the enemy's camp, and Xiao Tian suddenly raised his right hand.

Under the faint moonlight, the three thousand light soldiers following behind quickly dispersed to both sides, and then lay down on the wasteland. Things went so smoothly that these damn bastards were really arrogant. They didn't even send a single whistle. The three thousand bright moon army had already touched the nose, and they were still sleeping soundly!

In a flash, Xiao Tian's raised right hand had fallen forward fiercely.

"kill!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!!"

The light soldiers following Xiao Tian jumped up one after another, like a flood that broke the dike swept forward.

Almost at the same time, there were also shouts of landslides and tsunamis not far away from the opposite side, and three thousand Mingyue light soldiers came from the night sky. Because Mingyue light soldiers launched a sneak attack from a very close distance, the original two sides of the surround have actually formed a three-sided encirclement. In addition to deliberately leaving a gap towards Mingyue Camp, the other three directions have been blocked.

The soldiers of the Tigers who were sleeping soundly finally "awakened". The enemy troops on all sides were everywhere. They instinctively ran towards the direction of the Mingyue Camp.

At this moment, the originally dead moon camp suddenly churned, and countless bright torches were lit from the camp, and the closed gate also opened. Amid the sound of footsteps of the earth and the mountains, teams of heavily armed infantry had already surged out, and were about to block the last remaining gap and form a four-sided encirclement of the fleeing enemy.

A perfect plan!

First, use the absolute advantage of light infantry to encircle the enemy on three sides, drive the enemy in a predetermined direction, and then use the heavy infantry to achieve a fatal blow!

Unfortunately, the Mingyue Empire Army underestimated the ability of the defeated soldiers to escape.

When the Mingyue Empire Army was about to form a siege on all sides, the defeated soldiers who were fleeing forward like a swarm suddenly split into two, almost sliding across the front of the Mingyue heavy army. With just one step, the aggressive Mingyue heavy army did not even touch the enemy's defeated soldiers.

"Meng Hu ran west!"

"Meng Hu ran west!"

"Meng Hu ran west!"

Suddenly, a tsunami-like cry suddenly sounded under the night sky. Guided by the shouts, the Mingyue Empire Army that had emerged from all over the nest quickly gathered into a rolling iron stream, chasing the enemy soldiers fleeing westward and storming them.
