Longwu War Emperor

Chapter 171 Retreat Without Fighting
"Yes, General!"

Amidst the astonishment on the faces of Mo Xijun, Situ Mo and others, Long Yun and the six of them gave a loud answer, patted their horses and galloped towards the opposing army.

"Miao Miao Miao!"

Liu Hucheng and others saw it and immediately applauded it.

Jiang Tian recruited Luo Qiang's help in the way of fighting, but Liu Geng took advantage of this opportunity to spread his secrets to Jiang Tian's side, which is really brilliant.

Liu Geng could have allowed Long Yun and the six to continue lurking beside Jiang Tian. Now that he has revealed it in advance, although he intends to hit the morale of the Blackstone Army, it can be seen that he has the confidence to win this battle.

"General, what should I do?"

Liu Geng's move really dealt a great blow to the Blackstone Army, and even Situ Mo asked Jiang Tiandao in a somewhat bewildered manner.

One increase and one decrease, the gap between the high-end combat power of the two sides suddenly widened by more than ten people, no wonder they were so panicked.

"Don't worry, everything will be well known."

Jiang Tian was calm and composed.

With his mind, he would not have expected such a possibility, but with the blood evil talisman, how could he be afraid of such a trick?
"Leave ten soldiers on each mountain to guard the flag, and the rest follow suit."

After Long Yun and the six entered the ranks, Liu Geng issued orders with great confidence, and directly led his troops to attack the Blackstone Army.

If it weren't for the rules of the battle for the flag, ten people had to be left to guard the flag, and he was afraid that only one person would be left symbolically on each peak.

"25 people per peak in the back row, 50 people in each peak in the front row, and the rest stay in the middle peak."

Seeing the other party approaching extremely quickly, Jiang Tian ordered calmly.

"Yes, General!"

Situ suddenly took orders and went to dispatch troops and generals.

"Your Highness, do you dare to fight this general?"

When they came to Baizhang away, Liu Geng raised his hand to slow down the troops and asked Jiang Tian to fight.

Jiang Tian smiled lightly, and said: "Our army is obviously weak, how could this general take advantage of his own weaknesses and the enemy's strengths?"

"All listen to the order and retreat to the middle camp!"

Following his order, the remaining 550 riders all retreated to the top of Zhongying Peak.

"very good."

Arriving at the bottom of the Black Stone Army's middle camp, Liu Geng nodded confidently, and said to one of his subordinates, "Qichang Yu, I ordered you to lead 75 cavalry to capture Jiayi Peak."

According to the military practice, the five rows of peaks are called A, B, C, D, and E, and from left to right, they are called by numbers.

The so-called Jiayi Peak is the leftmost peak in the first row.

"Yes, General!"

Yu Qichang immediately led 75 cavalry to attack Jia Yifeng.

As soon as Yu Qichang left, Liu Geng ordered another banner leader: "Fan Qichang, I ordered you to lead 75 cavalry to capture the Jiawu Peak!"

"Yes, General!"

Fan Qichang immediately led 75 cavalry to attack the rightmost mountain in the first row.

They only left 150 people to guard the camp, and sent two soldiers and horses away. There were still 700 people under the middle camp, and the force was still superior.

"General, do you want to send troops to support?"

Situ suddenly asked Jiang Tiandao in a deep voice.

The two flag commanders on the other side are both second-tier military generals, and the Black Stone Army is inferior to the Mohe Army in all aspects, and its strength is [-]% smaller. Even if it has a strong advantage, it may not last long.

If you lose these two peaks and want to regain them, it will be difficult.

Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "No, just let them stick to it."

"Yes, General."

Although he felt that this was inappropriate, based on his confidence in Jiang Tian, ​​Situ Mo still obeyed the arrangement.

"charge!"

The two soldiers and horses of the Mohe Army quickly attacked halfway up the mountain. When they were about to enter the range, the two banner leaders ordered the troops to speed up and charged to the top of the mountain.

Although the morale of the Blackstone army was shaken, the basic quality was still there, and a round of shooting was immediately launched.

The Mohe army was indeed a lion of tigers and wolves. They defended tightly and moved swiftly. They charged more than halfway, and the total casualties were less than 20.

"Banner, what should we do?"

On Jiayi Peak, a team leader anxiously asked the banner leader in charge.

The opponent's momentum is too strong, and if they go up, they can only stop shooting and use the condescending advantage to dive down.

"call out!"

At this moment, an arrow sounded from the sky above the middle camp, ordering them to abandon their guard on the mountain and retreat directly.

"What are you doing, you lost two peaks before you even started, what else are you going to fight?"

Although the two peaks finally retreated as promised, many officers secretly complained and were extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Tian's tactics.

"Hehe, it's really vulnerable!"

After the mountains, seeing the performance of both sides, Liu Hucheng and others sneered.

"Little General Liu deserves to be the future star of the Jagged Legion. It is really brilliant to defeat others without fighting."

Others praised Liu Geng greatly, saying that he was rare in the world, and that he was full of hype.

Mo Xijun's pretty face was frosty, and he said to Liu Hucheng, "General Liu, could it be that you forgot how you lost in the battle palace last time?"

"Now that the Blackstone Army has not lost a single soldier or horse, why does the general assert that His Highness the Eighth Prince will definitely lose?"

"Don't let extreme joy beget sorrow again."

"Humph!"

When Liu Hucheng heard this, the smile immediately froze on his face, not to mention how ugly his face was.

What Mo Xijun said was not false at all, last time he also thought that Shi Lei would win, but in the end, Jiang Tian turned the tables with thunderous means.

With Jiang Tian's means, this possibility is not ruled out this time.

Queen Liu warned him repeatedly that Liu Geng must be helped to ascend to the position of lieutenant general. If it was the same this time, his good days would be over.

"General Liu, why should you be fooled by mere lies..."

Wang Gonggong said in a dark voice: "Little General Liu is superior to His Highness the Eighth Prince in every aspect..."

"According to a certain family, His Highness the Eighth Prince is just pretending to be calm, and the Mohe army will surely win this battle."

"Then we'll see."

Mo Xijun knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he said something coldly and stopped talking.

After the two troops occupied Jiayi and Jiawu peaks, Liu Geng ordered 30 people to defend each peak, and the rest were transferred back to the bottom of the Blackstone Army's middle camp.

After finishing all this, he calmly said: "Your Highness, if this goes on like this, the Blackstone Army will definitely lose."

The people below were all emotionally fluctuating, but Jiang Tian looked confident.

He replied indifferently: "Is that so, then General Liu may as well keep the status quo."

"keep status quo?"

Hearing Jiang Tian's answer, Liu Geng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Didn't he know that if Jiang Tian abandoned the two peaks so easily, he must have a backup?
What's more, the Black Stone Army wore Shura masks all over, which always gave him a feeling of unreliability, and he was not as confident as he appeared on the surface.

"Yu Qichang, Fan Qichang, I will order you two to lead a hundred cavalry each, and take down the second and fourth peaks!"

Without showing any signs of expression, Liu Geng gave another order to the two banner leaders.

"Yes, General!"

The two banner leaders immediately took orders, and led the troops to attack the second and fourth peaks.

"General, what should I do?"

At this time, Situ Mo's eyes sparkled brightly, and he asked Jiang Tiandao.

If the opponent can't hold out after occupying the first and fifth peaks, they are indeed very passive, but now they are completely different.

After the soldiers and horses of Jiayi and Jiawu peaks withdrew, there were 650 cavalry in the middle battalion.

As for the opponent's large army, there were only five hundred and fifty-sixty people left.

Whether it is to send troops to attack the opponent's main force, or to send troops to support the second and fourth peaks, there is enough room for maneuver.

"Will the general send me to attack?"

Hearing what Situ Mo said, Chu Hongyu and the others all looked at Jiang Tian with expectant eyes, hoping to lead the attack and make this first effort.
