The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 303: Plotting against Mu Yuntian
The entire Northern Mongolian camp was engulfed in a sea of fire. Ji Dongkeyou looked at the camp in the sea of fire and was shaking with anger. He knew that the situation was hopeless on his side, so he had no choice but to flee with the remaining 30,000 to 40,000 of his men.
He didn't dare to rush towards Hezhou Pass, as that would mean death. His only way to survive was to retreat back to the Northern Mongolian grasslands.
Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to escape. He looked at the camp behind him again and saw Ji Dongkeyou fleeing with his men.
When Chu Chengfeng led his men to charge out of the camp, they could only watch from afar a fleeing dragon of light several miles ahead of them. They fled farther and farther away.
Chu Chengfeng sighed. He still did not have enough troops on his side. Otherwise, he could have kept Ji Dong Keyou here completely today.
However, this battle was considered a great victory. At least 70,000 of Jidong Keyou's 150,000 troops were killed, and the remaining Northern Mongolian soldiers fled in all directions.
The army captured about 20,000 people, and the rest all escaped. A lot of war horses and supplies were seized. The battle lasted for nearly two hours.
On the other side, after receiving Chu Chengfeng’s invitation to join in a surprise attack on the Northern Mongolian army, Mu Yuntian stood up from his seat in shock.
He never imagined that Chu Chengfeng would be so bold as to attack the Northern Mongolian army. Even if Chu Chengfeng put all the more than 80,000 people in Zuoguan, he might not be able to deal with the Northern Mongolian army.
A myriad of thoughts ran through his mind, and his first thought was whether Chu Chengfeng had tricked him into coming over there in order to deal with him. He glanced at the soldiers from the left army who had come to deliver the letter.
Countless thoughts emerged in his mind, but soon, he denied Chu Chengfeng's speculation that he had taken action.
Even if Chu Chengfeng wanted to deal with him again, even if he knew that he was colluding with Northern Mongolia, he would not dare to attack him in front of the army, as that would be tantamount to rebellion.
But he couldn't understand why Chu Chengfeng invited him to fight against the Northern Mongolian army. Either Chu Chengfeng didn't know that he had betrayed him. The most likely reason why Chu Chengfeng was able to defeat the Northern Mongolian army in the Battle of Zuoguan was that Chu Chengfeng had an extremely strong strategic mind.
If this is the case, then Chu Chengfeng might really have his own ideas about dealing with the Northern Mongolian Army. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about the Northern Mongolian Army.
If the Northern Mongolian army was destroyed, their plan would be completely bankrupt. Without the deterrence of the Northern Mongolian army, not only would the army of the Great Western Dynasty not dare to advance rashly, even the uprisings of South Vietnam and the Japanese pirates might have to be delayed.
After all, if Dayan had spare strength, how could those people dare to cause trouble when they were not adequately prepared?
A gleam of brilliance suddenly surged in Mu Yuntian's eyes. He absolutely could not let Chu Chengfeng succeed since Chu Chengfeng had invited him to fight the enemy together.
It is very likely that Chu Chengfeng needs military support. No matter what Chu Chengfeng's plan is, he might as well lead the army to find out.
If possible, he could also destroy Chu Chengfeng's plan, and even work with Bei Meng to bury Chu Chengfeng in the camp of the Bei Meng army.
If the imperial court investigated the matter, he could say that Chu Chengfeng was greedy for merit and acted rashly, launching a surprise attack on the Northern Mongolian army camp, which ultimately led to the annihilation of the entire army.
He could even take the opportunity to bring Zuoguan under his command. By then, Jiang Fan would have no way out when he arrived at Hezhou Pass.
With his heart pounding, Mu Yuntian hurriedly informed the soldier who delivered the letter that he would immediately assemble his troops and set out.
After Mu Yuntian sent the Zuoguan soldier away, he quickly began to reorganize his troops. However, his speed in reorganizing his troops was not fast. Since he was preparing to destroy Chu Chengfeng's plan, he certainly couldn't get there so quickly.
It would be best if Chu Chengfeng could not wait for their support and had already started a war with the Northern Mongolian army, causing Chu Chengfeng to suffer heavy losses before he took action.
Anyway, it was a dark and windy day, so after he rushed over, he ordered his men to kill indiscriminately. Then, if someone pretended to be the Zuoguan army, he would order his men to kill the Zuoguan army as well.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. After hesitating for nearly half an hour, the army finally set out. Even when they were marching on the road, their speed was as slow as a turtle.
Just as his army had walked not far out of Youguan, they heard fireworks rising into the sky ahead. Seeing this, the sneer on his face deepened.
He knew that Chu Chengfeng could not wait for his arrival and had already started fighting with the Northern Mongolian army. By the time he rushed over, it would be at least two hours later.
By then, Chu Chengfeng's army will be exhausted and can be annihilated in one fell swoop!
Just like that, after some hesitation, Mu Yuntian led 50,000 Right Pass troops and arrived at the battlefield ahead two hours later.
But when he saw the Northern Mongolian camp in front of him engulfed in flames and the camp was completely silent, he was completely stunned.
For a moment, he was unable to accept what he had seen. How could it be possible that the Northern Mongolian Army’s camp had become such a horrible state?
Judging from the situation, the Northern Mongolian Army seemed to have been defeated, and he didn't even see the shadows of the Northern Mongolian Army and the Zuoguan Army. Where are they?
Mu Yuntian felt anxious and hurriedly led his army to the front of the Beimeng camp, under the light of the fire.
The 50,000 troops of Youguan and Mu Yuntian stared blankly at everything in front of them. In the fire ahead, many bodies of the Northern Mongolians could be seen.
At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves and shouts suddenly rang out around.
"The ones coming are the Youguan army. Has your commander Mu Yuntian arrived yet?"
Following the shout, Mu Yuntian's eyes were filled with astonishment. He turned around and saw countless Zuoguan cavalrymen appearing around him, numbering about 70,000 people.
In this battle, the Zuoguan army lost nearly 3,000 people, but compared with any other battle with Northern Mongolia, this was the one with the smallest casualties.
Mu Yuntian looked at the army at Zuoguan and found that there were almost no casualties. A look of horror welled up in his eyes.
Judging from the current situation, the Northern Mongolian army should have suffered a major defeat, but why did the Zuoguan army suffer so few casualties?
However, he just noticed a detail, that is, in the Beimeng camp, there were many bodies of Beimeng soldiers burning inside. In other words, Beimeng was really defeated.
Listening to the shouts of the opposing army, a trusted general looked at Mu Yuntian and said, "Commander, what should we do now?!"
They are now surrounded. If they do not respond, there is a high possibility of conflict between the two sides.
Judging from the posture of the Zuoguan army, they still have enough strength to fight them.
Of course, the trusted army on his side only has about 30,000 people, and they may not really join them in attacking the Zuoguan army.
Therefore, their only choice was to meet Chu Chengfeng. A gleam of light flashed in Mu Yuntian's eyes. He had 50,000 troops with him. He could meet Chu Chengfeng in front of the battle line without worrying that Chu Chengfeng would attack him.
"Tell them that I am here... and ask them what they want to do!" He said indifferently to his trusted men.
